Europacific Metals Inc

EuroPacific Metals CEO Karim Rayani joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the completion of the initial two drill holes as part of the 2024 exploration drill program at the Miguel Vacas mine area in Portugal. The first hole, located near the southern limit of the old open pit, intercepted a broad broken mineralized interval with copper secondary minerals associated with a 28-meter wide polyphase breccia/shear zone. The second hole, situated about 30 meters from the northern limit of the pit, revealed an 18-meter wide mineralized zone not previously identified by drilling, confirming the presence of a NW-SE fault and opening new potential for extension to the North. The ongoing progress includes the drilling of the third hole and dispatching core samples for assays, marking significant advancements in uncovering new mineralized zones and expansion opportunities.

FATE

Los Angeles, CA (May 13, 2024) - Baker Entertainment Group, a film production company led by visionary filmmaker Jonathan Baker, has announced the latest key additions to its ensemble cast for the upcoming feature "Fate The Movie", including Brandon Routh (“Superman Returns”, “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”), Mena Suvari (“Grace and Grit”, “American Beauty”), and Cheech Marin (“Cheech & Chong”, “From Dusk Till Dawn”). Production is underway in Vancouver with previously announced actors Academy Award-winner Faye Dunaway (“Bonnie & Clyde”, “Chinatown,” “Network”), Academy Award-nominee Harvey Keitel (“Bugsy”, "Reservoir Dogs", “Taxi Driver”), and Actor, Director, Writer, Andrew McCarthy (“The Blacklist,” “Orange is the New Black” and the upcoming documentary “Brats”). Highland Film Group is handling international rights, launching sales at the Marché du Cannes. “We’re honored to welcome Brandon Routh, Mena Suvari, and Cheech Marin to our extraordinary cast on “Fate The Movie”, which is going to be the second to last film I ever make,” said Jonathan Baker, producer, writer and director. “Their collective talent, along with the esteemed contributions of Hollywood Legends Faye Dunaway, Harvey Keitel, and Andrew McCarthy, adds immense depth to our film. With this dream cast, we’re thrilled to bring this epic love story to life in an unforgettable way.” Enthralled by smart storytelling and larger-than-life figures, “Fate The Movie” has secured the rights to Nat King Cole and his hit ‘Unforgettable’, acting as the north star in the film. The music partnership between Baker Entertainment Group and the Nat King Cole Foundation plays a large part of the film by portraying a new “character” on the project. “'Unforgettable' is not just a song in our film; it's a beacon, guiding audiences through the emotional journey of the film. I'm honored to have the Foundation's endorsement, and I look forward to paying tribute to him through the film”. Synopsis: It takes a minute to find a special person and an entire lifetime to forget them. After a rescue mission gone wrong, a firefighter Sam Ellis (Brandon Routh) connects with a stranger from the past Tilly, while he's healing at a rehabilitation center and is transported through time to find the only thing saving his soul, is his realization of true love. Leading the cast in “Fate The Movie” is Superman himself Brandon Routh, continuing his excellent run of recent projects. Routh was handpicked from hundreds of actors and Jonathan was passionate from the beginning that Brandon was the only actor who could bring this role to life. “His dashing good looks, comedic timing, and charm are unmatched. Brandon will help connect audiences to the story of ‘Fate The Movie’ as the world falls in love with him and our movie,” said Jonathan Baker. In Mena, Jonathan was inspired by “Grace & Grit”, blown away by her range and instincts as an actor. “Her complicated character, and the emotional undertaking required for such a key role could only be achieved by someone of Mena’s stature and experience.” Jonathan is also excited to welcome the iconic Cheech Marin as a pivotal character, drawing inspiration from comedic actors playing against type such as Dave Chappelle in Bradley Cooper’s ‘A Star Is Born’ and the late Don Rickles in ‘Casino.’ Jonathan believes “Cheech will stand out, bringing charisma and wit to an important role”. “Fate” also includes Sienna Soho Baker who rejoins her father for the first time since she was 4 years old, playing opposite Nicholas Cage in “Inconceivable.” James Van Patten rounds out the cast with over 40 movies under his belt including the “Saw” franchise and “Inconceivable”, where he previously worked with Jonathan. The son of the late Dick Van Patten, James comes from Hollywood royalty and is excited to join the cast. Jonathan Baker is producing “Fate The Movie” after being in development for five years, bringing a singular ambition and passion to creating this feature film. ### Contact Details Jive PR + Digital Jordan Parlee jordan@jiveprdigital.com Company Website https://www.bakerentertainmentgroup.com
