(TSXV:ROVR)(OTCQB:ROVMF)(FSE:4XO) (“Rover” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Cabin Lake Gold project (the “Cabin Technical Report”) near to Yellowknife, NT, Canada, is nearing completion.

Hole ID	From	To	Length	Au g/t (weighted)
CL-20-08	17.5m	49.4m	31.9m	13.66 g/t Au
CL-20-01	24.6m	46.6m	22.0m	7.94 g/t Au

In 2021, the Company performed extensive geophysical exploration programs including LiDAR and regional airborne magnetic surveys, as well as detailed ground IP geophysics work that identified multiple sulphide anomalies along the Bugow Iron Formation that still have not been drilled. The Bugow Iron Formation at Cabin Lake is over 15km in surface length, and is considered to structurally control the gold at the project across multiple reported zones (the Arrow Zone, the Beaver Zone, and the Andrew Zone). Comparabes for the project are the historic Lupin Gold mine, as well as the Back River gold project in Nunavut, Canada.

Yellowknife, NT, Canada

The Yellowknife area of Canada is a proven mining district hosting an endowment of precious metals, diamonds, critical minerals such as lithium and cobalt, as well as several rare earth elements. Late-stage brownfields exploration projects in the area promise to bring new infrastructure and investment to the area aided by the Government of Canada’s $1.5B Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund. Fortune Minerals’ NICO cobalt-gold-copper-bismuth project is a recent recipient of this federal government funding. The Cabin Lake Gold project is located approximately 40km from the NICO project. Other regional junior mining companies are likely to receive federal government funding in 2024. Lithium pegmatite discoveries made this summer in the Yellowknife Pegmatite Province by companies such as Canadian listed Li-FT Power and Australian listed Loyal Lithium are also contributing to increased private sector investment into the area on a global scale.

Terms for Sale

The 100% owned Cabin Lake Gold project is being offered for sale under a staged-ownership purchase option, including an up-front cash payment. The Company intends to retain a royalty on the project. The Cabin Technical Report will qualify the project as a listing asset for multiple stock exchanges. The report can be made compliant for an ASX listing upon request. Interested parties should contact the Company at info@rovermetals.com.

Judson Culter, CEO at Rover Metals, states, “The sale of an option for the Cabin Lake Gold project will help bring-in needed working capital for 2024. Management at Rover is focussed on the continued permitting work at its Let’s Go Lithium project, NV, USA. The Company also has identified hard rock pegmatites at its IML project in the Northwest Territories. In 2024, we will be renewing our efforts to further explore and identify pegmatites at the IML project, including regional exploration in the Yellowknife Pegmatite Province, where the IML project is located. We have received a territorial government grant of $153,000 for exploration work at the IML project and we are pursuing federal government funding opportunities for the project as well.”

Technical information in this news release has been approved by Dave White, M.Sc., P.Geo., Technical Advisor of Rover Metals Corp. and a Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

Moderna Reviews its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Progress and Ambitions at Second ESG Investor Event

Cambridge, MA, Dec 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today will provide an update on its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy at its second ESG Investor Event. Building off its inaugural ESG Day in November 2022, the Company will highlight the year’s progress on its ESG journey and future work to further impact global health and protect the environment.

“Our mRNA platform science has benefited patients around the world and with that comes great responsibility as science alone will not solve the world’s greatest health challenges,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “We are committed to moving beyond the power of our technology – tackling enduring health disparities, engaging with our communities, and recognizing that human health and planetary health are intricately linked. We look forward to building on our substantial ESG progress to become the best version of Moderna.”

Moderna’s ESG strategy is articulated around five areas:

Medicines for Patients: Moderna is leveraging its platform for many medicines, from vaccines to protect hundreds of millions of people from common viruses for which no vaccines are available today, to several rare disease therapies with tremendous opportunity for impact. Within its clinical trials, Moderna believes a committed approach to offering equal healthcare accessibility is achievable and necessary. The Company is also committed to using its platform to help rapidly respond to the greatest public health threats, pursuing a pipeline of priority programs relevant for outbreak response and pandemic preparedness. Moderna has long prioritized strategic collaborations to benefit global health, including its partnership with The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), and Moderna’s mRNA Access program, a collaborative effort that enables researchers around the world to utilize Moderna’s mRNA technology.

Environment: Moderna is progressing on its journey toward net-zero carbon emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) by 2030. The Company has advanced its overall environmental sustainability program, including through implementing its sustainability strategy, enhancing its disclosure of key performance indicators, submitting its first CDP Climate Change questionnaire, and initiating a climate risk and scenario analysis. These efforts support internal and external stakeholder expectations for sustainable operations and Moderna’s adaptation to a low-carbon economy.

Employees & Culture: Moderna consistently ranks as a top employer and achieves above benchmark scores on engagement, culture and belonging. Moderna continues to foster a culture where every employee can meaningfully contribute to the Company’s mission, an effort that serves to attract and retain the best talent. By living the Company’s values and mindsets every day, the Moderna team is not only advancing mRNA science, but also building an organization that cares deeply for patients, employees, the environment, and the community.

Community: Moderna is committed to having a positive impact on communities around the world. Moderna’s purpose-driven employees continue to exemplify the Company’s mission, with nearly two out of three employees participating in volunteering activities or contributing as part of Moderna’s newly instituted employee matching program. The Moderna Charitable Foundation continues to provide financial support to organizations and causes that promote public health, advance scientific education, and advocate for belonging, inclusion, and diversity.

Governance & Ethics: Moderna prioritizes accountability and transparency around its ESG efforts, including through the publication of its second annual ESG report and continued commitment to disclosing key metrics. Moderna has initiated an ESG materiality assessment, which includes broad stakeholder surveys, and is also leveraging AI to build a dynamic analysis of material topics.

“Delivering on our ESG ambitions is made possible by a strong culture that embeds the values of transparency, accountability and ownership at all levels of the organization,” said Shannon Thyme Klinger, Moderna’s Chief Legal Officer, Corporate Secretary and President of the Moderna Foundation. “The same determination that goes into our innovation carries over into our commitment to positively impact the communities in which we work and live.”

5 Ideas on How to Manage Your Personal Loan in Singapore Effectively

SINGAPORE, Dec 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Personal loans are convenient and quick solutions for bridging financial gaps. Though many of us think that meeting the eligibility criteria and getting the loan approved is the toughest part, the real challenge lies in utilising the loan responsibly after accessing it. Many people have suffered financial instability due to mismanagement or irresponsible use of their personal loan s . Therefore, it is crucial that you carefully monitor your repayments and adhere to a strict budgeting practice to meet the ultimate objective of repaying the loan in time.

How Personal Loans Work

Personal loans provide you with a specific amount of money you must repay within a predetermined timeframe. The monthly repayments are usually structured to include both interest charges and the repayment of the loan’s principal amount.

5 Tips to Manage Your Personal Loan in Singapore

Here are five tips that will help you manage your personal loan effectively:

Create a budget and adhere to it

Staying mindful while planning your expenses and finances after taking a personal loan is always advisable. The best way to do so is to create a budget with a comprehensive overview of your income and expenses. By setting spending limits and saving goals, you can repay your debts in a shorter period of time.

Understand the terms and conditions of your personal loan

A comprehensive understanding of the terms and conditions of your personal loan is essential. It also advised to have a fair idea about the interest rate, repayment schedule, due dates, and any potential penalties or fees associated with the loan. This knowledge can help you avoid missed payments, monitor your repayments, know your outstanding balance, and create an early repayment plan if feasible.

Pay the instalments by the due date

You should always pay your instalments by the due date, as missed payments will affect your credit score negatively and incur potential penalties that could increase your debt. An effective way to avoid such a situation is to set up standing instructions for direct debit with your bank. The automatic payments will ensure that your instalments are paid on time with minimal or no chances of a missed payment.

Only utilise the loan for essential needs

Personal loans should only be used to fulfil essential financial needs like medical emergencies, home renovation and wedding expenses. Before taking up a personal loan, make sure to check whether it is absolutely necessary to do so. If the expense is a ‘want’ and not a need’ required in the immediate future, you probably should not take up a personal loan for it.

Avoid using personal loans to repay existing loan instalments

Avoid taking up a personal loan to pay for your existing loans. Doing so may result in more debt since you will need to pay the interest on both loans, increasing your borrowing costs and compromising your financial stability.

Conclusion

Personal loans are a valuable tool for meeting your financial needs, but they must be utilised responsibly. To avoid falling into spiralling debt, you must exercise financial discipline, establish a sensible budget, and make sure to make timely repayments. You should also compare the terms of various personal loans before making a decision.

GNMI: Update on Discloseable Transaction Deemed Disposal of Equity Interest in Chesir Luzhai

HONG KONG, Dec 8, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – On December 6, 2023, Global New Material International Holdings Limited (the “Company”, or “GNMI”, Stock Code: 06616.HK) disclosed the latest progress of the Capital Increase Agreement in Chesir Luzhai.

The Board is pleased to announce that, as at the date hereof, all of the conditions precedent to the Capital Increase Agreement have been fulfilled, and the total consideration for the Capital Increase in the amount of RMB1 billion in cash has been received by Chesir Luzhai from the Investor.

According to the announcement of GNMI dated 20 November 2023 (the “Announcement”), Chesir Luzhai, an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Investor entered into the Capital Increase Agreement, pursuant to which the Investor has conditionally agreed to inject RMB1 billion in cash into Chesir Luzhai. Upon Completion, Chesir Luzhai will remain the core subsidiary of the Company and its financial results will continue to be consolidated in the Group’s accounts.

GNMI has made significant progress towards its goals and maintained a steady momentum of business development. Simultaneously, the Company has been actively seeking international acquisition opportunities with strong foundations and advanced technology to further enhance its core competitiveness. In August 2023, GNMI successfully completed the acquisition of CQV, a famous pearlescent pigment manufacturer in Korea and a renowned brand in the global pearlescent pigment industry, which marks a milestone in the Group’s international expansion plans.

The Company has also announced its intention to seize opportunities and expand its business presence in the international pearlescent pigments industry. It will continue to follow the strategy of “Endogenous Development and Outward Expansion” to accelerate the Group’s various strategic plans. The completion of the Capital Increase Agreement will provide the Company with additional working capital for future developments.

Leveraging the unique materials, the Company offers an expansive range of over 1000 distinct product variations catering to diverse industrial, exterior, and cosmetic applications.

Online Video Remains the Growth Engine of Content Investment with Local Content Still Key to Acquiring Subscribers

SINGAPORE, Dec 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The Asia Video Industry Association held its annual OTT Summit in Singapore on 5 December, where over 90% of the speakers were senior female executives from across the video industry in Asia Pacific. This year’s summit was designed to try and redress the gender imbalance seen in many industry conferences.

The Summit opened with Dhivya T, Lead Analyst, Head of Content & Platform Insights, Media Partners Asia, presenting an overview of the state of streaming in Asia, a market where competition was very much driven by a battle for share of time, with premium video on demand (VOD) fighting with social media and user-generated content (UGC).

Competition was also giving rise to new business models and strategies beyond the traditional AVOD and SVOD models, including mobile gaming, ecommerce and bundle subscriptions becoming more common. And with a higher focus in increasing ARPUs, price increases have also become prevalent.

Ex-China, online video revenues in Asia Pacific were expected to hit US$46 billion in 2028, up from US$29 billion this year. While SVOD was expected to have a CAGR of 6.4 percent, premium AVOD will see a growth rate of almost 18 percent, led by Japan, India, and Korea. In Southeast Asia, Indonesia was emerging as the leading market for AVOD, with Thailand for SVOD.

In terms of content trends and investment, although pay TV remained the largest vertical, online video was the growth engine of video content investment, with local and Asian content leading premium VOD viewership with the highest reach. Hence local content remained key to acquiring subscribers in the region, and constantly over-indexing with new users.

In the world of streaming, Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) was also much talked about at the Summit as the new kid on the block, as it mimicked the experience of linear TV, delivering scheduled content, with advertising included. Driving the growth of FAST in Asia was the penetration of Smart TVs in the region, with 80% of OTT viewers in APAC using Connected TV (CTV), and with one-third of OTT viewing on CTV, shared Samantha Cooke, Head of Product Marketing, Samsung Ads APAC. But FAST channels were not always about making money, as FAST was also used for marketing, outreach and brand building, added Roberta Cambio, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Brightcove.

Senior marketeers from the major platforms too chimed in on the importance of brand building, as the mantra was no longer acquiring subscribers at all costs but focus on keeping the ones you have. For Anuja Trivedi, Chief Marketing Officer, Shemaroo Entertainment, marketing was now more aligned to the business, as consumers who saw campaigns engaged better as well. And partnerships which built more value can only build more excitement for the product and engagement for the platform, said Trivedi. Sarah Lim, Senior Solutions Engineer, Akamai Technologies, also added that people, platform and the technology were what will help drive your strategy forward for the future. “Marketing is greater than the sum of its parts,” said Lim.

With 71% of viewers in APAC watching advertising supported streaming on top of linear TV viewing, Chloe Neo, Chair for Media & Measurement, AAMS & CEO, OMG Singapore, was also seeing growth from regional clients with a greater inclination to look at branding, with the reallocation of budgets into OTT tending to be from the big brands, due to their expectations on quality content. While investment was coming from the linear TV side, more clients were now embracing CTV and addressability for strategic benefit, and not just for incremental reach, added Anita Munro, CIO, Southeast & North Asia, Chair, APAC Investment Committee, GroupM.

A strong focus on content closed off the Summit, with panellists agreeing that Asian content could not be lumped together. There was huge variety within what is labelled Chinese or Indian content. Nimisha Pandey, Chief Content Officer, Hindi Originals, ZEE5, emphasised that story telling trumped investment. “Audiences don’t care how much money has gone into content, if it connects, it connects,” she said.

Marianne Lee, Chief of Content Acquisition and Development, Viu, noted, “Each local market has their own strategy which complements the regional strategy. While it is important for the content to travel outside, the content must also do well locally,” said Lee. In agreement, Agnes Rozario, Director of Content, ASTRO, added, “There will always be certain types of content that travel better than others. But it has to work in the home market first.”

One market which saw things a little differently was Thailand where Kirana Cheewachuen, Deputy Director, Planning & Business Development, Strategic Content Group, True Corporation, saw huge potential in the overseas growth and popularity of Thai content, and international success was her primary goal.

Sharing her strategy for the Pacific Rim in the closing session, Beverley McGarvey, EVP, Chief Content Officer & Head of Paramount+, Paramount ANZ, said that Australia was a mature market at a pivotal point now as audiences were adjusting between more traditional legacy media and streaming. Hence accelerating growth in streaming while maintaining linear businesses and making content that can work across platforms was what was needed in order to remain viable.

The OTT Summit is proudly sponsored by Gold Sponsors Brightcove, INVIDI, Nagra, Warner Bros Discovery; Silver Sponsors Akamai, Broadpeak, CDNetworks, Irdeto, Moloco, Publica, PubMatic, Shemaroo; Bronze Sponsor Dolby.

With an audience of more than 200 forum participants, Minister Bahlil stated that the investment climate in Indonesia is continually growing, and the country remains open to collaborating with investors from Singapore to invest in Indonesia. He emphasized Indonesia’s openness to investors from all countries, not offering special privileges to specific nations.

“Despite facing political events, I am confident that politics wouldn’t hinder investments and the government will keep facilitating business permits through the Online Single Submission (OSS) Indonesia application,” said Bahlil.

Indonesian Ambassador to Singapore Suryo Pratomo added that Indonesia, rich in natural resources, holds great potential. However, he stressed the importance of focusing on environmentally sustainable industries and ensuring well-being for future generations.

BIP Asia Forum and Entrepreneur Day shed light on innovation and tech trends

HONG KONG, Dec 10, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The Business of IP Asia Forum (BIP Asia Forum), jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government (HKSAR Government), along with Entrepreneur Day (E-Day) hosted by the HKTDC, attracted more than 140 international intellectual property (IP) experts and business leaders who explored how IP and innovation enhance business growth and boost start-up collaboration.

The events, held on 7-8 December, offered a plethora of engaging activities, including forums, exhibitions, competitions, workshops and business matching, with more than 350 exhibitors from IP, innovation and technology (I&T), start-ups and sustainability taking part to network, exchange insights on the latest in IP and innovation and seize business opportunities .

More than 200 business matching meetings were held at Entrepreneur Day. The BIP Asia Forum welcomed over 2,500 participants, while E-Day attracted more than 10,000 visitors.

With IP and innovation being inextricably linked, this year’s BIP Asia Forum was organised under the theme IP & Innovation: Steering New Economic Growth. The event kicked off with a Policy Dialogue – Powering Economic Growth through a Future-ready IP Policy, where international IP experts and government representatives discussed the latest trends in IP commercialisation, the economic value it generates, related legal issues and future policy direction.

Rowel S. Barba, Chair of the Intellectual Property Rights Experts Group of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), said: “APAC economies need responsive, adaptable and future-proof IP policies to drive innovation that address environmental challenges, promote inclusivity and facilitate adaptable business practices. Collaboration between stakeholders is critical in order to create a balanced approach to IP protection. Benchmarking and identifying best practices can also ensure consistent IP protection across economies.”

Tech Firms and Experts Discuss IP Updates

The meteoric surge in the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has given rise to many legal issues, including copyright infringement over creative works generated by AI.

At the Forum’s Inspo Talk, legal experts discussed these legal issues and potential IP issues when engaging with the online marketplace. The conference also provided training courses for IP owners and users, covering topics such as the fundamentals of IP, IP disputes in e-commerce, copyright and design in the digital age, and trademark management.

Alongside the conference, IPHatch Asia gathered global tech pioneers to discuss their IP best practices. Previous IPHatch competition winners also shared their entrepreneurship journey.

In addition, the IP & Innovation Market gathered around 50 exhibitors showcasing over 30 innovations to further strengthen IP commercialisation and facilitate collaboration. Mr. Peng Maoxiang, Vice President of Intellectual Property Publishing House, one of the exhibitors, remarked: “The IP services industry in the Greater Bay Area is developing steadily, driven by strong demand for the industry, which is essential for business growth. Hong Kong’s IP services industry ought to be strategically positioned to draw innovators from both global and Asian markets. The city’s IP development should leverage its political, economic and industrial strengths. Events like BIP Asia, can foster an innovative environment, which is vital to promote IP development.”

Entrepreneur Day boosts collaboration

As HKTDC’s anchor start-up event, E-Day featured over 50 industry leaders from around the world sharing their insights and experiences. Over 200 business matching sessions and networking activities were organised alongside insightful seminars. The exhibition also featured over 300 start-ups, innovation projects and start-up support services from 11 countries and regions to facilitate collaboration opportunities.

In addition, Investment NSW from Australia took part in the event for the first time and brought along nine start-ups to demonstrate healthtech, green tech and smart city tech. Furthermore, start-ups heard from GBA incubators all there is to know about establishing a business in the region.

To encourage entrepreneurship among the youth, 50 local start-ups, supported by the HKSAR Government’s Home and Youth Affairs Bureau’s Funding Scheme for Youth Entrepreneurship in the GBA, participated at E-Day.

Moongate, a Hong Kong start up offering NFT ticketing and membership solutions, joined E-Day for the first time as a Start-up Express 2023 winner. Co-Founder Peter Hui said: “As a company that started two years ago, we are happy to participate in E-Day gives us the opportunity to meet face-to-face with business partners, attract potential investors as well as showcase our services. We connected with a venture capitalist who is interested in our market potential as one of the world’s top three NFT ticketing platforms. We are hopeful that it would be the first step towards securing potential investment.”

A venture capitalist from India, who serves clients from Saudi Arabia and Dubai, visited E-Day to source innovative tech solutions. He was particularly interested in a couple of start-ups offering sustainable solutions using robotics and innovative building materials that have market potential. He remarked that he was pleased that E-day provided the opportunity for him to connect with these start-ups and he would explore possible collaboration with them.

The venture capitalist also visited the booth of GreenCoat, an Australian company offering plasma-coating for windows that helps increase a building’s energy efficiency, to explore the possibility of piloting its products in other markets.

Embracing tech for a sustainable future

Various seminars and exhibitions were held across four major series, Emerging Trends for Tech and Innovation, Fuelling the Future, Market Exploration and Inspirational Masterclass. The series focused on the latest trends in I&T to equip start-ups and SMEs to help them seize market opportunities.

With the increasing importance of ESG globally, a seminar was held at E-Day on this theme. The seminar explored ESG best practices, sustainable development and brand building.

Additionally, international brand experts discussed ways to leverage the latest AI chatbot technology as a tool for brand marketing.
