Alvopetro posts 86% net back margin as Q2 volumes jump 26% and Murucututu ramps up
Today00:05:10Tap to summarizeAlvopetro Energy Ltd (TSX-V:ALV, OTC:ALVOF, FRA:A6Y0) CEO Corey Ruttan tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that Q2 2026 sales volumes averaged 3,067 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 26% year-on-year, with revenue of just over $19 million and funds flow from operations of $14.1 million. Ruttan pointed to an operating net back of just over $59 per boe and an 86% net back profit margin, driven by a royalty burden under 6% and low-cost gas production under Brazil's fiscal regime. Condensate and oil prices rose 46% and 65% respectively year-on-year. On the Murucututu field, Ruttan said the first well drilled in 2026 is set to come on stream within days, a second is midway through drilling with results due late August or early September, and a third will follow immediately after. Field production facilities are being expanded roughly fourfold, with completion expected by year-end, alongside gas processing facility upgrades due by the end of September. From 1 August, the quarterly contract price reset lifted the natural gas price to $11.70 per MCF - about 7% above the Q2 realised price of nearly $11 per MCF. Ruttan said the company has modelled longer-term pricing based on current futures market data in its corporate presentation.

Transcribe →Custom Health acquires Spencer Health tech, cuts hardware costs in half
Today00:04:15Tap to summarizeCustom Health Holdings (TSX:CHLT) CEO Shane Bishop tells Proactive that the company's acquisition of Spencer Health Solutions has cut hardware costs roughly in half, delivering an immediate margin improvement at the per-patient level. Bishop says the move eliminates duplicated support and cellular coverage costs that existed when the two companies operated separately, and gives Custom Health full control over the product roadmap. Bishop explains that Custom Health had been integrating Spencer Health's medication management device into its core clinical model for several years, and that the technology had already become embedded in the company's operations. With a second-generation device already developed, the priority now is directing its AI and voice-activation capabilities to collect more real-time patient data and feed it into clinical workflows. On growth strategy, Bishop says that knowing the exact baseline cost of the device means Custom Health can now be more aggressive in pursuing new provider and health plan contracts. He describes previous hesitation in the market as partly linked to cost uncertainty, and says that barrier has now been removed following the acquisition. Custom Health Holdings (ticker: CHHC) is a medication management and clinical services company. Shane Bishop is the CEO. #CustomHealth #CHHC #medicationmanagement #digitalhealth #healthtech #SpencerHealth #AIhealthcare #smallcap #investornews #ProactiveInvestors
Transcribe →Nextech3D.ai: 160 new contracts, 92% margins, biggest deal ever due August
Today00:05:42Tap to summarizeNextech3D.AI (CSE:NTAR, OTCQX:NEXCF, FRA:1SS) CEO Evan Gappelberg tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has reported $874,000 in new customer contract value and 160 new customer contracts, with software gross margins of 92%. He describes these as proof points of a new phase of growth for the AI-powered event technology business. Gappelberg says average contract value is up 77% and that the company is increasingly signing three-year deals rather than one-year deals, providing greater revenue visibility. Enterprise customers including Microsoft, Meta, Google, Deloitte, and BNP Paribas are among those buying from the company's three platforms: Eventdex, MapD, and KraftyLabs. On KraftyLabs, Gappelberg says it is the most underappreciated platform Nextech currently owns, and that the company is building it into an AI-first corporate culture platform with an AI avatar layer set to launch in the coming weeks. Gappelberg also reveals that Nextech is imminently close to signing what he calls the biggest deal in the company's history, describing it as a multimillion-dollar contract he expects to close in August. He says this deal, combined with 92% gross margins, will significantly accelerate the path to profitability and cash flow.

Transcribe →London BTC CEO on hitting 143 g/t gold at Amonett-Frank, highest grade yet in US portfolio
Today00:02:51Tap to summarizeLondon BTC Company Ltd (LSE:BTC, OTCQB:VINZF) CEO Hewie Rattray spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion after the company reported a standout gold assay of 143 grams per tonne from its Amonett-Frank project, the highest-grade result across its US portfolio to date. Rattray said the company is "absolutely delighted" with the result, calling the grade exceptionally high for the jurisdiction, and outlined plans for further geological work ahead of potentially bringing in a partner to advance drilling. The independent validation of the assay marks a key milestone in London BTC's strategy: acquiring mineral claims cheaply, de-risking them through geological work, then monetising validated assets via joint ventures, option agreements or sales, while potentially retaining royalties. To speed that up, the company has appointed Dahrouge Geological Consulting to accelerate exploration across its growing Nevada and Arizona portfolio, expanding its capacity to evaluate assets and deliver results faster. Rattray also flagged upcoming permitting milestones in September for the Nevada assets, and shared his outlook on bitcoin and crypto markets, central to the company's plan to recycle sale proceeds back into Bitcoin. As he put it: "Our strategy very much is to turn these things around quickly, improve the model, and use whatever we get from the sale to buy Bitcoin back for the company."

Transcribe →Purepoint CEO explains how drill core unlocks Uranium discoveries
Yesterday00:08:04Tap to summarizePurepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss what happens during a scheduled two-week pause in drilling, explaining how geologists analyze drill core to refine exploration targets and improve the chances of making a uranium discovery. Frostad said geophysical surveys are invaluable for identifying prospective targets, but they only reveal relative differences in rock properties, such as density, gravity, and graphitic conductors, rather than the exact geology beneath the surface. The first drill hole helps confirm rock types, fault orientations, and whether conductive horizons occur at the expected depth, but meaningful geological interpretation requires multiple holes. He compared the process to a three-legged stool, explaining that geologists typically need at least three drill holes before they can confidently connect data points and begin defining the geometry of a mineralized system. Frostad also described the real-time decisions exploration teams face during drilling, including whether to adjust the angle of the next hole, relocate the drill rig, or pause drilling to allow time for geological interpretation. With each hole costing between $300,000 and $500,000, careful planning is essential to maximize exploration success. A key part of the process is preserving the orientation of the drill core. Frostad said orientation tools allow geologists to accurately determine the direction of faults, fractures, and mineralized structures, preventing misleading interpretations that could result from rotating the core. Following field logging, gamma probe measurements, and structural analysis, the data are integrated into 3D geological models, enabling the exploration team to map fault trends and structural controls that may host uranium mineralization and guide the next phase of drilling. #proactiveinvestors #purepointuraniumgroup #tsxv #ptu #otcqb #ptuuf #Uranium #AthabascaBasin #UraniumExploration #UraniumExploration #CriticalMinerals #Geology #Mining #Drilling #SaskatchewanMining #MiningNews #ResourceExploration

Yesterday00:04:10Tap to summarizeFirst Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's latest federal funding milestone after securing $4.84 million in non-repayable contributions from the Government of Canada through Natural Resources Canada's First and Last Mile Fund to advance the Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Project in Quebec. Passalacqua said the new funding builds on the $16.7 million previously awarded by NRCan in March 2026 through the Global Partnerships Initiative, further strengthening government support for developing the company's high-purity phosphate deposit. Approximately $3.07 million will fund studies related to power transmission infrastructure, including site selection, feasibility work, environmental assessments, public and Indigenous consultations, and the design of a 161-kV transmission line and substations in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. A further $1.77 million will support planning for transportation infrastructure, including preparatory work for a new mine access road and studies evaluating upgrades to regional bypass roads connecting the Bégin-Lamarche project to rail infrastructure and the Port of Saguenay. The work will include technical, environmental, and economic studies, along with traffic analysis and community consultation. Management believes the additional funding will accelerate key infrastructure planning while supporting the long-term development of the Bégin-Lamarche project as a strategic source of high-purity phosphate for the North American lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery supply chain. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #BeginLamarche #LFPBatteries #CriticalMinerals #Phosphate #QuebecMining #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #MiningNews #canada #governmentofcaanda #NaturalResourcesCanada'sFirstandLastMileFund
