Metro Mining Ltd CEO Simon Wensley talked with Proactive about the company’s expansion efforts and market outlook. Over the past two years, Metro Mining has invested $36 million to increase production capacity from 3.5–4 million tonnes to 7 million tonnes. The expansion includes key infrastructure upgrades, such as maintenance on the barge loader and the addition of a wobbler screening circuit to enhance wet weather operations. Wensley highlighted the importance of bauxite, the raw material for aluminum, in sectors like energy transition, electric vehicles, and construction. He noted that Metro Mining is positioning itself as one of the lowest-cost producers in the Asia-Pacific region, allowing the company to maintain strong margins even in market downturns. With record bauxite trade levels in recent years and growing aluminum production in China, India, and the Middle East, Metro Mining is targeting 6.5–7 million tonnes in shipments for 2025. Wensley also discussed the company's goal of improving financial resilience, reducing debt, and potentially returning value to shareholders by year-end.

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.

Surefire Resources NL (ASX:SRN) managing director Paul Burton talked with Proactive about the company’s newly executed heads of agreement with HMS Bergbau, a German-based commodity trading firm. The deal secures an offtake for all critical minerals from Surefire’s Victory Bore project, marking a major step towards commercialisation. Burton explained that HMS Bergbau approached the company following Surefire’s entry into Germany through its stock exchange listing. He noted that the agreement paves the way for defining product specifications and tonnages. He highlighted HMS Bergbau’s extensive global reach in critical minerals trading and its growing presence in mining operations, making it a strong strategic partner. Burton also discussed how this agreement aligns with Germany’s new €1 billion raw materials fund, which supports critical mineral projects supplying Germany and the EU. Surefire has already submitted an application for funding through KfW, Germany’s state-owned bank. Beyond Victory Bore, Surefire is advancing its Yidby Gold Project, where recent exploration has expanded mineralisation, with plans for a near-term leach operation. The company is also progressing the Copper Hill project, which has shown promising copper and zinc anomalies, with further drilling planned.
