Royal Road Minerals Ltd (TSX-V:RYR, OTC:RRDMF, FRA:RLU) CEO Dr Tim Coughlin tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that drilling at Margaritas has delivered a genuine surprise: high-grade silver-antimony veins where the company expected gold-rich epithermal mineralisation, alongside a broader low-grade envelope pointing toward a larger porphyry system. Coughlin is direct about the significance: "We very clearly have a standalone mine potential project there for silver and antimony."

Vectoring studies in...

This interpretation is supported by severa...

Gravis head of real estate securities Matthew Norris tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the UK REIT sector is deep in a takeover wave, with further mergers and overseas acquisitions likely as discounted valuations attract motivated buyers. His advice to shareholders evaluating bids is straightforward: look beyond the headline premium and ask "what are these assets worth to this motivated buyer?" Norris sees particular opportunity in healthcare property, data centres, fulfilment centres, build-to-rent residential and supply-constrained central London markets. The numbers supporting the sector are compelling: average discounts of around 30% to NAV, dividend yields approaching 6% and analyst price targets implying roughly 19...
