( MENAFN - GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) RIMOUSKI, Québec, Dec. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Puma Exploration Inc. (TSXV: PUMA, OTCQB: PUMXF) (the“Company” or“Puma”) announces that it has closed a non-brokered placement (the“FT Private Placement”) consisting of 6,685,000 flow-through units (the“FT Units”) at $0.10 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of C$668,500. Each FT Unit comprises one flow-through share and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share of the Company at $0.15 per share valid for 24 months. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration clause that entitles the Company to provide notice (the "Acceleration Notice") to holders that they will expire 30 days from the date the Company delivers the Acceleration Notice. The Company can only provide the Acceleration Notice if the closing price of the Company's Common Shares on the TSXV is equal to or greater than $0.25 for 30 consecutive trading days. The Acceleration Notice can be provided at any time after the statutory hold period and before the expiry date of the warrants. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months and one day pursuant to applicable securities laws. The net proceeds of the FT units will be used to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses and flow-through mining expenditures, as defined under the Income Tax Act (Canada), that will be renounced in favour of the purchasers, with an effective date of no later than Dec. 31, 2025. The funds will advance the exploration of the newly acquired McKenzie Gold Project and other company assets in northern New Brunswick. In connection with the closing of the private placement offerings, the company paid aggregate cash finder's fees of $39,445 and issued 394,450 non-transferable finder warrants. The finder warrants have the same terms than the warrants included in the units and exercisable at $0.15 per common share. Certain directors and other insiders of the Company participated in the Private Placement. They subscribed for 350,000 FT Units for an aggregate price of $35,000, an amount no more than the maximum amount permissible under applicable securities laws and regulatory rules.

Sir Cliff Richard wants to bring out his own range of gravy. The 84-year-old singer is famed amongst his loved ones for his “custard-thick” festive sauce, which features two onions fried in olive oil, two chicken, lamb, vegetable and beef stock cubes, as well as boiling water. Cliff recently told My Weekly magazine of his gravy: “Then I add teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. “I didn’t read it anywhere, I just made up things I like to taste.” And because of its popularity, the ‘Mistletoe and Wine’ hitmaker would love to see his gravy stocked in supermarkets. He said: “I’m still waiting for some company to offer me a deal! “Paul Newman has his name on all sorts of mayonnaise and salad dressings and he did it for charity. “I’m available... Can you imagine? ‘Cliff Richard’s gravy – probably the greatest gravy in the world.’ “ Cliff serves up his gravy, along with the rest of Christmas dinner, in sunnier climes, spending the 2023 festive season at his house in Barbados and the previous year in Florida. He said: “Warm weather appeals to me and sometimes ‘White Christmas’ comes on. You’re looking out of the window thinking, ‘It’s 98 degrees. It’s not going to happen.’ “ The ‘Saviour's Day’ hitmaker previously admitted he thinks it is “weird” that so many people associate him with Christmas, but he’s happy to make people happy over the festive season. He told Women’s Weekly magazine: “It’s weird, because contrary to popular belief, I do not own Christmas, nor have all my hits been Christmas tracks. “But if people want to think of me at Christmas? Well, I’ll take that thank you. “Christmas is a family time, so if I help to bring warmth to others then I’m happy.”In the glitzy world of celebrity culture, where luxury and lavishness are often the norm, a select group of stars are bucking the trend, choosing humble abodes over sprawling mansions. While many celebrities splurge on palatial homes, flashy cars, and designer wardrobes, others like Britain’s Got Talent icon Susan Boyle and The Chase star Anne Hegarty have famously maintained their modest living arrangements. TV icons like Caroline Aherne left fans stunned after her death with her ordinary flat in Manchester and The Traitors winner Harry Clark stuck with his council flat. Let’s take a look at some of the celebs who made it big but live in surprisingly humble digs. Susan Boyle Since rising to fame on Britain's Got Talent in 2009, Susan Boyle has seen tremendous success, yet she has chosen to stay in the Blackburn council house where she grew up. Now 63, Susan has amassed a fortune that could have bought her a residence in any of the world's most luxurious locales. Instead, a few years ago when she was feeling particularly prosperous, she purchased the semi-detached house next door for £111,000 and merged it with her childhood home to create her dream residence. Despite competing on BGT and coming in second to the dance troupe Diversity, Susan has sold over 19 million records and accrued an estimated £22 million. She told OK! Magazine, "It’s to do with the memories of your house and your upbringing, you need to take stock of things and maybe see where you come from and where your roots lie." The Grammy nominee also mentioned the importance of staying grounded: "It’s best to be grounded and with your roots. It keeps you grounded and prevents you from saying things maybe you shouldn't say." Anne Hegerty Despite amassing an estimated fortune of £3.2 million, Anne Hegerty , known as The Governess on The Chase , continues to live modestly in a shared ownership flat that's part-owned by the Housing Association. At 66, the beloved braniac has lived in this affordable property since before her rise to fame on the ITV game show, a living arrangement initially designed to help less affluent individuals ascend the housing ladder. Despite her substantial earnings, Anne reveals that she has opted not to upgrade her living situation. The bulk of her wealth, she admits, is simply accumulating in her bank account. In an episode of the podcast How To Be 60 With Kaye Adams, Anne shared: "I live in a Housing Association flat. I own half of it and rent the other half.” She shared that her expenditures are minimal, mainly saving her money, though she does indulge in purchasing "stupid amounts of clothes." Anne, who was already living in the flat when she joined The Chase in 2010, has spoken about living with autism and never having married or had children: "The two things that seem to cost people the most money are their families and their holidays. I’m okay for disposable income, shall we say. I’m not really an expensive person, and that’s nice. I’m comfortable, as it were." Caroline Aherne Caroline Aherne, celebrated for her comedic genius, left behind a fortune estimated at half a million pounds after her untimely death. Despite her significant wealth, she resided in a small bungalow in Timperley, near Altrincham. Caroline was best known for her portrayal of Denise Royle on the beloved sitcom The Royle Family, which she also co-created and wrote with Craig Cash. She was equally famous for playing the chat show host Mrs Merton and for her three-year stint as the narrator of the Channel 4 series Gogglebox . Caroline passed away in 2016 aged 56 at home in Timperley, Greater Manchester. She did not leave a will, resulting in her entire £500,000 estate passing directly to her mother, Maureen. Unfortunately, the inheritance exceeded the tax-free threshold of £325,000, leaving Maureen to pay over £71,000 in inheritance taxes to HMRC . Additionally, Caroline's business, Mitzi Entertainment, held £76,000 in its accounts at the time of her death, having been valued at £300,000 back in 2011. Harry Clark Despite winning a hefty £95,000 on the BBC show The Traitors , Harry Clark continues to live modestly in his family's council house in Slough. The 23-year-old won the grand prize after outmanoeuvring his fellow contestants, including a dramatic final where he controversially claimed the entire jackpot from his co-star Mollie Pearce. Since his victory, Harry hasn't embarked on a lavish spending spree but has secured some "cool sponsorship deals" and attended high-profile events like the BRIT Awards and the National Television Awards. Harry is also in a relationship with CBBC presenter Anna Maynard, who is related to singer Conor Maynard and YouTuber Jack Maynard. Despite his newfound fame and success, Harry prefers the familiarity of his childhood home. He shared in a piece for the i newspaper: “Back in March I was on the red carpet at the BRITs and saw Dua Lipa. And then I got a taxi home to the council house in Slough, where I grew up with my parents and five siblings. In May I went to a Make-A-Wish Ball at the Savoy – I got driven there in a car which had a TV screen in the back. And then I came home and slept in my bunk bed.” Harry admits that some people might find his choice to return home "odd," yet he sees it as a "nice contrast" to the glamorous life he's experienced recently. He also insisted he ”doesn't care what anyone else thinks” about his decision and that he hopes to be able to buy the property for his beloved parents.

This price movement saw a significant reduction in trading volume, with only about 44.6 million shares exchanged compared to the usual 379.6 million, marking an 88% decline in average daily volume. Analysts’ Optimism Despite the Dip Despite the unexpected stock performance, brokerage firms remain optimistic about NVIDIA’s future. Recent evaluations from firms like Phillip Securities and Oppenheimer highlight an upward revision in price targets. Notably, Stifel Nicolaus and Wells Fargo have set their sights on higher targets, emphasizing a “buy” and “overweight” rating, respectively. Strong Financials Fuel Confidence NVIDIA’s latest earnings report offers even more reason for investor optimism. The company outperformed expectations, with revenue hitting $35.08 billion for the quarter, signifying a significant 93.6% increase from the previous year. Earnings per share also surpassed forecasts, coming in at $0.81 against the anticipated $0.69. Share Buyback and Dividend News NVIDIA has also declared a quarterly dividend and announced a substantial share buyback program worth $50 billion, indicative of confidence in its undervalued stock. This move could potentially drive share prices higher as the company repurchases up to 1.6% of its outstanding shares.

However, these sales haven’t dampened market sentiment, which continues to view NVIDIA as a strong player with robust growth prospects.

With analysts maintaining a “Moderate Buy” rating, NVIDIA remains a compelling investment opportunity amidst temporary market fluctuations. Is NVIDIA a Good Buy Right Now?

Despite this fluctuation, the company’s financial undertakings and market performance continue to capture the attention of investors and analysts alike. Innovative Financial Strategies Provide Stability One of NVIDIA’s most compelling moves is its announced share buyback program worth $50 billion.

Anticipated Price Increases Reflect Market Faith Analysts from brokerage firms such as Stifel Nicolaus and Wells Fargo have raised their price targets, with “buy” and “overweight” ratings signaling continued confidence in NVIDIA’s future capitalization growth. This positive outlook is bolstered by NVIDIA’s recent financial performance and strategic maneuvers. Examining Insider Transactions: Market Sentiment Remains Positive Recent insider transactions have captured the market’s attention, as significant share sales by directors such as Mark A. Stevens and John Dabiri were observed. Yet, these actions have not overshadowed the prevailing bullish sentiment regarding NVIDIA’s growth outlook.

ROME — More than 800 turkeys were dropped off at the Rome Rescue Mission on Friday, collected and donated through the annual Rizio & Calandra Plumbing/Excavating Turkey Challenge, company officials said. Since 2020, the company has been challenging other businesses to match or exceed their turkey donations to the mission. “They like it. It’s a fun little thing to go back and forth,” said owner Joseph Calandra, with donors one-upping each other. “Without everybody else, this wouldn’t be what it is.” Calandra said the challenge started during the COVID-19 pandemic after a chance encounter with former Rome Mission Executive Director Matt Miller, who died earlier this year. According to Calandra, Miller told him they were “low on turkeys” during the pandemic for the Mission’s annual Thanksgiving meals. So Calandra said he started the challenge and was able to donate around 330 turkeys that first year. They continued to challenge other businesses and started accepting donations from individuals as well over the years. Calandra said he was considering backing off this year because his work was getting busy, but another chance encounter with the new Acting Executive Director, Lisa Patierno, put him back at it when she again said they were low on turkeys. “You’ve got to help people if you can,” said Calandra. “It’s the holidays. You should never go hungry, ever, but especially not during the holidays.” Within two weeks of posting the challenge to social media, Calandra said on Friday that they raised enough money to purchase more than 800 turkeys from Palmer Food Services and Smith Packing in Utica. They dropped off the frozen birds to the Rome Rescue Mission on East Dominick Street Friday afternoon.
