Evergold Corp's CEO Kevin Keough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide and update regarding recent developments on the DEM property in central British Columbia. He announced the completion of a high-resolution heliborne magnetic survey, which revealed a significant new target, designated as DEM2. This newly identified target shares similarities in scale and geophysical characteristics with the DEM1 porphyry prospect.

According to Keough, DEM2 is situated approximately 4 kilometers southeast of the DEM1 target, separated by a granitic intrusion. The decision to conduct the survey followed a successful 3-hole reconnaissance drill program carried out late last year on the DEM1 prospect. This program targeted a multi-element geochemical anomaly in soils overlaying strong magnetic, IP chargeability, and resistivity anomalies.

The company plans to provide further details on its plans for the 2024 field season, which may include drilling activities to follow up on the results obtained from the previous drill program conducted last fall. This demonstrates Evergold Corp's commitment to advancing exploration efforts and potentially unlocking the mineral potential of the DEM property.

HIVE Digital Technologies, a prominent Bitcoin miner is at the forefront of the Bitcoin mining sector with operations in Sweden and Iceland. Frank Holmes, co-founder and chairman of HIVE, emphasised the role of Bitcoin in the digital financial transformation, highlighting the significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs such as those from VanEck and BlackRock.

Holmes underscored the decentralised nature of the Bitcoin ecosystem, powered by 17,000 nodes worldwide, offering transaction validation at a fraction of traditional banking costs. He discussed the upcoming Bitcoin halving in April, its implications for the mining sector, and Hive's commitment to mining "green coins" using renewable energy sources.

Despite challenges from the discontinuation of Intel's ASIC chips for Bitcoin mining, Hive remains innovative, focusing on energy efficiency and high-performance computing (HPC) to pivot towards AI and other high-margin business models. With Ethereum's shift away from mining, Hive is adapting by expanding its AI capabilities and hedging strategies to maintain profitability.

Holmes also highlighted Hive's significant Bitcoin holdings and their strategies for managing market volatility. The conversation touched on regulatory perceptions in Sweden and Iceland, Hive's operational efficiencies, and the broader implications of Bitcoin's decentralisation amidst increasing institutional investments.

Finally, Holmes shared insights into the current Bitcoin market dynamics and the potential for Bitcoin as a hedge against inflationary pressures, comparing its investment appeal to that of gold.

The FTSE 100 moved upwards early on, as an albeit quiet day for the City got underway.

The big news though was that energy prices will fall to a two-year low in April, thanks to a recent drop in wholesale costs, according to Ofgem. This offers a positive prospect after consumer confidence was revealed by GfK on Friday to have taken a hit between January and February.

Among companies, Standard Chartered was among the few big names reporting, with shares in the bank skyrocketing on news of inflated buybacks on a jump in profits.

Elsewhere, things looked more stark for Vice Media, which is reportedly poised to lay off hundreds of jobs amid financial struggles.

And finally, Ticketmaster owner Live Nation Entertainment said demand for live events remained robust over the holiday period in its final-quarter report.

OptionsDesk's Sebastian Blanco discusses the latest earnings outcomes of NVIDIA and Rolls Royce, highlighting their significant share price increases following the announcements.

NVIDIA reported Q4 revenues of $22.1 billion, surpassing analysts' estimates of $20.5 billion, with earnings per share at $5.16, exceeding expectations by 11.2%. This resulted in a pre-market share price surge of over 13%, potentially adding more than $230 billion to its market capitalisation and approaching a $2 trillion valuation. The company has become one of the top performers in the S&P 500 index this year, with the CEO indicating strong forward guidance due to the surging global demand for AI technologies.

Rolls Royce also experienced a notable share price increase of over 11%, with shares reaching 366 pence. The company reported operating profits of £1.6 billion, a significant rise from the previous year's £652 million, and free cash flow of £1.3 billion. This improvement was attributed to a transformation programme led by their CEO, who formerly served as BP's Chief Operations Executive.

The programme's success in cost-cutting and improved pricing across its civil aerospace, defence, and power system segments has led to a doubling of operating margin and return on capital, driving the share price up by 100% over the past year. Despite previous concerns over valuation, the latest earnings have led to new price targets exceeding four pounds per share.
