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.

Time Finance CEO on Q3 update: record lending & growth to resilient small businesses

Time Finance PLC (AIM:TIME) CEO Ed Rimmer takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s performance in the third quarter, highlighting a record gross lending book and improved arrears management. Rimmer explained that Time Finance provides funding solutions to small businesses, including invoice finance, asset finance, and secured loans, typically supporting businesses with turnover up to £10 million. He said, “We help businesses grow, but we also help businesses to survive as well.” The company’s lending book reached a record £210 million at the end of February, with arrears falling to 5% from 6% a year earlier. Rimmer noted this progress came despite challenging market conditions and was achieved without compromising credit quality. Margins have also increased, with profit margins now at 40%. This was attributed to tight cost control and improved efficiency, including leveraging technology and streamlining internal processes. Time Finance has not increased its headcount significantly post-COVID, which has helped support margin growth. Rimmer also addressed the broader economic environment, pointing to interest rate pressures, inflation, and increased insolvencies, but emphasised that small businesses remain resilient. The company sees opportunity as traditional banks become more risk-averse, creating space for independent lenders. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more interviews like this.

DP Poland CEO Nils Gornall on Pizzeria 105 acquisition strategy

DP Poland PLC (AIM:DPP) CEO Nils Gornall talked with Proactive about the company’s acquisition of Pizzeria 105 in Poland for £8.5 million — a key step in its strategy to transition towards a franchise-led business model. Gornall explained that DP Poland is the master franchisee of Domino’s Pizza in both Poland and Croatia, and this latest acquisition boosts the company’s franchised store percentage from just 8% three years ago to over 50% today. “The best Domino’s businesses around the world are franchisee-led. That's where we need to be,” he said. Pizzeria 105 is the fourth-largest pizza chain in Poland, with 90 franchised stores. Gornall emphasised how this acquisition aligns with DP Poland’s strategy, highlighting the opportunity to bring Domino’s global brand power and systems to a well-established local operator. “We have the tools to help the franchisees really take it to that next level,” he said. Looking ahead, Gornall noted the goal of rebranding all Pizzeria 105 stores to Domino’s within 24 months, with a target of reaching 200 fully branded Domino’s outlets by late 2026 or early 2027. The transaction also adds more than 80 franchise business owners to DP Poland’s ecosystem and supports a shift toward selling down corporate-owned stores. He said the key focus now is rebranding and driving sales performance with Domino’s marketing and operational capabilities. The long-term ambition is to move from 50% to 90% franchise ownership.

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.
