To ensure the success of WiSA E, WiSA Technologies has also introduced the Propel program, which encompasses several strategic initiatives. These initiatives include efforts to standardize industry solutions, achieve consistent revenue performance, reduce infrastructure costs and maximize long-term shareholder value. By forging partnerships with TV/audio speaker and chip manufacturers, WiSA Technologies aims to create new revenue streams through enhanced WiSA E technology.

Empire Metals reveals more promising drill results confirming Pitfield project's titanium potential

Empire Metals Ltd

Empire Metals Ltd (AIM:EEE) managing director Shaun Bunn discusses the results from the final 22 reverse circulation (RC) holes at the company's Pitfield project in Western Australia with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. The drilling campaign targeted two key areas, the Cosgrove and Thomas prospects, each spanning approximately 25 km². Bunn highlighted that every hole intercepted high-grade titanium from surface to depth, indicating the presence of a highly weathered cap with up to 15% higher grade at the surface. Additionally, Bunn mentioned the completion of four diamond drill holes with excellent core recovery, pending analytical results. These core samples are critical for mapping geological structures and obtaining metallurgical and mineralogical data. The drilling program comprised 107 holes, covering over 17,000 metres, including seven diamond drill holes. Bunn explained that the company has mapped a giant mineral system over 30 to 40 km in strike length, with the deepest drilling reaching 400 metres. The focus is now on higher-grade sandstone-dominated systems near the surface at the Cosgrove and Thomas prospects. The next steps include delineating chalk exploration targets and determining the tonnage and scale of these deposits. Empire Metals has engaged Snowden Optiro to provide geological expertise and ensure compliance with JORC standards. Snowden will assist in preparing geological models and defining high-grade zones, working closely with the exploration team.

Caledonia Mining reports strong Q1 2024 performance as production and gold prices improve

Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC

Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC chief executive Mark Learmonth takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's first-quarter performance. Caledonia increased gold production from over 16,000 ounces in the same period in 2023, to 17,500 ounces. This boost in production, coupled with a favourable gold price, resulted in gross profit rising from under $6 million to nearly $14 million. However, despite a reported net profit of $2.1 million, this figure included a substantial foreign exchange loss, specifically due to the devaluation of the Zimbabwean dollar. Adjusted for this loss, the earnings per share (EPS) shifted from a loss of $0.29 in Q1 of 2023 to a profit of $0.27 in Q1 of 2024. Learmonth also addressed issues from the previous year, notably the Bilboes project, which had underperformed due to low-grade ore and resulted in its placement on care and maintenance from October 2023. Additionally, the company has managed a reduction in all-in sustaining costs from $1,400 an ounce to the mid-$1200s. Learmonth expressed hope regarding the new Zimbabwean currency, the ZiG, backed by gold, which was introduced in early April 2024 to stabilise and potentially appreciate the financial landscape. Furthermore, the company announced a significant resource update, indicating a doubling of reserves and a 60% increase in measured and indicated resources. The life of the mine for the Blanket Mine has now been extended to 2034 and potentially into the 2040s with inferred material.

Enhanced User Participation: HTX's zero-staking, no-lockup model allows participants to join the event at any time and earn rewards effortlessly, boosting user enthusiasm and investment drive.

Immunic highlights IMU-856 gastrointestinal candidate to mark International Celiac Day

Immunic Inc

Immunic Inc (NASDAQ:IMUX) chief scientific officer Hella Kohlhof joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion on International Celiac Day, in the middle of Celiac Disease Awareness Month, to discuss the disease and the company’s developments in treating it. Kohlhof explained that celiac disease is a severe autoimmune disorder affecting around 1% of the global population, predominantly females. Unlike gluten intolerance, celiac disease involves an immune reaction to gluten, leading to gut inflammation and destruction. The only current treatment is a gluten-free diet, which is not effective for all patients. Kohlhof elaborated on the disease's scientific background, highlighting its genetic association with specific HLA genotypes (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8). She explained that celiac disease is triggered by the immune system's reaction to deaminated gluten peptides, causing inflammation and damage to the gut lining. Immunic is developing IMU-856, an epigenetic modulator, to treat gastrointestinal diseases like celiac disease. IMU-856 enhances gut regeneration and strengthens the gut barrier, improving patients' conditions. Kohlhof detailed the successful completion of a Phase 1b study in celiac patients, which demonstrated the drug’s safety, good pharmacokinetic properties, and positive effects on symptoms, biomarkers, gut histology, and nutrient uptake during a gluten challenge. The study confirmed the potential of IMU-856 in treating celiac disease, and further exploration of its mode of action is ongoing.
