Major investment: AuKing’s $5M earn-in deal

Pinnacle Silver & Gold Corp (TSX-V:PINN, OTCQB:NRGOF) president and CEO Robert Archer talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest acquisition, the El Potrero mine in Mexico. Archer explained that the company is focused on fast-tracking the project towards production within two to three years, aiming to build the business through cash flow rather than relying on external markets. El Potrero was previously in production in the late 1980s, with existing underground workings and a 100-ton-per-day processing plant. Archer highlighted that much of the infrastructure remains in place, which should help streamline redevelopment efforts at a relatively low cost. The company plans to rehabilitate the underground workings, conduct systematic sampling, and commence drilling to establish a resource base sufficient to restart production. On the financial side, Pinnacle Silver recently raised $800,000 in a private placement, with plans to secure up to $2–$3 million over the next few years to fully fund the restart. Archer also shared insights from the PDAC conference, noting positive sentiment around metals despite broader economic uncertainties. The company expects a strong news flow this year as exploration and development efforts accelerate. For more updates, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) Plc (AIM:EOG) CEO Will Holland talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's submission of a planning application for the Cloughton appraisal well in Yorkshire. The application seeks approval to drill and test a gas field originally discovered in 1986. Holland explained that advancements in technology and improved gas prices now make it viable to extract gas at commercial rates. The appraisal well will determine the feasibility of full-field development. He also discussed the launch of a dedicated community engagement website, designed to provide local stakeholders with transparent information, including independent environmental and regulatory reports. Holland emphasised that the project follows strict UK regulations and aims to minimise environmental impact. Addressing concerns, he clarified that fracking is not involved, citing confirmation from Energy Minister Michael Shanks. He also noted that increased heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic would be minimal, at around 1% during operations. Holland stressed the project's potential benefits, including job creation and reducing the UK's reliance on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG). “If you're concerned about the environment, you should be supporting domestic gas production. And that's exactly what this is,” he stated. For more interviews with industry leaders, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

West Cobar Metals Ltd (ASX:WC1) managing director Matt Szwedzicki talked with Proactive's Jonathan Jackson about the company’s latest metallurgical results from the Bulla Park project. Early-stage testing has delivered high-grade copper, silver, and antimony concentrates with strong recoveries. Szwedzicki described the initial float test results as amazing. A key challenge at Bulla Park has been the presence of tetrahedrite, a less common mineral in Australia. However, recent testing has demonstrated successful separation and recovery processes. The company has now achieved 88% extraction of antimony, a commodity that has surged in value due to reduced exports from China. Szwedzicki also discussed West Cobar’s broader strategy, including plans to optimise metallurgical processes, assess a mineral resource estimate, and advance drilling at Bulla Park. Beyond this, the company is progressing its Salazar project in Western Australia, which holds rare earths, scandium, and alumina resources. The recent acquisition of the Mystique Gold Project further strengthens West Cobar’s portfolio, adding a promising gold exploration target. Stay tuned for more updates from West Cobar Metals.

Bitwise Asset Management European head Bradley Duke talked with Proactive about Bitcoin’s recent price movements and the company’s latest product launch. Duke discussed the volatility of Bitcoin, noting both its tailwinds—such as increased demand from corporate investors and national reserves—and the headwinds, including geopolitical uncertainties. He pointed out that institutional investors are turning instead to alternative safe-haven assets like gold. The conversation then shifted to Bitwise’s latest product, Bitwise Diaman Bitcoin & Gold ETP (BTCG), which launched today on Euronext in Paris and Amsterdam. Duke explained that the product is a collaboration with Diaman Partners, part of asset manager Azimut. The ETP dynamically allocates between Bitcoin and gold based on an index that considers drawdowns and recovery rates. "We’ve looked at the performance of this index versus the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and gold alone, and it has outperformed considerably," said Duke. He emphasised that while past performance is no guarantee of future results, the product arrives at a time when institutions are actively seeking alternative safe-haven assets.

Wedgemount Resources CEO Mark Vanry joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update to Proactive on the company's field activities at its recently acquired Huggy Assets. After weather-related delays, Wedgemount has full operations going, including pumping, surface facility optimization, maintenance, chemical treatments, and well workovers. The company's primary focus remains on the Echo and Novice operational areas, where five additional wells have been brought back online. These wells had been inactive for a significant period before Wedgemount's acquisition. Historical initial production (IP) rates for these wells ranged from 15 to 65 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd). Vanry noted that previous successful chemical stimulations on Wedgemount’s Willowbend leases resulted in improved well performance. The company expects similar or better results from workovers and chemical treatments at Huggy, potentially exceeding the original IP rates. Looking ahead, Wedgemount has over 100 additional wells that have yet to undergo chemical stimulation, presenting significant production upside over the next two years. #proactiveinvestors #westmountreosurcescorp #cse #wdgy #otcqb #wdgrf #OilProduction #TexasEnergy #EnergyInvesting #OilandGas #MarkVanry #ProactiveInvestors #EnergyStocks #Investing #OilExploration
