Proactive - Interviews for investors

Condor Resources CEO Chris Buncic joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s projects, including the key Pucamayo, where its exploration teams performed an analysis of successful 2023 drill results. These results validated the thesis of at least one hydro-magmatic center, with mineralization of gold, silver, and associated elevated values for lead, zinc, and copper.

The Company received notice from the Ministry of Energy and Mines that a separate Environmental Impact Assessment (DIA) will be required for the South East Target, and the application process has been initiated. The community remains supportive of the Company’s exploration efforts, which include expanding drill plans to incorporate an additional 40 drill holes in the South East Target.

Buncic also provided updates on other projects, including, Huinac Punta, and Andrea. After several dormant years, the Company is now engaged in constructive discussions with local community leaders. The team is planning a comprehensive overview of Condor’s activities in Peru and the benefits available to the local community.

For the Huinac Punta project, known for its high-grade silver deposits, the company is navigating the consulted previous process, a governmental requirement for culturally sensitive areas. Progress here is also anticipated by early autumn, potentially leading to new drilling activities.

Jane Edmondson, the Head of Thematic Strategy at VettaFi, joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the significant milestones and future prospects of the NATO Future Defense ETF. Celebrating its one-year anniversary, the ETF has amassed over $400 million in assets and has performed strongly. This period also coincides with NATO’s 75th anniversary, currently being marked by a summit in Washington, D.C.

Edmondson highlighted that 23 of the 32 NATO member countries now meet the 2% GDP defense spending target, a significant increase from six countries in 2021. This rise in defense expenditure is partly attributed to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Major spending increases are noted in Germany and other European nations, focusing on upgrading defense capabilities with new technologies such as AI, robotics, drones, and cyber defense.

Political uncertainties, especially concerning the U.S. elections, have spurred European NATO members to contribute more, reducing their dependency on the U.S. Notably, Poland now spends over 4% of its GDP on defense, with Estonia, Latvia, and Greece exceeding 3%.

Edmondson pointed out that companies such as Germany’s Rheinmetall, Sweden’s Saab, and Finland’s Nokia stand to benefit significantly from the increased defense spending. The NATO Future Defense ETF aims to provide investors with exposure to these growing defense sectors, aligning with NATO’s values and the anticipated increase in spending targets, potentially up to 4% of GDP.

The ETF’s strong performance and substantial asset growth reflect investor confidence in the defense sector’s future potential. As global geopolitical tensions continue to influence defense policies, the NATO Future Defense ETF positions itself as a strategic investment vehicle, providing opportunities for investors to capitalize on the increased defense expenditures and the advancement of cutting-edge defense technologies.

CleanTech Lithium PLC (AIM:CTL, OTCQX:CTLHF) Executive Chairman Dr Steve Kesler joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with an update on the company's lithium projects in Chile. The Chilean government has announced the results of the Expressions of Interest (RFI), which is part of the process towards the award of a Special Lithium Operating Contract (CEOL) required to develop lithium projects in the country.

He said the government has confirmed a total of 88 RFIs were received for the available salars in Chile to develop lithium projects with over 80% indicating the use of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies, a method CleanTech Lithium leads in.

Kesler highlighted that CleanTech Lithium is the most advanced company in Chile applying DLE, positioning it as a strong contender for government prioritisation. The government aims to increase lithium production rapidly, with plans to have three or four new projects operational by 2026. CleanTech Lithium’s Laguna Verde and Viento Andino projects are at the forefront, already having conducted extensive exploration and development work.

"We have a pilot plant up and running, and we'll soon produce battery-grade lithium carbonate," said Kesler. He emphasised the company's ongoing dialogues with local communities and the formal alliance that supports project development due to its sustainable DLE method.

Gold Basin Resources CEO Colin Smith joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce assay results for the first two reverse-circulation drill holes from the company’s ongoing resource expansion and delineation drill campaign at the Gold Basin oxide gold project in Arizona. So far, 5 holes totaling 1,027 meters have been completed out of the planned 3,000-meter program, with the next batch of results anticipated in three weeks.

Smith told Proactive that assay results from resource expansion drilling at Stealth are on par with some of the best oxide gold results to date at the project and showcase the robust nature of the Stealth oxide gold system. In particular, the result from drill hole ST24-026 is highly encouraging, as it confirms the extension of a high-grade oxide gold plunge at depth, which remains open and is to be further tested in this drill program. The results included 138.7 meters at 0.93 g/t Au from 30.5 meters in hole ST24-026 and 82.3 meters at 0.94 g/t Au from 36.6 meters in hole ST24-027.

Smith emphasized that these promising results validate the company’s strategy to expand the resource and delineate the high-grade zones within the Gold Basin project. The ongoing drill campaign aims to further define the extent of mineralization and enhance the overall resource estimate, positioning the project for future development. With continued success in the drilling program, Gold Basin Resources remains committed to advancing the project and unlocking its full potential.

Millennial Potash Chairman Farhad Abasov joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news that the company has earned a total 70% interest in the shares of Equatorial Potash Pty, which, through its Gabon subsidiary Mayumba Potasse SARL, holds 100% of the Banio Potash Project. To achieve the 70% interest, the company has filed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and made milestone payments of $300,000 and 1 million shares of MLP to the vendors of the Banio Potash Project.

Abasov detailed that the PEA report outlines the potential for a low-cost solution mining operation at the Banio Potash Project. The PEA is based on the production of 800,000 tonnes per year of granular muriate of potash. The thick potash horizons, coupled with a solution mining approach, have resulted in one of the lowest CAPEX (US$480M) and OPEX (US$61/tonne MOP) estimates in the industry. The solid economic potential is further demonstrated by a strong post-tax NPV (Net Present Value) of US$1.07 billion and an IRR (Internal Rate of Return) of 32.6%.

The company plans to continue implementing the recommendations from the PEA, which include preparation for additional drilling at the North Target to further expand the resources.

The FTSE 100 made a decent start helped by rises for airlines led by British Airways owner IAG and easyJet though the distraction of England’s Euro 2024 semi-final tonight is likely to loom large.

Underlining its significance, pub chain Wetherspoons reported record revenues with sales up 5.8% in the past ten weeks and presumably helped by England’s run. Sales per pub were 21% higher than pre-pandemic levels said boss Tim Martin.

Overall, the index was up around 27 points at 8,167 despite a poor showing from all the housebuilders after a downbeat trading statement from Barratt. The Footsie listed group reported lower sales and selling prices in the year just ended while adding that completions will fall again in the current year to around 13,000 from 14,000.

Direct Line meanwhile committed to paying out around 60% of post-tax operating profit as a dividend, “with any additional capital returns to be reviewed annually alongside our full-year results”. Shares in the insurer rose by 1%.

Metalla Royalty and Streaming CEO Brett Heath joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss recent developments in an interview. Established in 2016, Metalla is a precious metals royalty and streaming company. Since its inception, Metalla has completed 32 transactions and acquired 102 royalties, amounting to approximately 1.7 million ounces in its portfolio. The company has faced both challenges and opportunities due to fluctuating capital markets and increased interest rates.

In December 2023, Metalla executed its largest transaction by merging with another royalty company, Nova, thereby introducing copper as a third metal to its portfolio, alongside gold and silver. This merger was driven by increasing investor demand for copper, given its importance in the green energy transition. The addition of copper assets, known for their longer mine life, is expected to provide sustained growth and cash flow for Metalla. Heath emphasized that the company will continue to focus on gold, silver, and copper, considering them critical in the upcoming commodity cycle.

Recently, a significant milestone was achieved with G Mining pouring its first gold bar, signaling the start of production at a major Brazilian gold mine. This mine is expected to become Metalla's most significant cash-flowing asset once it reaches full production. Over the next 12-18 months, several other assets are anticipated to begin production, further enhancing the company's growth and financial stability.

Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc (OTC:FMHG) UK head and manager of @whiskybullauctions Jacob Carter speaks to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the benefits and strategies of investing in casks.

Carter explained that investing in casks is a promising opportunity due to the strong correlation between age and value. He highlighted that the market for rare and collectable casks is growing, making it an attractive alternative to traditional assets like real estate or stocks. Cask investments offer more liquidity compared to bottles and can provide returns within 3 to 5 years, especially when stored longer to increase value.

Carter also mentioned that cask investments are free of capital gains tax, classifying them as wasting assets with a predictable life of 50 years or less. He described the different types of casks available, including barrels, Hogsheads, Butts, and specialty casks like Madeira drums and Port pipes, each offering unique profiles and market preferences.

Regarding investment strategies, Carter emphasised the importance of considering the desired length of investment and conducting market research to make informed decisions. He also outlined various exit strategies, such as selling to private investors, wholesalers, distilleries, or through auctions.

Additionally, bottling the cask is an option, although it involves duty and VAT calculations. Carter advised investors to consider macroeconomic conditions, such as trade tariffs, which could impact whisky investment returns. He also reminded investors to factor in storage and insurance costs when planning their investments.
