AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com (the “Company”), a leading online platform to play the lottery from a mobile device, recently announced its first million-dollar prize winner. The player won a $1 million prize by matching five numbers in the January 13^th Powerball drawing.

The win took place amid the lottery jackpot fever still sweeping the nation as the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots continue to climb to nearly $1 billion each. While ticket sales historically increase in conjunction with high jackpots, Lottery.com has seen ticket sales spike more than 300% from only last month. Playing the lottery and other online games from the safety of one’s home has become an important bit of respite for many players during COVID-19.

“I’m delighted to celebrate our first seven-figure winner,” said Lottery.com CEO Tony DiMatteo. “It’s really gratifying to be a part of the excitement surrounding the large Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots during what has been a really stressful time for a lot of people, and we’re excited to see how much our users will take home in prize money.”

In addition to the $1 million win, Lottery.com users have raked in an additional $155,000 in prize money in January alone. Users on the platform keep 100% of their winnings.

Lottery.com recently announced that Colorado is the latest state for its web and mobile users to play their favorite lottery games online. Lottery.com also continues to expand its services across the U.S., allowing users to play from the comfort of their own homes as lotto fever progresses.

On November 19, 2020, Lottery.com announced a binding letter of intent to combine with Trident Acquisitions Corp. (NASDAQ: TDACU, TDAC, TDACW), which would make Lottery.com a publicly traded company on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:SYH) (OTCQB:SYHBF) (Frankfurt: SC1P) (the “Company”) partner company Azincourt Energy Corp. (“Azincourt”) is pleased to provide an update on preparations for the 2021 winter exploration program at the East Preston uranium project, located in the western Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Results from the 2020 HLEM survey have been received and drill target prioritization is now underway, based on the compilation of results from the 2019 and 2020 drill programs and 2018 through 2020 ground-based EM and gravity surveys, and property wide VTEM and magnetic surveys.

An exploration program of a minimum of $1M will focus on the central portion of the East Preston property. Permits are in place to allow the commencement of an approximately 2,000-2,500 metre drill program consisting of up to 10 to 12 holes testing targets extending south from the A Zone into the G1, G2 and G3 target areas. Drilling in the A zone suggests this structural corridor hosts significant graphitic packages within strongly sheared and faulted host lithologies, indicating an environment conducive to fluid movement and uranium deposition.

“East Preston has an abundance of untested conductive packages and compelling drill targets,” said Azincourt’s Exploration Manager, Trevor Perkins. “We are eager to continue evaluating these conductive packages, focusing on the most responsive areas, and advancing the East Preston Project,” continued Mr. Perkins.

“We’re pleased to get the 2021 drill program underway,” said president and CEO of Azincourt, Alex Klenman. “East Preston has had only 12 holes drilled to date, and these early results confirm we have the right basement unconformity uranium setting with the right rocks, structure and alteration. We’re still very early in the exploration phase, and with the recent geophysics program adding significantly to the drill target inventory we’re confident we’re on the path to discovery. We’re looking forward to continuing the development of East Preston,” commented Mr. Klenman.

Crews are currently preparing roads into the proposed drilling areas. Drill pad locations are currently being firmed up and will be announced closer to the drill commencement. TerraLogic Exploration and Bryson Drilling have both once again been contracted to execute the on-site drilling, which is being conducted under the guidance and supervision of Azincourt’s Exploration Manager, Trevor Perkins, P.Geo, and Jarrod Brown, M.Sc., P.Geo, Chief Geologist and Project Manager with TerraLogic Exploration.

About East Preston:

Skyharbour and Dixie Gold Inc. (“Dixie Gold”) entered into an Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Azincourt whereby Azincourt has an earn-in option to acquire a 70% working interest in a portion of the Preston Uranium Project known as the East Preston Property. Under the Agreement, Azincourt has issued common shares and will contribute cash and exploration expenditure consideration totaling up to CAD $3,500,000 in exchange for up to 70% of the applicable property area over three years. Of the $3,500,000 in project consideration, $1,000,000 will be in cash payments to Skyharbour and Dixie Gold, as well as $2,500,000 in exploration expenditures over the three-year period. Skyharbour and Dixie Gold agreed to extend the deadline for the remaining obligations owing to complete the acquisition of a 70% interest in the Project, which include incurring a small portion of the exploration expenditures remaining on the Project and completion of a final cash payment of CAD $400,000 (see News Release dated April 16, 2020). The deadline for these obligations has been extended through until March 31^st, 2021 and in consideration for the extension, Azincourt issued common shares to Skyharbour and Dixie Gold.

Three prospective conductive, low magnetic signature corridors have been discovered on the property. The three distinct corridors have a total strike length of over 25 km, each with multiple EM conductor trends identified. Ground prospecting and sampling work completed to date has identified outcrop, soil, biogeochemical and radon anomalies, which are key pathfinder elements for unconformity uranium deposit discovery.

The East Preston Project has multiple long linear conductors with flexural changes in orientation and offset breaks in the vicinity of interpreted fault lineaments – classic targets for basement-hosted unconformity uranium deposits. These are not just simple basement conductors; they are clearly upgraded/enhanced prospectivity targets because of the structural complexity. The targets are basement-hosted unconformity related uranium deposits similar to NexGen’s Arrow deposit and Cameco’s Eagle Point mine. East Preston is near the southern edge of the western Athabasca Basin, where targets are in a near surface environment without Athabasca sandstone cover; therefore, they are relatively shallow targets but can have great depth extent when discovered.  The project ground is located along a parallel conductive trend between the PLS-Arrow trend and Cameco’s Centennial deposit (Virgin River-Dufferin Lake trend).

Qualified Person:

The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Richard Kusmirski, P.Geo., M.Sc., Skyharbour’s Head Technical Advisor and a Director, as well as a Qualified Person. 

About Skyharbour Resources Ltd.:

Skyharbour holds an extensive portfolio of uranium and thorium exploration projects in Canada’s Athabasca Basin and is well positioned to benefit from improving uranium market fundamentals with six drill-ready projects. Skyharbour has acquired from Denison Mines, a large strategic shareholder of the Company, a 100% interest in the Moore Uranium Project which is located 15 kilometres east of Denison’s Wheeler River project and 39 kilometres south of Cameco’s McArthur River uranium mine. Moore is an advanced stage uranium exploration property with high grade uranium mineralization at the Maverick Zone that returned drill results of up to 6.0% U₃O₈ over 5.9 metres including 20.8% U₃O₈ over 1.5 metres at a vertical depth of 265 metres.

Skyharbour has option agreements with Orano Canada Inc. and Azincourt Energy whereby Orano and Azincourt can earn in up to 70% of the Preston and East Preston Projects, respectively, through a combined $9,800,000 in total exploration expenditures, as well as $1,700,000 in total cash payments and Azincourt shares. Preston and Preston East are large, geologically prospective properties proximal to Fission Uranium’s Triple R deposit as well as NexGen Energy’s Arrow deposit.

The Company owns a 100% interest in the South Falcon Uranium Project on the eastern perimeter of the Basin which contains a NI 43-101 inferred resource totaling 7.0 million pounds of U₃O₈ at 0.03% and 5.3 million pounds of ThO₂ at 0.023%. Skyharbour has signed a Definitive Agreement with Australian company Pitchblende Energy, which is being acquired by ASX-listed Valor Resources, on the North Falcon Uranium Project whereby Pitchblende can earn-in 80% of the project through $3,500,000 in total exploration expenditures, $475,000 in total cash payments over three years and an initial share issuance.

Skyharbour’s goal is to maximize shareholder value through new mineral discoveries, committed long-term partnerships, and the advancement of exploration projects in geopolitically favourable jurisdictions

NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NetworkNewsAudio — ev Transportation Services Inc. (“evTS”) today announces that the company’s founder and chief executive officer, David Solomont, has been featured in an exclusive audio interview with NetworkNewsWire (“NNW”), a financial news and content distribution company and one of 50+ brands in the InvestorBrandNetwork (“IBN”). During the interview, Solomont gave an overview of evTS, the company’s outlook for the coming 12 months and his view on the future of the electric vehicle space.

The broadcast can be heard at The NetworkNewsAudio Interviews Podcast

Solomont began with background on the company, a maker of electric utility vehicles, and described the target market for the company’s lead product, the FireFly ESV.

“We’re a specialty vehicle manufacturer. We produce purpose-built, all-electric lightweight commercial utility vehicles and provide fleet management solutions. The first and primary market for our vehicle is what we call essential services. These are applications you don’t usually think about, like security patrol, parking enforcement, parks and recreation, airports and seaports, universities, corporate campuses, warehouse fulfillment and military bases.”

Solomont noted that evTS was able to continue moving forward during 2020 despite the business challenges of the past year. He expects 2021 to be a profitable year for the company, which is already delivering demo vehicles to its dealers.

“Dealers are incredibly important, because they’re the ones who have the tightest relationships with customers and prospects. By the end of the first quarter, we want to expand our dealer network from four dealers to eight, all carefully chosen,” he said. “We also plan to launch our evTaaS program – ev Transportation as a Service – to the on-demand, last-mile urban delivery market. And we expect to begin assembly and distribution in our first overseas market, most likely the UK.”

Solomont closed with his outlook for the future of the electric vehicle sector, which he described as still at the inception stage. He forecast that a tipping point in terms of consumer acceptance is on the horizon, but probably is still a few years away.

“The area to watch is really battery technology,” he said. “We won’t really hit the tipping point for EV sales until battery technology can enable electric vehicles to achieve 500 miles between charges and the price of an electric vehicle, which is driven substantially by battery costs, is equal to or less than the price of an internal-combustion-engine-powered vehicle. I think the key to battery technology is solid state batteries. This is something we’re going to see in the next two to three years.”
