Radisson Step-Out Drilling at O’Brien Gold Project Intersects High-Grade Mineralization in Multiple Locations

Radisson Step-Out Drilling at O’Brien Gold Project Intersects High-Grade Mineralization in Multiple Locations

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 28, 2025) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from fifteen new drill holes completed at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The fifteen holes represent step-outs below the existing geological model and the historic O'Brien Gold Mine and are part of an ongoing 140,000-metre drill program designed to test the overall scope of gold mineralization at the Project (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025). All holes intersected gold mineralization in characteristic quartz-sulphide-gold veins within alteration zones, and thirteen of the holes returned intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's existing mineral resources.Today's results include significant intercepts in three separate step-out locations (Figures 1 & 2), each of which has significance for the potential future growth of the Project's mineral resources. These are:Between Trends #1 and #2 at 1,000 Metres Vertical DepthOB-25-371W5 intersected 10.50 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 6.5 metres, including 14.90 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and including 16.95 g/t Au over 1.0 metreOB-25-371W4 intersected 11.25 g/t Au over 2.5 metres, including 17.80 g/t Au over 1.5 metresOB-25-371W6 intersected 4.51 g/t Au over 9.0 metres, including 10.70 g/t Au over 1.5 metresBeneath the Historic "O'Brien Mine West" at 1,000 Metres Vertical Depth OB-25-376W1 intersected 9.16 g/t Au over 2.5 metres, including 14.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metresOB-25-376 intersected 8.05 g/t Au over 2.50 metres, including 15.75 g/t Au over 1.0 metreBeneath the Historic "O'Brien Mine" at 1,100 Metres Vertical DepthOB-24-337W11 intersected 7.00 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, including 12.60 g/t Au over 1.5 metres, and 13.00 g/t Au over 1.50 metresMatt Manson, President & CEO, commented: "Today's drill results illustrate the extension of classic, high-grade O'Brien gold mineralization across a broad front. We are reporting the first high-grade intercepts beneath the western portion of the historic mine, with drill hole OB-25-376W1 extending mineralization 160 metres below the former mine in this area. Drill hole OB-24-337W11 demonstrates continuity of high-grade mineralization below the main stope of the historic mine. Of particular note, drill holes OB-25-371W4 to W6 returned high-grade mineralization on the western edge of the deep extension of Trend #2, close to the observed extension of Trend #1 (Figures 1&2). This suggests that the apparent gap between these two trends is a function of drill coverage rather than geology, as we have suspected. Closing this gap with new drilling is a priority. With a fully-funded 140,000-metre drill program ongoing and an increase in rigs from the current four to an eventual eight, we are casting a wide net at O'Brien and seeing consistent success."Figure 1: Longitudinal Vertical Section and Plan View of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Today's Drill Holes IllustratedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/272164_3fafb92ae4c30b1d_002full.jpgNotes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:The O'Brien Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate effective May 6, 2025 ("MRE") utilizes a 2.20 g/t Au bottom cut-off, a US$2,000 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 40 g/t Au upper cap on composites. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of core length. Table 2 presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed. Lithology Codes: PON-S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone.Figure 2: Longitudinal Vertical Section of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company since December 2024. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/272164_3fafb92ae4c30b1d_004full.jpgGold Mineralization at O'BrienGold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with near-vertical, high-grade shoots developed over significant lengths. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focussed on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well developed vein mineralization to the east of the historic mine, with additional high-grade shoots becoming evident in the exploration data over what has been described as a series of repeating trends ("Trend #s 0 to 5").Step-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the extent of mineralization at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. On October 16, 2025 Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing an eventual eight drill rigs.The origin of the step-out drill program was the deep pilot hole OB-24-337, which was the first exploration drill hole located below the former mine workings since mining ended in 1957. This hole intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated December 16, 2024). With today's results, assay results from a total of 11 wedges from OB-24-337 have now been reported and up to six gold-bearing veins have been delineated over an area of approximately 250 metres (east-west) by 500 metres (vertical). Included in today's results is the eleventh wedge, OB24-337-W11, which intersected 7.00 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, including 12.60 g/t Au over 1.5 metres, and 13.00 g/t Au over 1.50 metres approximately 100 metres below the final historic mining stope (Figure 1). This serves to demonstrate the continuity of mineralization from the former mine downwards towards the cluster previously published wedges (Figures 1 & 2; see Radisson news release dated July 16, 2025). Current drilling in this area is focussed on infilling with pilot holes and wedge extensions both above and below the OB-24-337 pattern of wedge branches to test the full continuity of mineralization from the historic mine down to 2 kilometres depth.Step-out drilling with wedge branches has also confirmed high-grade mineralization 170 metres below the base of the existing mineral resources at Trend #1 and 300 metres at Trend #2. These have included pilot hole OB-24-324, which intersected 27.61 g/t Au over 6.0 metres at Trend #1 (see Radisson news release dated October 30, 2024) and OB-24-363, which intersected 8.41 g/t Au over 2.20 metres, including 14.40 g/t Au over 1.20 metres and 9.07 g/t Au over 1.80 metres, including 12.10 g/t Au over 0.90 metres at Trend #2 (see Radisson news release dated September 8, 2025). Today's results include six wedges from drill hole OB-25-371, which demonstrate strongly developed, high-grade mineralization on the western edge of the deep extension of Trend #2. These holes include OB-25-371W5, which intersected 10.50 g/t Au over 6.5 metres, including 14.90 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and including 16.95 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (Figures 1&3). The significance of these holes is that the apparent separation of Trend #1 and Trend #2 is based, in part, on a data gap caused by drill rig access restrictions and a lack of drilling (Figure 2). Targeting this gap and testing for continuity of mineralization between Trends #1 and #2, as well as at depth, is a priority of the current drill program.Today's results also include the first drill holes located below the western portion of the historic O'Brien Gold Mine, designated "O'Brien Mine West". As with the main mining area, no exploration had been conducted below O'Brien Mine West since operations ended in 1957. From pilot hole OB-25-376 and wedge branches W1 to W5, five holes returned intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources, including OB-25-376W1, which intersected 9.16 g/t Au over 2.5 metres, including 14.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metres (Figure 1). This now extends gold mineralization at O'Brien Mine West 160 metres below the base of the former mine workings (Figure 4).Figure 3: Vertical Cross Section through "Trend #2" with Drill Hole Wedges OB-25-371W2 to W6To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/272164_3fafb92ae4c30b1d_005full.jpg Figure 4: Vertical Cross Section through "O'Brien Mine West" with Drill Hole OB-25-376 and Wedges W1 to W5To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/272164_3fafb92ae4c30b1d_006full.jpgQA/QCAll drill cores in this campaign are NQ in size.

CMS (867.HK; 8A8.SG) Signed A Distribution Agreement for Ophthalmic Drugs Lucentis(R) and Beovu(R)

CMS (867.HK; 8A8.SG) Signed A Distribution Agreement for Ophthalmic Drugs Lucentis(R) and Beovu(R)

SHENZHEN, Oct 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that on 27 October 2025, the Group through its subsidiary CMS VISION INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT LIMITED entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Novartis Pharma Services AG (“Novartis”) for Ranibizumab Injection (“Lucentis®”) and Brolucizumab Injection (“Beovu®”). In accordance with the Agreement, the Group has obtained the exclusive right to import, distribute, sell and promote as specifically agreed upon in the Agreement in the People’s Republic of China (for the purpose of the Agreement, excluding the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan) ; Novartis will continue to be responsible for the production and supply of the products. The term of cooperation comes into effect on the effective date of the Agreement and remains valid for a period of five years.Both collaborative products have been approved for marketing in China. Among them, Lucentis® is the first anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug approved for ophthalmic use in China, and has accumulated mature clinical application experience, providing reliable support for numerous patients with ocular fundus diseases. Lucentis® has been approved for the treatment of multiple ocular neovascular diseases, including neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO), etc. Another product, Beovu®, is a next-generation anti-VEGF drug approved in China in May 2025 for the treatment of DME. Leveraging its innovative advantages of ultra-small molecular weight (only 26 kDa) and high concentration, Beovu® significantly improves retinal anatomical structure, helps more DME patients gain visual improvement, and alleviates treatment burden.The Group’s ophthalmology business company, “CMS Vision”, focuses on deploying and developing innovative ophthalmic pharmaceuticals and medical devices with urgent clinical needs on a global scale, striving to become a “leading ophthalmology pharmaceutical company in China”. This collaboration will enhance the overall competitiveness of CMS Vision in the field of ophthalmology. CMS Vision already covers ophthalmic disease areas such as fundus diseases, asthenopia and glaucoma. With the addition of Lucentis® and Beovu®, the portfolio will generate strong synergies with the marketed exclusive drug Augentropfen Stulln Mono Eye Drops (Esculin and Digitalisglycosides Eye Drops) and the marketed exclusive medical device EyeOP1 Glaucoma Treatment Device in terms of customer base, expert resources, and channel networks. This will further strengthen CMS Vision’s academic brand competitiveness in ophthalmology, provide positive momentum for sustained collaboration and the development of clinically needed innovative ophthalmic products, and offer patients more diverse treatment options. At the same time, CMS Vision’s professional ophthalmology team will integrate marketing channels and academic resources to improve the overall team efficiency. The collaboration is expected to have a positive impact on the Group’s financial results.More Information about LUCENTIS® and Ocular Neovascular DiseasesLucentis® is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody Fab fragment targeting VEGF. It targets and inhibits human vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), thereby suppressing vascular endothelial cell proliferation, neovascularization, and vascular leakage. As the first anti-VEGF drug approved for ophthalmic use in China[3], Lucentis® has been approved for the treatment of multiple ocular neovascular diseases since its launch in China in 2011, including nAMD, DME, macular edema following RVO, choroidal neovascularization (CNV), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In 2017, Lucentis® was included in the National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) for Basic Medical Insurance, Work-Related Injury Insurance, and Maternity Insurance. It has accumulated mature clinical application experience, providing reliable support for numerous patients with ocular fundus diseases.Ocular neovascular diseases are a group of severe blinding ophthalmic conditions characterized by increased vascular permeability, vascular leakage, and loss of vascular integrity, mainly including nAMD, DR, DME, RVO, CNV, ROP, etc. Anti-VEGF drugs are recommended as first-line therapy for ocular neovascular diseases in multiple authoritative guidelines[3, 4]. According to a Frost & Sullivan report, the number of patients with ocular neovascular diseases in China is projected to increase from 47.8 million in 2019 to 61.2 million in 2030. The Chinese ophthalmic anti-VEGF drug market is expected to grow from RMB 2.4 billion in 2019 to RMB 18.6 billion in 2030. As stated in Anti-VEGF Drugs for Fundus Neovascular Diseases, Lucentis®—the first anti-VEGF drug approved for the treatment of ocular neovascular diseases in China—has demonstrated favorable safety and efficacy in multiple clinical trials. It has been widely used in the treatment of ocular neovascular diseases, and its launch represents a major advancement in clinical ophthalmic treatment[5].More Information about BEOVU® and the DME IndicationBeovu® is a novel VEGF-A-targeted humanized single-chain antibody fragment. It received approval from the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) in May 2025 for the treatment of DME. As the current anti-VEGF drug with the smallest molecular weight (only 26 kDa), Beovu® is administered once every 6 weeks during the loading phase of the DME treatment (compared to once every 4 weeks for other anti-VEGF drugs) and once every two to three months during the maintenance phase. In the global Phase 3 KESTREL and KITE Studies for treatment-naive DME patients, Beovu® met all primary efficacy endpoints and the visual benefit persisted until Week 100. Additionally, patients in the Beovu® 6mg group had less intraretinal fluid (IRF) and/or subretinal fluid (SRF). The median number of injections of Beovu® in the first year (7 times) was lower than that of aflibercept (9 times), while its overall safety profile was comparable to the latter[6]. Data from the Chinese real-world study (BEST Study) showed that for previously treated and inadequately controlled DME patients, BCVA improved by 6.1 letters from baseline 1 week after the first injection of Beovu®, and by 10 letters after the third injection (Week 12). Beovu® provides a more optimized treatment option for previously treated DME patients[7].DME is a retinal thickening caused by capillary leakage in the macular area, which is the result of the breakdown of the blood retinal barrier and mainly affects central vision.[8]. According to a Frost & Sullivan report, there are approximately 7.89 million DME patients in China in 2025. However, even with the current standard anti-VEGF regimens, approximately 30%-50% of DME patients still exhibit suboptimal fluid control[9-11]. A survey in the 2022 White Paper on the Current Status of Chronic Disease Management for Common Ocular Fundus Diseases in China showed that treatment adherence among Chinese patients is relatively poor, with over 30% of DME patients failing to complete the loading phase treatment. There is an urgent clinical need for more potent, longer-lasting, and more adherence-friendly treatment options to improve the diagnosis and treatment of DME patients. As a next-generation anti-VEGF drug, Beovu® offers a potential solution to this challenge. Leveraging its innovative advantages of ultra-small molecular weight and high concentration, Beovu® significantly improves retinal anatomical structure, helps more DME patients gain visual improvement, and alleviates treatment burden.About NOVARTISNovartis is a globally renowned pharmaceutical company headquartered in Basel, Switzerland. The company focuses on four core therapeutic areas with urgent patient needs—Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolic Disease, Oncology, Immunology, and Neuroscience—as well as five key technology platforms: Chemotherapy, Biotherapy, xRNA, Radioligand Therapy, and Gene and Cell Therapy.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.

Archipelago Video Summit Showcases How the Region is Reinventing for Significant Growth

Archipelago Video Summit Showcases How the Region is Reinventing for Significant Growth

Jakarta, Indonesia, October 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Archipelago Video Summit, held on 9 October in Jakarta, brought together over 150 senior executives from across Asia to explore the future of video in some of the world’s most dynamic markets of Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.In the opening keynote, Hermawan Sutanto, Managing Director of Vidio, shared how the platform is building a local streaming powerhouse around sports rights and original content to leverage a dual advertising and subscription revenue strategy. Sutanto emphasized that in Indonesia, “execution is everything” while also highlighting Vidio’s aggressive stance against piracy. He also outlined the use of AI in three key areas—hypertargeting user recommendations to drive subscriptions, process automation including customer service, and business innovation such as dynamic ad placement in live sports and local language translation for regional dialects. Looking ahead, he projected that the penetration of OTT streaming in Indonesia could double to 15% within the next five years.In Reinventing for a Dynamic Future, Jane Jimenez-Basas, President & CEO of MediaQuest Holdings and Cignal TV, highlighted the Philippines’ unique media ecosystem and her vision to build a content-focused platform integrated with telco services. While linear TV continues to hold its ground, the real momentum is coming from streaming. However, with lower ARPU, strategic partnerships—such as device distribution and app launches—are essential to scaling reach and driving sustainable growth. “I’m trying to build a content focused ecosystem not a channel business,” said Jimenez-Basas. And with the success Cignal has had with micro-dramas particularly with younger audiences, Jimenez-Basas also revealed their ambition to produce AI-generated micro-dramas in the future.Piracy remained a central theme throughout the summit. Gina Golda Pangaila, SVP, Legal, Anti-Piracy & Government Relation, Vidio, emphasized the need for a multi-layered, industry-wide approach, combining defensive measures like DRM and content protection with offensive strategies that enhance the consumer experience and investing in anti-piracy technologies. She also highlighted the critical role of AVIA and AVISI in lobbying governments to support these efforts. Darmawan Zaini, Chief Technology Officer, Vision+, also called for stronger consumer education—especially among younger audiences—and even suggested exploring penalties for those who consume pirated content. Ian Franklyn, Chief Revenue Officer, MainStreaming, echoed the urgency, and stressed the importance of real-time detection and rapid response especially for live content where pirates profit most and content owners face the greatest losses. “Piracy is no longer a nuisance—it’s organized crime. . .The goal is to give back power to the content owner,” said Franklyn.On the future of satellite video, technology leaders from AsiaSat, MEASAT, and INTEGRASYS reaffirmed satellite’s relevance and cost effectiveness in reaching rural and underserved markets and playing a critical role in bridging the digital divide across Southeast Asia’s archipelagic geographies.In the sessions focused on monetization strategies, speakers acknowledged that while Connected TV (CTV) adoption in Southeast Asia faces infrastructural and content acquisition challenges, its growth trajectory is accelerating rapidly. Tushar Tyagi, Head of Channel Partnerships, Samsung Ads, noted that the region is poised to leapfrog traditional development stages and move directly toward smart, data-driven outcomes, making education, standardization, and AI-powered addressability essential to unlocking CTV’s full monetization potential. The sessions also explored co-viewing trends and the power of contextual advertising, emphasizing the growing importance of data-driven personalization, with innovations in ad formats and audience segmentation helping to drive engagement across both linear and OTT platforms. Sachidananda Panda, President, Client, WPP Media, summed up the future of streaming with the “three I’s”—Intelligence, Integration, and Impact—underscoring the role of AI, cross-platform strategies, and effectiveness in shaping the next wave of video advertising.The CEO Dialogue wrapped up the day with Mike Kerr, Managing Director, Asia, beIN Media Group, emphasizing the importance of disciplined content acquisition and strategic partnerships, particularly in sports, while cautioning against overreliance on traditional advertising models. Alexandre Muller, Managing Director APAC, TV5MONDE noted that Asia’s rapid adoption of new technologies continues to inspire innovation, but success requires deep local understanding and collaboration. The dialogue closed with a shared optimism for the region’s future, grounded in adaptability, innovation, and a commitment to building scalable, consumer-centric media ecosystems.Archipelago Video Summit is proudly sponsored by Gold Sponsors Publica by IAS, Vidio and Vision+ and Silver Sponsors AsiaSat, INTEGRASYS, INVIDI, Magnite, MainStreaming and TV5MONDE.About the Asia Video Industry AssociationThe Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA) is the trade association for the video industry and ecosystem in Asia Pacific.

Doubleview Gold Corp Announces 320-Meter Eastward Extension at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit, Expanding Mineralized Volume and Remaining Open

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 23, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to report that ongoing drilling at its 100%-owned Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia has extended the mineralized system approximately 320 meters eastward, further confirming that the deposit remains open in multiple directions. The 2025 exploration program continues to expand the mineralized envelope, with results expected to contribute significantly to the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).2025 Exploration Program HighlightsTo date in 2025 drill program, the Company has completed more than 10,200 meters of drilling in 14 holes. The focus has been to step out from the known resource limits to prove continuity and scale. Key results from this phase of the program include:Significant Extension: Drill holes H100 through H102 have successfully extended the deposit's footprint more than 320 meters eastward, confirming that the high-volume porphyry-style mineralization remains open and undefined in this direction.Consistent Mineralization: Mineralization has been intersected in every hole completed in the 2025 program, validating the geological model and suggesting strong continuity of the mineralizing system.Resource Inclusion: The entire drill database to hole H101 will be included in the revised MRE, anticipated for release in 2025. The expanded footprint with stronger assay data and strong visuals as illustrated in the accompanying core photo gallery, is expected to allow a meaningfully increased resource estimate.The 2025 drilling program comprises more than 10,200 meters in 14 holes and the observed mineralization has been extended more than 320 metres to the east. The interpreted mineralization and the apparent growth in volume provide strong support for the forthcoming MRE that is scheduled for completion within the next 60 days. Fresh assays are being received almost daily from the laboratory and will be released when processed by our technical team."These new drill results represent a major step forward in understanding the true scale of the Hat Deposit," said Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp. "The 320-meter eastward extension, combined with probable continued mineralization beyond the current limits of drilling, highlights the significant expansion potential of the system and positions Doubleview for a meaningful resource upgrade."The Hat Deposit, characterized by its copper-gold-cobalt-scandium association, continues to demonstrate robust continuity of mineralization and growing tonnage potential. Drilling to date indicates a broad, strongly mineralized system with elevated scandium and copper values that support the Company's strategy to define one of North America's largest critical-metal-bearing polymetallic deposits. Important amounts of gold, cobalt and silver are present.A detailed drill section and plan map illustrating the newly expanded mineralized area are provided below. In addition, a gallery of approximately 60 core photographs from recently completed, non-reported holes accompanies this release. The Company anticipates announcing assay results from these holes as soon as analytical data are received, validated, and interpreted."IMPORTANT VISUAL DISCLOSURE: The visual observations of mineralization, including core photos, are preliminary in nature and are not a substitute for assay results. The Company cautions that visual estimates of mineralization are not indicative of the actual grade or economic viability of the resource. Assay results are pending for the core included in the photos and will be published once received, verified, and analyzed under the Company's strict Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program.Figure 1: Drill Plan with the Induced Polarization Plan and 2024 Conceptual Pit Outline, showing the new extensions.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/271591_b1e46f8114db4806_001full.jpgFigure 2: Section on H093 to H096, H100 to H102, and 2024 Conceptual Pit Outline To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/271591_b1e46f8114db4806_002full.jpgCore Photo Gallery: The following images are showing a few mineralization intervals of the H097 to H102:To view the enhanced versions of these graphics, please visit:https://www.doubleview.ca/core-samples-h100-to-h102/About Doubleview Gold CorpDoubleview Gold Corp (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) is a Canadian resource company advancing the 100%-owned Hat Polymetallic Project, located in the prolific Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.

Shoucheng x Wisson: World’s First ‘Robotic Auto-Charging’ Pilot Ends

Shoucheng x Wisson: World’s First ‘Robotic Auto-Charging’ Pilot Ends

HONG KONG, Oct 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In late summer and early autumn, the underground parking lot of Chengdu ICC (International Commerce District) witnessed a technological breakthrough that redefined the traditional charging model for new-energy vehicles. Jointly developed by Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK)and its portfolio company Wisson Technology, China’s first ‘Automated Charging Robot Pop-up Experience Station’ has successfully concluded after 30 days of operation.Powered by Wisson’s proprietary FlexibleCharge automated charging solution, this pilot not only achieved truly cross-brand, cross-model, and publicly accessible commercial operation, but also served over 1,300 users, 1,200 charging sessions, and 100+ vehicle models—establishing the industry’s first high-usage single-unit commercial case. The results mark a milestone: robotic automatic charging technology is now ready for large-scale market deployment.Notably, the pilot coincided with the official release of the ‘Three-Year Doubling Action Plan (2025–2027) for EV Charging Infrastructure Service Capacity’ by China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and related ministries. The policy aims to double the number and capacity of public charging facilities within three years and accelerate the construction of intelligent and connected energy-supplement systems—creating both a policy tailwind and market momentum for next-generation automated charging technologies.I. High Success Rate and User Satisfaction Across 100 Models and 1,000+ VehiclesThe pilot was open to the public without restrictions, serving over 100 different brands and models of vehicles—including private cars, fleet vehicles, and taxis. With nearly 1,300 users and 1,200 total sessions, it represents the most complex and highest-volume single-unit commercial deployment in the industry to date, far surpassing earlier demonstrations that were either manually assisted, limited to single brands, or restricted to closed pilot zones.Despite challenging conditions such as dim lighting, decorative ambient effects, and summer heat within the underground car park, the robot operated stably throughout, achieving nearly 100% success rate and 97% customer satisfaction.This success is underpinned by Wisson’s distinctive FlexibleCharge technology architecture. Based on the world’s first Pliabot(R) Flexible Robotics System, its ‘bionic flexible arm + embodied AI’ configuration enables strong environmental adaptability, wide model compatibility, and disruptive cost advantages. Free from reliance on expensive high-precision sensors, it meets the key commercial demands of safety, seamless user experience, and low-cost operation—making it ideally suited for mass deployment.II. High User Stickiness: Up to Six ‘Re-purchases’ in a Single MonthDuring the pilot, around 30% of targeted local users registered voluntarily for the experience. As popularity surged, many users queued for access, prompting organizers to limit session durations to accommodate growing demand.Beyond showcasing the value and appeal of automated charging, the event also illustrated how sustained public exposure has effectively completed the early-stage user education process. Comments such as ‘I’ve heard about it, but this is my first time actually trying it’, ‘My car brand supports automated charging but hasn’t rolled it out yet’, and ‘It feels like a sci-fi movie come to life’ frequently appeared in user feedback.Among registered users, 52% opted for paid single or multiple experience packages, and 97% reported satisfaction, with 86% saying they were “very satisfied.” Users praised the service for its seamless operation, safety, affordability, and compatibility with diverse vehicle types. Some users even became repeat customers—one particularly loyal driver returned six times in a month, insisting on the robotic service each visit.III. Fourfold Success: Brand, Traffic, Users, and RevenueAs the first case of its kind in the industry, the pilot successfully explored a new model of ‘experience economy + traffic economy’ driven by robotic service innovation. It not only boosted local station orders against the market trend but also proved the commercial viability of robotic charging while breaking through the limitations of traditional site marketing.From a branding perspective, the robot’s deployment created a high-impact social topic and stimulated tens of millions of online impressions through organic UGC (user-generated content) and social discussions. In terms of traffic, users, and revenue, participation by mid- to high-end vehicle owners significantly elevated the station’s image and customer structure, generating incremental income and transaction growth.IV. Policy Tailwinds Accelerate a New Era of Intelligent Energy ReplenishmentLooking ahead, as smart-parking systems expand nationwide and the NDRC’s Three-Year Doubling Plan takes effect—alongside the rapid maturation of high-frequency applications such as Robotaxi and intelligent logistics—automated charging is poised to become a key enabler in the intelligent transportation ecosystem.Leveraging Shoucheng Holdings’ strengths in capital, technological ecosystems, and asset operations, combined with Wisson Technology’s innovation in embodied flexible-intelligence robotics, the two companies are well-positioned to lead the industrialization of robotic charging infrastructure. Together, they aim to accelerate the transformation of frontier technologies into sustainable urban services, empowering the high-quality development of the robotics industry and advancing the integration of smart infrastructure across China’s cities.

Focus Graphite’s Lac Knife Material Passes C4V Validation Testing, Advances to Next-Stage Battery Qualification

Focus Graphite’s Lac Knife Material Passes C4V Validation Testing, Advances to Next-Stage Battery Qualification

Independent U.S. laboratories confirm Phase I battery performance, paving the way for pouch cell and OEM-scale testingOttawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 22, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and innovator of next-generation lithium-ion battery technology, is pleased to announce that its Lac Knife graphite anode material has successfully passed Phase I battery validation testing, conducted by both Charge CCCV LLC ("C4V") and American Energy Technologies Company ("AETC"). The concurrent, independent U.S. laboratory test programs confirmed that Lac Knife natural graphite achieved near-theoretical electrochemical capacity (~371 mAh/g), demonstrating high purity, crystallinity, and strong suitability for lithium-ion battery anode applications. The successful completion of these evaluations represents a major milestone toward commercial-scale qualification within C4V's global supply-chain program and future OEM-level validation.The testing was conducted using material refined at AETC under Focus's direction. AETC performed control testing based on its established parameters for Focus's graphite, while C4V carried out independent validation through its proprietary Digital DNA™ ("DDNA") program, which applies industry-standard cell performance benchmarks. Despite minor variations inherent to coin-cell assembly and laboratory calibration, both laboratories confirmed that Focus's Lac Knife material exceeded internal baseline qualification thresholds. Based on these results, C4V has advanced the material to Phase II of its qualification program, which includes pouch-cell fabrication and large-format validation for commercial-scale evaluation. In parallel, Focus plans to explore additional large-format testing initiatives with AETC to further assess scalability and performance consistency.Under identical test conditions, Focus's natural graphite (lot number GN250619002) was compared to C4V's baseline synthetic graphite reference material. The Focus sample achieved a first-cycle discharge capacity of approximately 373 mAh/g-essentially reaching the theoretical maximum for graphite-while exhibiting good stability. Although electrode density and long-cycle performance were modestly lower than the baseline, the material surpassed C4V's qualification benchmarks, confirming its readiness for large-format pouch-cell validation-a more accurate and scalable measure of performance using a semi-automated testing platform that directly correlates with electric-vehicle ("EV") and energy-storage-system ("ESS") cell designs required by original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs").The Company previously demonstrated strong lithium-ion battery performance from its Lac Knife material; however, these independently verified, third-party results now supersede earlier findings and establish a modern, industry-standard baseline that will support future offtake qualification and commercial evaluation."These results validate the quality of our Lac Knife graphite and its suitability for next-generation anode production," said Dean Hanisch, CEO of Focus Graphite. "Having both AETC and C4V confirm the material's strong performance gives us confidence as we move into pouch cell testing - the next step toward commercial readiness.""C4V is pleased to see Focus Graphite's Lac Knife material successfully complete our Phase 1 validation process under our DDNA program," said Baasit Ali, VP Supply Chain at C4V. "The material has demonstrated strong electrochemical validation and purity characteristics that align well with our high-performance anode requirements. We look forward to advancing into pouch cell fabrication and validation, which will provide a clearer picture of its scalability for EV and ESS applications."Next StepsFabrication and testing of pouch cells using Focus's Lac Knife graphite by C4VLong-term cycling and safety validation under C4V's DDNA qualification programSubsequent scaling to large-format cell testing with industry partners for commercial qualificationFocus Graphite's continued collaboration with C4V and AETC underscores its commitment to establishing a North American supply of high-performance, ESG-compliant graphite anode material, supporting the energy transition and critical minerals independence objectives shared by both Canada and its allies.

Oman Hosts the Oman Investment Forum 2025 in the United Kingdom

LONDON, Oct 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Sultanate of Oman, represented by the Ministry of Finance in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, held the Oman Investment Forum 2025 in London to deepen financial, investment, and economic cooperation between the two nations. The event underscored the strategic weight of the Oman-UK partnership and the role of the Strategic Advisory Group (SAG), established in 2018 as the institutional mechanism through which the two countries coordinate investment, fiscal reform, and economic-diversification strategy.Oman enters this year's forum with one of the strongest fiscal positions in the region. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) reached USD 78.8 billion by the end of the second quarter of 2025, a 12.8 percent increase compared to 2024. Inflows during the first half of 2025 totalled USD 8.8 billion, reflecting rising international confidence.Omani officials opened the forum by highlighting progress in stabilizing public finances and diversifying the economy. The government's fiscal discipline has sharply reduced public debt from 68 percent of GDP in 2020 to 34 percent in 2024, cutting debt-service costs by over 12 percent from peak levels. Nasser Al Jashmi, Chairman of the Tax Authority and Head of the Omani Delegation to the Strategic Advisory Group, presented "Pathways to Oman's Financial Stability," outlining key reforms in public finance and debt management that have strengthened the country's fiscal resilience and global credit standing. He said, "The historical Omani-UK relations stand as a pillar of friendship and shared prosperity. This forum is a testament to the strong and enduring partnership between our two countries within the framework of the Strategic Advisory Group (SAG). The UK is currently the largest foreign investor in the Sultanate's economy, accounting for 51.2% of total FDI, which emphasizes the importance of this forum in enhancing the growth of investments between the two countries and global investment collaboration."H.E.
