ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, June 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - New research released today by Akkodis, a global leader in digital engineering consulting and part of the Adecco Group, shows that CTO confidence in scaling AI is declining, falling to 48% in 2026 from 82% in 2024 - even as AI adoption accelerates and enterprises face growing pressure to turn ambition into execution at scale.Image: What CTOs Think 2026: Scaling the agentic enterprise with confidence. Source: AkkodisThe third edition of Akkodis' What CTOs Think report, What CTOs Think 2026: Scaling the agentic enterprise with confidence, features insights from 500 Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) as part of the Adecco Group's Business Leaders 2026 research of 2,000 C-suite executives, The human premium: Leadership beyond the algorithm. It shows that while AI investment continues to grow, organizations are constrained less by access to technology than by the complexity of integrating AI across enterprise systems, workflows and decision-making.Agentic AI emerges as a defining enterprise trendThe research identifies agentic AI - systems capable of planning, decision-making and executing tasks - as the most impactful technology trend shaping organizations in 2026, cited by 40% of CTOs as a top driver of impact. This shift marks a transition from AI as a tool that supports work to one that actively participates in execution - introducing new requirements for governance, accountability and operating model design.However, despite growing adoption, most organizations have yet to establish the structures needed to scale these systems effectively. More than half of CTOs (57%) report using AI to determine which tasks are best suited to humans versus machines, yet clarity around task allocation continues to limit progress.Why organizations struggle to scale AIThe findings point to a clear shift: the challenge is no longer deploying AI, it is integrating it into how the enterprise operates. As organizations move beyond pilot programs, execution complexity increases across leadership alignment, governance and workforce trust:Only 44% of CTOs believe leadership teams have sufficient AI understandingJust 46% report established frameworks for responsible AIOnly 36% express satisfaction with workforce trust levelsPersistent barriers cited by CTOs continue to limit progress:Lack of in-house technology skills (32%)Uncertainty around return on investment (31%)Lack of urgency at the business level (27%)Together, these findings suggest that scaling AI is increasingly an operational challenge, not a technology constraint, requiring organizations to redesign how systems, processes and decision-making work together.Digital transformation shifts from efficiency to innovationThe report also highlights a fundamental shift in how organizations define the value of digital transformation. For the first time, CTOs cite innovation, not efficiency, as the primary driver of digital investment, signaling a move from cost-focused optimization toward growth, differentiation and new business models.As AI capabilities mature, the marginal gains from efficiency are diminishing, increasing the importance of innovation as a source of competitive advantage. While the shift is global, priorities vary by industry - from workforce development in aerospace to innovation acceleration in life sciences and resilience in energy - underscoring the need for sector-specific approaches to scaling AI.AI is reshaping work, not eliminating itRather than driving widespread job loss, AI is fundamentally changing how work is structured at the level of skills and tasks:50% of CTOs report changes in required skills49% report shifts in day-to-day activitiesOnly 21% report workforce reduction due to AIThis reinforces the need for organizations to redesign workflows and responsibilities to support a hybrid human-AI workforce."What we're seeing now is not a slowdown in AI adoption, but a moment of realism," said Jo Debecker, President & CEO of Akkodis. "Organizations are moving beyond experimentation and encountering the reality of scaling AI across complex environments. The challenge is no longer deploying AI, it's integrating it into how work gets done. The companies making progress are those redesigning their operating models, aligning technology, human expertise and governance to deliver consistent results."From pilots to orchestration: Scaling AI requires a new operating modelThe report identifies three emerging organizational approaches:Task Automators - using AI primarily for efficiencyPilot Operators - experimenting with AI but struggling to scaleEnterprise Orchestrators - embedding AI into workflows and decision-makingOrganizations that succeed are those that move beyond isolated pilots to orchestrate AI across systems, processes, and teams, integrating technology with human expertise to deliver measurable outcomes.Access the full report here.Media contactsAnne FriedrichSVP, Global Head of Communications, AkkodisM. +4915174633470E. anne.friedrich@adeccogroup.comLisa BushkaVP, External Communications, AkkodisM. +18604630770E. lisa.bushka@adeccogroup.comAbout AkkodisAkkodis is a global digital engineering consulting company that enables organizations to innovate and accelerate by applying technology to redefine how processes and products are developed, powered and optimized.

JAKARTA, June 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - WINS acquires control through taking full ownership of Fast Offshore Supply Pte Ltd, expanding into the building and operation of Fast Aluminium Crew Transfer Vessels (CTV) with 5 units of new CTVs to be delivered in 2027 and a shipbuilding contract of 5 additional units for 2028 delivery.PT Wintermar Offshore Marine Tbk (WINS) has acquired the remaining 52.5% shareholding of associated company Fast Offshore Supply Pte Ltd ("FOS") in Singapore, and 49% of PT Fast Offshore Indonesia ("FOI"), in which WINS previously had a 51% stake, thereby gaining full control of FOS and its subsidiary FOI.FOS has a significant presence in Brunei, having supplied offshore vessels there for 10 years. In 2025, FOS won an international tender to supply 5 units of next generation aluminum Crew Transfer Vessels (CTV) to a major oil company in Brunei, with delivery in 2027. These 5 units will be owned by FOS and chartered for an initial 5-year period with options to extend. Subsequently, FOS was awarded a shipbuilding contract by the same client to build and sell an additional 5 units of CTVs by 2028. These 55m CTVs are innovatively designed to meet stringent requirements, particularly for availability and operability throughout the year. Equipped with a motion-compensated gangway for safe personnel transfer to offshore platforms, DP systems, and triple bow thrusters, they will be powered by 4 units of CAT engines delivering 9,000 BHP and 4 units of Hamilton HT810 waterjets for propulsion. These high tier vessels provide critical station-keeping capability for safe personnel and cargo transportation services.FOS is a specialized shipbuilder, having designed and built aluminum vessels in their shipyard in Singapore since 2008. FOS currently owns 7 units of Fast Multi-purpose Aluminum Vessels (FMPV), which were built in FOS's shipyard in Singapore. With the acquisition, Wintermar's high tier fleet will increase from 12 to 22 units including the 5 new build CTVs, while the DP fleet owned will increase to 25 units.With strong oil prices, the OSV industry globally has demand growth while supply of new vessels has been limited. The lack of significant new building in the past years has also brought the average age of Wintermar's fleet up to 16 years. This acquisition brings a fleet of newly built DP vessels with long term contracts, thus lowering the average age of the fleet to 14 years and providing earnings visibility, as well as introducing a new earnings stream from shipbuilding.The Company is acquiring 52.5% of FOS from Seacoral Maritime Pte Ltd, an affiliated company of WINS, at a valuation of US$26 million, and 49% of FOI from FOS at US$7 million. The acquisition prices are in line with the independent valuation report, and this transaction has obtained a fairness opinion issued by an Independent Appraiser, KJPP Tri, Santi dan Rekan, dated 17 June 2026, in compliance with OJK regulation POJK 42/2020 regarding Affiliated Party Transactions and Potential Conflict of Interest Transactions, which states that the affiliated party transaction by WINS is fair. The transaction value represents a price-to-book ratio of 1.01% (FOS) and 0.96% (FOI) and is earnings accretive, as WINS will be able to fully consolidate the earnings arising from the 5-year charter and the shipbuilding contract. WINS will finance the acquisition through internal cash flow and a loan of US$20 million. Following the acquisition, FOI will be converted to a fully domestic Indonesian company compliant with Indonesian cabotage regulations and will focus on supplying Indonesian-flagged aluminum vessels in anticipation of stronger Indonesian demand.With the acquisitions, FOS and FOI will become wholly owned subsidiaries of WINS, allowing WINS to fully capture the financial upside of the imminent charter and shipbuilding contracts without minority leakage. WINS has further strengthened its position as a leading OSV owner and operator of DP vessels in Asia and acquired a new fleet of DP vessels with long term contracts. This acquisition has expanded the scope of business and improves earnings visibility for the WINS group.About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 44 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters.

SHENZHEN, June 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (867.HK/8A8.SG) (“CMS”, or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that, the New Drug Application for Silevimig Injection (GR1801, the “Product”), a Class 1 therapeutic biological product has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration of the People’s Republic of China (“NMPA”) and the drug registration certificate was obtained on 22 June 2026. The Product is indicated for passive immunization in adults following rabies virus exposure.Silevimig Injection is the world’s first fully human bispecific antibody targeting dual epitopes of the rabies virus (“RABV”), which is consistent with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (“WHO”) for a “cocktail” therapeutic paradigm. It demonstrates broad neutralization, which can effectively neutralize different viral strains or genotypes of RABV, providing immediate protection. Moreover, it is the passive immunization product with the smallest dose for rabies, resulting in less injection volume and easier administration, which can effectively reduce patient pain and improve compliance. In addition, the Product can be manufactured at scale with standardized processes and controlled production cost, and also carries no risks of blood-borne infections, low immunogenicity, and minimal interference with vaccine-induced active immunization. The market for rabies passive immunization is substantial, yet existing passive immunization products are constrained by low market penetration and limitations in safety and accessibility. The approval of the Product will provide a new treatment option for patients requiring urgent post-exposure management against rabies in China.The approval of Silevimig Injection expands the Group’s commercialized innovative drug portfolio to 8 products, with 6 more innovative drugs under marketing review and approximately 20 projects advancing clinical development, further strengthening a tiered innovation pipeline. As of now, CMS’s innovation transformation strategy has fully entered the value-harvesting phase. Leveraging the Group’s existing expert network and market resources, the commercialization rollout of Silevimig Injection is expected to proceed steadily providing sustained momentum to the Group’s performance growth.About RabiesRabies is an acute zoonotic disease caused by RABV, clinically characterized by aerophobia, hydrophobia, pharyngeal muscle spasms, and progressive paralysis[1], with a case-fatality rate approaching 100%. At present, there is no proven treatment for rabies once clinical symptoms appear. Standardized post-exposure management, comprising wound care, vaccination, and passive immunization administered as needed, remains the most effective strategy[2]. As vaccine-induced antibodies require 1-2 weeks after the first dose of vaccine injection to reach protective levels, passive immunization provides immediate coverage[1]. According to the National Technical Guidelines for the Rabies Exposure Prophylaxis (2023 Edition), patients with Category III exposure and those with Category II exposure involving severe immunodeficiency should receive passive immunization at the same time as the first dose of rabies vaccine[3]. In China, more than 40 million people are exposed to rabies annually, of whom approximately 40% fall under Category III exposure[1]. However, due to factors such as limited awareness, high cost, and restricted accessibility, only about 15% of Category III cases receive passive immunization[1]. Currently, the primary approved passive immunization option in China is human rabies immune globulin (“HRIG”). However, HRIG must be sourced from healthy donors, making it difficult and costly to obtain. Furthermore, it carries potential risks of blood-borne infections. This has led to a low penetration rate of passive immunization products in China.More information about Silevimig InjectionSilevimig Injection is a recombinant, fully human bispecific antibody against rabies virus. It targets the viral envelope glycoprotein (G protein) of RABV and blocks its interaction with host receptors by binding to epitopes I and III. Through this mechanism, Silevimig Injection specifically neutralizes the RABV prior to the establishment of full protection by active rabies vaccination.In a Phase III clinical trial in adults, the Product met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating non-inferior protective efficacy compared with HRIG, the currently most used passive immunization product in China. The study confirmed that the Product provides immediate protection during the early stages of rabies virus exposure without compromising the active immune response induced by vaccination. In addition, a Phase III clinical trial in children and adolescents aged 2 to

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, June 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new assay results from its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. Today's results reflect the scale of deep, step-out drilling underway with eight drill rigs currently active across a broad area. Of note, drill hole OB-26-378W3 has intersected at least five separate zones of classic O'Brien gold mineralization at 1,720 metres vertical depth at "O'Brien Mine East", the deepest yet extension of vein mineralization beneath the historic mine workings. The ongoing drilling continues to extend the scope of gold mineralization beyond the Company's recent updated March 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") in multiple locations simultaneously. Highlights (Figure 1 and Table 1) include:OB-26-378W3 intersected multiple high-grade zones of mineralization:4.06 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 13.1 metres (core length) including 23.79 g/t Au over 1.0 metre; and3.52 g/t Au over 13.0 metres including 22.06 g/t Au over 1.3 metres; and8.43 g/t Au over 4.2 metres including 26.08 g/t Au over 1.1 metres; and5.38 g/t Au over 4.3 metres including 9.79 g/t Au over 1.3 metres; and9.90 g/t Au over 1.0 metre;OB-26-385W3 intersected 178.69 g/t Au over 1.1 metres and 20.93 g/t Au over 1.0 metre;OB-26-377W5 intersected 7.00 g/t Au over 4.3 metres including 25.42 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and 3.25 g/t Au over 5.9 metres including 9.42 g/t Au over 1.6 metres;OB-26-386W2 intersected 8.74 g/t Au over 3.0 metres including 16.36 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and 3.02 g/t Au over 3.5 metres including 5.92 g/t Au over 1.5 metres;Matt Manson, President and CEO: "Today's drill results are another example of the very high success rate that we are achieving in extending the scope of gold mineralization at O'Brien. A highlight of this news release is drill hole OB-26-378W3, which has returned impressive high-grade mineralization at 1,720 metres vertical depth, the deepest yet intercept beneath the former mine workings in what we refer to as "O'Brien Mine East". This drill hole shows an aggregate 36 metres of gold-mineralized core across multiple zones exhibiting very high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold veins within broader mineralized alteration envelopes. We use this hole in today's release to illustrate this classic style of mineralization at O'Brien, and how it relates to future potential mining. Also in today's release, OB-26-377W5 extends mineralization in the O'Brien Mine East area westward, below areas of the former mine that weren't previously developed, and OB-26-386W2 is another hole closing the "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap" within the central part of the deposit (see Radisson news release dated June 1, 2026). Recall also that Radisson previously announced multiple zones of high-grade mineralization at 1.9 kilometres vertical depth in drill hole OB-26-384 at the Project's "Trend #1" (see Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026), our deepest hole yet drilled. We have not yet determined the limit of gold mineralization at any location in the Project's core central area of mineral resources. Our drilling continues, with eight rigs active."

This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency and minimize costs. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing eight drill rigs (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025).Table 1: Assay Results from Select Drill HolesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/302302_radissontableone.jpgNotes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:The O'Brien Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate effective January 31, 2026 utilizes a 2.20 g/t Au bottom cutoff, a US$2,500 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 60 g/t Au upper cap on individual assays. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off. Sample grades are uncapped. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of core length. Table 3 presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed.

This hole intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated December 16, 2024). Fifteen wedge branches were completed from OB-24-337 delineating up to eight gold-bearing veins over a 250-metre by 700-metre area (Figure 2; see Radisson news release dated February 12, 2026). In March 2026, Radisson published an interim update in the Project's mineral resources, showing meaningful growth based on the on-going drilling (see Radisson news release dated March 2, 2026).The focus of the step-out drill program has been the extension of mineralization at depth, with an exploration floor of 2 kilometres depth, and recently announced plans to extend this drilling to 2.5 kilometres depth (see Radisson news release dated May 28, 2026). Given the character of neighbouring gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project, Radisson believes that significant exploration potential exists to these depths, and such mineralization might reasonably be expected to be developed.Today's results include four holes targeting the deep extension of mineralization below the former mine workings on its eastern, and principle down plunge extension (OB-26-377W5, OB-26-378W3, OB-26-385W2 and OB-26-385W3; "O'Brien Mine East", Figure 1). All four holes returned zones of significant mineralization (Table 1, Figure 1). In particular, O'Brien Mine East holes OB-26-378W3 returned at least five mineralized zones with high grades in multiple quartz-sulphide-gold veins over an aggregate 36 metres of core length at 1,720 metres vertical depth (Figure 2, and as detailed below). OB-26-385W3 intersected two individual veins with very high grades of 178.69 g/t Au over 1.1 metres and 20.93 g/t Au over 1.0 metre while infilling a gap in drill coverage at shallower depths in the same O'Brien Mine East area. OB-26-377W5 extended the scope of mineralization at O'Brien Mine East on its western side with at least three zones of mineralization, such as 7.0 g/t Au over 4.3 metres including 25.42 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (Figure 3).Figure 3: Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company Since March 2026To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/302302_60ef4c31e4b239a7_004full.jpgIn addition to the progressively deeper drilling, the 140,000-metre program includes targeting of areas within the O'Brien geological model that have not previously been tested and offer the potential for additional mineral resources at shallower depths. As exploration drilling at O'Brien has progressed over the last several years, high-grade intercepts and vein delineations have typically been followed up with additional drilling on steep east plunging trends. This is consistent with the observation of steeply plunging high-grade shoots in the historical O'Brien mine, from surface trenching, and from the orientation of grade trends in the MRE. This exploration strategy has resulted in a number of large-scale mineralization "Trends 0 to 5" being delineated, with intervening "gaps". These gaps are typically defined by a lack of drilling rather than a lack of mineralization. Significant gaps include between the former mine and "Trend 0", and a gap of 800 metres vertical extent between "Trends 1 and 2" (Figure 1). Recent drill results have indicated significant mineralization within the important "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap" (see Radisson news release dated June 1, 2026). Today's release includes results from drill hole OB-26-386W2 from the same gap area, with additional zones of mineralization such as 8.74 g/t Au over 3.0 metres including 16.36 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (Table 1). The implication of this "gap" drilling is that continuity of mineralization at O'Brien, which is well established vertically in the drill data and from the historic mine, can also be established laterally between what were previously thought to be discrete mineralization trends. Currently, the large "Trend 0 Gap" is being tested with a new deep pilot hole set up to approach from the north due to access considerations. If successful, this pilot hole will be used to give wide coverage of this previously undrilled area with multiple wedge branches and directional drilling.Today's results also include the final two shallower holes located in the lower-priority "Thompson-Cadillac" area. These again confirm the extension of the Project's mineralizing system west of the historic mine, albeit at lower average grades. Taken together, these latest seven drill holes at the Project show the very high incidence of high-grade intercepts with grade and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources ("hits", per Table 2) from a step-out drill program specifically targeting non-resource areas (Figure 3).Table 2: Drill Results Published for the O'Brien Gold Project Since December 2024Date of PublicationTotal Number of Drill HolesDrill Holes with Intercepts >+3g/tSuccess Rate (%)June 22, 2026-O'Brien55100%June 22, 2026-Thompson-Cadillac2150%June 1, 20267686%April 30, 2026-O'Brien77100%April 30, 2026-Thompson-Cadillac9222%January 27, 202677100%January 6, 20266583%October 28, 2025151387%September 8, 2025151387%July 16, 2025141179%April 2, 202533100%February 26, 2025201575%December 16, 202411100%Total1118980% Gold Mineralization at O'BrienGold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness and are associated with broader, mineralized alteration envelopes. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths. The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well-developed vein mineralization below and to the east of the historic mine. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focussed on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.Figure 4: Drill hole OB-26-378W3 Demonstrating Multiple Quartz-Sulphide-Gold Veins and Associated Alteration Envelops in at Least Five Zones, and Continuity with the 2026 MRE Block ModelTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/302302_60ef4c31e4b239a7_005full.jpgIn today's results, drill hole OB-26-378W3 demonstrates very clearly multiple zones of classic, O'Brien style gold mineralization: relatively narrow but very high-grade quartz-sulphide veins contained within alteration envelopes typically exhibiting mineralization at lower grades (Figure 4). These mineralized zones show good continuity with the Project's model of parallel veins and associated mineral resources above, with veins typically showing southerly dips of 80 to 85 degrees. In drill hole OB-26-378W3, a detailed presentation of grade distribution demonstrates that some of the alteration envelopes enclosing the high-grade veins show gold mineralization with grades above a nominal 1 g/t Au bottom cut-off (consistent with the calculation of intercepts in Table 3) and some alteration envelopes have grades below this cut-off or are unmineralized.In drill hole OB-26-378W3, this pattern of repeating, parallel veins and alteration envelopes form potential mining packages with true widths from approximately 1.5 metres to 5 metres. The Project's July 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (see Radisson news release dated July 9, 2025) utilized an average stope width of 2.7 metres after dilution and a 2.2 g/t Au bottom cut-off. Even allowing an increase in stope width and greater dilution to support potentially higher mining rates, each mineralized zone illustrated in Figure 4 has the potential to contribute mineable material in a future potential mine design.Table 3: Detailed Assay Results (see "Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts")To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/302302_radissontablethreepartone.jpgTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/302302_radissontablethreeparttwo.jpgTable 4: Drill Hole Collar Information for Holes contained in this News ReleaseTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/302302_radissontablefour.jpgNotes:Hole lengths for wedges represent meterage from point of wedge.QA/QCAll drill cores in this campaign are NQ in size.

OTTAWA, ON, June 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has filed the report on SEDAR+ for the upgraded mineral resource estimate ("MRE") on its 100%-owned Lac Tetepisca Project (the "Project") in Quebec. The Project lies within the Nitassinan (ancestral land) of the Pessamit Innu First Nation of Betsiamites, Quebec. The MRE was completed pursuant to the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").HighlightsOne of the largest identified graphite deposits globally: This new mineral resource estimate includes 120.2 million tonnes ("Mt") of Indicated resource at 10.27% graphitic carbon ("Cg") and 24.1 Mt of Inferred resource at 9.88% Cg, containing an estimated 14.7 Mt of in-situ graphite (see table below for additional details regarding the calculation of the MRE and the average Cg grades for the Inferred Mineral Resources and Indicated Mineral Resources).High-Grade Mineral Resources. Estimates were calculated based on a conservative 3.5% Cg cut-off grade and US$1,200 per tonne average selling price for the flake concentrate.Significant expansion potential through step-out and infill drilling to extend the deposit to the southwest and at greater depths, plus drill testing of numerous other geophysical anomalies.Novel, low-cost AI enabled in situ graphite flake characterization technology expected to be incorporated into a future MOGC mineral resource update.Acid generation mitigation materials from the dolomitic marbles hanging wall are included in the resource shell. They could be used to mitigate acid generation from the tailings storage facility. Their acid buffering capacity is to be published in the upcoming months.There are no material changes in the updated report from the results disclosed on the Company's May 07, 2026 press release.IOS Geosciences Inc. ("IOS"), a leading Quebec-based geological consulting firm was retained to produce a mineral resource estimate update and prepare a technical report (the "Technical Report"). The Technical Report is available on the Company's website and on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at http://www.sedarplus.ca.The MRE update was completed by IOS, using results from 150 drill holes totalling 26,095 metres, and including 2022 campaign results recently reported and totalling 9,628 metres from 44 drill holes.The MRE update for the Project is based on 150 inclined and sub-vertical diamond drill holes performed between 2014 and 2022 on the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor ("MOGC") and South-West MOGC ("SW-MOGC") graphite prospect, totalling of 26,095 metres. Focus discovered the MOGC prospect in July 2012 while conducting reconnaissance geological mapping, prospecting, and trenching on the Property. The MOGC is defined by a 2-kilometre linear Magnetic (MAG) and Electromagnetic (EM) anomaly that trends N035°. Drilling was conducted on a 1.5 km long segment of the MOGC following 300 m long drilling lines oriented N305° and spaced 100 m, 50 m, or 25 m apart.Table 1: Mineral Resources (at 3.5% Cg Cut-Off) - MOGC, Lac Tetepisca ProjectMineral Resource CategoryTonnes (kt)Graphitic Carbon (%)In-Situ Graphite (kt)Measured*---Indicated*120,16310.2712,345Total Measured and Indicated*120,16310.2712,345Inferred*24,1439.882,386 * See notes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15NotesThese mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. The MRE follows current CIM Definition Standards (2014) and CIM MRMR Best Practice Guidelines (2019). A technical report supporting the MRE will be filed within 45 days in accordance with NI 43-101. The results are presented undiluted and are considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction ("RPEEE").The independent and qualified persons ("QPs") for the mineral resource estimate, as defined in NI 43-101, are Jean-Michel Dubé, P.Geo. from IOS Geosciences and Alexandre Burelle, P.Eng., from Evomine Consulting. The effective date is April 30th, 2026.The estimate includes four (5) variably mineralized domains and one (1) dilution envelope modeled using LeapFrog Geo and interpolated using LeapFrog Edge. 2.0 m composites were calculated within the mineralized zones using the grade of the adjacent material when assayed or a value of zero when not assayed. High-grade capping on composites (supported by statistical analysis) was set at 27% Cg in the MOGC zone and 8.5% Cg in the SW-MOGC zone. Outlier capping restriction was set at 16% Cg for composites in the MOGC zone that are situated further than 50% the maximum interpolation distances.The estimate was completed using a rotated block model (N030°) in Leapfrog Edge, with a parent block size of 5m x 10m x 5m (X, Y, Z) and a sub-block size of 2.5m x 5m x 2.5m (X, Y, Z).Grade interpolation was obtained by Inverse Distance Squared (ID2) methodology using hard boundaries. Density values are interpolated and blocks that are not interpolated were assigned their lithology average value.Mineral resources were classified as Indicated and Inferred. Indicated resources are defined with a minimum of three (3) drill holes in areas where the closest composite is situated less than 90 m away from the block centroid and Inferred resources with two (2) drill holes in areas where the closest composite is situated less than 135 m away from block centroids and there is reasonable geological and grade continuity.It is the QP's opinion that the current classification used is adequate and reliable for this ‎type of mineralization and mineral resource estimate.‎The MRE is pit constrained. There are no out-pit resources meeting the RPEEE requirement.The RPEEE requirement is satisfied by applying a cut-off grade based on reasonable economic parameters and constraining volumes. The potential open pit (OP) of the 2026 MRE is locally constrained by a surface optimized with the pseudo-flow algorithm in Deswik using a cut-off grade of 3.5%Cg. The following parameters were considered: mining cost = CA$6.00/t mined; processing cost = CA$35.00/t processed; G&A cost = CA$10.00/t processed; concentrate transportation cost = CA$200/t conc.; Cg Price = US$1,200/t conc.; CAD/USD exchange rate = 1.38; overburden slope angle = 25°; rock slope angle = 50°; concentrator recovery = 86.6%, concentrate grade = 96.4%.The number of metric tonnes was rounded to the nearest thousand, following the recommendations in NI 43-101. The metal contents are presented in tonnes (tonnes x grade) rounded to the nearest thousand. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects.The QPs are not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, or marketing issues or any other relevant issue not reported in the Technical Report that could materially affect the Mineral Resources Estimate.No mineral reserves have been established for the Lac Tetepisca Project."This updated resource estimate represents a major milestone for Focus Graphite and further validates Lac Tetepisca as one of the largest identified graphite deposits globally," said Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite. "With approximately 14.7 million tonnes of contained in-situ graphite, the Project combines exceptional scale with a high-grade resource profile and remains open for expansion both along strike and at depth. The current resource is based on only a portion of the broader mineralized system, highlighting the significant opportunity for future growth through additional exploration and resource definition.With this important resource update now complete, our focus will shift toward advancing metallurgical optimization, process flowsheet development, and engineering studies designed to further unlock and quantify the value of the Project. We believe these initiatives will help position Lac Tetepisca for advancement toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment over the coming year and further demonstrate its potential to become a strategically important source of graphite supply for North America and its allies."Next StepsWith the updated MRE now complete, Focus intends to advance the next phase of technical development at Lac Tetepisca, including metallurgical optimization, process flowsheet development, and engineering studies. These initiatives are expected to support advancement toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") and help quantify the economic potential of one of the largest identified graphite deposits globally. Together with the Company's Lac Knife Project and downstream technology initiatives, Lac Tetepisca forms a key component of Focus' strategy to build an integrated Canadian graphite and advanced materials platform serving North American and allied supply chains.Qualified PersonThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Rejean Girard, P.Geo (Qc), President of IOS Geosciences Inc., a consultant to the Company, and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument NI 43-101.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc.

MUMBAI, INDIA, June 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PT Wibmo Services Indonesia, the Indonesian entity of Wibmo, a leading provider of payment security solutions today shared details of Wibmo Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant (ARIA), an AI-powered platform unveiled by Wibmo at its flagship industry event, 'Securing Digital Payments: Innovation, Intelligence & Trust,' held in Mumbai, India.Unveiling ARIA in Mumbai: Wibmo's Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant brings the power of AI to fraud, AML, KYC, and dispute operationsUnveiling ARIA in Mumbai: Wibmo's Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant brings the power of AI to fraud, AML, KYC, and dispute operationsARIA is designed to support risk teams at banks and PSPs, combining AI-driven analysis with human decision-making and accountability. This is highly relevant now, as digital payment fraud challenges becoming increasingly complex. With the sustained growth in the payments ecosystem, financial institutions are focused on improving operational risk efficiency while maintaining strong governance and oversight.Early modelling shows ARIA achieving over 70% reduction in investigation time through agents acting in real-time, enabling teams to process significantly more cases per FTE per day. ARIA targets delivering recommendation accuracy close to 90%, designed to improve quality metrics across risk operations teams.ARIA represents a fundamental shift in how financial institutions approach risk operations by introducing specialized AI agents that support data aggregation, analysis, and draft recommendations, while preserving human decision-making authority and governance controls at every critical juncture.ARIA combines capabilities across investigation, decision support, and operational actioning. The platform gathers signals from transactions, risk models, customer and merchant history, linked transactions, and historical fraud patterns to automate data aggregation that typically consumes significant analyst bandwidth. Using frontier AI models, ARIA generates evidence-referenced verdicts, identifies emerging patterns through multi-signal reasoning, and provides transparent, auditable recommendations. The platform also enables SOP-driven resolutions, customer and merchant communications, reduction of false alerts, and proactive defence mechanisms against emerging anomalies.Shailesh Paul, CEO, Wibmo, said, “As fraud becomes more sophisticated and regulatory expectations continue to evolve, risk operations teams must manage growing complexity with limited resources. ARIA is designed to help institutions scale intelligently by combining the speed and analytical capabilities of AI with the judgment, oversight, and accountability of human expertise. While AI agents assist with data analysis and recommendations, every critical decision continues to remain firmly under human control."Unlike fully autonomous AI systems, Wibmo's Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant is built with a governance-first architecture designed for enterprise financial institutions. Every recommendation continues to flow through existing approval mechanisms without autonomous production actions, while all analyses are supported by transparent reasoning chains and comprehensive audit trails. The platform brings together specialized agents across fraud, AML, KYC, and disputes within a unified framework, alongside replayable audits and complete operational provenance for every agent action.The launch event brought together more than 50 senior leaders from banks, fintechs, payment networks, and technology organizations to discuss evolving challenges in digital payment security and the future of AI-led fraud prevention. Speakers from PayU, NPCI Bharat Billpay, Visa, Mastercard, Flipkart, CSB Bank, Jio Payment Solutions, and Network International participated in discussions around acquiring fraud risk management, authentication technologies, and risk-based decisioning.About WibmoWibmo, a fully owned subsidiary of PayU, headquartered in Cupertino, USA, is a global full-stack PayTech leader with over two decades of expertise in Payment Security and Digital Payments.
