TNR Gold Corp highlights "very impressive" intercept from McEwen Los Azules Copper

TNR Gold Corp

TNR Gold Corp (TSX-V:TNR, OTC:TRRXF) Executive Chairman Kirill Klip speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London to speak about the latest results from the 2022/23 drill campaign at the Los Azules Copper Gold Project. Klip says that the campaign is yielding exceptional results, including what he calls a "very significant intercept" of 386 m of 0.66% Cu, including 196 m of 0.99% Cu. He highlights the project's backing from major players like Rio Tinto and European automaker Stellantis, which invested over $150 million. He also highlights the focus by Rob McEwen and his team at McEwen Copper on making the Project as green as possible in its design, which includes measures to reduce water usage, to reduce electricity consumption by 70%, and to cut emissions by half compared to previous PEA estimates made in 2017. Klip also touched on potential TNR Gold Los Azules Copper royalty valuation, mentioning that future drill holes demonstrating substantial copper values would further enhance royalty potential. He also reiterates TNR Gold's commitment to maximising shareholder value, as underscored by a share buyback program and a shareholder rights plan.

EV charging infrastructure stocks still "lingering at low valuations" - Solactive AG

HANetf Holdings Limited

Solactive AG Head of Research Konrad Sippel speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about two major developments from the world of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. He starts by highlighting Toyota's breakthrough announcement on solid-state batteries, projected for commercial use around 2027-2028. These batteries promise a game-changing 1,200km range worth of charge in just 10-minutes - a development that would bring EV charging close to the level of speed and convenience of traditional fossil fuel refilling. He goes on to say that the European Parliament has passed legislation this summer mandating EV fast charging along major highways. Sippel underlines the significance of this move in making EV charging akin to the convenience of petrol stations, allowing spontaneous long trips without extensive planning. By 2026, fast charging stations will be found at least every 60 km. He expresses hope that the two recent developments will help further convince the market of the permanence of the EV revolution, noting that EV charging infrastructure stocks are "still lingering at low valuations." Sippel also addresses synthetic gasoline's potential role, but he views it as a luxury option due to high production costs compared to electricity. He goes on to predict the market will continue to see increasing EV registrations, with the transition from early adopters to mainstream adoption potentially occurring when EVs reach 50% of the market.

By collaborating with one of the world's largest industrial equipment and heavy machinery manufacturers, we aim to enhance the safety, accuracy of object detection, and environmental awareness in their operations.
