VANCOUVER, BC / THENEWSWIRE / May 30, 2023 – Element 79 Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM) (OTC:ELMGF) (FSE: 7YS) ("Element 79 Gold", the "Company") announces that, further to its November 17, 2022 release announcing that the Company had entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Valdo LOI”) with Valdo Minerals Ltd. (“Valdo”), the parties have mutually agreed to a 60-day extension to the exclusivity period to enter into a definitive agreement for the sale of three properties from its Battle Mountain Portfolio located in the northeastern Nevada, US.
The other terms of the LOI, as announced by the Company on November 17, 2022, remain unchanged.
Proposed Transaction Highlights

• Valdo to acquire 100% interests and obligation in:
  
  • The North Mill Creek Project - comprised of 6 unpatented claims located at the margins of the Goat Window in Lander County, Nevada, an exposure of lower plate rocks beneath the Roberts Mountains Thrust, the preferred carbonate host of Carlin-type gold deposits.
  • The Elder Creek Project - comprised of 23 unpatented claims, which cover the historic Elder Creek open-pit mine in Lander County, Nevada, hosted in upper plate rocks where the mine area is believed to represent leakage from the deeper lower plate of the Roberts Mountains Thrust.
  • The Elephant Project - comprised of 197 claims located at the foot of the mine dumps at Nevada Gold Mines' Phoenix operation hosting a covered pediment target with various depths of cover based on the displacement of fault blocks.
• Valdo to issue 3,750,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.30 CAD per share representing an aggregate value of CAD 1,125,000.
  
• According to the revised exclusivity period, the transaction is expected to close by July 15, 2023.
  

“As we progressed toward the initial term of the LOI, Valdo expressed a desire for an extension as they finalize their project structuring and capitalization plans,” said James Tworek, Element79 Gold Corp CEO. “Our collaboration with Valdo holds great promise, spurred by their continued interest in how the optioned portfolio synergizes with their other regionally adjacent projects, we are confident that this extension will pave the way for a successful closing and strong Valdo story in the future.”
Element79 Gold’s Battle Mountain Portfolio
The Battle Mountain Portfolio was originally comprised of 15 separate projects totaling over 44,478 acres across 2,203 unpatented claims in five counties: Elko County, Eureka County, Humboldt County, Lander County, and Nye County. Most of the Battle Mountain Portfolio is located within the Battle Mountain Trend, with several projects close to globally reputable gold deposits including Nevada Gold's Cortez Mine.
The Battle Mountain Portfolio is comprised primarily of early-stage projects. While drilling has been completed at some projects, such as Elder Creek (155 holes) and Clover (104 holes), many have only surface sampling and geophysical surveys completed. Of particular note are the Long Peak, Elephant, Elder Creek, North Mill Creek, Clipper, Pipeline South, West Cortez, and Walti Projects, which are interpreted to lie along the northwest trending fault that hosts the high-grade Pipeline deposit, which is included in Nevada Gold's Cortez Mine.

About Element79 Gold
Element79 Gold is a mining company focused on gold, silver and associated metals and committed to maximizing shareholder value through responsible mining practices and sustainable development of its projects. Element79 Gold's main focus is on two core properties: developing its previously-producing, high-grade gold and silver mine, the Lucero project located in Arequipa, Peru, with the intent to bring it back into production in the near term; and its flagship Maverick Springs Project located in the famous gold mining district of northeastern Nevada, USA, between the Elko and White Pine Counties. Maverick Springs hosts a 43-101-compliant, pit-constrained mineral resource estimate reflecting an inferred resource of 3.71 million ounces of gold equivalent "AuEq" at a grade of 0.92 g/t AuEq (0.34 g/t Au and 43.4 g/t Ag) with an effective date of October 19, 2022. The acquisition of the Maverick Springs Project also included a portfolio of 15 properties along the Battle Mountain trend in Nevada, which are non-core to its primary business focus. In British Columbia, Element79 Gold has executed a Letter of Intent and funded a drilling program to acquire a private company that holds the option to 100% interest of the Snowbird High-Grade Gold Project, which consists of 10 mineral claims located in Central British Columbia, approximately 20km west of Fort St. James. The Company also has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Dale Property, 90 unpatented mining claims located approximately 100 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario, Canada in the Timmins Mining Division, Dale Township. The Company is analyzing the non-core Nevada projects, The Dale Property and Snowbird Property for further merit of exploration, sale or spin-out.

I signed a 5 year lease last December for a 1200 sq ft commercial space in San Mateo County to operate as a sandwich shop. My landlord was remodeling the space and still is so giving me 10 months of free rent. So I won't be paying rent until October this year. He is listing the building for sale at end of this month and I found out from his other tenant. Technically I didn't even move in and start my part of the remodeling yet which will cost me another 30k.
What are my options? I'm thinking of pausing the lease and re-negotiating with the new owner. I mean who knows what the new owner wants? Maybe tear down the building and build a hotel? Who knows. I don't feel like I should put anymore money in this space until I'm certain I can still open my shop. What are my rights ? I don't want to pay him rent if the building is still up for sale in October , etc I already paid $5k for architect drawing and I know I'm eating the cost if I'm cancelling the lease.
Please any advice appreciated.

Following on from my 365+ Days of Properties for sale by county thread here
I've been tracking the number of properties available to rent on daft.ie for over a year now and representing that in a bar chart race style visualisation.
This data-driven visualisation unveils the changing dynamics of property listings across different counties over a span of 372 days, from 31st May, 2022, to Wednesday 7th June (today), 2023. I'll continue to track the data for the foreseeable.
It's interesting to note that Dublin has more properties for rent now (700+) than at any other time in the last 372 days. Last year was a real shite bag of a mess with supply.
This doesn't take into account affordability or anything cost of living related, purely the numbers.
​
PLEASE NOTE - some data is missing for a few days and the odd week here or there and is clearly shown in the bar chart race (basically no or little amount of data).
This is all done out of personal interest. Seeking to find a top!

So I upgraded to a 5950x because it was in sale in my country and I went yolo and temps are way higher than usual but that's kind of expected. I have a Nctua NH D15s with one fan and it's giving a fair fight. But my main concern is the red colors in Ryzen master I get just from cinebench r23:
TDC and EDC both were at a 100% and CPU power was hitting 92-100% in Ryzen master and idk if I should be concerned about this. I used to have an R9 3900x and I never saw red numbers once.
Temps were around 71-72 (does get to the 80s when playing cpu heavy games like No Man's Sky)
This is all in stock config. I don't know much about overclocking or undervolting cause I have no idea what I'm doing. But idk if I Should do something about it because those red numbers frighten me.
Computer ks for general use like gaming and streaming.

I've been tracking the number of properties available to buy on daft.ie for over a year now and representing that in a bar chart race style visualisation.
Reason why I started tracking this was to look for increasing numbers of properties coming onto the market to help signal whether we're reaching a top as more sellers come onto the market.
Of course, this could all be total shite but rather than taking a guess I decided to see if I could add some rationale to my guess to signal a temporary peak.

Naturally, Dublin was the county with the most number of properties for sale but other counties seem to fluctuate quite a bit.
I found Fermanagh very interesting in the property numbers for sale. To me, looks like possibly a portfolio was dropped onto the market? Easy to see these when the numbers are so small.
Data points were taken a couple of times a day every day and then averaged.

On June 2, ProPublica published an abbreviation of an interview of former Kimber exec Ryan Busse, who became a Senior Advisor to Giffords in 2021, written by Corey G. Johnson. I will attempt to counter the points and opinions and support in the article. Same disclaimer as before: please forgive my typos and mistakes as I am copying, pasting, and writing on my phone.
I saw the title for this article on my news feed some time on Saturday, and I immediately knew who to expect the interviewee was. I am reminded of a part of a Dave Chappelle skit where he is telling a story of a home invader, and his wife wakes him up in the middle of the night. He is excited thinking he is going to get some, but instead she tells him to go check out the noise in the kitchen. His response is “OOOOOOH, this B[redacted]!!!“ I bring this up because whenever a former executive is speaking in favor of gun control, it will be this guy, and my response is to parrot Chappelle’s exasperation.
To be fair, I think he has valid reason to leave the business of firearm manufacturing is he so wishes. I firmly and ardently believe each person should be able to make personal decisions to determine the course their life takes. What I detest is those who attempt to inflict upon the populace at large their personal beliefs by legislation and threat of legal repercussions, especially when it comes to those rights and liberties protected by the Bill of Rights and obviously outside the scope of the government’s authority.
But I digress.
The tagline for the article indicates there is a “danger of growing radicalization in the [firearm] industry.” I personally believe radicalization and extremism are is every major community; Christian Extremists and Racial Extremists have gotten a lot of publicity in the US of late, Islamic Extremists were a huge focus 10 to 25 years ago between ISIS and Al-Qaeda, and Right-Wing and Left-Wing extremists yell across the aisle at each other in Congress. So I will actually agree there is a radicalization which is happening in our country, but do I agree it is the firearm industry perpetuating it?
Question One “Where are we, as a nation, on guns? And Where do you think we need to go?” Busse’s first response in the piece is stating “we might be on the precipice of things getting much worse,” before pivoting to attack the Bruen decision. He then claims the broad reaching effects of the Bruen decision will be an overturning of “so many counted-upon regulations” which will be akin to an elimination of stop signs, i.e., creating a dangerous environment for everyone around. I admittedly HATE uncontrolled intersections, because of how rarely I interact with them, but I am okay with roundabouts due to my familiarity with them. But honestly, I just treat an uncontrolled intersection as a Yield, and I cross lanes cautiously. I have never been in a car accident, because every other driver I have seen at these uncontrolled intersections also make it a purposeful intention to avoid accidents, and proceed with intentional hesitancy.
It really is that simple. Even without stop signs (or burdensome gun regulations) MOST people will adjust and conduct themselves well. I cannot think of a firearm owner I personally know who does not treat a gun as a potential danger. Just as with fire, water, power tools, a sharp knife, or a car, they are careful in their usage of it to ensure safe outcomes. They follow the rules of firearm safety, and instruct others in the rules as well. Many gun owners can be spotted by holding a power drill with their fingers off the trigger, even. However, there are those who are reckless, impulsive, and dangerous. But these people tend to be whether they are driving a vehicle, shooting off fireworks, or handling a gun. So removal of stop signs, while it would be stressful, would be unlikely to result in mass fatalities, especially if sufficient notice is given and signs of “Change in Traffic Pattern Ahead” are posted.
And the comparison of traffic laws with gun regulation is also apples to oranges. The Bruen decision, in a nutshell, stipulates all gun laws must align with historical tradition, and have a comparable founding analogue. At the time of the founding, there were numerous laws abouts ones conduct with a firearm; it was illegal to terrorize others, murder, rob, or intimidate crowds with firearms. Such was not the behavior of a responsible, respectable member of society. Obeying traffic laws is similar; it is to give guidance to help address public safety and avoid recklessness. However, gun regulations most at risk from the Bruen decision are gun bans, licensing schemes, and usurious tax or insurance requirements. More comparable rules would be akin to an inability to even own a classic car which was legally produced with no seatbelts, or other now standard safety equipment. However, the law does allow us to not only own such vehicles, but even register and drive them on the road, despite laws requiring cars produced since the 60’s to contain seatbelts.
As much as regulation supporters love to compare licensing cars and drivers to firearms, it is a terrible comparison, and not only for the reasons already mentioned. In addition, I can own whatever car I want, and I can drive it, too, while on my own property, or the property of another with their permission. I am only restricted from driving it in public on roads. But gun grabbers want to remove from private citizens the ability to even own firearms, even if they are only used while at home, on a range, or hunting, i.e., with the permission of the property owner.
But, once again, I digress…
To sum up, following the counsel from the Bruen decision will result in the removal and repeal of laws which are onerous to ownership, but will not create a lawless wasteland where people can shoot each other with no legal repercussions.
Question Two: “What do you attribute this trend [of gun ownership and 2A renaissance] to?”
Busse argues gun manufacturers are violating a “fragile social contracted needed to be maintained on something as immensely powerful as the freedom to own guns.” In other words, he believes there needs to be vast restrictions on the “freedom” to own guns. …freedom… restriction… do those two go well together?
ANYWAY! He attributes the change to the advertising practices of gun manufacturers. He states an “unspoken code of conduct” to abstain from “egregiously irresponsible” advertising has ”broken down” in the pursuit of “company growth, above all other things” and “victory [profits] at all cost.” To be Frank (though my name ain’t Frank, Franklin, Francis, Franco, or any derivative), while I have seen a few gun advertisements, they are VERY rare to me. And most entail an over under shotgun while pheasant hunting, or something similar. Otherwise, it would be pictures on firearm discussion boards, half or full-page layouts in a firearms magazine, or a sale section or price update in a Gander Mountain or Cabela’s. Put more simply, most gun advertisements are where I went looking for guns. And I have heard of the Remington “man card” campaign (also mentioned later in the interview), but as much as I enjoyed shooting trap as a child, I never owned a firearm myself until the Pandemic and a societal breakdown was possible. Once again, I didn’t get a firearm until I went intentionally looking for one, even though I played paintball, airsoft, video games, and watched action movies my whole life.

So I've worked at a hospital as a per diem physical therapist for almost four years now. When I got hired my manager was very clear that if I added availability for a shift I would get that shift unless the census was low. I can basically work as much as I want and create my own schedule. I'm unable to work full time because I have another job working for my family business. My mom owns the business and my siblings and I help run it, it has to do with care for the elderly. I started working for the family business about four years ago after I graduated physical therapy school. I make the least out of my 3 other older siblings who have all worked there longer and have more job responsibilities.
This post is about the hospital job. I noticed the dynamic was weird in the department from the very beginning, it can be competitive, clique and there is a lot of shit talking. I basically tried to stay out of it and do a good job at work. I always felt on the outs but was able to make a few friends...
However I recently got promoted to a lead position... On days I'm scheduled as a lead I come in an hour early to make the schedule and leave an hour early. I basically manage all calls coming in to the physical therapy department and I get paid 10% more. There were some full time people who were unhappy I got this opportunity and they didn't. However, those people were mostly either hired after me (lower seniority) or are physical therapy assistants (work under physical therapists).
I noticed a big shift in most of my relationships, the few friends I made faded away. The dynamic in the department became worse shortly after I was promoted when another per diem team member pointed out to the union that per diem workers get to choose the major and minor holidays they work every year according to our contract... Our manager had been breaking this rule for years unbeknownst to m. This employee had apparently read through the contract and brought it up to the union. Now all the full time people hate the per diem staff because they get to choose their holidays, even though I had nothing to do with this. They have said it's not fair we get to make our own schedule, they think we get paid too much, they don't think we should get choice of holidays to work and they don't think we should get to be in lead positions. However, this is standard practice for per diem staff in hospitals (I'm not sure about the lead part, but I know everything else is). My sister works as a per diem nurse at a hospital and said high pay, making your own schedule and choosing holidays are normal since you don't get benefits and most per diems have other jobs which is why the schedules are flexible.
Recently I've been having people make really weird comments towards me. This one girl asked why I work here if I work for my family business. I asked her what she meant and she said don't you own the business and make a lot of money? Without going into it I said no, I actually make more money at the hospital which is the truth and she was very surprised. I'm always pretty hush hush about my family business, I've told people what it is but not the name of it or where it's located. Then she asked what my husband does and I said he's a programmer and she went on to talk about how that job makes so much which is not true... He makes decent money, but $29/hour is not a crazy amount of money for Southern California. I just replied vaguely saying he makes okay money and left. She is also a per diem therapist with lower seniority than me. I have a feeling she would like more shifts, but we're scheduled according to seniority and she's brand new.
Another weird comment... Another girl who I like got really weird when I told her my husband and I were thinking about putting an offer on a house. I was excited and was making conversation which we usually do. She asked how much it was and I said $750,000 because that's the truth and there's no point in lying as housing sales are public record. She could not believe I could afford that and asked me, "How can you possibly afford that"... I changed the subject... She's not married, so maybe she doesn't understand joint income. She also lives in an underpopulated desert area in a different county where the cost of living is less. I live in Los Angeles County near my family and other job and commute to work. Right now in 2023 in Los Angeles county $750,000 for a 3 bedroom 2 bath in a safe neighborhood is average or below average actually according to my google search.
My manager who I loved just left, and one of the full time therapists who doesn't seem to like per diem therapists was hired as manager. I'm worried about the future, but we are bound by a union contract so there aren't a lot of changes that can be made. I heard the new manager got mad about the holiday thing and doesn't want per diems to be lead therapists anymore as a result which is totally unrelated and feels retaliatory. I've noticed more than 50% of the lead therapists are per diem. They all do a great job, maintain a professional attitude and stay out if the drama and cliques. It's a rumor though so we'll see.
I'm not sure what I'm even asking... Feeling isolated and constantly judged, it's been getting to me and this is the first time I've considered leaving this job even though my job pays very well, is flexible, I'm in a lead position and have earned seniority. Does this sound toxic to you guys? Am I missing something?

So a few years ago I posted two stories of things that happened to me in my old job at a grocery store. I promise to post more but two and a half years ago I quit and I kinda just wanted to distance myself from that place but a friend of mine was talking to me the other day and a few stories came up and I felt like it's time to tell them.
Also this is a different kind of entitled parent, you'll see what I mean.
So while working retail you interact with a bunch of different kinds of people, it really gives you a view for the world around you. One of the kinds of people who came into my store were the mentally handicapped. Now there were quite a few who were regulars and we got to know them really well. One was a girl well call K. Now K took a liking to me because one of the first time she came in she was wearing a Yu-Gi-Oh shirt. Now the way I worked was if I saw someone who had a Tshirt of something I had even a remote knowledge of I'd talk to them a bit about it. It showed I actually cared about them as a person which in turn kept them coming back to me. K was a sweetheart who was always shy and nervous around people but would light up the moment you talked to her, her mother on the other hand was the definition of entitled. She'd expect to get last week's sales days after they ended, wanted free reusable bags that cost $2 and always had a list of weird directions that changed every time she came in. This incident was no different
So on this day she came through my line as K had seen me. I talked to K for a min while packing the groceries when her mother shouted a bunch of directions at me. All but one of which are unimportant to the story but they were things like don't put the steak with the ground beef and don't put the soup with the canned vegetable. Kinda weird but I don't get paid to give a damn so I just did what was said. The last of these was to put the eggs between the part of the cart where you'd put a child and the handle bars. Now I know this space is to wide on our carts but when I tried to tell her that I was responded with "you're here to entertain my kids and do as I say" so I just thought screw it not my job if things go wrong. I finish up her order and continue to talk to K as em pays for her stuff and they leave. Not 45 seconds later I hear the sound of a carton of eggs hit the ground and I see Em come storming up to me
Em: my eggs fell cus you didn't put them in correct
Me: I put them in the way you instructed me to
Em: no had you listened to me they wouldn't have fell
Me: I checked with you after I did it to make sure it was how you wanted it
Em: I'm telling you you didn't do it correctly I do this at (a different store) and it never falls
Cashier: there carts are smaller than ours
Em: don't lie to me I know what I'm talking about
At this point K is getting vissably upset and I'm about done with the mom so I go to make sure K's okay
Me: K you okay
K just kept repeating "don't be mad" over and over, to this day kinda breaks my heart a bit
Em: don't bother with her she'll be fine now go get me my eggs
Me: we sent another bagger to get your eggs the moment we heard yours fall they'll be here in a second (this was true)
Em: I need a manager
Little did either me or the Em know a manager was already been called by the cashier as I continue to calm down K insuring her I wasn't mad
Now comes the part that still kinda pisses me off
My manager gets here and even tho I only had 1 store manager I ever liked most of them knew me better than to think I didn't know my job. This lady proceeds to go off about how I'm a terrible employee and that I spent more time talking to her "stupid fucking daughter" than to do my job correctly. Now mock me all you want I'm cool with it better people have called me worse, but to have that level of disrespect to your own child boils my blood. And both my manager and cashier sees me getting upset and both know why. The cashier steps in and says
Cashier: you told him to put your eggs like that
Em: well he didn't warn me
Cashier next to our register: yes he did, he's not a quiet guy I heard him warn you
This goes back and forth for a good 5 mins and the whole time K is freaking out as I'm trying to calm her down and her mother is so in her own head that she doesn't even have the least bit of concern for her own child. The other bagger gets back somewhere in the middle of them all arguing with the eggs and I've completely checked out from the argument as I'm more concerned with K but I see her grab her eggs and walk out of the store....while I'm still sitting next to K
Me: ummmmmm manager wtf are we supposed to do
Manager realizing I'm still sitting with Em's daughter: oh fuck
Me: yeah we've dealt with Code Adam's before but never like this
Manager: she left the parking lot already hasn't she
Me : yup
Manager: take her to the conference room and sit with her till her mom gets back
Now I had two hours till I was going home and the conference room had water so we went and sat in the back. It took 3 and a half hours till she realized she left her child in the store and came and got her. all in all I got 3 and a half hours off my feet and a nice amount of overtime.
Everytime after that when they came in K always asked if I was mad at her and I'd tell her no even tho it broke me a little for her to think I did, and her mom never gave me instructions again and couldn't look me in the eyes. I saw her once since I quit while I was shopping with my fiance in a different store and I gave her a hug and promised her I was never upset with her.

I bought my own home a year ago. It is in a GREAT neighborhood, but was affordable for me because it needed ALOT of work. The first few (5 - 6) months I could not even live in it and had to commute from another city to do any work on it. Trust when I say costs added up quickly, especially in the beginning! I would work at my job all day, then commute to another city, work for a couple hours and drive home. Rinse, repeat. My wonderful father was/ is amazing as he has been here almost every step of the way, hour after hour, helping and guiding as needed.
All work of course is permitted and inspected by the city. Now most of the big jobs are done. I have slowed down quite a bit on working on the house, there is only so long you can go full tilt. All that's left is finishing type work. I am going room by room finishing things off.
The thing about my new home. It's a duplex (freehold - no HOA). The neighbor I have in the other half of the duplex (let's call her Stacy) purchased her home shortly before I purchased mine. When we first met, she was very excited to tell me how she had looked at the home I bought before making her purchase but decided she did not want to do the amount of work involved. My purchase price reflected the work needed. So, she was definitely aware prior to her purchase that in all likelihood someone would buy it and do major renos.
All renos are done evenings & weekends. On a weekend my usual start time is maybe 11 am, dont want to bother neighbors and I'm a night owl. My city bylaws allow construction noise until 10pm, but I stop by 9pm so to not bother anyone too much.
Stacy has been very vocal about her dislike of the noise. I had to turn off all notifications from her due to constant calls and texts. The noise was/ is not daily. Maybe 2 - 4 days a week at max. Not all tasks require power tools or are super noisy.
Stacy has decided to sell her half of the duplex. The for sale sign went up today. There is already interest as it is not often that decent homes come up in this area within this lower price range unless they have monthly HOA fees or condo fees.
I never really felt too bad about Stacy's hate of the noise because she knew what she was purchasing. She knew about the high likelihood of construction noise.
WIBTAH if I let potential buyers know about the ongoing renovations somehow?
I'm not even sure how I would go about it, but I dont want a family with a new baby pulling their hair out even more because they finally get their child to settle at the time when I can work on renos (have limited time between my job and daily activities people need to do to live like laundry and cooking). There are alot of potential reasons why someone may not want to live next to the noise, and I dont want a new neighbor to be unaware with such a large life purchase.
Before anyone asks, no I am not hiring out the rest of the work so it's done quicker. It is within my capabilities, and that is how I am earning equity in the home.
