Hillcrest launches ZVS technology evaluation with global Tier 1 automotive supplier

Hillcrest Energy Technologies CEO Don Currie joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the launch of a technology evaluation project with a global Tier 1 automotive supplier. The project’s initial phase will assess the potential benefits of Hillcrest’s Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) technology in next-generation inverter applications for electric vehicles. If this phase is successful and both parties agree to proceed, subsequent phases will focus on the integration and validation of ZVS technology within the supplier’s inverter platform. Currie explained that Tier 1 automotive suppliers provide fully assembled components and systems to major automakers. This particular supplier, consistently ranked among the top 15 largest by revenue, is a global leader specializing in critical EV components like inverters. With a strong presence in the industry, the supplier plays a crucial role in advancing electric vehicle technology for manufacturers worldwide. The evaluation phase will involve a series of technical assessments aimed at eliminating switching losses and improving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance. The supplier will analyze efficiency, performance, and potential advantages of Hillcrest’s ZVS technology within its inverter architecture. The findings from this evaluation will determine potential next steps for further collaboration and integration. This project represents a key opportunity for Hillcrest to demonstrate the value of its ZVS technology, with the shared objective of enhancing EV inverter performance and delivering significant benefits to automotive customers. #proactiveinvestors #hillcrestenergytechnologiesltd #cse #heat #ptcqb #hlrtf

Orion Minerals CEO on Prieska & Okiep DFS milestones as company enters next phase

Orion Minerals Ltd (ASX:ORN, JSE:ORN) managing director and CEO Errol Smart talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the completion of definitive feasibility studies (DFS) for both the company’s flagship Prieska copper-zinc project and the Flat Mines project at its Okiep copper project. Smart described this as a pivotal moment, noting, “It’s taken us eight years now to put them together… but it's really a great outcome for us.” The studies confirm robust development pathways for both operations in South Africa's Northern Cape, with both projects fully permitted and development-ready. Smart said Orion is in a unique position globally, with capital intensity figures below key industry benchmarks. The combined production profile is expected to deliver 30,000 tonnes of copper annually at around $9,500 per tonne capital intensity, placing the company in the lower quartile of the cost curve. The Prieska project will follow a two-phase development plan, with a modest $25 million start-up operation set to begin production within 13 months, followed by a ramp-up to full-scale output. Smart also confirmed that discussions are underway with strategic partners, including the Industrial Development Corporation and offtake-related financiers. He highlighted that smelters and traders are actively seeking long-term copper supply, saying, “We represent a very interesting opportunity for them, with certainty.” Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more company updates and interviews.

Abacus Global Management CEO on 2024 highlights and 2025 targets

Abacus Global Management (NASDAQ:ABL) CEO Jay Jackson takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s strong financial performance in 2024 and its strategic outlook for 2025. The pioneering alternative asset manager reported 69% year-over-year revenue growth for 2024, with the fourth quarter alone seeing a 40% increase. Jackson noted that 2023 was already a record year, and 2024 surpassed that benchmark by over 50%. The company has issued guidance for 2025 that anticipates adjusted net income to rise by between 51% and 68%, driven by continued demand for non-correlated assets. Founded over 20 years ago, Abacus recently rebranded from Abacus Life to better reflect its identity as an alternative asset manager. Jackson explained, “We're an asset manager... and we also own a large institutional asset manager in Luxembourg,” underlining the firm’s expanding global footprint. Growth drivers include strategic acquisitions, expansion of its financial advisor channel, and development in its technology division. Jackson emphasized the role of AI in analyzing health and lifespan data to support financial planning, stating, “Think about the billion scenarios in someone's lifespan… AI helps us understand more accurate outcomes.” Jackson believes 2025 will bring increasing attention to the firm’s asset management operations, complementing its origination and technology capabilities.

Tolu Minerals CEO reveals 8 new targets at Mt Pence and talks initial gold production at Tolukuma

Tolu Minerals Ltd CEO Iain Macpherson talked with Proactive about the company’s initial gold production at the Tolukuma Gold Mine in Papua New Guinea. While not commercial output yet, Macpherson explained that gold from commissioning demonstrates proof of concept and marks the start of larger-scale activity. The company is leveraging existing infrastructure valued at around AU$500 million, with a strategy focused on addressing previous cost pressures that led to mine closure. “The mine shut down, not because the resource ran out... but because they were faced with severe cost pressures,” Macpherson said, citing diesel dependence and lack of road access. Macpherson highlighted Tolu’s capital program and extensive exploration footprint across the broader Tolukuma structure. He detailed the utility of airborne magnetotelluric (MT) surveys, which provide deep, three-dimensional geophysical data. “It gives you a very good three-dimensional picture... and enhances target generation,” he said, noting this method’s success in similar geologies globally. The company also discussed its Mt Penck project on New Britain Island, revealing the identification of eight new porphyry targets based on the MT survey.
