    Purepoint Uranium hits 7.4m at 8,760 cps in first hole at Q24, Dorado

    Purepoint Uranium Group (PTU) CEO Chris Frostad tells Proactive that the first drill hole at the Q24 zone on its Dorado project returned 7.4 meters of radioactivity at 8,760 counts per second, with peaks reaching 50,000 counts per second. Frostad describes the result as highly significant given it came from the very first hole drilled in that zone. The Q24 zone is separate from both the Nova and Q23 targets within the broader Dorado project, which Purepoint holds in partnership with ISO Energy across approximately 100,000 hectares in the Athabasca Basin. Frostad highlights that the radioactivity was found at the unconformity, a classic uranium-bearing setting, and that chalcopyrite was identified beneath it — an indicator of the hydrothermal activity that would have mobilized uranium through the area. Assays from the summer drill program are still pending. Frostad says the company is also processing 3D mobile MT geophysical surveys conducted across the entire project over the summer, and will spend the next one to two months interpreting that data alongside drill results. The company does not plan to return to the site with a drill until January, but Frostad says investors should expect a series of updates before then, covering the interpretation of results, planned targets, and the budget being agreed with partner ISO Energy for next year's program. #PurepointUranium #PTU #uranium #AthabascaBasin #Canada #mining #juniorminers #resourcestocks #commodities #investing

    C3 Metals CEO on major new copper target at Khaleesi and Q4 drilling plans

    C3 Metals Inc (TSX-V:CCCM, OTC:CUAUF) CEO Dan Symons tells Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion that new gravity and magnetic surveys at the Khaleesi copper project in Peru have identified a major anomaly around two kilometres northeast of the main drill zone. The company has expanded the survey area by more than 65% to 1,500 hectares and plans to drill-test the new target in Q4. Symons said the main Khaleesi mineralised zone extends to 500 metres depth and remains open, while glacial cover means geophysics is key to identifying concealed copper-bearing magnetite skarns. A 3D IP survey is also due to start at the end of September, targeting potential porphyry or intrusive sources at depth. In Jamaica, assays from the Superblock gold project and a Freeport-McMoRan-funded deep drilling programme at Bellas Gate are expected in Q4. Symons said the company expects significant news flow across its three projects into 2027.

    Gunnison Copper CEO on $8m Nuton deal; permitting on track at Johnson Camp

    Gunnison Copper Corp (TSX:GCU, OTCQB:GCUMF, FRA:3XS0) CEO and President Craig Hallworth tells Proactive's Gunnion that the company will receive an $8 million non-dilutive payment from Nuton in exchange for adding approximately 3 million tons of mineralized material to the Johnson Camp Mine plan. Hallworth said the additional material will be mined and processed using Nuton's sulfide leaching technology within the existing stage two period, which ends in mid-2030, and the proceeds will be directed to the flagship Gunnison Copper project. Hallworth also addressed the decision not to proceed with 48C tax credits, saying the company cannot claim more than one federal benefit on the same asset and is focused on maximising the total value of incentives available for the Johnson Camp construction. He declined to specify which alternative programs are being pursued but directed investors to gunnisoncopper.com for updates. On permitting, Hallworth confirmed that Gunnison Copper has submitted its Mined Land Reclamation Plan amendment to the Arizona State Mine Inspector. The amendment converts the project from the predecessor company's in-situ leaching approach to an open pit, heap leach, and SXEW plant design. He said approval with no lawsuits is expected by the end of this calendar year, consistent with guidance already given. Hallworth discussed the possibility of skipping the pre-feasibility study and going directly to a full feasibility study, noting that strategic partners are consistently advising this path. He cited the project's history as a mine restart, the high proportion of measured and indicated resources, and existing permits and technical data as reasons the accelerated timeline is viable. In the base case, a final investment decision would come at around mid-2030 following a pre-feasibility study to mid-2028 and a feasibility study after that. Hallworth said the accelerated decision has not yet been made but that the permitting timeline is aligned with it if chosen. He described the Gunnison project as potentially supplying between 10 and 15 percent of total US refined copper from ore production.

    Kirkland Lake Discoveries CEO: Mirado hits high-grade feeder, "no edges" yet

    Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp (TSX-V:KLDC, OTCQB:KLKLF) CEO Stefan Sklepowicz tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has hit 25.85 grams per tonne gold over three metres in a 150-metre step-out at its Mirado project, calling it a high-grade feeder beneath the historical deposit and a sign of a strong, long-lived orogenic system. Sklepowicz highlighted the Mirado West zone as a standout opportunity, with a geophysical anomaly stretching 6.5 kilometres north and only two holes drilled into it so far. He said there are no edges on the system yet, raising the possibility it could become a large deposit in its own right. The company holds 42,000 hectares in the Kirkland Lake Camp in Ontario, a district with 120 years of mining history. Sklepowicz described the area as near-turnkey for mine development given existing infrastructure and nearby major mining companies. KL South is identified as the most advanced project, with a historical resource of 442,000 ounces that management believes was understated when compiled at the end of the 2013 bull market. With 23 holes currently pending, Sklepowicz said investors should expect continuous news flow over the next three to four months, covering Mirado West step-outs, the northern zone, and regional boundary tests, with an updated mineral resource estimate flagged for 2027.

    Pantheon Resources draws strong industry interest as Kodiak resource potential grows

    Pantheon Resources CEO Max Easley and Chief Development Officer Erich Krumanocker joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's ongoing farm-out process and development activities in Alaska, highlighting strong industry interest and encouraging results from its Kodiak seismic reprocessing program. Since launching its farm-out initiative in March 2026, Pantheon has attracted significant attention from a broad range of potential partners, including major international energy companies, mid-sized operators, independent exploration firms and financial investors. Management reported a high level of engagement throughout the process, with numerous parties evaluating the opportunity. The company currently has ten active participants reviewing data and conducting evaluations through its virtual data room. Pantheon has already received one formal proposal but elected not to proceed, believing continued negotiations with other interested parties could result in a more favorable outcome for shareholders. Easley said the company's recently enhanced seismic data package has now been made available to all participants in the process and is expected to play an important role in supporting both partnership discussions and future development planning. While advancing negotiations, Pantheon remains focused on preserving financial flexibility. The company reduced administrative expenses by 22% compared to the same period in 2025, helping maintain liquidity as it advances strategic priorities. Management also confirmed that Pantheon is not planning to undertake drilling activities independently during the upcoming winter season, preferring to focus resources on securing a farm-out partner and completing key technical studies. The company also provided an update on the proposed Alaska LNG project and associated gas pipeline, which Pantheon views as a significant long-term catalyst. Although political developments have delayed progress, management continues to believe the project will eventually move forward on a timeline that aligns with Pantheon's broader development objectives. A major technical milestone has been the company's comprehensive seismic reprocessing program covering the Kodiak field. Initiated in February 2026, the first phase has now been completed on schedule and within budget. According to Pantheon, the newly processed data delivers significantly improved imaging of the Kodiak basin-floor fan reservoir, providing enhanced visibility into reservoir architecture, continuity and sand distribution. The updated seismic interpretation also identified additional prospective intervals above and below the primary target zone. Krumanocker said the combination of improved seismic imaging and AVO analysis has substantially increased management's confidence in the scale and continuity of the Kodiak resource. Based on the ongoing evaluation, Pantheon currently expects the asset's recoverable resource estimate could increase by at least 25% above the existing 2C resource estimate, while remaining within the previously established 3C resource range. #proactiveinvestors #pantheonresourcesplc #mining #lse #panr #pthrf #OilAndGas #AlaskaEnergy #KodiakField #EnergyStocks #ResourceDevelopment #EnergyTransition #Exploration #Hydrocarbons #EnergyInvestment #LNG #SeismicData #OilExploration #SmallCapStocks #ProactiveInvestors

    Ilika CEO discusses appointment of former general to drive Goliath's defence push

    Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF, FRA:I8A) CEO Graeme Purdy spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the appointment of a recently retired major general as a defence advisor and the market opportunity for the company's Goliath batteries. Purdy highlighted Anderton-Brown's decades of military experience across procurement, logistics and communication systems, saying he is helping Ilika engage with defence manufacturing partners and identify applications where Goliath could be particularly well differentiated. The appointment comes as Ilika builds on positive results announced earlier in the year following battlefield testing of Goliath batteries. Batteries manufactured towards the end of 2025 were provided for testing by an agency advising the UK Ministry of Defence, and Ilika has since been engaging further with the defence industry. The company is now analysing potential markets for its 10Ah Goliath prototype cell while working to productise the technology, with Purdy explaining that selecting applications suited to Goliath's particular characteristics will be key to the commercialisation strategy. On the wider market, Purdy pointed to the growing role of autonomous systems and battery-powered communications and intelligence equipment within defence: "So we're seeing that it is a huge opportunity," he said. "And what's absolutely key for us is that we choose the right beachhead application." The next stage will involve engagement with partners providing battery-powered solutions to the defence sector, which Purdy said is expected to generate news flow in the coming months, with Anderton-Brown's experience central to that push.

    Coyote Copper receives drill permit approval, expands Copper Springs project footprint

    Coyote Copper Mines CEO Daniel Weir joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a major advancement at the company's wholly owned Copper Springs Project, announcing that Coyote has received full approval for its Phase 1 drilling permits following the successful completion of its Plan of Operations. The approval represents an important milestone for the company as it moves from exploration and target generation into an active drilling phase aimed at unlocking the project's copper potential. Weir explained that regulators have authorized a total of 37 drill locations across the Copper Springs Project. Each location can accommodate multiple drill holes, providing the company with significant flexibility as it evaluates a range of priority targets. Under the permit terms, Coyote has three years to complete all drilling and reclamation activities associated with the approved program. The upcoming Phase 1 drilling campaign will target both near-surface oxide copper mineralization and deeper sulphide copper systems, giving the company an opportunity to test multiple styles of mineralization across the project area. These targets were developed through extensive exploration work that included geological mapping, surface sampling, and several generations of geophysical surveys designed to identify and prioritize prospective zones. To further enhance drill targeting, Coyote is continuing additional fieldwork that includes soil sampling, channel sampling and new geophysical surveys. The company believes the ongoing work will help refine target locations and maximize the effectiveness of the Phase 1 drill campaign. At the same time, management is already planning for the project's next stage of exploration. Weir confirmed that preparations for Phase 2 drilling permits will begin shortly, demonstrating the company's commitment to advancing Copper Springs through a systematic and multi-year exploration strategy. In another significant development, Coyote has expanded its land position around the project by staking 111 additional mineral claims, increasing the overall footprint of the Copper Springs Project to approximately 72.36 square kilometres. The company is also progressing a new 2D Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey, a key component of its exploration program. Phase 1 of the survey is currently underway and covers approximately 17 line kilometres across survey lines L1 through L7 in the central-eastern portion of the property. The survey is expected to be completed by mid-September. #proactiveinvestors #coyotecoppermines #tsxv #ccmm #CopperSprings #CopperMining #CopperExploration #MiningNews #CriticalMinerals #JuniorMining #DrillProgram #Geophysics #InducedPolarization #MineralExploration #ResourceStocks #CopperStocks #ProactiveInvestors #SteveDarling

    Harena Rare Earths secures US$5M DFC funding as Madagascar project advances toward production

    Harena Rare Earths Executive Chairman Ivan Murphy joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a major financing milestone for the company's flagship rare earths project in Madagascar, announcing that Harena has secured a US$5 million project funding facility from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). Murphy described the funding as the first step in what could become a broader strategic financing relationship with the DFC and other organizations connected to the U.S. government's critical minerals initiative. He noted that additional funding opportunities may become available as the project progresses through key development milestones and moves closer to commercial production. The funding underscores growing international interest in securing diversified sources of critical minerals outside China, particularly rare earth elements that are essential for electric vehicles, renewable energy technologies, advanced electronics and defense applications. Murphy highlighted that Harena's Madagascar asset is considered one of the largest proven ionic clay rare earth deposits outside China. Unlike many traditional hard-rock rare earth projects, ionic clay deposits offer significant operational advantages because they do not require extensive blasting, crushing or complex mineral processing in the early stages of development. As a result, Harena believes it can move from development to production more rapidly and at a potentially lower capital cost than many competing rare earth projects. The company is currently targeting initial production within approximately 20 to 24 months. A key component of the DFC partnership involves co-funding the construction of an onsite pilot plant and laboratory in Madagascar. Murphy explained that these facilities will allow the company to demonstrate, under real operating conditions, the same concentration and extraction processes that have already been successfully validated through independent laboratory testing. The pilot plant is expected to serve as a critical bridge between laboratory-scale validation and full-scale commercial production. Successful operation of the pilot facility would provide important technical data, support future financing discussions and help de-risk the project for potential strategic partners and investors. Looking ahead, Murphy identified completion of the pilot plant and laboratory as the company's most important objectives over the next two quarters. He said these milestones will play a central role in advancing project financing discussions and demonstrating the commercial viability of the deposit. Murphy also noted growing interest from potential offtake partners, which he believes has been strengthened by the project's connection to the U.S. government's critical minerals strategy. As global manufacturers seek secure and diversified rare earth supply chains, Harena is seeing increased inbound inquiries regarding future supply agreements. #harenaraerearths #otcqb #crmnf #lse #hree #RareEarths #CriticalMinerals #DFC #USDevelopmentFinance #MadagascarMining #RareEarthMining #EnergyTransition #EVSupplyChain #StrategicMetals #MiningNews #CleanEnergy #ResourceInvesting #ProactiveInvestors #SteveDarling
