    Imugene CEO on Phase 1b azer-cel data: second complete response

    Imugene Ltd MD and CEO Leslie Chong talked with Proactive about the company reporting a second complete response in the concurrent Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor, or BTKi, cohort of its ongoing Phase 1b azer-cel trial. The latest response was recorded in the first mantle cell lymphoma, or MCL, patient treated in the azer-cel Phase 1b study. The patient had previously received and failed BTKi therapy before achieving a complete response at the Day 28 assessment. The result follows closely after Imugene Ltd reported its first complete response in the concurrent BTKi cohort, highlighting a second early response in a patient group that has relapsed on or is refractory to BTKi therapy. Chong said MCL can be an aggressive disease and that patients who progress after BTKi therapy can face a steep decline. azer-cel is being studied in combination with an existing approved therapy, to help make BTKi treatment work again. She also discussed increased business development activity and ongoing conversations with pharmaceutical companies, describing collaboration and partnering as the organic next stage of development.

    Lightning Minerals confirms rhyolite-hosted gold at Mt Turner

    Lightning Minerals Ltd managing director Troy Brice talked with Proactive about the company’s Mt Turner Gold Project in northern Queensland and the results of an independent University of New South Wales petrology study, which confirmed the presence of rhyolite intrusion-hosted gold mineralisation. Brice said the study provided “strong, independent validation” of Lightning Minerals Ltd’s exploration model and supported the company’s view that Mt Turner may host a large-scale district gold system. The study was based on selected drill core from the company’s 2025 diamond drilling program and found that gold mineralisation is associated with rhyolite and dacite intrusions along the 14-kilometre Drummer Fault corridor. Brice explained that the findings indicated a large-scale, long-lived mineralised system rather than a series of separate mineralised pockets. He said the results were “better than expected” and gave the company further confidence that it is applying the right exploration plan and drilling in the right locations. The company plans to use the petrology findings to refine targets ahead of its Phase 2 drilling program, which is scheduled to start in mid-July 2026. Brice said the program would help build toward Phase 3 drilling in November and support the company’s work toward a future mineral resource estimate.

    Bradda Head Lithium chair: why analysts see major upside

    Bradda Head Lithium Ltd (AIM:BHL) executive chairman Ian Stalker joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the Whistlejacket lithium project in Arizona and why recent analyst coverage points to a significant valuation opportunity. Stalker said independent research from Greenwood Capital and Shard Capital both concluded the company could be worth considerably more than its current market valuation. He attributed the gap partly to Bradda Head keeping a low profile until the Rio Tinto joint venture was completed, while improving lithium sector sentiment is now drawing renewed investor attention. The Rio Tinto partnership, he noted, has added considerable value through the major's thorough approach to project evaluation. Beyond Whistlejacket, Stalker highlighted the Basin clay project, which already hosts a compliant resource, reinforcing the strategic value of the company's diversified US portfolio. Near-term milestones include drilling expected before the end of July, a maiden compliant resource at Whistlejacket targeted for early 2027, and an internal goal of reaching production by end of 2027. "We're moving from an exploration company... into a resource company, putting them into real numbers, and from that into an operational company where cash flow is a guaranteed successful input," Stalker said. Watch the full interview to hear Ian Stalker's views on Bradda Head Lithium's growth strategy, project development plans and the outlook for the lithium market.

    Metals One MD on 2025 pivot to gold and uranium plus upcoming milestones

    Metals One PLC (AIM:MET1, FRA:HT7, OTCQB:MTOPF) managing director Daniel Maling joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's transformation in 2025, following a £15 million fundraising and a strategic shift away from Scandinavian nickel towards gold and uranium. Maling explained that as nickel market conditions weakened, the board made a conscious decision to reposition. "The board made a conscious decision to pivot into new areas such as gold and uranium," he said. Impairment charges were taken against the Black Schist nickel project, though the assets are retained for their long-term optionality. The balance sheet has moved, he said, "significantly into what we feel is more tangible gold and uranium projects." On uranium, DISA Technologies is expected to assess uranium values in US waste dumps over the next six to twelve months under a revenue-sharing arrangement, with updates to follow. Key milestones to watch include the Lions Bay Capital transaction involving South African gold and power assets, exploration through Fidelity Minerals in Peru, and potential drilling on Metals One's operated uranium and gold projects in the US.

    St George Mining hits 199.5m of high grade rare earths and niobium: raises A$60 million

    St George Mining Ltd executive chairman John Prineas talked with Proactive about the company’s latest progress at the 100%-owned Araxá Rare Earths and Niobium Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil, following a A$60 million capital raise and the release of its thickest mineralised intercept to date. Prineas said the funding was raised to top up cash reserves and accelerate development workstreams, with Hancock Prospecting contributing a further A$20 million and increasing its stake in St George Mining Ltd from 6% to 10%. He described the investment as “quite a strong validation” of the company’s potential, noting Hancock’s exposure to major rare earths producers outside China. The interview also covered the latest drilling result from the main deposit, where St George Mining Ltd reported 199.5 metres of high-grade mineralisation continuous from surface. Prineas said this was “a real point of difference” for the deposit, highlighting that the mineralisation starts at surface and continues down to around 200 metres. Prineas said St George is now moving toward development studies, supported by strong metallurgical test results and the appointment of Worley as feasibility technical manager. He said investors could expect further news flow over the next six months, including a scoping study, final metallurgical results and a potential final investment decision within 12 to 18 months.

    Imugene azer-cel trial shows complete response

    Imugene Ltd managing director and CEO Leslie Chong talked with Proactive about the first complete response reported in the concurrent Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor, or BTKi, cohort of the company’s ongoing Phase 1b azer-cel trial. Chong said the result was an important milestone for patients with limited remaining treatment options, particularly those who had relapsed on or become refractory to BTKi therapy. The first patient in the cohort, who had follicular lymphoma and had previously failed BTKi therapy, achieved a complete response at the Day 28 assessment. Chong explained that a complete response means the patient’s cancer was “completely gone”, adding that patients who fail BTK inhibitors often have few alternatives. She said Imugene is evaluating whether azer-cel can be used concurrently with BTKi therapy to help restore or enhance treatment activity. She also highlighted the commercial relevance of BTKi therapy, describing it as a market worth about US$12 billion. Chong said azer-cel’s off-the-shelf, allogeneic CAR-T profile could offer an availability advantage compared with traditional autologous CAR-T therapies, which may require patients to wait several weeks for their own cells to be re-engineered. Imugene has dosed four patients so far in the concurrent BTKi combination cohort and plans to provide further updates as the dataset matures.

    Arizona Gold & Silver reports up to 99% gold recovery at Philadelphia project

    Arizona Gold and Silver CEO Mike Stark joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss encouraging metallurgical test results from the Philadelphia gold-silver project in Mohave County, Arizona, highlighting strong gold recoveries through both agitation and heap leach processing. Stark said agitation leach cyanidation achieved gold recoveries of 91% to 99% using modest grind sizes of 0.40 to 0.136 mm (40–110 mesh). More than 50% of the total gold was recovered within the first 10 days of column leaching, demonstrating rapid extraction characteristics. Heap leach testing also delivered positive results, with 84% gold recovery from bulk material crushed to -6.3 mm using high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) over a 177-day leach cycle. Regression analysis indicates recoveries could increase to approximately 86% over 360 days. Silver recoveries ranged from 49% to 72% through agitation leaching, while heap leach processing achieved 37% silver recovery. Testing also showed that HPGR crushing improved gold recovery by 12% compared with conventional crushing methods, while silver recovery improved by approximately 3%. Agglomeration and compaction testing demonstrated that the crushed material is suitable for heap stacking heights of 10 to more than 30 metres with the addition of only 2 to 4 kilograms of cement per tonne, supporting the project's heap leach potential. Based on the results, management believes higher-grade material could be processed through agitation cyanide leaching to maximize gold and silver recovery, while lower-grade ore could be treated economically through HPGR-assisted heap leaching. The metallurgical work was conducted on a 415.5-kilogram bulk sample collected from the current surface operation. Head assays returned 1.929 to 1.988 g/t gold and 2.82 to 3.34 g/t silver, exceeding the original target grade of 1.0 to 1.2 g/t gold. The company said the higher grades are consistent with previous sampling, reflecting the presence of fine and wire gold within the deposit. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #PhiladelphiaProject #GoldMining #SilverMining #HeapLeach #Metallurgy #MiningNews #GoldRecovery #ArizonaMining #Exploration

    Aduro and AstroTurf partner to advance chemical recycling of end-of-life synthetic turf

    Aduro Clean Technologies CEO Ofer Vi-cus joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with AstroTurf to evaluate the use of Aduro’s Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT) for recycling end-of-life synthetic turf. Vicus said the collaboration will assess how HCT, combined with mechanical pre-treatment, can recover polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) from used synthetic turf and convert those materials into liquid hydrocarbons suitable for use as circular feedstock within existing petrochemical infrastructure. The companies will work together to evaluate the full recycling process, including field recovery, material separation, removal of infill, cleaning of plastic components, and preparation of the PE/PP-rich fraction for chemical conversion. The goal is to establish a technically and economically viable recycling pathway for complex synthetic turf systems. Synthetic turf contains valuable PE and PP components in its grass blades, thatch, and backing layers, but these materials are often difficult to recover because they are combined with polyurethane backings, adhesives, sand, rubber infill, and contaminants accumulated during years of field use. Vicus noted that Aduro has already demonstrated through laboratory testing that its Hydrochemolytic™ Technology can selectively convert the PE and PP portions of post-use synthetic turf into shorter-chain hydrocarbon products suitable for further upgrading or use as steam cracker feedstock. The latest agreement builds on that work and follows earlier testing conducted with another global synthetic turf manufacturer. The collaboration is expected to help define a practical recycling pathway for synthetic turf while supporting broader circular economy initiatives within the plastics and sports infrastructure industries. Looking ahead, Vicus described 2026 and 2027 as important development years for the company. Aduro's pilot plant is now operational and is being used to evaluate a range of feedstocks while helping optimise the process for the company's first industrial-scale facility. Construction activities continue at the company's Netherlands site, where an initial 10,000-tonne-per-year unit is planned with the potential to expand to approximately 25,000 tonnes annually. Vicus also highlighted the recent expansion of the company's patent portfolio into paraffinic crude upgrading, identifying additional opportunities within the energy sector. As Vicus noted, "We feel it's again a transformative year for us. #adurocleanyechnolgies #nasdaq #adur #tsx #act #AstroTurf #ChemicalRecycling #CircularEconomy #PlasticRecycling #Hydrochemolytic #Sustainability #CleanTech #AdvancedRecycling #ESG
