New to The Street's TV Host Jane King, from the Nasdaq MarketSite studio interviews Kimberly Ann, Founder, CEO, President, and Director of Lahontan Gold Corp. (OTCQB: LGCXF) (TSXV: LG) ($LGCXF). The Company is a junior gold and silver mining exploration entity with its operation in Mineral County, Nevada. Kimberly informs viewers that the Company will soon publish its 11,000 meters of staged drill results on its flagship property the Santa Fe Mine. Additionally, the Company expanded its mineral rights at its Santa Fe West property. A main corporate objective is getting the Santa Fe Mine back into production that produced precious metals from 1988-1992. In Q4 of 2023, management and its geologist anticipate updating its 43-101 resource report with updated calculations giving a more detailed model on the potential ounces available in the ground. A Plan of Operation study is ongoing that will reveal production expectations and environmental impacts when the mine goes into production. The report should be completed in about a year. Kimberly wants to make money for the Company’s shareholders and is determined to keep shareholders fully informed about all aspects of the Company mining operations and be fully transparent. Many don’t realize that gold and silver are also critical metals. For the world to obtain a “Net-Zero” carbon output goal by 2050, all metals including precious metals are key inputs for mankind to achieve the mandate. One of the biggest purchasers of gold is the US Federal Reserve. Since they are buying, perhaps others should consider buying physical gold/silver and even investigate investment possibilities in mining entities like Lahontan Gold Corp.

New to The Street airs its "Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security Segment – The Weekly Hack." Alain Ghiai, an internationally acclaimed internet privacy expert and the CEO of Sekur Private Data, Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) (Sekur®), talks with TV Host and Multi-media Journalist Ana Berry about a 2022 Q4 report about Australia being the largest hacked country in the world. Australia was a "Mad-Hacking" target, probably due to geopolitical issues with China. Alain states that the US is perhaps the most hacked nation in the world, with reports saying that about 9.7 billion accounts were hacked. Even though the US population is about 300 million, many in the US have multiple devices and email accounts which explains the billions of hacks in the US. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an excellent strategy to help prevent hacking. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and hides IP address connections. Unfortunately, some VPN providers track your internet traffic and sell that data. The best solution is SekurVPN, a new product launched by Sekur in April 2023, hosted in Switzerland on the Company's private servers. With a Swiss VPN IP address and military encryption, end-user can virtually eliminate their internet tracks. Sekur never asks for phone numbers or other information, so when you log onto the SekurVPN, you are invisible to those trying to steal your data.
