TNR Gold Corp

TNR Gold Corp executive chairman Kirill Klip discusses the company's strategic moves and upcoming projects with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Klip highlighted the purchase of over 6 million shares under its normal course issuer bid program, underscoring the management's belief that the current share price does not reflect the true value of the company's assets. He referenced a report from Fundamental Research Corp., which set a price target of 22 cents per share. Additionally, Klip noted significant progress in TNR Gold Corp's projects, including the Shotgun Gold Project in Alaska, which benefits from rising gold prices and promising drill results. The project's inferred gold reserves stand at over 700,000 ounces, with potential for resource expansion through further drilling. Klip also discussed how Ganfeng Lithium is advancing its Mariana Lithium Project, scheduled to start production in 2024, marking a significant step as TNR Gold Corp transitions to a green energy metals royalty company. This project will provide the company's first cash flow from NSR royalty payments without requiring capital contributions. Furthermore, Kirill discussed the Los Azules Copper Project in Argentina, highlighting meetings with the new Argentine president and potential project implications under new economic policies. The project's expected outputs could significantly increase TNR Gold Corp's revenue streams from NSR royalties. Contact Details v +1 604-688-8158 na-editorial@proactiveinvestors.com

US Gold Corp's Edward Karr says gold's rally is a game changer for junior miners

US Gold Corp

US Gold Corp (NASDAQ:USAU) founder Edward Karr discusses the current gold market and company prospects with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Karr highlighted the gold price reaching new all-time highs at approximately $2,400 per ounce, which he sees as a positive trend for the industry, particularly beneficial for junior mining companies. Despite recent fluctuations, the industry remains highly profitable at these levels. Karr shared insights from the European Gold Forum in Zurich, noting a decrease in investor attendance compared to previous years, which he interprets as indicative of a "stealth bull market." Karr expressed optimism for future gold prices, emphasizing strong fundamentals despite potential headwinds from high interest rates and a robust US dollar. He believes that gold's resilience in the current geopolitical and economic climate suggests further upward potential. Karr also pointed to increased central bank and Asian market purchases as signs of sustained demand. Discussing US Gold Corp specifically, Karr detailed the promising economics of its flagship CK Gold Project in Wyoming, which is close to production with anticipated permits. He cited a sensitivity analysis indicating significant valuation increases at current gold prices. The company’s projects in Nevada and Idaho also stand to benefit greatly from the current gold market, potentially leading to enhanced company valuations and increased mergers and acquisitions activity in the sector.

CoverSelf appoints Ashish Singh, Advisory Partner at Bain & Company, as Board Director

CoverSelf

CoverSelf, a unified platform for healthcare claims and payment integrity, is today announcing the appointment of Ashish Singh, Advisory Partner at Bain & Company, as Board Director. This development comes on the heels of the company’s recent close of a $8.2 million seed round. Ashish is a well-known and deeply respected Bain & Company leader. He led Bain’s global Healthcare and Life Sciences (HLS) practice from 2012 to 2018 and served two terms on Bain’s global Board of Directors in the same time period. Ashish also founded Bain & Company’s India office and was at its helm as Managing Director (2005-2011) and Chairman (2011-2014). Over the years, he also co-founded Bain’s Enterprise Software, Media & Entertainment, Pharmaceutical and Payer practices. Ashish’s expertise lies in corporate and BU strategies, market entry strategies, operational improvement, organisational effectiveness, M&A, healthcare IT, and large-scale corporate transformation programs. “We are thrilled to welcome Ashish onboard as our Board Director. He is a veteran in this space and brings invaluable experience in formulating overall strategy and US GTM strategy, as well as in-depth knowledge of the US healthcare system and health plans. Not to mention, his broad network of relationships across the industry will benefit us in the long term,” said Rajasekhar Maddireddy, Co-founder of CoverSelf. “We’ve been busy since our funding announcement. We are already live as the secondary editor in three health plans, with an expansion to another four over the next six months in the works. We are in full-scale implementation with a top 10 health plan, and executing a PoC with a Top 5 health plan. These are showing remarkable results, wherein the platform is processing 25 times more claims in the same time window than was done earlier. We will soon start initial moves into markets adjacent to the payment integrity (PI) space via collaboration with a focused set of partners to bring broader integrated solutions to our clients.” CoverSelf was founded in 2021 by US healthcare domain experts Rajasekhar Maddireddy and Raghavendra Pawar to tackle the ever-increasing claims inaccuracies and waste. The company aims to democratize the healthcare claims and payment integrity industry by creating a first-of-its-kind, fully open and transparent solution that empowers payment integrity teams in health insurance companies (payers) to transparently resolve health claims with hospitals and medical practices (providers). CoverSelf’s purpose-built platform utilizes multiple approaches, including the smart use of GenAI, to reduce waste while identifying new savings opportunities. The platform empowers payers to adapt to claims and payment inaccuracies by enabling them to configure their policies and logic in simple English-like language or use simple policy-specific templates, overcoming the fear of losing IP and fostering innovation and new concept releases without technical dependencies. “According to recent reports, the $9 billion PI industry has grown at around 7% CAGR in recent years. This just shows the inherent complexity of the billing processes. The truth is, over the years, there has been a perceptible negative impact on providers' experience with payments, and trust in payers has taken a significant hit. This has resulted in ballooning waste and improper payments. Given this scenario, I’m glad to lend a helping hand to CoverSelf’s mission,” said Ashish Singh, Board Director of CoverSelf. “I will work closely with the co-founders and top management to increase Coverself's visibility amongst healthcare payers and technology partners and also bring my expertise to assist them in corporate and market strategy. What we are doing in CoverSelf is not just building a product that is looking to solve a few pain points; we are on a once-in-a-lifetime mission to truly democratize healthcare claims and payment integrity and restore faith in the US’s healthcare ecosystem!” About CoverSelf CoverSelf is a generational leap forward in healthcare claims and Payment Integrity architecture, built from the ground up for healthcare-specific use by passionate domain experts and strong technology professionals with decades of experience in addressing the pain points faced by Providers and Payers when dealing with the latest technological advancements. Founded in 2021, CoverSelf’s Payment Integrity Platform engages modern technologies to address payment leakage & claims inaccuracies while remaining transparent & accessible to Payers. The platform empowers payers to prevent and adapt to the ever-evolving claims & payment inaccuracies.

Autonomix Medical Inc. Covered in Benzinga Article Highlighting Innovative Nerve Treatment Technology

Autonomix Medical, Inc.

New York, April 15, 2024 - (Plato Data) -- Benzinga has published a new article on Autonomix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: AMIX), featuring the company's groundbreaking approach to peripheral nervous system (PNS) disorders. The Benzinga article delves into the critical role of the PNS in human health and highlights how Autonomix Medical is pioneering with its catheter-based microchip sensing array technology. The article provides a comprehensive look at how Autonomix Medical is redefining treatment protocols for nerve-related disorders. By targeting the root causes associated with the PNS, rather than just managing symptoms, Autonomix Medical's technology offers a novel solution that combines both detection and ablation of problematic nerves in a single procedure. This approach, likened to a "GPS" for nerve treatment, allows for precise identification and treatment of the nerves involved, enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of procedures. In a notable application, the company is focusing its efforts on managing pancreatic cancer pain—a condition notoriously difficult to treat due to its proximity to critical nerves. The technology's high sensitivity in detecting neural signals—up to 3,000 times greater than existing technologies—promises not only to improve outcomes in pain management but also to significantly reduce the need for opioids, addressing a major public health challenge. This exposure in Benzinga underscores the potential of Autonomix Medical's technology to transform the field of electrophysiology and pain management, potentially tapping into a market exceeding $100 billion. As the company progresses with its clinical trials, the successful implementation of its technology could revolutionize treatment approaches for a wide range of diseases, offering hope to millions of patients worldwide.

Oworkers Celebrates a Decade of Excellence in Multilingual BPO Services

Prodigy Press Wire

Oworkers, a leading provider of business process outsourcing (BPO) services, commemorates 10 years of providing top-notch solutions designed to meet its clientele's diverse needs. Founder Stephane Guillemin has propelled the company to the forefront of the industry, positioning it as a global leader in socially responsible outsourcing. Initially, Oworkers focused on providing data entry and processing services in its nascent stages. It immediately gained momentum, expanding its service portfolio and including content moderation and artificial intelligence-related (AI) services, such as annotation. This development enabled Oworkers to become a frontrunner in delivering BPO solutions customized to meet the shifting needs of its clients. Its team of seasoned experts with over 25 years of collective experience in the industry allows Oworkers to serve clients from various industries and sectors, from aggregators and marketplaces to Commerce platforms and AI companies. In 2017, Oworkers obtained ISO 9001 certification, showcasing its commitment to quality and adhering to international standards. It also attained ISO 27001 accreditation four years later. It is significant to note that throughout its remarkable journey, the company has established delivery centers in strategic locations across the globe. Oworkers capitalized on Antananarivo, Madagascar's growing reputation as a prime destination for data processing outsourcing services and focused on French and basic English projects. The region then became the center of the firm's operations, known for its cost-effectiveness and high-quality deliverables. The innovative outsourcing company also found an ideal setting for its multilingual BPO operations in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, in 2020. The city boasts Europe's lowest operating costs and a pool of highly skilled multilingual talents, making it an ideal location for Oworkers to continue its mission of solidifying its position as a premier BPO solutions provider within the Eurozone. Oworkers also seized the opportunity to leverage Cairo, Egypt's rich talent pool and favorable business environment, and established another multilingual BPO services center. Because of its diverse workforce proficient in Arabic, English, Italian, Spanish, Greek, and Turkish, Oworkers' Cairo headquarters became renowned for its efficiency, reliability, and outstanding linguistic capabilities. Besides its initiatives for growth and expansion, Oworkers stands out for its commitment to the well-being of its employees. "Many BPO providers fail to prioritize the welfare of their annotators. We at Oworkers recognize that our success relies on our employees. We do our best to create a conducive work environment for them. This means a great work atmosphere, a balanced work-life ratio, and no overtime demands," Guillemin supplies. Oworkers' low employee turnover rate, which stands at 1.7% in 2023 compared to the industry average of around 20%, attests to the company's success in fulfilling its mission of prioritizing its employees' well-being, professional development, and overall welfare. This high retention rate is one of the drivers of Oworkers' long-term stability and growth. The company also demonstrates dedication to socially responsible outsourcing practices by employing full-time staff rather than freelancers or subcontractors. Because it operates in countries like Madagascar and Egypt, where the majority of its workforce consists of women, Oworkers helps empower countless families to break free from the cycle of poverty and achieve a higher standard of living. As it celebrates its 10th anniversary, Oworkers looks forward to continuing its journey of innovation and redefining the standards of excellence in the BPO industry. "We promise to remain dedicated to delivering value-driven solutions that drive operational efficiency and enhance client satisfaction," Guillemin assures.
