Pentanet’s (ASX:5GG) run continues after the cloud gaming stock upgraded its Gen 3 cloud infrastructure with NVIDIA L40 GPUs, to bring Pentanet into the NVIDIA Graphics Delivery Network (GDN).

GDN, available in over 130 countries, “taps NVIDIA’s global cloud-to-edge streaming infrastructure to deliver smooth, high-fidelity, interactive experiences”, it says.

In 2023, NVIDA became the 7th public US company to be valued over one trillion dollars. It is currently the third most valuable company on the globe after Microsoft and Apple, with a market cap of US$2.21trn.

IP geophysics — which identifies the electrical chargeability of subsurface materials, such as ore — has uncovered “wide manganese bands” up to 250m deep and 140m wide at Mako Gold’s (ASX:MKG) Korhogo project in Côte d’Ivoire.

“It is … very encouraging that the IP anomalies are strong to depths of 250m and that 4 of the 5 IP anomalies are over 100m in width,” says MD Peter Ledwidge.

“This increases our confidence that we have discovered what could potentially be a world class manganese deposit that extends for 8km along strike and could extend to at least 250m in depth.”

And training software firm Schrole (ASX:SCL) says Human Resources (HR) software sales in January and February surged 190% and 1392%, respectively, on the same period last year.

Total software sales year to date are up 144% on the same time last year.
