## Resource

Metals One PLC (AIM:MET1, FRA:HT7, OTCQB:MTOPF) managing director Daniel Maling joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the strategic consolidation of the company's Lions Bay investments, lifting its ownership to 54.3% and bringing its South African mining interests under a single listed vehicle. Maling said the deal caps roughly ten months of work with Lions Bay Resources and Lions Bay Capital, during which Metals One advanced about £5 million in loan funding to support acquisitions, including a cogeneration plant in Newcastle and the Barbrook business rescue process. He said the converted stake reflects a substantial uplift in the underlying equity value created through those investments. On Barbrook, Maling said the company is in the final stages of securing the remaining Section 11 approvals needed to transfer the mining leases, with site preparation, safety procedures and community engagement already underway. An updated Competent Person's Report is expected around September or October to further define the mine plan and resource base. Beyond South Africa, Maling highlighted growing exposure to the Las Huaquillas project in Peru, offering significant exploration upside with a known gold resource and two discovered copper porphyry systems. Watch the full interview to hear how Metals One is positioning its portfolio, advancing the Barbrook restart and expanding its exposure to gold opportunities in South Africa and Peru.
