Issued on behalf of Lake Victoria Gold Ltd.

Lake Victoria Gold Ltd. (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) is advancing the Tanzanian regulatory process — including Bank of Tanzania registration — for its previously announced gold loan facility of up to 6,000 ounces (~US$25 million) with Monetary Metals, a non-dilutive financing for its fully permitted Imwelo Gold Project.

Key Takeaways

Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) is advancing Bank of Tanzania registration and related regulatory workstreams required to implement its previously announced gold loan facility with Monetary Metals — an important step toward closing and funding.The facility provides for up to 6,000 ounces of gold (~US$25 million) of non-dilutive, project-level financing for the fully permitted Imwelo Gold Project, held through LVG’s Tanzanian subsidiary Tembo Gold (T) Limited under Mining Licence ML 538/2015.Uniquely, the facility is structured and repaid in gold ounces, matching the financing to Imwelo’s future production — what the Company calls one of the first structured gold-denominated project financings of its kind in Tanzania.LVG is advancing the financing alongside peers riding the same African-gold and gold-linked-capital wave, including Orezone Gold (TSX: ORE), Robex Resources (TSXV: RBX), Royal Gold (NASDAQ: RGLD), and Perseus Mining (ASX: PRU) (TSX: PRU).

Matching the Money to the Metal

VANCOUVER, BC, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group News Commentary — For a junior gold developer, how you finance a mine can matter as much as the ore in the ground. Raise too much equity at the wrong price and you dilute your shareholders into irrelevance before the first gold pour. On June 25, 2026, Lake Victoria Gold Ltd. (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) provided an update on a financing designed to sidestep exactly that trap: it is advancing the Tanzanian regulatory process for a gold loan facility with Monetary Metals & Co. of up to 6,000 ounces of gold — roughly US$25 million — to help fund its fully permitted Imwelo Gold Project.

The update is procedural, but in development-stage mining, procedure is the path. The Company said it is progressing the Bank of Tanzania registration and related regulatory, registration and notification workstreams required to implement the facility — the unglamorous administrative machinery that turns a signed term sheet into funded capital. Originally announced on April 1, 2026, the facility is intended to provide non-dilutive, project-level funding without a large equity raise at the project level.

Why “Gold-Denominated” Is the Whole Point

The defining feature of the facility is that it is structured in gold ounces, with repayment in gold ounces. Rather than borrowing dollars to be repaid in dollars regardless of what gold does, LVG would draw and repay in the very commodity Imwelo is being built to produce. That alignment matters: it matches the financing obligation to the project’s future output, so the loan and the mine move together rather than at cross purposes. Monetary Metals specializes in exactly this — gold-denominated financing that pays a yield on gold, in gold, through its Gold Yield Marketplace platform.

Marc Cernovitch, President, CEO & Director of Lake Victoria Gold, framed the regulatory progress as both company-specific and nationally significant: “Advancing the Tanzanian regulatory process for the Monetary Metals facility is an important and positive step for Lake Victoria Gold. This facility remains a central component of our non-dilutive funding strategy for Imwelo and reflects the type of disciplined, project-level capital structure we believe is appropriate for a near-term gold development project. We also believe this facility has broader significance for Tanzania, as it would represent one of the first structured gold-denominated project financing facilities of its kind in the country, demonstrating how gold-linked capital can support responsible mine development while preserving shareholder value.”

Cernovitch emphasized sequencing: “We are taking the right steps in the right order: working through the Bank of Tanzania process, engaging with the relevant Tanzanian authorities and ensuring the facility is implemented in a manner that is consistent with Tanzanian law, our development plan and our obligations as a public company. Imwelo is fully permitted, our in-country team is being strengthened, and our focus remains on execution.” Keith Weiner, Founder and CEO of Monetary Metals, added that as one of the first gold-denominated project financings of its kind in the country, “it is important that the foundational steps are completed properly and in full coordination with the relevant authorities.”

The Regulatory Workstreams in Motion

A cross-border, gold-denominated facility of this nature requires coordination across several established Tanzanian regulatory and administrative workstreams, which the Company says it is progressing in the ordinary course. The principal steps include Bank of Tanzania registration of the external facility (including obtaining a Debt Registration Number); Mining Commission engagement in respect of Mining Licence ML 538/2015 and the gold-delivery mechanics of the facility; mineral marketing, royalty and export-clearance alignment for future gold sales, delivery, royalty payments and export procedures; and definitive documentation and implementation planning with Monetary Metals and relevant Tanzanian and international advisers.

Completion of the facility remains subject to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory approvals, registrations and notifications, completion of definitive documentation, finalization of implementation mechanics, and other customary closing conditions. In other words, this is a milestone on the path, not the close itself — and the Company has said it expects to provide further updates as the workstreams advance.

The Asset Behind the Financing

Imwelo is a fully permitted gold project in Tanzania’s prolific Lake Victoria Goldfield, located west of AngloGold Ashanti’s Geita Gold Mine and held through LVG’s wholly owned Tanzanian subsidiary, Tembo Gold (T) Limited, under Mining Licence ML 538/2015. The Company describes it as a near-term development opportunity, fully permitted for mine construction and production, and is advancing engineering, procurement planning and financing initiatives in parallel as it works toward construction readiness.

Lake Victoria Gold also holds a 100% interest in the Tembo project, which sits adjacent to Barrick’s Bulyanhulu Mine and has seen more than fifty thousand metres of drilling. The Company points to validation from equity investment by Barrick and a strategic partnership with the Taifa Group — Tanzania’s largest mining contractor, which is slated to conduct contract mining and civil works at Imwelo. Management, directors and partners own more than 60% of the shares, an alignment of interests that development-stage investors often look for.

An important caveat applies: although Imwelo has been the subject of JORC-compliant PEA, PFS and updated PFS work, those foreign-code studies are not current under Canada’s NI 43-101, and the Company has not completed a feasibility study establishing mineral reserves. Any decision to commence production would therefore not be based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, which involves increased uncertainty and a higher risk of economic or technical failure. There is no certainty the planned low-capex open-pit operation will be economically viable or that production will occur as anticipated.

The Broader Trade: African Gold and Gold-Linked Capital

LVG sits at the intersection of two themes drawing investor capital: near-term African gold development and innovative, gold-linked financing. Four names help frame that landscape — though each carries its own risk profile and none is a proxy for LVG. Orezone Gold (TSX: ORE) (OTCQX: ORZCF) is a useful financing-structure comparison: the West African producer recently brought a hard-rock expansion at its Bomboré mine in Burkina Faso into commercial production, reported record first-quarter 2026 earnings, and notably funded growth in part through a US$100 million gold stream — the same family of gold-linked, non-dilutive capital LVG is pursuing.

Robex Resources (TSXV: RBX) is a fellow near-term builder turned producer: it achieved commercial production at its Kiniero Gold Mine in Guinea in early 2026, financed in part through a senior secured facility, illustrating the path from construction financing to cash flow that LVG is targeting at Imwelo. Royal Gold (NASDAQ: RGLD) represents the financing side of the equation at scale: as one of the world’s largest gold-focused royalty and streaming companies — recently enlarged by its acquisition of Sandstorm Gold Royalties — it embodies the institutional model of providing gold-linked, non-dilutive capital to miners in exchange for future metal, the broad category LVG’s Monetary Metals facility belongs to.

Perseus Mining (ASX: PRU) (TSX: PRU) anchors the Tanzania angle: the African-focused producer is developing its 80%-owned Nyanzaga project in the same Lake Victoria Goldfield as Imwelo — the first major new gold mine development in Tanzania in nearly two decades, with first gold targeted for early 2027. Perseus illustrates both the renewed institutional appetite for Tanzanian gold and the scale of capital flowing into the belt LVG operates in. Together these names map a sector where capital is rewarding funded, near-term developers — the lane Lake Victoria Gold is working to occupy.

The Bottom Line

Advancing a regulatory process is not the same as closing a financing, and Lake Victoria Gold remains a development-stage company that is not yet in production. But the structure here is the story: a gold project, in a major African gold jurisdiction, financed in gold itself, in a way designed to preserve shareholder value rather than erode it. If LVG completes the Bank of Tanzania workstreams and closes the Monetary Metals facility, it would not only fund Imwelo’s march toward construction — it could help establish a financing template for an entire country’s gold sector. The markers to watch now are completion of the regulatory steps, definitive documentation, and the move from approval toward funded capital.

SIGNAL OVER NOISE

Best VPS Hosting (2026): Virterion Recognized for Performance, Reliability, and Scalability by Expert Consumers

Published

35 minutes ago

on

September 5, 2026

By

NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Expert Consumers has recognized Virterion in an assessment of the best VPS hosting solutions for 2026. The recognition highlights the provider’s performance-focused virtual servers, infrastructure reliability, and ability to scale from entry-level VPS plans to dedicated hardware.

Best VPS Hosting

Virterion – a provider of VPS hosting, Windows VPS, website hosting, and dedicated servers offering KVM virtualization, configurable resources, European server locations, backup options, and scalable infrastructure, supported by 24/7 technical assistance and remote server management tools.

Demand for virtual private servers continues to grow as websites, applications, and databases require more control than conventional shared hosting can provide. VPS hosting allocates processing power, memory, and storage to an independent virtual environment. This structure gives developers and organizations greater control over software, security settings, and server configuration.

Virterion addresses these requirements through several workload-specific services. The portfolio includes standard VPS hosting, high-CPU configurations, Windows VPS, storage-focused virtual servers, website hosting tools, and dedicated servers. The range allows customers to select infrastructure based on processing, storage, operating system, and location requirements.

Virtual Servers Designed Around Different Workloads

Virterion uses KVM virtualization across the VPS range. KVM technology separates virtual machines within a physical server and provides each environment with allocated resources. Customers receive administrative access and can install supported operating systems or use compatible ISO images.

Standard VPS plans are available in Naaldwijk, the Netherlands, and Sofia, Bulgaria. Entry configurations include 1 vCPU, 1 GB of RAM, and 10 GB of SSD or NVMe storage. Plans also provide a static IPv4 address, with IPv6 available on applicable configurations.

The Netherlands and Bulgaria VPS ranges support resource customization. CPU cores, memory, storage, bandwidth, IP addresses, and backup capacity can be adjusted through the ordering system. Existing configurations can also be upgraded when traffic or application requirements increase.

Several operational features are available across applicable VPS plans:

Remote server access: A VNC console allows server access when standard network connections are unavailable.Backup controls: Supported plans allow manual backups and scheduled backup creation.Network testing: Looking Glass tools provide information about routes, latency, upload speeds, and download speeds.Flexible operating systems: Customers can select supported Linux distributions or compatible custom images.Technical assistance: Support is available around the clock through email, tickets, and online chat.

These tools give technical teams direct control over routine server management. However, customers remain responsible for application configuration, data protection, and software security.

Performance and Reliability Across European Locations

Location can influence website speed because distance affects the time required to transfer information. Virterion positions the Netherlands location for audiences across Central and Northern Europe. The Sofia location can support projects targeting Southeastern Europe and nearby markets.

Standard plans at both locations provide 300 Mbit/s network options and unlimited traffic. The Netherlands range uses enterprise NVMe storage, while the Bulgaria range uses enterprise SSD storage. Both formats are designed to provide faster data access than traditional mechanical drives.

Projects requiring greater processing capacity can use the High CPU VPS range. These servers use dedicated CPU cores, modern server processors, DDR5 memory, and enterprise NVMe storage. Virterion reports approximately 80 to 90 percent greater CPU performance than the standard Netherlands VPS line. The comparison is based on provider testing and should be evaluated alongside the requirements of each workload.

Reliability also depends on the surrounding data-center and network infrastructure. Virterion cites service availability of up to 99.995 percent for overseas data-center operations. Prospective customers can use the available network-testing tools to evaluate latency and routing before selecting a location.

Backup policies require careful review. Manual and scheduled backups are available on several VPS products, but customers remain responsible for protecting important files and databases. The storage-focused VPS line does not include backup functionality.

Storage VPS configurations begin with 500 GB of SSD capacity. Standard options extend to 1.5 TB, while configurable upgrades can reach 3 TB. This category may suit media libraries, archives, or data-heavy applications when an independent backup process is already established.

Windows VPS and Website Hosting

Virterion provides Windows VPS options in both the Netherlands and Bulgaria. Entry plans include 1 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM, 20 GB of SSD storage, a 300 Mbit/s network connection, one IP address, and unlimited traffic.

Windows VPS plans include a graphical desktop through Remote Desktop Protocol. VNC console access provides another method of connecting to the virtual machine. Manual and scheduled backup tools are also available.

The Windows service is unmanaged. Technical support can help address issues involving the virtual machine, but software and applications running inside the server remain the customer’s responsibility.

Windows licensing is another important consideration. Virterion provides an evaluation version with a 180-day trial key. A permanent operating system license is not included. Organizations planning long-term deployment should account for licensing and administration requirements before selecting a plan.

Website hosting can be managed through optional control-panel software. Available editions support individual developers, teams handling multiple projects, and agencies maintaining larger website portfolios. Depending on the selected edition, domain allowances include 10, 30, 50, or unlimited domains.

Relevant control-panel options include visual website management, database administration, WordPress tools, subscription controls, and account management. These features can reduce the amount of command-line work required for common hosting tasks.

A VPS still requires more technical involvement than conventional shared website hosting. The tradeoff is greater control over allocated resources, operating system settings, application installation, and security configuration.

Scaling From VPS Hosting to Dedicated Servers

Virtual servers can support many websites, development environments, databases, and business applications. Dedicated servers become more appropriate when a workload requires physical hardware without virtualization, larger memory capacity, multiple storage devices, hardware RAID, or consistently high network throughput.

Virterion offers dedicated servers from the Netherlands location. The catalog includes configurations for smaller production workloads and higher-capacity business systems. Available specifications include ECC memory, enterprise SSD and NVMe storage, hardware RAID options, and multiple-drive configurations.

Selected systems provide network links ranging from 1 Gbit/s to 10 Gbit/s. Traffic allowances vary by configuration, with unmetered service available as an upgrade on applicable servers. Some systems support hundreds of gigabytes of memory, while higher-capacity models support multiple enterprise storage devices.

The dedicated-server range provides a migration path for projects that outgrow VPS resources. Customers can begin with virtual infrastructure and move to physical hardware when performance, storage, or network requirements justify the change.

Dedicated hardware involves more planning than a standard VPS. Processor requirements, memory capacity, drive layout, RAID configuration, bandwidth, remote management, and operating system selection should be evaluated before ordering. Virterion provides sales assistance for customers who need help selecting a suitable configuration.

Practical Considerations for Prospective Customers

Virterion is suited to developers, agencies, online businesses, and technical teams seeking configurable VPS hosting in Europe. The service may also fit organizations requiring Windows-based environments, large-capacity storage, or access to dedicated infrastructure through the same provider.

The platform requires a degree of technical knowledge. Windows VPS plans are unmanaged, permanent Windows licensing is separate, and some storage plans do not include backup tools. Application security and data protection remain customer responsibilities.

Expert Consumers’ recognition focuses on the combination of workload-specific VPS options, configurable resources, European server locations, practical management tools, and a direct route to dedicated hardware. For organizations evaluating VPS hosting in 2026, these factors provide a structured way to match infrastructure with current requirements while preserving room for future growth.

The full review is available at the Expert Consumers website.

PITAKA Marks Its Next Chapter in Berlin With “Signals in the Wind,” Unveiling New iPhone 18 Accessories

Published

September 5, 2026

By

At The Feuerle Collection in Berlin, PITAKA hosted its inaugural brand event, premiering the new ‘Wind Over Wheat’ design and debuting Trace Form™—the brand’s original textured-weave technique.

BERLIN, Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PITAKA, known for its aramid-fiber phone cases, MagSafe accessories and tech accessories for iPhone and Samsung devices, marked a new chapter for the brand on the evening of September 4, hosting its first-ever brand event, “Signals in the Wind” at The Feuerle Collection, a converted industrial-era space turned art museum in Berlin. From 8 p.m., guests, press and industry partners filled the space, and the evening drew widespread praise as a striking debut for PITAKA’s move from tech accessories into a broader lifestyle brand built around materials and design.

The evening unfolded across five stations built around PITAKA’s philosophy of Material & Sense. In “Material Speaks,” a wheat-field-inspired product display let guests handle PITAKA Moment and Trace pieces side by side, feeling firsthand how aramid fiber shifts from an industrial material into something more emotional. “Meditation in the Wind” paired field recordings — wind through wheat, rustling stalks, birdsong — with the sounds of aramid fiber and weaving, inviting guests into a moment that can’t be repeated. The night’s centerpiece was the world premiere of the Wind Over Wheat Trace Form Edition, followed by the public debut of Trace Form™ itself: PITAKA’s technique for letting select fibers drift from their programmed path, so texture emerges from the interplay of human judgment and material response. A short film closed the evening, following a sound artist’s process from recording in the wheat fields to performing an original score live on-site — an experiment, PITAKA said, in how perception itself gets captured.

Wind Over Wheat, the latest addition to the Trace collection, is inspired by the fleeting movement of wind across a wheat field and uses woven aramid fiber to capture the rhythm of the landscape. It arrives in three finishes — Golden Drift, Surging Awn and Berlin Nocturne — with the limited Trace Form Edition launching September 17, timed to PITAKA’s new iPhone 18 accessories collection.

“Technology has become incredibly precise, but we’re interested in what happens when we leave room for material, human judgment and nature to participate in the process,” said James Zheng, Founder of PITAKA. “We want to create products that do more than perform a function — products that people can see, touch and feel a connection with.”

Through “Signals in the Wind,” PITAKA is shifting the conversation beyond conventional accessory features such as thinness and protection, toward material, aesthetics and sensory experience — establishing the brand not simply as a maker of phone cases and tech accessories, but as a distinctive voice in material-led design and modern technology lifestyle.

About PITAKA

PITAKA is a material technology and lifestyle brand exploring how advanced materials, craftsmanship and thoughtful design can shape the way everyday technology feels. Built around its philosophy of Material & Sense, PITAKA creates aramid-fiber phone cases, MagSafe accessories, tech organization and lifestyle products for Apple and Samsung devices.
