Sarytogan Graphite hits major milestone with graphite used in lithium-ion batteries

Sarytogan Graphite Ltd

Sarytogan Graphite Ltd (ASX:SGY) CEO Sean Gregory sits down with Jonathan Jackson to discuss a major technical milestone with Sarytogan’s graphite now used in lithium-ion batteries. The first lithium-ion batteries have been made using the company’s uncoated spherical purified graphite (USPG), with early tests indicating they outperform many existing synthetic graphite anodes used in electric vehicles. Not only did the company post excellent capacity results, the batteries demonstrated significant repeatability and consistency across all tests, with no noticeable performance degradation after multiple charge and discharge cycles. Sarytogan now plans to continue long-term testing on USPG cells and start a second round of tests on coated spherical purified graphite (CSPG), which involves a surface coating process expected to further enhance battery performance. Finally, Gregory speaks about the upcoming PFS, due in Q3, which will highlight its low cost base and high revenue outcomes. “Sarytogan Graphite is proving itself to be a unique combination of high performance and lower costs due to its exceptionally high-grade microcrystalline nature,” Gregory said. “Investors can look forward to the well-advanced pre-feasibility study quantifying the anticipated financial returns associated with the long list of superlatives that the Sarytogan graphite deposit commands.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744

US Global Investors continues to see strong results from US Global Jets fund

HANetf

US Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide insights into the company's U.S. Global Jets fund, which was initiated in 2015. The fund's performance and the aviation industry have witnessed a rebound following the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Holmes elaborated on the factors driving the fund's performance and discussed key developments in the aviation sector. One notable development is the upgrade of Mexico's air safety rating from Category 2 back to Category 1 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) last week. This upgrade reflects improved safety standards and is a positive indicator for Mexico's aviation industry. Holmes also highlighted an interesting historical trend in the airline industry. Airlines have historically exhibited an inverse relationship with oil prices. When oil prices rise, airline stocks tend to underperform, while they tend to outperform when oil prices decline. This unique relationship can present attractive entry points for investors looking to gain exposure to the global airline industry, especially in times of fluctuating oil prices. The rebound of the U.S. Global Jets fund and the positive developments in the aviation sector demonstrate the resilience of the industry in overcoming challenges and adapting to changing market conditions. Holmes' insights shed light on the investment opportunities within the aviation sector, offering valuable considerations for investors interested in this dynamic industry.

Crypto Whales Shift Focus to the Emerging Meme Powerhouse Meme Moguls (MGLS), Decreasing Interest in Tron (TRX) and Polygon (MATIC)

Meme Moguls

As market growth slowed in January, crypto whales are shifting their focus to an emerging new project, Meme Moguls. Meme Moguls experienced significant gains over the last few months and is now attracting TRON and Polygon investors, who are selling their tokens due to recent poor performances. Will Meme Moguls Hit 100x Returns In 2024? Since its presale started, Meme Moguls increased in value by 90%. This rapidly expanding P2E project is now expected to take the market by storm. After its presale ends on February 28, Meme Moguls will be listed on Uniswap and several other exchanges that will be announced over the upcoming weeks. This significant milestone is expected to take Meme Moguls to new heights. Meme Moguls is a play-to-earn (P2E) platform that lets players build their investing knowledge. The platform showcases several game modes and includes a virtual stock market where investors will be able to trade meme assets. During each game mode, players will have the opportunity to win prizes, most of which can be redeemed for cryptocurrency. The Meme Moguls development team will showcase a game preview over the next week, which will give investors further insights into different game modes, features, and more. As the Meme Moguls presale starts to sell out, experts predict that it will soon enter the 6th stage of its presale. After hitting this milestone, $MGLS tokens will increase from $0.0036 to $0.0042, its final price before being listed later this month. Investors who buy tokens before the Meme Moguls presale ends will still get a 30% buy bonus. Furthermore, active investors could potentially win giveaways, which have been awarded throughout each presale round. Visit Meme Moguls TRON Rallies 18% In January TRON was one of the best-performing stablecoins in January. Its value surged by 18.76%, and as a result, thousands of investors diversified their portfolios with TRON. This was a much-needed boost for the TRON ecosystem, which has faced several declines over the last few months following controversies with the project's founder. Last year, TRON founder Justin Sun faced several charges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. While these allegations don’t directly impact TRON, they have created legal uncertainty around the project, thus slowing its growth. Nonetheless, TRON continues to expand. The developers are currently working on a new partnership with ChainGPT, which could be a great addition to the TRON ecosystem. TRON is currently trading at $0.1229, and its price increased by 4.97% over the last week. Crypto Whales Sell Polygon Polygon (MATIC) has faced several challenges in 2024. After its poor price performance, Polygon's daily transaction volume has dropped by 31.7% in a month, and Polygon has dropped out of the top 15 most traded cryptocurrencies. Whales are now losing confidence in Polygon’s following its poor user activity. As a result, record amounts of MATIC tokens have been removed from exchanges. This has caused some experts to question Polygon’s future, with some suggesting that the project may be losing its investors to competitors. According to Polygon’s network data, bridging activity also fell over the last month, which has further shaken whale confidence. Having increased by just 3.5% in 30 days, investors could start to diversify their portfolios and sell their Polygon holdings if the project fails to gain momentum.
