The is the entry-level model in Sonos's soundbar range. To keep the price down, Sonos has omitted connectivity, which means no Dolby Atmos.

It is small enough to sit beneath a gaming monitor or a small TV – of course, if you have a massive , you're going to want a bigger to do it justice. Having said that, the Ray's audio output does seem significantly larger than the soundbar's dimensions suggest. Dialogue is clear and forthright, and the audio has plenty of texture. In our initial review, we noted a strange buzzing sound in its low end that proved distracting. Thankfully that has since been fixed via a firmware update, and we duly bumped the Ray's score up to four stars. It also has Sonos's Trueplay technology, which calibrates its sound to your room.

NAVI MUMBAI: Almost two months after a 49-year-old woman was found dead amidst the bushes at a desolate stretch near Valap village in Panvel, the crime unit II of Navi Mumbai police last week succeeded in arresting the accused, identified as Sharad Ghanshyam Sahu, 45, from Rewa in Madhya Pradesh. Information technology played a crucial role in identifying and hunting down the accused in the neighbouring state. When the case was taken over by crime unit II in October, they found out that as the incident happened at an isolated area in the evening, there were no CCTVs or eyewitnesses. So, they decided to use advanced technology means of investigation to locate clues. “The place where the body was found was a remote spot with not even a proper pathway. Detection was done using technical analysis of the data procured through an internet search engine, which took some time. We were in receipt of dump data of over 1,000 odd people and their online activities, and using logical analysis, the list was weeded out and eventually we zeroed in on the suspect,” said deputy commissioner of police, crime, Amit Kale. The deceased, identified as Sangeeta Rajendra Agwane, 49, was found unresponsive by her son and complainant, Sandesh Rajendra Agwane, 32, on October 7. He had last spoken with his mother at 6:55pm and had asked her to get some curd on her way. When she failed to reach home, the worried son and the family went searching for her. A local shopkeeper told them that he saw her taking the ‘kutcha’ road to their house after buying curd. Eventually, the family found her lying unconscious amidst the bushes on the path. Police were alerted around 11:30pm. The doctor of Sub-District Hospital in Panvel declared the women dead on arrival on October 8, at 3:15 am. Police initially registered an accidental death report (ADR) but later registered a case under sections 103 (murder) and 311 (robbery) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) after postmortem revealed the cause of death as strangulation. And, then began the hunt for the murderer which led the crime branch to getting help from IT tools and tracking down the accused. During interrogation, more details emerged of the murder motive. The accused, originally from Assam, was working as a welder in Panvel and nurtured a deep liking for the deceased woman. He knew that the deceased took private tuition classes for standard 1-12 students in two batches - 8am-10am and 4pm-7pm. “On the day she was murdered, she had finished the class at 7pm and was walking towards her home, when Sahu began stalking her. He was aware of her routine and followed her through the kutcha road that led to her home. He has confessed to trying to get physical with her, which she resisted. Agitated with her rejection, he strangled her with his ‘gamcha’ (towel),” said ACP Landge. Following her death, the accused took off with her jewellery, purse and mobile phone – a mistake that would prove to be costly for him. It was the phone that ultimately played a crucial role in his detection. “A month following the incident, we received data that stated that the phone of the victim was still in use. The phone location was traced to Madhya Pradesh and a team was sent there. The phone was found to be in possession of the brother-in-law of the accused,” said senior police inspector, crime unit (II), Umesh Gawli. The accused was arrested on Saturday and was produced in court which remanded him in police custody. “Investigation is underway to locate the other robbed items,” Gawli said.Taylor Swift gifts children’s hospital patient a twinning outfit | CNN

Fiscal 2024 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $3.69, up 15%. See "Reconciliation of Selected GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results" below. Commenting on the results, Al White, Cooper's President and CEO said, "Fiscal 2024 was a great year for Cooper having achieved record consolidated revenues, including record CooperVision revenues, record CooperSurgical revenues and record non-GAAP EPS. We look forward to continued success in fiscal 2025 and thank all of our employees for driving these results."

Gross margin of 67% compared with 65% in last year’s fourth quarter driven by price and efficiency gains. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was similar to last year at 67%. Operating margin of 19% compared with 15% in last year’s fourth quarter driven by SG&A expense leverage and stronger gross margins. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin was 26%, up from 24% last year. Interest expense of $27.0 million compared with $26.3 million in last year's fourth quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, interest expense was $25.6 million, down from $26.4 million. Cash provided by operations of $268.1 million offset by capital expenditures of $139.9 million resulted in free cash flow of $128.2 million. Fourth Quarter CooperVision (CVI) Revenue Revenue of $676.4 million, up 9% from last year’s fourth quarter, up 8% in constant currency, up 8% organically.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 25% compared with 24% in fiscal 2023. Cash provided by operations of $709.3 million offset by capital expenditures of $421.2 million resulted in free cash flow of $288.1 million. Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Guidance The Company initiated its fiscal year 2025 financial guidance. Details are summarized as follows: Fiscal 2025 total revenue of $4,080 - $4,158 million (organic growth of 6% to 8%) CVI revenue of $2,733 - $2,786 million (organic growth of 6.5% to 8.5%) CSI revenue of $1,347 - $1,372 million (organic growth of 4% to 6%) Fiscal 2025 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $3.92 - $4.02 Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance excludes amortization and impairment of intangible assets, and certain income or gains and charges or expenses including acquisition and integration costs which we may incur as part of our continuing operations. With respect to the Company’s guidance expectations, the Company has not reconciled non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance to GAAP diluted earnings per share due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting acquisition-related, integration and restructuring charges and expenses, which are reconciling items between the non-GAAP and GAAP measures. Due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of such charges and expenses that impact GAAP diluted earnings per share, the Company is not able to provide such guidance. Reconciliation of Selected GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results To supplement our financial results and guidance presented on a GAAP basis, we provide non-GAAP measures such as non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, as well as constant currency and organic revenue growth because we believe they are helpful for the investors to understand our consolidated operating results. Management uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, to make operating decisions, and to plan and forecast for future periods. The non-GAAP measures exclude costs which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. We provide further details of the non-GAAP adjustments made to arrive at our non-GAAP measures in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations below. Our non-GAAP financial results and guidance are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. To present constant currency revenue growth, current period revenue for entities reporting in currencies other than the United States dollar are converted into United States dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the corresponding period in the prior year. To present organic revenue growth, we excluded the effect of foreign currency fluctuations and the impact of any acquisitions, divestitures and discontinuations that occurred in the comparable period. We define the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is useful for investors as an additional measure of liquidity because it represents cash that is available to grow the business, make strategic acquisitions, repay debt, or buyback common stock. Management uses free cash flow internally to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate our business. In addition, we use free cash flow to help plan and forecast future periods. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. EPS, amounts and percentages may not sum or recalculate due to rounding.

(8) In fiscal 2021, the Company transferred its CooperVision intellectual property and goodwill to its UK subsidiary. As a result, we recorded a deferred tax asset equal to approximately $2.0 billion as a one-time tax benefit in accordance with U.S. GAAP in fiscal 2021 as subsequently adjusted for changes in UK tax law.

Pursuit Minerals confident of attracting major miner attention in Argentina Country has seen an increase in lithium activity since election of President Javier Milei Australia looking a bit sluggish in comparison Our High Voltage column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, rare earths, and vanadium. Even though the lithium price is in the trenches due to oversupply and slowing EV demand, there’s still plenty of moves happening in the sector this week. For example, junior explorer Pursuit Minerals (ASX:PUR) made some solid steps on the pathway to becoming a commercial producer in one of the world’s top emerging lithium jurisdictions. The company announced it has more than quadrupled its Argentine lithium resource at Rio Grande Sur 1.104Mt of contained lithium carbonate equivalent, grading 505.8mg/l Li with 591,800t LCE grading 515.1mg/l Li in the indicated category and 512,500t LCE grading 495.4mg/l Li in the inferred category. This comes ahead of the start of a 250tpa pilot operation in Q1 2025 and has caught the eye of investors – and major miners – who’ve been following lithium news in Argentina since the election of its now President Javier Milei late last year led to dramatic reforms to the country’s resources sector. During his campaign, Milei promised to free Argentines from the “oppression” of the state and presented sweeping reforms including steps to facilitate exports, end price controls and privatise companies in a bid to kick-start the process of economic de-regulation. And Argentina’s mining and resources sector is amongst the beneficiaries with the provisions including customs and foreign exchange incentives to encourage investment in the country. “ This resource upgrade elevates Pursuit into a league that commands attention from major mining companies seeking significant lithium investments,” MD and CEO Aaron Revelle said. “The scale of this resource opens the door to significant offtake discussions with several already underway. “It's clear this is no minor upgrade; it's a transformational major resource with the potential to make a substantial impact on the supply chain. Pursuit continues to make progress at the lithium carbonate plant in Salta and anticipate first production of Lithium Carbonate in Q1 2025.” Offtake discussions are continuing with the company fielding multiple requests for product samples from potential partners, Revelle said. “We will further focus on commercial scale production scenarios looking to unlock value for commercial scale Lithium Carbonate production in the near term,” he said. Argentina catches major miners' attention Both Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO) and BHP (ASX:BHP) have entered the Argentinian scene now, pouring in upwards of $13b to acquire lithium and copper assets this year at a time of weak pricing. Rio recently announced a $10b deal to acquire Arcadium Lithium (ASX:LTM) , a counter-cyclical investment that cemented the mining giant’s belief in lithium’s long term prospects, direct lithium extraction processing tech and Argentina’s status as an emerging mining jurisdiction. Its top brass recently reiterated projections lithium demand would grow fivefold by 2035, with a decision on the up to 60,000tpa LCE Rincon development in Argentina due at the end of 2024. It is a show of confidence in Argentina’s lithium scene, with Rio Grande Sur among a handful of large, high-grade resources not owned by the majors. By way of comparison, the more advanced Argosy Minerals’ Rincon brine, where a 12,000tpa LCE project is due for FID in H2 2025, is smaller and runs at a lithium grade of just 329mg/l. Enthusiasm in Argentina is quite the comparison when you look at recent moves in Australia’s lithium sector, where the WA state gov had to throw explorers and miners a life line amid ramp up concerns and blowouts at plants in WA’s south owned by lithium giants like Tianqi, IGO and Albemarle. Since the start of this year we’ve seen Core Lithium (ASX:CXO) close its Finniss mine in the Northern Territory, Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) announcing it would place its secondary Ngungaju plant at Pilgangoora on care and maintenance, Arcadium Lithium (ASX:LTM) planning to close its Mt Cattlin mine in 2025, and Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) announcing a shut down of its Bald Hill mine, only acquired last year from the administrators of collapsed Alita Resources, placing 300 jobs on the line. And last month, Greenbushes part-owner Albemarle announced plans to chop 6-7% of its global workforce, which comes after the company suspended work to construct two additional 25,000tpa lithium hydroxide trains at a plant near Bunbury in WA’s South West.

Cap Standouts Miramar Resources (ASX:M2R) The company says analysis of RC drill samples from its Mount Vernon project – part of its Bangemall nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum group elements projects in WA – have confirmed the presence of nickel and copper sulphides. The project is part of a geological province in WA’s Gascoyne region that is the same age as the Giles Complex which hosts the large Nebo and Babel Ni-Cu deposits in the West Musgrave region. Bangemall has been identified by the Geological Survey of Western Australia, Geoscience Australia and the CSIRO as having high prospectivity for mineralisation associated with the Kulkatharra Dolerite sills – a feature that reads like the giant Norilsk Ni-Cu-PGE deposits in Russia. This is the first time nickel and copper sulphides have been confirmed within the Kulkatharra Dolerite. While no firm conclusions could be made about potential zoning due to limitations in the resolution of the micro-XRF analysis, the company says the new data indicates the potential for deposits where these nickel-copper sulphides could accumulate. MTM Critical Metals (ASX:MTM) The company has snagged approval of its shares to trade on the over the counter market (OTCQB) in the United States, opening access to North American capital and liquidity. The company has been advancing a technology known as flash joule heating with Rice University in Texas, and has been moving strongly since the announcement last week of restrictions on Chinese exports to the US of gallium, germanium and antimony. The former two are among the metals MTM is looking to produce from scrap in a partnership with Indium Corporation leveraging its FJH tech. MTM MD Michael Walshe said: “This milestone reflects our dedication to broadening MTM’s global reach and investor base. The OTCQB listing not only enhances accessibility for US investors but also underscores our dedication to advancing sustainable technologies like FJH. “These innovations are crucial to onshoring critical material supply chains, enabling the efficient extraction of metals from unconventional waste streams. “By fostering greater national autonomy and sovereignty in critical supply chains, this aligns with US priorities, especially in light of China’s recent export ban on gallium and germanium. “These strategic metals are indispensable for key technologies, including semiconductors and military defence systems. “Listing on the OTCQB will greatly improve access for US-based investors to trade MTM shares, aligning with the ongoing progress of our FJH development program. “Additionally, we anticipate that dual trading on the OTCQB will help diversify our shareholder base and broaden exposure to a wider pool of investors.” Aldoro Resources (ASX:ARN) The company has been moving on surface sampling at the Kameelburg niobium project in Namibia, with investors hoping it will deliver a major niobium discovery – and now Aldoro has confirmed that niobium mineralisation exists across 220 metres of line 3 at an average grade of 0.70% Nb2O5. The commodity, largely used in high-strength and lightweight steel alloys, is highly concentrated, with one mine in Brazil’s Araxa locale owned by CBMM responsible for over 80% of global mined production. Just last week the company reported a 262m line of samples averaging over 0.5% Nb2O5 including 94m with samples averaging 0.93% Nb2O5. A critical diamond drilling program is ongoing, so stay tuned for more news on that front. Green Critical Minerals (ASX:GCM) Green Critical Minerals is well on the way to constructing a pilot plant in NSW to commercialise its VHD tech, where graphite blocks will be produced for the computing sector and solar thermal energy storage systems. The company acquired the tech back in October, drawn by its ability to convert graphite into very high-density graphite blocks that have among the highest thermal conductivity ever recorded for any bulk material – up to 617 W/m·K along the grain – and the lowest electrical resistivity (of 1.2 μΩ·m) ever measured for any bulk graphite product. Notable applications include materials for the defence and nuclear industries, thermal energy storage systems, high-performance electronics, battery electrodes, heat sinks and aerospace. This pilot plant has been designed to support the parallel development of heat sinks and solar-thermal blocks. Smaller VHD blocks will be produced, designed specifically for heat sinks in the high-performance computing sector – for example for gaming computers, super computers and AI data centres. The larger VHD blocks are tailored for solar-thermal energy storage systems, a market with growing demand for innovative solutions to decarbonise power generation and industrial processes. The company says these blocks are critical components for thermal energy storage (TES) in utility-scale renewable energy projects, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Construction has commenced, with receipt of all critical equipment required, with the plant on track for commissioning in Q3 FY25.

The Maharashtra cyber police have warned citizens about scammers sending fake wedding invitations through social media platforms and inducing unsuspecting victims to download a fake APK file containing malware. “Scammers send fake wedding invitations through WhatsApp, Instagram or other such apps with links to download a fake APK file. Installing it can add malware or steal personal information, data, and could also lead to privacy or financial losses,” the cyber police said. “Always confirm the invitation directly with the sender. Do not click on suspicious links or download un-trusted apps. Look for suspicious domains or spelling errors in links. Keep security software updated on all devices. Report suspicious messages to the platform or cyber-crime authorities,” it added. The police also issued an alert related to banking APK fraud that involves scammers tricking users into installing fake banking apps through phishing links or messages, stealing personal and financial information. “Only use Google Play Store or Apple App Store for banking apps. Look at the developer’s name and app reviews before installing. Don’t click on links from unknown emails, SMS, or social media. Add two-factor authentication for extra security on your bank account. Update your phone and apps to fix security issues,” the alert stated.Letters submitted by BDN readers are verified by BDN Opinion Page staff. Send your letters to letters@bangordailynews.com Where are Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King about Donald Trump’s nominees? Getting them on the record would seem to be important. A few days ago Sen. Collins essentially said the FBI will take care of it. Way to pass the proverbial buck! I am sure she thinks there are checks and balances in place that will hold Trump at bay. Sen. King hasn’t said much since the middle of November. So politely cautious. They should be yelling “danger” from the rooftops. This next month will be about setting the tone for the Trump presidency. Trump is clear about his intentions. His nominations for his administration span the rather short gamut from insane to just really concerning. If that’s how he begins this presidency, it implies he will go far with the same rash, thoughtless decision-making processes he is using now. Forget nominating people by the depth of their experience. It’s a party for super loyalists, friends, super donors and family. If there’s not a position for a friend, make one up (will the FBI vet a position that Trump just created?) Ambassadorships are a great place for family members . A show on Fox “News” is the perfect audition for secretary of something. And Trump is off and running. In light of that, being cautious and polite is really dangerous. It gives Trump the impression he can do anything he wants. Why are Collins and King not saying more? Why? If they don’t stand up to Trump now, I believe there will be hell to pay after Jan. 20.

The assembly, led by the opposition party Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), passed motions against Choe Jae-hae, chair of the Board of Audit and Inspection; Lee Chang-soo, chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office; and Cho Sang-won and Choi Jae-hun, both of whom are senior prosecutors under Lee. The party has also cited his failure to comply with a parliamentary request to submit documents related to the audit as reasoning for the impeachment motion, according to the publication. Elsewhere, the party has accused the three prosecutors of failing to indict the first lady over her alleged involvement in a stock price manipulation scheme involving imported car distributor Deutsch Motors Inc. Lawmakers voted 188–4 to pass the impeachment motion against Choe, 185–3 to pass the motion against Lee, 187–4 against Cho, and 186–4 against Choi, according to local media. Members of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) boycotted the vote, which they say is politically motivated in part because both Lee and Cho led investigations into DPK leader Lee Jae-myung. All four senior government officials will be suspended from their duties while South Korea’s Constitutional Court decides whether or not to uphold their impeachment, a process that could take up to 180 days. Opposition parties need a two-thirds majority to pass the impeachment bill, which also needs the support of at least eight lawmakers from the ruling party in order to pass. The Constitutional Court will then decide whether to uphold it. Jo Seoung-lae, spokesperson of the DPK, told multiple media that it will push for a National Assembly vote on Yoon’s impeachment motion on Dec. 8. The spokesperson called Yoon’s martial law declaration an “unconstitutional, illegal rebellion or coup.” Yoon’s PPP has said it will oppose the move. South Korea’s president declared martial law on Dec. 3 as part of what he said were efforts to combat unspecified threats from “anti-state forces” within the opposition. The move sent shockwaves around the country and sparked widespread protests. Within hours of the proclamation being issued, the National Assembly, with 190 of its 300 members present, unanimously passed a motion for martial law to be lifted. Yoon rescinded the declaration roughly six hours after first issuing it. Since then, several of his aides have since resigned, including his presidential chief of staff, his national security adviser, and his chief of staff for policy, according to the presidential office. On Dec. 4, Yoon’s office announced that his Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun had also stepped down. The president replaced him with Choi Byung Hyuk, who is South Korea’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia, his office said.

Pursuit Minerals confident of attracting major miner attention in Argentina Country has seen an increase in lithium activity since election of President Javier Milei Australia looking a bit sluggish in comparison Our High Voltage column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, rare earths, and vanadium. Even though the lithium price is in the trenches due to oversupply and slowing EV demand, there’s still plenty of moves happening in the sector this week. For example, junior explorer Pursuit Minerals (ASX:PUR) made some solid steps on the pathway to becoming a commercial producer in one of the world’s top emerging lithium jurisdictions. The company announced it has more than quadrupled its Argentine lithium resource at Rio Grande Sur 1.104Mt of contained lithium carbonate equivalent, grading 505.8mg/l Li with 591,800t LCE grading 515.1mg/l Li in the indicated category and 512,500t LCE grading 495.4mg/l Li in the inferred category. This comes ahead of the start of a 250tpa pilot operation in Q1 2025 and has caught the eye of investors – and major miners – who’ve been following lithium news in Argentina since the election of its now President Javier Milei late last year led to dramatic reforms to the country’s resources sector. During his campaign, Milei promised to free Argentines from the “oppression” of the state and presented sweeping reforms including steps to facilitate exports, end price controls and privatise companies in a bid to kick-start the process of economic de-regulation. And Argentina’s mining and resources sector is amongst the beneficiaries with the provisions including customs and foreign exchange incentives to encourage investment in the country. “ This resource upgrade elevates Pursuit into a league that commands attention from major mining companies seeking significant lithium investments,” MD and CEO Aaron Revelle said. “The scale of this resource opens the door to significant offtake discussions with several already underway. “It's clear this is no minor upgrade; it's a transformational major resource with the potential to make a substantial impact on the supply chain. Pursuit continues to make progress at the lithium carbonate plant in Salta and anticipate first production of Lithium Carbonate in Q1 2025.” Offtake discussions are continuing with the company fielding multiple requests for product samples from potential partners, Revelle said. “We will further focus on commercial scale production scenarios looking to unlock value for commercial scale Lithium Carbonate production in the near term,” he said. Argentina catches major miners' attention Both Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO) and BHP (ASX:BHP) have entered the Argentinian scene now, pouring in upwards of $13b to acquire lithium and copper assets this year at a time of weak pricing. Rio recently announced a $10b deal to acquire Arcadium Lithium (ASX:LTM) , a counter-cyclical investment that cemented the mining giant’s belief in lithium’s long term prospects, direct lithium extraction processing tech and Argentina’s status as an emerging mining jurisdiction. Its top brass recently reiterated projections lithium demand would grow fivefold by 2035, with a decision on the up to 60,000tpa LCE Rincon development in Argentina due at the end of 2024. It is a show of confidence in Argentina’s lithium scene, with Rio Grande Sur among a handful of large, high-grade resources not owned by the majors. By way of comparison, the more advanced Argosy Minerals’ Rincon brine, where a 12,000tpa LCE project is due for FID in H2 2025, is smaller and runs at a lithium grade of just 329mg/l. Enthusiasm in Argentina is quite the comparison when you look at recent moves in Australia’s lithium sector, where the WA state gov had to throw explorers and miners a life line amid ramp up concerns and blowouts at plants in WA’s south owned by lithium giants like Tianqi, IGO and Albemarle. Since the start of this year we’ve seen Core Lithium (ASX:CXO) close its Finniss mine in the Northern Territory, Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) announcing it would place its secondary Ngungaju plant at Pilgangoora on care and maintenance, Arcadium Lithium (ASX:LTM) planning to close its Mt Cattlin mine in 2025, and Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) announcing a shut down of its Bald Hill mine, only acquired last year from the administrators of collapsed Alita Resources, placing 300 jobs on the line. And last month, Greenbushes part-owner Albemarle announced plans to chop 6-7% of its global workforce, which comes after the company suspended work to construct two additional 25,000tpa lithium hydroxide trains at a plant near Bunbury in WA’s South West.

Cap Standouts Miramar Resources (ASX:M2R) The company says analysis of RC drill samples from its Mount Vernon project – part of its Bangemall nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum group elements projects in WA – have confirmed the presence of nickel and copper sulphides. The project is part of a geological province in WA’s Gascoyne region that is the same age as the Giles Complex which hosts the large Nebo and Babel Ni-Cu deposits in the West Musgrave region. Bangemall has been identified by the Geological Survey of Western Australia, Geoscience Australia and the CSIRO as having high prospectivity for mineralisation associated with the Kulkatharra Dolerite sills – a feature that reads like the giant Norilsk Ni-Cu-PGE deposits in Russia. This is the first time nickel and copper sulphides have been confirmed within the Kulkatharra Dolerite. While no firm conclusions could be made about potential zoning due to limitations in the resolution of the micro-XRF analysis, the company says the new data indicates the potential for deposits where these nickel-copper sulphides could accumulate. MTM Critical Metals (ASX:MTM) The company has snagged approval of its shares to trade on the over the counter market (OTCQB) in the United States, opening access to North American capital and liquidity. The company has been advancing a technology known as flash joule heating with Rice University in Texas, and has been moving strongly since the announcement last week of restrictions on Chinese exports to the US of gallium, germanium and antimony. The former two are among the metals MTM is looking to produce from scrap in a partnership with Indium Corporation leveraging its FJH tech. MTM MD Michael Walshe said: “This milestone reflects our dedication to broadening MTM’s global reach and investor base. The OTCQB listing not only enhances accessibility for US investors but also underscores our dedication to advancing sustainable technologies like FJH. “These innovations are crucial to onshoring critical material supply chains, enabling the efficient extraction of metals from unconventional waste streams. “By fostering greater national autonomy and sovereignty in critical supply chains, this aligns with US priorities, especially in light of China’s recent export ban on gallium and germanium. “These strategic metals are indispensable for key technologies, including semiconductors and military defence systems. “Listing on the OTCQB will greatly improve access for US-based investors to trade MTM shares, aligning with the ongoing progress of our FJH development program. “Additionally, we anticipate that dual trading on the OTCQB will help diversify our shareholder base and broaden exposure to a wider pool of investors.” Aldoro Resources (ASX:ARN) The company has been moving on surface sampling at the Kameelburg niobium project in Namibia, with investors hoping it will deliver a major niobium discovery – and now Aldoro has confirmed that niobium mineralisation exists across 220 metres of line 3 at an average grade of 0.70% Nb2O5. The commodity, largely used in high-strength and lightweight steel alloys, is highly concentrated, with one mine in Brazil’s Araxa locale owned by CBMM responsible for over 80% of global mined production. Just last week the company reported a 262m line of samples averaging over 0.5% Nb2O5 including 94m with samples averaging 0.93% Nb2O5. A critical diamond drilling program is ongoing, so stay tuned for more news on that front. Green Critical Minerals (ASX:GCM) Green Critical Minerals is well on the way to constructing a pilot plant in NSW to commercialise its VHD tech, where graphite blocks will be produced for the computing sector and solar thermal energy storage systems. The company acquired the tech back in October, drawn by its ability to convert graphite into very high-density graphite blocks that have among the highest thermal conductivity ever recorded for any bulk material – up to 617 W/m·K along the grain – and the lowest electrical resistivity (of 1.2 μΩ·m) ever measured for any bulk graphite product. Notable applications include materials for the defence and nuclear industries, thermal energy storage systems, high-performance electronics, battery electrodes, heat sinks and aerospace. This pilot plant has been designed to support the parallel development of heat sinks and solar-thermal blocks. Smaller VHD blocks will be produced, designed specifically for heat sinks in the high-performance computing sector – for example for gaming computers, super computers and AI data centres. The larger VHD blocks are tailored for solar-thermal energy storage systems, a market with growing demand for innovative solutions to decarbonise power generation and industrial processes. The company says these blocks are critical components for thermal energy storage (TES) in utility-scale renewable energy projects, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Construction has commenced, with receipt of all critical equipment required, with the plant on track for commissioning in Q3 FY25.
