Focus Graphite Secures Up to C$1.38 Million Under Natural Resource Canada’s First and Last Mile Fund ACN Newswire

Focus Graphite Secures Up to C$1.38 Million Under Natural Resource Canada’s First and Last Mile Fund

OTTAWA, ON, June 3, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has executed a non-repayable Contribution Agreement (the "Agreement") with Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") under the Government of Canada's newly established First and Last Mile Fund ("FLMF"), formerly the Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund, securing up to $1,378,700 in non-dilutive federal funding (the "Funding") to advance critical transportation and energy infrastructure planning under the Project Titled Lac Knife Graphite Mine Access Road and Hydro Connection (the "Project") for the Company's flagship Lac Knife Graphite Project ("Lac Knife") in northeastern Quebec.The Funding will support engineering, environmental, permitting, community engagement and feasibility activities required to advance the planned all-season access road and Hydro-Quebec grid connection toward a construction-ready, shovel-ready stage. Once completed, these pre-development activities are expected to materially de-risk future infrastructure development and significantly advance Lac Knife's pathway toward future construction, development financing, strategic partnerships and operation.The Funding forms part of the Government of Canada's recently announced C$3.6 billion Critical Minerals Investment Package, unveiled at the 2026 Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Convention by the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources. A cornerstone of the package is the C$1.5 billion FLMF, established to advance enabling infrastructure that moves strategic critical mineral projects toward construction readiness while strengthening domestic supply chains and supporting Canada's economic, defence and national security objectives."We are honoured to receive this support from the Government of Canada, which recognizes the strategic importance of the Lac Knife project to the North American critical minerals supply chain," said Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite. "As we advance toward permitting and development, this funding is a strong endorsement of Focus Graphite's role in helping build a secure domestic supply of high-grade graphite. We are also fortunate to have existing road and power infrastructure, providing a significant advantage as we move closer to production."Lac Knife hosts one of North America's highest-grade natural graphite deposits and represents a strategically important source of natural graphite for North American and allied supply chains. Natural graphite is a foundational material for lithium-ion batteries, advanced manufacturing, energy storage systems, and a growing range of defence and dual-use technologies, making secure domestic supply increasingly important to Canada and its allies."The objective is simple: advance Lac Knife, reduce risk and preserve shareholder capital," said Jason Latkowcer, Vice President of Corporate Development of Focus Graphite. "Around the world, governments and industry are moving quickly to secure critical mineral supply chains. We've heard that message directly from allies and strategic stakeholders. There isn't time to waste. This funding helps move Lac Knife from planning toward execution. Early technical work has already identified opportunities to improve access, and we expect further optimization as engineering and infrastructure planning advances. This is another tangible step toward building a strategic graphite asset for Canada and its allies."A key component of the program includes collaboration with Indigenous communities, including the Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak Mani-Utenam ("ITUM"). The Project includes the establishment of joint technical and steering committees, Indigenous workforce participation initiatives, skills development programs, community consultation activities and support for Indigenous participation in the future development and operation of the planned infrastructure. These activities align with the objectives of the First and Last Mile Fund to advance Indigenous leadership, engagement and participation throughout the development of strategic critical mineral infrastructure."The development of Lac Knife is a perfect example of Canada's new mining era: a strategic project, developed to benefit local economies, sustainably, and in partnership with Indigenous Peoples, along with advancing Canada's role as a reliable global supplier of critical minerals," said the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources. "By investing in the infrastructure and early work needed to advance this high-grade graphite project, we are reducing risk, accelerating development, and helping to build a secure, end-to-end supply chain-from mine to market. This is how we strengthen economic and supply chain security for decades to come."The infrastructure initiative is expected to deliver multiple long-term benefits to Canada and Quebec. The proposed access road will establish reliable year-round access to the Lac Knife site, while the future transmission connection will support the electrification of mining operations through Quebec's hydroelectric grid, reducing reliance on diesel-powered infrastructure and strengthening the sustainability, resilience and security of Canada's critical minerals supply chain. The planned infrastructure is expected to support future production, improve regional access and contribute to long-term economic development opportunities across Quebec's North Shore region.Federal Funding DetailsUnder the executed Agreement, NRCan will provide up to C$1,378,700 in non-repayable funding, representing approximately 50% of total eligible Project costs. Focus Graphite will contribute an equivalent amount toward the Project. The Agreement represents another important step in advancing Lac Knife and reinforces Canada's commitment to developing secure domestic critical mineral supply chains from extraction through processing and delivery into North American and allied markets.Funding will support the full work program outlined in the Agreement, including feasibility and engineering studies, environmental baseline work, geotechnical and LiDAR surveys, stakeholder engagement, regulatory and permitting activities and detailed infrastructure design. These activities are expected to culminate in finalized engineering plans, environmental assessments, community approvals and permit applications required to support future construction decisions.The Project is scheduled to continue through March 2028.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc. Focus Graphite Advanced Materials is redefining the future of critical minerals with two 100% owned world-class graphite projects and cutting-edge battery technology. Our flagship Lac Knife project stands as one of the most advanced high-purity graphite deposits in North America, with a fully completed feasibility study.

How to Select the Suitable Personal Loan Options in Singapore for Home Renovations ACN Newswire

How to Select the Suitable Personal Loan Options in Singapore for Home Renovations

SINGAPORE, June 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - For many in Singapore, a home makeover is more than just a fresh coat of paint; it is an investment in comfort and property value. Understanding how to navigate the financing landscape ensures you can complete your project without compromising your long-term financial stability.Thus, selecting the suitable personal loans in Singapore for home renovations requires a careful balance of flexibility, speed, and cost. While specific renovation loans exist, many homeowners find that the appropriate personal loans offer the versatility needed to cover both structural works and the finishing touches that a dedicated renovation loan might exclude.The strategies below focus on how to evaluate and choose the suitable Personal Loan for your renovation needs.Evaluate total project scope against loan limitsBefore applying for financing, it is essential to determine whether your renovation vision fits within the constraints of a traditional renovation loan. In Singapore, dedicated renovation loans are typically capped at SGD 30,000 or six times your monthly income, whichever is lower.If you are renovating a 4-room resale HDB or a mid-sized condo, costs can easily exceed SGD 50,000 to SGD 80,000. In these scenarios, seeking the appropriate personal loan is often more practical. Personal loans in Singapore can offer much higher ceilings, sometimes up to SGD 200,000 or eight times your monthly income for high earners, providing the necessary capital for extensive remodelling, subject to bank policies and eligibility.Prioritise usage flexibilityOne of the significant advantages of a personal loan over a specialised renovation loan is the freedom to use the funds as you see fit.Renovation Loans: These are strictly for structural or built-in works, such as flooring, tiling, and electrical wiring. The bank often pays the contractor directly via cashier's orders, meaning you never handle the cash.Personal Loans: These funds are disbursed directly into your bank account. This allows you to pay for specific items that renovation loans typically exclude, such as designer furniture, smart appliances, and decorative lighting.Compare Effective Interest Rate (EIR)When selecting a loan, do not be swayed by the flat interest rate alone. The true cost of borrowing is reflected in the Effective Interest Rate (EIR), which accounts for processing fees and the compounding nature of interest.In Singapore's competitive 2026 market, some of the personal loans offer attractive flat rates from 1.00% p.a. with EIRs from 1.93% p.a. Always check if the bank offers a $0 processing fee promotion, as this can significantly lower the EIR and keep your initial cash flow healthy.Consolidate multiple renovation costsA major renovation often creates several different bills, from furniture store instalments to contractor payment plans. Managing multiple due dates and interest rates can feel overwhelming once the work concludes.Choosing the appropriate personal loan allows you to combine these different costs into one simple monthly payment. This strategy makes it easier to track your money and often secure a lower interest rate than retail credit plans. By centralising your debt, this may help reduce missed payments and improve visibility over repayment obligations.A faster application made easy with digital toolsThe modern Singaporean financial landscape values speed and efficiency. Many homeowners now use digital application tools to streamline the loan application process.Lenders that integrate with MyInfo may help streamline the approval process and facilitate faster disbursement of funds, subject to credit assessment and eligibility criteria. This can help reduce potential delays in renovation timeline and support timely settlement of contractor invoices, where required.Match repayment tenures to your cash flowMost personal loans in Singapore offer flexible repayment tenures ranging from one to five years, with some lenders extending up to seven years.While a longer tenure reduces monthly commitment, it increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan. The key is to match your monthly instalments to your actual disposable income, thus maintaining a sufficient buffer for potential renovation cost overruns.Final thoughtsChoosing the right financing tool is just as important as choosing the right contractor. By prioritising flexibility and affordability, you can ensure your home transformation is both beautiful and financially sound.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

GMG Applies for Additional Environmental Approvals to Produce Graphene in USA ACN Newswire

GMG Applies for Additional Environmental Approvals to Produce Graphene in USA

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, June 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has submitted an additional application to the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") for the manufacture and sale of graphene and graphene coatings (THERMAL-XR®), lubricants (G® LUBRICANT) and other graphene fluids in the United States.GMG has submitted a Significant New Use Notice ("SNUN") to the US EPA under pre-manufacture notice (PMN) P-25-0018. Under this application, GMG is seeking authorisation to manufacture, distribute, sell, use and dispose of graphene and graphene coatings, lubricants and fluids across multiple industries in the United States. GMG expects to obtain this approval by the end of June 2027.This application is in addition to the existing approval under PMN P-25-0018, which authorises the Company to export, distribute, sell, use and dispose of graphene coatings across multiple industries in the United States.Craig Nicol, CEO & Managing Director of the Company, commented: "Submitting the SNUN is a decisive step in our US strategy. This application, if approved, will grant GMG the authorisation to manufacture graphene domestically in the United States — not simply to export into the market, but to produce within it. That distinction matters. It positions GMG to serve US customers at scale, deepen our industrial footprint, and build a genuinely American supply chain for graphene-enabled products. We expect EPA approval by the end of June 2027 and are planning our commercial operations accordingly."Jack Perkowski, Chairman and Non-Executive Director of the Company, commented: "The United States is the most important market in the world for what GMG is building. This SNUN filing reflects our commitment to America — not just as a customer base, but as a centre of production, capital formation, and long-term growth. We are looking to the US to drive the next chapter of GMG's commercial expansion."About THERMAL-XR®:THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE coating system is a unique method of improving the conductivity of corroded heat exchange surfaces and improving and maintaining the performance of new units at peak levels. The process coats and protects heat exchange surfaces while improving and rebuilding the lost corroded thermal conductivity and increasing the heat transfer rate by leveraging the physics of GMG Graphene, resulting in an efficiency improvement and a potential power reduction. THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE is now patented for 20 years in Australia and is expected to be patented in other countries around the world.About G® LUBRICANT:G® LUBRICANT is what management believes to be a transformative graphene liquid concentrate additive designed to enhance the performance of diesel and gasoline (petrol) engines. This product has the potential to reshape the future of the global liquid fuels industry and offers an innovative solution that optimises efficiency and power for stationary or mobile engines. G® LUBRICANT, a graphene liquid concentrate that can be added to any mineral or synthetic oil used in an internal combustion engine in a 1:100 dosage, has been verified by the University of Queensland to increase fuel efficiency by up to 8.4% in a diesel engine, as announced in February 2025.1 G® LUBRICANT is now patented for 20 years in Europe, the US, and China.1RSU GrantsThe Company is also pleased to announce that following the annual remuneration review, its Board of Directors have approved the grant of an aggregate of 783,590 Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") to employees and directors of the Company pursuant to its Restricted Share and Performance Share Plan and the Stock Option Plan.When vested, each RSU entitles the holder thereof to receive one Share upon exercise in accordance with the Plan. The holder at their own discretion, and separately to the Company, may action those shares accordingly for their personal use.About GMG:GMG is an Australian-based clean-technology company that develops, manufactures and sells energy-saving and energy-storage solutions, enabled by graphene produced via its in-house production process. GMG uses its proprietary process to decompose natural gas (i.e., methane) into its natural elements — carbon (as graphene), hydrogen, and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high-quality, low-cost, scalable, tuneable, and low- to no-contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities and to secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on a graphene-enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating), which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants, and data centres. GMG has also developed a graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels, initially for diesel engines.In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively, with financial support from the Australian Government, to progress R&D and commercialisation of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries"). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry aimed at improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries.GMG's 4 critical business objectives are:Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processesBuild Revenue from Energy Savings ProductsDevelop Next-Generation BatteryDevelop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution CapabilityFor further information please contact:Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com, +61 415 445 223Leo Karabelas at Focus Communications Investor Relations, leo@fcir.ca, +1 647 689 6041Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws.

Vancouver, British Columbia, June 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (WKN: A1W038) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has appointed Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord Genuity") as financial advisor in connection with a formal strategic review process (the "Review"). The Review has been initiated by Doubleview with a primary focus on potential sales of the Company, with a view to maximizing shareholder value.The Review will explore and evaluate a broad range of strategic and financial options, which may include a potential sale of the Hat Project or other near-term alternatives, a merger, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, joint venture, business combination, recapitalization, special dividend, strategic investments (including potential participation from government-backed entities and sovereign wealth funds), or such other transaction as the Board determines is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.Canaccord Genuity will provide comprehensive advisory services throughout the Review, including financial analysis and valuation, transaction structuring, merger modelling, negotiation support, market monitoring, and, if requested by the Board, fairness opinions. The engagement also provides Doubleview with access to Canaccord Genuity's extensive global network of strategic and financial counterparties across the gold, copper, and critical minerals sectors.Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented:"The Hat Project has delivered a robust Preliminary Economic Assessment with an after-tax NPV(5%) ranging from C$6.73 billion to C$7.27 billion at consensus metal prices and C$13.53 billion to C$14.85 billion at spot metal prices, and an IRR ranging from 19% to 39%, demonstrating exceptional economics and significant critical-minerals exposure, including potential value contribution from a scandium and cobalt recovery circuit. Engaging Canaccord Genuity to lead a formal strategic review process allows the Board to thoroughly and independently evaluate all available options to unlock the full value of the Hat Polymetallic Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle for the benefit of our shareholders and stakeholders. We believe the current strong commodities environment and the global focus on critical minerals supply security make this an opportune moment to pursue this process."The Company cautions that the Hat Project Preliminary Economic Assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.

The project hosts a porphyry-style mineralized system and has been the subject of extensive drilling, geological modelling, metallurgical work, and technical studies.

52TOYS Secures Strategic Position in Hong Kong-Macau Core Hub with Grand Opening of Hong Kong International Airport Store ACN Newswire

52TOYS Secures Strategic Position in Hong Kong-Macau Core Hub with Grand Opening of Hong Kong International Airport Store

HONG KONG, Jun 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China’s leading toy brand 52TOYS officially opened a new store at Hong Kong International Airport. Located at Shop 7E101A, Level 7 Departures East Hall (Restricted Area), Terminal 1 of Hong Kong International Airport, a core global transportation hub, the store features thoughtful design and a differentiated product matrix, creating a toy space that offers both trendy texture and cultural warmth, thereby meeting the needs of global travelers and serving as an important window for the brand in the international market.Airport-Inspired Design Creates an International Benchmark StoreThe Hong Kong Airport store follows the brand’s airport flagship store design style, forming a north-south pairing with the Beijing Capital International Airport store as the brand’s dual international “image ambassadors”. It adopts a unique retro terminal style design, comprehensively shaping a trendy cultural base with both retro temperament and future imagination through its spatial structure, material selection, and the integration of terminal elements.In terms of spatial composition, the intertwining and combination of geometric volumes creates a strong architectural sense, paired with light and shadow to create a dynamic futuristic vibe. In terms of materials, the rough concrete texture collides with the cold metal finish, injecting the hardcore texture of industrial style into the retro backdrop and strengthening the atmosphere of the trendy base. Terminal elements such as airplane turbines and runways are cleverly integrated, continuing and strengthening the airport’s sense of place, which adds a different kind of trendy fun to travelers’ journeys, allowing passengers to enjoy a unique travel experience during their waiting time and unlock a brand-new airport leisure experience.The Hong Kong Airport store saw strong visitor traffic and robust sales on its opening day, demonstrating the strong market appeal of the 52TOYS brand and product portfolio. Customers on site commented, “It’s such a great store — it really killed the boredom of waiting for my flight!”, while others said, “There are so many impressive products that I want to pack them all into my suitcase.”Differentiated Product Mix and Signature Displays Deliver a Travel Experience Full of SurprisesThe store is carefully planned around airport travel scenarios and the needs of different consumer segments. At the entrance, a product zone for POUKAPOUKA neck pillows and plush cushions is specially set up, directly matching the essential travel needs. Further inside, themed zones dedicated to popular proprietary IPs including POUKAPOUKA, NOOK and CiCiLu feature scenario-based displays alongside new products. Special IP introduction signage has also been installed to vividly present the spiritual core of the IPs.The store offers a rich and highly layered product portfolio with particularly strong differentiation advantages. According to the store manager, leveraging the unique passenger traffic profile of Hong Kong International Airport, 52TOYS' products with Chinese cultural characteristics, such as the Hyper-Activated and BEASTBOX series, have become highly popular among overseas consumers as sought-after Chinese-style souvenirs. Large-scale collectible figures with strong display and gifting value have also proven especially popular, further demonstrating the brand’s strengths in product portfolio and its broad consumer reach.In addition, the store has launched multiple Hong Kong Airport-exclusive products, including POUKAPOUKA pineapple bun magnetic stickers, hooded neck pillows, and luggage tags, as well as LITTLE BUNS Hong Kong Kung Fu Journey magnetic stickers and Panda Roll Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng series magnetic stickers. Fusing Hong Kong local culture with practical travel attributes, these products serve both as meaningful travel keepsakes and highly distinctive city souvenirs, highlighting the brand’s deep understanding of segmented consumer scenarios and consumer mindset.Strengthening Presence Across Key Hong Kong and Macau Gateway Hubs to Reinforce a New Global Development LandscapeAs one of the world’s busiest aviation hubs, Hong Kong International Airport connects more than 200 destinations worldwide and brings together an international, high-net-worth and highly mobile consumer base, making it a prime gateway for brands seeking to expand into international markets. Following the opening of the Studio City Macau brand store in November 2025 and the Beijing Capital International Airport store in February 2026, the launch of the Hong Kong Airport store marks the official completion of 52TOYS’ strategic presence across key transportation hubs in mainland China, Macau, and Hong Kong, further adding a critical pillar to the company’s international offline expansion strategy.Industry observers noted that the Hong Kong Airport location is expected to bring three major areas of incremental value to 52TOYS. Firstly, it enables the company to secure a position within the global traffic hub and efficiently reach consumers worldwide through Hong Kong International Airport’s extensive international connectivity, accelerating global expansion. Secondly, it provides access to high-net-worth consumer groups through the airport’s premium passenger structure, creating a new growth engine for offline retail while further enhancing brand influence. Thirdly, it establishes an international brand image showcase, using the airport store as a signature brand window to amplify the global influence of the IP portfolio and further promote Chinese toy culture internationally.Having deeply cultivated the toy industry for many years, 52TOYS continues to strengthen its refined offline layout and innovate across consumer scenarios. From core commercial districts to transportation hubs, and from the domestic market to global expansion, the company continues to integrate toys into consumers’ everyday lifestyles. Looking forward, 52TOYS will use the Hong Kong Airport store as a new starting point to accelerate its international expansion, connecting with consumers worldwide through diversified high-quality IPs and products while further unleashing the vitality of Chinese toy culture in the global market.

DST Files for Hong Kong IPO: Asset Operation Management Services and Ecosystem Synergy Driving Growth

HONG KONG, Jun 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The China's road freight industry is accelerating its transition towards electrification and digitalization. The large-scale deployment of battery charging and swapping networks, intelligent scheduling platforms, and nationwide service facilities is transforming logistics electric vehicle (“EV”) from mere transport tools into systemic infrastructure carriers. Driven by favorable traffic policies, operational subsidies, and China’s dual-carbon goals, industry consolidation is gathering pace.Against this backdrop, DST Sustainable Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“DST” or the “Company”), a leading provider of intelligent logistics EV management solutions in China, has officially filed its listing application with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. According to Frost & Sullivan, the Company ranked first in China’s logistics EV management industry in terms of managed fleet size, network coverage, and revenue as of 2025, positioning it as a leading candidate in the sector’s public market debut.Ecosystem Synergy Drives Accumulation of Service Management CapabilitiesDST leverages its data-driven digital infrastructure and nationwide service network to provide one-stop solutions throughout the EV lifecycle including EV management services, EV leasing and EV sales. Its comprehensive capabilities are continuously honed through deep-seated synergies across the industrial chain and service network, its digital and intelligent technology ecosystem, and its customer ecosystem.At the industrial-chain and service-network level, DST has built a complete synergy system that spans upstream, midstream, and downstream activities. Upstream synergy focuses on vehicles and batteries. DST works closely with leading OEMs and battery companies to jointly customize vehicle models tailored to a wide range of logistics scenarios, including urban distribution and trunk-line scenarios. Together, they promote the development of a standardized battery-swapping ecosystem and collaborate on vehicle lifecycle management from the source. Currently, DST has collaborated with 19 OEMs, covering 89 models across 26 brands, and the co-developed vehicles accounted for more than 75.3% of its managed EV fleet. Through these deeply intertwined supply chain relationships, DST has built a clear competitive edge in vehicle-model suitability and full-lifecycle cost control.Midstream synergy involves infrastructure and service networks. By integrating charging service providers nationwide, DST has achieved interoperability with more than 2.8 million battery charging and swapping facilities and built a large-scale energy-refueling network. As of the end of 2025, its service network covers all prefecture-level administrative divisions in Mainland China, comprising 419 fulfillment centers, 2,827 maintenance and repair centers, and unified service standards that ensure timely responses and consistent quality nationwide.Downstream synergy focuses on asset disposal, aiming to manage residual value and maximize asset value. Using real-time battery-data monitoring, operational history analysis, and secondhand-market information, DST provides pricing and disposal recommendations for vehicle residual-value management. For power batteries, it has established a closed-loop “usage - monitoring - second-life utilization - recycling” system that unlocks value throughout the vehicle lifecycle and transforms traditional end-of-life disposal into an ongoing revenue stream.In terms of digital and intelligent technology ecosystem synergy, DST has been continuously advancing the industry's digital and intelligent capabilities through deep collaboration between its self-developed platforms and external technology partners. It has established strategic partnerships with OEMs and autonomous driving technology companies, and introduced the DST TC50, an autonomous vehicle purpose-built for logistics. As of the latest practicable date, DST had deployed 474 L4 autonomous vehicles in proof-of-concept pilot programs across various real-world logistics scenarios. In addition, through collaborative development of core functions like intelligent scheduling and predictive maintenance, DST relies on data interoperability and collaborative innovation on its technology platform to extend its digital and intelligent capabilities beyond its own operations and empower the broader industry.In terms of customer ecosystem synergy, DST has achieved cross-industry customer collaboration and deep scenario-based synergy. The Company has served more than 7,500 enterprise customers across diverse industries, including logistics, food and beverage, retail, and cold-chain logistics, and provides customized solutions for different logistics scenarios, including urban distribution, instant delivery, and trunk-line transport. Digital systems such as “FleetHub”, and AssetLink, are deeply embedded into customers’ operational workflows, creating system-level switching costs. Net dollar retention stood at 132.8% and 134.2% for 2024 and 2025, respectively, while customers with more than three years of cooperation accounted for approximately 92% of managed vehicles, reflecting sustained purchasing expansion by existing customers and long-standing, stable trust relationships.Data Assets and AI Synergy Drive Cost Reduction and Efficiency Gains in LogisticsDST has built a digital technology architecture anchored in data, operational expertise, and AI, integrating AI capabilities into its IoT networks, proprietary software systems, and operational decision-making models. This deepens its digital and intelligent operations and drives cost reduction and efficiency improvement across the logistics industry.After a decade of operations, DST has built an end-to-end data repository covering vehicle real-time status, road and driving conditions, business scenarios, and other dimensions. Through continuous accumulation and cleaning, these data serve as the foundation for optimizing scheduling algorithms, predicting equipment failures, and assessing residual value, providing high-quality input for AI applications. Guided by actual vehicle usage scenarios, these data assets create synergies across four key dimensions: asset, energy, maintenance and repair, and safety.In terms of asset management, DST uses IoT and AI-driven intelligent deployment to dynamically optimize vehicle–demand matching, reduce deadhead ratio, and improve asset-turnover efficiency. Meanwhile, drawing on real-time battery data, vehicle operational history, and secondhand-market information, it provides residual-value management recommendations that enable customers and asset holders to achieve more efficient vehicle disposal and value recovery. This marks DST’s shift from passive depreciation to active value management in asset management, enabling continuous value unlock over the full asset lifecycle, lowering average daily holding costs and capital tied up per vehicle, and boosting return on assets.In terms of energy management, “FleetCharge” platform integrates more than 2.8 million third-party battery charging and swapping facilities and uses vehicle route data, battery charge levels, and electricity spot prices to generate customized charging schedules, reducing energy costs and streamlining cross-project expense reconciliation. By harnessing peak/off-peak electricity price differentials and intelligently scheduling charging sequences, energy costs become an optimizable variable rather than a fixed expense. For logistics companies, this reduces unit energy costs and prevents delivery delays caused by poorly planned charging, delivering benefits in both cost savings and operational efficiency.In terms of maintenance and repair network, its “Xiaochao MRO” system uses AI-powered predictive fault alerts to identify potential vehicle problems early, minimizing capacity losses from unscheduled downtime and additional costs from emergency repairs. DST’s maintenance network covers more than 2,800 service centers nationwide, supporting full-lifecycle management with consistent and controllable service quality. This directly enables logistics customers to lower maintenance costs and increase vehicle uptime, turning the uncontrollable risks of unplanned downtime and maintenance costs from unpredictable into predictable and manageable—marking a shift from reactive maintenance to proactive prevention.In terms of safety and risk management, its “FleetGuard” system enables preventive action through driving-behavior analysis and risk assessment, real-time intervention via live monitoring and early warnings, and closed-loop post-incident management through insurance claims handling and accident response, creating a complete risk-management framework across the entire driving process. As of the end of 2025, the system had intervened in more than 7.8 million medium-to-high-risk driving behaviors. Lower accident rates reduce insurance premiums and downtime losses, and also enhance post-accident claims efficiency and cut vehicle recovery time, significantly improving the overall cost structure of operations.Ongoing accumulation of data assets and continuous algorithm iteration have steadily driven cost-reduction gains. From 2023 and 2025, the number of vehicles managed per service personnel increased from 134 to 320, and per-vehicle operating costs fell 8.1% from 2024 to 2025. By integrating AI capabilities into its digital technology architecture, the larger its managed fleet and the richer its data, the greater the prediction accuracy and dispatching efficiency of its AI models become, and the more sustained the unit cost reduction potential. This fully enables digital and intelligent operations and has become DST’s core moat, setting it apart from traditional fleet management companies.Sector Tailwinds and Rising Marginal Returns: A Growth Thesis ProvenFrom an external perspective, DST is positioned at the intersection of two structural opportunities. The first is the accelerating electrification substitution with substantial growth in the sector. The number of logistics vehicles in operation grew at a 40.5% CAGR from 2021 to 2025 and is expected to reach 8.1 million units by 2030, capturing nearly 40% penetration. The second is the rising demand for management services, with the logistics EV vehicle management market projected to reach RMB325.1 billion by 2030 and growing at a 39.8% CAGR from 2025 to 2030. As battery-health management, charging scheduling, and residual-value assessment become increasingly complex, the addressable market for professional fleet management platforms is widening. With its nationwide service network, digital infrastructure, and standardized service capabilities, DST is poised to steadily grow its footprint in this incremental market.On the financial front, DST is at the early stage of increasing marginal returns. From 2023 to 2025, revenue grew from RMB2.35 billion to RMB4.14 billion, a CAGR of 32.7%, with the share of management services revenue rising from 34.6% to 46.0%, representing a continuous optimisation of income structure. Gross margin expanded from 17.1% to 21.0%, while the net loss ratio narrowed significantly from 35.8% to 15.8%. Adjusted EBITDA achieved a CAGR of 67.6%, and the Company has recorded positive operating cash flow for three consecutive years, reaching RMB1.463 billion in 2025. With its operational cash generation capability already proven, the Company's profitability is poised to further improve as sector tailwinds materialize and internal efficiencies rise.DST’s Hong Kong listing application comes at a time when multiple trends—supportive policies, accelerating electrification substitution, and the digital transformation of road freight—are converging. The Company is well-positioned to leverage capital markets to amplify its network effects and technological advantages, reinforce its market position, and support the logistics industry’s transition toward greener, more efficient development pathways. With its management size of logistics EVs, digital infrastructure, and standardized service network, DST stands to benefit from the long-term trends of green logistics and digital management, and its long-term value is worth following.

AibleClaw Uses NVIDIA Cloud Functions to Bring Up to a 200X TCO Advantage to Long-Running Enterprise AI Agents ACN Newswire

AibleClaw Uses NVIDIA Cloud Functions to Bring Up to a 200X TCO Advantage to Long-Running Enterprise AI Agents

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, June 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Aible, the enterprise agentic AI leader, today announced that AibleClaw, its enterprise solution for governed, long-running AI agents or Claws, integrates with NVIDIA Cloud Functions, - bringing serverless GPU economics to enterprise AI workloads and significantly reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO.). Building on Aible's early adoption of NVIDIA Cloud Functions (NVCF), a key component of NVIDIA DSX OS. Aible's October 2024 benchmark demonstrated how serverless GPUs can improve end-to-end GenAI TCO by up to 200X.Claws, typically scheduled workloads, are naturally suited to run on NVCF and capture the full economic benefits of serverless inference. Following the recent launches of AibleClaw with NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super for governed long-running enterprise agents and AibleClaw with NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano Omni for multimodal reasoning at the edge, today's announcement details how AibleClaw unlocks the full Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) benefits of NVCF and delivers secure private AI for business users at fixed and predictable cost.Today's launch builds on Aible's recent announcement on Secure AI for Business Users, which set out the broader context for fixed-cost, on-prem private AI in an era of rising token prices and growing security concerns with frontier models."Just last week Aible developers spent two days at NVIDIA headquarters working closely with NVIDIA teams to adapt and adopt the latest NVIDIA technologies. During the two day hackathon, the two teams collaborated across NVCF, Nemotron 3 Ultra, NVIDIA NemoClaw, the NVIDIA OpenShell secure runtime for autonomous agents, and other NVIDIA Agent Toolkit software.", said Arijit Sengupta, Founder & CEO of Aible. He added, "Enterprise AI is evolving so fast that it is almost impossible to keep up with the pace. This is where our co-innovation with NVIDIA as part of the NVIDIA Inception Program has been crucial to our success."Operating Costs Reduction in the Time of ClawsAgentic AI - including long-running agents, or "claws" - is rapidly becoming a core enterprise strategy. Such claw workloads are perfect for NVCF as these workloads tend to spike and can take several minutes to complete - thus making the cold start delay essentially irrelevant in light of the attractive TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) characteristics. AibleClaw, powered by the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime and NemoClaw blueprints, leverages NVCF to run such claw workloads optimally. Scheduled claw workloads, such as, "analyze my appointments everyday to create briefings for each work meeting," can be timed when GPU demands are lowest, to make the overall system run even more optimally. The result is that the up to 200X TCO advantage from serverless GPUs now applies directly to the workloads that need it most - claws.Low Risk Private Models in the Time of Higher Per Token CostsWith recent price changes at Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub Copilot and others, enterprises running AI agents or claws are increasingly concerned about token costs. See: "Anthropic Hiked the Price for Power Users Amid Complaints Its Model Is Getting Worse: Its most dedicated customers could pay significantly more under a new usage-based pricing model," and "GitHub Copilot's price shakeup could end cheap AI coding as we know it: We're seeing the beginning of the end for flat-rate AI plans, starting with GitHub switching to usage-based pricing for its Copilot AI plans." Aible makes it easy for enterprises to run their GenAI and agentic workloads completely privately on their own servers. Because Aible charges by the server per year, and runs the language models locally, there are no unexpected token costs.Aible runs consistently on all platforms including major clouds, private servers, NVIDIA Cloud Partners, desktop supercomputers, edge servers, etc. By using NVIDIA Cloud Functions and NVIDIA software components for workload routing and orchestration, Aible can help enterprises use distributed GPU resources across private environments and can stitch such resources into virtual private or shared data centers. Instead of building massive data centers top down, Aible customers can buy workstations or private servers from their favorite partners, plug them into their private networks at each corporate location, run workloads locally when optimal, but distribute workloads across locations when necessary. We believe workstations and private servers connected together with NVCF are a new form of Bottoms-up Data Centers. This is the reality of the AI Grid or the Bottoms-up data center, delivered today.For enterprises looking to learn more, request a meeting here.Related ResourcesNVIDIA DSX OS: Open-Source Infrastructure Software for the Agentic AI FactoryNVIDIA DSX Gives Infrastructure Builders the Playbook for AI FactoriesAible Launches AibleClaw Long-Running Agents and Presents at Eight Partner Booths and Sessions at NVIDIA GTC 2026Serverless GPUs improve GenAI TCO by 200X for end-to-end RAG solutionsAbout AibleAible is redefining how enterprises drive measurable business impact with specialized and long-running AI agents that are created and coached by business users at scale. Fortune 500 firms, US States, Federal Agencies, and others use AI agents from Aible to deliver measurable results across business areas including customer acquisition and retention, call center optimization, inventory or supply chain management, product development, and risk mitigation in days - not months. Enterprises will also be able to leverage AibleClaw, the secure enterprise solution for long-running AI agents similar to OpenClaw, but with deterministic execution, pre-approved tools, enterprise guardrails, governed data access, and full auditability. The Aible agentic AI platform is the fastest way for business users to automatically look across millions of patterns to surface enterprise insights with cutting-edge augmented analytics, GenAI, and secure long-running agents. Uniquely, Aible gives business users full control of the AI agents by enabling them to provide feedback on the reasoning steps to drive higher accuracy, faster business alignment, and continuously improve performance across 1000s of enterprise use cases. Entirely implemented within the security of the enterprise's own cloud or at the edge, the end-to-end serverless AI platform is up to 200X more cost efficient.

ONE WALLET Officially Launches on TON: a Keyless, Telegram-Native Wallet That Replaces Seed Phrases with 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share Custody

KUALA LUMPUR, June 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ONE WALLET, a keyless, Telegram-native Web3 wallet, today marks its official launch on TON mainnet, replacing twelve-word seed phrases with a 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody model. The team also published ONE WALLET Whitepaper V1.0, detailing the product, security architecture, and the utility model of its $1 token.ONE WALLET targets the gap between custodial exchange wallets — easy but centrally controlled — and self-custody wallets, which are powerful but ask mainstream users to memorize twelve-word seed phrases and install separate apps. ONE WALLET inverts that order: users open Telegram, complete a lightweight device check, and transact. There is no seed phrase to write down and no app to download.At the core is a 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody model. A user's signing key is split into three shares — held by the device, the user's Telegram account, and an offline recovery share. The wallet is designed so that no single party, including ONE WALLET, can move funds alone: any two shares are combined briefly on the user's device to sign a transaction, then discarded. Any one share alone cannot reconstruct the key.As a foundation-led initiative, ONE COMPANY frames ONE WALLET as the financial entry point to a broader digital ecosystem spanning fintech, AI, games, travel, and information services built on blockchain. The foundation's stated mandate includes research and education for Web3, user protection and transparency, and regulatory-compliance systems."Most people will never write down a seed phrase, and they shouldn't have to," said James Kim, CEO of ONE COMPANY. "Our job as a foundation is to make self-custody feel as natural as sending a message — and to do it with security that's honest about its boundaries. Going live and publishing our whitepaper on the same day is a deliberate choice: we want users, partners, and regulators reading the same document."ONE WALLET's roadmap moves from the core wallet (multi-chain send, receive, and swap) to a QR-based payments rail with merchant settlement, followed by the $1 token utility layer and an ecosystem of partner mini-apps. Whitepaper V1.0 is available in English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.About ONE WALLETONE WALLET is a Telegram-native, keyless Web3 wallet built on the TON blockchain.

Radisson Expands High-Grade Gold Mineralization Across Previously Undrilled “Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap” at the O’Brien Gold Project ACN Newswire

Radisson Expands High-Grade Gold Mineralization Across Previously Undrilled “Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap” at the O’Brien Gold Project

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - June 1, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new assay results from its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. Today's results are from two pilot holes and five associated wedge branches targeting the "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap", an area of little previous drilling extending over an approximate 800 metre vertical extent in the central portion of the Project. Six of the seven drill holes have returned significant intercepts of high-grade gold mineralization, with important implications for future mineral resources and mining continuity. These results are the latest from the Company's ongoing 140,000-metre step-out drill program and continue to extend the scope of gold mineralization beyond the Company's recent updated March 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"). Highlights (Figure 1 and Table 1) include:OB-26-387W2 intersected 7.57 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 9.7 metres (core length) including 52.75 g/t Au over 1.1 metre;OB-26-386W1 intersected 3.43 g/t Au over 13.4 metres including 8.63 g/t Au over 1.0 metres and including 10.26 g/t Au over 1.0 metres and including 8.24 g/t Au over 1.0 metres;OB-26-387W3 intersected 66.93 g/t Au over 1.0 metres and 24.97 g/t Au over 1.0 metres;OB-26-387W4 intersected 69.05 g/t Au over 1.0 metres and 5.28 g/t Au over 1.0 metres;Matt Manson, President and CEO: "Since late 2024 we have been engaged in an aggressive 140,000-metre program of step-out drilling at the O'Brien Gold Project with the objective of testing the full scope of mineralization down to a 2-kilometre floor. We recently announced plans to extend our exploration ambition further, with new deep drilling and directional wedging to a depth of 2.5-kilometres. At the same time, we are targeting under-explored areas at shallower depths. Previous drilling at O'Brien has defined steeply plunging mineralization "Trends" separated by "Gaps" (Figure 1). This pattern of mineralization defines the character of our mineral resource block model and influences our exploration targeting. An outstanding question has been whether these Trends reflect actual, large-scale structural controls on mineralization or are simply a feature of insufficient drilling. Today's results, targeting the important "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap" which has a top to bottom vertical extent of 800 metres (Figure 2), support our belief that, in this area at least, mineralization is laterally continuous. This has important implications for mineral resource updates in the centre of the Project, the character of the Project's distribution of mineralization, stope continuity in mine design, and the location of infrastructure such as drifts and ramps in a future potential mine. Six of seven drill holes completed in this area returned intercepts with thicknesses and grades consistent with the Project's mineral resources, maintaining the high success rate of the ongoing step-out drill program. Results from additional directional wedges in the Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap, and from additional deeper drilling below the historical mine workings and the base of the current mineral resources, are expected shortly."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/10977/299584_64e14e0c14d2f9fc_001full.jpgStep-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 gold mineralization at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency and minimize costs. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing an eventual eight drill rigs (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025).Figure 2: The "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap" Illustrated on the Basis of the March 2026 MRE (left) and the July 2025 PEA Mine Design (Right).

Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off. Sample grades are uncapped. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of core length. Table 3 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 and Greywackes; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault ZoneThe 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). Fifteen wedge branches were completed from OB-24-337 delineating up to eight gold-bearing veins over a 250-metre x 700-metre area (see Radisson news release dated February 12, 2026). In March 2026, Radisson published an interim update in the Project's mineral resources, showing meaningful growth based on the on-going drilling (see Radisson news release dated March 2, 2026).The focus of the step-out drill program today has been the extension of mineralization at depth, with an exploration floor of 2 kilometres depth, and recently announced plans to extend this drilling to 2.5 kilometres depth (see Radisson news release dated May 28, 2026). Given the character of neighbouring gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project, Radisson believes that significant exploration potential exists to these depths, and such mineralization might reasonably be expected to be developed.Figure 3: Vertical Section Through the "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap" with Today's New Drill ResultsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/299584_64e14e0c14d2f9fc_004full.jpgIn addition to the progressively deeper drilling, the 140,000-metre program includes targeting of areas within the O'Brien geological model that have not previously been tested and offer the potential for additional mineral resources at shallower depths. As exploration drilling at O'Brien has progressed over the last several years, high-grade intercepts and vein delineations have typically been followed up with additional drilling on steep east plunging trends. This is consistent with the observation of steeply plunging high-grade shoots in the historical O'Brien mine, from surface trenching, and from the orientation of grade trends in the MRE. This exploration strategy has resulted in a number of large-scale mineralization "Trends 0 to 5" being delineated, with intervening "gaps". These gaps are typically defined by a lack of drilling rather than a lack of mineralization. Significant gaps include between the former mine and "Trend 0", and a gap of 800 metres vertical extent between "Trends 1 and 2" (Figures 1 and 2).Pilot holes OB-26-386 and OB-26-387 were established to target the Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap at approximately 500 and 1,000 metres vertical depth (Figure 3). Multiple directional wedge branches were established from each pilot hole. Today's results from the two pilot holes and the 5 directional wedges completed to date have all returned intercepts of gold mineralization in the characteristic quartz-sulphide-gold veins and alteration envelops developed within the conglomerate, porphyry and volcanic units of the Piché Group. Six of the seven returned intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources. Drillhole OB-26-386W1 returned a thick 13.4-metre (core length) intercept averaging 3.43 g/t Au and including three separate 1-metre vein intervals grading 8.63 g/t Au, 10.26 g/t Au and 8.24 g/t Au respectively. Drill hole OB-26-387W2 also returned a thick zone of alteration grading 7.57 g/t Au over 9.7 metres, including a vein interval grading 52.75 g/t Au over 1.1 metres. Drill holes OB-26-387W3 and OB-26-387W4 multiple 1-metre vein intercepts with grades of 66.93 g/t Au, 24.97 g/t Au, 69.05 g/t Au and 5.28 g/t Au (Table 1, Figures 1 and 3).The implication of these results is that continuity of mineralization at O'Brien, which is well established vertically in the drill data and from the historic mine, can also be established laterally between what were previously thought to be discrete mineralization trends. In addition, the presence of a gap in the mineral resource block model between Trends 1 and 2 drives a gap between mining areas and mine infrastructure planning, as was demonstrated in the mine design contained within Radisson's July 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Project (Figure 2). Additional mineral resources in these under-drilled gaps will also benefit the density of mineralization at the Project, which is a common measure of economic viability and capital efficiency in underground mine design.In more general terms, the observation of six holes out of seven returning high-grade intercepts with grade and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources ("hits", per Table 2) from drill holes targeting non-resource areas is another example of the high-rate of success of the current step-out drill program at O'Brien, and the extent of the O'Brien gold mineralizing system (Figure 4).Table 2: Drill Results Published for the O'Brien Gold Project Since December 2024Date of PublicationTotal Number of Drill HolesDrill Holes with Intercepts >+3g/tSuccess Rate (%)June 1, 20267686%April 30, 2026-O'Brien77100%April 30, 2026-Thompson-Cadillac9222%January 27, 202677100%January 6, 20266583%October 28, 2025151387%September 8, 2025151387%July 16, 2025141179%April 2, 202533100%February 26, 2025201575%December 16, 202411100%Total1048380% Gold 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 and are associated with broader, mineralized alteration envelopes. 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 steeply plunging 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 within a series of repeating trends (Trend #s 0 to 5).Figure 4: Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company Since March 2026To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/299584_64e14e0c14d2f9fc_005full.jpgTable 3: Detailed Assay Results (see "Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts")To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/299584_tablethree1.jpgTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/299584_tablethree2.jpgTable 4: Drill Hole Collar Information for Holes contained in this News Release To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/299584_tablefour.jpgNotes:Hole lengths for wedges represent meterage from point of wedge.QA/QCAll drill cores in this campaign are NQ in size.
