Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August 11, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) today hosted its flagship overseas promotion, Think Business, Think Hong Kong (TBTHK), in Kuala Lumpur, offering Malaysian business leaders direct access to government officials, investors, founders, innovators and professional service providers.The symposium brought together some 1,600 business leaders from Hong Kong and Malaysia for a day of dialogue, networking, business matching and one-on-one consultations. Among them are over 200 government and business leaders, start-up entrepreneurs and professional service providers from Hong Kong, marking a historic high. During the event, over 300 tailored business matching meetings were lined up to help Malaysian companies find the right Hong Kong partners to expand internationally.As businesses navigate shifting global trade dynamics and seek more resilient pathways for international growth, the symposium offered vast opportunities for Malaysian businesses to access capital, diversify their business networks, establish cross-border partnerships and expand into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), the wider Chinese Mainland and global markets through Hong Kong.The opening ceremony was officiated by Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of HKTDC, together with The Honourable Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Hong Kong SAR Government, and YB Loke Siew Fook, Malaysia's Minister of Transport.In his welcome remarks, Prof Ma said: “Especially at times like these – when businesses are navigating geopolitical uncertainty, evolving supply chains and rapid advances in technology – trusted connections and strong networks are more valuable than ever. First launched in 2011 and held in major cities all around the world, TBTHK has proven to be popular and successful. It is a platform via which networks are expanded, relationships are deepened and new partnerships are forged. Today’s symposium is a timely opportunity to build on the close ties that we have all benefitted from – in so many different and rewarding ways – over the years.”In his opening remarks, Mr Yau said: “For Malaysian companies, the Chinese Mainland is for no doubt a huge market not to be missed. Especially at times like this, everyone is talking about diversification. Apart from strengthening your operations in the local market, it is always good to tap the potentials from overseas markets, including the Chinese Mainland. Hong Kong has the knowhow and expertise to help Malaysian companies to navigate the Chinese Mainland markets. We have been doing it for a long time, and we are good at it. The other way around, we are also supporting Chinese Mainland enterprises to go overseas via Hong Kong. We established the GoGlobal Task Force (Task Force on Supporting Mainland Enterprises in Going Global) last year to provide one-stop, customised support services to facilitate outbound direct investment into overseas markets, including Malaysia and beyond.”In his special remarks, Mr Loke said connectivity Is the precondition for movement of capital and people, with Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong being under four hours flight apart and sharing the same time zone.“The same logic governs freight. Hong Kong International Airport is among the busiest cargo gateways in the world, while Port Klang sits on one of the most heavily used shipping lanes globally. Malaysia's exports are increasingly electronics, semiconductors and other high-value goods that are time-sensitive and travel by air. Therefore, Hong Kong's depth in logistics, trade finance, arbitration and professional services is the natural complement to that. If your business depends on moving a product from a Malaysian factory to a customer anywhere in Asia, Europe or North America quickly and with the documentation in order, this is a corridor you should be examining closely,” he said.Mr Loke also pointed out that Malaysia wants more events of TBTHK’s calibre to be held in the country, to facilitate business discussions, networking and build foundations for future collaborations.Opening new growth pathways for Malaysian businessesThe programme featured a flagship plenary session chaired by Lincoln Pan, Chief Executive Officer of Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited, with heavyweight speakers, including Bonnie Y Chan, Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, Tan Sri Dato’ David Chiu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Far East Consortium International Limited, Daniel R Fung, Senior Counsel, Des Voeux Chambers; Founding Chairman, ASEAN Chamber of Commerce (Hong Kong); Vice Chairman, Financial Services Development Council, Datuk Wira Song Hoi See, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Plaza Premium Group; Chairman, Malaysian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong and Macau, and Thomas Tsao, Co-founder and Chair of Gobi Partners, who discussed Asia's evolving business landscape and how companies can position themselves to capture emerging regional opportunities.Reflecting Malaysia's growing strategic importance in ASEAN and the evolving priorities of businesses across the region, four thematic sessions explored key areas of collaboration between Hong Kong and Malaysia.The Capturing RMB Opportunities in Trade, Financing and Investment – Hong Kong’s Strategic Role session, co-organised with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, explored the growing role of the Renminbi in trade, investment and treasury management. Speakers discussed how Malaysian businesses can leverage Hong Kong's position as the world's leading offshore RMB hub to support regional and Chinese Mainland expansion.The GreenBiz Hong Kong: Driving the Green Transition with Green Finance, Innovation and Cross-Border Collaboration session, supported by the Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, examined how sustainable growth can be achieved. Participants highlighted opportunities in green finance, climate technology and data-driven solutions as well as Hong Kong's role in connecting green capital and innovation across the region.Following the luncheon, the Strategic Resilience: Capitalising on Hong Kong as a Base for Regional Expansion session, co-organised with Invest Hong Kong, explored how companies can strengthen regional expansion strategies amid a changing global business landscape. Featuring firsthand insights from international tech pioneers, expanding educational operators, and premier regional advisors, this session demonstrated how partnering with Hong Kong provides the structural stability to optimise corporate assets, mitigate geopolitical risk, and accelerate growth across ASEAN and Greater China.The Accelerating the Global Expansion of Life and Health Technology Through Ecosystem Collaboration session, co-organised with the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park, focused on how ecosystem collaboration can accelerate the commercialisation and global expansion of health and biotech innovations. Industry leaders shared insights on leveraging partnerships, talent and innovation networks to scale new technologies internationally.10 MoUs, over 300 business matching meetings forge new partnershipsThis year’s TBTHK also witnessed the signing of 10 memoranda of understanding (MoUs), including those signed by various media companies with their respective partners, underscoring growing collaboration between Hong Kong’s services sector and Malaysia’s business community.In addition to the symposium, some 30 Hong Kong service providers and start-ups featured their flagship products and solutions in the exhibition’s Business Support Zone and InnoVenture Salon to create opportunities for collaboration with Malaysian participants. Over 300 one-on-one business consultations and on-site business matching also facilitated deals and cooperation between Malaysian and Hong Kong companies.The Hong Kong Tourism Board also brought a taste of Hong Kong's vibrant culinary culture to TBTHK. Participants had the opportunity to sample signature offerings from Chinesology, Hong Kong's pioneering Muslim-friendly fine-dining Chinese restaurant, and Bar Leone, the first Asian bar to top The World's 50 Best Bars list, highlighting the city's creativity, diversity and world-class hospitality.The Hong Kong Luncheon held during the symposium was hosted by Mr Yau and Malaysia’s Deputy Minister of Finance YB Liew Chin Tong. It was attended by over 300 prominent guests from government and business sectors.This promotion is also part of the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Economic Trade and Express initiative encouraging Hong Kong SMEs and startups to conduct more overseas visits exploring business opportunities, while bringing in more enterprises to invest in and establish businesses in Hong Kong.Event highlight video: https://youtu.be/chRbKeEzF2APhoto Download: https://bit.ly/3TQ7nyLThink Business, Think Hong Kong Kuala Lumpur organised by the HKTDC was held on 11 August, attracting some 1,600 participants.

HONG KONG, August 11, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - MMG Limited (“MMG”, stock code: 1208) has today reported a net profit after tax of US$1,366.0 million for the 6 months to June 30, 2026. This is a record result and builds on the strong momentum established in 2025. Cashflow from Operations was US$2,233.9 million, with Cash and Earnings up 141 and 89 per cent respectively on the first half of 2025. Watch the Message from CEO:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv0SCSgzYfsThe financial results were primarily driven by solid operational execution across all sites and higher realised commodity prices, alongside robust operating cash generation and the successful launch of the approximately US$1.6 billion equity placement and Convertible Bonds issuance in June 2026.“During the first half we delivered some outstanding financial and production outcomes, including a record profit after tax of US$1.36 billion and record operating cash flow," said Ivo Zhao, MMG’s CEO. "Higher sales volumes, favourable prices and disciplined execution across our operations all contributed to this result.”MMG's total recordable injury frequency (TRIF) increased to 2.06 per million hours worked in the first half of 2026, compared to 1.81 in the first half of 2025. The significant events with energy exchange frequency (SEEEF) improved to 0.55 per million hours worked compared to 0.78 in the first half of 2025. Safety is MMG's first value, and the company continues to be focused on contractor management, proactive field observations and the effective implementation of critical controls.Operationally, MMG achieved its highest first-half copper production since 2018, driven by another impressive performance from Las Bambas, whilst Kinsevere realised the benefits of its sulphide expansion and Khoemacau delivered solid operating and financial performance. Its Australian operations also delivered strong production and financial performances and continued to demonstrate the strength of MMG's diversified portfolio.Highlights include:- Record first half results for both EBITDA and EBIT, with EBITDA at US$2,727.4 million, representing a 77 per cent increase compared to the first half of 2025, and EBIT totalling US$2,177.2 million, an increase of 106 per cent over the same period.- Net profit after tax of US$1,366.0 million, including a first-half profit of US$897.2 million attributable to equity holders of the company.- An 89 per cent increase in net cash flow from operations, totalling a record US$2,233.9 million, reflecting stronger earnings and disciplined operational execution.- A strengthened balance sheet due to robust cash generation from operations and the successful execution of the approximately US$1.6 billion Convertible Bonds issuance and share placement in June 2026.- Net debt decreased from US$3,351.4 million to US$608.4 million and reduced group-level gearing, down from 33 per cent to 6 per cent over the first half of 2026.- Las Bambas produced 210,195 tonnes of copper in copper concentrate in the first half of 2026, revenue increased 65 per cent to US$3,307.9 million and EBITDA increased 72 per cent to US$2,251.1 million."Strong cash generation and our largest-ever capital raising enabled us to reduce net debt by more than 80 per cent. This strengthened our balance sheet and provides greater flexibility to invest in growth and advance our strategic priorities," said Ivo Zhao, MMG’s CEO. “It has been an excellent start to the year, and we have positive momentum heading into the second half."MMG continued to advance its growth pipeline during the first half, with construction commencing on the Khoemacau expansion project and the reporting of two Maiden Mineral Resources.

HONG KONG, August 11, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Saint Bella Group (2508.HK) has issued a positive profit alert for the six months ended 30 June 2026. The Group expects to record revenue of at least RMB 608.0 million—a year-on-year growth of at least 35%—and an adjusted net profit of at least RMB 60.0 million, up over 54% year-on-year.Across the family care sector—where average consumer spend remains under pressure and expansion costs are high—scale and margin typically move in opposite directions. Saint Bella Group has delivered concurrent improvements on both fronts.Normalizing the Base: Underlying Operating PowerThe statutory net profit figure warrants context. Statutory net profit is expected to be at least RMB 53.4million, compared to RMB 326.9 million in H1 2025. This variance bears no relation to operational health. In H1 2025, the Group recognized a one-off, non-cash fair value gain of RMB 318.2 million on pre-IPO financial instruments. Following its listing on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, these instruments were fully converted into ordinary shares, eliminating further fair value adjustments.Adjusted net profit is therefore the true measure of year-on-year performance. The elevated 2025 base was an accounting event; this year’s growth reflects core operating capability. As a company that listed in 2025, this marks the first reporting period where Saint Bella's core earnings power is presented cleanly to the market.A Reinforced Core BusinessPostpartum care centers remain the Group's core business and revenue anchor. The alert demonstrates steady improvements in brand premium and average spend per customer. In an industry highly dependent on word-of-mouth and localized execution, core business stability provides the primary foundation for expansion.Deepening core capabilities also serves as an efficient client acquisition strategy for downstream services. The trust built during a client's postpartum stay is an asset that is difficult to replicate, enabling Saint Bella to cross-sell adjacent services far more cost-effectively than acquiring cold traffic.Expanding the Lifetime Value: From 28 Days to Full-Cycle Family CareWhile a standard postpartum stay lasts 28 days, customer needs extend far beyond. During the period, Saint Bella's adjacent business lines—postpartum recovery care (STB Institute), home-based nursing (PrimeCare), and health nutrition (Guang He Tang)—all demonstrated strong growth:- Guang He Tang: Positions itself as a full-cycle Chinese nutritional brand for women, spanning pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause.- STB Institute: Delivers specialist care for expectant/new mothers and women's long-term wellness, reinforcing offline touchpoints and brand positioning.- PrimeCare: Introduced an age-tiered childcare program tailored for infants across developmental stages, extending customer engagement into early childhood.None of these extension businesses require acquiring clients from scratch; they scale on the existing customer base, systematically improving the Group's overall revenue mix.Twin Growth Engines: Organic Network Expansion & Strategic M&A- Organic Growth: Saint Bella continued expanding into new Chinese cities throughout H1 2026. Internationally, the opening of its first Baby Bella store in Singapore in April marked a shift from single-brand internationalization to a coordinated, multi-brand global strategy.- Strategic Acquisition: On 22 June 2026, the Group acquired Freya, a leading maternal and infant care brand in Wuhan with 13 years of local presence. Freya operates three standalone centers in prime districts (including a flagship 15,000 sq. m. facility with 160+ suites). This transaction doubles Saint Bella’s directly operated center count and capacity in central China while enhancing its standalone operational capabilities. Because the deal closed near period-end, its financial contributions will begin reflecting in H2 2026.AI-Driven Operational EfficiencySupported by refined management systems, Saint Bella’s selling and administrative expense ratios declined year-on-year. Dr. Bella, the Group’s proprietary domain-specific large language model, was integrated into in-centre operations and home-based services, boosting workforce productivity. Commercialization of its AI agent business also achieved its first revenue breakthrough. Technology continues to serve as an efficiency driver, helping optimize cost structures as operations scale.Share Buybacks & Full-Year OutlookSaint Bella Group has conducted regular share repurchases, reinforcing management’s confidence in the company’s intrinsic value and enhancing earnings per share (EPS). Looking ahead, the Group will continue executing its dual strategy of deepening core business capabilities and driving organic/inorganic network expansion across domestic and international markets.

Maiden PEA outlines a 9.4 year, 12,000 tonne per day open pit operation producing an average of 188,000 ounces of gold per year (223,000 ounces per year over the first five years) at a US$3,600/oz gold priceAfter-Tax NPV increases to C$3 Billion and 52% IRR at US$4,500/oz gold priceTORONTO, ON, Aug 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - White Gold Corp. (TSXV: WGO) (OTCQX: WHGOF) (FSE: 29W) ("White Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of an independent Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for its flagship White Gold Project (the "Project"), located in the traditional territory of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The PEA outlines a technically straightforward open pit mining operation with the potential for positive economics at a consensus long-term gold price and establishes the development framework for a district that remains largely untested beyond the deposits included in this study. Further to the positive PEA economics, the Company has identified numerous additional opportunities with the potential to extend mine life, increase annual production, and further increase project economics in subsequent studies including potential resource conversion and growth at the existing deposits with prior, ongoing and future drilling, the underground mining potential at Golden Saddle, and a prospective exploration pipeline in the immediate vicinity of the White Gold Project consisting of more than 25 identified targets discovered through the Company's systematic, data-driven exploration methodology.PEA HighlightsAll amounts in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Base case gold price of US$3,600/oz (flat) and an exchange rate of US$0.72 = $1.00.Positive Base Case Economics: After-tax net present value at five percent discount rate (NPV(5%)) of $1,911 million and after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 38% with a payback period of 1.7 years, at US$3,600/oz gold. Pre-tax NPV(5%) of $3,081 million and pre-tax IRR of 54%.Strong Cash Generation: Life of mine after-tax free cash flow of $2,685 million, averaging approximately $280 million per year.Significant Leverage to Gold Price: At US$4,500/oz, after-tax NPV(5%) increases to $2,996 million with an IRR of 52% (See Table 2).Meaningful Production Scale: Average annual gold production of 188,000 ounces over a nine year mine life, averaging 223,000 ounces per year over the first five years, from a conventional open pit operation and 12,000 tonne per day mill.Efficient cost structure: Life of mine cash costs of US$1,290/oz and all-in sustaining costs of US$1,480/oz.Established Road-Accessible Project: The White Gold Project is located in a region with a long history of placer mining, approximately 95 km south from Dawson City. The Project proposes to tie into the planned Northern Access Route (NAR) from Dawson City to neighbouring properties. The award of the construction contract (by others) for the NAR was announced earlier this year with mobilization underway. The Project will be accessed by an all-weather gravel road, which crosses the Stewart River by barge in summer and ice road in winter.Favourable Jurisdiction: The Project is located within the Traditional Territory of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in in Canada's Yukon Territory, a stable mining jurisdiction with a well-defined regulatory process, government support for responsible resource development, and consistently strong rankings in global mining investment surveys.First Phase of a District-Scale Opportunity: The PEA mine plan incorporates four deposits (Golden Saddle, Arc, Ryan's Surprise and VG) and only draws on approximately 60% of the Company's current mineral resource estimate completed in August 19th, 2025 of 1,732,300 ounces Indicated (35.2 Mt at 1.53 g/t gold) and 1,265,900 ounces Inferred (32.3 Mt at 1.22 g/t gold). Drill results from 2025 and current drilling are not included in the resource, and all four deposits are still open for expansion. The Project covers approximately 55,000 hectares with more than 25 additional targets identified across the property, the majority of which have seen limited or no drilling.Webinar Today: Company management will be hosting a live webinar TODAY August 10, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST to provide an overview of results. Interested parties are encouraged to register and attend here: https://6ix.com/event/white-gold-corp-announces-pea-results"Our Maiden PEA is a significant milestone for White Gold, delivering a project with strong economics and significant growth potential. Few gold projects anywhere offer this combination of scale, potential returns, favourable jurisdiction and upside. I would like to thank and congratulate our team and all stakeholders who have supported us over the years in advancing The White Gold Project from a conceptual exploration idea towards a development asset with a PEA that compares very well to its peers in the sector. Even more exciting is the growth potential of the White Gold Project based on previous and ongoing drilling not included in the PEA, future drilling and the substantial potential of our underexplored truly district scale land package within the White Gold District, which has seen significant recent investment by prominent mine builders further advancing it towards becoming a leading Canadian mining camp. We are very fortunate to have the right projects, in the right place, at the right time, with a great team and supporters to continue to responsibly build value for all stakeholders," stated David D'Onofrio, Chief Executive Officer, White Gold Corp."This is a strong technical foundation, built on deliberately conservative assumptions. The PEA open pit mine plan draws on less than two thirds of our current resource ounces and applies preliminary recovery assumptions. A 9.4 year operation producing an average of 188,000 ounces annually is a compelling initial configuration for a district where mineralization remains open and most of our targets remain undrilled. Underground mining was not included in this maiden PEA but remains a separate opportunity that will be examined as deeper drilling advances the higher-grade resource at Golden Saddle. The PEA results demonstrate a potentially economic project on a resource estimate dated August 19, 2025, which includes drilling information up to November 1st, 2025. Additional gold ounces would add to the already very positive potential economics of the project. The work ahead of us, including expansion drilling on known zones, greenfield target drilling, metallurgical optimization, updated resource estimation and the next stage of economic study, is precisely the kind of work that increases value per share over time," stated Donovan Pollitt, P.Eng., CFA, President, White Gold Corp.The PEA was prepared in accordance with the disclosure standards of National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"). The reader is cautioned that the PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.Figure 1: White Gold Project location and Quartz Claims MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12394/308830_048788c3a4aeca2d_001full.jpgPEA SummaryThe PEA was prepared by JDS Energy & Mining Inc.

Such measures have no standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. The Company believes that these measures and ratios provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the prospects of the Company. As the White Gold Project is not in production the prospective non‐GAAP financial measures or ratios may not be reconciliated to the nearest comparable measures under IFRS and the equivalent historical non-GAAP financial measure for each prospective non‐GAAP measure or ratio discussed herein is nil$.Mineral Resource EstimateThe PEA is based on the Company's mineral resource estimate with an effective date of August 19, 2025, summarized in Table 3. The PEA mine plan incorporates the Golden Saddle, Arc, Ryan's Surprise and VG deposits. Approximately one third of current resource ounces, including the QV deposit, sit outside the PEA mine plan and represent potential future additions subject to further drilling and study.Table 3: White Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate (Effective August 19, 2025)CategoryTonnes (Mt)Grade (g/t Au)Contained Gold (oz)Indicated35.21.531,732,300Inferred32.31.221,265,900 (2) Open pit resources reported at a 0.3 g/t Au cut-off and underground resources at a 2.3 g/t Au cut-off, at a gold price of US$2,250/oz. Approximately 99% of resources are near surface and amenable to open pit mining. The Golden Saddle deposit contains a high-grade core of over 1.1 million ounces Indicated at 2.84 g/t Au at a 1.0 g/t cut-off. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All numbers are rounded; overall numbers may not be exact due to rounding. See the Company's technical report, August 19, 2025, for full parameters.MiningThe PEA contemplates conventional open pit mining using truck and shovel methods at a nominal processing rate of 12,000 tonnes per day, with a total of 41 million tonnes of resource mined at an average grade of 1.54 g/t gold and a life of mine strip ratio of approximately 9:1, with 38% of material being classified as Inferred. The mine plan prioritizes higher-grade material in the early years of the production schedule after a one-year pre-strip period. Waste rock will be managed under a segregation protocol that separates potentially acid generating (PAG) material from non-acid generating (NAG) material, with PAG material placed in engineered, dedicated surface storage. This management approach is designed and costed in the PEA capital estimate rather than deferred to later study stages.Processing and RecoveryIn October 2025, White Gold initiated a metallurgical program to support the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Three representative mineralized domains were evaluated, designated VG, ARC, and Ryan's Surprise, by Base Met labs to develop the flowsheet, characterize processing performance and provide key design parameters for the proposed processing facility. The test program assessed comminution characteristics, cyanide leach performance, cyanide detoxification, thickening, and filtration testing.Ball mill work index testing was completed on samples from all three mineralized zones. The results demonstrated that the ARC and Ryan's Surprise zones are of an average hardness while the VG sample can be classified as moderately hard.Metallurgical optimization demonstrated that the implementation of a conventional carbon-in-leach ("CIL") processing flowsheet was the best option for the project. Testing confirmed that the Golden Saddle and VG deposits have similar metallurgy response with an average leach recovery of 92%. Predicted recoveries on material from the ARC and Ryan's Surprise deposits, which comprise 30% of the material in the PEA production schedule, are 72%. The CIL flowsheet was determined to be the most applicable for the project because testwork indicates that carbon associated with the ARC and Ryan's Surprise zones results in some preg-robbing. Preg-robbing is not an issue in the Golden Saddle and VG zones which comprise the bulk of the current mineral resource. The projected recovery for the four mineralized zones can be found in Table 4.Table 4: Proposed CIL RecoveryZoneProposed Recovery (%)Golden Saddle92VG92ARC72Ryan's Surprise72 In addition to recovery optimization, supporting testwork was completed to advance process plant design. This included cyanide detoxification testing, tailings thickening, and filtration testwork to establish design criteria for the tailings management and water recovery circuits. The results provide the engineering parameters required for preliminary sizing of the detoxification, thickening, and filtration equipment incorporated into the PEA process plant design outlined in Figure 2.Figure 2: Proposed Process FlowsheetTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12394/308830_048788c3a4aeca2d_002full.jpgProject InfrastructureProject Infrastructure includes, an engineered tailings storage facility constructed in stages across the mine life, an on-site power plant and bulk fuel storage, water management and treatment facilities, an airstrip, and an accommodation camp. The tailings facility design incorporates staged embankment construction and basin lining, with most of the tailings capital deployed as sustaining capital in step with the production schedule. The Project proposes to tie into the planned Northern Access Route (NAR) from Dawson City to neighbouring properties. The award of the construction contract (by others) for the NAR was announced earlier this year with mobilization underway.The overall layout showing the proposed location of the White Gold open pits, process plant, tailings and waste storage facilities, and project infrastructure is provided below in Figure 3.Figure 3: White Gold Proposed Site LayoutTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12394/308830_048788c3a4aeca2d_003full.jpgCapital CostsInitial capital is estimated at $1,050 million, inclusive of $139 million of contingency. Contingency was estimated by working area, with the highest rates applied to the process plant and tailings storage facility. Sustaining and closure capital of $472 million over the life of mine is driven primarily by staged tailings construction and includes closure and reclamation costs of $146 million net of salvage value, including contingency.Table 5: Capital Cost SummaryCapital CostC$ MillionsMining147On-Site Development57Mineral Processing166Tailings and Waste Management61On-Site Infrastructure (incl. power plant)190Off-Site Infrastructure11Indirect Costs143EPCM68Owner's Costs70Subtotal911Contingency139Total Initial Capital1,050Sustaining and Closure Capital (incl. $89M contingency)472Total LOM Capital1,522 Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.Operating CostsLife of mine operating costs are estimated at $74.23 per tonne processed, comprising open pit mining of $3.77 per tonne mined, processing of $27.34 per tonne processed, and G&A and site services of $10.98 per tonne processed. Life of mine cash costs are US$1,290 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs are US$1,485 per ounce. Average annual operating costs are estimated to be $350 million annually.Project OpportunitiesThe PEA is based on the current resource dated August 19, 2025, which includes drilling information up to November 1st, 2025. A total of 2,500 metres of drilling have been completed since then in 2025 with 15,000 to 20,000 metres being drilled on the project in 2026. The Company has identified a number of opportunities with the potential to extend mine life, increase annual production, and improve project economics in subsequent studies:Resource conversion and growth at existing deposits. Approximately one third of current resource ounces sit outside the PEA mine plan. Mineralization at the deposits included in the PEA mine plan remains open along strike and at depth, and these areas are logical candidates for incorporation in future studies as drilling advances.Underground mining potential at Golden Saddle. Underground mining was not part of the PEA. Current drilling is targeted on this higher-grade portion of the deposit. The potential for underground mining will be examined as deeper drilling advances.Metallurgical optimization for Arc and Ryan's Surprise. The PEA applies a preliminary recovery of 72.5% to Arc and Ryan's Surprise material. Further test work targeting improved recoveries from these deposits is a direct lever on project economics.District exploration pipeline. The property hosts more than 25 identified targets developed through the Company's systematic, data-driven exploration methodology. The majority have seen limited or no drill testing.Mine life extension through satellite feed. The processing facility is designed with capacity to accept feed from satellite deposits within trucking distance, providing a pathway to extend operations beyond the current mine plan without proportional capital addition.Figure 4: Known deposits and property target pipelineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12394/308830_048788c3a4aeca2d_004full.jpgFirst Nations and CommunityThe White Gold Project lies within the Traditional Territory of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in. The Company understands the importance of the land and water to First Nations and is committed to building on its longstanding relationship with the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in. The Company also acknowledges and commits to building relationships with the First Nations of White River, Selkirk and Na-Cho Nyäk Dun whose Traditional Territories overlap or partially overlap with a portion of the Company's mineral tenures or the proposed access route to the Project. The Company will engage openly and consistently as the Project advances through assessment, permitting, and development. Ensuring the Project delivers lasting benefits to the communities in the region, and the entire Yukon, will be a fundamental consideration as the Project moves forward.Permitting and EnvironmentalA foundation of historical site environmental work exists, supported by substantial regional baseline information. As the Project advances beyond the PEA stage, the Company expects to complete additional environmental baseline studies to support project design, First Nation engagement and consultation processes, and future permitting requirements.Mine development would be subject to environmental and socio-economic assessment under the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act ("YESAA"), administered by the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board ("YESAB"), followed by the issuance of key authorizations by the Yukon Government, including Quartz Mining and Water Use Licenses. The scope of studies typically required to support First Nation consultation and Yukon regulatory review is well established in Yukon with recent permitting precedents. At this time, the Company is not aware of any site-specific environmental issues that would be expected to materially adversely affect its ability to develop the Project as contemplated in the PEA.Next StepsWith the PEA complete, the Company's near-term priorities include:15,000-20,000 metres of drilling currently underway in 2026 focused on expanding known zones, with 3 drill rigs currently active on the property with a goal of continuing to increase total resources;Test promising new zones identified by soil geochemistry and geophysics.Additional metallurgical test work focused on Arc and Ryan's Surprise to further optimize recoveries and supporting the next study stage;Initiate programs to geotechnically and geochemically characterize the tailings and waste rock;Commence environmental baseline data collection and advancement of YESAA-readiness work; andOngoing engagement with the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in and White River as well as neighbouring First Nations and the Yukon Government.Qualified PersonsThe scientific and technical information included in this news release were reviewed and approved by the Qualified Persons listed in Table 6.Table 6: Qualified PersonsQualified PersonCompanyQualificationResponsibilityBrandon ChambersJDS Energy & Mining Inc.

HONG KONG, August 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On August 10, Unitree Robotics (688836.SH) officially opened for public subscription at an offering price of RMB150.80 per share. The IPO is priced at 219.23 times earnings, significantly above the industry average price-to-earnings ratio of 38.56 times. The premium that the market is willing to assign to what is widely regarded as the “first humanoid robotics stock” is clearly evident.According to the prospectus, entities affiliated with Meituan collectively hold a 9.6488% stake in Unitree Robotics, making them the company’s largest external institutional shareholder. Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK), through its affiliated investment funds, held approximately 3.8262% of Unitree Robotics prior to the offering, corresponding to a market value of roughly RMB2.3 billion and representing the largest disclosed stake held by a Hong Kong-listed company.For Shoucheng Holdings, however, the significance of this investment extends well beyond unrealised gains. Unitree Robotics’ transition from private-market valuation multiples to a publicly traded market price means that, for the first time, a major asset within Shoucheng’s robotics portfolio now has a transparent benchmark established by the public capital market.Yet the more important question is not simply how much Shoucheng has made from a single investment.As of the end of 2025, Shoucheng had cumulatively invested more than RMB2 billion across the broader robotics value chain, covering more than 20 companies including Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Galaxea, Zhizi Xinsuan, Moxian Technology and RobotEra. Chairman Zhao Tianyang has described this strategy as a “sector-wide investment approach” — rather than betting on a single company, Shoucheng is positioning itself for the systemic growth of the entire Physical AI ecosystem. More recently, the group initiated the establishment of the RMB3.5 billion Beijing Frontier Technology Innovation Fund, further expanding its exposure to emerging technologies.Private-market investment, IPO monetisation and new fund deployment are increasingly forming a self-reinforcing cycle of “value realisation plus continuous incubation” for Shoucheng. As investors place their subscription orders for Unitree Robotics, the public market is, for the first time, assigning a visible price to the long-term strategy of this patient-capital investor.

HONG KONG, August 7, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On August 3, 2026, Shaanxi Micot Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. ("Micot Pharma"; 2335.HK) announced positive topline data from the Phase II clinical trial of MT200605, a proprietary drug candidate independently developed by Micot Pharma for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The trial successfully met its primary endpoint with statistically significant results.Simultaneously, the organizing committee of the 18th World Stroke Congress (WSC 2026) officially notified the company that its abstract, titled "MT200605: A Novel Bifunctional Neuroprotectant for Ischemic Stroke", has been accepted for an oral presentation during the congress.The WSC is a premier international academic platform in the field of stroke, bringing together leading global experts in stroke research and clinical practice to showcase cutting-edge research, clinical trials, and innovative therapeutic strategies. Micot Pharma's selection for WSC 2026 will allow the company to share the non-clinical and Phase I results of MT200605 with global stroke experts, signifying that its innovative mechanism of action has garnered attention and recognition from mainstream international academia.Phase II Data Demonstrates Significant Improvement in Functional Outcomes with a Favorable Safety ProfileAccording to the announcement, the Phase II trial was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolling a total of 360 subjects with acute ischemic stroke. Data on the primary efficacy endpoint showed that the proportion of patients achieving a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0–1 at 90 days was higher in both the medium- and high-dose MT200605 groups than in the placebo group. In the high-dose group, the proportion of patients achieving mRS 0–1 was more than double that of the placebo group, with a statistically significant between-group difference. Consistent efficacy trends were also observed across the secondary efficacy endpoints.Throughout the trial period, no serious adverse events related to the investigational drug were reported. Treatment-emergent adverse events of grade 3 or higher were evenly distributed among the groups, and no new safety risks were identified, indicating overall good tolerability. This positive set of topline data provides a crucial clinical rationale for advancing MT200605 to the next stage of clinical development.Core Competitiveness Stems from a Globally Unique Mechanism of Action in Clinical StageThe core competitiveness of MT200605 originates from its globally unique mechanism of action among clinical-stage stroke therapies. To the best of the Company's knowledge, MT200605 is the only clinical-stage small-molecule agonist capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, targeting the BDNF/TrkB pathway, and exerting neurorestorative activity. The drug achieves comprehensive intervention across the upstream, midstream, and downstream stages of ischemic brain injury via a single molecule:- Upstream – improving blood flow: By modulating calcium signaling in vascular smooth muscle, MT200605 induces vasodilation, relieves secondary ischemia caused by microvascular spasm, improves microcirculation and enhances cerebral perfusion.- Midstream – limiting acute injury: MT200605 potently scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), limiting oxidative injury. It also activates TrkB to attenuate excitotoxicity and reduce neuronal apoptosis, helping rescue threatened neurons in the ischemic penumbra—the potentially salvageable tissue surrounding the infarct core.- Downstream – promoting repair: Sustained TrkB activation mimics the function of endogenous brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), initiating repair programs including synaptogenesis, axonal regeneration and neural network remodeling, and supporting subsequent functional recovery.Compared to existing drugs that only block damage through single or dual targets, MT200605 establishes a complete therapeutic cascade of "blood flow improvement – cellular protection – neural restoration." It holds the potential to become the first neuroprotectant in China to receive Class I recommendation and Level A evidence in clinical guidelines, potentially strengthening its differentiated competitive position.Massive Unmet Clinical Need Supported by National and International RecognitionThe Global Burden of Disease study reveals that in 2021, there were approximately 7.8 million incident cases of ischemic stroke globally. In China, the total number of stroke patients exceeds 26 million, with approximately 4 million new cases annually. The Global Stroke Report 2025 indicates that in terms of economic burden, the combined direct medical costs and productivity losses of stroke globally reached $890 billion in 2021 and are projected to surpass $1.8 trillion by 2050. This highlights a massive market demand that remains largely unmet.Currently, clinical treatment in this field has long faced two major pain points: some patients achieve successful vascular recanalization but still struggle with neurological recovery, while a large number of patients are unable to achieve recanalization and lack effective therapeutic options.To date, no neuroprotective agent has been approved for acute ischemic stroke in Europe or the United States, and relevant drugs marketed or used in parts of Asia still lack internationally recognized, high-level evidence-based support.In domestic clinical practice, neuroprotectants currently in use, such as butylphthalide and edaravone/edaravone dexborneol, only hold Level II recommendations with Grade B evidence according to the Chinese Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke 2023, with no products possessing Class I recommendation and Level A evidence. Existing therapies focus solely on the single aspect of "damage control" and lack pathways for synchronous neurological restoration, leaving a massive unmet clinical need in the market. Data from Moyi Pharma Intelligence shows that the peak terminal market size of just two mainstream neuroprotectants exceeds 6 billion RMB, and the overall market for traditional Chinese medicines for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China reached 93.5 billion RMB in 2024. This indicates vast growth potential for a new generation of neuroprotective drugs with differentiated advantages.Among all ischemic stroke therapies currently in the clinical stage, MT200605 is the only small-molecule agonist capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier, targeting the BDNF/TrkB pathway, and exerting neurotrophic effects.Just this May, MT200605 was successfully selected for the National Science and Technology Major Project for Innovative Drug Development and incorporated into the national strategic layout for tackling cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, making it one of the few candidate drugs in the domestic neuroprotective innovation sector to receive national-level project endorsement. Furthermore, the drug received Orphan Drug Designation from the US FDA for Huntington's disease in March 2026, providing policy support for its further expansion in neurological diseases.The company's breakthrough selection for the WSC, stepping onto the most influential academic stage, also marks MT200605's completion of a critical closed loop across three dimensions: "National Strategic Support – International Regulatory Recognition – Top-tier Academic Validation." This serves not only as a scientific endorsement of its original innovative mechanism but also as a significant milestone in its transition from the laboratory to global clinical practice.With the MT200605 Phase II study meeting its primary endpoint, its differentiated mechanism has demonstrated positive signals in clinical research for the first time. Against the backdrop of widespread clinical failures for new stroke neuroprotectants, MT200605, with its unique mechanism and robust Phase II efficacy and safety data, stands as a potential first-in-class candidate in China and positions Micot Pharma as one of the core value targets worthy of long-term tracking in the cerebrovascular innovative drug sector.

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, Aug 7, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Airwheel recently launched its AI wheel cabin luxury 20-inch carry on hand suitcase, quickly attracting widespread attention from frequent travelers and industry professionals alike. Technology has never simply changed the products people use. It has continuously reshaped the way people live, work, travel, and connect with the world. Smartphones transformed access to information, smart homes changed the relationship between people and their living spaces, and electric vehicles redefined personal transportation. Now, intelligent technology is moving into another everyday category: Suitcase.Airwheel is exploring what comes next by integrating intelligent technology with personal mobility. Through its evolving portfolio of AI Suitcase and Smart Suitcase products, the company is transforming conventional luggage from a passive storage tool into an active travel companion—one designed to help people move more freely, efficiently, and comfortably.From Traditional Luggage to Intelligent MobilityFor decades, the primary purpose of a suitcase has remained relatively simple: carry belongings from one destination to another. Improvements in materials, wheels, structural design, and ergonomics have made traditional luggage lighter and easier to maneuver, but modern travel increasingly demands more than simply carrying and pulling.Business travelers move rapidly between airports, railway stations, hotels, and meeting venues. Leisure travelers want greater freedom when exploring unfamiliar cities. Families seek ways to reduce the physical burden of moving luggage while making journeys more enjoyable.These evolving needs point toward a new role for luggage—one that goes beyond passive transportation.Airwheel's Rideable Cabin Suitcase concept combines electric propulsion, intelligent controls, human-machine interaction, and luggage functionality into a single platform. Instead of simply following the traveler, the suitcase can actively participate in the journey, offering a new approach to short-distance mobility.More Freedom Through Electric RidingAt the heart of Airwheel's intelligent luggage is an integrated electric drive system featuring high-performance motorized wheels and a proprietary smart riding handle.Once riding mode is activated, users can travel with electric assistance rather than continuously pulling a conventional suitcase. Whether navigating a busy airport terminal, transferring between railway platforms, or exploring a city, the Electric Suitcase is designed to reduce the physical effort associated with moving luggage.Depending on the model, Airwheel's intelligent rideable luggage can provide riding speeds of up to 13 km/h, offering travelers a more efficient and flexible way to move through everyday environments.The result is a shift from luggage as a burden that travelers have to pull toward luggage as a mobility companion that can actively assist them.Smart Connectivity That Puts Control in the Traveler's HandsIntelligence is not limited to electric propulsion. Airwheel extends the experience through digital connectivity and dedicated mobile applications available across major platforms, including Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS.Through the Airwheel app, users can monitor riding speed, battery level, mileage, and other operating information in real time. Depending on the model, users can also adjust speed settings, manage lighting effects, and access intelligent control functions.Additional features such as low-battery notifications, Bluetooth disconnection alerts, and remote control further connect the physical suitcase with the user's digital environment.Selected Airwheel models also support Apple Find My, providing an additional way for travelers to locate their luggage and improve peace of mind while traveling.Mobile Power for the Connected TravelerModern travel increasingly depends on connected devices. Smartphones, tablets, wireless earbuds, smartwatches, and other electronics have become essential travel companions, making convenient access to power an increasingly important part of the journey.Airwheel integrates USB charging connectivity into selected intelligent luggage models, allowing travelers to connect compatible devices when additional power is needed.This combination of electric mobility and portable power further expands the role of the modern Smart Suitcase, allowing it to support not only movement but also the digital needs of today's travelers.Designed for Real-World TravelFor intelligent luggage to become part of everyday transportation, technology must work within the practical requirements of modern travel.Airwheel has developed its product portfolio around different transportation and travel scenarios, including air travel, railway journeys, business trips, family vacations, and urban exploration. The range includes 20-inch Cabin Suitcase configurations designed for carry-on travel as well as larger 24-inch checked-luggage formats for travelers who require greater storage capacity.Selected models feature modular, removable lithium batteries designed around applicable transportation requirements, while TSA-compatible locking solutions add convenience for international travel.By considering dimensions, battery design, structural engineering, and everyday usability together, Airwheel aims to make intelligent mobility compatible with the realities of modern travel.A Growing Portfolio for Different Travel StylesRecognizing that no two travelers have exactly the same needs, Airwheel continues to expand its intelligent luggage portfolio across business travel, leisure, family trips, and long-distance journeys.Airwheel SE3SXD Ai Luxury Suitcase: Award-Winning Full-Intelligent Electric Rideable Cabin LuggageAs Airwheel's flagship intelligent riding suitcase, the SE3SXD represents the company's latest exploration of automated mobility.Its one-touch automatic deployment system allows the front motorized wheel and intelligent riding handle to extend and move into position automatically. With a simple touch, the suitcase can transition into riding mode without requiring users to manually adjust the riding mechanism.With its 20-inch Cabin Suitcase configuration, intelligent app connectivity, USB charging, and automated riding system, the SE3SXD demonstrates how an AI Suitcase can evolve beyond conventional luggage and become an intelligent mobility device for modern travelers.Airwheel SE3SX Cabin Suitcase: Making Smart Mobility More AccessibleThe SE3SX builds on Airwheel's mature intelligent riding technology with a balanced combination of practicality, connectivity, and everyday usability.Its 20-inch carry-on format is designed for business and leisure travel, while intelligent riding, USB charging, and app connectivity provide essential smart mobility functions.By focusing on a balanced product experience rather than excessive complexity, the SE3SX brings the advantages of a Smart Suitcase to a wider range of travelers.Airwheel SE3SL+ Hand Suitcase: Premium Smart Mobility for Frequent TravelersDesigned for frequent travelers and users seeking a more refined travel experience, the SE3SL+ combines premium industrial design with intelligent mobility.The model supports riding speeds of up to 9.9 km/h and integrates app connectivity, USB charging, and Apple Find My support. Its 20-inch design is intended for carry-on travel, while a modular removable lithium battery and relevant safety certification support its use across different transportation scenarios.An upgraded riding handle automatically locks into position after deployment, while the motorized front wheel system contributes to a smoother and more stable riding experience.Positioned as a premium Luxury Suitcase, the SE3SL+ brings together sophisticated design, smart connectivity, and electric mobility for business trips, international travel, and quality-focused journeys.Airwheel SE3T Electric Suitcacse : A Large-Capacity Rideable Suitcase for Extended TravelFor long-distance travel and trips requiring additional luggage capacity, the SE3T expands the concept of rideable mobility into a larger checked suitcase format.Its 24-inch body provides approximately 48 liters of storage capacity, offering sufficient space for multi-day trips and extended travel. A practical interior layout and side-opening design make packing and accessing belongings more convenient.With riding speeds of up to 13 km/h, the SE3T is designed to reduce the effort of moving larger and heavier luggage. Even when fully packed, its electric mobility system provides travelers with a more comfortable way to navigate airports, stations, and other transportation hubs.Airwheel SQ3S Kids Suitcase: Inspiring the Next Generation of Family TravelTravel is not only about reaching a destination—it is also about discovering the world along the way.Designed for children approximately 3 to 9 years old, the Airwheel SQ3S introduces intelligent rideable mobility to family travel. With a riding speed of up to 6.5 km/h, it allows children to move alongside their parents more easily while reducing fatigue during longer transfers.The suitcase also incorporates a high-fidelity audio system with TF card and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing children to enjoy music, stories, and educational content during travel.By combining mobility, entertainment, and luggage functionality, the SQ3S transforms a conventional children's suitcase into an interactive travel companion designed to make family journeys more engaging.Technology Built on Years of Intelligent Mobility DevelopmentAirwheel's current intelligent luggage portfolio reflects more than a single product innovation. Since its establishment in 2013, the company has focused on intelligent mobility and has explored the integration of electric drive systems, motion control, human-machine interaction, and smart technology across multiple categories.Its development journey has included intelligent self-balancing vehicles, smart bicycles, intelligent wheelchairs, and rideable luggage, creating a broader technical foundation for intelligent personal mobility.Airwheel has accumulated more than 600 patents worldwide, including international invention patents and PCT patents. The company has also received recognition across multiple international design programs, including the iF Design Award, MUSE Design Awards, Berlin Design Awards, French Design Awards, and Asian Design Awards.For Airwheel, patents and awards are not simply measures of technological or design achievement. They represent the company's continued effort to translate engineering capabilities into practical improvements in everyday user experiences.Redefining What a Suitcase Can BeThe evolution of luggage is entering a new stage.The modern suitcase no longer has to be limited to wheels, handles, and storage compartments. As intelligent technology becomes increasingly integrated into everyday objects, luggage can become connected, powered, responsive, and capable of actively supporting the traveler.Airwheel's vision is to accelerate that transition through a portfolio that brings together the capabilities of an AI Suitcase, Smart Suitcase, Rideable Suitcase, Electric Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase, Carry-On Suitcase, and Luxury Suitcase.From a compact 20-inch Cabin Suitcase designed for business flights to larger rideable luggage for extended journeys, the company's products demonstrate how intelligent mobility can be adapted to different travel lifestyles.The broader transformation is not simply about adding more technology to luggage. It is about using technology to make travel feel easier, more natural, and more free.As intelligent mobility continues to evolve, Airwheel is looking beyond the traditional definition of luggage—exploring a future in which travel equipment becomes an active part of the journey and a more intelligent connection between people, technology, and the world around them.Media ContactCompany: AirwheelContact: Media TeamEmail: Jonas@airwheel.net Website: https://www.airwheel.net Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 7, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Bercor, the global financial technology group, has launched Bercor Pay, a USD Visa card designed as one intelligent payment experience for people whose lives, work, and money already cross borders. Launched on 29 July 2026, Bercor Pay is accepted at millions of Visa merchants worldwide, supports Apple Pay and Google Pay, and shows every fee up front - a card built on Bercor's institutional-grade infrastructure and delivered directly to consumers.Global spending is one of the most common - and one of the most poorly served - parts of modern financial life. Cross-border consumers routinely encounter hidden markups, opaque fees, and cards that behave differently in different countries. Bercor Pay is built to close that gap: one USD card, one clear fee schedule, one global acceptance footprint. Customers can spend anywhere Visa is accepted and add the card to Apple Pay or Google Pay for tap-to-pay from a phone or watch."Boundaries are just lines on a map. Bercor Pay is built for a world that already lives that way - one intelligent payment experience for people whose lives, work, and money cross borders every day," said Javier Gonzales, Head of Business Development at Bercor.Bercor Pay is the consumer-facing division of the Bercor Group, which operates enterprise financial infrastructure (Bercor Finance), liquidity coordination (Bercor Flow), merchant infrastructure (Bercor POS), AI systems (Bercor Compute), and regional payment solutions (Bercor Solutions). The card benefits from that ecosystem depth: institutional-grade security and compliance underneath, consumer-grade simplicity on top - everything connected, into one intelligent payment experience."Trust is the foundation of everything Bercor builds. Bercor Pay brings that same institutional discipline to consumers - security, compliance, and clarity are built into the card, not added on top," added Gonzales.Bercor Pay launched on 29 July 2026, rolling out in phases starting with a first-batch cohort. Availability varies by country and region and is subject to compliance approval.About Bercor PayBercor Pay, by Bercor, is a USD Visa card built for global spenders. Accepted at millions of Visa merchants worldwide, digital-wallet ready, and backed by transparent fees shown up front. Bercor Pay is the consumer-facing division of the Bercor Group, bringing institutional-grade infrastructure to individual users.About BercorBercor Technology Limited (https://www.bercor.com) provides core fintech infrastructure for B2B and B2C markets, focusing on enterprise payments, cross-border solutions, and multi-currency digital capabilities.

HONG KONG, August 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Morningstar, the renowned international rating agency, recently released its latest quantitative equity research report on China International Marine Containers (Group) Co., Ltd. (02039.HK), raising the company’s fair value estimate to HK$10.27 per share and assigning it a 4-star rating. According to the report, as of 30 July 2026, CIMC Group’s H-shares were trading at an approximately 25% discount to fair value, highlighting the stock's valuation appeal.The report notes that the company’s valuation metrics are a key driver behind the upward revision in fair value. CIMC Group’s book value yield stands at 107.1%, placing it in the top 30% among global industry peers, with the market price trading low relative to the company's book value equity — the core logic underpinning the case for valuation recovery. At the same time, the company’s EBITDA interest coverage ratio stands at 2.1, also ranks in the top 30% within the industrials sector, reflecting a balance sheet capable of providing support.Beyond the findings of the Morningstar report, recent public disclosures from the company points to a number of positive developments on both the shareholder-return and operational fronts.In terms of shareholder returns, CIMC Group has continued to step up its efforts. Following the completion of a large-scale share repurchases in 2025, in July 2026, CIMC Group's board once again launched a new round of H-share repurchases, planning to use no more than HK$173 million to repurchase H-shares. This sustained buyback activity echoes Morningstar's “undervalued” assessment, and sends a clear signal to the market that managementconsiders the current share price to be undervalued.On the operational side, the offshore engineering segment is emerging as a key profit growth engine. In Q1 2026, CIMC Raffles secured US$750 million in newly effective contracts, marking its successful entry into the VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) construction market. Moving into Q2, CIMC Raffles won orders for two additional 7,000-CEU dual-fuel LNG car carriers, as well as orders for 4+6 live fish carriers. In June 2026, CIMC Raffles achieved a historic milestone by winning the full EPCIC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning) contract for the Greater PAJ FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading unit) project in Angola — the first time a Chinese shipbuilder has secured a full-chain newbuild FPSO project of this kind, providing a solid backlog to support earnings over the next three to five years. In container manufacturing, the order book remains full, with production scheduled through the end of Q3. In addition, emerging businesses such as modular data centers are also experiencing rapid growth.With successive breakthroughs in high-end offshore engineering manufacturing, a sustained recovery in container business momentum, and reinforced by the professional endorsement of Morningstar's latest HK$10.27 fair value estimate and 4-star quantitative star rating, the medium-to-long-term investment case for CIMC Group’s H-shares is attracting renewed attention from international investors.

LOS ALTOS, CA, Aug 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As generative AI scales, research confirms that large language models (LLMs) continue to hallucinate, fabricate sources and make mistakes with confidence. This creates unprecedented risks for enterprises deploying AI for agentic automation, research, content creation and decision-making.To solve this problem, TrustScale today announced the launch of Argus, a patent-pending AI assurance platform. Unlike "AI checking AI" approaches, Argus uses empirical evidence and deterministic verification to review AI-generated content, flag unsupported claims and suggest evidence-based corrections before AI mistakes are published, shared or relied upon.Research shows that AI hallucination rates vary greatly by task and increase with complexity. Even simple query responses on frontier models can average up to 20% hallucinations, with industry-specific AI query responses hallucinating as much as 88% of the time (Stanford RegLab). Hallucinations cost organizations nearly $70 billion a year. Argus empowers users to verify AI-generated claims up to 135x faster than manual research, reducing hallucinations and improving AI output accuracy by up to 98.5%."The AI industry spent years making AI smarter, but trustworthy AI is the bigger problem to solve now," said Lawrence Snapp, CEO of TrustScale. "AI is probabilistic by design but enterprises are responsible for the costs and risks of AI mistakes. Argus mitigates the problem by providing independent evidence before users act on generative AI outputs."Healthcare, law and academia are high-stakes industry examples where AI users are unsuspectingly exposed to AI hallucination risks. Compounding the issue, Anthropic research shows 91.3% of AI users do not check facts and claims, creating environments where a ‘silent failure' can lead to direct human harm. In real-time, Argus prevents unintended consequences by detecting hallucinations, overlaying color-coded TrustScore highlights and offering deterministic evidence to support or contradict AI claims. It then empowers users with inline suggestions to correct AI mistakes with one-click.Based on more than 20 years of AI data experience, Argus is built on the TrustScale Engine, a proprietary platform that creates a continuous trust control plane for AI assurance, helping users make informed decisions without disrupting workflows."AI makers claim to be safer for you, self-governing or truth-seeking. But conflicting evidence, varying perspectives, nuanced language and independent assurance matter when it comes to AI", said Dominique Shelton Leipzig, CEO of Global Data Innovation. "TrustScale's Argus is the first real-time, continuous assurance platform that empowers humans with evidence and enables trustworthy AI. The AI stakes are too high to let a few big models dictate your truth."Argus by TrustScale is available today in 12 languages for enterprises and as a research preview for individuals at TrustArgus.ai or use it anywhere via the Chrome extension. The enterprise solution can be installed in private and public data environments alongside any AI model, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Grok. Request a demo at www.TrustScale.ai.About TrustScaleTrustScale is an AI training, evaluation and assurance company helping organizations create, shape and use artificial intelligence with greater confidence and control. Built on more than 20 years of experience in AI data across 200-plus languages, TrustScale develops independent deterministic technologies that detect AI mistakes, evaluate claims against empirical evidence and keep people at the center of consequential decisions. Its Argus platform provides real-time hallucination detection, TrustScore ratings and evidence-based correction suggestions across public and private data environments.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - An award-winning documentary about six international students finding theirfooting in Shanghai drew students, academics and filmmakers to the Golden Screen Cinema (GSC) MyTOWN on 1August 2026, for its special Malaysian screening presented by Fudan University and YoyWow.From left 1) Mr Wu Bei, Director; Fudan University alumnus 2) Professor Tang Jun, Producer; Department of Journalism, Fudan Univer. Yu Chuchu, a student from School of Journalism, Fudan University; Production CrewThe Moon Is Yours - follows students from Italy, Zimbabwe, Croatia, Russia, the United States and Thailand through18 months at Fudan University. It is less a film about studying abroad than about what surrounds it: the languagestumbles, the homesickness, the friendships formed across six different first languages, and the slow work of making an unfamiliar city feel like home.The screening arrives at a moment of deepening educational ties between the two countries. More than 5,000Malaysian students were enrolled at Chinese higher education institutions as of April 2026, according to the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Malaysia.Over 80 guests attended the screening event, including faculty and students from Kuala Lumpur University of Science and Technology, which has been instrumental in promoting the documentary, as well as representatives from various local and international universities in Malaysia, all coming together to witness the film’s premiere in Malaysia.Rather than dwelling on academic achievement, the documentary lingers on ordinary moments - a shared meal, adifficult phone call home, a small breakthrough in a lecture hall - through which its six protagonists build independence and a working understanding of one another.Mr Wu Bei, Director; Fudan University alumnus, said the film set out to show international education through thepeople living it: "The students in this documentary come from very different places, but they carry the same hopes and the same uncertainties as young people anywhere," he said."We wanted to show that studying abroad is not only an academic journey. It is also one of self-discovery, of friendship, and of learning to see the world through someone else's experience. Bringing the film to Malaysia gives students, academics and audiences here a chance to exchange perspectives, and to consider how education andstorytelling can bring societies closer together."Professor Tang Jun, Producer; Department of Journalism, Fudan University, said that the documentary reflectsthe human side of international education beyond academic achievements: "A university is often described through its rankings and its research output. That tells you very little about what actually happens inside it."Documentary work lets us show the human side of a campus - the friendships, the misunderstandings, the small adjustments people make for each other. For a School of Journalism, this is also how we teach. Our students learn to observe and to tell someone else's story with care."Yu Chuchu, a student from the School of Journalism at Fudan University, served as a full-time crew memberfor the documentary commented on the filmmaking approach: "We filmed for over a year, and most of what madethe final cut was not planned. It was the students cooking together at midnight or sitting quietly after an exhausting day. Those were the moments that told us who they were becoming."We did not want a documentary about how impressive it is to study overseas. We wanted a film about the ordinary difficulty of it, because that is the part people recognised."Mr. Wang Zheng, General Manager, YoyWow Communications, said the documentary aims to spark conversations about international education and cultural exchange in Malaysia: "We brought this film to Kuala Lumpur because the conversation it opens is already happening here. Thousands of Malaysian families are weighing up where their children should study, and what that decision will mean for them."This documentary does not answer that question, but it shows honestly what the experience looks like from the inside. That felt worth putting in front of a Malaysian audience."With more than 5,000 Malaysians now studying in China, the questions raised in The Moon Is Yours are no longer abstract ones for audiences here. This screening offered a version of that experience told from the inside - not as a case for studying abroad, but as an honest account of what it asks of you.About Fudan UniversityFudan University was established in 1905 as Fudan Public School in Shanghai China. It was the first institution of higher education to be founded by a Chinese person.The two characters, fù (“return”) and dàn (“dawn”) were borrowed from A Commentary on The Classic of History（《尚书大传·虞夏传》）, of which the part on the Yu and the Xia dynasties mentions: “Brilliant are the sunshine andmoonlight, again the morning radiance returns at dawn.” In 1917, the institution was renamed Fudan University, which has been kept ever since.About YoyWow CommunicationsShenzhen YoyWow Communication Co., Ltd.

LAS VEGAS, NV, Aug 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Agassi Sports Entertainment Corp. (OTCID:AASP) ("ASE" or the "Company") today announced the launch of its global "Let's Play" pickleball and padel platform initiative, which has the goal of creating a leading network of pickleball and padel clubs worldwide through potential acquisitions, strategic partnerships, collaborations and franchising opportunities.The initiative expands ASE's vision of building an integrated global racket sports platform spanning technology, events, media and now destination-based facilities. ASE intends to create welcoming environments where players of all ages can compete, connect and build community while providing operators with branding, programming and operational support."Pickleball and padel are rapidly becoming global lifestyle sports that bring together wellness, fitness, and social connection," said Ron Boreta, Chief Executive Officer of ASE. "We believe that facilities are the foundation of that experience. By bringing clubs under a trusted global brand, we hope to raise the standard for what a club feels like: more welcoming, more social, and simply more fun, while giving operators the scale, support, and branding they need to sustain long term growth."Andre Agassi, Co-Founder of ASE added, "This isn't simply about building more courts. Great facilities become the heart of a community. We want every ‘Let's Play' club to be a place where people come to play, stay active, connect with others and create lasting memories. That's the experience we will work to bring to communities around the world."A Global StrategyASE intends to pursue potential opportunities throughout North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and other international markets as it seeks to establish a globally recognized network of pickleball and padel facilities under the Agassi Sports Entertainment umbrella.To execute this strategy, ASE intends to seek to acquire and partner with existing facility operators with the goal of developing a scalable franchising platform that delivers consistent branding, programming and member experiences across its network. The Company hopes to leverage the global recognition of the Agassi Sports Entertainment leadership team to accelerate market adoption and establish destinations that combine recreation, wellness, and community engagement for players of all ages.Germany and Australia Expected to Lead Initial ExpansionASE's first international efforts are expected to focus on Germany and Australia, two markets where we believe participation in pickleball and padel is accelerating rapidly. The Company's initiative in Germany will be led by tennis legend Stefanie Graf, winner of 22 Grand Slam singles titles, while the Company's initiative in Australia will be led by globally renowned tennis coach and broadcaster Darren Cahill, who has coached four No. 1 players and currently coaches No. 1 Jannik Sinner."Pickleball is rapidly becoming a major movement in the United States, and we believe that there is a tremendous opportunity to expand participation throughout Europe, particularly in my home country of Germany," said Graf. "I've always been passionate about helping more people enjoy racket sports, and I'm excited to introduce more communities to the health, wellness, and social benefits these sports provide.""I've spent much of my career helping athletes perform at the highest level," said Cahill. "Working with Andre again to help grow racket sports throughout Australia is an exciting opportunity. The momentum behind pickleball and padel is remarkable, and I look forward to helping build vibrant communities around these sports."Both Graf and Cahill are expected to advise on facility design, programming, player development and regional and local market strategies as the Company seeks to establish its future "Let's Play" locations.More Than CourtsEach "Let's Play" location is envisioned as more than a sports facility. ASE intends to create destinations that combine recreation, wellness, hospitality and community programming, while integrating coaching, events and technology-enabled experiences with the goal of creating a differentiated offering for players of all ages.The Company is currently in the beginning stages of discussions with facility operators, developers and strategic partners regarding potential future acquisitions, collaborations and franchise opportunities across multiple international markets; however, the Company has not acquired any facilities to date, has not entered into any definitive agreements to acquire any facilities, and is not party to any strategic partnership, collaboration or franchising agreements, at the time being.Additional details about the initiative, including preliminary branding and conceptual facility renderings, are expected to be included in an updated investor presentation which will be filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K and made available in the investor Relations section of the Company's website, in the coming days.About Agassi Sports EntertainmentAgassi Sports Entertainment (ASE) is a sports and entertainment company focused on building the next generation of racket sports experiences, spanning events, media, technology and now facilities.
