Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 5, 2024) – Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) (“Founders” or the “Company”) announces drill core assay results from the Antino Gold Project (“Antino” or “Project”) in southeastern Suriname. The Company reports high-grade gold mineralization including 23.0 metres (m) of 5.00 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) at the Froyo Gold Zone (“Froyo” or “Zone”). Additional drilling extends gold mineralization at Froyo by 180 m. The Company has completed more than 40,000 m this year and expects to meet its 45,000 m goal by the end of the year.
Drilling Highlights
Exploration Highlights
Founders’ President and CEO, Colin Padget commented, “Drill hole 24FR090 represents the 22nd interval at Upper Antino exceeding 100 gram-metre per tonne**, reaffirming the deposit’s exceptional grade profile. The continuous growth at Upper Antino over the last 12 months has been a key de-risking step for the project, and when combined with the numerous new discoveries and impressive gold intercepts at Lower Antino and Buese, emphasizes Antino’s potential to develop into a Tier 1 asset. Moving forward into 2025, we are continuing with our strategy of unlocking value through aggressive exploration, new discoveries, and the continued expansion of known gold mineralization at Antino. On this note, we are particularly excited about the new discovery potential that the Lawa and Da Vinci target areas represent.”
Froyo Discussion
Drillholes 24FR090 and 24FR092 expand broad, high-grade gold mineralization northward at Froyo (Figure 2). These results continue to validate the exploration strategy of focusing on the sheared limbs of a regional-scale fold at Upper Antino, where a series parallel gold-bearing shear zones have been identified. Froyo now has a drill-defined strike length of ~1.6 km and an ~300 m wide mineralized footprint. To date drilling extends gold mineralization to a depth of 275 m and the system remains open in all directions. The deepest drilling at Froyo has delivered some of the broadest, highest-grade intercepts to date.
There is evidence of a repeating series of high-grade shoots within the broader mineralizing system. Analogous gold deposits in similar Guiana Shield stratigraphy host similar deep-rooted structures with gold mineralization extending to over 1000 m depth. Current drilling efforts at Upper Antino are focused on along-strike expansion of shallow, high-grade gold mineralization to the north and south. Future work will include systematic step-out drilling to target additional opportunity for further growth at depth. Figure 3 illustrates drilling progress and expanding gold mineralization along and across strike at Upper Antino over the last 18 months, including the identification of high-grade subparallel hanging wall shear zones. Additionally, a new high-grade shear zone-hosted discovery was made at Donut more than 900 m from Founders’ earliest work on Froyo.
Lawa North and Lawa South Targets
The road-accessible Lawa exploration targets are ~12 km east of Upper Antino (Figure 1). Founders’ geologists first visited the area to investigate recent artisanal mining activity and quickly identified two NNW-trending shear zones coincident with km-scale tonalitic intrusive bodies. Recent dry-season river bedrock mapping along the property’s northeastern margin identified multiple gold-bearing shear zones up to 75 m wide that connect with the structure at Lawa North, giving the target an 8 km long mineralized strike length. The Lawa South shear zone extends over 5 km. Early work indicates property-scale, gold-bearing structures with similar tonalitic intrusive-hosted gold mineralization as the Donut, Lower Antino, and Buese targets. Ongoing surface exploration includes >1 km of trenching, 550+ auger samples, channel sampling, and geological mapping. An initial drill program for Lawa is anticipated for H1 2025.
Da Vinci Target
The Da Vinci target, identified by onsite technical staff and prioritized due to its geological similarities to the gold-rich Froyo area, underwent initial mapping before Founders redirected a drill from nearby Buese for exploratory drilling (Figure 1). The promising early visual results at Da Vinci have led to the decision to keep the drill there through the year’s end. Meanwhile, Buese remains a focus-Founders will deploy its fourth diamond drill there in January to continue advancing the second phase of drilling. The Company anticipates releasing the pending Da Vinci drill results by the end of 2024.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 December 2024 – The Philippines’ Energy Development Corporation (EDC), a global renewable energy leader, has been awarded the Green Company of the Year at the 2024 Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability (ACES) Awards. This prestigious accolade recognises EDC’s unwavering commitment to advancing the country’s renewable energy sector while championing biodiversity, forest restoration, and climate change mitigation.
Energy Development Corporation was proudly honoured as Asia’s Green Company of the Year at the ACES Awards 2024. Representing EDC on stage were Abegail Gatdula, Watershed Management Officer (left center), Erwin Magallanes, Head of Corporate Relations (center), and Danilo Tolarba, AVP & Human Resource Head (right center). The award was presented by Luis Bueno Nieto, Advisor, ACES Council (left), Dr Jayanthi Desan, Advisor, ACES Council (2nd from left), Dr Shanggari Balakrishnan, President, ACES Awards (right), and Hemant Batra, Honorary Chairman, ACES Council (2nd from right). This recognition cements EDC’s leadership in sustainability and green innovation across Asia.
As the largest renewable energy producer in the Philippines, EDC is at the forefront of clean energy transformation. Central to its sustainability efforts is its BINHI programme, launched in 2008 to propagate endangered native tree species, rehabilitate degraded forests, and protect biodiversity. This flagship initiative embodies EDC’s long-term vision for ecological restoration and sustainable development.
Empowering Communities through Partnerships
EDC’s success stems from its strategic collaborations with local communities, farmers, and organisations. Working with 88 local farmer associations, EDC provides resources and training to manage nurseries, source seedlings, and protect forested areas near its geothermal plants.
One notable initiative is the Baslay Coffee Program in Negros Oriental, which supports former slash-and-burn farmers through sustainable agroforestry. By transitioning to eco-conscious coffee farming, these communities have gained stable livelihoods while safeguarding the environment. Similar programmes in Leyte and North Cotabato replicate this model, demonstrating EDC’s scalable approach to community engagement.
Global partnerships, including collaborations with the University of the Philippines Institute of Biology and BGCI’s Global Tree Assessment Program, further enhance BINHI’s impact on biodiversity conservation.
Leading in Regenerative Development
EDC’s sustainability philosophy extends beyond preservation to regenerative development. By restoring ecosystems and ensuring a net-positive environmental impact, EDC sets a benchmark for sustainable business practices. Its renewable energy portfolio—spanning geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar—plays a vital role in decarbonising the Philippines’ energy grid, avoiding nearly 6 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually. EDC’s geothermal plants, delivering 24/7 clean energy, are instrumental in reducing fossil fuel reliance.
Complementing its clean energy efforts, EDC’s watershed management programmes sequester more carbon than the company emits. In 2023, EDC’s forested areas absorbed 1.7 million tonnes of CO₂, surpassing its operational emissions of 1.1 million tonnes.
A Vision for a Regenerative Future
Looking ahead, EDC aims to expand its low-carbon energy portfolio to 9,000 MW by 2030, further reducing emissions and restoring ecosystems through BINHI and other initiatives. This vision reinforces EDC’s role in driving the Philippines’ transition to a regenerative, decarbonised future.
The ACES Green Company of the Year Award reflects EDC’s leadership in renewable energy and environmental regeneration. Shanggari B, President of the ACES Awards, states, “EDC’s vision of a regenerative future exemplifies how businesses can thrive while making a profound, positive impact on the planet.”

HOHHOT, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 December 2024 – Recently, the 2024 Green Methanol Energy Industry Development Forum and the Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Methanol-Hydrogen Product Showcase were held in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. These events have not only highlighted Inner Mongolia’s innovation and breakthroughs in the new energy sector but also outlined a clear path towards a greener future.
Methanol, recognized for its efficient combustion, clean emissions, and renewability, is seen as a “super fuel” that can address challenges to energy security and “carbon peaking and neutrality”. Driven by the global energy transition and China’s “carbon peaking and neutrality” goals, methanol is emerging as a star in the energy sector. China leads the world in renewable methanol production capacity, with 75% of new capacity expected to come from China by 2026.
As a resource-rich region in China, Inner Mongolia has both the advantage and the responsibility to develop a modern energy economy. The forum brought together international organizations, government departments, academicians, experts, key domestic and foreign enterprises, and relevant institutions to focus on the development of the green methanol industry and discuss ways to promote the high-quality development of new energy. Li Shufu, chairman of Geely Holding Group, pointed out at the forum that Inner Mongolia is adjusting its industrial structure and strengthening the important ecological security barrier in the north of China, laying a solid foundation for the development of methanol as a new quality productive force.
The series of methanol-hydrogen electric heavy-duty trucks, light trucks, mini trucks, and buses launched by Farizon at the forum are a microcosm of Inner Mongolia’s development of new energy commercial vehicles. These products not only cover scenarios such as trunk logistics, short-distance transportation, urban delivery, engineering vehicles, and urban public transportation, but also become the best solutions for new energy commercial vehicles in cold northern regions due to their excellent economy, environmental protection, applicability, and reliability. In particular, Farizon’s methanol-hydrogen electric heavy-duty truck named Homtruck has successfully completed an extreme mileage challenge of 1,522.9 kilometers from Wuwei, Gansu province to Turpan, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, using a tank of green methanol.
Furthermore, Inner Mongolia has made significant progress in green methanol production. The first phase of the Alashan 500,000-ton annual green methanol project, with an initial capacity of 100,000 tons, has officially kicked off. Utilizing Geely’s core green methanol production technology, the project synthesizes green methanol by coupling hydrogen produced from electrolyzed water with industrially captured carbon dioxide, achieving the recycling of carbon resources. The successful implementation of this project not only provides strong support for Inner Mongolia’s green transformation but also offers a best-practice example for the development of the methanol economy nationwide.
In terms of policy support, Inner Mongolia also demonstrates strong determination and action. According to the Finance Department of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, in 2024, Inner Mongolia secured 4.699 billion yuan in central financial subsidies for renewable energy electricity prices, effectively supporting the increase in wind power, photovoltaic, and biomass power generation across the region and promoting the consumption of renewable energy.

AACHEN, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 5 December 2024 – Customer requirements for the evolution of electric cars are clearly defined: reduced weight at increased efficiency, higher range at shorter charging times and maximum safety. FEV, Germany’s innovation powerhouse for the automotive and energy industry, and ProLogium, global pioneer in developing advanced vehicle batteries, fulfill precisely these requirements with their new product.
FEV and ProLogium present the latest generation of their Large-Footprint Lithium Ceramic Battery (LLCB). Thanks to its lightweight design and increased energy density, it enables longer ranges and offers the option of ultra-fast charging, among other things.
All this is made possible by LLCB technology (Large-Footprint Lithium Ceramic Battery). With its anode of 100 per cent silicon this battery offers a 10-times higher capacity density compared to graphite anodes used today. Depending on the vehicle segment and intended use, the LLCB saves up to 300 kg or allows a maximum range of 1,000 km. The applied solid-state electrolyte is non-flammable and increases safety against thermal runaway. It also prevents potential short circuits caused by leaking electrolyte fluid in the event of a spill.
“For the LLCB solution, we have successfully combined ProLogium´s know-how in the field of cell development with our development, system and testing expertise,” said Dr. Thomas Hülshorst, Global Vice President Electric Powertrain at FEV. “Our collaboration on battery packs and concept designs focuses not only on regulatory standards, but also on market requirements. We even exceed these.”
The anode also enables ultra-fast charging, charging the battery from five to 60 per cent within five minutes. This allows the user an average range of 300 km. After further three minutes, the battery is charged to 80 per cent and can cover additional 100 km. In this way, the LLCB helps to bring charging times closer to the duration of a refueling process for vehicles with combustion engines.
At the Paris Motor Show 2024, FEV and ProLogium announced to continue their joint efforts for LLCB development in the future.
