Hive Digital Technologies Chief Financial Officer Darcy Daubaras joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, highlighting record revenue growth, expanding profitability metrics, and continued progress across both its Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure businesses. HIVE reported total revenue of $297.8 million during fiscal 2026, generated from a combination of digital currency mining operations and high-performance computing hosting services. The strong performance reflects the company’s strategy of leveraging its expertise in large-scale computing infrastructure to capitalize on opportunities in both blockchain technology and artificial intelligence. A major contributor to growth was the company’s Bitcoin mining business, where digital currency revenue increased 164% year-over-year. The improvement was driven by a substantial expansion of HIVE’s mining capacity, with installed operational hashrate increasing approximately four-fold compared to the prior year, alongside a significantly higher average Bitcoin price environment. During fiscal 2026, HIVE mined 2,885 Bitcoin, representing a 104% increase from the 1,414 Bitcoin mined in fiscal 2025. Notably, the company achieved this growth despite a significant increase in network difficulty, which rose approximately 42% year-over-year from an average of 95.7 trillion to 135.8 trillion. Management highlighted that the company’s production growth substantially outpaced the increase in mining difficulty, demonstrating the effectiveness of its infrastructure expansion strategy. Beyond cryptocurrency mining, HIVE’s BUZZ HPC division delivered record performance as demand for AI-focused computing infrastructure continued to accelerate. The business generated $19.5 million in revenue during fiscal 2026, representing a 94% increase compared with $10 million in fiscal 2025. Financially, HIVE demonstrated meaningful operating leverage throughout the year. Revenue increased 158% year-over-year, while gross operating margin expanded to 36.2%. Cash generated from operations climbed to $62.3 million, representing a 3.5-fold increase compared to the previous fiscal year. Looking ahead, HIVE enters fiscal 2027 with what management describes as a fully funded Paraguay expansion program, a growing pipeline of high-performance computing opportunities, and significant financial flexibility. The company plans to continue allocating capital toward opportunities that offer the highest returns across both its Bitcoin mining operations and rapidly expanding AI infrastructure platform. #proactiveinvestors #hivedigitaltechnologieslet #tsxv #hive #nasdaq #hive #darcydaubaras #BitcoinMining #ArtificialIntelligence #HighPerformanceComputing #CryptoMining #DigitalInfrastructure #AIComputing #BlockchainTechnology #GPUCloud #TechnologyStocks

Purepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the critical role strategic partnerships play in the uranium exploration sector and why collaborations between junior explorers and major mining companies have become an increasingly important model for advancing high-potential projects. Frostad explained that successful joint ventures begin with high-quality exploration assets capable of attracting industry leaders seeking long-term growth opportunities. According to Frostad, major mining companies are ultimately drawn to projects that offer either significant exploration upside, strategic geographic positioning, or the potential to contribute to future uranium production pipelines. Using Purepoint’s partnerships with Cameco, Orano, and IsoEnergy as examples, Frostad outlined how these relationships create a framework that allows projects to advance more efficiently while balancing risk and capital requirements. He noted that large mining companies often manage extensive global portfolios and therefore benefit from working with focused exploration teams that can dedicate significant attention to individual assets. The discussion highlighted Purepoint’s Hook Lake and Smart Lake projects, both located in Saskatchewan’s prolific Athabasca Basin, one of the world’s premier uranium-producing regions. Frostad explained that partnerships on these projects combine the strengths of each participant, with Purepoint contributing specialized exploration expertise, local operational knowledge, and agility, while larger partners provide financial resources, technical capabilities, and extensive industry experience. A key advantage of these strategic relationships is the validation they provide. Frostad emphasized that when major uranium producers and developers commit funding to exploration programs, it sends a strong signal regarding the quality and potential of the underlying assets. As Frostad noted, “If they didn’t see a lot of promise in these projects, they would not be writing checks to advance them.” Beyond financial support, major mining companies also contribute sophisticated geological analysis, advanced exploration techniques, and decades of uranium development experience that can significantly enhance project evaluation and decision-making. However, Frostad acknowledged that maintaining momentum within joint ventures requires continuous effort. Because large mining companies often have numerous projects competing for internal funding, exploration teams must consistently demonstrate progress, deliver meaningful results, and highlight the value of ongoing investment opportunities. He explained that securing capital allocation within a major company’s portfolio can be highly competitive, making it essential for junior partners to maintain a strong technical case for continued exploration. Successful programs must continually generate data and discoveries that justify further expenditures and advancement. #proact

Record Resources COO Alain Mizelle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s offshore oil development plans in Gabon, highlighting encouraging geological and geophysical studies that suggest the first production well at the Loba oil discovery could deliver initial production rates exceeding 5,000 barrels of oil per day. Mizelle explained that recent technical evaluations of the Loba discovery, combined with analysis of nearby producing analogue fields, continue to strengthen confidence in the project’s development potential. The company’s planned Loba Marine 2 well is targeting the highly prospective Batanga reservoir and is expected to achieve production rates above 5,000 barrels per day if completed with modern production technologies, including a frac-pack completion and an electric submersible pump (ESP). The production forecast is supported by performance data from the nearby Barbier Southwest field, which was originally identified by the company in 2017 as a highly attractive development opportunity. Located adjacent to Record Resources’ Ngulu Block and now operated by Perenco, the Barbier Southwest field has recently entered production and serves as an important analogue for the Loba development because it produces from the same Batanga reservoir system. According to Mizelle, the broader Loba field complex offers considerably larger production potential beyond the initial well. Based on data from nearby offset fields and comparable multi-well developments, management believes the Loba complex could ultimately support production of approximately 20,000 barrels of oil per day. Several analogous wells drilled within 40 kilometres of the Loba discovery have delivered initial production rates as high as 7,600 barrels per day from single completions within the same reservoir interval. The Loba field complex encompasses multiple development opportunities, including the existing Loba oil discovery in the Batanga reservoir, the deeper Loba Deep prospect targeting the Anguille formation, and the Loba East Batanga prospect located on the eastern flank of the salt dome structure. Together, these targets provide the potential for a broader field development program that could significantly expand recoverable resources and future production capacity. A key advantage for Record Resources is the financial structure of its partnership on the Ngulu Block. Under the agreement with its strategic partner and operator, the company is fully carried through the first phase of exploration and appraisal expenditures. This arrangement includes all seismic reprocessing activities and the drilling of the first exploration well through to total depth. #proactiveinvestors #tsxv #rec #mining #recordresources #OilAndGas #NguluBlock #GabonOil #OilExploration #AfricanEnergy #Gabon #EnergySector #OilDiscovery #OffshoreDrilling #EnergyInvestment #Exploration #Petroleum #ResourceDevelopment #Batanga

Delivra Health Brands CEO Gord Davey joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, highlighting the impact of geopolitical disruptions on international sales while emphasizing the continued strength of its core brands and growing e-commerce business. Delivra Health’s portfolio includes the well-established Dream Water® and LivRelief™ brands, which are focused on addressing common consumer health concerns including sleep support, chronic pain management, anxiety relief, and overall wellness. Despite facing external challenges during the reporting period, management said consumer demand for the company’s products remains resilient across key markets. Davey explained that quarterly and year-to-date revenue was primarily affected by reduced sales from the United States to the company’s distribution partners in the Middle East. Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region, including disruptions associated with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, significantly impacted the movement of goods and delayed shipments of Dream Water® products to distributors and retail partners. These disruptions accounted for much of the decline in sales compared with the same period in the previous year. As a result, Delivra reported a 24% decrease in net revenue, driven largely by lower Dream Water® sales into international distribution channels. The company also faced additional pressure from rising costs for certain product ingredients, creating further short-term challenges for margins and overall financial performance. Despite these temporary setbacks, management remains optimistic about a recovery in international sales. Davey noted that the company expects shipping and delivery activity into affected regions to resume during the fourth quarter and into fiscal 2027. Delivra has already received new order commitments and growth forecasts from international partners, providing confidence that sales volumes can return to historical levels once logistical constraints ease. Meanwhile, the company continues to see encouraging progress in its direct-to-consumer and e-commerce operations. Dream Water® Canada generated a 13% increase in year-to-date e-commerce sales, while LivRelief™ recorded an even stronger 32% increase over the same period. Management believes these results demonstrate strong brand loyalty, increasing consumer engagement, and a growing level of repeat purchases across North America. The company also completed the transition of its licensed LivRelief™ Infused product portfolio, a move designed to support a more efficient distribution model and improve long-term market reach. Management expects the revised channel strategy to strengthen future sales performance and enhance customer access to the product line. Looking ahead, Delivra Health is actively working to optimize distribution channels, improve inventory flow, and capitalize on expanding e-commerce opport

American Rare Earths CEO Mark Wall joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the start of the company’s 2026 exploration drilling program at the Cowboy State Mine within the Halleck Creek Rare Earths Project in Wyoming. The new campaign represents the beginning of feasibility-level drilling designed to support advancement toward a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) at what is believed to be the largest known rare earth deposit in the United States based on total rare earth oxide content. Wall explained that the program is intended to establish the geological, geotechnical, and engineering foundation necessary for future mine planning and reserve development. The company plans to complete approximately 3,050 metres of HQ core drilling across 19 drill holes focused on the Red Mountain area of the project. Drilling officially commenced on May 13, 2026, and is expected to continue through mid-July. According to the company, the program is anticipated to generate approximately 1,045 core samples for laboratory assay testing. Remaining core material will be preserved for additional technical work, including geotechnical, hydrological, environmental, and metallurgical studies that will contribute to the DFS process and future mine design considerations. American Rare Earths also noted that all drill holes will undergo detailed geophysical logging, including optical and acoustic televiewer surveys where appropriate. These studies are expected to support advanced geomechanical analysis and provide important data related to rock structure, stability, and engineering requirements for potential future mining operations. Nine of the planned core holes are positioned on the top of Red Mountain and are specifically targeting higher-grade mineralized zones expected to contribute to the first five years of planned production, as outlined in the Cowboy State Mine pre-feasibility study pit shells. The company said these holes are designed to support future ore reserve estimation and improve confidence in the early-stage mine plan as work progresses toward the DFS. An additional ten core holes will be drilled around the base of Red Mountain, where previous channel sampling and recent geological mapping identified areas of potentially higher-grade mineralization.

American Resources Corp CEO Mark Jensen joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Electrified Materials Corporation (EMCO), has procured its initial battery shredding line as part of a major expansion of its domestic battery recycling and critical mineral processing platform. The new system is designed to enhance EMCO’s ability to safely process lithium-ion batteries and produce conditioned battery feedstocks that can be supplied to ReElement Technologies Corporation for downstream separation, purification, and refining. Management described the addition as another important step toward building an integrated domestic supply chain for critical battery materials in the United States. Jensen explained that the battery shredding line complements EMCO’s existing capabilities in processing and conditioning recovered magnet materials, copper, aluminum, and ferrous metals sourced from end-of-life products and manufacturing scrap. The new battery processing capacity expands the company’s ability to manage end-of-life, off-warranty, and off-spec lithium-ion batteries through safe disposition, shredding, pre-processing, and conditioning services. The company’s initial focus will center on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry, which has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the global battery market. LFP batteries are increasingly used in electric vehicles, stationary energy storage systems, commercial transportation fleets, industrial equipment, and other high-volume electrification applications due to their lower cost profile, long cycle life, improved thermal stability, and reduced dependence on nickel and cobalt. Despite the rapid growth of LFP adoption, recycling these batteries has historically presented economic challenges because they lack the higher concentrations of nickel and cobalt commonly found in other lithium-ion battery chemistries. Jensen noted that EMCO and ReElement believe their integrated platform helps solve this issue by creating a viable recycling model based primarily on lithium recovery economics rather than relying on higher-value metals. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #ReElementTechnologies #BatteryRecycling #CriticalMinerals #LithiumIonBatteries #LFPBatteries #RecyclingTechnology #EnergyStorage #EVBatteries #ReElement #CircularEconomy #emco #lfp

BioVie CEO Cuong Do joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful completion of patient enrollment for the company’s ADDRESS-LC Phase 2 clinical study evaluating its drug candidate bezisterim for the treatment of neurological symptoms associated with Long COVID. The study marks an important milestone for the company and is fully funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Defense, helping advance the program without additional financing pressures tied directly to the trial. Do highlighted the growing healthcare challenge posed by Long COVID, which continues to affect millions of individuals long after their initial infection. According to estimates, approximately 15 million adults in the United States reported experiencing Long COVID between 2022 and 2023, with roughly 3.8 million indicating that symptoms significantly interfered with their daily activities and quality of life. The persistence of symptoms has created an increasing need for effective treatment options and greater clinical understanding of the condition. He explained that nearly half of individuals experiencing Long COVID develop symptoms that can persist either continuously or intermittently over extended periods. Among the most common and debilitating complications are neurological symptoms, which often include fatigue, cognitive impairment commonly referred to as “brain fog,” persistent cognitive dysfunction, post-exertional malaise, and sleep disturbances. These symptoms can create significant physical and emotional challenges for patients and have emerged as one of the major areas of focus in Long COVID research. BioVie noted that advancing scientific understanding continues to strengthen the rationale for bezisterim’s proposed mechanism of action. The company believes that growing evidence increasingly points to chronic inflammation and ongoing immune system activity as key contributors to many Long COVID symptoms, particularly those affecting neurological and neuropsychiatric function. Bezisterim is designed to target inflammatory pathways that may be driving these persistent symptoms. Despite growing awareness of Long COVID and increasing research efforts, treatment options remain limited.

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce additional assay results from the company’s Phase 3 diamond drill program at the Berenguela silver-copper-manganese deposit located in the Department of Puno in southern Peru. Rushton explained that the latest results are based on 19 drill holes from the ongoing 90-hole diamond drilling campaign. The drilling program is primarily focused on infill work along a 225-metre strike length across two key zones within the existing resource area. The goal of the campaign is to better define higher-grade mineralization suitable for potential early-stage mining opportunities while also improving geological understanding of the broader deposit. The company is targeting several important objectives through the current drill campaign, including delineating high-grade zones that may support initial mining activities and refining the geological model for future planning and development work. To date, Aftermath Silver has completed approximately 15,540 metres of core drilling across three phases of activity. Management noted that assay results from approximately 15 additional holes remain outstanding and are expected to be reported in future updates. Rushton added that copper results from the latest holes have also been encouraging and could provide additional benefits to the project’s economics through potential future production scenarios. The company also reported that infill drilling across Domains 1 and 2 of the current mineral resource estimate has now been completed. Drilling activities have temporarily shifted to additional geotechnical work designed to support the ongoing pre-feasibility study currently underway. This work is being supervised by local Peruvian engineering company Amphos 21. Beyond the existing resource footprint, exploration activity continues to generate additional targets. The company noted that drilling has also identified high-grade copper mineralization near the eastern portion of the resource area where road construction is planned. In addition, sampling within the Southwest Intrusive/Skarn target area returned anomalous copper mineralization associated with silicified limestone over an approximate two-kilometre strike length. Management believes the combination of resource expansion potential, higher-grade mineralization targets, and ongoing engineering work continues to strengthen the long-term development outlook for the Berenguela project. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #BerenguelaProject #SilverProject #CopperProject #Manganese #PreFeasibilityStudy #PFS #MiningDevelopment #PeruMining #Mining #Silver #Exploration #ResourceDevelopment #MiningStocks #CriticalMinerals

Alternative Ballistics Corporation CEO Steve Luna and Executive Vice President Vanessa Luna joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s patented bullet capture technology and its strategy for expanding across law enforcement and consumer markets. During the interview, Steve Luna outlined the company’s proprietary system, which is designed to convert a standard semi-automatic firearm into a less-lethal option through a three-part attachment system that can be rapidly deployed in the field. The technology aims to provide officers with an additional response option during encounters where a lethal response may not be necessary but a threat still exists. According to Luna, the system is currently compatible with approximately 70% of firearms commonly used by law enforcement agencies and has undergone extensive testing, including evaluations aligned with evolving standards from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). Luna explained that the technology functions by capturing the fired projectile inside a specially engineered cavity, significantly reducing its velocity before impact. He noted that the system is intended for situations involving weapons other than firearms and could provide officers with an additional tool for de-escalation and response flexibility. The company is currently conducting pilot programs with multiple law enforcement agencies while simultaneously expanding its international footprint through a network of more than 30 distributors. Vanessa Luna also discussed the company’s decision to enter public markets, emphasizing that becoming publicly traded provides both increased visibility and access to capital needed to support commercialization and long-term growth initiatives. Management believes broader awareness is an important component in advancing adoption of its technology platform. Beyond law enforcement applications, the company sees significant opportunity in the consumer firearms market, which management estimates could be substantially larger than its initial institutional target market. Planned growth initiatives include partnerships with firearm retailers, concealed-carry instructor networks, and direct e-commerce channels. The company also noted that it received an opinion letter from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives stating that the product is not classified as a firearm, ammunition, or destructive device, a determination management believes could help streamline future market adoption. #proactiveinvestors #AlternativeBallisticsCorporation #otcqb #albc #lesslethal #LawEnforcement #PublicSafety #DefenseTech #Innovation #SecurityTechnology #PoliceTechnology #TechStocks #SafetySolutions
