HANetf launches Sprott ESG Copper Miners UCITS ETF

HANetf Holdings Limited

HANetf Head of Research Tom Bailey visits the Proactive London studio to speak with Thomas Warner about the Sprott ESG Copper Miners UCITS ETF. Bailey explains that the new ETF offers investors exposure to copper miners in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. The ETF is significant due to copper's growing importance in the global economy, especially in renewable energy and decarbonisation efforts. For instance, electric vehicles use over twice the amount of copper compared to conventional cars. Additionally, renewable energy sources like wind and solar power require more copper than traditional coal or gas-fired power plants. Bailey highlights the expected surge in copper demand for green uses and says the ESG aspect of the ETF ensures investment in copper miners that avoid activities like coal production, aligning with investor preferences for sustainable investments. He describes the Sprott ESG Copper Miners ETF as more than just a sustainable investment option, saying that it represents a growth opportunity in the mining sector, given the anticipated rise in copper demand linked to global economic trends. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker CVPR and will also be available in Milan and Frankfurt. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

McCart Yields Ontario Surface Nickel Numbers, End of Last Hole on Victoria in Quebec Surprises with Unexpected Mineralized Occurrences

Renforth Resources Inc.

December 11, 2023 – TheNewswire – Pickering, ON - Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE:RFR) (OTC:RFHRF) (FSE-9RR) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) would like to update shareholders on successful recent nickel prospecting on the McCart Property, near Iroquois Falls Ontario and the unexpected, mineralized occurrences at the very end of the last drill hole on Victoria. McCart Sampling Program Results The McCart claims lie atop a thick ultramafic sequence. The large, broad ridges expose komatiites, peridotites and dunites, and run approximately NE-SW. Pillowed basalts are exposed in the southeastern area of the property. The ridge in the northern part of the property contains numerous blasted pits and trenches in a broad area along and across the northern property boundary. Additional blasted trenches and pits were found in the southeastern corner of the property as well. Samples taken during the Fall 2023 Prospecting program consisted primarily of ultramafic and mafic units with very fine sulfide mineralization. Twenty-eight samples were taken during the program, of which 10 samples returned assay values greater than 1000ppm Ni. Five samples were in the range of 1700-2230ppm Ni, with 2230ppm Ni from Sample M007452 being the highest assay value of this program. Click Image To View Full Size   Click Image To View Full Size   Victoria Drill Program Final Hole   The last hole drilled at Victoria was continued, in typical fashion, to the sedimentary contact at the bottom of the hole. As the three mineralized horizons had already been intersected, undercutting, and continuing the mineralization encountered in the prior, shallower, hole SUR-23-56 down dip, there was little expectation of the end of this hole.   Two additional mineralized occurrences were found at the end of hole SUR-23-57 in two forms. The first is within the typical blue/green ultramafics, which as deep as 373m down the hole included dark grey-black bands of graphite and magnetite which returned mineralized values in XRF testing. The second occurrence is a zone of very intense carbonate-plagioclase alteration and recrystallization from 296.6-300.15m, only seen once before in any of Renforth's drilling at Victoria in SUR-21-16, significantly east of this hole.   "Ending our program with bonus mineralization at the end of the hole is of course exciting, but also illustrates that we have not yet defined what Victoria is, it keeps getting better. We look forward to our assays coming back in the new year and planning our next work on this exciting, large scale mineralized property that keeps on growing. The potential we see on our 100% owned, 20km long Victoria mineralized structure is significant" states Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth.   Click Image To View Full Size   About Renforth Renforth is a battery metals area play with the dominant brownfield land position south of the world class Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault ("CLLF") in the prolific Cadillac and Malartic mining camps of Quebec's Abitibi. Offering exposure to gold, zinc, nickel, copper, cobalt and more, including lithium, Renforth's land position encompasses several areas of interest. Renforth's position is unique in that the both the battery metals mineralization at Surimeau and our gold deposit at Parbec are road accessible, with hydro power crossing the properties, in an established and secure mining jurisdiction which regularly ranks as Top 10 (as determined by the Fraser Institute) in the world. Renforth is engaged in the active exploration of the proven Surimeau battery metals mineralization, working towards a maiden resource statement, and the remodeling of our Parbec gold deposit to incorporate the ~15,000m drilled subsequent to the 2019 effective date of the last MRE.   Technical disclosure in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Francis R.

AirConsole strikes strategic investment from KPIT Technologies to expand in-car gaming solution

AirConsole

Leading in-car gaming platform AirConsole (owned by N-Dream) has secured strategic investment from KPIT Technologies, an independent software integration partner to the automotive and mobility ecosystem to increase AirConsole’s lead in in-car gaming. The AirConsole in-car gaming solution was launched in new BMW vehicles earlier this year. With KPITs extensive experience in software development, integration and validation in Cockpit, Cloud and Connectivity domains, they are the ideal integration partner for N-Dream to scale the rollout of AirConsole to more models and brands. The innovative collaboration can be experienced at CES 2024, where KPIT will present their Cockpit of the Future together with AirConsole. Anthony Cliquot, CEO of N-Dream. “It's been a transformational year at AirConsole and in the industry. We have scaled our BMW partnership and have extended that to the MINI brand. Not only this, but we struck a partnership with Sony’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and will be launching the game in 2024. Now, working KPIT will take AirConsole to the next level. This investment will enable us to provide even more impressive games in the near future, increase our footprint in the automotive industry and overall establish ourselves as the ideal gaming solution for car makers and passengers. We look forward to CES 2024 where the world will get to see AirConsole in action.” KPIT’s equity investment in N-Dream will allow the company to grow their team, as well as enabling AirConsole to build out its game portfolio with well known gaming brands, creating more immersive experiences designed for the car. “Casual gaming is a fast-growing use case in a modern cabin. AirConsole is one of the industry’s early movers in the In-vehicle game aggregation space. KPIT is excited to strategically complement its software development and integration capabilities with AirConsole to realise new experiences for the Cockpit of the Future. Together, we will help OEM clients create monetizable Digital Services for existing vehicles and new launches”, said Mr. Pushpahas Joshi, EVP and member of the Executive Board at KPIT Technologies. The AirConsole in-car gaming solution allows passengers to play a diverse library of casual video games on the car’s entertainment system. AirConsole transforms the whole vehicle into a gaming console by using its surround sound system, big displays and interior lighting with smartphones as controllers. This unique experience is specifically designed for cars and catered to a broad audience from occasional players to hardcore gamers. “We are thrilled to have such a strong partner from the automotive industry. With autonomous driving, the way we commute will change forever. Together with KPIT we will spearhead in-car gaming, in a world where passengers will be able to spend much more time on entertainment.” says Andrin von Rechenberg, founder of N-Dream. AirConsole’s latest gaming software technology is able to run the games directly inside the vehicle and the service does not rely on streaming the games from the cloud, which would require more mobile bandwidth than is available in many cases. AirConsole is using smartphones to control the games, with each game having its own unique game controller design on the phone. Compared to controlling games with touch input on a flat head unit display, AirConsole is far more ergonomic, feels more natural and allows any passenger inside the car to participate in a multiplayer experience. About AirConsole AirConsole was founded in 2015 and is currently located in Zurich, Switzerland. AirConsole is the leading casual gaming platform for in-car entertainment. Its games are seamlessly played using smartphones as controllers while playing games on a big screen, eliminating the need for additional hardware.

ETC Group CSO reports on bitcoin hitting 18-month highs

HANetf Holdings Limited

ETC Group founder and Chief Strategy Officer Bradley Duke speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about a recent crypto rally that has brought bitcoin prices to 18-month highs of more than $43,000. Duke gives his take on what's behind the rise in bitcoin prices before going on to explain what it means both for the wider crypto space and ETC Group itself. He expresses scepticism at the idea that price movements in gold and bitcoin are becoming increasingly correlated, saying that 'lately they've been acting more independently... I think actually the bitcoin story is driven more by its own news flow.' He highlights what he calls an "ongoing saga" over in the US of the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of spot bitcoin ETFs. He says renewed enthusiasm for bitcoin represents a significant boon for ETC Group, saying that "now for the first time in Europe we're starting to see proper institutions ready to dip their toe in and make allocations."
