Proactive - Interviews for investors

Ionic Rare Earths Ltd (ASX:IXR) managing director Tim Harrison joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the production of a high-purity terbium oxide sample at its Belfast Pilot Plant. Harrison shared insights into this achievement, emphasising its role in advancing the company's position in the global market for heavy rare earth elements (REEs).

The terbium oxide sample of more than 2.8 kilograms with a purity exceeding 99.5%, showcases IonicRE's advanced separation and beneficiation processes. The development enhances its partnerships with key industry players Less Common Metals and Ford Technologies, and aligns with the broader goal of establishing a secure and sustainable supply chain in the Western world for critical REEs.

Terbium is essential for enhancing the performance of magnets used in wind turbines and electric vehicles.

Looking ahead, Ionic Technologies, a subsidiary of IonicRE, is on the cusp of starting continuous separated magnet REO production at its demonstration plant, marking a pivotal moment in meeting the burgeoning demand for REEs in the Western markets.

Cloud DX CEO Robert Kaul joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share some exciting news regarding the company's financial restructuring and growth trajectory. In a remarkable display of confidence in Cloud DX's future prospects, a group of investors has demonstrated their support by agreeing to convert approximately 4.2 million in total debt into shares well ahead of the maturity date.

This strategic move underscores the investors' belief in Cloud DX's potential and aligns with the company's objectives of strengthening its financial position and enhancing shareholder value. Specifically, certain convertible debenture holders have consented to convert an aggregate principal amount of 3,187,000 into shares of the company ahead of the maturity date. As part of this early conversion arrangement, Cloud DX has agreed to accelerate an aggregate of 180,585 of interest from the applicable maturity date associated with the convertible debentures being converted.

As per the terms of the agreement, the shareholders participating in the debt conversion will be issued an aggregate of 26,411,896 shares. These shares will be subject to voluntary pooling until the earlier of 24 months from the effective date or the first business day following a period during which the closing price for Cloud DX shares on the TSX Venture Exchange or another recognized Canadian exchange reaches or exceeds $0.50 for a duration of 10 consecutive trading days.

Kaul elaborated on the significance of this development, highlighting the company's recent successes in securing new business. With $2.8 million in new business already secured in 2024, Kaul noted that this figure does not even include three substantial deals with VHA Home Health, Sanrai, and the Ottawa Research Institute. When combined with the momentum from new sales in the United States and significant contracts secured in 2023, such as the agreement with Mohawk Medbuy, Cloud DX is experiencing rapid growth and expansion.

According to Kaul, these proactive investors recognize the company's promising trajectory towards achieving positive cash flow, accelerating expansion in the United States market, and the potential for an increase in share price. Their decision to convert debt to shares ahead of schedule signals their confidence in Cloud DX's ability to capitalize on emerging opportunities and deliver substantial value to its shareholders in the foreseeable future.

Abitibi Metals Corp CEO Jonathon Deluce joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting developments regarding the company's ongoing maiden drill program at the B26 Polymetallic Deposit. Deluce revealed that Abitibi Metals Corp has secured a third drill rig to bolster its exploration efforts significantly.

This additional drill rig is slated to arrive promptly, aligning seamlessly with the company's ambitious timeline. Deluce emphasized that this strategic move will ensure that Abitibi Metals Corp stays firmly on course to complete an extensive drilling campaign spanning over 10,000 meters across its three primary targets by the end of the quarter. This endeavor marks the initial phase of a fully funded 30,000-meter field season slated for 2024.

Deluce elaborated on the operational plan, indicating that the two existing drill rigs are diligently focused on the B26 Main Deposit and the Satellite West Target. Meanwhile, the newly acquired third rig will be swiftly deployed to advance exploration activities at the Company’s top priority target, the "Eastern Extension." This area holds significant promise, with historical drilling intercepting notable mineralization, including 2.32% Cu Eq over 89.5 meters, with a standout section featuring 3.98% CuEq over 22.5 meters (1274-13-117).

Once the Eastern Extension targets are thoroughly explored and assessed, Abitibi Metals Corp will pivot its attention to the next phase of its exploration strategy. This entails embarking on a 2,500-meter drill program at the Beschefer Gold Project. Deluce highlighted the immense potential of this project, citing historical intersections such as 55.63 g/t gold over 5.57 meters and 13.07 g/t gold over 8.75 meters.

In summary, with the addition of the third drill rig and a strategic focus on key exploration targets, Abitibi Metals Corp is poised for an exciting period of growth and discovery in its pursuit of unlocking the full potential of its mineral assets.

Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Ltd (LSE:CORD) Chairman of Digital Infrastructure Steven Marshall and Chief Financial Officer Mark Tiner joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide some insight on the company’s three-year anniversary since listing on the London Stock Market.

The company has made significant strides, raising just shy of a billion dollars from investors. The company has expanded its portfolio by acquiring substantial assets in the digital infrastructure sector, including tower businesses in the Czech Republic and Poland, the second-largest fiber developer in Ireland, and an interconnect Data Center in Manhattan. These assets boast long-term contracts with blue-chip clients and inflation-protected escalation clauses.

Financially, the company has shown robust growth, with revenue up 8.2% to over 217 million across its portfolio for the first three quarters up to December 31. EBITDA increased by 6.4% to over 99 million pounds. The company has also seen a positive progression in its dividend cover, with adjusted funds from operations increasing to 1.6 times the annual dividend target. Although there has been a slight increase in finance costs, the company's net leverage remains competitive at 4.7 times EBITDA, with net debt over gross asset value at 14.6%, providing substantial headroom under the 50% cap outlined in the company's prospectus.

The success of Cordiant Digital Infrastructure can be attributed to its core strategy of "buy, build, and grow". This involves acquiring high-quality assets, enhancing them through strategic investments, and expanding customer base and services offered. The company has successfully integrated acquisitions and embarked on significant building projects, such as digital audio broadband networks, edge data facilities, and a proposed state-of-the-art data center in the Czech Republic. This strategy has driven the company's growth and success in the digital infrastructure sector.
