PRCG | Sports Welcomes Legendary NFL Sideline Reporter Michele Tafoya to the “Crisis Communications in Sports” Podcast

PRCG I Sports

Sports public relations firm PRCG | Sports recently sat down with one of the most well respected NFL sideline reporters of all time, Michele Tafoya, to discuss the fallout following statements by current NFL personality Charissa Thompson, who admitted to sometimes fabricating reports during the early years of her career as a sideline reporter. Now more than ever, sports public relations are a critical necessity in order to address the seemingly endless stream of sensitive issues that affect athletes, teams, leagues, brands, and—in this case—media personalities. “I don’t think she (Thompson) had people like you helping her out with this,” Tafoya told hosts Jim Rocco and Cris Bruce on the PRCG | Sports ’ podcast. “I think that was to her detriment, and that’s unfortunate, she should have.” Tafoya, known for her professionalism and commitment to journalistic standards, emphasized the profound impact such admissions can have on public trust and the credibility of sports journalism as a whole. Having covered 327 national primetime TV games—a record for NFL sideline reporters—Tafoya also lamented the lack of consequence and how it reflects on the industry's approach to accountability and transparency. In response to the absence of any comment or disciplinary measures by Thompson’s employers, Tafoya rhetorically asked: “What are you saying to your entire organization by not speaking about this, by ignoring it? I think that’s a really relevant question”. Click here to listen to the full interview with Michele Tafoya on PRCG | Sports’ “Crisis Communications in Sports” podcast.

Alligator Energy ready for "very active" 2024

Alligator Energy Ltd

Alligator Energy Ltd (ASX:AGE, OTC:ALGEF) Managing Director and CEO Greg Hall speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the uranium and energy metals project development and exploration group announced two key updates from its Samphire Uranium Project in South Australia. Hall starts by addressing the resource upgrade at the project, saying that the company has successfully converted much of the inferred quality resources into a higher quality indicated resource. Along with the resource upgrade, Alligator has defined an exploration target range of 6Mt (million tonnes) to 37Mt at a grade between 390 and 903ppm eU3O8 (U3O8 equivalent basis) for a range of 14Mlbs to 75Mlbs of contained eU3O8 at 250ppm cut-off for Samphire Regarding future drilling plans, Hall confirmed that drilling rigs are scheduled to operate throughout the year. This drilling will not only cover the current resource envelope but also extend into the newly identified exploration target range, potentially increasing the project's lifespan or production rate. Hall also highlighted the company's progress towards a pilot field trial for in-situ recovery mining, a key component of their feasibility study planned for the second half of the year. This trial will assess the chemistry and economics of the extraction process. Finally, Hall spoke about updating their March 2023 scoping study. Changes include an increased indicated resource, a higher production rate, and the adjustment of the uranium price from $65 to $75 per pound. The updated study, which is nearing completion, reflects more accurate project costs and contingencies based on recent developments.

Proactive Research Analyst maintains FY24 forecast for Alpha FMC

Alpha Financial Markets Consulting PLC

Proactive research analyst Manos Halicioglu speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London after publishing a new research note on Alpha Financial Markets Consulting (AIM:AFM). Alpha FMC, a leader in consultancy for asset, wealth management, and insurance, announced robust revenue growth in its interim results for the six months ending 31st September 2023. Despite a slight dip in profitability and cash outflow, Alpha FMC's revenue increased by 7.5% to £115.6 million, with net fee income rising 7.2% to £114.8 million. The firm maintained a healthy gross profit of £38.4 million, even with margin contraction, and an adjusted EBITDA of £20.1 million. Their headcount and client base grew, indicating significant operational progress. The analysis predicts revenue of £240 million for FY24, with a gross profit of approximately £84 million. However, current growth projections don't align with the goal to double the business by 2028, suggesting potential upside. Alpha FMC's unique value proposition, large market, and strong management team are highlighted as key drivers for organic growth. Investment return estimates for Alpha FMC over the next five years have been revised to 82%, up from 55%, equivalent to an annual return of about 12.67%. This upward revision reflects the company's solid performance in a competitive market. The next expected announcement from Alpha FMC is a trading update for the year ending 31st March 2024, which will provide further insights into the company's performance and strategic direction.

Endeavour Mining Exploration EVP lays out plans for Tanda-Iguela

Endeavour Mining PLC

Endeavour Mining PLC (LSE:EDV, TSX:EDV, OTCQX:EDVMF) Executive Vice President of Exploration Jono Lawrence visits the Proactive London studio to speak with Thomas Warner about the top-10 global gold producer's exploration efforts. Endeavour operates four mines across Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso. The Tanda-Iguela property in Côte d’Ivoire continues to be Endeavour’s largest exploration focus, with over 226km of drilling completed on the property since late 2021, 168km of which has been completed during YTD 2023. Lawrence gives more detail about progress as Tanda-Iguela, where a 303% increase in indicated ounces led to a significant 4.5 million ounce yield. This achievement is part of Endeavour's strategy to establish tier-one assets and expand its exploration portfolio. He says that a key factor in Endeavour's rapid progress is its ability to mobilize resources quickly, thanks to its extensive network in West Africa. In 2022 alone, Endeavour expanded its drilling program from 70,000 to 180,000 metres. This efficiency is underpinned by the company's considerable investment in technical staff and drilling equipment. Lawrence outlines the company's next steps, including the exploration of seven priority satellite targets near the Assafou deposit. These targets, spanning a 12-kilometre strike length, promise similar mineralization styles as seen in Assafou itself. He adds that Endeavour's upcoming plans at Tanda-Iguela involve a pre-feasibility study, extensive metallurgical test work, and community engagement initiatives.

Sarytogan Graphite achieves "truly exceptional" purity levels

Sarytogan Graphite Ltd

Sarytogan Graphite Ltd (ASX:SGA) MD Sean Gregory provides an update on work at the company's graphite project in Kazakhstan, where the focus has been on achieving exceptional purity levels in graphite production, crucial for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Gregory highlights a significant milestone, achieving 99.998% graphite purity, with only 20 parts per million remaining of other minerals. The accomplishment is an important advancement for Sarytogan, signalling the ease with which it can now achieve high purities. Notably, the process was conducted on raw concentrate, bypassing an interim step, which is expected to enhance the project's economic feasibility. The next steps involve the sterilisation process to shape graphite flakes into spheres, optimising battery performance. Results from this phase are expected shortly, with the company poised to produce its first batteries.. Regarding the Pre Feasibility Study (PFS), Gregory expresses enthusiasm about the project's economics, citing the low-cost base in Kazakhstan, abundant infrastructure, and skilled workforce. He says the PFS is progressing well, and Saratoga aims to release it no later than the third quarter of the following year. Gregory encouraged stakeholders to stay tuned for more updates as the company continues to advance. Contact Details Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com
