Proactive - Interviews for investors

Elixir Energy Ltd (ASX:EXR) managing director Neil Young joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to provide an update on the Daydream-2 program in its 100%-owned Grandis Project located in Queensland’s Taroom Trough. On-site operations for the Daydream-2 stimulation and testing program have resumed with the return of Elixir’s contracting staff to the well-site. Preparations are underway for the arrival of the coil tubing unit (CTU), which was recently imported from New Zealand to conduct work for both Elixir and its neighbouring Operator. During these preparations, the pressure at the Daydream-2 wellhead was measured at 3,410 psi, despite the presence of a full column of saline water in the hole. This high pressure, though safely contained behind two barriers and not posing any immediate issues, was unexpected. The high wellhead pressure may be attributed to a leaking temporary plug separating the high pressure Lorelle sandstone from the wellbore and/or to perforations above the Lorelle sandstone, which were assessed as low-quality siltstones during a recent blockage removal, potentially contributing high pressure gas. The upcoming program will seek to clarify this issue as Elixir plans to flow test the Lorelle sandstone and stimulate other zones higher in the well. Young highlighted the potential of the Taroom Trough for significant gas contributions from its extensive sedimentary sections. #ProactiveInvestors #ElixirEnergy #ASX #Daydream2, #GrandisProject, #TaroomTrough, #QueenslandGas, #EnergyUpdate, #WellheadPressure, #GasExploration, #EnergySector, #NeilYoung, #CTUArrival, #WellStimulation, #LorelleSandstone, #GasTesting, #OilAndGas, #ExplorationUpdate, #EnergyNews, #HighPressure, #WellOperations, #ResourcePotential #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Kinetiko Energy Ltd (ASX: KKO) executive chairman Adam Sierakowski joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the significant progress being made in the company’s efforts to develop an energy solution for South Africa, focusing on advanced shallow conventional gas projects in the Mpumalanga Province. The company has provided an update on its onshore gas exploration and production development activities. Site preparation has started for the first of five production test wells, with conductor casing and water monitor well drilling underway. This initial phase of preparation is expected to be completed within four weeks. Following this, the production test drilling rig is anticipated to be mobilised to the site in late August, with the spudding of the first well, 271-23PT, scheduled for early September. The nine-month program involves the sequential completion of five production test wells, with the objective of conducting extended flow testing on each well. Bottom hole targets for these wells have been carefully selected to interpret multiple gas reservoirs and optimise gas reserves certification. Additionally, the strategic location of these wells, adjacent to existing energy transmission infrastructure and off-takers, enhances their potential impact. Sierakowski highlighted the importance of this program, describing it as a transformative step forward for the company. With site preparations in progress and drilling set to start soon, Kinetiko is poised to unlock the potential of the existing 6 TCF Contingent Resource (2C) discovery within the Mpumalanga Province. This resource is currently equivalent to 1 BBOE and is expected to grow significantly. Each well has been strategically positioned to optimise gas reserves certification and is near existing infrastructure, making this program a critical milestone towards demonstrating the commercial viability of the basin. Core well drilling adjacent to the first production test well, 271-23PT, has already discovered 131.5 metres of gassy pay zones, as announced on November 30, 2022. The production testing program will provide invaluable data on flow rates and depletion curves, which are essential for modelling the economics of future production clusters. #ProactiveInvestors #KinetikoEnergy #ASX, #GasExploration, #Mpumalanga, #EnergySolution, #GasProduction, #SouthAfrica, #ShallowConventionalGas, #ProductionTestWells, #SitePreparation, #DrillingProgram, #EnergyInfrastructure, #GasReserves, #ContingentResource, #AdamSierakowski, #FlowTesting, #GasReservoirs, #EnergyTransmission, #EconomicModelling, #ProductionClusters #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Luke Norman, Chairman and Co-Founder of U.S. Gold Corp., recently spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's latest activities and notable progress. During Frontier Days, a prominent community rodeo event near the company's project site, Norman engaged with local officials, including the governor and mayor, to bolster community outreach and support. A significant milestone has been achieved by U.S. Gold Corp. as the company secured its mining permit, paving the way for the next stages of their project. This includes the crucial task of updating their pre-feasibility study, a key upcoming announcement that investors and stakeholders are eagerly anticipating. The interview highlighted the positive impact of rising gold and copper prices, which have been favorable for the company's financial outlook. However, Norman pointed out that this advantageous shift has not yet been fully mirrored in the equity markets. He also reflected on the relatively rapid permitting process in Wyoming compared to federal lands in the U.S. and Canada, emphasizing the efficient cooperation with state and city officials. This stands in contrast to his experiences in Nevada, where obtaining even minor permits can be a prolonged ordeal. The discussion concluded with Norman expressing his congratulations on the company's achievements thus far and his optimism for future developments and updates. #proactiveinvestors #usgoldcorp #nasdaq #usau #mining #gold #copper USGoldCorp, #Mining, #LukeNorman, #MiningPermit, #GoldMining, #CopperPrices, #PreFeasibilityStudy, #CommunityOutreach, #FrontierDays, #WyomingMining, #MiningProgress, #GoldPrices, #CopperMining, #MiningMilestones, #StateCooperation, #MiningIndustry, #ProjectUpdate, #EquityMarkets, #MiningInvestors, #PermitToMine, #MiningAchievements #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Chesapeake Financial Shares CEO Jeff Szyperski joined Steve Darling from Proactive to report stable earnings for the second quarter of 2024, with the company achieving earnings of $3,036,512, closely matching the $3,036,660 reported in the same period of 2023.

Tribe Technology PLC (AIM:TRYB) CEO Charlie King joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of the company's latest milestone: shipping its first autonomous RC drill rig from Belfast to Australia. King highlighted the culmination of five years of hard work and over 200,000 development hours that went into creating this innovative drill rig. The rig, destined for Mackay Drilling, a subsidiary of Major Drilling Group International, promises to revolutionise the drilling industry by operating without personnel on the drilling pad, significantly improving safety and productivity. King explained, "We are the first company to produce a drill that can operate with nobody on the drilling pad. This is a complete step change." This technology aims to address the dangers associated with manual drilling, which still causes too many fatalities in the industry. The drill rig, which incorporates Tribe Technology's proprietary technology, is set to arrive in Australia by the end of September, where it will undergo field testing with Fortescue Metals Group. King also discussed the company's recent collaboration with Master Drilling, a contractor for Anglo American, showcasing the potential for improved sample quality and increased market demand with its Sampling System. Tribe Technology's sales pipeline looks very robust, with contracts in place for five drills and growing interest from tier-one miners and contractors.
