YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/LXqBkJ5imDA E-cigarette use remains a public health threat among youth and young adults with more than 2.1 million middle and high schoolers currently using e-cigarettes, according to the 2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey. Nearly one in four students surveyed use e-cigarettes vape every day or nearly daily, underscoring the highly addictive nature of nicotine, which is harmful to developing brains. It doesn’t stop there. A recent study revealed that teen cannabis use has increased by 245% over the past two decades and approximately 15% of high school seniors who have ever used cannabis become daily or near daily users. On February 5th, a media tour was conducted featuring Amy Taylor, Chief of Community Engagement for Truth Initiative and teachers who use the Vaping: Know the truth curriculum. Vaping: Know the truth is a free, comprehensive digital curriculum designed to empower students by giving them the facts about the health dangers of e-cigarettes and providing resources for youth who vape to quit and made available to schools by leading social impact education innovator, EVERFI. Truth Initiative also recently added two new lessons to the Vaping: Know the truth curriculum to equip students with knowledge about the health effects of vaping cannabis. The new cannabis-focused lessons equip students with knowledge regarding cannabis in vaping products, including short- and long-term health effects, consequences, and risks. Since its launch, more than one million students across the country have actively engaged with the curriculum. It is a self-led interactive online course with peer-to-peer instruction. It was developed as part of Truth Initiative’s proven-effective and nationally recognized truth youth public education campaign. In addition to encouraging students to live vape-free lives, Vaping: Know the truth offers resources to help young people who are currently using e-cigarettes to quit through truth’s first-of-its-kind text message youth quit vaping program This is Quitting, which is already helping more than 700,000 youth and young adults on their journeys to quit. The curriculum also has suggested resources available for young people looking to quit cannabis.

ACD/Labs Launches a New Era of Analytical Knowledge Management in Support of Digital Transformation at Pittcon 2024

ACD/Labs

Cloud-enabled Spectrus Manager JS—the next application in the Spectrus JS family—will help R&D organizations enable analytical data access to all scientists. Multi-technique, vendor agnostic data, uniformly assembled with chemical context, is now broadly accessible to scientists for decision-support and suitable for machine access (AI/ML applications). ACD/Labs, an informatics company that develops and commercializes software in support of digitalized R&D, today announced the continuing evolution of their software to browser-based applications with the release of Spectrus Manager JS. The software will help unlock the value of instrument data for lab and data scientists, and help organizations meet digital transformation goals. Spectrus Manager JS provides scientifically intuitive querying of assembled, contextualized experimental results; and interactive access to LC/UV/MS, GC/MS, NMR, Optical, and other analytical data from all major instrument vendor formats. The capability to store interpreted spectral and chromatographic data with metadata creates a centralized database of knowledge; and data can be reprocessed and re-interrogated in the same browser-based application. Heterogenous analytical data is standardized to be machine accessible for data science applications, and available beyond ACD/Labs’ ecosystem. On premises or hybrid cloud deployment ensures the security of data and intellectual property. “We have been supporting R&D labs with tools to digitalize chemical and analytical data-centric workflows for 30 years,” says Richard Lee, Director of Core Technologies at ACD/Labs. “We continue to migrate and enhance our tools that have been central to scientists’ decision-making for decades to improve accessibility, ease IT overhead, and meet the needs of the lab of the future with an API-forward tech stack.

Great Republic Mining

Great Republic Mining Corporation CEO Fred Davidson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share the results of the company's 2023 prospecting, sampling, and ground geophysics program on the Porcher Island Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Property in British Columbia. Davidson highlighted that the field program successfully expanded the discoveries of Vanadium mineralization on the Porcher Island Property, which is strategically located on tidewater, just 40 kilometers from the deepwater, all-season port of Prince Rupert. During the program, 30 rock samples were taken, with values ranging up to 0.17% V, equivalent to 0.303% V205. Additionally, the company utilized 2019 airborne magnetic geophysics data, confirming several distinct high magnetic anomalies. Ground magnetics were also conducted, covering 5 line-km in a core area, revealing numerous localized magnetic highs for future exploration. The results from the 2023 field program confirmed the potential for mineralization of a large-scale stratified Vanadium-Iron-Titanium system on the Porcher Island Property. Historic airborne magnetics surveys also highlighted two other areas, measuring 2.5 by 4.5km and 2 by 3km respectively, which were sampled and returned anomalous vanadium values, warranting further follow-up exploration efforts.

Metal Energy Corp announces downhole geophysical work identifies two Brine reservoirs

Metal Energy Corp

Metal Energy Corp CEO James Sykes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting developments regarding the company's SourceRock lithium brine project near Thunder Bay, Ontario. The project, situated in the Thunder Bay-Nipigon area of northwestern Ontario, spans an expansive area of 915 square kilometers, making it highly prospective for lithium brines. Sykes revealed that a downhole geophysical survey conducted by the company has identified two distinct brine reservoirs in drill hole SR-24-01. The upper zone, ranging from 151 meters to 165 meters, and the lower zone, extending from 474 meters to 520 meters, show promising lithium potential. Importantly, these reservoirs are believed to be stratigraphically continuous with a historic drill hole, BSW-06-04A, located just 5 kilometers away. Of particular significance is the lower zone, which exhibits fluid conductivities at least twice that of seawater, indicating the presence of highly saline brines. Scientific research suggests that highly saline brines often contain elevated concentrations of lithium, making them attractive targets for lithium extraction. Metals Energy Corp's identification of these brine reservoirs marks a significant milestone in the development of the SourceRock project. The company is now positioned to further explore and evaluate the lithium potential of these reservoirs, with the goal of advancing towards commercial production. As demand for lithium continues to rise, particularly in the electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors, Metals Energy Corp is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing market opportunity.
