Element 25 managing director Justin Brown talked with Proactive about the recent completion of the Tokyo Bay HPMSM Facility Scoping Study in partnership with Nissin Chemical Corporation. The company said the results of the scoping study were positive enough to justify advancing the project to the pre-feasibility stage. Brown explained that the Tokyo Bay site offers unique advantages, including a co-located sulfuric acid plant, deepwater port access, and supporting infrastructure critical for high-purity manganese sulfate production. “We took our learnings from the detailed work we’ve done in Louisiana… and converted them to a Japanese setting,” Brown said. He also noted that Japan's regulatory and geopolitical environment makes it an ideal location for refining and supplying the local battery market. Looking ahead, Brown confirmed that Element 25 and Nissin Chemical will conduct deeper engineering and cost analysis under their existing MOU, with a final investment decision targeted for June 2026. The next milestone will be the pre-feasibility study, expected later this year. Brown also discussed how the Tokyo Bay project fits into the company’s broader “design one, build many” strategy, which aims to establish a global network of refineries fed by ethically sourced manganese from Element 25’s Butcherbird mine. In addition to activity in Japan, Brown highlighted ongoing work in Europe and updates on the Butcherbird expansion and Louisiana project, with construction planned to commence later this year.

ATOME PLC (AIM:ATOM) CEO Olivier Mussat talked with Proactive about a landmark milestone for the company’s Villeta green fertiliser project in Paraguay. The company has signed its first definitive engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement with Swiss firm Casale S.A. Mussat explained that this agreement marks the world’s first large-scale green hydrogen fertiliser project to reach the EPC stage, underlining its global relevance. “It’s significant for us as a company because we’ve announced that we had been working on the front-end engineering and design for more than two years now,” Mussat said, noting the long-term collaboration with Casale. He highlighted Casale’s industry-leading expertise, describing the firm as the oldest ammonia licensor globally, with the ability to deliver complex, full-chain fertiliser projects. According to Mussat, the partnership serves as a strategic blueprint for Casale’s future growth. Looking ahead, ATOME aims to reach a final investment decision on the Villeta project by the end of the first half of the year. The company is working to finalise offtake agreements and complete financial documentation for both debt and equity funding. This includes a $115 million equity commitment from Hy24, with further syndication in progress. For more updates on green hydrogen and clean energy developments, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

Tamboran Resources Ltd CEO Joel Riddle talked with Proactive about the company's newly signed letter of intent (LOI) with Arafura Resources Ltd to supply gas from the Beetaloo Basin. Riddle explained that both companies are based in the Northern Territory, and the agreement supports local strategic projects by providing 25 terajoules (TJs) per day to Arafura's critical minerals project. The agreement aligns with Tamboran’s strategy of prioritising Northern Territory gas use. “We’re a Northern Territory company. We’ve been focused on appraising the Beetaloo Basin now for all 12 years I’ve been in my job,” Riddle said, highlighting the company’s long-term commitment to the region. Riddle also pointed out the environmental edge of Beetaloo Basin gas, which has a CO2 content of about 3%, significantly lower than the 15–20% typically found in other Australian basins. He said supplying this low-carbon gas to the East Coast would help reduce emissions by displacing higher-carbon alternatives. Discussing supply capacity, Riddle compared the Beetaloo to the Marcellus Shale in the US, noting it could provide enough gas to support the East Coast for “hundreds of years”. Tamboran plans to bring 40 TJs per day online in the first half of next year under an existing 15-year agreement with the NT Government. The Arafura deal will add a further 25 TJs daily. Riddle said work is underway with pipeline partner APA to ensure infrastructure capacity. The company aims to finalise a binding gas sales agreement with Arafura soon. Watch the full interview to hear how Tamboran is positioning Beetaloo gas as a key part of the East Coast supply solution, while supporting Northern Territory industry. 👉 For more interviews and updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

North Bay Resources CEO Jared Lazerson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news of the company’s first successful gold concentrate sale from a test shipment processed at the Bishop Gold Mill, using ore from the Fran Gold Project. Lazerson confirmed that final acceptance and settlement have been completed, with all refinery requirements met, and assay comparisons for gold, silver, and moisture content agreed upon. The test concentrate represents approximately 10 tons of gross ore, processed through the gravity-only circuit. Lazerson noted this marks an important milestone in the early phase of operations. The flotation circuit, which is expected to significantly enhance recovery rates, is set to come online this month. The company currently has another test shipment in process and has completed a third concentrate shipment, further validating operational momentum. The most recent sale netted approximately $400 per ton, based solely on gravity recovery. However, with further optimization and the integration of the flotation circuit, recoveries are projected to double, potentially reaching over 90% total recovery. This would raise the value per ton to around $800, significantly improving project economics. North Bay Resources currently has 75 tons of ore stockpiled at the Bishop Gold Mill, which will be processed as part of continued optimization and ramp-up. Additionally, there are approximately 5,000 tons of ore stockpiled at the project site, positioning the company for a steady flow of future shipments as operations scale. The CEO also discussed the reinterpretation of 15 years of historical drilling data—104 holes covering 18,000 metres—which has revealed the potential for a bulk tonnage deposit. This reinterpretation aligns with nearby major low-grade, high-volume gold projects like Mount Milligan and Blackwater. #proactiveinvestors #northbayresourcesinc #otc #nbri #PlatinumConcentrate #NorthBayResources #MiningNews #CaliforniaGold #JaredLazerson #G
