Proactive - Interviews for investors

Cavitation Technologies CEO Neil Voloshin joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share updates about the company's advanced fluid processing technologies with Steve Darling from Proactive.

Established in 2008 and publicly traded under the symbol CVAT, Cavitation Technologies specializes in enhancing the efficiency of fluid processing applications without altering existing processes. The company's technology operates by modifying the physical or molecular structure of fluids, facilitating rapid chemical reactions, and reducing the need for chemicals in various applications.

Voloshin explained that the core technology involves fluid passing through a cylinder where energy is generated, leading to the formation of nanoparticles or micro-vapor bubbles. This innovative process can handle fluid capacities ranging from 10 to 500 gallons per minute, offering versatile applications in water remediation, agriculture, vegetable oil refining, and alcoholic beverages.

Highlighting recent achievements, Voloshin mentioned a three-year renewal agreement with Desmet Ballestra from Belgium, which is expected to generate approximately $1 million in revenue for the year. He also noted that Cavitation Technologies operates with fixed annual costs of $600,000 and enjoys high gross margins of 80-85%.

Looking ahead to 2024, Voloshin expressed optimism about significant advancements in water remediation for fracking, produced water treatment, and agriculture. The company is actively engaged with government agencies and universities, focusing on developing more efficient processes that contribute to environmental sustainability. Cavitation Technologies aims to continue its trajectory of innovation and growth in the fluid processing industry.

The FTSE 100 opened higher continuing the positive momentum that crept back towards the end of yesterday's session.

Precious metals miner Fresnillo again is top of the risers, followed by a selection of miners, banks and other financials.

Some internet-related stocks are also on the blue-chip leaderboard, including Auto Trader and Rightmove.

But Ocado Group headed in the opposite direction after it said chair Rick Haythorn-thwaite is stepping down after being appointed to the same role at NatWest.

Finally, DS Smith said it has reached a new agreement with South African paper and packaging group Mondi after a previous offer was trumped by US rival International Paper.

CleanTech Lithium PLC CEO Aldo Boitano tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has updated its applications for Special Lithium Operating Contracts for its Laguna Verde and Francisco projects in Chile.

This action followed an announcement by the Chilean government regarding the process and criteria for awarding lithium extraction rights to private entities. This necessitated adjustments to the current rules, prompting CleanTech Lithium to resubmit applications for the projects.

Boitano highlighted a productive meeting with Chile's mining ministry, noting the company's compliance with the necessary criteria, including community engagement and detailed project planning.

Despite the resubmission, Boitano assured that the project timeline remains unaffected, with indigenous consultations and contract details being the next steps. He outlined key milestones for investors in 2024, including government acknowledgment of interest in April and May, potential indigenous consultations in June, and the hopeful acceleration of the awarding process.

Gaming Realms PLC (AIM:GMR, OTCQX:PSDMF) CEO Mark Segal discusses the company's record-breaking results for 2023 in an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion.

The firm witnessed a 26% increase in top-line revenue, reaching £23 million, predominantly fuelled by a 33% growth in its content licensing business, which accounted for £19 million. This expansion was driven by the company's entry into new markets and the introduction of 44 new partners over the year, alongside the launch of innovative games.

Gaming Realms' Slingo portfolio led the charge, and it licensed games such as a Tetris-themed game and Space Invaders, leveraging classic video game IPs. Its portfolio of proprietary games expanded to 75, further diversifying its offering.

The company also marked its presence in new territories, including West Virginia, Sweden, Greece, and notably Portugal, where it launched in the last quarter of the previous year with positive results. The US emerged as its top market, showing growth of 22%, with the company live in several states and plans to expand into West Virginia.

Gaming Realms experienced a significant increase in unique users, exceeding 5 million, with a notable 33% rise in licensing revenue, much of which came from existing partners at the start of 2023. The UK and Canada were highlighted as key markets, with substantial growth observed, particularly in Canada's newly regulated Ontario market and Italy.

Looking forward, Segal remains optimistic about 2024, with licensing income already up by 20% in the first two months. The momentum gained since 2019, transitioning from a loss in that year to over £10 million in adjusted EBITDA in 2023, is expected to continue, driven by the compounding effect of new partnerships.

Thor Explorations Ltd president and CEO Segun Lawson tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has increased its position in southeast Senegal through the acquisition of interests in two licences. This move capitalises on the company's progress in advancing the grassroots Douta gold project to over 1.7 million ounces of gold in global resources, despite a delayed preliminary feasibility study due to extensive processing flow sheet work.

Lawson said the licence acquisitions, especially the one adjacent to Thor's existing resources, provide a low-cost entry for significant exploration upside. The terms of the main agreement for the Douta West licence include a total consideration of $120,000, granting the original licence holder a free carry until the completion of a PFS, after which they can choose to fund or dilute. The Senegalese government retains a 10% free carry, leaving Thor with an 80% interest.

Simultaneously, Thor is advancing towards the preliminary feasibility study for Douta and initiating exploration activities on the new licences, expecting drill results throughout the current quarter. This includes extending drilling programmes and analysing soil and termite samples to potentially expand the total resource base.

In Nigeria, exploration efforts continue at the Segilola mine to extend the life of mine, alongside reaffirming production guidance for the year.

Lawson said Thor is focused on deleveraging, strengthening its balance sheet, and achieving a strong free cash flow position. This year's strategic emphasis is on exploring satellite deposits and deeper drilling beneath the Segilola pit, with significant news flow anticipated across its Senegalese and Nigerian projects in the upcoming quarter.

ETC Group CEO Tim Bevan discusses the recent volatility in Bitcoin prices, attributing it to macroeconomic factors and specific market events.

In an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion, Bevan noted the unexpected strength in the US economy indicated by recent jobs data, which has led to revised expectations for interest rate cuts, impacting risk assets like Bitcoin. The movement of $2 billion worth of confiscated Bitcoin related to the Silk Road case onto a Coinbase account by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has also contributed to the market's instability. Despite these short-term drivers, Bevan views the fluctuations as part of Bitcoin's usual trading range.

Regarding the likelihood of an Ethereum ETF in the US, Bevan indicated a negative shift, citing the SEC's increased efforts to classify Ethereum as a security. This classification, driven by interactions with the Ethereum Foundation and the transition to proof of stake, marks a significant regulatory change and dampens the immediate prospects for an Ethereum ETF. Nonetheless, Bevan remains hopeful for developments later in the year.

Bevan also commented on the London Stock Exchange's (LSE) decision to launch a segment for crypto ETPs, viewing it as a positive step for market legitimization. However, he critiqued the exclusion of retail investors from this segment, suggesting it could limit market liquidity and appeal.

Lastly, Bevan discussed the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, a reduction in the reward for mining Bitcoin, anticipated around 20 April. He stressed that while the halving itself may not instantly affect prices, its long-term impact on supply could be significant.
