Proactive Research Analyst Robin Davison speaks to Thomas Warner after publishing a new research note on iron defiency-focused commercial-stage specialty pharmaceutical company Shield Therapeutics.

Davison gives an overview of what readers can expect from the note, highlighting Shield's recent half-year results and accompanying financing transactions. The company's burgeoning relationship with commercial partner Viatris is a key focus.

While the product's trajectory is promising, Davison explains that Shield has been grappling with the challenge of drug reimbursements in the US, leading to the incurring of some costs. However, plans are underway to assist doctors in navigating this system, with a view to securing a higher average drug price.

Davison suggests that Shield's ability to increase that average price will be a "key metric going forward."

He concludes by saying that "the trajectory is going extremely well, [they' really just want to get the pricing issue sorted now and it should be a great story."

Davison's research note is available on the Proactive website as is a interview with Shield Therapeutics' CEO Greg Madison.

Fenix Resources Ltd (ASX:FEX) chairman John Welborn speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the iron ore producer announced it has secured the exclusive right to mine and export up to 10 million dry metric tonnes of iron ore from the high-grade Beebyn-W11 iron ore deposit, not far from its existing Iron Ridge Project in the Mid West region of Australia.

Welborn provides some context, saying that Fenix has produced around 3 million tonnes of iron ore since starting mining in 2020. The company boasts a fully integrated business model, owning its haulage fleet and port logistic services.

The latest news reveals that Fenix has secured the rights from the Sinosteel Midwest Corporation to mine an additional 10 million tonnes from the Weld Range, specifically from the Beebyn-W11 Iron ore deposit.

Welborne emphasises the company's control over the three essential components of iron ore production: material, port pathway, and shipping. While the iron ore price remains a concern, Welborne remains optimistic about Fenix's future and its potential to reward shareholders.

He says "We're immediately going to progress mining approval pathways and look at potential expansion of our existing production rate, and certainly a significant mine life extension."

Bradda Head Lithium Limited (AIM:BHL, OTCQB:BHLIF, TSX-V:BHLI) executive chairman Ian Stalker speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London after the exploration company announced an updated mineral resource estimate for its Basin Project in Arizona.

The new resource estimate is 17 million tonnes in the indicated category at 940 parts per million (ppm) carrying 85,000t LCE (lithium carbonate) and 210 million tonnes in the inferred category at 900 ppm, carrying 1 million tonnes of LCE. The figures have triggered a payment of $2.5 million from the Lithium Royalty Company (LRC).

Stalker explains that the money has helped consolidate Bradda Head Lithium's financial position to such an extent that there is no imminent need to raise funds. He adds that the company has so far explored only a small proportion of the total 41 square kilometre package, indicating significant growth potential. International mining consultancy firm SRK, a renowned consultancy engineering group, has confirmed the robustness of the numbers so far.

The next milestone is achieving 2.5 million tonnes of LCE, which would result in another $3 million payment.

Additionally, Stoker touched on their San Domingo pegmatite project, highlighting its potential and the ongoing drilling activities saying its there that Bradda Head is "chasing to some extent the dream". He also mentioned the recruitment of a new CEO and hinted at upcoming positive news for the company.

OptionsDesk broker Simon Hanouka speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London ahead of another big week in the world's financial markets.

Hanouka highlights an address from Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell scheduled for Monday, several important earnings calls in the UK and then non-farm payroll data expected in the US on Friday to round out the week.

He also draws attention to last week's spike in the VIX volatility index, saying that bearish sentiment was very much in evidence at MoneyWeek's annual investment conference on Friday. The spectre of stagflation was even raised as one possible outcome of continued high interest rates, particularly if coupled with further increases in crude oil prices.

"If you look at the S&P500 year-to-date we're up 11%, but if you look at the equal-weighted version of the index without the Top-5 heavyweight tech stocks that have been carrying it, we are down for the year."

Forte Minerals CEO Patrick Elliott joined Steve Darling from Proactive tp share significant developments regarding the company's Pucarini Gold Project in Southern Peru.

Elliott announced that Forte Minerals has successfully obtained its Environmental Impact Statement for the Pucarini Gold Project after a two-year wait. This important permit allows the company to conduct drilling activities at up to 40 platforms over a five-year timeline.

Furthermore, Elliott highlighted the company's progress in surface exploration in 2021, which included an IP survey. The exploration efforts led to the identification of four priority exploration targets, which are now set to be tested for economic gold mineralization beneath the surface.

To accomplish this, Forte Minerals has planned an initial 4-hole drilling program to assess these targets. The program will encompass over 1,000 meters of core drilling, providing valuable insights into the project's potential.

These milestones mark significant progress for Forte Minerals in advancing the Pucarini Gold Project and underscore the company's dedication to exploring and developing valuable mineral resources in Southern Peru.

Shield Therapeutics PLC (AIM:STX, OTCQX:SHIEF) CEO Greg Madison speaks to Thomas Warner after a busy week for the commercial stage pharmaceutical company, which included the release of its interim results and the announcement of a major fundraise.

He highlights the success of the fundraise, which comprised US$20 million from a new senior debt facility as well as an equity fundraise (split between a share placing, a subscription and an offering to retail investors) that brought in an additional US$6 million.

He explains that the new funding is going to be put to use in "paying off an existing loan, increasing our working capital needs and then certainly some commercial investments to accelerate the curve that we're seeing here."

The curve he describes is the marked increase in demand for Shield's Accrufer product, which is a stable, non-salt based oral therapy for adults with iron deficiency that is designed to avoid some of the unwanted side-effects of conventional iron tablets.

He says he "can't speak highly enough about the dedication and passion of [his] team at Shield, but also about our partner Viatris... we made an excellent choice... we couldn't be more pleased with the partnership and the collaboration we're seeing."

Fathom Nickel CEO Ian Fraser joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share important updates regarding the completion of the Fall 2023 drill program at the Gochager Lake deposit within the Gochager Lake Project.

Fraser announced that the drill program successfully concluded with seven drillholes completed, totaling 2,168 meters in length. Notably, semi-massive and massive sulphides were intersected in two of the holes, effectively extending the nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization that was previously intersected in drillhole GL23003, both up and down plunge.

Additionally, the results revealed two strong off-hole BHEM (Down-Hole Electromagnetic) anomalies associated with favorable host rocks encountered in drillhole GL23011, situated approximately 400 meters northeast of the Gochager Lake deposit.

The company is eagerly anticipating the receipt of assay results, which are expected within the next four to five weeks. During this time, Fathom Nickel will continue to model BHEM and surface geophysics results, aiming to further refine its understanding of the deposit.

Fathom Nickel also plans to release the results of the BHEM survey analysis in the coming weeks, providing stakeholders with comprehensive insights into the project's progress and potential. These developments signify significant strides in advancing the Gochager Lake Project and further solidify Fathom Nickel's commitment to resource exploration and discovery.
