Proactive - Interviews for investors

Aclara Resources Inc (TSX:ARA, OTC:ARAAF)chief operating officer Barry Murphy talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest progress toward becoming a vertically integrated rare earth producer. In the interview, Murphy highlighted the completion of a conceptual engineering study for Aclara's rare earth separation facility, conducted in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Research Council and Hatch. The results of this study have positioned Aclara as a potential leader outside of Asia in heavy rare earth production.

Murphy emphasized, "The recoveries associated specifically with the heavy rare earths are all north of 90%, so that's really good news." He also discussed how the study's estimated capital expenditure of $354 million underscores the company’s commitment to reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact.

Looking ahead, Aclara aims to advance the project toward a pre-feasibility study, with plans to explore alternative extraction chemistries and optimal facility locations in the United States.

Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd (AIM:MSMN) CEO Andy Carroll talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest developments, including the reacquisition of EP-145 in the Northern Territory of Australia. Carroll highlighted that the growing gas shortage and helium market opportunities made this a strategic move.

“We're very pleased to take back control of EP-145 in this increasingly promising environment,” Carroll stated, referencing the company's 100% ownership of the project. Additionally, he noted that a favourable political shift in the Northern Territory is expected to further benefit the project’s progress.

The discussion also focused on Mosman’s expanding interest in helium, particularly in the US, where a growing semiconductor manufacturing industry and limited helium supplies present new opportunities. Carroll revealed that the company's low-cost Vecta project in the US is expected to commence drilling before the end of the year. He further explained that Mosman is actively pursuing deals in the US to capitalise on strong helium demand, backed by a recent capital raise.

Carroll emphasised that the company is “well funded” to pursue these opportunities, having sold its Stanley asset and raised capital. The focus now shifts to advancing both EP-145 and its US helium ventures.

Foresight Solar Fund Ltd (LSE:FSFL) fund manager Ross Driver talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the current landscape for renewable energy investments and the role of government policy in fostering growth. Driver emphasised the maturity of the renewable energy sector and called for certainty from policymakers to ensure long-term investments in a low-carbon economy.

Reflecting on the government's UK investment summit, Driver discussed the need for stable policies to unlock private capital for infrastructure development. He highlighted progress in the renewable sector, such as the approval of significant solar projects, but also pointed out challenges like grid connection delays and the impact of high inflation and interest rates on investments.

Driver underscored the importance of implementing recommendations to accelerate grid access and expressed confidence in the sector's ability to stand on its own with the right government support.

“The renewable energy sector has matured immensely in the last decade and confidently stands on its own two feet,” said Driver. However, he noted that government clarity is essential to maintain momentum and deliver on the promise of a low-carbon economy.
