    Almasar Minerals targets Saudi gold and copper frontier ahead of ASX IPO

    Almasar Minerals CEO Dr Brock Salier joined Proactive to discuss the company's exploration strategy in Saudi Arabia, its investment case and a planned ASX IPO targeted for mid-August. Salier explained that Almasar has built a portfolio of five exploration licences covering around 420km², targeting geological settings the company believes are comparable with major mineral belts across Egypt, Sudan and Eritrea. The approach combines regional geological analysis, government datasets and field reconnaissance to prioritise targets across both gold and copper opportunities. Funds from the planned capital raise will support a two-year exploration programme starting with cost-effective techniques before accelerating expenditure on promising discoveries. "We want to get out there with the ground magnetics, the auger rigs, the very quick RC drilling, the soil sampling and almost brute force our way through," Salier said. The interview also covered the significance of the southern licence cluster, the potential of the northern licence, and why Almasar selected the ASX for its listing, with the roadshow process already underway ahead of a mid-August trading debut.

    TNR Gold chair: Altius, McEwen, Ganfeng, Lundin and BHP support royalty-focused growth strategy

    TNR Gold Corp (TSX-V:TNR, FRA:TNW, OTC:TRRXF) executive chairman Kirill Klip joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's normal course issuer bid, its royalty strategy and progress across its portfolio. Klip said the share buyback reflects management's view that TNR's price doesn't fully reflect underlying value, particularly following a strategic investment by Canadian royalty giant Altius, which he described as an important validation of the portfolio and strategy following extensive due diligence. He also outlined longer-term ambitions to introduce a dividend policy once regulatory requirements are met. On the portfolio, Klip highlighted Ganfeng Lithium's Mariana project exporting its first lithium chloride as a pivotal milestone. "We are transforming and basically graduating from years of being a project-generated junior mining company to potentially cash flow generation royalty company," he said. He also covered McEwen Copper's Los Azules copper project, where ongoing financing and inclusion in Argentina's RIGI investment incentive programme could further de-risk the asset, and provided an update on the Shotgun Gold project in Alaska, which he described as an important source of optionality as TNR pursues a major partner.

    Noble Helium targets August spud in Tanzania

    Noble Helium chief exploration officer and co-founder Justyn Wood talked with Proactive about the company’s upcoming helium drilling campaign in Tanzania, including refinements made following seismic reprocessing and gravity anomaly analysis. Wood said the latest technical work had helped Noble Helium further de-risk the campaign at North Rukwa, with two optimised firm well locations now identified ahead of an expected August spud. The campaign is expected to test multiple objectives, including demonstrating helium in gas phase, collecting the data needed to support a bookable contingent resource, confirming whether helium concentrations increase with depth, and helping unlock the broader North Rukwa portfolio. Wood said the first well is designed to test the shallower part of the structure, while the second well is expected to target deeper formations. He noted that the company is preparing for the possibility of encountering multiple gas lenses during drilling. He also discussed the scale of the North Rukwa opportunity, referencing an independent prospective resource estimate of 225 Bcf and describing the potential significance of proving that the system is working. Ahead of the expected August spud, Wood said long-lead items were arriving, camp construction was underway, and civil works had started, with the rig expected around mid-August.

    Grey Matters receives first Brain PET scanner for flagship Florida Alzheimer's clinic

    Grey Matters Health CEO Christopher Moreau joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the arrival of the company’s first brain-dedicated PET scanning system for its flagship NovaScan Neuroimaging Clinics™ location, which is scheduled to open soon in Davie, Florida. Moreau said the clinic will be the first in the United States dedicated exclusively to brain PET imaging, helping address growing demand for the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease through beta-amyloid imaging, while also supporting diagnosis of other neurodegenerative disorders. The facility will feature the U.S. FDA-cleared CareMiBrain™ PET system, an innovative scanner that produces high-quality brain images without requiring an integrated CT scanner. The design reduces patient radiation exposure by approximately 25% while offering a more comfortable chair-style scanning experience. In addition to Alzheimer's disease, the CareMiBrain system will support imaging for Parkinson’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, and selected neuro-oncology applications. Moreau noted that brain PET scans used to detect beta-amyloid plaques are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and many private insurance plans for eligible patients aged 65 and older. Demand for these scans has also increased following the FDA approval of Leqembi and Kisunla, two monoclonal antibody treatments that slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Patients must receive a positive beta-amyloid brain scan—or an approved alternative diagnostic test—to qualify for these therapies, and ongoing imaging is required to monitor treatment response. Management believes the combination of expanded insurance coverage, new Alzheimer's therapies, and growing demand for early diagnosis creates a significant opportunity for NovaScan as it launches its specialized neuroimaging clinic network in the United States. #proactiveinvestors #greymettershealth #cse #grey #AlzheimersDisease #Neuroimaging #PETScan #HealthcareInnovation #BrainHealth #DementiaResearch #MedicalTechnology #NovaScan #HealthcareServices #MedicalTechnology #Parkinsons #HealthTech #DiagnosticImaging

    Purepoint explains why winter is prime season for Uranium exploration in Saskatchewan

    Purepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss why uranium exploration in Saskatchewan follows distinct winter and summer drilling seasons, and how seasonal conditions affect exploration efficiency, logistics, and costs. Frostad explained that while year-round drilling may seem ideal, winter often provides the most efficient operating conditions. Frozen lakes, rivers, wetlands, and muskeg allow crews to move drill rigs using winter roads and snow trails, significantly reducing access costs. In contrast, summer exploration frequently requires helicopter-supported operations, making drilling more expensive. He emphasized that successful uranium exploration depends as much on planning as drilling. “You want to make sure you've really digested all the information you've got before you collar that drill,” Frostad said, noting that companies often pause between drilling campaigns to analyze geological data, alteration studies, geophysical information, and assay results before selecting the next drill targets. The discussion also covered assay turnaround times, environmental operating windows, and how information gathered during one exploration season helps refine and improve the next phase of drilling. Frostad also provided an update on Purepoint’s Dorado Project, where the company discovered uranium mineralization at the Nova Zone last year. During the winter campaign, Purepoint completed approximately 5,000 metres of drilling, successfully tracing the mineralized structure over roughly one kilometre. The current summer exploration program is now underway, with 3,100 to 3,200 metres of drilling planned through the end of August. Management aims to further define the mineralized system and identify additional zones of high-grade uranium mineralization. Frostad said the combination of systematic exploration, seasonal planning, and ongoing geological interpretation continues to strengthen Purepoint’s understanding of the Dorado project and its discovery potential. #proactiveinvestors #purepointuraniumgroup #tsxv #ptu #otcqb #ptuuf #Uranium #AthabascaBasin #UraniumExploration #SaskatchewanMining #CriticalMinerals #ExplorationDrilling #MiningNews #NuclearEnergy #DoradoProject

    PT Asset Management sees value in municipal bonds and high-quality credit

    PT Asset Management CEO Sean Dranfield joined Proactive's Steve Darling to discuss the current bond market environment, the Performance Trust Total Return Bond ETF, and where investors may find opportunities amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding interest rates, inflation, and credit markets. Dranfield said the yield curve has flattened as short-term interest rates have risen more sharply than long-term rates, largely reflecting persistent inflation concerns. He noted that forecasting interest rates remains extremely challenging, even for central banks, making flexibility an important part of portfolio construction. “We're entirely rate agnostic. We don't believe anybody, including us, can predict rates,” Dranfield said. Rather than trying to anticipate rate movements, PT Asset Management focuses on building balanced portfolios that combine both offensive and defensive positioning. On the offensive side, Dranfield highlighted taxable and tax-exempt U.S. municipal bonds, which he believes currently offer attractive yields and favorable yield curve dynamics. For more defensive positioning, he pointed to high-quality structured credit, including commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), and selected short-duration bank bonds. He noted that corporate bond spreads have narrowed back to levels seen earlier in the year, limiting the additional compensation available for taking on lower-quality credit risk. According to Dranfield, investors can currently access yields in the 5% to 7% range while limiting both credit risk and interest rate sensitivity by emphasizing higher-quality, shorter-duration fixed-income investments. He also discussed the role bonds can play alongside equities, noting that high-quality fixed-income investments have historically provided valuable diversification and stability during periods of market uncertainty. #proactiveinvestors #hanetf #PTAssetManagement #BondETF #TotalReturn #ShapeManagement #InvestmentStrategies #BondMarket #InterestRates #USInvesting #StructuredCredit #EuropeanInvestors #FinanceInterview #MunicipalBonds #ETFInvesting #InterestRates #CreditMarkets #PortfolioManagement #IncomeInvesting #MarketOutlook
