Avrupa Minerals planning aggressive drill program at Sesmarias copper-zinc-lead Project in Portugal

Avrupa Minerals Ltd

Avrupa Minerals CEO Paul Kuhn joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an overview of the company's ambitious plans for 2024, highlighting significant progress made in deposit definition work at the Sesmarias copper-zinc-lead Project in Portugal during 2023. Avrupa Minerals is now gearing up for an aggressive drilling program in the SES Central Zone, which is set to commence soon. The success of this drilling phase will play a crucial role in determining the company's path towards applying for a mining license, which is anticipated to occur in the first half of 2025. Additionally, Kuhn discussed the company's project in Kosovo. The project is located in the Vihanti-Pyhäsalmi VMS District in Central Finland and comprises two exploration permits covering known massive sulfide deposits (Kangasjärvi and Hallaperä), an application over a massive sulfide deposit (Rauhala), and an exploration permit covering a massive sulfide target (Kolima). While awaiting the issuance of the Kolima permit, the joint venture is conducting basic exploration work, reviewing historic core and geophysical data, and modeling SkyTEM data from the Kangasjärvi license. These efforts have identified an outstanding un-drilled target near the old Kangasjärvi Mine, and plans are in place for drilling at this target in 2024. Additionally, there are other SkyTEM anomalies that may warrant drilling following planned exploration activities during the upcoming field season. Overall, Avrupa Minerals is focused on advancing its projects in Portugal and Kosovo through aggressive exploration and drilling programs, with the aim of delineating significant mineral resources and ultimately advancing towards mining license applications.

Liberty Star Minerals Chief Geologist shares thoughts on drilling at Hay Mountain

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp

Liberty Star Minerals Chief Geologist James Bryce joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news regarding the drilling progress on the Hay Mountain property. Bryce outlined details about two holes drilled so far. Hole HM-117 was drilled at the center of the magnetic high and over the conductor identified by the ZTEM survey. The initial depth to bedrock on the drilling pad was 108', after which the drill encountered limestones of the Morita formation. The presence of Morita at this elevation suggested a faulting event, with a vertical offset of over 800'. To further investigate, the company decided to deepen the hole by an additional 500' and extend the overall program by 1000. Bryce also told Proactive hole HM-001 was located 0.6 miles east of hole HM-117. This hole was collared on Colina limestone outcrop displaying polymetallic leakage textures at the surface, indicating elevated levels of lead, zinc, molybdenum, and sometimes copper. Despite the collar of this hole being at a similar elevation as hole HM-117, it allowed the company to begin drilling approximately 1350' deeper into the stratigraphy compared to hole HM-117. At a depth of 420', the drill encountered the Horquilla Formation, known to host many copper deposits in the region. As the hole approached 1500', the company decided to deepen it by 1000' due to increasing alteration, the presence of minor sulfides, and extensive carbonate vein stockworks. Despite budget limitations, the project has successfully de-risked, laying groundwork for future exploration. Bryce anticipates refining the drill program with a larger budget based on results. These updates provide valuable insights into Liberty Star's exploration efforts and the geological features encountered during drilling on the Hay Mountain property.

Nevada Lithium’s Bonnie Claire 2nd core hole from 2023 shows 4,154 ppm Lithium

Nevada Lithium Resources Inc

Nevada Lithium CEO Stephen Rentschler joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share the core assay results for the second diamond drill hole, BC2303C, from the 2023 drill program at the Bonnie Claire lithium project in Nevada. This hole, drilled to a depth of 2,500 feet (762 meters), intersected high-grade lithium mineralization, with a notable 680-foot (207-meter) intercept—the thickest +4,000 ppm lithium zone drilled to date. Rentschler emphasized that this intercept represents a significant discovery, as it confirms the presence of a high-grade mineralized zone exceeding +3,000 ppm lithium, with indications of further thickening toward the east. Importantly, the mineralized zone remains open in multiple directions, suggesting the potential for further expansion. Furthermore, Rentschler noted that while the five holes drilled through this mineralized zone are within the planned PFS (Pre-Feasibility Study) resource upgrade area, much of the high-grade zone extends beyond the current resource limits. This indicates the potential for a positive impact on the PFS, prompting a re-analysis of the 2024 work plan to maximize the benefit of these latest assay results. Overall, the successful drilling results underscore the significant potential of the Bonnie Claire lithium project, positioning Nevada Lithium for further exploration and resource expansion efforts to capitalize on the identified high-grade mineralization.

Nevis Brands reported revenues of $671,000 for the year, with Cost of Goods Sold amounting to $278,604. For the fourth quarter alone, Nevis generated revenues of $395,876, primarily derived from royalties received from Licensees in five states, while Cost of Goods Sold stood at $134,223. Kueber expressed satisfaction with the conclusion of the fiscal year, highlighting the significant expenses and charges incurred during the transition from Pascal Biosciences Inc., the company's previous business entity. Notably, Nevis Brands achieved growth in revenues and managed to reduce costs of goods sold in the fourth quarter, signalling positive momentum in its operations. Furthermore, Kueber emphasized the company's ongoing efforts to expand its revenue streams, particularly in states where Nevis is currently operating. He expressed excitement about the additional revenues expected from licensees that have been secured but have yet to contribute to revenues. Notably, revenues for the fourth quarter did not include contributions from Nevada and California, both of which are now revenue-generating states. Additionally, Michigan and Missouri are anticipated to contribute to revenues in 2024, further bolstering Nevis Brands' financial performance. Looking ahead, Nevis Brands sees significant growth opportunities for its major brand, not only through expansion into new markets but also through the introduction of new products. Kueber emphasized the potential for diversification beyond beverages into other edible products, underscoring the company's commitment to innovation and market expansion. In summary, Nevis Brands' financial results for fiscal year 2023 and the fourth quarter reflect steady progress and positive momentum in its operations. With a strategic focus on revenue growth and product diversification, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the cannabis market and deliver value to its shareholders.

Ondine Biomedical achieves milestone with NHS trust's adoption of Steriwave

Ondine Biomedical Inc

Ondine Biomedical Inc Vice President of Sales & Marketing Matt Ross joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion after the company sealed its first commercial deal with an NHS trust, starting with the Pontefract and Pinderfields hospitals. This follows a successful 500-patient elective hip and knee surgical quality initiative at Pontefract, leading to its adoption across the two hospitals. The company aims to develop a business case with York health economics group and Mid Yorkshire for broader NHS adoption, based on the successful outcomes and health economics work. Ross also highlighted Ondine's commercial momentum, including the deployment of Steriwave in eight new healthcare facilities and a growing international presence, now spanning 22 facilities in Canada and expanding in the UK and Spain. The success is attributed partly to Steriwave's effectiveness in reducing the need for antibiotics, as demonstrated in a UK study, and its alignment with antimicrobial resistance efforts. Ondine plans to continue expanding in European markets, capitalize on its success in Canada, and explore potential in the United States through FDA phase three trials.
