Stellar Resources targets leadership in tin production amid global supply crunch

Stellar Resources Ltd

Stellar Resources Ltd (ASX:SRZ) executive chairman and CEO Simon Taylor joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the company’s ambitions to become Australia's next tin producer, leveraging the Heemskirk Tin Project in Tasmania, renowned as the highest-grade undeveloped tin site in Australia and ranking third globally. The 2019 scoping study underscored the project's robust economics, with ongoing updates to enhance the mineral resources estimate. Heemskirk boasts a resource estimate of 7.48 million tonnes at 1.04% tin, while the Severn deposit, the project’s largest, shows promising expansion potential. Recent infill drilling at Severn yielded impressive results, including 36.6 metres at 1.07% tin. Additionally, the nearby St Dizier Satellite Project adds to Stellar’s tin portfolio with an indicated mineral resource estimate. Stellar is poised for growth, capitalising on a global tin supply shortage, with the metal's demand set to soar due to its essential role in electronics, renewable energy, and new technologies. The company anticipates that updated economic studies will reflect improved metrics and a higher proportion of resources in the indicated category, possibly lowering initial capital costs. With global tin production facing uncertainties, Stellar strategically placed to address the market’s deficit, especially given tin’s pivotal role in the technology and green sectors.

Farm Forward Investigation Reveals America’s First “Certified Regenerative Dairy Farm” Alexandre Farm Abuses and Neglects Animals

Farm Forward

In an extensive investigation released today, Farm Forward revealed that Alexandre Family Farm —a famous, widely endorsed organic dairy farm in California that sells at Whole Foods and other major grocery chains—routinely abuses and neglects its animals, sells diseased animals for human consumption, and pollutes the environment. Despite clear evidence of abuse provided by whistleblowers, the farm was certified “organic” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and as “Humane” by the independent nonprofit Certified Humane® program. The full report can be read at www.farmforward.com. Among the findings: A cow dragged by a skid loader more than 50 yards across concrete and gravel; Dozens of cows being trampled to death; Use of a.22 rifle to kill about 80 heifers experiencing trouble with calving; A cow’s clogged teat cut off with a rusty knife with no pain management; and Animals’ body parts left decomposing on the land, possibly contaminating the local waterways. Portions of the report were included in a story released today by The Atlantic that corroborated many of Farm Forward’s findings. Alexandre Family Farm has garnered national attention after becoming one of the first certified regenerative dairy farms in 2021. Alexandre has been featured on the Today Show, Food Network’s Guy’s All-American Road Trip, and in Forbes and the New York Times. “At a time when millions of Americans are turning away from cows’ milk, companies like Alexandre and retailers like Whole Foods are lying to the public to try and reverse the trend and protect their profits,” said Farm Forward Executive Director Andrew deCoriolis. “Dairy companies humanewash their business just like the big oil companies try to greenwash theirs. It’s a marketing spin, it’s not real change.” “Unfortunately, this investigation reveals a larger problem: organic and humane labels on meat or dairy cannot be trusted,” deCoriolis said. “Even one of the country’s most prominent and celebrated organic farms is using the same abusive and polluting agricultural practices as factory farms. Federal regulators upheld Alexandre Family Farm's organic designation even after they were given evidence that the farm was abusing animals. How many more ‘organic’ farms are out there raking in profits based on a USDA-endorsed lie?” Alexandre Family Farm touts several “ key differentiators ” that the company claims make it a better choice for dairy products, including that the way they farm is better for the cows. However, Farm Forward’s investigation revealed systematic abuse and neglect driven from the top of the company. And while Alexandre continues to profit from selling diseased and injured animals, consumers are paying a premium at Whole Foods and other groceries in support of this fraudulent vision of healthy animals and a livable climate. The investigation’s findings not only highlight violations of basic humane treatment, but also many violations of the certifications that Alexandre uses to market their products. A failure of this magnitude on the part of certification schemes like the USDA and Certified Humane calls into question whether industrial dairy farming can ever be truly compatible with a high ethical standard of animal treatment and environmental sustainability. Farm Forward is calling on Alexandre Family Farm to change its practices and its abuse of animals immediately, and is asking retailers like Whole Foods and other companies to stop purchasing Alexandre dairy and pledge to reject similar efforts at humanewashing. Farm Forward is also calling on the USDA and Certified Humane to withdraw their certifications of Alexandre Dairy and pledge to reform their internal practices to prevent humanewashing companies from gaining legitimacy through their certifications in the future. “We hope that the Alexandres, responsible retailers like Whole Foods, certifying organizations, and government regulators can all come together to fix what is broken in our agricultural system,” deCoriolis said. “Right now, there are structural problems in the dairy industry that incentivize animal abuse. We need to change that.” Concerned consumers can support Farm Forward’s push for change by signing up to join its campaign. Farm Forward also asks conscientious consumers to consider rejecting dairy products altogether. “If systemic animal mistreatment is happening at the leading higher welfare dairy, what is happening at all of the rest?” asked deCoriolis. “The only way to avoid regularly participating in these abusive practices is to opt out of dairy products altogether. Consumers are increasingly selecting plant-based dairy and could do so even more often. Consumers can also join us in pushing the agricultural sector and the federal government to do better.” ### Farm Forward is a team of strategists, campaigners, and thought leaders guiding the movement to change the way our world eats and farms.

Game-Changing Tumor Freezing Technology Has The Potential To Offer Women First-Ever Minimally Invasive Alternative To Breast Lumpectomy Surgery

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga IceCure Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICCM), which is set to submit results from the largest cryoablation study of its kind to the FDA, may set a new standard of care for early-stage breast cancer in women who elect not to have surgery. This could be a game-changer for the medical community and IceCure alike. When it comes to the early onset of breast cancer, the typical treatment protocol is for women to undergo a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy, hormone or radiation therapy. The lumpectomy involves removing the tumor and some healthy tissue around it surgically in a hospital operating room. It requires heavy sedation, is often painful and has a long recovery time. While tens of thousands of lumpectomies are performed annually in the U.S., it is not a perfect solution. In about 20% of cases, a second surgical procedure known as a re-excision is required to get rid of lingering cancer cells. Some tumors are difficult to spot or feel which makes them hard to locate during the surgery and thus follow-up surgeries are often required. Re-excision can not only be costly, it adds to the recovery time and weighs on the patient’s mental health. Some women, concerned about their future, opt at that point for a mastectomy. Freezing Tumors May Be The Answer With about 280,000 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer each year, and around 340,000 total cases, finding better alternatives is front and center for many healthcare providers, drug companies and biotechs including IceCure Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICCM). IceCure is expanding the use of ProSense®, an advanced liquid-nitrogen-based cryoablation therapy for the treatment of tumors (benign and cancerous) by freezing, with the primary focus areas being breast, kidney, bone and lung cancer. Cryoablation is a potentially attractive option for treating tumors because it is minimally invasive and has little pain associated with it. Tumors can be seen clearly by using imaging modalities like ultrasound or computerized tomography (CT), accurately destroying diseased tissue within the tumor zone. Cryoablation reduces surgery-related complications, downtime for the patient and economic burden to the insurer and the medical provider, as well as reducing the need for secondary lumpectomy in breast cancer. IceCure likens its ProSense procedure for breast tumors to that of going to the dentist, with no scarring or general anesthesia required. Rather, IceCure relies on lidocaine used locally so there is no need to go to a hospital or stay overnight to recover, all of which reduces costs and speeds up recovery. Unlike lumpectomies, cryoablation does not involve the excision of breast tissue, thereby eliminating many of the adverse cosmetic effects of tumor excision as well. Some researchers have even called cryoablation the “ultimate esthetic solution for breast cancer” because it reduces the need for pre-emptive or corrective surgical procedures to maintain or restore breast volume, contour and symmetry. For all of those reasons, breast cancer cryoablation has emerged as a possible alternative to lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer over the past decade. Promising Topline Results IceCure recently announced positive topline results from its ICE3 study, which it says is the largest controlled multicenter clinical trial ever performed in the U.S. for liquid nitrogen (LN2) based cryoablation of low-risk, early-stage malignant breast tumors, following the five-year follow-up evaluation of the ICE3 study's last patient. In the ICE3 study, 96.39% of patients (187 out of 194 patients) were local recurrence-free with no significant device-related adverse events or complications reported. Based on those topline results, the company said ProSense has the potential to be a safe and effective alternative to lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. The company says it is on track to submit the full data set and results to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing clearance any day now, and Prosense is already approved for breast cancer in other territories like Europe. The breast cancer market size is significant, and was valued at $31.89 billion in 2022 and is forecast to hit $70.53 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.43% over 2023-2030. The tumor ablation market is expected to reach $2.4 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 13.2% from now until then. "We are very pleased with this topline outcome and believe these results demonstrate a highly favorable safety and efficacy profile that positions ProSense® as a desirable alternative to lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer," said Eyal Shamir, Chief Executive Officer of IceCure. "While the FDA evaluates the data, we are optimistic its upcoming decision will give women in the U.S. the same access as those who are already benefiting from ProSense® in other countries,” he said. ProSense has regulatory approval in 15 countries for a broad range of indications including in Europe, Brazil, Canada and China. Incidents of breast cancer are increasing around the world, with many people facing invasive and time-consuming procedures. While lumpectomies will continue to be necessary sometimes, companies like IceCure may be giving patients an alternative way to fight this disease. With full data being submitted to the FDA any day now, if approved it could prove to be game-changing for IceCure and women across America diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.

Learn The Key Differences Between Octoblock and XRP

Octoblock

By Simon Frasier Cryptocurrencies are becoming a significant pillar of the digital economy with a variety of platforms and functions that are accessible to people and investors all over the world. In this article, we go into details of two major cryptocurrencies, the Octoblock and XRP, with two different approaches and ecosystems. Understanding the differences between these two innovative forces will give investors a perception of the digital asset world, which is quite dynamic, and will help to make better decisions. What is Ripple (XRP)? Ripple is a peer-to-peer ecosystem with a differentiated ledger (a system of gateways or gates), which, unlike Bitcoin, does not use blockchain technology. At the same time, the Ripple cryptocurrency is in many ways similar to Bitcoin - it is a decentralized virtual architecture, the presence of an intra-system coin. XRP is its native cryptocurrency, and the goal of the project is to create a global network for the exchange of digital assets. According to the developers, the project was created as a kind of addition to Bitcoin, but not as a competitor. The fundamental goal is to create a global network within which clients can exchange digital assets. At the same time, the task is to increase processing speed and throughput capabilities while reducing commission fees. In addition, within the framework of XRP, the virtual structure RippleNet operates, uniting transaction providers, banking structures, and corporations. Finances sent on this network are tracked from anywhere on the planet, and an individual interface has been developed for each category of users, allowing them to solve many problems. What is Octoblock? Octoblock stands out as an innovative force, skillfully merging Game-Fi mechanics with DeFi fundamentals to redefine the landscape of decentralized finance. Positioned within the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem, Octoblock offers a multifaceted platform that pioneers engaging sweepstakes for tangible rewards, elevates yield farming with unique strategies, enables seamless cross-chain swaps for asset management across ecosystems, introduces groundbreaking Crowd Funded Yield Farming (cFyF) for enhanced returns and governance, and integrates charitable trust accounts for impactful contributions to societal causes. Technology & Supply Dynamics Octoblock and XRP are two methods of blockchain technology which are different from each other. Octoblock uses Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which majorly puts emphasis on energy efficiency and security. In contrast, Ripple makes use of Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm (RPCA), recognized for its ability to enable instant settlements and high throughput. These technological variants impact issues like transaction speed, scalability and energy consumption. The native tokens Octoblock and XRP, respectively, represent different tokenomics and supply dynamics. OCTO, Octoblock’s utility token, is the backbone of governance and participation in the ecosystem. Unlike XRP which has a predetermined total number of tokens, with Ripple Labs having a substantial amount of them. Understanding the tokenomics of every currency enables investors to see factors such as scarcity, inflationary pressures, and utility of each token in its own ecosystem. Community Engagement Community involvement and adoption trends instigate a different strategy for Octoblock and XRP. The Octoblock’s community development efforts are highlighted by the introduction of incentives, educational campaigns, and decentralized governance. In Ripple, the XRP token is different as it targets financial institutions and enterprises, which aims to reach widespread adoption in cross-border payment solutions. These strategies ultimately determine the market sentiment, the user base growth, and the ecosystem development. Other Major Differences between Octoblock and XRP The regulatory environment plays a pivotal role in the development of Octoblock and XRP. As a part of the Octoblock network, we adhere to and regulate the current regulatory framework, always putting user protection first. On the flipside, Ripple has been confronted with regulatory uncertainty and lawsuits which have resulted in the distortion of market dynamics and investor sentiment. Being aware of the regulatory aspects helps to identify the risks and the long-term sustainability for the cryptocurrency market.On the other hand, Investors will have to take into account different factors, as well as risks, when making up their mind about the merits of Octoblock and XRP. Such capabilities encompass technological ability, compliance with regulations, market demand, tokenomics, community support, and competitive positioning. Balancing expected returns with risk management tactics is vital for ensuring a more informed and aligned investing process with the investor's financial goals. At The End In conclusion, it is very clear that there are various cryptocurrencies around the world, and by looking at Octoblock and XRP, we can see how different they can be. Every platform has its distinct features, functionality and proposition that help the segment the market and address specific user requirements. The mentality of technology, tokenomics, community engagement, regulatory compliance, and investment considerations is the key to understanding the cryptocurrency ecosystem. This allows stakeholders to navigate the ecosystem in a more effective manner and to make decisions that are in line with their objectives.
