Guaranteed Removals Supports Burlington Food Bank with Local Donation
Staff at Guaranteed Removals contributed $1,000 CAD and 37 pounds of non-perishable food to the Burlington Food Bank, joining the wider community in supporting those facing food insecurity.
With roots firmly in Burlington, the team made the donation not as a corporate gesture, but as a show of neighbourly care. The rising cost of living continues to affect individuals and families across Canada, with more than 18% of households reporting food insecurity in 2022, according to Statistics Canada.
'We're part of this community,' said Cenk Uzunkaya, CEO of Guaranteed Removals. 'When we see a growing need, especially one as basic and urgent as food, we do our part, just like any good neighbour would.'
The Burlington Food Bank serves hundreds of local residents every month, and donations like these help ensure families have access to essentials many of us take for granted.
'This kind of giving is about showing up,' said Alyssa Durant, Director of Human Resources. 'It's not complicated, someone needs a hand, and if you can help, you help. That's what this is about.'
Though Guaranteed Removals' day-to-day work focuses on helping people recover from the harm of online misinformation and digital reputational damage, this initiative was less about the internet, and more about the simple power of community care.
Ways to ContributeThe team at Guaranteed Removals encourages everyone, businesses and individuals alike, to take part in supporting their communities:
'You don't need to be in a position of power or wealth to make a difference,' added Uzunkaya. 'Sometimes it's just about doing what you can, where you are.'

Altamira Gold Closes Upsized $5.28 Million Non-Brokered Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 2, 2025) - Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (FSE: T6UP) (OTC Pink: EQTRF) (" Altamira" or the " Company"), is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement, consisting of a total of 52,850,000 units (the " Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,285,000 (the " Offering"). Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of C$0.15 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering. Due to strong investor demand, the Offering was increased from the initial $4 million to $5.28 million. Crescat Capital LLC (" Crescat") and Aura Minerals Inc. (" Aura"), two of the Company's largest shareholders and strategic investors, participated in the private placement. Kevin Smith, CFA, Founder and CEO of Crescat Capital commented, " We are excited about the district-scale potential of this unique gold porphyry system, the first of its kind in Brazil. At this stage, we see it as a fast-growing exploration story, with the deposit showing strong potential to expand quickly through cost-effective drilling. We are happy to support the Company with fresh capital and look forward to the results on the additional drilling planned at the Maria Bonita gold deposit, the Central resource area, and several previously untested porphyry gold targets." In connection with the Offering, the Company paid aggregate cash commission of $19,500, and issued an aggregate of 195,000 finder warrants to certain arm's-length finders. Each finder's warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the Offering for follow-up drilling at the Company's Maria Bonita porphyry gold Resource, the Central Area Mineral Resources, and other targets within the Cajueiro project. Funds will also support additional exploration programs within other projects and be used for general working capital purposes. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on October 31, 2025 under Canadian securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, as applicable. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements. Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101") the Company advises that three subscribers, considered to be "related parties" of the Company by virtue of their each holding more than 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, purchased an aggregate of 41,000,000 Units for gross proceeds of $4,100,000. Each subscription by the related parties of the Company is considered to be a "related party transaction" for purposes of MI 61-101 and TSXV Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation requirements contained in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and the minority shareholder approval requirements contained in section 5.7(1) (a) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on specified markets and the fair market value of the "related party" participation in the Offering does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. About Altamira Gold Corp. The Company is focused on the exploration and development of gold and copper projects within western central Brazil, strategically advancing five projects spanning over 100,000 hectares within the prolific Juruena Gold Belt-an area that has historically yielded over 6 million ounces of placer gold*. The Company's advanced Cajueiro project contains two gold deposits. The central area comprises NI 43-101 resources of 5.66Mt @ 1.02 g/t gold for a total of 185,000 oz in the Indicated Resource category and 12.66Mt @ 1.26 g/t gold for a total of 515,000oz in the Inferred Resource category.

Ongoing exploration and fieldwork at Cajueiro indicate the presence of multiple porphyry gold systems, reinforcing its potential for district-scale development. These hard-rock gold sources align with historical alluvial gold production, highlighting the region's exceptional gold endowment and scalability. With a highly prospective geological setting and a track record of significant discoveries, the Company is well-positioned to unlock further value across its expansive land package. * Juliani, C. et al; Gold in Paleoproterozoic (2.1 to 1.77 Ga) Continental Magmatic Arcs at the Tapajós and Juruena Mineral Provinces (Amazonian Craton,Brazil): A New Frontier for the Exploration of Epithermal-Porphyry and Related Deposits.

Manitoba hikes wholesale markup on cannabis, suggests window-covering rule may change
The price of cannabis is rising in Manitoba after the province's cannabis distributor slapped a higher markup on the products it sells to retailers — an added cost stores are passing down to consumers, in many cases. Retailers buy their cannabis products from Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, the provincially owned distributor, which charges a markup as the wholesaler. That markup was nine per cent, but it increased to 11 per cent on June 1. In an April memo to stores announcing the price hike, the Crown corporation appeared to offer some consolation to retailers by promising to "explore" the idea of removing a rule that forces cannabis stores to cover their windows. Liquor & Lotteries quietly made other changes to its cannabis policies recently, allowing retailers to begin selling marijuana seeds. Customers won't notice a significant price difference on most products after the two percentage point markup increase, said Melanie Bekevich, co-owner of Mistik Cannabis on Winnipeg's Main Street. But she argues it will hurt the industry's efforts to stamp out the illicit market. "We want to be able to compete meaningfully on pricing, as we are subject to so much more taxation and regulatory requirements that cost us a significant amount of money," she said. The other surcharge on cannabis is the excise tax of $1 per gram of flower (75 cents of which goes to the province, and 25 cents to the federal government). Added costs on cannabis Over time, taxes and surcharges have made up a greater share of the price consumers pay, said Bekevich, who is also vice-president of the Retail Cannabis Council of Manitoba. As the number of stores has multiplied since legalization in 2018, the price for cannabis has dropped considerably. The market price per gram has dropped from around $10 to $5 or $6, Bekevich said, but the excise tax remains flat. "Certainly producers and retailers are feeling the hit the greatest," she said. "Government would not feel that." She said making the excise tax a percentage would lower prices for consumers, and in turn take customers away from the illicit market. (Manitoba initially charged a six per cent social responsibility fee as well, but it was later dropped.) In the meantime, the markup increase — the first in Manitoba since legalization — is "going to burden us even further," Bekevich said. Blissful Bloom, one of the newest entrants in the province's cannabis market, opened in Winnipeg's Old St. Vital neighbourhood in April. Co-owner Brendan Swiridjuk is responding to the markup increase by absorbing the increase on some of the cheapest products he sells, such as single gram pre-rolled joints and edibles, but not the rest of his inventory. "I've never had any customers or consumers bring anything up in regards to the slight increases I have had on certain products," he said. "[But] I definitely do notice it when I'm making purchase orders myself, because I'm not making small-quantity purchase orders — these are thousands of dollars, most times." Window covering change could boost safety: owner Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries collected $12.7 million in revenues from cannabis markups in 2023-24, the last year in which audited figures are available. It expects an additional $3 million from the markup increase in the current fiscal year. The Crown corporation hasn't increased its markups on most liquor categories in more than 15 years, except for micro producers. Glen Simard, the minister responsible for Liquor & Lotteries, said the higher markup reflects the growth of a maturing cannabis industry and its contribution to Manitoba's economy, but he didn't explain why the increase is necessary. Simard said the additional revenues will help the province fund social responsibility and law enforcement programs, such as the Winnipeg Police Service's "Don't Drive High" campaign. He said the increase brings Manitoba — with one of the lowest markup and taxation rates in Canada — in line with other provinces. The NDP government suggested it may borrow another practice from elsewhere by changing its policies around window coverings. Currently, cannabis products are prohibited from being visible from the exterior of shops. The April notice to cannabis retailers said Manitoba may relax the requirements "to provide retailers more freedom over their storefronts and create a safer working and shopping environment." Some provinces have scrapped similar rules after worries they endangered staff and led to a rise in crime. Alberta's regulator made a change in 2022 after a "significant rise" in robberies. Swiridjuk said the window coverings work against the welcoming environment he's hoping to create, evidenced by the store's lime green walls and bright lights, and the use of "blissful" in its name. "I want anyone from the kid who just turned 19 to feel welcome in here, to your grandmother, to your parents," said Swiridjuk, who at 23 years old was told by a cannabis official he and his business partner are likely Manitoba's youngest cannabis store owners. Mistik's Bekevich believes an end to window coverings will improve safety. Her employees have used a panic button three times because of issues with a customer, she said, and each time, other customers or police officers could have walked into the store oblivious to the problems inside because the windows were covered up. "You can have many incidents that put people at risk and it's not visible to the exterior," she said. Manitoba increases cannabis markup, considers other changes 5 minutes ago Duration 1:55 The cannabis industry in Manitoba is undergoing some changes as the province's cannabis distributor slaps a higher markup on the products it sells to retailers, while the province studies whether the rule forcing cannabis stores to cover their windows needs to change.
