LIVE WORLD-WIDE TELETHON TO HELP FIGHT HOMELESSNESS AND BENEFIT THE LAS VEGAS RECUE MISSION DEBUTS LEADING UP TO THE BIG GAME

YourUpdateTV

Las Vegas Rescue Mission announced today that they will play host to the 1st Annual Alvin James, Approaching Life Under the Bridge Telethon on Wednesday, February 7th, 2024, from The Chapel, at their Las Vegas Rescue Mission location. This groundbreaking special event will be hosted by actor, musician, and former NFL player Julian Horton, and is sponsored by Door2Door Anywhere.com. All proceeds from the on-line telethon will go directly to the Las Vegas Rescue Mission as they have been recognized for the impactful work they are doing in the Las Vegas area. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://vimeo.com/910236902/36f170d396?share=copy The Alvin James, Approaching Life Under the Bridge Telethon is the brainchild of musician / songwriter and Executive Producer McKinley Horton who wanted to take his passion for fighting homelessness in the US to the next level and at the same time, honor one of his mentors, the late Alvin James. “Alvin James inspired me to look deeply into myself and my desire to help those in need it in any way I could, and with his recent passing last fall, I decided that the time was right “says Horton. The concept Mr. Horton came up with was to create a meaningful live event that not only includes an array of entertainers, but to also focus on the great work local non-profits are doing and try to shed light on their great work, the staff and volunteers that they have, and help them raise funds to benefit their programs and increase the impact they have on those who rely on them and the services they provide. “We all know how hard it is for local non-profits that deal with the homeless and other members of the underserved communities nation-wide face when it comes to financial support, so we decided to make sure 100 percent of all proceeds go directly to the local non-profit so that they can do what they do best which is help the people who need it.” Horton added. The result of that thinking was to honor the non-profit that is selected by The Alvin James, Approaching Life Under the Bridge selection committee, to coincide with a time of year where everyone is focused on an annual event and there is no event bigger than the annual big game. “As a sports fan and the father of a former NFL player, the committee and I came up with the idea of doing our telethon during the week before the big game in the city that the big game takes place” said Horton whose son, actor, musician and former NFLer, Julian Horton, will be one of the telethons host “so its so great to be partnering with the Las Vegas Rescue Mission, who the committee felt deserved the spotlight, for the amazing work we got to see first hand when we visited them “ Las Vegas Rescue Mission CEO, Heather Engle is super supportive of the goals of the Alvin James, Approaching Life Under the Bridge Telethon and with the Las Vegas Rescue Mission (LVRM ) as its partner, in what will now be an annual event with the 2nd Annual Telethon taking place in New Orleans site of the next Big Game, Engle and the staff at LVRM have also played a big role in getting the event off the ground. “Anytime we can get to share our mission statement with a wide audience we are always thankful and willing to help. This event will not only help people here in Las Vegas, but we hope to shed a brighter light on what we all know is as a major problem world-wide.We serve over 1,000 meals a day and have programs that not only deal with homelessness, but other important issues like addiction and mental health so we are very happy to be a part of this amazing event “ Engle noted Door2Door Anywhere.com, one of the world’s leading transportation companies, led by CEO Rattan Joea, is the sole sponsor of this years event and as Joea explains, the brand couldn’t be happier to be involved with the Alvin James, Approaching Life Under the Bridge Telethon for more than just brand exposure “For me and Door2Door Anywhere.com this isn’t about brand exposure, it’s about helping people, which has always been a part of my personal brand as well as our DOOR2Door Anywhere identity. We transport people all over the world and have a real worldview of the issues humanity is facing so to be able to play a role in helping the homeless and other underserved members of communities everywhere is vital to me..Our sponsorship of this 1st annual event is just the beginning of what we think will be a huge event going forward that will help people so we are all in and will be with the Telethon in Vegas this year, and then on to New Orleans next year, “ said Joea Host Julian Horton, (whose acting credits include a featured role in the hit film, National Champions, along with TV credits on Tyler Perry’s “Bruh”, Tough Love Atlanta, and others) didn’t need to be recruited by his father, his desire and passion to help change the lives of those less fortunate started at an early age. “ My passion has always been about helping those less fortunate than me …I was lucky, I’ve he had support throughout my life and I know how important it is to have that and when I see all the hurt, harm and pain going down on the streets these days as well as the struggle those without homes, support, and love face every minute of their lives…I just cant sit back and act like it isn’t there so I’m asking EVERYONE out there to tune in” For more information about the live stream and to donate go to www.vegasrescue.org and click on the events tab for THE ALVIN JAMES, APPROACHING LIFE UNDER THE BRIDGE TELETHON About the Las Vegas Rescue Mission: The Las Vegas Rescue Mission (LVRM) was founded in 1970 by a pastor and six businessmen who had calling to help those who were homeless and hungry.

Noble Completes Drill Program on the Kidd2/Carnegie Project Near Timmins, Ontario

Noble Mineral Exploration Inc.

Toronto, Ontario – February 6, 2024 – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ( “Noble” or the “Company” ) (TSXV:NOB ) ( FRANKFURT:NB7 ) ( OTC:NLPXF) is pleased to report that drilling has been completed on the Kidd2/Carnegie Project. Five holes (1,692 meters) were drilled with helicopter support on various targets near the Kidd Creek Mine. Noble Minerals, in a joint venture with 11530313 Canada Inc., completed the drill program with the help of a $200,000 Ontario Junior Exploration Program (OJEP) grant. Research by Noble staff identified several targets for the drill program. The Kidd2/Carnegie project is devoted to finding an extension of the Kidd Creek deposit. The program was a technical success because it identified the geological horizon that hosts the Kidd Creek mineralization and encountered massive sulphides. Analyses of core samples found that they were generally non-economic. Kidd2/Carnegie Project The Kidd2/Carnegie Project consists of a group of patented and staked mining claims located north and northwest of the Kidd Creek Mine and 24 km north of Timmins, Ontario. The Kidd deposit, owned by Glencore, is one of the world's largest volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposits that produces copper, zinc, and silver. Exploration of this area in the past has been hindered by small land packages owned by various companies. Over the years, Noble has been successful in assembling one of the largest land inventories in the vicinity of the Kidd Creek Mine. Noble Minerals has completed strategic Induced Polarization surveys within 2 km of the Kidd Creek open pit on the Fly Creek Rhyolite. The target of the program was an anticlinal structure that contained rhyolite intercalated with ultramafic rocks. It is postulated that these rhyolites are the same age as the Kidd Creek mineralized rhyolites. Bleeker* (1999) proposed that faults that slice through the Kidd Creek deposit have displaced the northern limb of the Kidd Creek Mine fold up to 2 km to the north and are interpreted to be time-stratigraphic equivalent. (See Figure 1). In addition, the Fly Creek Rhyolite might be a faulted extension of the Chance Rhyolite, where several Texas Gulf drill holes intersected lead, zinc, and silver mineralization. To the west, Noble has used Induced Polarization to investigate a property that lies 600 meters along strike from the Chance mineralization. This stratigraphic horizon also runs through the Kidd Creek Mine.

The yellow Chert unit and the red Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) unit are thinner than they appear on the section. The green unit consists primarily of pillow and tuffaceous volcanic and gabbroic mafic rocks. The orange unit consists of felsic and intermediate tuffaceous and brecciated rocks. The purple units consist primarily of ultramafic rock. Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) labels indicate areas where the drill core contains more than 200 ppm of each metal over at least 1 m.

Drill Program The primary target of the drill program was an Induced Polarization chargeability anomaly located on the eastern half of the Noble Project Area “A” (see Figure 1) located about 2000 meters north of the Kidd Creek Mine. Figure 2 is an idealized cross-section through the Kidd Creek Mine, and Figure 3 is a section showing the location of the chargeability anomaly and the location of Hole CB-23-01 of the present drill program. The near-surface geology of the Kidd Creek Mine is shown in the north-facing Geological Cross published by Bleeker, 1991 (Figure 2). A massive peridotite unit occurs at the stratigraphic base of the geological section (at the east end of the cross-section). This unit is overlain by a 250m thick rhyolite unit that contains various textures, including pyroclastic and breccia (Prior et al., 1999b; DeWolfe et al., 2018). The rhyolite unit is overlain by a sphalerite-chalcopyrite massive sulfide body up to 100m thick (on the section). The massive sulfide unit is overlain by graphite sediment, which is overlain by a silicified rock unit (bright yellow and labeled rhyolite) interpreted to be a chert unit (Figure 1). These sedimentary rocks are overlain by mafic volcanic rocks (see Figure 1 – green rock unit labeled as andesite on the west side of cross-section). The location of the massive sulfide deposit at the contact between the rhyolite and mafic rocks is consistent with the geological setting of many other volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits. The near-surface geology on Grid A (Figure 4) is shown in the north-facing Geological Cross constructed using the results from the Noble Minerals Induced Polarization survey (2021), Xplor Resources diamond drill hole log KC-16-04 and 3-D Borehole Pulse EM survey for hole KC-16-04, and Noble drill hole CB-23-01 (Figure 2). A massive, altered peridotite unit occurs at the stratigraphic base of the geological section (at the East end of the cross-section). This unit is overlain by a 1m thick massive sulfide unit (Figure 5), which is overlain by a 200m thick rhyolite unit that contains various textures, including pyroclastic and breccia (Figure 6). A 3 m thick rock unit overlies the rhyolite unit and is interpreted as a volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) body because it contains up to 20% pyrite plus pyrrhotite (from drill log KC-16-04). The presence of the massive sulfide body is supported by a 3-D Borehole Pulse EM survey for hole KC-16-04 completed by Xplor Resources (Crone, 2016) and zinc values that average 206 ppm (between 621 to 624m) and copper values that average 125 ppm (between 585 to 588m in ddh KC-16-04). The massive sulfide unit is overlain by a silicified rock unit interpreted to be a chert (Figure 3). The chert unit was 30 m long in drill hole KC-16-04 and is overlain by mafic volcanic rocks (see Figure 3 – green rock unit labeled as mafic on the west side of cross-section). The geological cross-section on Parcel “A” is comparable to that in the Kidd Creek mine and is interpreted to indicate that the geology of Grid A is an on-strike extension of the Kidd Creek deposit. Analyses received for Holes CB-23-01 to CB-23-03 have maximum values that are listed in the table below: Analyses for Holes CB-23-04 and CB-23-05 are still pending. The drill results will be assessed, along with additional trace elements and stable isotope geochemical analysis, and downhole EM geophysical testing, to try and identify additional exploration targets that warrant drill testing. Vance White, President and CEO of Noble, said, “We are very pleased to complete this program with the support of the OJEP grant and our partners 11530313 Canada Inc. The drilling has given us important technical information that will be invaluable in the planning of future exploration programs here.” *Bleeker, W., 1999.

HTX DAO: A Groundbreaking Experiment Responding to the People's Call

HTX DAO

Three decades ago, Kevin Kelly, inspired by the self-organizing phenomena of bees, pointed out in his book "Out of Control" that intelligence was no longer concentrated in centralized organizations but resembled individual honeycombs within a hive. Today, his vision is being proved right from the field of technology to cryptocurrency, from computer science to Web3. In the Web3 space, the highly-anticipated decentralized autonomous organization HTX DAO ushered in its establishment, as announced by its core supporter Justin Sun on his social media account. On February 2, the HTX DAO 2024 and People's Exchange launch ceremony was held in Singapore, marking a new chapter for both HTX DAO and the HTX exchange. This event signifies HTX DAO's commitment to tapping into the community's wisdom and power, transforming the leading crypto exchange into a truly people-centered exchange. At that time, Sun had been with HTX for 14 months as a member of its Global Advisory Board. After navigating a challenging year of adaptation and adjustment, HTX is now firmly on track for success, achieving remarkable strides, including a fast turnaround and successful rebranding. With its current trajectory, HTX could have remained on autopilot. But the launch of HTX DAO and $HTX has been a game-changer, electrifying the HTX community and sending ripples of excitement through the industry. Ready to unlock the mystery of HTX DAO? Let's dive deep into this project and explore the reasons behind Justin Sun's enthusiastic support. Community Autonomy: Shared Ownership In stark contrast to HTX DAO's decentralized approach, Sun pointed out that looking across the entire industry, the operations of centralized exchanges (CEXs) are still highly centralized. HTX aims to be the first people's exchange, the first CEX practicing decentralization, and the first democratic and autonomous exchange, and all of this will be achieved through HTX DAO, he added. DAOs are naturally more appealing to ordinary users than other organizations in traditional forms. They bring community members together in a flat and non-hierarchical structure, challenging the existing governance models. Community users form the foundation of a DAO, where everyone can be participants and contributors, and everyone has the right to make proposals. Once a proposal is approved, it is executed through smart contracts. In line with this, "community autonomy" is the most frequently mentioned phrase by Sun regarding HTX DAO in multiple public speeches. Embracing community-based governance means relinquishing some control. But the reward? Engaged members actively participate in key decision-making. This shift empowers them from users to co-builders, fostering a project's future. The resulting emotional investment not only strengthens loyalty and a sense of collective ownership and responsibility, but also fuels innovation in the community-building approach, ensuring the project's long-term success. In terms of HTX DAO's operations, a series of democratic measures have already been scheduled. On January 25, HTX DAO created a buzz on its official social media by selecting the users with the most likes on their comments for a direct conversation with Sun and the HTX DAO Governance Committee, collectively exploring the path of governance for HTX DAO. The event poster was captioned, "The People's Exchange, Built by the People." In addition to this, HTX DAO's further moves are also being planned, including representative elections, community voting for token listings, democratic forums, and the more transparent asset proof and private key storage mechanism. This event attracted tens of thousands of viewers and sparked discussions, with ten ecosystem participants raising a series of questions. In response, Sun stated that the $HTX governance token will ideally be distributed to HTX DAO's contributors and users. Regularly holding People's Meetings by HTX department heads and HTX DAO will ensure users feel ownership and enhance transparency and community governance as the HTX exchange is evolving into the People's Exchange 2.0. Friedrich Hayek, a leading proponent of classical liberalism in the twentieth century, argued that the desirability of an order does not stem from its ability to organize individual elements, but rather from its potential to generate new forces that would otherwise remain dormant. In light of this perspective, it is evident that the community's passion and wisdom, which can be kindled by HTX DAO, will invigorate and revitalize the cryptocurrency world dominated by CEXs. Meme Mode: Decentralized Branding After the release of the HTX DAO whitepaper, the community raised concerns about $HTX's initial supply of 999,990,000,000,000 tokens. They questioned why a governance token would have such a high meme token-like issuance. This brings us to the rise of meme tokens. In the second quarter of 2023, Pepecoin emerged as a legendary narrative and created a new record as a meme token with a market capitalization of $1 billion and a spot among the top 50 cryptocurrencies. Meme tokens have always been unique and peculiar in the cryptocurrency realm. They lack practicality but carry a sense of playful pride. However, the emergence of meme tokens brings new changes in the traditional branding narratives across the crypto market, providing a fresh approach to attracting new users and traffic. Meme tokens can be seen as effective communication tools that align perfectly with the new paradigm of Web3, fostering social sharing and cultivating community awareness. Regarding $HTX's issuance, Sun explained that $HTX indeed draws inspiration from the meme token model. The reason behind this lies in the fact that meme tokens have minimal security attributes, making them compliant with regulatory requirements, while also enjoying the strongest community consensus. Sun further elaborated that successful meme tokens are backed by strong community spirit and organizational power. He hopes that HTX, through the support of $HTX, can achieve higher greatness and establish an organizational structure featuring "centralized operations and decentralized branding/decision-making". Sun appears to be confident about this vision. According to the whitepaper, the distribution of $HTX tokens is as follows: early contributors and public allocation accounts for 19%; community access program, 19%; developer grant, 10%; research and development, 10%; ecosystem supporter, 10%; partnership and collaboration, 15%; and platform development, 17%. Besides the HTX exchange, HTX DAO has reportedly attracted more builders for its ecosystem, including projects and institutions such as Ankr, Spark Digital Capital, Double Peak Capital, Zebec, Merkle 3s Capital, TRON, BitTorrent, Poloniex, Spark, Stratified Capital, stUSDT, APENFT, etc. It is worth noting that, as co-builders, HTX, TRON, BitTorrent, and APENFT will contribute funds to support HTX DAO's liquidity, jointly promoting the development of HTX DAO. HTX DAO seems to have covered all the bases. While many crypto founders preach decentralization, few take concrete steps in decentralizing their brand. However, Sun, always emphasizing branding and marketing, has achieved this feat by empowering the community with tokens and proposal voting rights, making them highly engaged members and staunch brand advocates. A Journey With More Than Just Wealth In 2023, the significant wealth effect created by HTX on token listings has garnered market favor and acclaim. This sets HTX apart from other exchanges with issues such as the lack of transparency in the listing process and the dissemination of exaggerated or even false information, which are prevalent in the exchange space and increase the risks of crypto investments and market manipulation. Sun declared, "Breaking down information barriers and bringing absolute transparency to HTX, from a transparent listing process to future private key custody options. Ultimately, $HTX holders should become the true owners of the platform." Clearly, the core vision of HTX DAO and HTX is to provide the community with shared prosperity and constantly achieve it through empowerment and sharing. It also gives users the power and opportunity to think for themselves about the platform's direction and how they can contribute to it. However, measuring the success of a Web3 product lies not only in its appeal to blockchain natives but also in its ability to attract ordinary users who use the product solely for its functional purposes, rather than for making money. In other words, the product's ability to break the barrier of its own community. In fact, the exploration of HTX DAO and HTX not only opens up new paths for the crypto industry but also provides inspiration for traditional businesses. Instead of relying solely on product or service sales, HTX DAO's business model emphasizes interaction and collaboration with the community. This is community-based collaboration that traditional businesses can learn from, igniting their exploration of new commercial value in the context of decentralized intellectual property and collaborative ecosystems. Moreover, HTX has previously declared its goal of building a Web3 financial hub in the metaverse, providing financial services for 8 billion people worldwide, and enabling them to achieve financial freedom. It seems that this vision is not far off. About HTX DAO As a multi-chain deployed decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), HTX DAO demonstrates an innovative governance approach. Unlike traditional corporate structures, it adopts a decentralized governance structure composed of a diversified group, jointly committed to the success of this organization. This unique ecosystem advocates open values and encourages all DAO participants to propose collaborations and protocol enhancements that can promote the development of HTX DAO.

Decentralized Fund Management Platform DeSyn Launch Liquidity Restaking Fund, Enjoy triple points for Eigenlayer, Renzo, and DeSyn

DeSyn

After a period of tranquility, the Ethereum ecosystem is gradually regaining momentum with the rise of the Restaking. As seasoned DeFi participants, DeSyn has consistently focused on developing the Ethereum network. Previously, DeSyn initiated the launch of the 3x ETH Leveraged ETF based on sharp market insights, aiming to promote diversity in Ethereum network products and assist users in maximizing their returns within the Ethereum ecosystem. Today, DeSyn announces the launching of the DeSyn ETH Restaking Fund I( 3x Points), dedicated to participating in this industry revolution alongside ecosystems such as Eigenlayer and Renzo, collectively shaping the future of DeFi. The DeSyn ETH Restaking Fund I( 3x Points), drETH in short, is an open-end fund product introduced by Little Frog, a professional decentralized asset management DAO organization based on the infrastructure of the DeSyn platform. This product integrates DeSyn and other two highly acclaimed restaking platforms, Eigenlayer and Renzo. Users can stake ETH, stETH, wETH, and ezETH through the DeSyn platform. The fund supports on-demand withdrawals and offers the existing APY from LST and LRT and the triple yield expectations from Eigenlayer, Renzo, and DeSyn. Currently, this fund’s APY ranges from 3.6% to 60%. In terms of security, DeSyn solemnly declares that all contract codes have undergone security audits to ensure the safety of user assets. https://little-frog.gitbook.io/little-frog/products/open-end-desyn-eth-restaking-fund-i-3x-points How to restake? Users can navigate to Desyn's website and select the "restaking" option to access the DeSyn ETH Restaking Fund I (3x Points) issue. Upon selection, users have the opportunity to acquire drETH, associated with the potential of triple returns. https://www.desyn.io/#/pool/0x8F92265FE1F875d1985cD9D4275dd4Cfec9eb1E7 Enhanced Incentives through Triple-Point Staking with DeSyn As mentioned earlier, opting for the fund not only grants potentially basic LST and LRT returns but also yields triple points from Eigenlayer, Renzo, and DeSyn. DeSyn is committed to maximizing incentives for staking users. Starting from February 6, 2024, any user participating in this Fund can earn corresponding points, dependent on the staking amount and duration. DeSyn Points Formula: DeSyn points = (Amount of LST) * Number of staked days * 10,000 Eigenlayer Points Guide can be found. Renzo Points Guide can be found. EigenLayer: Elevating Ethereum Security through Restaking EigenLayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces restaking, a new primitive in crypto-economic security. This primitive enables the reuse of ETH on the consensus layer. Users that stake ETH natively or with a liquid staking token (LST) can opt-in to EigenLayer smart contracts to restake their ETH or LST and extend crypto-economic security to additional applications on the network to earn additional rewards. Users can learn more by visiting EigenLayer's official website. Renzo: Pioneering Restaking on the EigenLayer Mainnet Renzo is the first native restaking protocol to launch on the EigenLayer mainnet. Although EigenLayer will not begin securing Actively Validated Services (AVSs) I.e. EigenDA until mid-2024, they have been accepting deposits. Deposits for Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) are capped; however, native ETH deposits remain uncapped but very difficult for most users to access. They require a user to have 32 ETH and run an Ethereum node that is integrated with EigenLayer to run EigenPods. Users can learn more by visiting Renzo's official website. About DeSyn DeSyn Protocol is an innovative decentralized asset management infrastructure on Web 3, empowering users to securely and transparently create and manage customized pool-based portfolios with various on-chain assets (tokens, NFTs, derivatives, etc.) via smart contract.

Bradda Head Lithium highlights high-grade intersections from drilling at San Domingo district

Bradda Head Lithium Limited

Bradda Head Lithium executive chairman Ian Stalker joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of the latest drilling campaign at the San Domingo (SD) district in Arizona. Stalker said the campaign unveiled high-grade lithium intersections, notably in the Morningstar South target, with lithium grades reaching 3-4% over substantial meterage. He emphasized the strategic significance of these findings, particularly considering the current challenging lithium market. The San Domingo district, spanning 23 square kilometres, features lithium in core spodumene form, which is notably easier and more efficient to recover. The shallow depth of these lithium deposits suggests potential for open-pit mining, a more cost-effective approach than deep mining. This aspect aligns with the company's strategy to minimize exploration costs in a tough market environment. To navigate the turbulent lithium market, Bradda Head Lithium has streamlined corporate costs, including staff reductions, to maintain financial stability without compromising project efficiency. This strategic move positions the company advantageously for upcoming market changes. Stalker anticipates a "third wave" in the lithium market, driven by the ongoing demand for electric vehicles. Bradda Head Lithium is now focusing on converting its findings into resources, with additional drilling and metallurgical testing planned. The company's diversified portfolio, including lithium in clays and oil brines, further strengthens its market position. ‌ Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com
