MyCreds® Launches Mobile Trades Credential Solution to Support Interprovincial Labour Mobility
Developed in partnership with MATTR , and built on the success of the Virtual Skills Passport project funded by the Ontario government and supported by both MATTR and Digitary (now Instructure), the MyCreds digital wallet and verifier app leverages MDOC/MDL technology, the same secure, standards-based tools being adopted globally for trusted digital identity and credential exchange. The solution enables:
Secure mobile access to verified trade credentials
Real-time, onsite verification by inspectors, employers, and regulators
Cross-provincial recognition through a trusted issuer and verifier network
A fully bilingual platform supporting the credential holder and worker lifecycle
"Built for mobility, designed for trades — that's our commitment with this addition to the established national network," says Jodi Tavares, Executive Director of ARUCC MyCreds | MesCertif. "Canada's tradespeople deserve a system that recognizes their skills no matter where they work. This technology helps get them on the job faster, without being bogged down by paperwork or fragmented systems. It's a strong addition to the MyCreds National Network, that has been a trusted enabler of learner mobility for the past four years."
While the initial launch will take place in Nova Scotia by Fall 2025, the solution is designed to scale nationwide, supporting regulators, apprenticeship and safety authorities, and trade workers coast to coast.
The initiative directly aligns with priorities announced in the recent federal Speech from the Throne , which emphasized reducing internal trade barriers and facilitating worker mobility to meet national labour demands. MyCreds' new digital solution stands as a practical, proven approach to making that vision real.
As Canada's only bilingual, non profit national credential wallet and digital document exchange network, MyCreds is uniquely positioned to support this transition. With over 150 colleges, universities, and government agencies already issuing through the network, MyCreds brings experience, scale, and trust to the trades sector.

Laramide Granted Mineral Development Licence for Westmoreland Uranium Project
TORONTO, July 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Laramide Resources Ltd. ("Laramide" or the "Company") (TSX: LAM) (ASX: LAM) (OTCQX: LMRXF) is pleased to announce that its 100%-owned Australian subsidiary, Tackle Resources Pty Ltd ("Tackle"), has received approval of a Mineral Development Licence ("MDL") for the Westmoreland Uranium Project in Queensland, Australia. The approval of the MDL provides a strong foundation for Laramide to advance project permitting and to undertake mining feasibility studies, metallurgical testing and marketing, as well as environmental, engineering and design studies required to support a future Mining Lease ("ML") application. This approval represents a key regulatory milestone and a formal recognition by the Queensland Government that the Westmoreland Project can be evaluated for its development potential. The MDL was granted following the registration of an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) with the Gangalidda & Garawa Native Title Aboriginal Corporation (GGNTAC), announced November 29, 2022 1 under which all parties consented to the MDL's issuance. Marc Henderson, President and CEO of Laramide, commented: "The grant of the MDL is a significant milestone for the Westmoreland Project. It provides regulatory confirmation that the Project hosts a defined and economically significant resource capable of supporting long-term development. Furthermore, it provides the company with a security of tenure that allows us to continue with advanced mining studies which in turn maintains our commitment to significant investment in regional Northwest Queensland. "With the MDL now in hand, Laramide is excited for the opportunity to expedite further evaluation of the asset; we believe this asset can play a material role in providing security of supply for western nuclear utilities as they confront the now widely acknowledged structural supply deficit of uranium that extends well into the 2030's." Permitting and a formal Mining Lease application are the next critical steps in the advancement of Westmoreland. The Queensland Government's current stated policy is that it will not grant a mining lease for the purpose of mining uranium, however an administrative change in policy by the Government could direct the Mines Department of Queensland to allow an ML application to be accepted for a primary uranium mine. The current policy was initiated by the previous Labor government, which held power for almost a decade before the last election in October 2024 when Queensland elected a Liberal National ("LNP") majority government. The approved MDL area includes all of Westmoreland's defined uranium deposits, Redtree, Huarabagoo, Junnagunna and Long Pocket. Three of the deposits (Redtree, Huarabagoo, Junnagunna) were used for a 2016 economic analysis ("Scoping Study") 2, which while now not current under NI 43-101, had provided the foundation for the MDL application. The MDL area incorporates conceptual locations for key project infrastructure. The MDL enables Laramide to initiate a range of advanced work programs, including feasibility-level engineering, environmental baseline assessments, geotechnical and site layout planning. Qualified/Competent Person The information in this announcement relating to Mineral Resource Estimates is based on information compiled or reviewed by Mr. Rhys Davies, a contractor to the Company. Mr. Davies is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves', and is a "Qualified Person" as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Mr. Davies consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. This news release has been reviewed and approved by a senior executive officer of the Company. About Laramide Resources Ltd. Laramide is focused on exploring and developing high-quality uranium assets in Tier-1 uranium jurisdictions. The company's portfolio comprises predominantly advanced uranium projects in districts with historical production or superior geological prospectivity. The assets have been carefully chosen for their size and production potential, and the two large development projects are considered to be late-stage, low-technical risk projects. As well, Laramide has expanded its pipeline with strategic exploration in Kazakhstan where the company is exploring over 5,500 km 2 of the prolific Chu-Sarysu Basin for world class roll-front deposits which are amenable to in-situ recovery.
