Metals One CEO Jonathan Owen joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce promising re-assay results from the Black Schist Project in Finland, revealing high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt-zinc mineralization at the Paltamo P1 target. The historical diamond core drillholes re-assayed by the company showed strong intersections of mineralization within a black schist sequence, reinforcing Metals One’s aim to expand its existing resource from 57.1 Mt to a potential 200 Mt.

The P1 target, located 8 km north of P5, has shown promising indications of a larger, shallow mineral resource. Historical drilling in the area identified a 15m-25m thick zone of nickel mineralization, with potential for expansion to the west, north, and south. These results bolster Metals One’s resource expansion strategy, and the company is now considering a drilling program to further define the resource area based on the re-assay findings.

This discovery marks another step forward for Metals One in its ongoing exploration and resource-building efforts at the Black Schist Project.

Gryphon Digital Mining CEO Steve Gutterman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss his plans for the company’s future and shared recent achievements during an interview with Proactive. Gutterman, who joined Gryphon a month ago, brings extensive experience from fast-growing industries like cannabis and financial services, positioning him to drive growth in the dynamic fields of Bitcoin mining and AI computing.

Under Gutterman’s leadership, Gryphon is taking a two-pronged approach. First, the company is strengthening its core Bitcoin mining operations in upstate New York, with a focus on efficient, sustainable power. Second, Gryphon aims to leverage its infrastructure for high-performance computing (HPC) applications, expanding into AI compute tasks. "Instead of asking the computer to mine for Bitcoin, we want it to perform AI functions," Gutterman explained, emphasizing the crossover in power needs and infrastructure between the two areas.

To bolster this growth strategy, Gryphon recently restructured its debt arrangement with Anchorage, a move that positions Anchorage as Gryphon’s largest shareholder and aligns capital more effectively for future expansion. According to Gutterman, these foundational moves lay the groundwork for Gryphon to lead sustainably in both the Bitcoin and AI computing sectors.

Immunic Inc (NASDAQ:IMUX) chief medical officer Dr Andreas Muehler talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the publication of the company’s Phase 1 and Phase 1b clinical trial results for IMU-856 in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology. Muehler highlighted the company’s excitement regarding the publication, underscoring how it validates the significance of IMU-856’s clinical data for the medical field. He expressed gratitude to the authors, investigators, and patients involved in this trial, acknowledging their roles in achieving this milestone.

The clinical trial’s first stages explored the safety and tolerability of IMU-856, with parts A and B focused on healthy volunteers. Muehler confirmed that the treatment was well tolerated and revealed a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, with a convenient daily oral dosing schedule. He emphasized that this Phase 1 study also ventured into the therapeutic potential for IMU-856 in celiac disease, an under-addressed condition without approved treatments. The trial’s design allowed Immunic to test how IMU-856 might alleviate the effects of gluten on patients, with encouraging results for celiac disease symptom management and nutrient absorption.

IMU-856’s distinct mode of action sets it apart from other treatments, as it supports epithelial regeneration in the bowel without targeting the immune system directly. This approach holds promise for enhancing gut health and protecting the bowel’s barrier function. Immunic is exploring additional applications of IMU-856 for other gastrointestinal conditions, aiming to demonstrate its broader therapeutic potential. As Muehler noted, "The bowel barrier function and epithelial architecture are critical for many gastrointestinal diseases, beyond celiac disease."
