Aura Energy releases positive FEED study at Tiris

Aura Energy Ltd

Newly appointed Aura Energy Ltd (ASX:AEE) CEO Andrew Grove joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the company’s uranium ambitions and its work at the Tiris Uranium Project in Mauritania, which is poised to become a leading global near-term uranium operation following the delivery of a positive Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study. Grove gives his insight into the FEED study and what the findings indicate about the project's potential. He also outlines the expansion plans for Tiris, highlighting the strategic direction and growth objectives. Further to this, Grove speaks about the Swedish Government’s potential reversal of its uranium mining ban and what this would mean for the company’s Haagan Project in Sweden, including a possible increase in Net Present Value and strategic positioning. Grove said: "The FEED study clearly demonstrates that Tiris will be a low-cost, high value, near-term uranium producer with the ability to scale in a very strong uranium market. The market is in structural deficit and likely to continue that way for an extended period. "The strong economics at Tiris are supported by the simple, low risk mining and beneficiation that delivers the high-grade, 1,750ppm to 2,000ppm U3O8, ore to the leach plant and there are no requirements for crushing or grinding the ore. "These high grades are only matched by the deep underground mines in Canada and exceeding any current or proposed open pit uranium mines worldwide.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

AdvicePay and eMoney Streamline Workflow to Get Paid for Financial Planning with Integrations

AdvicePay

AdvicePay, the leading platform for processing payments and overseeing compliance of fee-for-service financial planning so advisors can get paid for their advice, announced today that it has launched new integrations with eMoney Advisor, a leading provider of technology solutions that helps people talk about money, that will offer efficiencies for joint customers navigating between the two platforms. With the integration, advisors can eliminate redundant tasks like logging in or creating client profiles in each platform. Advisors will also be able to send AdvicePay-generated documents, such as planning agreements or invoices, directly to their client’s eMoney vault, centralizing all important information related to their engagement with the advisor. “As more and more financial advisors charge standalone fees for their financial planning services, existing AUM-based workflows for billing from portfolio management systems may not work anymore. Instead, as financial planning becomes the central value proposition, financial planning software like eMoney becomes the central hub for clients… and so it’s only natural that financial planning fee billing capabilities become more deeply integrated to financial planning software,” said AdvicePay co-founder Michael Kitces. “We view the eMoney partnership as a unique opportunity to join forces with another leader in this space. Together, we are building an entire fee-for-service planning ecosystem to help advisors capitalize on the growing demand from consumers to be able to simply pay one-time or ongoing subscription fees for the advice relationship they want.” For AdvicePay and eMoney, the integration creates a natural synergy. The idea for the integration originated with AdvicePay clients, who expressed interest in having a tie-in between the two systems and will be available to all eMoney advisors looking to begin charging financial planning fees (or to expedite their billing workflows if they already charge for financial plans.) “We look forward to helping advisors simplify and streamline their workflow so they can more easily get paid fees for their value and spend their time doing what matters most: working with their clients to plan for the future,” said Ricky Illigasch, VP, Product Management at eMoney Advisor. In November, AdvicePay announced that it had completed its one-millionth transaction since its launch in 2018. Over the past two years, AdvicePay has experienced a 102% increase in advisors added to the platform and a 193% growth in transaction volume. In 2023, for the second straight year, AdvicePay was named one of America’s fastest-growing private companies on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list.

Ad Astra Media and Nuestro Stories Partner to Produce ‘Entre2Mundos’, a History-making Anime and Manga Series Inspired by Mesoamerican Civilizations and The Diaspora

Brilla Latina

Ad Astra Media and Nuestro Stories announced today at the 2024 AIMM GrowthFronts that they are joining forces to produce the innovative ‘Entre2Mundos’, the first ever anime and manga series set in the indigenous civilizations of Mesoamerica, as well as the Latin American communities and folklore that came afterwards. The series (see the short preview video here ) is the brainchild of director, writer, illustrator, and executive producer Marc Andrew Sanchez, who previously produced, directed and animated Sombras for Latino Public Broadcasting with Ad Astra Media. Carisse Jasmin Zepeda is the Creative Producer of the series and helps lead the amazing development team. Entre2Mundos follows the adventures of three friends who are forced to navigate a world inspired by pre-contact Mesoamerica, where diverse subcultures shape character designs. The series is the first anime to ever weave stories with rich influences from Mayan, Aztec, Incan, and Taino folklore, as well as South American, Afro Caribbean, and Central American culture. The theme of “in between” (entre dos) permeates the narrative amidst code-switching that will take place in the series between English, Spanish, Nahuatl, and other languages that fill the Latino diaspora. Nuestro Stories has joined the franchise as an executive producer, charged with developing distribution and business strategies and spearheading the PR & promotional efforts for E2M, including sponsorship sales, and other marketing partnerships. “We’re proud to join forces with a Nuestro Stories team that have the track record for storytelling, brand relationships, partnership experience, and shared vision that we need to bring this series to life,” said Jose Moray, CEO of Ad Astra Media, and executive producer of the series. “It’s an incredible opportunity and a privilege for Nuestro Stories to collaborate with the creators of E2M, a history-making anime series that so incredibly aligns with our vision and mission,” said Manny Ruiz, Chief Content Officer of Nuestro Stories, and an executive producer of the series. “Marc, Jose, and Carisse are shaping a franchise that taps into a fanatical, anime-loving global audience that is going to be wowed about what our ancestral cultural heritage represents.” Sanchez says the stories he’s crafting “draw from personal experiences as a Mexican-American and as a child of divorce, being fascinated by the history of Latinos before and after the conquest. I understand the impact of such stories, providing not only representation for various cultures and their myths and folklore stories but also resonating with those navigating family struggles in a universal way.” A Short Preview of Entre2Mundos A short video and image preview of the world of Entre2Mundos is available at this link. Sponsorship inquiries can be directed to alex@brillamedia.com. Anime is a $24 billion dollar global industry, and one that is totally untapped in the Hispanic and Latin American community that Entre2Mundos is building through the Mesoamerican narrative. Mesoamerica is a historical region and cultural area that begins in the southern part of North America and extends to the Pacific coast of Central America, thus comprising the lands of central and southern Mexico, all of Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, and small parts of Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

Zonte makes a discovery at the K6 target, drilling intersects multiple copper zones

Zonte Metals Inc.

Halifax, NS, Canada – TheNewswire - February 29, 2024 - Zonte Metals ( TSXV:ZON ) is pleased to provide an update on the K6 drilling program at it’s Cross Hills Copper Project in Newfoundland and Labrador. Drill Program Highlights Visible copper mineralization observed in all 7 drill holes. CH23-05 intersected 11.2m of 0.42% copper, including 2.65% over 0.5m. CH23-06 intersected longest mineralized interval; 34.5m of 0.1% copper. Mineralization is open along strike and to depth. Chalcocite mineralization and copper grade increase with depth. While K6 is the smallest target at Cross Hills; its success validates the effectiveness of the new exploration program. This drill success indicates the project’s potential to become a new copper belt in Canada. Terry Christopher, President and CEO comments; “We’re pleased to have made a discovery at the K6 target, following the last three years of additional surface exploration. The initial two years of exploration at Cross Hills targeted specific geophysical anomalies with moderate drill success, at best. The new combined exploration dataset has proven successful with the discovery at K6. Visually, copper was observed in all drill holes, with continuous intercepts up to 34.5m. The drilling also highlighted the presence of chalcocite as the dominant copper mineral. CH23-05 recorded 11.2m of 0.42% Cu with 1.41% and 2.64%, recorded in 0.7m and 0.5m, respectively. Mineralization remains open to depth and along strike, with copper grades increasing with depth as chalcocite percentages increase. The K6 target will be the immediate drill focus for the company and the drill permit has been applied for. The K6 target represents the first test of the combined data, and although the target is the smallest known target on the project, the drill success demonstrates that combined exploration techniques are effective for finding copper mineralization. This discovery is important on a larger property scale as it highlights the Cross Hill project is fertile with copper, potentially hosting a new copper belt in Canada.” A total of seven drill holes were completed, totaling 1741m, at the K6 target. The drill holes were positioned to test numerous aspects within the combined dataset, some of which remain untested. All seven drill holes intersected visual copper mineralization. Drill holes CH23-03, 05 and 06 recorded copper in widths up to 34.5m. Grades generally ranged from 0.10 to 0.40% Cu, with individual samples returning up to 2.64% Cu. Mineralization is characterized mainly by chalcocite, bornite and chalcopyrite with a general pattern of chalcocite becoming the dominant copper mineral with depth. The image below illustrates the K6 drill hole plan map with copper values and illustrates mineralization being open along strike, especially to the west. Drill hole CH23-07, completed along strike to the west, intersected anomalous values, however, comparing the alteration sequence in the earlier holes to this one, suggests this hole may have drilled over mineralization. Click Image To View Full Size Figure 1. Drill hole plan map with copper grades. Table 1. Drill hole assay data from the K6 drilling. *Note. The true width of the tabled intervals is unknown at this time. Table 2. Drill collar summary table for the K6 drill holes. Drill holes CH23-02, 03, 05, and 06 were completed in a fence-like pattern, as illustrated in Figure 2. Mineralization in these drill holes shows increasing grade with depth and remains open at depth. The deepest hole, CH23-05, returned 11.2m of 0.42% Cu. Within that interval, the highest values from the drilling were recorded at 1.41% and 2.64% Cu over 0.7m and 0.5m, respectively. While CH23-02 did not yield consistent values, visually, the alteration and rock type in this hole suggest that the mineralization in CH23-06 may constitute a separate zone from that in CH23-03 and 05, which remains open to depth. Click Image To View Full Size Figure 2. Drill hole cross-section through CH23-02, 03, 05 and 06. The recent drilling completed at the K6 target was the second phase of drilling at this target. Two drill holes, totalling 445m, were completed in 2019 and designed to test the magnetic and gravity signatures. Only slightly anomalous values were recorded in 2019, with the single best interval being 0.01% Cu over 5m. The significant improvement in copper grades in phase 2 illustrates how integrating the additional exploration techniques over the last three years has improved the understanding of the mineralizing system. On the project scale, the drill success at K6 highlights the potential in the remaining 11 targets. Throughout the project, the company has been actively conducting similar exploration across all targets as it did at K6. These programs have advanced many targets to near-drill stage.

DPH BIOLOGICALS BUILDS ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENT TO QUANTIFY FULL POTENTIAL OF BIOLOGICALS

DPH Biologicals

To instill confidence and foster innovation in the agricultural biologicals sector, DPH Biologicals announced the expansion of its science-first, data-verified approach with a multi-year effort to quantify the comprehensive value potential of biologicals. “DPH Bio has been committed to science that yields results from day one. Based on multi-year field research and through collaborations with our partners, we aim to provide customers a deeper understanding of the distinct value potential unlocked by biologicals,” said Mick Messman, President and CEO of DPH Bio, speaking at the 2024 Commodity Classic agricultural trade show in Houston that annually convenes thousands of growers. “Historically, return-on-investment has been measured by the cost to increase yield. However, our customers see the long-term value that biologicals deliver, such as improved soil health, water use efficiency, disease control, and plantability.” A review of 107 corn trials conducted over three years using TerraTrove SP-1 Classic revealed increased fertilizer efficiency in addition to average yield increase of 2.5 bushels per acre. “Although yield is an important metric, we believe it’s critical for growers to be able to measure the holistic value of biologicals in the field and across their entire business,” said Messman. “As we expand our portfolio and industry partnerships, we are pioneering the concept of ‘BioAgonomics’ to capture and maximize the full value proposition of biological solutions. As we further analyze the data, we are seeing some interesting trends based on management practices and soil conditions.” For example, in a multi-year study, SP-1 Classic averaged 6.5 more bushels per acre in high-yield, 220-bushel per acre corn in the Midwest. DPH Biologicals Introduces BioAgonomics™ to Redefine On-Farm Value Defined by DPH Bio as the branch of knowledge in agriculture focused on the connection between agronomic practices in crop production and the transfer and consumption of value uniquely unlocked by biologicals, BioAgonomics™ uses biologicals to create sustainable profitability and ingenuity across the supply chain, delivering the highest value in the field and for channel partners, including growers, ag retailers and advisors, product manufacturers and food companies. For instance, TerraTrove™ Residuce Complete delivers more than increased yield and fertilizer savings. As a comprehensive biodigester, Residuce accelerates the breakdown of crop residue, like corn stover and tough organic matter. A Michigan State University study revealed that corn stover contains 100 pounds of nitrogen (N), 50 pounds of phosphorus (P), and 210 pounds of potassium (K) an acre on a 200-bushell crop. In a recent field trial, Residuce delivered 19.7% degradation after a fall application. By leveraging these findings, Residuce can be calculated to provide 19.7 pounds of N, 9.85 pounds of P and 41.37 pounds of K, or more than $45 per acre in fertilizer savings. Furthermore, additional value can be quantified by accounting for factors, such as more uniform seedling emergence, reduced farm equipment wear and tear, reduction of the disease host, and improved plant standability, as well as the retention and conversion of carbon within the soil. Through collaborations with trusted advisors, including prominent researchers at University of Illinois, DPH Bio will continue to collect and evaluate data to calculate biologicals’ comprehensive value to growers in aspects beyond yield. “With advanced scientific research and on-farm trials, results can easily be seen in the field, but we aspire for more,” said Messman. “The pivotal convergence of biologicals, agronomy and economics holds the key for a triple bottom-line impact by improving crop production, land stewardship and rural livelihoods. Looking ahead, and in collaboration with our partners, our mission is to give growers an even clearer, comprehensive view of their investment in biologicals.” For more information, growers participating in Commodity Classic are invited to visit DPH Bio at Booth 6945 on the third floor of the George Brown Convention Center. In addition, the company plans a series of workshops, including a CropLife webinar on March 5th. # # # About DPH Biologicals DPH Biologicals, LLC attracts, develops and scales technologies improving broad market access and simplifying the grower experience with biologicals.

Silence Laboratories Raises $4.1M Funding to Enable Privacy Preserving Collaborative Computing

Silence Laboratories

In the modern age, large companies are wrestling to leverage their customers’ data to provide ever-better AI-enhanced experiences but a key barrier to leveraging this opportunity is mounting public concern around data privacy, as ever-greater data processing poses risks of data leaks by hackers and malicious insiders. Silence Laboratories is on a mission to create infrastructure to enable complex data collaborations between enterprises and entities, without any sensitive information being exposed to the other engaging parties. Silence Laboratories today announces it has raised an additional $4.1 million funding round led by Pi Ventures and Kira Studio, along with several prominent angel investors. Leveraging modern cryptography, the company already has one of the fastest distributed signature (authorization) libraries in production ( Silent Shard ), which has been audited by some of the best security auditing companies like Trail of Bits. These libraries have led to the establishment of strong partnerships with leading digital asset infrastructure and protocol companies like BitGo, MetaMask, EigenLayer, Biconomy, and EasyCrypto. Products on offer by the company include Silent Shard which allows enterprises and users to limit the risk of exposing sensitive private keys and allows advanced authorisation rules to be put in place. Additionally, the newly launched Silent Compute product allows different organisations to collaborate on processing information without needing to expose their secrets and data to third parties and enrich insights while maintaining compliance and trust. Both the products uses multi-party computation (MPC) as its core cryptographic primitives. Commenting on the announcement, Silence Laboratories CEO and founder Dr. Jay Prakash said: “In today's digital ecosystem, trust, and privacy are not merely options but imperatives for sustainable growth. With this new injection of funds, Silence Laboratories is poised to redefine privacy by enabling businesses to fully embrace the power of AI while rigorously protecting their most vital asset – customer trust. Our privacy-enhancing technologies assure that collaboration and innovation can flourish in an environment where the confidentiality and integrity of data are uncompromised.” With the market for privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) growing globally at a compound annual growth rate of 26.6%, there is growing demand for Silence Laboratories offering to provide mathematical guarantees for techno-legal expectations. This would allow companies to work together on processing data, without needing to share data with the other party - allowing more sectors to benefit from new technology, with less risk. Shubham Sandeep, Managing Director Pi Ventures, commented: "Secure data collaboration to enable privacy preserving compute is an ever growing problem especially in highly regulated domains such as finance and healthcare. This requires solutions based on zero trust cryptographic guarantees instead of relying on third party data vendors who are prone to security breaches. The MPC infrastructure developed by the world class team at Silence Laboratories is the fastest in the world, easily configurable, application agnostic and provides full control to the user. We are excited to double down on our investment as we have seen the fantastic progress of the company over the last 18 months." The funding will be used to scale the company’s tech & business teams and enrich the company’s robust R&D pipeline. Founded in 2021 by Dr. Jay Prakash (CEO), Dr. Andrei Bytes (CTO) and Dr. Tony Quek; the firm has also recently been expanding its global leadership team across cryptography, infrastructure business and engineering. “The Silence team is an amazing team with deep cryptography expertise and is working on a set of groundbreaking products in privacy and authentication infrastructure and I am really excited to support their journey. Privacy-preserving infrastructure combined with blockchain and fintech rails is going to be huge!” shared Anurag Arjun, from Kira Studio and Ex Co-founder of Polygon. About Silence Laboratories Started in 2021 by Dr. Jay Prakash (CEO) and Dr. Andrei Bytes (CTO), Silence Laboratories is a privacy tech company that enables enterprises to adopt privacy-enhancing technologies through a unique fusion of cryptography and security engineering.

Zodiac Gold Announces Positive Initial Phase II Drill Results, Including 9.14 m at 4.20 g/t Au and 10.20 m at 1.23 g/t Au, Including 2.81 m at 2.95 g/t Au

Zodiac Gold Inc.

Toronto, ON – TheNewswire - February 28, 2024 - Zodiac Gold Inc. (“ Zodiac Gold ” or the “ Company ”) (TSXV: ZAU) i s pleased to report positive initial results from its Phase II Drill Program consisting of assay results from three recently completed diamond drill holes at the Company’s Arthington Target. The Arthington Target is positioned within an 18.5 km long district-scale mineralization trend and is one of the five high-priority, multi-kilometer drill - ready targets situated within the 2,316 km 2 Todi gold project (the “ Todi Project ”) l ocated in the Republic of Liberia, West Africa. In 2022, the Company completed a 3,465m Phase I Drill Program targeting an 800m strike at Arthington which intersected multiple intervals of gold mineralization in 20 of 22 holes including the highest-grade interval drilled to date: AD007, which intersected 7.5 g/t over 9.65m from 87.35m. Phase II Drill Program Initial Results The Company is currently conducting a 2, 000m Phase II Drill Program at Arthington targeting Garang Base, Red Hill, & Deep Mine. Today, the Company is pleased to report assay results from an initial three drill holes (ADD23, ADD24, & ADD25) which successfully intercepted multiple intervals of shear zone-hosted gold mineralization enlarging the known mineralization footprint from Red Hill to 400 meters southeast towards the Garang Base target (See Figure-1). Click Image To View Full Size Figure-1: Map showing significant intercepts at Red Hill and Garang Base zones of the Arthington Target These three initial drill holes (see below) revealed shear-hosted gold mineralization with intercepts cutting through multiple shallowly dipping mineralized zones associated with shears across a 300m wide corridor of the Arthington Shear Zone. This extensive gold bearing zone spans at least 1, 000m along strike and reaches vertical depths of 140m, illustrating a substantial orogenic gold footprint along the prominent Todi Shear Zone system. Notable mineralized shear structures include intervals in hole ADD24, with 25. 9m averaging 2.10 g/t Au, including 9. 14m at 4.20 g/t Au, and 10. 20m at 1.23 g/t Au, including 2. 81m at 2.95 g/t Au. The continuity of mineralization is highlighted by three distinct intervals in hole ADD23, ADD24 and ADD25 which underscore the significant potential of the Arthington Target and the Todi Project overall. Management Commentary David Kol, President & CEO of Zodiac Gold, stated “These initial Phase II results are very positive and drilling to date has only scratched the surface of our vast land package. Arthington has delivered some significant gold intercepts thus far and with each drill hole, its potential continues to grow. We look forward to additional drill results from our ongoing Phase II program to further enhance the strike length and width at Arthington.” Highlights from the initial Phase II drill program include: Table 1: Significant Intercepts at the Arthington Target Table 2: Collar Information for the Reported Holes QA/QC Protocols and Sampling Procedures The drilling program at Arthington was conducted by a Fordia Eider 2000 diamond drill rig with HQ and NQ diameter core. Core recoveries were excellent throughout the program approaching 100%. Drill core was transported from the drill site to the Company’s exploration camp facility. After geological logging, the core was cut along the long axis by a diamond saw, with half being sampled and half retained. Core sampling was undertaken by Zodiac Gold’s Liberian exploration team, supervised by senior staff members of the Company. All core samples met the standards for adequate chain of custody without the opportunity for third party access from the field to the preparation laboratory in Monrovia, Liberia, and then onward to the SGS analytical laboratory in Ghana. Sample preparation was performed by Liberia Geochemical Services Inc. in Monrovia. The entire core sample was dried and then crushed to 70% passing -2 millimeters and a representative split was taken by riffle splitting. The 1, 000g split was then pulverized up to 85% passing -75 micron and the required pulp mass of ~ 200g was bagged and labelled for analysis; with the remainder being stored. Analysis was performed by SGS at their laboratory in Ghana by fire assay with atomic absorption finish with a 50g charge. In addition to the laboratory's quality control program, a rigorous quality assurance and quality control program was implemented by the Company involving the insertion of blanks, standards and duplicates to ensure reliable assay results. Laboratory standards and QA-QC are monitored by the Company. About Zodiac Gold Zodiac Gold, Inc.
