Scientology Volunteer Ministers brought their yellow tent of help to Sarajevo for the first time, opening a three-day public exhibition in the city center with traditional sevdalinka songs, a ribbon cutting and free seminars in practical techniques for everyday problems.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina – 8 October 2026 – The Scientology Volunteer Ministers opened their first public exhibition in Sarajevo, bringing the program’s yellow tent of help to a central square of the Bosnian capital for three days of free seminars and demonstrations of practical techniques for dealing with the difficulties of everyday life.

The grand opening was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on the square. When rain and a sudden drop in temperature arrived, the Volunteer Ministers moved the ceremony inside the tent, where guests gathered among the exhibition’s panels for an evening of sevdalinka, the traditional urban folk song of Bosnia known for its emotional melodies and poetic lyrics of love, longing, and life. A local ensemble of singers in traditional Bosnian costume, accompanied on accordion, performed two sets of eight songs and an encore, closing with songs dedicated to Sarajevo and to Bosnia itself.

Between the two sets, Juraj Duna, the Volunteer Minister in charge of the European Goodwill Tour, told guests how the Volunteer Ministers program began, how its volunteers assisted in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the floods of 2014 and what the yellow tent offers today. A Volunteer Minister who has supported the tour on previous visits to the region then cut the red ribbon together with two guests from the local community, and visitors were invited to tour the exhibition and take part in the hands-on demonstrations that followed.

“Sarajevo is a city with a long tradition of different communities living side by side, and the people here have shown us a warmth and openness that made this visit memorable,” Duna said. “The Volunteer Ministers came because the tour had never been to Sarajevo before, and because the tools in this tent are for anyone who wants to improve conditions in his own life and help the people around him. Something can be done about it, and that is the message we came to share.”

The exhibition presents 19 subjects drawn from the Scientology Handbook, each offering practical know-how for a common difficulty in life, from stress and conditions at work to study problems, communication, marriage, raising children and the causes of suppression. Visitors are introduced to simple tools intended to help them understand the roots of a difficulty and take a concrete step to improve it.

The most requested seminars in Sarajevo were those on assists, a set of simple techniques intended to help a person relax and ease discomfort by addressing the spiritual component of stress and tension. Attendees watched a short film, saw the technique demonstrated, received an assist themselves and then practiced delivering one to another person. By the close of the exhibition, 13 participants had reported that they were applying what they learned to help family members at home, and several asked for further training.

“What stood out in Sarajevo was how quickly people moved from watching to doing,” Duna said. “By the second day, visitors who had come in for a seminar were delivering assists to each other. That is exactly what the Volunteer Ministers program is for: putting workable tools in the hands of people who will use them.”

Following the exhibition, the tour delivered a lecture and workshop on “The Cause of Suppression,” one of the 19 subjects presented in the tent, for members of a local cultural association, and has been asked to repeat the lecture for a larger audience in the city.

The Volunteer Ministers European Goodwill Tour arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina on 6 June 2026, spending five weeks in Mostar before moving to Sarajevo. The tour concludes its work in the country on 8 October 2026 and continues to other cities in the region.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers program was created in the mid-1970s by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote that “a Volunteer Minister is a person who helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others.” Volunteer Ministers have responded to major disasters around the world for nearly five decades and, through traveling yellow-tent exhibitions and free online courses, bring the same tools to communities in times of peace. Their motto is “Something can be done about it.”

Our lead asset, Hopes Advance, produces 66.6% Fe iron ore, with 0.01% Al₂O₃ and 0.005% phosphorus – among the lowest impurity levels of any seaborne concentrate globally.

Canada, 8th Oct 2026 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Oceanic Iron Ore. On October 7, 2026, Oceanic Iron Ore (TSXV: FEO) issued a message to shareholders entitled “The Demand for Green Steel”.

Oceanic is focused on the development of its 100% owned Hopes Advance, Morgan Lake and Roberts Lake iron ore projects located on the coast, in the Labrador Trough in Québec, Canada.

The flagship Hopes Advance Project has a NI 43-101 Measured & Indicated resource of about 1.36 billion tonnes at a head grade of 32.1% Fe. The project is located at tidewater. The PEA highlights that Oceanic will not require a railroad to get its iron ore to market, significantly reducing capital expenses and operating costs.

The Demand for Green Steel

Chris Batalha
CEO of Oceanic Iron Ore

The planet is heating up. The ten warmest years in recorded history have all occurred in the last decade. The International Science Council (ISC) warns that higher temperatures are causing an increase in hurricanes, droughts and tropical cyclones.

The production of steel is a major contributor to global warming. An astonishing one billion metric tonnes of metallurgical coal is consumed globally every year to manufacture steel. This accounts for 15% of coal burned globally across all industries. Steel and iron ore are responsible for 7-9% of the world’s CO2 emissions.

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has recommended that emissions from the iron and steel sector fall by more than 90% by 2050. To achieve this reduction target, global metallurgical infrastructure is currently being reimagined and rebuilt.

For decades, iron ore has been processed in traditional blast furnaces. These enormous chemical reactor towers transform iron ore into liquid metal (pig iron). The process requires extreme heat generated from burning metallurgical coke with hot air.

Blast furnaces are designed to run continuously 24/7 for 10 to 20 years. Shutting them down creates three major problems: the molten iron and slag inside the furnace can turn solid after time; cooling refractory linings can cause structural damage; reheating the blast furnace requires large amounts of energy, taking weeks – sometimes months – to achieve operational readiness.

Currently, about 70% of global steel is manufactured using these coal-fired blast furnaces. Gradually, production is being shifted to Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plants that use Green Hydrogen to strip oxygen from the iron ore, releasing water vapour instead of CO2.

The benchmark grade of iron ore required for blast furnace product is 62% Fe. Impurities like phosphorus make the steel brittle. Removing other impurities such as silica, alumina and sulphur forces the steel mill to use more energy, pure oxygen and fluxing agents like limestone.

The greener DRI plants require high-grade iron ore with low impurities due to the electricity requirements to produce a molten slag during steel making. Our lead asset, Hopes Advance, produces 66.6% Fe iron ore, with 0.01% Al₂O₃ and 0.005% phosphorus – among the lowest impurity levels of any seaborne concentrate globally.

New environmental regulations are actively pushing Chinese steel mills toward higher-grade ores. The Chinese want processing facilities that will maximize output while minimizing the additional pollution created from removing impurities.

High-grade, low-impurity iron ore has been added to Canada’s and Québec’s Critical Minerals List. This premium product is in high demand from global steelmakers transitioning to green, hydrogen-based Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) processing.

Because the Hopes Advance iron ore is high-grade and has negligible alumina and phosphorus content, we have an opportunity to play an important role in servicing the green steel markets. It is a significant business advantage. Not all iron mines can contribute to the green steel input market.

There are still about 1,000 blast furnaces in operation. Many of these operations need high-grade material to blend with their lower-grade feed. Oceanic downstream iron ore buyers could be steel companies, iron ore producers, or trading houses.

In the next message, I will explain what we learned from the Hopes Advance Re-Scoped PEA.
