DUBLIN, IRELAND / ACCESSWIRE / January 22, 2024 / Eaton:

• Eaton earns perfect score on Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index for the eighth time and Equality 100 Award: Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion
• Eaton named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity in Newsweek for the second year in a row, earning five out of five stars

Intelligent power management company Eaton (NYSE:ETN) announced it was recently recognized by two prestigious organizations for its deep commitment to delivering an inclusive employee experience. First, Eaton achieved a 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index (CEI). Second, Newsweek once again named Eaton one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity. Eaton believes inclusive behaviors drive innovation and growth, enable high-performing teams and deliver confidence to stakeholders that they are engaging with a sustainable, socially responsible company.

The CEI, an annual benchmark for workplace equality, reflects how U.S.-based companies promote LGBTQ+-friendly workplace policies in the U.S. and abroad. It measures areas such as non-discrimination policies, equitable benefits, culture and corporate social responsibility. By satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria this year, Eaton earned the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Equality 100 Award: Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion.

Scoring for America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity is based on publicly available data, interviews with Human Resources professionals, press and anonymous online employee surveys at companies with more than 1,000 employees. Researchers also considered more than 21 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as diversity ratio, diversity reviews and information from social media platforms.

"These latest recognitions reflect our commitment to being a model for inclusion and diversity in our industry," said Cindy Fisher, vice president, Global Inclusion and Diversity, Eaton. "We are passionate about this important work because we know that it makes us stronger as individuals and as a company. We also know there is more work to do."

The recognitions mark the latest in Eaton’s inclusion and diversity journey. For the past three years, Eaton was named a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion, earning 100 out of 100 on the 2023 Disability Equality Index (DEI). In Mexico, Eaton was certified as a Best LGBTQ+ Place to Work and Age-Friendly Employer for 2024. To read more on Eaton’s journey, visit the latest Global Inclusion and Diversity Transparency Report.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO / ACCESSWIRE / January 22, 2024 / Fortitude Gold Corp. (OTCQB:FTCO) (the "Company") announced multiple wide, high-grade surface and near surface gold drill intercepts at its East Camp Douglas North target. Intercepts include 3.05 meters grading 6.81 grams per tonne (g/t) gold within 27.43 meters grading 1.49 g/t gold from surface, 7.62 meters grading 1.96 g/t gold within 12.19 meters grading 1.45 g/t gold, and 3.05 meters grading 5.71 g/t gold within 9.14 meters grading 2.40 g/t gold. Fortitude Gold is a gold producer, developer, and explorer with operations in Nevada, U.S.A. offering investors exposure to both gold production and dividend yield.

East Camp Douglas North drill highlights include (m=meters, g/t=grams per tonne) (full drill table below):

Hole# ECDRC-075:

• 27.43 m of 1.49 g/t gold from surface

incl.

• 3.05 m of 6.81 g/t gold

Hole# ECDRC-078:

• 12.19 m of 1.08 g/t gold from surface

incl.

• 4.57 m of 2.19 g/t gold

Hole# ECDRC-086:

• 13.72 m of 0.98 g/t gold from surface

incl.

• 6.10 m of 1.76 g/t gold

Hole# ECDRC-088:

• 12.19 m of 1.45 g/t gold

incl.

• 7.62 m of 1.96 g/t gold
• 15.24 m of 0.72 g/t gold

Hole# ECDRC-092:

• 9.14 m of 2.40 g/t gold

incl.

• 3.05 m of 5.71 g/t gold

Hole# ECDRC-104:

• 15.24 m of 0.94 g/t gold

• 7.62 m of 1.37 g/t gold

incl.

• 3.05 m of 2.93 g/t gold

This reverse circulation drill program builds on the Company’s December 2023 drill results at East Camp Douglas North, which included 1.52 meters grading 23.00 g/t gold within 4.57 meters grading 8.80 g/t gold and 18.29 meters grading 1.02 g/t gold (click here to review the December 2023 press release). Historic third-party drilling along with the Company’s 2023 exploration and drill programs have defined high-grade gold at East Camp Douglas North and this recent drill program adds to the current geologic model.

"It is exciting to continue to intercept significant surface and near surface gold at East Camp Douglas North," stated Mr. Allan Turner, Vice President of Exploration for Fortitude Gold. "Hole locations were based on detailed surface mapping and sampling campaigns that were performed in 2023. The surface mapping indicates that the structures that host the gold continue along strike into areas not yet drilled. We are currently updating our geologic model with results from this program and are planning a follow up drill program the first half of 2024."

"27.43 meters, or 90 feet, of 1.49 grams per tonne gold starting at surface speaks to the exciting potential of our East Camp Douglas property," stated Mr. Jason Reid, CEO and President of Fortitude Gold. "Within that wide 27.43 meter intercept from surface is 3.05 meters, or 10 feet, of 6.81 grams per tonne gold. Other surface and near surface high-grade gold intercepts in both these and past results add critical mass as we strive to understand both the geologic setting and identify mineral potential. Our goal continues to be the discovery and delineation of several near surface gold deposits that could potentially be mined as open pits. These numerous high-grade gold intercepts indicate exciting exploration targets for both our northern veins and the larger southern lithocap structure. High-grade gold intercepts like these, on our district size land position, speak to the exciting potential of East Camp."

Unstoppable Domains and The Sandbox tap award-winning game studio pros to build the first live competition with a major web3 brand inside the Metaverse

SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE / ACCESSWIRE / January 22, 2024 / Unstoppable Domains, the largest Web3 domain player in user-owned digital identity, in collaboration with The Sandbox, a leading decentralized metaverse, and Tuschay Studios, proudly announces the launch of the "Unstoppable Experience." This endeavor will mark the first live community competition involving a major web3 brand inside The Sandbox.

The Unstoppable Experience, co-created by web3 gaming collectives Tuschay Studios and BoopGoop, represents Unstoppable Domains’ entry into metaverse creation for the first time, providing users with the tools to own unique avatars and digital assets usable across all games in The Sandbox. This partnership brings users into a future where players can interact live within a game, experiencing a blend of digital identity and immersive gameplay.

The experience features a live multiplayer game, where up to four players compete to top the scoreboard by painting the most tiles in the MetaCube with their avatar. In this high-octane contest, players must decide to play defense by recoloring their opponent’s tiles in central battleground zones or to play offense by venturing for unclaimed tiles in remote areas of the game map. This strategic element, along with the multiplayer format, ensures that no two games are ever the same.

Accompanying this is an exclusive hangout lounge on Unstoppable Domains’ land, offering a unique space for UD domain holders to connect and collaborate. Users will also gain access to a dynamic marketplace to access exclusive wearable items to enhance their avatars.

These unique digital items offer unprecedented personalization and interaction within the metaverse. Each collectible represents various aspects of the player’s journey, from achievements and milestones to participation in specific events. These digital artifacts are symbols of the player’s identity and accomplishments within the game – enriching the gaming experience and providing players with a tangible means to showcase their achievements.

To craft this first-ever metaverse competition, Unstoppable Domains tapped Tuschay Studios, the creative force behind the Funguy Games catalog, who have received accolades in game development with their award-winning creation, "The Floor is Cake," alongside the enchanting world of the Funguys and the immersive experience of games like Meta Cube. The Unstoppable Experience represents Tuschay Studios’ ability to blend engaging narratives with interactive metaverse design.

This initiative promises to offer a mix of entertainment, collaboration, and digital identity in an experience where players engage in a competitive environment to color and claim territory. These developments emphasize the evolving role of Web3 domains in the metaverse, illustrating their potential as more than just digital addresses but gateways for direct navigation to user-created spaces, bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds.

"The ‘Unstoppable Experience’ on The Sandbox is an exciting multiplayer experience that fully integrates fun, competition, creativity, ownership, and social interactions," said Sebastien Borget, COO of The Sandbox. "We look forward to seeing how this venture will drive new audiences to discover the fun possibilities of the metaverse and drive more community engagement to Unstoppable Domains holders and their audiences."

As an additional incentive, participants engaging in the experience during its inaugural week will receive a free collectible, encouraging early exploration and interaction within this new environment. This marks a significant stride in enhancing user engagement and fostering a sense of community within The Sandbox.

"We’re not just pushing boundaries; we’re redefining them," stated Sandy Carter, COO and Head of Business Development at Unstoppable Domains. "This venture celebrates how digital identity can become a dynamic part of the gaming universe, giving players a stage not only to play but also to express and differentiate themselves. The metaverse is the perfect canvas for innovation that reflects our commitment to empowering users with control and creativity in their digital lives."

The Unstoppable Experience is just the beginning. As Unstoppable Domains expands its presence in The Sandbox, future integrations will further solidify the interconnectedness of users and web3 companies in the digital landscape. This partnership symbolizes a step forward in the evolution of the metaverse, blending creativity, control, and connectivity in a virtual world without boundaries.
