He's become something of a crank. And now

He's become something of a crank. And now he's pissed off because he feels the internet's made life harder for writers. He's absolutely correct about that, but it's still not a reason to become... a crank who dives headfirst into conspiracy theories.

North Bay Resources announces first gold concentrate sale from Fran Gold Project

North Bay Resources CEO Jared Lazerson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news of the company’s first successful gold concentrate sale from a test shipment processed at the Bishop Gold Mill, using ore from the Fran Gold Project. Lazerson confirmed that final acceptance and settlement have been completed, with all refinery requirements met, and assay comparisons for gold, silver, and moisture content agreed upon. The test concentrate represents approximately 10 tons of gross ore, processed through the gravity-only circuit. Lazerson noted this marks an important milestone in the early phase of operations. The flotation circuit, which is expected to significantly enhance recovery rates, is set to come online this month. The company currently has another test shipment in process and has completed a third concentrate shipment, further validating operational momentum. The most recent sale netted approximately $400 per ton, based solely on gravity recovery. However, with further optimization and the integration of the flotation circuit, recoveries are projected to double, potentially reaching over 90% total recovery. This would raise the value per ton to around $800, significantly improving project economics. North Bay Resources currently has 75 tons of ore stockpiled at the Bishop Gold Mill, which will be processed as part of continued optimization and ramp-up. Additionally, there are approximately 5,000 tons of ore stockpiled at the project site, positioning the company for a steady flow of future shipments as operations scale. The CEO also discussed the reinterpretation of 15 years of historical drilling data—104 holes covering 18,000 metres—which has revealed the potential for a bulk tonnage deposit. This reinterpretation aligns with nearby major low-grade, high-volume gold projects like Mount Milligan and Blackwater. #proactiveinvestors #northbayresourcesinc #otc #nbri #PlatinumConcentrate #NorthBayResources #MiningNews #CaliforniaGold #JaredLazerson #G

How Beforepay’s AI model drives strong returns

Beforepay Group Ltd Finance Manager Shreya Prakash talked with Proactive about the company’s dual focus on domestic consumer lending and enterprise software through its Carrington Labs division. She explained that Beforepay’s core product—a pay advance offering—provides short-term loans with a fixed 5% fee and no hidden costs, aiming to support Australians with transparent and ethical lending. Prakash said, “The most common reason people borrow from us is not because they want to go for a vacation... but to tide them over that short-term cash flow pinch.” She highlighted that this flagship product, launched in 2020, remains central to the business and differentiates itself through its ethical model and efficient cost structure. Carrington Labs, the company’s AI and analytics arm, is productising the risk models that power Beforepay and expanding operations in the US. Prakash noted that the company is writing around 40,000 loans with just 50 staff, underlining a strong operational efficiency. Billy Cheung, also from the finance team, added that Beforepay became profitable in the first half of FY23. He reported revenue approaching A$20 million and net profit of A$2.8 million in H1 FY25. Notably, the company reduced net defaults from around 3% to just 1.1%, attributing this to improved credit risk models. Cheung also mentioned growth in personal loan offerings and continued investment into Carrington Labs. While Beforepay’s main focus remains on the Australian market, the company is actively expanding Carrington Labs internationally, particularly in the US.

Krakatoa’s antimony-gold find signals major upside

Krakatoa Resources Ltd chairman Colin Locke talked with Proactive about the company’s newly secured Zopkhito Project in Georgia, which he described as a major opportunity for investors. The project contains a JORC resource of 225,000 tonnes of high-grade antimony at 11% for 26,000 tonnes of metal, translating to a back-of-the-envelope valuation of approximately $1.30 billion based on current prices. Additionally, the project includes 7.1 million tonnes grading 3.7g/t gold for 815,000 ounces, estimated to be worth around $2.50 billion. Locke said, “This is touted to be the sixth biggest antimony project in the world.” The mineralisation is close to surface, and the company believes the resource has strong potential for expansion. He also highlighted the project’s additional gold content as another value driver. He attributed the company’s success in securing the project to its CEO and chief technical officer, Mark Major, whose experience in high-altitude exploration was a key factor for the local vendors. The project’s location in Georgia was described as highly investor-friendly, with a 15% corporate tax rate, no native title or land access complications, and strong support for foreign investment. Locke confirmed that a maiden drilling program is scheduled to begin shortly, with Major heading to Georgia next week to prepare. He emphasised the company’s past success with international projects and reassured investors of the team’s experience. In closing, he noted the company's current market capitalisation of just AUD 5 million, suggesting significant upside. 👉 For more interviews like this, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

OKYO Pharma achieves key stability milestone for Urcosimod in clinical development

OKYO Pharma CEO Gary Jacob joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share a significant advancement in the company’s ongoing drug development efforts. The company has successfully demonstrated that urcosimod—formerly known as OK-101—remains stable for more than two and a half years in single-use ampoules, which are used for patient administration. This milestone is a crucial step forward in ensuring the long-term viability of the drug as it progresses through clinical trials. Urcosimod is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2b clinical trial, which is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-masked study involving 48 patients. The trial is focused on assessing the drug’s effectiveness in treating neurotrophic keratopathy (NCP), a serious and progressive degenerative eye disease. Jacob emphasized that achieving success in clinical development extends beyond obtaining positive clinical trial data. A crucial aspect of regulatory approval includes meeting the rigorous Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) requirements set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). By demonstrating long-term stability, OKYO Pharma has strengthened its regulatory submission package, addressing an essential factor in the drug’s future approval and commercialization. The company recently completed Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) stability assay testing of single-use ampoules containing urcosimod in an ophthalmic solution. The results were highly promising—ampoules stored under refrigerated conditions maintained stability for over two and a half years, while initial three-month data from samples stored at room temperature showed potency levels at or above 100%. These findings reinforce confidence in urcosimod’s shelf life and its potential for real-world clinical use. As OKYO Pharma continues to advance urcosimod through the regulatory and clinical development process, this stability milestone represents a critical achievement in its journey toward providing an effective tr
