Beat The Silent Disease of Osteoporosis with LAC, Before It’s Too Late!

Beat The Silent Disease of Osteoporosis with LAC, Before It’s Too Late!

SINGAPORE, Nov 18, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Despite Singapore’s abundant sunlight, Vitamin D deficiency remains a prevalent health issue, affecting millions of people. This deficiency significantly compromises bone health, leading to osteoporosis, a “silent disease” due to its subtle onset. Research indicates that bone health begins to decline at age 25, making it crucial to address this issue, especially as Singapore’s population continues to age. The urgency to combat this silent epidemic has never been greater.As sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary choices become increasingly common, the impact of osteoporosis is alarming: one in three women and one in five men over the age of 50 in Singapore are affected. Known as the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D plays a critical role in efficient calcium absorption, essential for maintaining bone density and preventing osteopenia and osteoporosis. Without adequate vitamin D, the body struggles to absorb calcium, increasing risk of fractures and leading to deteriorating bone health.In line with World Osteoporosis Day on 20 October, LAC (pronounced as L-A-C) is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of bone health and empowering individuals to take preventive measures to optimise their bone density. By incorporating calcium-rich foods or supplements, ensuring adequate Vitamin D intake and regular physical activity, individuals can significantly reduce the risk of osteoporosis.LAC FullCal® combines calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D in a golden ratio, making it vital for maintaining strong bones, teeth and muscle function. This unique formula not only reduces the risk of osteoporosis but also improves calcium absorption, making it an excellent option for maintaining optimal bone health. With its all-in-one solution, individuals no longer need to rely on three separate supplements to achieve the same benefits, offering both enhanced convenience and cost savings.LAC Joint Protec®, formulated with a proprietary blend of ingredients such as Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Collagen, work together to alleviate joint stiffness and discomfort while enhancing mobility and flexibility.

军事金属公司完成欧洲棕地锑项目的收购

军事金属公司完成欧洲棕地锑项目的收购

温哥华, 2024年11月17日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 军事金属公司(Military Metals Corp.) (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90)(简称“公司”或“军事”)很高兴宣布,其已完成先前披露的交易。根据该交易,公司全资子公司1509149 B.C. Ltd.与1458205 B.C. Ltd.(简称“目标公司”)合并,从而使公司获得合并实体100%的已发行和流通普通股(简称“交易”)。在本次交易中,公司向目标公司的股东发行了10,000,000股公司普通股(简称“公司股份”),每股发行价格被视为0.56美元。此前曾计划由公司承担目标公司在3,499,997份认股权证方面的义务,这些认股权证在交易完成时可转换为公司股份。然而,交易各方已对条款进行了修订,公司不再承担该项义务。根据适用的加拿大证券法律,此次发行的公司股份不受转售限制。关于项目:通过此次交易,公司收购了位于斯洛伐克的三个矿产勘探项目:Trojarová 锑金项目、Tiennesgrund 锑金项目和 Medvedi 锡项目。公司计划根据《国家文书43-101矿产项目披露标准》(简称“NI 43-101”)为 Trojarová 项目制作一份技术报告。此外,公司还计划根据适用的证券法律要求提交一份业务收购报告(Business Acquisition Report)。关于 Trojarová 锑金项目根据公司于2024年10月30日发布的关于 Trojarová 项目的新闻稿,Trojarová 于20世纪70年代末被发现,并在1983年至1995年间成为大规模地表和地下勘探的重点。该期间共完成了63个核心钻孔,总钻探长度达14,330米,同时从1990年开始进行1.7公里的地下开发工作,包括一条300米长的隧道,连接到矿化区脚墙内700多米长的巷道,并在矿化区内设置了7条横切巷道用于采样。这些勘探工作最终形成了一套多卷本的研究成果,涵盖钻探日志、分析报告、钻探平面图、矿床模型研究、岩相学研究、冶金研究等。所有研究由斯洛伐克地质研究所完成,并于1992年发布了一套多卷本的报告。根据这份历史报告,Trojarová 的资源估算使用了苏联解体后俄罗斯分类体系的斯洛伐克版本,而这一体系与加拿大矿业、冶金和石油协会(CIM)制定的资源与储量分类标准并不直接兼容。斯洛伐克地质研究所——负责 Trojarová 所有勘探和地下开发工作的国家机构——将资源分类为“P1”,这一分类在 CIM 分类体系中最接近于“推测矿产资源”。根据 CIM 的定义,“推测矿产资源”是基于有限的地质证据,并通过适当采样技术从露头、沟槽、矿坑、作业和钻孔等位置估算的资源。1992年的报告包含一张表格,列出了十种不同的历史资源估算情景,其中五种集中于矿化系统的锑成分,五种集中于其金成分。这些估算表格分别显示了随着品位提高而吨位减少的趋势。Trojarová 历史资源估算情景(来源:Michel 等,1992)如需查看该图表的增强版本,请访问:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_001full.jpg 在完成合并后,公司将通过确认钻探计划验证这一历史资源估算,以便根据《国家文书43-101矿产项目披露标准》(National Instrument 43-101)将 Trojarová 的矿产资源分类为当前资源。显示军事金属公司在斯洛伐克项目位置的地图如需查看该图表的增强版本,请访问:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_002full.jpg 投资者关系活动:公司宣布已签订与营销和投资者关系相关的协议。根据2024年10月24日的新闻稿,公司聘请了 Clarkham Capital(简称“Clarkham”)提供投资者关系服务,重点针对德国股票市场和德语投资社区,以支持公司在法兰克福证券交易所上市(简称“Clarkham协议”)。Clarkham 协议将于2024年11月18日生效。根据协议条款,Clarkham 将提供包括社交媒体管理、内容创建、分发、数字营销在内的服务,例如在多种金融平台和新闻通讯上撰写文章和报道、在德国翻译和发布新闻稿,以及其他与公司商定的营销服务(简称“Clarkham服务”)。该协议有效期为两个月,公司将一次性支付200,000欧元(约合298,340加元)作为服务费用。Clarkham 服务将由 Sebastian Korbach 代表 Clarkham 提供,联系方式为 +44-20-38839398 或 cc@clarkham.com。Clarkham 与公司不存在任何直接或间接的利益关系,也无权获取公司或其证券的任何权益。此外,公司与 Robert Sinn(简称“Sinn”)签订了一项一次性媒体服务协议。根据协议,Sinn 将提供包括视频内容创建、分发和数字营销在内的服务,这些服务将与一段视频采访相关,并将在 BNN Bloomberg 等投资平台上发布(简称“Sinn服务”)。Sinn 服务将于2024年11月20日开始,公司将一次性支付2,500美元作为服务费用。Sinn 的联系方式为 +352-613-2850 或 ceotechnician@gmail.com,地址为 Suite 508, 416 SW 1st Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33301。Sinn 与公司不存在任何直接或间接的利益关系,也无权获取公司或其证券的任何权益。2024年11月15日,公司与 GRA Enterprises LLC(以国家通货膨胀协会 [NIA] 名义经营)签订了一项媒体服务合同(简称“NIA协议”)。根据 NIA 协议的条款,NIA 将为公司提供包括社交媒体管理、内容创建、分发、数字营销在内的服务,以及其他公司与 NIA 商定的营销服务(简称“NIA服务”)。这些服务将通过诸如 BNN Bloomberg 和 Benzinga 等受欢迎的投资者平台进行分发。NIA 协议的期限为三(3)个月,预计于2024年11月18日左右开始。公司将一次性支付 NIA 30,000美元作为服务费用。Gerard Adams 将代表 NIA 为公司提供服务,其联系方式为 +973-277-7674 或 inflationusceo@gmail.com,地址为 112 Camp Lane, Mooresville, NC 28117。公司不会向 NIA 提供任何形式的证券作为补偿。Gerard Adams 和 NIA 与公司不存在任何直接或间接的利益关系,也无权获取公司或其证券的任何权益。本新闻稿的技术内容已由 Avrom E.

It is the intention of the Company to produce a technical report under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") in connection with Trojarová. The Company also intends to file a Business Acquisition Report for the Transaction in accordance with the requirements of applicable securities laws.About the Trojarová Antimony-Gold ProjectAs first reported in the Company's news release regarding Trojarová dated October 30, 2024, discovered in the late 1970s Trojarová was the focus of extensive surface and underground exploration from 1983 to 1995, with 63 core holes completed for a total of 14,330m, along with 1.7km of underground development starting in 1990, ultimately comprising a 300-meter-long adit connected to a 700-plus meter-long drive in the footwall of the mineralized zone with seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone for sampling purposes. These efforts culminated in a multi-volume study comprising drill logs, analyses, drill plans, maps and sections, deposit model studies, petrographic studies, metallurgical studies and more, culminating in a multi-volume compendium of reports produced by the Slovak Geological Institute published in 1992. The historical estimate at Trojarová was classified using the Slovak version of the newly post-Soviet Russian classification system, which is not directly comparable to or compatible with the western system as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroluem ("CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves"). The Slovak Geological Institute, the State agency that carried out all exploration and underground development work at Trojarová, classified the resource as "P1" in the Slovak version of the Russian classification system. P1 is closest within the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum's ("CIM") classification system to "Inferred Mineral Resources," which is defined by the CIM as that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.The 1992 Report contains a table featuring ten alternate historical resource estimates, five focused on the antimony component of the mineralized system and five on its gold component, each group of five featuring decreasing tonnage at increasing grade for antimony and gold, respectively. This table is shown below.Historical alternate resource estimate scenarios for Trojarova(source: Michel et al, 1992)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_001full.jpgUpon completion of the Amalgamation, the Company will move forward to verify this historical estimate through a program of confirmation drilling so that it is able to classify mineral resources at Trojarová as current, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.Map showing the location of Military's properties in SlovakiaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_002full.jpgInvestor Relations Engagements:The Company further announces entry into agreements related to marketing and investor relations.

COP29: PLN Encourages Global Collaboration for Energy Transition Towards Sustainable Energy Self-Sufficiency

COP29: PLN Encourages Global Collaboration for Energy Transition Towards Sustainable Energy Self-Sufficiency

JAKARTA, Nov 13, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PT PLN (Persero) is promoting participation with the global community during the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29) hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11 to 22, 2024. This initiative is in harmony with the nation's objective of an energy transition towards sustainable energy self-sufficiency.Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Indonesia's Special Envoy to COP29Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Indonesia's Special Envoy to COP29, stated that under President Prabowo Subianto's leadership, Indonesia is committed to sustaining existing commitments made by preceding presidents to accelerate the energy transition and mitigate climate change."We will keep our commitments and develop new programs led by President Prabowo. Among these is an initiative to add 100 gigawatts of new power generation over the next 15 years, with renewable energy accounting for 75% (75 gigawatts). This ambitious initiative will necessitate USD 235 billion in investment," Hashim remarked at the opening of the Indonesian Pavilion at COP29 on Monday, November 11.Hashim also highlighted additional commitments, such as carbon emission reduction through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. Indonesia is prepared to collaborate with multinational companies and other stakeholders interested in investing in this sector."Indonesia is blessed with vast saline aquifers, both onshore and offshore, providing an estimated carbon storage capacity of 500 gigatons," Hashim said.Indonesia invites international stakeholders to join in combating global warming, he noted, as the impact of climate change in Indonesia is part of a broader global challenge. "This journey will take years; it cannot be done overnight. It requires funding, technology, and knowledge," Hashim emphasized. Minister of Environment Hanif Faisol Nurofiq expressed optimism about the role of the Indonesian Pavilion at COP29, not only for Indonesia but also as a platform for global collaboration on climate mitigation solutions."The COP29 theme strongly aligns with our (Indonesian) pavilion theme, 'Sustainability Stronger Together.' This concept reflects our belief that through cooperation among nations, sectors, and communities, we can address climate change effectively," Faisol noted.The Indonesian Pavilion has three main objectives: representing Indonesia's climate diplomacy, promoting Indonesia's comprehensive climate mitigation efforts, and exploring new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities for strengthening climate resilience worldwide. Minister of Forestry Raja Juli Antoni emphasized that economic growth must be balanced with environmental protection, particularly forest conservation. He urged all stakeholders to participate in these efforts to achieve sustainable economic growth. "I encourage everyone to address our current forestry issues together. Collaboration is our collective responsibility to protect and conserve our forests, making them a source of prosperity for future generations," Raja Juli remarked. PLN CEO Darmawan Prasodjo reiterated PLN's commitment to support the Indonesian government's goal of adding new power generation capacity to achieve sustainable energy self-sufficiency. He noted that PLN has developed a roadmap and is expanding partnerships with local and global stakeholders."As the backbone of Indonesia's energy security, PLN is optimistic about achieving this target through a transition strategy focused on renewable energy and continuous sustainable development," Darmawan explained. To meet these goals, PLN has planned a Green Enabling Transmission Line to deliver clean energy from renewable sources in remote areas. Spanning 70,000 kilometers, this transmission network will connect Indonesian islands and transport clean electricity to urban demand centers. Darmawan also stressed that PLN continues to increase its renewable energy generation capacity and harness Indonesia's clean energy potential. "PLN is committed to developing supporting infrastructure, including smart grids, smart control systems, intelligent distribution, and battery storage systems to maximize renewable energy use," he stated. Collaboration, Darmawan emphasized, is essential. "PLN actively participates in global events like COP29 to strengthen partnerships for achieving sustainable energy self-sufficiency." "Global community efforts, including sustainable investments, technology transfer, and supportive policies for renewable energy development, are crucial," Darmawan concluded.Source: Antara for PLN ( https://web.pln.co.id/en/sustainability/sustainability ) Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Understand The Type of Credit Cards Offered By Citi And Find the Most Suitable One

Understand The Type of Credit Cards Offered By Citi And Find the Most Suitable One

SINGAPORE, Nov 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - While most credit cards offer common benefits like fraud protection, they may differ based on their features and benefits. Before applying for a particular credit card, it's helpful to understand the different types of credit cards and how they work. Explore the different types of credit cards below.Travel Credit CardsTravel credit cards offer opportunities to earn and/or redeem rewards against travel purchases. For example, the Citi PremierMiles Card lets cardmembers earn 1.2 Citi Miles for every S$1 spent locally and 2.2 Citi Miles for every S$1 spent in foreign currency. Enjoy two annual complimentary airport lounge visits and get up to S$1 million in insurance coverage. While the exact benefits of a travel credit card may vary, travel cards provide exceptional value for people who travel often.Rewards Credit CardRewards credit cards help cardmembers earn points with every swipe and are an excellent choice for people who want more from their shopping experiences. Some rewards cards offer points with every purchase, others offer bonus rewards when cardmembers shop from categories like fuel, groceries, dining, entertainment, etc. The Citi Prestige Card earns rewards on all local and overseas spends and offers premium experiences like lounge access, golf privileges, concierge services, complimentary night hotel stay worldwide and more.Cash back CardsCash back cards provide cardmembers cash rebates on eligible transactions, making them a great option for people who prioritize savings. Some cash back cards allow redemption through shopping vouchers while others allow cardmembers to apply cash back toward credit card bill payments. Citi offers four different cash back credit cards that offer a range of benefits suited to different lifestyles and preferences. This includes the Citi Cash Back+ card where there is no cap on cash back earned and cash back earned does not expire.Business Credit CardsCorporate or business credit cards are created to simplify payments for businesses. They help business owners create a separate line of credit for their company, enable fast and seamless payments, and offer rewards like points or cash back. Business credit cards can help with expense tracking and management while offering exclusive privileges and deals to cardholders like complimentary travel insurance and corporate liability waiver insurance. Citi offers three business credit cards that offer exceptional benefits and discounts on restaurants, travel bookings and more.Student Credit CardStudent credit cards offer young adults the chance to build credit and enjoy great deals. The Citi Clear Card has no minimum income requirement and allows cardmembers to earn rewards on every purchase and enjoy the safety of secure transactions. Student credit cards are one way for first time cardholders to learn how credit works, make the best of rewards programs like ThankYou rewards, and get an array of discounts through Citi World Privileges.Choosing the right credit cardRemember that it's vital to compare credit cards to properly identify the best fit. Here are a few things to consider before applying for a credit card:Benefits and rewards: Aspiring cardmembers should identify areas where they spend the most and find a credit card that rewards those purchases. Bargain hunters can prioritize credit card rewards programs that favour spending on fuel, groceries, entertainment, and dining. Adventurers and business travellers may travel often enough to justify a travel credit card to earn miles and get airport lounge access.Fees and interest: Credit cards carry annual fees, and premium cards may have higher fees than basic cards. Usually, the annual fees will give additional perks back to the customer in the form of points or miles. Card applicants should be informed about fees and charges before applying for a card.Reward complexity: Many cardmembers miss out on opportunities to redeem their points because they don't understand the redemption process. A complex rewards program with category-specific benefits or many redemption rules may not be for everyone. A simple program with no minimum spends and a flat cashback rate on all or most purchases is ideal for many people. It's also important to understand when rewards expire.The right credit card can make purchases and payments easier and more rewarding. But it's important to consider the pros and cons of credit cards, carefully read the terms and conditions, and consider individual needs before making a suitable choice.Citibank SingaporeCitibank Singapore offers consumers and institutions a range of financial products and services, including consumer and investment banking, credit cards, and personal loans.

APTEXPO 2024 concludes on a high note, offering numerous innovation opportunities for decision-makers across the Asia Pacific’s fashion and supply chain sectors

APTEXPO 2024 concludes on a high note, offering numerous innovation opportunities for decision-makers across the Asia Pacific’s fashion and supply chain sectors

SINGAPORE, Nov 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - APTEXPO 2024, the global platform for top decision-makers in textiles, apparel, fashion and their supply chains, has concluded its inaugural edition after an exciting three days of activities in Singapore. With industry players in attendance for on-stage panel discussions, numerous new product launches and showcases, and high-level closed-door discussions, the convention has elevated the stage for resounding change.From 2000 to 2020, Asia's population grew by an additional 1.7 billion people, which has brought challenges like inventory surpluses and inefficiencies. Export volumes increased by 50 billion units, with an estimated 70% of these products ending up in landfills or incineration facilities. If left unaddressed, these could exacerbate system-level disruptions that affect consumers and their way of life. These challenges present an opportunity not only to responsibly minimise negative externalities and maximise operational efficiency alone in Asia but also to invest in innovation, growth and long- term value creation in its supply chains.Yet, reshaping and enhancing supply chain resilience is a complex, time consuming, and costly exercise that requires the trust and cooperation of active supply chain and business partners. ASEAN countries and the broader Asia-Pacific region are well placed to offer businesses, especially Asian brands, a unique opportunity to strengthen their supply chains, equipping them for a more sustainable future.The diversity in the profiles of the attendees — who represent organisations involved in various aspects of textiles, apparel, fashion and other supply chain activities across various geographies — demonstrates APTEXPO 2024’s central role in connecting the textile and apparel supply chain worldwide.A significant milestone was reached on Day 1 of APTEXPO 2024 by formally signing a collaboration agreement. APTEXPO 2024, with the support of the founding associations AFTEX and CNTAC, inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Lazada Group, which sees both organisations formally agree to come and jointly deploy their capabilities to promote emerging fashion brands from Asia.From Left to Right: Yap Shook Fung, Vice President, MP Singapore, Liang Peng Cheng, Executive Vice-Chairman, Sub-Council of Textile Industry, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT TEX), Jason Chen, Group Chief Business Officer at Lazada & Chief Executive Officer at Lazada Singapore.“Through this MOU with APTEXPO, Lazada will work closely with Asian manufacturers to help them build, promote and expand the reach of their brands to our vibrant customer base across the six Southeast Asian economies where we operate. What sets Lazada apart is our dynamic ecosystem, our vast logistics infrastructure and cutting-edge technology, and our deep market insights across Southeast Asia. We’re excited to leverage these strengths to empower brands, enabling them to seamlessly enter and thrive in this diverse region”, said Jason Chen, Group Chief Business Officer, Lazada and Chief Executive Officer, Lazada Singapore.Delegates after the formal signing of the MOU.“APTEXPO 2024 has shown that innovation in textiles and fashion is a team effort—across geographies, industries, and expertise. The future of fashion is shifting eastward, and APTEXPO 2024 is evidence of the global demand for unique Asian brands,” said Liang Peng Cheng, Executive Vice Chairman of the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT TEX).On Day 2 of APTEXPO 2024, visitors discovered many solutions like Browzwear’s leading 3D apparel design software, which bring tremendous potential for application. Top-tier innovations from up-and- coming Asian designers, representing delegations from the Singapore Fashion Council (SFC), the Confederation of Wearables Exporters of the Philippines (CONWEP), Quanzhou Pavilion and the Ningo Committee of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), were also on display to visitors at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, the convention’s premises this year.On Day 3 of APTEXPO 2024, two formal networking sessions were held, connecting participants for introductions, strategic dealmaking and other forms of collaboration for sustainable textiles production and Chinese market opportunities. Further to the panel discussions held on Day 1 (more info can be found here), they also heard from experts from Douyin, Lazada, AFITTY Solutions and others at two exclusive closed-door workshops that covered industry-relevant discussions on sourcing, branding and investment opportunities in the Asia Pacific region.“We are excited to be part of the inaugural APTEXPO 2024. We believe this was a good start and an excellent platform to springboard the restructuring of the textile and apparel supply chain industry, strengthening the ecosystems between the different markets within the Asia-Pacific region. We intend to work with our partners and stakeholders to continue the momentum that has been set this year and to accelerate the transformation in 2025 and beyond”, said Jason Ng, Managing Director, MP Singapore.Through its programming lineup, APTEXPO continues to deliver opportunities for collaboration and change-making in the textiles and fashion ecosystem.

Military Metals Announces LOI to Acquire Past-Producing Last Chance Antimony-Gold Property, near Round Mountain, Nevada

Military Metals Announces LOI to Acquire Past-Producing Last Chance Antimony-Gold Property, near Round Mountain, Nevada

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 14, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") is pleased to announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Amador Mining LLC, to acquire the past-producing Last Chance (aka Wall Canyon) antimony-gold property ("Last Chance" or "the Property"), located in Nye County Nevada.The property is located 18km (11 miles) due west of the Round Mountain Gold Mine, and is accessible by road NF-157 that runs west from Highway 376 into the Toiyabe National Forest. The nearest town is Tonopah. The elevation at the historical mineshaft on the property is just under 8,000 feet above sea level. Prospecting for gold in the area - the Jett Mining District, dates back to the 1870s, leading to the discovery of the Last Chance historical antimony mine. First recorded production of antimony was in 1915 with mining activity recorded throughout both World War One and Two and then in 1957-58, as well. Mostly gold-focused exploration work by the United States Geological Survey and Nevada Bureau of Mines during the 1980s further documented antimony and associated gold mineralization in the area, leading to the development of a small (historical) low-grade gold resource.Historical mining and drill data indicate that antimony mineralization is both structurally and stratigraphically controlled, hosted in faults and receptive carbonate units, in quartz veins that crosscut gold-mineralized zones indicating that it is part of a younger mineralizing event. Dikes of serpentinized ultramafics are known nearby although this relationship may be more rheological versus metallogenic (exploiting the same structures), given what is known about the age and metallogenesis of epithermal gold deposits in the region.Military plans a program of detailed surface mapping and sampling upon which a drilling program to test the full potential of the system will be undertaken. The Company plans to enter a definitive purchase agreement within 30 days, and has provided a $10,000 USD exclusivity deposit to the seller. The pending acquisition includes the past-producing mine and covers 5 unpatented mineral claims for total compensation of $45,000 USD and includes a 2% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR").The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E. Howard, MSc, PGeo, geological consultant to Military Metals and a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/229931_a9822e8c04a2183d_001full.jpgAbout Military Metals Corp.
