Standard Uranium Reports Promising Results from Winter 2024 Drill Program at Atlantic Project

Standard Uranium Ltd

Standard Uranium Vice President of Exploration Sean Hillacre joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide a detailed summary of the analytical results from the inaugural winter 2024 drill program at the Atlantic Project in Saskatchewan. The results highlight significant uranium mineralization across multiple drill holes, marking a promising development for the project. The Atlantic Project, currently under option to ATCO Mining, which funded the 2024 drill program, has confirmed highly anomalous uranium in drill holes ATL-24-002, ATL-24-004A, and ATL-24-005A. These findings align with prospective structural zones and favorable alterations, including dravite-rich clays. Multiple zones of elevated uranium were intersected, linked to the sub-Athabasca unconformity and basement structural zones, indicating the presence of a uranium-fertile system. Hillacre expressed optimism about the significant discovery potential along the untested portions of the east-west conductor system within the Atlantic Project. The company is planning supplementary geophysical surveys over the central claim blocks, which will provide additional target areas for phases II and III of the drilling program. These surveys aim to explore further the untested gravity low anomalies on the western block, potentially unveiling more high-value uranium zones. Standard Uranium's continued exploration efforts at the Atlantic Project highlight the substantial upside for new discoveries and reinforce the project's strategic importance in the company's portfolio. The positive results from the winter 2024 drill program lay a strong foundation for future exploration and development activities in this highly prospective region.

Arrow Exploration Announces Successful Production and Future Plans at Carrizales Norte Field

Arrow Exploration Corp

Arrow Exploration CEO Marshall Abbott joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share significant updates on the company's operational activities, focusing on the multi-horizon Carrizales Norte field in the Tapir Block, located in the Llanos Basin of Colombia. Arrow has successfully commenced production from the first of four planned Ubaque horizontal wells for 2024. This inaugural horizontal well on the Carrizales Norte "B" pad has exceeded expectations, achieving a restricted flow rate of 3,150 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) gross, with less than 1% water cut while still recovering load fluid. Abbott detailed that this well was drilled to a total measured depth of 11,680 feet, featuring a horizontal section of approximately 2,042 feet. The pay zone is composed of clean sandstone, exhibiting consistent 28% porosity and high resistivity, characteristics similar to those observed in previous wells. The drilling rig has now been relocated to the second cellar on the Carrizales Norte B Pad. The company plans to drill a dedicated water disposal well (CNB-2) next. Following this, Arrow Exploration intends to drill three additional horizontal wells on the B pad, with longer horizontal sections expected to enhance production rates and ultimate recovery. Additionally, the company will drill the Baquiano-1 exploration well, which aligns with the trend of the Carrizales Norte field. These developments underscore Arrow Exploration's strategic efforts to optimize production and enhance recovery rates at the Carrizales Norte field, reinforcing the company's commitment to expanding its operational footprint and maximizing resource extraction in the Llanos Basin.

G Mining Ventures Corp Provides Positive Update on Tocantinzinho Gold Project

G MINING VENTURES CORP

G Mining Ventures Corp CEO Louis-Pierre Gignac joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share an encouraging update on the commissioning progress of the Tocantinzinho Gold Project in Brazil. This ambitious project is designed to produce approximately 175,000 ounces of gold annually over its initial 10.5-year mine life and remains on track and within budget for commercial production in the second half of this year. Gignac informed Proactive that ore was introduced into the grinding circuit on June 10, following the receipt of the hot commissioning permit from the Pará State Environmental Agency (SEMAS). These permits allow for the mining and processing of ore, disposal of tailings, as well as the selling and exporting of gold. Once the project reaches a steady state, the Tocantinzinho Gold Project (TZ) is set to become Brazil’s third-largest primary gold mine. To date, approximately 2.0 million tonnes of ore have been stockpiled. This includes 1.5 million tonnes grading 0.77 g/t Au in the low-grade stockpile and 0.5 million tonnes grading 1.29 g/t Au in the high-grade stockpile. The initial phase of hot commissioning will utilize the low-grade stockpiled ore, with plans to progressively feed higher-grade ore as production ramps up. The goal is to achieve a planned throughput of 4.7 million tonnes per year, advancing towards the higher-grade hard rock as mining operations progress. Additionally, Gignac highlighted a merger with Reunion Gold, involving their Oko West project in Guyana. This merger aims to create a larger company and achieve gold production of at least 500,000 ounces annually from the combined assets. The transaction is pending shareholder approval, with a meeting scheduled for July 9th. Contact Details Proactive North America +1 604-688-8158 na-editorial@proactiveinvestors.com

Comcast Partners with Legendary Mexican Rock Band EL TRI to Provide Sign Language Interpretation for the First Time at Upcoming Music in the Park Concert

Comcast California

Comcast has partnered with legendary Mexican rock band, EL TRI to provide sign language interpretation for their June 22 Music in the Park performance at Plaza de Cesar Chavez in San Jose. This marks the first time that EL TRI, whose lyrics are in Spanish, will perform with sign language interpreters to provide greater accessibility to deaf and hard-of-hearing, fans. Comcast recently announced the availability of live American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services at eight Bay Area Xfinity Store locations. Customers who need ASL support can visit any of the eight Bay Area Xfinity Stores, where representatives will utilize ASL Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) to access a live interpreter provided by partner, Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD). EL TRI, one of Latin America's most iconic rock bands, will perform as part of San Jose’s popular Music in the Park summer concert series. The addition of ASL interpreters underscores Comcast’s dedication to accessibility and community engagement. "We are thrilled to be part of this wonderful initiative," said Alex Lora, lead singer of EL TRI. "Music is a universal language, and it’s important that everyone, regardless of their hearing ability, can share in the experience and energy of our live performances. We can’t wait to rock out with all our fans in San Jose!" In addition to the interpreting services at the concert and in its stores, Comcast recently announced $60,000 in grants to three community partners: San Francisco LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, California School for the Deaf and the World Institute on Disability. These grants aim to broaden the scope of digital inclusion and accessibility to deaf and hard-of-hearing students, families, seniors, and community members. The American Community Survey (ACS) estimates that 3.6% of the U.S. population is “deaf or have serious difficulty hearing.” Additionally, according to Pew Research Center, 23% of people with disabilities say they never go online, with 57% saying they do not have a home broadband connection. That’s why, through its Project UP initiative, Comcast is working to address and eliminate the unique barriers to connectivity through a series of efforts, including Internet Essentials, Lift Zones, and skill development and training. Continuing Comcast’s ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, this event, in collaboration with Pro Bono ASL, aims to make the EL TRI concert more inclusive for the deaf and the hard-of-hearing. “This historical event is meaningful because these interpreters are trilingual. They know Spanish, English and American Sign Language which is creating inclusivity within the Latino deaf community which often tends to be left behind,” said Rorri Burton, Founder and Director of Pro Bono ASL, an organization that specializes in bringing immigrant, first-gen, transracial adoptees, queer, multilingual and multicultural ASL interpreters to concerts, festivals and events across the U.S. “We are grateful to Comcast for demonstrating inclusivity and commitment to the Latino deaf community.” In addition to interpreting the iconic lyrics of EL TRI to fans at the concert, interpreters from Pro Bono ASL will translate the announcers of the traditional Lucha Libre matches that Music in the Park will offer as entertainment to attendees before the concert. The matches will feature local wrestlers such as "El Gladiador del aire” El Viento and "Rey de las pesadillas” El Cucuy. Music in the Park details: • Date: Saturday, June 22, 2024 • Time: Doors open at 4:00 PM • Location: Plaza de Cesar Chavez, San Jose, CA • Special Feature: ASL interpretation provided by Pro Bono ASL, sponsored by Comcast About Pro Bono ASL Pro Bono ASL prioritizes ASL access via culturally qualified interpreters. We work with Deaf, hearing and Deaf-parented sign language interpreters; those who are immigrant, first-gen, transracial adoptees, queer, multilingual and multicultural. Representation is vital, and so are the nuances of culture that impact language. Pro Bono treasures the unique intersectionalities that make our interpreters the perfect fit for the spectrum of members in the Deaf community. As our name, "pro bono" indicates, we work "for the good" of the community. About Comcast’s Accessibility Program For more than a decade, Comcast has invested in making its products, technology, and experiences accessible to the widest possible audience while opening new doors to independence for people with disabilities. These innovations include the Large Button Voice Remote, voted USA Today’s Best Accessible Design remote in 2023, and the Xfinity Adaptive Web Remote.
