VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 5, 2025 / CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (“CoTec” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its investment, Ceibo Inc. (“Ceibo”), has achieved a significant milestone with the successful production of copper cathodes at a demonstration plant in partnership with Chilean copper producer Compañía Minera San Gerónimo (“CMSG”). The achievement validates the significant progress Ceibo’s proprietary copper sulfide leaching technology has achieved and demonstrates its potential to revolutionize copper production. For more information on Ceibo’s announcement, please visit: Ceibo Successfully Launches Copper Production at Compañía Minera San Gerónimo (CMSG).

The demonstration plant, constructed at CMSG’s mine in northern Chile, began construction in February 2025 and delivered its first copper cathodes just three months later. The plant has operated continuously since commissioning, showcasing the speed, reliability, and scalability of Ceibo’s leaching process. This process integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, enabling faster and more efficient copper recovery than conventional methods, while unlocking resources once considered too challenging or uneconomical to process.

Julian Treger, CEO of CoTec, commented: “We are excited to see Ceibo’s technology successfully produce copper cathodes at their demo plant. This achievement is a testament to the quality, strength and dedication of the Ceibo team and underscores the transformative potential of their technology in the copper sector. Global copper supply is critical to the energy transition, Ceibo’s approach aligns with CoTec’s strategy to invest in technologies which accelerate critical mineral production and deliver early revenue. CoTec is actively exploring joint venture opportunities to identify operating assets where Ceibo’s technology could be deployed, further demonstrating CoTec’s commitment to accelerating the commercialization and global impact of this breakthrough technology.”

Ceibo’s advanced leaching technology leverages cutting-edge chemistry, data analytics, and AI-driven modeling to enhance copper recovery from primary sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite. By enabling copper extraction from ores previously considered too difficult to process on-site, Ceibo’s solution addresses the industry’s shift from oxide to sulfide ores and supports a more efficient, lower carbon production process.

If scaling is successful, CoTec believes that Ceibo’s technology will deliver significant economic and environmental benefits, including faster project timelines, lower operating costs, and reduced environmental footprints. These advantages could fundamentally reshape copper production globally and help meet the growing demand for copper in the green economy.

CoTec participated in Ceibo’s Series B financing round in 2022, joining a consortium of leading mining-focused investors, including BHP Ventures, Orion Industrial Ventures, and Unearth Capital, alongside existing investors Khosla Ventures and Aurus Ventures. In total, Ceibo raised over US$30 million in that round to advance its technology towards commercialization.

In November 2024, Ceibo announced it had partnered with Glencore’s Lomas Bayas mining company to deploy Ceibo’s proprietary leaching technologies.

NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / James McGraw: A Life Freed by Storytelling

There’s something disarming about James McGraw’s honesty. Maybe it’s how casually he reflects on hardship. Maybe it’s the way he admits to things most people try to forget-like eating mud as a child, working for two pieces of bubble gum, or wearing the sleeves from a long-sleeve shirt on his feet, held up with rubber bands, just to feel like he fit in.

This isn’t a man interested in impressing anyone. He’s not chasing a legacy. He’s just telling the truth the way he remembers it.

For McGraw, remembering is liberation.

Born Into Struggle, Raised With Grit

James McGraw grew up in Fairfield County, South Carolina, on land that still carried the scars of the past. He was born in a wooden shack near the old quarry, where his dad worked for wages that barely fed them. And yet, this wasn’t “history” for McGraw-it was daily life.

In his words: “Although I was not literally a slave, I possessed a mentality akin to that of a person who is not truly free.”

That idea of mental enslavement runs deep through his reflections. He speaks of riding in the back seats of white families’ cars, eating from their porches, laughing at jokes that weren’t funny-just to stay safe. He remembers the quiet weight of being tolerated, not welcomed.

What makes McGraw’s story resonate isn’t just the hardship. It’s the clarity with which he sees it and the humility with which he tells it.

Ask him what got him through, and he’ll tell you: prayers. Not loud ones. Silent ones. The kind whispered by parents who were too poor to protect him from everything but still believed in a God who could.

“My parents are long gone,” he writes in Slave No More II, “but I believe their prayers for me are still working in my favor today.”

This isn’t a grand declaration of faith. It’s quieter than that. More lived-in. Like so much of his story, it’s more about endurance than certainty. Faith wasn’t something he put on display-it was what kept him moving.

The Weight of Being Seen

If McGraw’s childhood was shaped by survival, his early adulthood was defined by a kind of invisibility. He worked hard, but opportunities came slowly, if at all. He was dismissed, overlooked, and, in some cases, flat-out mistreated.

One memory in particular stands out: a bounced paycheck, written by a white employer to his father for a week’s wages. But when the check bounced, it was McGraw-not the employer-whom the police came to arrest.

It was only thanks to the intervention of a local white woman his mother worked for that the arrest was avoided. “I started grinning from ear to ear,” he recalls, “because I knew it was all over now. These were rich white folk, and when they spoke, everybody listened.”

Moments like that are scattered throughout his life-not just as reminders of injustice, but as markers of just how tightly woven those power dynamics were.

James McGraw didn’t set out to become a writer. In fact, he’s the first to say he doesn’t see himself as one. Slave No More, his first book, was more of a test than anything else. Would anyone care?

But they did. Friends, family, and strangers told him his story mattered. They told him to keep going. So he did.

Slave No More II picks up where the first left off, moving from his early years into adulthood. It’s unvarnished, deeply personal, and sometimes jarringly frank. He writes the way people talk when they trust you-with no agenda, just memories that have waited too long to be shared.

What’s striking about the book isn’t the prose or the polish. It’s the feeling that someone is finally saying out loud what many have lived but never put into words.

Life After the Plantation

McGraw never strayed far from where he was born. He built his home on the very land he once called “the plantation.” That’s not a metaphor. It’s the literal place where he once labored-and where he now lives freely.

It’s symbolic, sure. But it’s also practical. He made a life where he could. And in time, he made that life meaningful.

He worked at plants and factories, took supervisory roles, and lost jobs when the economy turned. Eventually, after a third plant closure, he invested everything-retirement savings included-into a franchise. It nearly bankrupted him. But a contract with a major university saved the business. From there, things changed.

He later launched a janitorial company and became what he once never thought possible: self-employed, self-sufficient, and a mentor to others.

McGraw’s sense of success isn’t about money or recognition. It’s in the fact that his children are both business owners. That they come to him for advice. That he was able to provide something more than what he had.

He writes about becoming a father, buying his first suit, and fixing up his car so it would stand out in town-not because he wanted attention, but because, for the first time, he felt like he had something to show for his struggle.

And even in those moments, he never forgets the people still stuck in cycles he escaped. His concern about generational disconnect is palpable. He talks about how family reunions used to matter. How children once belonged to a village, not just a household.

“It takes a village to raise a child,” he says. “But that village starts with the immediate family. And without those values, the risks grow.”

Why His Story Matters Now

James McGraw doesn’t preach. He doesn’t moralize. But read between the lines, and his story is a call to listen-especially to those who don’t often speak in public.

He’s part of a generation that lived through change but didn’t always benefit from it. His reflections carry weight because they’re lived, not theorized.

In an age where voices are everywhere, McGraw reminds us of the power of the quiet ones. The ones who observe more than they comment. The ones who survive more than they shine.

His story isn’t a lesson. It’s a life.

Not Just a Memoir, But a Mirror

There are no perfect resolutions in Slave No More II. No dramatic triumphs. No clean break from the past. Just a man still reckoning with what it meant to grow up poor, Black, and unseen in the American South.

But maybe that’s what makes it powerful. McGraw doesn’t try to wrap things up. He tells it like it was. And in doing so, he offers something rare: the sense that being heard-really heard-can be its own kind of freedom.

So no, James McGraw isn’t trying to sell you anything. But if you take the time to listen, he just might remind you of something you forgot you needed to hear.

New facility for dedicated large volume U.S. motor production

ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC), a U.S.-based manufacturer of drones and NDAA-compliant components, today announced it has signed a lease for a 17,000-square-foot drone motor production facility in Orlando, Florida. The factory will significantly expand the company’s domestic manufacturing capabilities. Motor deliveries from this facility are scheduled to begin in September 2025.

The facility is designed to support the production of high-performance brushless motors for First-Person View (FPV) and commercial drones. Initially, it will focus on three core motor sizes: 2207, 2807, and 3220. In-house winding capabilities will support both standard and custom KV ratings and hybrid workcells will allow for both high-volume and small-batch production. The space is located near the company’s existing headquarters and is an expansion of Unusual Machines’ Orlando campus. The proximity to Rotor Riot’s technical team and pilot community allows for rapid product feedback and alignment with end-user needs. The production system is designed to eventual scale to monthly production volumes exceeding 50,000 motors.

“Our new facility will enable us to build at scale, while also supporting customer-specific variants through flexible workcells,” said Brad Mello, Vice President of Manufacturing. “We’re implementing best-in-class practices from day one – lean layouts, digital traceability, and automated quality control – to ensure we can deliver reliable motors at volume with the precision and accountability required for government and commercial customers.”

Unusual Machines is pursuing a dual-sourcing strategy for critical components such as magnets, bearings, and stators to insulate against supply chain disruptions. The company plans to offer both Made-in-USA and globally sourced motor variants to meet different regulatory and customer needs.

“This factory is a major milestone in our strategy to rapidly onshore drone component manufacturing,” said Allan Evans, CEO of Unusual Machines. “To go fast, we are doing things in parallel and have already placed the equipment orders. We are solving one of the major pain points in the American drone supply chain.”

About Unusual Machines

Unusual Machines manufactures and sells drone components and drones across a diversified brand portfolio, which includes Fat Shark, the leader in FPV (first-person view) ultra-low latency video goggles for drone pilots. The Company also retails small, acrobatic FPV drones and equipment directly to consumers through the curated Rotor Riot e-commerce store. With a changing regulatory environment, Unusual Machines seeks to be a dominant Tier-1 parts supplier to the fast-growing multi-billion-dollar U.S. drone industry. According to Fact.MR, the global drone accessories market is currently valued at $17.5 billion and is set to top $115 billion by 2032.

KANSAS CITY, MO / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / What if the greatest love story you’ll ever live is the one you write with yourself? In a world full of expectations, author Angie Lickliter invites women to pause, reflect upon themselves, and bravely confront the monsters that have held them back. Finding Her isn’t just a memoir, but a moving life story for women ready to face their pain, rewrite their story, and step into the life they were meant to live.

In her debut memoir, Finding Her, Angie Lickliter shares the raw, unfiltered story of her journey through chronic illness, ​​self-doubt, and healing. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 27, she has spent decades navigating a battlefield of physical pain, emotional isolation, and inner chaos. Her story is not one of overnight transformation, but of deep work, relentless self-discovery, and finally, self-acceptance.

“I didn’t just write Finding Her, I lived it,” says Lickliter. “Page by page, I faced the monsters that once defined me: shame, heartbreak, the battle with my body, and the silence of not feeling enough. This book is my victory. It’s a message to every woman that healing is possible. You can rise. You can rewrite your story. And you can find her, because she’s still in there.”

Published on June 2 by Landon Hail Press, Finding Her quickly rose to become the #6 New Release in Women’s Personal Growth and a Top New Release in Women’s Spiritual Growth. It also ranked #2 in New Releases for Family & Personal Growth. Book cover design by Rich Johnson of Spectacle Photography, with photography by Angelli Nguyen and creative direction by Samantha Joy.

Finding Her is more than a memoir; it’s a roadmap for anyone who has ever felt broken, invisible, or unsure of where to turn next. Through raw storytelling and deep honesty, Angie offers her readers a gripping account of her personal battles with the inner “monsters” that once threatened to define her.

Designed to lead readers through Angie’s journey from start to finish, Finding Her gives readers a firsthand account of the encounters with her monsters, who all represent a fear or shame Angie felt at one point in time. Along the way, the readers also meet the author’s “allies”, who are unexpected people, practices, and moments of clarity that helped her survive. The book concludes with an empowering collection of “weapons” – or tools – like meditation, yoga, journaling, and more, that helped Angie become stronger and more self-aware after every battle.

This book was written to empower you, the reader, to face your own monsters with courage and clarity. While everyone’s monsters are different, they all whisper doubts, reinforce patterns, and keep you stuck in shadows. Angie’s story, with the tools that she provides, proves that with the right support and inner work, healing isn’t just possible, it’s inevitable.

“Angie’s bravery to shed the monsters that once shaped her identity is the permission every woman needs to overcome a false sense of self,” says Samantha Joy, Editor-in-Chief at Landon Hail Press. “Finding Her encourages you to embark on the journey back to who you were before the world told you who to be.”

Author Angie Lickliter shines beautifully as she is photographed by Angelli Nguyen. Creative direction by Samantha Joy.

For over 25 years, Angie has lived with Crohn’s disease, which has greatly influenced her own personal battles with food, alcohol, and toxic relationships. Angie brings both vulnerability and wisdom to the pages of her memoir. Her work as a certified holistic wellness and cannabis coach, along with her leadership of countless support groups, fuels her mission to empower women to reclaim their health, identity, and power.

This summer, Finding Her dares women to slow down, look inward, and ask the bigger questions in order to discover their true selves.

“I wrote Finding Her to tell my story,” Angie says. “I built Finding Her to help you rewrite yours.”

Dedicated to creating a sacred and transparent space for writers, Landon Hail Press allows authors to own the creative direction of their book and their brand. LHP books have been sold on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, bookshop.org, and more, and featured in major publications like People.com.

Advanced Technology Means More Scrutiny for High-Risk Returns – Clear Start Tax Helps Taxpayers Stay Audit-Ready

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / The IRS is entering a new era of enforcement, and artificial intelligence is leading the charge. According to Clear Start Tax, a national tax resolution firm, the agency has introduced AI-powered systems that automatically flag returns showing signs of risk, inaccuracy, or fraud. For 2025, that means more scrutiny and faster audit selection across the board.

With expanded funding and new digital tools, the IRS has already begun targeting returns with high deductions, cryptocurrency transactions, inconsistent income reporting, or suspicious business filings. These systems allow the agency to audit more efficiently – and with far less human intervention than in the past.

What IRS AI Is Flagging in 2025

Clear Start Tax explains that the new algorithms are designed to detect patterns that deviate from statistical norms or raise compliance red flags. While the IRS won’t publicly release its exact formula, these are some of the most common triggers:

• High Schedule C losses or underreported business income

• Large charitable deductions that don’t align with reported income

• Crypto transactions without matching 1099 or capital gains reporting

• Round-number deductions or expenses that suggest estimates instead of documentation

• Earned Income or Child Tax Credit claims without supporting data

“AI is changing how the IRS identifies audit risks,” said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “Returns are now evaluated using algorithms that can flag potential red flags faster and more broadly than traditional review methods – which means even small errors can have big consequences.”

Why This Matters for Everyday Taxpayers

Clear Start Tax warns that these audits aren’t limited to the ultra-wealthy. In fact, the expanded tech is now catching mistakes and inconsistencies across a wider range of taxpayers – especially self-employed individuals, gig workers, and those using tax software without professional oversight.

Even honest mistakes can trigger time-consuming audits, penalties, or enforcement. That’s why it’s critical to file with accurate documentation and clear explanations for any unusual entries.

How Clear Start Tax Helps Clients Stay Audit-Ready

As the IRS increasingly leans on automated audit selection, Clear Start Tax helps clients stay ahead of potential scrutiny. The firm offers pre-filing reviews to spot red flags, ensures documentation supports all income and deductions, and steps in to respond to audit notices when needed. Strategic case handling, direct IRS communication, and compliance coaching are all part of how Clear Start Tax protects its clients through an evolving enforcement landscape.

“With the IRS automating its audit processes, the margin for error is shrinking,” added the Head of Client Solutions. “We help taxpayers understand what the IRS is really looking for – and prepare accordingly.”
