Argentina Lithium reports 302,000-Tonne LCE maiden resource at Rincon West with growth potential

Anteris Technologies CEO Wayne Paterson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share a major milestone in the company’s development of DurAVR®, its groundbreaking aortic valve replacement technology designed to transform treatment for patients suffering from aortic stenosis — a fatal heart disease for which no pharmacotherapy options exist. Paterson explained that DurAVR® was designed from the ground up following extensive collaboration with leading cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. The result is a biomimetic, balloon-expandable valve engineered to replicate natural valve anatomy and physiology — a radical advancement over traditional bioprosthetic devices. “We developed one that is physiologically and anatomically correct. It gives you pre-disease mean gradients — that’s been established across 130 patients now,” Paterson said, underscoring the valve’s ability to restore near-normal cardiac function. The company recently secured its first regulatory clearance in Europe, paving the way for broader international approvals in the near term. This clearance allows Anteris to initiate its global PARADIGM pivotal trial, which will evaluate DurAVR® across low-, medium-, and high-risk patient groups. The study will also feature a valve-in-valve registry and target a non-inferiority primary endpoint, aligning with global regulatory pathways for approval. Paterson highlighted that medical device trials carry far less risk than pharmaceutical studies, with Anteris already demonstrating highly consistent patient outcomes. The company has also laid significant groundwork for clinical expansion, including site preparation and an upcoming investigator meeting at the TCT conference in San Francisco. Built on Anteris’ proprietary ADAPT® tissue platform, DurAVR® has shown 20–30% clinical superiority in objective performance metrics. Paterson noted that the company has achieved what physicians have long demanded: clinical superiority combined with balloon-expandable delivery. “This milestone moves us closer to our goal of redefining valve replacement therapy,” Paterson said. “DurAVR® represents the future of aortic valve technology — designed by physicians, built for patients, and proven by data.”

Argentina Lithium CEO Nikolaos Cacos joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil the company’s first-ever Mineral Resource estimate for its Rincon West lithium brine project located in Salta Province, Argentina—a key step forward in advancing the company’s lithium portfolio within the heart of the “Lithium Triangle.” The inaugural resource estimate, completed for the West Block properties—including the Villanoveño II and Rinconcita II mining concessions covering 2,931 hectares—marks a significant milestone for Argentina Lithium. The estimate excludes the Paso de Sico concessions to the north, which add another 3,742.9 hectares of prospective ground at the Rincon Salar, representing future upside for the project. The resource was defined through 14 exploration boreholes totaling 4,823.2 metres of diamond drilling and one production well extending 470 metres. Based on this work, the company reports: Measured and Indicated Resources: 0.15 km³ of brine averaging 296 mg/L lithium, equivalent to 238,000 tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE). Inferred Resources: 0.08 km³ of brine averaging 216 mg/L lithium, equivalent to 64,000 tonnes of LCE. Cacos emphasized that the results demonstrate Rincon West’s potential as a scalable, high-quality lithium asset within one of the world’s most prolific brine districts. “This maiden resource lays a solid foundation for our next phase of development as we work toward building a sustainable, high-value lithium operation capable of generating long-term returns,” he said. As the company moves ahead with Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) studies and evaluates advanced direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies, exploration teams will also target deeper drilling below the current resource boundary—where geologic data indicates open mineralization at depth and significant room for expansion. With a strong technical foundation and growing land position, Argentina Lithium is positioning Rincon West as a key contributor to Argentina’s emerging lithium supply chain, supporting the accelerating global demand for electric vehicle and energy storage materials. #proactiveinvestors #argentinalithium&energycorp #tsxv #lit #otcqx #lilif #proactiveinvestors #argentinalithium&energycorp #tsxv #lit #otcqx #lilif

Faron Pharmaceuticals Limited (AIM:FARN) CEO Dr Juho Jalkanen talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest clinical data presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Barcelona on its lead asset, bexmarilimab, in high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Jalkanen described the data as “truly game changing,” highlighting that combining bexmarilimab with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) yielded an 85% response rate—compared to 40% with standard of care alone. Importantly, the complete remission rate reached 45%, which he described as “one of the highest ever seen in this field.” The company has secured orphan drug designation and received clear FDA guidance supporting the possibility of accelerated approval based on response rate, particularly complete remission. Jalkanen emphasised the importance of normalising blood counts in this patient population, many of whom are severely anaemic and neutropenic. He also discussed new biomarker data showing strong Clever-1 engagement, especially in bone marrow—where disease often hides from traditional chemotherapy. Jalkanen said this highlights bexmarilimab as a “truly disease-modifying agent.” On funding, Jalkanen confirmed Faron is well capitalised into next year, with further financing under exploration to support the upcoming registration trial, including partnering and fundraising initiatives.

First Phosphate Corp. (CSE:PHOS, OTCQX:FRSPF) CEO John Passalacqua talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s newly launched 30,000-metre accelerated drill program and its role in advancing a vertically integrated LFP battery supply chain in Quebec. Passalacqua said the goal is to “define fully the resource” at once to support downstream planning, including a future feasibility study. He confirmed that drilling is fully funded and will run through to April 2026, with a planned break around the winter months to accommodate seasonal conditions. The program involves two drill crews — one from a First Nations group and another from the local region. The CEO said, “We’re just out there, you know, nailing it,” as the company looks to move as quickly as possible. Discussing broader integration plans, Passalacqua explained how this drill campaign links to the company’s goal of producing phosphate concentrate, iron powder, purified phosphoric acid, and eventually lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode active material — all from its Bégin-Lamarche property. He also addressed the geopolitical significance of building a domestic supply chain in light of potential disruptions from China, which has threatened to cut off LFP battery exports.
