    American Critical Minerals Announces Kenneth Taylor as Strategic Advisor to the Company and Launches Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program

    VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2025 / American Critical Minerals Corp. (“American Critical Minerals” or the “Company“) (CSE:KCLI)(OTCQB:APCOF)(Frankfurt:2P3) is pleased to announce that it has appointed Kenneth Taylor as Strategic Advisor with immediate effect.

    Kenneth Taylor is an expert in Salt Minerals and Evaporite Deposits and has worked for over 20 years in the States of Utah and New Mexico. Ken was with Intrepid Potash Inc. (www.intrepidpotash.com) for 12 years in a number of roles including as part of Senior Management, latterly as Vice President of Business Development. He has also consulted to a number of entities in Utah and for the last 8 years has been in senior positions with Redmond Minerals focused primarily on its Mineral Salt Products and is its Chief Financial Officer.

    Ken has process, regulatory, finance, sales, and research experience across a broad range of evaporite minerals including sodium chloride (salt), potash (potassium chloride), lithium chloride, magnesium chloride, and other forms of evaporites. His combination of financial and operational experience combined with work on R&D projects will enable him to provide commercial, operational and strategic advice to the American Critical Minerals Team. His industry connections and current work network will provide access to a number of potential Industry and Strategic Partners as well as State Government Entities.

    Ken graduated Magna Cum Laude from BYU with a degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering and has post graduate degrees in business from the Booth School of Business in Chicago and Stanford Graduate School of Business.

    Management Commentary

    Simon Clarke President & CEO stated, “we are delighted to welcome Ken to our team, his knowledge, and insights as well as his strategic relationships will be extremely valuable as we continue to advance our Green River Project. In particular, his knowledge of successful Potash Solution Mining Operations in the Paradox Basin and the evolution of the Paradox Brines as a major source of lithium and associated by-products, provides us with invaluable insights and connections, as does his knowledge of successfully developing evaporite deposits across Utah and beyond.”

    Warrant Incentive Program

    The Company also announces the implementation of a warrant exercise incentive program (the “Program“) intended to encourage the early exercise of up to 4,620,800 warrants (the “Warrants“) previously issued in connection with a private placement and which are currently exercisable at a price of $0.1875 per share. Under the Program, the Company is offering an inducement to each holder of the Warrants that exercises on or before August 6, 2025 (the “Program End Date“). Holders exercising Warrants on or before the Program End Date will be entitled to receive one additional warrant (the “New Warrant“) for each share subscribed for. Each New Warrant will be exercisable at a price of $0.28 until August 6, 2027. The proceeds from the Program will strengthen the Company’s treasury and will be used for working capital purposes and the advancement of the Company’s Green River Project.

    Holders of the Warrants are encouraged to contact the Company to coordinate exercise prior to the Program End Date.

    About American Critical Minerals’ Green River Potash and Lithium Project

    The Green River Potash and Lithium Project is situated within Utah’s highly productive Paradox Basin, located 20 miles northwest of Moab, Utah and has significant logistical advantages including close proximity to major rail hubs, airport, roads, water, towns and labour markets. It also benefits from close proximity to the agricultural and industrial heartland of America and numerous potential end-users for its products.

    The history of oil and gas production across the Paradox Basin provides geologic data from historic wells across the Project, and the wider Basin, validating and de-risking the potential for high grade potash and large amounts of contained lithium. Wells in and around the project reported lithium up to 500 ppm, bromine up to 6,100 ppm and boron up to 1,260 ppm (Gilbride & Santos, 2012). This data is reinforced by nearby potash production and the advanced stage of neighbouring lithium projects. The Paradox Basin is believed to contain up to 56 billion tonnes of lithium brines, potentially the largest such resource in US (Source: Anson Fastmarkets Presentation – https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/ASN/02823465.pdf )The Company also has a 43-101 Exploration Target of 600 million to 1 billion tonnes of sylvinite (the most important source for the production of potash in North America) with average grades ranging from 19% to 29% KCL.**

    The Company holds a 100% interest in eleven State of Utah (SITLA) mineral and minerals salt leases covering approximately 7,050 acres, 1,094 federal lithium brine claims (BLM Placer Claims) covering 21,150 acres, and 11 federal (BLM) potash prospecting permits covering approximately 25,480 acres. Through these leases, permits and claims the Company has the ability to explore for potash, lithium and potential by-products across the entire Green River Project (approx. 32,530 acres). The Company is authorized to drill a total of 7 exploratory drill holes across the Project (pending bonding the recently approved 4 drill holes).

    Intrepid Potash, Inc. is America’s largest potash company and only U.S. domestic potash producer and currently produces potash from its nearby Moab Solution Mine, which the Company believes provides strong evidence of stratigraphic continuity within this part of the Paradox Basin (www.intrepidpotash.com). Anson Resources Ltd. has advanced lithium development projects contiguous to the northern boundary of our Green River Project and neighbouring to the south. Anson has a large initial resource, robust definitive feasibility study and has recently completed successful piloting operations through its partnership with Koch Technology Solutions, as well as an offtake agreement with LG Energy Solution. The Anson exploration targets encompass the combined Mississippian Leadville Formation and the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation brine-bearing clastic layers, which also underlie American Critical Minerals’ entire project area (www.ansonresources.com)*.

    In 2022, the U.S. imported approx. 96.5% of its annual potash requirements with domestic producers receiving a higher sales price due to proximity to market (intrepidpotash.com/ August 15, 2024, Investor Presentation). In March 2024, the US Senate introduced a bill to include key fertilizers and potash on the US Department of Interior list of Critical Minerals which already includes lithium. Recent market estimates suggest that the global potash market is over US$50 billion annually and growing at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR“) of close to 5%. Annual lithium demand is now estimated to be over 1 million tonnes globally and continuing to grow rapidly.***

  • Auzmor Launches Critical E-Learning Marketplace to Close Workforce Skills Gap as LinkedIn Report Finds 49% of Executives Say Employees Lack Critical AI-Era Capabilities

    Auzmor Launches Critical E-Learning Marketplace to Close Workforce Skills Gap as LinkedIn Report Finds 49% of Executives Say Employees Lack Critical AI-Era Capabilities

    Platform delivers 100,000+ courses, preparing frontline workers for AI-transformed workplaces while leveraging mandatory compliance touchpoints

    DES MOINES, IA / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2025 / Auzmor, the pioneering learning experience company behind Auzmor Learn and Auzmor Office, today announced the launch of its independent e-learning content marketplace designed to address the critical gap in training content specifically designed to build AI-era competencies such as automation literacy, data-informed decision-making, and human-AI collaboration. Unlike existing platforms with outdated materials, Auzmor’s marketplace delivers fresh, AI-optimized content specifically created for workers navigating the intelligence revolution.

    With the global e-learning market projected to reach $842.64 billion by 2030 (Grand View Research, 2024), traditional content providers like OpenSesame have failed to keep pace with rapidly evolving skill requirements. While these platforms offer basic training, their libraries remain rooted in pre-AI workplace models. Auzmor’s independent marketplace fills this void as The Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte estimate that 2.4 million manufacturing jobs could go unfilled by 2028 due to skills shortages, with the ability to work alongside AI technologies and digital systems cited as the most critical gap.

    “The future of work isn’t about replacing humans with AI, it’s about empowering workers to master new skills that didn’t exist five years ago,” said Darryl Jose, CEO and Co-Founder of Auzmor. “Existing content marketplaces are stuck in the past, offering the same tired courses from 2015. We’re building something entirely different: an independent platform where every course is designed for the skills workers actually need today and tomorrow.”

    Independent Marketplace Delivers 100,000+ Courses for the New Skills Economy

    Auzmor’s marketplace features over 100,000 courses specifically curated and created for emerging skill requirements:

    AI & Digital Transformation: AI & Machine Awareness, Working in Augmented Environments, Digital Tool Proficiency, Data-Driven Decision Making, Human-AI Collaboration, Predictive Maintenance Systems, Automation Awareness, Digital Workplace Navigation

    Compliance & Safety Excellence: OSHA Safety Certifications, Harassment Prevention, Cybersecurity Essentials, HIPAA Compliance, Workplace Violence Prevention, Environmental Compliance, PPE Usage, Lockout/Tagout Procedures, Forklift Safety, Manual Handling

    Professional Development for Modern Workplaces: Emotional Intelligence in Digital Teams, Leading Hybrid Groups, Critical Thinking for Automated Processes, Change Management, Digital Communication, DEI Training, Conflict Resolution, Time Management for Shift Workers

    Technical Foundations: Digital Maintenance, IoT Systems, Cloud-Based Operations, Mobile Technology Integration, Equipment Optimization, Quality Control in Automated Environments

    Compliance Training: The Gateway to New Skills

    Every worker needs compliance training. Auzmor transforms these required courses into pathways for learning new skills. When workers complete their mandatory safety training, they discover courses on AI-powered safety systems. After finishing cybersecurity basics, they can learn about protecting AI systems. Environmental compliance leads to sustainable technology skills. This approach means workers gain efficiency-boosting abilities while meeting regulatory requirements.

    “Compliance training is like a bridge to the future,” Jose explained. “A warehouse worker takes their required forklift safety course and discovers how AI inventory systems work. They learn new skills that make their job easier and safer. That same worker who came for compliance leaves with abilities that make them invaluable in an automated warehouse. It’s practical, it’s powerful, and it works because we meet workers where they already are.”

    Marketplace Features Drive Measurable Transformation

    The Auzmor content marketplace is engineered to deliver measurable learning outcomes by embedding advanced functionality directly into its content infrastructure:

    • AI-Powered Personalization: Machine learning tailors course recommendations to each worker’s skill profile and job function

    • Predictive Skills Mapping: Every course is tagged with competencies tied to future job demands, enabling employers to close gaps before they emerge

    • Mobile-First Architecture: Content is optimized for use on mobile devices, including offline functionality for frontline and shift-based roles

    • Micro-Learning Modules: Most content is structured in 5-15 minute bursts to seamlessly fit into the rhythm of work

    • Real-Time Content Analytics: Organizations can track consumption, engagement, and knowledge retention by role or team

    • Multilingual AI Support: Natural language processing enables dynamic translation, expanding access for multilingual teams

    • Integrated Compliance Content Layering: Courses meet regulatory requirements while doubling as gateways into upskilling pathways

    Early Adopters Report Significant Results

    Auzmor’s new marketplace builds on years of experience helping organizations close skill gaps with modern, industry-relevant content. This is not a speculative launch; it’s a scaled solution based on proven success in aligning learning content with workforce transformation:

    • Manufacturing: Firms used Auzmor’s predictive maintenance and AI-awareness content to prepare technicians for increasingly automated equipment

    • Logistics: Employers integrated communication and automation-readiness modules into training paths for frontline workers, resulting in improved adaptability and digital proficiency

    • Healthcare & Energy: Teams layered cybersecurity and environmental compliance content with emerging green tech and data governance modules to future-proof their operations

    • Construction & Infrastructure: Auzmor content helped teams evolve from basic OSHA training to digital tool fluency and real-time hazard detection

    These use cases demonstrate why Auzmor’s content model works: it meets compliance needs while introducing new capabilities that align with where industries are going. The marketplace now makes that approach scalable, flexible, and accessible to any organization seeking to modernize its workforce.

    Strategic Roadmap Aligns with AI Evolution

    Auzmor’s development timeline reflects the accelerating pace of workplace AI adoption:

    • Q3-Q4 2025: AI-verified micro-credentials and blockchain-based skill verification

    • 2026: Predictive workforce development using advanced AI to anticipate skill needs

    • 2027: AI-powered peer learning networks and virtual mentorship programs

    The platform is fully SCORM/AICC/xAPI compatible, supporting seamless integration with existing enterprise systems while providing advanced features like AI-driven simulations, virtual reality training modules, gamified learning experiences, and comprehensive compliance tracking with automated reporting.

    We’re creating the first truly independent content marketplace built for how people actually learn new skills,” Jose added. “When a warehouse associate learns to work with AI-enabled inventory systems, or a technician takes a course on troubleshooting automated machinery, they’re not just checking compliance boxes. They’re gaining practical skills that directly improve their performance and unlock upward mobility. That’s what the current platforms overlook: the alignment between what training covers and what the future of work actually demands.

    About Auzmor

    Founded in 2017, Auzmor empowers mid-market and enterprise clients across North America with Auzmor Learn and Auzmor Office. The company’s independent learning marketplace addresses the critical gap in modern skills training left by outdated content providers, supporting HR, L&D, and operations teams in preparing workforces for continuous technological change.

  • Cool Roof Rebates in Los Angeles Help Lower Roofing Costs and Cut Energy Bills

    Cool Roof Rebates in Los Angeles Help Lower Roofing Costs and Cut Energy Bills

    New Incentives Make Energy-Efficient Roofing More Affordable for Homeowners and Businesses Across LA

    Jul. 21, 2025 / PRZen / LOS ANGELES — As part of California’s Title 24 energy efficiency standards, cool roofs are now required for most new and renovated buildings — and Los Angeles homeowners and businesses can get rebates to help cover the cost.

    What’s a Cool Roof?

    Cool roofs are designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than traditional roofing. While older asphalt roofs can hit 190°F on a hot day, cool roofs use reflective coatings or materials that keep surfaces up to 50°F cooler.

    This not only helps reduce indoor temperatures but can also cut air conditioning usage by up to 40%, leading to significantly lower energy bills — especially during peak summer months.
    https://hullbrothersroofing.com/hull-brothers-roofing-experts-los-angeles/#/showcases/126064

    Rebates and Long-Term Savings

    The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) offers rebates of $0.20 to $0.80 per square foot for eligible cool roof installations. According to David Jacot, LADWP’s Director of Efficiency Solutions, these rebates are meant to help offset the initial cost and make energy-efficient upgrades more accessible.

    Buildings typically see energy savings of around 20%, and many property owners recover their investment in just a few years. In some cases, reduced cooling loads even allow for smaller HVAC systems, saving money upfront on equipment.

    More Than Just Energy Savings

    Cool roofs can also extend the lifespan of your roof by protecting it from UV damage and temperature-related wear and tear — reducing how often you need to re-roof.

    Culver City recently upgraded several municipal buildings, including the police department, with help from Hull Brothers Roofing. “We’ve seen improved comfort, better performance, and saved on future maintenance,” said a City Public Works official. Hull Brothers has been Culver City’s go-to roofing contractor since 2003.

    Widespread Adoption

    To date, LADWP’s program has supported over 700,000 square feet of residential cool roofs. Major commercial retailers like Target and Walmart have made cool roofs standard, and tech giants like Apple and IBM are adopting the technology across their facilities.

    Preparing for a Warmer Future

    “As LA heats up, cool roofs will play a bigger role in keeping buildings livable and efficient,” said David Fink of Climate Resolve, a nonprofit working on climate solutions in Southern California.

    Ali Hasham Launches Revenue Optics to Help B2B Companies Build AI-Enabled Inside Sales Teams That Drive Real Growth

    Jul. 21, 2025 / PRZen / MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The demand from B2B companies to modernize their go-to-market approach is surging — and inside sales is no longer a support function. It’s now a frontline engine for customer acquisition, retention, and expansion. To meet this demand, Ali Hasham, a proven commercial leader with a track record of building three highly successful inside sales teams across multi-billion dollar distributors, has launched Revenue Optics — a consulting firm focused exclusively on helping B2B distributors and industrial companies design, build, and scale AI-enabled inside sales organizations.

    Since 2020, Hasham has been engaged with inside sales transformations for some of the largest distributors in North America. He built outbound inside teams that supported hundreds of branches, national accounts, and global programs by — delivering measurable growth and evolving legacy field sales models into scalable, digital-first commercial engines.

    “After building and scaling high-performing inside sales teams from scratch, I saw a clear opportunity to help other distributors do the same,” said Ali Hasham, Founder & CEO of Revenue Optics. “Now I’m doing it from the outside by guiding companies on how to use AI in their inside sales teams to grow faster and deliver consistent results.”

    At one of his companies, Hasham deployed Proton.ai, a generative AI platform purpose-built for distribution. The tool equipped reps with real-time customer insights, predictive product recommendations, and intelligent next-best-action guidance to — enable smarter, faster, and more targeted outbound sales calls.

    “Distributors are under pressure from shrinking margins, rising customer demands, and outdated sales models that limit growth,” said Ali Hasham, Founder and CEO of Revenue Optics. “A proactive inside sales team coupled with AI gives the visibility and focus they need to respond faster, prioritize the right accounts, and uncover opportunities they’d otherwise miss. When inside sales is set up to do this well, it becomes one of the most powerful levers distributors have to drive growth.”

    Revenue Optics partners with private equity firms and mid-market B2B distributors to stand up inside sales teams that are proactive growth drivers instead of reactive order-takers. The firm brings deep expertise in team design, outbound strategy, CRM and AI integration, and go-to-market execution tailored specifically to the B2B distribution landscape.
