Sarytogan Graphite USPG batteries retain 97.3% capacity after 100 cycles

Sarytogan Graphite Ltd

Sarytogan Graphite Ltd (ASX: SGA) managing director Sean Gregory joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the exceptional endurance demonstrated in its lithium-ion batteries using Sarytogan Uncoated Spherical Purified Graphite (USPG). The coin-cell batteries have undergone more than 140 charge-discharge cycles, retaining 97.3% capacity after 100 cycles. This suggests the potential for up to 1,000 cycles before reaching the 80% capacity threshold. Initial tests on Coated Spherical Purified Graphite (CSPG) batteries will be reported shortly. These results are crucial inputs for the pre-feasibility study, scheduled for completion in Q3 2024. Sarytogan’s graphite anodes benefit from highly crystalline graphite, enhancing lithium-ion intercalation. The USPG batteries, developed with an American technology partner, outperform many synthetic graphite products. The CSPG, produced by surface coating USPG, aims to further improve performance. Finally, Gregory talks about the associated costs, which are low and will be reported in the coming pre-feasibility study.

Intra Energy Corporation discovers high-grade gold at Maggie Hays Hill

INTRA ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED

Intra Energy Corporation Ltd (ASX:IEC) managing director Ben Dunn sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the discovery of high-grade gold at the Maggie Hays Hill (MHH) Project in Western Australia’s Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt. Assay results from 11 rock chip samples collected in March and April averaged 2.56 g/t of gold, with the highest assay at 7.6 g/t. Three parallel quartz reefs, each more than 250 metres long, have been identified. IEC has also found significant gold and lithium targets through a soil sampling program. The northern anomaly spans 1,500 by 150 metres, with gold grades averaging 30 ppb, while a southern anomaly aligns with central quartz reefs, averaging 31 ppb. Dunn expressed satisfaction with the rapid progress of the exploration program, led by Todd Hibberd. The team is preparing to drill in mid-June 2024, pending the acquisition of necessary permits and heritage clearances. A heritage survey is set to begin on May 30 and drilling permits are awaiting approval from the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation, Energy and Safety (DMIRS). The MHH Project, 80% owned by IEC, is prospective for lithium, nickel and gold, and is located near the Maggie Hays and Emily Anne nickel mines. The region’s geological features and recent commercial activities highlight its potential for significant mineral discoveries.

FAYE DUNAWAY WRAPS FILMING ON JONATHAN BAKER’S ‘FATE THE MOVIE’ AHEAD OF CELEBRATORY MOMENT AT CANNES FOR HER HBO DOCUMENTARY ‘FAYE’

FATE

Baker Entertainment Group, a film production company led by visionary filmmaker Jonathan Baker, has announced Janet Montgomery as a young Faye Dunaway in “Fate The Movie”. Dunaway has just wrapped her role as Tilly, which spans an entire lifetime, bridging the character to life by the talents of both Dunaway and Montgomery into one central character. While the film is still in production, this marks a significant milestone in her legendary career as Dunaway heads to Cannes to screen her celebratory HBO documentary “Faye”. Highland Film Group will be on the ground selling “Fate The Movie” from writer-producer-director Jonathan Baker, making this his second to last film he’ll ever create. Janet Montgomery, playing Young Tilly, was cast out of hundreds of actors for this role. “She stepped in with beauty, love, and laughter to play a strong sophisticated soul which will illuminate the film. Once Janet listened to the music of the movie, Nessun Dorma, Nat King Cole's ‘Unforgettable’, and our original song “forever is yesterday” by singer songwriter Trease,” said Baker. “Out of all our cast members, Janet has worked the hardest to embody and challenge her character through Faye Dunaway and into her original performance of Young TIlly. Everyone is a muse in this movie for me as I step into every character as I bring them to life. With Janet's background and chemistry with Brandon Routh, this is an epic love story that will live on forever.” “I think he’s one of the important directors that we’re watching today. And I think it’s a really interesting film. He’s got a great cast, it’s an amazing script, and what drew me to the film is we’re all in a holistic retreat so that means maybe we’re not all there at the same time and it’s interesting from that point of view. I like him very much. And I'm glad to be in this film with him,” said Faye Dunaway in an interview with Vancouver Sun. Jonathan Baker stated, “Faye Dunaway is one of the greatest actors of our time. When I crafted her role in the film “Fate”, I could see no one else that could play that part better than her. With such respect and admiration, I had the pleasure to experience the brilliant performance of Faye Dunaway alongside Harvey Keitel in my film.” Synopsis: It takes a minute to find a special person and an entire lifetime to forget them. After a rescue mission gone wrong, a firefighter Sam Ellis (Brandon Routh) connects with a stranger from the past Tilly (Janet Montgomery) while he's healing at a rehabilitation center and is transported through time to find the only thing saving his soul, is his realization of true love. Jonathan Baker is producing “Fate The Movie” after being in development for five years, bringing a singular ambition and passion to creating this feature film.

Immunic CMO discusses role of clinical trials in biotech development for Clinical Trials Day

Immunic Inc

Immunic Inc (NASDAQ:IMUX) chief medical officer Dr Andreas Muehler discusses the importance of clinical trials in the biotech industry to mark Clinical Trials Day on May 20. Dr Muehler noted that Immunic focuses on translating research ideas into clinical trials to demonstrate clinical proof of concept as well as safety and efficacy of a drug candidate. He explained the stages of clinical development, from preclinical trials to late-stage phase 3 trials and commercialization. Preclinical trials involve testing in animals and cell cultures to ensure safety before human testing begins. Phase 1 trials assess safety and pharmacokinetics, while phase 2 trials determine the appropriate dosage. Phase 3 trials involve large-scale testing to obtain statistically significant outcomes for regulatory approval. Dr Muehler emphasized the importance of continuous clinical development, even after drug approval, to monitor for rare side effects and test in different populations. Clinical trials at Immunic are organized by medical and clinical operations teams and executed with the help of contract research organisations (CROs) to manage the trials across various countries. Dr Muehler highlighted the challenges in clinical trials, such as patient recruitment and the need for effective planning and communication with key opinion leaders and investigators. He shared that staying in close contact with investigators through meetings, site visits, and newsletters helps in efficient trial execution and patient enrolment. Immunic's approach has been successful in rapidly enrolling patients for trials, particularly in multiple sclerosis studies, he added.

Bitget Wallet Lists Ecosystem Token BWB on Native Launchpad, Seeks to Capitalize on Market Momentum

Bitget

Bitget Wallet, one of the largest multi-chain wallets, has announced that its official ecosystem token will be listed on its native launchpad from May 23, 18:00 (UTC+8). This move marks a significant milestone in Bitget Wallet's commitment to revolutionizing the digital asset landscape and providing users with unparalleled opportunities for growth and engagement. Users who have accumulated at least $200 worth of transactions in the month of May on Bitget Swap, the wallet's native trading platform, will be eligible for the public round of the launchpad. "For a project to launch its own token, careful and robust consideration of various factors have to be made," Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet comments. "A clear understanding of a project's unique value proposition on the market, together with a strong community to back it, are paramount requirements that need to be met before a token launch. We are satisfied that these conditions have been adequately met at this point in time, which have led us to this strategic move." BWB Tokenomics Following the recent conclusion of the BWB Points campaign, the BWB token, set to launch on Solana, Ethereum, and Base chains, will be capped at a total supply of 1 billion. 47% of this total supply will be allocated to the community treasury and 10% will go to investors, while 5% will be reserved for the pre-TGE (token generation event) airdrop. Aside from community governance rights, BWB can also be used to cover gas fees on multiple chains, staking, and will qualify holders for future airdrops from Bitget Wallet. The token will soon make its way to the wallet's native launchpad. Bitget Wallet Launchpad: Democratizing DeFi Distinguishing Bitget Wallet from other wallets by providing new and innovative ways to improve the overall user experience has been a central focus of Bitget Wallet's development roadmap this year. By introducing a native launchpad, the wallet aims to provide an avenue for users to better discover new and upcoming projects that have been carefully vetted by the Bitget Wallet team. In doing so, not only will users be able to better capitalize on various "low risk, high return" opportunities in the DeFi space, it also empowers retail investors to follow smart money and trends in the industry. "The democratization of investment opportunities is an important goal that we are working towards, as this allows users to participate in high-quality projects and strengthens the participation and reward mechanism of the entire ecosystem," Alvin says. Being one of the first wallets on Web3 to integrate a native launchpad also means that users will be able to participate in leading projects right from the convenience of their Bitget Wallet mobile application. The launch of the platform's ecosystem token on its very own native launchpad marks a pivotal milestone in Bitget Wallet's aims to expand its global influence and deepen customer engagement. About Bitget Wallet Bitget Wallet is Asia's largest and a leading global Web3 wallet with over 20 million users worldwide. It offers a comprehensive range of features, including asset management, intelligent market data, swap trading, launchpad, inscribing, NFT, DApp, and token earning center.
