    Reconnaissance Energy Africa or ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the commencement of production testing operations at the Kavango West 1X discovery well, marking a key step forward in the company’s exploration and development efforts. Reinsborough confirmed that testing operations have begun on schedule following receipt of all necessary regulatory permits. Work crews are now on site preparing the well, with critical equipment—including a production liner sourced from North America—already delivered. The company has also secured contracts with major oilfield service providers Halliburton and Schlumberger Oilfield Services, alongside engaging local suppliers to support operations. Ongoing analysis has further strengthened the project’s outlook. Incorporating additional rock data and updated log analysis, ReconAfrica has refined its petrophysical interpretation, now identifying 74 metres (246 feet) of net hydrocarbon pay in the Huttenberg formation—an increase from the previously reported 64 metres (210 feet). This improvement highlights the growing potential of the discovery as technical understanding of the reservoir advances. As operator, the company plans to conduct production testing across six optimized zones, including three within the Huttenberg formation and three in the deeper Elandshoek formation. In total, approximately 345 metres (1,132 feet) of prospective interval will be isolated and perforated for testing, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the well’s production capabilities. Beyond Namibia, Reinsborough also provided an update on the company’s activities in Gabon, specifically within the Ngulu block. ReconAfrica is currently reprocessing 3D seismic data across key areas, including the Loba oil discovery. Upon completion, the company intends to select an appraisal drilling location and commission a third-party resource report, expected by the end of 2026. The Ngulu block spans approximately 1,214 square kilometres in shallow offshore waters of central Gabon and is strategically positioned near several producing oil fields. The asset includes the Loba discovery and more than 28 identified prospects across both pre-salt and post-salt plays, underscoring its significant exploration upside. Overall, the initiation of production testing at Kavango West, combined with ongoing evaluation work in Gabon, positions ReconAfrica to further define its resource base and advance toward potential development opportunities across its portfolio. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #EnergyExploration #OilAndGas #ExplorationFinancing #Oversubscribed #NamibiaEnergy #KavangoBasin #GabonOffshore #NguluBlock #LobaDiscovery #SeismicReprocessing #AppraisalDrilling #StrategicInvestor #BWEnergy #EnergyMarkets #UpstreamEnergy #ProactiveInvestors

  • First Phosphate completes 40,000m drill program, expands mineralization at Bégin-Lamarche

    First Phosphate completes 40,000m drill program, expands mineralization at Bégin-Lamarche
    Mar 31 2026
    First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful completion of the company’s infill drill program at its Bégin-Lamarche property in Saguenay–Lac-St-Jean, Quebec. Passalacqua said the drilling campaign, which began in October 2025, confirmed extensive and continuous phosphate mineralization across the existing resource horizon. The program also led to the discovery of two new phosphate intersections in both the Northern and Southern Zones, located on the eastern extension of the known mineralized area—highlighting the project’s potential for further expansion. In response to these encouraging results, the company expanded its original 30,000-metre drill program by an additional 10,000 metres. The expanded drilling was designed to better define the newly identified zones and to test for deeper mineralization across multiple areas within both the Northern and Southern Zones. In total, approximately 40,000 metres of drilling have now been completed. First Phosphate is currently processing the full dataset, with results expected to support an updated geological model for the Bégin-Lamarche property in the coming weeks. This updated model is anticipated to enhance the company’s understanding of the scale, continuity, and grade distribution of the deposit. In addition to the operational update, the company announced a key leadership transition. Gilles Laverdiere will retire as Chief Geologist after an impressive 48-year career in the mining industry. He will be succeeded by Steeve Lavoie, P.Geo., who brings more than 20 years of mineral exploration experience, including recent work with Agnico Eagle Mines. Lavoie joined First Phosphate in November 2025 and is expected to play a key role in advancing the company’s exploration strategy moving forward. The completion of this expanded drill program and the strengthening of the technical team position First Phosphate to advance Bégin-Lamarche as a significant phosphate asset within Quebec’s growing critical minerals sector. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #BeginLamarche #QuebecMining #Phosphate #CriticalMinerals #DrillResults #MineralExploration #ResourceExpansion #SaguenayLacStJean #MiningNews #BatteryMaterials #Fertilizer #Geology #ExplorationSuccess

  • Rainbow Rare Earths CEO says £11.1M provides sufficient runway to advance projects

    Rainbow Rare Earths CEO says £11.1M provides sufficient runway to advance projects
    Mar 31 2026
    Rainbow Rare Earths Ltd (LSE:RBW, OTC:RBWRF, FRA:RR1) CEO George Bennett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s £11.1 million fundraising and the strategic significance of bringing Traxys on board as a partner linked to the US government’s Project Vault initiative. Bennett explained how this development positions Rainbow as “a major player in the rare earths market” outside China, highlighting the company’s focus on extracting rare earth elements from phosphogypsum waste residues rather than traditional mining. This approach underpins two key assets: the Phalaborwa Project in South Africa and the Uberaba Project in Brazil. He outlined that the newly secured funding provides a strong financial runway, enabling Rainbow to complete a definitive feasibility study at Phalaborwa by the end of 2026, alongside a pre-feasibility study at Uberaba in partnership with Mosaic. These milestones are expected to be critical value drivers for shareholders. Bennett also emphasised the company’s cost advantage, noting that removing mining and processing steps could make Rainbow one of the lowest-cost producers of separated rare earth oxides. He added that both projects are targeting relatively near-term production, with Phalaborwa expected online in 2029 and Uberaba in 2030. The interview also touches on the strategic opportunity presented by US efforts to build critical mineral stockpiles, positioning Rainbow within a rapidly evolving global supply chain landscape.

    Maxus Mining ramps up BC antimony exploration with 37,000-acre land package
    Mar 30 2026
    Maxus Mining CEO Scott Walters joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s rapid growth and strategic focus on critical minerals exploration in British Columbia, with a particular emphasis on antimony. Formed in late 2024 with a clear mandate to target critical minerals, Maxus Mining has quickly assembled a substantial land package of approximately 37,000 acres. A significant portion of this portfolio is dedicated to antimony, now the company’s primary exploration focus. Walters emphasized, “the main focus of the company right now… is exploring our antimony properties.” The company’s flagship Alps Alturas property is a standout due to its historical production and high-grade potential. Past mining at the site delivered exceptionally strong grades, with some samples reaching as high as 69.5% antimony. Securing 100% ownership of the asset positions Alps Alturas as the cornerstone of the company’s exploration strategy moving forward. Looking ahead to 2026, Maxus Mining is preparing for an active field season, including airborne VTEM surveys and a planned drill program exceeding 2,000 metres. With permits in hand and approximately $4 million allocated to exploration, the company is focused on defining an economic antimony resource. Walters also highlighted the growing importance of antimony as a critical mineral, noting that supply constraints and rising demand in defense and industrial applications are driving market interest. With strong infrastructure access and a strategic North American position, Maxus Mining aims to become a reliable upstream supplier of high-grade antimony, supporting both domestic and allied critical mineral needs. #proactiveinvestors #maxusmininginc #cse #maxm #otcqb #mxmgf #scottwalters #Antimony #CriticalMinerals #Mining #BritishColumbia #Exploration #ResourceDevelopment #Metals #JuniorMining #Canada
