  Gunnison Copper expands $15M drill program as metallurgical testing accelerates

  Aug 19, 20265 min

  Gunnison Copper Corp CEO Craig Hallworth and Melissa Mackie, Vice President of Investor Relations and Communications joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s district-wide 2026 drill program at the Gunnison Copper Project in Arizona, with work focused on metallurgical optimization, resource expansion, resource conversion and defining the broader mineralized system. The company currently has two drill rigs operating on site, with the initial phase of metallurgical drilling at the Gunnison deposit now complete. Core samples have been collected and submitted to independent laboratories for analysis, with the results expected to support the company's ongoing metallurgical optimization work. Metallurgical drilling has now shifted to the Strong & Harris deposit, while the company has significantly expanded its column leach testing program. A total of 405 column leach tests are now planned, up from the previously planned 270, with 68 tests currently underway. The program has also been expanded to include 63 flotation tests designed to evaluate the potential recovery of copper, zinc and silver from sulfide ores and assess flotation as a potential processing option for the sulfide zones. Hallworth and Mackie also highlighted progress on a new core logging and storage facility, which is expected to be completed in September. Once operational, the facility will allow Gunnison Copper to significantly increase its drilling capacity, with the company planning to move from two rigs to six drill rigs in September. The expanded campaign will target several key objectives across the Gunnison and Strong & Harris deposits. These include optimizing metallurgical recoveries, testing extensions of known mineralization, identifying new mineralized zones, converting inferred resources toward measured and indicated categories, and further defining the district-scale mineralized system. The company is also investigating the potential for additional carbonate replacement deposits beneath cover, similar to the Strong & Harris discovery, which could further expand the resource potential across the broader district. The 2026 drill campaign is expected to include up to 120 drill holes totaling approximately 138,000 feet, or 42,000 metres, representing an investment of more than US$15 million. Of that program, up to 36 metallurgical drill holes will cover approximately 33,000 feet, or 10,000 metres, supported by up to 405 column leach tests and 63 flotation tests. A further 84 resource expansion and conversion holes, totaling approximately 105,000 feet, or 32,000 metres, are planned across the Gunnison and Strong & Harris deposits. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf #Copper #MiningNews #CopperMining #ResourceExpansion #ExplorationDrilling #CriticalMinerals #ShareholderValue #MineDevelopment #EnergyTransition #Metallurgical drilling

  American Rare Earths signs Novex MoU to advance U.S. rare earth metal production

  Aug 19, 20265 min

  American Rare Earths CEO Mark Wall joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s Memorandum of Understanding with Novex, LLC, a U.S. rare earth metallurgy and metallization company, aimed at advancing the conversion of separated rare earth oxides from the Halleck Creek Project in Wyoming into rare earth metals used to produce permanent magnets. Wall said the agreement creates a framework for a potential long-term commercial relationship covering process optimization, metallization of demonstration plant output, and the joint development of a domestic rare earth metal production facility. The oxide-to-metal conversion step is considered a key bottleneck in the U.S. mine-to-magnet supply chain, as magnet manufacturers generally require rare earth metals and alloys rather than separated oxides. With China dominating global rare earth processing and metal production, American Rare Earths believes developing domestic metallization capacity is strategically important to U.S. supply-chain security. The company’s review of metallization technologies identified several potential pathways, including fluoride conversion and calciothermic reduction, lanthanothermic reduction and high-temperature molten salt electrolysis. American Rare Earths said molten salt electrolysis emerged as the primary development candidate because it can reduce reliance on anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and does not consume saleable rare earth metal as a reducing agent. Novex brings metallization technology development capabilities and experience with federally funded programs to the collaboration. The companies will assess how their respective technologies and development plans can be aligned while exploring potential federal and state support for domestic critical-minerals and magnet supply chains. The parties intend to work toward a definitive long-term collaboration and supply agreement within 12 months, supported by technical working groups and regular progress reviews. Separately, the company announced the appointment of Nick Lissolo as chief commercial officer. Wall describes Lissolo as a Wyoming native who is working with the Wyoming state government on taxes and royalties, engaging with the University of Wyoming, developing downstream magnet partnerships, and leading the company's planned Nasdaq listing process. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearthslimited #asx #arr #otcqx #arrnf #adr #amrry #wyomingrareinc #HalleckCreek #RareEarths #CriticalMinerals #NASDAQ #HalleckCreek #DefenseSupplyChain #EnergyTransition #Mining #Wyoming #MiningNews #NovexLLC #PermanentMagnets #CriticalMinerals #USMining #WyomingMining #SupplyChain #MiningNews #CleanEnergy #MagnetTechnology

  U.S. Global Investors: Strong travel demand creates opportunity for airline stocks

  Aug 18, 20265 min

  U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the continued strength of the global travel industry and what the resilient demand environment could mean for airline, hotel and travel-related stocks. Holmes said the global travel sector continues to show strong momentum, with Air Canada indicating that the fall travel season could rank among its strongest ever. He pointed to a resurgence in corporate travel and a reduction in traditional seasonality as important drivers, suggesting that demand is becoming more consistent throughout the year. Holmes highlighted Delta Air Lines as a classic "growth at a reasonable price," or GARP, investment opportunity. He pointed to Berkshire Hathaway's decision to significantly increase its position in Delta, following its earlier exit during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Holmes, Berkshire increased its ownership stake by approximately 44% to about 8.7%. Despite airline ticket prices rising roughly 17% year over year, Holmes said business travel demand has remained resilient, suggesting that higher fares have not yet materially weakened corporate travel activity. From a valuation perspective, Holmes believes airline stocks remain relatively inexpensive compared with the broader market. He noted that airlines are trading at approximately one-third of the price-to-earnings multiples of S&P 500 companies, potentially leaving room for positive earnings surprises and further share-price appreciation. Holmes also discussed the relationship between oil prices and airline stocks, highlighting a pattern he has observed in the market. When crude oil prices rise above their 50-day moving average, airline shares often come under pressure because of higher fuel costs. Conversely, when oil prices fall back below the 50-day average, airline stocks have historically tended to strengthen and reach new highs. The strength of the travel recovery is also evident internationally. Holmes said Europe is capturing roughly one-third of global leisure travel spending this summer, creating significant economic benefits for luxury retailers, restaurants and hospitality businesses across Southern Europe. Meanwhile, CoStar data through early August continues to show another strong year-over-year performance for the U.S. hotel industry, reinforcing Holmes' view that travel remains a powerful component of the global consumer economy. Overall, Holmes believes the combination of resilient corporate travel, strong leisure demand, improving year-round travel patterns and relatively low airline valuations could continue to create opportunities for investors across the travel and hospitality sectors. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #TravelETFs #TRIPETF #FrankHolmes #USGlobalInvestors #AirlineStocks #CruiseStocks TravelIndustry #Airlines #Tourism #TripETF #Investing #Hospitality #TravelStocks #MarketOutlook

  Royal Road CEO: Hanash North shaping up as 'significant' Saudi zinc-silver project

  Aug 18, 20265 min

  Royal Road Minerals Ltd (TSX-V:RYR, OTC:RRDMF, FRA:RLU) CEO Dr Tim Coughlin tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company is 18 drill holes into Hanash North in Saudi Arabia, defining what he calls a zinc-silver project of significant potential, helped by zinc being 2026's best-performing metal so far. Coughlin explained the project showed little at surface, with only a thin, average-grade copper hit from a 1980s Rio Tinto hole. By untangling complex structural geometry, Royal Road identified a target at depth: mineralisation now extends over 350 metres of strike, remains open in multiple directions, with down-hole thicknesses of up to 20 metres of zinc at shallow depths. He also pointed to gold appearing at certain depths as a vector suggesting a larger causative intrusion below, which the team plans to drill. All work so far has been reverse circulation; diamond drilling and further geophysics, including an ongoing self-potential survey, are next. On capital allocation, Coughlin confirmed recently raised cash is dedicated entirely to Colombia, where Royal Road believes it's the largest title holder, with the Saudi programme's advancement to be discussed with JV partners and major shareholders.

  St George Mining's Araxá resource hits 111Mt, "right up there" with Mt Weld and Mountain Pass

  Aug 18, 20263 min

  St George Mining Ltd (ASX:SGQ, FRA:S0G, OTC:SGQMF) executive chairman John Prineas spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest resource upgrade at the Araxá rare earths and niobium project in Brazil, now standing at 111.2 million tonnes. Prineas said the upgrade confirms Araxá's scale as a hard-rock, carbonatite-hosted deposit, comparing it to major producers Mt Weld and Mountain Pass: "We've stamped our credentials as being right up there in terms of grade and volume." He highlighted the 75.2 million tonnes now in the measured and indicated categories as key for future development and economic studies, saying the high-confidence base could underpin a long-life operation. Prineas also discussed Araxá's potential to produce neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) over a mine life extending beyond 20, or even 30, years, a factor that could reassure prospective offtake partners and help fund development and capital costs. Exploration continues at the nearby East Araxá discovery, one kilometre east of the main deposit, with a further resource upgrade targeted for around November. Following a recent A$60 million raise, Prineas said St George is fully funded through to a financial investment decision, with focus shifting to metallurgical test work, permitting and offtake contracts. Worley is on board as feasibility technical adviser. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more interviews and market updates.
