Golden Cariboo Intersects 204.85m (672.08 ft) of 0.80 g/t Gold from Surface, Including 143.85m (471.95 ft) of 1.01 g/t Gold in Extension of New Discovery at Halo Zone

Golden Cariboo Resources

Vancouver, Canada – September 24 2024 - Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF) (WKN:A402CQ) (FSE:3TZ) announced today an extension of the previously disclosed Halo zone discovery (See September 10, 2024 News Release ) with a gold intersection in drill hole QGQ24-14 intersecting 204.85m (672.08 ft) of 0.80 g/tonne gold from surface, including 143.85m (471.95 ft) of 1.01 g/t gold. This intersection represents continuity of the broad Halo zone, from surface gold mineralization intersected in drill hole QGQ24-13. Mineralization comprises quartz-carbonate veining containing low to moderate concentrations of pyrite +/- visible gold within broad iron-carbonate +/- sericite alteration envelopes. The host rock is variably altered volcaniclastic rocks interpreted to be Takla Group. Drill hole QGQ24-14 was drilled from the same pad as QGQ24-13, which intersected 136.51m of 1.46 g/t gold and is a 45-degree change in orientation towards the north from drill hole QGQ24-13. Gold mineralization at depth in drill hole QGQ24-14 extends 100 meters from drill hole QGQ24-13. See Figure 3 for further context. Golden Cariboo’s President and CEO, Frank Callaghan stated “Our fantastic results further expand the Halo zone discovery to the north. Drilling to date confirms that it’s a continuous and thick zone of gold mineralization from surface, which remains open in all directions. With holes 13 and 14, we now have two amazing drill holes that have been interpreted to be a separate trend from our previous success at the North Hixon zone, 474m to the southeast, where we intersected 263.10 meters (863.20 ft) of gold mineralization in drill hole QGQ24-08. Our full team of geologists and support staff are currently on site in anticipation of the next phase of drilling.” * Interval widths reported at this point have insufficient data to reliably estimate true width. ** Au g/t calculated using fire assay results replaced with metallic screen results for all samples selected for metallic screen analysis ^ Gold grades have been capped at 10 g/t (“grams per tonne”). Drill hole QGQ24-14 tested further to the north of drill hole QGQ24-13’s discovery hole. Drill hole QGQ24-14 was drilled at an azimuth of 282 degrees, an inclination of -48 degrees and ended at a vertical depth of 211 m. The vertical depth at the bottom of the reported 204.85 m intercept is 167 m. See maps enclosed in the figures below and the Company website ( www.goldencariboo.com ) for further context.

Haiti's Last Stand: International Cooperation to Reclaim a Nation

Johann Marx

With a complex crisis threatening the nation's stability and security, the future of Haiti is at a critical juncture. The fundamental rights and protection of Haitian citizens are increasingly under threat by the proliferation of gang violence, rampant corruption, and severe economic challenges. The government of Haiti is increasingly calling for the support of the international community to take a coordinated approach to address these challenges; however, due to the failure of past international interventions and other geopolitical factors, the international community has been slow to respond. The initial financial support and focus on peacekeeping missions may prove futile if not supported by long-term security reform initiatives that weed out corruption and the underlying social and economic issues that fuel instability. Over the past five years, Haiti has seen an alarming surge in gang-related activities. The capital, Port-au-Prince, is now home to over 95 gangs, part of the estimated 200 gangs operating across the country. These criminal organizations have entrenched themselves deeply within Haiti's political, economic, and critical infrastructure. The gangs now control vital resources such as ports, airports, and major transportation routes (Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, 2021). Their expansion is fueled by a range of illicit activities, including narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, arms smuggling, extortion, and political corruption (U.S. Department of State, 2021). The situation is further degraded by the corruption of Haitian politicians, wealthy families, border officials, and even members of the HNP who collude with various gangs to achieve their objectives. The Narcotics Trade and Regional Connections Haiti's strategic location in the Caribbean has made it a key transit point for the international narcotics trade, connecting South American suppliers with markets in North America and Europe. The country's porous borders and weak law enforcement have allowed criminal organizations to use Haiti as a hub for smuggling cocaine from Colombia and cannabis from Jamaica. These drugs often make their way through Haiti to neighboring Dominican Republic, the United States, and Western Europe (UNODC, 2020). The profits from this trade not only fuel gang activities within Haiti but also have destabilizing effects across the region. Arms Trafficking and International Implications Arms trafficking is another critical issue exacerbating violence in Haiti. The majority of firearms in the country are illegal and often sourced from the United States. These weapons, including high-powered rifles such as AK-47s, AR-15s, and more sophisticated high-caliber weapons, provide the gangs with a strategic advantage over the HNP. These weapons find their way into Haiti through both legal and illegal ports, as well as across poorly monitored borders (UNODC, 2020). Human Trafficking: A Global Crisis Human trafficking, particularly the trafficking of children, is a devastating consequence of Haiti's instability. The country has become both a source and a destination for victims of trafficking, including children exploited for forced labor and sexual exploitation. Natural disasters, such as the 2010 earthquake and Hurricane Matthew, have left many children orphaned or displaced, making them easy targets for traffickers. These children are trafficked to the Dominican Republic and other neighboring countries, where they are subjected to horrific abuses (U.S. Department of State, 2021). Combatting human trafficking in Haiti requires a multi-layered approach, including more robust border controls that include surveillance programs, enhanced victim identification and support services, and international cooperation to dismantle trafficking networks. A Proposed Strategy Toward Security and Judicial Reform A multifaceted approach is necessary to move forward, combining immediate security interventions with long-term structural reform initiatives. Ideally, this will require a Haitian-led International Joint Operational Task Force, supported by a Fusion Center, to gather intelligence. The task force would bring together diverse skills, including current or former law enforcement personnel and intelligence operatives with a successful track record in combatting gang-related crime. The task force's composition would include experts in counter-narcotics, human trafficking prevention, financial crime investigation, case management, profiling, interdiction, and cybersecurity. By integrating these capabilities, the task force will address the complex and interrelated challenges posed by Haiti's criminal networks. Former interventions and support by neighboring countries and the international community lacked the required longevity and sustainability. History has proven that previous temporary victories achieved by The United Nations Peacekeeping Forces have had a pendulum effect after their extraction from the country. While these efforts have brought temporary relief, they did not address the deep-rooted issues that perpetuate instability and violence. Without integrating other intelligence and law enforcement initiatives, a peacekeeping force focused primarily on reestablishing order cannot dismantle the complex criminal networks that fuel Haiti's crises. A more sustainable and coordinated approach is necessary—one that emphasizes actionable intelligence gathering to produce accurate data and robust criminal case evidence. This strategy would significantly enhance the success rate of prosecutions, ensuring that criminals are apprehended, convicted, and sentenced appropriately. To support this approach, a comprehensive transformation of Haiti's Criminal Justice System is essential, including the establishment of a special court dedicated to prosecuting cases related to organized crime, gang violence, and corruption. The special court would enable expedited approvals for warrants and court orders, ensuring the task force runs an effective and responsive program. Additionally, with an expected increase in the incarceration of criminals, rigorous capacity planning for the Correctional Services system is crucial. The initiative will require expanding prison facilities, improving conditions, and implementing rehabilitation programs to reduce the likelihood of repeat offenses. This multifaceted strategy would address the symptoms and causes of instability, ensuring a holistic approach to security reform and paving the way for long-term peace and security in Haiti. According to a former Chief of the HNP, previous counter-narcotics programs supported by Haitian allies led to significant successes. However, intelligence gathered within these interventions was not retained after the completion of the program and the subsequent extraction of the international counter-narcotics personnel. For this reason, a major key-critical success factor is establishing an Operational Fusion Center, a technology-rich hub equipped with a multi-mission platform that enables actionable intelligence gathering, data processing, and analysis. The platform will serve as the central gang repository for tactical and strategic situation monitoring, with automated after-action reports and evidence collection that increases the long-term success rate of prosecutions. Mission platforms of this nature serve as an evidence repository supported by advanced technology integration capabilities such as offensive cybersecurity, drone surveillance, geolocation tools, profiling and link analysis, social media monitoring, dark web analysis, and links to criminal and financial databases. Creating a comprehensive gang database provides actionable intelligence packages that would allow for precisely targeting and dismantling these criminal networks, leading to a sustainable impact for Haiti. Continuous monitoring of all law enforcement personnel is required to ensure that there are no links to gangs or potential weak points for exploitation, extortion, and corruption. This will include all HNP staff, port security personnel, and special units, as well as the careful selection and isolation of all Haitian staff involved in the Task Force. Combatting the Financial Power of Gangs Gangs in Haiti are heavily reliant on the proceeds of narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, arms smuggling, and other illicit activities. In collaboration with Haitian authorities, the international community should prioritize the seizure of assets linked to these activities while implementing rigorous financial investigations and asset confiscation programs and establishing specialized legal teams to ensure successful prosecutions. Overcoming criminal syndicates of this nature requires an intense drive to combat corruption and choke the source of their supply lines – the income that fuels and strengthens their expansion. Reestablishing Control Over Critical Infrastructure Gaining control over Haiti's critical infrastructure is essential for restoring order and stability. Law enforcement and interdiction personnel must secure ports, airports, and primary and secondary transportation routes to prevent the movement of illicit goods and the further entrenchment of criminal networks. The operational approach would require comprehensive security assessments and the deployment of advanced detection technologies, including container scanners, body scanners, and surveillance systems. Additionally, the regular vetting and monitoring of port and airport staff would help prevent corruption and ensure the integrity of operations. International Case Studies: Lessons from El Salvador and South Africa In the broader context of addressing gang violence, the approach of President Nayib Bukele in El Salvador offers a perspective worth studying. His approach to deploying military forces and his administration's aggressive tactics in implementing stringent security measures have significantly reduced crime. While these actions have effectively restored order, they also raise concerns about potential human rights violations and the erosion of democratic principles (BBC News, 2023). Bukele's methods highlight the importance of swift and decisive action for Haiti, where the situation is equally dire. This example underscores the delicate balance required in Haiti, where any intervention must be part of a broader, more holistic, and sustainable approach to security and development. The Scorpions unit, formally known as the Directorate of Special Operations (DSO) in South Africa, was a highly effective law enforcement agency established in 1999 to combat organized crime and corruption. The unit quickly gained a reputation for its rigorous investigations and successful prosecutions of high-profile cases. One of its most notable successes was the investigation and trial of Schabir Shaik, a businessman with close ties to former Deputy President Jacob Zuma. The Scorpions uncovered a complex web of corruption, leading to Shaik's conviction on fraud and corruption charges in 2005 (Smith, 2009). This case also laid the groundwork for subsequent legal proceedings against Zuma himself. Additionally, the Scorpions were instrumental in dismantling several drug trafficking syndicates and uncovering widespread corruption within government ranks, demonstrating the unit's effectiveness in targeting organized crime and public sector corruption. Despite its eventual disbandment in 2009, the legacy of the Scorpions remains a testament to the power of a dedicated, multi-disciplinary approach to law enforcement. The question remains whether a government thwarted with corruption will allow the establishment of a task force that will shine a spotlight on their illicit dealings. A Shared Responsibility for Change The crisis in Haiti represents a test of the international community's commitment to peace and security. It demands urgent and sustained action. By adopting a comprehensive strategy that addresses the immediate security threats and the underlying causes of instability, the international community can help Haiti chart a course toward recovery. International collaboration with regional organizations like the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and international bodies like INTERPOL, INL, DEA, FBI, USAID, and the United Nations is essential for a coordinated response. As we confront Haiti's challenges, the question remains: Are we, as a global community, prepared to take the necessary steps to break the cycle of violence and instability, or will we allow this crisis to deepen? The future of Haiti depends on the collective efforts of those with the expertise, resources, and commitment to drive meaningful change. If you or your organization possess the capability to contribute positively—whether through strategic partnerships, financial support, or specialized knowledge in security, justice, or humanitarian efforts—your involvement could be pivotal in shaping a secure and prosperous future for Haiti. We invite you to reach out and explore how you can play a crucial role in this mission.

AI Unpacks Generational Stereotypes, Highlighting Key Differences, but Beer Bridges the Gap

AIport

What happens when you ask generative AI models to depict Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z? You might expect tech-challenged Boomers and avocado-loving Millennials. But what you get is far more interesting and in some cases, unexpected. A joint research project conducted by AIport and Turing Post last month analyzed over 1200 AI-generated images across four different models—Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, YandexART, and ERNIE-ViLG. The findings have revealed both familiar stereotypes and surprising quirks about how AI perceives these generations. Sad Boomers, Happy Zoomers? Contrary to the carefree Boomer stereotype, AI models like Midjourney depict Baby Boomers as introspective, or even somber, often bundled up and gazing wistfully into the distance—a reflection, perhaps, of their disillusionment with the unfulfilled ideals of the 1960s cultural revolution. However, the ERNIE-ViLG model, likely trained on datasets with a more collectivist cultural slant, shows 93% of Boomers smiling. This fascinating contrast underscores the cultural differences embedded in different AI models. Meanwhile, Gen Z’s images are vibrant and diverse, reflecting their reputation as a generation that embraces individuality, inclusivity, and self-expression. The AI-generated images depict Zoomers in colorful, highly detailed scenarios, making them the most visually distinct generation in the study. Generations Through the AI Lens The research explored how generations are portrayed in five key aspects of life: identity, relationships, work, lifestyle, and consumer habits. The AI models revealed consistent patterns and stereotypes; for example, males predominated in the depictions of Boomers and Gen Xers across all four models, while many images of Millennials and Zoomers showed greater diversity and more female representation. Surprisingly, Gen X appears to be the least well-understood generation by AI, characterized by fewer defining features compared to all other generations, likely due to the limited amount of training data available. The one stereotypical Gen X leitmotif that AI consistently identifies is their fondness for flannel shirts—an unmistakable symbol of the 1990s grunge scene worn by Gen Xers who were rebellious teenagers and young adults during that era. As for one (un)expected commonality… It’s beer. Whether they’re Millennials job-hopping or Boomers reminiscing about the good old days, AI consistently showed beer in 34% of the produced images across all generations. Prompt Engineering and AI Insights The prompts for this research were carefully crafted to avoid bias, using neutral phrases like "A Millennial at work" or "A Boomer relaxing." The results offer a telling look at how generative AI models mirror societal stereotypes, often shaped by the data they're trained on. These findings open the door to deeper discussions on how AI reflects, and sometimes distorts, cultural narratives. "Whether we think we can learn about generations from these images depends upon how confident we feel that the training data that went in is an accurate image of the self identity of a group,” explains Senior Engineer and Sociologist Stephanie Kirmer, who analyzed the findings. “For the younger sets, I don’t think we can know how much of it is media representation created by people outside the group versus how much is selfie-style personal expression. Some of what we’re getting, especially for the older groups who don’t contribute as much self-generated visual media online, is perceptions of that group from advertising and media, which we know has inherent flaws." About the Study The study examined the outputs of four globally recognized generative AI models, each with distinct aesthetic and cultural nuances, providing a comprehensive look at how each generation is portrayed visually. The selected models included Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, YandexART, and ERNIE-ViLG, offering diverse perspectives from different regions across the globe. Conclusion Whether confirming or contradicting societal stereotypes, AI-generated images provide a fascinating snapshot of how technology interprets generational differences. The fact that beer remains a unifying theme across all four models shows that, no matter our age, some things—like enjoying a cold one—transcend generational divides.

HOPTEK’s “digital twin” will provide real-time visibility and enable Xtreme to boost operational efficiency and fleet utilization, while reducing driver turnover and deadhead miles, resulting in material cost savings and profitability. Started as a small independent operation in 2006, Xtreme Trucking was formally established in 2009 to become a quality diversified transportation provider, with a growing revenue profile and extensive coverage across the United States. Through HOPTEK’s Dispatch Engine®, Xtreme has leveraged real-time data visibility and dynamic decision-making to drive operational velocity to achieve up to a 20% increase in both Revenue per Hour and Weekly Revenue Miles per Driver – a clear competitive advantage. Travis Nelson, President and Founder of Xtreme Trucking said: “Between supply chain complications, market shifts, and driver shortages, the past several years have been a rollercoaster ride for our industry. Selecting HOPTEK’s Dispatch Engine solution addresses several seemingly intractable challenges, enabling us to optimize fleet utilization, increase driver satisfaction, and reduce deadhead empty miles. HOPTEK’s robust visibility platform enables us to make the best available decision, even as fleets remain dynamic, and routing and load scenarios shift constantly. We at Xtreme immediately recognized the value of HOPTEK’s strategic offering to our operation and how it would support the achievement of our goals.” Transportation and logistics are the backbone of the U.S. economy. Xtreme fuels that economic growth by delivering best-in-class operations, innovative technology solutions, and a talented workforce. The company was seeking a solution that would address very specific issues related to driver miles, route efficiency, and utilization in one platform. Achieving these goals required a unique set of capabilities. HOPTEK’s Dispatch Engine® solution closes these gaps by creating dispatchable recommendations that consider the entire fleet, at any given moment. It gets critical information to dispatchers, planners, drivers, and other stakeholders in near real-time, supercharging efficiencies and profitability. Balaji Guntur, CEO and Co-founder of HOPTEK said: “We’re excited and honored to have been selected as a long-term partner to Xtreme Trucking. Their keen eye for innovative technologies and solutions that genuinely add measurable value attests to why the industry will view Xtreme as a trend setter and leader in small to mid-size fleet tech adoption. We believe they have selected a solution that will enable them to achieve their technology goals, while at the same time supporting their efficiency mindset and profitability targets.” —Ends— About Xtreme Xtreme Trucking LLC delivers superior reefer transportation and dedicated services across the United States.

The Crossroads Summit Offers Investors Looking To Draw Order From Chaos An Opportunity To Discover Innovations To Navigate A Changing World

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga Tickets for the upcoming Crossroads Summit are still available for investors looking to navigate a changing world. It was 1936 when author George Orwell wrote, “We are living in a world in which nobody is free, in which hardly anybody is secure, in which it is almost impossible to be honest and to remain alive.” For many, that sentiment may well describe the world we live in today, one in which it is sometimes difficult to find order amid so much chaos. Recent headlines seem to support this. Over the last year, we have seen stories under headlines ranging from "The U.S. military plans a ‘Hellscape’ to deter China from attacking Taiwan" in the Washington Post to "Climate Change Is Speeding Toward Catastrophe" in the New York Times. Other alarming headlines included “The biggest data breaches in 2024 – 1 billion stolen records and rising” from TechCrunch and “Israel-Hamas War Day 341…” reported in the newspaper the Haaretz Daily. Stories about war have recently become almost commonplace. For example, Al Jazeera recently ran the headline, "Russia claims Kursk counteroffensive pushing back Ukraine forces," and the Financial Times offered the banner, "How Sudan’s devastating civil war became a global battleground." A more recent Newsweek headline offered insight into the state of politics in America with the story "Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump Declare Victory After First Debate." It would seem Orwell’s words have as much meaning today as they did nearly 100 years ago. Given the ripple effects that geopolitical events can have on global supply chains even outside of nations directly involved in conflicts, it’s especially important for leaders and investors today to be able to cut through the chaos. Recent Headlines Don’t Tell The Whole Story Beyond the headline-making news about wars in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, there are more than 50 armed conflicts involving more than 90 countries taking place around the world right now. That is the highest number since World War II, according to the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP). The IEP’s Global Peace Index 2024 points out that "the world is at a crossroads" and "without a concerted effort, there is a risk of a surge in major conflicts." Global Finance magazine recently reported that six countries are currently in recession, with an additional six likely to be, noting a lack of available information to quantify their GDP. These are some of the reasons management consultants Bain & Company point out that “all the ingredients for continued economic uncertainty and elevated geopolitical risk remain present.” This volatile environment was also reflected in the VIX – a key measure of expected volatility in the stock market often called Wall Street’s “fear gauge” – which hit its highest level since the pandemic in August 2024. Furthermore, in a recent working paper, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) determined that global temperature shocks predict a large and persistent rise in the frequency of extreme climatic events that cause economic damage. NBER concludes that a 1°C rise in global temperature reduces world GDP by 12%. The rapid evolution of technologies and associated industries adds further uncertainty to the mix while also potentially bringing promise. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) says that rapid technological change is affecting almost every area of the global economy, society and culture. UNCTAD notes that breakthroughs in big data, the Internet of Things, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, biotechnology, nanotechnology, renewable energy technologies and satellite and drone technologies represent significant opportunities. At the same time, it warns that they pose new challenges for policymakers. Rapid technological change can outpace governments' capacity to adapt in a timely manner, which can affect labor markets and society in general. An Opportunity To Discuss Global Chaos And How To Navigate A Changing World Investors eager to hear how some of America’s foremost thinkers are approaching the current environment of global volatility will have an opportunity at an upcoming conference to be held in Miami, Florida on November 21st and 22nd. The Crossroads Summit was created to help business leaders and investors see the current global chaos as an opportunity to shift perception to find the potential order that may help them thrive in a rapidly changing world. Structured in a very intimate setting, the Crossroads Summit offers attendees one-on-one facetime with some of America’s well known thought leaders in business, economics and technology. Some of the themes that will be discussed include how elections can change legislation that may last an entire generation, the local impact of global economic shifts, how geopolitics impact free markets and how to survive and thrive in an uncertain future. The unprecedented challenges and disruption facing the world today include rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and other technologies like cryptocurrency and fintech innovations. Because the Crossroads Summit is intended to help investors imagine new opportunities, it is fitting that a global financial services company like TradeStation Group should be involved. TradeStation Group is the title sponsor of the Crossroads Summit. Offering online trading and brokerage services, TradeStation Group, through its operating subsidiaries, aims to deliver comprehensive market access and high-quality trade execution. TradeStation Group’s sponsorship of the summit appropriately dovetails its capabilities with the needs of attendees.

CleanCore Annual Results: Net Loss Narrowed, Gross Margins And Gross Profit Up After Shift In Sales Strategy, Company Reports Having 2 Years Runway Capital

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (AMEX: ZONE) is an Omaha, Nebraska-based developer of a patented technology that replaces traditional cleaning chemicals with a safe, low-cost solution that infuses water with ozone to produce an effective all-natural alternative. The company notes that worldwide demand for such products could be nearly $93 billion by 2027. Clayton Adams, CleanCore’s CEO says that the company “is poised to capitalize on this immense opportunity.” CleanCore Financial Results And Business Update Reveal New Strategy When CleanCore reported results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the company noted a shift in its sales strategy. Moving to a direct sales model seems to have been a positive decision. The change resulted in a nearly 20-point increase in the company’s gross margins, which moved from 29.9% in 2023 to 49.6% in 2024, according to CleanCore’s most recent earnings release. While not without a minor hiccup, the change may help CleanCore build on its momentum. Moving to a direct sales model has helped the company fill its sales pipeline with record levels of potential order volume. Still, the transition was slightly disruptive to reported revenue. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, revenue came in at $1.6 million compared to $2.4 million for 2023. Nevertheless, CleanCore believes that the pivot in its selling approach will deliver positive results, and this resulted in a 9% increase in gross profit. While the company is not yet cash flow positive, CleanCore’s current cash position is almost $2 million. The company reports that that should provide the company with more than two years of runway given its current operating revenues and expenses. Importantly, CleanCore says that it expects to have a positive cash flow within 12 months. Other Highlights Of CleanCore’s Fiscal Year Report CleanCore also appears to be trimming expenses while changing its selling tactics. General and administrative expenses decreased by $3.2 million for the year. That represents a better than 56% reduction. While the company reported a net loss for the year of $2.3 million, this compares favorably to the more than $5 million loss it reported in 2023. The potential for positive earnings may come from the type of wins the company reported in recent months. CleanCore has delivered products to key B2B growth sectors within its primary target industries. In just the last several months, CleanCore has closed sales with a leading university in the United States, one of the largest airports in the southwestern and one of the world's leading logistics companies. CleanCore Is Focused On Key Growth Sectors CleanCore believes that the demand for cleaning products that don’t include harsh chemicals and that are healthier for users, employees, customers and other stakeholders is on the rise among its key target sectors. These include hospitality, healthcare, education, transportation and logistics. Just looking at the healthcare market, Ecolab (NYSE: ECL), a company that provides water treatment, purification and hygiene products to hospitals, forecasts that the population the healthcare system serves will grow by 30% in the next 25 years. CleanCore provides solutions to hospitals and other healthcare facilities to keep their physical plant clean and to provide unique hygiene solutions in their food service and laundry operations. The company does the same for colleges and universities around the world as well as at airports and commercial buildings. CleanCore reports that its process is completely natural, so it is simpler, healthier and more sustainable than other disinfectants. Its products eliminate the bacterial odors that often remain after traditional cleaning and that chemical disinfectants try to mask with added fragrance. Adams points out that CleanCore’s “cutting-edge aqueous ozone cleaning systems are being widely adopted in key sectors, including healthcare, education and aviation, given their ability to eliminate harmful chemicals while maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness.” He notes that demand for the company’s products also results from their ability to reduce labor costs for customers. “As more industries seek environmentally responsible solutions, CleanCore is at the forefront of this movement, offering technologies that are not only safer but also more cost-effective,” adds Adams.

American Battery Materials Signs Letter of Intent for a Business Combination

American Battery Materials Inc

American Battery Materials, Inc. (OTC Pink: BLTH), a U.S. based renewable energy company focused on the extraction, refinement and distribution of technical minerals in an environmentally responsible manner, announced today that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) with a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) for a potential merger transaction. American Battery owns lithium mineral rights on a total of 743 placer claims covering 14,320 (approximately 22 square miles) located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah. The company’s leadership believes the Nasdaq listing will enhance the company’s ability to access capital as it grows to become a domestic producer of lithium chemicals. “This is a logical next step for American Battery as part of our growth trajectory,” said David E. Graber, Chairman and CEO of American Battery. “Lithium is on the list of the 35 minerals considered critical to the economic and national security of the United States. Being listed on the Nasdaq will help provide us with the financial resources to reach our strategic goals.” The SPAC and American Battery will jointly raise additional capital via a private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing transaction. The legal structure of the new entity and its estimated value may vary, depending on the agreements between the parties and the possible tax implications of any such merger. The purchase price under the LOI would be the pre-money equity of $150 million, based on information provided to date and subject to confirmatory due diligence, which would consist entirely of stock consideration. American Battery expects to announce additional details regarding the proposed business combination when a definitive agreement is executed. No assurances can be made that the parties will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement, or that the proposed transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all.
