Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies Holdings PLC (LSE:OCTP, OTCQB:OCTHF) Clarissa Sowemimo-Coker speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London after announcing that the company has commenced its phase I clinical trial for the lead drug candidate, OCT461201, marking the administration of the first human dose.

Researchers will assess the pain relief treatment's safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile (how it interacts with the body).

Sowemimo-Coker says its "so important to have that significant milestone of finally getting that first dose into a healthy volunteer, so we can officially say we're on the way and looking forward to getting those results over time."

The trial holds promise for patients suffering from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a condition affecting 60% of chemotherapy recipients, causing severe pain and sensitivity in extremities.

Sowemimo-Coker also highlights the recent addition to the team of Dr. Farquhar Smith, who runs the only CIPN clinic in the UK at the Royal Marsden.

Adriatic Metals PLC (LSE:ADT1, ASX:ADT, OTCQX:ADMLF) chief executive Paul Cronin speaks to Proactive after announcing that the precious and base metals developer has increased the resource estimate for its Rupice silver-zinc-lead-gold deposit in Bosnia and Herzegovina by 93%.

Cronin gives an overview of how the increase in the resource has been achieved and what it means for the future of the Vares project. The announcement comes after extensive drilling and hard work at the site in central Bosnia.

He also discusses the recently-released Q2 quarterly update, which revealed that construction at the site is around 85% complete with most costs locked away and contingencies released.

Despite a slight increase in project costs, Cronin sees them as acceptable considering the high inflation throughout much of the world.

He expects plant construction to complete soon with commercial operations beginning in November, and notes that ore is already being stockpiled at the site.

Asked whether he believes that the project is on the home straight, Cronin says that "I'm feeling like we're on the home straight... this is a huge milestone."

Thor Energy PLC (AIM:THR, OTCQB:THORF, ASX:THR) Managing Director Nicole Galloway Warland speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the uranium and energy metals-focused exploration company announced results from recently completed heliborne magnetic and radiometric surveys over the Company’s 100% owned uranium and vanadium projects – Wedding Bell, Radium Mountain and Vanadium King, situated within the Uravan Mineral Belt in Colorado and Utah, USA.

The survey marks the first time that advanced exploration techniques have been employed in the area since the 1960s and 70s. The survey identified strong uranium anomalies, some of which are in proximity to historic mining sites, suggesting potential extensions of mineralization or untapped resources.

Galloway Warland says that Groundhog and Section 23 emerged as priority areas, and will be included in the upcoming drilling program, which follows a successful 2022 program.

With final approvals from federal and state authorities in hand, the company anticipates commencing drilling in September.

She concludes by saying that "We're really starting to get a really good understanding of the style of mineralisation in the area.

Sigma Lithium CEO Ana Cabral-Gardner joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has initiated its first shipment of 30,000 tonnes of Triple Zero Green Lithium and Triple Zero Green By-Products. The company has moved 15,000 tonnes of battery-grade, carbon neutral, zero chemicals and zero tailings sustainable lithium and 15,000 tonnes of high-purity, zero chemicals, approximately 1.3% lithium oxide hypofine by-products. The next schedule delivery will be in August as the company continues to ramp-up of Phase 1 production which is currently operating at approximately 75% of nameplate throughput capacity

Cabral-Gardner telling Proactive this was achieved with the company successfully achieving net zero carbon emissions. This first shipment was produced at Sigma Lithium's state-of-the-art Greentech Plant, the first lithium project in the world without a tailings dam. With 100% dry-stacked tailings and the absence of hazardous chemical products for processing lithium, the Company is preventing water and soil contamination and contributing to the preservation of rivers and forests in the region. Another key point is due to the low carbon content of Sigma Lithium's products, the Company's carbon footprint after carbon abatement initiatives and implementation of environmentally sustainable production methods was offset with 59,000 tonnes of carbon credits purchased from Carbonext resulting in the Company reaching net zero this year. This makes Sigma Lithium able to deliver the world's first Triple Zero shipment of battery-grade lithium concentrate with zero hazardous chemicals, zero tailings and net zero carbon.

Mercia Asset Management PLC (AIM:MERC) CEO Dr Mark Payton speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about the specialist asset manager's involvement in a recent House of Common Treasury Select Committee investigation into the performance of the UK's venture capital (VC) industry.

Dr. Payton personally provided evidence to the Treasury Select Committee's investigation, which focused on "impact, diversity and inclusion" and particularly on the relatively high proportion of venture capital that flows to enterprises based in London and the south east. Mercia's longstanding aim of addressing the disparity in capital provision between London and other UK regions made it a natural invitee to the enquiry.

He goes on to give some highlights of his contribution to the investigation, which included advocating for the extension of the Enterprise Investment Scheme and Venture Capital Trusts beyond their 2025 sunset clause. He also called for the removal of the age test, which disadvantages regional businesses that take longer to develop.

Additionally, he requested the lifting of the capital cap on investments in venture businesses to foster the growth of the next generation of companies.

Dr. Payton remains optimistic about the regions' potential and encourages other managers to join in driving regional growth.

Mila Resources PLC (LSE:MILA) executive director Mark Stephenson speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the post-discovery gold exploration accelerator announced a new agreement with ASX-listed Liontown Resources.

The agreement gives Liontown the option to explore for lithium on the Kathleen Valley Licence Area in Western Australia, where Mila is primarily focused on gold and precious metals. Stephenson highlights the significance of this opportunity for Mila's investors, saying that it opens up a whole new avenue within their existing acreage.

He adds that through Liontown's exploration for lithium, Mila will gain access to valuable data that can help assess the potential for gold resources in the area as well.

While the extent of lithium mineralization remains uncertain, Liontown's serious involvement and sizable market capitalization indicate promising prospects. As the collaboration progresses, Mila retains ownership of all gold and precious metals, making this partnership a potentially rewarding venture for the company.

Good morning from London where the FTSE 100 is up so far, on a day replete with earning announcements.

Among them was British Gas owner Centrica, which is reporting a tenfold increase in net cash alongside a 55% jump in adjusted profit as energy crisis costs were recovered through higher bills.

Fellow energy firm Shell failed to grip investors with a new US$5.5bn buyback scheme and a complementary dividend hike though, as shares receded on lower second-quarter profits.

Barclays also fell early on, as the bank’s increasing quarterly pre-tax profits were overshadowed by mounting bad debt provisions.

Shares in Drax Group slipped too, as the energy generator saw pre-tax earnings jump at the half-year stage alongside a rise in net debt.

Investors were more positive over at BT meanwhile, with the shares opening higher as the telco giant reiterated full-year guidance after a modest 4% rise in quarterly revenue.

Away from earnings, Ocado shares were struck down by news that Luke Jensen, chief executive of the group’s tech wing, will be retiring at the end of September.

And finally in small caps, AIM-listed Wizz Air has received an enforcement order from airline regulator the CAA after slow refunds for cancellations and flight delays sparked a raft of complaints.
