Western Yilgarn secures new exploration licences in Western Australia's Gascoyne Region
Western Yilgarn has acquired new exploration licences, expanding its gold portfolio within the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia.
The licences, covering an area of 201km², are located just 8.7km from the high-potential Glenburgh Gold Project.
The newly secured ground lies over a highly fertile craton margin and metamorphic belt terrane, with the potential for significant gold mineralisation.
The licences are fully owned by Western Yilgarn and fall within the Dalgaringa Supersuite, which hosts the Glenburgh Gold Project.
The company said that the region has been recognised for its gold potential in recent decades but remains underexplored, offering a substantial opportunity for new discoveries.
Exploration activities are already under way, including comprehensive geological and geophysical analysis aimed at identifying prospective gold drilling targets.
The Gascoyne Project area is situated approximately 300km east of Carnarvon by road, with access from the west via Meekatharra-Carnarvon Road or from Jack Hills through Milly Milly station.
Western Yilgarn non-executive director Pedro Kastellorizos said: 'We are extremely pleased to secure the Gascoyne Gold Project as it provides excellent potential to delineate gold resources similar to the Benz Mining Glenburgh mineralised gold system, which now expands over 50km in length.
'The company has the same geological lithologies as the Glenburgh Gold Project located to the north of the current tenements. We have now commenced a geological and geophysics review for the purposes of delineating gold targets to commence ground exploration activities.'
In addition to this expansion, Western Yilgarn's management team has recently undergone a strategic restructure.
This included divesting from international subsidiary projects and acquiring new, highly prospective land holdings in some of Australia's emerging nickel-gold regions.

Need Quick Cash? Christine Benz's Top 5 Tips to Boost Your Emergency Fund
Morningstar Director of Personal Finance Christine Benz understands that emergencies happen, and you may need cash quickly, despite long-term plans to manage and grow your family's assets. She's come up with a valuable checklist of top tips to get that money when you need it most. Just keep in mind that, when the clouds pass, you'll need to double down on your financial discipline to rebuild the coffers you've just depleted. Don't wait for the unexpected. If possible, set aside emergency funds that include highly liquid investments like bank savings and money market accounts. Avoid assets that are held in tax shelters, like 401Ks and educational savings plans, because you'll probably incur penalties for early withdrawals on these instruments. However, some tax-sheltered investments come with provisions that allow withdrawals for emergencies. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . Next, Benz says to consider getting quick cash from taxable accounts that incur the smallest penalties for withdrawal. "Taxable accounts" are roughly defined as nonretirement and non-tax-sheltered instruments, like taxable bonds and bond funds, multi-asset funds, actively managed stock funds (including mutual funds) and high-dividend paying stocks and funds. Tax efficiency is the name of the game, ruling out many of the categories listed above. Instead, consider drawing capital from more efficient instruments like municipal bonds, I Bonds, Series EE Bonds, individual stocks, equity exchange-traded funds, equity index funds and master-limited partnerships. Stocks that don't pay dividends could be the best choice for folks needing quick cash because buying back shares at lower prices is often possible. Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:. This popular strategy falls into two categories, Roth individual retirement and traditional 401(k) retirement accounts. Roth holders pay tax as they go so there is no penalty for withdrawing cash when needed. However, depleting those funds may impact your ability to retire with sufficient assets. Alternatively, 401(k) accounts offer two ways to get fast money before the age 59 ½ withdrawal threshold. Benz believes the best option when raising emergency cash from a retirement account may be to take a loan that needs to be paid back, incurring a tax bill and 10% penalty. A second option is to take a hardship withdrawal, which is a one-time, fixed amount of money to cover an "immediate and heavy financial need." You'll need to jump through administrative hoops to get approval for this cash influx, which counts as taxable income and also incurs a 10% life and universal variable life insurance build cash value that can be a lifesaver in an emergency. As a rule, you can withdraw money from these policies, and it will be deducted from cash value. You may also be able to borrow from cash value, instead of taking an outright withdrawal. Keep in mind you'll owe interest on the loan, which is set by the insurer. And no, "term life" insurance policies do not build cash value. Do you own a home? If so, Benz says to think about emergency cash from a home equity line of credit, if you've built at least 15% to 20% equity. Watch out if you don't have a good credit rating or are taking a large loan relative to equity size. Banks and loan companies can charge high interest rates on this type of debt or deny the line of credit altogether. Read Next: Here's what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.

Mercedes CEO Has a Trump Tariff Deal That Could Reshape US-EU Auto Trade
Hours before an event in Michigan on April 29, President Trump signed two executive orders aimed at reducing the impact of trade tariffs on the automotive industry. One order prevents automakers, who face 25% tariffs on auto imports, from being subject to additional levies on materials. The other order allows automakers to apply for tariff relief, which will reduce a portion of the costs associated with their imported components. However, these benefits will be gradually phased out over the next two years. During a rally that night in Michigan, Trump described this move as providing "a little flexibility" to the automotive industry, hoping to persuade automakers to produce their cars and components in the United States. He said, "We gave them a little time before we slaughter them if they don't do this. They're going to make so much money. They're going to have so many jobs." Despite the developments, German luxury car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz withdrew its earnings guidance for 2025 during the announcement of its Q1 results. This decision was driven by uncertainty regarding the potential impact of President Trump's tariffs on imported vehicles. The company also stated that if auto tariffs remained at their current levels, it would decrease profit margins by 300 basis points on cars and 100 basis points on vans. In a new interview with German business publication Der Spiegel, Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius said that while he is looking at different scenarios, the kind of investments he has to make are ones that could last for decades, rather than ones made "in response to a volatile situation" such as the current US-EU tariff situation that is currently unfolding. Recognizing that the current administration has the impression "that we in Europe are closed to certain issues and only demand openness where we have strengths," the CEO proposed a deal meant to balance its imports and exports. In his proposal, Källenius would allow duty-free imports of U.S.-built cars into Europe in exchange for tariff waivers on an equal number of vehicles exported by EU automakers to the U.S., adding that it would alleviate and fulfill its desire to reindustrialize and become an attractive destination for companies to set up factories for exported goods. "For every car that leaves the USA or Europe, a car from the other side comes in duty-free," Källenius told Spiegel. "We have put this idea to both sides, and it is a possible component of the negotiations between the USA and the EU." Such a solution would work for a company like Mercedes-Benz. In the same interview, Källenius noted that Mercedes "is a major producer" of cars in the United States, adding that the company builds and sells around 350,000 vehicles in the country, which could count for consideration in trade talks. "But the models we build and sell [in the U.S.] are not the same," Källenius told Spiegel. "Two-thirds of the vehicles from our plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, are exported to 150 countries worldwide. We therefore contribute to a more balanced trade balance for the USA. We believe this should be taken into account in the negotiations." Källenius's idea of rewarding U.S. exports is roughly on the same wavelength as similar ideas proposed by other automotive CEOs. Previously, Ford CEO Jim Farley raised the idea that automakers like Ford should get credit for building cars in the United States that are shipped overseas for international consumption, noting that it is "essential" that the federal government come up with policies that encourage manufacturers to build cars for export, adding that it exports nearly as many vehicles as its brings in. "So many of the vehicles we build here are exported around the globe," Farley said. "Shouldn't we get credit for that?" Around the same time Farley made those comments, the export of some high-ticket models to China, including the F-150 Raptor, Mustang, Bronco, and Lincoln Navigator, was halted due to retaliatory tariffs as high as 150% on imported vehicles. For what it's worth, German automakers like Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz have a lot of leverage for a potential U.S. tariff deal, especially if they propose that German automakers receive credits based on the number of vehicles they produce in the United States. These aren't small potatoes, either. BMW alone manufactures some of its highest-volume models, such as the BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, and XM, at its Spartanburg, South Carolina, plant, which serves both U.S. and international markets. According to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, BMW is the largest automotive exporter by value in the U.S., shipping "more than $10 billion" of cars in 2024. American hands assemble these cars, no matter the badge or its supposed country of origin. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

AI Will Connect Mercedes-Benz Places Residents to the World
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Sixty-seven stories above sea level, Mercedes-Benz Places sits as one of the many high rises on the Miami skyline bearing an automaker's name. Aston Martin Residences, Porsche Design Tower and Bentley Residences are all nearby, as are the Armani/Casa and Fendi Chateau. To stand out, Mercedes-Benz Places is relying heavily on its brand affiliation. Design and technology features throughout the space are meant to welcome homeowners, shoppers, diners and visitors into a fully immersive Mercedes-Benz ecosystem. The exterior of the condominium structure features horizontal brightwork reminiscent of the center console vents in the new-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan and the rounded edges of the building play on the car's armrest design. The evolving juxtaposition of the two-tower structure gives the eye something unique to look at in a sea of light-colored towers as it moves toward the sky. While driving an artificial intelligence-enhanced Mercedes-Benz, such as the new CLA, Places residents will be able to seamlessly move throughout their day. Transitioning from morning to night with work or play in between, with AI assistance. "Mercedes-Benz Places in Miami is designed as a highly integrated living experience," Michael Stern, CEO of JDS Development Group, told Newsweek. "As truly a mixed-use project, Mercedes-Benz Places includes residences, a hotel, office, wellness and food and beverage outlets. Forward-thinking technology, mobility and sustainability features, and community programming support this future-oriented, integrated lifestyle, including the large-scale, reimagined park at the ground floor, to the many spaces for gathering, entertaining and socializing." Among the features of the 2.5 million-square-foot build are over 1,000 parking spaces, over 800 condominium residences, a 175-key hotel, 130,000 total square feet of amenity and hospitality space and 200,000 square feet of office space. There is also a public park that surrounds the Brickell neighborhood space. It will be filled with a basketball court, a dog run, green space, a kid-friendly section and a restaurant that will be built into the historic building that once housed Miami's first high school. Each condo buyer can customize their space from a selected materials and color palette developed in partnership with the Mercedes-Benz team, led by Mercedes-Benz's Chief Design Officer Gorden Wagener. Prospective buyers can see the options at the site's experience center. In its Finish Room, the sales team shares floor plans and views with clients, helping them understand what their unit could look like. Like when ordering a car, customers are presented with a curated menu of options they can choose from. Unlike what is available from Mercedes' Manufaktur arm, high levels of materials and design customization aren't able to be accommodated. Instead, as with a car, the highest level of customization and personalization comes from AI. "AI and connected technology have been part of the design process (a collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, SHoP Architects, and Woods Bagot), and will be experienced in many ways throughout the property, including through an in-home 'dashboard' in your private kitchen," Stern said. One potential AI-linked opportunity is a valet summon capability. Imagine a blend of technology that knows your schedule, traffic, navigation and climate control preferences that would be able to ask the condo complex's valet to pull up your car so you can be sure to leave on time, in comfort. Or, utilizing self-driving features, your Mercedes car could drive itself out of the deck and into the porte-cochère so it is ready and waiting for you when you arrive on the ground floor. "Seamless communication will be available at every turn. Not just a 'SmartHome', this is a SmartBuilding, and SmartLifestyle, where your car can talk to your home," Stern said. Additional high-tech amenities at Mercedes-Benz Places include an F1 simulator, recording studio and custom app. The first residences in the building are expected to be inhabited in 2027.
