Proactive - Interviews for investors

The FTSE 100 made steady upward progress in early dealings helped by a big deal in the housebuilding sector and a cost-cut promise from Sainsbury’s.

London’s blue-chip index was up 10 points at 7,691 in early dealing with the focus on Barratt Developments' £2.52 billion takeover of fellow housebuilder Redrow.

The all-share deal will see Redrow shareholders receive 1.44 Barratt shares for every one they hold equating to a premium of around 27% to last night’s close.

Sainsbury’s meanwhile unveiled an eagerly awaited strategy update which includes plans for a £200 million share buyback and £1 billion of cost cuts over three years.

The food retailer said the "Next Level Sainsbury's" strategy would put food back at its heart, reset its competitive position and create a strong financial platform.

Elsewhere, Imperial Leather soap owner PZ Cussons tumbled on more problems in Nigeria while recent hot stock Helium One has taken advantage of its soaring share price to raise £4.7 million.

Futura Medical PLC CEO James Barder tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that 2023 was a pivotal year for the company as it rolled out its innovative sexual health product, Eroxon, designed to treat erectile dysfunction.

Barder noted the company reported significant achievements in 2023, including revenue of £3.1 million and a strategic expansion into the US market, bolstered by FDA approval and a partnership with leading OTC distributor Halen.

This expansion is underscored by successful launches in the UK and Belgium, capturing around a 20% market share. Barder highlighted Futura's virtual organizational model and risk-mitigated marketing strategy through partnerships focusing on advertising and promotional spend.

Looking ahead, Futura anticipates further global expansion with more than ten country launches expected by April, surpassing initial forecasts.

Evergold Corp's CEO, Kevin Keough, recently engaged in a conversation with Steve Darling from Proactive to share some exhilarating updates about the company's endeavors. Evergold has announced its initiation of geophysical work on their British Columbia DEM property, a move spurred by the promising drilling results they've recently obtained. The company's decision to expand its exploration efforts beyond the initial target zone hints at the potential presence of Porphyry systems in the vicinity.

During the interview, Keough underscored the significance of technical conferences like Roundup, which provided a valuable platform for their project to receive special recognition from government geologists in British Columbia. While these accolades may not have had an immediate impact on the short-term market, they've certainly thrust Evergold's property into the spotlight due to its exceptional high-grade and diverse mineral intercepts.

A key ongoing initiative for Evergold is the airborne magnetic survey, which is on the verge of completion. This survey is poised to play a crucial role in refining their drilling target definition, setting the stage for more precise and productive drilling activities. Keough expressed optimism regarding the forthcoming results, stating that they are anticipated either by the end of the current week or early next week.

In closing, the interview acknowledged the exciting developments within Evergold Corp and affirmed the company's commitment to closely monitoring its progress, signifying a strong sense of dedication to the pursuit of further successes in the field of mineral exploration.

Largo Physical Vanadium CEO Paul Vollant discussed the company's growth and future plans in an interview with Steve Darling from Proactive.

Largo Physical Vanadium (LPV) was established 18 months ago and has achieved significant milestones during that time. They have raised $30 million CAD, completed a reverse takeover, and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and OTCQX.

Sonoro Gold Corp CEO Kenneth MacLeod joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company conducting a private placement with the aim of raising up to 1,000,000 dollars. The funds raised through this offering will be used to support the ongoing development of the company's Cerro Caliche gold project in Sonora, Mexico.

MacLeod explained that the company is accelerating its drilling efforts at Cerro Caliche to make the most of the time available before the project receives approval for its Environmental Impact Statement. The upcoming drilling campaign is designed for expansion and will initially focus on the western mineralized zones where the company plans to commence mining operations.

Additionally, the drilling campaign will target the northern mineralized zones to potentially increase and upgrade the resource and the central mineralized zones to potentially increase the pit shell resource and reduce the strip ratio. This proactive approach aims to further advance the Cerro Caliche project and unlock its full potential.
