BANDCAMP ANNOUNCES 2024 BANDCAMP FRIDAY SCHEDULE

Bandcamp

Bandcamp, an online record store and the world’s largest music platform that connects over 5 million artists with over 47 million fans, has announced the 2024 Bandcamp Fridays schedule. Having already produced two successful Fridays this year, Bandcamp has pre-announced six more dates including April 5th, the 40th Bandcamp Friday on May 3rd, September 6th, October 4th and December 6t h. Bandcamp Fridays began in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic with the aim to assist artists when venues were shut down, resulting in the loss of vital tour revenue. On Bandcamp Fridays, Bandcamp waves their revenue share and gives 100% funds to the artists and labels - which has resulted in millions of fans paying over $120 million directly to labels and musicians they love. Bandcamp Fridays are a natural extension of the platform’s ‘artist-first mission’, allowing fans and labels to easily discover new artists and continue to support the artists they do every single day; with 90% of sales on Bandcamp Fridays coming from fans who regularly purchase music throughout the year. Bandcamp has seen countless stories of artists following their passions and using the platform to build their fan base and ultimately getting their break with support from a label who wants to take them to the next level. On Bandcamp Fridays, fans “follow” artists at three times the rate they follow them on a regular day. It’s no wonder The Los Angeles Times called Bandcamp, “The only music platform that everyone likes” and The Guardian dubbed Bandcamp “Heroes.” To learn more about Bandcamp: www.bandcamp.com About Bandcamp Bandcamp is an online record store and music community where passionate fans discover, connect with, and directly support the artists they love. It has generated over $1.3 billion in revenue for the Artists who sell directly to over 47 million fans from around the world. Bandcamp has played an important part in the lives of over 5 million artists, providing them with a direct connection to fans and enabling them to generate more income than any other platform. Bandcamp is a remarkable example of a community based business that has grown and sustained itself focusing on an artist first model that also maintains equitable participation among artists and fans.

UNOS welcomes new seven-member board of directors

United Network for Organ Sharing

On Friday, March 8, 2024, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) announced the seven members of its new board of directors, who begin their terms on March 30, 2024. For the first time in nearly 40 years, UNOS’ board of directors will be independent from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network’s (OPTN) board of directors. The new UNOS board takes effect the day after UNOS’ current OPTN contract with the federal government ends. The creation of a new, independent UNOS board eliminates any conflict of interest in the governance of the OPTN. Currently, the same 42 people oversee both UNOS and the OPTN. The board separation represents a significant change in governance structure, and it has received wide-ranging support – from HRSA, from members, and even from critics of the current OPTN system - as it benefits the entire transplant community. Board separation also is in line with HRSA’s own Modernization Initiative. While HRSA is working to finalize plans for the OPTN board when the current contract expires, UNOS has followed through on its commitment to remove the conflict of interest that has been in place for decades by announcing its new board of directors. Now, after working on board separation plans with HRSA for years, UNOS remains confident that HRSA will act by March 30 to finalize this critical change that is best for the entire transplant community. “Having independent and distinct boards will appropriately allow each organization to benefit from board members who have a singular focus on the mission of the organization they support without conflicts of interest that may cause unnecessary challenges,” said Maureen McBride, Ph.D., CEO of UNOS. “I look forward to working with our new UNOS board, as well as the OPTN board, to not only continue our lifesaving work within the U.S. donation and transplant system, but to also expand our reach as a company to help improve the health and lives of more people around the globe.” UNOS’ new board members were selected for their diverse range of expertise and experience in business strategy, health care, information technology and information security, and the organ donation and transplant system. The members are: Sue Dunn, former CEO of Donor Alliance Bapu Jena, M.D., Ph.D., professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School, internist at Massachusetts General Hospital Maryl Johnson, M.D., professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine Irene Kim, M.D., director of the Comprehensive Transplant Center at Cedars-Sinai Jake Kouns, founder of RVAsec James Pittman, assistant vice president of transplant and dialysis services for HCA Healthcare Marie Quintero-Johnson, retired vice president of corporate development for Coca-Cola and kidney recipient Establishing a UNOS board that is distinct from the OPTN board is aligned with HRSA’s Modernization Initiative, calls from Congress to separate the boards, and UNOS’ Action Agenda. UNOS worked with HRSA as UNOS took action to establish its new governance structure separate from the OPTN: June 22, 2021 – UNOS met with HRSA to present on the establishment of a separate OPTN board. January 10, 2023 – UNOS sent a letter to HRSA Administrator Carole Johnson expressing a shared desire to create two distinct boards of directors. The letter noted that UNOS sent the contracting officer a request for a “modification to the current OPTN contract. The proposed modification would assign UNOS a task to develop a plan to separate the OPTN Board of Directors from UNOS’ Board of Directors.” UNOS asked the administrator to approve the contract modification noting that “the end of the current contract, September 29, 2023, would be an ideal time to complete the separation of the boards.” March 22, 2023 – HRSA announced its OPTN Modernization Initiative, which noted that as part of the effort, HRSA will work to ensure the OPTN board of directors “has greater independence.” May 2023 – HRSA issued a contract modification directing UNOS to submit an OPTN Board Independence Plan that complies with the National Organ Transplant Act and the OPTN Final Rule and included required activities, with timelines and milestones, to incorporate the OPTN as an independent legal entity governed by the OPTN board of directors. July 14, 2023 – UNOS submitted its OPTN Board Independence Plan. July 20, 2023 – The Senate held a hearing focused on the Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act, which according to the bill’s sponsor will for the first-time mandate an independent Board of Directors to oversee OPTN separate from the contract holder. July 27, 2023 – HRSA issued a statement on the OPTN reform law: "The Health Resources and Services Administration shares Congress’ goal of making the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) work better for the more than 100,000 people on the waiting list for organs. Individuals on the wait list, organ donors, and their families deserve an OPTN governed by an independent, representative board…” September 28, 2023 – HRSA executed a unilateral extension of UNOS’ contract through March 29, 2024. October 30, 2023 – UNOS and HRSA met at UNOS’ request regarding board separation effective March 30, 2024, the day after UNOS’ contract ends. HRSA indicated it cannot dictate the corporate governance structure of a private entity. November 29, 2023 – UNOS and HRSA had a follow-up meeting at UNOS’ request regarding board separation. December 5, 2023 – UNOS board voted to establish a new governance structure distinct from the OPTN Board, a decision made in the best interest of patients and the nation’s organ donation and transplant system. The board made the effective date of this action March 30, 2024, to align with the end of UNOS’ 6-month contract extension. December 13, 2023 – UNOS and HRSA had a follow-up meeting at UNOS’ request regarding board separation. December 2023 – HRSA reiterated its commitment to an independent OPTN board: “For nearly 40 years, the Board of Directors for the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) has been comprised of the same individuals who serve as the Board of Directors for the private entity that has held the OPTN contract. No formal requirements existed to protect against conflicts of interest resulting from this shared role.” February 22, 2024 – UNOS membership ratified the UNOS board decision to establish a new UNOS governance structure. March 29, 2024 – UNOS’ current contract with HRSA ends. Although the federal government’s timeline for implementing its OPTN Modernization Initiative has shifted, UNOS, under new leadership, has remained committed to being a good partner to the administration, Congress and stakeholders to change the current governance structure that requires UNOS board members to serve as OPTN board members. Effective March 30, 2024, OPTN board members will not have a fiduciary duty to UNOS as a non-profit organization. About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the mission-driven non-profit serving as the nation’s transplant system under contract with the federal government. We lead the network of transplant hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and thousands of volunteers who are dedicated to honoring the gifts of life entrusted to us and to making lifesaving transplants possible for patients in need. Working together, we leverage data and advances in science and technology to continuously strengthen the system, increase the number of organs recovered and the number of transplants performed, and ensure patients across the nation have equitable access to transplant.

Premier1 Lithium confirms continuity of pegmatites at Abbots North

PREMIER1 LITHIUM LIMITED

Premier1 Lithium Ltd (ASX:PLC) CEO Richard Taylor joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to share results from the company's initial drilling at Abbotts North. The program confirmed the presence of pegmatites at greater depths, enriching the understanding of the lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) system within the project area. Taylor emphasised that while this exploration was in its early stages, the geological narrative of Abbotts North was becoming clearer with each step. He noted that the analysis of reverse circulation samples will be pivotal in determining future drilling sites and assessing the region's lithium potential. Premier1 Lithium is set to conduct further mapping and sampling at Buttamiah and across its broader tenement to establish precise drill targets, alongside preparing for necessary heritage clearance surveys. The company is well-funded for the next stage of drilling at Abbotts North, with plenty of newsflow to come over the coming months. “In our first drilling program, we were able to confirm the continuity of the mapped pegmatites at depth and enhance our understanding of the LCT system," Taylor said. "Although still in the early stages, Abbotts North is gradually revealing its geological story. "Further analysis of the RC samples will play a significant role in informing our next drilling targets and in evaluating the area's lithium potential."

Applied Graphite Technologies lists on TSX-V as it advances vein graphite properties in Sri Lanka

Applied Graphite Technologies Corporation

Applied Graphite Technologies Corporation CEO Don Baxter joined Stephen Gunnion with news of the company's listing on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol 'AGT.' Baxter, a seasoned mining engineer, discussed the company's evolution since 2012, centering on graphite purification technologies for batteries amidst growing demand in the battery industry. Listing on the TSX-V will increase access to capital while building investor confidence, he said. Highlighting the company's strategic acquisitions in Sri Lanka, Baxter explained the unique advantages of the vein graphite found there: high carbon content (95% in the ground), environmental benefits (no tailings or waste rock), and cost-effectiveness in mining. Unlike flake or synthetic graphite, vein graphite from these properties has higher crystallinity, translating to enhanced battery capacity and a smaller environmental footprint. The company is rapidly moving towards production to meet burgeoning graphite demand, prompted by China's potential restrictions on graphite exports. With plans to scale up to 30,000 to 50,000 tonnes annually, Baxter envisions starting with selling run-of-mine graphite, and progressing to producing battery-grade graphite. He emphasized the company's unique position to meet the critical supply demands for battery anodes, highlighting quick development times due to favorable terrain in Sri Lanka.

atai Life Sciences advances VLS-01 for treatment-resistant depression

atai Life Sciences

atai Life Sciences chief scientific officer Dr Srinivas Rao discusses the company's development candidate VLS-01, aimed at treating treatment-resistant depression, with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Rao explained that VLS-01 is a formulation of DMT, the active component in ayahuasca, known for its short-duration psychedelic effects. The innovation lies in its delivery method, an oral transmucosal film, resembling a Listerine strip, which dissolves inside the mouth over 20 minutes, providing a patient-friendly alternative to intravenous administration. Rao said this approach is designed to enhance the patient and healthcare provider experience, especially in settings not equipped for IV treatments. The ongoing Phase 1B trial seeks to confirm VLS-01's safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics, aiming for a psychoactive effect lasting 30-45 minutes with patients returning to baseline within two hours post-administration. Rao said this trial format follows the US treatment paradigm established by Spravato (esketamine) for depression. The trial will involve 16 healthy volunteers to assess the drug's impact, setting a baseline with intravenous DMT before testing up to three oral doses of VLSI-01. Initial results are expected in the second half of the year, with plans to proceed to Phase 2 trials involving patients with treatment-resistant depression to evaluate the compound's efficacy further.

TNR Gold Executive Chairman highlights promising assays from Los Azules copper project

TNR Gold Corp

TNR Gold Corp executive chairman Kirill Klip discusses promising assay results from the Los Azules copper, gold, and silver project in Argentina with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Klip highlighted one of the property's best drill holes yielding 0.63% copper over 446 metres, including a segment with 0.9% copper over 70 metres. These results underpin the potential for an upgraded resource estimate as part of the preparation for a feasibility study, expected in Q1 2025. Klip also noted the supportive political climate in Argentina under the new president, which is seen as favourable for resource development and investment, citing significant investments by major corporations like Rio Tinto and Ganfeng Lithium in the country's mining sector. Additionally, Klip addressed the copper market's dynamics, predicting a potential swing into deficit, influenced by robust demand and limited new supply. He cited industry expectations for rising copper prices and discussed the implications for TNR Gold's valuation, particularly regarding its royalty on the Los Azules project. With significant drilling activity ongoing, Klip anticipates the project's resource base will expand, enhancing the company's revenue prospects from its royalties.
