BAHRAIN AND SINGAPORE SIGN BILATERAL TREATY ON APPEALS FROM THE BAHRAIN INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL COURT

500NewsWire

Manama - Bahrain, March 20th, 2024 - ( 500NewsWire ) -- The Government of Bahrain and the Government of the Republic of Singapore signed a bilateral Treaty today to establish the Bahrain International Commercial Court (“BICC”) in Bahrain and a designated body in Singapore to hear appeals from the BICC. The Treaty was signed by Bahrain’s Minister of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Waqf H.E. Mr Nawaf bin Mohamed AlMaawda and Singapore’s Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Law Mr K Shanmugam SC in a virtual ceremony today. Nature of the Collaboration The Kingdom of Bahrain and the Republic of Singapore aim to promote the international rule of law and boost international trade by developing transformative systems for the resolution of disputes in international trade. The two Contracting States have negotiated a treaty finding a balance between party autonomy and public policy providing opt-in and opt-out models for the commercial court and the appeals mechanism whilst the reissuance of decisions allows for safeguarding of notions of public policy. Thus the two Nations -- through this treaty -- join forces in promoting a transnational system of commercial justice. Cooperation between the two international commercial courts will allow for the development of better standards for international commercial dispute resolution thus addressing the current challenges users face when attempting to resolve their disputes. Major Milestone in Bilateral Ties The signing of the Treaty marks another milestone since the Bahrain and Singapore judiciaries signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation and Memorandum of Guidance as to the Enforcement of Money Judgments when Chief Justice Menon led a delegation to visit Bahrain in May 2023. H.E. Mr Nawaf bin Mohamed AlMaawda Minister: “This treaty is a transformative step forward towards strengthening the rule of law and promoting access to justice on an international level. It provides a framework for cooperation between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Republic of Singapore to ensure the interests and rights of the international business community are safeguarded and protected.” Mr. Jan Paulsson, Judge of the Bahrain Court of Cassation: “In providing this International Court in our region, we are pleased that the Republic of Singapore has placed its well-established Singapore International Commercial Court at the disposal of parties who desire the security of possible review by a body having a proven track record. BICC will hear all international arbitration-related cases in due course - it will be a relatively marginal adjustment as Bahrain is already a bilingual jurisdiction and cases heard in English are dealt with by international judges even at the level of the court of cassation.” Contact Details BEDB +973 3979 8919

YourFMO Reaches a Donation Milestone: Equivalent of 10 Million Meals Donated to Feeding America®

YourFMO

YourFMO, a national, non-governmental, independent marketing organization that provides agents with valuable resources they need to help clients decide on Medicare options, announced that it has reached a major milestone in its partnership with Feeding America ®: YourFMO has donated in excess of 10 million meals since 2019. Since starting its partnership with Feeding America, YourFMO has donated the equivalent of 10 meals* for every effective insurance enrollment that agents submit through the YourFMO Enrollment Center. “When we started our partnership with Feeding America, the idea of donating the equivalent of 1 million meals seemed like an ambitious goal,” said Matthew Graham, senior vice president and YourFMO program leader. “The independent agents who embrace our enrollment center in Q4 of 2023 fueled us to surpass this 10-million-meal milestone.” YourFMO and Feeding America share a common goal to support America’s senior population. According to Feeding America, 5.5 million seniors (1 in 14 or 7.1%), age 60 and older, were food insecure in 2021. Every state is home to seniors and older adults who experience food insecurity. Feeding America is committed to an America where no one is hungry. The organization partners with people experiencing food insecurity, policymakers, organizations and supporters, united with them in a movement to end hunger. “We are so grateful for partners like YourFMO, whose commitment to Feeding America has resulted in a remarkable milestone of 10 million meals donated since 2019,” said Lauren Biedron, Feeding America’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships. “Their dedication has had a far-reaching impact on local food banks and their surrounding communities in addressing hunger, including the critical issue of senior hunger.” YourFMO’s closest business partners appreciate the opportunity to support Feeding America when they use the enrollment center. “Many of the companies in the AmeriLife portfolio rely on YourFMO’s platform to efficiently process Medicare enrollments,” said Scotty Elliott, Chief Distribution Officer of Health at AmeriLife. “The ability to also play a role in helping to feed seniors who are battling food insecurities is a benefit that can’t be overstated.” YourFMO’s efforts to support Feeding America have also helped inspire AmeriLife’s corporate giving efforts. During last year’s Valspar Championship, AmeriLife – in partnership with local affiliate Feeding Tampa Bay – sponsored a food donation drive at the golf tournament. Fans eagerly responded by donating 5,000 pounds of shelf-stable food items, and the two partners look forward to hosting this food drive activation once again during the final round of the 2024 Valspar Championship on Sunday, March 24. “YourFMO helped introduce us to the worthwhile efforts of Feeding America,” said Elliott. “We’re proud to hold another donation drive at this year’s tournament and help those in our community who are facing hunger.” YourFMO sees its partnership with Feeding America as an ongoing commitment. “I know I can speak for the entire YourFMO team in saying we’re incredibly grateful for the support from our independent agents who helped us reach 10 million donated meals,” added Graham. “I’m excited to see how many more meals we can donate and how many neighbors in need we can support in 2024 and in years to come.” Individuals who want to support YourFMO’s efforts can visit its Team Feed Corporate donation page to make a financial contribution. *$1 helps provide at least 10 meals ### About YourFMO YourFMO is a national non-government, independent marketing organization that is a one-stop shop for independent agents to grow their business.

American Rare Earths unveils promising Halleck Creek scoping study

American Rare Earths Ltd

American Rare Earths Ltd (ASX:ARR) CEO Donald Swartz sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to highlight the positive outcomes of a scoping study for the Halleck Creek Project in Wyoming, USA. The study confirms the project's viability as a low-cost, scalable and world-class rare earth element (REE) venture, showcasing strong economic potential and a solid foundation for future development. The independent analysis by Stantec Consulting Services Inc revealed a net present value (NPV) of US$673.9 million at an 8% discount rate and US$505.1 million at a 10% discount rate (pre-tax), with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 22.5%. The project's payback period is estimated at 2.9 years, with a life of mine (LOM) average cost of US$38.38 per kilogram for neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) equivalent, significantly lower than current global averages. With a proposed initial mining rate of 3 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), the Halleck Creek Project is positioned for a scalable expansion, underpinned by a resource base of 540 million tonnes, suggesting a mine life of 180 years at 3 Mtpa. This scalability and the project's strategic design aim to reduce Western dependency on Chinese rare earth supplies, marking a significant step towards diversifying global REE sources.

Magmatic Resources restarts exploration at Wellington North

MAGMATIC RESOURCES LIMITED

Magmatic Resources Ltd (ASX:MAG) managing director joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to talk about the restart of exploration at the company’s Wellington North project in Central West NSW, adjacent to significant gold-copper deposits. McKinnon emphasised the project's role in Magmatic’s portfolio, situated near major mining operations like Newmont's Cadia and near Alkane Resources' Boda-Kaiser deposits.

These sites, with proven mineralisation yet limited drilling, present significant untapped potential. The initial focus will be on Boda Southwest, leveraging its proximity to Alkane's Boda deposit to uncover similar large-scale mineral resources.
