  • “This transition marks a pivotal moment in our journey,” states exec
  • Management is crafting a comprehensive business plan that substantially expands the company’s growth trajectory

Golden Triangle Ventures (OTC: GTVH) continues to take strategic steps toward expanding and positioning the company for fundamental business income and financial independence. The latest in these steps is the completed acquisition of Cargo Management Group, a multifaceted logistics and trucking operation (https://ibn.fm/o80WE). According to the announcement, through this acquisition, management has agreed to use 10% of the profits from its logistics business to buy back and retire GTVH stock, effectively reducing the number of outstanding shares on a consistent basis as profits are realized. The buyback will commence once the full transition of the logistics business is complete and profits of the business can be realized.

A complete shipping, logistics and trucking operation, Cargo Management Group will be a key component in providing support for GTVH’s Lavish Entertainment division. With the acquisition completed, Golden Triangle is now focused on facilitating the company’s assumption of full ownership of the logistics operation, brokerage business, licenses and all associated assets.

“We are confident about successfully implementing our initiatives, maintaining profitability and significantly scaling the operation,” said Lavish Entertainment president and COO Marco Antonio Moreno. “Our goal is to secure premium, dedicated, high-paying lanes, upgrade our existing equipment, strengthen all operations and expand our business into more lucrative markets, which further supports our other internal projects. This transition marks a pivotal moment in our journey, as we are now boots on the ground working towards a seamless integration, transition and a complete business enhancement on all fronts.”

The acquisition of Cargo Management Group brings a time-tested, proven performer into the Golden Triangle community. Cargo Management Group reported close to $3 million in top-line revenue last year. In addition, the company currently has contracts with numerous prominent corporations, including JB Hunt, CH Robinson, Coyote Logistics and Echo Logistics. Cargo Management Group also holds high-paying specialized loads in the gaming industry to transport slot machines to locations nationwide.

Short-term, GTVH and Cargo Management Group are focused on defining the structure and transition strategy for combining a high-performing shipping and logistics operation into GTVH. In addition, key team leaders are crafting a comprehensive business plan that builds on the strengths of the combined companies, which will substantially expand the company’s growth trajectory. Specifically, the plan will include incorporating all types of trucking freight movements and adding heavy haul to the services offered by GTVH and Cargo Management Group.

“This initiative marks the first of several strategies we plan to implement that aim to optimize our capital structure within GTVH,” said Steffan Dalsgaard, Golden Triangle Ventures president. “Our goal is to develop true fundamental business activities that support all our operations. We have successfully implemented the first part of our four-pillar business model that supports Lavish Entertainment and our flagship Destino Ranch project, and our team is now focused on executing a series of other promising developments. These efforts are designed to further our objective of increasing shareholder value across all facets of our company.”

Emperor Metals Inc. (CSE: AUOZ) (OTCQB: EMAUF) (FRA: 9NH) Set to Develop New Open Pit Potential at Flagship Gold Project

  • Emperor Metals is growing the historic mineral resource of 727,000 ounces of high-grade gold at 5.42 g/t Au and an impressive 5.71 m avg thickness
  • Emperor used artificial intelligence and machine learning to create the first 3D & geological model last year, leading it to discover potential for extending an open pit mine above the high-grade underground lenses on which it had previously focused
  • The company has approximately $4 million in working capital to advance its project toward an updated mineral resource later this year
  • Mobilization on an 8,000-meter drill program, coupled with an 8,000-meter core sampling project in the open pit, began last month for this year’s effort

Advanced stage gold explorer Emperor Metals (CSE: AUOZ) (OTCQB: EMAUF) (FRA: 9NH) is looking forward to proving and developing the substantial resource potential of its flagship Duquesne West Gold Project in southwest Quebec, Canada, with this year’s drilling program. 

“Our drilling program is basically going to be 70-80 percent looking at the open pit potential. 20-30  percent is going to be looking at those high-grade lenses in the underground,” Emperor Metals President and CEO John Florek said during a Paydirt Prospector interview last month (https://ibn.fm/ySZpI).

“Now keep in mind, when we introduced this to investors it was just a high-grade underground gold deposit. The revelation last year was that (there may be) potential for a large-scale open pit above it,” Florek said. “So we did some pit optimization. … It’s exciting to have a big open pit deposit above a high-grade underground gold (resource).” 

Florek said the company had begun mobilizing to go back to the historical core and sample within the open pit, doing an 8,000-meter drill program underground along with 8,000 meters of core sampling, trying to add inferred ounces to extend the open pit boundaries.

“Because (the open pit boundary) is really kind of still open to the east and to the west,” he said. “But we also want to drill some of that underground stuff because right below the open pit is those underground, high-grade ounces.”

The site in the historic Duparquet gold mining camp in the southern part of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Rouyn-Noranda, some 500 km northwest of Canada’s capital city of Ottawa, hosts an estimated historical mineral resource (2011) of 727,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 5.42 g/t Au.

Last year, the company used artificial intelligence and machine learning to reinterpret the existing geological model and guide its successful drilling campaign, creating “the first 3D mineralized and geological model” the company stated in a news release last month (https://ibn.fm/s2w0e).

Gold has been posting market gains in recent months and hit a new all-time high of US$2,427 per ounce in May (https://ibn.fm/GWnOr). Major emerging market economies, primarily in Asia, have been increasing their consumption of gold in recent years, centered around China which has historically been the world’s largest consumer of gold but with expectations that Singapore will be the new hub of world gold trading (https://ibn.fm/LA9iM).

The world trends and the resource discoveries at the Quebec site bode well for Emperor’s future.

“Emperor is well funded with approximately $4 million in working capital and will advance the Duquesne West Project towards an updated mineral resource,” Florek said in last month’s news release. “Gold prices continue to show strength, and we are confident that everything is now in place to give our shareholders the best chance of a successful upside on this project.”

Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF) Releases Update on Major Holdings, Operations Amid Rising Demand for Gold and Copper

  • The company has released a fact sheet outlining progress on its high-grade copper and gold deposits in the state of Virginia and in Nunavut, Canada
  • U.S Global Investors reports that gold and copper are “pivotal players” in the global financial market
  • With rising demand as the backdrop, the progress that Aston Bay is reporting at its Canadian and U.S. projects is particularly promising

With gold and copper trending upward, Aston Bay Holdings (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF), a publicly traded mineral exploration company, is strengthening its position in both sectors. The company recently released a fact sheet (https://ibn.fm/IKzqR), titled “Discovering High-Grade Copper and Gold in North America,” outlining progress on its high-grade copper and gold deposits in the state of Virginia and in Nunavut, Canada.

“Geopolitical tensions have escalated, influencing global financial markets, and two commodities in particular have emerged as pivotal players: gold and copper,” reported U.S. Global Investors CEO and chief investment officer Frank Holmes in a recent Investors Alert (https://ibn.fm/om0hP). “These metals are not merely survivors of market volatility but are thriving, charting a course that I believe savvy investors would be wise to monitor. . . . Gold has long been considered a store of value in turbulent times, and now is no exception. Prices are near all-time highs, reflecting its enduring appeal during periods of uncertainty. . . .

“While gold secures its position as a safe haven, copper is making headlines for different reasons,” the report continued. “Often referred to as ‘Dr. Copper’ for its ability to predict economic trends due to its widespread industrial applications, copper has also seen a significant price increase in recent days. The industrial metal climbed to a two-year high, supported by strong global economic activity, particularly surging demand driven by energy transition technologies like electric vehicles, wind and solar.”

With rising demand as the backdrop, the progress that Aston Bay is reporting at its Canadian and U.S. projects is particularly promising. In Canada, Aston Bay’s high-grade Nunavut-based Storm Copper project is being rapidly advanced toward development in an 80/20 joint venture with American West Metals. With American West Metals providing the funds, Aston Bay has no required expenditures and is reporting two pathways to growth at the property: development of high-grade copper at surface and a significant discovery of “Congo-style” sediment that hosts copper mineralization.

In addition, the Storm Copper Project has provided a business model that Aston Bay intends to follow in its second Canadian property, the Epworth Project. The company is exploring this project for its next win. Initial testing shows a 74-kilometer-plus trend of sediment that hosts copper, silver, zinc and cobalt mineralization with chalcocite boulders at surface yielding notable levels of copper and gold in select grab samples.

In the United States, Aston Bay is reporting on two projects, the Cu-Zn SEDEX Belt and the Buckingham Gold Vein Discovery. According to the fact sheet, Cu-Zn SEDEX mineralization and large size have been confirmed at the first property, with negotiations moving forward for additional SEDEX properties as the company reported that “the hunt is on for size and grade.” At Buckingham, the company noted a high-grade, steeply dipping orogenic-style gold vein with soil sampling underway and drilling planned for later this year.

Aston Bay Holdings believes in responsible exploration and carries out its work programs to the highest standards of social responsibility, environmental stewardship and health and safety. The company cares about leaving a net-positive impact on the communities in which it works and engages with local representatives, Indigenous groups and government agencies to build respectful relationships through dialogue and collaborative processes. Depending on the stage of exploration, these efforts may include employment, contracting, training, community benefits and other agreements.

Aston Bay conducts exploration through safe, socially and environmentally responsible and sustainable work practices. The company embeds core values of health and safety throughout its operations by adhering to strict health and safety standards and practices that meet and/or exceed industry standards and government codes and regulations.

“In line with our ongoing evolution, this joint venture with Nick aligns with ECGI’s new direction, emphasizing a commitment to building luxury brands,” said Jamie Steigerwald, CEO of ECGI, in a December 28 news release.

Several months later, in June 2024, ECGI announced an LOI to acquire Pacific Saddlery, now a renowned manufacturer and retailer of luxury equestrian tack, apparel, and accessories. Under the agreement, ECGI will acquire all outstanding shares of Pacific Saddlery in exchange for $5 million in ECGI-restricted shares (https://ibn.fm/YZnta).

“We are thrilled to finalize this acquisition and further our commitment to building high-quality, luxury brands,” said Jamie Steigerwald, CEO of ECGI Holdings. “Nick Collins brings unparalleled experience and a deep understanding of the equestrian luxury market, which will be invaluable as we integrate Pacific Saddlery into our portfolio.”

This acquisition, ECGI said, strategically aligns with the company’s objectives of expanding its presence in the luxury brands sector, marking a significant step in its efforts. It is expected to generate new recurring revenue streams and enable ECGI to capture a share of the luxury equestrian market and, importantly, to grow within the broader global equestrian market. The overall equestrian market is huge, and  is segmented into the equestrian apparel market and the equestrian equipment and tack market which is a valuable point of entry.

The research company expects the market to grow from $11 billion in 2023 to $17 billion by 2032 (https://ibn.fm/a7ekl). This growth, which has seen companies like Pacific Saddlery offer a wide range of specialized gear and accessories, is driven by the strong emphasis on both rider and horse comfort, safety, and performance, as well as the increasing participation in equestrian sports (https://ibn.fm/AAcbh).

Following the consummation of the partnership, Collins will take up the role of president of ECGI, with Steigerwald assuming the additional role of president of Pacific Saddlery. The duo will serve as co-chairmen of ECGI. The company believes this leadership structure is designed to drive the growth and innovation of both companies.

Collins brings more than 25 years of expertise in equestrian luxury goods. He founded Rolling Meadows, created the Allon and Renard et Cheval equestrian brands, and played an important role in creating and launching Kaval.com.

“This partnership with ECGI is a significant step forward for Pacific Saddlery. Together, we are poised to elevate our brand and expand our presence in the luxury equestrian marketplace. Our shared vision and combined resources will create unique and memorable products for our customers,” said Collins of the partnership with ECGI.

Bebuzee Inc. (BBUZ) Marks a ‘Significant Milestone’ with the Integration of New Live Streaming Features into Its Revolutionary Super App

  • Bebuzee is a leading social media and digital entertainment platform dedicated to providing innovative and engaging experiences for its users
  • The company recently launched its “super app”, set to redefine the digital landscape by combining multiple services into a single intuitive platform
  • As part of Bebuzee’s commitment of catering to the ever-evolving needs of modern social media users, the company has now launched two groundbreaking live streaming features in its super app
  • The features include a TikTok-style live streaming offering that allows users to broadcast short, engaging live videos to their followers in real time, and a YouTube-style live streaming feature that supports longer live broadcasts
  • The rollout of live streaming features marks a significant milestone in Bebuzee’s journey to transform the digital entertainment landscape

The Digital 2024: Global Overview Report, published by DataReportal in partnership with We Are Social and Meltwater, revealed that 22.7% of social media users aged 16 to 64 cite watching live streams as their main reason for using social media platforms (https://ibn.fm/OvEUD). This was a marginal decrease from the 23.7% recorded in the Digital 2023: Global Overview Report (https://ibn.fm/I4aVA).

Interestingly, for the second year running, watching live streams outranked reasons such as making new contacts, seeing content from users’ favorite brands, watching or following sports, networking or research, following celebrities or influencers, and posting life updates. This relatively high interest in live streaming among social media users has not gone unnoticed, with social media companies introducing live streaming features to keep users on their platforms longer and satisfy the needs of users who love watching live streams.

One such company is Bebuzee (OTC: BBUZ), a leading social media and digital entertainment platform dedicated to providing innovative and engaging experiences for its users. Bebuzee recently launched two groundbreaking live streaming features in its revolutionary super app: a live streaming feature that supports short live broadcasts and another that supports longer, more in-depth live broadcasts (https://ibn.fm/kLR9L).

Bebuzee’s new live streaming features offer unique and captivating experiences, similar to content users on TikTok and YouTube share. According to the company, these new features are designed to enhance user engagement and transform the digital experience for millions of users of its super app. They are also expected to redefine how users experiment with content and connect with their favorite creators and communities.

The company’s first live streaming feature has been implemented in a format that resembles TikTok’s implementation. It allows users to broadcast short, engaging live videos to their followers in real time. Bebuzee notes that this TikTok-style feature is ideal for live interactions like Q&A sessions, spontaneous content such as behind-the-scenes showcases, viral moments, and creative performances.

The second live streaming feature, which Bebuzee has designed to complement its TikTok-style live streaming offering, embraces YouTube’s approach to live streams. It supports longer, more in-depth live broadcasts, making it perfect for creators who want to showcase any extended content that requires a more detailed and immersive approach. This YouTube-style feature is also ideal for creators who want to host live shows, tutorials, or webinars. It includes live chats that enable viewers to engage with the content in real time and interact with the creators by participating in polls and Q&A sessions.

“We are incredibly excited to launch these new live streaming features,” commented Joe Onyero, CEO of Bebuzee. “By incorporating TikTok- and YouTube-style live streaming into our super app, we are providing our users with powerful tools to connect, create, and engage like never before. This is a significant milestone in our journey to transform the digital entertainment landscape and offer a truly unique and immersive experience for our community.”

Launched last month, the Bebuzee super app is set to redefine the digital landscape by combining multiple services into a single intuitive platform. At the time of its launch, the super app offered a host of unrivaled features that merge entertainment, e-commerce, and communication. The comprehensive suite of features was – and still is – part of Bebuzee’s goal to cater to the ever-evolving needs of modern users (https://ibn.fm/prjKk).

As a testament to its continued commitment to cater to these needs, the company completed the integration of the two live streaming features, which expands the all-in-one app’s capabilities even further. As a result, Bebuzee’s super app now combines the best of live content, entertainment, and live content. The super app’s suite of features enhances user engagement and opens new pathways to content monetization, advertising opportunities, and community building.

Historic Nickel Project Shows New Promise: Fathom Nickel Inc. (CSE: FNI) (FSE: 6Q5) (OTCQB: FNICF) Discovers High-Grade Mineralization

  • The International Energy Agency forecasts nickel demand to nearly double by 2050 due EV deployment
  • Fathom Nickel is developing two high-grade nickel projects in Canada’s prolific Trans Hudson Corridor, with recent results from Gochager Lake providing evidence of widespread mineralization
  • Fathom has yet to find the source of the semi-massive to massive sulphide veins at Gochager Lake, a project that Quinton Hennigh of Crescat Capital has the potential to be an economical underground mine

Geologists have a fascinating way of speaking. They use terms like “gabbro” and “interstitial disseminated magmatic pyrrhotite” to describe rocks, and their discussions can delve into great details about ore deposits. But when a geologist gets truly excited about a discovery, like Ian Fraser, P.Geo., CEO and VP Exploration at Fathom Nickel (CSE: FNI) (FSE: 6Q5) (OTCQB: FNICF), the enthusiasm can be contagious.

Fathom is an emerging exploration company targeting magmatic nickel sulphide discoveries to support the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market as the world transitions to full electrification. Nickel prices have been volatile in recent years but are maintaining a long-term uptrend over the last decade. After slipping to about $15,600 per tonne in February, nickel prices have climbed back over $18,000 a tonne, as the conversation about Net Zero Emissions by 2050 is growing louder.

The International Energy Agency sees nickel demand nearly doubling by 2050, driven by rapid deployment of EV batteries.

Fathom’s portfolio includes two high-quality exploration projects located in the prolific Trans Hudson Corridor in Saskatchewan:

  • Albert Lake Project, a 90,000+ hectare project that was host to the historic and past producing Rottenstone deposit (produced high-grade Ni-Cu+PGE, 1965-1969)
  • Gochager Lake Project, a 22,000+ hectare project that is host to a historic, NI43-101 non-compliant open pit resource consisting of 4.3M tons at 0.295% Ni and 0.081% Cu

Fathom began its exploration efforts at Gochager Lake last year. The company recently released results of the Q1/Q2-24 seven drillhole, 2,656 meter drill program at the project that, in Fraser’s words, is showing that historic drilling, while pointing to significant resource potential, “missed some of the very, very good mineralization we are encountering.”

Some of the latest intercepts reached grades upwards of 2.0% nickel and 3.0% nickel equivalent. To put that in perspective, consider that all nickel ore has relatively low nickel content. As such, the industry ranks high-grade nickel ore as that with nickel content above 1.8%. Nickel sulphides, which are facing a supply deficit due to declining discoveries, are preferred for EVs as they are less expensive to process into battery material.

That bolsters the value of each meter of high-grade sulphide drilled by Fathom. And the company is only now beginning to realize the breadth of the nickel mineralization at Gochager Lake. “We are starting to recognize some of the scripters that are pretty consistent with other known magmatic nickel sulphide deposits around the world,” said Fraser.

Respected industry analyst geo Quinton Hennigh of Crescat Capital echoes Fraser’s sentiment. In a recent podcast, Hennigh opined on the strong results and how Fathom continues to hit high grades in every anomaly they locate through electromagnetic borehole surveys.

Within the broad gabbro (rock that forms when magma cools slowly deep underground and generates magnetic nickel deposits), Fathom is seeing semi-massive to massive sulphides that are vein-like in structure, a hallmark of a high-grade nickel deposit. The veins are effectively the final part of the event that formed the deposit, meaning that following them should be the roadmap to the source that Fathom has not yet discovered.

To date, Fathom has completed 16 drillholes totaling 5,543 meters. The exploration has defined a mineralized gabbro unit over a northeast-southwest strike of approximately 300 meters and a vertical extent exceeding 400 meters and remains open in all directions. Looking ahead at the next phase of drilling, the evidence is pointing to a larger intrusive that Fraser suspects to contain 2%-3% nickel. The key is continuing to expand the size of the deposit. If Hennigh is right, Fathom could be sitting on the makings of what could be an economical underground nickel mine.

Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN) (OTCQB: TTSRF) Advances Expanded EV Metal Project in Ontario with Land Acquisition and Impact Studies

  • Ontario, Canada-based Tartisan Nickel Corp. is developing a number of mining exploration projects that will provide resources for the electric vehicle and hybrid automobile battery market
  • Tartisan recently announced the acquisition of additional land to increase the size of its flagship project in Ontario’s Kenora Mining Division to 4,273 hectares (more than 10,500 acres)
  • Tartisan owns two other exploration projects in Ontario and one in central Peru
  • The company is dedicated to responsible social and environmental stewardship as nickel mining’s chain of custody comes under a growing degree of public and investor scrutiny

In spite of the challenges that naturally accompany any foundational shift in a major industry, such as the introduction of EV technology to world transportation, it’s clear that the still developing EV industry is here to stay. Problems will be addressed, infrastructure will be created, and the material and technological demands of the sector will continue to grow.

Canadian mineral and battery metals explorer Tartisan Nickel (CSE: TN) (OTCQB: TTSRF) is confident of this long-term growth. Market forecasts anticipate EV sales jumping from 18 percent of global passenger vehicle sales last year to 45 percent by the end of the decade, and 73 percent by 2040, according to the Los Angeles Times (https://ibn.fm/yROn1).

The company announced last month that it is expanding the size of its flagship Kenbridge Nickel Project exploration site in northwestern Ontario, Canada’s Kenora Mining Division, near the town of Kenora.

The Kenbridge Nickel Deposit hosts a Nickel-Copper Resource with a 622-meter shaft, and the expanded project sits on 4,273 hectares (more than 10,500 acres) that includes 93 contiguous patents and 153 single cell mining claims 100 percent owned by Tartisan Nickel Corp. through wholly owned subsidiaries.

A prior baseline study and a new baseline study collecting aquatic and terrestrial data this year, along with species at risk surveys in compliance with Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, will be used to develop baseline environmental reports to ensure provincial and federal regulations are met for the approval and permitting processes dealing with advanced metals exploration and eventual mine development.

“In addition to excellent field skills in all seasons and environments, (biologist Lindsay Spenceley  leading the baseline study field work) has considerable project management skills,” Tartisan CEO Mark Appleby stated in the Kenbridge Nickel expansion announcement (https://ibn.fm/297lQ). “Aspen Biological can leverage its network of experienced resource professionals to pull together, as needed, multi-disciplinary teams to deliver upon project requirements and timelines in a cost- effective manner.”

Tartisan has additional exploration projects in Ontario — the 5,440-acre (2201-hectare) Turtle Pond Nickel Copper Project and 2,850-acre (1,153-hectare) Sill Lake Lead Silver Project — and the Don Pancho Manganese Silver Zinc Project in central Peru.

“Our high-grade Kenbridge Nickel Project is essential for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles, and is positioned for substantial growth,” a recent SmallCapPower feature on the company states (https://ibn.fm/vxRxm). “And Tartisan’s strategic focus is not just on mining, but on advancing nickel deposits responsibly. We’re aligned with Treaty 3 First Nations ensuring our operations respect both the land and its original stewards.”

Tartisan’s responsible practices position it as a visionary leader in the market as the environmental and social impacts of nickel mining increasingly raise concerns among investors and the general public. The European Union will require battery “passports” for all EVs by 2027, showing verified data regarding battery metals’ raw materials and their chain of custody from mine to market. Volvo announced earlier this month that such concerns led it to introduce its own battery passport with the necessary data (https://ibn.fm/PrBoL).
