Provenance Gold Provides Drilling Update at Eldorado West and Announces Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 23, 2025) - Provenance Gold Corp. (CSE: PAU) (OTCQB: PVGDF) (the " Company" or " Provenance") is pleased to provide an update from its ongoing RC drilling program at its Eldorado West gold property in eastern Oregon. 2025 RC Drill Program Update at Eldorado West The first five RC holes (ED 12-16) have been completed, and samples are currently at the assay lab in Sparks, Nevada for processing. Hole ED-16 was just completed to a depth of 274 meters. RC drilling is continuing with ED-17. Holes (ED-15-17) are designed to test the area of the Tyee area that has been virtually unexplored (Figure 1) with the potential to link the mineralized system between Hole EC-01 and Hole ED-04. Visual observation of holes ED-15 and ED-16 in this new area suggests they are mineralized, and to depths greater than previously tested. The 2025 RC drilling program thus far has been efficient and on budget, with holes achieving the targeted depths. Rauno Perttu states, "We are excited about our drilling to date with this program and the visuals we have encountered. Mineralization at previously untested depths and extent has the potential to increase the volume of this system extensively." Assay results will be released when available and will help to guide the ongoing program. Eldorado West Highlights The 2025 drill program follows two previous successful drill programs at the Company's Eldorado West property. Hole EC-01 (2024): 288.34 Meters of 2.01 g/t Gold Hole ED-03 (2023): 140.208 Meters of 1.15 g/t Gold Hole ED-04 (2023): 137.160 Meters of 1.639 g/t Gold Hole ED-07 (2023): 114.3 Meters of 3.085 g/t Gold Hole ED-11 (2023): 118.872 Meters of 3.278 g/t Gold Figure 1 - Areas and Targets of Eldorado West To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Figure 2 - Chip samples from hole ED-16 show strong pyrite which is associated with gold on the property.

CATL Chairman and CEO Robin Zeng Outlines Vision for Global Zero-Carbon Transition and Deeper Collaboration at Major Conference
CHENGDU, China, June 23, 2025 /CNW/ -- Recently, Dr. Robin Zeng, Chairman and CEO of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), delivered a speech at the second Belt and Road Conference on Science and Technology Exchange. During the speech, Dr. Zeng detailed CATL's commitment to open collaboration and mutually beneficial development global wise, with a significant focus on empowering emerging economies. In his address, Dr. Zeng emphasized CATL's readiness to foster deep industrial cooperation and share its advanced technologies to accelerate the global energy transition. "There are many ways we can cooperate," Dr. Zeng stated. "CATL is willing to co-build factories, form joint ventures, and engage in commercial agreements on technology licensing." This collaborative spirit is central to CATL's strategy of building localized ecosystems and supporting partners worldwide in their journey towards carbon neutrality. Highlighting the significant opportunities in transport electrification, CATL noted the rapid pace of EV market growth in countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. CATL is actively pursuing partnerships in the region, such as its collaboration with Arun Plus in Thailand to supply batteries and support the nation's ambition to become Southeast Asia's EV hub; and its co-development of a full industrial value chain—from mining to recycling—to localize Indonesia's EV ecosystem. Beyond transportation, CATL's comprehensive "Zero-Carbon Tech" solutions encompass innovative energy storage systems that are crucial for unlocking the full potential of renewable energy. Its grid-forming storage systems enable independent microgrids, which are essential for remote regions and industrial sites. One notable example is the 19GWh battery energy storage system powering Masdar's "AI + Zero-Carbon" green data center in the UAE. To promote battery circularity across society, CATL plans to roll out 1,000 Choco-Swap stations by 2025. The footprint is expanding into Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR, with construction officially underway on Hong Kong's first Choco-Swap station. In the medium term, CATL aims to establish 10,000 stations in collaboration with automotive partners. Furthermore, CATL's advanced battery recycling technology—which processed 130,000 tons of waste batteries last year—underscores its strong commitment to the circular economy. Dr. Zeng also touched upon the concept of "industrial decarbonization," explaining it as the transformation of traditional high-energy-consumption industries with new energy solutions, such as using hydrometallurgy to reduce carbon emissions. This approach, combined with "new energy industrialization," aims to create new economic growth engines and green transformation pathways, particularly relevant for nations seeking industrial upgrading and sustainable development. CATL's strategy involves fostering a global production network to ensure market supply and development worldwide, exemplified by its major investments in European manufacturing, including Europe's largest battery base in Hungary and a new factory in Spain with Stellantis. These initiatives are designed to deeply integrate CATL into regional new energy industry chains, enhancing local value and technological advancement. With over 43,000 patents and nearly 20 billion yuan invested annually in battery R&D, CATL continues to innovate in battery materials, chemical systems, and beyond. In 2024, CATL ranked second among all Chinese companies in overseas patent applications. "As a global leader in innovation and technology, CATL is willing to collaborate with business and scientific communities across all international partner countries," Dr. Zeng concluded. "We are eager to contribute - for humanity's new energy's sake, for humanity's sustainable development, and for building a community with a shared future for mankind!" CATL's recent listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange further demonstrates its deeper integration into global capital markets, providing a vital platform to support its expanding production capacity, supplier network, and talent pool, enabling more diverse cooperation with international partners towards a zero-carbon future. The company aims for its factories to be carbon-neutral this year and is committed to achieving carbon neutrality across its battery supply chain by 2035.

Tech leaders ready launch of Canadian social-media platform Gander to buck U.S. dominance
A new social-media platform built by Canadians, for Canadians, and operated in Canada, will publicly launch in October with support from some of the most prominent names in the Canadian innovation sector. Titled Gander Social Inc., the app was created by five Canadian co-founders who grew frustrated with the torrent of trolls, disinformation and divisive content they experienced on other platforms, largely owned by American tech giants. When Donald Trump was elected president for a second term, co-founder and CEO Ben Waldman said this frustration morphed into fear, as conversations around data sovereignty – ensuring Canadian control over access, usage and storage – became more pervasive. 'What it came down to was the fear that, without firing a shot, we could easily be annexed by Trump issuing an executive order that all of his friends would immediately adhere to and shut down all of the cloud services that we use every day in business and government, and we would just simply be offline,' he said. 'And that was a scary moment.' Gander will feature written posts and videos, giving users the choice to tailor their feed to the types of content they most enjoy. Just like the social-media platform Bluesky, Gander is built on AT Protocol, which means it's part of an open, decentralized network and not controlled by a billionaire. To ensure data sovereignty for Canadian users, Mr. Waldman said Gander is working with Canadian cloud-service provider ThinkOn to build a parallel network of servers entirely in Canada. Therefore, users will have the option to toggle between having their posts appear on the larger, open network or the Canada-only network. This will also enable Gander on the domestic network to control its own privacy and moderation rules, which will adhere to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Changing U.S. relationship has thrust Canada's data sovereignty into the spotlight With the rise of dad influencers, a more equal version of parenting goes viral Among the app's strategic advisers and investors is Arlene Dickinson, Dragon's Den star and founder and general partner at District Capital Ventures. Ms. Dickinson said she reached out to the platform's founders earlier this year after seeing something about it online. She thought it was a smart, timely idea, given the deterioration of safe, online spaces and growing emphasis on data sovereignty. The world doesn't need another social-media platform, she said, but it could stand to replace some of the ones it already has. This is where Gander comes in, with its Canadian approach, she said. 'My belief is that people will come to this network, to see if it's as different as we can build it to be, and they will stay because it is,' Ms. Dickinson said. The parallel, local network design is also what makes Gander a feasible business model, Ms. Dickinson said, because it can translate this model to other countries or communities who want to set up their own sovereign network. Providing the option to switch off of the larger, decentralized network may be contentious among some users, Mr. Waldman said, since it creates a closed door in an otherwise open space. But he said it comes down to protecting Canadians. 'At the end of the day, when your President isn't exactly being the nicest to us, we have to be in a position where we can communicate, hopefully, in the event of something going wrong,' he said. Other strategic advisers include Blaine Cook, an original Twitter architect; Taylor Owen, director at McGill's Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy; Peter Dinsdale, CEO of YMCA Canada and former CEO of the Assembly of First Nations; and Amber Mac, a Canadian tech journalist and media personality. Ms. Mac said Gander's dedication to verification and moderation will be key in avoiding the steady decline that other online platforms have succumbed to. How underground brokers use their connections inside Meta to profit from hacked accounts 'In the age of social media, it's difficult to compete against some of the forces online that pollute our online spaces. But I don't think it's impossible,' she said. To ensure Gander is solely humans interacting with humans, Mr. Waldman said they're considering working with Toronto-based digital ID verifier GoConfirm to check users' identities upon signing up. Since opening Gander's early access program in April, Mr. Waldman said more than 9,000 people have signed up, giving them benefits such as username priority and the chance to participate in beta testing. At launch, the app will be available in French, English and three Indigenous languages. Mr. Waldman said Gander's monetization models are still being fine-tuned, but he expects subscription plans for content creators and small businesses, and ads to be a part of the company's strategy. However, he said if ads are included on the platform, it will be done mindfully and in a way that allows users to opt in to what they see. For example, they might choose to see ads about their favourite band's coming shows. 'It's all exploratory. Right now, we're just happy to get a platform up that makes people feel better.'
