Dateline Resources Limited (ASX:DTR)(OTC PINK:DTREF) has updated its Scoping Study for the 100% owned Colosseum Gold Project, increasing the gold price assumption from $2,200/oz in the October 2024 Project Definition Study (PDS) to $2,900/oz for the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS), reflecting recent gold price performance averaging $3,000/oz in 2025 and a long-term consensus forecast. With all other production assumptions unchanged, this results in a 32% increase in sales revenue, a 208% increase in net revenue before tax, a 134% increase in NPV to US$550 million from US$235 million (6.5% discount), and a 96% increase in before-tax internal rate of return (IRR) to 61% from 31%. These outcomes, at a Scoping Study level of confidence, highlight the project’s robust potential as it advances into the BFS.

Table 1: Colosseum Gold Mine Scoping Study – Estimates of Inputs and Outcomes

Note: The following table should be read in conjunction with the cautionary statement below

*** The results presented in Table 1 are estimates only, based on an estimated level of accuracy of +/- 35%, as per the Cautionary Statement below**

Cautionary Statement

The Project Definition Study was undertaken to assess the viability of developing the Colosseum Gold Project by constructing an open cut mine ± underground mine and processing facility to produce gold doré.

It is a preliminary technical and economic study of the potential viability of the Colosseum Project. It is based on technical and economic assessments that are not sufficient to support the estimation of Ore Reserves. Further exploration and evaluation work and appropriate studies are required before Dateline will be in a position to estimate any Ore Reserves or to provide any assurance of an economic development case.

The Study is based on the material assumptions highlighted in the announcement “Colosseum Scoping Study Delivers Positive Outcomes,” 23 October 2024. While the Company considers all the material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the Study will be achieved.

There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources, and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated or Measured Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realized.

The Study is based on the June 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate, is based on low-level technical and economic assessments, and is insufficient to support the estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Study will be realized.

The Study has been completed to a level of accuracy of +/-35% in line with industry standard accuracy for this stage of development. The Company has reasonable grounds for disclosing a Production Target, given that in the first five years of production, 89% of the mill feed is scheduled from the Measured and Indicated Resource category, which exceeds the economic payback period for the Project by 1.75 years.

Approximately 55% of the Life of Mine Production Target is in the Measured Mineral Resource category, 26% is in the Indicated Mineral Resource category, and 19% is in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. There is a lower level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources, and while the Company considers all the material assumptions in this Study to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated will be achieved.

The Mineral Resources underpinning the production target in the Study have been prepared by a Competent Person in accordance with the requirements of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources, and Ore Reserves (JORC Code (2012)). The Competent Person’s Statement is found in the Mineral Resources section of the Study. For full details of the Mineral Resource Estimate, please refer to Dateline’s ASX Announcement dated 6 June 2024.

Dateline confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that release. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in that Announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Note that unless otherwise stated, all currency in this Announcement is US dollars.

Innovative Asset Monitoring Technology Selected by U.S.’s Largest Container Chassis Provider

WATERLOO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2025 / BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB) today announced that Direct ChassisLink, Inc. (“DCLI”), the largest provider of container chassis to the U.S. intermodal industry, will deploy BlackBerry® Radar® across 100,000 of its DCL53 domestic 53-foot chassis.

Funding will be used for production and company growth in the US and abroad

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), an autonomous delivery network anchored by patented AI-powered Arrive Points™, today announced that it has secured financial backing of up to $40 million from Streeterville Capital, LLC. Access to the capital coincided with Arrive AI’s public debut on Nasdaq on May15, 2025.

“This significant capital injection is one of the reasons we went to the public markets,” said Arrive AI CEO Dan O’Toole. “We celebrate the forward thinking Streeterville is leading with in their major commitment to our vision.”

Streeterville Capital is an investment firm with operations in Utah and Tennessee with investments in companies including Cingulate, the Marygold Companies and Damon Inc. Streeterville Capital President John Fife said he is intrigued with the vast potential of Arrive AI’s solution for package delivery issues like security and efficiency, and the cost savings that can be gleaned.

“This is an exciting answer to problems that are plaguing every industry. Dan and his crew really saw the future coming and worked quickly to meet needs that are starting to be seen around the world,” Fife said. “We’re excited to see how this plays out and are clearly bullish about Arrive AI.”

In 2014, O’Toole filed for his first patent for his concept of an AI-powered, smart mailbox capable of securely accepting packages delivered autonomously, beating similar filings from other potential competitors. Since then, he has built a global team, made multiple iterations and acquired complementary technology to refine the devices now known as “Arrive Points.” The company, which has amassed nearly 5,000 private investors and raised nearly $12 million, has largely generated capital via crowdsourcing. Now that Arrive AI is public a new chapter has begun.

SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2025 / Dr. Anil Diwan, President of NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE Amer.:NNVC ) (the “Company”), comments on the new COVID Vaccine policy adopted by the US FDA.

The new FDA COVID Vaccine Booster Shots policy ^[1] is based on the findings that the groups that benefit from repeat of vaccination (i.e. booster shots) are the groups that are likely to be at risk of severe COVID disease from the virus. These groups include all adults over 65 years of age, and persons over 6 months of age that have one or more co-morbidity factors leading to a disposition towards severe COVID if infected.

The FDA policy notes that the benefit of repeat dosing of vaccine among people with low risk (i.e. healthy adults) is uncertain. As such, the FDA now will require randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials that produce evidence of effectiveness in this healthy adults group if a vaccine is submitted for licensure to include this group.

In the past, the COVID vaccines were approved for all ages above 6 months. This resulted in CDC recommending the COVID vaccines for everyone. Yet, COVID vaccine uptake rate was only about 25% of the eligible persons in the last few years.

Over years of exposure, the population has built immunity due to multiple infections from ever-changing COVID variants as well as multiple vaccinations. An additional booster dose in such population would only make sense if a clear benefit can be proven.

“Evidence-based decision making about vaccine boosters policy for COVID is a welcome change over broadcast vaccine recommendation for all,” commented Anil R. Diwan, Ph.D., President and Executive Chairman of NanoViricides, adding, “This rational and scientific, non-dogmatic approach should go a long way towards restoring public trust in institutions that make decisions that affect peoples’ lives.”

The new policy brings the US FDA policy to be similar to the vaccination policies adopted in most developed countries. Even so, between 100 million to 200 million Americans are estimated to be eligible for boosters because of the broad definition for co-morbidity factors that put a person at high risk of severe COVID, which include obesity, diabetes, asthma, and even mood disorders.

“We believe that when a highly effective antiviral drug against COVID becomes available, the need for vaccination will decrease substantially,” said Dr. Diwan, adding, “Our broad-spectrum antiviral drug NV-387 is poised to become an important solution for multiple viral threats that emerge every season, including Influenzas, Coronaviruses, RSV, MPox, and possibly even Measles!”

About NanoViricides

NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”) ( www.nanoviricides.com ) is a clinical stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Company’s novel nanoviricide™ class of drug candidates and the nanoviricide™ technology are based on intellectual property, technology and proprietary know-how of TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company has a Memorandum of Understanding with TheraCour for the development of drugs based on these technologies for all antiviral infections. The MoU does not include cancer and similar diseases that may have viral origin but require different kinds of treatments.

The Company has obtained broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in several licensed fields from TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company’s business model is based on licensing technology from TheraCour Pharma Inc. for specific application verticals of specific viruses, as established at its foundation in 2005.

Our lead drug candidate is NV-387, a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that we plan to develop as a treatment of RSV, COVID, Long COVID, Influenza, and other respiratory viral infections, as well as MPOX/Smallpox infections. Our other advanced drug candidate is NV-HHV-1 for the treatment of Shingles. The Company cannot project an exact date for filing an IND for any of its drugs because of dependence on a number of external collaborators and consultants. The Company is currently focused on advancing NV-387 into Phase II human clinical trials.

NV-CoV-2 (API NV-387) is our nanoviricide drug candidate for COVID-19 that does not encapsulate remdesivir. NV-CoV-2-R is our other drug candidate for COVID-19 that is made up of NV-387 with remdesivir encapsulated within its polymeric micelles. The Company believes that since remdesivir is already US FDA approved, our drug candidate encapsulating remdesivir is likely to be an approvable drug, if safety is comparable. Remdesivir is developed by Gilead. The Company has developed both of its own drug candidates NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R independently.

The Company is also developing drugs against a number of viral diseases including oral and genital Herpes, viral diseases of the eye including EKC and herpes keratitis, H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others. NanoViricides’ platform technology and programs are based on the TheraCour® nanomedicine technology of TheraCour, which TheraCour licenses from AllExcel. NanoViricides holds a worldwide exclusive perpetual license to this technology for several drugs with specific targeting mechanisms in perpetuity for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Rabies, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus, Dengue viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, West Nile Virus, Ebola/Marburg viruses, and certain Coronaviruses. The Company intends to obtain a license for RSV, Poxviruses, and/or Enteroviruses if the initial research is successful. As is customary, the Company must state the risk factor that the path to typical drug development of any pharmaceutical product is extremely lengthy and requires substantial capital. As with any drug development efforts by any company, there can be no assurance at this time that any of the Company’s pharmaceutical candidates would show sufficient effectiveness and safety for human clinical development. Further, there can be no assurance at this time that successful results against coronavirus in our lab will lead to successful clinical trials or a successful pharmaceutical product.

This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s current expectation regarding future events. Actual events could differ materially and substantially from those projected herein and depend on a number of factors. Certain statements in this release, and other written or oral statements made by NanoViricides, Inc. are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could, and likely will, materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the company’s expectations include, but are not limited to, those factors that are disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in documents filed by the company from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory authorities. Although it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, they may include the following: demonstration and proof of principle in preclinical trials that a nanoviricide is safe and effective; successful development of our product candidates; our ability to seek and obtain regulatory approvals, including with respect to the indications we are seeking; the successful commercialization of our product candidates; and market acceptance of our products.

The phrases “safety”, “effectiveness” and equivalent phrases as used in this press release refer to research findings including clinical trials as the customary research usage and do not indicate evaluation of safety or effectiveness by the US FDA.

FDA refers to US Food and Drug Administration. IND application refers to “Investigational New Drug” application. cGMP refers to current Good Manufacturing Practices. CMC refers to “Chemistry, Manufacture, and Controls”. CHMP refers to the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, which is the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) committee responsible for human medicines. API stands for “Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient”. WHO is the World Health Organization. R&D refers to Research and Development.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM / ACCESS Newswire / May 21, 2025 / Feeding your dog or cat might be doing more damage to the planet than you think.

A new study has revealed that conventional meat-based pet food carries a largely unrecognized environmental cost – contributing significantly to land use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and climate breakdown. The review, just published, found that pet food production is closely tied to the livestock industry, which is responsible for at least one-fifth of annual global GHG emissions.

With the world’s pet population now approaching one billion animals, the impacts are no longer minor. In the United States alone, dog and cat diets account for 25-30% of the environmental toll of livestock farming. One analysis even found that a single medium-sized dog’s diet in Japan had a greater environmental footprint than the average Japanese person’s diet.

But experts say there’s a powerful – and practical – solution. Stated Billy Nicholles, the lead author, “Switching pets to nutritionally sound vegan diets significantly mitigates our dogs and cats’ environmental ‘paw prints.’ It’s a huge opportunity to reduce the environmental burden of our food system.”

The study examined 21 existing analyses of pet food sustainability and concluded that diet was the single largest factor driving environmental impacts. Protein choice was key: pet foods rich in animal ingredients were consistently linked to much larger environmental impacts.

By contrast, vegan pet diets – where formulated to be nutritionally sound – offered major reductions across all impact categories. If all pet dogs worldwide were fed a vegan diet, the resulting food energy savings could feed 450 million people, according to the study. Greenhouse gas savings would exceed the UK’s annual emissions.

“This offers huge potential,” said Professor Andrew Knight, co-author and veterinary expert. “Modern vegan pet foods are not only safe, but often healthier. And they’re vastly more sustainable.”

The report also pointed to emerging innovations like cultivated meat and precision-fermented proteins, which are beginning to enter the pet food market. These alternatives promise the taste and nutrition of meat without the massive environmental burden.

With consumer demand growing, the authors urge governments, brands, and the public to rethink what goes into pet food bowls. “Sustainable pet food isn’t just a niche trend,” said Nicholles. “It’s a climate solution hiding in plain sight.”
