Pending final due diligence, Rock Tech Lithium Inc. has secured CAD 1.4 million in federal funding through the Government of Canada’s Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund (CMIF). Rock Tech is one of four critical minerals projects in Northern Ontario selected for this funding.The funding will be used to upgrade and extend a 10-kilometre access road north of Nipigon, Ontario. This road will facilitate the transportation of lithium from the Georgia Lake Project mine site to the proposed downstream Lithium Converter facility in Red Rock, Ontario.

TORONTO, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (TSXV: RCK) (OTCQX: RCKTF) (FWB: RJIB) (WKN: A1XF0V) (“Rock Tech”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded up to CAD 1.4 million in funding from the Government of Canada’s Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund (CMIF), a federal initiative to support the development of clean energy and transportation infrastructure projects in Canada’s critical minerals sector. Pending final due diligence, the funding will be used to upgrade and extend the Fairloch Lake Road to enable the transportation of Lithium-containing spodumene from its Georgia Lake Project mine site. Lake Nipigon Forest Management (a forest management cooperative of Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek, Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek, Red Rock Indian Band, and Animbiigoo Zaagi’igan Anishinaabek) has been engaged to complete the road construction.

Dirk Harbecke, Rock Tech’s CEO commented: “We are honoured to receive this funding to support the development of our Georgia Lake mining project. Unlike many other projects in Ontario, our Georgia Lake project benefits from a highly strategic location with extensive infrastructure already in place. This results in lower development costs compared to more remote projects.”

ABOUT ROCK TECH

Rock Tech’s vision is to supply the electric vehicle and battery industry with sustainable, locally produced Lithium, targeting a 100% recycling rate.

In HelloNation, Healthcare Expert Kim McKenna Breaks Down HIV and Hepatitis Care in Rural Kentucky

Published

on

By

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky., July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should people living in rural Kentucky know about getting care for HIV and hepatitis close to home? A new HelloNation article featuring insights from Healthcare Expert Kim McKenna of One Cross Community Health in Campbellsville, KY, provides a clear and timely answer, spotlighting the realities of local support, treatment access, and confidential testing in small communities.

The article explains how HIV and hepatitis care in rural Kentucky is both accessible and designed to meet the needs of the local population. One of the most important points the article raises is that confidentiality is a top priority. In smaller communities, fear of stigma or being recognized can deter individuals from seeking help, but the article emphasizes that clinics in rural areas are trained to deliver private, respectful care.

Confidential testing is presented as the essential first step, whether someone is concerned about a recent exposure or is seeking a routine screening. According to the article, these services are delivered in a judgment-free environment where discretion is taken seriously. The HelloNation article makes it clear that early detection leads to better outcomes, and that access to confidential testing plays a crucial role in this process.

The article also discusses the difference in care needs depending on diagnosis. For HIV, the focus is on suppressing the virus with medication. When taken consistently, this treatment can lower viral levels to the point where they are undetectable, helping people live full and healthy lives. For hepatitis, treatment varies depending on type and stage, and some forms can even be cured. In both cases, rural clinics provide the education, support, and long-term care needed to manage these conditions effectively.

Throughout the piece, the article emphasizes how HIV and hepatitis care in rural Kentucky is built on more than just medical treatment. Emotional support, mental health awareness, and community resources are also part of the care model. Patients are offered help not just with their physical health, but with the psychological and logistical challenges that can come with a diagnosis.

The article points out that reliable care doesn’t have to come from far away. Many people in rural areas assume they must travel to urban centers for treatment, but the HelloNation feature highlights that this is not the case. Clinics in rural Kentucky are equipped to offer ongoing care, reducing the need for long travel and supporting better adherence to treatment plans.

Transportation, cost, and insurance concerns are also addressed. The article explains how rural clinics help patients navigate financial assistance programs, insurance plans, and other barriers that could prevent someone from staying in care. This kind of support plays a key role in helping people begin and continue treatment.

Another major takeaway from the article is that continuity matters. Seeing the same provider over time helps build trust, encourages open communication, and supports long-term success. HIV and hepatitis care in rural Kentucky isn’t just about access; it’s about connection, stability, and trust.

Education is another part of care. The article explains that providers regularly discuss how HIV and hepatitis are transmitted and how people can protect themselves. This helps reduce stigma and misinformation, while giving individuals the knowledge to make informed health decisions.

For those managing chronic conditions, the article notes that consistent monitoring and regular follow-ups help ensure care stays on track. These check-ins allow providers to respond proactively and make adjustments as needed. This kind of ongoing attention can make a significant difference in health outcomes.

The article concludes with a strong message of hope. With care rooted in dignity, respect, and privacy, individuals in rural Kentucky do not have to face HIV or hepatitis alone. Support is available close to home, and it is designed with their needs in mind.

What to Know About HIV and Hepatitis Care in Rural Kentucky features insights from Kim McKenna, Healthcare Expert of Campbellsville, KY, in HelloNation.

Razor Labs Launches DataMind AI™ 5.0, Advancing the Next Generation of AI-Powered Predictive Maintenance for Mining

Major platform release expands predictive maintenance beyond fault detection, helping mining companies turn AI insights into faster maintenance decisions and improved asset reliability

SYDNEY, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Razor Labs (TASE: RZR), a global leader in AI-powered predictive maintenance for mining, today announced the launch of DataMind AI™ 5.0, a major evolution of its predictive maintenance platform that expands predictive maintenance beyond early fault detection to support the complete maintenance decision-making process.

As mining operations become increasingly digital and equipment fleets grow in size and complexity, maintenance teams face mounting pressure to improve reliability while reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. While artificial intelligence has transformed the ability to detect developing equipment failures, identifying a fault is only the beginning. Engineers must still investigate the issue, determine the appropriate response, coordinate maintenance activities, execute repairs, and verify that equipment has safely returned to operation.

The new version bridges that gap by connecting AI-powered insights with the operational workflows that maintenance and reliability teams rely on every day. Powered by Razor Labs’ proprietary AI Sensor Fusion™ technology, the platform delivers a more connected approach to equipment health management, helping organizations move seamlessly from early detection through investigation, maintenance execution, and verification across both mobile fleets and fixed assets.

“Predictive maintenance doesn’t end when AI detects a fault – that’s where the real work begins,” said Raz Roditti, CEO of Razor Labs. “DataMind AI™ 5.0 represents an important milestone in our vision for AI-powered predictive maintenance in mining. Mining companies need more than earlier detection – they need technology that helps maintenance teams make faster decisions, collaborate more effectively, and confidently turn insights into action. This release strengthens that connection, enabling organizations to maximize the value of predictive maintenance across their operations.”

The release brings together AI-powered diagnostics, engineering investigation, maintenance collaboration, and complete fault lifecycle management within a unified environment designed around the way maintenance organizations operate. By reducing the disconnect between identifying potential failures and resolving them, the platform helps improve maintenance efficiency, operational visibility, and decision-making at scale.

“Maintenance teams don’t need more alerts – they need greater clarity, context, and better workflows,” said Assaf Eden, VP Product at Razor Labs. “Version 5.0 was designed around those day-to-day realities, helping teams investigate issues faster, collaborate more effectively, and move from detection to resolution with greater confidence.”

This release reflects Razor Labs’ continued investment in advancing AI-powered predictive maintenance for mining and reinforces the company’s commitment to helping mining organizations improve equipment reliability, reduce operational risk, and transform maintenance through practical, scalable AI solutions.

Version 5.0 is now available to Razor Labs customers worldwide.
