NFL safety Justin Reid expands CPR education for youth through summer program
( NewMediaWire ) - June 05, 2025 - KANSAS CITY, Mo. — More than 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside hospitals in the U.S. each year. Most don't receive the cardiopulmonary recitation (CPR) they need to survive. NFL player Justin Reid is tackling that reality through a new program pairing CPR training with a summer camp. Through his Kansas City based JREID Indeed summer program, the former Chiefs player, now with the New Orleans Saints, is expanding his American Heart Association Nation of Lifesavers Player Ambassador role. As an ambassador Reid is helping the Association, a global force changing the future of health for all, and its Nation of Lifesavers (TM) movement double cardiac arrest survival rates by 2030. In honor of National CPR and AED week happening June 1-7, Reid brought Hands-Only CPR education to the 35 high school students participating in JREID InDeed's summer program, called Tackling Tech. Yesterday, participants learned the correct rate and depth of compressions to save a life. Compression-only CPR, known as Hands-Only CPR, can be equally effective as traditional CPR in the first few minutes of emergency response. It is as simple as calling 911 if you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse and then push hard and fast in the center of the chest. 'It is important for me to participate as a Nation of Lifesavers Player Ambassador and to educate more Americans about how easy it is to learn Hands-Only CPR. The person you save is likely someone you know and love,' said New Orleans Saints player and founder of JREID InDeed, a nonprofit organization focused on empowering under-resourced communities, Justin Reid. 'Tying together the Tackling Tech program with CPR education is an honor. But, challenging them to find a solution to help others remember the lifesaving skill is how we are changing outcomes - one training at a time.' Reid has served as Nation of Lifesavers Player Ambassadors since the start of the 2024 National Football League (NFL) season Reid issued a challenge to the summer program participants. The goal was simple. Take the CPR skills they learned and help others learn. Reid asked them to create a fun and engaging way to expand their new CPR knowledge to students across the country. Now as the summer continues, the participants are developing unique school and student friendly dances to help others learn the steps in the chain of survival. The American Heart Association's in-school programs Kids Heart Challenge (TM) and American Heart Challenge (TM) will take these TikTok style dances to school assemblies to help youth remember the two steps to save a life in a fun and active way. 'CPR education is crucial to saving lives and improving outcomes in a cardiac emergency,' said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American Heart Association. 'Finding ways to meet people where they are and bring this lifesaving skill to more people is empowering communities to act fast and be ready and able to respond with the lifesaving skill of CPR. Justin's work and the engagement of his summer camp kids is a great example of how we can all play a role in expanding CPR education to make a difference when seconds matter.' The American Heart Association is the worldwide leader in resuscitation science, education and training, and publishes the official scientific guidelines for CPR. With nearly 3 out of 4 cardiac arrests outside of the hospital occurring in homes, knowing how to perform CPR is critically important. When more people are ready to perform CPR, the chance for a positive recovery increase for the community.

Kansas City Chiefs DB Jaden Hicks is being evaluated for a bigger role in 2025
The Kansas City Chiefs selected Jaden Hicks in the 2024 NFL Draft, hoping he would eventually step into a prominent role in the secondary. The time could be now, after veteran safety Justin Reid's departure at the start of the offseason. A recent article by Bleacher Report's Matt Holder highlighted Hicks' potential impact on the upcoming season. Advertisement "Hicks didn't get much playing time during the first half of his rookie season a year ago," wrote Holder "but he came on strong down the stretch of the year. With Justin Reid out of the picture, the Washington State product will have a much bigger role in Kansas City this fall and could make a name for himself." Hicks finished his rookie season with 29 total tackles, three tackles for loss, along with five pass deflections and three interceptions. Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has often used multiple players in the secondary in games, so Hicks will likely see more than just the one start he had last season.

Chiefs Justin Reid Replacement Labeled Best-Kept Secret
The Kansas City Chiefs lost starting safety Justin Reid in free agency to the New Orleans Saints, so they will need someone to step up and fill the void that he left behind. In a recent article by Bleacher Report's Matt Holder, he picks who he thinks is every NFL team's best-kept secret. For the reigning AFC champions, he thinks that player is the guy who is going to step in for Reid, and that is sophomore safety Jaden Hicks. Advertisement "Hicks didn't get much playing time during the first half of his rookie season a year ago, but he came on strong down the stretch of the year," Holder writes. "With Justin Reid out of the picture, the Washington State product will have a much bigger role in Kansas City this fall and could make a name for himself. " Hicks did not get as many snaps in his rookie season as some others did, but he made the most of his opportunities. In just one game started, Hicks racked up 29 total tackles, three tackles for loss, and five pass deflections. He was also able to show his ball-hawk skills by grabbing three interceptions. The Chiefs came up short in the Super Bowl this past season to the Philadelphia Eagles, so they will be looking to get back to the big game. Hicks will step into a bigger role in his sophomore season, and he will help the team's defense maintain the success that they have enjoyed the past several seasons.

Troilus Reports Record Intercept of 2.44 g/t AuEq Over 56m in the Southwest Zone
MONTREAL, April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Troilus Gold Corp. ('Troilus' or the 'Company') ( TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF; FSE: CM5R ) is pleased to announce positive drill results from its 2025 drill campaign (outlined in the February 4, 2025 press release ). The program is focused on identifying and delineating higher-grade mineralization and enhancing confidence in the block model. The results reported today include the best intercept drilled to date in the Southwest Zone ('Southwest') based on linear grade ( grade x width ). These results confirm the continuity of higher-grade material within the Phase 1 reserve pit, which covers Years 1 to 5 of the mine plan. All intercepts reported lie within the current mine plan and drill hole locations relative to the Southwest reserve pit are shown in Figure 1. All grades are uncut and true thicknesses are approximately 75% to 90% of drilled length. Southwest Drill Intercept Highlights: Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus Gold, commented, 'We are very encouraged by the latest results from the Southwest Zone, which will be the first area mined when production begins. Hole SW-25-688 returned the highest linear-grade intercept drilled to date in this zone, highlighting the continuity of wide, high-grade mineralization in the core of the deposit. Additionally, SW-25-679 encountered strong near-surface grades that could further strengthen the early years of the mine plan. As the campaign progresses, we look forward to sharing more results that continue to improve confidence of the block model, de-risk the early production years, and enhance the overall development plan for the Troilus Project.' *The completed NI 43-101 technical report associated with the Troilus Project FS can be found on SEDAR+ at under the Company's issuer profile or on the Company's website at . Southwest Drilling The ongoing drill program at the Southwest Zone is focused on better defining high-grade zones in the early years of production. These first reported results include Troilus's single best intercept in the history of drilling at the Southwest, in terms of linear grade. Drill hole SW-25-688 returned 2.44 g/t AuEq over 56 metres from the primary ore shoot on which the Phase 1 pit is centered and surpasses the previous strongest result from the Southwest of 1.56 g/t AuEq over 73 metres in hole TLG-ZSW20-189 ( see April 21, 2020 press release ). Hole SW-25-679 returned several higher-grade intervals of 6.82 g/t AuEq over 1 metre, 1.75 g/t AuEq over 9 metres, 15.39 g/t AuEq over 1 metre and 8.18 g/t AuEq over 1 metre within a broader intersection of 1.22 g/t AuEq over 51 metres starting at just 9 metres downhole. These grades are notably higher than previously reported results from this area of the Southwest Zone, highlighting the potential for the ongoing drill program to not only de-risk the early years of mining, but also identify additional near-surface high-grade zones that could enhance early production. Drilling in the Southwest is scheduled to continue until mid-May. In addition to drilling in the current pit shell, the program will include initial testing of several geophysical anomalies located outside the existing resource. These electro-magnetic anomalies are interpreted to be the result of volcanogenic mineralization, which, when encountered, has shown the potential to host significantly higher grades than those seen in the primary ore zones at Troilus. Follow-up drilling on these targets is planned for Fall 2025. Figure 1. Plan map with the reported drill hole locations relative to the Southwest reserve pit Table 1. Southwest Drill Results * AuEq = Au + 1.6823 x Cu + 0.0124 x Ag Quality Assurance and Control During the drill program, one meter assay samples were taken from NQ core and sawed in half. One-half was sent for assaying at ALS Laboratory, a certified commercial laboratory, and the other half was retained for results, cross checks, and future reference. A strict QA/QC program was applied to all samples; which included insertion of one certified mineralized standard and one blank sample in each batch of 25 samples. Every sample was processed with standard crushing to 85% passing 75 microns on 500 g splits. Samples were assayed by one-AT (30 g) fire assay with an AA finish and if results were higher than 3.5 g/t Au, assays were redone with a gravimetric finish. For QA/QC samples, a 50 g fire assay was done. In addition to gold, ALS laboratory carried out multi-element analysis for ME-ICP61 analysis of 33 elements four acid ICP-AES. Qualified Person The technical and scientific information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Nicolas Guest, Exploration Manager, who is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Guest is an employee of Troilus and is not independent of the Company under NI 43-101. AuEq Disclosure The formulas used to calculate equivalent values for resources are as follows, for 87 Pit AuEq = Au + 1.5628*Cu +0.0128 *Ag, for J Pit AuEq = Au + 1.5107*Cu +0.0119 *Ag, for SW Pit AuEq = Au + 1.6823*Cu +0.0124 *Ag, for X22 Pit AuEq = Au + 1.5628*Cu +0.0128 *Ag. AuEq was calculated using metal prices of $1,850/oz Au; $4.25/lb Cu and $23.00/oz Ag. About Troilus Gold Corp.
