Kimberly Ann, Founder, CEO, President, and Director of Lahontan Gold Corp. (OTCQB: LGCXF) (TSXV: LG) ($LGCXF), is with New to The Street's TV Host Jane King, talking about the Company from the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio. Lahontan Gold Corp. is a Canadian junior exploration gold and silver mining entity with mining claims and business operations in Mineral County, Nevada. Kimberly updates viewers about LGCXF's current exploration projects and pending drill results. Its Santa Fe Property, a past producer and the Company's flagship holding, and West Santa Fe claims are active concessions. West Santa Fe is about 15km from the Santa Fe property, and over time, management expects it will eventually merge both holdings into a larger mining plan of operation. The Company's geological team has completed drilling targets on the Santa Fe holdings, and now they are awaiting results to compile drill data to map mineralization zones. Kimberly explains and updates viewers about the permitting process and how the Company uses the "Notice of Intent" permit. This option is a quicker permit to receive than a "Plan of Operation" permit. Recently, the Company obtained an additional eight sq/km of mining claims contiguous to the Santa Fe mine. A large mining company decided not to maintain its BLM (Bureau of Land Management) permit, letting it expire. Lahontan's team immediately staked the lapsed claims, which are now part of the Company's Santa Fe mining property. In 2024, the Company expects to provide environmental reports and economic feasibility statements and continue to drill and publish results, hoping to maintain a fast-track objective to bring the Santa Fe Mine back into production. Lahontan Gold has a Canadian 43-101 report on its Santa Fe operations.

The West Virginia Department of Economic Development granted the Company $15 Million in low-interest loans to move forward with the Quincy plant. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Clean-Seas, for the Quincy plant development, hired  CDI Engineering Solutions to provide engineering, procurement, and construction services and ERM to provide environmental and permitting support for the project. The Company plans to begin processing plastic for conversion to clean energy at 100 tons per day, starting in 2024 and scaling to 500 tons per day over time. Once fully operational and converting plastic waste at 500 tpd, the facility can employ about 200 people. Dan has met with Governor Jim Justice and other state officials to advance the project as it fulfills the Governor's commitment to innovation and technologies that are financially sound and support a clean economy.

"Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security Segment – Weekly Hack" with Internationally acclaimed internet privacy expert Mr. Alain Ghiai, CEO at Sekur Private Data, Ltd.  (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) (Sekur®) and New to the Street TV Co-Host / Multi-media Journalist Ana Berry discuss the most recent cybersecurity issue. This week's topic is how Russians hacked the US Department of Justice and the US Pentagon, stealing about 632,000 email addresses. After an extensive investigation by the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the source of the cybersecurity breach was a file-share software product called "Move It." The software had some code vulnerabilities the Russian hackers exploited to access these government's email platforms. Alain explains that many software companies hire 3rd parties to help develop applications, and quality controls and other security features can become overlooked during development. Sometimes, these third parties use Big Tech's open-source software products to create code, which is a furtherance of shortcomings that hackers can find access to a technology platform. With current geopolitical problems, hacking is becoming more frequent. Hackers infiltrated Germany's largest internet service providers, and many believe Russia was behind the attack because of Germany's political support for Ukraine. Now, with another war in the Middle East, hackers are taking sides, looking to breach those supporting countries. A great way to limit a possible cybersecurity problem is having separate email accounts, general purpose email, and a private secure platform for sensitive information transmissions. Sekur, with its 100% owned Swiss-hosted servers, offers closed-loop secure encrypted products, SekurVPN, SekurMail, SekurMessenger, and other services for businesses, governments, and individuals. SekurVPN encrypts internet traffic and protects digital footprints. SekurMail and SekurMessenger offer private and secure chats and emails, and with SekurSend/SekurReply and "Chat-by-Invite" features, the products can significantly diminish cybersecurity hack threats. Sometime in 2024, Sekur will roll out a new voice encryption service for businesses, another product that defends against hackers. All Sekur's products are through subscription, reasonably priced, and easy to use, and SekurVPN is now available for a free 30-day trial. The Company has PROMO CODE: PRIVACY on all of Sekur's services; subscribers get 15% off monthly and yearly fees. The Company has online customer service support Monday-Friday, 9 AM-7 PM ET. Sekur uses no 3rd party technology providers, never asks for phone numbers, does no data mining, never sells data, and controls/owns its servers in Switzerland, a country with the strictest privacy laws in the world. Alain and Ana welcome everyone to tune in weekly to learn about protections from the ever-growing global cybersecurity issues.

"What is your privacy worth?"

From the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio New to The Street's TV Host Jane King talks with David Crownson, the CEO/Founder of Kingwood Comics. With a mission to empower creative people to tell diverse stories, Kingwood Comics publishes multiple genres in graphic novel formats. David talks about his success with his comic book series, "Harriet Tubman: Demon Slayer," and how it went from a printed graphic novel to a pending TV/media streaming series. Prentice Penny, well known for HBO's show Insecure and Netflix's film Uncorked, is co-producing the "Harriet Tubman: Demon Slayer" series with David. Disney Entertainment Onyx Collective is developing the forthcoming show, expecting release in 2025. David says the recent writer's strike slowed production but expects an exciting launch in 2025. With the recent Disney+ and Hulu merger, a new app is coming to market, and the new streaming platform is looking for creative and exciting content, "Harriet Tubman: Demon Slayer" fits the streaming app's objectives. David and the Onyx Collective producers believe the new series will be an enormous success, just like the show "Walking Dead." Another creative Kingwood Comics' production is "Killer Bee," a pending comic book series about a female assassin whose last hit target is her boyfriend, a romantic comedy storyline. David went on to "X" (formerly known as Twitter) to tell his followers about his newest graphic novel. When a well-known comedian "re-X" David’s post, he almost instantly had 5 million views. His production manager said that numerous inquiries came from film production companies who read the "X" post, and they wanted to develop the "Killer Bee" comic book storyline into a movie and, or TV series. David and his team decided to go with Confidential Films as the production entity and feel they will effectively develop "Killer Bee's" storyline. "Harriet-Tubman: Demon Slayer" is available for purchase nationwide, and when the comic first hit bookstores, it received more sales in 30 days than "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Walking Dead." David tells viewers that during book signing tours, his followers are of all ages, genders, and races; he expects the same when Killer Bee hits the book stands.
