LITHIUM UNIVERSE LIMITED

Lithium Universe Ltd (ASX:LU7) CEO Alex Hanly joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to talk about the pending acquisition of a commercial property in the Bécancour Waterfront Industrial Park in Québec, Canada, as part of its strategy to address the lithium conversion capacity gap in the North American market.

Elixir Energy identifies significant gas resource at Daydream 2

ELIXIR ENERGY LIMITED

Elixir Energy Ltd (ASX:EXR OTC:ELXPF) managing director Neil Young sits down with Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the identification of a significant gas resource at Daydream 2, part of its Grandis Gas Project in Queensland. The company has completed desorption analysis on coal cuttings, with samples used to analyse the gas content of the hydrocarbons using traditional coal bed methane methods. The company revealed a new prospective source of gas, having been adsorbed into the coals, averaging about 23 cubic metres per tonne in their raw state, which translates to 34 cubic metres per tonne minus dry ash. It also re-assessed its prospective resource to include the adsorbed gas element, increasing the total un-risked prospective resources (2U) in ATP 2044 to 3.6 trillion cubic feet of gas. The company is now working to convert the resources into discovered contingent resources, with plenty of newsflow expected over the coming weeks. “We are naturally pleased to announce this very substantial increase in our already very large prospective resources in the coals in ATP 2044," Young said. "To our knowledge, conducting coal content analysis on deep formations in this fashion was a first in Australia and, as such, is a tribute to the innovative mind set of our internal team and supportive service providers."

In other developments, KangaMoon's presale is gathering momentum, positioning itself as the best crypto to buy right now. Bitcoin (BTC) Forecasted To Hit $70k in 2024 Bernstein's analysts foresee a bright future for Bitcoin (BTC). They have predicted that its price could surpass $69,000 and hit $70,000 this year. Analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra conveyed their optimism in a message to investors. They stated that the prediction may take time and may not be smooth. In their analysis, the analysts highlighted the $42,000 to $43,000 price range as an optimal entry point. They described it as a "no-regrets price with asymmetric upside." Meanwhile, the analysts pegged their bullish prediction on four key factors. These factors include the high inflow of Bitcoin ETFs, election impact on the US SEC, macroeconomic conditions, and advisor network responses. At the moment, the price of Bitcoin is fluctuating between $41,971.37 and $43,654.52 on the weekly price chart. A rise to $70,000 would signify an increase of 65%. Polkadot (DOT) NFT Minting Sets New Record On February 6th, Polkadot (DOT) marked a major achievement, minting 4,930 NFTs each minute. This sets a new record for minting speed, surpassing the performance of Solana and Polygon. Polkadot achieved this while creating NFTs for the Web3 game "Forever Has Fallen."

Data from CoinMarketCap showed that Polkadot coin has dropped 2.8% and 1.4% on the monthly and weekly price charts, respectively. The altcoin is currently fluctuating between $6.58 and $6.99.
