Caledonia Mining sees big profit jump in 2024; welcomes gold's move above $3,000

Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC (AIM:CMCL, NYSE-A:CMCL) chief executive Mark Learmonth talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s strong 2024 financial performance and strategic priorities following the release of its latest results. Learmonth reported a “strong end to a reasonably good year,” with annual gold production reaching approximately 78,000 ounces—within guidance—supported by favourable pricing. He highlighted that “gross profit for the year was 77 million, compared to 41 million last year,” with adjusted earnings per share rising sharply from less than $0.10 in 2023 to nearly $1.30 in 2024. The results were delayed due to a technical accounting issue, with Learmonth explaining this stemmed from a deferred tax calculation error dating back to 2019. He stressed it had “no impact on our actual tax liabilities and tax payments.” On project development, the feasibility study for the Bilboes project has been extended to evaluate options that could significantly reduce capital costs. These include the potential to export concentrate and relocate the tailings facility, potentially lowering upfront investment needs. Exploration at both Blanket and Motapa returned positive results. Learmonth noted that the Blanket resource base has been extended, and early work at Motapa uncovered “exciting mineralisation” in new areas. With gold prices currently above $3,000 per ounce, the company is focused on maximising cash flow and investing further in Blanket and other revenue-generating opportunities.

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.

2D Photonics CEO discusses plans to scale up advanced graphene-based photonics technology

Frontier IP Group portfolio company 2D Photonics CEO Ben Jensen talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s recent €25 million funding round and its plans to scale up its advanced graphene-based photonics technology. Jensen explained the growing demand for faster, more cost-effective data transmission solutions, driven by sectors such as AI and 5G. “What’s required today is ever faster data transmission at lower costs,” he said. According to Jensen, the new device architecture 2D Photonics has developed simplifies photonics design while significantly improving performance. This innovation is crucial for enabling higher bandwidth and lower power consumption across data networks. The funding will support the expansion of the leadership team and the development of pilot production capabilities. Jensen emphasized the importance of execution at this early stage, noting that the goal is to demonstrate the scalability of the technology for semiconductor foundries and ultimately reach high-volume manufacturing. He also discussed future applications, pointing to sectors such as space and defence, where rugged environments make traditional photonics challenging. In addition, the technology has relevance for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), where rapid data transmission between sensors is critical for vehicle safety.

Andromeda Metals nears funding milestone for Great White Project

Andromeda Metals Ltd acting CEO Sarah Clarke talked with Proactive about the company's progress on its flagship Great White Project in South Australia. Clarke outlined how the company is nearing a critical funding milestone, having entered into exclusive negotiations with Merricks Capital for a debt financing facility of up to $75 million. She explained that this follows detailed due diligence and represents a significant advancement in the project’s development. She noted that the facility would cover capitalised interest, fees, and a cost overrun tranche, with exclusivity on negotiations running through to the end of July. Clarke also said Andromeda is pursuing the balance of required funds through a parallel equity or investment process. The Great White Project is a high-grade kaolin operation targeting premium ceramic markets and sustainable concrete products. The company has all key approvals in place, feasibility studies completed, long-lead items ordered, and binding offtake agreements secured for its Stage 1A+ development, which involves 100,000 tonnes of kaolin production per annum. Clarke said the project team is fully mobilised, working across both operational readiness and financing, to ensure rapid commencement of construction once funding is secured.
