Bradda Head Lithium highlights high-grade intersections from drilling at San Domingo district

Bradda Head Lithium Limited

Bradda Head Lithium executive chairman Ian Stalker joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of the latest drilling campaign at the San Domingo (SD) district in Arizona. Stalker said the campaign unveiled high-grade lithium intersections, notably in the Morningstar South target, with lithium grades reaching 3-4% over substantial meterage. He emphasized the strategic significance of these findings, particularly considering the current challenging lithium market. The San Domingo district, spanning 23 square kilometres, features lithium in core spodumene form, which is notably easier and more efficient to recover. The shallow depth of these lithium deposits suggests potential for open-pit mining, a more cost-effective approach than deep mining. This aspect aligns with the company's strategy to minimize exploration costs in a tough market environment. To navigate the turbulent lithium market, Bradda Head Lithium has streamlined corporate costs, including staff reductions, to maintain financial stability without compromising project efficiency. This strategic move positions the company advantageously for upcoming market changes. Stalker anticipates a "third wave" in the lithium market, driven by the ongoing demand for electric vehicles. Bradda Head Lithium is now focusing on converting its findings into resources, with additional drilling and metallurgical testing planned. The company's diversified portfolio, including lithium in clays and oil brines, further strengthens its market position. ‌ Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

California Couple Loses Home Due to Blatant Bookkeeping Error by Specialized Loan Servicing, LLC

Law Office of Lorden and Reed

In a distressing incident highlighting the critical impact of administrative errors in mortgage servicing, a now-separated couple from Palmdale, California, has filed a multi-count lawsuit against Specialized Loan Servicing, LLC (SLS). The lawsuit, filed in California State Court, alleges breach of contract, theft, and several other counts, accusing SLS of negligence as the mortgage servicer added a quarter of a million dollars to the couple’s mortgage – leading to their financial and personal ruin. The couple is represented by the Law Office of Lorden and Reed. Michael L. Russell and Renita Y. Russell, the plaintiffs in this case, claim that SLS's incompetence and negligent bookkeeping forced them into bankruptcy and later to a short sale of their home. This resulted in a significant loss of equity, estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and severe emotional distress, which contributed to the dissolution of their over 20-year marriage. The Russells' story began in 2004 when they purchased a four-bedroom home in Palmdale. SLS took over the servicing of their loan in 2014. Following a loan modification in 2015, SLS erroneously added over a quarter of a million dollars to the loan balance. By 2018, SLS claimed the Russells were in default by $69,332, and by early 2019, the indebtedness purportedly reached a staggering $946,239. Despite their efforts, including filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy and making consistent payments towards their mortgage, the couple's attempts to resolve the issue through legal counsel and requests for an accurate accounting from SLS were fruitless. The inflated loan balance led to a forced short sale in April 2022 to avoid foreclosure. A year later, SLS admitted they were wrong but refused to accept responsibility for their egregious actions. The consequences of SLS's actions have been devastating for the Russells. They lost approximately $300,000 in home equity and faced excessive housing costs, moving and storage expenses, attorney fees, and litigation costs. Moreover, they have endured severe mental and emotional distress, resulting in the breakdown of their marriage, significant damage to their credit, and the loss of their home. SLS, in their capacity as the mortgage servicer, was acting on behalf of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company. Last year, Rithm Capital Corp. announced it would acquire Computershare Mortgage Services Inc. and certain affiliated companies including Specialized Loan Servicing LLC. The lawsuit includes counts of breach of contract, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation, unfair business practices, unfair debt collection, theft, and other counts. The Russells seeks restitution of all monies paid to SLS in excess of the actual amount owed, compensatory damages, and punitive damages. The Russells wish to hold SLS accountable for the irreparable harm caused by their alleged negligence and to warn others of the potential risks involved in mortgage servicing errors.

Clene Inc. announces positive results from CNM-Au8 results from MS trial

Clene Inc

Clene Inc (NASDAQ:CLNN) CEO Rob Etherington joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news regarding the latest findings from the long-term open-label extension (LTE) of the VISIONARY-MS trial. This trial focuses on participants with stable relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) and represents nearly three years of follow-up research. Following the conclusion of the double-blind period of the trial, participants were given the opportunity to continue with CNM-Au8® treatment at a dose of 30mg for an additional 96 weeks during the LTE phase. The analysis encompassed the modified intent-to-treat population, which included all study participants with valid clinical data. Etherington highlighted the key finding that long-term CNM-Au8 treatment showcased improvements in vision, as measured by low contrast visual acuity, an essential assessment of visual function in individuals living with multiple sclerosis. Remarkably, these improvements in vision persisted for 35 months from randomization, demonstrating the sustained efficacy of CNM-Au8 over an extended period. Moreover, the data revealed consistent and robust overall enhancements not only in vision but also in cognition among participants treated with CNM-Au8 for nearly three years from randomization. These results are particularly noteworthy for their potential to positively impact disease progression and potentially reverse established disability, representing a significant therapeutic breakthrough for patients with MS. Full clinical results from the long-term open-label extension will be officially presented at the ninth annual Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis Forum, scheduled to take place from February 29 to March 2, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Florida. Clene's commitment to advancing treatments for multiple sclerosis is evident in these promising results, and their ongoing research holds great promise for enhancing the quality of life for individuals affected by this condition. The potential to offer effective long-term solutions and improve both vision and cognitive function is a significant step forward in the battle against multiple sclerosis.
