HONG KONG, Aug 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hengdeli Holdings Limited (“Hengdeli” or the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 3389) announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (" the period under review").In the first half of 2024, the global economy was still confronted with multiple pressures such as geopolitical conflicts and inflation risks. China’s economic growth slowed down, while overall operation remained stable and the trend of stabilization continued. In the face of a relatively complex operating environment, under the principle of “sound, steady and long-term operations”, the Group adapted its business to the market conditions and strived for the survival and health of the enterprise to safeguard the interests of its shareholders.During the review period, the Group recorded revenue of RMB580,361,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB675,621,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 14.1%; high-end consuming accessories business recorded revenue of RMB352,339,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB316,992,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 11.2%; commodity trading revenue amounted to RMB228,022,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB358,629,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 36.4%. During the period under review, the Group recorded a profit of RMB499,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: loss of RMB8,799,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 105.7%. Loss attributable to equity shareholders amounted to RMB2,504,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: loss of RMB1,985,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 26.1%. The increase in loss was mainly attributable to the increase in depreciation expenses on property, plant and equipment and foreign exchange losses incurred by the operating units as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.During the period under review, in regards of high-end consuming accessories business, the Group took various measures to cope with complicated operating environment. The Group laid a solid foundation to maintain stability, sought development driven by innovation, continuously broadened its business modes, enhancing the level of technological innovation, the Group standardized and strengthened its informational and automatic management, all measures mentioned above achieved remarkable results. During the period under review, the high-end consuming accessories business achieved remarkable results, with better growth in both revenue and profit.In terms of international trading, during the period under review, the sales and profit of the international commodity trading business decreased as compared to the same period last year as a result of decline in the selling price of ore sand and the lower purchasing intention of customers, but still maintained a positive profitability. During the period, the Group planned to build a bulk cargo transshipment logistics park in Mexico, which integrates customs clearance, import, transportation and warehousing, and is dedicated to serving large-scale enterprises in China. In terms of international shipping, during the period under review, the global dry bulk shipping market performed strongly. The Group seized the opportunities of the rising market to vigorously expand its business by developing new customers and signing long voyage transportation contracts with its customers to lock in long-term profits for the Company. In addition to engaging in the traditional transportation routes, the Group opened up its first bauxite transportation route between Turkey and China and signed long-term transportation agreements with renowned companies in Turkey, which yielded relatively satisfactory returns. The Group’s shipping business achieved good results in terms of revenue and profit in the first half of the year.At present, the global political situation is still experiencing a high degree of unrest, and the instability and uncertainty of the economic environment are on the rise. While the recovery of the mainland Chinese economy is evident, factors such as the deepening of structural adjustment will continue to pose new challenges. However, the favorable conditions for the economic development of Mainland China outweigh the unfavorable factors, and the trend of stable and long-term development remains unchanged. As the effects from the government’s various economic policies and measures materialized, it is believed that China’s economic growth momentum will continue to rise.In the second half of the year, the Group will continue to adhere to the principle of “sound, steady, and long-term operations”, and will leverage the stable business environment in Mainland China that “pursues stability while seeking progress” to keep abreast of the market trend and further advance the process of international trade steadily. Additionally, the Group will continuously expand and strengthen the international shipping business, which is closely related to international trade, and strive to become a stronger participant in the international shipping supply chain and achieve new breakthroughs in corporate development.The Group will continue to adapt to market demands and continuously enhance the service standard of its integrated services for commercial space in both Mainland China and international markets. The Group will also continuously adjust the manufacturing of high-end accessories for renowned watches while embarking on a limited number of diversified business activities including the manufacturing of high-end consuming accessories in highend lifestyle products such as jewellery, cosmetics and mobile phones, and expanding its commercial space beautification services to include living space beautification services, thus becoming an indispensable independent segment in the industry ecological chain of high-end consuming accessories.

Vancouver, BC, Aug 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) (" Q2 " or the " Company ") announces that, as a result of a technical review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company is issuing the following news release to clarify its technical disclosure as it pertains to the news release issued on August 19, 2024.The Company previously reported the cumulative grades of drill holes CS-24-007 to CS-24-010 at the Company's Cisco Property over ‘cumulative intervals' and ‘cumulative metres.' This disclosure has been removed from the August 19, 2024 news release as well as all previously issued news releases that reported cumulative intervals and/or cumulative metres.As such, the highlights of the Company's inaugural drilling campaign at the Cisco Property included:CS-24-010: Widest interval of 120.3 m at 1.72% Li 2 O including 19.0 m at 2.06% Li 2 OCS-24-007: Widest interval of 27.1 m at 1.96% Li 2 O including 11.1 m at 2.49% Li 2 OCS-24-008: Widest interval of 19.3m at 1.75% Li 2 O including 6.2 m at 2.23% Li 2 OCS-24-009: Widest interval of 82.1m at 1.43% Li 2 O including 15.7 m at 1.88% Li 2 OThe analytical results reported represent the first 1,017 m of drilling over four (4) holes of the 3,753 m that were drilled over 12 holes at the Cisco Property. Initial visual results of those four holes were reported by the Company on June 17, 2024.The Spring 2024 Drill Campaign was designed to expand upon the 2023 drilling by the Property vendors. Hole CS-23-05 ("Hole 5") drilled by the Property vendor ended in pegmatite and assays results confirmed its widest interval of 48.0 m at 1.23% Li 2 O including 9.0 m at 1.73% Li 2 O.Holes CS-24-009 and 010 ("Hole 10") were designed as 50 m westward step-outs from Hole 5. Assay results from these two holes confirmed wide intervals of spodumene pegmatite, with the widest interval reaching 120.3 m at 1.72% Li 2 O, including 19.0 m at 2.06% Li 2 O in Hole 10.Complete highlighted intervals from holes CS-24-007 to 010 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1. All intervals of greater than two (2) metres of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than five (5) metres. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.Figure 1. Map of Inaugural Drill Hole Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyTable 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyTable 2. Summary of Drill Hole Collar Information, Cisco PropertyResults from approximately 2,700 m of drilling eight (8) holes (CS-24-011 to CS-24-018) remain to be reported from the Spring 2024 Drill Campaign and will be released as soon as results are available. Drilling at the Cisco Property is ongoing and will continue into the fall of 2024.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 kilometres ("km") east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAs per the BCSC technical review, information required by sections 3.2 and 3.3 of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") that was inadvertently omitted has also been updated.All drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade was multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li 2 O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release. Mr. McCallum is a director and VP Exploration for Q2.About Q2 Metals CorpQ2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on unlocking its portfolio of lithium projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, that includes both its 100-per-cent-owned Mia Lithium Property and the Cisco Lithium Property.The Cisco lithium property is located approximately 150 km north of Matagami, Que., and comprises 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 ha in size.

According to official statistics, in the first half of 2024, the passenger volume of railway and domestic flights was 2.096 billion and 350 million, respectively, representing year-on-year growth of 18.4% and 23.5%; the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China also reported that the number of tourists during the Labour Day Holiday has returned to a level 28% higher than that of 2019. With the follow-up publicity and promotion of cultural tourism across different regions, residents’ willingness to travel has become stronger. In terms of cross-border travel, inbound tourism is gaining popularity under the “China Travel” trend. Statistics from the National Immigration Administration of China shows that in the first half of the year, 14.635 million foreign visitors entered the country from various ports, a year-on-year increase of 152.7%; the China Tourism Academy also predicts that the number of outbound tourists will reach 130 million in 2024.

(“China BlueChem” or the “Company”, stock code: 3983), China’s largest chemical fertilizer central enterprise in both production capacity and production volume, has announced its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The Company achieved revenue of RMB6.007 billion and net profit attributable to owners of the Company of RMB687 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The business performance was basically similar to that in the first half of 2023. However, in 2023, a one-off profit was realized from the disposal of 67% equity interest in a subsidiary for strategic reasons, which significantly drove the Company's profit growth in the first half of 2023.Mr. HOU Xiaofeng, CEO and President of China BlueChem said, “Despite the overhaul of multiple plants, the Company still performed well in achieving its target plans for the first half of 2024. During the period, the Company continued to strengthen safety production management and the overall safety situation remained stable. It actively expanded the market and increased efficiency, and continuously promoted management that strives for excellence which resulted in steadily improved governance efficiency. In addition, the Company has consistently adhered to a philosophy of green and sustainable development. Its methanol plant has been awarded the honorary title of “Energy Efficiency Leader” by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation for 13 consecutive years, and its synthetic ammonia plant has been awarded the honorary title of “Water Efficiency Leader” by the China Nitrogen Fertiliser Industry Association for 5 consecutive years.”In the production perspective, the Company continuously strengthened production and operation control, constantly improved the rationality and economy of equipment maintenance cycles, and released a 5-year rolling plan for equipment maintenance. Among them, the major overhauls of the Fudao Phase I urea unit, Fudao Phase II urea unit, and Hainan Phase II methanol unit were all completed successfully ahead of schedule, laying a solid foundation for subsequent stable operations. In the first half of the year, the Company produced 973,000 tonnes of urea, 707,000 tonnes of methanol, 445,000 tonnes of phosphate fertilisers and compound fertilisers, and 97,000 tonnes of acrylonitrile series products. Except for urea, the production of other products increased year-on-year.In terms of marketing, facing the complex and ever-changing market situation, the Company has further strengthened market analysis and priced scientifically and precisely. Meanwhile, the Company explored deeply the market competitiveness and price elasticity of products, and promoted the development of the competitive sales business of fertilisers and methanol. Additionally, the Company strengthened direct sales through e-commerce, with e-commerce direct sales volume increasing by 54% year-on-year. In the first half of the year, the Company sold 1.003 million tonnes of urea, 668,000 tonnes of methanol, 401,000 tonnes of phosphate fertilisers and compound fertilisers, and 88,000 tonnes of acrylonitrile series products.Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the increase in overall supply of urea is expected to exceed the increase in demand. Domestic urea prices are expected to be weak in the third quarter, but will improve later with the preparation of fertilisers for winter wheat. Regarding phosphate fertilisers, the overall supply is sufficient, while with the combined effects of international procurement, domestic autumn wheat demand, and the release of demand for winter storage fertiliser, the overall demand is expected to be relatively strong with prices remaining cautiously optimistic. Methanol supply is relatively abundant, while imports are expected to resume growth. Downstream demand for Methanol is expected to grow, and the cost side will provide price support. It is expected that the supply and demand situation of Methanol will change frequently,exhibiting primarily wide fluctuations in the market trend. On the other hand, both supply and demand for acrylonitrile are expected to grow, but the increase in supply will be more prominent. The market may continue to experience an oversupply, and spot prices are expected to remain weak.Mr. HOU Xiaofeng, CEO and President of China BlueChem said, “In the second half of 2024, the Company will strive to ensure the safe and stable operation of production facilities, and enhance risk mitigation capabilities. At the same time, the Company will continuously optimize resource allocation, leverage locational advantages, enhance product competitiveness and further explore the potential for marketing efficiency improvement. In addition, the Company will improve refined management standards and establish a cost control indicator system. Furthermore, it will strengthen brand building, strive to create a benchmark base for green agriculture brands and emphasize digitalization, intelligence, and green and low-carbon initiatives. Moreover, the Company will promote equipment upgrades and conduct research on the development planning of green strategic emerging industries.”- End -About China BlueChemical Ltd.China BlueChemical Ltd.
