Buru Energy secures strategic deal for LNG development

Buru Energy Ltd CEO Thomas Nador talked with Proactive about the company’s newly announced strategic development agreement with Clean Energy Fuels Australia Pty Ltd (CEFA) to co-develop the Rafael Gas Project. Nador explained that CEFA brings strong midstream and downstream capabilities, backed by I Squared Capital, which manages around $40 billion in assets. "They bring the right credentials, to look after the downstream and midstream elements of the project," he said. Buru, meanwhile, will focus on the upstream side of the Rafael development. The deal is described as a “watershed moment” for the company, as it provides a clear pathway toward developing a long-term gas and condensate business in northwest Western Australia—an area currently dependent on imported energy. Under the agreement, CEFA will fund, build, and operate a small-scale LNG facility on-site, with Buru paying a processing fee over the life of the project. This significantly reduces Buru’s capital exposure to only the upstream infrastructure—namely, two wells, one of which is already in place. A final investment decision is expected in late 2025 or early 2026, with first cash flows anticipated in the second half of 2027. According to Nador, the projected annual free cash flow from the Rafael development is expected to surpass the company’s current market capitalization.

Element 25 delivers positive Tokyo Bay Scoping Study

Element 25 managing director Justin Brown talked with Proactive about the recent completion of the Tokyo Bay HPMSM Facility Scoping Study in partnership with Nissin Chemical Corporation. The company said the results of the scoping study were positive enough to justify advancing the project to the pre-feasibility stage. Brown explained that the Tokyo Bay site offers unique advantages, including a co-located sulfuric acid plant, deepwater port access, and supporting infrastructure critical for high-purity manganese sulfate production. “We took our learnings from the detailed work we’ve done in Louisiana… and converted them to a Japanese setting,” Brown said. He also noted that Japan's regulatory and geopolitical environment makes it an ideal location for refining and supplying the local battery market. Looking ahead, Brown confirmed that Element 25 and Nissin Chemical will conduct deeper engineering and cost analysis under their existing MOU, with a final investment decision targeted for June 2026. The next milestone will be the pre-feasibility study, expected later this year. Brown also discussed how the Tokyo Bay project fits into the company’s broader “design one, build many” strategy, which aims to establish a global network of refineries fed by ethically sourced manganese from Element 25’s Butcherbird mine. In addition to activity in Japan, Brown highlighted ongoing work in Europe and updates on the Butcherbird expansion and Louisiana project, with construction planned to commence later this year.

Solvonis Therapeutics engages PharmaVentures to support key AUD assets

Solvonis Therapeutics PLC (LSE:SVNS) CEO Anthony Tennyson talked with Proactive about the company's strategic move to commercialise two clinical-stage assets targeting alcohol use disorder (AUD). Tennyson explained that Solvonis has engaged PharmaVentures to support valuation and potential out-licensing for two lead programs—AWKN-001 and AWKN-002. PharmaVentures was chosen based on its three-decade track record in biopharma M&A advisory, with over 1,000 deals completed. Tennyson noted, “We’ve selected them for three reasons: their expertise, their experience, and their reach.” The two assets originated from Solvonis's planned acquisition of Awakn Life Sciences, a transaction expected to be completed in the second quarter. AWKN-001, now in Phase 3 trials, targets severe AUD in the UK and EU. PharmaVentures estimates the asset could yield around £60 million in upfront and milestone payments, plus significant double-digit royalties. AWKN-002, focused on moderate to severe AUD in the US, is in Phase 2B planning. This program could generate approximately £150 million, based on comparable transactions. Tennyson emphasised the unmet medical need, citing a 75% relapse rate within a year for current AUD treatments. “That represents a significant commercial opportunity for Solvonis,” he said.

European defense spending boom: Key investment opportunities amid global shifts

Jane Edmondson, Head of Index Product Strategy at TMXVettaFi, joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the rapidly evolving global defense landscape and its investment implications. With geopolitical tensions on the rise and shifting defense priorities, investors must navigate new opportunities and risks in the sector. Edmondson highlighted Europe's unprecedented surge in defense spending, a direct response to the U.S. decision to scale back military aid to Ukraine. Central to this shift is the European Union’s €800 billion "Rearm Europe Readiness 2030" initiative, aimed at bolstering military preparedness. This includes substantial investments across key defense technologies and a dedicated €150 billion credit facility to enhance military capabilities. “There’s going to be a lot of spending to come,” Edmondson noted, emphasizing major growth areas such as artificial intelligence, cyber defense, drone technology, and advanced artillery systems. She pointed out that leading European defense firms—including Rheinmetall, BAE Systems, Thales, Dassault, and Leonardo SPA—stand to benefit significantly from this expansion. Additionally, South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace is emerging as a key player in global defense contracts. In contrast, U.S. defense companies are experiencing headwinds due to budget cuts and canceled procurement deals, leading to a relative downturn in the sector. Another critical shift in global defense procurement is unfolding as traditional U.S. allies reconsider their defense purchases. Canada and Portugal, for instance, are re-evaluating orders for U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets in favor of alternative options, such as aircraft from Dassault Aviation. Edmondson stressed that these geopolitical realignments are creating strong economic tailwinds, particularly for Germany, which is set to invest an estimated €500 billion in defense over the next several years. She cited a recent Goldman Sachs report, which projects that half of this spending will
