Global Lithium confirms production of high grade spodumene concentrate

Global Lithium Resources Ltd

Global Lithium Resources Ltd (ASX:GL1) MD Ron Mitchell tells Proactive the company has progressed work on a definitive feasibility study (DFS) for the Manna Lithium Project in Western Australia, demonstrating strong flotation and lithium recoveries in test-work. GL1 has selected a whole ore flotation circuit for the Manna Project, having completed 31 flotation tests and producing a spodumene concentrate of 5.6% to 6.5% lithium and 0.4% to 0.8% iron. The company achieved spodumene recovery from rougher flotation beneficiation of more than 95% while still maintaining lithium grades of 5.5% or better. "These results confirm saleable spodumene concentrate can be generated with high lithia recoveries and low impurities," Mitchell said. ”The team is now focused on a DFS optimisation test-work program. Introduction of ore sorting into the Manna flowsheet will enhance the project due to the expected uplift in lithium head grade, while significantly reducing the iron content in the mill feed."

News Release

Nevada Lithium drill results at Bonnie Claire Project significantly extend high-grade mineralization

Nevada Lithium Resources Inc

Nevada Lithium CEO Stephen Rentschler joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's recent exploration achievements. Nevada Lithium has reported the initial core assay results from its 2023 diamond drilling program at the Bonnie Claire lithium project located in Nevada. Rentschler informed Proactive that the reported drill hole reached the geological basement at a depth of 2950 feet, making it the deepest hole drilled at the Bonnie Claire site so far. The assays revealed a high-grade lower mineralized zone that spans 1100 feet with lithium concentrations averaging 3076 parts per million (ppm). Within this zone, a significant subinterval of 360 feet contained a higher lithium grade of 4291 ppm. These results not only represent some of the highest lithium grades found in the project to date but also substantiate the prospect of uncovering additional high-grade mineralization. Nevada Lithium plans to continue sharing updates as more results from the 2023 diamond drill program become available and are analyzed, indicating a forward momentum in their exploration efforts.

Cyber budgets fail to meet expectations with only 1% increase on previous year in the U.S., finds S-RM

S-RM

· In 2023, the average cyber budget for large organizations grew by 3.1% YOY globally to USD 27.10 million — but only by 1% YOY in the U.S. · The increase falls below the 5% rise anticipated by Senior IT professionals and their C-suites cited in S-RM’s Cyber Security Insights Report 2023 · Nearly a third (31%) of organizations say lack of budget is a key cybersecurity challenge S-RM, a leading global corporate intelligence and cybersecurity consultancy, today published its Cyber Security Insights Report 2023, which reveals that this year’s cyber budgets for large organizations are falling short of expectations. In 2023, globally the average cyber budget grew to USD 27.10 million, up 3.1% from USD 26.30 million in 2022. In the U.S., budgets grew only by 1%. S-RM’s research shows that senior IT professionals and their C-suites had anticipated a more substantial increase of 5%, which would have seen budgets reach USD 27.60 million. The appetite for more budget comes after a year of rising operational costs – a result of wider economic turbulence – and a growing cyber threat following rapid advancements in generative AI. Cybersecurity departments want more budget to upskill employees (42%) and recruit additional skilled personnel (41%) to accommodate this rising threat. On average, cyber budgets make up a quarter (25%) of an organization's overall IT budget, marking a 1% decrease in share from 2022. This allocation varies across sectors, with Retail being the most generous (28%) and Energy & Utilities allocating the least (18%) toward tackling cyber threats. Navigating tightened purse strings Lack of budget was cited as a key challenge by nearly one third (31%) of organizations. To navigate this, cybersecurity teams have been prioritizing spend in the most ‘value for money’ areas. For the third consecutive year, investment in cyber technology topped the list, though fewer organizations highlighted technology as delivering the value commensurate with its cost in 2023 (49%) than in 2022 (58%). This dip can be attributed to a growing awareness that alongside cybersecurity technology, organizations need to invest in governance and personnel to effectively enable and manage new tech. This is a view more prevalent among IT professionals charged with implementing cyber tech solutions, with only 43% citing technology as ‘high value for money’ compared to 56% of C-suite executives. The findings reflect a misalignment of expectations between the operators of cyber technologies and those a step removed from their day-to-day applications. Organizations are adopting several other strategies to manage cybersecurity with restricted budgets: IT and security optimization - Identifying cost reduction opportunities by making existing processes more efficient to allocate budget for more critical initiatives. Future-focused investment - Investing now in security initiatives for long-term cost savings. Outsourcing - Contracting out IT and security functions to Managed Service Security Providers (MSSPs) or virtual Chief Information Security Officers (vCISOs). Paul Caron, Head of Cybersecurity, Americas at S-RM, said: “It’s reassuring that cybersecurity budgets are still rising in these challenging times, but this level of increase is simply not enough to tackle the growing cyber threat. This year’s increase has failed to meet the expectations of cyber teams and reveals that cyber security may be taking a back seat as its share of the overall IT budget declines. “Navigating ongoing skill shortages and investing in training and development of teams comes at a cost, but cyber professionals are not receiving the budget they need to deliver on these critical initiatives. Organizations will have to continue being cautious with cyber security spend, identifying those ‘value for money’ areas that will enable them to manage emerging cyber threats with tightened purse strings.” For more information, access the full 2023 Cyber Security Insights Report on S-RM's official website here: https://www.s-rminform.com/cyber-security-insights-report-2023 ENDS Notes to Editors: Methodology: The S-RM Cyber Security Insights Report 2023 follows on from our 2022 report, where we seek to understand the specific cybersecurity challenges faced by C-suite leaders and senior IT decision makers. For the 2023 report, we interviewed 602 C-Suite and senior IT professionals on the most pressing cyber challenges, cyber security incidents, and cyber budgets over the past year.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals' CEO reveals next-generation COVID vaccine technology chosen for key program

Tonix Pharmaceuticals

Digital Detox: What is it and Do You Need One?

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/jinxQF8-WHw By disconnecting from the digital world for an extended amount of time, people can experience reduced anxiety, better sleep, and a greater sense of presence in the real world. Digital detox also encourages healthier relationships with technology, aiding users in breaking the cycle of addiction to digital devices and regain control over their screen time. Especially as the holidays near, digital detox is top of mind for many Americans as they work to unplug and focus on being present with family, friends and loved ones. With the introduction of the new razr, Motorola is unveiling a new software experience called Moto Unplugged to help users take a break from their smartphone and remove distractions. Driven by Gen Z’s need to establish healthy boundaries with their devices, Motorola created Moto Unplugged to empower users to take a step back and match their mobile experience with their mindset - allowing them to choose when and how they want to disconnect. Setup is simple. Users choose essential apps and contacts they want notifications from. Then whenever they want to unplug, they select a time frame and start a digital break. For example, if a user needs to focus during work hours, they could choose to access only their email or Microsoft Teams and not see any other app during that Unplugged session. Or, for those looking to disconnect for some personal time, users can choose to limit which social media and messaging apps are accessible and which are temporarily blocked. That means more quality time with friends & family, more time to focus on the work that matters now, and more time to balance day-to-day life. Whatever the motivation may be, Moto Unplugged helps users disconnect and break away from the distractions of their phone. The pocketable design of the motorola razr and razr+ also lends itself to supporting users’ mental well-being with features like: An interactive external display: The razr offers a1.5" external display, ideal for those who want to disconnect while their phone is closed. Users can still view notifications, check their calendar and more on the external display, so they can stay connected, and not distracted. The 1.5" external display keeps users up to date with the latest notifications—without having to flip open the phone.. With the razr+, users have a larger 3.6" external display, which allows users to check notifications, respond to emails and messages, and manage virtually any app without opening the phone. This means users can check off tasks quickly without getting absorbed into their device. Innovative Flex View: Both devices also offer fun opportunities for content capture. Using Flex View, users can stand the phone at multiple angles - using it as a hands-free tripod of sorts. Both devices offer interactive camera features like Photo Booth, which can be fun for the whole family especially around the holidays.
