We had hot dogs and beans on Saturday nights when I was young. But they were B&M baked beans. They stopped selling them here locally so I buy by the case at Amazon. At Xmas a friend from Boston was here for dinner and I sent him home with 4 cans of B&Ms

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.

St George Mining unveils major JORC resource

St George Mining Ltd executive chairman John Prineas talked with Proactive about the company's newly announced maiden JORC resource, which he says could be among the world’s most significant niobium and rare earth deposits. Prineas said the deposit features over 500 intercepts of high-grade mineralisation and boasts a rare combination of high grades and shallow mineralisation starting at surface, supporting an open pit development. “We think, possibly the second highest niobium deposit in terms of grade and, probably one of the highest rare earth deposits,” he told Proactive. He confirmed the company has already seen interest from industry players, with some expressing interest in potential partnerships and even mergers. The resource was released following St George’s acquisition of the project in late February, and the company has committed to a drill program starting in the coming weeks. According to Prineas, this program could potentially double the existing resource. In Brazil, St George has assembled an experienced in-country team and engaged a global EPC contractor to progress mine development. The company has also begun metallurgical and downstream processing studies and believes the project will deliver a commercial-grade product, supported by decades of similar production by neighbours CBMM. 👉 For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Novo Resources targets gold at Tibooburra

Novo Resources Corp executive co-chair Mike Spreadborough and exploration manager Kas De Luca talked with Proactive about the company’s current exploration, strategy and key drilling campaigns underway in 2025. Spreadborough detailed the company's focus on standalone projects with the potential to exceed one million ounces, with current efforts centred on drilling programs at the Balla Balla project, Tibooburra Gold Project, and upcoming activity at the John Bull Project. “We’re not chasing brownfields mill feed for an existing processing plant. We’re looking for something new and exciting,” he said. De Luca shared insights into the Clone prospect at Tibooburra, highlighting its strong geological context and mineralisation indicators. “The clone thrust has been really identified and pinpointed now as a foot wall shear zone… that seems to us both in the drilling and in service to carry most of the mineralisation,” she noted. De Luca said results from surface sampling returned grades up to 89 grams per tonne, and the company has only tested a small fraction of a 60km mineralised trend. Novo expects results from three programs between now and July and continues to assess additional farm-in opportunities as part of its strategy.

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
