Proactive - Interviews for investors

Aclara Resources Chief Operating Officer Barry Murphy joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share significant news that the company has successfully received a 25-tonne shipment of ionic clays extracted from its Carina Module deposit in Brazil, which has been transported to its fully-owned pilot plant facility in Chile. Murphy provided details on the company's plans for the pilot operation and what they aim to achieve during this crucial phase. According to Murphy, the primary objective of the piloting operation is to assess the compatibility of Aclara's patented Circular Mineral Harvesting technology with the Carina Module ionic clays on a semi-industrial scale.

This technology is designed to produce a premium heavy rare earths carbonate product. The company also intends to initiate discussions with potential separators and other commercial stakeholders to explore future partnerships or opportunities in the rare earths market. During the piloting campaign, Aclara Resources will also evaluate any process flowsheet modifications that may be required, as well as revalidate the Circular Mineral Harvesting methodology. One notable aspect of this methodology is its sustainability, with approximately 95% of the water and 99% of the primary reagent used in the extraction process being recycled.

This focus on sustainable practices aligns with the growing global emphasis on responsible and environmentally friendly resource extraction. Overall, Aclara Resources is taking important steps to advance its rare earths project and move closer to commercial production. The successful piloting operation will be a significant milestone in their journey to become a key player in the rare earths industry.

EGR Exploration Limited CEO Daniel Rodriguez joined Steve Darling from Proactive and shared important news that the company has entered into an agreement with Harvest Gold, allowing Harvest Gold to acquire 100% of EGR's Urban Barry property in the James Bay/Abitibi region of Quebec. Rodriguez provided details of the transaction and what it means for both companies. According to Rodriguez, EGR will receive a total consideration of $90,000 in cash, 1,750,000 common shares of Harvest Gold, and a 2.0% Net Smelter Returns Royalty as part of the deal. Additionally,

Harvest Gold is committed to investing a minimum of $300,000 in exploration expenditures on the property in the first two years following the transaction's completion. The Urban Barry property, covering approximately 6,900 hectares, holds strategic significance due to its proximity to Osisko Mining (TSX:OR.WT) Corp/Gold Field's Windfall property and the Langlois base metal-silver-gold mine, which is situated approximately 30 km to the northwest. This location presents exciting exploration potential and opportunities for Harvest Gold. The transaction is currently pending approval from the TSX Venture Exchange. EGR Exploration Limited's decision to enter into this agreement demonstrates its commitment to maximizing the value of its assets and leveraging strategic opportunities in the mining sector. Harvest Gold's involvement in this transaction further underscores its interest in expanding its presence in this promising mining region.

Fathom Nickel CEO Ian Fraser joined Steve Darling from Proactive provided a comprehensive overview of the company's notable achievements throughout the year 2023. Furthermore, he eloquently outlined the company's ambitious and promising plans for the upcoming year, 2024. Fraser's positive outlook was palpable as he expressed his satisfaction with the significant strides Fathom Nickel had made in the past year and his unwavering optimism for the road ahead. One of the major highlights of Fathom Nickel's journey in 2023 was their dedicated focus on the Gochager Lake project.

In the preceding year, the company unearthed a substantial multi-element soil anomaly and identified a massive conductor through advanced surface geophysical surveys. This discovery has piqued their interest, and they plan to commence drilling activities in this area early in 2024. Their objective is to delve deeper into investigating this anomaly, which holds the promise of exciting revelations. While Fraser acknowledged that market conditions had posed certain challenges in the latter part of 2023, he conveyed his optimism regarding improved market conditions in 2024. As a testament to this optimism, Fathom Nickel is actively wrapping up a financing round, strategically positioning themselves to fund their ambitious exploration plans for the forthcoming year.

Tiziana Life Sciences Ltd (NASDAQ:TLSA) chief medical officer and chief operating officer Matthew Davis speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company announced that the first patient has been dosed in its Phase 2a study, comparing two doses of its investigational therapeutic intranasal foralumab and placebo in patients with non-active secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis (na-SPMS).

Davis explains the significance of the news and puts it in context for investors, highlighting that Tiziana is currently leading the race to develop a treatment for non-active secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis.

He says that the trial's complexity lies in coordinating patient travel for PET scans, ensuring uniformity in scan readings, and managing logistic challenges. Despite Tiziana's small team, they leverage external experts like Everest, a contract research organisation, and Paragon for patient transportation. Key to the trial's success are its "exemplary" study coordinators

Davis emphasises the potential of Foralumab and says Tiziana's performance will ultimately be measured by their ability to deliver trial results in the coming year.

Davis concluded the interview by reflecting on the team's efforts and the importance of delivering on promises, looking forward to sharing further updates in the future.

TNR Gold Corp (TSX-V:TNR, OTC:TRRXF) Executive Chairman Kirill Klip speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about recent developments relevant to the green energy metals royalty and gold company.

Klip starts by discussing progress at the Los Azules Copper, Gold, and Silver Project, saying that a total investment of $65 million from Rio Tinto in McEwen Copper, which is developing Los Azules, underscores the project's potential. Additionally, European automaking giant Stellantis joined as an investor this year, contributing to a combined investment of 72bln Argentinian pesos.

Klip goes on to highlight the June 2023 release of a new preliminary economic assessment (PEA), revealing a 27% increase in total copper resource at Los Azules. With 11 billion pounds of copper in the indicated category and 27 billion pounds in the inferred category, Los Azules ranks among the world's top 10 largest copper projects. Looking ahead, a feasibility study is anticipated by early 2025, potentially generating up to $6 million pre-tax per year in royalty cash flows for TNR Gold shareholders.

Moreover, drilling efforts are ongoing, with McEwen Copper expanding their drilling campaign from 45,000 meters to 48,000 meters. This expansion, featuring 18 drilling rigs, promises further resource increases.

Finally, Klip comments on the Mariana Lithium project. The timely sale of a portion of their Mariana Lithium royalty, coinciding with lithium's price peak, strategically eliminated the company's debts. With production expected to start in 2024, Klip expresses optimism about the project's future, marking a successful year for TNR Gold Corp and setting a positive outlook for 2024.

Substrate Artificial Intelligence (AQSE:SAI.B, OTCQB:SUIAF) CEO José Iván García and Chairman Lorenzo Serratosa speak to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the Spanish AI company announced it has received €2 million in new investment from IMPULSE Tech Transfer, a venture capital fund.

Also part of the deal, IMPULSE gets to name a director to Substrate's supervisory board.

Reflecting on a 2023 that he describes as a "great year" for Substrate, Serratosa highlights the company's solid growth, with a 150% increase in revenues to €6.5mln. This achievement is particularly notable given the company's status as a relatively small player in the AI industry, especially within the Spanish market.

Substrate AI's aggressive expansion strategy included acquiring four companies, further diversifying its portfolio and solidifying its presence in the European AI sector.

Looking ahead to 2024, the company aims to continue its growth trajectory, targeting a 100% revenue increase to an estimated €13mln. This ambitious goal is supported by a focus on micro M&A and exploring new opportunities to enhance its competitive edge in AI.

Awalé Resources Ltd (TSX-V:ARIC) CEO Andrew Chubb speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the junior exploration company closed a non-brokered private placement with Newmont Ventures Limited, a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation, raising gross proceeds of C$957,530.89.

The funds will be allocated for greenfield exploration on the Odienné project permits and enhances Newmont's stake in the company to 15%. Originally holding 10% of Awalé through a joint venture, Newmont's investment dipped but was restored and increased at a premium price. This financial boost enables Awalé to accelerate exploration on their wholly-owned permits, which encircle the two properties jointly ventured with Newmont.

Chubb suggests that the expanded investment from Newmont not only demonstrates trust in Awalé's operational approach but also signifies the potential of the district where they operate.

Reflecting on 2023, Chubb expresses satisfaction with the company's progress, citing some effective housekeeping after the May financing.

Notably, Newmont has also increased its funding for joint venture projects, elevating the budget from $3 million to $3.75 million. This increment has facilitated the initiation of an extensive diamond drilling program, aiming to drill three to four thousand meters.

Awalé Resources expects to release drill results in January, promising further insights into their ventures.

KEFI Gold and Copper PLC (AIM:KEFI, OTC:KFFLF) executive chairman Harry Anagnostaras-Adams speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about how the exploration and development company has performed in 2023 and how its positioned heading into the new year.

Adams describes the end of the year as "extremely busy and very successful," highlighting that key developments are aligning favourably, although not all details can be disclosed yet.

He says significant progress has been made at the Tulu Kapi Gold Project in Ethiopia, with three major prerequisites being met. This includes the relaxation of foreign exchange controls in October, allowing the company to organise a crucial stakeholder meeting in November. He suggests that these developments, coupled with strong support from the Ethiopian government, including from the Prime Minister, have set the stage for the project's safe launch.

Adams details the government's quick and emphatic response to the company's requests, providing extra support around the project area. This response led the lead financiers to move towards final approval. Adams emphasized the complexity of the transaction and the forward momentum of the project, despite some delays in formal announcements due to the protocols of large financing organisations.

Looking ahead, Adams mentions the commencement of formal resettlement processes post-Ethiopian Christmas (January 7th), expected to take two to three months. This period will involve working closely with each household affected by the project, ensuring a smooth transition.

In Saudi Arabia, KEFI has also seen developments. The company plans intensive strategy optimisation sessions in January.

Ending the interview, Adams conveys a sense of relief at reaching this stage of the company's development and optimism for the future.
