The combined entity (the “Resulting Issuer“) will continue the business of E-Tech Namibia and initially will be engaged in the exploration and development of prospective mineral properties located in Namibia, with a focus on rare earth exploration and development. See “About E-Tech Namibia” below.

About E-Tech Namibia

E-Tech Namibia is a private company formed under the laws of Namibia that holds an exclusive prospecting licence in the Erongo Region in central west Namibia, which mineral rights include the Eureka Nd-Pr-REE Project. The Eureka Nd-Pr-REE Project hosts the Eureka deposit which is made up of coarse grained monazite-bearing carbonatite dykes intruding (or including) quartzo- feldspathic rocks of the Etusis Formation. E-Tech Namibia has been undertaking geological and mineralogical studies, delineation work, and metallurgical testwork for three years on the Eureka deposit, which remains open laterally and to depth. The deposit has been targeted for the high-grade mono-mineralic nature of its REE (rare earth elements) deportment, with a bias to light REEs and the magnet REE metals neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr), which are essential components to electric vehicle (EV) motors and wind turbine generators. Logistically advantaged, the deposit is situated adjacent to the arterial B2 tarmac road leading to the container port of Walvis Bay.

The vendors of the E-Tech Namibia Shares are: E-Tech Metals Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (controlled by Edward Rolstone Loye of Bristol, United Kingdom and Sean Ashley Lapham of Wiltshire, United Kingdom), Kalapuse General Dealer (Pty) Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Namibia (controlled by Ambrosius Hinanentu Iipinge of Namibia) and Hebron Prospecting (Pty) Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of Republic of Namibia (controlled by Timothy John Smalley of Windhoek, Namibia) (collectively, the “Vendors“).

As at March 31, 2020 (audited, as provided by E-Tech Namibia), E-Tech Namibia had assets of N$276,009 (CAD$21,931) and liabilities of N$2,065,925 (CAD$164,158). For the year ended March 31, 2020 (audited, as provided by E-Tech Namibia), E-Tech Namibia had no revenue and a net loss for the year of N$838,322 (CAD$66,613).

A National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects compliant technical report and recommended work program is currently being prepared in respect of E-Tech Namibia’s mining interests, and details of that technical report and further information regarding E-Tech Namibia’s mineral rights will be disclosed in a subsequent news release.

As fintech continues to reshape the global financial landscape, today’s briefing highlights pivotal developments, strategic expansions, and innovative launches across the industry. This op-ed explores the latest advancements with commentary on their potential impacts and challenges.


Finastra Data Breach: A Wake-Up Call for Fintech Security

Source: KrebsOnSecurity

The cybersecurity landscape is buzzing after Finastra, one of the largest financial technology providers globally, confirmed an investigation into a potential data breach. Reports suggest unauthorized access to its systems, raising concerns about data security across its client base, which includes thousands of banks and financial institutions worldwide.

Implications and Challenges

While the details of the breach remain sparse, this incident underscores a glaring vulnerability in the fintech sector—cybersecurity. As financial services increasingly rely on interconnected ecosystems, breaches like these threaten not only individual institutions but also the trust customers place in fintech platforms.

The key takeaway for the fintech industry is clear: proactive cybersecurity strategies must go beyond compliance. Real-time threat detection, robust encryption standards, and regular audits are no longer optional but essential for maintaining operational integrity.

Future Considerations

This breach could trigger a domino effect, prompting regulators to tighten security standards and requiring fintech companies to double down on investments in data protection. Startups and mid-tier players, often lacking extensive cybersecurity budgets, may face significant pressure to keep pace.

Strategic Revival

This move reflects PayPal’s commitment to customer-centric innovation. By reinstating a feature beloved by its user base, the company seeks to reclaim market share lost to emerging competitors offering similar functionalities.

Broader Industry Impacts

Money pooling represents a broader trend in fintech—customized solutions that cater to niche needs. This reintroduction may inspire competitors like Venmo and CashApp to refine their collaborative payment offerings.

While this move strengthens PayPal’s ecosystem, its success will depend on seamless integration with existing services and robust fraud prevention mechanisms to avoid abuse of the feature.
