Battery Mineral Resources Corp.

Battery Mineral Resources Corp. ( TSXV: BMR ) ( OTCQB: BTRMF ) (“ Battery ” or “ BMR ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that its Chilean subsidiary, Minera BMR SpA (“ Minera ”) has entered into a marketing agreement, master purchase and sale agreement, a copper concentrate pre-payment and advance payment terms arrangements (collectively, the “ Agreements ”) with Javelin Global Commodities (“ Javelin ”). It is intended that, pursuant to the Agreements, Javelin will market the copper concentrate, gold, silver, and other metals, (“ Product ”), produced at the Punitaqui Plant located at the Punitaqui Mining Complex (“ Punitaqui ”), provide a US$5,000,000 copper concentrate pre-payment and offer advance payment terms in respect of shipments of Product delivered from time to time in an amount of up to US$20,000,000. Marketing Agreement Pursuant to the marketing agreement, Minera appoints Javelin as its exclusive marketing agent for sales of Product to be produced at Punitaqui for a term of 11 years. In consideration for provision of marketing services, Javelin will earn a variable commission based on Product price receivable by Minera from the sale of Product facilitated through Javelin’s marketing activities. The marketing agreement is subject to pre-agreed upon exclusions for certain Product which will not be marketed by Javelin. US$5,000,000 Copper Concentrate Prepay Javelin has agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to prepay to Minera US$5,000,000 in respect of future deliveries of copper concentrate made by Minera to Javelin. The prepaid amount is repayable by Minera on or before December 31, 2026, through the delivery of copper concentrate or in cash. The outstanding balance of the prepaid amount will be subject to an advance payment fee chargeable from the date of the advance until the prepaid amount is reduced to zero, at a rate equal to the three-month SOFR (subject to SOFR floor of 2.00%) plus 7.00% per annum. The proceeds of the Prepay are intended to be used to help fund the Punitaqui restart. In this regard, personnel hiring for the resumption of full operations at Punitaqui remains on schedule. Final mine maintenance at the San Andres mine including rehabilitation of ground support, re-activation of compressed air, ventilation, power, and water in preparation for resumption of full mining operations, commenced in late November with the aim of full operational commissioning of the plant in Q1 and plant start-up in Q2 of 2024. Payment Terms Arrangement of up to US$20,000,000 Javelin will establish an advance payment terms arrangement (“ Facility ”) in an aggregate amount of up to US$20,000,000.

An upfront discount of 1% of the maximum Facility amount and an administration discount of US$2,000 per week shall be paid by Minera to Javelin, which may be offset against the price payable by Javelin for the Product shipments. In consideration of Javelin making advance payments, Minera shall pay to Javelin an advance payment discount at a rate equal to three-month SOFR (subject to SOFR floor of 2.00%) plus 7.00% per annum on the principal amount outstanding under the Facility from time to time. BMR and Minera are providing a pledge of certain assets, including over shares in Minera and over rights under certain material agreements of BMR and Minera as conditions of the Facility and the other Agreements. CEO Commentary Martin Kostuik, Battery’s CEO stated, “The consummation of these Agreements with Javelin marks a very critical step in terms of placing the Punitaqui Mine into operational readiness and first concentrate production. We welcome Javelin as a partner and look forward to leveraging their marketing prowess to maximize the value that the sale of copper concentrates will bring to BMR shareholders”. Conditionality and Security While the Agreements have been entered into, the availability of the copper concentrate prepay and the ability of Minera to borrow under the working capital facility are each subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions. BMR has agreed to guarantee all obligations and liabilities of Minera under the Agreements. Minera’s obligations under the Agreements will be secured by liens in favour of Javelin over assets and material agreements of Minera and BMR.

US Global Investors continues to see strong results from US Global Jets fund

HANetf

US Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide insights into the company's U.S. Global Jets fund, which was initiated in 2015. The fund's performance and the aviation industry have witnessed a rebound following the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Holmes elaborated on the factors driving the fund's performance and discussed key developments in the aviation sector. One notable development is the upgrade of Mexico's air safety rating from Category 2 back to Category 1 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) last week. This upgrade reflects improved safety standards and is a positive indicator for Mexico's aviation industry. Holmes also highlighted an interesting historical trend in the airline industry. Airlines have historically exhibited an inverse relationship with oil prices. When oil prices rise, airline stocks tend to underperform, while they tend to outperform when oil prices decline. This unique relationship can present attractive entry points for investors looking to gain exposure to the global airline industry, especially in times of fluctuating oil prices. The rebound of the U.S. Global Jets fund and the positive developments in the aviation sector demonstrate the resilience of the industry in overcoming challenges and adapting to changing market conditions. Holmes' insights shed light on the investment opportunities within the aviation sector, offering valuable considerations for investors interested in this dynamic industry.

Pullix is a top-level DeFi coin and is set to be a breath of fresh air for investors who have to constantly deal with high transaction fees on many exchanges. More details below. Pullix Witnesses 15,000 Participants, Set to End Presale in 70 Days With Bitcoin coming back, Pullix will outshine many established cryptos in the next bull run. Even with the project being new in the crypto market, the Pullix ongoing presale has been a huge success, attracting the attention of whales based on its unique idea of developing a hybrid trading platform. The project has raised over $5 million in presale and is expected to raise more funds before the presale ends. With Binance, Coinbase, and Kucoin notorious for high transaction charges that reduce investors’ profitability, constant security vulnerabilities, and lack of liquidity, investors are looking for alternative platforms to lift these burdens. As such, Pullix will be the first hybrid platform to merge the features of both centralized and decentralized exchanges. The Pullix platform will be a non-custodial exchange, allowing investors a firm grip and control over their assets. The Pullix platform will provide top-notch security, liquidity, and faster transaction processing to solve the myriad of problems of the established exchanges completely. As a result, investors have flocked to the Pullix project endlessly. Over 15k users have already registered on the platform and more than 80 million PLX tokens have been sold so far. Pullix has been listed on CoinGecko and the native token, PLX, an ERC20 token is sold for only $0.10. There is also a 10% bonus which will be given to the token buyers now before the project is launched in 70 days. Early investors who joined the presale in the first stage already got over 150% ROI. As the presale winds down, investors can earn a fixed daily percentage of the platform's revenue through the profit share model of the Pullix platform. After the presale, there will be a token burn feature to stabilize the price of the PLX tokens already in circulation. With a potential ROI of 100x at launch, Pullix is a top DeFi coin that can give investors a significant profit in 2024. Bitcoin (BTC) to Hit $50k as Market Condition Improves Bitcoin (BTC) has been on a remarkable surge recently after the aftermath of the Bitcoin ETF began to ease off. The Bitcoin price has increased by 24.73% in the past 90 days as the road leading to the bull run gathers momentum. Having traded between the high of $48,969 to the low of $38,521 in the last 30 days, the coin may be set for another spark soon. The BTC price has seen an over 11% rally in the past week with the Bitcoin trading volume and market cap also experiencing an uptrend. These are signs of high trading activity which experts believe will trigger a rally in the coming days. With continued whale injection resulting in Bitcoin market dominance, analysts predict that the Bitcoin price may hit $50k before the end of Q1 of 2024.
