Light Science CEO on £300k University glasshouse contract and maintenance upside

Cuentas CEO Shalom Arik Maimon joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company’s subsidiary, World Mobile Media Group (WMMG), is launching a next-generation decentralized media platform aimed at transforming how digital content is created, distributed, and monetized. The WMMG platform is designed as a mobile-first, decentralized entertainment ecosystem that brings together premium content, global distribution, and direct-to-consumer monetization. It will feature a curated mix of licensed and original programming, including live streaming events, music performances, and creator-driven content, all delivered through an interactive and community-powered user experience. Unlike traditional streaming services, WMMG is built to prioritize creator empowerment. The platform enables content creators to retain ownership of their work while participating directly in revenue generation, offering greater transparency and control over monetization. At the same time, audiences are given new ways to engage with content and creators, fostering deeper connections and more dynamic digital communities. The launch marks a significant step in Cuentas’ strategic expansion into digital media and next-generation entertainment. By integrating decentralized technologies with its own distribution infrastructure, WMMG aims to create a scalable ecosystem that enhances global access to premium content while redefining how creators are compensated. Looking ahead, the company plans to provide additional updates on the platform’s rollout, including content partnerships and international market expansion, as it works to establish WMMG as a disruptive force in the evolving digital media landscape. #proactiveinvestors #cuentasinc #otcqb #cuen #shalomarikmaimon #Cuentas #WMMG #DigitalMedia #Streaming #ContentCreators #Web3 #Decentralization #Entertainment #Innovation #MediaTech

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful completion of the company’s infill drill program at its Bégin-Lamarche property in Saguenay–Lac-St-Jean, Quebec. Passalacqua said the drilling campaign, which began in October 2025, confirmed extensive and continuous phosphate mineralization across the existing resource horizon. The program also led to the discovery of two new phosphate intersections in both the Northern and Southern Zones, located on the eastern extension of the known mineralized area—highlighting the project’s potential for further expansion. In response to these encouraging results, the company expanded its original 30,000-metre drill program by an additional 10,000 metres. The expanded drilling was designed to better define the newly identified zones and to test for deeper mineralization across multiple areas within both the Northern and Southern Zones. In total, approximately 40,000 metres of drilling have now been completed. First Phosphate is currently processing the full dataset, with results expected to support an updated geological model for the Bégin-Lamarche property in the coming weeks. This updated model is anticipated to enhance the company’s understanding of the scale, continuity, and grade distribution of the deposit. In addition to the operational update, the company announced a key leadership transition. Gilles Laverdiere will retire as Chief Geologist after an impressive 48-year career in the mining industry. He will be succeeded by Steeve Lavoie, P.Geo., who brings more than 20 years of mineral exploration experience, including recent work with Agnico Eagle Mines. Lavoie joined First Phosphate in November 2025 and is expected to play a key role in advancing the company’s exploration strategy moving forward. The completion of this expanded drill program and the strengthening of the technical team position First Phosphate to advance Bégin-Lamarche as a significant phosphate asset within Quebec’s growing critical minerals sector. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #BeginLamarche #QuebecMining #Phosphate #CriticalMinerals #DrillResults #MineralExploration #ResourceExpansion #SaguenayLacStJean #MiningNews #BatteryMaterials #Fertilizer #Geology #ExplorationSuccess

Rainbow Rare Earths Ltd (LSE:RBW, OTC:RBWRF, FRA:RR1) CEO George Bennett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s £11.1 million fundraising and the strategic significance of bringing Traxys on board as a partner linked to the US government’s Project Vault initiative. Bennett explained how this development positions Rainbow as “a major player in the rare earths market” outside China, highlighting the company’s focus on extracting rare earth elements from phosphogypsum waste residues rather than traditional mining. This approach underpins two key assets: the Phalaborwa Project in South Africa and the Uberaba Project in Brazil. He outlined that the newly secured funding provides a strong financial runway, enabling Rainbow to complete a definitive feasibility study at Phalaborwa by the end of 2026, alongside a pre-feasibility study at Uberaba in partnership with Mosaic. These milestones are expected to be critical value drivers for shareholders. Bennett also emphasised the company’s cost advantage, noting that removing mining and processing steps could make Rainbow one of the lowest-cost producers of separated rare earth oxides. He added that both projects are targeting relatively near-term production, with Phalaborwa expected online in 2029 and Uberaba in 2030. The interview also touches on the strategic opportunity presented by US efforts to build critical mineral stockpiles, positioning Rainbow within a rapidly evolving global supply chain landscape.

Digitalbox PLC (AIM:DBOX, FRA:RLXB) CEO James Carter talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s 2025 results, highlighting a year of growth despite a mixed media market backdrop. Carter explained that Digitalbox expanded its portfolio to ten operating assets through its “verticals program,” launching new products in targeted editorial spaces. The company delivered a 7% increase in revenue, outperforming broader market trends, while adjusted EBITDA rose by 10%. He noted that social media remains a key driver, with Digitalbox growing its total following by 31% to approximately 27 million users.

Poolbeg Pharma PLC (AIM:POLB, OTC:POLBF, FRA:POLBF) CEO Jeremy Skillington talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company securing its first national patent for POLB-001 targeting cancer immunotherapy-induced cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Skillington explained that the patent, granted by IP Australia, covers the use of p38 MAPK inhibitors, including POLB-001, to prevent and treat CRS.

Maxus Mining CEO Scott Walters joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s rapid growth and strategic focus on critical minerals exploration in British Columbia, with a particular emphasis on antimony. Formed in late 2024 with a clear mandate to target critical minerals, Maxus Mining has quickly assembled a substantial land package of approximately 37,000 acres. A significant portion of this portfolio is dedicated to antimony, now the company’s primary exploration focus. Walters emphasized, “the main focus of the company right now… is exploring our antimony properties.” The company’s flagship Alps Alturas property is a standout due to its historical production and high-grade potential. Past mining at the site delivered exceptionally strong grades, with some samples reaching as high as 69.5% antimony. Securing 100% ownership of the asset positions Alps Alturas as the cornerstone of the company’s exploration strategy moving forward. Looking ahead to 2026, Maxus Mining is preparing for an active field season, including airborne VTEM surveys and a planned drill program exceeding 2,000 metres. With permits in hand and approximately $4 million allocated to exploration, the company is focused on defining an economic antimony resource. Walters also highlighted the growing importance of antimony as a critical mineral, noting that supply constraints and rising demand in defense and industrial applications are driving market interest. With strong infrastructure access and a strategic North American position, Maxus Mining aims to become a reliable upstream supplier of high-grade antimony, supporting both domestic and allied critical mineral needs. #proactiveinvestors #maxusmininginc #cse #maxm #otcqb #mxmgf #scottwalters #Antimony #CriticalMinerals #Mining #BritishColumbia #Exploration #ResourceDevelopment #Metals #JuniorMining #Canada

We’re really AI ready, and our competitors are generally not ready,” underlining the company’s preparedness to capitalise on AI-driven opportunities. The discussion also covered how Dexibit fits into Accesso’s broader strategy, not just as a standalone product but as a tool to enhance customer retention and win new business. Brown emphasised that the technology could act as a key differentiator in the market, helping the company stay ahead of competitors. Looking ahead, Accesso is targeting revenue growth in the range of 7–9%, supported by product innovation, payments integration, and continued cost efficiencies driven by AI. Brown also addressed operations in the Middle East, noting that key projects are progressing despite regional uncertainty, and spoke about leadership succession planning to ensure continuity.

The company is positioning itself as a turnkey solutions provider in the AgTech sector. Deacon highlighted the competitive advantage of offering an integrated package, stating, “what we're providing is that whole turnkey package for growers, farmers who they can become reliant on.” He added that this approach differentiates the company from competitors that focus on individual components such as lighting or sensors. The contract is also expected to act as a reference site, supporting further growth across the UK and Europe. Deacon pointed to previous projects delivering measurable revenue uplift and emphasised increasing demand as growers seek to improve efficiency amid rising input costs. He also addressed broader industry drivers, including food security concerns and geopolitical pressures impacting supply chains, which are accelerating demand for localised and technology-enabled food production.

Gaming Realms PLC (LSE:GMR, OTCQX:PSDMF, FRA:RNE1) CEO Mark Segal talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s strong financial performance and growth strategy, highlighting the continued momentum of its high-margin licensing business and the global expansion of its Slingo IP. Segal said the company delivered a “really good start to the year,” with licensing revenue up 10% on a constant currency basis. He explained that operational leverage is being driven by new partnerships, entry into new markets, and the ongoing success of its Slingo games. The company achieved record performance in 2025, supported by what Segal described as “probably our best launch of a Slingo game in history.” North America remains a key growth driver, accounting for 63% of licensing revenue. Gaming Realms is now active in six US states and recently secured a licence in Alberta, Canada. Segal pointed to market research suggesting the region could grow by more than 60% over the next few years, even without further regulatory expansion, adding that new state openings could significantly increase that opportunity. The company is also expanding beyond Slingo with the launch of its Lucky Lunar Studio, integrating Slingo mechanics into traditional slot games to broaden its audience and monetisation potential. At the same time, Gaming Realms continues to generate strong cash flow, enabling share buybacks and potential future acquisitions of complementary IP. Looking ahead, Segal noted that while new UK taxes may impact domestic revenues, strong international growth is expected to offset this.
