Brisbane, Australia, May 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) ("Adyton" or the "Company") is pleased to report the discovery of a new high-grade gold zone within the existing resource, from its 2025 infill drill program at the Gameta Gold development Project (50/50 JV), located on Fergusson Island in Papua New Guinea (PNG).The 2025 program included 4201 meters of largely infill drilling for a total of 36 diamond core holes. Drilling focused on areas within the existing deposit to better define and expand known mineralization. Prior to this drilling, the Gameta Project's Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) contained approximately 4.0 million tonnes (Mt) @ 1.33 g/t Au for 173 koz gold (indicated), and 10.5 Mt @ 1.01 g/t Au for 340 koz gold (inferred), within a conceptual open-pit shell.Hole GMDH009 returned 28.56 g/t Au over 12.0m starting from 146m downhole. This is the highest-grade intercept ever recorded by Adyton to date and highlights the presence of high-grade zones within the broader deposit. This result, along with other strong intercepts reported in this release, demonstrates the potential to enhance the overall grade of the planned open- pit at Gameta. These higher-grade zones could positively impact the upcoming Feasibility Study being advanced by Adyton and its JV partner EVIH.KEY HIGHLIGHTS Final assays from the 2025 infill drill program highlight the presence of locally high-grade zones at Gameta including the project's best intercept to date of 12m @28.56 g/t Au returning 342 g-m.Significant intercepts include:GMDH009 12m @ 28.56g/t Au from 146 m downholeGMDH008 13m @ 3.84g/t Au from 98 m downholeGMDH021 16m @ 2.2.07g/t Au from 51 m downholeGMDH010 6m @ 2.69g/t Au from 114 m downholeGMDH005 13m @ 1.88g/t Au from 49 m downholeGMDH013 13m @1.37g/t Au from 105 m downholeGMDH005 14m @1.05 g/t Au from 94 m downholeSeveral holes also intersected near surface mineralization with solid grades including hole GMDH001 with 9m @ 1.08g/t Au and hole GMDH002 6m @ 1.22g/t Au (see Table 1 below).These infill drill results have exceeded the Company's expectations and are expected to support an updated MRE, with several intersections returning grades above those reflected in the current model. The results may also support the conversion of a significant portion of the inferred resource to the indicated category."I am very pleased with these results, which have exceeded our expectations and highlight the strength of the Gameta Project," said Tim Crossley, Adyton CEO. "The project combines solid grades, near surface mineralisation, and favourable logistics, including access for barge transport to support envisioned development and concentrate shipment to end markets. We are now focused on advancing Gameta alongside the Wapolu Project, accelerating toward feasibility and permitting, with the goal of developing Gameta into a second production asset. Our vision for these projects is to unlock near-term cash flow through a disciplined Direct Ship concentrate strategy, while establishing a scalable foundation for long-term growth and value creation across the portfolio.""We are encouraged by the assay results at Gameta and, together with Adyton, plan to advance the project through MRE finalisation, Feasibility Studies, and permitting. Subject to permitting timelines, we are targeting a potential start of operations in the first half of 2028," said Gary Wang, EVIH CEO.Table 1: SIGNIFICANT INTERCEPTS, Gameta 2025 drilling 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/295948_dce2c12474fa2a8b_001full.jpgFigure 1: Map view at Gameta showing 2025 drillhole locations against historical drilling and topographyTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/295948_dce2c12474fa2a8b_002full.jpgFigure 2: Cross section looking northwest with significant drilling intercepts reported for GMDH009, GMDH010To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/295948_dce2c12474fa2a8b_003full.jpgFigure 3: Cross section looking northwest with significant drilling intercepts reported for GMDH004, GMDH006, GMDH001, GMDH005, GMDH008, GMDH013To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/295948_dce2c12474fa2a8b_004full.jpgTable 2 DRILL HOLE SUMMARYTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/295948_dce2c12474fa2a8b_005full.jpgCATALYSTS & OUTLOOK1) Fergusson Island Project (PNG):Focused on advancing the Wapolu and Gameta deposits toward potential production and cash flow.

JAKARTA, May 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Indonesia is the most spammed country in the world. In 2025, Truecaller identified 79 percent of all unknown calls in Indonesia as spam or fraud. Chile follows at 70 percent, up from 51 percent in just six months. Vietnam, Brazil, and India round out the top five. The data comes from Truecaller, the leading global platform for verifying contacts and blocking unwanted communication, with over 500 million users globally and over 68 billion spam and fraud calls identified in 2025.Behind each country’s ranking is a different story. In Indonesia and Mexico, over 40 percent of spam calls are identified as financial institutions – banks, lenders, and loan services. In Chile, the dominant category is not sales or scams but debt collection, which accounts for 38 percent of all spam, the highest concentration of any single category in any market globally. In Brazil and Nigeria, calls from Telcos flood the landscape, making it nearly impossible for users to distinguish a genuine carrier message from fraud. These findings point to a broader global shift — as automated spam scales, trust in unknown calls continues to decline."The scale of what this data shows should concern everyone. Fraud, impersonation, and scams are affecting people's daily lives in a way we have never seen before. In some countries, most unknown calls are now spam — that is a fundamental breakdown in how communication works. Our mission is to build trust in communication, and in 2026, we are focused on stopping fraud before it reaches people," said Rishit Jhunjhunwala, CEO of Truecaller.On March 31, 2026, Truecaller crossed 500 million monthly active users, with more than 150 million outside India. The full Spam and Fraud Report, including the complete top 10 ranking and regional breakdown, is available at the Truecaller Insights page.About TruecallerTruecaller is an essential part of everyday communication for 500 million active users worldwide, with more than one billion downloads since launch and 68 billion spam and fraud calls identified in 2025 alone.

SINGAPORE, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Daily shopping in Singapore often goes beyond picking up essentials. From groceries at neighbourhood supermarkets to online orders during festive sales, these routine purchases can become more rewarding when planned well. Many shoppers today explore Rewards Credit Cards as a way to earn cashback, points, or travel perks while managing everyday expenses. When selected based on lifestyle preferences, these cards can help transform routine spending into meaningful benefits without altering regular purchasing habits.Singapore's cost of living means that everyday expenses such as groceries, dining, transport, and digital subscriptions can easily cross SGD 1,200-1,800 monthly for an individual. Choosing a card that aligns with these spending patterns can make it easier to earn steady value across categories that already form part of daily life.Here are five everyday spending categories where Rewards Credit Cards may help you earn cashback or points from purchases you already make, plus one simple tip for getting more value from the rewards you accumulate.1. Turn Grocery Runs into Reward OpportunitiesGrocery shopping forms a significant part of monthly expenses in Singapore, especially with rising food prices. Using Rewards Credit Cards for purchases at supermarkets such as FairPrice, Cold Storage, or Giant can help you earn cashback or reward points on essential spending. If a household spends around SGD 500 monthly on groceries, even a modest 5% cashback rate can return SGD 25 per month, which adds up over time.Some credit cards also partner with grocery retailers to provide exclusive promotions or bonus reward days. Planning grocery purchases during promotional periods can also help maximise benefits while keeping everyday shopping habits unchanged.2. Enjoy Dining and Coffee Breaks with Extra PerksSingapore's vibrant food culture makes dining out a common lifestyle activity. Whether it is hawker meals averaging SGD 6-10 or café visits costing SGD 15-25 per visit, food-related spending can accumulate quickly. Rewards Credit Cards offering dining cashback or restaurant discounts can help make these experiences more enjoyable without increasing overall expenses.Some Credit Cards also provide exclusive dining deals at partner restaurants or offer bonus reward points during weekend dining.3. Make Online Shopping More Cost-EffectiveOnline shopping continues to grow rapidly in Singapore, especially during seasonal sales such as 9.9, 11.11, and 12.12 events. Rewards Credit Cards offering higher cashback or bonus points for online transactions can help shoppers gain extra value during these promotional periods. For example, if monthly online spending averages around SGD 300, cashback benefits ranging from 6% to 10% might generate steady savings.These perks can help enhance the shopping experience while encouraging smarter spending decisions.4. Convert Transport and Ride Expenses into SavingsDaily commuting costs in Singapore, including MRT fares, bus rides, and ride-hailing services, often total SGD 120-200 monthly. Using Rewards Credit Cards that offer cashback or reward points on transport expenses can help turn routine travel into a steady source of savings. Certain cards also offer additional benefits such as fuel discounts or ride-hailing promotions.These features can help individuals who drive or frequently use private transport services enjoy small but consistent savings.5. Earn Rewards While Paying Utility and Subscription BillsMonthly utility bills in Singapore generally range between SGD 120 and 180, while mobile, streaming, and broadband services often cost another SGD 60-120. Paying these recurring bills using Rewards Credit Cards can help accumulate points or cashback without additional effort.Some Credit Cards also provide bonus rewards for recurring transactions, making bill payments more valuable. Over time, these benefits can contribute towards travel redemptions, shopping vouchers, or statement credits.Pro Tip: Turn Reward Points into ExperiencesAfter earning rewards from everyday spending categories, cardholders may choose to redeem them for lifestyle experiences, such as travel bookings, hotel stays, or entertainment passes, instead of using them only for basic discounts. In Singapore, short regional holidays to destinations like Bangkok or Bali often cost between SGD 350 and SGD 800, and accumulated reward points may help reduce these expenses. Some Rewards Credit Cards offer curated lifestyle privileges, such as airport lounge access or event invitations.Making Everyday Shopping More MeaningfulWhen aligned with personal spending habits, Rewards Credit Cards can help turn routine purchases into opportunities for savings, travel, or exclusive experiences. Selecting a Credit Card based on individual lifestyle needs, spending categories, and reward preferences can help create consistent value across everyday transactions.With careful planning, tracking expenses, and choosing cards that reflect real-life spending patterns, shoppers can gradually transform routine purchases into enjoyable lifestyle benefits.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

LIMASSOL, CYPRUS, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Vaiz, a Cyprus-based work management platform, is growing its user base with a product principle most competitors ignore: zero employee surveillance. The platform has no keystroke logging, no screenshot capture, no mouse tracking, and no automatic activity monitoring. It is a deliberate product decision, not a missing feature.Vaiz combines tasks, documents, and team collaboration in one workspace — without any form of employee activity tracking.The announcement comes as workplace monitoring faces renewed criticism. In April 2026, a major technology company began installing software on employee computers to record keystrokes, mouse movements, and screen activity to train AI models. The decision triggered immediate employee backlash and public debate about the limits of employer surveillance. A growing number of teams are now looking for tools that help them coordinate work without tracking how people spend every minute.Why no-surveillance work management matters nowEmployee monitoring software has grown from a niche practice to a global norm. Adoption rose from 30 percent before the pandemic to 60 percent by 2022. In 2026, the EU AI Act classifies workplace AI monitoring as high-risk and restricts practices such as emotion recognition in employment, with penalties up to 35 million euros or 7 percent of global revenue.Research shows that 31 percent of monitored employees feel micromanaged, and 23 percent report a sense of constant surveillance. For small and mid-sized teams that depend on trust and speed, surveillance tools often cause more harm than the problems they claim to solve. Vaiz was designed for these teams. The platform does not include any automatic activity tracking, screen recording, or behavioural monitoring.What Vaiz offers instead of surveillanceVaiz is a unified work management platform that brings tasks, documents, files, and team discussions into a single workspace. Rather than tracking employee behaviour, the platform makes work visible through structure: task boards, project timelines, milestones, and shared documents that give everyone context without oversight software.The platform connects to over 2,000 applications through Zapier and offers native integrations with Slack, GitHub, and GitLab. Embedded tools include Figma, Miro, YouTube, Vimeo, Swagger, and GraphQL editors. A built-in AI assistant turns goals into task breakdowns, generates project plans, summarises discussions into action items, and improves document clarity. A native MCP server connects Vaiz to AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, and three public SDKs let developers extend the platform. The full list is available on the integrations page.Vaiz co-founder Konstantin Cherkasov explained the company's position: "We build tools that help teams coordinate their work, not tools that watch people. If a platform needs to capture your screen to know whether you are productive, the problem is not the employee — it is the platform."Switching and pricingVaiz's Migration Center supports one-click imports from Jira, Asana, Trello, YouTrack, Notion, Linear, Monday, ClickUp, and Wrike. Pricing starts with a forever free plan for up to 10 users, no credit card required. The Pro plan costs five US dollars per user per month, and the Premium plan costs nine US dollars per user per month. An Enterprise edition with on-premises deployment is available for organisations with data residency requirements. A 30-day free trial covers all paid plans, and startups qualify for a 50 percent discount.Development paceVaiz today releases version 2.84, which introduces calendar integration. Since September 2025, this is the tenth numbered release. The team has recently moved to a two-week release cycle, accelerating from the previous pace of roughly one major update every three weeks. Earlier releases in 2026 delivered an improved UI, Slack integration, Cursor IDE support, and an iOS app with full desktop parity. The public product roadmap is available on the website.The company's focus is building a connected workspace where teams can plan, execute, and communicate in one place — without tools that treat employees as subjects of observation. More information is available at vaiz.com.About VaizVaiz Ltd was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus. The company operates a cloud-based work management platform that combines task boards, documents, and automation in one workspace. Vaiz is used by cross-functional teams at startups, product companies, game studios, agencies, and growing businesses.Related linksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vaiz/Media contactBrand: VaizContact: Mike BurtonEmail: support@vaiz.comWebsite: https://vaiz.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
