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.

TNR Gold Corp.: Promising Drilling Results and Expansion Potential at Los Azules Copper Project

TNR Gold Corp

TNR Gold Corp Executive Chairman Kirill Klip joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share significant updates on the Los Azules copper, gold, and silver project in San Juan, Argentina, provided by McEwen Mining. TNR holds a 0.4% net smelter returns royalty on the project, which is held by McEwen Copper, a subsidiary of McEwen Mining. Klip informed Proactive about the assay results from the recently completed drill season at Los Azules. The primary objectives of this season's infill drilling campaign were to confirm the size and grade of the deposit as compared to the 2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) estimate and to upgrade the resource categories for the upcoming feasibility study. Additionally, the campaign aimed to test for extensions of mineralization beyond the current pit shell and explore the large property package for other mineralized areas. The company completed 70,000 meters of drilling, with notable highlights including intervals such as 349.0 meters of 0.77% copper (Cu), including 232.0 meters of 0.86% Cu, and 382.5 meters of 0.54% Cu, including 74.0 meters of 0.86% Cu. Moreover, the results indicate the potential for expansion, as evidenced by the intersection of a long interval of low-grade mineralization in the Primary Zone, which transitioned into higher-grade mineralization towards the end of the hole. Importantly, this hole is located entirely outside of the 2023 PEA base case mineable pit shell. These updates from the Los Azules project signify promising developments and highlight the potential for further growth and expansion, positioning TNR Gold Corp for future success in its mining ventures.

The company's debt facility has transitioned to a refinance facility without fixed payments or conversion, a move aimed at enhancing EQTEC’s balance sheet and share price. This restructuring was supported by Riverford, a sophisticated venture debt provider, indicating strong confidence in EQTEC’s post-pivot business model. The company also announced an equity placing to address its working capital needs, driven by increasing demand for their gasification solutions. This equity placement became necessary following a default by a previous funding subscriber, which adversely affected shareholder value. The placement, executed over a bank holiday weekend, aims to provide a financial buffer until the expected settlement with Logic by June 28th. Vander Linden elaborated on EQTEC’s strategic pivot from being a technology-focused project developer to a technology innovator and licensor. This strategic shift has resulted in steady month-on-month revenue growth since Q4 2023, with margins projected to increase over 30% in 2024. EQTEC is now concentrating on collaborations with large, well-funded clients and has ceased development activities involving significant liabilities. This shift allows the company to focus on its core strength of advancing its research and development (R&D) capabilities, positioning EQTEC as a leader in the gasification technology market. The strategic pivot has also enabled EQTEC to streamline its operations and focus on innovation, providing state-of-the-art gasification technology solutions to a broader market. This change is expected to yield higher returns and improve overall business sustainability. EQTEC's ability to adapt and innovate in response to market demands demonstrates its resilience and commitment to delivering value to shareholders and clients alike. With the restructuring of its debt facility, EQTEC aims to secure a stronger financial foundation, which will support its growth and innovation goals. The company’s focus on R&D and collaboration with substantial clients ensures it remains at the forefront of the gasification technology sector. This strategic realignment is set to drive EQTEC’s success and enhance its competitive edge in the market. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

Nature's Miracle Holding Inc. (NASDAQ: NMHI): Cultivating the Future of Vertical Farming

RazorPitch NMHI

The vertical farming industry is currently undergoing an unprecedented surge, which is being driven by the growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices and the necessity to address food security challenges. Notably, North America stands at the forefront of this growth, commanding close to 40% of the global market share. With a compound annual growth rate of 25.5% forecasted for the rest of the decade, the vertical farming market in North America presents significant opportunities for companies to thrive and innovate within this burgeoning industry. One such company seizing these opportunities is Nature's Miracle (NASDAQ: NMHI), which has positioned itself as an emerging technology leader in advanced vertical farming technology and solutions. Let's explore how Nature's Miracle is capitalizing on this exponential growth and driving innovation in the vertical farming sector Market Debut On March 11, 2024, Nature's Miracle (NASDAQ: NMHI) completed a significant business combination with Lakeshore Acquisition II Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). This merger marked the beginning of a new chapter for Nature's Miracle, with its securities starting to trade under the ticker symbol NMHI on the Nasdaq Global Market the following day. This event was celebrated with a ceremonial closing bell ringing at the Nasdaq Stock Market studio in Times Square, signifying the company's entry into the public market and the commencement of its new corporate identity. James Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NMHI, commented on this milestone, stating, “The successful closing of our business combination with Lakeshore marks a significant achievement for Nature’s Miracle. This new beginning on the Nasdaq Global Market under the NMHI ticker symbol is a testament to our commitment to growth and innovation in the vertical farming industry.” Partnerships Nature's Miracle has distinguished itself through its advanced vertical farming technology. The company offers a variety of products, including grow lights, hydroponic systems, and modular container farms branded as "MiracleTainer." These products are designed to optimize environmental conditions and increase production yields, making them highly appealing to indoor growers across North America. On March 20, 2024, Nature's Miracle announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Future Tech Inc. (FTC), an Ohio-based financial technology, data systems, and energy integrator company with access to 100 MW of electricity in Ohio. This partnership aims to integrate vertical farming facilities with AI computing data centers. James Li highlighted the significance of this collaboration: “A deal with FTC allows our company to partner with AI Computing Data Center providers to co-locate vertical farming facilities in places where there is favorable electricity supply. We should also be able to tap into the indoor growing markets in Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan.” Efinity Brand Smart Dehumidifier The most recent significant development from NMHI is the announcement today of its Efinity brand smart dehumidifier. This product marks Nature's Miracle as one of only three companies in the U.S. to offer a dehumidifier specifically designed for the indoor growing market. The efinity dehumidifier is available in two models: the 345-pint-per-day SJD-07EG and the 506-pint-per-day SJD-10EG. Both models adhere to the stringent R-32 environmentally friendly standards, which reduce the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and lower the global warming potential (GWP). These features make the efinity dehumidifier a critical addition to Nature's Miracle's product lineup, complementing its existing efinity LED lighting business and creating cross-sell opportunities. James Li emphasized the importance of the efinity dehumidifier in enhancing the company's revenue and market position: “The addition of the efinity dehumidifier will enhance both our topline growth and margin expansion. In addition, Nature’s Miracle can offer a full range of indoor growing products, including the industry-leading efinity grow light, MiracleTainer container farm system, efinity dehumidifier, and growing mediums including Dutch coco and Dutch wool. With indoor farming continuing on its upward trajectory, Nature’s Miracle will continue to enhance its position as a one-stop shopping provider of technology, products, and solutions for the industry.” Market Potential The global dehumidifier market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% from 2023 to 2030, presenting a substantial opportunity for NMHI to capitalize on its new product offering. The company anticipates that the efinity dehumidifier will generate over $20 million in annual revenue, tapping into the $500 million industrial dehumidifier market in the U.S. Future Prospects NMHI’s strategic approach and innovative technology position it well for continued growth. The company’s portfolio, which includes grow lights, hydroponic systems, and modular container farms, is designed to meet the diverse needs of the indoor growing industry. The company's recent MOU with Future Tech Inc. and the launch of the efinity dehumidifier underscore its commitment to expanding its market presence and product offerings. Furthermore, NMHI has been proactive in exploring new opportunities and partnerships. On April 25, 2024, the company announced the successful manufacturing and shipment of its first two customized container farms in its proprietary "MiracleTainer" series to Growterra, LLC, an Ohio-based vertical farming company. These modular indoor farming containers are equipped to monitor and optimize environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and nutrient levels to increase production yields over traditional farming methods. James Li commented on this development, saying, “Nature’s Miracle’s container-leading farm solutions provide operating efficiency to vertical farm operators by significantly reducing the initial capital expenditure, resulting in sustainable profitability to fuel the economics of the vertical farming industry in the U.S. As a leader in designing and sourcing products for the controlled environment within the agriculture industry, we continue to make progress within the research and development of our MiracleTainer series of products.” Conclusion Nature's Miracle Holding Inc. (NASDAQ: NMHI) has shown remarkable growth and innovation in the vertical farming industry. From its business combination with Lakeshore Acquisition II Corp. to the launch of its efinity brand smart dehumidifier, the company continues to lead the way in providing advanced technology and solutions for indoor agriculture. With a strong management team and a robust product portfolio, Nature's Miracle is well-positioned to enhance its market share and drive the future of indoor farming. Disclaimers: RazorPitch Inc.

Chariot Limited Reports Positive Results from OBA-1 Well Drilling in Morocco

Chariot Ltd

Chariot Limited Technical Director Duncan Wallace joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share the results from the drilling of the OBA-1 well on the Dartois prospect, the second well in a two-well drilling campaign, in the Loukos Onshore licence in Morocco. The OBA-1 well was drilled safely and efficiently, on time and within budget, to a final measured depth of 901 meters through the target reservoirs. Wallace explained that the comprehensive evaluation of the well data, including wireline logs, cuttings, and gas data, has led to a preliminary interpretation confirming the presence of reservoirs over an interval of approximately 200 meters in gross thickness. This corresponds to the pre-drill targets. Within this interval, an approximate 70-meter gross interval of primary interest has been identified, containing elevated resistivities coinciding with elevated mud gas readings, indicating potential gas pays. No water-bearing reservoirs were identified. Further post-drill analysis will be conducted in preparation for well flow testing, which will determine the well's productivity and the gas resource potential of the discovery. The well will now be suspended to allow for future rigless flow testing operations and potential use as a producer well. The rig will then be demobilized. Wallace also shared that Chariot is looking forward to an offshore drilling campaign planned for Q3 2024 on the Anchois gas field, in partnership with Energean. This campaign is expected to further bolster Chariot's position in the energy sector and expand its portfolio of gas projects. In conclusion, the successful drilling and preliminary positive results from the OBA-1 well represent a significant milestone for Chariot Limited. The company remains committed to advancing its exploration and development activities in Morocco and is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for natural gas in the region. With the upcoming offshore drilling campaign, Chariot aims to further enhance its resource base and deliver value to its shareholders.
