Century Lithium plans standalone chloralkali plant to fill western US supply gap

Arizona Eagle Mining Corp CEO Kevin Reid joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s McCabe high-grade gold and silver project in Arizona, highlighting what he believes could be a transformational opportunity built around an extensive historic mining operation with significant existing infrastructure. Reid explained that the McCabe Mine was previously operated until the early 1990s, when mining giant BHP shut down operations during a period when gold prices were hovering around US$300 per ounce. The property subsequently remained in private hands for nearly four decades before Arizona Eagle acquired the asset and began assembling a much larger district-scale land package around it. Today, the company controls nearly 5,000 acres in the region, including more than 400 acres of patented private land that hosts 11 historic producing gold and silver mines, along with over 4,000 acres of surrounding Bureau of Land Management claims. Reid believes this consolidated land position provides substantial exploration and development potential beyond the original McCabe Mine footprint. One of the most significant discoveries made since acquiring the project came during a recent underground assessment. Using a submersible camera system, Arizona Eagle determined that the mine’s concrete-lined production shaft extends significantly deeper than previously documented. Historical records indicated a depth of approximately 1,450 feet, but the company confirmed the shaft actually reaches roughly 1,650 feet. According to Reid, this finding further enhances the value of the project’s existing infrastructure, which includes a 15-foot-wide production shaft, approximately five kilometres of underground workings and a ventilation raise located roughly 1,000 feet from the main shaft. He estimates the replacement cost of this infrastructure alone could exceed US$50 million in today’s market. Following its public listing, Arizona Eagle completed a seven-hole Phase 1 surface drilling program that generated encouraging results and led to what Reid described as several new discoveries. However, he noted that the extensive underground workings present challenges for surface drilling, including the potential to lose drill holes into historic mine voids. As a result, the company’s strategic focus has shifted toward evaluating the feasibility of regaining underground access. Reid believes that drilling from underground stations could dramatically improve efficiency, reducing drilling costs to approximately one-tenth of comparable surface programs while allowing the company to complete 50 to 70 drill holes during a single campaign instead of the seven holes completed in the initial surface program. The project also benefits from what Reid describes as a highly favourable permitting environment. The core assets are situated on patented private land adjacent to a paved highway, eliminating many of the surface-disturbance challenges often associated with exploration projects on federal lands. The property has access to water, faces no known species or Indigenous land-use constraints on its primary development areas, and is located just 45 minutes from Prescott, Arizona, providing access to skilled labour and infrastructure. Reid believes the combination of historic production, existing underground infrastructure, district-scale exploration potential and favourable permitting conditions positions McCabe as a unique redevelopment opportunity in one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions in the United States. #proactiveinvestors #americaneagleminingcorp #tsxv #ae #mining #GoldMining #SilverMining #McCabeProject #ArizonaMining #GoldExploration #MiningStocks #JuniorMining #HighGradeGold #ResourceDevelopment #PreciousMetals #MiningInfrastructure #YavapaiCounty #ExplorationNews

Century Lithium CEO Bill Willoughby joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s plans to develop a commercial-scale chlor-alkali (CA) plant designed to support both the growing critical minerals supply chain across the Western United States and the future development of its Angel Island Lithium Project in Nevada. Willoughby said the proposed facility represents a strategic opportunity to create an independent, revenue-generating business while strengthening domestic supply chains for key industrial chemicals that are essential to lithium processing, rare earth separation and advanced materials production. Chlor-alkali products, including chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, are critical reagents used throughout the battery metals and critical minerals industries. Beyond their role in lithium extraction and refining, these chemicals are also used extensively in rare earth processing, precious metals production, water treatment, manufacturing and a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. The proposed plant would utilize sodium chloride, water and electricity to produce these essential chemicals at an initial targeted production rate of 300 short tons per day of chlorine. The facility is being designed with scalability in mind, allowing production capacity to potentially double to 600 short tons per day depending on regional demand and future requirements from the Angel Island project. A significant validation of the concept has already emerged through customer interest. Century Lithium has entered into eight non-binding memoranda of understanding with third-party companies across multiple industrial and chemical sectors. Collectively, these potential offtake agreements could account for the entire initial production capacity of the proposed plant, demonstrating strong market demand for domestically produced chlor-alkali products. Willoughby emphasized that the company continues to engage with additional prospective customers as it advances commercial discussions and evaluates long-term supply agreements. To identify the optimal location for the facility, Century Lithium conducted an extensive review of candidate sites in Nevada and Utah. The evaluation considered key factors including access to feedstock supplies, electrical power availability, rail infrastructure, proximity to customers, land ownership considerations and permitting requirements. On timeline, Willoughby said the company is targeting a construction decision within under a year, and expects permitting to be relatively straightforward given the use of an existing infrastructure site rather than a greenfield federal land location. #proactiveinvestors #centurylithiumcorp #tsxv #lce #otcqx #cydvf #mining #AngelIsland #LithiumProject #NevadaMining NevadaMining #BatteryMaterials #CriticalMinerals #EnergyTransition #EVBatteries #MiningNews #ResourceInvesting

American Rare Earths Chief Development Officer Andrew Conover joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s first certified assay results from the initial six HQ core holes completed as part of its 2026 Feasibility Study drilling program at the Cowboy State Mine within the Red Mountain Project in Wyoming. Conover said the results continue to validate the strength and continuity of the rare earth mineralization at Red Mountain, with broad zones of near-surface mineralization confirmed across the first six holes. The assays returned a pooled average grade of 3,497 parts per million (ppm) Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO), significantly above the project’s resource cut-off grade of 1,000 ppm TREO. Among the highlights, drill hole HC26-RM051 delivered a maximum single-sample assay of 9,084 ppm TREO over a 3.02-metre interval, underscoring the presence of high-grade mineralization within the deposit. Approximately 93% of all certified sampled intervals exceeded the company’s established resource cut-off grade, further supporting the consistency and scale of the mineralized system. Across 386 geological assay intervals analyzed to date, TREO grades averaged 3,497 ppm, with a median grade of 3,879 ppm. Conover noted that the results align closely with the existing Cowboy State Mine geological model and Mineral Resource Estimate, providing additional confidence in the deposit’s size, grade distribution and potential economic viability. The drilling program is a key component of the company’s ongoing feasibility study work, which is designed to support future development decisions and enhance resource confidence. With certified assay results now received from six of the planned 18 HQ core holes, American Rare Earths expects additional assay data from the remaining 12 holes as laboratory processing and technical reviews continue. The company’s geological team is integrating the new drilling data with detailed geological logging, lithological interpretations and the existing resource model to refine its understanding of the deposit. The expanded dataset is expected to play an important role in resource classification work, geological modelling and broader feasibility study activities. American Rare Earths said further results will be released as assays become available and quality assurance reviews are completed, with the company continuing to advance Red Mountain as one of North America’s most significant emerging rare earth development projects. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearthslimited #asx #arr #otcqx #arrnf #adr #amrry #wyomingrareinc #RareEarths #CriticalMinerals #RedMountain #CowboyStateMine #TREO #Mining #ResourceDevelopment #EnergyTransition #FeasibilityStudy #DrillingResults #CleanEnergy #WyomingMining #CriticalMaterials

Power Metallic Mines CEO Terry Lynch joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the first assay results from the company’s Summer 2026 drilling campaign at its flagship Lion discovery, highlighting evidence that the high-grade polymetallic deposit continues well beyond the limits of the current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). Lynch explained that drilling prior to the summer program was largely focused on increasing drill density within the existing resource area to improve confidence in the recently announced MRE. The goal was to upgrade much of the deposit into the Indicated category while refining the geological model, particularly within the portion of the deposit that could potentially support future open-pit development. The company has now shifted its attention toward exploration and expansion, with widely spaced drilling targeting both geophysical anomalies and deeper extensions of the Lion deposit. The latest results mark the first assays returned from that deep-drilling strategy. A major highlight came from hole PML-26-125, which represents the deepest assay-confirmed intersection ever reported at Lion, reaching nearly 800 metres vertical depth. The hole was specifically designed to test the projected plunge of the mineralized system approximately 150 metres below the previous deepest significant intercept. The results confirmed the presence of 5.7 metres of massive to semi-massive copper sulphide mineralization, demonstrating that the Lion system remains robust at depth and extends well beyond the current resource boundary. For comparison, the previous deepest drill hole through the core of the Lion shoot, PML-25-002, intersected 1.95 metres grading 7.95% copper equivalent at approximately 610 metres vertical depth. The new intercept significantly expands the known vertical extent of the deposit and strengthens the case for further resource growth. Additional drilling has also supported the interpretation of a continuing mineralized plunge. Hole PML-26-121a targeted the western side of the projected Lion trend at roughly 650 metres vertical depth and intersected disseminated to semi-massive copper sulphides. Meanwhile, hole PML-26-128 tested the eastern side of the system at nearly 900 metres vertical depth and encountered disseminated sulphides and massive copper sulphide veinlets. Assay results from that hole remain pending. Lynch said the combined results from all three holes provide compelling evidence that the Lion deposit remains open at depth and has not yet been fully defined. The company believes these intersections represent an important step toward demonstrating the scale potential of the system and could ultimately contribute to a significantly larger resource footprint. #proactiveinvestors #powernickelinc #tsxv #pnpn #otcqb #cmetf #nickel #LionDeposit #Copper #CopperMining #CriticalMinerals #Polymetallic #MiningExploration #DrillingResults #ResourceExpansion #MineralDiscovery #BaseMetals #MiningStocks #JuniorMining

Lightning Minerals Ltd (ASX:L1M, FRA:YZ1) managing director Troy Brice spoke with Proactive's Stpehen Gunnion about the expanding tungsten system at the company's Warby Project in North Queensland, where recent exploration has significantly increased the interpreted scale of mineralisation. Brice said work using modern exploration techniques is revealing a broader mineralised system extending beyond the original interpretation and historical workings. Lightning Minerals has assessed the system at around 4.3 square kilometres so far, while the wider prospective granite contact extends for approximately 13 kilometres. Recent rock-chip sampling has also returned encouraging tungsten results, with five of six new samples grading above 1% tungsten and a peak of 5.5%. Brice highlighted quartz-hosted wolframite as well as scheelite identified in the wall rock, supporting the case for a strong tungsten orebody at Warby. "Every time we touch Warby, we find more," he said, adding that each phase of work is strengthening and expanding the geological model. Phase 3 exploration is now underway, with Lightning Minerals planning a further 270 infill and extended-line geochemical samples. Around 170 soil samples had already been dispatched to laboratories in Townsville at the time of the interview, with roughly another 100 expected to follow. The company is working towards refining its anomalies and identifying a maiden drill target early in the new year, with exploration also identifying tin, gold and copper alongside tungsten, raising the potential for a broader polymetallic system.

Dune Oil CEO Scott Lower joined Steve Darling from Proactive to to provide a corporate update, discussing the company's recent financing success, its transition to a new OTCQB trading symbol and the next phase of development at its M47 oil exploration project. Lower said Dune Oil has raised more than $3 million this year, providing the capital needed to advance key project milestones and strengthen the company's position as it pursues exploration opportunities within its flagship M47 asset. A significant recent milestone was the completion of the company's OTCQB symbol change to DUNXF, aligning its U.S. trading symbol with both the company's name and its Canadian market presence. Lower described the move as the final step in Dune Oil's corporate transformation and an important measure to improve visibility and accessibility for U.S. investors. The company's shares continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol DUNE, while its Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing under Z62 remains unchanged. Discussing the M47 project, Lower highlighted the substantial amount of work already completed on the asset prior to Dune Oil's involvement. He noted that more than $50 million has previously been invested in the project, including three rounds of seismic surveys and the drilling of two wells, providing a strong technical foundation for future development. According to Lower, the funds raised this year are being directed primarily toward completing the project's ongoing seismic program. The enhanced seismic work is expected to further define the property's resource potential and support advancement of two prospective fields identified within the project area. Lower emphasized that the company believes the project's economics have become increasingly attractive amid the stronger oil price environment. He noted that when Dune Oil initially evaluated the opportunity, oil prices were below US$70 per barrel, yet the project still demonstrated compelling economics. With oil prices now exceeding US$100 per barrel, Lower said the potential returns have become even more attractive, helping drive increased investor interest in the company and the broader energy sector. He also pointed to strong performance across the exploration and production industry, noting that the E&P sector has gained more than 50% year-to-date, reflecting renewed investor confidence in energy markets. Looking ahead, Lower said that once the current financing program is fully completed, Dune Oil expects to significantly accelerate its work program. The company remains focused on advancing seismic interpretation, refining drilling targets and positioning the M47 project for its next phase of development. Lower said the combination of a strengthened balance sheet, improved market visibility through the OTCQB listing and continued progress at M47 provides a solid platform for future growth and value creation. #proactiveinvestors #trillionenergyinternational #cse #tcf #otcqb #trlef #OilAndGas #EnergyStocks #OilExploration #M47Project #EnergyInvestment #SmallCapStocks #ResourceStocks #OilMarkets #EnergySector #CSE #JuniorEnergy #ProactiveInvestors

Purepoint Uranium Group (PTU) CEO Chris Frostad tells Proactive that the first drill hole at the Q24 zone on its Dorado project returned 7.4 meters of radioactivity at 8,760 counts per second, with peaks reaching 50,000 counts per second. Frostad describes the result as highly significant given it came from the very first hole drilled in that zone. The Q24 zone is separate from both the Nova and Q23 targets within the broader Dorado project, which Purepoint holds in partnership with ISO Energy across approximately 100,000 hectares in the Athabasca Basin. Frostad highlights that the radioactivity was found at the unconformity, a classic uranium-bearing setting, and that chalcopyrite was identified beneath it — an indicator of the hydrothermal activity that would have mobilized uranium through the area. Assays from the summer drill program are still pending. Frostad says the company is also processing 3D mobile MT geophysical surveys conducted across the entire project over the summer, and will spend the next one to two months interpreting that data alongside drill results. The company does not plan to return to the site with a drill until January, but Frostad says investors should expect a series of updates before then, covering the interpretation of results, planned targets, and the budget being agreed with partner ISO Energy for next year's program. #PurepointUranium #PTU #uranium #AthabascaBasin #Canada #mining #juniorminers #resourcestocks #commodities #investing
