FRX Innovations Inc. Announces Close of Non-Brokered Private Placement

FRX Innovations Inc

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – TheNewswire - March 1, 2024: FRX Innovations (TSXV:FRXI) (FSE:W2A.F) (OTC QB: FRXIF) (“FRX” or the “Company”), a leader in eco-friendly flame-retardant solutions (Nofia®), announces the close of a non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") of 18,906,266  units of the Company ("Units") at a price per Unit of $0.05 for aggregate gross proceeds of $945,313.   Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Unit Share") and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole such warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a 100% price premium of $0.10 at any time on or before the 24-month anniversary of the date of closing.     The funds will be used for general working capital, but in particular to provide the necessary resources to react to surging demand for Nofia ® to be manufactured at the Company’s Antwerp plant.   “FRX started 2024 with a strong order book which more than tripled through the end of February.  This year promises to be an exciting one for FRX as the January 1, 2025, deadline for the elimination of brominated flame retardants in the outside of consumer electronics applications is fast approaching.  We are in addition making rapid progress in automotive, and coated textiles as well as returning to growth in our traditional markets of PET fibers, foam and film,” said Marc Lebel FRX CEO.  “For instance, Nofia ® has recently been adopted by a major international chemical company in what we believe is EV charging cables, an application expected to grow at a rate of 16.7% 1, reaching US $3.9B 1 by 2030.  This new business is part of the orders received since the start of January and is an excellent example of the value-added properties possible with Nofia,” Lebel added.    Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.        1 Markets and Markets Research Report, September 2023   About FRX Innovations   FRX Innovations is a global manufacturing company, producing a family of environmentally sustainable flame-retardant products that serve several large markets spanning textiles, electronics, automotive, electric vehicles (EV) and medical devices.

Kangamoon

New Video Released On Greg Lindberg’s Legal Battles

LifeLong Lab

A new documentary has been released on Greg Lindberg’s legal battles. In what some commentators are saying is a “warning to every American who faces a politically-motivated prosecution,” a provocative new 50-minute documentary video has been released on Lindberg’s case. The video meticulously examines Lindberg’s business ventures and delves into North Carolina Insurance Commission Mike Causey’s alleged political motives for aggressively soliciting campaign donations from Lindberg while cooperating with the FBI. Lindberg, along with his legal team, presents their side of the story during the documentary.Watch Full Documentary Link Here: www.youtube.com “I just want the truth to come out. I want people to see the facts about who I am. I’ve done nothing wrong,” Lindberg states in the documentary. “I worked hard for 29 years to build my business. It’s extremely tough when someone in power tries to take away everything you’ve built.” Lindberg’s longtime attorney, Aaron Tobin, emphasizes in the video that Lindberg had largely remained under the radar throughout his career. Tobin attributes Lindberg’s success to persistence and hard work, highlighting his role in revitalizing numerous struggling businesses and providing employment to thousands. “What Causey did was not fair. This case started because of a political threat. He felt threatened by Lindberg,” Tobin comments. “He was a career loser in his chosen field, and he was going to do everything in his power to stay there.” Rachel Riley, who is a white-collar criminal defense attorney working on Lindberg’s case, adds in the documentary that Causey hired a friend to investigate Lindberg. “It seems pretty clear that Causey’s motivation was that he was headline-hungry,” says Riley. “He was going to find something to make a name for himself. Something he could hang his hat on and didn’t care whether it was right or wrong.” Lindberg’s lead bribery trial lawyer, Brandon McCarthy, criticizes the aggressive prosecution approach, asserting that Causey orchestrated the legal proceedings for his own political interests. “Causey is the bad guy. He orchestrated all of this out of something that wasn’t true and for his own political interest,” McCarthy claims. Lindberg faced a wrongful conviction in federal court in March 2020, leading to nearly two years behind bars at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Montgomery in Montgomery, Alabama. In June 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit overturned Lindberg’s conviction, citing errors in jury instructions and ordering a new trial. The retrial is scheduled for May of this year. Lindberg’s documentary is available in his YouTube Channel. For more information, visit GregLindberg.com or watch his latest podcast interview here. About Greg Lindberg Greg Lindberg is a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist and author. To learn more visit http://www.greglindberg.com or GregLindbergStory.com.

Today, this group of companies known as Global Growth is worth billions of dollars. His experiences as a leader and related challenges have inspired him to empower people to achieve optimal success through wellness, longevity and leadership.

Metis Announces Major New Collaborations Advancing Self-Sustainability

Metis

Ethereum Layer-2 roll-up platform Metis is excited to announce major collaborations with Chainlink Labs, EigenLayer, Renzo, Ethena, and DeFi Kingdoms. These collaborations will make Metis even stronger and more accessible—a superfluid self-sustaining blockchain—by enabling better user experiences and deeper liquidity. Many Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) networks offer low transaction costs and decent user experiences. But for long-term viability, an L2 also needs to be self-sustaining with deep liquidity. Metis already has the lowest transaction fees among its peers and will soon be the first Ethereum L2 with a decentralized sequencer, removing a centralized point of failure and protecting Metis’s future. As a part of these new developments, the Metis bridge interface will be upgraded to leverage Chainlink CCIP as the official cross-chain infrastructure to power the canonical Metis token bridge, with an initial focus on bridging leading stablecoins from Ethereum mainnet onto the Metis network. Over time, additional blockchain networks and tokens are expected to be supported to further accelerate the growth of the Metis ecosystem. Additional information on the migration will be provided in the near future. Over the next couple of months, EigenLayer will integrate Metis, creating a new liquid-restaking layer to the Metis ecosystem and dramatically boosting the network’s liquidity. Native and cross-chain restaking on Metis will come first, followed by dual restaking with $METIS, the Metis network token. Eigenlayer will also allow users to use $METIS to pay for EigenDA, EigenLayer’s hyperscale data-availability layer, with additional functionality for future actively validated services (AVSes) and roll-up services coming in mid-2024. Metis’s partnership with Renzo will bring native ETH restaking. Using Connext’s Restake from Anywhere module, users will be able to deposit Metis-native ETH into Renzo for ezETH without worrying about bridging and restaking manually. This will unlock easier access to DeFi within the Metis ecosystem. Ethena will also contribute a key component to Metis's new liquidity layer: the yield-bearing stablecoin USDe. Protected by LayerZero's security, USDe allows users to deposit traditional fiat, ETH, or liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and earn yield while minimizing risk through delta-neutral hedging. Bridging USDe from multiple blockchains to Metis will give users flexible investment options and nicely complement Metis's recent Liquid Staking Blitz. Ethena users can also bridge their USDe to Metis from multiple chains, all powered and secured by LayerZero. Lastly, after two years of development, DeFi Kingdoms (DFK) will deploy a new, eagerly awaited combat mode of their game on Metis, introducing player-versus-player (PvP) battles and tournaments in the Colosseum. At launch, this feature will live exclusively on Metis. On Avalanche, DFK generated up to $130 million daily at its peak, so the new game mode has significant potential to bring players and transaction volume to the Metis blockchain. Together, these five developments will give users compelling new reasons to choose the Metis ecosystem while eliminating more of the pain points associated with L2 networks. With new value propositions and substantial new incoming liquidity building on a successful foundation of low fees and increasing decentralization, Metis is well-positioned to be a superfluid, self-sustaining blockchain. About Metis Metis is an EVM-equivalent Ethereum Layer-2 protocol focused on bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3. Metis provides users with a secure, decentralized, scalable, and easy-to-use network. Contact Details Colin Landers colin@energentmedia.com Company Website https://www.metis.io/

Astral Resources delivers more high-grade gold

Astral Resources NL

Astral Resources NL (ASX:AAR) managing director Marc Ducler joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the latest high-grade results from Kamperman prospect at the Feysville Project in Western Australia. The company drilled three more reverse circulation holes at the prospect with all three striking gold up to 12.6 g/t. Of 16 holes drilled, 10 have returned high-grade gold, indicating the target has high potential to hold economic gold mineralisation. Assays are now pending from infill and extensional data. Ducler believes the latest results can contribute to the potential future high-grade satellite ore feed to the company’s broader Mandilla Gold Project development. “The recent Kamperman discovery within our Feysville Project continues to deliver for Astral Resources," Ducler said. "A three-hole RC program yielded high-grade assay results in every hole, further reinforcing the exceptional high-grade potential at Kamperman. “A follow-up 2,459 metre RC program was immediately completed with assay results expected later this quarter as we continue to unlock the potential of this growing prospect which we have increasing confidence can contribute potential future high-grade satellite ore feed to our broader Mandilla Gold Project development.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com
