Atlantic Lithium Ltd (AIM:ALL, OTCQX:ALLIF, ASX:A11) executive chairman Neil Herbert talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strategy to bring the Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana into production. Herbert acknowledged the recent downturn in lithium prices but emphasised the strong long-term demand driven by electric vehicle and battery storage growth. He highlighted Ewoyaa's position as a low-cost producer, making it attractive to off-takers looking for stable future supply. Discussing funding strategies, Herbert outlined a collaborative approach involving partners such as Piedmont Lithium, Sayona Mining, and Assore International. He also noted increasing interest from non-Chinese off-takers in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The Ghanaian government has shown strong support for the project, with mining lease ratification expected in the second quarter of the year. Herbert also discussed the project's high feldspar content, which could support Ghana’s ceramics industry, and touched on exploration potential in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. The company raised A$10 million to optimise Ewoyaa ahead of a final investment decision, expected in Q3 2025. Watch the full interview to learn more about Atlantic Lithium’s plans.

PT Asset Management CEO Sean Dranfield takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the firm's approach to bond investing and the Performance Trust Total Return Bond UCITS ETF (ISE:PTAM). Dranfield explained the concept of "shape management," a mathematical method designed to balance bond investments across different interest rate environments. Unlike traditional passive ETFs, this actively managed bond fund aims to provide a steady total return by combining offensive and defensive bonds. Dranfield highlighted that active management has historically outperformed in the bond market and shared insights into key holdings, including interest-only bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and taxable municipal bonds. He also explained why US bonds offer unique defensive benefits for European investors, particularly in uncertain rate environments. The discussion covered the fund’s investment strategy, top-performing bond sectors, and how PT Asset Management differentiates itself through quantitative-driven decision-making.

Imugene Ltd CEO Leslie Chong talked with Kerry Stevenson at Proactive about the FDA's fast-track designation for its immunotherapy candidate, Azercell. The therapy, an allogeneic off-the-shelf CAR-T treatment, has shown promising results in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a highly aggressive form of blood cancer. Chong highlighted that four out of seven patients treated with Azercell achieved complete response, meaning their cancer was no longer detectable. The longest response duration has now exceeded 11 months. “The FDA has recognised the importance of a product like this and has given us fast-track designation,” Chong stated. The FDA's fast-track status allows Imugene to expedite regulatory discussions and move towards potential commercialization more efficiently. The company sees this as a critical milestone, with Chong emphasising that the priority now is gathering sufficient data to advance towards registration studies. With an estimated 80,000 new DLBCL cases diagnosed annually in the US, Azercell could address a significant unmet need, especially for patients who have exhausted other treatment options.

North Bay Resources Inc CEO Jared Lazerson talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s ongoing progress at its Bishop Gold Mill and broader operational strategy. Lazerson confirmed the second shipment of gold concentrate has been completed, marking continued momentum. He noted, “Optimization of the gravity circuit is pretty much done,” and explained that recent bottlenecks around water are being resolved through the installation of a recirculation pump. North Bay Resources is now focused on two key next steps: increasing throughput and bringing the flotation circuit online. The latter is expected to raise recoveries by at least 30%, with potential to double them. Lazerson said, “There’s a lot of fines in the mix... flotation circuit coming online... is the next big push.” With thousands of tonnes already stockpiled and near-surface extraction plans targeting 10,000 tonnes, the company is positioning for consistent production. Lazerson emphasized the importance of shipping logistics and noted the competitive cost structure despite the haul from British Columbia to the California mill. He also outlined a strategic shift away from exploration, stating, “We really have a clear path to cash flow... we really want to be known now as a producer and development company.” North Bay Resources continues to prioritize near-term production and economic efficiency as gold prices remain strong.
