<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>Key Points: - Trump plans 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada starting February 1. - Critics warn of inflation and trade retaliation risks. - Supporters see tariffs as a tool to protect U.S. industries.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada starting February 1, signaling a dramatic shift in North American trade policy. The move, revealed during an Oval Office signing ceremony, marks a stark departure from the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) established during Trump’s first term. This decision could lead to higher prices for American consumers and significant changes in trade dynamics with two of the United States’ largest trading partners.



The executive action signed by Trump directs federal agencies to investigate the causes of U.S. trade deficits, evaluate the impact of existing trade agreements, and explore ways to implement stricter trade policies. Among the areas of focus is the USMCA, which the administration will assess to determine whether the agreement adequately serves American workers and businesses. The action also emphasizes the administration’s commitment to reducing the flow of fentanyl and undocumented migrants into the U.S. by leveraging stricter trade measures.



Trump’s proposal to overhaul trade policy aligns with his "America First" agenda, which seeks to prioritize American manufacturers, farmers, and workers. In his inaugural address, Trump emphasized the need to shift the burden of taxation from American citizens to foreign nations through tariffs. The administration’s aim to establish an "External Revenue Service" to collect tariffs further underscores the president’s commitment to this vision. However, the exact mechanisms for implementing these sweeping changes remain under debate within the administration.



Critics argue that imposing such high tariffs could backfire, harming the U.S. economy and straining relationships with key trading partners. Mexico and Canada collectively accounted for 30% of all U.S. imports in 2024, and retaliatory tariffs could impact American exports, particularly in industries like agriculture, automotive, and manufacturing. Economists warn that these measures could also exacerbate inflation, raising costs for American consumers already grappling with economic pressures.



Proponents of the tariff plan argue that import taxes could serve as a strategic tool to protect domestic industries and strengthen the U.S. economy in the long run. Trump has historically used tariff threats to bring foreign nations to the negotiating table, achieving concessions in trade agreements. However, the administration’s current stance has sparked concerns about potential trade wars and the broader implications for global trade relations.



The ideological divide within Trump’s economic team reflects ongoing debates about the best approach to achieve the administration’s goals. Some advisers advocate for a gradual implementation of tariffs to allow time for negotiations, while others support immediate and comprehensive measures to send a strong message. The legal basis for the tariffs, including the possible use of emergency powers, remains a key area of discussion.



As the February 1 deadline approaches, businesses and consumers are bracing for the potential impact of these tariffs. Analysts predict higher costs for imported goods, including electrical devices, transportation equipment, and everyday consumer products. Retaliatory measures from Mexico and Canada could further disrupt supply chains and affect industries reliant on cross-border trade.



The ultimate success of Trump’s trade policy will depend on its execution and the administration’s ability to navigate the complexities of international trade. While the president remains committed to fulfilling his campaign pledges, the long-term consequences of these tariffs on the U.S. economy and global trade landscape remain uncertain. Investors, businesses, and consumers alike will be closely watching as the situation unfolds.

January 21, 2025 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp.&nbsp;(TSXV:&nbsp;<a href="https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/LCE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LCE</a>) (OTCQX:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/CYDVF/overview" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CYDVF</a>) (Frankfurt:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.boerse-frankfurt.de/aktie/century-lithium-corp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">C1Z</a>) (Century Lithium) is pleased to announce it signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Orica Specialty Mining Chemicals (Orica) on January 16, 2025. The non-binding MOU outlines the intent of Century Lithium and Orica to formalize a multiyear offtake agreement for Orica to purchase sodium hydroxide (NaOH) from Century Lithium’s wholly owned Angel Island project near Silver Peak, Nevada. Orica is one of the world’s leading mining and infrastructure solutions providers, and a major US manufacturer and supplier of specialty mining chemicals to Nevada’s mining industry.



“The non-binding MOU with Orica marks a key milestone for Angel Island,” said Century Lithium President and CEO, Bill Willoughby. “The MOU outlines the first expected agreement of its kind for the project and involves a large portion of the surplus sodium hydroxide anticipated during the early years of operation. We are excited to work with Orica and have their support at this stage of development at Angel Island.”



Orica President Specialty Mining Chemicals Andrew Stewart said: "This collaboration signifies our commitment to strengthening and unlocking Nevada's manufacturing and mining sectors. By securing a reliable source of sodium hydroxide from Angel Island, we strengthen the local supply chain and reinforce our dedication to innovative US manufacturing solutions for our customers in North America."



Century Lithium patent-pending process for extracting lithium from the claystone at Angel Island combines chloride leaching with direct lithium extraction and uses salt, in the form of solid sodium chloride or saline brine, to make the reagents for leaching and pH control. In addition to lithium, the process produces surplus sodium hydroxide, the sales of which are anticipated to underpin low operating costs for Angel Island’s primary product, lithium carbonate.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Q4 2024 Results Signal Strength and Momentum for 2025</h3>



ATLANTA, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Depot Inc. (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and leading fintech company, today announced certain preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024.

The Company also expects adjusted EBITDA to range between $11 million and $13 million, an increase of 22% to 44% compared to the $9.0 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2023 and an increase of 19% to 41% compared to the $9.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2024.



“We ended 2024 on a strong note, with an anticipated uptick in sequential revenue and significant improvements in adjusted EBITDA on both a sequential and year-over-year basis,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO and Founder of Bitcoin Depot. “This performance reflects the expansion of our BTM network and our progress in improving kiosk profitability.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements



This press release and any oral statements made in connection herewith include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact, and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expectations of plans, business strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance, including our growth strategy and ability to increase deployment of our products and services, our ability to strengthen our financial profile, and worldwide growth in the adoption and use of cryptocurrencies. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “anticipate,” “appears,” “approximately,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “designed,” “effect,” “estimate,” “evaluate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “initiative,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,“ ”plan,“ ”potential,“ ”priorities,“ ”project,“ ”pursue,“ ”seek,“ ”should,“ ”target,“ ”when,“ ”will,“ ”would,” or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. In making these statements, we rely upon assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future events or financial results. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond our control.



These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of our projected financial information; future global, regional or local economic and market conditions; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations; our ability to manage future growth; our ability to develop new products and services, bring them to market in a timely manner and make enhancements to our platform; the effects of competition on our future business; our ability to issue equity or equity-linked securities; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; and those factors described or referenced in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect our expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our assessments to change.



We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where we are expressly required to do so by law. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.



Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures



This press release includes preliminary Adjusted EBITDA results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP. Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring expenses, share-based compensation, expenses related to the PIPE financing and miscellaneous cost adjustments. Such items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. Bitcoin Depot believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Bitcoin Depot’s results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of Bitcoin Depot’s business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measurements used internally by management to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance and perform strategic and financial planning. However, you should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Bitcoin Depot’s financial results, and further, that Bitcoin Depot may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating this measures. Bitcoin Depot primarily relies on GAAP results and relies on Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP measures on a supplemental basis. No such measure should be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP and may not be indicative of Bitcoin Depot’s historical or future operating results. Bitcoin Depot’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate such measures in the same fashion. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on such measures. Due to some of the information excluded from Adjusted EBITDA calculation being non-ascertainable or non-accessible until the financial close is complete, Bitcoin Depot is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures is included.

Q4 2024 Results Signal Strength and Momentum for 2025



ATLANTA, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Bitcoin Depot Inc. (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and leading fintech company, today announced certain preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024.



The Company expects revenue to range between $135 million and $137 million, compared to $135.3 million reported in the third quarter of 2024 and $148.4 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company also expects adjusted EBITDA to range between $11 million and $13 million, an increase of 22% to 44% compared to the $9.0 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2023 and an increase of 19% to 41% compared to the $9.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2024.



“We ended 2024 on a strong note, with an anticipated uptick in sequential revenue and significant improvements in adjusted EBITDA on both a sequential and year-over-year basis,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO and Founder of Bitcoin Depot. “This performance reflects the expansion of our BTM network and our progress in improving kiosk profitability.

Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact, and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expectations of plans, business strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance, including our growth strategy and ability to increase deployment of our products and services, our ability to strengthen our financial profile, and worldwide growth in the adoption and use of cryptocurrencies. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “anticipate,” “appears,” “approximately,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “designed,” “effect,” “estimate,” “evaluate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “initiative,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,“ ”plan,“ ”potential,“ ”priorities,“ ”project,“ ”pursue,“ ”seek,“ ”should,“ ”target,“ ”when,“ ”will,“ ”would,” or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. In making these statements, we rely upon assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future events or financial results. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond our control.



These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of our projected financial information; future global, regional or local economic and market conditions; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations; our ability to manage future growth; our ability to develop new products and services, bring them to market in a timely manner and make enhancements to our platform; the effects of competition on our future business; our ability to issue equity or equity-linked securities; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; and those factors described or referenced in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect our expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our assessments to change.



We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where we are expressly required to do so by law. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.



Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures



This press release includes preliminary Adjusted EBITDA results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP. Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring expenses, share-based compensation, expenses related to the PIPE financing and miscellaneous cost adjustments. Such items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. Bitcoin Depot believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Bitcoin Depot’s results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of Bitcoin Depot’s business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measurements used internally by management to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance and perform strategic and financial planning. However, you should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Bitcoin Depot’s financial results, and further, that Bitcoin Depot may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating this measures. Bitcoin Depot primarily relies on GAAP results and relies on Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP measures on a supplemental basis. No such measure should be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP and may not be indicative of Bitcoin Depot’s historical or future operating results. Bitcoin Depot’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate such measures in the same fashion. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on such measures. Due to some of the information excluded from Adjusted EBITDA calculation being non-ascertainable or non-accessible until the financial close is complete, Bitcoin Depot is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures is included.

GeoVax Labs, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel therapies and vaccines for solid tumor cancers and many of the world’s most threatening infectious diseases. The company’s lead program in oncology is a novel oncolytic solid tumor gene-directed therapy, Gedeptin®, presently in a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial for advanced head and neck cancers. GeoVax’s lead infectious disease candidate is GEO-CM04S1, a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine targeting high-risk immunocompromised patient populations. Currently in three Phase 2 clinical trials, GEO-CM04S1 is being evaluated as a primary vaccine for immunocompromised patients such as those suffering from hematologic cancers and other patient populations for whom the current authorized COVID-19 vaccines are insufficient, and as a booster vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In addition, GEO-CM04S1 is in a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the vaccine as a more robust, durable COVID-19 booster among healthy patients who previously received the mRNA vaccines. GeoVax has a leadership team who have driven significant value creation across multiple life science companies over the past several decades.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.



GeoVax Starts The Year By Announcing Phase 2 Trial For Gedeptin.&nbsp;GeoVax has announced that a Phase 2 trial for Gedeptin, its gene therapy for delivering cytotoxic cancer drugs, is planned to start in 1H25. As we expected, the trial will test Gedeptin with a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).



Gedeptin Delivers A Gene To Activate The Cancer Drug In The Tumor.&nbsp;Gedeptin is based on the Gene-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy (GDEPT) technology platform. It uses an adenovirus vector to deliver the E. coli PNP gene to cancer cells. Once inside the cells, the gene produces an enzyme that converts an inactive prodrug (fludarabine) into an active cytotoxic drug. This increases the drug's potency inside the cancer cells while avoiding healthy tissue. Gedeptin has completed Phase 1/2 trials in advanced head and neck cancer and has been granted Orphan Drug Designation for oral and pharyngeal cancers.

<a href="http://channelchek.com/company/mgrof">Research News and Market Data on MGROF</a>



SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Canada, January 16, 2025 – MustGrow Biologics Corp. (TSXV:MGRO) (OTC:MGROF) (FRA:0C0) (the "Company" or "MustGrow") is pleased to announce the closing of the previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (each, a "Unit") at a price per Unit of $1,000 for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $2,585,000 (the "Private Placement") on January 16, 2025 (the "Closing Date").



Each Unit is comprised of: (i) $1,000 principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures"); and (ii) 666 common share purchase warrants (the "Unit Warrants"). Each Debenture may, at the option of the holder: (i) be converted into common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares") at price of $1.50 per Common Share (the "Principal Conversion Price") at any time; or (ii) paid in cash 60 months following the Closing Date (subject to certain acceleration rights). Each Unit Warrant is exercisable by the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $1.90 per Common Share for a period of 60 months following the Closing Date. The Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash.



If, at any time following the date that is 12 months from the Closing Date, the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is greater than $3.00 for the preceding 30 consecutive trading days, the Company shall have the option to immediately accelerate the conversion of the Debentures at the Principal Conversion Price.



In connection with the Private Placement, certain finders received an aggregate cash fee of $67,200. In addition, the Company issued to certain finders an aggregate of 44,800 non-transferable finder's warrants (the "Finder Warrants"). Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $1.90 per Common Share for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date.



The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for inventory production for TerraSanteTM, working capital and general corporate purposes.



The Debentures, the Unit Warrants, the Finder Warrants, and any underlying Common Shares issued pursuant to those securities are subject to a four month plus one day hold period from the Closing Date. The Private Placement remains subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").



Certain insiders of the Company have subscribed for 300 Units under the Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $300,000. Each subscription by an "insider" is considered to be a "related party transaction" for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 –&nbsp;Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions&nbsp;("MI 61-101"). The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the Closing Date as the details of the Private Placement and the participation therein by each "related party" of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Private Placement, and the Company wished to close the Private Placement on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than the 25% of the Company's market capitalization. Additionally, the Company is exempt from minority shareholder approval requirement in section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.7(b) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than the 25% of the Company's market capitalization.



This press release does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any Units within the United States.

Research News and Market Data on MGROF



SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Canada, January 16, 2025 – MustGrow Biologics Corp. (TSXV:MGRO) (OTC:MGROF) (FRA:0C0) (the &#8220;Company&#8221; or &#8220;MustGrow&#8220;) is pleased to announce the closing of the previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (each, a &#8220;Unit&#8220;) at a price per Unit of $1,000 for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $2,585,000 (the &#8220;Private Placement&#8220;) on January 16, 2025 (the &#8220;Closing Date&#8220;).



Each Unit is comprised of: (i) $1,000 principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (the &#8220;Debentures&#8220;); and (ii) 666 common share purchase warrants (the &#8220;Unit Warrants&#8220;). Each Debenture may, at the option of the holder: (i) be converted into common shares in the capital of the Company (the &#8220;Common Shares&#8220;) at price of $1.50 per Common Share (the &#8220;Principal Conversion Price&#8220;) at any time; or (ii) paid in cash 60 months following the Closing Date (subject to certain acceleration rights). Each Unit Warrant is exercisable by the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $1.90 per Common Share for a period of 60 months following the Closing Date. The Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash.



If, at any time following the date that is 12 months from the Closing Date, the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the &#8220;TSXV&#8220;) is greater than $3.00 for the preceding 30 consecutive trading days, the Company shall have the option to immediately accelerate the conversion of the Debentures at the Principal Conversion Price.



In connection with the Private Placement, certain finders received an aggregate cash fee of $67,200. In addition, the Company issued to certain finders an aggregate of 44,800 non-transferable finder&#8217;s warrants (the &#8220;Finder Warrants&#8220;). Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $1.90 per Common Share for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date.



The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for inventory production for TerraSanteTM, working capital and general corporate purposes.



The Debentures, the Unit Warrants, the Finder Warrants, and any underlying Common Shares issued pursuant to those securities are subject to a four month plus one day hold period from the Closing Date. The Private Placement remains subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the &#8220;TSXV&#8220;).



Certain insiders of the Company have subscribed for 300 Units under the Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $300,000. Each subscription by an &#8220;insider&#8221; is considered to be a &#8220;related party transaction&#8221; for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 –&nbsp;Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions&nbsp;(&#8220;MI 61-101&#8220;). The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the Closing Date as the details of the Private Placement and the participation therein by each &#8220;related party&#8221; of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Private Placement, and the Company wished to close the Private Placement on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than the 25% of the Company&#8217;s market capitalization. Additionally, the Company is exempt from minority shareholder approval requirement in section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.7(b) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than the 25% of the Company&#8217;s market capitalization.



This press release does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any Units within the United States.

In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court has upheld a law that would effectively ban TikTok in the United States by January 19 unless the social media platform is sold to an owner not controlled by a foreign adversary. The ruling places the fate of the app, used by 170 million Americans, in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump, who takes office on January 20.



The Court sided with the government's position that ByteDance's ties to China pose national security concerns, rejecting TikTok's First Amendment arguments. While acknowledging the platform's significance, the Court emphasized Congress's authority to address national security threats. "There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community," the Court stated, but concluded that the security concerns outweighed these considerations.



Trump, who previously promised to "save TikTok," now holds significant influence over the app's future. "It ultimately goes up to me, so you're going to see what I'm going to do," Trump told CNN following the Court's decision. He has reportedly discussed the matter with Chinese President Xi Jinping and is considering various options, including an executive order that would delay the ban's enforcement by 60 to 90 days.



<a href="https://www.channelchek.com/news-channel/the-future-of-tiktok-u-s-operations-up-for-grabs">The implementation of the ban would have far-reaching consequences for the tech industry</a>. Major companies like Apple and Google would be prohibited from offering TikTok in their app stores, while cloud providers such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle would be barred from hosting the service. Violations could result in penalties of up to $5,000 for each instance of US user access.



Several potential solutions have emerged as stakeholders scramble to prevent a shutdown. Chinese officials have reportedly discussed selling TikTok's US operations to Elon Musk, owner of X, although their preference is to maintain ByteDance's ownership. Additionally, a consortium led by billionaire Frank McCourt Jr. and including "Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary has expressed interest in acquiring the platform for up to $20 billion. "There's a deal to be made here so that US TikTok can stay in business," McCourt stated recently.



The ruling's impact extends beyond TikTok itself, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape of social media. Industry analysts predict significant benefits for established platforms if TikTok exits the US market. William Blair research analyst Ralph Schackart estimates that Meta's Instagram could capture 60-70% of TikTok's advertising revenue, noting that Instagram "monetizes at around 3x the rate of TikTok." Similarly, Morgan Stanley projects that YouTube's Shorts platform could gain $400-750 million in ad revenue for every 10% of former TikTok user time it captures.



As the situation develops, legislative solutions are also being explored. Senator Ed Markey has introduced a bill that would extend the divestiture deadline by 270 days, potentially providing crucial additional time for negotiations. Trump's incoming administration has multiple options, including pushing Congress to overturn the law, encouraging an extension of the deadline, or facilitating a sale of the US operations.



As the January 19 deadline approaches, the tech industry, millions of users, and the advertising market await clarity on whether Trump's administration will enforce the ban, negotiate a sale, or find another solution to keep the popular platform operating in the United States. The outcome of this high-stakes situation will likely set important precedents for foreign-owned technology companies operating in the US market.

<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>Key Points: - Bitcoin hits $104,000, marking a 420% increase from its $20,000 price two years ago - Trump names David Sacks as crypto "czar" and plans regulatory overhaul - Administration aims to create $21 billion Strategic Bitcoin Reserve</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



Bitcoin's price surged past $100,000 on Friday as cryptocurrency markets anticipate major policy shifts under President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration. The world's leading cryptocurrency rose approximately 5% to $104,000, reflecting growing optimism about Trump's promised pro-crypto agenda.



Trump, who once dismissed bitcoin as a "scam," has undergone a dramatic shift in his stance toward digital currencies. His campaign promises include transforming the United States into the global "crypto capital," with specific plans for industry-friendly regulations and the establishment of a government cryptocurrency stockpile.



The president-elect has already begun assembling a team of crypto advocates for key positions, including David Sacks as the administration's cryptocurrency "czar" and Bo Hines as executive director of the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets. Paul Atkins, Trump's pick to lead the SEC, has been a vocal supporter of cryptocurrencies, signaling a stark departure from the regulatory approach of the Biden administration.



One of Trump's most ambitious proposals is the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which would require the Treasury Department to maintain at least $21 billion in bitcoin through its Exchange Stabilization Fund. This initiative would represent a significant shift in government policy, as historically, the U.S. has auctioned off cryptocurrency seized in law enforcement operations.



The cryptocurrency industry, which felt targeted by outgoing SEC Chairman Gary Gensler's enforcement actions, has welcomed these developments. Peter Van Valkenburgh, executive director of Coin Center, expressed optimism about the expected "tone change at the SEC" under the new administration.



The industry's enthusiasm is evident in the organization of the first-ever "Crypto Ball," a sold-out celebration featuring "an elite lineup of musical entertainment" to mark the inauguration of what supporters are calling the first "crypto president."



However, critics continue to raise concerns about cryptocurrency's volatile nature and its potential use in illegal activities. Despite these reservations, bitcoin has demonstrated remarkable resilience, with its value increasing dramatically from around $20,000 two years ago to its current record levels.



As Trump prepares to take office on January 20, the cryptocurrency market eagerly awaits the implementation of his promised policies, which could reshape the regulatory landscape for digital assets in the United States.
