Gunnison Copper reports breakthrough sorting results that could greatly boost project economics

Gunnison Copper Corp CEO Stephen Twyerould joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share promising results from the company’s initial mineralized material sorting test program at its flagship Gunnison Copper Project in southeast Arizona—one of the largest and most advanced copper development projects in the United States. The test program analyzed a half-ton sample of PQ drill core collected from the Martin Formation during Gunnison’s recently completed metallurgical drilling campaign. The Martin Formation represents approximately 44% of the Gunnison resource base and is known as the deposit’s highest acid-consuming rock type. The sample—made up of roughly 54% mineralized material and 46% internal waste—was selected to reflect the overall material characteristics of this formation. Twyerould described the results as “extremely encouraging,” noting their potential to significantly reduce acid consumption while maintaining high copper recovery rates—two critical factors for the project’s economics. These findings will directly support the company’s forthcoming updated preliminary economic assessment and planned pre-feasibility study. According to the company, more than 90% of the internal acid-consuming waste was successfully removed from the mineralized material using commercial-scale optical sorting equipment. This waste rejection is expected to lower acid consumption by as much as fourfold while maintaining metal recovery performance. Importantly, less than 1% of the total copper content was lost to the waste stream, ensuring that copper recovery—and potential revenue—remains strong. Twyerould emphasized that this breakthrough could meaningfully improve the project’s operating costs, environmental profile, and overall financial returns, reinforcing Gunnison Copper’s position as a leading development-stage copper asset in the United States. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf r #CopperMining #USMining #CopperProject #MiningInvestment #CommodityMarkets #CopperProduction #ArizonaMining #ResourceDevelopment #MiningStocks #CopperDemand #MetalsAndMining

Fineqia International CEO Bundeep Rangar joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide insight into the rapidly evolving Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) landscape and how the company is positioning itself to capitalize on this emerging sector. Rangar explained that an increasing number of companies are now holding digital assets—particularly top-tier cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum—as long-term balance sheet assets. This trend, he noted, has been accelerated by high-profile corporate adopters such as MicroStrategy and growing institutional interest fueled by greater regulatory clarity in the United States. “Holding on to crypto, particularly top coins, has become a strategically valuable thing to do,” Rangar said, emphasizing that corporate treasuries now see digital assets as a hedge and a growth vehicle. He observed that DAT companies have historically traded at a premium due to the scarcity of access to crypto markets, but these premiums are beginning to compress as the market matures. Against this backdrop, Rangar highlighted Fineqia’s competitive edge: its ability to deliver yield-bearing exposure to digital assets through its suite of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs). This approach allows DATs to generate returns on their holdings while maintaining compliance with U.S. Investment Company Act restrictions by utilizing the operating company exemption. Fineqia currently offers yield-focused products such as YBTC and YADA, with approximately $55–$60 million in assets under management. Rangar said the company is positioning itself for the next phase of the market’s evolution—a shift away from simple asset accumulation and toward generating sustainable yield. He added that this transition will be driven by the growing adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. “The shift will go from stablecoins and DATs this summer to DeFi in the fall and winter,” he remarked. Rangar emphasized that by bridging traditional financial structures with decentralized yield opportunities, Fineqia aims to establish itself as a leader in the DAT ecosystem as it enters a period of rapid growth and transformation. #proactiveinvestors #fineqiainternationalinc #cse #fnq #otc #fnqqf #DigitalAssets #CryptoStrategy #ETP #DAT #DeFi #Bitcoin #Cardano #DigitalTreasury #CryptoYield #InvestmentStrategy #ProactiveInvestors #BundeepRangar

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major milestone for the company’s dermatology pipeline: the commencement of patient recruitment for its SKNJCT-004 Phase 2 clinical study, designed to non-invasively treat basal cell carcinoma of the skin. The trial has officially begun enrolling participants at the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, following earlier “study may proceed” approval granted by the UAE Department of Health. Bokhari explained that the study is expected to randomize 36 patients across four leading medical centers in the UAE. In addition to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, recruitment is set to begin at several other prominent institutions, including Sheikh Shakbout Medical City, Burjeel Medical City, Rashid Hospital, Clemenceau Medical Center, and the American Hospital of Dubai. This multi-center approach aims to accelerate enrollment while ensuring the study draws on a broad and diverse patient population. The SKNJCT-004 trial will assess the efficacy of two dose levels of Medicus Pharma’s investigational therapy D-MNA compared to a placebo control. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into three groups: a placebo group receiving P-MNA, a low-dose group receiving 100μg of D-MNA, and a high-dose group receiving 200μg of D-MNA. The company believes that a non-invasive therapy could transform the standard of care for BCC by offering patients an alternative to surgery or other destructive modalities. Bokhari also highlighted that Medicus Pharma continues to advance its broader clinical program targeting BCC. The company’s SKNJCT-003 Phase 2 study is currently underway at nine clinical sites across the United States, with patient randomization having commenced in August 2024. In March 2025, the company reported a positively trending interim analysis from SKNJCT-003, demonstrating more than 60% clinical clearance—an encouraging early indicator of the therapy’s potential efficacy. The company has also closed its acquisition of Antev, a UK-based biotech focused on next-generation gonadotrophin releasing hormone antagonists, noting the company now controls three FDA-approved clinical studies. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #UAEHealth #NonInvasiveTherapy #Doxorubicin #ClinicalTrials #HealthcareInnovation

GoviEx Uranium Inc head of corporate communications Isabel Vilela talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s recent developments, including progress in Niger and the planned transaction with Tombador Iron. Vilela explained that GoviEx had agreed with the Republic of Niger to extend the pause in arbitration over the Madaouela Project license for another six months. She noted, “The key point here is that both parties are willing to talk and negotiate, and we want to keep the dialogue going.” Vilela emphasised that the arbitration pause remains entirely separate from the company’s deal with Tombador Iron. She also provided an update on the reverse takeover transaction with Tombador, highlighting that over 40% of GoviEx security holders have already committed to supporting the deal. On the Tombador side, their shareholder vote is scheduled for early October, with GoviEx’s meeting planned later in the month. The company expects to close the transaction before the end of the year, pending regulatory approvals. Vilela outlined the benefits of the transaction, including access to Australian mining investors, an injection of between A$5 million and A$10 million at a premium to the current share price, and a tighter capital structure through share consolidation. Importantly, GoviEx shareholders will retain 75% of the combined company pre-raise. The business will also rebrand to Atomic Eagle, with a continued focus on developing the Muntanga Project.

MP Evans Group PLC (AIM:MPE) chief executive Matthew Coulson talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s strong half-year results, highlighting a 50% jump in operating profit. Coulson attributed the performance to two main drivers: improved crop mix and firm palm oil prices. “We changed the mix of crop going through our mills,” he said, noting that more of the company’s own crop—known for its superior quality and lower production cost—was processed during the period. Coulson explained that this strategy improved both margins and efficiency, enabling MP Evans to extract more oil at a lower cost base. He also pointed to a 10% increase in certified sustainable palm oil output, which supports customer demand and adds a premium to product pricing. Turning to shareholder value, Coulson highlighted a 20% increase in the interim dividend and reiterated the company’s commitment to maintaining or growing shareholder returns, a track record that has continued for 35 years. He added that MP Evans maintains a strong net cash position, allowing for reinvestment, including a recent acquisition of 3,000 hectares in East Kalimantan to support future expansion. Coulson concluded by stating that trading into the second half of the year remains strong with continued firm pricing. Watch more interviews on Proactive’s YouTube channel.

ATOME PLC (AIM:ATOM) CEO Olivier Mussat talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s landmark offtake agreement for its Villeta Project in Paraguay. The project is described by Mussat as the first industrial-scale, fully dedicated green fertiliser facility. Powered by renewable energy, it will convert green hydrogen into ammonia and ultimately produce 260,000 tons per year of calcium ammonium nitrate fertiliser. Mussat explained, “Offtake means who is going to buy your product, at what price, and for how long? Because that determines the bankability of your project.” He confirmed that ATOME has signed a ten-year take-or-pay agreement with Yara, one of the world’s largest fertiliser companies, covering 100% of production, with an option to renew. He highlighted that Yara sells over 6 million tons of fertiliser annually in Latin America, making it a significant long-term partner. The CEO emphasised that this partnership ensures guaranteed revenues before construction even begins, which is a critical factor in securing financing. He noted that ATOME has already purchased land, completed environmental and social impact assessments, and agreed on EPC terms with Casale. The next steps will focus on finalising financing with equity led by Hy24 and debt discussions involving institutions such as IDB, FMO, the European Investment Bank, and IFC.

Active Energy Group PLC (AIM:AEG, OTCQB:ATGVF) treasury advisor Adrian Rowles talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s newly outlined digital treasury strategy and its role in supporting renewable energy operations. Rowles explained that the approach is “compliance-led and diversified, building resilience and scaling carefully,” with a clear 12 to 24-month roadmap. In the first year, the focus will be on structure and transparency, while by the second year, digital assets are expected to deliver a meaningful contribution to operational income. A portion of the company’s recent £2.50 million capital raise has been earmarked for treasury management, with around 30% of working capital to be placed into digital assets. Rowles noted that reserves will be primarily held in Bitcoin and Ethereum, but there are also plans to explore alternative opportunities, such as hedging strategies to better manage crypto cycles and generate a predictable yield. He emphasised that success will be measured through safety, liquidity, and risk-adjusted returns. Assets will be held with regulated partners, diversification caps will limit exposure to any single asset, and safeguards will be tested to ensure cautious but efficient management. Rowles highlighted that the integration of digital assets with renewables is designed to create sustainable income streams that strengthen the group’s core operations.

International Lithium Corp. (TSX-V:ILC, OTCQB:ILHMF) chairman and CEO John Wisbey talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest strategic developments, including its option to acquire Lepidico’s interest in the Karibib Lithium, Rubidium and Cesium project in Namibia. Wisbey explained that the Karibib project brings both scale and advanced development, with a feasibility study already completed in 2020. He highlighted that the resource contains significant lithium, a substantial rubidium component, and enough cesium to meet a year of global demand. “Our research shows, that was validated by some external research, shows that it's the largest declared rubidium resource in Africa,” he noted. He described the project as complementary to International Lithium’s Raleigh Lake project in Canada, which has already reached the PEA stage and also contains both lithium and rubidium. Namibia’s proximity to Zimbabwe, where the company has pending applications, was also seen as a geographic advantage. If the option is exercised, Wisbey said the immediate focus will be on due diligence, establishing a drilling program to expand resources, and aligning reporting with Canadian NI 43-101 standards. He added that financing will be supported by proceeds from past asset sales, with further planning under discussion with investors. The company emphasized that there is a possibility that the option may not be exercised, especially if Lepidico Namibia encounters an adverse outcome in an arbitration dispute with the Chinese company Jiangxi Jinhui Lithium Co. Ltd., which involves claims and counterclaims. This arbitration in Singapore is expected to conclude in September or October 2025. For more interviews and updates, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.
