While we originally intended Bird House to be a bar, we saw the opportunity to open for longer hours and serve customers throughout the day, especially at our location beside The Racquet Club. I am grateful to my investor, advisor, and most importantly, friend, Thanit Apipatana who suggested the strategic location for the cafe and bar.”Apipatana, a Bangkok-based entrepreneur and investor, commented about how he saw the location as ideal for Nikhil’s F&B venture. “I visit The Racquet Club frequently and have been in conversations with Nikhil to set up his own F&B establishment. I saw this place as an opportunity for an establishment to attract customers of all ages, as its unique location attracts different footfall traffic throughout the day. Nikhil took my advice and now he has his own cafe and bar serving different menus to cater to customers of all ages throughout the day,” he said.Patrons can enjoy a range of food beyond what the cafe and bar offers, as Bird House has a unique and welcoming policy which allows customers to bring outside food and dine in the cafe as long as they order a drink. The variety of food offered at RQ Bite 49 includes Korean street food, gelato and patisserie, as well as fresh, made-to-order pizza among others.Nikhil expressed gratitude towards Apipatana for his expertise as an advisor and investor. “Apipatana not only shared his experiences in growing businesses, which helped me develop Bird House to offer unique products and services to our customers. His expertise and insights provided me with strategic guidance, and helped me navigate the complexities of the business landscape. The partnership with Apipatana built on trust, mutual respect and aligned goals, was a cornerstone of the success of Bird House,” he said.From an extensive range of unique menu items to serving high-quality beers at competitive prices, such as Sierra Nevada on tap, Bird House aspires to be an all-day dining establishment catering to residents, visitors and patrons of all ages, lifestyles and needs.“Bird House is up and running, and will be a long-standing fair place giving people what they want.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 31, 2024) - Standard Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: STND) (OTCQB: STTDF) (FSE: 9SU0) ("Standard Uranium" or the "Company")is pleased to provide a summary of work programs on three of it's 100% owned uranium exploration projects currently under option and plans for targeted exploration strategies to continue advancing its uranium portfolio in the Athabasca Basin region, northern Saskatchewan towards discovery.The Company holds more than 233,000 acres of prime exploration real estate across the prolific Athabasca Basin region, which hosts the highest-grade uranium deposits on the planet. The Company boasts an attractive portfolio of uranium exploration projects currently available for option ranging from early-stage to drill-ready projects throughout the Athabasca region, providing turn-key opportunities with permits in hand, First Nations agreements signed, vendors secured, and highly prospective uranium targets. Standard Uranium has continued to deliver on its project generator model in 2024 through expansion of landholdings and advancement of early-stage projects through geophysical surveys to be executed this fall, providing excellent turn-key opportunities for potential joint venture partners. The Company is actively seeking new joint venture partners on these exciting uranium projects.Additionally, the Company successfully completed three joint venture earn-in partnerships on the Sun Dog, Canary, and Atlantic projects this year, totalling over $23.8M in work commitments over the next three years. The Company advanced all three projects by successfully operating and completing exploration drill programs on time and under budget. Standard Uranium brings a skilled team of in-house geoscientists and invaluable relationships with First Nations partners and vendors to the table in designing and executing option agreements.2024 Exploration Summary and ObjectivesProject Generator: Completed four definitive option agreements on four projects, securing exploration expenditures and non-dilutive cash-flow into the Company - Sun Dog, Atlantic, Canary, and Brown Lake projects.Aggressive Exploration: Successfully planned and operated three drill programs on Sun Dog, Atlantic, and Canary returning promising results of uranium mineralization and prospective geology, all of which were partner-funded and successfully operated by the Company.Additional Project Advancement: Initial exploration and geophysical programs on the early-stage Rocas and Corvo projects is planned for the fall, creating more opportunities for additional option partnerships.Expanded Landholdings: The Company added nearly 45,000 acres of prospective land to its portfolio in 2024 through low-cost staking, expanding the Ascent and Corvo projects significantly, and adding four new projects to its exploration pipeline in the Athabasca Basin region."We are pleased to share that we are continuing to advance additional uranium exploration projects through targeted geophysical survey work and new staking, which provide more opportunities for new joint venture partners looking to enter the Athabasca Basin.

Intersections of dravitic-clay associated with structural zones has been confirmed in drill holes ATL-24-002, ATL-24-004A, and ATL-24-005A.Verified Targets: Massive structural disruption confirmed in the sandstone column and multiple wide (>10 metres) brittle-reactivated graphitic shear zones confirm the main interpreted electromagnetic ("EM") corridor on the western claim block which was not reached by previous operators. The inaugural program results have confirmed the Company's exploration thesis on the Project, highlighting a uranium-fertile system with several kilometres of still untested strike length across the Project.Follow Up Targets & Next Steps: Atlantic holds significant upside for discovery along the untested portions of the E-W conductor system. Supplementary geophysical surveys over the central claim blocks are currently being planned and will provide further target areas for phase II and III drilling, along with the additional untested gravity low anomalies on the western block identified in 2022.Canary Project - Mamba Exploration Option (ASX: M24)Uranium Mineralization Confirmed: Analytical results from the spring 2024 drill program at the Project confirmed moderately anomalous uranium in drill holes CAN-24-001 and CAN-24-003 with Uranium:Thorium ("U:Th") ratios ≥3:1, indicating hydrothermal uranium input.Basement-Hosted Uranium: Multiple zones of elevated uranium linked to structural zones and/or proximal to lithological contacts, indicating a uranium-fertile system.Elevated Uranium Pathfinders: Several key uranium pathfinder elements are present in anomalous quantities in multiple drill holes within the crystalline basement, providing vectoring information for future programs; anomalous Boron is particularly common. Spectroscopy confirms presence of fracture-hosted dravitic-clay (13.4%) associated with semi-pelitic gneiss in drill hole CAN-24-001.Follow Up Targets & Next Steps: Canary holds significant upside for discovery along three different and significantly underexplored conductor systems. Supplementary geophysical surveys over all three corridors will provide further target areas for phase II and III drilling.Brown Lake - Mustang Energy Acquisition Agreement (CSE: MEC)Project Monetization: Acquired in 2023 via low-cost staking, Standard Uranium sold 90% of the 312-hectare Brown Lake project to Mustang Energy for 60,000 common shares in Mustang and retains a 10% free carried interest in the project, providing future discovery upside potential.Shallow drill targets: 300 counts per second ("cps") were intersected in seven of eight drill holes - Geochemical assays still pending.Prospectivity Model Confirmed: Elevated radioactivity and increased hydrothermal alteration at Wishbone are largely associated with stacked graphitic structural zones, indicating favorable corridors for fluid movement and uranium deposition across the Project akin to other basement-hosted Athabasca deposits.Discovery of Radioactivity: Occurrences of strong to intense radioactivity in outcropping graphitic basement rocks were identified at surface while prospecting at the Wishbone target area:Approximately five kilometres of strike length along a regional scale anticline, defined by strong VTEM conductors with associated radioactivity along each fold limb.Graphitic pelites have been mapped along both fold limbs, hosting strong radioactivity up to 22,300 cps (RS-125 handheld scintillometer).Mineralized cross-cutting faults have been mapped in the overlying rocks which intersect the uranium-bearing graphitic pelite unit.Historical outcrop sampling at the northwestern graphitic pelite exposure returned assay results of 0.32% U3O8 and 0.30% Cu (SMDI #2095).Unrealized Potential: The targets tested during the summer 2024 program represent only a small fraction of the dozens on the ground and the Company is working with its option partners to prioritize follow ups for additional geophysics and drill programs to further test these promising areas.Davidson River Project - Flagship ProjectIn 2023, the Company expanded its flagship Davidson River project in the southwest corner of the Basin to cover more than 37,700 hectares. Standard Uranium plans to follow up on prospective drilling results from 2022 and test brand new high-priority targets akin to the neighboring JR Zone discovery within the new southeast claim blocks.The summer 2022 program revealed the best intersections of prospective alteration and structure to date along the Bronco and Thunderbird trends, including wide graphitic structural zones on Bronco and oxidized alteration on Thunderbird, in addition to elevated radioactivity and dravite alteration.Planned 2025 drilling will follow up on the most prospective basement structures and alteration zones intersected to date and begin testing new target areas within recently staked claim blocks.Data-driven machine learning techniques will contribute to drill targeting at Davidson River through anomaly detection and mapping of EM data, in addition to anomaly matching based on the footprints of known world-class uranium deposits in the area including the Arrow and Triple-R deposits. The machine learning techniques will also be applied to the Company's internal drilling and geochemical databases.Several kilometres of graphitic conductors remain to be tested at Davidson River, with Davidson River still containing massive blue-sky potential for high-grade discovery akin to the Arrow Deposit on the neighbouring Rook I project owned and operated by NexGen Energy Ltd.Harrison Project - Available for OptionSize & Location: Two mineral claims totalling 1,750 ha, located 22 km SSE of the Shea Creek uranium deposits and approximately 30 km SE of the past producing Cluff Lake uranium mine.Geophysical/Geological Signatures: Electromagnetic ("EM") surveys conducted in 2006-2007 outlined multiple EM zones across the project. Harrison covers approximately 6.8 km of a NW-SE conductor trends coincident with a prominent magnetic low. The trend is crosscut by several interpreted fault zones, including 4.9 km of the major Harrison fault.Prospectivity Model: The project has never been drilled and provides the Company with additional exploration exposure in the southwest Athabasca uranium district. The Company believes the newly acquired Harrison project is prospective for the discovery of high-grade* unconformity-related uranium mineralization.Stock Option and RSU GrantsThe Company also announces that, pursuant to its Omnibus Incentive Plan, it has granted stock options (the "Options") to certain directors, management, and consultants of the Company to purchase an aggregate of 367,500 common shares of the Company at the price of $0.10 per common share until October 31, 2029.

The Company's future exploration work may include verification of the data. The Company considers historical results to be relevant as an exploration guide and to assess the mineralization as well as economic potential of exploration projects.About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND)We find the fuel to power a clean energy futureStandard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in the world's richest uranium district. The Company holds interest in over 233,455 acres (94,476 hectares) in the world-class Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.Standard Uranium has successfully completed three joint venture earn in partnerships on their Sun Dog, Canary, and Atlantic projects totaling over $23.8M in work commitments over the next three years from 2024-2027.Standard Uranium's Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.Standard Uranium's Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.Standard Uranium's eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 42,384 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.For further information contact:Jon Bey, Chief Executive Officer, and ChairmanSuite 918, 1030 West Georgia StreetVancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3Tel: 1 (306) 850-6699E-mail: info@standarduranium.caCautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release contains "forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking information" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities legislation.

SINGAPORE, Oct 31, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Whether you're a frequent business traveller who's always on the go or a world explorer looking for your next adventure, a travel credit card can be a great way to make the best of your trips. The right travel credit card can enhance your travel experiences by offering opportunities to earn rewards, redeem rewards on travel expenses, access discounts and deals, and get perks and benefits like lounge access and travel insurance. Learn all about travel credit cards, what they can do for you and how to choose the right one in our guide below.What is a travel credit card?You may have heard of credit cards that offer discounts and savings on fuel, groceries or shopping. A travel credit card is a type of credit card that offers perks and rewards that make travel smooth and convenient. While the exact reward programs differ from one card to the next, what most miles credit cards have in common is that they grant users benefits and redemption opportunities specifically linked to travel.A travel credit card is a great way to turn everyday spending into travel rewards. Generally, a miles credit card or travel card will let you earn points, miles, or cashback on purchases, which you can redeem for travel-related expenses like flight tickets, hotel stays, car rentals, and more. Over time, savvy cardmembers may accumulate enough rewards to cover the full cost of a small vacation. Many travel credit cards also include benefits like complimentary lounge access, travel insurance, and exclusive discounts with partner airlines and hotels.Pros and Cons of a Travel Credit CardProsEarning points and miles: Your miles credit card helps you earn rewards on eligible purchases. If you use your credit card regularly for eligible purchases, your points or miles can add up quickly and bring you significant savings on your next trip.Sign-up bonuses: In addition to regular rewards, your card may offer a welcome bonus that lets you earn a significant number of points/miles if you meet certain spending criteria. These bonuses can provide a great boost to your rewards balance right from the start.Access to Airport Lounges: Your travel credit card may also include complimentary access to airport lounges, allowing you to enjoy a more relaxed travel experience with amenities like refreshments and comfortable seating before your flight.ConsHigh annual fees: Travel credit cards with good benefits may carry higher annual fees than regular cards. You'll need to review the costs and benefits associated with your credit card to decide if the travel benefits are worth the annual fee.Complex rewards systems: Rewards programs are only useful if you know how to use them well. It might take some time and effort to fully understand how to maximize your rewards.How to Choose a Travel Credit CardWhen choosing a travel or miles credit card in Singapore, consider your travel habits and preferences. Start by considering how often you travel. A card with a high fee may be worth it for frequent fliers, but if you only take one or two trips a year, seek out a card with a low or no annual fee with points that don't expire. You'll need to consider what benefits matter to you. Do you value lounge access, or is travel insurance more important? Choose a card that offers benefits that match your needs. Lastly, look for a rewards program that fits in with your lifestyle. If you spend a lot on dining and shopping, look for a card that offers higher rewards in those categories. Additionally, carefully review the points/redemption process before you apply for a travel credit card. A complex redemption process can be off-putting especially if there are many limits placed on redemption.Notice:Opinions, analyses, reviews, or recommendations expressed in this article are those of the select editorial staff's alone, and have not been reviewed, approved, or otherwise endorsed by any third party.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Two Antimony and One Tin Project in SlovakiaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 30, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") is pleased to announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with 1509149 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 1458205 B.C. Ltd. (the "Target"), and the controlling shareholder of the Target pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Target (the "Target Shares") by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Amalgamation")."As we acquire this premier antimony project in Slovakia with historical resources, we're taking a transformative step to strengthen Europe's access to essential raw materials. With a well established, rich mineral base, this brownfield site enables us to work towards a reliable domestic antimony supply when Europe faces mounting supply chain pressures," said CEO Scott Eldridge. "This acquisition reflects our commitment to reducing reliance on Chinese imports, ensuring stability for the European market, and empowering the West to drive a more resilient, self-sufficient future for critical materials."About the TargetThe Target owns three brownfield projects in Slovakia. Of the three projects, Trojarova is the most advanced ("Trojarova"). Located in western Slovakia, it potentially hosts one of the European Union's most significant known primary antimony deposits. 63 holes were historically completed into the deposit during the 1980-1900s over a strike length of 1.5 kilometers, along with nearly 1.7 kilometers of underground workings; the deposit hosts historical (non-compliant) antimony and accessory gold resources classified in the Soviet era Russian classification system.Additionally, Military has acquired both a tin and second antimony property in Slovakia. The tin property ("Medvedi-Potok"), likewise features significant historical drilling, underground development, and features a historical (non-compliant) tin resource. The Tiennesgrund antimony property features over two dozen small underground workings along its 10-kilometer length where historical production is reported.Consideration for the acquisition of 100% of the Target Shares comprises 10,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Company Shares"), at a deemed issuance price of $0.56 per Company Share, valued at a sum of CAD $5.6 million. The Company will also assume the Target's obligations in respect of its outstanding share purchase warrants, which will provide holders the right to acquire up to 3,499,997 Company Shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share."The Trojarova antimony project is potentially one of Europe's most significant primary antimony deposits. We've experienced an unprecedented rise in the antimony price increasing from $11,000 USD per tonne, to a current spot of approximately $34,000. Increased trade wars and geopolitical tensions have placed stronger importance on this strategic metal with multiple applications," said CEO Scott Eldridge. "The EU's Critical Raw Materials Act has opened multiple financing sources from local European institutions to foster the development of strategic metals within Europe's boarders."Antimony, a vital component in everything from battery technologies to advanced military applications such as night vision and infrared sensors, is classified as a critical mineral by the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. Currently, over 90% of global antimony reserves are concentrated in China, Russia, and Tajikistan. Military seeks to target antimony with the goal of contributing to the global antimony supply, and filling a gap that is present in the ability of Western countries to obtain this critical mineral.About the ProjectsDiscovered in the late 1970s, Trojarova was the focus of extensive surface and underground exploration from 1983 to 1995, with 63 core holes for a total of 14,330m, and 1.7km of underground workings completed. Efforts continued over the years as additional trenches were dug and holes were drilled. Starting in 1990, underground development work began ultimately comprising a 300-meter-long adit connected to a 700-plus meter-long drive in the footwall of the mineralized zone with seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone for sampling purposes. These efforts culminated in a multi-volume study comprising drill logs, analyses, drill plans, maps and sections, deposit model studies, petrographic studies, metallurgical studies and more, culminating in a multi-volume compendium of reports produced by the Slovak Geological Institute published in 1992 (the "1992 Report"). Upon completion of the Amalgamation, the Company will move forward to verify this historical estimate by confirmation drilling so that it is able to classify mineral resources at Trojarova as current, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The historical estimate at Trojarova was classified using the Slovak version of the newly post-Soviet Russian classification system, which is not directly comparable to or compatible with the western system as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroluem ("CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves").The 1992 Report contains a table featuring 10 alternate historical resource estimates, five focused on the antimony component of the mineralized system and five on its gold component, each group of five featuring decreasing tonnage at increasing grade for antimony and gold, respectively:Historical alternate resource estimate scenarios for TrojarovaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/228324_9c2d07525482cbe0_001full.jpgThe Slovak Geological Institute, the state agency that carried out all exploration and underground development work at Trojárová, classified the resource as "P1" in the Slovak version of the Russian classification system. P1 is closest within the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum's ("CIM") classification system to "Inferred Mineral Resources," which is defined by the CIM as that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.Considerable work remains to be completed before it will be possible to classify mineralization documented at Trojarova as current mineral resources. The historical drill logs need to be translated and transcribed into a logging format suitable for resource estimation purposes. All collar locations along with the underground maps need to be digitized and georeferenced. Depending upon the assessed quality and reliability of these data, it will be possible for a resource estimation geologist to determine the extent of confirmation drilling necessary so that mineralization documented at Trojarova can be classified as current mineral resources. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Military is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.The Tiennesgrund antimony project, located in eastern Slovakia, comprises a 10-kilometer-long license covering a large, fault/shear-hosted antimony-gold vein system hosting multiple adits and a long artisanal-scale mining history. The nearby Medvedi-Potok property hosts a classic tin vein system in a greisened intrusive; it features underground workings and a historical (non-compliant) resource. Additionally, on completion of the Amalgamation, the Company will inherit a small processing facility in Slovakia owned by the Target. Its inclusion in our strategic narrative underscores our commitment to efficiency and innovation, making it a key differentiator in today's market.With global demand for antimony soaring and critical mineral supply chains becoming increasingly strained geopolitically, Military is seeking to take advantage of a strategic opportunity to acquire an asset that can fill this global demand.Map showing the location of Military's properties in SlovakiaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/228324_9c2d07525482cbe0_002full.jpgThe technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E.
