Summit Royalties (TSX-V:SUM, OTCQB:SUMMF) CEO Drew Clark talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest acquisition and the strategy behind building a diversified precious metals royalty portfolio. Clark explained that Summit Royalties is a relatively new entrant into the precious metals royalty sector, founded roughly a year ago after acquiring a portfolio of cash-flowing royalties and streams from IAMGOLD. Despite only trading publicly for a few months, the company is already cash-flow positive and actively expanding its portfolio. A key development discussed in the interview is Summit’s acquisition of a 1% NSR royalty on Newmont’s Saddle North deposit, which Clark described as a long-term opportunity for shareholders. The company acquired the royalty in an all-stock transaction valued at C$5 million. Clark highlighted the scale of the asset, noting that the deposit contains nearly 9 million ounces of gold and close to 5 billion pounds of copper, positioning it as a significant long-term project. He said the acquisition adds optionality to Summit’s portfolio while maintaining a focus on assets that generate or are close to generating cash flow. As Clark explained: “Well over half of our net asset value today… is either in production or being built as we speak.” The interview also covers upcoming catalysts across Summit Royalties’ portfolio. These include ramp-ups at producing assets, development work at the Pitangui project in Brazil, and operational milestones at Zancudo, where a mill installation is expected later this year. With multiple operational and development catalysts approaching, Clark indicated that the company will continue pursuing accretive acquisitions while raising awareness among investors.

Northstar Gold Corp CEO Brian Fowler joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss results from a recently completed seven-hole, 1,204-metre Zone 2 definition drill program at the company’s Cam Copper Mine located southeast of Kirkland Lake. Fowler explained the drilling campaign, completed in December, was designed to support preparation of a NI 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate. The work will also contribute to an evaluation of Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction for the Cam Copper Surgical Mining Project being conducted by consortium partner Micon International Limited. Zone 2 definition drilling confirmed the presence of a high-grade polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) system with pronounced down-plunge continuity and metal zonation consistent with a robust Besshi-type deposit. One highlight intercept included 3.05% copper, 5.9 grams per tonne gold, 22.9 grams per tonne silver and 0.45% molybdenum over 3.07 metres in drill hole CC-25-14, from 163.05 to 166.12 metres. This intercept is located approximately 50 metres down plunge from a previously reported high-grade intersection of 14.8% copper over 2.45 metres in hole CC-23-03. The results confirm a polymetallic copper-gold-silver-molybdenum VMS system that appears to increase in grade and thickness with depth, highlighting strong potential to expand the Zone 2 mineralized corridor. Infill drilling also indicates a steeply plunging feeder system characterized by stacked sulphide lenses and preserved metal zonation. Northstar plans to update the three-dimensional geological model of the Cam Copper system to refine exploration targets along the feeder corridor. The company also intends to conduct step-out drilling along the down-plunge extension of Zone 2 to further test the system’s expansion potential. #proactiveinvestors #northstargoldcorp #cse #nsg #MiningNews #GoldDiscovery #CopperExploration #MillerProperty #VMSDeposit #CopperGoldSilver #PolymetallicMinerals #MiningUpdate #DrillResults #Zone2Expansion #ExplorationGrowth #NI43101 #MineralResources #FeederSystem #HighGradeCopper #MiningExploration #KirklandLake

Pineapple Financial Inc CEO Shubha Dasgupta joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s comprehensive operational restructuring as part of its 2026 Core Mortgage Platform strategy. Dasgupta explained that the structural reset is designed to materially reduce Pineapple’s fixed cost base while strengthening operating leverage as the company enters its next phase of growth. To date, approximately $1.33 million (C$1.8 million) in annualized cost savings have already been implemented and are expected to be reflected in the company’s run-rate by March 31, 2026. The remaining savings are currently being executed. In total, the restructuring initiatives are expected to reduce annual operating expenses by more than $2.5 million (C$3.4 million). As part of the transformation, Pineapple is shifting toward a leaner, AI-enabled operating model. This includes a reduction of more than 60% of total headcount, alongside reductions across professional services, software costs, marketing expenditures, and other operating expenses. Management described the initiative as a permanent structural reset of the company’s cost base. A central element of the strategy is the integration of artificial intelligence across key business functions. Pineapple has deployed AI systems to automate and enhance processes that were previously handled through traditional staffing structures, including workflow automation, data analysis and reporting, and both customer and agent engagement. By embedding AI directly into its operational infrastructure, the company believes it can maintain platform capability and scalability while significantly lowering its long-term cost structure. #proactiveinvestors #PineappleFinancial #nyseamerican #papl #Fintech #MortgageTech #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalTransformation #CostOptimization #BusinessStrategy #TechInnovation #FinancialServices

Faron Pharmaceuticals Limited (AIM:FARN) CEO Dr Juho Jalkanen talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s planned €40 million rights offering and the next development stage for its lead immunotherapy candidate, bexmarilimab. Jalkanen explained that the planned capital raise comes at what he described as a pivotal stage for the company. The AIM and Nasdaq-listed Finnish biotech has completed an open-label phase I/II trial evaluating bexmarilimab in patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), which produced encouraging results. The company is now preparing to advance the program into a blinded, randomised phase II trial, considered the gold standard in pharmaceutical development. Jalkanen highlighted that the main goal of the upcoming study is to measure complete remission rates among patients receiving the treatment. He explained that the key milestone will arrive relatively quickly once patients are enrolled. As he noted, “the absolute key and primary goal of the study is the complete remission rate readout… usually comes after three or so months after patients have gone on the drug.” The CEO also emphasised the broader potential of bexmarilimab beyond MDS. According to Jalkanen, strong data from the earlier trial has generated significant interest among physicians, who are now initiating investigator-led studies exploring the therapy across multiple cancer types and in combination treatments. Funding from the proposed raise is expected to extend Faron Pharmaceuticals’ cash runway into late 2027, supporting the randomised phase II study while additional investigator-initiated trials generate data in the meantime. Jalkanen said this approach should create a steady flow of clinical updates for investors as the program progresses.

ACG Metals Ltd (LSE:ACG, OTC:ACGAF) Chairman and CEO Artem Volynets talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about progress at the company’s Gediktepe project in Turkey, alongside Vice President of Projects Graeme Rapley. The discussion focused on construction progress, the impact of geopolitical volatility on operations, and the company’s production outlook as it advances the Sulphide Expansion. Volynets explained that despite heightened geopolitical concerns in global markets, operations at Gediktepe have not been affected. The project is located in Western Turkey, far from regional tensions, allowing the company to continue development without disruption. He noted that the company is continuing to produce and generate cash flow while building out the Sulphide Project. According to Volynets, “we have effectively zero impact from current geopolitics… for us, it's business as usual.” Rapley provided an update on construction progress at the site, highlighting the arrival of the final major piece of equipment for the mill. With the mill now positioned on its foundations, teams are progressing with structural steel installation and continuing the assembly of key processing infrastructure, including flotation cells and several thickeners. The Sulphide Project remains on time and on budget, with production in the middle of this year. During the first half of the year, the company is producing gold and silver doré from oxide ore previously mined, supporting strong margins. Once the flotation plant comes online, the operation will transition to producing copper and zinc concentrates with gold and silver by-products. Volynets reiterated the company’s production guidance for the year of 20,000 to 22,000 tonnes of copper equivalent, with life-of-mine average production expected to reach 20,000 to 25,000 tonnes annually.

1911 Gold Corp (TSX-V:AUMB, OTCQB:AUMBF, FRA:2KY) CEO Shaun Heinrichs talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest drilling results at the company’s True North project and what they mean for plans to restart mining operations. Heinrichs explained that the underground drill program, which began in the fall, has already completed more than 10,000 metres of drilling and is now beginning to deliver a steady stream of assay results. The drilling focused on two key target areas that could support bulk sampling and test mining activities planned for 2026. The results helped confirm the company’s geological model while also tightening drill spacing to improve resource confidence. Heinrichs noted that the program was designed to move parts of the resource toward a higher confidence classification, saying the company aimed to reduce drill spacing to around 12–15 metres compared with the typical 30-metre spacing used for indicated resources. He also highlighted encouraging results at the Hinge vein, where the company observed wider mineralized zones than expected in some areas. Heinrichs said the work has provided a solid base for moving ahead with development at the Hinge and L10 targets. “We were very surprised, pleasantly surprised and happy, obviously, to find areas that were wider than what was in the previous model,” Heinrichs told Proactive. Looking ahead, the company expects to begin underground development at L10 within the coming weeks before shifting focus to the Hinge area. Initial milestones investors should watch include the first underground blasting at the True North mine in roughly eight years, followed by the first stopes being mined later in the year as part of bulk sampling and early test mining activities. These steps are intended to support a gradual ramp-up toward a planned full mine restart in 2027 while generating gold ounces during the current year.

AmeriTrust Financial Technologies Inc (TSX-V:AMT, OTCQB:AMTFF) CEO Jeff Morgan talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s strategy to scale used vehicle leasing across the United States and how proprietary fintech technology could help unlock a major opportunity in automotive finance. Morgan, a 33-year veteran of the automotive leasing industry based in Fort Worth, Texas, explained that AmeriTrust is aiming to address a major gap in the market. While leasing represents roughly 25% of financed new vehicles in the United States, the used vehicle leasing segment accounts for only about 1% of the market. AmeriTrust operates a finance company in the United States focused on expanding access to leasing for used vehicles through dealer partnerships nationwide. The company has developed technology designed to convert retail financing applications into lease structures, simplifying the process for dealerships. Morgan said the platform allows dealers with limited leasing expertise to offer leasing options confidently. “Our technology takes that retail application and converts it to a lease on their behalf,” Morgan explained, adding that the system also pre-fills documents and contracts for the dealership using the customer’s application data. The CEO also highlighted affordability as a key driver of demand, particularly as living costs have risen in the United States since the pandemic. AmeriTrust’s leasing structure can reduce monthly payments by $25 to $125 compared with traditional retail auto loans, according to Morgan. Looking ahead to 2026, Morgan said the company intends to pursue steady growth while focusing on vehicles that are five years old or newer and still within manufacturer warranty periods. With the broader automotive finance sector representing a trillion-dollar market, Morgan believes even modest market penetration could represent significant value creation.
