    Ideal Power reports strong Q1 progress across AI Data centers and EV initiatives

    Ideal Power CEO David Somo joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, highlighting progress across AI data center infrastructure, energy storage, and electric vehicle initiatives. Ideal Power reported a strong start to the year, including the launch of two additional projects with its lead Asian customer and the signing of a letter of intent with an industry partner to co-develop a B-TRAN®-enabled prototype for evaluation by a U.S. hyperscaler supporting the new NVIDIA Rubin Ultra 800V DC AI data center power architecture. The company also advanced deliverables for Stellantis on schedule while continuing to engage with several multinational customers on new commercial opportunities.

    Mercado Minerals reports strong initial drill results at Copalito Silver project in Mexico

    Mercado Minerals CEO Daniel Rodriguez joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s advancing silver exploration projects in Mexico, including recent drilling success at the Copalito project and ongoing work at the Zamora property. Rodriguez explained that Mercado Minerals is focused on silver exploration along the western edge of the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental mining district in Sinaloa. The company acquired the Copalito project at the end of 2025. The property hosts six known silver and gold veins extending more than eight kilometres across the project area. Historical exploration included 81 drill holes, although management noted that only approximately 60% of the known veins had been tested previously and only to shallow depths of around 100 metres. Mercado Minerals has now completed roughly 70% of its current 3,000-metre drill program at Copalito. Initial assay results returned encouraging grades, including an intercept of 6.5 metres grading 256 grams per tonne silver and 1.46 grams per tonne gold, including a higher-grade section of 3.45 metres grading 445 grams per tonne silver and 2.26 grams per tonne gold. Rodriguez said the results demonstrate continuity of the mineralized system both along strike and at depth, supporting the company’s broader exploration thesis for the property. The CEO also provided an update on the Zamora project, which has not yet been drill tested. Mercado Minerals is currently working to restore additional claims into good standing while advancing surface exploration activities across the property. Early sampling at Zamora has returned multi-kilogram silver values along with elevated gold grades, and the company plans to advance toward drilling once the required administrative work is completed. Management believes its combination of historical exploration data, underexplored vein systems, and expanding drilling activity positions Mercado Minerals for continued exploration growth in one of Mexico’s most prospective silver regions. #proactiveinvestors #mercadominerals #cse #merc #otcqb #mrmnf #SilverExploration #CopalitoProject #ZamoraProject #MexicoMining #SilverDiscovery #GoldSilver #DrillingResults #MineralExploration #Sinaloa #SierraMadreOccidental #HighGradeSilver #ResourceDevelopment #ExplorationUpdate #JuniorMining

    Phunware appoints Dmitry Kroshka CEO to lead AI platform strategy

    Phunware Inc. CEO Dmitry Kroshka joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss his appointment as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer and outline Phunware’s next phase of AI-driven growth. Kroshka previously served as a senior advisor to Phunware beginning in October 2025, where he worked closely with the company on growth strategy, product direction, and development of its next-generation Guest Intelligence Platform. In his new role, he will lead Phunware’s “2.0 Strategy,” focused on transforming the company’s mobile, location-aware, and customer engagement capabilities into a unified AI-enabled platform designed for complex physical environments. Kroshka brings more than 20 years of experience spanning artificial intelligence, hospitality technology, SaaS, digital media, marketing technology, and consumer platforms. His career includes leadership and advisory positions with companies such as Oracle, FCB Global, FOX Digital Entertainment, and several venture-backed technology firms. Phunware also announced that it has engaged Build Something Product Group to help guide its product strategy and rollout of Product 2.0. The consultancy was founded by Michael Cerdá, whose previous product leadership experience includes Disney+, Marcus by Goldman Sachs and the Apple Card initiative, as well as Facebook Newsfeed. Under the engagement, Cerdá will serve as Phunware’s senior product leader while BSPG embeds additional AI-focused product and engineering specialists within the company to accelerate development and commercialization efforts. The leadership changes come as industries including hospitality, healthcare, and large-property operations increasingly seek integrated platforms capable of combining mobile engagement, indoor location intelligence, behavioral analytics, and real-time AI personalization. Management said Phunware’s 2.0 Strategy is designed to move beyond traditional CRM and hospitality software systems by helping operators understand not only who their guests are and what they have done, but also what they are doing in real time while on property — enabling faster, more personalized engagement and decision-making. #proactiveinvestors #phunwareinc #nasdaq #phun #dmitrykroshka #Phunware #HospitalityTech #GuestExperience #MobileTechnology #DigitalHospitality #HospitalityTech #AI #MobileTechnology #DigitalExperience #SoftwareGrowth #TechStocks #Innovation #GuestExperience #SaaS #CustomerExperience #GuestIntelligence #DigitalTransformation #TechLeadership #MobileTechnology

    Criterium Energy targets production growth in Indonesia through low-cost development strategy

    Criterium Energy CEO Matthew Klukas joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s strategy to expand oil and gas production in Indonesia through low-cost, infrastructure-led development projects. Klukas explained that Criterium Energy is focused on upstream opportunities across Southeast Asia and currently holds interests in three production sharing contracts (PSCs) in Indonesia. He pointed to strong domestic energy demand, supportive government policies, and Indonesia’s goal of significantly increasing oil and gas production by 2030 as key industry tailwinds. The company’s primary producing asset is the Tungkal PSC, which currently generates just under 1,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Criterium plans to materially increase production by bringing the Southeast Mengoepeh gas field online using existing wells, processing facilities, and transportation infrastructure. Klukas said the project is expected to cost less than US$2 million while potentially more than doubling current production and significantly improving company cash flow. He emphasized that leveraging existing infrastructure allows Criterium to rapidly add production with relatively low capital intensity. Beyond Tungkal, the company also holds an interest in the Bulu PSC, an offshore gas development project with future commercialization potential, as well as the West Salawati PSC, which offers additional long-term development and exploration upside. Management said the company’s broader strategy is centered on growing production within internally generated cash flow while simultaneously reducing debt levels. Klukas also highlighted the speed at which projects can advance in Indonesia, noting that the Southeast Mengoepeh development is expected to move from final investment decision to first production in less than a year. Criterium believes its combination of low-cost development opportunities, existing infrastructure access, and exposure to growing Southeast Asian energy demand positions the company well for future growth. #proactiveinvestors #criteriumenergy #tsxv #ceq #OilAndGas #IndonesiaEnergy #NaturalGas #EnergyStocks #ProductionGrowth #SoutheastAsia #EnergyInfrastructure #ResourceInvesting

    Arianne produces Phosphoric Acid from Quebec Phosphate concentrate

    Arianne Phosphate Head of Strategic, Business Initiatives Brian Ostroff joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful continuous production of phosphoric acid using the company’s high-purity phosphate concentrate sourced from Quebec. The achievement marks the first time phosphoric acid has been continuously produced in the province from a Quebec-sourced apatite concentrate in more than 130 years. The work was completed in partnership with Corem and supported by Natural Resources Canada. During testing at Corem’s facilities, Arianne successfully produced approximately 1.5 tonnes of phosphoric acid continuously over a one-week period. The company said the results demonstrate the high quality of its phosphate concentrate and reinforce the potential for a fully localized phosphate supply chain within Canada. Management noted that the phosphoric acid generated from Arianne’s concentrate can be readily upgraded into purified phosphoric acid, a key material used in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, high-performance fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor manufacturing. The company also emphasized that its concentrate requires significantly less sulphuric acid during processing compared to many competing phosphate sources, providing an additional strategic advantage as global sulphur supply chains face increasing geopolitical pressure, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz. Ostroff highlighted the growing importance of secure phosphate supply chains as governments and industries increasingly recognize phosphate as a critical mineral tied to energy transition technologies and food security. He noted that Arianne has invested approximately $100 million and more than 15 years advancing its Lac à Paul Project, which the company describes as the world’s largest greenfield phosphate deposit capable of producing high-purity phosphate concentrate. Arianne also stated that Lac à Paul remains the only permitted phosphate mine in the Western world. Looking ahead, Arianne Phosphate continues discussions with corporate partners while advancing downstream initiatives focused on purified phosphoric acid production for Western markets. #proactiveinvetors #tsxv #dan #otcqb #drrsf #Phosphate #CriticalMinerals #LFPBatteries #QuebecMining #EnergyTransition #BatteryMaterials #Mining #CleanEnergy
