Latest data could extend Kun-Manie by 18 months - Amur (AMC.L) CEO: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 2 Jun 2016
Amur Minerals Corporation’s (LON:AMC) chief executive, Robin Young, says the company may be able to increase the mine life of its Kun-Manie nickel/ copper prospect by 18 months after in-fill drilling tests showed the high grade area extends further than previously thought.

“We’re very encouraged that this is just an add-on to the project,” says Young, adding that “just doing some simple maths, we may have added 18 months of reserve to this.”

He tells Proactive Investors that the extension of the high grade area and longer mine life presents the firm, and investors, with “much more of an upside potential.”

Young says that the drill programme is a month ahead of schedule and will likely finish towards the end of September although he added that Amur is going to “continue turning the drills as long as [it] possibly can."

#UK - Air Partner PLC (LON:AIR) flying high in tough private jet sector, says chief: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 2 Jun 2016
Chartered commercial and private aircraft specialist, Air Partner PLC (LON:AIR), is bucking the trend and growing in the luxury air travel market, says chief executive Mark Briffa.

“If you look at the private jet space today, a lot of the numbers coming out are pretty much saying that it’s flat or it’s not growing,” says Briffa, adding “that’s not where we are”.

Briffa also explained the reasoning behind the company’s latest acquisition, Baines Simmons, an aviation safety consultancy it acquired last summer for £6mln.

“We felt it’s a space…where we see a growing market not crowded with competition, but fundamentally for us as well it’s all around adding more value to the customer.”

Briffa adds that Air Partner is always on the lookout for further acquisitions, but stresses that it must be the “right opportunity”.

Jay Z Responds To Pundit Tomi Lahren On 'Drug Dealers Anonymous': Newsy

Published on 1 Jun 2016
Jay Z likes to address his critics on the record — literally.

In May, he used a verse to respond to infidelity rumors juiced by his wife Beyoncé's album "Lemonade."

On Tuesday night, the 46-year-old, born Shawn Carter, used his verse on Pusha T's new song "Drug Dealers Anonymous" to address another critic: conservative pundit Tomi Lahren.

Lahren criticized Beyoncé in February for her Black Panther-themed Super Bowl performance. The internet host also brought up Carter's well-documented past as a drug trafficker to question his wife's Black Lives Matter message.

Lahren said: "Your husband was a drug dealer. For 14 years, he sold crack cocaine. Talk about protecting black neighborhoods. Start at home."

Jay Z pulled no punches with his response. He sampled Lahren's critique at the beginning of his verse to make it clear who his rhymes were aimed at.

"For 14 years he sold crack cocaine," Lahren's voice echoes before Carter begins rapping: "Fourteen-year drug dealer and still counting, who deserves the medal of freedom is my accountant. He's been hula-hooping through loopholes, working around s***. IRS should've had the townhouses surrounded. ... Thanks to the lawyers."

Carter has spoken with little shame about his drug-dealing past since his first album debuted in 1996.

His response to Lahren didn't just confirm her accusation; it implied that he's still finding ways to profit from the drug money that was reportedly used to launch his music career.

Lahren, not one to back down, replied Wednesday morning with a tweet referencing Carter's 2003 hit "99 Problems." She tweeted, "I've got 99 problems but trust me, being on your rap ain't one."

Carter appears carefree about both his past life and his present conflict with Lahren. The rapper closed his verse with a Snapchat-inspired joke about the drug raids he once feared: "Damn, Daniel. FBI keeps bringing them all-white vans through."

He can afford to have a cavalier attitude about his former activities, as the statute of limitations has likely passed.

And in 2015, President Barack Obama shared plans to significantly change how the justice system handles drug offenders.

"For nonviolent drug crimes, we need to lower long mandatory sentences or get rid of them entirely," Obama said last July. Through May, the president commuted the sentences of 306 prisoners, many of whom were charged in connection with the distribution of crack cocaine.

#Somalia - Terror Attack On Hotel In Mogadishu Kills At Least 10, Injures Dozens: Newsy

Published on 1 Jun 2016
At least 10 people were killed and more than 40 were injured Wednesday after gunmen and a suicide bomber attacked a popular hotel in Somalia's capital of Mogadishu. Officials say the death toll will likely increase.

Somali special forces intervened, but it’s unclear if there are any attackers still in the hotel. Two of those killed were prominent Somali lawmakers.

Al-Qaeda-affiliated group Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack. Al-Shabab has carried out several deadly attacks across eastern Africa, including an attack on a Kenyan university in 2015 that killed 147 people.

The attack comes on the heels of a U.S. Department of Defense announcement that a recent airstrike targeted senior Al-Shabab commander Abdullahi Haji Daud.

While he didn’t confirm Daud's death, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said the strike "will disrupt near-term attack planning, potentially saving many innocent lives."

Immuno-oncology a “logical step” for Nanobiotix, says chief: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 1 Jun 2016
Laurent Levy, chief executive of Nanobiotix SA (EPA:NANO), says branching out into immuno-oncology is a “very logical step” in the development of NBTXR3.

In layman’s terms, Nanobiotix’s nano-particles may have the ability to turn a cold tumour ‘hot’, triggering immunogenic cell death.

The company’s radical new approach to radiotherapy, is unearthing some of the most promising new treatments for the killer disease, using the body’s own immune system to attack tumours and mutated cells.
“We see that radiotherapy is taking more and more space into the immuno-oncology field, so that is why we have started to see if NBTXR3 could bring something else, and that’s what we think we have done,” he says.
