Quantum Base CEO Tom Taylor joined Stephen Gunnion in the Proactive studio with more about the company’s upcoming listing on the AIM market and its breakthrough anti-counterfeiting technology. Quantum Base, founded in 2013 as a spin-out from Lancaster University, has developed an atomic fingerprint that offers 100% secure authentication of goods, scannable with any smartphone. “It tells you 100% if something is real or it's fake,” Taylor said, describing the technology as a major leap in the fight against counterfeiting. Taylor explained that the technology has applications across sectors including brand protection, pharmaceuticals, tax stamps, banknotes, passports and even aerospace parts. The firm is already working with clients globally—from North America to the Middle East—and targeting both commercial brands and government organisations. The IPO is expected to raise £5 million, with £4.70 million already committed and trading set to begin on Friday under the ticker QUBE. The retail offer remains open. “We really want to grow… AIM really helps us grow,” Taylor said, noting the listing will support product development and expansion into new verticals. Key uses of the funds will include expanding Quantum Base’s commercial team and scaling its product reach into global markets. Looking ahead, Taylor said investors should watch for announcements of new customers and entry into new industries as milestones on the path to profitability.

Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR) CEO Martin Rosser and CFO Bob Smeeton take Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s latest full-year results and upcoming milestones across its key exploration projects. Rosser highlighted a pivotal year for the company’s Bibemi and Mbe gold projects in Cameroon. At Bibemi, a recently completed phase five drilling campaign is feeding into a revised Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), expected this quarter. “We believe there's very good potential to not just increase the amount of gold, but also improve the category of the resource,” said Rosser. The company is also advancing an exploitation license application for the project. At Mbe, maiden drilling continues, following trenching results that indicated strong mineralisation. “We think Mbe South has significant potential to host a substantial gold deposit,” Rosser added. Smeeton detailed a £2 million reduction in operating loss and financial support from BCM International. “Since year-end, BCM have given us $1.1 million, largely replenishing CapEx,” Smeeton noted. He also confirmed progress on a joint venture agreement with Managem at the Senala project in Senegal. Rosser pointed to potential sector-wide revaluations driven by high gold prices and possible M&A activity. “Oriole’s shares are significantly undervalued,” he said.

Hillcrest Energy Technologies CEO Don Currie joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the launch of a technology evaluation project with a global Tier 1 automotive supplier. The project’s initial phase will assess the potential benefits of Hillcrest’s Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) technology in next-generation inverter applications for electric vehicles. If this phase is successful and both parties agree to proceed, subsequent phases will focus on the integration and validation of ZVS technology within the supplier’s inverter platform. Currie explained that Tier 1 automotive suppliers provide fully assembled components and systems to major automakers. This particular supplier, consistently ranked among the top 15 largest by revenue, is a global leader specializing in critical EV components like inverters. With a strong presence in the industry, the supplier plays a crucial role in advancing electric vehicle technology for manufacturers worldwide. The evaluation phase will involve a series of technical assessments aimed at eliminating switching losses and improving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance. The supplier will analyze efficiency, performance, and potential advantages of Hillcrest’s ZVS technology within its inverter architecture. The findings from this evaluation will determine potential next steps for further collaboration and integration. This project represents a key opportunity for Hillcrest to demonstrate the value of its ZVS technology, with the shared objective of enhancing EV inverter performance and delivering significant benefits to automotive customers. #proactiveinvestors #hillcrestenergytechnologiesltd #cse #heat #ptcqb #hlrtf

St George Mining Ltd executive chairman John Prineas talked with Proactive about the company's newly announced maiden JORC resource, which he says could be among the world’s most significant niobium and rare earth deposits. Prineas said the deposit features over 500 intercepts of high-grade mineralisation and boasts a rare combination of high grades and shallow mineralisation starting at surface, supporting an open pit development. “We think, possibly the second highest niobium deposit in terms of grade and, probably one of the highest rare earth deposits,” he told Proactive. He confirmed the company has already seen interest from industry players, with some expressing interest in potential partnerships and even mergers. The resource was released following St George’s acquisition of the project in late February, and the company has committed to a drill program starting in the coming weeks. According to Prineas, this program could potentially double the existing resource. In Brazil, St George has assembled an experienced in-country team and engaged a global EPC contractor to progress mine development. The company has also begun metallurgical and downstream processing studies and believes the project will deliver a commercial-grade product, supported by decades of similar production by neighbours CBMM. 👉 For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.
