Proactive - Interviews for investors

Coinsilium Group Limited (AQSE:COIN, OTCQB:CINGF) executive chairman Malcolm Palle speaks to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the current state of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market.

Palle delved into the aftermath of Bitcoin's halving event, explaining its impact on Bitcoin miners and market sentiment. He discussed the concept of 'miner capitulation' and how the reduction in mining rewards affects market dynamics.

Palle highlighted that despite the reduced supply of Bitcoin, the price has not increased as expected. He attributed this to miners selling off their reserves to stay operational during low-profit periods.

"We're kind of living in the aftermath of the halving," Palle said, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the market.

Looking beyond the halving event, Palle examined the influence of US monetary policy and the growing demand for Bitcoin ETFs. He noted that institutional interest in cryptocurrencies is increasing, with Bitcoin being the primary focus due to its established reputation.

As the market navigates these fluctuations, Palle expressed optimism for the future, stating, "Medium-term we're optimistic, long-term we're very optimistic." He predicted that the market might see significant improvements towards the end of the summer and anticipated a strong performance by 2025.

Latrobe Magnesium Ltd (ASX:LMG, OTC:LTRBF) managing director David Paterson joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss progress of the company’s stage 1 demonstration magnesium plant at Hazelwood North in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley.

LMG has developed a patented process to extract magnesium metal from magnesium-rich resources, utilising a hydrometallurgical extraction/thermal reduction process that produces valuable by-products and minimises waste streams.

The stage 1 plant has reported no health, safety or environmental incidents to date and during the commissioning trial, magnesium oxide (MgO) was produced that meets required quality specifications. The plant is now moving towards continuous MgO production, with major construction completed and detailed planning ongoing for full construction and commissioning. MgO produced during the trial was more than 80% pure, boosting confidence in achieving higher quality MgO in the operational phase.

Looking ahead, stage 2 involves a commercial plant aimed at producing more than 10,000 tonnes per annum. This plant will use advanced technology and efficient materials handling to operate at globally competitive costs, meeting rising demand for magnesium, which is projected to double in the next few years.

LMG is also strengthening its financial position, having completed a $12 million placement and expecting an additional $6 million from a rights issue in July. The company reduced its debt by $12.9 million after receiving an R&D rebate in May 2024. Funding options for stages 2 and 3 include a partial sale of site land and a sale and leaseback of the demonstration plant site to raise up to $15 million.

Dynamic Metals Ltd (ASX:DYM) managing director Karen Wellman speaks with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson about the confirmation and extension of a large historical lithium soil anomaly at the Lake Percy Project in the Goldfields Region of Western Australia, with a peak lithium oxide value of 314 parts per million (ppm).

A recent infill and orientation soil sampling program included 762 samples taken at 40-metre spacings, with line spacings between 200 and 400 metres. This program extended the lithium anomaly of greater than 100ppm over a strike of 2.5 kilometres and width of 2 kilometres.

The company has identified lithium anomalies near historic drill holes, which logged multiple wide pegmatites up to 81 metres downhole with elevated lithium values.

Wellman described the results as "very encouraging," and expressed anticipation for the analysis of the lithium assay suite to refine potential drill targets.

Dynamic Metals is evaluating the lithium potential of its land package in WA, particularly following the Widgiemooltha Project transaction with Mineral Resources. The Lake Percy Project, about 120 kilometres west of Norseman, has been historically explored for nickel but was recently identified for its significant lithium potential. This potential has been highlighted by discoveries at the nearby Medcalf spodumene and Burmeister sites.

Previously, White Cliff Nickel Ltd conducted lithium-focused soil sampling in 2015 and 2016, establishing Lake Percy as an area of interest. In 2016, a joint venture with Liontown Resources led to the drilling of eight holes, but no ore-grade lithium intercepts were found, despite encountering multiple pegmatite intervals. Minimal work on lithium potential has been done since Liontown's withdrawal in 2017.

In 2023, Dynamic Metals drilled for nickel, intersecting multiple pegmatites with lithium grades up to 1,170ppm. Sample pulps from these intervals have been submitted for full lithium suite analysis to guide further exploration efforts.

Anson Resources Ltd (ASX:ASN, OTCQB:ANSNF) executive chairman and CEO Bruce Richardson sits down with Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the company’s coming collaboration with Koch Technology Solutions (KTS) to commission a Li-Pro™ lithium selective sorption (LSS) pilot unit at the Green River Lithium Project in Utah, USA. The pilot unit, scheduled to begin production next month, will provide essential data for a potential full-scale Li-Pro™ unit.

The pilot project is jointly funded by Anson Resources and KTS, a Koch Engineered Solutions company, under a cost-sharing framework involving a KTS investment via a convertible note. KTS completed a treatability study in May 2024 using Green River brine, showing superior results in lithium recovery and element rejection compared to Anson's definitive feasibility study.

The pilot unit will operate continuously for two to four months, processing fresh brine from the Bosydaba#1 well into lithium chloride for potential battery-grade lithium carbonate production. This unit supplements Anson’s existing sample demonstration plant at Green River. Concurrent testing of two direct lithium extraction technologies will be conducted using brine from Bosydaba#1.

Richardson highlighted the project's acceleration and reduced risk due to KTS’s advanced technology. KTS commercial director Martin Rizo emphasised the potential of Green River to become a key US domestic battery-grade lithium carbonate project. The KTS Li-Pro™ process is already operational in North America, including a commercial-scale plant in Arkansas.

Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX:RCE, OTC:RECEF) CEO James Graham joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio after the company obtained Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) approval to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of RECCE® 327 (R327) Gel for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). This trial aims to position R327 Gel as a broad-spectrum treatment for various bacterial skin infections, including complicated skin and soft tissue infections.

The trial is an open-label efficacy study and exploratory evaluation designed to assess the systemic bioavailability of single and/or multiple doses of the R327 topical gel applied to ABSSSI, including diabetic foot infections, necrotising fasciitis, and post-operative wound infections. The study seeks to gather critical data on the gel's effectiveness in treating a wide range of ABSSSI conditions.

Graham stated that obtaining HREC approval is a significant milestone for the company, highlighting their history of successful approvals and the dedication of their clinical and research teams. The company collaborates with Barwon Health to conduct the trial, enabling access to a diverse patient population and providing valuable insights into the gel's performance across various ABSSSI conditions.

Site initiation has begun, with the first patients expected to be dosed in the third quarter of the year. This study builds on previous clinical results from testing R327 on infected burn wounds and diabetic foot infections, under the TGA Special Access Scheme Category A initiative. The centralised study approach aims to address a broad range of unmet medical needs in the topical bacterial infection landscape.

ABSSSIs pose a significant challenge to the healthcare system, exacerbated by the rise of antimicrobial resistance, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Diabetic patients are at high risk of skin infections and poor outcomes from ABSSSI. The global ABSSSI treatment market was valued at US$7.3 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach US$26 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.5% from 2019 to 2032.

Faron Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr Juho Jalkanen discusses the company’s successful €30.7 million fundraise, which was oversubscribed, demonstrating strong investor confidence in the company's lead asset, the cancer candidate bexmarilimab.

Jalkanen said the fundraise, one of the biggest out of the Nordics, was " an amazing achievement" under current market conditions.

The lead asset is transitioning from early-stage to late-stage development, with positive phase II results showing an 80% response rate in relapsed refractory MDS, a condition with no current treatment options. These results catalysed the fundraise and validated the initial phase I outcomes.

Jalkanen said the funds will support the full phase II study and facilitate FDA feedback for approval.

Interactions with the FDA have been positive, and the company is now seeking clear instructions on the next steps required for approval after phase II. Future M&A possibilities are also being considered as the drug shows more promise, with numerous ongoing partner discussions.

"We'll have the next data cut ready for the ASH conference towards the end of the year, with the trial expected to complete by year-end and final readouts in Q1 next year," Jalkanen added.

Faron Pharmaceuticals has a strong outlook with upcoming regulatory designations, further FDA feedback, and additional data releases anticipated.

Southern Silver Exploration Corp President Larry Page joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share results from its updated Preliminary Economic Assessment on its Cerro Las Minitas project. The study is based on an updated Mineral Resourse with Indicated - 13.3Mt averaging 102g/t Ag, 0.07g/t Au, 0.17% Cu 1.3% Pb, and 3.1% Zn totaling 43.4Moz Ag, 32Koz Au, 49Mlb Cu, 374Mlb Pb and 921Mlb Zn; and Inferred - 23.4Mt averaging 111g/t Ag, 0.14g/t Au, 0.21% Cu, 1.1% Pb and 2.1% Zn totaling 83.4Moz Ag, 104koz Au, 111Mlb Cu, 582Mlb Pb and 1,106Mlb Zn.

Page told Proactive the project’s Robust Economics has a Base Case1: after-tax NPV5% of $501M and IRR of 21.2%with a 48-month payback. The company says this latest economic update of represents a new milestone in the ongoing evolution and development of the project which is the culmination of a number of smaller technical improvements, developed over the last 18 months, which together result in a significant increase in the value of the Cerro Las Minitas asset. This includes the addition of new mineral resources from the North Felsite zone as first reported in March 2023; the standardization of the metallurgical recoveries and charges across each of the deposits, including the addition of gold revenues into the project cash-flow; improvements in the mine scheduling and optimization both the Operating and Capital costs of the project.

Page feels infill drilling is needed, specifically on the portions of the deposit that fall within the Inferred category of classification will increase confidence in the Mineral Resource estimate, will further de-risk the project and potentially increase the value of the project. Page emphasised that the property is free from net smelter return royalties, making it more attractive for future deals. The focus is now on securing favourable agreements to maximise shareholder value.
