/ Key Highlights

• Engineers are leveraging 3^rd Gen AMD EPYC processors to slash Ansys simulation design time and expedite new product development
• The processor will be integrated into one of the world’s fastest exascale supercomputers

AMD and Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) are collaborating to help engineering organizations across every industry spur new product design by substantially improving modeling run times. Data centers powered by 3^rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors are enabling engineers to produce superior designs with unprecedented speed — delivering high quality products to rapidly address new market opportunities.

Engineers face increasing pressure to complete design cycle times sooner. However, a large portion of engineering simulations require overnight runs. The rising complexity of these simulation workloads increases the need for high-performance computing (HPC) resources, which increasingly rely on more performant parallel processing and processor architecture capabilities. Through internal testing, AMD demonstrated that its new EPYC 75F3 processors could reduce specific Ansys simulation runtimes by up to a factor of two¹.

From improving the energy efficiency of gas turbines with Ansys’s computational fluid dynamics software to enhancing automotive safety with Ansys’s explicit dynamics software, AMD EPYC processors empower engineering teams to execute extreme scaling of computationally demanding applications and rapidly design leading-edge products. It is expected that Ansys simulations will soon run even faster with the upcoming U.S. Department of Energy’s exascale supercomputers, which will be built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and used by Frontier at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and El Capitan at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, integrating AMD EPYC processors to produce high-fidelity models. This will supply engineers with insights into how products like autonomous vehicles, aircraft and medical devices will virtually behave across millions of real-world operational scenarios.

“3^rd Gen AMD EPYC processors provide leadership performance for HPC workloads and we’re incredibly excited to collaborate with HPE and Ansys to enable the HPC industry to run a fantastic combination of HPC, server infrastructure and simulation software to push the design envelope further than before,” said Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general manager, Data Center and Embedded Solutions Business Group at AMD. “Working together, AMD and its technology partners are helping to drive HPC to new heights that will help tackle problems that have previously been beyond humanity’s reach.”

Modeling at exascale will empower engineers to analyze considerably more data in less time and solve extremely sophisticated design challenges.

“HPC and AI workloads are becoming more compute and data-intensive, requiring higher performance and specialized capabilities,” said Bill Mannel, vice president and general manager of HPC at HPE. “By combining Ansys’ software capabilities to target simulation goals with AMD’s powerful generation of EPYC processors, HPE is further optimizing systems to support business and research missions to improve accuracy in simulations and advance designs and models.”

AMD EPYC processors’ technological advancements enable engineering organizations of all sizes to solve demanding simulation workloads.

“AMD EPYC 7003 Series processors are helping Ansys customers provide improved time to value, enabling the quick creation of state-of-the-art designs that deliver fast answers and drive better decisions,” said Shane Emswiler, senior vice president at Ansys. “We look forward to future collaborations with AMD, which will explore how Ansys’s comprehensive suite of simulation solutions can be accelerated using new AMD EPYC processor technologies. This will empower engineering teams to accelerate innovation throughout their enterprise to build next-generation products and win the race to market.”

On April 20^th and 21^st, HPE and AMD will present “The Supercomputer Comes to Everyone: Leveraging Exascale Era Technology in Today’s Computing Environment” at Simulation World 2021. The presentation will be available live and on demand. To register for Simulation World, please visit: https://www.simulationworld.com/.

VANCOUVER, BC, April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEE) (OTC Nasdaq Intl.: NHVCF) (the “Company” or “Northern Vertex”) announces production of 9,912 gold equivalent ounces for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from the Company’s 100% owned Moss Gold Mine in Mohave County, NW Arizona.  The Moss Mine is the largest precious metals mine in Arizona, and the Company also explores the district scale Hercules Gold Project in Nevada.

Gold equivalent production is calculated based on a budgeted gold:silver ratio of 75:1, and all figures are US dollars unless otherwise noted.

Highlights for the quarter ending March 31, 2021:

• Gold equivalent production of 9,912 ounces
• Gold production 8,787 ounces
• Silver production of 84,382 ounces
• $13.8 million cash on hand at quarter end
• Completion of 49,784 ft (15,174 m) of infill and near-mine exploration drilling

Michael G Allen, President commented, “Production from the West Pit continues to improve as we have now developed large production benches, which allows for maximum mining efficiency.  The initial stripping to expose the Moss Vein in the West pit is largely complete. Although forecast grades and production will be lower in 2021 versus 2020, the current infill drilling program has identified numerous areas where additional drilling could improve the resource model and ultimately the mine.  We are very excited about our evolving knowledge of the mineralization of the Moss Mine and believe that there are substantial opportunities to improve and expand the operation.”

Mine Plan Sequencing from Center Pit to East and West Pits

During the quarter, mining operations fully migrated from Center pit operations to mining in the East and West Pits. The West Pit is now fully developed to support the use of large mining equipment, which allows for more efficiency and lower unit costs.  While the modelled measured grades in the West Pit are lower than that of the Center Pit, an examination of the December 31, 2019 Mineral Resource has identified opportunities for improvement of the model through increased drilling. The Company is assessing the viability of additional drilling in this area to improve the model. 

Infill and Exploration Drilling

A total of 49,784 feet (15,174 m) of infill and near-mine drilling was conducted during the quarter as part of the Company’s ongoing exploration drilling program in an around the Moss mine.  One diamond core and two Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rigs were used, with an approximate 60:40 RC to diamond core ratio.  Approximately 50% of the drilling was focused on infill drilling of the Ruth and Moss veins, specifically targeting the intersection of these two veins below the Center and East pits.  Thirty percent of the drilling targeted the extension of the Moss vein to the east of the East pit and approximately 20% targeted vein stockwork in the planned West pit.  Near-mine and exploration drilling is expected to continue beneath the Center, East, and West pits in Q2/21. Drill results will be released upon receipt of representative batches of assay data. 

Leach Pad Expansion

During the quarter, the construction of Leach Pad 3a was well progressed with earthworks being 65% complete, and overall project advancement being 40% complete at March 31.  Pad 3a is expected to be ready to receive crushed ore in Q2 2021. 

Condemnation drilling, using a combination of percussion and RC drilling, is planned for the Pad 3b footprint.

Cash Position

The Company’s cash position is $13.8 million at March 31, 2021

Final Days on Earth with Claire St. Amant is an investigative podcast franchise from Cold Case Productions. Each season examines mysterious deaths that have elements of an accident, murder, or suicide – and sometimes all three. On Season 1: The Life and Death of Dammion Heard, experienced crime producer St. Amant investigates the baffling disappearance and mysterious death of Texas state champion wrestler Dammion Heard. Dammion was a college freshman at Western Colorado University in Gunnison, Colorado when he disappeared after a party with his wrestling teammates in March of 2014. 

In this 12-part season, St. Amant’s thorough reporting gives listeners a front row seat to a compelling case where nothing is as simple as it seems. The podcast utilizes 47 different police interviews with witnesses from the party and Dammion’s friends in 2014, as well as over 30 original interviews St. Amant conducted from 2019 to 2021. In the end, the audience will have all the tools they need to reach their own conclusion about what happened to Dammion Heard, and who – if anyone – is responsible for his death.

“PodcastOne is excited to add Final Days on Earth, and the compelling story of Dammion Heard told in season one, to our growing slate of true crime podcasts. Claire’s background in investigative journalism and her ability to uncover new and key elements in this case was extraordinary, and I cannot wait for audiences to be able to hear this podcast,” said Kit Gray, President of PodcastOne.

“As I dug into Dammion’s case, I couldn’t believe how many twists and turns it took,” St. Amant said. “Thanks to the new witnesses and information I’ve found, I believe Dammion’s friends and family are closer than ever to the answers they have been looking for since his untimely death over seven years ago.” 

Final Days on Earth is the first podcast developed by Cold Case Productions, an independent media company co-founded by Sharon Richards and St. Amant, who is the writer, producer and host of Final Days on Earth. She has been working the case since 2014, dating back to her days in local media, when Dammion’s story first broke. Richards, an experienced talent acquisition executive, is the co-executive producer of the podcast. Veteran news producer Lucy L. Scott is the editorial consultant for Season 1. Original theme music is composed and performed by Riley Simmons.

SHANGHAI, April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today announced that the company is now supporting an expanded roster of Ford Motor Company all-wheel-drive vehicle programs from its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Chongqing, China.

Dana recently began producing its award-winning Spicer AdvanTEK Ultra™ axles with Spicer SmartConnect™ disconnecting all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems for the Ford^® Escape^®, Lincoln^® Nautilus^®, and Lincoln^® Corsair^®.  Dana’s operations in Chongqing have been supplying Spicer AdvanTEK Ultra rear-drive units for the Ford^® Edge^® program in Asia-Pacific since the 2019 model year.

The drive units take advantage of Dana’s ultra-efficient Spicer^® AdvanTEK^® axle technology, which delivers best-in-class efficiency by reducing oil churning along with gear and bearing friction. It was honored with a 2019 Automotive News PACE Award, which serves as a benchmark for innovation and recognizes automotive suppliers for technical advancement, innovation, and dedication to excellence. When the axle is configured with Spicer SmartConnect disconnecting AWD technology, the combined system enables manufacturers to deliver maximum fuel efficiency for their customers.

“Advanced drive technologies are enabling impressive gains in performance, fuel efficiency, and ride and handling for today’s vehicles,” said Bob Pyle, executive vice president of Dana and president of Dana Light Vehicle Driveline Systems. “The expansion of Dana’s support for Ford demonstrates our unwavering commitment to innovation as well as our strong and growing collaboration with customers in China and the entire Asia-Pacific region.”

Spicer AdvanTEK Ultra™ Axle
Engineered for vans, crossovers, SUVs, and other light vehicles, the Spicer AdvanTEK Ultra axle delivers best-in-class fuel efficiency across all torques, speeds, and temperatures without tradeoffs for durability or comfort.  It leverages ultra-low viscosity lubricants while maintaining gear durability and life to achieve up to a 45-percent reduction in energy loss compared with a typical axle.

Axles are traditionally designed to durability specifications, which is followed by engineers calculating the thinnest oil that may be used without sacrificing component life. Dana engineers reversed the process for the Spicer AdvanTEK Ultra axle by first defining the specifications for an ideal ultra-low viscosity lubricant, and then designing compatible gears and bearings that take full advantage of the lubricant without sacrificing durability and noise, vibration, and harshness performance.

The Spicer AdvanTEK Ultra axle serves as a launchpad for future applications, including supplementing hybrid vehicles as automakers transition into electrification.

Spicer SmartConnect™ Disconnecting AWD System
Spicer SmartConnect technology helps global automotive manufacturers address evolving emissions regulations while maintaining the safety and control that are key advantages of AWD systems on SUVs, crossovers, and other light vehicles.  Vehicles with disconnecting AWD systems are designed to automatically and seamlessly transition to AWD when the system predicts or detects slipping at the wheels, such as during rapid acceleration or in icy and other low-traction conditions.

The Spicer SmartConnect system configures the drivetrain to work in front-wheel-drive mode for the majority of driving conditions and engages AWD only when needed, enabling improved fuel efficiency.

Visit Dana at Auto Shanghai 2021
Dana is exhibiting the Spicer AdvanTEK Ultra axle with the Spicer SmartConnect disconnecting AWD system as well as company’s wide and growing portfolio of high-efficiency drive systems and thermal-management technologies for conventional and electric vehicles at Auto Shanghai in hall 2.2H, stand 6BF111 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center.

About Dana Incorporated

Dana is a leader in the design and manufacture of highly efficient propulsion and energy-management solutions for all mobility markets across the globe. The company’s conventional and clean-energy solutions support nearly every vehicle manufacturer with drive and motion systems; electrodynamic technologies, including software and controls; and thermal, sealing, and digital solutions.

Based in Maumee, Ohio, USA, the company reported sales of $7.1 billion in 2020 with 38,000 associates in 33 countries across six continents.  Founded in 1904, Dana was named one of “America’s Most Responsible Companies 2021” by Newsweek for its emphasis on sustainability and social responsibility. The company is driven by a high-performance culture that focuses on its people, which has earned it global recognition as a top employer, including “World’s Best Employer” from Forbes magazine.  Learn more at dana.com.
