OzAurum Resources kicks of diamond drilling at Boca Rica Lithium Project in Brazil

OZAURUM RESOURCES LIMITED

OzAurum Resources Ltd (ASX:OZM) has commenced drilling at the Boca Rica Lithium Project in Brazil, using its own drilling rig which has been updated to meet Australian standards. CEO and managing director Andrew Pumphrey tells Proactive's Stephen he has been in Brazil for the past few weeks preparing the site. The company has achieved significant milestones in enhancing site access and positioning the drilling rig on a steep hill. The drilling program is set to explore below a weathered zone, aiming to reach fresh rock at approximately 80 metres depth, targeting a spodumene crystal formation previously discovered in an underground adit. This zone is anticipated to yield more extensive geological data and potential significant lithium deposits. OzAurum is financially prepared for this phase, with cash of A$1.4 million and benefiting from lower operational costs due to owning its drilling equipment. Pumphrey said this cost-efficiency allows flexibility in its ongoing diamond drilling programme. The results from the first drill hole will guide future drilling efforts. Pumphrey also mentioned that sample analysis by Brazilian labs could take about a month, with results expected to influence the next steps in their exploration.

Pan African Resources CEO provides upbeat outlook amid high gold prices

Pan African Resources PLC

Pan African Resources PLC (AIM:PAF, OTCQX:PAFRY, JSE:PAN, OTCQX:PAFRF) CEO Cobus Loots tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company is experiencing a positive impact from the current high gold price, which recently crossed $2,400 an ounce. Loots pointed out the robust gold price has been supported by significant purchases from central banks and changes in US interest rates. Pan African Resources, a South African company, benefits further due to its costs being in Rand, enhancing profits when converted from the strong dollar-based gold prices. Loots refrained from predicting future gold prices but acknowledged the beneficial effect of the current high prices, which could attract new investors and potentially lead to a revaluation of companies in the sector. Despite the high gold prices, he noted that Pan African's projects are profitable even at lower prices. He specifically mentioned the Mentails tailings retreatment project, which is under construction with capital costs largely fixed, expected to reach completion by the end of the year. The current gold prices could allow for the project's capital to be recouped in under three years. Other projects like Barberton and Evander are also performing well due to the favourable gold price environment. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

Itaconix announces record revenue and improving gross margin for 2023, eyes diverse growth

Itaconix PLC

Itaconix PLC (AIM:ITX, OTCQB:ITXXF) CEO John Shaw tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company achieved a record year in 2023 with a revenue of $7.9 million, marking a compound annual growth rate of over 40% across the last five years. Shaw highlighted significant financial achievements, including an increase in gross profit margin to 31%. This improvement is strategic as it focuses on capturing value in polymer ingredients and formulations. The company's EBITDA losses are aligning with market expectations, supported by a successful fundraising event which enhances the company's financial flexibility for future growth. Operational growth was mainly driven by the cleaning sector in North America and Europe, with continued expansion expected, particularly through new applications in beauty and hygiene. However, ongoing negotiations with major merchandisers have led to a revision of revenue expectations for 2024, now projected between $6 million and $6.5 million. This adjustment is part of a broader strategy to diversify customer and application bases, ensuring long-term profitability and value capture. Looking ahead, Shaw said Itaconix plans to focus on higher-margin revenue streams, both from existing and new customers. The company is also investing in new products and processes, notably in leather and sustainable paint applications, leveraging recent technology upgrades. These initiatives are part of Itaconix's long-term goal to become a significant player in the specialty ingredients market, with aspirations to reach a $100 million revenue target.

CleanTech Lithium chairman assures that it is business as usual following CEO's resignation

CleanTech Lithium PLC

CleanTech Lithium PLC (AIM:CTL, OTCQX:CTLHF) executive chairman Dr Steve Kesler joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion after stepping into the role of interim CEO role following the resignation of Aldo Boitano for failing to disclose a loan that used his holding in the Chile-focused group as collateral. Despite Boitano's resignation, Kesler assured shareholders that the company’s projects in Chile, including drilling, hydrogeology, pilot plant operations, and environmental work, will continue unaffected. Kesler, with over 30 years of experience in the Chilean mining industry, anticipates a seamless transition. Boitano will continue as a consultant during this transition period, maintaining key relationships. CleanTech Lithium is also preparing for an ASX listing and searching for a new CEO to support this effort. Kesler said the company has made significant advancements in lithium production, achieving a milestone by producing lithium chloride through their direct lithium extraction process. Current efforts are focused on refining this product at the pilot plant to achieve battery-grade lithium carbonate, which they plan to ship for conversion in Chicago soon. Kesler indicated that substantive discussions with potential off-takers would begin post the completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) to demonstrate the resource size and economics. Regarding market dynamics, despite fluctuations in lithium prices, Kesler said he is confident that CleanTech Lithium's operational costs position them advantageously. They anticipate maintaining profitability under various price scenarios, supported by a cost structure significantly lower than current market prices.

Crossword Cybersecurity PLC

Crossword Cybersecurity PLC (AIM:CCS) group managing director Stuart Jubb tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company's Nightingale cybersecurity monitoring service performed well in the first quarter after expanding into the Caribbean.
