Nevada Lithium’s Bonnie Claire 2nd core hole from 2023 shows 4,154 ppm Lithium

Nevada Lithium Resources Inc

Nevada Lithium CEO Stephen Rentschler joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share the core assay results for the second diamond drill hole, BC2303C, from the 2023 drill program at the Bonnie Claire lithium project in Nevada. This hole, drilled to a depth of 2,500 feet (762 meters), intersected high-grade lithium mineralization, with a notable 680-foot (207-meter) intercept—the thickest +4,000 ppm lithium zone drilled to date. Rentschler emphasized that this intercept represents a significant discovery, as it confirms the presence of a high-grade mineralized zone exceeding +3,000 ppm lithium, with indications of further thickening toward the east. Importantly, the mineralized zone remains open in multiple directions, suggesting the potential for further expansion. Furthermore, Rentschler noted that while the five holes drilled through this mineralized zone are within the planned PFS (Pre-Feasibility Study) resource upgrade area, much of the high-grade zone extends beyond the current resource limits. This indicates the potential for a positive impact on the PFS, prompting a re-analysis of the 2024 work plan to maximize the benefit of these latest assay results. Overall, the successful drilling results underscore the significant potential of the Bonnie Claire lithium project, positioning Nevada Lithium for further exploration and resource expansion efforts to capitalize on the identified high-grade mineralization.

Nevis Brands releases financial numbers seeing a 44% increase in quarterly revenue

Nevis Brands

Nevis Brands CEO John Kueber joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company's financial results for fiscal year 2023 and the fourth quarter ending November 30, 2023. Nevis Brands reported revenues of $671,000 for the year, with Cost of Goods Sold amounting to $278,604. For the fourth quarter alone, Nevis generated revenues of $395,876, primarily derived from royalties received from Licensees in five states, while Cost of Goods Sold stood at $134,223. Kueber expressed satisfaction with the conclusion of the fiscal year, highlighting the significant expenses and charges incurred during the transition from Pascal Biosciences Inc., the company's previous business entity. Notably, Nevis Brands achieved growth in revenues and managed to reduce costs of goods sold in the fourth quarter, signalling positive momentum in its operations. Furthermore, Kueber emphasized the company's ongoing efforts to expand its revenue streams, particularly in states where Nevis is currently operating. He expressed excitement about the additional revenues expected from licensees that have been secured but have yet to contribute to revenues. Notably, revenues for the fourth quarter did not include contributions from Nevada and California, both of which are now revenue-generating states. Additionally, Michigan and Missouri are anticipated to contribute to revenues in 2024, further bolstering Nevis Brands' financial performance. Looking ahead, Nevis Brands sees significant growth opportunities for its major brand, not only through expansion into new markets but also through the introduction of new products. Kueber emphasized the potential for diversification beyond beverages into other edible products, underscoring the company's commitment to innovation and market expansion. In summary, Nevis Brands' financial results for fiscal year 2023 and the fourth quarter reflect steady progress and positive momentum in its operations. With a strategic focus on revenue growth and product diversification, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the cannabis market and deliver value to its shareholders.

Ondine Biomedical achieves milestone with NHS trust's adoption of Steriwave

Ondine Biomedical Inc

Ondine Biomedical Inc Vice President of Sales & Marketing Matt Ross joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion after the company sealed its first commercial deal with an NHS trust, starting with the Pontefract and Pinderfields hospitals. This follows a successful 500-patient elective hip and knee surgical quality initiative at Pontefract, leading to its adoption across the two hospitals. The company aims to develop a business case with York health economics group and Mid Yorkshire for broader NHS adoption, based on the successful outcomes and health economics work. Ross also highlighted Ondine's commercial momentum, including the deployment of Steriwave in eight new healthcare facilities and a growing international presence, now spanning 22 facilities in Canada and expanding in the UK and Spain. The success is attributed partly to Steriwave's effectiveness in reducing the need for antibiotics, as demonstrated in a UK study, and its alignment with antimicrobial resistance efforts. Ondine plans to continue expanding in European markets, capitalize on its success in Canada, and explore potential in the United States through FDA phase three trials.

Netcompany joins OTCQX, eyes expansion of US investor base

Netcompany Group A/S

Netcompany (OTCQX:NTCYF) chief financial officer Thomas Johansen joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with more details about the Pan-European IT services firm as it starts trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker 'NTCYF.' Johansen said the company has been listed on the Copenhagen exchange since 2018 and joined the OTCQX to broaden its shareholder base in the US, acknowledging the significance of the IT and technology sector there. Currently, approximately 10% of Netcompany's shares are held by US investors, with ambitions to increase this further. Trading on OTCQX is anticipated to facilitate easier investment by US investors and enhance the company's visibility in the US market. The company reported a challenging yet strong performance for the fourth quarter of December 2023, showcasing double-digit growth and robust cash flow. This growth was predominantly driven by its operations outside Denmark, particularly noting that 45% of its business originates from Denmark, with the international sector experiencing over 20% growth in 2023. Although there was a temporary softness in Denmark's private sector and public spending in 2023, both sectors are showing signs of rebound in 2024. For 2024, Netcompany projects revenue growth of 7-10% and an EBITA margin of 15-18%, expecting broad-based growth across Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, the UK, Benelux, and Greece. This optimism is backed by a 17% increase in revenue visibility at the year's start and expected tenders within the European Union. Johansen highlighted Netcompany's investment appeal through strong organic growth, high margins, significant free cash flow, and a commitment to returning value to shareholders through buyback programs or dividends.

Change Is Needed In The Moving Industry – Here’s How Muvr.io Is Revolutionizing It

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Moving your belongings, picking up Marketplace purchases, and moving large amounts of storage or home waste just got easier thanks to Muvr.io. The on-demand moving app company is setting out to revolutionize an industry known for customer and worker dissatisfaction. Vying to be the Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UBER) of moving, Muvr offers customers transparent pricing, quality service and on-demand booking, all through its easy-to-use mobile app. Users pick the date for the move and number of boxes, and Muvr takes it from there. Muvr is also trailblazing in worker satisfaction. It treats its drivers and movers fairly, paying them a competitive rate and letting them choose when and how much they work. The positive impact there, then flows on to benefit clients. It’s something founder Rico Suarez, a professional mover for years, says wasn’t always afforded workers in the moving industry. “In the early days of my career as a young and ambitious mover, I experienced firsthand the harsh realities of an industry where workers were often taken advantage of and undervalued,” says Suarez. “I toiled tirelessly, dedicating long hours and immense physical effort to help people move their cherished possessions, only to be met with low pay, little care, and an overall lack of respect. This was a turning point for me.” Out of that frustration, Suarez launched Muvr in 2023 and hasn’t looked back. From customers to workers, here’s how Muvr is disrupting the moving industry with its on-demand service. People Keep On Moving Muvr’s disruptive business model in the moving industry comes at a good time. Even after many people left cities during the pandemic, people are continuing to move within the U.S. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans move 11.7 times in their lifetime. The $21 billion plus industry is expected to continue growing for the foreseeable future. Beyond the U.S., Muvr also sees a substantial opportunity to disrupt the moving industry. Currently, however, the moving industry is known for questionable service and outright scams. Murky pricing enables companies to hit consumers with unforeseen fees for anything from an extra pickup to additional insurance. People are fed up and are looking for better service and Muvr wants to deliver that by providing customers with full pricing transparency through the app. Muvr’s pricing structure is clear, reasonable and free from hidden costs or surprises. Customers know exactly how much the move will cost them. From booking to paying and tracking, everything is at consumers’ fingertips, erasing the worry and stress that usually comes with moving. This commitment to transparency extends to the company’s gig workers, who are provided with detailed information about their compensation and job assignments. That, says Muvr, sets it apart and should ensure loyalty among its gig workers, as well as retainment of the best movers, which is also important to the success of an on-demand service. Less turnover means more dependability in the services it offers. Its Service Is Resonating The strategy is paying off. Despite being in the early stages of its business, Muvr is already profitable and is optimistic about its growth potential. It runs a lean business, ensuring it is achieving operational efficiency. It also goes beyond moving between apartments, homes and offices. Customers can also hire Muvr for same-day delivery of purchases from any store in its service area. The delivery is backed by Muvr’s multi-million dollar insurance policy. Users can further use Muvr to deliver couches, softs, dressers and other big items purchased through online marketplaces like OfferUp, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and many others. Muvr will go 150 miles outside of its service area to pick up an item. Then there’s Muvr’s junk removal service. With just a few taps on a smartphone, customers can book a team of two insured and vetted independent movers who will come to their location, remove their furniture and take it to a disposal or donation center. Not only does Muvr save customers time and effort, it is also an eco-friendly solution for removing unwanted furniture. Rather than dumping your old furniture in a landfill, Muvr movers will work to find a disposal or donation center that can recycle or repurpose it. To learn more about the services Muvr offers in the moving industry click here. Diversifying In The Marketplace By saturating the dynamic market with its on-demand services, Muvr ensures that its revenue stream remains diversified. That protects its revenue and provides several areas of future growth. Currently, it is operating across California, but it plans to replicate the business model in markets across the country and eventually internationally. It helps that Muvr is growing organically through word of mouth, which not only helps keep costs down but is a testament to the viability of its business model. Satisfied customers are spreading the word because they like the service. They are also following CEO Suarez on Facebook and Instagram at substantial rates. Muvr is shaking up the moving industry and aiming to be the Uber of its industry. For big and small investors it potentially provides a unique way to get in on a company that is trailblazing and transforming an industry urgently in need of change.

Digitalbox CEO James Carter discusses 2023 challenges and strategies for growth

Digitalbox PLC

Digitalbox PLC (AIM:DBOX) CEO James Carter tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that 2023 marked the fifth consecutive year of profitability for the company despite facing significant challenges. Carter said Digitalbox encountered difficulties due to audience loss from key platform changes, particularly by Meta and Facebook, and was impacted by the broader economic downturn affecting the UK and global ad markets. Despite these setbacks, the team addressed key platform issues, enhancing audience engagement for its primary brands, Entertainment Daily and The Tab, in the fourth quarter. Strategic acquisitions, including TV Guide and a substantial social media following through a deal with Media Chain, have contributed positively, with notable audience growth and content amplification. The global ad market remained subdued throughout 2023, with Digitalbox observing a flat ad market and a decrease in the programmatic digital market by 10 to 20%. Moving into the first quarter of 2024, the company has seen encouraging performance, although the ad market challenges persist. Carter highlighted Digitalbox's resilience and growth in such a market, especially with The Tab increasing its average session values by 25%. He also discussed the ongoing adjustments with Facebook and Google's algorithms, impacting traffic and content distribution. Specific updates from Google and policy enforcement by Facebook have presented hurdles, but Digitalbox has managed to navigate these changes successfully. The acquisition of media assets from Media Chain has allowed Digitalbox to reach younger demographics and significantly increase audience sizes for Entertainment Daily and The Tab. Looking ahead, Digitalbox is focused on further developing its proprietary ad stack, Graphene, exploring new acquisition opportunities, and ensuring its brand portfolio is well-positioned to handle future platform changes. With £1.9 million in cash at the end of 2023, Carter said the company is prepared to leverage opportunities presented by the current economic climate.

Under-The-Radar: SATO (TSX.V: SATO) (OTC: CCPUF) Bitcoin Miner Reports Strong Position For Upcoming Halving

SATO Technologies Corp.

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga As we inch closer to April, the buzz around Bitcoin's next supply halving is palpable among crypto enthusiasts and investors alike. This event is set to reduce mining rewards to 3.125 BTC per block and stands as a pivotal moment in the cryptocurrency’s life cycle. Historically, such halvings have been the catalyst for bull markets, igniting significant price increases. Following this next halving, many price projections are well above $100,000, though such estimates are naturally speculative. However, this impending halving heralds a major change in the Bitcoin mining industry, where only those with the most efficient technology and access to low-cost energy can thrive. Many miners will likely struggle to stay profitable with the smaller block rewards, but those that survive have the potential to far exceed the movement in Bitcoin’s price. SATO Technologies: Undiscovered Gem In Bitcoin Mining For Upcoming Halving? Among the players well-positioned for the upcoming Bitcoin halving is SATO Technologies (TSX.V: SATO) (OTC: CCPUF) (“SATO”), a company that reports demonstrating strong revenue growth, profitability and cash flows, underscoring its status as an undiscovered gem in the Bitcoin mining sector. Founded in 2017 and listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange, SATO stands out for its industry-leading mining efficiency and disciplined cost structure, ensuring lean operations even in the most challenging market conditions. With more than six years of experience in developing, building and operating a data center, SATO takes a 100% self-mining approach, meaning it exclusively mines for itself without hosting. This strategy is backed by more than 5,500 computers, overseen by proprietary software developed and maintained in-house, and a 20 MW hydroelectric-powered data center in Québec, Canada, that operates on 100% renewable energy. With an output efficiency averaging 77.11 BTC per EH/s on nearly 0.6 EH/s, SATO says it is among the most efficient miners globally. Furthermore, SATO is poised to navigate the complexities of the Bitcoin halving with its strong balance sheet; cash on hand +62% YoY (2023 vs. 2022) and digital assets holdings +126% YoY (2023 vs 2022); reflecting the company’s financial health and ability to invest in growth opportunities. This financial performance is supported by a cost-effective and lean operating model, where site operating costs and other corporate overhead expenses are meticulously managed to ensure high profit margins. The company is also exploring the potential of entering the fields of High-Performance Computing (HPC) / Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Layer 2 Bitcoin technology. SATO’s Vision Into HPC, AI, And Building On Bitcoin (L2’s) Another differentiator between SATO and other miners is that the company's vision extends beyond mining. The company aims to diversify into HPC and AI. Despite the apparent differences between Bitcoin mining and AI/HPC endeavors, the underlying principle of converting electricity into high-density computational power remains the same. By applying its accumulated expertise from Bitcoin mining, SATO aims to develop highly competitive solutions to service the HPC industry like Generative AI. Also on SATO’s radar is building on Bitcoin with Layer 2 solutions with the goal to profit from the expected increase in transaction fees in the future. In pursuit of this goal, it has already made strides by introducing innovative software designed to facilitate the management of ordinals. This technology enables the creation of unique Bitcoin inscriptions and aids in the discovery of rare satoshis, showcasing the company's future potential to add value by diversifying revenue streams and further contributing to the Bitcoin ecosystem. A Digital Golden Opportunity? As the Bitcoin landscape evolves, particularly with the upcoming halving event, SATO stands out as a company prioritizing efficiency and cost discipline. Its unique approach to mining and strong balance sheet potentially position the company as a significant contender pre and post-halving. For those looking for that next undiscovered gem in the Bitcoin mining space, SATO may be worth watching, not just as a Bitcoin mining company but as a visionary enterprise potentially poised to advance the broader digital currency industry. Featured photo by Michael Förtsch on Unsplash. SATO, founded in 2017, is a publicly listed company providing efficient computing power. The Company currently operates a data center tailored to produce compute power for Bitcoin Mining, but may look to expand or add additional data centers for computing power for Bitcoin Mining, High Power Computing (“HPC”), Artificial Intelligence (“AI”), and L2’s.
