Proactive - Interviews for investors

Metals One PLC (AIM:MET1) CEO Jonathan Owen joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with an update on the company's strategy for its Black Schist projects in Finland, aiming for economic extraction of assets.

The goal is to develop a 200 million-tonne resource over the next 24 to 36 months, targeting a mine life of 20 years with an annual production of 20 million tonnes. Currently, Metals One has identified 20 million tonnes at one site (R1) and 16 to 24 million tonnes at another (P5), both offering significant expansion opportunities. The company is also exploring regionally, having recently pegged new ground for further development.

Recent drilling programs have yielded encouraging results, including notable intersections of mineralized black schist, extending the mineralization further east. This has led to the acquisition of additional ground for future exploration. Metals One aims to quickly elevate the P5 target from an exploration target to a mineral resource, leveraging unassayed historical drill cores to potentially increase the resource size without additional drilling.

The company has also identified new targets for exploration, with the K1 site scheduled for drilling in the coming months.

The long-term vision is to become a supplier of critical metals for Europe's green transition, addressing the EU's structural deficit in the supply of critical minerals for battery production and other green technologies.

Plexus Holdings PLC (AIM:POS) CEO Ben van Bilderbeek joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of a new replacement tubing hanger neck seal product, aimed at enhancing the maintenance capabilities of surface wellhead systems to a higher leak-proof standard.

This technology, developed for a specific customer through a sponsored R&D project faced leakage issues between the xmas tree and the wellhead, allows for upgrading wellhead and tubing hanger standards to reduce future maintenance and leak-related needs.

Utilizing Plexus' proprietary HG Seal technology, which is based on the proven scientific principles of Hertzian Stress Theory, the neck seal provides a permanent solution to seal leaks and is designed to be adaptable for both Plexus' products and those of conventional wellhead competitors. The innovation seeks to extend the operational field-life of wellheads by ensuring a stable sealing environment that prevents leakage without the need for disassembly and potential shut-ins.

Van Bilderbeek highlighted the company's strategy to market this technology both organically and potentially in the future by way of licensing to other wellhead companies, aiming to address the widespread need for maintenance upgrades in the oil and gas industry, particularly for gas surface applications where conventional injected sealants are less effective and are known to fail over time.

Cobre Ltd (ASX:CBE) CEO Adam Wooldridge joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with an update on the company's Ngami Copper Project (NCP) in Botswana's Kalahari Copper Belt following the conclusion of the first phase of hydrogeological testing.

The project has an exploration target exceeding 100 million tonnes at 0.5% copper, addressing challenges such as cover thickness, steep dip, and grade. Wooldridge explained that the in-situ recovery method offers a low operational and capital expenditure solution while being environmentally friendly, potentially producing green copper cathode on-site, which could revolutionize operations on the Kalahari Copper Belt and benefit local communities.

The process requires mineralization to be leachable, a correct water table depth, and appropriate hydrological controls, including a natural fracture network. Cobre has confirmed the project's feasibility for in-situ recovery through extensive testing, including recent well tests that demonstrated the ability to inject into target fractures, identify seals and intersect significant mineralization depth.

For the remainder of the year, Wooldridge said Cobre plans to pursue a three-tier strategy: big-picture exploration for tier-one deposits in collaboration with BHP, advancing high-grade targets for short-term gains, and progressing the in-situ recovery process towards a scoping study. This approach includes hydrological, engineering, and economic studies, metallurgical tests, resource drilling, and pilot testing, aiming to transform the project and the company's prospects significantly.

Aclara Resources Chief Executive Officer Ramon Barua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting news about the company's recent developments in Chile and Brazil. Aclara recently hosted a delegation from the State of Goiás, Brazil, at its pilot plant in Concepción, Chile. The purpose of the visit was to showcase the environmentally sustainable features of Aclara's patented technology, which is being implemented at the pilot plant.

This pilot plant will play a crucial role in the Carina Module project located in Goiás, Brazil. Aclara had previously presented the Carina Module project to the Governor and senior officials of the state of Goiás in October. The piloting of the Carina Module's ionic clays commenced in December 2023 and is expected to be completed by the end of February 2024.

During this piloting phase, Aclara aims to produce between 10-15 kilograms of heavy rare earth mixed carbonates. These products will be instrumental in advancing commercial discussions with potential separators, stakeholders in the rare earths value chain, and original equipment manufacturers.

Barua also shared with Proctive the company has announced the second tranche of the earn-in agreement has been fulfilled, thus securing 100% ownership of the 8,490 hectares of mining rights comprising the Carina Module. On November 6, 2023, the Company had previously executed the first tranche of the earn-in agreement securing an initial 51% ownership interest.

TNR Gold Corp (TSX-V:TNR, OTC:TRRXF) Executive Chairman, Kirill Klip, provided an extensive update on the company's strategic advancements and outlook in an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion.

Klip said the company has actively engaged in its normal course issuer bid, repurchasing 5.6 million shares towards a target of 9.5 million, citing its undervaluation in the market.

Following the sale of a portion of its royalty portfolio last year, he also noted that TNR Gold has eliminated its debt and is now focusing on investing in its shares.

Klip also highlighted the Mariana Lithium Project, which is expected to start commercial production in 2024, potentially making TNR a cash-generating royalty company.

The company's involvement in McEwen Mining's Los Azules Copper Project and its 0.4% net smelter return royalty was discussed, noting the project's significant potential and the positive political climate in Argentina under a pro-business government.

Additionally, Klip mentioned TNR Gold's Royalty on the Batidero I and II Properties of the Josemaria Project advanced by Lundin Mining, and the Shotgun Gold Project, emphasising the company's royalty business model that avoids diluting shareholder value through capital raises for project development.

Looking ahead to 2024, Klip teased potential positive news regarding the expansion of the company's royalty portfolio and the anticipated production start at Mariana Lithium, reinforcing TNR Gold's strategic position in critical material supply chains and green energy metals.
