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.

Liberty Star Minerals Chairman Pete O’Heeron and Director Gerardo King joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on their recent trip to Washington, D.C. this week for a series of high-level meetings with Congressional offices to discuss the urgent need for U.S. investment in the exploration and development of critical minerals. The company’s leadership sat down with influential policymakers, including Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, to emphasize the strategic importance of securing domestic sources of minerals essential to national security, clean energy, and technological innovation. “The United States is at a critical juncture in ensuring the security of its supply chain for critical minerals,” said Chairman Pete O’Heeron. “We can no longer afford to rely on foreign nations for the materials that power everything from smartphones to fighter jets. It’s imperative that the U.S. government take a leadership role in funding and incentivizing domestic mineral exploration. Liberty Star Minerals is ready to be part of that solution.” The discussions highlighted the urgent need for a coordinated national effort to support projects like Liberty Star’s Hay Mountain Project in southeast Arizona—one of the most promising undeveloped mineral properties in the U.S. The project targets a diverse range of high-demand strategic metals including copper, lithium, and rare earth elements, which are vital to the defense sector, the transition to clean energy, and the advancement of next-generation technologies. #proactiveinvestors #libertystarminerals #otc #lbsr #redrockcanyon #arizona #LibertyStarMinerals #USMining #StrategicMetals #CopperExploration #GoldOutlook #DomesticResources #MineralSupplyChain #ProactiveInvestors

Lancaster Resources Vice President of Engineering and Operations Andrew Watson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company has entered into a definitive Mineral Claim Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% ownership of the Lake Cargelligo Gold Project in New South Wales, Australia. The project spans over 28,768 hectares under a single Exploration License Application and includes multiple high-grade gold and silver occurrences confirmed through historic rock chip and channel sampling, along with previous drilling. Those rock chips returning up to 204 g/t gold (Au) and 273 g/t silver (Ag). According to Watson, the company sees this as a district-scale opportunity, with more than 25 km of prospective strike and three primary target zones already identified. Watson also noted that no modern geophysics has been applied to the property to date, making this an exciting greenfield opportunity for Lancaster. The company plans to deploy field crews in Q3 2025 to begin a comprehensive exploration program, which will include modern geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling, and drill targeting. To support both the acquisition and upcoming exploration activities, Lancaster Resources also announced its intention to complete a non-brokered private placement to raise approximately $400,000. These funds will be directed toward finalizing the Lake Cargelligo acquisition and advancing the initial exploration campaign. #proactiveinvestors #lancasterresourcesinc #cse #lcr #otcqx #otcqb #lanrf #lakecargelligogoldproject #gold #newsouthwales

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to outline the company’s pivotal mission: powering the resurgence of American manufacturing by supplying domestically sourced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery materials essential to factory automation, robotics, and energy storage systems. Passalacqua emphasized that the future of U.S. manufacturing is closely tied to the widespread adoption of industrial automation and robotics—technologies that rely heavily on LFP batteries. Known for their safety, longevity, and scalability, LFP batteries are rapidly becoming the global standard for grid-scale storage and automated production systems. This shift is being accelerated by evolving national trade and security policies aimed at strengthening domestic capabilities and reducing dependence on foreign supply chains. According to First Phosphate, the demand for industrial automation is expected to soar to USD $307.7 billion by 2030. With around 60% of jobs poised to automate at least 30% of tasks, automation could boost global productivity by 1.5% annually and contribute to the creation of over 6 million new jobs. Positioning itself as a domestic solution to this global shift, First Phosphate is actively developing a vertically integrated North American LFP ecosystem—from mining to battery-grade materials. The company controls over 1,000 sq. km of high-purity igneous phosphate claims in Quebec, an area capable of supporting more than 350 GWh of LFP battery production each year. Its phosphate ore is among the cleanest in the world, naturally low in harmful elements and extractable without the use of solvents. This vertical integration strategy allows First Phosphate to manage the entire value chain, from resource extraction to the production of LFP cathode active material (CAM). The result: a fully traceable, secure, and sustainable domestic supply chain that supports the growing demands of North America’s electrified #proactiveinvestors
