Chariot CFO on $175M financing and 75MW solar project

Chariot Ltd (AIM:CHAR, OTC:OIGLF) chief financial officer Julian Maurice-Williams takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through two major announcements from the company's renewable division. The first announcement covers the financing closure of Etana Energy, Chariot’s electricity trading joint venture in South Africa. The financing totals $175 million, with backing from institutions like Norfund and Standard Bank, Africa's biggest bank. Maurice-Williams explained, “Etana is fully funded, and this strengthens its balance sheet, making it bankable and creditworthy.” The second update is a power purchase agreement for a 75-megawatt solar project in South Africa, with electricity to be traded through Etana. This project, set for construction in Q2, was enabled by the guarantee financing secured by Chariot. Maurice-Williams emphasised that these developments mark “two big steps forward for our renewable division towards first revenues.” Chariot expects further renewable projects to reach financial close soon, expanding both its trading and generation revenue streams. The company also continues advancing its oil and gas projects in Morocco and other African markets, with updates expected in the near future.

Graphene Manufacturing CEO on fuel savings & expansion

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd CEO Craig Nicol talked with Proactive about the company's latest performance testing results for G®LUBRICANT, a graphene-based engine oil additive. Nicol explained that testing conducted with the University of Queensland has demonstrated an 8.5% fuel efficiency improvement in high-load conditions. He highlighted that the additive works by reducing friction in the engine, allowing for better lubrication and fuel economy. “Thirty percent of your fuel is wasted due to piston friction, and our product addresses that issue,” Nicol stated. The interview also covered GMG’s commercial rollout strategy, initially targeting the B2B trucking market in Australia before expanding into larger diesel fuel markets globally. Nicol emphasized that truck owners could save approximately $8,000 per year in fuel costs by using the additive. Additionally, Nicol discussed GMG’s partnership with the Battery Innovation Center of Indiana to advance graphene aluminum-ion battery development. He noted that the company recently secured a $5 million capital raise to support product commercialization, expand production capacity, and explore a potential U.S. stock exchange listing.

Metro Mining boosts Bauxite output & cuts costs

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.

Altech Batteries Secures Key German Licensing Approval

Altech Batteries Ltd CFO Martin Stein talked with Proactive about the company’s recent milestone—securing final licensing approval for its CERENERGY battery plant in Germany. This approval marks a crucial step, allowing Altech to proceed with construction once financing is secured. Stein explained the significance of grid storage batteries in stabilising renewable energy supply and outlined the advantages of Altech’s sodium fluoride-based CERENERGY batteries. Unlike traditional lithium-based solutions, these batteries are fire-safe and free from critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and graphite. Discussing financing, Stein highlighted Altech’s engagement with corporate advisors KPMG to secure equity and debt partners. He also noted potential government grants and subsidies in Germany, though political transitions have created some uncertainty. Despite this, Stein expressed confidence in securing funding, backed by offtake agreements for the plant’s first five years of production. With an estimated 18-24 month construction timeline, Altech aims to play a key role in Europe's transition to sustainable energy storage solutions.
