11.8.2021 01:33:22 CEST | ACCESS Newswire | Press release
PERTH, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / August 10, 2021 / Tempus Resources Ltd (" Tempus " or the " Company ") (ASX:TMR)(TSXV:TMRR)(OTCQB:TMRFF) is pleased to announce it has received the first assay results from 2021 drilling at its Elizabeth Gold Project in Southern BC, Canada, consisting of results for one hole, EZ-21-04.
HIGHLIGHTS
- First assay results return ‘bonanza' grade gold mineralisation in diamond drill hole EZ-21-04
- The EZ-21-04 significant intersection was:
- 4.00m at 31.2g/t gold from 122.00m, including:
- 1.50m at 52.1g/t gold from 123.00m, and:
- 0.50m at 72.0 g/t Au from 124.0m
- 4.00m at 31.2g/t gold from 122.00m, including:
- 14 drill-holes completed so far at Elizabeth with multiple assays pending:
- Assays for remaining three of first four drill-hole batch expected imminently
- Another four holes submitted to the lab in a second batch in July
- Additional seven holes completed, with samples being prepared to be sent to the lab
- Continued diamond drilling at Elizabeth has confirmed SW Vein mineralisation in drill-holes along strike and down dip of historical resource envelope
Hole EZ-21-04 returned ‘bonanza' grade gold values. The main significant intersection was 4.00 metres at 31.2g/t gold from 122.00 metres down-hole depth, including 1.50 metres at 52.1g/t gold from 123.00 and including 0.50 metres at 72.0 g/t gold . See Figure 1.
Tempus President and CEO, Jason Bahnsen, commented "Drilling at Elizabeth continues to generate very high-grade intersections over robust widths. We will be receiving further assay results soon and we're very excited to see the results as we continue to expand the Elizabeth resource envelope."
EZ-21-04 is part of the group of the first four drill-holes of the 2021 program, which were designed to intersect the northern ore-shoot of the SW Vein at Elizabeth to test the consistency of grade and add to the confidence level for resource estimation. That first group of holes were delivered to the lab for analysis on 24 June 2021 and the results of the additional three holes in that batch (EZ-21-01, EZ-21-02 and EZ-21-03) are expected imminently. Given the very high-grade nature of EZ-21-04 and our expectations for other holes in that batch, Tempus has also asked the lab to perform additional tests using screen metallics, which is a technique used for core with coarse grained gold core. These metallic screen results are still pending and will also be release after they have been received.
Tempus has completed 3,600m of drilling since the program started 5 June 2021 which consists of 14 diamond drill holes. Drill collar information can be seen in Appendix 1, Table 1. Seven of these drill holes are in the analysis phase at SGS and additional holes in the preparation phase on site.

Tempus' technical team continue to be encouraged by what they are seeing in the drill core as drilling continues to systematically explore down dip of the southern and northern ore-shoots as well as drill test along strike to the north. See Figures 2 & 3 for recent drill-hole locations.
The Elizabeth Gold Project is the flagship project for Tempus and is located in the Bralorne Gold District of southern British Columbia. The 115km 2 project is a relatively underexplored high-grade mesothermal gold mineralisation presenting itself in relatively wide (typically ~1-5m wide) vein sets. The high-grade quartz veins encountered in the drilling at Elizabeth show close geological similarities to the Bralorne mesothermal vein system (approximately 30km away), which was mined to a depth of approximately 2,000 metres and produced more than 4 million ounces of gold over a period of 50 years.

Mining operations lasted six months and ended in May of 1999. During this period,6,547 oz of Au and 17,300 oz of Ag were producedfrom 21,268 tons of ore. Further exploration programs were continued by Claimstaker over the following years and a Japanese joint venture partnerwas brought onboardthat prompted a name changeto J-Pacific Gold Inc. This partnership was terminated by 2010, resulting in another name change to Sona Resources Corp.

U.S. Marine Corps Selects GA-ASI for MUX TACAIR Collaborative Combat Aircraft Program10.2.2026 21:00:00 CET | Press release
GA-ASI's YFQ-42A Platform to Support Next-Generation Expeditionary Air Operations SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 10, 2026 / General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) was competitively selected by the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) for evaluation in the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Uncrewed Expeditionary Tactical Aircraft (MUX TACAIR) Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program. The agreement integrates GA-ASI's expertise in autonomy and uncrewed aircraft systems with a government-provided mission package, usingthe YFQ-42A platform as a surrogate to evaluate integration with crewed fighters. The contract initiates integration of a Marine Corps mission kit into the YFQ-42A surrogate platform for assessment within the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). The USMC contract includes the rapid development of autonomy for the government-supplied mission kit - a cost-effective, sensor-rich, software-defined suite capable of delivering kinetic and non-kinetic effects -
Changing Your Dog's Diet May Help the Planet More Than Changing Your Own, Study Finds10.2.2026 17:30:00 CET | Press release
LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / February 10, 2026 / Diets high in meat, eggs, and dairy products incur significant environmental costs. But a new study has revealed that, in many cases, switching your dog to a more sustainable diet may have a bigger impact on the planet and farmed animals than changing your own diet. The research, published in the journal Animals by veterinary Professor Andrew Knight, found that the average dog consumes around 13 farmed land animals annually within its diet, compared with nine for the average person--a difference of roughly 40%. This gap exists largely because a greater proportion of a typical dog's dietary energy comes from animal-based ingredients--about 34%--compared to around 19% for people. These figures represent global averages and vary by country. In high-income nations such as the United States, consumption is higher across the board. There, an average person consumes 24 farmed land animals annually, compared with 20 for a dog--a smaller differ
Reco Raises $30M B Round for a Total of $85M to Meet Rapidly Growing Demand for AI SaaS Security Among Enterprises10.2.2026 16:30:00 CET | Press release
After growing ARR by 400% in 2025, Reco secures new backing months after its last funding to secure AI SaaS usage NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / February 10, 2026 / Reco, a leader in securing AI SaaS environments, today announced a $30 million Series B funding round led by Zeev Ventures, with participation from all existing investors including Insight Partners, boldstart ventures, while adding new corporate investors Workday Ventures, TIAA Ventures, S Ventures, and Quadrille Capital. The new funding comes less than 10 months after Reco's previous raise to meet the exponential demand to discover and secure AI SaaS at any modern enterprise. The round follows another year of exceptional growth for Reco. After growing 500% year-over-year in 2024, the company scaled an additional 400% in 2025 on a significantly larger base, driven by a sharp increase in enterprise AI adoption and the rapid rise of shadow AI, where 71% of knowledge workers now use AI tools without IT approval an
