Polymetals finalises acquisition of Endeavor Silver, Zinc & Lead Mine

Polymetals Resources Ltd

Polymetals Resources Ltd (ASX: POL) executive chairman David Sproule sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the acquisition of the Endeavor Silver, Zinc & Lead Mine. This revised acquisition, through Polymetals' subsidiary Cobar Metals Pty Ltd, ensures 100% ownership of the mine and its associated exploration tenements in NSW's Cobar Basin. The new agreements allow for a two-year deferral on the replacement of the approximately $28 million Endeavor Mine Rehabilitation Bond, originally due by April 2024, under the conditions of a prior agreement. This extension aids Polymetals in securing project financing and hastening the mine’s restart, with production aimed for the first half of 2025. The updated deal not only transfers ownership but also positions Polymetals to enhance economic contributions to the local community by creating over 200 jobs and potentially increasing the mine's life through further exploration and treatment improvements. This acquisition, pending shareholder approval and compliance with several set conditions, marks a significant stride towards leveraging the favourable market conditions for base metals. Shareholder consent is particularly crucial for the grant of security over assets owned by Cobar Operations Pty Ltd and Endeavor Operations Pty Ltd, as required under the financial assistance provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Mako Gold advances Napié gold and Korhogo manganese projects

MAKO GOLD LIMITED

Mako Gold Ltd (ASX:MKG) managing director Peter Ledwidge sits down with Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to chat through the completion of a mechanical trenching program at the Tchaga North prospect within the Napié Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire, covering 762 metres with samples taken at 1-metre intervals. The trenching targeted new high-grade gold zones identified by recent field mapping and rock chip sampling, yielding high gold concentrations (79.50 g/t, 76.10 g/t, 60.66 g/t). The zones examined included the Ladder Zone, Central Zone, Double Zone and other newly mapped areas. Mako is now awaiting assay results to further evaluate the trenches and plan subsequent drilling operations. The trenches revealed numerous east-west oriented quartz veins and stringers in stockworks, which have not yet been tested by drilling. Additionally, Mako continues to explore strategic partnership opportunities for its Korhogo Manganese Project, also in Côte d’Ivoire, aiming to secure third-party funding to focus more on the Napié Gold Project. Management has noted increased interest in this project and is planning site visits soon. Ledwidge noted the resilience of the company’s low-cost exploration strategy amid market fluctuations and the impact of Cyclone Megan on manganese prices, which has also seen increased demand due to its use in electric vehicles. Mako remains optimistic about leveraging rising prices for both gold and manganese. Furthermore, Mako concluded its due diligence for the potential acquisition of Goldridge, having previously signed an Exclusivity Deed with Goldridge. While this deed has expired, Mako awaits further assay results from Goldridge’s ongoing 4,000-metre diamond drilling program before making final acquisition decisions.

Sarytogan Graphite achieves breakthrough in nuclear-grade purity

Sarytogan Graphite Ltd

Sarytogan Graphite Ltd (ASX: SGA) managing director Sean Gregory sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss how its high-purity graphite, previously verified at above 99.999% carbon purity, has achieved an impressive Equivalent Boron Content (EBC) assay of 1.1 ppm. This result is well below the 2 ppm maximum required for nuclear-grade graphite, confirming its suitability for high-specification applications such as nuclear reactors. This benchmark was achieved through independent assays performed in the USA, highlighting the graphite's compliance with stringent international standards. Gregory says that this achievement adds a super-premium aspect to their product range, enhancing its appeal in various markets, including lithium-ion batteries and advanced industrial applications. He also notes that the pre-feasibility study is progressing as planned, with publication expected in the third quarter of the year. Graphite's essential role in nuclear reactors as a moderator, which helps maintain a continuous chain reaction, is underscored by the necessity for high purity to avoid neutron absorption by impurities like boron. The global demand for nuclear graphite, driven by renewed investment in nuclear power, underscores the strategic importance of Sarytogan's developments in this area. In addition to nuclear uses, Sarytogan is expanding its product line to include three main types - microcrystalline graphite for traditional uses, Uncoated Spherical Purified Graphite (USPG) for lithium-ion batteries and Ultra High Purity Fines (UHPF) for advanced industrial applications.

JONATHAN BAKER’S ‘FATE THE MOVIE’ ADDS BRANDON ROUTH, MENA SUVARI, AND CHEECH MARIN TO THE CAST

FATE

Los Angeles, CA (May 13, 2024) - Baker Entertainment Group, a film production company led by visionary filmmaker Jonathan Baker, has announced the latest key additions to its ensemble cast for the upcoming feature "Fate The Movie", including Brandon Routh (“Superman Returns”, “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”), Mena Suvari (“Grace and Grit”, “American Beauty”), and Cheech Marin (“Cheech & Chong”, “From Dusk Till Dawn”). Production is underway in Vancouver with previously announced actors Academy Award-winner Faye Dunaway (“Bonnie & Clyde”, “Chinatown,” “Network”), Academy Award-nominee Harvey Keitel (“Bugsy”, "Reservoir Dogs", “Taxi Driver”), and Actor, Director, Writer, Andrew McCarthy (“The Blacklist,” “Orange is the New Black” and the upcoming documentary “Brats”). Highland Film Group is handling international rights, launching sales at the Marché du Cannes. “We’re honored to welcome Brandon Routh, Mena Suvari, and Cheech Marin to our extraordinary cast on “Fate The Movie”, which is going to be the second to last film I ever make,” said Jonathan Baker, producer, writer and director. “Their collective talent, along with the esteemed contributions of Hollywood Legends Faye Dunaway, Harvey Keitel, and Andrew McCarthy, adds immense depth to our film. With this dream cast, we’re thrilled to bring this epic love story to life in an unforgettable way.” Enthralled by smart storytelling and larger-than-life figures, “Fate The Movie” has secured the rights to Nat King Cole and his hit ‘Unforgettable’, acting as the north star in the film. The music partnership between Baker Entertainment Group and the Nat King Cole Foundation plays a large part of the film by portraying a new “character” on the project. “'Unforgettable' is not just a song in our film; it's a beacon, guiding audiences through the emotional journey of the film. I'm honored to have the Foundation's endorsement, and I look forward to paying tribute to him through the film”. Synopsis: It takes a minute to find a special person and an entire lifetime to forget them. After a rescue mission gone wrong, a firefighter Sam Ellis (Brandon Routh) connects with a stranger from the past Tilly, while he's healing at a rehabilitation center and is transported through time to find the only thing saving his soul, is his realization of true love. Leading the cast in “Fate The Movie” is Superman himself Brandon Routh, continuing his excellent run of recent projects. Routh was handpicked from hundreds of actors and Jonathan was passionate from the beginning that Brandon was the only actor who could bring this role to life. “His dashing good looks, comedic timing, and charm are unmatched. Brandon will help connect audiences to the story of ‘Fate The Movie’ as the world falls in love with him and our movie,” said Jonathan Baker. In Mena, Jonathan was inspired by “Grace & Grit”, blown away by her range and instincts as an actor. “Her complicated character, and the emotional undertaking required for such a key role could only be achieved by someone of Mena’s stature and experience.” Jonathan is also excited to welcome the iconic Cheech Marin as a pivotal character, drawing inspiration from comedic actors playing against type such as Dave Chappelle in Bradley Cooper’s ‘A Star Is Born’ and the late Don Rickles in ‘Casino.’ Jonathan believes “Cheech will stand out, bringing charisma and wit to an important role”. “Fate” also includes Sienna Soho Baker who rejoins her father for the first time since she was 4 years old, playing opposite Nicholas Cage in “Inconceivable.” James Van Patten rounds out the cast with over 40 movies under his belt including the “Saw” franchise and “Inconceivable”, where he previously worked with Jonathan. The son of the late Dick Van Patten, James comes from Hollywood royalty and is excited to join the cast. Jonathan Baker is producing “Fate The Movie” after being in development for five years, bringing a singular ambition and passion to creating this feature film. ### Contact Details Jive PR + Digital Jordan Parlee jordan@jiveprdigital.com Company Website https://www.bakerentertainmentgroup.com
