Sprott Asset Management CEO John Ciampaglia talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the launch of the Sprott Physical Uranium ETC (ISE:SPUT) in partnership with HANetf. Ciampaglia explained that this new product is an extension of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, a popular investment vehicle that trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange. According to Ciampaglia, the new ETC aims to address a key gap in the market by providing non-institutional European investors with easier access to uranium investment. He noted that uranium plays a crucial role in the global energy transition, as nuclear energy is gaining renewed interest due to its ability to provide baseload power, energy security, and zero greenhouse gas emissions. Ciampaglia also discussed the differences between investing in physical uranium versus uranium mining stocks. He emphasised that physical uranium is often considered a cornerstone investment, while uranium miners offer greater upside potential and operating leverage. Many investors, he said, choose to balance both approaches in their portfolios. Watch the full interview for more insights into uranium investing and the future of nuclear energy.

National Stock Exchange of Australia CEO Max Cunningham talked with Proactive's Angela Harmantas from the PDAC conference in Toronto about the exchange’s role in the Australian market, its focus on mining companies, and its expansion plans. Cunningham explained that the NSX is one of two active stock exchanges in Australia with a tier-one license, allowing it to serve all investors, including retail. He highlighted that around one-third of the exchange’s listings are mining-related, with strong growth potential in the sector. Cunningham noted that NSX is working to fill a gap in the Australian venture market and is focusing on attracting mining companies, especially from regions like Perth. He also emphasized the importance of international relationships, mentioning cross-listing agreements with Canadian exchanges such as the CSE and TSX, as well as OTC Markets. Looking ahead to 2025, Cunningham discussed the challenges of IPOs due to regulatory hurdles and capital-raising difficulties. Instead, the NSX is prioritizing direct listings, which allow companies to go public without raising capital upfront. He stated that NSX is seeing increased interest from firms moving from the incumbent Australian exchange, as well as from Canadian companies seeking dual listings. #NSX #StockMarket #MiningStocks #IPOs #DirectListings #PDAC2025 #Investing #AustralianMarkets #DualListings #CapitalMarkets

Graphene Manufacturing Group CEO Craig Nicol joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share an update as the company continues to make strides in the development of its Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery technology, a cutting-edge innovation being pursued in collaboration with the University of Queensland and Rio Tinto under a Joint Development Agreement. Nicol told Proactive, to accelerate battery development, GMG has signed a service contract with the Battery Innovation Center (BIC) in Indiana, USA. This partnership will support the next phase of research and optimization, leveraging BIC’s state-of-the-art 40,000-square-foot facility in Newberry, Indiana. As a globally recognized innovation hub, BIC specializes in advancing battery technologies, offering end-to-end support from research and development to prototype manufacturing and low-volume production—a critical advantage for GMG as it scales up its graphene-based energy storage solutions. Nicol emphasized that collaborating with BIC allows GMG to access advanced battery manufacturing infrastructure without incurring the high capital costs of building its own pilot production facility—an investment that could exceed AU$10 million. Through this agreement, GMG will retain full intellectual property (IP) rights over the battery development work, ensuring control over its proprietary technology while optimizing BIC’s cell design expertise and battery manufacturing capabilities. By integrating BIC’s expertise into its scale-up strategy, GMG can streamline the production of sample battery cells before committing to mass production, reducing risks and deferring large capital expenditures until the technology reaches a higher level of readiness. Looking ahead, GMG aims to optimize battery performance, produce initial test cells this year, and engage customers for validation. Nicol noted strong interest from major companies eager to integrate this technology. #proactiveinvestors #graphenemanufacturinggroupltd #BatteryTech #

Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR) CEO Paul Barrett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest assay results from drilling at Mont Agoma in the DRC. The company has identified a significant copper zone with potential for tin mineralisation at depth. Barrett highlighted that Hole 18 intersected a 250-meter copper zone, while Hole 24, drilled beneath a previous hole, revealed visible tin mineralisation, supporting their geological model. The CEO explained that all four drill rigs are currently focused on Mont Agoma, with deeper holes underway to further define the mineralisation. He noted that the system appears wider than initially expected, which is an encouraging development. Assays for Hole 24 are still pending, but early visual indications suggest strong tin content. Barrett also provided an update on the company's resource estimates, stating that the maiden inferred mineral resource for Kalayi should be available by the end of March, with Mont Agoma's estimate following within a couple of months. He emphasised the complexity of the Mont Agoma deposit due to its polymetallic nature but reassured investors that progress is steady. Stay tuned for more updates on Rome Resources' drilling program.
