Proactive - Interviews for investors

LungLife AI CEO Paul Pagano joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discussed the groundbreaking lung cancer detection technology developed by the company during an interview with Steve Darling from Proactive. LungLife AI is dedicated to addressing the critical issue of early detection in lung cancer, which remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Dr. Pagano highlighted the sobering statistic that 80% of lung cancer cases are detected too late, contributing to the high mortality rate associated with this disease.

The company's lung lb test, which has recently undergone successful validation, is poised to revolutionize the early detection of lung cancer by addressing the challenge of evaluating small nodules under 15 millimeters in size.

Unlike existing methods, the lung lb test takes a unique approach by examining circulating genetically abnormal cells in the blood. This innovative approach offers a complementary and highly sensitive means of detecting lung cancer, enhancing the chances of early intervention and improved patient prognosis.

Dr. Pagano discussed the competitive landscape, emphasizing LungLife AI's patented methods and proprietary technologies that set their approach apart in the field of lung cancer detection.

Looking ahead, LungLife AI plans a methodical introduction of the lung lb test through an early access program, ensuring a seamless transition into healthcare settings. The next six to twelve months will involve a commercial proof of concept, with the company collaborating with hospital sites and working towards securing coverage from insurance providers.

The potential life-saving impact of LungLife AI's technology and their strategic approach to making it accessible to patients and healthcare providers mark a significant contribution to advancing the field of lung cancer detection.

Proactive Investors' crypto expert William Farrington speaks to Thomas Warner at the end of a historic week for Bitcoin.

Farrington explains that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally approved 11 Bitcoin spot ETFs from prominent asset managers like Blackrock, Grayscale, Ark Invest, and VanEck. The decision allows US investors direct access to Bitcoin investments for the first time, a significant milestone given the size of the U.S. market compared to previous ETFs in Canada and Germany.

Grayscale's Bitcoin ETF, in particular, set a new record in trading volumes, reaching $2.3 billion on its first day. Despite this influx, the Bitcoin price didn't soar as expected. It experienced a dip, falling to around $45,600, down from the early week high of $49,000. Farrington suggests that the moves were suggestive of a 'sell the news' situation, where the anticipation of the ETFs had already been factored into Bitcoin’s price.

Looking ahead, the focus is on the trading volumes of these new ETFs and their potential impact on Bitcoin's spot price. Experts predict significant inflows into these ETFs, possibly reaching $50 billion in the next 12 months.

Cordoba Minerals CEO Sarah Armstrong-Montoya joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's significant milestones as the company gas achieved remarkable progress, with a particular focus on the Alacran project.

One of the standout achievements is the completion of a feasibility study for the Alacran project, revealing impressive financial metrics. The project boasts a $360 million after-tax Net Present Value (NPV) at an 8% discount rate, a robust 23.8% Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and a rapid three-year payback period. This underscores the project's economic viability and attractiveness to investors.

The Alacran project is designed as a conventional open-pit mine with a substantial 14.2-year lifespan. It is expected to yield annual copper production at 75%, gold at 22%, and a 3% silver credit, with low cash costs, making it a valuable addition to Cordoba Minerals' portfolio.

In terms of permitting and financing, Cordoba Minerals has made significant strides. The company has filed the necessary permits with the Colombian government, a crucial step in advancing the project. Additionally, they have secured a $40 million tranche from its partners, enhancing their financial stability and capacity to move forward with the project.

Detailed engineering and community-focused initiatives are also on the company's agenda for 2024, highlighting their commitment to responsible and sustainable mining practices. These efforts underscore Cordoba Minerals' dedication to operating in harmony with local communities and the environment.

The Alacran Project, positioned to become one of the major copper mines in Colombia, aligns with the growing recognition of the importance of copper in the new electrification and transitional energy era. As the world shifts toward cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, the demand for copper is expected to soar, making projects like Alacran even more strategically significant.

Cordoba Minerals' achievements and strategic positioning highlight their potential to become a key player in the copper mining industry, contributing to the global transition toward cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions.

Awalé Resources Ltd (TSX-V:ARIC) CEO Andrew Chubb speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the junior exploration company kicked off 2024 by announcing a new gold-copper discovery at the BBM Target within the Odienné Project in Côte d'Ivoire.

The mineral exploration company said BBM is a significant new greenfield discovery and has excellent scope for rapid expansion.

Chubb gives an overview of progress at BBM and also discusses advancements at another target, Charger, where a new structural model led to successful drilling and deeper results, including 32 meters at 1.5 grammes per tonne. This model potentially indicates the main structural feeder to the system, enhancing Charger's volume prospects.

Awale Resources anticipates more promising outcomes as they continue drilling into 2024. The company is also exploring Lando, a prospect within the same structural corridor as BBM, promising follow-up drilling based on initial results.

Chubb expressed optimism for 2024, citing three discoveries in 2023 and significant corporate restructuring, including recapitalisation and management changes. These developments, he believes, position Awale Resources for a successful year ahead.

Digitalbox PLC (AIM:DBOX) CEO James Carter speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the the digital media company released a trading update for calendar year 2023, a year Carter acknowledges was "turbulent and challenging."

Carter reveals the four major hurdles he believes the business faced last year: major platforms like Meta and Alphabet reducing traffic to publisher websites, a tough UK economy impacting the advertising market, an algorithm issue that lowered traffic on their leading brand, and an unearned flag for dangerous content related to a Jeffrey Dahmer series on Netflix.

Despite these challenges, Carter reports that 2023 ended in line with expectations. Notably, DigitalBox overcame the Google issue, leading to a significant increase in sessions on Entertainment Daily. The ad market showed improvement towards the end of the year, with a less pronounced seasonal decline in December compared to the previous year. The first weeks of 2024 also witnessed improved app performance year on year.

Carter also emphasises DigitalBox's successful strategy in acquiring assets, like TV Guide and Social Chain, which have been performing well. These acquisitions, alongside the organic expansion of the business, particularly in streaming content through TV Guide, position DigitalBox for a stronger 2024.

The full year report, due at the end of March, is expected to provide more detailed insights. Carter concluded by reiterating the company's focus on exploring new acquisition opportunities and expanding its presence in the entertainment sector.

VettaFi Head of Energy Research Stacey Morris speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about recent developments in the midstream sector of the energy industry, before looking to the future.

Morris says that in 2023, despite a broader challenging environment in the energy market, the midstream sector performed well with the Alerian Energy Dividend ETF index rising by 12.8%, in contrast to other benchmarks. This success was attributed to the sector's ability to generate substantial free cash flow and reward investors through dividends and buybacks.

Morris anticipates a similar trend in 2024, with midstream companies continuing to focus on free cash flow and investor returns. She highlighted the defensive nature of these investments, noting their reasonable returns and an attractive yield of about 6.9%.

Regarding oil prices, Morris predicts a range-bound scenario for 2024, with US oil prices likely hovering around $70 to $80 per barrel. This forecast aligns with the median market consensus. The market appears amply supplied, with OPEC+ playing a key role in maintaining price stability. Geopolitical risks remain a potential driver for price fluctuations.

Morris also emphasises the midstream sector's potential for dividend growth, which is particularly appealing to investors seeking income independent of fluctuating interest rates. She cited recent dividend increases and stock buybacks by major companies in the index as indicators of the sector's robust health and investor-friendly approach.

Globe Metals & Mining Ltd (ASX:GBE) Chief Operating Officer Paul Smith speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about progress at the company's niobium project in Malawi.

Smith highlights niobium's role as a strategic metal, used for enhancing steel strength as well as in the development of new forms of lithium-ion batteries and other uses besides. Currently, the majority of niobium production comes from Brazil, but Globe Metals & Mining is shifting focus to a high-value pentoxide product, which he says should command a premium in the market.

Smith, who only joined the company in recent days, says he was drawn to the project's uniqueness, being potentially the first new niobium mine development in 50 years. The project, already past initial feasibility, is advancing with innovative extraction methodologies, including a novel chlorination process for niobium pentoxide, promising significant economic benefits.

For the coming year, Smith outlines objectives including advancing the chlorination process through metallurgical test work and piloting a refinery plant. This phase aims to finalise design for capital raising and subsequent construction of the mine and refinery. Emphasising the project's benefit for Southern Africa, particularly Malawi, Smith expressed pride in partnering with the Malawian government, as mining is a relatively new sector in the country.

Good morning from London, where the FTSE 100 is up by around about 1% this morning, regaining its composure after slumping to three-week lows just yesterday.

The index has had a pretty lacklustre start to the year and today’s biggest casualty by far is Burberry, the share price is down nearly 10% after they admitted their results this year will come in below their own expectations against what CEO Jonathan Akeroyd calls a “backdrop of slowing luxury demand.”

The strongest performers this morning are a mixture of housebuilders and mining companies and its Endeavour Mining that’s top of the pile in terms of percentage gain. They’ve had a truly horrendous start to the year being forced to part ways with their CEO but today may be the day that the bleeding finally stops – they’re up around 3% on the day.

Zooming out slightly and some fresh figures from the ONS show that the UK economy continues to stubbornly refuse to enter recession and later today in the US, some of the big beasts of the US banking world will be kicking off the earnings season with Bank of America, JPMorgan and Citigroup among those reporting.

Here in London we’ll have plenty of interviews with some big names from the small cap space so look forward to those, and have a great end to the week.
