    Miivo AI reports nearly 560% revenue growth as product commercialization gains momentum

    Miivo AI CEO Alex Damouni joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue growth of nearly 560% compared with the same period last year, as the company begins commercializing its artificial intelligence products and expanding its customer base. Damouni said Miivo has launched three AI products alongside customized solutions designed to help businesses improve financial visibility, generate sales leads, understand customers and automate operational workflows. The company is targeting small and mid-sized businesses seeking practical AI tools to streamline operations and make better use of their business data. Its model combines AI-powered software with advisory and implementation services, helping customers turn insights into actionable business improvements. Management attributed the revenue increase to new customer acquisitions, expanded subscriptions among existing customers and demand for complementary automation services. Miivo is also pursuing expansion into additional markets and industry segments to broaden its reach across different geographies and sectors. Recurring revenue is an important part of the company's strategy, with software subscriptions and ongoing services designed to support continued customer engagement beyond individual projects. Management believes this approach can improve revenue visibility while creating opportunities to sell additional products and services to existing clients. Miivo's offering combines software subscriptions with advisory and automation services, which have different delivery requirements and cost structures. The company is therefore focused on attracting new customers, retaining existing clients and increasing adoption of its AI capabilities. While the nearly 560% year-over-year revenue increase marks progress in Miivo's commercialization efforts, future performance will depend on customer renewals, cancellations, spending patterns and the company's ability to sustain demand as it scales its operations. #proactiveinvestors #miivoai #tsxv #mivo #otcqb #mivof #ArtificialIntelligence #RevenueGrowth #AICommercialization #SaaS #BusinessAutomation #BusinessIntelligence #SalesAutomation #CustomerInsights #RecurringRevenue #Technology

    Gunnison Copper welcomes special guest as company to debuts on NYSE American under GUNN ticker

    Gunnison Copper Corp CEO Craig Hallworth joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's planned NYSE American listing, growing Arizona copper operations and efforts to strengthen domestic supplies of a critical metal used in defence, technology and manufacturing. Gunnison's American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are expected to begin trading on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol GUNN on Monday, October 26, 2026. Each ADR will represent 30 common shares, providing US institutional and retail investors with another way to gain exposure to the company. Hallworth said the listing represents an important milestone as Gunnison seeks to raise its profile in US capital markets and support its strategy of expanding domestic copper production. The announcement comes as the company welcomed US Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and US Congressman Juan Ciscomani to its producing Johnson Camp Mine in Arizona. The visit highlighted current copper production, the growth potential of Gunnison's flagship copper project and the role of American workers in strengthening domestic supply chains. At Johnson Camp, Gunnison produces finished copper cathode through an on-site operation incorporating Nuton technology from Rio Tinto. The facility has production capacity of up to 25 million pounds of copper annually, supplying finished material for American markets without requiring overseas smelting or refining. The company also highlighted its supply relationship with Amazon Web Services data centres, connecting Arizona copper production with infrastructure supporting cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Discussions during the visit focused on the potential contribution of the broader Gunnison Copper Project to US mineral supply and opportunities to accelerate its development. The company is pursuing development and financing pathways intended to bring additional domestic copper production to market. With its planned NYSE American listing and ongoing operational and development activities in Arizona, Gunnison is seeking to expand its investor base while positioning its copper assets within growing efforts to secure reliable domestic supplies of critical minerals. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf #Copper #NYSEAmerican #GUNN #ArizonaMining #CriticalMinerals #CopperProduction #DomesticSupplyChains #NutonTechnology #RioTinto #ArtificialIntelligence #DataCenters #AmazonWebServices

    Nextech3D.ai creates first AI-generated Map D floor plan for SEBC 2027

    Nextech3D.ai CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company’s Map D platform has generated its first AI-created customer floor plan for the Florida Home Builders Association’s Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) 2027. Gappelberg told Proactive that the milestone demonstrates the practical application of Map D’s recently launched agentic AI capabilities, which are designed to automate traditionally manual event-planning workflows and improve production efficiency. SEBC is a major building industry trade show in the southeastern United States, bringing together professionals, exhibitors and industry leaders to explore residential construction products, services and developments. The conference has been running for nearly five decades and features exhibitions, educational programming, professional development and networking opportunities. The 2027 event will take place in the South Concourse of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The venue forms part of the convention centre’s extensive North-South complex, which features approximately 950,000 square feet of exhibit space. The Florida Home Builders Association, established in 1947, represents Florida’s homebuilding industry and serves as the parent organization for 23 local and regional homebuilder associations across the state. The first AI-generated customer floor plan follows Nextech3D.ai’s October 15, 2026, launch of agentic AI features within Map D. These capabilities allow users to direct the platform using natural-language instructions, with the aim of simplifying floor-plan creation and reducing reliance on manual processes. The company believes AI-powered workflows could improve production efficiency, reduce incremental labour requirements and support a more scalable software business model as demand for digital event-planning tools grows. The SEBC 2027 milestone provides an early example of how Nextech3D.ai is applying its AI technology to a customer project, as it works to automate more of the event floor-plan production process. #proactiveinvestors #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #MapD #AgenticAI #ArtificialIntelligence #EventTechnology #EventManagement #SEBC2027 #FloridaHomeBuildersAssociation #TradeShows #EventPlanning #AIInnovation

    Gulf Keystone CEO on how ShaMaran merger could boost production, cut costs and unlock growth

    Gulf Keystone Petroleum Limited (LSE:GKP) CEO Jon Harris spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the proposed merger with another Kurdistan-focused oil producer, the potential for higher production and what the deal could mean for shareholders. Harris explained how the proposed 50:50 combination with ShaMaran Petroleum would bring together four complementary, low-cost, long-life assets to create a larger independent producer with greater scale and more diversified cash flow. Combined net production could rise from around 28,000 barrels of oil per day to 53,000 bopd, with longer-term potential to approach 100,000 bopd as development opportunities at the Shaikan and Hamrin fields are realised. The discussion covered plans to develop Hamrin in Iraq, the proposed US$50 million special dividend for Gulf Keystone shareholders and how future cash flow could support investment and sustainable shareholder returns. Harris also outlined the proposed move to a single Oslo stock market listing, explaining how it could improve trading liquidity, reduce costs and broaden market access. He addresses the implications for UK retail investors, including the proposed timetable and share-transfer arrangements. Watch the full interview for Harris’s case for the merger, production growth prospects and what comes next for shareholders.

    Ilika CEO Graeme Purdy: ORKA deep-sea batteries open up defence and marine markets

    Ilika PLC Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF, FRA:I8A) CEO Graeme Purdy spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the launch of its ORKA underwater battery brand and growing demand for energy storage in marine, defence and underwater infrastructure markets. Purdy explains how ORKA offers an early route to commercialisation while Ilika continues developing its Goliath batteries for electric vehicles. Designed to operate at depths of up to 6,000 metres, ORKA batteries can work without the heavy pressure vessels used to protect conventional battery packs. This could reduce weight and cost in deep-sea applications, including the protection of critical infrastructure such as pipelines and communication cables. Ilika manufactures battery cells at its Southampton facility, offering a UK-based supply option for customers seeking greater supply chain resilience. Following the brand launch, the company has reported significant interest from prospective customers. Purdy outlined the milestones investors should watch, including commercial collaborations, orders, product shipments and revenue growth. Watch the full interview for the latest on ORKA’s commercial prospects and Ilika’s plans to advance the technology towards market.

    King Ridge Capital explores $65B catastrophe bond market and portfolio diversification

    King Ridge Capital Managing Partner Vijay Manghnani joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the growing catastrophe bond market and its potential role in helping investors diversify their portfolios. Catastrophe bonds, or CAT bonds, allow insurance companies, governments and other issuers to transfer natural disaster risks to capital market investors. These securities can be linked to hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires and floods, offering returns in exchange for assuming the risk of potential losses. Manghnani said the market has grown to approximately $65 billion in assets, expanding at around 10% annually. Issuers include government agencies in Florida, California and Texas, as well as countries such as Jamaica, Mexico and the Philippines. The World Bank has also supported catastrophe bond transactions for sovereign entities. A key attraction for investors is that CAT bonds are primarily exposed to specified natural disaster events rather than traditional interest-rate movements, potentially offering diversification benefits compared with conventional fixed-income investments. Manghnani also discussed climate change and its implications for catastrophe risk. Investment managers assess potential exposure to hurricanes, floods and wildfires, using catastrophe modelling and risk analysis to determine whether the returns adequately compensate for potential losses. Investors can access the asset class through specialist investment managers and insurance-linked securities funds. However, CAT bonds carry significant risks, including potential losses of principal if specified catastrophe triggers are met. #proactiveinvestors #hanETF CatastropheBonds #CATBonds #AlternativeInvestments #FixedIncome #PortfolioDiversification #InsuranceLinkedSecurities #ClimateRisk #RiskManagement

    Aruma Resources extends Tillex Copper Zone to 230m

    Aruma Resources Ltd (ASX) managing director Grant Ferguson talked with Proactive about the latest drilling results from the Tillex Project in Ontario, Canada, where the company has extended the copper-silver mineralised zone to around 230 metres of strike. Ferguson said the Phase 2 drilling program was continuing to deliver broad, shallow intercepts, with mineralisation beginning close to the base of the overburden and continuing into fresh rock. He highlighted the width and shallow nature of the intercepts as an encouraging feature of the developing system. Ferguson said the company had a significant amount of further newsflow ahead, with around nine drill holes being processed in the laboratory at the time of the interview and additional drilling continuing. He said Aruma expected a steady flow of results through to the end of the year. The company has also recently expanded its project footprint to approximately 28.6 square kilometres, giving Aruma further exposure to the Tillex trend as well as areas considered prospective for both copper and gold. Following a capital raising of around $3.1 million, Ferguson said Aruma was fully funded for its ongoing drilling and exploration activities, including approximately 1,000 metres of diamond drilling still to be completed.

    Metals One PLC (AIM:MET1, FRA:HT7, OTCQB:MTOPF) managing director Daniel Maling joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the proposed Lions Bay Resources acquisition and the drive to bring South Africa’s Barbrook Gold Mine back into production within six months.
