Lightning Minerals completes due diligence for Bengal Mining acquisition

LIGHTNING MINERALS LTD

Lightning Minerals Ltd (ASX: L1M) managing director Alex Biggs sits down with Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to talk about the completion of due diligence for its transaction to acquire Bengal Mining Pty Ltd. Bengal, through its subsidiary Tigre Mineracao Ltda, holds option agreements over two lithium projects, Caraíbas and Sidrônio, in Brazil’s Lithium Valley district in Minas Gerais. Completion of due diligence is a crucial step towards finalising the proposed acquisition, pending shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on June 13, 2024. The company is set to start ground reconnaissance by contract geologists at the projects this week. Additionally, Biggs and exploration manager Jarrad Woodland are scheduled for a site visit in early June. The projects are 20 kilometres south of Latin Resources' Colina project in the prolific Lithium Valley. Multiple pegmatites have been identified at Caraíbas, with peak lithium rock chip assay results grading up to 0.53% Li2O. Significant tantalum, rubidium and caesium rock chip assay results have also been noted as positive exploration indicators. Strong aeromagnetic geophysical trends have been observed to correlate with regional mineralised trends. The projects are within the Salinas Formation, which hosts other significant lithium resources in the region. The proposed acquisition is based on resource milestones of 5 million, 10 million and 30 million tonnes, indicating substantial potential at both project and company levels. Biggs will also attend the Lithium Summit 2024 in Belo Horizonte. Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

Mammoth Resources internal review identifies key target for further exploration

Mammoth Resources Corp

Mammoth Resources Corp CEO Thomas Atkins joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the results of an internal study conducted by the company's geologists, which identified a target for further exploration at the Tenoriba gold-silver exploration property in Mexico. It's important to note that, in accordance with NI 43-101 standards, this target is conceptual in nature, and there is uncertainty whether further exploration will result in its delineation. The study delineated exploration targets for each of the three gold-silver mineralized areas at Tenoriba, spanning a four-kilometer east-west trend: Carneritos, Masuparia, and Moreno. Of particular interest is the potential for over 800,000 gold equivalent ounces in the shallow Oxide-Mixed horizon at Carneritos. This near-surface horizon presents an opportunity for delineation over two phases, with an initial program of approximately 59 drill holes at a depth of approximately 50 meters and a recommended drill spacing of 80 meters. Mammoth Resources Corp's immediate plans include obtaining quotes from drill contractors to assess the cost of the first phase of shallow drilling, which aims to delineate the initial 500,000 gold equivalent ounce inferred resource target at Carneritos. These efforts represent a significant step forward in the exploration and potential development of the Tenoriba property, highlighting Mammoth Resources Corp's commitment to unlocking the property's mineral potential.

Tesla’s Optimus Robot Could Hit The Market By End Of Next Year

MarketJar

Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP), a leader in the field of security-focused robotics, recently unveiled major strides in its operations, highlighting its dedication to transforming the security industry through innovative technology solutions. Knightscope's expansion efforts come at a time when the demand for advanced security solutions is on the rise. With evolving security threats and the need for proactive measures to mitigate risks, organizations are increasingly turning to autonomous technologies to enhance their security posture. The evolving landscape of robotics, led by companies like Elon Musk’s Tesla and its humanoid robot project, Optimus, has impacted companies in adjacent robotics categories such as security, in which Knightscope is a leading player. Optimus, is still undergoing development, but could potentially be available for sale by the end of next year. Numerous companies have also been exploring humanoid robots as a solution to potential labor shortages, particularly in industries like logistics, warehousing, retail, and manufacturing, where repetitive or hazardous tasks are common. Musk expressed optimism regarding the readiness of the Tesla robot, suggesting that it might be capable of performing factory tasks by the end of this year. The concept of humanoid robots has been in the works for several years, with notable developments from companies such as Japan's Honda and Hyundai Motor's Boston Dynamics. More recently, Figure AI, a startup supported by Microsoft and Nvidia, announced a partnership with BMW to deploy humanoid robots in the automaker's U.S. facilities. Despite some Wall Street skepticism, Musk has indicated that robot sales could become a significant aspect of Tesla's business, potentially surpassing other segments like car manufacturing. Knightscope Expands Operations With New Deployments And Contract Wins In the case of Knightscope, it has leveraged four key technologies (autonomy, robotics, artificial intelligence, and EV technology) to better equip both domestic law enforcement and private businesses. Since deploying its first Autonomous Security Robot (ASR) in May 2022, Knightscope has secured dozens of contracts across the US including a $1.2 million inventory replenishment order for its K1 Call Boxes, 2 and a $1.25 million contract with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, for 145 devices. On April 30, Knightscope announced the deployment of 37 K1 Blue Light Towers at Rio Hondo College in California. Emergency communications play a vital role in campus safety by providing reliable, one-touch access to services such as police, fire and EMS. Those on campus can utilize the new Blue Light Towers in times of danger, personal crisis, medical emergencies, to report suspicious behavior or activities, or for accidents. The company's success in winning these contracts can be attributed to its proven track record of delivering effective security solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client. By offering a range of services, including patrol, surveillance, and incident response, Knightscope ensures comprehensive coverage and peace of mind for its clients. As Knightscope continues to expand its footprint and attract new clients, the company remains dedicated to its mission of making the world a safer place. By leveraging the power of automation and artificial intelligence, Knightscope is revolutionizing security operations and setting new standards for safety and protection. In April, Knightscope reported revenue of $12.8 million for 2023, marking a 128% increase year-over-year. Net revenue from services increased by approximately $2 million to $7.2 million while net revenue from product sales increased by $5.2 million to $5.6 million in 2023. Revenue growth is driven primarily by full-year sales of Emergency Communication Devices, which were integrated into our product lines after the acquisition of CASE Emergency Management Systems.

Fathom Nickel Reports Promising Drill Results from Gochager Lake Project

Fathom Nickel Inc

Fathom Nickel CEO Ian Fraser joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting results from the company's recent drilling program at the Gochager Lake Project. The Q1/Q2-24 drill campaign involved seven drill holes, covering a total of 2,656 meters, as part of a broader program where 16 holes were drilled, totaling 5,543 meters. Fraser reported that the company has now defined a mineralized gabbro unit containing interstitial disseminated magmatic pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and chalcopyrite. This mineralization extends over a northeast-southwest strike of approximately 300 meters and a vertical extent exceeding 400 meters. Importantly, the Gochager Lake deposit remains open for expansion in multiple directions and at depth, offering significant potential for future exploration and development. The company believes that the disseminated and massive sulphides identified in the drilling are related to a common magmatic source. This source may have injected sulphides as a separate pulse from a larger, yet undiscovered magma chamber. These sulphide-rich zones consistently align with downhole Borehole Electromagnetic (BHEM) conductors occurring within the mineralized gabbro unit. Fathom is particularly encouraged by the presence of semi-massive to massive high-grade sulphide veins, which contain up to 3.25% nickel (Ni). These high-grade intersections are positive indicators that the exploration efforts are nearing the identification of the late-phase magmatic source. Fraser emphasized that these findings underscore the potential of the Gochager Lake Project. The presence of high-grade nickel sulphide veins within the broader mineralized zone suggests a robust system with significant exploration upside. The company plans to continue its systematic exploration approach, including additional drilling and geophysical surveys, to further delineate and expand the known mineralization.

Terra Balcanica Updates on Bosnia Drilling and Saskatchewan Uranium Projects

Terra Balcanica Resources

Terra Balcanica Resources CEO Aleksander Miskovic joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the Phase I and II exploration drilling conducted within the Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The company completed approximately 2,200 meters of drilling, focusing on a shallow, high-grade, silver-dominated, intermediate sulfidation polymetallic vein system at the Chumavichi locality. The maiden drillhole at Chumavichi Ridge yielded promising results, with an interception of 824.2 grams per tonne (g/t) of silver equivalent (AgEq) over 4.0 meters from a depth of 29 meters, including 1,634.4 g/t AgEq over 2.0 meters. Another drillhole at Chumavichi Ridge intercepted 816.1 g/t AgEq over 2.0 meters. Additionally, the exploration efforts targeted the Brezani area, which revealed a surficial auriferous skarn overlaying an Ag-Pb-Zn-Au mineralized, northeast-shallowing structural system, situated above porphyry andesites stock from a depth of 550 meters. Drill testing of the 650-meter-wide conductivity high at Brezani resulted in intersections of 0.61 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold equivalent (AuEq) over 88.0 meters and 0.58 g/t AuEq over 28.6 meters. In uranium exploration, Terra Balcanica has acquired licences on the outskirts of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. Partnering with Fulcrum Metals PLC, they aim to explore a 600 square kilometre area targeting Beaver Lodge and basement-style uranium mineralisation. Initial steps include airborne geophysics and ground truthing, followed by drilling the ranked targets. Mišković expressed excitement about the potential for shear-hosted gold, VMS, nickel, and copper in the portfolio. The company anticipates a robust stream of news releases in the coming months, reflecting ongoing activities in Serbia and Bosnia, amidst favourable market conditions for gold and silver.
