Prime Minister Hun Sen Shares Message of Economic Growth & COVID Response Success with North American Diaspora

May 12, 2022 by Staff Reporter

During a wide-ranging speech covering domestic and international issues, Prime Minister Hun described how his Government had defeated COVID-19.  “We beat COVID, showing that our healthcare system is strong… Cambodia might be a poor country, but we did not hesitate to make COVID vaccines free for everyone.”

On trade and investment, the Prime Minister told the audience, “This year we anticipate more investment in Cambodia.  The United States remains the top export destination for Cambodia.   And more and more US companies, like Ford, are investing in our country.”

Regarding Cambodia’s ties with China, Prime Minister Hun said, “We don’t choose between the United States and China.  Furthermore, under the Cambodian constitution, no foreign soldiers can be based in our country.  And our Constitution prohibits Cambodian soldiers from joining other countries’ wars.  The only exception is when we send the men and women of our military to join UN peacekeeping missions around the world.  It doesn’t make sense for [Ream] to be a Chinese naval base as the waters are too shallow to receive naval ships.”  He also spoke of how the government is reducing soldier numbers in order to increase healthcare spending. 

On international affairs, the Prime Minister reiterated his support for Ukraine, saying, “If Russia divides Donetsk and Luhansk from Ukraine in the future, we will not recognize that.”

On ASEAN matters, Prime Minister Hun Sen described how his government was working to end violence in Myanmar while encouraging dialogue.

An estimated 300,000 people of Cambodian descent reside in the United States and Canada, with most of the population concentrated in California, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

Prime Minister Hun Sen is visiting Washington, DC for the US-ASEAN Summit, at which ASEAN leaders and President Joe Biden will meet in person for a dialogue on issues of mutual concern, including climate change, economic co-operation and the Russia–Ukraine war.

Biden Co-Hosting 2nd COVID Summit as World’s Resolve Falters – NBC Chicago

May 12, 2022 by Staff Reporter

President Joe Biden will appeal for a renewed international commitment to attacking COVID-19 as he convenes the second global COVID-19 summit at a time when faltering resolve at home jeopardizes that global response.

Eight months after he used the first such summit to announce an ambitious pledge to donate 1.2 billion vaccine doses to the world, the urgency of the U.S. and other nations to respond has waned.

Momentum on vaccinations and treatments has faded even as new, more infectious variants rise and billions across the globe remain unprotected. Congress has refused to meet Biden’s request to provide another $22.5 billion in what he has called critically needed aid funding.

The White House said Biden will address the opening of the virtual summit Thursday morning with prerecorded remarks and will make the case that addressing COVID-19 “must remain an international priority.” The U.S. is co-hosting the summit along with Germany, Indonesia, Senegal and Belize.

The U.S. has shipped nearly 540 million vaccine doses to more than 110 countries and territories, according to the State Department — by far more than any other donor nation.

After the delivery of more than 1 billion vaccines to the developing world, the problem is no longer that there aren’t enough shots, but a lack of logistical support to get doses into arms. According to government data, more than 680 million donated vaccine doses have been left unused in developing countries because they were set to expire soon and couldn’t be administered quickly enough. As of March, 32 poorer countries had used fewer than half of the COVID-19 vaccines they were sent.

U.S. assistance to promote and facilitate vaccinations overseas dried up earlier this year, and Biden has requested about $5 billion for the effort through the rest of the year.

“We have tens of millions of unclaimed doses because countries lack the resources to build out their cold chains, which basically is the refrigeration systems; to fight disinformation; and to hire vaccinators,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said this week. She added that the summit is “going to be an opportunity to elevate the fact that we need additional funding to continue to be a part of this effort around the world.”

“We’re going to continue to fight for more funding here,” Psaki said. “But we will continue to press other countries to do more to help the world make progress as well.”

Congress has balked at the price tag for COVID-19 relief and has thus far refused to take up the package because of political opposition to the impending end of pandemic-era migration restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border. Even after a consensus for virus funding briefly emerged in March, lawmakers decided to strip out the global aid funding and solely focus the assistance on shoring up U.S. supplies of vaccine booster shots and therapeutics.

Biden has warned that without Congress acting, the U.S. could lose out on access to the next generation of vaccines and treatments, and that the nation won’t have enough supply of booster doses or the antiviral drug Paxlovid for later this year. He’s also sounding the alarm that more variants will spring up if the U.S. and the world don’t do more to contain the virus globally.

“To beat the pandemic here, we need to beat it everywhere,” Biden said last September during the first global summit.

The virus has killed more than 1 million people in the U.S. and upwards of 6 million globally, according to NBC News.

The United States has surpassed 1 million COVID-19 deaths according to the latest data compiled by NBC News.

Demand for COVID-19 vaccines has dropped in some countries as infections and deaths have declined globally in recent months, particularly as the omicron variant has proved to be less severe than earlier versions of the disease. For the first time since it was created, the U.N.-backed COVAX effort has “enough supply to enable countries to meet their national vaccination targets,” according to vaccines alliance Gavi CEO Dr. Seth Berkley, which fronts COVAX.

Still, despite more than 65% of the world’s population receiving at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, fewer than 16% of people in poor countries have been immunized. It is highly unlikely countries will hit the World Health Organization target of vaccinating 70% of all people by June.

In countries including Cameroon, Uganda and the Ivory Coast, officials have struggled to get enough refrigerators to transport vaccines, send enough syringes for mass campaigns and get enough health workers to inject the shots. Experts also point out that more than half of the health workers needed to administer the vaccines in poorer countries are either underpaid or not paid at all.

Donating more vaccines, critics say, would miss the point entirely.

“It’s like donating a bunch of fire trucks to countries that are on fire, but they have no water,” said Ritu Sharma, a vice president at the charity CARE, which has helped immunize people in more than 30 countries, including India, South Sudan and Bangladesh.

“We can’t be giving countries all these vaccines but no way to use them,” she said, adding that the same infrastructure that got the shots administered in the U.S. is now needed elsewhere. “We had to tackle this problem in the U.S., so why are we not now using that knowledge to get vaccines into the people who need them most?”

Sharma said greater investment was needed to counter vaccine hesitancy in developing countries where there are entrenched beliefs about the potential dangers of Western-made medicines.

“Leaders must agree to pursue a coherent strategy to end the pandemic instead of a fragmented approach that will extend the lifespan of this crisis,” said Gayle Smith, CEO of The ONE Campaign.

GAVI’s Berkley also said that countries are increasingly asking for the pricier messenger RNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna, which are not as easily available as the AstraZeneca vaccine, which made up the bulk of COVAX’s supply last year.

The emergence of variants like delta and omicron has led many countries to switch to mRNA vaccines, which seem to provide more protection and are in greater demand globally than traditionally made vaccines like AstraZeneca, Novavax or those made by China and Russia.

It is my dream to help create a disease-free world, where we can live well from start to end, and our time spent on this planet is a healthy span that we can enjoy. Anything we can do to push the scientific boundaries and help minimize suffering is a worthwhile endeavor, which is why I’m so pleased to be associated with a company doing just that.”

Dr. Ann Beliën, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Rejuvenate: “This appointment means a lot to me, both personally and professionally: I’ve looked up to Dr. Shetty ever since I first got to know him when I was working at Janssen. That he is now willing to join the company I’ve founded as Chair of our Board is a huge honor, and also a validation that we are doing good work at Rejuvenate. Dr. Shetty is extremely well connected in the life sciences industry and will help open doors for us both in Belgium and abroad, helping to foster our international ambitions.

Lindsey Graham said Joe Biden is ‘best person’ to lead US, tapes reveal | Joe Biden

May 11, 2022 by Staff Reporter

Democrat Joe Biden is “the best person” to lead the US, the Republican senator and fervent Donald Trump supporter Lindsey Graham said in tapes released on Monday by the authors of a bestselling political book.

The South Carolina senator was speaking on and shortly after 6 January 2021 to Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns, now authors of This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America’s Future.

On 6 January 2021, shortly before the US Capitol was attacked, Trump told supporters to “fight like hell” in service of his lie that his defeat by Biden in the 2020 election was caused by voter fraud.

A bipartisan Senate committee has linked seven deaths to the riot that followed, an unsuccessful attempt to stop certification of electoral college results.

“Moments like this reset,” Graham said that day, in a tape played on CNN on Tuesday.

“People will calm down. People will say, ‘I don’t want to be associated with that.’ This is a group within a group. What this does, there will be a rallying effect for a while, [then] the country says ‘We’re better than this.’”

Asked if Biden could help the country come together again, Graham said: “Totally.”

“He’ll maybe be the best person to have. I mean, how mad can you get at Joe Biden?”

In the year and a half since the Capitol riot, much of the country, and most Republicans, have stayed mad at Biden. The president’s approval numbers continue to plumb depths similar to those charted by Trump while he was in office.

Biden is reportedly mad at Graham, a longtime associate in the Senate who despite saying he was “out” of Trump’s camp immediately after the January 6 riot, soon returned to the fold.

In other taped remarks played by Martin and Burns, Graham said Trump “misjudged the passion” of his supporters.

“He plays the TV game and he went too far here,” the senator was heard to say. “That rally didn’t help, talking about primarying” the Wyoming representative Liz Cheney, a member of the House January 6 committee.

“He created a sense of revenge.”

Trump remains the dominant force in the Republican party, endorsing candidates in primaries and seemingly readying another run for the presidency in 2024.

A spokesperson for Graham told CNN: “The Joe Biden we see as president is not the one we saw in the Senate. He’s pursued a far-left agenda as president.”

GoGold Releases 2022 Q2 Financial Results

May 11, 2022 by Staff Reporter

Shares Outstanding: 295,258,056
Trading Symbols:  TSX: GGD
OTCQX: GLGDF­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

HALIFAX, NS, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) (“GoGold”, “the Company”) is pleased to announce the financial results for the second fiscal quarter of 2022, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 where Parral generated $10.3 million in revenue (all amounts are in U.S. dollars) from the sale of 443,942  silver equivalent ounces.

“In the quarter, we continued to focus on our Los Ricos project as we continue to advance our second 100,000 metre drill program,” said Brad Langille, President and CEO.  “Parral continues to produce for us, providing meaningful cash flow contributing to the general and administrative costs and the Los Ricos exploration budget.  The cash flow generated at Parral increased by over $1 million from the December quarter as we completed the transition between tailings zones at the project.”

During the quarter Parral generated free cash of $4.4 million before working capital changes.  Silver equivalent ounces sold increased by 11% compared to the December quarter end.  Production is lower compared to the prior year as the project transitioned to a different zone in the tailings deposit which temporarily affected the leaching of pad kinetics.  Stacking of recoverable ounces on the heap leach pad exceeded production by 18%, which resulted in a cash investment of $3.1 million associated with the increase in heap inventory.  The Corporation is expected to benefit from production from these stacked ounces in future quarters.

Highlights for the quarter ending March 31, 2022:

  • Revenue of $10.3 million on the sale of 443,942 silver equivalent ounces at a realized price per ounce of $23.28 per oz
  • Cash of $83.3 million USD
  • Production of 455,991 silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 186,655 silver ounces, 2,791 gold ounces, and 125 copper tonnes
  • Completed bought deal financing for net proceeds of $33.4 million on the sale of 16.1 million common shares at a price of $2.85 CAD per share

At Los Ricos, the Company drilled 21,052 metres on the projects for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to 22,045 metres in the quarter ending March 31, 2021.  The Company capitalized $6.1 million to the projects for drilling, exploration and consulting for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $5.6 million in the prior year. This included $4.0 million at Los Ricos North and $2.1 million at Los Ricos South.  The Corporation is undergoing a 100,000 metre drilling campaign at Los Ricos North in 2022 with the focus on increasing ounces in Mineral Resource Estimates.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT:

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy of any of GoGold’s securities in the United States.

This news release may contain “forward-looking information” as defined in applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements other than statements of historical fact, included in this release, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Parral tailings project, the Los Ricos project, future operating margins, future production and processing, and future plans and objectives of GoGold, constitute forward looking information that involve various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking information is based on a number of factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such information but which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions in connection with the continuance of GoGold and its subsidiaries as a going concern, general economic and market conditions, mineral prices, the accuracy of mineral resource estimates, and the performance of the Parral project There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from GoGold’s expectations include exploration and development risks associated with the GoGold’s projects, the failure to establish estimated mineral resources or mineral reserves, volatility of commodity prices, variations of recovery rates, the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and global economic conditions. For additional information with respect to risk factors applicable to GoGold, reference should be made to GoGold’s continuous disclosure materials filed from time to time with securities regulators, including, but not limited to, GoGold’s Annual Information Form. The forward-looking information contained in this release is made as of the date of this release.

Cautionary non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures

Note that for purposes of this section, GAAP refers to IFRS. The Company believes that investors use certain non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures as indicators to assess mining companies. They are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. Non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Additional GAAP measures that are presented on the face of the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income include “Operating income (loss)”. These measures are intended to provide an indication of the Company’s mine and operating performance. “Cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital” is a non-GAAP performance measure that could provide an indication of the Company’s ability to generate cash flows from operations, and is calculated by adding back the change in non-cash working capital to “Net cash used in operating activities” as presented on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. Per ounce measures are calculated by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs and total costs by the tonnes of ore processed in the period. “Cash costs per ounce” and “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” as used in this analysis are non-GAAP terms typically used by mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. These non-GAAP terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some variation in the method of computation of these metrics as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, “cash costs per ounce” reflects the cash operating costs allocated from in-process and dore inventory associated with ounces of silver and gold sold in the period. “Cash costs per ounce” may vary from one period to another due to operating efficiencies, grade of material processed and silver/gold recovery rates in the period. “All-in sustaining costs per ounce” include total cash costs, exploration, corporate and administrative, share based compensation and sustaining capital costs. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP measures, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis dated February 8, 2022 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, as presented on SEDAR.

US Government To Discuss UFOs Next Week

May 10, 2022 by Staff Reporter

The United States House of Representatives will hold a hearing next week to discuss “unidentified aerial vehicles,” but don’t expect the government to tell us aliens are real just yet.

According to The New York Times, the hearing will include testimony from defense intelligence officials. It will dig into the June 2021 report on “unidentified aerial phenomena” that included information on 144 such incidents beginning in 2004. The government said it could only explain and identify one such incident.

The report said the majority of the phenomena were indeed “physical objects,” but it could not explain most of them. That said, the government did assert that these were not secret US technology.

Andre Carson (D-Indiana) is the chairman of the House committee holding the hearing, and he said it is all about “examining steps that the Pentagon can take to reduce the stigma surrounding reporting by military pilots, and by civilian pilots.”

US representative Adam B. Schiff (D-California) said the hearing is being held to help shine a light on “one of the great mysteries of our time and to break the cycle of excessing secrecy and speculation with truth and transparency.”

Deputy director of naval intelligence Scott W. Bray and under secretary for intelligence and security Ronald S. Moultrie will provide testimony at the hearing, which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 17.

Next week’s hearing will be the first open meeting pertaining to UFOs since 1970. This was when then-president Gerald Ford ordered a hearing to discuss reported UFO sightings by more than 40 people.

In 2021, 60 Minutes aired in in-depth segment featuring new footage of unknown objects flying through the air that could not be explained. Lieutenant Ryan Graves told CBS that US pilots training off the Atlantic coast saw these objects every day for a couple years.

In 2020, the Pentagon declassified multiple videos recorded by Navy pilots that showed aerial phenomena that could not be explained. More recently, Barack Obama said that, upon becoming 44th President of the United States, he asked people in the know if the US had a secret lab holding alien specimens. But he was told there wasn’t.

“The truth is, when I came into office, I asked, ‘Is there a lab somewhere where we’re keeping the alien specimens…?’ They did a little bit of research and the answer was no,” he said.

Former Blink 182 member Tom Delonge and his company To The Stars has been one of the key players in the recent acknowledgements by the US government that it has observed objects that cannot be explained.

Tech stock rout sees Tiger Global lose $17bn

May 10, 2022 by Staff Reporter

The hedge fund Tiger Global has lost roughly two-thirds of the cumulative gains it has made for investors since its inception in 2001, according to data from an investor that tracks the industry.

LCH Investments estimates Tiger Global has lost about $17bn this year. Heading into 2022, Tiger Global had made net gains of $25bn, according to LCH, which operates a fund of hedge funds and tracks the top 20 hedge fund managers annually. Tiger Global lost $1.5bn last year.

The estimates were first reported by the Financial Times.

READ Market crash gives crypto its biggest test as 40% of bitcoin investors are now ‘under water’

Tiger Global’s top investments at the end of last year were JD.com, Microsoft, Sea Ltd, Nu Holdings and Snowflake, according to its 13-F filing at the Securities and Exchange Commission. All of those stocks have dropped at least 21%, with the Singapore tech company Sea skidding 71% in 2022.

Tiger Global was founded by Chase Coleman, one of the Tiger cubs who worked at Julian Robertson’s Tiger Management.

Bill Hwang is the most notorious of the Tiger cubs, having been charged by the Justice Department with fraud over his leveraged investments that blew up his family office Archegos Capital Management.

Politics Podcast: Why Biden Has Lost Ground With Democratic Voters

May 9, 2022 by Staff Reporter

Nationally, a large majority of Americans support legal abortion in at least some cases, but the politics of abortion are likely to play out on the state level if Roe v. Wade is overturned. In this installment of the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, the crew discusses the various types of legislation different states may adopt and how those policies jibe with local public opinion. They also discuss recent polling showing that President Biden has disproportionately lost support among traditionally Democratic voting groups, such as young people and Black and Hispanic people.
