Revolutionizing Gold Mine Financing: Classic Minerals and AuResources Skip the Bank and GoStraight to Retail Investors

STORM Partners

Geneva, Switzerland, 11/3/24 – In a move set to redefine the gold mining and fintech landscapes, Classic Minerals Limited is partnering with Swiss fintech startup AuResources AG in a trailblazing $60 million blockchain-backed funding initiative. This strategic collaboration is designed to accelerate the development of Classic’s high-potential gold projects, notably the Kat Gap project in Western Australia and the expansive Forrestania Gold Project, using technology to bypass traditional commodity trade financing. The initial advancement of US$10 million from AuResources, supported by Black Manta Capital Partners, will bolster Classic’s production capabilities at Kat Gap and foster the development of the Lady Magdalene and Lady Ada deposits. This funding initiative is not only a testament to the viability and the promising future of Classic’s gold projects but also represents an exceptional opportunity for retail investors to partake in the growth of a leading mining entity. This collaboration signals a major advancement in giving junior miners -mining companies that are either still growing their output or still in the exploratory phase - access to the funds they need to build their operation safely and without delay. AuResources has delivered significant savings in the due diligence, certification, fundraising, and loan management processes, enabling an entirely new business model with better accessibility, security, and transparency. Classic’s Kat Gap project, located approximately 170km south of Southern Cross, has demonstrated significant potential, securing a $41m reserve at 2.5g/t and an inferred resource of $120m additional reserves at 2.19g/t within the area. Following a successful trial mining phase in mid-August 2023, the project has started generating revenue, with gold sales reaching approximately $967,000 across the September and December 2023 quarters. The partnership with AuResources aims to leverage this initial success, facilitating the transition to full-scale production and further exploration. Additionally, the acquisition of full control over the 500km^2 Forrestania Gold Project tenements underscores Classic’s commitment to expanding its portfolio and enhancing shareholder value. The Forrestania project, with historical production and substantial inferred and indicated resources, presents further exploration and development potential. “Being able to do this today represents two years of tireless work and the continuous support of our investors. The whole team is proud this is going forward, and we couldn’t have found a better partner than Classic Minerals,” Ian Cooper, the CEO of AuResources, said. The funding structure, supported by gold “tokens” through distributed ledger technology, underscores an innovative financing approach, offering investors security and transparency. This digitalization of gold assets represents a forward-thinking strategy, aligning with the interests of the mining industry and the investment community. John Lester, Chairman of Classic Minerals, expressed his gratitude towards AuResources and Black Manta Capital Partners for their support, stating, “The launching of this round of funding puts Classic firmly on the international scene. We are now poised to deliver unparalleled value to AuResources, Black Manta Capital, and our esteemed shareholders.” This funding agreement signifies a pivotal moment for Classic Minerals, positioning the company as an attractive investment for diversifying into the gold mining sector. With a clear strategy for development and exploration, Classic is set to capitalize on the inherent value of its projects, promising substantial returns for retail investors and stakeholders alike. This groundbreaking partnership between Classic Minerals and AuResources marks a pivotal moment in investment and mining. It redefines traditional investment strategies by leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize gold assets, offering unprecedented access and security to investors. This collaboration accelerates key project developments and signifies a commitment to innovation and shareholder value. This landmark case exemplifies how technology can transform the gold mining sector, heralding a new era of inclusive and transparent investments. About Classic Minerals Limited Classic Minerals Limited (ASX:CLZ) is a Western Australia-based gold exploration company focused on the development of its high-grade gold projects in the Forrestania Gold Belt. With a strong commitment to exploration and development, Classic aims to become a significant gold producer. About AuResources AG AuResources AG is a Swiss-based fintech startup using distributed ledger technology to revolutionize the gold market. Its primary innovation is tokenizing future gold production contracts and turning them into digital assets via its own platform, allowing investors to easily track their portfolio and access new opportunities on its marketplace. AuResources is planning to integrate with the DeFi ecosystem through decentralized exchanges and lending/borrowing platforms, opening up investment opportunities much earlier in the gold supply process than traditional markets allow.

Blind Review and PathPresenter Partner to Eliminate Expert Witness Bias in Pathology Malpractice Cases

PathPresenter

Blind Review, LLC, the secure digital platform for eliminating expert witness bias, and PathPresenter, the global image sharing platform for pathology, today announced a strategic partnership ushering digital pathology into the medical malpractice space. This alliance will revolutionize how pathology expert reviews are conducted in malpractice cases, transforming it from the old-school, glass-slide model to a cutting-edge, digital model that increases efficiency, streamlines access, and simplifies the traditional pathology review. Blind Review specializes in removing hindsight, financial, and party-identity bias from expert witnesses through a proprietary digital platform and customized process. Once onboarded to the platform, experts are digitally placed into the shoes of the treating physician. As the care-story unfolds, the expert’s opinion is captured at each critical point of care, all while shielding the identity of the attorney, client, and care outcome. Importantly, the process prevents the expert from knowing what comes next without first committing to an opinion based only on the records available at that point in the care – eliminating hindsight bias. PathPresenter is a secure and scalable multi-tenant enterprise pathology workflow platform that has been developed by pathologists with deep domain knowledge and experience. Trusted by over 45 tier-one medical institutions, PathPresenter is the most comprehensive image management/viewing suite available for clinical care, remote consultations, education, and research. Pathologists play a critical role in reviewing medical malpractice cases for disease diagnosis or when timing of an injury or cause of death is in question. PathPresenter has taken the desktop microscope and transformed it into a state-of-the-art digital viewer that pathologists can access anytime, anywhere to review microscopic evidence in a legal case. Utilizing PathPresenter’s cloud-based, clinical consultation platform, Blind Review’s proprietary process is far more efficient and eliminates the risks and limitations that come with glass slides. “Juror’s trust in experts has fallen to levels below where they were before the pandemic, and we continue to see very large, unexpected verdicts,” says Blind Review’s CEO and attorney-founder, Stephanie Franckewitz. “Independent research supports that a blinded expert doubles the chances of a favorable verdict because jurors perceive them as significantly more credible. We are proud to partner with PathPresenter, and we are in good company, as many of the world’s elite medical institutions use PathPresenter on a day-to-day basis in their pathology departments.” “PathPresenter’s partnership with Blind Review brings the practice of expert pathology review within the medical malpractice space into the 21st century,” adds Patrick Myles CEO of PathPresenter. “Whether in the courtroom or in the pathology lab, expert opinion is all about trust. By partnering with Blind Review, we’re enabling a never-before-seen way to restore jurors’ trust in experts.” About Blind Review, LLC Blind Review is the digital platform that provides the infrastructure to eliminate expert witness bias in medical malpractice cases. We deliver a strong competitive advantage to the trial teams who share our vision: Unbiased, reliable, and trustworthy expert opinions. Blind Review digitally places the expert into the shoes of the treating healthcare provider. As the care-story unfolds, the expert’s opinion is captured at each critical point of care, all while shielding the identity of the attorney, client, and care outcome. Simple and intuitive, our cloud-based interface allows robust customization, with the ability to deliver our unique Blind Review process across multiple specialties within a single case. Blind Review’s platform includes seamless integration with a secure cloud-based Radiology PACS system and Digital Pathology system, with state-of-the-art viewers. About PathPresenter PathPresenter is the global image sharing platform for pathology. We are on a mission to help democratize access to the world’s pathology knowledge by connecting pathologists to the vast expertise of their colleagues globally and providing a practical platform to access and use best-in-class AI models. Founded by dermatopathologist and digital pathology pioneer, Dr. Rajendra Singh, PathPresenter has been adopted by 45+ tier one medical institutions for clinical care, education, and research, and has built a thriving community of 50,000+ users in 172 countries to easily view and share digital pathology images and knowledge. ### Media Inquiries: Michelle Rupp 501-658-9277 or michelle@memorableresultsmedia.com PathPresenter is the global image sharing platform for pathology.

Centre for Neuro Skills Promotes Dr. Stefanie Howell to Director of Research Integration

Centre for Neuro Skills

Centre for Neuro Skills (CNS), a leader in traumatic brain injury and stroke rehabilitation services, today announced the promotion of Stefanie N. Howell, Ph.D., CBIS, to director of research integration. “Stefanie has been integral to Centre for Neuro Skills’ research program, looking closely at how we can not only improve the lives of our patients but people with brain injuries everywhere,” said David Harrington, president and CEO of Centre for Neuro Skills. “I’m excited to see the outcomes of our research efforts and how this can give us new insight into improving patient care. Since joining CNS in 2016, Howell has coordinated and designed clinical research studies, written manuscripts and provided education focused on methods for facilitating recovery and maximizing patient outcomes. Howell was promoted to Senior Neuroscientist in 2022 and now oversees the integration of CNS’ original research to expand understanding of brain injury, its causes and best treatment practices in the clinical setting. CNS’ ongoing research includes: Effects of Rehabilitation Following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Stroke CNS researchers evaluate the durability of outcomes obtained during post-acute rehabilitation following stroke and TBI. This will also determine if rehabilitation outcome is associated with future occupational status, life quality, cognitive function, and overall health, including rehospitalization. Traumatic Brain Injury and the Gut Microbiome Years after a brain injury, some individuals develop a complex set of conditions that prevent them from absorbing essential amino acids. The purpose of this study is to determine if altering the diet in these individuals can change their amino acid absorption and reduce symptoms and markers of neuroinflammation. Effects Of Aerobic Exercise and Rehabilitation After Traumatic Brain Injury Exercise contributes to overall health and protects and heals the brain, but the response to exercise may change after a brain injury. Through examining exercise and how it facilitates recovery, CNS hopes to determine the individual response to exercise (and how it has changed), in order to better tailor therapy to each person. Outcome Biomarkers After Brain Injury Patients consent to providing biological samples to help identify biomarkers in blood, saliva, and other tissues that will help CNS increase diagnostic and prognostic capabilities, tailor patient care and determine how much treatment is necessary. This study will allow clinicians to foresee potential risks that may inhibit recovery and aid intervention effectiveness, allowing CNS to better evaluate current and novel therapeutic interventions. Sleep Alterations After Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke Sleep-wake disturbances have been identified in up to 80% of those with brain injuries. Sleep problems are linked to impaired attention, decreased cognitive functioning (including memory and attention) and overall diminished response to rehabilitation. This study will determine the nature of sleep-wake disturbances post injury. Researchers may then identify whether disturbances are related to the type, location, or time since the injury, as well as the impact sleep has on outcome and responsiveness to rehabilitation. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Following Traumatic Brain Injury This is a noninvasive technique of neurostimulation, which uses low amplitude direct current to alter brain cell firing. Studies suggest that tDCS is a painless technique for electrically stimulating the brain with almost no risk of harm. This form of therapy has been studied as a treatment modality for stroke patients but there is less evidence in literature for effectiveness in treating traumatic brain injury. This project will analyze the effects of a three-week program of tDCS on motor recovery and attention/concentration in individuals following a traumatic brain injury. To learn more about CNS and its research, visit www.neuroskills.com. *** About Centre for Neuro Skills Centre for Neuro Skills is an experienced and respected world leader in providing intensive rehabilitation and medical programs for those recovering from all types of brain injury. CNS covers a full spectrum of advanced care from residential and assisted living to outpatient/day treatment. Founded by Dr. Mark Ashley in 1980, CNS has seven locations in California and Texas.

Van Horn Law Group Sees Spike in Bankruptcies Significantly Above National Average

Van Horn Law Group, P.A.

While Epic Bankruptcy, a legal services industry leader and American Bankruptcy Institute partner, reported last week, that total bankruptcy filings increased across the nation by 22 percent in February, year over year, Fort Lauderdale-based Van Horn Law Group, P.A. quadrupled that increase. The firm filed 95 percent more cases in February 2024 than in February 2023 and 84 percent more cases in January 2024 than in January 2023. “As one of the leading bankruptcy firms in the country, we operate at the front end of the trend toward increased bankruptcies,” said Chad Van Horn, founding partner attorney at Van Horn Law Group. “We watched it happen initially with a rush of inquiries from prospective clients, and now, we file more and more bankruptcies each month. We expect this surge to continue through the rest of 2024, reflecting the impact of high-interest rates, in some cases exceeding 30%, consumers are facing.” Van Horn Law Group is among the top bankruptcy attorneys in the country based on the number of cases filed (Pacer.gov). The firm filed 129 bankruptcy cases in January and 125 cases in February of this year. By comparison, it filed 70 cases in January and 64 cases in February last year. Van Horn Law Group’s January percentage of an 84 percent increase in bankruptcy filings year over year also is quadruple the 21 percent reported by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Southern District of Florida. (February statistics have not been posted yet.) Chad Van Horn is a relentless advocate for debtors’ rights in the State of Florida and across the country. He aims to dispel the stigma associated with bankruptcy, empower citizens with knowledge of their rights, and provide access to the legal system. He currently has four offices across the state committed to helping people find their way out of overwhelming debt. The path that led him to become an insolvency professional started while he attended law school at night and worked for a financial services firm, scoping out real estate opportunities during the day. When the real estate bubble burst in 2008, he saw firsthand the desperation of those who were in over their heads. His opportunity was twofold—to help those in distress and to build an important, successful practice. The market situation opened up an opportunity, and he was in a position to help. He points to the company’s mission as the reason for its success: to restore peace of mind to individuals in financial distress by providing first-rate, affordable legal services with compassion, understanding, and respect. Van Horn believes his firm offers justice to those who are shut out of the legal system because of their economic circumstances. Van Horn Law Group is committed to finding and implementing ways to make the system more equitable. Van Horn provides significant pro bono work to those in need. The firm has never turned away a pro bono case. As of January 2024, the firm had handled 328 pro bono cases, translating to a contribution of services valued at $574,000. He is a long-time supporter of all Florida legal aid organizations and currently serves as the board chair of Legal Aid Service of Broward County. Van Horn Law Group, P.A. practices in the areas of personal and corporate bankruptcy, student loan consolidation and litigation, foreclosure defense, corporate reorganization, debt negotiation, civil litigation, debt relief, personal injury, and consumer law. The firm is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale and has satellite offices in Doral, North Miami, and Orlando. For more information, call (954) 637-0000 or visit www.vanhornlawgroup.com.

Meet Xtrades, The Platform That Has Paid its Traders Almost $2.5 Million in Four Years

Xtrades

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Finding success in the financial markets is a challenge requiring investors to continually adapt. Traders must stay abreast of market shifts, get educated on fundamentals and technical analysis and have the proper tools for efficient asset management. In addition to that, while learning best practices, they have to avoid fraudsters portraying themselves as successful advisors online – those selling dubious courses full of subjective knowledge. It can sometimes feel like the blind are leading the blind. The financial markets can feel lacking in other, less obvious ways, such as interactive experiences through real-time digital trading amongst friends or within a broader trading community. There's also a notable absence of incentives for non-professionals with financial skills or technical tools to share insights that could benefit an online trading community. It’s these challenges that the online platform Xtrades works to resolve. An Overview of Xtrades Xtrades is a community-powered trading platform for stocks and options, with a sister service devoted to cryptocurrencies, offering resources such as training videos, daily audio feeds, live trading strategies and detailed analytics through its Discord-integrated application. It features strict price validation for trading signals, emphasizing transparency through stats and track records. Using that data, which includes trading alerts from hundreds of users, Xtrades provides opportunities for users to compete, learn and earn through leaderboards. The platform emphasizes transparency and utilizes advanced features like a Machine Learning Algorithm to enhance the trading experience. Xtrades also allows users to monetize their trading expertise within its community with a ranked-user structure, providing a clear incentive for experts to share their wisdom with up-and-coming traders while working on improving their track record and ranking. How Xtrades Solves Market Challenges Aside from those features, the Xtrades platform tackles key issues plaguing traders and financial markets. To address fraud risks, the platform employs a strict price validation system for signaling. This system ensures that trading signals are executed only if the price is at or near the current market value, using real-time market feeds for precise pricing validation. This feature enables users to receive alerts that accurately reflect market prices to help them make timely and informed trading decisions. Additionally, Xtrades leverages mathematics and technology to constantly refine and enhance gamification and competition within the platform. This approach makes trading more engaging and rewarding while supporting traders in their journey toward self-sufficiency. Another standout feature is Xtrades' Machine Learning Model, which analyzes vast amounts of trade signals shared on the platform. This model identifies mathematically advantageous trades from a large sample, focusing on high-quality setups. This approach of filtering for the best trade ideas, coupled with the growing user base, exemplifies the application of Metcalfe's Law, where the platform's value exponentially increases with more active users. To address the absence of interactive trading communities, Xtrades became one of the first companies to integrate with Discord to offer visual analytics for traders. This integration facilitates efficient data analysis and discussion, making market insights more accessible and improving users' understanding of their own trading patterns and the broader market trends. It has also created a vibrant community of members who have formed relationships that go beyond their trading activity. The company reports that members who've met on the Xtrades Discord have become real-life friends and business partners who have become deeply invested in making the brand and the platform a success.
