Proactive - Interviews for investors

Lifezone Metals CEO Chris Showalter joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss significant developments in the company during a recent interview. Lifezone Metals, listed on the NYSE for a year, is focusing on their flagship nickel project in partnership with BHP. With over 100 patents in hydrometallurgy, the company is leveraging its expertise to bring new sources of battery metals such as nickel, copper, and cobalt from Tanzania to market. The company's mission includes ensuring that their processing technologies meet the growing sustainability demands of consumers.

Lifezone Metals is working on a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the Kabanga project in Tanzania, in collaboration with BHP and Drake Global. This comprehensive study encompasses both the mine site and a hydrometallurgical refinery, with completion targeted for the end of Q3 2024. These integrated projects aim to produce refined metals within Tanzania, providing substantial economic benefits to the local community and mitigating project risks. Tanzania's infrastructure investments, including standard gauge rail and hydroelectric power, position the country as a regional beneficiation hub, unlocking further opportunities for growth and development.

Showalter emphasized the importance of sustainable battery metal production, particularly in addressing the high CO2 footprints associated with Indonesian nickel. Lifezone Metals is committed to employing clean processing methods designed to produce metals with a lower environmental impact, thereby making their products more competitive in the market. The company’s initiatives not only support the global transition to cleaner energy but also contribute to the development of sustainable and responsible mining practices.

London’s blue chips opened flat after an underwhelming trading update from oil giant BP.

The FTSE 100 was up just one point at 8,194 in the early exchanges with a dull read on retail sales also dampening the mood.

BP dropped more than 2.5% as it said production would be flat this quarter with gas and other alternatives the main cause.

Retail sales meanwhile dropped 0.5% like-for-like due to the persistent rain, reversing the 0.4% rise seen in May. Expectations had been for a 0.2% increase.

Café/bar chain Loungers shrugged off the wet weather to post record sales and profits in its latest year helped by a spate of new openings.

The Cosy Club owner said since the year end it had opened five more sites to add to 36 last year with sales up 5% like-for-like so far.

Housebuilder Vistry reported completions were up 7% in its first half as it welcomed Labour’s plans to boost the building of more homes.

Magnetite Mines Ltd (ASX: MGT) chair Jim McKerlie joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the extension of the deadline for its 1 for 6 pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer from July 12 to July 19. This extension allows investors additional time to consider the recent heads of agreement with JFE Shoji.

Magnetite has partnered with JFE Shoji Australia Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of JFE Shoji Corporation under JFE Holdings, to develop the Razorback Iron Ore Project in South Australia. In return, JFE Shoji will receive magnetite offtake rights, with an option for equity or a joint venture agreement.

McKerlie described the agreement as “enormously positive” for the company’s future. He highlighted that the board extended the entitlement offer deadline to allow shareholders more time to understand the implications of this agreement. He encouraged eligible shareholders to participate in the offer.

The Razorback Iron Ore Project aims to produce high-grade, low-carbon iron ore for green steel production. It has probable ore reserves of 2 billion tonnes and a mineral resource of 3.2 billion tonnes. The project plans to produce 5 million tonnes per year initially, scaling up to 10 million tonnes per year. The largely underexplored 110-kilometre strike zone offers potential for extended mine life.

Gold Mountain Ltd (ASX: GMN) executive director David Evans sits with Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss initial findings from its Down Under REE Project in Brazil. The company has received results from 260 stream sediment samples and conducted 85 kilometres of detailed geophysical radiometric surveys. Assays indicate widespread anomalies across an 80 square kilometre area and suggest the potential for ultra-high-grade hard rock monazite-hosted REE-niobium-uranium-scandium mineralisation. Extensive REE anomalous catchments have been identified, forming highly anomalous areas up to 8 kilometres in length. Radiometric surveys revealed thorium anomalies up to 1,600 metres wide.

In total, 44 spectrometer radiometric traverse lines were conducted, inferring potential areas of significant mineralisation from the geochemical results and radiometric traversing. The comparison of these radiometric values with those in known REE mineralised areas shows similar results within GMN tenements.

An auger drill rig has been ordered, with expected delivery in July 2024, to commence drilling in five identified target areas. Follow-up exploration will include further drilling, additional spectrometer traverses and further sediment sampling to confirm REE content.

Results from the ongoing laboratory analysis are expected by the end of July. The exploration program also extends to the Ronaldinho Project, where similar techniques are being employed.

Hive Digital Technologies Executive Chairman Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's unaudited production figures for June. The company reported mining 119 Bitcoin during the month, increasing its Bitcoin holdings by 2%, bringing the total to 2,496 Bitcoin on the balance sheet. Hive maintained an impressive average Bitcoin mining capacity of over 4.7 Exahash ("EH/s") in June. With a Bitcoin HODL value exceeding $140 million as of July 7, the company’s enterprise value appears very attractive compared to its peers.

Holmes shared that the company has received confirmation that the remaining batch of its S21 orders are ready to ship and have been upgraded to S21 Pro models. This upgrade represents approximately 1,150 S21 Pro miners from Hive's original order placed in December. Additionally, the new purchase of 1,000 S21 Pro miners, announced in the May production report, are also ready to ship.

With the deployment of these new machines, Hive Digital Technologies anticipates a significant boost in its total operational hashrate, expected to reach 5.5 EH/s once fully installed. The global fleet efficiency is projected to improve to 24.5 J/TH. The company plans to have these new machines installed and operational before the end of July.

These advancements underscore Hive's commitment to expanding its mining capacity and optimizing its operations, positioning the company for continued growth and increased competitiveness in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency mining industry.

Great Southern Copper PLC managing director Sam Garrett joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with news of the signing of a purchase option agreement for the Cerro Negro exploitation concession in Chile.

Garrett noted that the acquisition marks a significant step in expanding the Especularita project portfolio.

Cerro Negro, which includes the historical Mostaza mine, was previously operated by Antofagasta Minerals and presents a high-potential drill target due to existing historical drilling data.

Garrett mentioned that the company has initiated the permitting process for Cerro Negro and other advanced drill target prospects such as Victoria and Aurelia. The aim is to begin drilling within three months, subject to the permitting process.

The Cerro Negro concession is particularly valuable due to its high-grade copper, silver, and gold mineralisation. Great Southern Copper plans to rapidly expand the existing mineral inventory while also targeting larger, lower-grade porphyry copper systems, suggested by the mineralogy, alteration, and petrography data.

Garrett highlighted the potential for further significant mineralisation up to four kilometres south along strike from the current footprint, which remains untested.

US Gold Corp CEO George Bee joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with the latest developments at the company's CK Gold Project in Wyoming.

Bee highlighted the strategic advantages of the project's location, emphasising Wyoming's resource-friendly environment and infrastructure. The state supports mining activities, which align well with US Gold Corp's operations, making it a favourable jurisdiction.

Bee elaborated on the project's environmental benefits, noting the absence of hazardous chemicals and smokestack emissions. The mining process involves extracting rock, processing it into concentrate, and shipping it to a smelter, minimising environmental impact. Additionally, the project utilises a dry stack tailings system to recycle water, addressing water scarcity issues and avoiding the risks associated with traditional containment dams.

US Gold Corp has already secured an industrial siting permit and a conditional mine operating permit, contingent on obtaining water discharge, reclamation bond, and air quality permits. The first two conditions have been met, and the air quality permit is expected soon.

Next steps include integrating permitting conditions into engineering studies and engaging with local suppliers. The project's proximity to major highways and cities facilitates access to equipment and skilled labour, enhancing its attractiveness and feasibility. Bee concluded by expressing confidence in the project's progress and its potential benefits to the local economy and environment.

The first full week of the new Labour administration has started where the previous government left off, the take-out of a long-standing UK business by a foreign predator.

FTSE 250-listed soft drinks company Britvic has agreed to be taken over by Carlsberg, the Danish brewery for £3.1 billion, a 36% rise from the point talks started last month.

Otherwise, the FTSE 100 is 22 down at 8,181 after a KPMG survey showed starting salaries rising and casting doubt on early interest rate cut prospects.

Housebuilders are rising again as obvious beneficiaries of PM Keir Starmer’s plans for 1.5 million more houses along with the scrapping of many planning laws.

Persimmon is up 1% alongside Barratt.

GSK is the largest faller after its RSV and legal setbacks in the US recently.

Also in the US over the weekend, Paramount, one of Hollywood's oldest companies, agreed to merge with independent film studio Skydance Media creating a new firm worth around US$28 billion.
