Proactive - Interviews for investors

ARway.ai Chief Product Officer Shadnam Khan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil the successful deployment of an innovative AR navigation system within the 5G campus network built by Deutsche Telekom AG at the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences campus in Germany.

The fully funded partnership with the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences and its prestigious institute ifii (Institute for Innovation and Information Management), originally announced in October 2023, revolutionizes the way faculty and visitors experience the university campus. It provides a seamless and intuitive AR experience and AR-powered navigation.

As part of their 2024 roadmap, the university will implement, evaluate, and publish research on over 20 different use cases with ARway's technology, highlighting the depth of this collaboration.

Khan emphasized that a significant number of master's students are conducting their theses on AR, leveraging the new system for their research. This academic involvement underscores the system's role not only as a navigational tool but also as a platform for academic and technological exploration.

The company anticipates that this project will set new standards for digital campus experiences and open new pathways for the application of AR and 5G technologies in various sectors.

The FTSE 100 slipped in early trading, after having briefly climbed above its record closing price during Tuesday’s dealings.

Among companies, an albeit quiet day saw Wizz Air gaining after announcing a jump in passenger numbers for March and the reopening of some routes to Israel.

FTSE 250 peer Hilton Food Group also climbed after reporting higher sales and profit for the year, on the back of what it highlighted as ‘resilient’ demand in Europe.

Topps Tiles shares faced a drop early on though after the retailer unveiled a slump in first-half sales on continued soft demand in the domestic repair sector.

And finally, Nationwide made headlines after its adverts featuring Dominic West were banned in the UK over misleading claims the lender was not closing branches.

Lake Resources NL (ASX:LKE) CEO and managing director David Dickson sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the progress of the Kachi Lithium Project in Argentina's renowned lithium triangle. The project aims to leverage innovative ion exchange extraction technology to produce high-grade lithium carbonate, essential for the burgeoning battery market.

Lake Resources is raising $20 million in funding to advance the project towards production, with the support of a definitive feasibility study completed in December 2023.

The project has garnered backing from the United Kingdom's Export Credit Agency (UKEF) and Canada's Export Development Canada (EDC), signalling strong international confidence in its potential. This support underscores Kachi's robust investment case, positioning it as a significant player in addressing the projected global lithium deficit.

Kachi has a resource of 10.6 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) and Lake plans to produce 25,000 tonnes per annum in Phase 1 of its strategy.

Intra Energy Corporation Ltd (ASX:IEC) managing director Ben Dunn joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the discovery of further significant lithium anomalies at the Maggie Hays Hill Project in Western Australia. Dunn highlights the identification of two large-scale lithium targets within the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt.

Spanning 2,500 metres by 300 metres and 1,300 metres by 300 metres, these targets have shown high lithium oxide values, peaking at 248ppm. Additionally, they exhibit strong indications of caesium and tantalum, essential for pegmatite exploration in spodumene-rich zones.

Intra Energy is set to start an RC drilling program in the June quarter, pending necessary heritage and regulatory consents. The company is finalising a heritage survey with the Ngadju Native Title Aboriginal Corporation to establish drilling sites.

Carnavale Resources Ltd (ASX:CAV) CEO Humphrey Hale sits down with Jonarthan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the significant strides being made at its Kookynie Gold Project, particularly at the Tiptoe and Champion South prospects.

The company has reported new high-grade gold findings at Tiptoe that align with the bonanza-style mineralisation at McTavish East. Hale emphasises the potential of these results and those at Champion, which provide upside ahead of the company’s maiden resource estimate.

With a strategy that includes open cut and underground mining, leveraging an existing third-party processing facility, Carnavale is well-positioned for future development.

Exploration at Kookynie continues, targeting high-grade structural gold prospects, with anticipation building around the mineral resource estimate and mining study evaluation, which is expected to reveal further insights into the project's viability and potential.

Joining Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson in the studio is Gold Mountain Executive Director David Evans who explains the mineral exploration company’s projects in Brazil and Papua New Guinea (PNG). These projects target a spectrum of metals including rare earth elements (REE), lithium, nickel, copper, and gold.

Evans explains that diversification remains central to Gold Mountain's strategy, highlighting the company's 75% stake in various licenses across the eastern Brazilian lithium belt, notably in Salinas, Minas Gerais. This region is ripe for exploration of REE, copper, and lithium.

In Brazil, recent findings have indicated rocks with potential for REE, spearheading the exploration initiatives. Evans delves into the company’s activities in the area, including systematic exploration and analysis to assess the economic viability of these resources.

Turning to PNG, the focus is on the Wabag Project, spanning around 950 km² within the Papuan Mobile belt, known for its copper-gold prospects.

Gold Mountain has sought an exploration license for the Green River area, aiming to probe high-grade copper-gold and lead-zinc occurrences, alongside potential porphyry-style mineralisation.

Nevada Lithium CEO Stephen Rentschler joined Steve Darling from Proactive talk about the company's efforts to educate stakeholders about the lithium industry and its operations. Rentschler highlighted his engagements at key industry events, emphasizing the growing interest in lithium despite past price volatility.

He discussed the novelty of the lithium industry and the widespread lack of understanding about different types of lithium deposits, such as brines, hard rocks, and sedimentary deposits. Nevada Lithium aims to educate investors about these differences and the supply-demand dynamics crucial for industry growth.

Recent drill results from the Bonnie Claire project have revealed high-grade lithium mineralization, indicating significant potential for Nevada Lithium. However, Rentschler noted that market response has been muted, possibly due to the focus on lithium spot price fluctuations.

He also discussed the impact of recent major industry and governmental developments, such as the U.S. government's construction loan for Sacra Pass and a joint venture between Mitsubishi and a Canadian lithium producer, on investor sentiment and the market.

Rentschler believes the lithium industry is at a tipping point, with a mismatch between supply and demand poised to drive future price increases and enhance the value of lithium projects. He emphasized Nevada's strategic position and the Bonnie Claire project's significant resources and grade improvements, as well as the state's support for lithium extraction.

His goal is to bridge the knowledge gap among investors and stakeholders, providing clarity on the lithium market's trajectory and Nevada Lithium's role within it.
