Learning Technologies Group "much more comfortable about the second half"

Learning Technologies Group PLC

Learning Technologies Group PLC (AIM:LTG, OTC:LTTHF) chief executive Jonathan Satchell speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the workplace talent development company released its interim results for the six months to 31 June 2023 Satchel provides an overview of the company's performance over the period as well as its future outlook. The firm reported £285 million in revenue for the first half, a 2.5% increase from the previous year. However, challenges arose from integrating their LEO business into the GP Strategies content business, which Satchell suggests may ultimately have cost an estimated $80 million of EBIT. Despite these challenges, Satchell expresses confidence in the company's resilience. He says the company's performance during the second half was always going to hinge on the GPLX turnaround, adding that August's figures show a strong recovery and he feels "much more comfortable about the second half." While facing softness in markets like China and Japan, the company remains optimistic about meeting analyst expectations for the full year. He also says that as they approach their 10th anniversary, the firm is being selective about acquisitions and has announced a voluntary debt repayment of $25 million. Satchell also highlighted their focus on integrating AI thoughtfully, ensuring they don't merely follow trends but leverage technology effectively.

Getech Group CEO reveals "absolute number one priority" after challenging period

Getech Group PLC

Getech Group PLC (AIM:GTC) CEO Richard Bennett speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive following a period of "restructuring and re-focusing" on what it calls its core expertise of locating subsurface resources. Bennett previously served as Getech's Chairman but took over as CEO earlier this year. He gives an overview of some of the challenges the company has faced recently, highlighting an ultimately unsuccessful pivot away from its traditional focus on oil and gas and into the nascent green hydrogen sector. He says that he has now "set the mission of the company back to finding not just oil and gas, but the subsurface assets that are really required by the energy transition" including geothermal, carbon storage and some critical minerals projects. Bennett says his immediate goal is to achieve a breakeven point for the company within the next six months, ensuring a stable foundation for future growth and avoiding the need for a potentially expensive fundraise.

Forrestania Resources extends lithium footprint at South Iron Cap East

Forrestania Resources Ltd

Forrestania Resources Ltd (ASX:FRS) MD Michael Anderson tells Proactive that recent assays from the flagship Forrestania Lithium Project in WA’s southern Yilgarn region have intersected spodumene-bearing pegmatite in multiple drill holes. The results come from a follow-up reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at South Iron Cap East, with peak lithium assays of up to 0.95% lithium oxide (Li2O) demonstrating the potential to host ore-grade mineralisation. FRS has a favourable outlook on the likely unearthing of a significant mineral-rich pegmatite formation at greater depths. The characteristic tendency of regional pegmatites to narrow and expand seem to back this optimism up. “Our work in and around South Iron Cap East continues to deliver results which highlight the potential for discovery of a significant mineralised system,” Anderson said. “We know the region is host to multiple, stacked pegmatites (including at the world-class Mount Holland Lithium Mine) and we are now consistently finding spodumene and highly anomalous lithium grades. "We remain convinced of the prospectivity across the Forrestania project and believe that a continuation of our systematic approach will ultimately unlock the potential value for our shareholders.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

Reward Minerals hails strong economics for SOP extraction technology

Reward Minerals Ltd

Reward Minerals Ltd (ASX:RWD) CEO Lorry Hughes speaks with Proactive after releasing favourable results from an engineering scoping study (ESS) which examined the potential for recovering high-purity potassium sulphate (sulphate of potash or SOP) from seawater-derived brines in northwest Western Australia. The study, in collaboration with Bechtel Australia Pty Ltd, pointed to the commercial and technological feasibility of recovering 100,000 tonnes per annum of SOP using RWD’s processing technology, called the ‘Reward process’. Capital expenditure is estimated at A$198.2 million, with an operating cost of around A$273 per tonne SOP. The ESS serves as a preliminary assessment for Reward to evaluate further technical studies and potential joint ventures with third-party solar salt and SOP companies. Hughes said: “The completion of a world-first evaluation of high-purity SOP production from seawater solar salt reject brines using the Reward Process is another important milestone not only for the company but for some solar salt and SOP producers globally. “The study was completed with process engineering support from independent engineering group Bechtel under the guidance of Reward’s in-house team of chemical and engineering experts in the very specialised field of SOP brine developments. “The low estimated operating cost of $301/tonne SOP on a FOB basis reflects the simplicity of the Reward Process and potentially positions the project favourably at the low end of the global cost curve.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com
