VANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Galiano Gold Inc. ("Galiano" or the "Company") GAU GAU is pleased to announce that it has terminated its gold purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement") with Red Kite Opportunities Master Fund Limited ("Red Kite") for total cash consideration of US$13 million . Under the Agreement, the Company had been required to sell 100% of gold production from the Asanko Gold Mine (the "AGM"), up to a maximum of 2.2 million ounces, at a spot price selected by Red Kite during a nine-day quotational period following shipment of gold from the AGM. At the time of termination, the AGM had delivered 1,706,407 gold ounces to Red Kite under the Agreement.

"With the Company's strong, debt-free balance sheet, we are pleased to have the financial flexibility to terminate this legacy offtake agreement as part of our prudent capital allocation strategy," said Matt Badylak , President and Chief Executive Officer of Galiano. "This strategic investment allows the AGM to sell gold at market prices, delivering meaningful value as we advance our business plan." About Galiano Gold Inc.

It's rivalry week in college football and some of the participants are willing to bleed for their respective teams, literally. Senior defensive assistant coach Chuck Cecil of the Arizona Wildcats is the current leader in the clubhouse in terms of blood shed for his squad on Saturday, Nov. 30, after a perplexing interaction with one of his players on the sideline. Cecil, who played defensive back for the university between 1984-87, was so pumped up before the game that he headbutted current Wildcats defensive back Owen Gross several times before the game. In a video captured by Fox Sports and posted to social media, Cecil can be seen banging his bare forehead into Gross's helmet until he begins to bleed profusely. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Arizona allowed rival Arizona State to score 35 points in the first half of the in-state rivalry game, which led to some jokes made at Cecil's expense. If I made myself bleed by repeatedly mashing my head into a helmet and my defense proceeded to give up 35 in the first half I’m not sure I’m on the sideline for the second half https://t.co/EdNk6olDNj "If I made myself bleed by repeatedly mashing my head into a helmet and my defense proceeded to give up 35 in the first half, I'm not sure I'm on the sideline for the second half," Brad Spielberger, formerly of Pro Football Focus, posted to X . The Wildcats entered the contest 4-7 on the season and won't play in a bowl game this year. What was left for Arizona was to play spoiler to the 9-2 Sun Devils, who have a chance to make the 12-team field for the College Football Playoffs , though an upset doesn't appear likely now after a 35-0 first half score.

The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with injuries in the secondary, which have influenced a roster move ahead of their Week 13 primetime matchup with the Buffalo Bills. San Francisco on Saturday promoted cornerback Nick McCloud to the active roster. McCloud takes the place of wide receiver Ronnie Bell, who was waived on Friday. He does so amid injuries to Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green, the former ruled out with a knee injury while rookie Green is questionable with a neck injury. Meanwhile, the 49ers have elevated linebacker Jalen Graham and offensive tackle Sebastian Gutierrez to their gameday roster for the Bills clash. Graham's elevation comes with Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) ruled out for the Bills game, while Gutierrez gives the Niners extra depth at tackle amid Trent Williams' absence for a second successive game. It means Gutierrez is in line to feature in only his second NFL game, having made his debut for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022.

Plus the flexible silicone shape means they won’t miss a spot of full lip and upper nose coverage. $99.00 $99 With less mess than a French press, but just as much flavor, pour-over coffee sets have never been more popular. This Stagg set nails the art of pour-over thanks to a vacuum insulated body, sleek, hole-patterned dripper, and steep slope. It’s designed to extract the most flavor out of your grounds possible, so you get a bright, clean cup of filter coffee every time. Brewing a barista-worthy cup couldn’t be easier — and they won’t need to Google “nearby coffee shops” to get one, either. $345 Thanks to the likes of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter era, even certified city slickers are joining in on the cowboy boot trend .

VANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Galiano Gold Inc. ("Galiano" or the "Company") GAU GAU is pleased to announce that it has terminated its gold purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement") with Red Kite Opportunities Master Fund Limited ("Red Kite") for total cash consideration of US$13 million . Under the Agreement, the Company had been required to sell 100% of gold production from the Asanko Gold Mine (the "AGM"), up to a maximum of 2.2 million ounces, at a spot price selected by Red Kite during a nine-day quotational period following shipment of gold from the AGM.

It's rivalry week in college football and some of the participants are willing to bleed for their respective teams, literally. Senior defensive assistant coach Chuck Cecil of the Arizona Wildcats is the current leader in the clubhouse in terms of blood shed for his squad on Saturday, Nov. 30, after a perplexing interaction with one of his players on the sideline. Cecil, who played defensive back for the university between 1984-87, was so pumped up before the game that he headbutted current Wildcats defensive back Owen Gross several times before the game. In a video captured by Fox Sports and posted to social media, Cecil can be seen banging his bare forehead into Gross's helmet until he begins to bleed profusely. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Arizona allowed rival Arizona State to score 35 points in the first half of the in-state rivalry game, which led to some jokes made at Cecil's expense. If I made myself bleed by repeatedly mashing my head into a helmet and my defense proceeded to give up 35 in the first half I’m not sure I’m on the sideline for the second half https://t.co/EdNk6olDNj "If I made myself bleed by repeatedly mashing my head into a helmet and my defense proceeded to give up 35 in the first half, I'm not sure I'm on the sideline for the second half," Brad Spielberger, formerly of Pro Football Focus, posted to X . The Wildcats entered the contest 4-7 on the season and won't play in a bowl game this year. What was left for Arizona was to play spoiler to the 9-2 Sun Devils, who have a chance to make the 12-team field for the College Football Playoffs , though an upset doesn't appear likely now after a 35-0 first half score.

The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with injuries in the secondary, which have influenced a roster move ahead of their Week 13 primetime matchup with the Buffalo Bills. San Francisco on Saturday promoted cornerback Nick McCloud to the active roster. McCloud takes the place of wide receiver Ronnie Bell, who was waived on Friday. He does so amid injuries to Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green, the former ruled out with a knee injury while rookie Green is questionable with a neck injury. Meanwhile, the 49ers have elevated linebacker Jalen Graham and offensive tackle Sebastian Gutierrez to their gameday roster for the Bills clash. Graham's elevation comes with Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) ruled out for the Bills game, while Gutierrez gives the Niners extra depth at tackle amid Trent Williams' absence for a second successive game. It means Gutierrez is in line to feature in only his second NFL game, having made his debut for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022.

This is the closest you’ll get to gifting someone a big fluffy cloud for their home, and it’s, dare we say, better than a bean bag. Made with repurposed foam (never beans or beads), they can either pair it with a wooden base and turn it into a genuinely supportive lounge chair, or just throw it on the ground and us it as giant floor pillow for binge-watching TV, napping, etc. $469.00 $469 This 236-bulb LED mask by CurrentBody may look a little terrifying, but it makes a stellar gift for anyone interested in testing out the power of red light therapy to help get a glowing complexion.
