HANetf's Hector McNeil explains how YieldMax and REX ETFs target high yields with covered calls

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s progress in building a vertically integrated lithium iron phosphate battery supply chain entirely within North America—a mission gaining urgency as global supply chain tensions with China continue to escalate. Over the past three years, First Phosphate has been methodically developing an end-to-end supply chain using domestically sourced critical minerals, including phosphate and iron from its own properties in Québec. Passalacqua emphasized that the company’s grassroots, entrepreneurial approach sets it apart: “We work entrepreneurially. We're not working from the top down and then trying to backfill. We're working from what we got.” That bottom-up strategy has enabled First Phosphate to hit major milestones where other, more heavily funded projects have faced setbacks. Despite no government funding or backing from major investment banks, the company has successfully produced LFP batteries using its own raw materials, validating its integrated model. Looking ahead, Passalacqua said commercial production is targeted for 2029 at the company’s Bégin-Lamarche mine, supported by existing offtake agreements and partnerships that will help anchor North America’s battery manufacturing ecosystem. With a proven technical pathway, established partnerships, and a focus on regional independence, First Phosphate is positioning itself as a strategic cornerstone in North America’s clean energy transition. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries #dod

Silver Range Resources CEO Mike Power joined Steve Darling to announce that the company has begun its fall exploration program at the East Goldfield Property in Nye County, Nevada. The program includes an airborne total magnetic field and radiometric survey being conducted by Precision Geosurveys, designed to enhance geological mapping and identify new exploration targets. The survey, expected to begin in the coming days following the completion of Precision’s work in the Tonopah area, will cover 269 line-kilometres flown at 50-metre spacing and 30 metres above ground level. Power explained that the data will be instrumental in mapping the complex, highly altered volcanic stratigraphy across the property—critical for pinpointing structures that may host gold mineralization. In addition to the airborne program, a surface sampling campaign has been completed in the area south of the central hydrothermal alteration zone, examining five target areas. The most promising target features a five-metre exposure of grey vuggy quartz with disseminated pyrite, located approximately 380 metres east-northeast of the historic Tom Keane Mine shaft. Power noted that this mineralization style is similar to gold-bearing zones elsewhere in the Goldfield Mining District, one of Nevada’s historic high-grade gold camps. The Tom Keane Mine, the most significant historical working on the property, includes a 500-foot inclined shaft and 2,860 feet of underground drifts across four levels. Silver Range’s ongoing exploration aims to integrate modern survey data with historic records to better define potential high-grade gold targets for future drilling. #proactiveinvestors #silverrangeresources #tsxv #sng #mining #mikepower #nevada #eastgoldfield #SilverRangeResources #EastGoldfield #NevadaGold #GoldExploration #MiningUpdates #JuniorMining #DrillingProgram #RadiometricSurvey #MiningNews #GoldTargets #InvestorNews

Zephyr Energy PLC (AIM:ZPHR, OTCQB:ZPHRF) CEO Colin Harrington talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s recently updated Competent Person’s Report (CPR) for its Paradox project. The report highlights a significant uplift in reserves, with 2P volumes increasing 25-fold to 35 million barrels. Harrington explained that this equates to a projected $400 million in cash flow over the life of the project, with a present value (PV) today of around $100 million. He noted that this update marks a “seminal moment” for the company, providing validation of its progress and setting the stage for accelerated development. The CPR only covers acreage with existing seismic data, representing a fraction of the potential across the broader Paradox asset. Harrington added that, “We still have a huge amount of growth that we can access,” referencing an additional 270 million barrels of overlying reservoirs that could be moved from 2U into contingent categories through further testing. The company is now focused on expansion—horizontally through land nominations, vertically by testing eight additional reservoirs, and accelerating development via potential partnerships. Work is also progressing on pipeline access through Enbridge, with commercial and regulatory processes underway to bring existing wells online. Harrington also gave an update on Zephyr’s non-operated portfolio, pointing to recent production-enhancing deals executed under its private equity partnership.

Reabold Resources PLC (AIM:RBD) co-chief executive Stephen Williams joined Stephen Gunnion in the Proactive studio with the latest updates on the company's core assets — Colle Santo and West Newton — and the potential value they represent for shareholders. Williams highlighted how Reabold’s strategy focuses on unlocking value without taking on additional funding risks. He explained that the company applies a disciplined model of acquiring de-risked assets and enhancing them before exiting or farming out. A previous example of this was the Victory field, which was sold to Shell and has now entered production. Regarding Colle Santo, Williams noted the transaction with Beacon Energy removed funding risk from Reabold while retaining value exposure through a €16 million earnout and a 29% equity stake in Beacon. He said, “We are not putting any more money in ourselves... we've done the Beacon transaction and are allowing Beacon to go and raise the money.” In the UK, Williams discussed early monetisation efforts at West Newton, including plans to use vertical wells to power crypto mining operations while awaiting further development approvals. He said the broader opportunity could include powering data centre operations, given the rising demand. Williams emphasised that Reabold’s market valuation does not reflect the value of its assets: “The stock has been trading a little more than our cash value, essentially putting next to zero value onto the two core projects.” For more exclusive interviews and updates, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

Solvonis Therapeutics PLC (LSE:SVNS) CEO Anthony Tennyson talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s £1.25 million fundraise and its expanding focus on central nervous system (CNS) drug development. Tennyson said the new capital—raised from strategic and institutional investors—brings Solvonis’s total fundraising since May to £4.25 million. These funds will support the acceleration of its CNS discovery programme, which he described as “the innovation engine that drives long-term value creation for Solvonis Therapeutics PLC.” The company is building a platform centred on addiction, psychiatry, and neurology, with a particular focus on high-burden, poorly treated diseases. Solvonis already has an advanced clinical programme for severe alcohol use disorder (SVN-001), targeting the UK and EU markets. A phase 2b trial is also planned for SVN-002, aimed at moderate to severe alcohol use disorder in the US. Looking ahead, Tennyson outlined a three-tiered value strategy, covering near-, medium-, and long-term milestones. He said the company follows a lean, capital-efficient model, working with CROs and academic groups to advance its assets to key inflection points for potential out-licensing to larger pharmaceutical partners. “Our business model is focused on progressing our assets to the appropriate inflection point and then seeking to end-license those,” Tennyson explained.

Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ, OTC:FNQQF) senior associate Matteo Greco talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the continued growth in digital asset ETPs, which reached a record $218 billion in assets under management last month. Greco explained the key factors behind this trend, citing the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US as a significant catalyst, combined with the overall strength of the crypto market since early 2024. “The growth is just steady and continuous,” Greco said, pointing to a consistent rise in institutional interest across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins. He noted that after a brief dip, Bitcoin ETPs saw renewed inflows in September, highlighting sustained confidence among institutional investors. Greco also addressed Ethereum ETPs, which held steady despite price pullbacks, reflecting deeper investor trust. He linked this to the expanding regulatory framework and broader acceptance of Ethereum as a long-term asset class. Altcoin ETPs saw a surge of nearly 37%, with standout performances from Solana and Binance Coin (BNB). Greco said this was in part due to Ethereum’s strong Q2 and Q3 performance, which led investors to diversify further into altcoins. Looking ahead, Greco acknowledged the volatility in crypto markets, but stated that historical data suggests continued momentum, noting: “The trend is pretty clear, and the demand is rising… and I think will keep rising in the next few years.” For more market updates and insights from industry experts, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

HANetf co-CEO Hector McNeil talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s growing range of covered call ETFs, including the REX and YieldMax ranges, which are delivering some of the highest projected yields in the market. McNeil said that HANetf’s products are designed to meet growing investor demand for income-generating strategies, as covered call ETFs use a mix of dividends and option premiums to generate returns. “The lowest one we have in the REX range is sort of 20, 22, 23% annualised, all the way up to mid 30s,” McNeil explained, adding that YieldMax products can reach up to 59% with the MSTY ETF. The REX lineup covers crypto, blockchain, miners, and technology sectors, while the YieldMax range includes strategies focused on large-cap tech and single-stock exposure to MicroStrategy. McNeil said both ranges are managed by highly experienced active managers who trade daily options, providing investors with a new way to earn yield beyond traditional dividend strategies. He added that the success of covered call ETFs in the US is now being mirrored in Europe, with HANetf seeing around $100 million in assets across the REX and YieldMax offerings.

Standard Uranium Vice President of Exploration Sean Hillacre joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share preliminary results from the company’s recently completed exploration program at the Rocas Uranium Project in northern Saskatchewan. The project is currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Collective Metals Inc. and spans 4,002 hectares, located approximately 75 kilometres southwest of the Key Lake Mine and Mill facilities and 72 kilometres south of the Athabasca Basin margin. Hillacre reported that the team has completed a detailed mapping and sampling program across historical uranium showings and newly defined zones of interest, leading to the identification of multiple areas of strong radioactivity. Several handheld scintillometer readings exceeded 10,000 counts per second at surface, confirming the presence of high-grade uranium potential in multiple locations. The program also resulted in the discovery of new radioactive showings, with scintillometer prospecting uncovering previously undocumented anomalies in lithologies that are favorable for both uranium and rare earth element mineralization. Geological mapping along key structural and electromagnetic trends has confirmed the presence of deformed and hydrothermally altered basement rocks over a 7.5-kilometre strike length south of Key Lake, an encouraging indicator of potential mineralizing systems at depth. Hillacre emphasized that these findings significantly enhance the project’s geological model and will help guide next steps. The company now plans to conduct a diamond drill program in 2026 to test the highest-priority targets identified through this year’s detailed groundwork. He added, “The Rocas Project continues to demonstrate strong geological potential in one of the most prolific uranium districts in the world. These early results mark an exciting step forward as we build toward our first drill program on the property.” #proactiveinvestors #standarduraniumltd #tsxv #stnd #otcqb #sttdf #mining #uranium #sundogproject #UraniumExploration #AthabascaBasin #DavidsonRiver #MiningInnovation #Geophysics #AmbientNoiseTomography #ResourceInvesting #FleetSpace #UraniumDiscovery #MiningNews

Arizona Gold and Silver CEO Mike Stark joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share encouraging results from column leach tests on bulk samples at the company’s Philadelphia Project in Arizona. The latest data show a clear benefit from high-pressure grinding roll crushing, with material from the near-surface stockwork gold zone proving highly amenable to heap leach extraction for both gold and silver. After 119 days of leaching, the bulk sample crushed by HPGR to 6.3mm achieved 76% gold recovery and 40% silver recovery, representing a 16% improvement in gold and 12% improvement in silver compared to a parallel test using conventional crushing. Early results were particularly strong, with 51% gold recovery after just four days and 60% after 20 days, suggesting rapid leach kinetics and efficient processing potential. The company is targeting 80% total gold recovery within 150 days at the current crush size. Stark also announced that core drilling has resumed at the project. The next hole, PC25-157, is designed to test 60 meters north of a previously reported high-grade intercept of 20.43 meters grading 9.04 g/t gold and 34 g/t silver in hole PC25-156, targeting the Perry Vein at the same elevation. Stark emphasized that the combination of positive metallurgical results and renewed drilling positions Arizona Gold & Silver for meaningful progress as it continues to advance the Philadelphia Project. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #MiningNews #JuniorMining #HeapLeach #Metallurgy #ResourceInvesting #GoldStocks #PreciousMetals #MiningNews #GoldExploration #SilverMining #JuniorMining #ArizonaMining #GoldInvesting #DrillResults #MiningInfrastructure #ProactiveInvestors #perryzone #risingfawnzone #Antimony #CriticalMinerals #ArizonaGoldAndSilver #MiningNews #SilvertonProject #GoldExploration #JointVentureOpportunity #NevadaMining #DrillPermit

AuMEGA Metals CEO Sam Pazuki joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss exciting results from the company’s recently completed surficial geochemistry program at Cape Ray West, part of the flagship Cape Ray Gold Project in southwestern Newfoundland. The program marks a major step in expanding exploration into previously untested ground west of the current resource corridor and has outlined multiple high-grade gold-in-till anomalies, pointing to the discovery of a new multi-kilometre gold corridor along the western contact of the Isle aux Morts Granite — a large, underexplored intrusive complex that has never before been drill tested. Pazuki highlighted that the team identified multiple >99th percentile gold values, defining three large, coherent anomalies extending up to three kilometres in strike, with a peak value of 402 ppb gold-in-till. These anomalies are spatially associated with a network of cross-cutting structures within the Isle aux Morts Granite. The gold-in-till results also align closely with magnetic breaks and mapped geological structures, creating a strong multi-layered anomaly signature that reinforces the area’s potential as a new discovery frontier at Cape Ray. Integration of geochemical, geophysical, and structural datasets is now underway to refine and prioritize drill targets, with a fully funded drill program planned to begin this year. Pazuki added that additional assay results are forthcoming from sampling conducted over a major airborne electromagnetic anomaly southeast of the Central Zone and across the Isle aux Morts Granite, which could further expand the project’s mineralized footprint. #proactiveinvestors #aumegametals #tsxv #aam #otcqb #aummf #GoldExploration #AuMEGAMetals #CapeRayProject #NewfoundlandMining #JuniorMining #GoldStocks #MiningNews #GoldDrilling #ExplorationUpdate #EquinoxGold #B2Gold #EldoradoGold #ResourceInvesting
