TNR Gold Corp highlights "very impressive" intercept from McEwen Los Azules Copper

TNR Gold Corp

TNR Gold Corp (TSX-V:TNR, OTC:TRRXF) Executive Chairman Kirill Klip speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London to speak about the latest results from the 2022/23 drill campaign at the Los Azules Copper Gold Project. Klip says that the campaign is yielding exceptional results, including what he calls a "very significant intercept" of 386 m of 0.66% Cu, including 196 m of 0.99% Cu. He highlights the project's backing from major players like Rio Tinto and European automaker Stellantis, which invested over $150 million. He also highlights the focus by Rob McEwen and his team at McEwen Copper on making the Project as green as possible in its design, which includes measures to reduce water usage, to reduce electricity consumption by 70%, and to cut emissions by half compared to previous PEA estimates made in 2017. Klip also touched on potential TNR Gold Los Azules Copper royalty valuation, mentioning that future drill holes demonstrating substantial copper values would further enhance royalty potential. He also reiterates TNR Gold's commitment to maximising shareholder value, as underscored by a share buyback program and a shareholder rights plan.

EV charging infrastructure stocks still "lingering at low valuations" - Solactive AG

HANetf Holdings Limited

Solactive AG Head of Research Konrad Sippel speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about two major developments from the world of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. He starts by highlighting Toyota's breakthrough announcement on solid-state batteries, projected for commercial use around 2027-2028. These batteries promise a game-changing 1,200km range worth of charge in just 10-minutes - a development that would bring EV charging close to the level of speed and convenience of traditional fossil fuel refilling. He goes on to say that the European Parliament has passed legislation this summer mandating EV fast charging along major highways. Sippel underlines the significance of this move in making EV charging akin to the convenience of petrol stations, allowing spontaneous long trips without extensive planning. By 2026, fast charging stations will be found at least every 60 km. He expresses hope that the two recent developments will help further convince the market of the permanence of the EV revolution, noting that EV charging infrastructure stocks are "still lingering at low valuations." Sippel also addresses synthetic gasoline's potential role, but he views it as a luxury option due to high production costs compared to electricity. He goes on to predict the market will continue to see increasing EV registrations, with the transition from early adopters to mainstream adoption potentially occurring when EVs reach 50% of the market.

Ilika CEO says Cirtec deal an "absolutely fantastic validation"

Ilika PLC

Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF) CEO Graeme Purdy speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after announcing the signing of a 10-year agreement with US complex medical device company Cirtec Medical to provide Ilika's Stereax solid-state batteries. The deal establishes an exclusive relationship with Cirtech for the use of Stereax batteries in medical devices and features an initial period of profit sharing, later transitioning into a royalty on net sales, ensuring mutual benefit. He refers to the deal as an "absolutely fantastic verification and validation" of Ilika's business model. Purdy suggests that despite Stereax's potential suitability for use in sectors such as the Internet of Things, he's always been clear that the initial commercial focus for Ilika during Stereax's early life will be on medical devices. He also mentions what he calls exciting progress with the other side of the business, the much larger Goliath Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries, and signals more positive developments in the future.

Saietta Group PLC (AIM:SED) executive chairman Tony Gott and group CFO Steve Harrison speak to Thomas Warner from Proactive about two significant recent developments at the electric drivetrain (eDrive) solutions company. Saietta recently announced changes to its agreement with auto component giants Consolidated Metco (ConMet) that mean Saietta will receive an "immediate cash injection of €3.3mln" and the removal of "around €2mln of cash burn..." in exchange for the assignment to ConMet of jointly-developed intellectual property, machinery and equipment related to the development of an in-wheel generator (IWG) and an in-wheel motor (IWM).

He also says he remains confident that Saietta will meet its stated aim of being EBITDA positive in the first calendar quarter of 2024. Gott goes on to highlight news from the week prior that Saietta has signed a new agreement with a commercial partner, described as “one of the largest OEMs in the Indian light-duty mobility market”, which sets up an opportunity to distribute some 60,000 EV drive chain units over a potential 5-year period. The agreement covers an anticipated third line of electric vehicles with its existing Indian client, and, follows a previously announced client partnership, which was set up to support product development and industrialisation of electric vehicle (EV) drive systems and their associated electronics.

Cepton discusses national security and cybersecurity concerns in LiDAR industry

Cepton Inc

Brunno Moretti, vice president of product at Cepton Inc, discusses the implications of potential action against Chinese LiDAR companies by Washington in an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Moretti highlights two main concerns: national security and cybersecurity. LiDAR technology is crucial for creating high-definition maps around vehicles, but if parts are produced by state-backed entities from non-allied countries, there are risks related to data security and mapping sensitive areas. Moretti also emphasizes the importance of a level playing field in the LiDAR industry and the need to ensure fair competition by preventing state-subsidized companies from gaining an unfair advantage. Cepton is part of the LiDAR Coalition, which includes US and US ally-based companies aiming to raise these concerns with lawmakers. Moretti underlines the significance of this discussion, especially as LiDAR technology is just emerging in the automotive sector. He concludes by reaffirming Cepton's commitment to safety and consumer awareness regarding the technology embedded in their vehicles.
