    Medicus Pharma files Orphan Drug application for SkinJect in rare skin Cancer indication

    Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has submitted an Orphan Drug Designation application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for SkinJect® as a treatment for basal cell carcinoma in patients with Gorlin Syndrome. Bokhari explained that the submission represents a strategic expansion of the SkinJect program into a high unmet-need orphan indication, where current treatment options are limited and often require repeated surgical procedures that can lead to cumulative morbidity and disfigurement. Gorlin Syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is a rare inherited disorder typically caused by mutations in the PTCH1 gene. This leads to dysregulation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway and the development of multiple, recurring skin cancers. Patients may develop dozens to more than 1,000 basal cell carcinomas over their lifetime, often beginning in childhood, creating a significant physical and psychological burden. Currently, there are no FDA-approved therapies specifically for basal cell carcinoma in patients with Gorlin Syndrome, with treatment largely reliant on surgical excision or Mohs surgery. Medicus believes SkinJect® could address this gap through a localized, repeatable, and non-surgical approach. The therapy is a doxorubicin-based dissolvable microneedle array designed for direct intradermal delivery into basal cell carcinoma lesions, targeting tumors at the site while minimizing systemic exposure. The company sees this program as an opportunity to provide a more patient-friendly treatment option for a population with significant unmet medical need. Medicus also noted it has sufficient financial runway into next year to support continued advancement of its clinical programs and key development milestones. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #SkinJect #OrphanDrug #RareDisease #GorlinSyndrome #BasalCellCarcinoma #SkinCancer #Biotech #DrugDevelopment #FDA #Oncology #MedicalInnovation #Healthcare #Microneedle #PatientCare

    Active Energy CEO on fast-tracking grid sites as Ghummud is energised ahead of schedule

    Active Energy Group PLC (AIM:AEG, OTCID:AEUSF) CEO Paul Elliott talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s rapid progress in energising new sites and building a scalable, cash-generating energy platform. Elliott highlighted the early success of the Ghummud site, which was brought online ahead of schedule, demonstrating the company’s ability to execute efficiently and repeatedly across multiple locations. He explained that this achievement is not a one-off, noting: “We’ve got a clear, repeatable playbook we can now deploy across multiple sites every time,” underlining the company’s confidence in replicating this model as it expands. With current output generating approximately $2.6 million annually from just 5.5 MVA, Active Energy has established a strong unit economics foundation, equating to roughly $1 million per MVA in annual revenue. Elliott detailed how scaling capacity toward 100MW could significantly enhance predictable revenue streams and cash flow, creating what he described as a “compounding flywheel” effect. As additional sites come online, the business is expected to transition into a more substantial cash-generating operation, with future growth increasingly funded internally. He also addressed the key constraints to expansion, including grid readiness and sourcing high-quality connections, while noting that due diligence processes are becoming more streamlined. With a growing pipeline of opportunities already identified, Active Energy is well-positioned to accelerate its rollout strategy.

    Rome Resources CEO on bigger DRC stake, fresh cash, and a tin market firing on all cylinders

    Rome Resources PLC (AIM:RMR, FRA:33R) CEO Paul Barrett joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss a busy period for the DRC-focused explorer, combining a consolidation of ownership across its key assets with a fresh £1.2 million fundraise. Barrett explained that agreed terms to increase stakes in both Kalayi and Mont Agoma to around 80% are largely share-based - effectively cashless - while delivering a significant uplift in the company's resource base ahead of the next mineral resource estimate update. The £1.2 million raised from existing shareholders will fund deeper drilling at Kalayi, new targets at Mont Agoma, and an airborne geophysical survey across the licence area. With tin prices and demand both moving in the right direction, and a new board appointment strengthening local DRC expertise, Barrett painted an encouraging picture of a company quietly building toward a strategic partnership.

    Tooru boosts buy-and-build strategy with Mylky deal

    Tooru PLC (AIM:TOO, FRA:73N) CEO Scott Livingston talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the deal to buy Mylky BV, a Dutch e-commerce business that sells small home appliances enabling consumers to make their own plant-based milks, and how it fits into the company’s broader growth strategy. Livingston outlined how Mylky has achieved rapid success, growing to €9 million in revenue within just two years. He attributed this to the product’s unique technology, strong intellectual property, and highly effective direct-to-consumer marketing approach across Europe. He said, “Mylky in a very short space of time has… grown exponentially,” highlighting the strength of the brand’s execution and market fit. The acquisition, valued at £12 million, was structured to minimise risk while leveraging Mylky’s profitability, cash position, and subscription-based business model. Livingston emphasised the importance of recurring revenue streams, including ingredient subscriptions and potential cross-branding opportunities with Pulsin. The deal also brings access to a customer base of over 70,000 users, which he described as a valuable asset for future growth. Looking ahead, Livingston identified the UK as a major untapped opportunity. The company plans to launch Mylky in the region through a co-branded strategy with Pulsin, supported by data-driven marketing and consumer insights gained from other European markets.

    $150 billion and counting: Why HANetf says drones are the defence trade you can't ignore

    HANetf co-CEO Hector McNeil joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to make the case for the Drone UCITS ETF (LSE:DRON), targeting what he estimates will be $150 billion of drone spending between now and 2030. McNeil explained that modern conflicts have turned drones into a dominant force — low-cost, scalable, and increasingly decisive on the battlefield. But the opportunity extends beyond defence, with commercial applications in agriculture, logistics and beyond, continuing to expand. The ETF takes a pure-play approach, focusing on companies where drones are core to the business rather than a footnote in a large aerospace conglomerate's accounts. The index also includes mechanisms to fast-track new IPOs, keeping exposure current as the sector evolves rapidly.

    Purepoint Uranium expands Nova discovery at Dorado Project with strong winter drill results

    Purepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive to report strong results from the company’s winter 2026 drill program at the Nova Discovery, part of the Dorado Joint Venture Project in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. Purepoint, operator of the 50/50 joint venture with IsoEnergy, completed 5,210 metres of drilling across nine holes within the Nova Zone. The program successfully extended both uranium mineralization and favourable geology, further strengthening the discovery. Downhole probe readings reached a peak of 73,100 counts per second, building on previously reported assay grades of up to 8.1% U₃O₈ at the Nova Discovery. Assay results from the winter 2026 program are currently pending. Frostad noted that the drilling campaign expanded mineralization at Nova and extended the associated geological contact to approximately one kilometre in strike length. The results have also helped establish a more refined targeting framework to support continued exploration and expansion. Looking ahead, regional drilling at the Dorado Joint Venture Project is expected to resume in late June 2026. In addition, an airborne MobileMT survey is planned for the spring, with interpretation results set to guide summer drill targeting. #proactiveinvestors #purepointuraniumgroup #tsxv #ptu #otcqb #ptuuf #UraniumExploration #DoradoProject #NorthernSaskatchewan #NovaDiscovery #IsoEnergy #HighGradeUranium #MiningExploration #DrillingResults #Geophysics #ResourceExpansion #NuclearEnergy #CriticalMinerals #ExplorationUpdate #SaskatchewanMining

    1911 Gold advances True North Mine dewatering and prepares for restart

    1911 Gold Corporation CEO Shaun Heinrichs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on progress at the True North mine, highlighting key milestones in the company’s dewatering and rehabilitation efforts. Heinrichs reported that the dewatering program has reached approximately four metres below Level 26, enabling crews to begin rehabilitation work on that level. Dewatering to the bottom of the shaft is expected to be completed before the end of May. Once rehabilitation on Level 26 is finished, the company plans to advance diamond drilling in the high-grade 710–711 zone and begin development work required to support a return to production next year. Crews have already started cleanup activities in the shaft area on Level 26, followed by repairs to essential systems, including compressed air, ventilation, and electrical infrastructure. After dewatering the remaining 50 metres below Level 26, the company will inspect and repair the loading pocket, a critical step for test mining activities scheduled later this year. In parallel, 1911 Gold has made significant progress upgrading its mill processing facility. This includes placing deposits on a new crushing circuit to support the planned restart timeline. The mill is currently expected to be operational by mid-2026, excluding the new crushing circuit, which is scheduled for completion later in the year. To support increased activity, a new camp facility has been installed, adding capacity for 36 personnel, with an additional camp expansion planned for the third quarter of 2026. The company is also continuing to secure mobile mining equipment, either through acquisitions or deposits on new units, to support upcoming test mining and a full operational restart targeted for 2027. #proactiveinvestors #1911goldcorporation #1911gold #tsxv #aumb #otcqx #aumbf #GoldExploration #TrueNorthMine #GoldMining #MineRestart #Dewatering #MiningOperations #HighGradeGold #DiamondDrilling #MineDevelopment #ProcessingPlant #MiningInfrastructure #ResourceDevelopment #ExplorationUpdate #CanadianMining #JuniorMining
