Greatland Gold PLC managing director Shaun Day talked with Proactive about the company’s updated ore reserve for the Telfer gold-copper mine and its forward-looking development strategy. Day outlined the release of a 712,000-ounce gold and 23,000-tonne copper ore reserve for Telfer, achieved just five months post-acquisition. This comes on the heels of a 3.2 million ounce resource estimate, collectively taking the total resource base, including Havieron, beyond 10.0 million ounces. “This is really built on the back of Michael Thompson and his team,” Day said, noting the speed and scale of the update. He emphasized that the reserve confirms continuity at Telfer as Havieron ramps up, avoiding any production gap. Day also discussed the two-year dual-train production outlook through FY27 and emphasized the production and cost benefits expected once Havieron, a significantly higher-grade and lower-cost asset, is integrated. An updated feasibility study aims to expand Havieron from 2.8 to 4–4.5 million tonnes per annum, potentially via conveyor infrastructure to enhance economics and ESG performance. Looking ahead, Day pointed to opportunities to extend mine life, increase drilling, and develop the West Dome Underground. “The team is really humming right now,” he said.

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

Kodal Minerals PLC (AIM:KOD) CEO Bernard Aylward talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the recent progress on its Bougouni lithium project in Mali, focusing on key milestones that position the company for near-term spodumene concentrate exports. Aylward confirmed the successful transfer of the mining licence, a critical step that marks the completion of regulatory formalities and moves the project into its next phase. "We've been very diligent with the work there to make sure that the licence is transferred. That now sits in our mining company," he noted. Kodal is now advancing toward exporting its first product, with export permitting processes underway and plant optimisation continuing. Aylward indicated that export activity is anticipated in the next quarter, contingent on meeting final compliance checks and ensuring the plant operates at peak efficiency. The company has also built a stockpile of over 17,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate while continuing drilling at the Boumou prospect to expand its resource base. Aylward emphasised ongoing work on-site, including improvements to plant infrastructure and mining operations, all geared toward maximising long-term project value.

S&U PLC chairman Anthony Coombs takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's full-year results to the end of January 2025. Despite regulatory headwinds in its Advantage Motor Finance division, the company reported stable revenue, with record results from its Aspen Bridging arm. Coombs highlighted the impact of an FCA Section 166 investigation, which added approximately £1.5 million in costs and prompted an £11 million increase in provisions. While these factors significantly reduced profitability in the motor finance business, he expressed confidence that such challenges would not repeat in the coming year. "We've dealt with our customers in a responsible and... Christian-like manner," Coombs said, reflecting on the company's values-driven approach to business. He also noted that internal morale, temporarily shaken during the FCA review, was now recovering strongly. In contrast, the Aspen Bridging division achieved record revenue, profit, and transaction levels. Launched in 2017 to meet demand for bridging and small development finance, the division has proven to be a strategically sound addition to S&U's portfolio. Looking ahead, Coombs expressed cautious optimism for the UK economic landscape, suggesting that interest rates might stabilise. He emphasised the importance of robust underwriting as a defence against economic uncertainty, saying the company has weathered similar conditions in the past eight years.
