Press Release
East African Power Corporation and CVMR Corporation Sign an agreement
In a joint communique, East AfricanPower Corporation (“EAPC”) and CVMR Corporation of Canada (“CVMR”) announced today the signing of an agreement
Canada, 17th Jun 2026 — In a joint communique, East AfricanPower Corporation (“EAPC”) and CVMR Corporation of Canada (CVMR) announced today the signing of an agreement (“Agreement”) establishing a long-term framework for the development, financing, construction and operation of up to 500 megawatts (MW) of solar photovoltaic generation and co-located battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) to serve CVMR s mining, refining and downstream processing operations across its expanding global portfolio.
The framework agreement is structured as an evergreen master arrangement under which EAPC will originate, develop and deliver project-specific Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”), captive generation assets, and hybrid solar-plus-storage microgrids at CVMR operating sites, refining hubs and joint-venture concessions. Initial deployments are expected to be prioritized at CVMR’s African operations — including its activities in the Central African Republic and the recently established CVMR (R.D. Congo) S.A.R.L. joint venture with BITEC — followed by sites under evaluation in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the Balkans.
CVMR’s proprietary Vapour Metallurgy refining processes produce ultra-high-purity metal powders, nano-powders, pellets and near-net-shape components in a closed-loop system that is environmentally neutral. Pairing that refining platform with firm, dispatchable renewable energy is intended to extend the same environmental neutrality across the full value chain — from mine face to refined product — and to materially reduce the levelized cost of energy at remote and grid-constrained sites where CVMR increasingly operates.
“Critical minerals processed with Eco friendly power source— that is the proposition,” said Kamran M. Khozan, Chairman and CEO of CVMR Corporation.
“Our Vapour Metallurgy technology was designed from the outset to minimize environmental impact, but the supply chain that feeds such a refinery including its required energy have to be environmentally as neutral as the refining process itself. Partnering with East African Power Corporation allows us to extend our in-country, value-added model into the energy layer of our operations, particularly in African jurisdictions where reliable, affordable, low-carbon power is one of the greatest constraints on building domestic refining capacity.”
“Africa’s ability to produce renewable energy is the corner stone for allowing technologies such as CVMR’s, to operate in that continent.” said Dan Klinck, CEO of East African Power Corporation.
“CVMR’s business model of partnership with the host countries ’government— in-country refining, technology transfer, long-term industrial commitment — is exactly the kind of counterparty that allows us to mobilize development finance at scale, build local engineering capacity, and deliver electricity at tariffs that make domestic mineral processing globally competitive. A 500 MW pipeline tethered to producing mines and operating refineries is what moves the energy-minerals nexus from conference panels to construction sites. We are proud to be doing this work alongside Kamran and his team.”
Under the terms of this agreement, the parties will jointly:
• Identify and rank candidate sites across CVMR’s existing and pipeline portfolio for solar-plus-storage deployment, beginning with a technical screening of the company’s African concessions;
• Establish a joint development vehicle (“JDV”) to act as the contracting counterparty for project-level PPAs, with EAPC as the lead developer and operator and CVMR as the anchor offtaker;
• Pursuing blended financing structures combining development finance institution (“DFI”) capital, export credit agency cover, and private debt and equity, with a view to achieving financial close on the first tranche of projects within twenty-four months;
• Coordinate with host governments to align grid interconnection, wheeling, and tax frameworks with national industrialization and energy transition strategies;
• Develop local content, training and supply-chain participation programmes consistent with the host-country partnership philosophy that has characterized CVMR’s engagements to date.
The agreement establishes EAPC as CVMR’s preferred development partner for solar and power storage solutions globally. Specific project terms, capacities, and commercial structures will be set out in definitive agreements to be negotiated on a project-by-project basis. Industry context for such announcements is significant. The International Energy Agency and others have repeatedly identified power availability and cost as the principal bottleneck constraining the building of critical mineral refining capacity outside China. At the same time, mining and refining operations are among the largest single industrial loads in many African economies, making them natural anchor customers for utility-scale renewables. The EAPC– CVMR framework is designed to address both constraints simultaneously.
The agreement was executed following meetings between the parties in Toronto, Riyadh and Nairobi from January to May 2026 and builds on CVMR’s recently expanded African footprint, including its twenty-five-year strategic partnership with the Government of the Central African Republic and the CVMR (R.D. Congo) S.A.R.L. joint venture announced in March 2026.

CampaignTrackly Launches “UTM Campaign Tracking Expert” Certification to Address GA4 Attribution Gaps and AI Data Quality ChallengesNew vendor-neutral, 85-question practitioner certification helps marketing professionals validate their expertise in campaign tracking, UTM governance, analytics readiness, and tracking-link quality control.
United States, 17th Jun 2026— CampaignTrackly, a provider of enterprise data governance and campaign tracking solutions, today announced the launch of its official UTM Campaign Tracking Expert (UCTE) certification. The technical, vendor-neutral credential is designed for marketing operations professionals, analytics leaders, demand generation specialists, campaign managers, and digital marketers who need to build, validate, and troubleshoot campaign tracking links with confidence.
Why a Technical Competency Assessment in UTM Campaign Tracking is Needed
In today’s decentralized digital marketing environment, campaign attribution depends heavily on the quality and consistency of tracking links. Yet many organizations still rely on disconnected spreadsheet templates, manual URL builders, agency-specific naming conventions, and regional tracking processes to generate campaign URLs.
Growing Data Quality Issues
The result is a growing data quality problem. When tracking parameters are inconsistent, incomplete, or incorrectly structured, campaign performance can be misclassified in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), including in “Unassigned” or “Direct” traffic reports. This reduces reporting confidence, limits visibility into ROI, and can lead to campaign decisions based on incomplete attribution data.
With the Advent of AI Unsolved Campaign Data Problems Will Only Deepen
These challenges are becoming more important as AI tools enter marketing operations. As teams begin using AI to generate campaign names, tracking links, and custom parameters at scale, organizations need stronger governance around how those components are structured, validated, and deployed. Without a shared taxonomy and quality-control framework, automation can quickly multiply inconsistent tracking data across channels.
“Many organizations still treat UTM tracking as a routine administrative task, when it is actually the foundation for reliable marketing intelligence,” said Milena Mitova, Founder of CampaignTrackly. “When tracking query strings are created across disconnected processes, data confidence drops. With AI now accelerating campaign creation, we launched this certification to help establish a practical standard for validating tracking expertise.”
The UTM Tracking Technical Evaluation Measures Campaign Data and Governance Expertise
The UTM Campaign Tracking Expert certification is an independent practitioner assessment designed to validate a professional’s understanding of campaign tracking data integrity, analytics readiness, and tracking-link quality control.
The examination consists of 85 practical, scenario-based questions that must be completed within a 75-minute window. To earn the official certificate, candidates must achieve a passing score of 75% or higher.
What is included in the Test Evaluation
Rather than testing only basic UTM definitions, the certification evaluates a broad range of practical campaign tracking skills. Candidates are tested on their ability to understand the difference between URLs, URL parameters, and UTM parameters; structure tracking links correctly; use core UTM fields such as utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and utm_id; and recognize common mistakes that can create broken links, fragmented reports, or GA4 attribution issues.
Real-world use cases and Tracking Scenarios
The assessment also covers real-world tracking scenarios, including campaign naming conventions, marketing taxonomy, paid media tracking macros, custom URL parameters, separator consistency, hashtag and anchor-link handling, GA4 reporting risks, and pre-launch quality control. The goal is to verify that candidates understand not only what tracking parameters are, but how to apply them correctly across modern campaign operations.
Special Limited-Time Launch Initiative
To introduce these data accuracy standards to the digital marketing community, CampaignTrackly is waiving the testing fee for early adopters. The first 15 qualified marketing professionals to register can attempt the exam free of charge.
Candidates who pass the exam receive a verifiable Professional Certificate of Achievement issued by Leafwire Digital, Inc. and CampaignTrackly.com, suitable for LinkedIn profiles, resumes, and internal professional development records.

Brendale 4500, Queensland, Australia, 17th Jun 2026 – Cafe Solutions, a well-known supplier of café and restaurant furniture across Australia, has introduced a range of commercial seating options featuring durable stackable stools designed for hospitality and food service environments. The announcement reflects the company’s continued development of its furniture catalogue, which already includes chairs, tables, bar stools, benches, and sinks suited to cafés, restaurants, bars, and similar commercial venues throughout the country.
The stackable stools have been developed to address the practical requirements of businesses operating in high-traffic settings where space management and furniture durability are ongoing operational considerations. Stackable seating allows venue operators to rearrange floor layouts efficiently, store furniture during off-peak hours, and adapt to changing customer volumes throughout the day. The design is intended to serve both indoor and outdoor applications, accommodating the varied demands of Australian hospitality businesses that require furniture capable of performing consistently across different environments and seasonal conditions.
Cafe Solutions has indicated that the introduction of these seating options follows consistent demand from commercial operators seeking furniture that balances daily functionality with aesthetic suitability for customer-facing spaces. The stools are constructed using materials selected for their resistance to regular wear, weight-bearing demands, and prolonged exposure to different environmental conditions. This material consideration is particularly relevant for venues with outdoor dining areas, where furniture is routinely subject to sun exposure, moisture, and temperature fluctuations throughout the year.
“The addition of these stackable stools reflects the feedback received from café and restaurant operators who need seating that performs reliably in busy commercial settings,” said Russell Crawford, Spokesperson for Cafe Solutions. “Hospitality venues face distinct challenges when it comes to furniture — it needs to withstand constant use, remain easy to move and store, and still contribute to the overall look and feel of the space.”
The stackable design offers a practical advantage for venues operating with limited storage capacity or shared-use areas. By allowing stools to be stacked vertically, operators can reclaim floor space during cleaning, private events, or seasonal transitions when certain sections of a venue may need to be cleared or reconfigured at short notice. This functionality is particularly relevant for businesses that host functions, cater to variable crowd sizes, or adjust their seating arrangements on a regular basis throughout the week. The stools are available in configurations suited to bar-height counters, high tables, and standard service areas, providing flexibility across different venue layouts and operational needs.
Cafe Solutions distributes its products with fast shipping across Australia, a service that enables commercial operators to receive furniture without extended delays that may otherwise affect opening schedules, renovation timelines, or seasonal preparation. The company maintains stock availability across its product range to support the timely fulfilment of both individual and bulk orders, a consideration that is particularly important for larger commercial fit-outs and multi-venue hospitality operators coordinating furniture procurement across several locations.
“Moving forward, the focus remains on expanding the range of commercial furniture options available to hospitality businesses across Australia,” said Crawford. “There is continued interest in seating and furniture that meets commercial-grade durability standards while remaining practical for everyday operations, and the company intends to respond to that demand with further additions to its product range in the months ahead.”
Cafe Solutions supplies a comprehensive range of furniture for cafés, restaurants, and hospitality venues across the country. The company’s product catalogue includes chairs, tables, bar stools, benches, and commercial sinks, with options designed for both indoor and outdoor settings. The business has established itself as a consistent supplier to commercial operators throughout Australia, supported by its distribution network and commitment to maintaining available stock.

Sigma Node Technologies, Inc. is preparing to launch Sigma Node Network, a decentralized AI infrastructure platform focused on AI data access, distributed bandwidth, data verification, and trusted computing.
Dallas, Texas, United States, 17th Jun 2026 – Sigma Node Technologies, Inc. is preparing to launch ΣNode-Network, a decentralized AI infrastructure platform designed to connect underutilized bandwidth resources with the growing demand for distributed data access, data verification, and trusted computing in the AI era.
As artificial intelligence models and AI agents continue to evolve, the need for real-time, diverse, and reliable data infrastructure is increasing rapidly. However, traditional data acquisition systems often face challenges such as high costs, limited access, delayed updates, and centralized bottlenecks.
ΣNode-Network aims to address these challenges by building a distributed bandwidth-sharing platform that connects individual devices, enterprise endpoints, and edge nodes into a coordinated network. Through this model, unused bandwidth resources can be utilized to support distributed data collection, data transmission, and verification-related services for AI companies, AI agents, and data-driven applications.
The platform is built around the concept of “device as node.” By allowing idle devices such as computers, routers, and other connected hardware to participate in a decentralized bandwidth network, ΣNode-Network seeks to make AI infrastructure more flexible, scalable, and accessible.
This distributed approach may help improve data availability, reduce infrastructure costs, and enhance system resilience by moving certain data-related processes closer to edge environments. Potential use cases include AI data access, data validation, real-time data transmission, edge infrastructure, and decentralized network services.
Security and user control are also key parts of the ΣNode-Network design. The platform is expected to operate through user-authorized participation, encrypted transmission, access control, and transparent usage mechanisms, helping ensure that network resources are used in a controlled and secure environment.
“AI infrastructure should not be limited to a small number of centralized providers. With ΣNode-Network, we aim to build a more open and distributed infrastructure layer where devices can contribute to the next generation of AI data networks.”
— Alvin Edith, representative of Sigma Node Technologies, Inc.
By combining distributed bandwidth resources with AI infrastructure demand, ΣNode-Network intends to support a more open, participatory, and sustainable model for the future of digital infrastructure.
