Innovative Compression Molding Enables Complex Designs, Embedded Features, and Material Integration for OEMs Across Industries
MADISON, SD / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2025 / Global Polymer Industries, a leader in advanced polymer solutions, is transforming what OEMs can expect from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE). With proprietary custom molding capabilities, Global Polymer Industries now delivers net-shape molded UHMW-PE components that go far beyond traditional performance, offering unmatched durability, resistance, and design flexibility for demanding industrial applications.
Unlike standard UHMW-PE sheets that require machining after production, Global Polymer’s compression molding technology forms parts to near-final shape from the outset. This unlocks a new world of manufacturing possibilities for OEMs looking to eliminate secondary processing, reduce costs, and improve part precision.
Key advantages of Global Polymer’s custom molding process include:
Complex geometries with varying wall thicknesses in a single part
Molded-in logos, part numbers, or tracking features
Integration of additional materials, such as metal inserts, screws, or supports
The self-lubricating, impact-resistant, and low-friction benefits of UHMW-PE, customized for any end-use application
“We’re not just shaping plastic-we’re shaping the future of manufacturing,” said Derek Mertz, Engineering R&D Manager at Global Polymer. “With our custom molding technology, OEMs gain design freedom that sheet-based UHMW-PE simply can’t provide, like variable thicknesses, molded-in part features, and integrated fasteners.”
Global Polymer serves a wide range of industries, from forestry and food processing to wastewater, agriculture, and material handling, where component reliability, speed, and performance are mission-critical. By leveraging its unique compression molding process, the company helps OEMs streamline production, extend part life, and eliminate failure points caused by bolted or welded assemblies.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2025 / Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:ASM)(NYSE American:ASM)(FSE:GV6) a long-standing silver producer in Mexico, continued strong production momentum in the second quarter with 645,602 silver equivalent ounces. Production in the first half of 2025 totaled 1.325 million silver equivalent ounces, which positions the Company well within the range of our original production estimate of 2.5 to 2.8 million silver equivalent ounces for 2025.
PRODUCTION HIGHLIGHTS – Q2 2025 (COMPARED TO Q2 2024)
Silver Equivalent Production Increased 5%: Avino produced 645,602 silver equivalent ounces in Q2 2025, representing a 5% increase from Q2 of 2024. This increase was driven by significantly improved mill availability, with our highest quarterly mill throughput in history. This record throughput was partially offset by lower feed grades in all three metals (silver, gold and copper), as we moved through a lower grade section of the mine plan.
Record Mill Throughput: In Q2 2025, Avino achieved 36% higher mill throughput versus Q2 2024, totalling a quarterly record of 190,987 tonnes of material. These throughput levels were a result of previous upgrades and automation enhancements made by our operations team, demonstrating significant improvements in mill availability.
Gold Production Increased 17%: Q2 2025 production of 1,774 gold ounces represented a 17% increase compared to Q2 2024. This improved production resulted from the increased tonnes processed, alongside significant improvements in gold recoveries to 74% from 70% in Q2 of 2024.
Copper Production Increased 12%: Avino produced 1.5 million pounds of copper in Q2 2025, a 12% increase compared to Q2 2024.
Silver Production Decreased 3%: Silver production for Q2 2025 was 283,619 ounces, representing a 3% decrease compared to Q2 2024.

“We are very pleased to report another quarter of strong production at Avino. The second quarter of 2025 saw increased mill availability, which is a direct result of the operational excellence demonstrated by our team during the quarter, as well as the benefits being realized from the upgrades to our mill facilities and spare parts processes that were made in previous periods by operations, maintenance and procurement teams,” said David Wolfin, President and CEO of Avino. “Tonnes milled during the quarter exceeded our internal forecasts, primarily due to improved plant performance and increased operational efficiency. With two strong quarters behind us, we are on track to meet our 2025 production guidance. At La Preciosa, blasting and development activities are progressing steadily as we approach the Abundancia vein structure. With strong performance at the Avino mine year to date and the continued advancement at La Preciosa, we remain on track with our transformational growth strategy.”
Balance Sheet Update
Avino had approximately US$37 million in cash at June 30th, and remains debt-free, excluding operating equipment leases. Our balance sheet continues to strengthen as we execute on our transformational growth strategy.
La Preciosa Update
Blasting and construction of the relatively short 360 metre San Fernando main access decline is underway, and equipment mobilization has been swift, allowing development to advance on plan. The new jumbo drill is working on this ramp as it progresses toward intercepting the Gloria and Abundancia veins. Site services have been installed and an existing building has been renovated for site personnel. Recent photos showcasing the work at La Preciosa are available on the Avino website – click here to view them.
Exploration Resource and Reserve Update
The 2025 delineation drilling commenced at the Avino Mine in April with a program consisting of 9 planned holes from surface. The objective is to test the downdip extension of the Avino vein system below the current lowest mining level, following the trend of previous drilling reported on September 14, 2023. The Avino deposit remains open at depth, and earlier results have shown comparable grades and widths to those currently being mined.
A second surface drill was deployed at La Preciosa to confirm prior drill results from previous operators and to improve the understanding of the grade zonation close to the scheduled mining areas near the ramp. Earlier drill core from previous operators, was extensively utilized to provide sample data for earlier technical reports, so remaining samples were limited. To date, three drill holes have been completed and drilling will continue until the end of October. Drilling information will be utilized in underground mine planning, 3D modelling as well as an update to the Resource estimate that is due in Q1 2026. In addition, Avino is planning on releasing its first mineral reserve estimate at the same time as the Company has now met the requirements for a Producing Issuer under the NI 43-101 standards of disclosure for mineral projects.
Earnings Announcement
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the Second Quarter 2025, will be released after the market closes on Wednesday, August 13, 2025.
A conference call to discuss the Company’s Q2 2025 operational and financial results will be held on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET. To participate in the conference call or follow the webcast, please see the details below.

This news release contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” (together, the “forward looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the mineral resource estimate for the Company’s Avino properties, including La Preciosa, located near Durango in west-central Mexico (the “Avino Property”) with an effective date of October 16, 2023, and can be viewed within Avino’s latest technical report dated February 5, 2024 for the Pre-feasibility Study and references to Measured, Indicated Resources, and Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves referred to in this press release. This information and these statements, referred to herein as “forward-looking statements” are made as of the date of this document. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect current estimates, predictions, expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the estimated amount and grade of mineral reserves and mineral resources, including the cut-off grade; (ii) estimates of the capital costs of constructing mine facilities and bringing a mine into production, of operating the mine, of sustaining capital, of strip ratios and the duration of financing payback periods; (iii) the estimated amount of future production, both ore processed and metal recovered and recovery rates; (iv) estimates of operating costs, life of mine costs, net cash flow, net present value (NPV) and economic returns from an operating mine; and (v) the completion of the full Technical Report, including a Preliminary Economic Assessment, and its timing. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “projects”, “estimates”, “envisages”, “assumes”, “intends”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release and the dates of technical reports, as applicable. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the future circumstances, outcomes or results anticipated in or implied by such forward-looking statements will occur or that plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur. While we have based these forward-looking statements on our expectations about future events at the date that such statements were prepared, the statements are not a guarantee that such future events will occur and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which could cause events or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Cautionary note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
All reserve and resource estimates reported by Avino were estimated in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) now recognizes estimates of “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” and uses new definitions of “proven mineral reserves” and “probable mineral reserves” that are substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards. However, the CIM Definition Standards differ from the requirements applicable to US domestic issuers. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources,” “inferred mineral resources”, “proven mineral reserves”, or “probable mineral reserves” that the Issuer reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, “inferred mineral resources” are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade are estimated on the basis of limited geologic evidence and sampling. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Neither TSX nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2025 / American Critical Minerals Corp. (“American Critical Minerals” or the “Company“) (CSE:KCLI)(OTCQB:APCOF)(Frankfurt:2P3) is pleased to announce that it has appointed Kenneth Taylor as Strategic Advisor with immediate effect.
Kenneth Taylor is an expert in Salt Minerals and Evaporite Deposits and has worked for over 20 years in the States of Utah and New Mexico. Ken was with Intrepid Potash Inc. (www.intrepidpotash.com) for 12 years in a number of roles including as part of Senior Management, latterly as Vice President of Business Development. He has also consulted to a number of entities in Utah and for the last 8 years has been in senior positions with Redmond Minerals focused primarily on its Mineral Salt Products and is its Chief Financial Officer.
Ken has process, regulatory, finance, sales, and research experience across a broad range of evaporite minerals including sodium chloride (salt), potash (potassium chloride), lithium chloride, magnesium chloride, and other forms of evaporites. His combination of financial and operational experience combined with work on R&D projects will enable him to provide commercial, operational and strategic advice to the American Critical Minerals Team. His industry connections and current work network will provide access to a number of potential Industry and Strategic Partners as well as State Government Entities.
Ken graduated Magna Cum Laude from BYU with a degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering and has post graduate degrees in business from the Booth School of Business in Chicago and Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Management Commentary
Simon Clarke President & CEO stated, “we are delighted to welcome Ken to our team, his knowledge, and insights as well as his strategic relationships will be extremely valuable as we continue to advance our Green River Project. In particular, his knowledge of successful Potash Solution Mining Operations in the Paradox Basin and the evolution of the Paradox Brines as a major source of lithium and associated by-products, provides us with invaluable insights and connections, as does his knowledge of successfully developing evaporite deposits across Utah and beyond.”
Warrant Incentive Program
The Company also announces the implementation of a warrant exercise incentive program (the “Program“) intended to encourage the early exercise of up to 4,620,800 warrants (the “Warrants“) previously issued in connection with a private placement and which are currently exercisable at a price of $0.1875 per share. Under the Program, the Company is offering an inducement to each holder of the Warrants that exercises on or before August 6, 2025 (the “Program End Date“). Holders exercising Warrants on or before the Program End Date will be entitled to receive one additional warrant (the “New Warrant“) for each share subscribed for. Each New Warrant will be exercisable at a price of $0.28 until August 6, 2027. The proceeds from the Program will strengthen the Company’s treasury and will be used for working capital purposes and the advancement of the Company’s Green River Project.
Holders of the Warrants are encouraged to contact the Company to coordinate exercise prior to the Program End Date.
About American Critical Minerals’ Green River Potash and Lithium Project
The Green River Potash and Lithium Project is situated within Utah’s highly productive Paradox Basin, located 20 miles northwest of Moab, Utah and has significant logistical advantages including close proximity to major rail hubs, airport, roads, water, towns and labour markets. It also benefits from close proximity to the agricultural and industrial heartland of America and numerous potential end-users for its products.
The history of oil and gas production across the Paradox Basin provides geologic data from historic wells across the Project, and the wider Basin, validating and de-risking the potential for high grade potash and large amounts of contained lithium. Wells in and around the project reported lithium up to 500 ppm, bromine up to 6,100 ppm and boron up to 1,260 ppm (Gilbride & Santos, 2012). This data is reinforced by nearby potash production and the advanced stage of neighbouring lithium projects. The Paradox Basin is believed to contain up to 56 billion tonnes of lithium brines, potentially the largest such resource in US (Source: Anson Fastmarkets Presentation – https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/ASN/02823465.pdf )The Company also has a 43-101 Exploration Target of 600 million to 1 billion tonnes of sylvinite (the most important source for the production of potash in North America) with average grades ranging from 19% to 29% KCL.**
The Company holds a 100% interest in eleven State of Utah (SITLA) mineral and minerals salt leases covering approximately 7,050 acres, 1,094 federal lithium brine claims (BLM Placer Claims) covering 21,150 acres, and 11 federal (BLM) potash prospecting permits covering approximately 25,480 acres. Through these leases, permits and claims the Company has the ability to explore for potash, lithium and potential by-products across the entire Green River Project (approx. 32,530 acres). The Company is authorized to drill a total of 7 exploratory drill holes across the Project (pending bonding the recently approved 4 drill holes).
Intrepid Potash, Inc. is America’s largest potash company and only U.S. domestic potash producer and currently produces potash from its nearby Moab Solution Mine, which the Company believes provides strong evidence of stratigraphic continuity within this part of the Paradox Basin (www.intrepidpotash.com). Anson Resources Ltd. has advanced lithium development projects contiguous to the northern boundary of our Green River Project and neighbouring to the south. Anson has a large initial resource, robust definitive feasibility study and has recently completed successful piloting operations through its partnership with Koch Technology Solutions, as well as an offtake agreement with LG Energy Solution. The Anson exploration targets encompass the combined Mississippian Leadville Formation and the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation brine-bearing clastic layers, which also underlie American Critical Minerals’ entire project area (www.ansonresources.com)*.
In 2022, the U.S. imported approx. 96.5% of its annual potash requirements with domestic producers receiving a higher sales price due to proximity to market (intrepidpotash.com/ August 15, 2024, Investor Presentation). In March 2024, the US Senate introduced a bill to include key fertilizers and potash on the US Department of Interior list of Critical Minerals which already includes lithium. Recent market estimates suggest that the global potash market is over US$50 billion annually and growing at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR“) of close to 5%. Annual lithium demand is now estimated to be over 1 million tonnes globally and continuing to grow rapidly.***

**A report titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report – Green River Potash Project, Grand County, Utah, USA”, prepared by Agapito Associates Inc., and dated effective September 12, 2012, quantifies the Green River Potash Project’s potash exploration potential in the form of a NI 43-101 Exploration Target. The Exploration Target estimate was prepared in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101 -Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101“). It should be noted that Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define them as Mineral Resources, and, while reasonable potential may exist, it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource under NI 43-101. The Exploration Target stated in the Agapito Report is not being reported as part of any Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve.
