Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX:YRL) managing director Chris Oorschot talks with Proactive’s Tylah Tully about the latest aircore drilling results from the large Caladan target area, part of the Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project in Western Australia. Oorschot explained how the company drilled into a 1-kilometre-long, 3-kilometre-wide fault structure consisting of intermediate and mafic volcanic rocks during a first-pass aircore program. This effort uncovered a low-level regolith anomaly, leading to significant intercepts, including a standout result of 11 metres at 1.7 g/t gold from 97 metres to the end of the hole. As a result, Yandal has identified a new prospect, Arrakis, based on clustering results and the anomaly. This largely untested greenfields region represents a significant exploration opportunity. Next steps include follow-up assays, heritage surveys, and a broader aircore drilling program to understand the anomaly's scale and potential. Watch the video for more details on how Yandal Resources plans to advance the Caladan target area within the IWB Gold Project. #ProactiveInvestors #YandalResources #ASX #ArrakisProspect #GoldExploration #WesternAustraliaMining #IronstoneWellBarwidgee #AirCoreDrilling #CaladanTarget #ResourceExploration #ProactiveStudio

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to reflected on a highly successful 2024, as the company’s innovative smart beta 2.0 ETFs delivered robust gains, highlighting the strength of its quantitative investment strategy. The company’s ETF offerings, which include the U.S. Global Jets ETF, U.S. Global Go Gold and Precious Metals Miners ETF, and U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF, all closed the year in positive territory, showcasing resilience and growth across key sectors. The standout performer was the U.S. Global Jets ETF, which achieved an impressive 33.21% increase. Holmes attributed this strong performance to a booming airline industry, bolstered by favorable economic conditions and record-high passenger traffic. The Transportation Security Administration reported screening over 900 million passengers in U.S. airports in 2024, marking a 5% increase from 2023. Declining global oil prices further supported the sector, easing operational costs for airlines. Holmes emphasized the industry's adaptability and strategic focus, stating, “The airline industry demonstrated remarkable agility in 2024. Strong travel demand, strategic capacity management, and lower fuel costs have helped position airlines for sustained success. This resilience underscores the long-term potential of the Jets ETF as a key investment in the travel and transportation space.” The U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF (SEA ETF) also delivered a solid performance, benefiting from dividends reinvested despite a challenging year for the global shipping industry. Geopolitical instability and labor disputes presented significant hurdles throughout 2024. However, cargo shipping companies quickly adapted by rerouting trade routes, managing rates proactively, and prioritizing sustainability initiatives even in the face of immense pressure. Holmes noted, “The cargo shipping industry proved its resilience once again by not only weathering a difficult global environment but continuing to deliver consistent dividends. This highlights the strength and dependability of the SEA ETF, even during periods of economic uncertainty.” The performance of U.S. Global Investors’ ETFs underscores the company’s ability to leverage data-driven strategies to identify opportunities in key growth sectors. With a focus on innovation and adaptability, Holmes expressed confidence in the company’s ability to continue delivering value to investors as markets evolve. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #grow #etf #jets #travel #colombia #WARETF #DefenceSpending #Cybersecurity #Semiconductors #Aerospace #SmartBeta #ETFs #NYSE

Volta Metals CEO Karem Usenmez joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has announced the initial sampling results from the company’s recently acquired ZigZag Property, located in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Northwest Ontario. Situated within the Caribou Greenstone Belt, the under explored ZigZag property benefits from its location near two significant crustal structural trends known to host lithium pegmatite swarms, including the Falcon West and Aubury Pegmatite systems. Following the acquisition of the ZigZag Property, Volta Metals promptly collected 21 samples from the Dempster East pegmatite zone, located approximately 7 kilometers west of the company’s Falcon West pegmatite swarm. Assays from these samples confirmed the presence of exceptionally high-grade mineralization, including lithium, tantalum, cesium, rubidium, and gallium. These results validate the exploration potential of the ZigZag Property and its significance within the broader Thunder Bay Mining District. Volta Metals has outlined the next steps in its exploration strategy including stripping and prospecting to expose additional mineralized zones. The company will also detail mapping and structural analysis to better understand the geology and distribution of the pegmatites. The team also plans to conducting geophysical surveys to identify deeper or hidden mineralization targets. The ZigZag Property’s proximity to Lake Nipigon and the Caribou Greenstone Belt positions it within a highly prospective region for lithium and rare element discoveries. With a growing demand for critical minerals in the green energy transition, Usenmez expressed optimism about the property’s potential to become a key contributor to Volta Metals’ portfolio and to the broader supply chain of critical materials. #proactiveinvestors #voltametalsltd #cse #vlta #mining #lithium #citicalmetals #LithiumDiscovery #Gallium #ZigZagProperty #StrategicMetals #OntarioMining #Semiconductors #AIAdvancements #Exploration #ProactiveInvestors
