Walkabout Resources nears commissioning of Lindi Jumbo Graphite Mine

Walkabout Resources Ltd

Walkabout Resources Ltd (ASX:WKT) CEO Andrew Cunningham joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with an update on the Lindi Jumbo Graphite Mine in Tanzania, saying the project is on track for commissioning despite a tight schedule and challenges such as shipping delays. The arrival of backup generators in Dar es Salaam marks the completion of necessary equipment deliveries, allowing for the transition to the commissioning and production phases. The logistical hurdles faced were compounded by COVID-related container shortages and increased port traffic at Dar es Salaam, managed by DP World. To mitigate these issues, Walkabout Resources staggered shipments and prepared contingency plans, including sourcing critical spares from South Africa. Cunningham detailed the company's preparations for potential further delays, including securing grid power and the imminent arrival of additional first falls. Stage commissioning of the plant has commenced, with dry and wet commissioning of various circuits underway, facilitating a conservative ramp-up to full production over the next few months. The significance of the Lindi Jumbo Graphite Mine extends beyond the company, representing the first critical metal asset to reach full production in Tanzania and marking the first significant foreign direct investment in the country's mining sector in a decade. The project is closely watched, as it opens amidst predictions of a severe graphite shortfall, with Walkabout Resources positioned ahead of competitors. Cunningham's interview highlights the strategic and operational steps taken to navigate challenges and the broader implications for Tanzania's mining industry.

AFC Energy achieves milestone with first factory acceptance test of 30kW H-Power generator

AFC Energy PLC

AFC Energy PLC (AIM:AFC, OTC:AFGYF) CEO Adam Bond tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has reached a significant milestone with the factory acceptance test of its 30kW H-power generator, marking a step forward in its collaboration with Speedy Hire. This achievement follows the deployment of its first generation 10kW generators from 2020 to 2023, from which the company gained valuable insights and made improvements. The demand for a larger, 30kW generator led to the partnership with Speedy Hire, culminating in the development and successful operation of the new generator, which meets all contractual requirements for performance and operation. Bond said the milestone not only validates the technology but also initiates the sale of generators into the Speedy Hydrogen Solutions joint venture, with the first generator sold and minimum orders contracted through to 2025 and 2026 to maintain exclusivity in the UK and Ireland. The joint venture has already sparked significant interest, especially from tier one contractors in the UK, driven by regulatory changes and major projects that prohibit the use of diesel generators. AFC Energy is responding to this demand by exploring manufacturing scale-up options, including contract manufacturing in Germany. The company looks forward to deploying its generators at Speedy Hire's live exhibition, where around 500 contractors will view the technologies offered by Speedy Hire.

HTX "Trade to Earn" Event Guide: Trade BTC to Get High $HTX Rewards for Free

HTX

On March 11, the cryptocurrency exchange HTX launched an open beta test for its brand-new "Trade to Earn" event, available to all users. This event, shaped by voice from the HTX DAO community, aims to deliver a fresh trading experience and generous $HTX rewards to users. Following the conclusion of the beta period, HTX will soon kick off the official event with an even more substantial prize pool daily. At the same time, the platform's all fee income generated from the BTC/USDT trading pair during the event will be fully used for $HTX buyback to support the stable $HTX appreciation. What is Trade to Earn? The Trade to Earn event is a benefit for all trading users. After successful registration for this event, participants can earn $HTX as rewards by trading designated cryptocurrencies. Additionally, all daily trading fees generated will be fully utilized for $HTX buybacks to support stable appreciation. 100% of $HTX acquired through buybacks will be entirely burned! This event enhances the platform's liquidity through reduced trading costs and improved trading efficiency, offering users better trading experience. Meanwhile, the supply of $HTX will be decreased through the event to enhance its stability and value, which will help attract more investors and users to participate in ecosystem development. Most importantly, this burning method also grants more earning opportunities for HTX DAO users. Through participation in liquidity mining and staking, users can receive more rewards in tokens, thereby achieving wealth appreciation. A Complete Guide to Participation 1. Eligibility ● The event is open to all HTX users, including market makers and API traders. ● Users must have a Rocket count of ≥6,000 and successfully register on the event page. 2. Event Schedule ● Open Beta Test Period: 12:00:00 (UTC) on March 11, 2024 to 11:59:59 (UTC) on March 14, 2024. ● The Trade to Earn event is on a daily basis. A day is defined from 12:00 (UTC) on Day T to 11:59 (UTC) on Day T+1. ● Event rewards will be calculated and updated starting on Day T+2 at 04:00 (UTC). Eligible users can claim their rewards of $HTX after the time. There are no lock-up restrictions for $HTX earned from the event, withdrawable at any time. 3. Event Rules ● Applicable Spot Trading Pair: BTC/USDT ● Reward Calculation: $HTX reward amount = Actual fee generated in USDT * Reward ratio by the order type / $HTX price at 12:00 (UTC) on Day T ● A participant will not receive rewards if either the daily reward limit for the participant or the daily prize pool limit is reached. Estimated Rewards ● The daily prize pool is a fixed value in USDT, specifically 2,000 USDT during the open beta test period. The event will calculate the $HTX amount in each pool based on the $HTX price at the start of the day. For instance, if the $HTX price is 0.000002 USDT at 12:00 (UTC) on Day T when the event starts, and the prize pool of the day is 2,000 USDT, then the total $HTX amount for the day would be 1,000,000,000. ● The $HTX amount in the daily prize pool is calculated based on the actual fees generated, order types, and reward ratios. For example, assume the $HTX token price is 0.000002 USDT at the start of the Trade to Earn event at 12:00 (UTC) on Day T, and a participant generates 100 USDT in fees from BTC/USDT trading pair between 12:00 (UTC) on Day T and 11:59 (UTC) on Day T+1, all as Taker orders. Meanwhile, the fees are generated before the depletion of the prize pool on Day T, and the participant's reward limit is not reached. Then the participant's daily reward of $HTX would be: 100 * 102% / 0.000002 = 51,000,000. "Trade to Earn" serves as an innovative model for cryptocurrency trading and empowerment, provides users with broader opportunities to engage in trading and earn profits. As it evolves and refines, this event, with its distinctive mechanism, will draw more engagement, fostering long-term prosperity and stability within the cryptocurrency market. About HTX Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved over a decade from a simple cryptocurrency exchange to a comprehensive blockchain business ecosystem. This expansion covers a wide range of services including digital asset trading, financial derivatives, wallets, research, investments, incubation, and more.
