Proactive - Interviews for investors

Greatland Gold PLC managing director Shaun Day discusses the impact of high gold prices on the economics and potential of the company's projects in an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion.

Day highlighted that the high gold price significantly boosts the value of Greatland Gold's projects, especially Havieron, which is noted for producing superior economic returns throughout various market cycles. With gold trading near record highs and a substantial resource base of 8.4 million ounces, the company is focused on transitioning more resources into reserves, enhancing their value under the current pricing conditions.

Additionally, Day pointed out the concurrent strong performance in copper prices, which also benefits Greatland Gold, given their assets include about 20% copper.

Looking ahead, he expressed optimism about the gold market, citing upcoming interest rate cuts and ongoing geopolitical risks as factors likely to support higher gold prices. This environment, he believes, will be particularly beneficial for gold companies, including Greatland Gold, which is well-positioned to leverage its significant gold inventory and favourable Australian operating conditions to enhance company valuations, especially in a strong USD and weak AUD scenario.

Artemis Resources Ltd (ASX:ARV, AIM:ARV, OTCQB:ARTTF) executive director George Ventouras tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that a review of the company's Karratha Gold Precinct coincides perfectly with the recent rally in the gold price to record levels.

The Karratha Gold Precinct in the West Pilbara region includes the discovery of a significant resource at the Carlow tenement, which boasts over 700,000-ounce equivalents of high-grade gold. Ventouras highlighted the identification of additional prospects that could either extend the Carlow tenement or represent separate mineralized events.

Ventouras emphasized the strategic timing of these developments, coinciding with high gold prices and a weaker Australian dollar, which benefits local explorers like Artemis. The company is currently focusing on gold, despite previous successes in lithium exploration, citing the proximity of their projects to other major deposits and the geological potential of the West Pilbara area.

Upcoming plans include seeking heritage clearances for further drilling at the Lulu Creek prospect and conducting ground reconnaissance on other prospects.

Ventouras expressed optimism about the sustained high gold prices and the potential for increasing company valuations due to the strategic location and prospective nature of the company's projects.

The Tech Megatrend ETF stands out for its global footprint, encompassing a diverse technology benchmark with approximately 60% exposure to the US market and significant allocations to Japan, China, and Europe. Unlike the NASDAQ, which is heavily concentrated in a few large tech companies, the GinsGlobal Index Fund adopts an equally weighted approach across its 120 holdings, with no single holding typically exceeding 2%.

Ginsberg underscored the fund's favorable price-to-earnings ratio, currently hovering around 18 times, indicating that its stocks are not overvalued compared to certain market segments. He also highlighted the potential for expansion beyond mega-cap companies, buoyed by positive economic indicators in the US and the possibility of lower interest rates, which could bode well for mid and small-cap stocks.

Regarding acquisition trends, Ginsberg noted the active involvement of both large and mid-sized companies in mergers and acquisitions, with mid-sized firms representing attractive targets that do not trigger antitrust concerns. He also discussed the potential impact of a strong dollar and the US government's initiatives aimed at reducing reliance on foreign technology, which could bolster North America's competitiveness and stimulate onshoring trends.

In conclusion, Ginsberg's insights shed light on the dynamic landscape of the technology sector and the strategic positioning of the Tech Megatrend ETF within it. As the fund continues to navigate market trends and capitalize on emerging opportunities, investors can expect to benefit from its diversified portfolio and forward-looking investment approach.

Labyrinth Resources Ltd (ASX:LRL) CEO Jennifer Neild, highlights the company’s current operational strategy and future prospects in an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion.

ASX-listed Labyrinth Resources manages two mining assets: the Labyrinth mine in Canada and the Comet Vale mine in Western Australia. The Canadian site, notable for its 500,000-ounce gold resource at an average of five grammes per tonne, is being sold, which will add approximately A$5.3 million (US$3.5 million) to the company’s finances. This sale will enable further exploration at Comet Vale, which ceased mining in 2020 but shows promise for substantial gold deposits, indicated by previous exploration results and historical mining activity.

The sale proceeds will fund exploration activities aimed at expanding and extending the known resources at Comet Vale, particularly given the high gold prices and the favourable exchange rate impacting Australian dollars.

Neild also discussed the company's transition from mining to exploration, focusing on potential new sites and high-grade ore opportunities in both open-pit and underground contexts.

Investors can expect more consistent news flow in the future, with immediate updates likely as the sale concludes and exploration initiatives commence. Neild emphasised the geological potential of the area, citing recent assessments and historical data supporting the likelihood of significant gold presence.

Gold Terra Resources Chairman and CEO Gerald Panneton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil exciting developments regarding the company's deep drill hole targeting the Campbell Shear beneath the Con Mine workings. The drill hole, initiated in early February, has yielded significant results, including the intersection of the Con Shear from 1366 to 1405 meters—a secondary shear structure—along with new gold mineralization discoveries.

Panneton provided insights into the findings, highlighting the discovery of gold mineralization reaching up to 13.90 g/t Au over a span of 0.60 meters in the hanging wall granite host of the Con shear at multiple depths along the drill hole. Notably, the Con Shear intersection is characterized by intense silicification of mafic volcanic and intermediate intrusive rocks, with a prominent quartz vein present along the intermediate intrusive-mafic volcanic contact. Additionally, numerous quartz veins with pyrite mineralization were observed within the strongly silicified and sheared zone, indicative of significant mineralization potential.

The intermittent yet robust shearing observed over the interval underscores the geological complexity and mineralization potential of the area. Building on these promising results, the 2024 deep drilling program aims to expand upon the initial Mineral Resource Estimate from September 2022, which identified 109,000 Indicated ounces of contained gold and 432,000 Inferred ounces of contained gold between surface and a depth of 400 meters below surface along a 2-kilometer corridor of the Campbell Shear.

With these latest discoveries, Gold Terra Resources is poised to unlock further value and potential within its extensive exploration portfolio. The company's commitment to advancing its exploration initiatives and maximizing shareholder value is evident in its proactive approach to exploration and resource expansion. As Gold Terra Resources continues to explore and develop its projects, stakeholders can look forward to further updates and advancements in the company's quest to uncover the full potential of its mineral assets.
