Helium One Global to move onto wireline program

Helium One Global Ltd

Helium One Global Ltd (AIM:HE1, OTCQB:HLOGF) CEO Lorna Blaisse speaks to Thomas Warner after the AIM-listed Tanzanian explorer released an update on drilling at the Tai-3 well. Blaisse explains the decision to pause drilling and declare TD, saying that the company's primary concern is preserving the integrity of the wellbore, avoiding further complications, and ensuring the safety of the operation. Blaisse also discusses the promising signs observed so far, particularly in terms of helium shows. The helium readings in the drilling mud have exceeded atmospheric levels, indicating the potential presence of significant helium reserves in the deeper intervals. While Blaser was cautious about defining success at this stage, she highlights that the next steps involve collecting downhole samples to determine the concentration and grade of helium within the reservoirs. The wireline program, including the collection of gas samples under reservoir conditions, will provide crucial insights into the potential helium reserves. The company aims to receive early preliminary results in the coming weeks. Despite the optimism, Blaisse notes that a full declaration of a discovery may take several months. Specialised laboratories outside of Tanzania will be involved in validating the results, with the international logistics process adding to the timeline. However, Helium One Global is committed to expediting the process and eagerly awaits the outcomes of their exploration. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

Futura Medical continues global expansion with Latin America announcement

Futura Medical PLC

Futura Medical PLC (AIM:FUM, OTC:FAMDF) CEO James Barder speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London after the pharmaceutical company announced another milestone in its global expansion efforts. Barder shares the news that the Futura has reached an agreement to expand its presence in Latin America. Initially, Futura Medical had been working with key markets in Mexico and Brazil, and their agreement with local partner M8 Pharmaceuticals confirmed their interest in expanding to the rest of Latin America. The deal follows others in markets around the world. Barder mentions that the company has received regulatory approval in Mexico and is preparing for its launch there, and they anticipate several more launches in the coming months. The company remains on track to execute up to 10 launches between now and the end of April. He acknowledges the frustration among shareholders due to the declining share price in recent months. He attributed this decline, in part, to macroeconomic factors and interest rate uncertainty. While the company is actively exploring ways to address this issue, Barder emphasises that the primary focus remains on product commercialisation and expansion. Despite the share price challenges, Barder says that Futura Medical maintains a robust balance sheet and is fully funded to support its ongoing growth initiatives.

Big and Growing Need for Senior Care: Empowering Family Caregivers to Get the Supportand Guidance They Deserve

YourUpdateTV

November marks National Family Caregivers Month, a time to bring attention to the challenges faced by those caring for aging parents. Recently, Tatyana Zlotsky, President of A Place for Mom (APFM), conducted a satellite media tour to share vital insights and tips for family caregivers navigating the world of senior care. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/dUjQA6H_26Y There is a big and growing need for senior care, as the number of seniors is rapidly increasing and is projected to reach over 80 million by 2040. Today, 41 million Americans are unpaid caregivers for seniors, most often the adult daughter or son of their aging parents. As the senior population grows, family caregivers face serious challenges. A Place for Mom issued its new State of Caregiving Survey, showing that an overwhelming majority or caregivers are physically, mentally, and financially at risk. 82% have had to make sacrifices to provide adequate care. Nearly all (96%) reported being emotionally drained, with more than half feeling this way often or all the time. And 75% who were employed prior to assuming the caregiver role said they have less time to focus on work or have had to quit their jobs altogether to provide care. “These findings reveal some of the hard truths being faced by caregivers as they struggle to care for their aging parents and loved ones,” said Zlotsky. “Navigating the process of finding the most suitable senior care is not easy. There are three important things to consider – care needs, costs, and lifestyle.” First is care needs. Zlotsky shared that as seniors face a variety of physical and mental challenges, they require more and more assistance with their Activities of Daily Living. A Place for Mom finds that nearly all seniors they work with need some daily support, and more than 40% need extra help associated with dementia. The second is costs. “Families need help to better understand senior living costs in their area and options on how to pay,” said Zlotsky. At A Place for Mom, two-thirds of the families they work with have shared that they do not feel prepared when it comes to senior care costs and need help to better understand options and how to pay. “Lastly, families want to find a place where their parents will feel right at home -- a warm environment that helps them experience joy and feel a sense of community,” said Zlotsky. “This is where amenities and activities play an important role in helping mom or dad with the transition.” A Place for Mom has a team of senior living advisors who help caregivers navigate this journey end to end, all at no cost to families. “We start with a simple but very important question: tell us about your mom, dad, aunt, or uncle,” said Zlotsky. The expert advisors then gather critical information ranging from mobility, medication, and bathing assistance to mom’s favorite meals and activities. They then match those needs with preferred options and budget in order to make personalized recommendations for home care or senior living options to best assist the family. For senior living specifically, A Place of Mom also serves as a concierge to help families set up tours, understand feedback, and support the moving process. Special benefits and resources for veterans and their families: There are more than 8 million veteran seniors in the U.S. And at A Place for Mom – the veteran community is critically important. In fact, more than 30% of the families A Place for Mom helps are veteran families. “Veterans and their spouses may qualify for the VA Aid & Attendance benefit to help pay for senior care,” said Zlotsky. However, A Place for Mom’s survey revealed that more than two-thirds of veteran families don’t know how to access this monetary benefit or even understand it. A Place for Mom expert advisors are knowledgeable about VA benefits for senior care and help families understand what benefits are available. Their advisors’ expertise has helped families secure more than $8 million in financial aid annually. To expand their impact and help more veteran seniors and their families, A Place for Mom is joining forces with USAA, the leading veterans organization for financial resources, with over 13M members.

Altech Batteries boosts CERENERGY output to 120 MW/h per year

Altech Batteries Ltd
