Flynn Gold discovers promising lithium anomalies at Parker Dome project in Western Australia

FLYNN GOLD LIMITED

Flynn Gold managing director and CEO Neil Marston discusses promising lithium results from a soil sampling programme at the Parker Dome project in Western Australia with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. This initial exploration, covering two licences over 40 square kilometres, marks Flynn Gold's first on-ground work since acquiring a one-year purchase option in December 2023. The project lies within the Forrestania Greenstone Belt, known for its pegmatite-hosted lithium deposits. The sampling involved 679 soil samples, focusing on areas with high lithium potential, identifying two pegmatite trends (western and eastern) and yielding six significant zones with lithium anomalies up to 197 ppm. These anomalies extend over large areas, correlating with caesium and tantalum values, hinting at potential lithium mineralisation. Historical drilling in 1998 intersected pegmatites, suggesting the presence of a "Goldilocks zone" for lithium mineralisation near the granite intrusive of Parker Dome. Flynn Gold plans to follow up with more soil sampling, drilling permits, and reanalysis of historical geophysical data. Additionally, exploration activities at Lake Johnson and in Tasmania for gold at the Firetower and Golden Witch projects will continue, with promising results from the Trafalgar prospect in Golden Ridge showing high-grade veins of gold.

Immunic to reveal promising MS treatment data in two poster presentations at ACTRIMS Forum 2024

Immunic Inc

Immunic Inc CEO Dr Daniel Vitt joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of data from the Phase 2 CALLIPER and CALVID-1 trials of vidofludimus calcium the company will present at the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS) Forum 2024 in West Palm Beach, Florida, from today. Vitt highlighted the significant potential of the drug in treating multiple sclerosis (MS), particularly in relation to Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation. The CALLIPER study focuses on the effects of 45 milligrams of vidofludimus calcium in patients with progressive MS, emphasising the importance of progression independent of relapse activity. October's interim biomarker data, specifically neurofilament light chain (NFL), which is related to neuronal death, was mentioned as a key aspect of the first poster. This data aims to correlate NFL reduction with the likelihood of future disability outcomes in progressive MS patients. The overlap between the CALLIPER study and the Phase 2 CALVID-1 trial, outlined in the second poster, explores the role of EBV reactivation in MS and fatigue symptoms. Vidofludimus calcium's potential to prevent EBV reactivation and reduce fatigue in MS patients is a significant finding, with implications for post-COVID syndrome as well. The CALVID-1 study also examined Vidofludimus calcium's effects on fatigue in patients treated for SARS-CoV-2, revealing a positive impact. Presenting at the ACTRIMS Forum 2024, an important scientific conference for MS research, underscores the relevance and potential impact of Immunic Inc's findings in the MS and broader medical communities.

Power Metal expands into sustainable metal extraction with GSAe deal; announces share consolidation

Power Metal Resources PLC

Power Metal Resources PLC (AIM:POW) CEO Sean Wade speaks to Proactive's Stpehen Gunnion about the strategic acquisition of a 75% stake in GSA Environmental (GSAe), a company specialising in extracting critical metals from waste products like fly ash and heavy fuel oil ash. The venture is particularly focused on residues from electricity generation and spent catalysts, promising to transform them into environmentally friendly residues while extracting valuable metals essential for the energy transition. The move is seen as a departure from Power Metal's traditional focus on incubating early-stage mining opportunities, aiming instead to provide a sustainable revenue stream to reduce dependency on capital markets. Wade highlighted the complementary nature of this acquisition to Power Metal's focus on critical metals for energy transition and the added benefit of GSAe's ICP testing capability, which will reduce costs and time for sample testing. He further elaborated on ambitious plans to scale GSA Environmental's business, particularly in Saudi Arabia and globally, leveraging proprietary technology for significant growth. The deal involves an initial payment of £75,000 in shares, with additional payments tied to profit milestones. Separately, Power Metal announced a 20-for-1 share consolidation to appeal to institutional investors and facilitate a US OTC listing, addressing market perceptions and regulatory requirements for trading above a penny. Wade reassures stakeholders that the consolidation aims to attract more investors and increase liquidity, inviting any concerns to be addressed directly.

Premier African Minerals' Zulu lithium project produces first concentrates; prepares for ramp-up

Premier African Minerals Ltd

Premier African Minerals Ltd (AIM:PREM, OTC:PRMMF) chief executive George Roach joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with the operational status of the processing plant at the company's Zulu lithium project in Zimbabwe. Despite facing some setbacks, the major components of the plant are installed and functional, enabling production to proceed from front to back. Issues encountered during commissioning are considered normal by the plant suppliers and Roach believes they are resolvable within the commissioning process, emphasizing that no major equipment replacements are necessary. Currently, the plant is producing concentrates from the Mica and Spodumene flotation sections, with analysis of these concentrates underway. Initial spot analysis suggests that spodumene is adequately liberated and recoverable at correct percentages, though attention is needed for managing pH levels during flotation—a challenge that is being actively addressed. Roach anticipates that the issues with pH management and control systems will be resolved within "hours or days," not weeks. The next steps for the Zulu project include ensuring the spodumene produced meets grade requirements and ramping up production rates to design levels, expected to take a couple of weeks.

HANetf new Sprott Junior Uranium Miners UCITS ETF hits the market, focused on smaller miners

HANetf Holdings Limited

HANetf head of research Tom Bailey discusses the launch of the Sprott Junior Uranium Miners UCITS ETF (URNJ) on the LSE and Deutsche Bourse, highlighting the growing demand for uranium due to the global shift towards nuclear energy for low carbon emissions and energy security. Bailey explained that this demand, coupled with a decade of underinvestment in uranium mining, has created a supply-demand imbalance, boosting uranium prices significantly. The Junior Uranium Miners ETF focuses on smaller-cap miners, which are poised to benefit more directly from the rising uranium prices compared to their larger counterparts. This is because larger mining companies often have long-term contracts at lower prices, whereas junior miners sell at current high prices. The ETF includes exploration companies, offering exposure to early-stage ventures that might bring uranium to market in the future. Unlike HANetf's flagship uranium ETF, the Sprott Uranium Miners UCITS ETF (URNM), which is significantly influenced by a few large companies, the junior ETF aims to provide a more balanced exposure by excluding these major players and the spot price of uranium. It features 32 companies, excluding the five largest that dominate the flagship ETF. In its first week, the junior ETF saw an 11-12% increase in price performance, outperforming the broader uranium ETF, which increased by 1% in the same period, indicating strong investor interest and market performance.

Greencoat UK Wind focuses on capital allocation following strong 2023 performance

Greencoat UK Wind PLC

Greencoat UK Wind's Stephen Lilley discusses the company's full-year results for 2023, highlighting significant financial achievements and strategic initiatives. The company reported over £406 million of net cash generation and a coverage ratio of 2.1 times. Due to its strong cash flow, the trust, which is one of the UK’s largest wind farm operators, has remained resilient despite rising interest rates and a higher discount rate. Lilley said Greencoast has focused on capital allocation, particularly as shares have been trading at a discount to net asset value (NAV), leading to an increase in the dividend for 2023 from 8.76 pence to 10 pence per share, resulting in an additional £29 million paid to shareholders. The dividend for 2024 has been increased by 14.2%, achieving a 6% return on NAV, surpassing the Retail Price Index (RPI) increase of 5.2%. Greencoat UK Wind completed £821 million in acquisitions, contributing significantly to NAV accretion. The company also reached a milestone of distributing over £1 billion in dividends over the past decade. Additionally, Greencoat UK Wind generated 1.5% of the UK's electricity demand, owning approximately 7% of the UK's wind capacity. Looking ahead, the company aims to support the expansion of wind capacity in line with government targets for 2050, focusing on owning and operating existing capacity while recycling capital into new projects. Despite some limitations due to trading at a discount to NAV, the company sees ample growth opportunities and may consider disposals to manage its capital effectively. Lilley remains optimistic about the company's performance in 2024, with stable operations and a positive outlook for February's production capacity.

Zephyr Energy reports strong fourth quarter with production increase and positive outlook

Zephyr Energy PLC

Zephyr Energy PLC (AIM:ZPHR, OTCQB:ZPHRF) CEO Colin Harrington provides an update on the company's fourth-quarter production and future plans in an interview with Proactive London's Stephen Gunnion. Harrington highlighted a 7% increase in average production across the quarter, with significant contributions from the new Slawson wells despite temporary curtailments. Revenues also rose during the quarter, despite softer oil prices and operational challenges. The company successfully navigated extreme cold temperatures at Williston over the winter, which had shut down over half the basin at one point and resulted in temporary curtailments at the Lawson site. Looking ahead, Harrington discussed the positive performance of two new wells, contributing to expected strong results for the first quarter. Zephyr Energy has also adjusted its reporting method to provide more timely and consistent information by moving to two-phase data reporting (oil and gas production) quarterly, with a detailed three-phase analysis annually. Additionally, Harrington elaborated on the company's preparations for an upcoming drill in the Paradox basin, including the completion of an intensive planning process and the finalisation of rig contracts. The company anticipates drilling in the near term and is preparing the site for operation. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com
