Torque Metals expands lithium and gold footprint

TORQUE METALS LIMITED

Torque Metals Ltd (ASX:TOR) MD Cristian Moreno tells Proactive the company is eagerly awaiting the results of an inaugural diamond drilling campaign at the New Dawn Lithium Project in the Goldfields of Western Australia, where the company has been testing known pegmatite bodies for spodumene (hard rock lithium) and tantalum. TOR has already doubled down on the project area, acquiring three new tenements nearby – two adjacent to the Paris Gold Project and one with lithium potential along strike from the existing New Dawn Project. The company believes the latter tenement is prospective for lithium-caesium-tantalum or LCT pegmatites, the source of some 44% of all hard rock lithium minerals. “With a strong balance sheet, Torque Metals is poised to maintain drilling momentum to fully understand the entire lithium and tantalum endowment at New Dawn,” Moreno said. “Consistent with the company’s strategic approach to regional consolidation, actively monitoring the region for new opportunities, we also announce an agreement to acquire nearby tenements that align with our Paris and New Dawn projects. “This expansion enhances our portfolio and strengthens our regional presence.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

Andrew Brown AKA Doctor Troller Becomes Top 3 Richest NFT Artist With Net Worth Of £280 Million GBP

Doctor Troller

Doctor Troller's Net Worth, Bio, Wiki: How Much The NFT Artist Made From Crypto Art Who is Doctor Troller? Chelsea-based digital artist "Doctor Troller" is the alter ego of a creative street troller and prankster borne from the streets of London. Doctor Troller is currently one of the world's top 3 richest NFT artists, with a net worth valued at £280 million GBP in 2023. The crypto artist made headlines in April 2021 when he sold £20,000 GBP worth of NFTs in 20 seconds after launching his digital artwork online. What's Doctor Troller's Real Name? Doctor Troller's real name is Andrew Brown. Doctor Troller's Bio & Background Born and raised in London, digital artist and prankster Andrew "Doctor Troller" Brown is known for his disruptive visual and multimedia art style. Based in Chelsea, his inflammatory videos and surreal digital art pieces are designed to ignite controversy and spark debate. A troller from birth, the artist had a strong affinity for art as a child. Although he didn't draw or paint, his dyslexia drove him to innovate beyond traditional art forms, bridging art and body together. Doctor Troller has described his creative drive as "a passion of expression through physical action to trigger controversy" - in other words, he creates controversial art specifically to enjoy its reactions. Doctor Troller's Net Worth Doctor Troller's net worth rose to £200 million GBP in 2021 due to the boom in NFT (Non-Fungible Token) popularity. Although it isn't known exactly how much Doctor Troller was making before, we know that his source of wealth stems primarily from being an avid Cryptocurrency investor and NFT artist. Despite the recent drop in Bitcoin valuations, Doctor Troller has become one of the top 3 richest NFT artists in the world. Doctor Troller's Crypto Art Doctor Troller's NFT crypto art is typically sold via NFT marketplaces, like OpenSea. However, as the recent record-breaking £69.3 million GBP NFT sale for Beeple's crypto art at Christie's Auction House proves, an appetite for crypto art exists in the traditional art world. Doctor Troller's art pieces are usually conceived as a video before developing into varying forms of digital art. The digital artist often depicts real life interactions between himself and female characters in startling, controversial forms within unusual settings that provoke powerful emotional reactions and kindle debate. Often these forms are sexually provocative and explicit. Some of Doctor Troller's recent crypto art pieces include 'Booty Shot', a unique piece of risqué, tongue-in-cheek animated NFT art designed in London. This piece deconstructs its title: the urban slang and filmmaking term 'Booty Shot'. In typical self-portraiture style, 'Booty Shot' sees Doctor Troller himself appear in the image, as in the majority of his other NFT art works. Another recent piece is 'Lightzilla', a suggestive moving-image work presents a comic-book style scene featuring the artist voyeuristically spectating from behind an unknown woman as she — either in pain or pleasure — massages her leg calves with an electric gun. 'Leather's Babe' is another unique NFT art piece by Doctor Troller, is a controversial moving image artwork. As per Brown's typical surreal, inflammatory artistic style, the piece is intended to spark debate as to whether the woman in question is being empowered or degraded. Doctor Troller and Global Press Coverage Andrew "Doctor Troller" Brown has been featured in a number of leading world media websites and news publications including the Evening Standard, The Daily Mail and Yahoo! Finance, among others. Doctor Troller made headlines in May 2021 after an "experiment in human nature" led to thousands of pounds of art being stolen from his open-air 'Honest Gallery'. Brown, who set up the Honest Gallery in Soho's Berwick Street, left four works of art hanging beside a collection box asking art lovers to pay what they could for pieces they wanted. CCTV footage from the London venue showed the first piece was stolen within an hour and all four pieces were gone by the end of the afternoon. Even the gallery signs were taken. All proceeds from the box were set to go to charity: the organisers honoured the promise and made a donation. Brown also made headlines in April 2021 when he sold £20,000 GBP of NFTs in 20 seconds after launching his animated artwork online. He released his new collection of 40 works for £500 GBP each on doctortroller.com, with items from each pool getting snapped up in seconds. With bold stylised images and sexual caricatures, Brown has gained nearly 1m social media followers, with his net worth steadily growing in value week to week. His vibrant digital art pieces have almost 100k views apiece. Artist Andrew Brown said: "The future of art is digital, and the lockdown has certainly sped up the transition away from physical artworks. This has been a great experience for me and should open up new opportunities for artists to be able to monetise their content outside of the traditional gallery model." Doctor Troller and NFTs We all witnessed Bitcoin suddenly plunge 30% to near £30,000 GBP in May 2021,which was an all time low in the midst of a major sell-off in the cryptocurrency market. However, this significant drop in Bitcoin value did not make a dent in Doctor Troller's net worth. Even though Brown's exact net worth isn't known, the skyrocketing popularity of NFTs gives us a pretty good picture. Even before 2021, Doctor Troller was already a wealthy NFT and cryptocurrency investor. But now, with Brown's net worth valued at over £280million GBP, he has become one of the top 3 wealthiest NFT artists in existence. History in the making. Doctor Troller recently released his latest series of digital art videos entitled 'A Troller's Parable'.

AKORA Resources expects early cash flows from Bekisopa Iron Ore Project

AKORA Resources Limited

AKORA Resources Ltd (ASX: AKO) CEO Paul Bibby tells Proactive the company thinks it has hit significant iron mineralisation following its fourth drilling campaign at the Bekisopa Iron Ore Project in Madagascar. The campaign covered 904.9 metres across 65 drill holes, and AKO says iron mineralisation was particularly strong in the project's northern and central zones. The drilling took place on a 50-metre-by-50-metre grid and averaged an intercept of 18 metres along a 6-kilometre strike in the northern zone, and 9.2 metres in the central tenement. The campaign sets the stage for a scoping study to be released by the end of October. Bibby said: “We have defined a 194.7 million tonne (Mt) resource which when upgraded can produce a concentrate grade of over 67% Fe at Besikopa, which is a premium grade product in increasing demand in a decarbonising world. “Our ongoing priority over recent drill campaigns has been to better define the DSO tonnage and grade, within that resource, to aid production planning. “Bekisopa’s scoping study is due at the end of October and will define viable pathways to developing a low-cost DSO start-up operation to generate early cash flows.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

TRU Precious Metals results show high-grade copper and gold from summer prospecting at Golden Rose

TRU Precious Metals Corp.

TRU Precious Metals vice president of Exploration Paul Teniere joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has announced high-grade gold and copper results from a recent prospecting and rock grab sampling program conducted on its Golden Rose Project in Central Newfoundland. Teniere says the summer 2023 prospecting program was focused on the discovery of new gold and critical minerals targets at Golden Rose. These recent high-grade grab sample results continue to prove the rich gold and copper endowment along the highly prospective Cape Ray-Valentine Lake Shear Zones. The company says it discovered a copper-silver-rich target located less than 2 km north-northeast of the Mark's Pond target along the Cape Ray Shear Zone which returned between 0.53% to 7.33% Cu and 0.9 to 3.3 g/t silver from bedrock grab samples. Based on these high-grade copper results, this area is considered a promising critical minerals target for future exploration and may be similar to the Jacob's Pond target to the west. The next step is to continue to grow gold and critical minerals prospects at Golden Rose using innovative and cost-effective exploration, geophysical, and remote sensing techniques to produce several additional drill-ready targets beyond what is planned for Mark's Pond.

Sunstone Metals expands Limon footprint and identifies new zone

Sunstone Metals Ltd

Sunstone Metals Ltd (ASX:STM) MD Malcolm Norris tells Proactive the company has received further high-grade gold-silver assays from the Limon epithermal discovery at the Bramaderos Project in southern Ecuador, significantly expanding the known epithermal mineralisation and identifying a new area of mineralisation. The known epithermal mineralisation now occurs over a strike length of about 800 metres and is open in all directions. With this, Sunstone expects to be in a position to publish an exploration target later this quarter, demonstrating the potential for a substantial near-surface mineral resource. Norris said, “Limon is a significant discovery and it continues to grow with every round of drilling and assays. There is now abundant evidence to demonstrate that the orebody has every potential to support a starter pit opportunity for the large-tonnage Bramaderos porphyry development. “We intend to release an exploration target on the Limon epithermal system in this quarter and demonstrate potential for Bramaderos to deliver a global Tier 2 gold-copper-silver opportunity”.
