Military Metals Enters Definitive Agreement to Acquire European Union Antimony Deposits

Two Antimony and One Tin Project in Slovakia

Vancouver, 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 Target
The 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 Projects
Discovered 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:

The 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.

Mengniu Partners with Alliance for Water Stewardship to Promote Water Conservation Initiatives across the Global Dairy Industry


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 October 2024 – China Mengniu Dairy Company Limited and its subsidiaries (together as “Mengniu”, the “Company” or the “Group”) (Stock Code: 2319) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Alliance for Water Stewardship (“AWS”) during the Shanghai Sustainable Water Management Forum to enhance collaboration in facilitating AWS certification, promoting water conservation among consumers, standardizing sustainable water practices in the dairy industry, and establishing a benchmark for water management in China.

AWS is a global collaborative network that includes businesses, NGOs, and public sector organizations. Members of AWS contribute to the sustainability of local water resources by adopting and promoting a universal framework for responsible water use – the International Water Stewardship Standard, or AWS Standard. The framework drives, recognizes, and rewards exemplary water management practices.

Mengniu has been actively enhancing its water management initiatives in recent years. In 2020, the Company set a goal to achieve a 6% reduction in freshwater consumption per tonne of dairy product by 2025, compared to 2020. As of 2023, the Group has successfully reduced its water consumption per tonne of dairy product by 3.8% since 2020, resulting in annual water savings of 1,062,000 tonnes.

Meanwhile, Mengniu has achieved a series of significant milestones in water resource conservation.

  • Governance: Mengniu’s Sustainable Development Committee oversees its water resource management initiatives. Additionally, an Energy Conservation and Emissions Reduction Working Group was established to monitor the progress of business units on both a monthly and annual basis.
  • Operations: Mengniu has implemented the WWF Water Risk Filter tool to create water risk and watershed maps aligned with operational needs, facilitating systematic water risk management. The Group’s water conservation strategy, encapsulated in the “3U Strategy” – “Save Use”, “Recycle Use” and “Common Use” – empowers each business unit to actively identify opportunities and enhance technological innovations to reduce water consumption.
  • Certification and Standards: Mengniu has contributed to the formulation of several national and industry water conservation standards. As a result, 27 of the Group’s entities have been recognized as water-saving enterprises. Notably, Mengniu was the first company in the domestic dairy industry to receive AWS water management certification for three of its facilities.
  • Water Footprint: Milk Deluxe (Dream Cap), an organic pure milk product, received the first Water Footprint Verification Statement for organic pure milk in China. Additionally, Mengniu’s Dangyang facility also earned the first Organization Water Footprint Verification Statement in China, with the factory serving as the verification boundary.

Building on their shared commitment to sustainable water management developed over the years, Mengniu views this strategic partnership as a pivotal opportunity to enhance its water resource management practices. By closely collaborating with AWS and leveraging the unique knowledge, experiences, and strengths of both organizations, Mengniu and AWS will promote the adoption and implementation of water conservation standards in China to drive the sustainable development of dairy industry both in China and overseas.

Quality HealthCare Introduces New ‘Quality HealthCare Nursing Agency’ Mobile App to Empower Self-Employed Nurses and Carers with Easy Access to Job Opportunities

New digital app allows for a more streamlined nurse sourcing and placement service, enhancing employment flexibility and addressing emergency staffing shortages


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 October 2024 – As Hong Kong’s population continues to age, the shortage of healthcare manpower becomes increasingly pressing. In response, Quality HealthCare Medical Services Limited (QHMS) is pleased to launch the ‘Quality HealthCare Nursing Agency’ Mobile App (QHNA Mobile App). This innovative app streamlines the sourcing and placement process for nurses, enabling self-employed nurses and carers to easily discover and manage job opportunities anytime, anywhere, through a range of advanced features designed for greater efficiency and flexibility.

Hong Kong is experiencing one of the fastest ageing populations globally, with projections indicating that by 2039, 2.52 million people, or 31% of the population, will be aged 65 and above[1]. Meanwhile, the city has only 9.1 nurses per 1,000 residents, a figure significantly lower than that of other developed countries[2]. This shortage of nurses is expected to persist and potentially worsen in the coming years.

“Deeply rooted in Hong Kong, QHMS is committed to supporting the government in alleviating the strain on the public healthcare system,” said Elaine Chu, General Manager of QHMS. “The nurses and carers in our network are at the core of our services. Their expertise and dedication allow us to continuously improve the delivery of high-quality care to our clients. The launch of the QHNA Mobile App gives nurses and carers greater access to job opportunities, while providing timely and effective healthcare support to the community. This marks a key milestone in our digital transformation journey. Looking ahead, we will continue to embrace innovation and explore new digital solutions to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of healthcare services, helping people live longer and healthier lives.”

Since its establishment in 1975, the Quality HealthCare Nursing Agency (QHNA) has developed an extensive database of over 14,000 qualified and carefully selected self-employed nurses and carers. QHNA provides temporary staffing solutions for public and private hospitals, NGOs, elderly homes and clinics, while also offering curated medical care for homebound patients, including the elderly, individuals with chronic illnesses, and those with mobility difficulties.

The new QHNA Mobile App innovates traditional nursing services, transforming how self-employed nurses and carers manage their work. With its user-friendly interface, registered service providers can access, save, and select job opportunities at their convenience. They can also review pay rates, track work progress, schedule shifts, and use GPS for easy check-ins, enhancing both work efficiency and income security.

Nurses and carers can now register on QHNA Mobile App, where they are required to submit relevant professional qualifications and undergo a virtual interview with QHMS to ensure their services meet the company’s clinical governance standards. To encourage more service providers to join QHNA, registered members can earn additional incentives through referral or completing a designated number of shifts to unlock rewards.

QHMS is dedicated to promoting a healthier future and enhancing the long-term wellbeing of Hong Kong residents. The QHNA Mobile App replaces traditional paper-based processes with a fully digital system, embracing environmentally friendly practices and working alongside nurses and carers to build a more sustainable future.

QHMS will continue to spearhead digital transformation within the healthcare industry, actively collaborating with the government and various sectors to tackle the challenges of healthcare resourcing and staffing shortages through innovative solutions.

The QHNA Mobile App is now available on the Apple Store and Google Play. Registered nurses, enrolled nurses, nursing assistants, and other healthcare professionals are encouraged to download the app in below links.
