MiningNewsBreaks – Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) Announces Strategic Move to Sell Alta Mesa Project, Focus on Uranium and Rare Earth Production

Nov 14, 2022

Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a leading U.S. producer of uranium and rare earth elements (“REE”), today announced its entry into a definitive agreement to sell three wholly owned subsidiaries that together hold its Alta Mesa ISR Project to enCore Energy for total consideration of $120 million (the “transaction”). The transaction, which is expected to close by the end of 2022 or early 2023, is significant for the company, as the cash received is expected to fully finance much of Energy Fuels’ uranium, REE, vanadium and medical isotope business plans for the next two to three years without diluting shareholders. “This is a unique transaction for Energy Fuels. Not only does it allow us to monetize the Alta Mesa Project for $120 million, it allows our company to focus and accelerate our higher priority uranium and rare earth projects without dilution to our shareholders,” said Mark S. Chalmers, president and CEO of Energy Fuels. “This non-dilutive transaction will add cash to Energy Fuels’ significant working capital position, which was $122 million at September 30, 2022. Energy Fuels will also retain some exposure to short-term market upside and optionality at Alta Mesa and enCore through the convertible note.”

Asian cinema has a rich tradition of exploring the elaborate craft of traditional forms of theatre. From Tsui Hark’s action-packed Peking Opera Blues (1986) to Chen Kaige’s Cannes Palme d’Or-winning Farewell My Concubine (1993), the backstage drama of Chinese opera has long captivated filmmakers. Similarly, Japan’s kabuki theatre has yielded such lush masterpieces as Kon Ichikawa’s An Actor’s Revenge (1963) and Lee Sang-il’s Kokuho (2025). Films about the Western theatrical tradition, however,...

Keeping your energy up is not about coffee

Nov 10, 2026

Keeping your energy up is not about coffee

You know that familiar feeling. It’s 2 p.m., your eyes are heavy, your brain is foggy, and you’re reaching for your third cup of coffee as if it were a lifesaver. Think again. Here’s the truth most of us ignore: Energy is not something you borrow from caffeine. It’s something you build. Many of us have learned this the hard way. For years, we assumed we were simply low-energy people, without realizing that our daily habits could be the real culprit. Consider this familiar routine — sleep late, wake up tired, survive on sugar and coffee, crash in the afternoon, then stay up late scrolling on your phone. The cycle repeats itself day after day. It isn’t laziness. It’s a habit that gradually drains your energy. One of the first things you can change is your sleep pattern. It’s not just about getting more sleep but also about keeping a regular schedule. Your body needs consistency. Sleeping from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. one day and 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next, even if you get eight hours each time, does not give your body the rhythm it needs. Start going to bed earlier and waking up at the same time every day, including weekends. You may find that your usual 2 p.m. energy slump begins to disappear. Food is another factor. This isn’t about dieting but being mindful of what and when you eat. A heavy, high-carbohydrate lunch can leave you feeling sleepy. You don’t have to give up rice. Simply make lunch lighter by adding more lean protein and vegetables. It’s a small adjustment that can make a big difference. Movement is just as important. This might sound counterintuitive, but when you’re tired, moving can be one of the quickest ways to wake you up. You don’t need to go to the gym. A 10-minute walk outside, a few stretches or simply getting up and walking around can help keep your mind alert. Sitting for four hours straight does little to support your energy levels. Binge-watching movies may feel relaxing, but it isn’t doing your heart any good. Make it a habit to stand up and move every 20 minutes. Don’t overlook water and sunlight, either. Dehydration can feel a lot like exhaustion. Before reaching for another cup of coffee, drink a full glass of water and step outside for five minutes of sunlight. Sunlight helps reset your body clock, while water helps keep your body functioning properly. Add some movement to the routine, and you also get your circulation going. You don’t need more motivation or another energy drink. What you need is a body that isn’t constantly working against you. Start with one positive change this week. Go to bed at the same time every night. Drink water first thing in the morning. Take a walk after lunch. Whenever possible, take a stroll after dinner, especially after a sumptuous meal. Remember, maintaining your energy isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about doing the little things better, every day. Affirmation: “Everything is working in my favor.” Love and light.

PascualLab marks 80 years with free checkups and health donations

Ninety members of Asilo de San Vicente de Paul in Manila received free medical checkups and cough remedies in October through a partnership between Pascual Laboratories Inc. (PascualLab) and Caritas Manila. The outreach marked the pharmaceutical company’s 80th anniversary and also served as the occasion for the two organizations to sign a memorandum of agreement. PascualLab employees volunteered at the event. Through Caritas Manila’s community network and logistical support, the company plans to extend the outreach to more people in need. Products earmarked for distribution include Poten-Cee vitamin C for adults and children, lagundi leaf preparations, C-Lium Fibre food supplements and OraCare mouthrinse. The partnership is part of PascualLab’s corporate social responsibility program, Sowing to Empower, Educate and Develop (SEED). Caritas Manila, the Catholic Church’s social welfare arm, works with communities such as Asilo de San Vicente de Paul. PascualLab said the collaboration supports two United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, one focused on good health and well-being and the other on partnerships to achieve the goals. Leonora and Isosceles Pascual founded the company in 1946 to help meet demand for Vitamin C and provide tuberculosis relief in the postwar years. Over the next eight decades, the company expanded its product line to include food supplements, cough remedies and oral care products. As part of the anniversary, PascualLab also donated Ascof Lagundi Ponkan to children in need on behalf of members of the media.
