    Aftermath Silver advances Berenguela PFS and expands drilling at Peru and Chile projects

    Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s ongoing development and exploration activities at the Berenguela Project in southern Peru and the Challacollo silver-gold project in northern Chile. At Berenguela, the company continues to make steady progress on its Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), which remains on schedule and on budget for completion in early 2027. Since launching the study in February 2026, Aftermath has completed a comprehensive gap analysis to identify the geological, engineering, metallurgical, geotechnical and environmental data required to advance the project to a PFS level of definition. Significant work completed to date includes infill drilling, advanced metallurgical testing and geotechnical investigations. The latest metallurgical programs have increased confidence in the proposed processing flowsheet, while ongoing geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling will support mine design optimization and future permitting requirements. As of July 2026, Aftermath had completed 4,002 metres of diamond drilling as part of its third drilling campaign at Berenguela. The current program is focused on four key objectives: expanding mineralization in the eastern and southeastern portions of the deposit, upgrading indicated resources to measured classification, extending mineralization along the northern portion of the resource area, and collecting bulk samples for additional metallurgical testing. Particular attention is being given to the highly prospective Copper East target, where previous drilling returned impressive results, including 156 metres grading 1.12% copper, 290 grams per tonne silver and 7.3% manganese. The target remains open for expansion and is considered one of the project’s most promising growth opportunities. The arrival of a second drill rig has accelerated exploration efforts, allowing the company to begin testing additional eastern targets while preparing to drill the South-West Intrusive target, a new exploration area located approximately four kilometres from the main Berenguela deposit. Meanwhile, at the Challacollo Silver-Gold Project in northern Chile, Aftermath has completed the initial phase of its diamond drilling campaign, with five holes totaling 630 metres drilled across the Lolon and Lucy vein systems. The program was designed to verify historical results, extend known mineralization and test new areas south of the current resource. Encouraged by the initial results and geological observations, the company has expanded the drilling program to 2,000 metres. The drill rig is currently being repositioned to continue testing the southern extension of the Lolon vein, where management believes there is significant potential to grow the existing silver-gold resource. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #BerenguelaProject #SilverMining #Berenguela #CopperEast #PeruMining #ChileMining #GoldExploration #SilverStocks #ResourceDevelopment #MiningNews

    Mila Resources nearly doubles Coffey resource, targets Yarrol gold resource in Q4

    Mila Resources COO Alastair Goodship joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a significant upgrade to the JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Coffey Gold Deposit, part of the company’s Kathleen Valley Gold Project in Western Australia. The updated resource estimate now contains 599,000 tonnes grading 2.1 grams per tonne gold for approximately 41,300 ounces of contained gold. The revised estimate represents a substantial increase from the previous 2020 resource, with both tonnage and contained ounces roughly doubling as a result of additional drilling and improved geological understanding of the deposit. Goodship explained that the resource growth validates the exploration work completed to date and further strengthens the development potential of the Kathleen Valley project. Beyond the increase in gold inventory, the updated resource also includes notable silver and zinc values, providing potential additional economic upside and highlighting the broader mineral endowment of the system. Importantly, exploration upside remains strong. Several identified gold targets within the project area have yet to be fully tested, offering opportunities to grow the current resource base through future drilling programs. Geological studies also indicate that mineralization may extend toward neighboring properties, creating the potential for additional discoveries and resource growth if continuity can be confirmed. The company is also focused on the Yarrol gold project. Goodship says Mila has spent approximately 24 months building its geological model, drilling to prove extensions from the historic resource depth of around 50 metres down to 100 to 150 metres, and testing mineralisation along strike. The company is aiming to publish a new gold resource at Yarrol in Q4, with additional drilling under way to fill gaps and test extensions. Goodship highlights significant exploration upside at Yarrol, noting that Mila holds approximately 20 kilometres of the Yarrol fault structure but has so far explored only one kilometre of it. Multiple gold occurrences are mapped along the structure, and the company intends to step out along the fault to identify additional shallow targets. At the Monal licence, also in Queensland, recent geophysics results released last week identified what Goodship describes as a strong potential porphyry target. Surface quartz veins with sulphides and historic workings with high-grade copper and gold mineralisation in narrow veins add to the encouragement. Goodship says Monal is a large licence area with many additional targets not yet reached, and the company is only beginning to see its potential. #proactiveinvestors #milaresourcesplc #lse #mila #copper #gold #GoldExploration #WesternAustralia #KathleenValley #GoldStocks #MiningNews #ResourceGrowth #JuniorMining #CriticalMinerals

    Central Asia Metals CEO: 'Really positive' H1 as Cygnus deal and drill assays loom

    Central Asia Metals PLC (AIM:CAML, OTC:CAMLF) CEO Gavin Ferrar spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strong first-half 2026 performance, the proposed acquisition of Cygnus Metals, and exploration programmes that could drive further news flow this year. Ferrar described a "really positive first six months of the year, both operationally and financially," helped by record copper prices, strong zinc prices and solid operational performance. Group revenue rose 46% to $145.5 million year-on-year, EBITDA climbed almost 90% to $75.5 million, and profit before tax reached $59.3 million. The company generated almost $47 million of cash in H1 and declared an 8p dividend - 40% of free cash flow, within its 30-50% policy - ending the period with $97.2 million of cash. Ferrar discussed the proposed Cygnus Metals acquisition, agreed at an equity value of A$232 million payable in CAML shares, which would add copper exposure in a tier-one jurisdiction alongside an existing resource, infrastructure and exploration potential. Cygnus shareholders vote on 18 September, with CAML targeting ownership in early October if the deal proceeds. Exploration could provide further catalysts, with maiden drilling assays expected in the coming weeks and more drilling planned: "We're all waiting on tenterhooks for the assays to come out," Ferrar said. Central Asia Metals remains on track for its 2026 copper, zinc and lead production guidance as it looks to benefit from elevated commodity prices.

    Gelion CEO: QinetiQ drone testing proves lithium-sulfur cells can go the distance

    Gelion PLC (AIM:GELN, OTC:GELNF, FRA:X0S) CEO Matthew Wood spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the successful completion of drone mission testing with QinetiQ, highlighting the performance of Gelion's nano-encapsulated sulfur (NES) cathode material in lithium-sulfur cells. QinetiQ independently built and tested pouch cells using Gelion's NES cathode paired with lithium metal anodes, as part of the Advanced Route to Market Demonstrator 4 (ARMD4) programme funded by the UK's Advanced Propulsion Centre. The cells completed representative drone mission simulations, including repeated vertical take-off and landing events requiring extremely high-power discharge, plus cruising conditions demanding continuous stable performance. Wood said there was no evidence of polysulfide shuttle behaviour, with NES-containing cells performing almost identically at cycle 50 as at cycle one despite repeated aggressive missions: "These results demonstrate that lithium sulfur cells containing our NES cathode material can deliver the stable cycling and strong high power performance that is required by drone mission profiles and, importantly, can do so durably." Wood pointed to relevance beyond defence drones, including other defence applications, commercial drones and lightweight, high-power uses where energy density and weight matter. He also highlighted stable operation over 200 cycles at a 1C discharge - representative of EV power requirements - supporting NES's case for automotive applications.

    1911 Gold expands San Antonio West discovery with high-grade gold intercepts with resource potential

    1911 Gold Corporation CEO Shaun Heinrichs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss new high-grade drill results from the San Antonio West (SAM W) target at the company’s wholly owned True North Gold Project in southeastern Manitoba, further strengthening the case for a maiden resource estimate at the emerging discovery. The latest results come from eight surface diamond drill holes totaling 2,980 metres and continue to demonstrate the continuity and scale of gold mineralization at SAM W. Among the standout intercepts, hole TN-26-073 returned 11.31 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 1.70 metres, including 16.20 g/t gold over 0.80 metres. Hole TN-26-089 intersected 5.72 g/t gold over 3.00 metres, including 9.65 g/t gold over 1.10 metres, while hole TN-26-082 returned 6.79 g/t gold over 2.40 metres, including 7.98 g/t gold over 1.40 metres. Hole TN-26-097 also delivered a high-grade intercept of 11.80 g/t gold over 0.50 metres. According to Heinrichs, the drilling successfully confirmed the continuity of mineralization through a previously untested gap measuring approximately 200 metres vertically and 200 metres along strike between depths of 230 and 430 metres below surface. The results provide additional confidence in the geological model and demonstrate that the gold system remains robust across a significant area. The company has now confirmed continuous gold mineralization at San Antonio West over a strike length of approximately 500 metres and to down-plunge depths exceeding 600 metres. Importantly, the mineralized system remains open both at depth and along trend, highlighting considerable expansion potential. Gold mineralization at SAM W is hosted within the San Antonio gabbro unit near its intersection with the regional Cartwright South shear zone, a geological setting that has proven highly prospective throughout the True North property. All seven drill holes that reached target depth intersected gold-bearing veining within the gabbro, underscoring the consistency of the mineralized structure. The latest drilling builds on previously reported high-grade intercepts, including 24.83 g/t gold over 2.60 metres and 58.66 g/t gold over 1.40 metres, further supporting the potential for a substantial gold resource. To date, 1911 Gold has completed 34 drill holes totaling 9,067 metres at San Antonio West. The data generated from the program will contribute to a maiden mineral resource estimate for the target. At the same time, geological modelling is underway for the SAM W, SAM SE and Shore deposits as part of a broader resource update planned for the True North Project in the fourth quarter of 2026. Meanwhile, underground drilling continues at the nearby San Antonio Southeast target, with the current program expected to be completed by the end of August as the company advances multiple growth opportunities across the True North gold camp. #proactiveinvestors #1911goldcorporation #1911gold #tsxv #aumb #otcqx #aumbf #GoldExploration #TrueNorthMine #GoldMining #TrueNorth #TrueNorthProject #GoldExploration #ManitobaMining #MiningStocks #ResourceGrowth #GoldDiscovery #JuniorMining #DrillResults

    Chesnara CEO: 79% jump in capital generation fuels acquisition ambitions

    Chesnara PLC (LSE:CSN) CEO Steve Murray spoke with Proactive about first-half performance, including a 79% rise in operating capital generation to £96 million, progress integrating Chesnara Life and the outlook for further acquisitions. Murray said the strong capital generation reflected positive underlying performance, management actions like balance-sheet optimisation and reinsurance, and a significant contribution from Chesnara Life, formerly HSBC Life UK, which joined the group at the end of January. On integration, Murray said Chesnara has announced a combined UK leadership team and begun transferring relevant staff to strategic outsourcing partner SS&C, remaining on track to migrate HSBC data onto the SS&C platform by year-end. He also discussed the planned acquisition of Scottish Widows Europe, expected to add around €250 million of lifetime cash generation — roughly €100 million within the first five years — while establishing a Luxembourg platform Chesnara sees as a springboard for further consolidation. Turning to M&A more broadly, Murray highlighted the group's 185% solvency coverage ratio and an active acquisition pipeline: "That gives us a lot of flexibility in terms of our ability to go after acquisitions." The interview also covers the 152% rise in new business contribution to £12 million, driven by demand for UK onshore bonds, plus positive client cash flows in Sweden and demand for insurance and investment products in the Netherlands.
