  • Rift Helium targets AIM debut with scalable Tanzania project

    Rift Helium targets AIM debut with scalable Tanzania project
    Apr 10 2026
    Rift Helium plc (AIM:RIFT) CEO Charles FitzRoy talked with Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion about the company’s upcoming AIM listing, its strategic helium assets in Tanzania, and the growing importance of primary helium supply in global markets. FitzRoy outlined how Rift Helium is positioning itself as a key player in a sector where over 90% of supply is currently produced as a byproduct of natural gas. He explained: “Over 90% of the worlds helium currently is produced as a byproduct of natural gas… Rift is not associated with hydrocarbons… it is going to be primarily helium.” This distinction underpins the company’s strategy to develop a scalable, standalone helium project in a proven basin, adjacent to existing discoveries in Tanzania. FitzRoy highlighted recent global supply disruptions, particularly linked to Qatar, which have removed a significant portion of helium production and reinforced the need for reliable primary sources. With a P50 resource estimate of 19BCF, Rift Helium’s flagship licence represents a sizeable opportunity compared to global demand of 6.5BCF last year. The CEO also detailed the company’s near-term plans following its £8 million IPO raise, including 3D seismic work and drilling two targeted wells expected in the next 12 months. He emphasised the company’s cost efficiency due to relatively shallow drilling depths and its “third mover” advantage, benefiting from prior industry groundwork in Tanzania.

  • Quantum Blockchain Technologies CEO explains Sipiem recovery action, next steps

    Quantum Blockchain Technologies CEO explains Sipiem recovery action, next steps
    Apr 10 2026
    Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC (AIM:QBT, FRA:BYA1) CEO Francesco Gardin talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest developments in the company’s legal recovery efforts and ongoing proceedings involving multiple defendants. Gardin opened with a positive update regarding Mediapolis, explaining that after a lengthy bankruptcy process, the company has now reached a settlement. He confirmed that QBT is set to receive 10% of the proceeds, amounting to €132,000, with payment expected within the next 60 days. The discussion then turned to the concept of court-supervised liquidation under Italian law. Gardin described this as a process similar to private bankruptcy, where a court oversees the disposal of a defendant’s assets, with proceeds distributed to creditors. He clarified that this specific case relates to one of several defendants involved, stating that there are “seven individuals and two insurance companies” connected to the broader legal actions. Gardin emphasised that while one defendant has entered this process, the company continues to pursue asset recovery from others. He noted: “Given the position of exposure that the individual has with us, I mean we are in a very good position.” The CEO also confirmed that real estate assets tied to the case will be auctioned under court supervision, and that QBT is actively filing requests to seize and sell assets across multiple cases.

  • PT Asset Management's Sean Dranfield on bonds: income & yield curve insights

    PT Asset Management's Sean Dranfield on bonds: income & yield curve insights
    Apr 10 2026
    PT Asset Management CEO Sean Dranfield talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the current bond market environment, highlighting why he believes conditions are increasingly attractive for investors despite geopolitical uncertainty and shifting rate expectations. Dranfield explained that recent geopolitical events, including tensions involving Iran, have had a surprisingly muted impact on bond markets. He noted that both interest rates and credit spreads have seen only modest movement, reinforcing the difficulty of predicting market direction. He said this underscores the importance of focusing on fundamentals rather than forecasts. A key theme of the discussion was the opportunity at the long end of the yield curve. Dranfield pointed out that steep yield curves and higher starting yields are creating compelling return potential. He explained that even a modest decline in rates could generate strong returns, stating that investors can benefit from both income and price appreciation over time. At the same time, he highlighted opportunities in high-quality structured credit on the short end of the curve, including AAA-rated instruments. These investments, he said, can deliver “really attractive single digit total returns without reaching for either credit risk or interest rate risk,” offering stability regardless of rate movements. Dranfield emphasised a balanced approach, combining longer-duration bonds with shorter, defensive positions to manage volatility while capturing upside potential. He added that portfolios are currently positioned with a strong defensive component to help buffer against uncertainty.

  • NanoViricides files for Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for Measles Drug

    NanoViricides files for Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for Measles Drug
    Apr 9 2026
    NanoViricides CEO Dr Anil Diwan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has filed an application for Rare Pediatric Disease Drug Designation with the U.S. FDA’s Office of Orphan Products Development for NV-387 as a treatment for measles. The RPDD application is expected to be combined with the company’s previously submitted Orphan Drug Designation application for NV-387, filed in February 2026, as part of a broader regulatory strategy to advance the drug candidate. If granted, the designation would make NanoViricides eligible for a Priority Review Voucher upon approval of NV-387. PRVs are tradable assets that have recently commanded values of approximately $160 million, reflecting their ability to accelerate regulatory review timelines for other drugs. Diwan emphasized the potential impact of NV-387, stating the therapy could become an important tool in addressing the resurgence of measles in the United States and globally. He added that treatment with NV-387 may support rapid recovery while helping to reduce complications, including the rare but serious post-measles “immune amnesia” effect. Currently, there are no approved antiviral treatments specifically for measles, highlighting a significant unmet medical need. The Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher program was reauthorized in February 2026 under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, reinforcing incentives for companies developing therapies targeting serious pediatric conditions. Measles cases have been rising in the United States, with more than 1,600 laboratory-confirmed cases reported across 33 states as of early April 2026, according to the CDC. While hospitalization rates have declined compared to 2025, the disease continues to pose risks, particularly among pediatric populations, which account for approximately 70% of cases. #proactiveinvestors #nanoviricidesinc #nyseamerican #nnvc #measles #nanoviricides #NV387 #OrphanDrugDesignation #AntiviralTherapy #ClinicalTrials #PhaseII #OrphanDrugDesignation #FDA #Measles #Antiviral #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalResearch #Biopharma #PediatricHealth #GlobalHealth

  • Delta earnings and strong travel demand point to airline ETF opportunity

    Delta earnings and strong travel demand point to airline ETF opportunity
    Apr 9 2026
    U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the strength of global travel demand and what it means for airline investments and the Jets ETF. Holmes highlighted that despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and rising fuel costs, the airline industry continues to perform strongly, pointing to record quarterly revenue reported by Delta Air Lines as a key example. He described the sector’s performance as a positive signal for the broader economy, noting, “It’s like the canary in the coal mine, but in a good way… global travel demand is just strong.” Airlines have been able to pass on higher ticket prices while maintaining robust demand, supported by increased global mobility in the post-pandemic environment. The discussion also explored evolving travel patterns, including strong north-south traffic between North America and Latin America, as well as rising activity across Asia. Holmes pointed to the growing influence of digital nomads and seasonal travelers, who are helping drive bookings beyond pre-pandemic levels. He also highlighted a competitive advantage held by Delta, noting that its ownership of a refinery helps manage fuel costs and protect margins during periods of oil price volatility. Beyond airlines, Holmes emphasized continued strength in adjacent sectors such as cruise travel and cargo shipping, suggesting that the “underlying belly of the global economy remains pretty strong.” Looking ahead, he expressed optimism that geopolitical disruptions will prove temporary, while global travel demand continues its upward trajectory—supporting long-term opportunities in airline equities and ETFs such as the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS). #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #TravelETFs #JETS #TRIPETF #FrankHolmes #USGlobalInvestors #AirlineStocks #CruiseStocks #SmartBeta #TravelBoom #ProactiveInvestors #USGlobalInvestors #FrankHolmes #TRIPETF #TravelStocks #CruiseStocks #AirlineETF #TravelTrends #PostCovidTravel #StockMarketInsights #ETFInvesting #CruiseBoom #AirlineDemand

  • Rome Resources CEO on strongest tin intercepts yet at Kalayi

    Rome Resources CEO on strongest tin intercepts yet at Kalayi
    Apr 9 2026
    Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR, FRA:33R) CEO Paul Barrett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest drilling results from the Kalayi prospect in the Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighting what he described as the strongest intercepts achieved to date. Barrett explained that the recent campaign, which covered over 3,000 metres of drilling, focused largely on Kalayi and delivered significantly wider intercepts than previously seen. He noted that “5 or 6 of the holes in this sequence have been much, much better… in terms of the widths of the intercepts,” pointing to encouraging signs for the project’s scale. The company has been targeting deeper extensions of previously identified mineralisation, with early XRF readings suggesting strong continuity. While Barrett cautioned that these results remain semi-quantitative until lab assays are confirmed, he expressed confidence that the increased widths should provide a reliable indication of overall mineralisation. Importantly, new intercepts in previously untested areas could expand the footprint of the deposit. Barrett said this “could increase the footprint quite a lot,” adding that mineralisation remains open at depth, presenting further exploration upside. Looking ahead, Rome Resources is assessing next steps, including potential drilling strategies to access deeper zones more efficiently. The proximity of Kalayi to the Alphamin operation - just eight kilometres away - also provides a clear pathway toward potential development and commercialisation.

    TNR Gold chair on Altius C$4.2M investment, Mariana royalty flow, Los Azules & Shotgun projects
    Apr 9 2026
    TNR Gold Corp (TSX-V:TNR, FRA:TNW, OTC:TRRXF) executive chairman Kirill Klip talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest strategic milestone following a C$4.2 million investment from Altius Minerals, a major Canadian royalty company. Klip described the investment as a strong endorsement of TNR Gold’s long-term strategy, noting that Altius has taken a non-control position of 23.5 million shares. He said: “It’s a strategic non-control position that signals confidence in our company,” highlighting the significance of backing from a well-established player in the mining royalty sector. The announcement triggered a strong market response, with TNR Gold’s share price rising 30% following the news. Klip pointed to this as validation of the company’s corporate development strategy and growing recognition of its royalty portfolio. He also outlined how the investment strengthens TNR Gold’s financial position, enabling it to advance its goal of becoming a leading green energy metals royalty and gold company. The company is now focused on expanding its royalty holdings and delivering shareholder returns through potential buybacks and future dividends. Looking ahead, Klip noted that TNR Gold expects to begin receiving royalty payments in the near term, supported by production progress at its Mariana Lithium project, while continued developments at Los Azules and other assets provide additional upside.

  • Fineqia International's Matteo Greco on Q1 crypto ETP trends, Q2 outlook

    Fineqia International's Matteo Greco on Q1 crypto ETP trends, Q2 outlook
    Apr 9 2026
    Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest trends shaping crypto markets in Q1 2026, highlighting how geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty are influencing investor behaviour. Greco explained that Bitcoin continues to dominate institutional allocations, now accounting for over 81% of total crypto ETP assets under management. He noted, "BTC represents the equivalent of a safe haven in terms of crypto," as investors shift away from more volatile assets during periods of heightened uncertainty. This risk-off sentiment has been driven by geopolitical developments, including tensions involving Iran and the US, as well as concerns around inflation and potential stagflation. The discussion also explored why Ethereum has seen negative ETP flows despite price gains, with Greco attributing this to profit-taking following a strong 2025 and broader caution in the altcoin market. Meanwhile, basket ETPs have underperformed significantly, reflecting their exposure to smaller, less liquid assets that are more vulnerable during downturns. Looking ahead, Greco suggested that the next few weeks will be critical in determining the trajectory for Q2 2026, particularly as markets assess the impact of rising oil prices and evolving geopolitical risks. Despite recent market weakness, the continued growth in ETP listings signals long-term confidence in the sector.
