ARYA RESOURCES LTD. (RBZ) Arya Expands Exploration Portfolio With 38,926-Acre Strategic Gold Claims Acquisition Adjacent to Ramp Gold Discovery in Saskatchewan, Canada ACN Newswire

ARYA RESOURCES LTD. (RBZ) Arya Expands Exploration Portfolio With 38,926-Acre Strategic Gold Claims Acquisition Adjacent to Ramp Gold Discovery in Saskatchewan, Canada

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 21, 2025) - Arya Resources Ltd. (TSXV: RBZ) ("Arya" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a legally binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire a 100% interest in a highly prospective claim block directly adjacent to the northeast of Ramp Metals' property in the Rottenstone Domain, Northern Saskatchewan, Canada.Transaction Highlights:Strategic Land Position: The acquisition includes 38,926 acres (15,753 hectares) strategically located to capture the up-dip projection of the geological unit that hosts Ramp Metals' 2024 gold discovery.First-Mover Advantage: The claims are the first ground staked immediately contiguous to Ramp Metals following their announcement in June 2024—nearly 800,000 hectares have since been staked in what has become the province's largest staking rush in recent history (See Claim Map).Highly Prospective Geology: The Ramp East Claims encompass a large portion of the gold-bearing Quartz-Diorite unit—the same host rock where Ramp Metals made its discovery. This unit remains significantly underexplored, presenting a compelling opportunity for discovery-driven value creation.Untapped Structural Target: The claims also include a major NE-SW trending deep-rooted structure—the Howard Lake Shear Zone—which has seen little to no historical gold exploration and may represent a high-potential structural corridor.A New Frontier for Gold in the Rottenstone DomainWhile early staking in the area focused on Paleoproterozoic ultramafic rocks targeting massive sulphides, it was ultimately the Quartz Diorite intrusive body that hosted gold mineralization at Ramp, according to Ramp Metals' Q3 2024 Presentation; there is strong evidence to suggest that this same unit may daylight within Arya's newly optioned Ramp East claim block.This acquisition expands Arya's regional exploration footprint and complements the Company's Wedge Lake Gold Project, about 60 kilometers away, located in the prolific La Ronge Gold Belt—a belt historically known for multiple past-producing and active gold mines. The Company plans to drill the Wedge Lake soon. Arya is now positioned to test whether the Rottenstone Domain, long considered a base-metal district, can mirror the gold-rich nature of the La Ronge Belt to the west.Transaction TermsArya will earn a 100% interest in the property by:Paying $100,000 in cash over a 24-month periodIssuing 1.5 million shares over a 24-month periodGranting a 2.0% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty, of which 1.5% is purchasable at any time for $1.5 millionClaim MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/9409/252911_claimmap.jpgKevin Wells, P.Geo., a Qualified Person (QP) as per NI43-101 3.1, has approved the technical and scientific content of this release.Disclaimer: The technical and scientific information disclosed from neighboring properties does not necessarily apply to the current project or property being disclosed.About the CompanyArya Resources Ltd (TSXV: RBZ) is a tier-2 listed mining and mineral exploration Company.

GMG Approves AU$900k for Early Works for 10 Tonne per Annum Second Generation Technology Graphene Production Plant ACN Newswire

GMG Approves AU$900k for Early Works for 10 Tonne per Annum Second Generation Technology Graphene Production Plant

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 21, 2025) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Limited (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the board of directors of GMG have approved the investment of AU$900k for the early works of an expected 10 tonne per annum Gen 2.0 Graphene Manufacturing Technology plant (the "Gen 2.0 Plant") for an estimated AU$2.3 million total capital cost. This expenditure was largely included in the proposed use of proceeds for the March 2025 Bought Deal Financing of C$5,796,000.The Gen 2.0 Plant will be built at the existing natural gas to graphene production plant at its manufacturing facility in Richlands, Queensland, Australia. The early works include the procurement of long lead items and commencement of engineering and design works.The Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to be online by end of June 2026, with production limited to 1 tonne per annum until further work is completed on upgrading packaging systems expected shortly thereafter. The final project is expected to be largely self-powered from standalone energy generation from renewable sources, energy storage system and hydrogen enriched natural gas tail gas power generation. The final project is also expected to include a semi-autonomous bulk graphene packaging system.Figure 1: GMG Headquarters Layout To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/252902_graphene1en.jpgThe Gen 2.0 Plant is based on the GMG plasma technology, Figure 2, with which the Company has been making graphene for over seven years. However, the Gen 2.0 Plant will utilize newly iterated technology which is expected to produce up to 20 times more production per unit than the previous technology. This new technology is expected to deliver:a substantial reduction in capital cost per tonne of production capacitya substantial reduction in cost of goods per kilogram producedan increase in quality of the graphene materials producedFigure 2: Artistic Image of Natural Gas to Graphene PlasmaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/252902_f96ceb0e94ebf96d_017full.jpgThe details of the proposed Gen 2.0 Plant are as follows:Technology is based on ongoing development of GMG's plasma technology which splits natural gas into graphene and hydrogen gas and captures the graphene nanoplatelets.Automation is expected to allow for repeatable graphene quality, high plant reliability and lower requirement for operator activities.The graphene production technology is expected to be able to make the different graphene required for GMG's end products - including THERMAL-XR®, G® LUBRICANT, SUPA G® and the Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery.This type of new technology production plant can be built in various locations around the world, for example in North America where natural gas cost is low and abundantly available, significantly reducing the cost of the graphene. At scale the GMG graphene production process will produce large amounts of hydrogen as well.GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We are very excited to move ahead with our next generation technology for graphene production - it is a significant milestone for the company. We expect to see better quality graphene at even lower costs and much higher production rates."GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "This is the next exciting step before we look to expand to likely North American based expansion plants - where "cookie-cutter" projects can be rolled out with only minor changes for production expansion with lower cost gas and other benefits being in the North American market."About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries"). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.GMG's 4 critical business objectives are:Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processesBuild Revenue from Energy Savings ProductsDevelop Next-Generation BatteryDevelop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution CapabilityFor further information please contact:Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com, +61 415 445 223Leo Karabelas at Focus Communications Investor Relations, leo@fcir.ca, +1 647 689 6041Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This news release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.

Founders Metals Expands Upper Antino; Hits 33.0 m of 3.50 g/t Gold ACN Newswire

Founders Metals Expands Upper Antino; Hits 33.0 m of 3.50 g/t Gold

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 21, 2025) - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) ("Founders" or the "Company") announces drill core assay results from the Antino Gold Project ("Antino" or "Project") in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The Company reports high-grade gold mineralization at Upper Antino including 33.0 metres (m) of 3.50 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) in drilling east of the Main Froyo Shear ("Froyo"). Additional drilling results extend gold mineralization north 125 m, increasing total strike length of Froyo to ~1.7 kilometres (Figure 2).Drilling HighlightsGrowth-focused drilling expands high-grade gold mineralization in parallel structures (Figures 2 & 3):33.0 m of 3.50 g/t Au and 19.0 m of 0.84 g/t Au (FR114)13.0 m of 2.00 g/t Au (FR082)4.0 m of 5.92 g/t Au (FR105)Broad gold zones and 125 m northward extension:41.9 m of 1.06 g/t Au (FR099)12.0 m of 1.51 g/t Au and 22.5 m of 0.50 g/t Au (FR101), extending gold mineralization north in two parallel mineralized zonesColin Padget, President & CEO, commented, "These results clearly demonstrate Upper Antino's growth potential in multiple directions. Gold mineralization continues eastward over substantial intervals while our step-out drilling has successfully expanded the northern boundary by 125 metres. The two broad intervals in hole FR114 align well with our mineralization and structural models and suggest there is potential to 'connect-the-dots' between Froyo and Donut. Additionally, while we have seen some increases in assay turnaround times and have been focusing on certain corporate items, we anticipate releasing additional results from our earlier-stage exploration targets along-side a comprehensive overview in the coming weeks."Drilling continues to expand Upper Antino gold mineralization and Figure 4 provides a 12-month snapshot showing the growth of the mineralized footprint over that time. In this release, drill hole FR114 intersecting 33.0 m of 3.50 g/t Au, is one of several holes planned to target further eastward growth of Froyo gold mineralization and determine if additional parallel zones link Froyo with the Donut target. Drillhole FR101 intercepted two distinct zones of mineralization with the shallower 22.50 m interval of 0.5 g/t Au beginning at 27.60 m and potentially a new shear as the deeper 12 m of 1.51 g/t Au aligns well with the previously reported 8.0 m of 2.08 g/t Au in hole FR095. These are encouraging intercepts indicating additional northward potential and drill holes are planned further north to continue testing these structures.About Founders Metals Inc.Founders Metals is a Canadian-based exploration company focused on advancing the Antino Gold Project located in Suriname, South America, in the heart of the Guiana Shield. Antino is 20,000 hectares and has produced over 500,000 ounces of gold from surface and alluvial mining to date1.

Pet Diets Are Quietly Contributing to Climate Change – but There’s a Simple Fix ACN Newswire

Pet Diets Are Quietly Contributing to Climate Change – but There’s a Simple Fix

LONDON, May 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Feeding your dog or cat might be doing more damage to the planet than you think. A new study has revealed that conventional meat-based pet food carries a largely unrecognized environmental cost - contributing significantly to land use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and climate breakdown. The review, just published, found that pet food production is closely tied to the livestock industry, which is responsible for at least one-fifth of annual global GHG emissions.With the world's pet population now approaching one billion animals, the impacts are no longer minor. In the United States alone, dog and cat diets account for 25-30% of the environmental toll of livestock farming. One analysis even found that a single medium-sized dog's diet in Japan had a greater environmental footprint than the average Japanese person's diet.But experts say there's a powerful - and practical - solution. Stated Billy Nicholles, the lead author, "Switching pets to nutritionally sound vegan diets significantly mitigates our dogs and cats' environmental ‘paw prints.' It's a huge opportunity to reduce the environmental burden of our food system."The study examined 21 existing analyses of pet food sustainability and concluded that diet was the single largest factor driving environmental impacts. Protein choice was key: pet foods rich in animal ingredients were consistently linked to much larger environmental impacts.By contrast, vegan pet diets - where formulated to be nutritionally sound - offered major reductions across all impact categories. If all pet dogs worldwide were fed a vegan diet, the resulting food energy savings could feed 450 million people, according to the study. Greenhouse gas savings would exceed the UK's annual emissions."This offers huge potential," said Professor Andrew Knight, co-author and veterinary expert. "Modern vegan pet foods are not only safe, but often healthier. And they're vastly more sustainable."The report also pointed to emerging innovations like cultivated meat and precision-fermented proteins, which are beginning to enter the pet food market. These alternatives promise the taste and nutrition of meat without the massive environmental burden.With consumer demand growing, the authors urge governments, brands, and the public to rethink what goes into pet food bowls. "Sustainable pet food isn't just a niche trend," said Nicholles. "It's a climate solution hiding in plain sight."Contact InformationBilly NichollesPet food researcherbilly@bryantresearch.co.uk+44 7921461778Andrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.auSOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

宠物饮食正悄然加剧气候变化——但有一个简单的解决方案

伦敦, 2025年5月22日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 给你的狗或猫喂食,可能对地球造成的破坏比你想象的更大。一项最新研究显示,传统以肉类为主的宠物食品带来了一个长期被忽视的环境代价——它在土地使用、温室气体 (GHG) 排放以及气候恶化方面有着显著影响。该综述研究刚刚发表,指出宠物食品的生产与畜牧业密切相关,而畜牧业每年至少占全球温室气体排放总量的五分之一。随着全球宠物数量接近十亿只,其环境影响已经不容忽视。仅在美国,狗和猫的饮食就占畜牧业环境负担的25%至30%。一项分析 甚至发现,一只中型犬在日本的饮食,其环境足迹超过了普通日本人的饮食。但专家指出,这一问题有一个既强有力又切实可行的解决方案。该研究主要作者比利·尼科尔斯(Billy Nicholles)表示:“将宠物转为营养均衡的纯素饮食,可以显著减少狗和猫的‘环境爪印’。这是一个极具潜力的机会,能减轻我们食物系统带来的环境负担。”研究审查了21项现有的宠物食品可持续性分析,并得出结论:饮食是推动环境影响的最大单一因素。其中,蛋白质的选择尤为关键——富含动物成分的宠物食品始终与更高的环境影响密切相关。相比之下,如果纯素宠物饮食在营养上配方合理,则在所有环境影响指标 上都有显著的 减排效果。研究指出,如果全球所有宠物狗都采用纯素饮食,其节省的食物能量足以养活4.5亿人,减少的温室气体排放将超过英国一整年的排放总量。“这代表着巨大的潜力,”该研究的合著者、兽医专家安德鲁·奈特教授表示,“现代的纯素宠物食品不仅安全,往往还更健康,并且可持续性大大提高。”报告还提到了一些正在兴起的创新产品,如培养肉 培养肉和精密发酵蛋白精密发酵蛋白,这些替代品正逐步进入宠物食品市场。它们承诺提供与肉类相同的口感与营养,但不带来巨大的环境负担。随着消费者需求的增长,研究作者呼吁政府、品牌和公众重新思考宠物碗里的内容。尼科尔斯表示:“可持续的宠物食品不仅是一个小众趋势,它是一个显而易见却被忽视的气候解决方案。”联系信息Billy NichollesPet food researcherbilly@bryantresearch.co.uk+44 7921461778Andrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.au来源: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

GMG Launches G-Lubricant.com: A Transformative Graphene Energy Saving Solution for the Multi Trillion Dollar Global Liquid Fuel Industry ACN Newswire

GMG Launches G-Lubricant.com: A Transformative Graphene Energy Saving Solution for the Multi Trillion Dollar Global Liquid Fuel Industry

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 20, 2025) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of website www.g-lubricant.com to facilitate direct sale of its energy saving graphene liquid concentrate G® Lubricant, that enhances the performance of diesel and gasoline (petrol) engines. The launch of the website is with a new animation video promoting the ease and benefits of G-Lubricant (Figure 1).Figure 1: www.G-Lubricant.com launch animation videoTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/252715_gmg4!.jpgUnleashing the Power of GrapheneG® Lubricant is a graphene liquid concentrate that can be added to any mineral or synthetic oil used in an internal combustion engine. The amount of graphene in the final lubricant once G® Lubricant is added in is only ~ 1:10,000, with the balance of the concentrate consisting of lubricating base oil. As a result, G® Lubricant can be used safely in any internal combustion engine. Over the past four years, GMG has conducted environmentally controlled testing of G® Lubricant in internal combustion engines monitored and verified by The University of Queensland. In those tests, G® Lubricant has been shown to increase fuel efficiency by up to 8.4% in those diesel engines tested. GMG's test results have been corroborated by similar savings realized by customers over a number of years of field testing in diesel and gasoline/petrol engines.G® Lubricant is currently sold by GMG in different pack sizes on the direct marketing website including a 500 ml litre pack and 8 x 50 ml packs, which can be used to dose 50 litres of engine oil and 8 x 5 liters of engine oil, respectively, to provide improved engine performance. GMG intends to direct market the product to its targeted markets through various pack sizes for direct and bulk use to create awareness of the product and its benefits.In addition, the Company is discussing global sales with potential distributors in different geographic areas and different original equipment manufacturers.Further G® Lubricant Performance TestsGMG carried out further G® Lubricant testing in mid May 2025 - this time in its Company van which was recently professionally serviced - a Mercedes Vito on a third party dyno testing facility (Figure 4) with diesel engine exhaust emissions testing as well (Figure 5).The performance testing showed demonstrated that the diesel engine van running at approximately 2500 rpm, 100 km/hr with approximately 400 Nm torque, the G® Lubricant provided approximately 13% of fuel savings (Figure 2) and a reduction of harmful NOx exhaust emissions of 27% (Figure 3) compared to testing under similar conditions without the use of any G® Lubricant.A second dose of G® Lubricant was added to achieve these results due to the age and condition of the engine which has over 360,000 km of use - hence the total amount of graphene per engine oil was 0.02% (2 in 10,000) by weight - there was a total of 160 ml (2 x 80 ml) of G Lubricant added to the 8 litres of engine oil.Figure 2: Fuel Efficiency Performance Increase from G-LubricantTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/252715_gmg1!.jpgFigure 3: NOx Emissions Performance Increase from G-LubricantTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/252715_gmg2.jpgFigure 4: GMG Company Van in Performance Testing with G-LubricantTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/252715_b0364e8ec47ab84d_011full.jpgFigure 5: Dyno Testing Equipment with Emissions TestingTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/252715_gmg3.jpgAbout GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process.
