HANetf head of research Tom Bailey talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the launch of the new Future of European Defence UCITS ETF (LSE:ARMY, XETRA:ARMY, EURONEXT:ARMY). Bailey explained the rationale behind launching a regionally focused fund, following the success of HANetf’s Global Future of Defence UCITS ETF (NATO). He said: “We think for many investors it kind of resonates with that whole theme of building up your defence sector via a European ETF with a European company.” Bailey noted that European defence spending rose by 11.7% between 2023 and 2024, outpacing global growth of 7.5%, with Germany’s own spend increasing 23%. This uptick is attributed to geopolitical shifts and the drive for strategic autonomy. Bailey highlighted a growing preference within Europe to source defence equipment domestically, reducing reliance on US firms, which currently account for around 60% of European defence procurement. He also pointed to political developments in the US, including recent tariff announcements and perceived isolationist policies, as reinforcing Europe's need for self-reliance in defence. The ARMY ETF is currently listed on the London Stock Exchange, Xetra (Germany), and Euronext Paris, with plans to launch in Italy. Bailey emphasised HANetf’s identity as a European company as central to the ETF’s appeal and alignment with strategic autonomy objectives.

Hive Digital Technologies Chief Financial Officer Darcy Daubaras joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major milestone: the 100% completion of Phase 1 infrastructure at the company’s flagship Yguazù data center in Paraguay. This 100-megawatt (MW), air-cooled facility is backed by a fully energized 200 MW substation, positioning HIVE for substantial growth in its global digital infrastructure operations. Daubaras confirmed that the completed infrastructure enables up to 5 exahash per second (EH/s) of capacity for next-generation ASIC miners. Currently, HIVE is running 200 petahashes of hashrate at the Yguazù site using its proprietary BUZZ Miners, with an expected ramp-up to 8,000 units online by the end of April. Adding to this momentum, the company has begun receiving shipments of new-generation ASICs, including the powerful Bitmain S21+ miners. More than 20,000 units are expected to arrive before the end of May, fueling HIVE’s ambitious goal to scale to 5 EH/s in Paraguay and 11.5 EH/s total across all global operations by the end of Q2 2025. As part of its operational scale-up in Latin America, HIVE also announced a key leadership addition: Carlos Anibal Torres has joined as Paraguay Operations & Project Manager. Torres brings strategic expertise to support HIVE’s accelerated buildout and operational management in the region. With the 100 MW Phase 1 infrastructure now fully constructed and energized, the company has begun racking and powering miners, signaling the official launch of what is expected to be one of the most significant expansions in HIVE’s history. This development reinforces HIVE’s commitment to deploying high-performance, energy-efficient digital infrastructure across key global markets. #proactiveinvestors #hivedigitaltechnologieslet #tsxv #hive #nasdaq #hive #CryptoMining #GreenEnergy #BitcoinMining #ParaguayMining #DataCenter #Exahash #S21Miners #DigitalAssets #ProactiveInvestors

EnWave Corporation CEO Brent Charleton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant expansion of the company’s long-standing relationship with MicroDried, its original royalty partner and a leader in premium fruit and vegetable ingredient production. The announcement includes the signing of an Equipment Purchase Agreement and License Amendment, under which MicroDried will acquire an additional 60kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) machine to increase production capacity in response to rising demand for its clean-label, nutrient-rich ingredients. MicroDried currently operates three large-scale REV™ dehydration lines at its facility in Nampa, Idaho. Charleton emphasized MicroDried’s extensive portfolio and deep integration with leading global consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands. In addition to the new equipment purchase, the license amendment grants MicroDried exclusive rights to produce apple-based ingredients using REV™ technology within Washington, Oregon, and Idaho—further entrenching its leadership in vertically integrated, value-added fruit processing. As part of the agreement, MicroDried also holds an option to purchase a second additional 60kW REV™ machine before July 31, 2025. Should that option be exercised, a pre-negotiated bulk discount will apply—an incentive that supports long-term production scalability. With demand for shelf-stable, nutritious ingredients continuing to rise across the global food industry, this expanded partnership underscores the value of EnWave’s proprietary dehydration technology and its ability to power efficient, high-quality production at scale. #proactiveinvestors #enwavecorporation #tsxv #enw #DehydrationTech #VacuumMicrowave #RoyaltyBusinessModel #BluechipClients #FoodTech #BusinessNews #Investing #CEOInterview #Peru #Spain #Blueberry #Snacks #Royalties #TradeMission

Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd CEO Andy Carroll talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a significant milestone at the company’s Sagebrush-1 well, located in the Leadville formation. Carroll revealed that historic gas sample data from 1993 confirms the presence of helium at a concentration of 2.7%, alongside 20% methane. This discovery enables Mosman to transition from exploration to evaluating the commercialisation of the helium resource. “We were actually looking at a possible work-over at the existing well to get a gas sample, but we've got about 30 boxes of data from the previous operator and found in those boxes the original gas sample report,” Carroll said. The gas flow rate from the earlier test was in the range of 152 to 163 thousand cubic feet per day, indicating potential for commercial development. Carroll also noted the strategic benefit of methane being present alongside the helium. The methane could be used for on-site power generation to support helium processing, reducing dependence on external power sources. Additionally, existing infrastructure—including a mothballed pipeline and nearby helium plants—could significantly streamline transportation and processing. Looking ahead, Mosman is preparing feasibility studies and engaging with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and regulatory authorities to conduct further 3D seismic work. These efforts aim to refine drilling plans across the Sagebrush area and adjacent Coyote Wash leases.
