Leeuwin Metals advances Cross Lake Lithium Project with upcoming maiden drilling

LEEUWIN METALS LTD

Leeuwin Metals Ltd (ASX:LM1) joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the progress in its operations during the last quarter and what’s to come, particularly highlighting the Cross Lake Lithium Project in Manitoba, Canada. Piggott emphasises the advancement of this project, where 4.7 kilometres of lithium-rich pegmatites have been identified and sampled, showcasing the site's potential for a large-scale lithium operation. The company is poised to start its maiden drilling program at Cross Lake, with plans to drill a 2,500-metre phase-1 program targeting multiple high-grade spodumene-bearing pegmatites. This will be the first significant exploration in the area in over 40 years, focusing on known high-grade intercepts and aiming to explore both shallow mineralisation and down dip extents with hole depths ranging from 50 to 200 metres. In addition to Cross Lake, Leeuwin Metals is reviewing work at the William Lake Nickel Project in Manitoba, exploring for nickel and platinum group elements (PGE). This review aims to guide further exploration and identify additional PGE opportunities. In Western Australia, Leeuwin started field activities in early 2024, with soil sampling revealing a promising 9.5-kilometre rare earth elements (REE) anomaly in the Gascoyne region. The company has conducted further mapping and sampling, with assay results pending, and continues to explore additional tenure opportunities in this region. Leeuwin Metals maintains a robust cash position and a focused exploration team, both crucial as they advance these critical metals projects in Canada and Australia. The upcoming summer season's activities, including detailed mapping and geochemical sampling, are anticipated to further underscore the exploration potential across its diverse portfolio.

New meme coin launch $ROCKY surges past $20M Market cap in 3 days, defying the market trends

Metawin

Three days into its existence, $ROCKY, the latest meme coin to hit the Base blockchain, has surged to a remarkable $20.6 million market cap in a predominantly red market. Launched quietly on a Saturday by MetaWin ’s founder, Skel, the rise of $ROCKY has achieved growth without the benefit of prior hype or a pre-sale event. Surprisingly, even the internal MetaWin team was unaware of the launch, waking up to the news only as it began trending among users in the Arena Discord. Skel promptly rallied a task force from MetaWin’s 80-strong team to devise a robust strategy for $ROCKY’s future. Enhancements have been rapid and impactful, with the team securing a partnership with a renowned Hollywood art studio to bolster their social media campaigns, integrating $ROCKY into MetaWin’s platform for token-gated competitions, and leveraging their in-house network of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) effectively. In a bold move on X (formerly Twitter), Skel projected a $100 million market cap for $ROCKY, offering to provide exit liquidity at a $5 million valuation – a commitment that saw the token’s price quadruple within just ten hours. “The wider market was downtrending, and $ROCKY was initially part of that slump. I dislike seeing our community disheartened. Although I was undecided about throwing our full support behind the project, at MetaWin, when we commit, we go all in,” stated Skel. “Seeing the enthusiasm from our community has solidified $ROCKY as MetaWin’s unofficial meme coin, and we are now unified in the vision of reaching a $100 million market cap.” This Friday’s prize draw, a staple event on the MetaWin platform, is now valued at $15,000 due to the value of the $ROCKY prizes. “With the formidable team we have and the unwavering support of the MetaWin community, I believe we can achieve extraordinary things. $ROCKY is now the fastest growing meme coin in the history of the Base chain. While the road ahead is promising, with potential to scale towards the likes of Pepe’s $3 billion market cap, we always remind our community about the high-risk nature of cryptocurrency investments,” Skel added. The inception of $ROCKY drew its initial spark from an unlikely source – a picture of Skel’s Pomeranian, also named Rocky, perched on a pile of money. This image, processed through ChatGPT’s DALL-E AI image generator, became the inaugural graphic identity for the token across social media and various DEX tools. In a display of commitment to the coin’s longevity and their community’s trust, the MetaWin team has locked up their token allocation for a minimum of one year, ensuring that they stand firmly alongside their community in this venture. As $ROCKY’s journey continues, the market watches with anticipation, marking an extraordinary chapter in the annals of cryptocurrency’s vibrant history. With its current trajectory, $ROCKY is not just a token; it’s a testament to what the community can achieve when united behind a visionary leader and an innovative project. Users can participate in $ROCKY daily competitions on BASE or with an NFT purchase. For the latest updates and to embark on the $ROCKY journey users can visit www.RockyCoinbase.com or X.com/rockycoinbase. About MetaWin: Founded by Skel, MetaWin stands as the premier platform for on-chain prize competitions and instant win games, offering a diverse array of entertaining challenges for users.

Stephen Lewis Foundation co-founder Ilana Landsberg-Lewis will accept the award.   The Stephen Lewis Foundation partners with community-led organizations that empower women and girls, grandmothers, orphaned and vulnerable children, LGBTIQ communities and people living with HIV. It delivers funds directly to these organizations who are at the forefront of responses to the HIV epidemic in 14 countries across sub-Saharan Africa.   "Working with, and learning from, African women leaders of grassroots organizations at the frontlines of the AIDS pandemic is what lies at the heart of the core values of the Stephen Lewis Foundation,” said Stephen Lewis Foundation co-founder Ilana Landsberg-Lewis. “Our aspiration is to amplify their voices and expertise. We aim to ensure that they have support that responds to their own priorities and agendas, and that their advocacy, power, deep knowledge, resilience and persistence are recognized as an essential and transformative force.”   The Lions Humanitarian Award is the association's highest honor, given to an individual or an organization with exemplary humanitarian efforts. This award comes with a Lions Clubs International Foundation grant for up to US$250,000 to a charitable organization for continuing humanitarian activities. The Stephen Lewis Foundation joins a distinguished list of prior recipients, including Mother Teresa, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and Chef and humanitarian José Andrés.   "We are truly honored to present this award to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, whose leaders, donors and volunteers strive to create a future free from stigma and poverty arising from the impact of HIV and AIDS on families in sub-Saharan Africa and to instill hope in generations to come," said Lions International President Dr. Patti Hill. "The foundation’s work, including the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, creates oases of love and strength, weaving a tapestry of care that stretches across communities around the world. They truly are changing the world one life at a time.”   Since 2006, Canadian, American, Australian, and British grandmothers and grandothers have joined African grandmothers in solidarity through the Campaign. Thousands of members raise significant funds — $40 million — and awareness in support of grandmothers caring for children who have lost their parents to AIDS, and to claim their human rights. They rally behind the call, “We will not rest until they can rest!”   Learn more about the Lions Humanitarian Award and see our list of winners at www.lionsclubs.org/humanitarian-winners.   About Lions International   Lions International is the largest service club organization in the world.

Giyani Metals advances with key financing for Botswana manganese project targeting the EV industry

Giyani Metals Corp

Giyani Metals Corp (TSX-V:EMM, OTC:CATPF) CEO Danny Keating joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with news that the company is pushing quickly ahead with its flagship high-purity K. Hill manganese project in Botswana and the construction of a demonstration plant in Johannesburg. The company has drawn down the first $5.7 million of a $16 million convertible loan facility secured from South Africa's Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). In total, Keating said the company has completed a $26 million funding round, minimising shareholder dilution by combining equity and debt financing strategies. This funding supports the construction of the demonstration plant, which will play a crucial role in establishing credibility with potential customers through the production and consistent delivery of high-quality manganese. Keating said the company, focusing on the development of high-purity manganese for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, addresses a growing demand in a market predominantly dominated by Chinese production. He emphasized the strategic importance of diversifying the supply chain to include non-Chinese sources, highlighting Giyani Metals' efforts to establish Western production capabilities. Keating also touched on the forthcoming stages of the project, including a definitive feasibility study slated for 2025, which will precede final investment decisions. The strategic developments at Giyani Metals are poised to position the company favourably within the evolving EV battery component market, capitalising on legislative shifts such as the US Inflation Reduction Act, which mandates increased use of non-Chinese materials in EV batteries.
