Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) Plc (AIM:EOG) CEO Will Holland talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's submission of a planning application for the Cloughton appraisal well in Yorkshire. The application seeks approval to drill and test a gas field originally discovered in 1986. Holland explained that advancements in technology and improved gas prices now make it viable to extract gas at commercial rates. The appraisal well will determine the feasibility of full-field development. He also discussed the launch of a dedicated community engagement website, designed to provide local stakeholders with transparent information, including independent environmental and regulatory reports. Holland emphasised that the project follows strict UK regulations and aims to minimise environmental impact. Addressing concerns, he clarified that fracking is not involved, citing confirmation from Energy Minister Michael Shanks. He also noted that increased heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic would be minimal, at around 1% during operations. Holland stressed the project's potential benefits, including job creation and reducing the UK's reliance on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG). “If you're concerned about the environment, you should be supporting domestic gas production. And that's exactly what this is,” he stated. For more interviews with industry leaders, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

West Cobar Metals Ltd (ASX:WC1) managing director Matt Szwedzicki talked with Proactive's Jonathan Jackson about the company’s latest metallurgical results from the Bulla Park project. Early-stage testing has delivered high-grade copper, silver, and antimony concentrates with strong recoveries. Szwedzicki described the initial float test results as amazing. A key challenge at Bulla Park has been the presence of tetrahedrite, a less common mineral in Australia. However, recent testing has demonstrated successful separation and recovery processes. The company has now achieved 88% extraction of antimony, a commodity that has surged in value due to reduced exports from China. Szwedzicki also discussed West Cobar’s broader strategy, including plans to optimise metallurgical processes, assess a mineral resource estimate, and advance drilling at Bulla Park. Beyond this, the company is progressing its Salazar project in Western Australia, which holds rare earths, scandium, and alumina resources. The recent acquisition of the Mystique Gold Project further strengthens West Cobar’s portfolio, adding a promising gold exploration target. Stay tuned for more updates from West Cobar Metals.
