FireFly Metals Ltd (ASX:FFM, TSX:FFM, OTC:MNXMF) managing director Steve Parsons takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the latest drill results from the Green Bay project and their implications for the company’s upcoming resource upgrade. Parsons highlighted that recent infill drilling at Green Bay has delivered some of the project’s highest-grade results to date, including intercepts such as 11 metres at 9% copper equivalent, with 6% copper and 4 grams of gold. He noted that this enhanced consistency and grade across the ore body is expected to support a larger measured and indicated resource, which is due for release later in the year. "You should see grade increasing, and of course, you're seeing consistency throughout the ore body," Parsons explained. Parsons also outlined Firefly’s current exploration strategy, with eight rigs active on site. Four rigs are focused on infill drilling to grow the current 24 million tonne resource into the 30–50 million tonne range. Two more are conducting step-out drilling to expand the resource footprint, while two surface rigs are targeting underexplored regional areas. He emphasised that with capital raising now completed, drilling activity is ramping up again. Investors can expect a steady stream of results from all three workstreams over the coming weeks.

Arrow Exploration Corp CEO Marshall Abbott talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's ongoing drilling operations and its strategy to reach 10,000 barrels of oil per day within the next two to two-and-a-half years. Abbott highlighted Arrow’s activity across the Tapir Block, where two drilling rigs and a service rig are currently operating, targeting proven oil-bearing zones. Abbott described strong performance from horizontal wells drilled into the Ubaque formation and noted that three successful prospects within the Tapir Block have already yielded 32 development locations. "It all comes down to scope and repeatability," he said, adding that their drilling approach—targeting three-way closures up against faults—has consistently yielded positive results. Operational highlights include horizontal drilling at Carrizales Norte and the RCE platform, as well as completions at the Alberta Llanos prospect. Abbott said results from the C7 Carbonera zone are likely to exceed 500 barrels per day, in line with other successful wells. The company is also progressing with new prospects like Mateguafa Oeste, Capullo, and Icaco, supported by recent 3D seismic surveys. With $13.5 million in cash and a $20 million prepay agreement, Arrow is also eyeing acquisition opportunities in Colombia’s Llanos Basin.

Standard Uranium Vice President of Exploration Sean Hillacre joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful completion of three ExoSphere Multiphysics survey grids at the company’s flagship Davidson River Project in Saskatchewan’s southwest Athabasca Basin. The surveys, executed in partnership with Fleet Space Technologies Canada, represent the first-ever deployment of the ExoSphere Multiphysics survey in this prolific uranium district. The program combines real-time 3D Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) with ground gravity data to generate high-resolution, cover-corrected gravity models. Hillacre explained that the integration of these techniques will provide new geophysical data layers capable of detecting lithological variations, hydrothermal alteration zones, and key structural features associated with uranium mineralization. These refined datasets will significantly enhance targeting confidence across the Warrior, Bronco, and Thunderbird conductor corridors, which are set to be the focus of summer 2025 drilling. The advanced imaging and analysis are expected to de-risk exploration by improving the understanding of basement structures and mineralization controls, setting the stage for a technically focused and high-impact drill campaign. #proactiveinvestors #standarduraniumltd #tsxv #stnd #otcqb #sttdf #mining #uranium #sundogproject #UraniumExploration #AthabascaBasin #DavidsonRiver #MiningInnovation #Geophysics #AmbientNoiseTomography #ResourceInvesting #FleetSpace #UraniumDiscovery #MiningNews

Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC (AIM:CMCL, NYSE-A:CMCL, VFEX:CMCL) CEO Mark Learmonth talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s improved production guidance for 2025 and its plans to diversify revenue streams, following its press release on 16 July. The cautionary note concerning forward-looking information in the announcement applies to the content of this video. Learmonth said the company produced just over 21,000oz of gold in the second quarter, slightly ahead of expectations, leading to an upgrade in full-year production guidance to between 75,500oz and 79,500oz.
