Dynamic Metals defines 2.8km lithium anomaly at Widgiemooltha

Dynamic Metals Limited

Dynamic Metals Ltd (ASX:DYM) managing director Karen Wellman tells Proactive the company has defined a 2.8 kilometre lithium anomaly during first pass soil sampling at its Pioneer Dome West target, part of the larger Widgiemooltha Project in the Goldfields region of Western Australia. The Pioneer Dome West tenement sits on the recently granted E15/1721 licence and covers 20 kilometres of strike along the highly prospective western side of the Pioneer Dome. It is adjacent to Essential Metals’ Dome North lithium project, which hosts a mineral resource of 11.2 million tonnes grading 1.2% lithium oxide and is subject to proposed acquisition by Develop Global. Dynamic is focused on advancing a highly prospective portfolio of future facing critical minerals projects in Australia. The Company completed a successful IPO in January 2023 raising $7 million to fully fund an aggressive exploration program across the portfolio. Dynamic’s flagship project, Widgiemooltha, covers an extensive area of c.880km2 extending between Norseman and Kambalda. The region is well known for its numerous nickel and gold mines, but more recently has emerged in significance for its lithium mineralisation and prospectivity.

ABx Group reveals "by far the highest assay result to date" from REE drill program

ABx Group Ltd

ABx Group Ltd (ASX:ABX, OTC:AUSBF) Managing Director Mark Cooksey speaks to Thomas Warner about the the strategic minerals and chemicals company's progress with its projects in Tasmania and the Australian mainland. Cooksey gives a brief overview of the business, saying that ABx is primarily focused on exploring rare earth elements in Tasmania as well as developing a novel process to convert industrial waste into essential industrial chemicals. A significant highlight is their ionic clay rare earth deposit, similar to those mined in China, which is a cost-effective source of heavy rare earths for permanent magnets. Cooksey reveals that recent assays showed "by far the highest assay result to date" of over 17,000 PPM total rare earths including over 800ppm of dysprosium. With promising results close to their drilling boundary, he sees scope for extending the resource. Over the next two years, ABx aims to expand its rare earth resource, finalise metallurgical processes, and to be close to establishing its first commercial plant in Tasmania to recycle waste from Australian aluminium smelters.

Fenix Resources getting straight to work at Beebyn-W11 iron ore deposit

Fenix Resources Ltd

Fenix Resources Ltd (ASX:FEX) chairman John Welborn speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the iron ore producer announced it has secured the exclusive right to mine and export up to 10 million dry metric tonnes of iron ore from the high-grade Beebyn-W11 iron ore deposit, not far from its existing Iron Ridge Project in the Mid West region of Australia. Welborn provides some context, saying that Fenix has produced around 3 million tonnes of iron ore since starting mining in 2020. The company boasts a fully integrated business model, owning its haulage fleet and port logistic services. The latest news reveals that Fenix has secured the rights from the Sinosteel Midwest Corporation to mine an additional 10 million tonnes from the Weld Range, specifically from the Beebyn-W11 Iron ore deposit. Welborne emphasises the company's control over the three essential components of iron ore production: material, port pathway, and shipping. While the iron ore price remains a concern, Welborne remains optimistic about Fenix's future and its potential to reward shareholders. He says "We're immediately going to progress mining approval pathways and look at potential expansion of our existing production rate, and certainly a significant mine life extension."

Future Metals doubles exploration position near Panton

Future Metals NL

Future Metals NL (ASX:FME, AIM:FME) managing director Jardee Kininmonth tells Proactive an option agreement to acquire 100% of Osprey Minerals Pty Ltd is set to give FME around 100 square kilometres of highly prospective exploration tenements in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. The strategic acquisition, which includes the drill-ready Eileen Bore copper-nickel-platinum group metals (PGM) prospect, gives FME ground within a 20-kilometre radius of its 100%-owned Panton Project. Previous drilling at Eileen Bore has returned wide zones of shallow copper, nickel and PGM mineralisation. FME sees large scale potential with historical drilling proving mineralisation across a roughly 400-metre extent and geophysics demonstrating potential for 2.2 kilometres of NE-SW strike and untested anomalism 1 kilometre to the east. “The acquisition of Eileen Bore will provide Future Metals further significant exploration upside,” Kininmonth said. “Eileen Bore has expansive strike potential and drilling to date shows it is open at depth and potentially down plunge. Proving up another deposit of scale will be highly complementary to our existing resource at the Panton Project. The overall Osprey package substantially grows the company’s land position in a highly prospective and underexplored region.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

Lanthanein Resources acquires ground next to significant REE drill hits

Lanthanein Resources Ltd

Lanthanein Resources Ltd (ASX:LNR, OTC:FRNRF) technical director Brian Thomas tells Proactive the company has applied for additional tenure to the east and north of two reconnaissance roadside aircore drill holes that returned significant assays targeting rare earth elements (REEs) in the shallow Loxton Parilla Sands at the Murraydium Project in South Australia. The application for the new exploration licences follows the recent receipt of assay results from the roadside drilling program at Murraydium. The drill program targeted ionic clay-hosted rare earths within the Loxton-Parilla Sands unit which are present throughout the Murray Basin in South Australia and Victoria. Thomas said: “As a result of the significant assay results received from the roadside drilling program immediately adjacent to the eastern boundary of the Bordertown Block at the Murraydium Project in the South East of South Australia, we have applied for tenure to the east and north of those drill hits. “These significant results once again confirm the exciting exploration opportunity in the region for ionic clay hosted rare earth deposits as evidenced by AR3 who have outlined an extensive mineralised system at Koppamurra where shallow near surface exploration has delineated a recently upgraded JORC Resource of REEs.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

Brand and Creative Expertise Key to Profitable Scaling of E-Commerce Businesses, says Caava Design’s Cody Small

Prodigy Press Wire

The future of business is e-commerce, with retail e-commerce sales expected to exceed $6 trillion in 2023. The growth of e-commerce has greatly democratized the retail field, allowing entrepreneurs that do not have access to prime commercial space and inventory stock to become more competitive. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has made working from home more popular, resulting in more people buying from e-commerce businesses. Cody Small, Creative Director of Branding Agency Caava Design According to Cody Small, Creative Director of Branding Agency Caava Design, selling on major platforms such as Amazon is rapidly becoming the most profitable and efficient way to grow and scale an e-commerce business. In 2022, 89% of sellers on Amazon were profitable, up from 85% the previous year, and, despite concerns around inflation, 37% of sellers said their profits increased in 2022, a report by Jungle Scout showed. Aside from becoming a profitable business, Cody says sellers that are able to build something with true equity and value can be acquired by an aggregator, which is a business that acquires and consolidates smaller brands selling on Amazon. The acquisition is often three to six times the annual pre-tax profit of the target, making it a valuable exit strategy for entrepreneurs. Cody says that the Amazon marketplace has several unique characteristics that sellers can leverage. With just a few keystrokes in the search field, shoppers’ screens are instantly populated with a host of product options to purchase from. Many of these results usually vary little from each other, creating a problem for sellers: how does one stand out in an overwhelmingly saturated marketplace? Caava Design and Cody have substantial experience working on branding for both e-commerce and brick-and-mortar businesses. One such client was an e-commerce seller of air purifiers and air filtration systems for homes and offices. COVID had generated huge awareness and demand for better indoor air quality, and there were many competing companies in this space. Many of these companies were going for a “scientific” feel in their branding, with various schematics and diagrams. Caava went the opposite way, building the brand around the people who use the air purifiers and how it fits perfectly into their lives. Cody used a soft color palette, warm photography, and down-to-earth messaging to position it as a trustable national brand that understands their customers. This proved to be a success, as the client was acquired in 2021 by a major aggregator for millions of dollars. “There’s a few givens when it comes to achieving e-commerce success – like having a good product, good reviews, and good customer service,” Cody says. “But these aren’t differentiators, as your competitors can achieve similar results as well. I am sharing some insights that I’ve learned building businesses that stand out in the Amazon marketplace.” The Why The first step is to identify your reason. What is your why? What makes your product unique? What problem is it solving? Knowing your why creates the foundation before any design starts. If you are selling a product that is almost identical to others in the space, this is the opportunity to apply creativity and design thinking. For example, if you’re a shirt wholesaler and competitors are focused on the statistics and minutia of their product, such as “our product is made with 99% cotton”, you should focus on the result, like “our material breathes better – live better wearing our product”. The Brand The Why ultimately comes to fruition in your brand. A strong brand creates trust and credibility among consumers. When shoppers see a familiar brand, they are more likely to trust the product’s quality and have confidence in their purchase decision. Branding helps differentiate your products from competitors and builds a reputation for reliability and customer satisfaction. The Messaging Make your messaging as simple as possible. One of the biggest mistakes I see new companies make is trying to add too much messaging or information to sell their product. Focus only on the major differentiator of your product. Use big, consistent headlines and avoid having the headlines jump across the page as you cycle through. This will help your page flow and provide information to prospective customers faster. The Imagery Bespoke, unique imagery is key. Many Amazon storefronts today are using generic stock images with their product edited into them. It is always best to produce professionally shot images of your product in use. You may have an identical product to your competitor, but you’ll win the sale if your images are crisp, beautiful, and eye-catching. Maintain consistency across the content. A+ (enhanced) content is the perfect area to drive home the brand image and lifestyle. Although the A+ is separated, it needs to flow and feel consistent. In summary, Cody says building a high-performing Amazon storefront is achievable by using the building block principles he listed. Brands with the right reason, imagery, and messaging have the power to enhance the perceived value of a seller’s product and instill confidence in potential customers. Working with trusted experts in this space should not be underestimated, as their skills and knowledge of design principles and the market all greatly enhance the chances of success.
