CleanTech Lithium appoints CEO with deep Chile experience and connections

CleanTech Lithium PLC (AIM:CTL, OTCQX:CTLHF) CEO Ignacio Mehech talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about his priorities following his appointment as the company’s new chief executive. Mehech spoke about the company’s immediate focus and his own background in Chile’s mining sector. He described CleanTech as being at “a very special moment in time”, with several key developments underway including the CEOL (special lithium operation contract) negotiations with Chile’s Ministry of Mining, the delivery of a pre-feasibility study, and the search for a strategic partner. “We have gone all the way to produce lithium carbonate battery grade,” Mehech said, noting that the company has successfully piloted direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies with its brine projects. Reflecting on his decade of experience in Chile’s mining industry, Mehech outlined his previous roles at Albemarle, including as country manager for Chile and VP of external affairs for Latin America. He stressed the importance of maintaining strong relationships with indigenous communities and government stakeholders in Chile, adding that CleanTech already has “a good relationship” that it must continue building on. He concluded by reinforcing the company’s short-term goals: “Finalise the negotiations on the CEOL with the Ministry of Mining, deliver the pre-feasibility study, and look for a strategic partner to develop this project.” For more insights, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for additional videos.

Directa Plus CEO on Q1 revenue jump on new contracts in Romania and textile market recovery

Directa Plus CEO Giulio Cesareo talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s strong start to 2025 and the strategic impact of its environmental operations. Cesareo shared that the company saw a 40% rise in first-quarter revenue to approximately €2 million, driven by new contracts in Romania and a recovering textile market in Italy. “We have a significant contract with Midia International,” Cesareo explained, adding that work on oil recovery from drilling platforms resumed after a slowdown in 2024 due to the war in the Black Sea. The full acquisition of Setcar, a Romanian environmental service company, plays a central role in the company’s strategy. Cesareo highlighted that Setcar not only holds a full suite of environmental certifications but also occupies a “geopolitical significant position” as a potential gateway to Ukraine’s reconstruction. Environmental applications remain a key focus for Directa Plus, especially the use of its graphene materials to decontaminate water and soil. In collaboration with OMV Petrom, the company successfully decontaminated 44,000 cubic meters of water, recovering 10,000 barrels of crude oil. Research and development are also advancing. Directa Plus is working with Nant G Power on battery materials and refocusing on opportunities in sectors like tyres and PFAS filtration. Cesareo stated, “There are significant opportunities, despite the actual crisis, that can be captured by our innovative material.” With €4 million in cash and a burn rate that extends funding through to August 2026, Cesareo believes the company is well-positioned for the year ahead.

VettaFi's Stacey Morris highlights midstream stability amid oil volatility, natural gas growth

VettaFi Head of Energy Research Stacey Morris joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the performance and positioning of the Alerian Midstream Energy Dividend ETF, and to provide a broader outlook on the midstream energy sector in the context of today’s evolving market dynamics. Morris began by explaining the role of the midstream segment within the energy value chain, describing it as the “shipping and handling service” of the industry. Unlike upstream producers that are heavily exposed to commodity price fluctuations, midstream companies are focused on transporting, storing, and processing oil and natural gas—services that are typically governed by long-term, fee-based contracts. This structural model, she emphasized, gives midstream operators stable, predictable cash flows, making them more resilient in volatile or declining energy price environments. The conversation turned to recent weakness in oil markets, with U.S. oil benchmarks falling roughly 17% between April 2 and April 8, 2025. Morris attributed the drop primarily to increased supply from OPEC+ nations and mounting concerns over global economic growth and trade activity. “There’s just been a number of concerns around the outlook for the global economy or trade,” she noted, which has added pressure to oil prices in the short term. However, Morris pointed out that midstream energy assets tend to outperform in such environments. Their reduced sensitivity to commodity pricing and defensive investment characteristics—especially consistent dividend payouts—make them an appealing option for income-focused and risk-averse investors. One of the most compelling parts of the midstream growth story, Morris said, is its exposure to natural gas, which continues to see rising demand from multiple sectors. She highlighted projections that U.S. natural gas demand is set to grow by 25% between 2024 and 2030. Morris emphasized that midstream companies are critical enablers of this growth, thanks to their ess

Arizona Gold Project yields highest grades for core to Date at Philadelphia Project

Arizona Gold and Silver Vice President of Exploration Greg Hahn spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major milestone at the company’s Philadelphia Project in Arizona, reporting the highest gold grades to date from core drilling on the property. The standout result came from drill hole PC25-136, which intersected 4.91 metres grading 9.20 grams per tonne (gpt) gold, highlighting a robust zone of epithermal quartz and calcite-bearing vein breccia within rhyolitic volcanic rocks. Hahn explained that this new high-grade zone, located in the Rising Fawn area, had previously seen limited exploration and lacked the drilling required for a formal resource estimate. The mineralized interval is surrounded by lower-grade stockwork, indicating a broader halo of gold-bearing material. PC25-136 is the first of six drill holes recently completed to test extensions of earlier high-grade intercepts, targeting both down-dip and along-strike mineralization. Hahn noted that the presence of abundant yellow and green quartz in this zone is geologically significant and comparable to mineralization seen in the historic Oatman gold district, suggesting strong potential for further high-grade discoveries. Importantly, this intercept appears to be relatively shallow in the vein system, enhancing the prospectivity as drilling continues to deeper levels. Ongoing drilling at the Philadelphia Project is focused on following up these new results by targeting deeper extensions of the Rising Fawn zone, with the goal of expanding the mineralized envelope and advancing toward a resource definition. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #MiningUpdates #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #MiningDrilling #GoldAndSilver #JuniorMining #ArizonaMining #DrillResults #MiningStocks #PhiladelphiaProject #GregHahn #PreciousMetals #ProactiveInvestors #ResourceExpansion
