ADM Tronics Reports First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 Results

NORTHVALE, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2020 / ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc. (OTCQB:ADMT), a technology-based developer and manufacturer of innovative technologies and products, announces results for its first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 of Fiscal Year 2021.

ADM Tronics' first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 encompassed a full three-month period impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. ADMT took aggressive steps to minimize disruption of operations by securing Essential Manufacturer exemption from the statewide shutdown. This allowed continued research, development and manufacturing operations, throughout the quarter, while encompassing CDC safety guidelines. The Company established clerical activities remotely.

By maintaining full operational capability, ADMT's electronic segment manufacturing revenues increased over 86% to $288,062 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $154,767 for the same period last year. This was offset by revenues in engineering and chemical segments, combined, of $281,031 as compared to $676,054 for the same period last year, a decrease of 58%.

"Due to the pandemic, our first quarter was extremely challenging. Although many businesses shutdown or severely curtailed operations, we were steadfast in our efforts to persevere," stated Andre' DiMino, President of ADM Tronics. "That allowed us to increase our electronics segment revenue by over 86% compared to last year's first fiscal quarter. However, due directly to the effects of the pandemic on our customers, both our chemical and engineering segments posted reductions in revenues. Maintaining our commitment of advancing our proprietary developments, such as our Sonotron technology, we continued to invest in research and development. We are confident that, as the world emerges from this crisis, the investments made in our R&D, as well as our customers resuming demand for our products and services, we expect multiple avenues for substantial growth."

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were $569,093 as compared to $830,821 for the same period last year, a decrease of 31%. Net loss for June 30, 2020 was $115,736 as compared to net income of $52,769 for June 30, 2019. Complete financial results are available in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for June 30, 2020, available at www.sec.gov.

Diamond Drilling and Geophysics Underway in Australia

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2020 / Mawson Gold Limited ("Mawson" or the "Company") (TSX:MAW)(Frankfurt:MXR)(OTC PINK:MWSNF) is pleased to announce field programs are well underway, with diamond drilling commencing at its 100%-owned Sunday Creek gold project in the central Victorian goldfields of Australia. In addition, large geophysical surveys are ongoing at the Redcastle gold project.

Key points:

Diamond drilling has commenced at the Sunday Creek gold project in the Victorian Goldfields. The target is high-grade veining with associated mineralised halos, typical of epizonal-style gold mineralization at the Apollo-Golden Dyke prospect.

An initial 500 metre drill program is planned, after which the rig will immediately move to the Company's Redcastle project. A total program of 5,000 metres is planned for the remainder of 2020 in Victoria;
Historic gold mines at Sunday Creek occur over a greater than 11-kilometre trend. Modern drilling at Sunday Creek has focussed on shallow, previously mined surface workings, to an average of 80 metres depth. Selected historical drill results include:

CRC013: 21 metres @ 4.8 g/t gold from 9 metres including 2 metres @ 28.8 g/t gold from 15 metres, and VCRC022: 8 metres @ 11.3 g/t gold from 66 metres including 2 metres @ 40.3 g/t gold from 70 metres;

At Redcastle gradient array induced polarization ("IP") surveys are in progress, covering an area of 24 square kilometres which includes all historic workings. Dipole-dipole IP, ground magnetics and detailed gravity will also be undertaken at Redcastle, before crews move onto Sunday Creek to perform gradient IP, 3D IP and ground magnetics over the coming months.

At Redcastle, extremely high gold grades were mined over a 4.5 x 7 square kilometre area that contains over 24 historic mining areas, including the Welcome Group, that were exploited over a 2 kilometres strike length down to a maximum depth of 125 metres between the years ca. 1859-1865, producing 20,583 oz @ 254.6 g/t gold.

Mr. Hudson, Chairman and CEO, states: "Mr. Hudson, Chairman and CEO, states, "Exciting times with drilling commencing at Sunday Creek and project-scale geophysics revealing controls on high-grade mineralization at Redcastle, in our search for the next Fosterville-style epizonal high-grade gold deposit. Drilling will be ongoing in Victoria for the remainder of the year and we should see first results starting to flow during mid to late September."

Victoria has produced more than 80 million ounces of gold and has seen three booms: the 1850s, early 1900s, and the last three years. Two different styles of gold mineralization predominate in Victoria. The deep orogenic ("mesozonal") style and the shallow orogenic "epizonal" style. The mesozonal style is well represented in the Bendigo and Ballarat regions that are often represented by huge mineralizing systems containing abundant nuggety gold that are typically extremely difficult to accurately model in modern resource calculations. Mawson is sharply focused on the high-grade epizonal-style (i.e. Fosterville-style).

An initial 500 metre drill program is planned at Sunday Creek, after which the drill rig will immediately move to the Company's Redcastle project. A total drill program of 5,000 metres is planned for the remainder of 2020 in Victoria with a second rig planned to be added within 4-6 weeks.

The Sunday Creek project is a significant historic high-grade epizonal-gold mining area developed over multiple parallel zones over 11 kilometres of strike length. While the high-grade historic mines exist along these well-defined trends, limited systematic exploration has been undertaken within the larger 19,365 hectare project area. Drilling over 800 metres of strike-length, with a maximum average vertical depth of 80 metres has already taken place at the Golden Dyke-Apollo prospect area by previous operators. These historic drill results demonstrate high grade gold with selected holes including 8 metres @ 11.3 g/t gold from 66 metres including 2 metres @ 40.3 g/t gold. Trenching has also revealed broad low-grade oxide gold with one trench returning 166 metres @ 0.9 g/t gold.

Mawson acquired the Sunday Creek project on March 25, 2020 with the acquisition of EL6163 (5,822 hectares) and RL 6040 (300 hectares). A recent application of EL7232 (13,243 hectares) has extended the total land holding at Sunday Creek to 19,365 hectares. The project is an epizonal, Fosterville-style gold deposit located 56 kilometres north of Melbourne. Historically, the Golden Dyke Mine at Sunday Creek was one of the larger producers of gold in the Melbourne Zone of Victoria. Total production from the Sunday Creek goldfield is reported as 20,000 ounces gold at a grade of 16.9 g/t gold between 1865 and 1920. Gold mineralization is structurally controlled along multiple undrilled parallel trends within an 11 kilometre surface trend contains many historical epizonal-gold mines. At Golden Dyke, gold-grades within quartz-stibnite veins contained up to 120 g/t gold and 50% stibnite, while altered and stockworked diorite-dyke averaged 6 g/t gold outside of the high-grade veins. The epizonal-style Tonstal mine, located 8 kilometres north-east of the Golden Dyke mine extracted 2,814 tonnes at 23 g/t gold during the early 1900s, while the adjacent Tobin mine extracted 1.1 tonnes at 203 g/t gold in the late 1870s.

Trench sampling by CRA Exploration in the early 1980s at the Apollo prospect demonstrated extensive low-grade oxide gold over 166 metres at 0.9 g/t gold with results ranging from <0.04 g/t to 8.0 g/t gold, and including 30 metres @ 1.6 g/t gold. Two small drill campaigns tested the Golden Dyke-Apollo trend to 40-100 metres vertical depth over an 800 metre strike. In 1986, Ausminde Pty Ltd and Ausminde Holdings Pty Ltd (collectively "Ausminde") completed soil and rock chip sampling and undertook RC drilling in 1993 (29 RC drill holes). Beadell Resources Limited subsequently drilled at Golden Dyke-Apollo in 2008; 27 RC holes (4 with diamond drill tails) and 3 diamond drill holes. None of the drill or trench data have been independently verified at this time. The true thickness of the mineralized intervals is not known at this stage. Selected drill results with a 0.5 g/t and 5 g/t gold lower-cut from these two drill programs at Golden Dyke-Apollo included:

CRC013: 21 metres @ 4.8 g/t gold from 9 metres including 2 metres @ 28.8 g/t gold from 15 metres
VCRC022: 8 metres @ 11.3 g/t gold from 66 metres including 2 metres @ 40.3 g/t gold from 70 metres
VCRC011: 18 metres @ 4.5 g/t gold from 37 metres including 10 metres @ 7.1 g/t gold from 42 metres
VCRC007: 15 metres @ 4.5 g/t gold from 62 metres including 5 metres @ 11.2 g/t gold from 67 metres

Qualified Person

Michael Hudson (FAusMM), Chairman and CEO for the Company, is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure or Mineral Projects and has prepared or reviewed the preparation of the scientific and technical information in this press release.

MEMRI Cyber Jihad Lab (CJL) Impact: MEMRI’s Ongoing Work – And Major Report On Terrorist Use Of Cryptocurrency – Preceded U.S. Government’s Seizure Of Millions In Cryptocurrency From Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas Donation Campaigns

The U.S. Government's "Largest Ever Seizure Of Cryptocurrency In The Terrorism Context"

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2020 / On August 13, 2020, the U.S. government announced that it had seized about $2 million in Bitcoin and other types of cryptocurrency from accounts that had sent or received funds for three foreign terrorist organizations: Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades. Also seized were over 300 cryptocurrency accounts, four websites, and four Facebook accounts associated with cryptocurrency schemes. The action involved the U.S. Department of Justice, IRS Criminal Investigation, the Departments of Treasury and Homeland Security, as well as the FBI. According to the Department of Justice announcement, this was "the government's largest-ever seizure of cryptocurrency in the terrorism context" and involved "the solicitation of cryptocurrency donations from around the world."

Seizure Follows Publication Of MEMRI CJL Report On Terrorist Use Of Cryptocurrency

This government action against the terrorist groups followed the publication of research by the MEMRI Cyber Jihad Lab (CJL), which was established 15 years ago. It came a year after the publication, in August 2019, of the CJL's seminal report, The Coming Storm: Terrorists Using Cryptocurrency, documenting two years of research, led by MEMRI Executive Director Steven Stalinsky and the MEMRI Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM) team, on jihadi use of cryptocurrency, including in fundraising campaigns for purchasing weapons and supporting jihad.

MEMRI was the first organization to publish research on this subject and to conduct briefings on it at the highest level of the U.S. government and worldwide. Since the report's release, MEMRI has been briefing government agencies in the U.S. and abroad on its contents, including the Department of the Treasury, and has also continued to publish reports on the subject.

The MEMRI CJL report includes a preface by Lt.-Gen. (ret.) Vincent R. Stewart, former Deputy Commander of the United States Cyber Command and current Special Advisor and Chairman of the MEMRI Board of Advisors. In his preface, he wrote: "This study is the first significant research of its kind to show the scope of cryptocurrency use by terrorist organizations and their supporters, for fundraising and for financing attacks, purchasing equipment, supporting fighters and their families, and more. MEMRI research shows that over the past five years, this has developed from encouragement on jihadi blogs to donate "millions of dollars" in bitcoin to ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and many others to terrorist groups and their supporters soliciting donations in various cryptocurrencies on social media." (Read the report here.)

U.S. Officials: The Government's Actions Deprive Terrorists Of Millions Of Dollars

On the dismantling of the terrorist cryptocurrency financing John Demers, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's National Security Division, said: "Today's actions deprive Hamas, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS of millions of dollars they solicited to buy weapons and train terrorists. By raising cryptocurrency on social media, these terrorists tried to bring terrorist financing into the current age. But these actions show that law enforcement remains a step ahead of them."

Attorney General William Barr said: "Our enemies use modern technology, social media platforms and cryptocurrency to facilitate their evil and violent agendas… We will prosecute their money laundering, terrorist financing and violent illegal activities wherever we find them." Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin said: "Terrorist networks have adapted to technology, conducting complex financial transactions in the digital world, including through cryptocurrencies… Today's actions demonstrate our ongoing commitment to holding malign actors accountable for their crimes."

Aleksia Kainovic Speaks Out in Exclusive Interview

In a recent interview, Aleksia Kainovic shared what she has learned so far throughout her career

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2020 / Aleksia Kainovic was recently featured in a one-on-one interview with Thrive Global. She spoke primarily about the rewards of helping people through difficult situations.

With five years of experience, Aleksia Kainovic is a tax preparer at her family's H&R Block franchise. She is currently studying Economics at American University.

In her interview, Aleksia explained how when she started working as a tax preparer, she was surprised by the loyalty of clients who returned year after year to her family's business to prepare their taxes. She further explained how tax preparation can be a challenging industry as there are many changes to tax laws that professionals constantly must be aware of in addition to technological changes.

She further shared some advice for those starting out in her industry.

"Be prepared for fluctuations in the business cycle. There are slow seasons and there are peak seasons. During slow seasons, you can get a little accustomed to the decline in pace, and then all of a sudden you are hit with a tsunami and you don't have a chance to breathe," said Aleksia Kainovic.

"Be prepared to be busy, but don't get too comfortable when it's slow. Use that time to learn more about the industry."

Aleksia also explained what success means to her.

"Success for me is being able to help people that are stuck in difficult situations, like getting a letter from the IRS," explained Aleksia Kainovic.

"It usually makes people really nervous. Assuring them that I'm going to do my best to try to help them solve the issue makes me feel like I'm not only a tax preparer, but a support system for them."

About Aleksia Kainovic

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Aleksia Kainovic is an Economics student at American University in Washington, DC. For the past five years, she has worked as a tax preparer at her family's H&R Block franchise. Her family has been involved in tax preparation for more than 30 years. Aleksia is intrigued by economics, as the field will allow her to expand her expertise beyond tax and accounting fields to additional areas including data science or economic policy and analysis.
