As part of this agreement, SAE is publishing IA9137 simultaneously in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Eric Jefferies, the President of IAQG, explained that the purpose of this agreement was to simplify the development and publication process by utilizing a single, common workflow. “This approach enhances our speed to market while improving the management of global distribution. In addition to these benefits, we are witnessing the first standard to be published globally in multiple languages on the same day.” “The publication of IA9137 is a testament to the long-standing relationship between IAQG and SAE – and the worldwide consensus we foster. Through this new process and the SAE StandardsWorks 2.0 platform, the truly global aerospace community is able to collaborate directly and efficiently on the standards which uphold quality across the industry,” said David Alexander, senior director of aerospace standards at SAE International.

Cooper Metals confirms depth potential at Brumby Ridge ahead of drilling

COOPER METALS LIMITED

Cooper Metals Ltd (ASX:CPM) CEO Ian Warland joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss how a pole-dipole (PDP) induced polarisation (IP) survey has confirmed the strong depth potential of the chargeability anomaly at its Brumby Ridge Prospect within the Mt Isa East Copper-Gold Project. Warland talks through the IP survey, what the upcoming drilling program at Brumby Ridge will look like and the recent, very well supported, $3.5 million capital raise that fully funds the drilling. Finally, Warland gives us an overview of the work to come across Mt Isa. Warland said: “We are ready to recommence drilling soon at Brumby Ridge. It’s highly encouraging to see the strong chargeability response from the first line of IP indicating the mineralisation is wide, steeply dipping and extends at depth. This corroborates what we have learnt from our earlier drilling and surface results." Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

Kangamoon

Bernstein analysts have projected a bullish future for Bitcoin, expecting it to soar to $70K by 2024. Meanwhile, Polkadot has set a new NFT minting record. In other developments, KangaMoon's presale is gathering momentum, positioning itself as the best crypto to buy right now. Bitcoin (BTC) Forecasted To Hit $70k in 2024 Bernstein's analysts foresee a bright future for Bitcoin (BTC). They have predicted that its price could surpass $69,000 and hit $70,000 this year. Analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra conveyed their optimism in a message to investors. They stated that the prediction may take time and may not be smooth. In their analysis, the analysts highlighted the $42,000 to $43,000 price range as an optimal entry point. They described it as a "no-regrets price with asymmetric upside." Meanwhile, the analysts pegged their bullish prediction on four key factors. These factors include the high inflow of Bitcoin ETFs, election impact on the US SEC, macroeconomic conditions, and advisor network responses. At the moment, the price of Bitcoin is fluctuating between $41,971.37 and $43,654.52 on the weekly price chart. A rise to $70,000 would signify an increase of 65%. Polkadot (DOT) NFT Minting Sets New Record On February 6th, Polkadot (DOT) marked a major achievement, minting 4,930 NFTs each minute. This sets a new record for minting speed, surpassing the performance of Solana and Polygon. Polkadot achieved this while creating NFTs for the Web3 game "Forever Has Fallen." It used Unique Network, a Polkadot parachain dedicated to composable NFTs. This latest news comes after Polkadot coin reported increased user activity and the number of developers in Q4 2023. Despite the increase in user activity and mining activity on the network, its native token, DOT, is under bearish hold. Data from CoinMarketCap showed that Polkadot coin has dropped 2.8% and 1.4% on the monthly and weekly price charts, respectively. The altcoin is currently fluctuating between $6.58 and $6.99.

Its utility ranges from offering holders exclusive discounts to rewarding them for their participation. This positions KANG as the best coin to invest in. KangaMoon is inviting meme coin fans to join its platform and earn rewards and other benefits. Regarding security, the platform's smart contracts have been examined by SOLIDProof. This is to ensure a safe environment for users. With an eye on the future, KangaMoon is gearing up to introduce many engaging features.

Hungarian Writer Wins Best Screenplay at Vegas Movie Awards

500NewsWire

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, February 21, 2024 - ( 500NewsWire ) -- Hungarian writer Zsolt Pozsgai won the Best Screenplay award at the Vegas Movie Awards in February 2024. "Stay with me" is based on a true story. Two years ago in Hungary, a minibus carrying illegal migrants crashed into a tree during a chase. All passengers were killed. Except for a young pregnant Sudanese girl who flew out the front window and ran to a nearby farmhouse to give birth. The film tells the story of the farmer and the girl and her newborn baby. Zsolt Pozsgai's work has been extremely successful. His film "Darkening way", shot three years ago, has so far won 389 international awards around the world. His previous film has also won hundreds of awards. The writer-director is now preparing a new film with the support of the Hungarian National Film Fund. However, this script did not win a grant from the film fund, so the writer sent it to festivals, and it has won nearly a hundred festivals in the screenplay category from Australia to India and Canada. And it's not only in the film field that he has been successful: his plays have also been performed in theatres around the world, and he has a drama that has been translated into 24 languages and performed. This screenplay has now won Best Screenplay at the Vegas Movie Awards. The writer-director has already been a finalist in two of his films in Las Vegas in the autumn of 2023, and he attended the event in person. "Stay with me" is now waiting for a producer, someone who appreciates a film written with human situations. Because migration is a problem all over the world, the film could be relevant anywhere. Zsolt Pozsgai likes to mix realistic and unrealistic elements in his films, and this script is one of them. Now he is working on a new script, a dance film. Based on an unprecedented, unprocessed theme. This film could be an opportunity for international dancers to meet, hundreds of dancers in one film. This is the dream, and the author hopes that this dream will be realized, as well as the others. As long as you keep trying to realize new and new dreams, you will live - so says Chinese philosophy. The Hungarian writer and director has several more lifelong dreams.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors LEXSTON MINING CORPORATION Jagdip Bal Chief Executive Officer Telephone: (604) 928-8913 Email: info@lexston.ca The Canadian Securities Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of the content of this news release. Forward-looking statements This news release contains "forward-looking information" under applicable Canadian securities legislation. Such forward-looking information reflects management's current beliefs and are based on a number of estimates and/or assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company that, while considered reasonable, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results and future events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Readers are cautioned that such forward- looking information are neither promises nor guarantees and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties, uncertain and volatile equity and capital markets, lack of available capital, actual results of exploration activities, environmental risks, future prices of base and other metals, operating risks, accidents, labour issues, objections by aboriginal people, delays in obtaining governmental approvals and permits, obtaining consents of aboriginal people and other risks in the mining industry. These statements include but are not limited to obtaining exploration permits, possible acquisitions and exploration of uranium or other properties, liquidity of the common shares of the Company and future financings of the Company. These statements reflect management's current estimates, beliefs, intentions, and expectations. They are not guarantees of future performance. The Company cautions that all forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and that actual performance may be affected by many material factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Such factors include, among other things: risks and uncertainties relating to the acquisition of new properties, liquidity of the common shares of the Company, financings, the market valuing the Company in a manner not anticipated by management of the Company. Accordingly, actual and future events, conditions and results may differ materially from the estimates, beliefs, intentions and expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking information. Except as required under applicable securities legislation, the Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise forward-looking information. The Company is presently an exploration stage company. Exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks, requires substantial expenditures, and may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits that can be mined profitably. Furthermore, the Company currently has no reserves on its properties. As a result, there can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
