Analysis Underscores AI Platform’s Mission to Help Professionals Optimize their Wealth

CHICAGO, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lossdog, a new wealth AI-powered career compensation and portfolio intelligence platform which debuts in April 2026, today announced new research ahead of International Women’s Day uncovering that professionals in developed economies may lose as much as $7 million to $15 million in economic value over the course of their careers due to structural dynamics in modern labor markets. The study, “The Seven-Figure Pay Gap Isn’t Gender-Neutral: Why the Gap Compounds for Women“, underscores how the system that underpays professionals works even harder and compounds longer — against women. 

With a focus on female empowerment during International Women’s Month, the findings add a broader structural lens to conversations about pay equity and professional advancement. Lossdog’s mission is to help women and other professionals better understand and capture the value they create so fewer leave money on the table over the course of their careers. Learn more here.

Jeff Joseph, Chief Strategy Officer at Lossdog, and co-author of the study along with JiaJun Zao commented, “The same structural forces — employer market power, firm-specific capital lock-in, and constrained labor mobility — that suppress professional compensation by roughly $3.9 million over a 30-year career bear down with compounded force on female professionals at every stage of that career.”

For a professional earning $100,000 annually, the research estimates that structural labor market forces—ranging from wage-productivity decoupling to employer concentration and declining labor share—can translate into $3.9 million in uncaptured value over a 30-year career. For female professionals, however, those same forces compound even further. In effect, $3.9 million is not the answer—it’s the starting bid.

The analysis highlights a growing gap between the value professionals create and what they are paid. Since 1979, worker productivity has risen nearly 70%, while compensation has grown just 12%, and professionals often generate three to five times the value of their pay. Lossdog’s latest research brief extends the firm’s original research’s signature line into its most pointed form:
“You do not need to feel underpaid to be underpaid. For female professionals navigating the compounding architecture documented here, you do not need to feel doubly underpaid to be doubly underpaid.”

About the Research
“The Seven-Figure Gap: A Structural Analysis of Professional Compensation“ was published in February 2026 by Jeff Joseph and JiaJun Zao and synthesizes decades of labor economics literature to quantify structural gaps between productivity and professional compensation. The Seven-Figure Pay Gap Isn’t Gender-Neutral, builds upon the original research while focusing on female working professionals.

WELLESLEY, Mass., March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This week Sun Life U.S. and the Boston Celtics celebrated the 12th annual Fit to Win program, which engages kids in fitness and healthy habit activities. Fit to Win concluded this week with a nutrition-themed event, which saw Celtics players Hugo González, Derrick White and Amari Williams join the kids for a competition of smoothie and cereal bar making. Conducted in partnership with the YMCA of Greater Boston, the Fit to Win program has kids track their health activities, which range from workouts, to journaling, to drinking enough water and getting enough sleep.

This year’s program started in February with the Fit to Win Health Fair at the East Boston YMCA, offering the kids experiences with creative writing, selecting fruits and vegetables to take home, vision screenings, smoothie tasting, vegan cuisine, flossing and teeth brushing demos, and more. The kids, ages 8 – 12, from the YMCAs of Dorchester, East Boston, and Roxbury, also engaged in workouts lead by Celtics legend Leon Powe, and enjoyed a dunk show from Lucky the Leprechaun and his crew. Two kids were gifted tickets to an upcoming Celtics game as part of an event giveaway.

“Since the start of this program over a decade ago, we have seen so many children embrace new experiences in healthy living,” said David Healy, president, Sun Life U.S. “We are fortunate to have such a great partnership with the Celtics, that allows us to make an impact in the communities around Boston that need it most. Learning healthy habits at an early age is the first step to using healthy habits throughout your life. Helping people live healthier lives is our ultimate goal.”

Throughout their long-standing partnership, Sun Life and the Boston Celtics have consistently engaged in community support programs. In addition to Fit to Win, Sun Life and the Celtics conduct the annual #SunLifeDunk4Diabetes fundraiser each November to raise money for the YMCA of Greater Boston’s Healthy Habits program.

“We’re grateful for the collaboration with Sun Life and the YMCA of Greater Boston, and the positive impact it continues to have across our community,” said Ted Dalton, chief partnership officer, Boston Celtics. “Bringing kids together with Celtics players in a setting that promotes healthy, active lifestyles is a meaningful way to reinforce habits that can last a lifetime.”

For 12 years, Fit to Win has built a legacy of connecting kids with the knowledge and resources they need to lead healthier lives, and even bring that knowledge home to their families. Since the program began, more than 2,600 kids have participated.

Sun Life’s team partnership with the Boston Celtics includes activations with the Maine Celtics. They conduct the Fit to Win program with Boys and Girls Clubs of Southern Maine, bringing the program to a broader range of youth communities.

BEIJING, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Elong Power Holding Limited (Nasdaq: ELPW) (the “Company”), a provider of high power battery technologies for commercial and specialty alternative energy vehicles and energy storage systems, announced a share consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares at a ratio of 1 for 80 shares (the “Reverse Split”) earlier today. The Company has announced a change of effective date of the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split will take effect at the open of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on March 12, 2026.

On January 6, 2026, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders, and the shareholders approved to implement share consolidations of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares at any one time or multiple times, at the exact consolidation ratio and effective time as the Board may determine from time to time in its absolute discretion, provided that the accumulative consolidation ratio for all such share consolidations shall not be more than 4000:1, and authorized the Board to implement such share consolidations at any time during a period of up to two years of the date of the meeting. On March 5, 2026, the board approved implementation of the Reverse Split at a ratio of 1 for 80 shares.

The objective of the Reverse Split is to enable the Company to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), which requires issuers listed on Nasdaq to maintain a closing bid price of greater than $0.10.

Upon the open of trading on March 12, 2026, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares will begin trading on a Reverse Split-adjusted basis, under the same symbol “ELPW” but under a new CUSIP number, G3016G129.

As a result of the Reverse Split, each 80 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.00016 will automatically combine and convert into one issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share with a par value of $0.0128. each 80 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.00016 will automatically combine and convert into one issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share with a par value of $0.0128. The Reverse Split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for minimal changes that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. No action is required by shareholders holding their shares through a brokerage account.

No fractional shares will be issued to any shareholders in connection with the Reverse Split, and each shareholder will be entitled to receive one full Class A ordinary share or Class B ordinary share, as applicable, in the Company in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Reverse Split.

At the time the share consolidation is effective, the Company’s total issued and outstanding common shares will change from approximately 63 million to approximately 0.79 million. The Company’s authorized shares will be proportionally reduced.

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.

VANCOUVER, BC, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — USANewsGroup.com — The copper deficit everyone warned about is here. S&P Global projects the world will be short 8 million tonnes of copper by 2030, and the International Energy Agency says demand is climbing 6% a year as EVs, power grids, and data centres consume more metal than mines can deliver^[1][2]. Rare earths and nickel face the same squeeze. The United States is 100% import-dependent on rare earth elements and more than half-dependent on foreign nickel, according to the U.S. Geological Survey^[3]. That is not a forecast. That is the situation right now. GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Sterling Metals (TSXV: SAG) (OTCQB: SAGGF), NexMetals Mining (TSXV: NEXM) (NASDAQ: NEXM), XXIX Metal (TSXV: XXIX) (OTCQB: QCCUF), and Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ: CRML) are advancing copper, nickel, gold, and rare earth projects across proven mining districts in Canada, Botswana, and Greenland.

Canada and the United States are responding with billions in public funding^[4], but government money does not dig holes or pour copper anodes. The companies doing the actual exploration and development work are where the leverage sits for investors looking at the critical minerals space.

GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) filed an independent NI 43-101 technical report for its district-scale Magno Polymetallic Project in the Cassiar region of northwestern British Columbia. The report, prepared by independent Qualified Person James Turner, P.Geo., validates a large intrusion-related hydrothermal system spanning approximately 37,204 hectares, with stacked deposit environments including copper-gold, silver-lead-zinc, tungsten-skarn, and critical mineral mineralization. Grab samples from exploration programs returned up to 2,370 g/t silver, greater than 20% lead, and 19.25% zinc from the Magno and D Zones, with 45 of 357 samples exceeding 100 g/t silver.

“The filing of the Magno NI 43-101 technical report represents an important step in advancing one of the most prospective polymetallic projects in the Cassiar district,” said Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. “Our recent exploration results, including exceptional silver-lead-zinc grades and significant indium enrichment, highlight the district-scale potential of the property.”

Sampling at Magno returned indium values up to 334 ppm associated with sphalerite, the highest recorded concentration in the Cassiar District and a significant indicator of critical mineral potential. Indium is used in semiconductor and solar panel manufacturing, and tightening global supply has elevated its strategic importance across North American and European markets. Tungsten mineralization was also widespread across the property, with 32 samples returning values above 1,000 ppm and a peak of 6,550 ppm at Vines Lake, with consistent values of 500 to 5,000 ppm tungsten at the Kuhn and Dead Goat targets supporting the presence of a robust tungsten-skarn system.

GoldHaven is advancing a $2.0 million flow-through private placement to fund 2026 exploration at Magno, including 3D geological modelling, drill target refinement, and permitting for an initial drill program designed to test the scale and vertical extent of the mineralizing system across several priority zones within the property. The planned program will evaluate porphyry, carbonate replacement silver-lead-zinc, tungsten-skarn, and critical mineral targets identified through the company’s integrated interpretation of structural, geochemical, and geophysical datasets. GoldHaven‘s broader portfolio includes the Copeçal Gold Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil, a drill-ready gold target with a 6-kilometre strike of anomalous gold in soil, and three critical mineral projects in Brazil totalling 123,900 hectares. Property-wide geological mapping at Magno supports the interpretation of a classic porphyry-related metal zonation pattern with strong structural controls, and the company believes Magno has the potential to host a large polymetallic system comparable to other mineralized districts within the Cassiar region.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:

Sterling Metals (TSXV: SAG) (OTCQB: SAGGF) reported a major discovery in the first drill hole of its 2026 program at the Soo Copper Project near Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. Drillhole SC-26-01 intersected a greater than 400-metre zone of felsic porphyry stock hosting widespread copper and molybdenum sulphide mineralization with potassic alteration. The blind porphyry stock was discovered approximately 1.5 kilometres from the MEPS Discovery zone, which includes 265.5 metres of 1.05% CuEq in discovery hole MEPS-25-02.

“The discovery of a source porphyry stock that hosts widespread potassic alteration and copper mineralization, including bornite, so quickly into the winter program is an incredible early result,” said Neil O’Brien, Chief Geologist of Sterling Metals. “It validates both our contention of there being a giant porphyry copper complex underlying a significant area of the Soo Project but also that our exploration targeting approach is right.”

The porphyry stock is composed of granite porphyry to quartz monzonite porphyry, compositions common to major porphyry copper systems worldwide. Copper is present as chalcopyrite and bornite disseminations, with molybdenite within quartz veins. The discovery confirms a giant porphyry copper system across a 7-kilometre by 3-kilometre corridor of surface showings and drill holes, located off the Trans-Canada Highway only 70 kilometres north of Sault Ste Marie.

NexMetals Mining (TSXV: NEXM) (NASDAQ: NEXM) reported high-grade copper-nickel drill results from its ongoing surface drilling program targeting the emerging Selebi Main Flexure Zone in Botswana. Drill hole SMD-25-205 intersected 11.05 metres grading 7.31% CuEq, including 5.75 metres of 8.73% CuEq, while hole SMD-25-203 confirmed mineralization 685 metres beyond the current Selebi Main Mineral Resource Estimate.

“The Selebi camp continues to deliver both scale and grade,” said Sean Whiteford, CEO of NexMetals Mining. “The identification of a Flexure Zone at Selebi Main, supported by strong BHEM conductors, provides a clear target for resource expansion. With step out holes over 685m from the current Selebi Main resource and wide intercepts of high-grade massive sulphides, the 2026 resource expansion program is off to a tremendous start.”

The company has completed 15,540 metres across seven completed holes as part of the Selebi Main surface drilling program, with three additional holes currently in progress. All 2025 drill holes reported to date have intersected mineralization at significant distances outside the current resource boundary, confirming the presence of an emerging Flexure Zone where the mineralized system changes orientation and extends both down-dip and down-plunge from the existing Selebi Main resource.

XXIX Metal (TSXV: XXIX) (OTCQB: QCCUF) reported initial drill results from the Cooke Zone, located approximately 2 kilometres east of the company’s envisioned Opemiska open pit in Quebec’s Chibougamau district. Hole COR-25-38 returned 3.63 g/t gold, 3.50 g/t silver and 0.27% copper over 6.40 metres from 61.2 metres, with mineralization interpreted as two parallel shear-hosted zones carrying gold-bearing veins and veinlets.

“These first holes at Cooke validate the opportunity to add high-value, near-surface ounces and copper to the broader Opemiska story,” said Guy Le Bel, CEO of XXIX Metal. “Cooke is a past-producing area with clear room for growth. We’re encouraged by the consistency of encountering two parallel zones and we plan to follow up with tighter-spaced drilling to advance Cooke toward a maiden resource.”

Cooke is a past-producing mine with no current NI 43-101 resource, making it a growth opportunity within the broader Opemiska district. The company expanded its initial drill program to target approximately 10,000 metres across the Cooke and Saddle zones, with results supporting the potential for Cooke to emerge as a satellite deposit capable of providing incremental mill feed to the Opemiska development concept.

Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ: CRML) announced its strongest rare earth assay results to date from a resampling program at the Hill Deposit within its flagship Tanbreez Heavy REE Project in Greenland. Thirty-three drill intercepts from the Hill Deposit returned grades up to 0.94% TREO, with a weighted average of 0.44% TREO+Y and 24.1% heavy rare earth oxide content across 1,014 samples from the 2010 drilling campaign.

“The Company is very encouraged by the results of the Hill Zone Deposit resampling program, which provides strong validation of the historical 2010 drilling dataset,” said Tony Sage, CEO of Critical Metals Corp. “The strong repeatability and high correlation between the original and repeat assays confirm TREO grades within a tight 2 to 5% precision range, underscoring the robustness of the rare earth mineralization previously reported for the Hill Zone Deposit.”

The resampling program also returned elevated zirconium oxide values ranging from 1.04% to 3.81% and gallium oxide from 87 to 117 ppm, expanding the elemental dataset and supporting the multi-element economic potential of the deposit. Priority infill resource drilling is planned for the 2026 field season as the company progresses technical studies and advances development discussions at Tanbreez, one of the world’s largest known heavy rare earth deposits.

Washing Dishes By Hand Can Be More Expensive and Environmentally Unfriendly Than a Dishwasher. Using the Right Detergent Increases the Sustainability Even Further.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A recent study from the University of Michigan found there are pros and cons to hand washing dishes versus machine dishwashing. Two elements stood out in the comparison between “running tap” dishwashing and machine use: time and CO₂ emissions. The team at Leaf & Mineral™ emphasizes that there are other ways to improve a dishwasher’s environmental impact, including using plant-based formulas designed to deliver powerful cleaning results that avoid the need to rewash dishes or rerun loads.

The study from UofM found that washing the dishes with running tap water was significantly less sustainable than using a machine. The difference in water use was substantial (3,420 gallons per year for manual washing and 1,630 for machine washing). However, the bigger takeaways revolved around time and emissions. Time equated to an average of five minutes per load with a machine as compared to 40 minutes per load with hand washing. In addition, the CO₂ emissions of washing by hand were 562 KG per year as opposed to 209 KG per year with a machine.

The team at the science-based cleaning brand Leaf & Mineral takes these points one step further. “These advantages are increased when you use a detergent that is both highly effective and made from clean ingredients,” said CEO and President of Leaf & Mineral, Rod Terry. “We focus on powerful, science-backed formulas, while also leaning on plant-based ingredients and mineral technology.”

Terry elaborated that it is this blend of powerful performance and sustainable formulation that gives Leaf & Mineral users an added edge in sustainability. “Too many products marketed as ‘green’ do not fully deliver,” he said. “We have set an uncompromising standard around results and then used the latest research to bridge the gap between science and nature.”

This fusion of science and nature gives consumers a dish detergent that is gentle on skin while maintaining a calculated efficiency against tough stains and grease. Cost is also part of the equation for Terry and his team. UofM’s study found operating a dishwasher costs $2,600 over 10 years on average, while hand washing costs $1,560.

Leaf & Mineral has prioritized low price to help people lower the ongoing cost of both machine and hand washing. In a world that wants to pull them to extremes with every marketing message they meet, this approach empowers individuals to manage the financial pressures, time invested, and environmental impact of their household chores with a sense of peace, productivity, and balance.

About Leaf & Mineral
Leaf & Mineral is a brand of VIP Soap Products Ltd., founded in 1951 in Vancouver, BC. The 74-year-old company has long been recognized as a leader in developing high-performing cleaning products. Leaf & Mineral is the culmination of that history.
