Hola Prime Plans to Enter Futures Trading to Solve One of Finance’s Most Persistent Problems: Complexity ACN Newswire

Hola Prime Plans to Enter Futures Trading to Solve One of Finance’s Most Persistent Problems: Complexity

NEW YORK, May 23, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hola Prime, a leading proprietary trading firm, has announced its expansion into futures trading with a clear and ambitious goal: to simplify one of the most complicated and inaccessible segments of the financial markets.While interest in futures trading is steadily rising among both retail and professional traders, the industry remains riddled with barriers that discourage newcomers and frustrate even experienced participants. Complexities like sophisticated trading platforms, use of leverage, complex margin requirements, and confusing expiry structures, the current futures market has long been a space reserved for the few.“The futures market has long been defined by its complexity, and that complexity has often acted as a barrier to broader participation,” said Somesh Kapuria, CEO and Founder of Hola Prime. “At Hola Prime, we believe access to powerful financial instruments shouldn’t be limited by jargon or structural opacity. Our mission is to strip away unnecessary layers, provide clarity through education, simplify this industry, and offer a trading experience that is both sophisticated and accessible. Futures trading should be seen as an opportunity, not a test of endurance.”Despite the strategic leverage and diversification that futures trading offers, the industry remains difficult. The language is opaque - terms like “contango”, “convergence” and “backwardation” leave beginners alienated. Expiry dates and rollovers require precise management, while trading demands advanced tools and precise decisions.Most firms don’t offer much guidance or onboarding. They expect traders to already know how everything works. This makes it hard for new traders to get started, and when combined with the stress of fast-moving markets, it often leads to burnout or losses.Hola Prime plans to completely reimagine the trading experience by putting education at the core. The vision includes creating simple, easy-to-understand resources, such as visual guides, relatable analogies, and clear comparisons with forex, to help simplify complex trading concepts. To ensure traders receive personalized support, Hola Prime aims to launch one-on-one coaching sessions covering everything from technical strategies to emotional resilience.With all of these steps, Hola Prime Academy is set to have a rapid and high-scale expansion.Furthermore, Hola Prime TV is set to become a dedicated platform for live market insights, live trading sessions, expert interviews, and step-by-step strategy breakdowns, helping traders stay informed. Additionally, Hola Prime plans to offer global accessibility, industry-first 1-hour payouts, and a transparent trading environment, breaking down the traditional entry barriers often associated with futures prop trading.Besides this, Hola Prime has removed the unnecessary complexity and created clear, straightforward rules for successful trading. Their straightforward rulebook simplifies futures trading, making it easy to understand and apply.“There’s a fundamental design flaw in how this industry has been built - too much noise, too little clarity,” said Sumedha Sharma, CFO of Hola Prime. “We’re reengineering the trader’s journey to be simple, supportive, and scalable. Futures shouldn’t be a specialist’s game - they should be open to anyone willing to learn.”By rethinking how futures trading is taught, executed, and experienced, Hola Prime is positioning itself not just as a futures prop trading firm but as a problem-solver in an industry overdue for change. In doing so, it’s not simply launching a product. It’s setting a new standard for what trader-first futures trading can look like.About Hola PrimeHola Prime is a global proprietary trading firm with offices in the UK, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Dubai, and India. It supports a diverse community of traders across 175+ countries, offering access to over 150 financial instruments across multiple trading platforms. The firm is known for its structured approach to risk management, transparency, and trader-centric operations.

DCLI Drives Fleet Efficiencies with BlackBerry Radar Deployment Across 100,000 Chassis

ONTARIO, CA, May 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB) today announced that Direct ChassisLink, Inc. ("DCLI"), the largest provider of container chassis to the U.S. intermodal industry, will deploy BlackBerry® Radar® across 100,000 of its DCL53 domestic 53-foot chassis. The rollout is part of a major initiative DCLI is undertaking to enhance the quality, reliability, visibility and operational efficiency of its fleet, with a view to setting a new freight industry standard for data driven decision-making.The deployment represents a deepening in the companies' technological collaboration. DCLI has utilized Radar devices on a subset of its fleet for over five years and after seeing the reliability and intelligence they provide, decided to exponentially increase the number of its chassis deployed with the solution while also recognizing Radar as a top tier supplier.With the BlackBerry Radar asset monitoring solution, DCLI will gain operational visibility, enabling its customers to optimize asset utilization and deliver more streamlined operations. Thanks to the steady stream of near real-time information Radar provides, DCLI will benefit from precise asset tracking, advanced inventory insights, location-based alerts, and optimized driver and terminal efficiency. Integrated sensors will streamline billing processes and enhance fleet optimization, enabling real-time monitoring of chassis to reduce delays and improve logistics planning.The rollout of the technology also reinforces DCLI's commitment to fleet safety and reliability by improving maintenance visibility and response times. This includes preparedness for chassis requiring FMCSA inspections, optimized maintenance scheduling, and enhanced responsiveness for road service - all measures that help minimize downtime, assist with compliance, and help create a safer operating environment for all stakeholders."At a time where the freight industry continues to grapple with driver shortages, rising costs, and supply chain disruptions, the need for advanced asset visibility with enhanced fleet management solutions has never been more important," said Christopher Plaat, SVP and GM of BlackBerry Radar. "With the deployment of Radar, DCLI is taking a vital step in its digital transformation efforts. To that end, we're excited to demonstrate the countless data-driven insights that can be unlocked when you have improved visibility into the status of your chassis. We look forward to continually improving our platform based on customer use cases and feedback.""At DCLI, quality is a top priority, and this initiative reflects our dedication to delivering exceptional value to our customers," said Lee Newitt, chief executive officer at DCLI.

香港, 2025年5月23日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 5月22日,中國知名IP玩具公司52TOYS向港交所遞交招股書,由花旗集團與華泰國際擔任聯席保薦人。52TOYS是繼受市場熱捧的泡泡瑪特、布魯可之後,又一家奔赴港股的IP玩具公司。市場稀缺的多品類IP玩具公司泡泡瑪特股價走高、「奧特曼」背後的布魯可上市火爆、名創優品被傳言拆分TOP TOY籌備上市,IP玩具消費新勢力們正不斷刷新市場熱度。IP玩具是IP衍生品中規模最大的一個細分領域,通常是指與具有知識產權的文化內容相關聯的玩具產品,這些文化內容可以是動漫、影視、遊戲、文學作品、音樂、藝術形象以及各類熱門話題或潮流文化等。52TOYS品牌創立於2015年,目前主要提供靜態玩偶、可動玩偶、發條玩具、變形機甲及拼裝玩具、毛絨玩具及衍生周邊等多品類IP玩具產品。根據灼識咨詢報告,按2024年中國GMV計,52TOYS是中國第二大多品類IP玩具公司。52TOYS聯合創始人、CEO陳威擁有二十余年玩具行業經驗,早年曾先後長期獲授萬代和麥克法蘭等國際玩具品牌的經銷權。另一位聯合創始人黃今,曾聯合開發了風靡全國的桌面遊戲《三國殺》,擁有豐富的IP運營經驗。「大玩家」型的創始人,決定了52TOYS的品牌基因,公司聚集了一批真正熱愛玩具、了解玩具的人,這使得52TOYS能夠持續推出讓市場眼前一亮的產品。早在2016年,52TOYS就推出了中國首個原創變形機甲IP - 猛獸匣系列,該系列產品可在動物形態和方塊形態之間變形,有很高的設計門檻。招股書顯示,2022-2024年,猛獸匣系列產品的GMV超1.9億元,尤其受到日本和美國資深玩具迷的喜愛。2023年,52TOYS推出多款與《流浪地球2》聯名的變形玩具,在玩具市場引發廣泛關註。依托強大的IP內容洞察能力、IP產品設計能力和IP商業化能力,52TOYS開創了獨特的「IP中樞」戰略,以IP為核心驅動跨部門協同合作,統籌各職能部門圍繞IP展開企劃、開發和執行。今年4月,52TOYS官宣「異形」系列新品,六款產品形態橫跨可動人偶、變形玩具、發條玩具、雕像四大品類。在高度還原角色外形和行為特征的同時,兼顧設計的藝術性和玩具的趣味性,引發玩家熱切期待。在IP玩具行業,提供多品類產品的能力稀缺卻極有價值,不僅意味著品牌掌握多樣的創意設計與生產工藝,同時有能力依據IP特點打造不同產品,凸顯和闡釋每個IP的內核。以發達玩具市場日本和美國為例,IP玩具市場由少數多品類運營商主導,兩個市場中三大龍頭所占市場份額分別達72.2%及49.3%。根據灼識咨詢的資料,中國市場預計將呈現相同格局,而52TOYS憑借優勢明顯的產品開發能力,有望進一步取得領先地位。52TOYS獨家「爆品孵化公式」近期,有多個成功的影視動漫IP合作案例的52TOYS又一次被跨界合作夥伴相中。5月,萬達電影公告,稱其旗下全資子公司影時光擬與關聯方中國儒意共同投資52TOYS,雙方將在IP玩具產品的開發及售賣、市場營銷和其他相關領域展開戰略合作。萬達電影為A股影院龍頭公司,中國儒意為港股文化內容龍頭公司,這是一次被稱為「強強聯合」的合作。對於中國影視動漫行業而言,優質IP如「流浪地球」等,需要優質全產業鏈運營平台加持其IP運營,52TOYS這樣熟悉「爆品孵化公式」的企業,能夠通過定製化的產品開發及設計、全渠道銷售和全鏈路運營,幫助合作夥伴進一步豐富IP價值並延長IP生命周期。無獨有偶,5月16日,備受矚目的史迪奇首部真人電影《星際寶貝史迪奇》在全球同步首映。當晚,由迪士尼與52TOYS合作呈現的、位於該片中國首映禮舉辦地北京三裏屯太古裏的南門廣場的史迪奇巨型裝置亮燈,配色靈感正是來自52TOYS於電影上映前夕推出的新品「史迪奇暖粉系列」。52TOYS通過「自有IP運營+頂級授權IP合作」的模式,一方面與國內外頂級授權IP達成長期合作。另一方面,則成功孵化出胖噠幼Panda Roll、Sleep、NOOK、猛獸匣等多個自有IP。招股書顯示,截至2024年末,52TOYS已擁有自有IP35個,授權IP80個。憑借強大的產品設計開發能力和多品類的產品線,52TOYS與IP版權方/授權方建立及保持相輔相成、深度綁定的長期合作,反哺IP價值。例如根據2024年中國GMV統計,52TOYS的蠟筆小新以及貓和老鼠產品系列位列中國同類IP產品第一。除了蠟筆小新、貓和老鼠外,52TOYS還授權運營了哆啦A夢、迪士尼旗下草莓熊、史迪奇等80個國內外知名IP,成功打造多個爆款產品。自有IP方面,52TOYS孵化和運營的自有IP主要分為三類,包括潮流IP,例如NOOK、Sleep、Lilith及CiCiLu;科幻IP,例如猛獸匣;文化IP,例如胖噠幼Panda Roll及超活化IP系列。其中猛獸匣是52TOYS重點打造的護城河產品,除了設計門檻,猛獸匣還拓展了包括漫畫、小說和動漫在內的內容生態,促成跨業態增值的機遇。隨著故事角色的持續發展,IP熱度和粉絲群體不斷擴大,為公司帶來了更廣闊的商業化機會。擁有自有IP和授權IP等多樣化的IP矩陣,能夠根據不同市場需求和消費者興趣調整產品組合,以強大的產品力掌控自營渠道和經銷商渠道,從全球範圍來看,52TOYS的模式與孵化出「海賊王」「七龍珠」等知名IP的日本企業 - 萬代南夢宮很像。2024-2025財年,萬代南夢宮營收達到9556億日元(約454億人民幣),這讓人不禁對52TOYS的未來充滿期待。復合年增長率超過100% 出海前景廣闊當下隨著泡泡瑪特在海外爆火,潮玩IP出海是頭部IP玩具公司必答的課題,而52TOYS是中國最早一批佈局海外的IP玩具企業。招股書顯示,2022至2024年,52TOYS收入由4.6億元增至6.3億元,復合年增長率達16.7%。海外市場增速尤其突出,2022年至2024年,其海外收入由3500萬躍升至1.47億元,復合年增長率超過100%。從2017年起,52TOYS開始佈局並深耕全球化戰略,目前已成功進入東南亞、日韓及北美等關鍵市場。2024年52TOYS日本GMV同比實現增長三倍,其原創的變形機甲產品「猛獸匣 - BEASTBOX系列」成為日本與歐美市場的銷售主力,而「瑞獸系列」以中國傳統文化中的龍、麒麟形象為創作原型,深受海外玩家喜愛。同年,52TOYS還與泰國當地經銷商合作,於曼谷開設首家品牌店,隨後在當地迅速復製同類模式並開設多家新門店,2024年其泰國GMV實現同比增長四倍。52TOYS能快速實現征戰海外,得益於其搭建的全球化供應鏈和線上線下營銷系統,截至2024年末,52TOYS在海外授權品牌門店數量已達16家,覆蓋亞馬遜、蝦皮購物及TikTok等主流電商平台。根據灼識咨詢的數據,全球IP玩具市場規模預計於2029年增長至人民幣7717億元,2024年至2029年期間的復合年增長率為8.0%。面對廣闊市場,玩具消費新勢力開啟了新一輪的跑馬圈地。52TOYS的招股書也提到,未來將繼續探索海外自營模式,從而提升全球品牌影響力和海外盈利能力。國內市場空間同樣可觀。2024年,中國人均國內生產總值突破10000美元。根據灼識咨詢報告,當一個國家的人均GDP超過這一裏程碑後,消費者通常會增加其在文娛產品和服務方面的開支。此外,隨著出生率放緩和家庭小型化,年輕人也面臨著現代社會生活的壓力,這催生了他們對情感消費產品的強勁需求。IP玩具憑借其情感屬性,未來在滿足新消費模式中將扮演更加重要的角色。這與日本及韓國等其他亞洲發達市場的發展路徑高度類似。目前中國IP玩具行業仍處於發展初期,正逐步從品類有限、質量參差不齊的階段,向產品多元化、工藝精致化的方向轉型,行業由頭部企業引領創新,推動IP玩具的質量提升與市場規範化發展。同時,高質量、具有文化特色的中國IP玩具正在逐漸受到國際市場的關註,為52TOYS這樣的中國IP玩具企業解鎖了寶貴的增長機遇。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

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.

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. 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.

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.

寵物飲食正悄悄加劇氣候變遷——但有一個簡單的解決方案

倫敦,2025年5月22日 -(亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com)- 你餵養的狗或貓,對地球造成的破壞可能比你想像的更大。一項最新的研究顯示,傳統以肉類為主的寵物食品帶來了一個長期被忽視的環境代價——它在土地使用、溫室氣體(GHG)排放以及氣候惡化方面有著顯著影響。該綜述研究剛剛發表,指出寵物食品的生產與畜牧業密切相關,而畜牧業每年至少佔全球溫室氣體排放總量的五分之一。隨著全球寵物數量接近十億隻,其環境影響已不容忽視。僅在美國,狗和貓的飲食就佔畜牧業環境負擔的25%至30%。一項分析甚至發現,一隻中型犬在日本的飲食,其環境足跡超過了一般日本人的飲食。但專家指出,這一問題有一個既強有力又切實可行的解決方案。該研究主要作者比利・尼科爾斯(Billy Nicholles)表示:「將寵物轉為營養均衡的純素飲食,可以顯著減少狗和貓的『環境爪印』。這是一個極具潛力的機會,能減輕我們食物系統帶來的環境負擔。」研究審查了21項現有的寵物食品永續性分析,並得出結論:飲食是推動環境影響的最大單一因素。其中,蛋白質的選擇尤為關鍵——富含動物成分的寵物食品始終與更高的環境影響密切相關。相比之下,如果純素寵物飲食在營養上配方合理,則在所有環境影響指標上都有顯著的減排效果。研究指出,如果全球所有寵物狗都採用純素飲食,其節省的食物能量足以養活4.5億人,減少的溫室氣體排放將超過英國一整年的排放總量。「這代表著巨大的潛力,」該研究的合著者、獸醫專家安德魯・奈特教授表示,「現代的純素寵物食品不僅安全,往往還更健康,並且永續性大大提高。」報告還提到了一些正在興起的創新產品,如培養肉培養肉和精密發酵蛋白精密發酵蛋白,這些替代品正逐步進入寵物食品市場。它們承諾提供與肉類相同的口感與營養,但不帶來巨大的環境負擔。隨著消費者需求的增長,研究作者呼籲政府、品牌和公眾重新思考寵物碗裡的內容。尼科爾斯表示:「永續的寵物食品不僅是一個小眾趨勢,它是一個顯而易見卻被忽視的氣候解決方案。」聯絡資訊Billy Nicholles寵物食品研究員billy@bryantresearch.co.uk+44 7921461778Andrew Knight動物福利獸醫學教授andrew.knight@murdoch.edu.au來源:永續寵物食品基金會 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

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.
