ETHICAL SEARCH ENGINE KARMA ARRIVES IN THE U.S.; EMPOWERS USERS TO PROTECT ANIMALS AND BIODIVERSITY BY BROWSING THE WEB

KARMA

KARMA, the world’s first search engine dedicated to protecting animals and biodiversity, is now available in the United States. KARMA utilizes the revenue generated by users’ Internet searches to fund its first non-profit partners, Re:wild and Humane Society International, expected to surpass $100M in [the United States/North America] over the next three years. KARMA taps into the sponsored links market – worth a whopping $300+ billion per year – to help fund rigorously selected non-profit partners recognized for their actions in animal protection and biodiversity conservation. Similar to traditional search engines, KARMA displays sponsored links when users make an online search. However, unlike traditional search engines, KARMA donates 100% of its proceeds to its non-profit partners. Launched in France in 2022, KARMA has received enthusiastic feedback, with more than 150,000 downloads and rave user reviews, averaging a rating of 4.7 stars across the leading app stores. KARMA was also recently selected by Google to be displayed in the Google Choice Screen menu in European markets. As a result, Android users are prompted during setup to choose their default search engine among a list of 12 options that now includes KARMA. The ongoing antitrust case from the U.S. government against Google may also lead to a similar development coming to U.S. markets in the future. With an estimated market size of $132B, the U.S. sponsored links market segment is highly lucrative and a tremendous opportunity for KARMA and its cause. “Search engines are used daily by all Internet users, making them the most scalable of tools capable of having a material impact in supporting financially the urgent needs of animal protection and biodiversity conservation, said Yann Kandelman, Co-Founder and CEO of KARMA. “KARMA is providing Internet users with the opportunity to be part of the solution in just a few clicks. For example, if just 1% of Google users were to use KARMA as their default search engine, we would be able to donate more than $1 billion per year to our non-profit beneficiaries, including our first selected partners, Re:wild and Humane Society International.” Learn & Act with KARMA In a world where a species becomes extinct every 20 minutes and animal suffering is at an all-time high thanks, in part, to 99% of U.S. meat coming from factory farms, KARMA also pledges to empower its users to “Learn & Act.” "Thanks to its "Learn & Act" feature, KARMA provides a news feed of useful information and highlights concrete and easy ways to make a difference on a daily basis. In just a few clicks, users can maximize their impact by signing a petition, registering to try a vegan diet for a week, participating in a citizen science project to identify bird species in their area, and more. More on KARMA’s Partnership with Re:Wild and Humane Society International KARMA has selected Re:wild and Humane Society International-two key players in the biodiversity conservation and animal protection movements- as its first two non-profit partners. The organizations have joined forces with KARMA and will benefit from the $100M KARMA expects to raise in the North America over the next 3 years. “Conserving biodiversity is not just about saving individual species,” said Carrie Hutchison, director of marketing and brand for Re:wild. “It’s about maintaining the complex ecosystems that sustain life on Earth. By working with companies like KARMA, which are supporting our conservation work and expanding our reach, we can protect more of the world’s irreplaceable places for biodiversity, and inspire a global community to act for the wild.” “At Humane Society International, we believe in creating a world where animals are treated with respect and protected from cruelty. Switching your default search engine to KARMA is an easy and free way to support our work. Your internet searches with KARMA can help fund our vital initiatives such as banning the sale of real fur, ending some of the most inhumane factory farming practices, and creating a more compassionate world for all animals,” said Nick Jones, executive director at Humane Society International/UK. KARMA is exploring future partnerships with several other American nonprofits using complementary levers to protect animals and biodiversity. Robust, Versatile and Privacy-Friendly: The Technology Behind Karma KARMA is available on all platforms: through a mobile browser app on iOS and Android, and through an extension for Chrome, Safari, Brave, Firefox and Edge on both PC and Mac. KARMA technology makes it a robust, transparent, and secure search engine: Based on privacy-oriented search engine Brave Search, KARMA’s web indexing is fully independent from internet giants Google and Bing, making it an ethical alternative, alongside other challengers launched in the recent years (Perplexity.ai, You.com, PreSearch, Yep, etc.), in a market traditionally dominated by large, listed companies. Developed based on Firefox’s open-source code, KARMA’s mobile application supports ad blockers and anti-tracking extensions. To ensure the best results to users, KARMA provides a one-click access to a wide range of vertical, independent search engines: unbiased customer reviews from Reddit, royalty-free images from Unsplash, GIFs from GIPHY, etc. Committed to protecting their users’ privacy, KARMA does not permanently store search histories nor resell personal data to third parties. Additional KARMA photos and imagery may be found here: About KARMA KARMA is the first alternative search engine dedicated to protecting animals and biodiversity. Unlike traditional search engines, KARMA empowers users to make a tangible impact on the planet without changing their browsing habits.

Analyst Crypto Jebb Urges To Buy Ethereum Right Now! Cardano Left in the Dust As KangaMoon Bull Run Continues!

Kangamoon

Renowned analyst Crypto Jebb has been talking about Ethereum (ETH) a lot lately and people are starting to listen. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) has been outshined by many altcoins like KangaMoon (KANG), which is on a massive bull run. This Stage 5 presale star has already provided early buyers with 291% ROI, causing many experts to hint at a $0.5 price in 2024. Crypto Jebb: Ethereum Price Will Moonshot Recently, Ethereum (ETH) has been on an uptrend. Over the past 30 days, the Ethereum price soared from $3,409 to $3,557. During that time, its market cap increased from $410B to $427B. According to crypto analyst Crypto Jebb, this bullish trend will continue for the Ethereum crypto. He forecasts a potential 10x on ETH within the next ten years. This altcoin's technical analysis also shows a bullish future. For instance, Ethereum is now trading above its 100— and 200-day EMAs. Additionally, 25 technical indicators are showing green for ETH. As a result, experts have made a bullish Ethereum price prediction. They foresee this altcoin's price hitting $4,489 within Q2 of 2024. Cardano (ADA): Trading in the Red On the other hand, Cardano (ADA) has been trading in the red. According to CoinMarketCap data, the Cardano price sank from $0.73 to $0.63 over the past month. In that period, its market cap also fell from $26B to $22.46B. However, the technical analysis for this altcoin paints a different picture. Notably, the Cardano coin is trading above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. Additionally, this altcoin now has over 20 technical indicators showing bullish signs. Due to all these reasons, market analysts have made a bullish Cardano price prediction - a rise to $0.86 within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): Becoming One of the Altcoins To Watch While Ethereum and Cardano experience ups and downs, KangaMoon (KANG) has surfaced as an unexpected contender. This presale star has already soared by 291%, with 20,000 registered community members. Moreover, KangaMoon has raised over $3.9M and projects reaching $5M before April 2024 ends. Essentially, KangaMoon will develop a Play-to-Earn (P2E) game in which KANG will serve as the main in-game currency. With KANG, you can buy character upgrades or in-game items. Additionally, KANG holders gain exclusive access to challenges for extra tokens or in-game items. Another impressive part of KangaMoon is its dedication to cultivating an active community. As an example, users can earn free KANG tokens by being engaged members before the official launch. This has caused a significant surge in social media interaction as traders eagerly like, share and retweet KangaMoon's content. All these factors have helped KangaMoon obtain over 5,800 holders. Currently, one KANG token costs just $0.0196 - a 291% rise from its starting price of $0.005. Experts remain bullish as they forecast a rise to $0.5 once a Tier-1 CEX lists this altcoin in Q2 of 2024. This price prediction seems plausible with ties to the P2E gaming market, which will reach $885M by 2028. Will KangaMoon Rise Faster than Ethereum and Cardano? With its low $14M market cap, KangaMoon could outshine Ethereum and Cardano. This means it needs fewer new funds so the price can skyrocket faster.

An award-winning coach, writer and speaker, Lajeunesse brings Reigniting the Women’s Spirit to the U.S. for the first time at this Lotus Network event.

Rush Rare Metals Advances Two Key Projects: Uranium in Wyoming and Niobium in Quebec

Rush Rare Metals Corp

Rush Rare Metals CEO Peter Smith joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news about the mineral exploration company's focus on its Boxi Property in Quebec and the Copper Mountain Project in Wyoming. The company recently announced the staking of the Knob claims in Wyoming, comprising 52 mineral claims totaling 780 acres. According to Smith, these claims are now part of the Copper Mountain Project, subject to an option/earn-in agreement between Rush and Myriad Uranium. Under the agreement, Myriad can earn a 50% interest in the project by spending $1.5 million exploring Copper Mountain and increase its interest to 75% by spending a total of $5.5 million. As Myriad meets certain progress thresholds, Rush will receive Myriad shares and other incentives. Conversely, the Boxy property in Quebec, initially acquired for its uranium potential, has shifted focus towards its exceptional niobium prospects. Niobium, a lesser-known element, is highly valued for its application in enhancing steel's strength and resistance, making it crucial for major infrastructural projects and as a component in superconductors and magnets. Recent exploration has revealed a mineralized dike with high-grade niobium samples, indicating a promising potential compared to other niobium mining operations. For the upcoming year, Rush Rare Metals plans to extend exploration efforts at the Boxy property, incorporating more stripping, channel sampling, and drilling to gain a comprehensive understanding of the niobium deposit's extent and quality. The objective is to ascertain the deposit's economic viability and prepare for future development. This exploration phase is eagerly anticipated by the company, given the substantial market opportunity mirrored in the success of similar niobium discoveries, highlighting the potential for significant value creation.

CleanTech Lithium on track with Laguna Verde project as it updates contract application

CleanTech Lithium PLC

CleanTech Lithium PLC CEO Aldo Boitano tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has updated its applications for Special Lithium Operating Contracts for its Laguna Verde and Francisco projects in Chile. This action followed an announcement by the Chilean government regarding the process and criteria for awarding lithium extraction rights to private entities. This necessitated adjustments to the current rules, prompting CleanTech Lithium to resubmit applications for the projects. Boitano highlighted a productive meeting with Chile's mining ministry, noting the company's compliance with the necessary criteria, including community engagement and detailed project planning. Despite the resubmission, Boitano assured that the project timeline remains unaffected, with indigenous consultations and contract details being the next steps. He outlined key milestones for investors in 2024, including government acknowledgment of interest in April and May, potential indigenous consultations in June, and the hopeful acceleration of the awarding process.

Thor Explorations increases its position around Douta project in Senegal with licence acquisitions

Thor Explorations Ltd

Thor Explorations Ltd (TSX-V:THX, AIM:THX, OTC:THXPF) president and CEO Segun Lawson tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has increased its position in southeast Senegal through the acquisition of interests in two licences. This move capitalises on the company's progress in advancing the grassroots Douta gold project to over 1.7 million ounces of gold in global resources, despite a delayed preliminary feasibility study due to extensive processing flow sheet work. Lawson said the licence acquisitions, especially the one adjacent to Thor's existing resources, provide a low-cost entry for significant exploration upside. The terms of the main agreement for the Douta West licence include a total consideration of $120,000, granting the original licence holder a free carry until the completion of a PFS, after which they can choose to fund or dilute. The Senegalese government retains a 10% free carry, leaving Thor with an 80% interest. Simultaneously, Thor is advancing towards the preliminary feasibility study for Douta and initiating exploration activities on the new licences, expecting drill results throughout the current quarter. This includes extending drilling programmes and analysing soil and termite samples to potentially expand the total resource base. In Nigeria, exploration efforts continue at the Segilola mine to extend the life of mine, alongside reaffirming production guidance for the year. Lawson said Thor is focused on deleveraging, strengthening its balance sheet, and achieving a strong free cash flow position. This year's strategic emphasis is on exploring satellite deposits and deeper drilling beneath the Segilola pit, with significant news flow anticipated across its Senegalese and Nigerian projects in the upcoming quarter.

What's next for Bitcoin? ETC Group CEO breaks down ETFs & market trends

HANetf Holdings Limited

ETC Group CEO Tim Bevan discusses the recent volatility in Bitcoin prices, attributing it to macroeconomic factors and specific market events. In an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion, Bevan noted the unexpected strength in the US economy indicated by recent jobs data, which has led to revised expectations for interest rate cuts, impacting risk assets like Bitcoin. The movement of $2 billion worth of confiscated Bitcoin related to the Silk Road case onto a Coinbase account by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has also contributed to the market's instability. Despite these short-term drivers, Bevan views the fluctuations as part of Bitcoin's usual trading range. Regarding the likelihood of an Ethereum ETF in the US, Bevan indicated a negative shift, citing the SEC's increased efforts to classify Ethereum as a security. This classification, driven by interactions with the Ethereum Foundation and the transition to proof of stake, marks a significant regulatory change and dampens the immediate prospects for an Ethereum ETF. Nonetheless, Bevan remains hopeful for developments later in the year. Bevan also commented on the London Stock Exchange's (LSE) decision to launch a segment for crypto ETPs, viewing it as a positive step for market legitimization. However, he critiqued the exclusion of retail investors from this segment, suggesting it could limit market liquidity and appeal. Lastly, Bevan discussed the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, a reduction in the reward for mining Bitcoin, anticipated around 20 April. He stressed that while the halving itself may not instantly affect prices, its long-term impact on supply could be significant.
