The licences are included within two earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (AngloGold Ashanti).HIGHLIGHTS Upgrading of two Nevertire South porphyry complexes for continued step out, infill and down dip drilling: 2026 activities upgraded two large composite volcanic-intrusive complexes within the wider Nevertire Magmatic Complex with copper and gold grades suggestive of proximity to porphyry system centres. Both are priorities for follow up drilling.Four scout holes drilled, four potential new complexes at the southern strike of Nevertire South: New province-scale potential supported with four scout holes providing continuity of the volcanics and intrusions in a wider north-south belt. Prospective strike >40km.Scout drilling resumed at Nyngan: Five to eight planned holes across two targets with drilling ongoing (the Ace of Spades and Gerar targets).Strong partnership and commercial alignment: The Nyngan and Nevertire South licences form part of two earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti. AngloGold Ashanti has the right to invest up to A$100 million across a total of five adjacent licences within Kincora's NJNB portfolio, covering a continuous strike greater than 100km. Kincora currently manages the programs and receives a 10% management fee on expenditures.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented:"Drilling at Nevertire South this year has advanced our discovery of new Macquarie Arc porphyry copper-gold mineralisation. The results of highly anomalous copper associated with porphyry veining in hole NEDD011 confirm this. These could be the discovery indicators of a large porphyry system centred laterally or deeper.In parallel, initial scout drilling across the wider licence provides continuation of the volcanic and intrusive units interpreted to be similar to the Nevertire Magmatic Complex. This supports our thesis that the Macquarie Arc continues across a prospective strike of more than 40 kilometres and provides the potential for multiple large new porphyry system complexes.Large intrusive complexes within world-class porphyry belts can host multiple deposits. To have established this scale of opportunity within the first year of drilling at Nevertire South is a significant outcome and provides multiple high-priority opportunities for follow-up drilling."NEVERTIRE AND NEVERTIRE SOUTH PROJECTSKincora has two earn-in and joint ventures with AngloGold Ashanti covering a continuous strike of greater than 100km, including five licences (Nevertire, Nevertire South, Nyngan, Nyngan South and Mulla licences), within the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc.Figure 1: Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti have partnered to explore new district-scale undercover extensions of the world-class Macquarie Arc in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt via two earn-in and joint venture agreements, currently aggressively drilling large greenfield targets Kincora has a portfolio of seven projects in NSW, including managing two earn-in programs with AngloGold Ashanti, receiving a 10% management fee on expenditures, and covering a continuous 100km strike across 5 adjacent licencesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/315359_fig%201.jpgTarget Specific Drilling at NevertireFollowing the April 2025 amended and second earn-in agreement with AngloGold Ashanti 1, a first phase drilling program commenced at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South licences in 2H'2025.The program benefited from unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km wide Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) and was designed to follow up two prior favourable drill results historically reported by Newcrest Mining and the most northern drilled holes at the NMC.Newcrest holes ACDNY005 and ACDNY006 were drilled ~2.7km apart, in the central portion of the NMC, and returned "lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 2. Kincora's relogging of these holes, led by technical director John Holliday, supported this interpretation.Figure 2: Positive results at Nevertire South support new province-scale potential intersecting multiple interpreted new intrusive system complexes to the south with scout recommenced at the Nyngan licence To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/315359_figure%202.jpgKincora drilling commenced in 3Q'2025 and has focused on: (i) following up the prior Newcrest holes; and, (ii) geophysics followed by scout drilling across the southern strike seeking to confirm Macquarie Arc rocks.To date, 24 holes for 10,379.7 metres have utilised cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the relatively soft post mineral cover sequence, followed by NQ3 diamond core drilling of the porphyry-prospective basement. All holes intersected basement and are interpreted to have returned Macquarie Arc rocks.Drill results have been very encouraging, providing strong vectors, upgrading the immediate target zone, supporting Newcrest's previous interpretation and reaffirming the Company's view that the NMC is the most geologically prospective porphyry project in the northern covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc.Favourable alteration and porphyry-style veining was observed in 2025 drilling, with copper, gold and pathfinder element geochemistry. Drilling in 2026 has returned often higher grades and broader intervals; upgrading two interpreted separate intrusive systems within the wider NMC for follow up drilling with vectors suggestive of increasing proximity to a porphyry system centres (see Figure 6). The results of highly anomalous copper associated with porphyry veining in hole NEDD011 are particularly noteworthy and could be the discovery indicators of a large porphyry system centred laterally or deeper.Further step out drilling is proposed, before infill and deeper drilling, see Figures 4-6. Figure 7 includes photos of select core and further description on the northern and southern interpreted complexes within the larger NMC, including NEDD011.Figure 3: 2025/26 drilling reaffirm Kincora's view that the NMC is the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc offering multiple discovery potential To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/315359_figure%203.jpgAdvancing New Macquarie Arc Porphyry Complexes As previously announced, following encouraging initial visual observations, follow-up geophysical surveys commenced in 2H'2025, together with a review of prior explorer drilling results and ground gravity survey data 3.A gravity survey covering ~110km² was completed and integrated with legacy gravity data-sets, totaling ~148km², acquired by prior explorers. A further survey of ~32km² is scheduled for late September expanding the infill coverage to the north-west and into the Nevertire licence.Four scout holes were since completed by Kincora across a 15km strike, the closest being over 20km from the nearest drill hole of Newcrest's, testing the southern section of the Nevertire South licence along the wider north-south trending magnetic anomaly. All are interpreted to have intersected Macquarie Arc rocks (confirmationary lithogeochemistry and age dating pending).These activities have resulted in a material increase in the prospective search space across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licences, supporting a total prospective strike of greater than 40km, representing a greater than 5x increase relative to the drill strike extent across the wider NMC which in itself hosts two target systems - see Figure 4.Kincora is working with AngloGold Ashanti to plan a systematic exploration approach for the 2027 field season to advance this new potentially province-scale opportunity at Nevertire. This work includes, among other elements, acquisition of ground gravity data to assist in defining potential intrusions within the volcanic host rocks (Figure 3), and, defining and ranking distinct packages and domains with appropriate programs to advance this large-scale pipeline. In the meantime, scout drilling has recommenced and is ongoing at the Nyngan project.Figure 4: Drilling in the northern section of Nevertire South has returned highly encouraging results across two interpreted new intrusive system complexes Plan view of drilling since 2H'2025, with the corresponding cross and long sections provided in Figures 5 & 6. Results are consistent with Newcrest's prior interpretation that the project hosts lithologies, alteration and veining characteristic of a setting comparable to Macquarie Arc porphyry systems such as Cadia-Ridgeway and Northparkes 4To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/315359_figure%204.jpgFigure 5: Following significant encouragement from hole NEDD011 in the Northern Nevertire Magmatic Complex, initial step out drilling has targeted ~300-metre spacing.

Drilling by Kincora has returned encouraging copper and gold assay results, together with lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with this conceptual framework, supporting its relevance 4.Figure 7: Vectors for step-out, infill and down dipping drilling at the Northern and Southern Nevertire Magmatic ComplexesDetailed core photography of selected portions of 2026 drilling, showing a range of mineralisation and alteration types from mineralised intervals within the middle-northern section of the Nevertire South licenceTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/315359_figure%206.jpgSee Tables 1-4 for additional geological descriptions, peak and significant assay resultsNorthern Nevertire Magmatic Complex Follow up drilling is proposed at the intrusive complex interpreted to host holes NEDD007, NEDD011, NEDD013, NEDD014 and ACDNY006, amongst others. The confirmed Phase 4 age complex has returned broad and localised higher-grade copper, gold, molybdenum with strong pathfinders. Of particular note was hole NEDD011 which intersected increasing intrusive complexity (monzonite porphyry, diorite, breccias) and the appearance of B-type quartz veins with centreline magnetite ± chalcopyrite and locally elevated pyrite (observations of ~10-15%) mark the transition into a more prospective porphyry environment. The last hundred metres of the hole returned intensified veining, aplite dykes, brecciation, and patchy K-feldspar/hematite ± possible biotite alteration, with trace chalcopyrite and minor molybdenum/zinc indications, representing developing interpreted potassic vectors. The progressive increase in vein density, sulphide, magnetic response and intrusive intensity downhole suggests the hole may be vectoring toward a deeper porphyry (mineralised) core not yet intersected.Following the encouragement of NEDD011, and subtle finger intrusions towards the end of hole in NEDD011 and NEDD007, initial step out drilling targeting a 300-metre search space was undertaken. Given returned assay results coupled with encouraging geological observations, including (local) increase in trace molybdenite-bornite±covellite. Further step out drilling is proposed, before infill and deeper drilling at this complex.Image 1.

The confirmed Phase 4 age complex has returned broad and localised higher-grade copper and gold, with strong pathfinders. Secondary biotite-actinolite, disseminated magnetite, quartz-chalcopyrite veining (with localised stockwork) and sulphide-bearing epidote veins, together with a chalcopyrite over pyrite sulphide ratio, and trace bornite and molybdenum, is interpreted as being diagnostic of inner-propylitic to potassic transitional positions in zoned porphyry copper-gold systems.Mineralised B-veining, together with quartz monzonite porphyry fingers, pebble dykes, intense quartz-sericite-pyrite and K-feldspar alteration, crackle breccias, trace bornite provides further encouragement. Such features provide vectors to an interpreted proximal lateral or down dip causative intrusive centre and potential core.Image 15.

The district has seen considerable exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 6 and an emerging gold discovery by Waratah Resources at the Spur project 7 and LinQ Minerals at the southern zone of the Gilmore project 8.Despite regional magnetics effectively mapping the Macquarie Arc volcanic belts, due to the post mineral cover, there has been very limited prior drilling of the extensions of both the Junee-Narromine and Molong volcanic belts relative to the southern more outcropping sections which hosts a number of world-class deposits and mines (e.g. Cadia, Cowal and Northparkes).Kincora's portfolio and the wider NJNB offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with magnetics, gravity and new Ambient Noise Tomography surveys, supportive of large-scale targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern section of the Arc. To date over A$30 million of exploration supports this geological interpretation.In 2Q'2025, AngloGold Ashanti signed a major amendment with Kincora to include a second joint venture supporting a continuous strike greater than 100km and five licences. To date Kincora has drilled a total of 43 holes for 17,620 metres in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti across three licences.About KincoraKincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused gold-copper explorer with a hybrid project generator strategy.The Company is successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Lachlan Fold Belt, one of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar basin in NSW.The Company has already unlocked over A$100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects. These initial deals have supported over 20,000 metres of drilling and over A$10m of partner funded exploration since late 2024, with management fees and exploration ramping up.Various partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship and advanced exploration stage porphyry projects.By having a significant portfolio of partner funded large porphyry projects, and a very focused capital efficient programs at the Condobolin and other sole funded projects, the Company is seeking to position Kincora as a leading institutional grade explorer in the public Australian and Canadian markets, and the leading project generator on the ASX.The Company's website is: www.kincoracopper.com Kincora is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information as disclosed to the originally sighted references:1 Kincora press release Apr 14, 2025, "Second Major Earn-in Secured with AngloGold Ashanti"2 Open file annual report for former EL6337 by Newcrest Mining 20083 Kincora press releases Aug 25, 2025, "Positive drilling results at two Northern Junee-Narromine Belt projects", and, February 10, 2026, "Exploration Expands And Upgrades Nevertire With Drilling Recommenced"4 Information disclosed for Cadia-Ridgeway is not necessarily indicative for the NMC or other deposits/systems in the Macquarie Arc but provided to illustrate the generally discrete alteration and mineralisation footprints of Macquarie Arc "pencil" or "finger" porphyry systems.

HONG KONG, Sept 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Direct Drive Tech Limited (the “Company”) launched its public offering on September 21 and is seeking a Main Board listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under Chapter 18C of the Listing Rules. Once the offering closes, the Company will become the “first direct-drive stock” in Hong Kong — and the first robotics technology company in global capital markets defined primarily by direct-drive technology. The market isn’t just watching a single listing; it may be watching an industry inflection point, as robot drive solutions shift from traditional reducers toward direct drive — a transition one young team is betting on to upend the established landscape.According to public records, founder Zhang Di earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2016 before moving to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he studied robotics systems and control engineering under Professor Li Zexiang — widely known as the “godfather of DJI.” His engineering instincts showed early: while at HKUST, he reportedly designed on his own a robot capable of standing both upright and upside down, and sold it to a research institution. Zhang has served as chairman and chief executive since March 2020, overseeing the Group’s overall management, strategic planning, and business decisions.Zhang founded the Company in 2020 at XbotPark, a robotics incubator in Songshan Lake, Dongguan. The Songshan Lake Robotics Research Institute, controlled by Professor Li, invested at the seed round, when the post-money valuation stood at just a few million renminbi; by the final round before the IPO, the valuation had climbed substantially. Now 32, Zhang has been named to both the Forbes China 30 Under 30 and the Hurun China Under 30 lists.Conventional robot drives pair a motor with a reducer: gears step down rotational speed and multiply torque, which suits high-load, high-impact duty. But every meshing gear introduces backlash and friction — heat, wear, and maintenance costs. Every multi-stage transmission adds response lag, energy loss, and precision drift. These are not process defects; they are structural limits baked into the gear-transmission path. And every reducer weakness maps to a direct-drive strength. As embodied intelligence begins demanding millisecond response, zero backlash, lower energy consumption, and longer service life, reducer-based solutions have hit a ceiling that iteration cannot break. This is not an upgrade; it is substitution.Since its founding, the Company has stayed on the direct-drive path, building its moat on three core technology pillars. By coupling the motor directly to the payload, its solution eliminates reducers and every intermediate transmission component. According to the prospectus, this cuts efficiency losses from mechanical transmission while improving precision, lowering noise, and reducing component wear — and it paves the way for smaller, lighter robots. This is no localized tweak to an existing design; it is a rebuild of the power-transmission path itself. The Company has built core capabilities around direct-drive motor design, thermal management, and drive-control integration — system-level know-how spanning electromagnetic design, control algorithms, and mass production. Zero backlash, zero friction, millisecond response: capabilities conventional solutions structurally cannot deliver are, in principle, within reach through direct drive. Iterating on the old technology cannot close that gap.The financials tell more than a revenue story — they trace how direct drive moved from technical validation to commercialization at scale. From 2023 to 2025, revenue rose from RMB17.5 million to RMB281.7 million, a 300.8% CAGR, as shipments of direct-drive actuator modules climbed from 0.2 million to 8.5 million units. Gross margin improved from 13.5% to 21.5%, reaching 20.7% in the first half of 2026, while the adjusted net loss margin narrowed from 349.1% to 15.4% — 13.7% in the first half of 2026. This is scale economics kicking in: a larger revenue base absorbing fixed costs, not R&D cuts, is what has narrowed the losses. It is not just one company’s growth curve; it is a substitution curve, a technology pathway moving from the margins toward the mainstream.Valuation is where Chapter 18C really matters. The Specialist Technology Company regime lets the market assess high-growth hard-tech companies on R&D capabilities, patent reserves, commercialization track record, commercialization revenue, and downstream customer validation — not net profit alone. That framework fits a company trying to change an industry’s underlying technology pathway. Traditional valuation systems revolve around net profit, and they struggle to price a technology like direct drive that is redrawing a century-old industry. Chapter 18C lets the market price “technology substitution” rather than short-term profitability.The technology pathway for global robot drives is still being written, but direct drive displacing reducers is getting harder to ignore. As the “first direct-drive stock,” the Company’s scarcity value lies in using direct drive to redraw the boundaries of the robot actuation market — giving investors a window into the rise of power hardware for physical AI. Direct-drive penetration in consumer robotics remains low, and the shift away from reducer-based solutions is still in its early days; the market has yet to fully price the trend. As direct drive finds its way into more applications, that revaluation has only just begun. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com

SAN DIEGO, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) congratulates the U.S. Air Force (USAF) on the pace of progress for its Collaborative Combat Aircraft program, which features the FQ-42 Vengeance designed and produced by GA-ASI. The latest milestone took place Sept. 18, when a new FQ-42 Vengeance was delivered to Creech AFB, Nev., to continue operations with test and evaluation units."The CCA program's rate of progress has been incredible," said Mike Atwood, GA-ASI Vice President of Advanced Programs. "Every week, the Air Force is pushing forward with new and more impressive accomplishments using Vengeance. It's amazing to think of how far this program has come in such a short amount of time."The FQ-42 that arrived at Creech will continue regular test and evaluation operations with the Air Force aimed at experimentation with the new aircraft. Previous efforts with Vengeance and other GA-ASI jets, including XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station and MQ-20 Avenger® - have found the trio of combat jets flying in various scenarios that push the boundaries of combat aviation. GA-ASI's jets have flown semi-autonomously and autonomously with various AI pilots and under collaborative control of human fighter pilots operating F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II jets.FQ-42 Vengeance, a 5th-generation uncrewed fighter with an internal weapons bay and other features designed for low observability and increased survivability, has flown formation flights alongside F-35 and F-15E Strike Eagle in preparation for collaborative control operations with manned aircraft. Those experiments will replicate company demonstrations previously flown by GA-ASI using MQ-20 as a CCA surrogate to advance CCA operations in parallel to the primary U.S. Air Force development program.GA-ASI was selected by USAF in April 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. FQ-42 Vengeance made its maiden flight in August 2025 and was selected in June 2026 for an initial production contract. GA-ASI has completed a new low-observable paint facility to support CCA production, and the company is currently positioned to deliver six aircraft per month to meet USAF goals, with more manufacturing space available to respond to additional orders.Production of FQ-42 Vengeance is underway on company investment as government funding plans mature, with GA-ASI continuing its longstanding tradition of working at-risk with its own funds to support U.S. procurement planning and prevent delays in delivery. GA-ASI plans to build multiple fighters for its own company aircraft fleet, to invest in inventing new technologies that reduce risk and increase capabilities for its global customers.XQ-67A and FQ-42 represent two customer-delivered examples of GA-ASI's Gambit Series of next-generation combat jets. The modular design of the Gambit Series enables rapid integration of new systems, weapons and autonomy software, allowing customers to quickly pivot the platform to new missions without significant redesign.GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. Avenger has been used extensively by GA-ASI as a test bed aircraft for CCA development. The company's XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station jet, developed in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory, is a cutting-edge model for autonomous collaborative platforms with advanced airborne sensing and served as a flying prototype for the FQ-42 Vengeance program.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®, XQ-67A, and FQ-42A.

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of eight new drill holes recently completed at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The eight holes form part of two clusters of drill holes based on pilot holes and wedge branches that are serving to delineate an important system of high-grade mineralization in multiple quartz-sulphide-gold veins over a now 1,000-metre vertical interval beneath the former O'Brien Gold Mine. These results are the latest from the Company's ongoing 140,000-metre step-out drill program designed to test the full scope of gold mineralization at the Project.All eight drill holes reported today returned significant gold mineralization. Highlights (Figure 1 and Table 1) include:OB-26-385W5 intersected 68.24 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 6.20 metres (core lengths) including 384.01 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and including 28.68 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (residual intercept grade of 2.48 g/t Au);OB-26-385W8 intersected 27.27 g/t Au over 3.3 metres including 72.40 g/t Au over 1.2 metres (residual intercept grade of 1.49 g/t Au), and 3.90 g/t Au over 9.3 metres including 6.10 g/t Au over 2.0 metres and including 5.78 g/t Au over 1.2 metres (residual intercept grade of 2.81 g/t Au), and 8.35 g/t Au over 4.0 metres including 16.10 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (residual intercept grade of 3.7 g/t Au);OB-25-378W4 intersected 8.14 g/t Au over 5.50 metres including 11.52 g/t Au over 3.70 metres (residual intercept grade of 1.19 g/t Au);OB-26-385W7 intersected 18.13 g/t Au over 2.0 metres including 34.91 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (residual intercept grade of 1.35 g/t Au); andOB-25-378W5 intersected 3.90 g/t Au over 9.3 metres including 16.84 g/t Au over 1.4 metres (residual intercept grade of 1.60 g/t Au) and 4.00 g/t Au over 4.60 metres.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "Since the beginning of our deep step-out drilling program at O'Brien in late 2024, we have enjoyed consistent success in expanding the scope of mineralization beyond the former mine and the historical mineral resources. Of the 128 drill holes completed during this period,106 have returned drill intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with our mineral resources. This is an impressive 83% "hit" rate (Table 2), and we report every hole completed. We continue to see a consistent pattern of high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold veins within broader, mineralized alteration halos. These mineralized zones form parallel vein packages within the host Piché Group rocks, with good continuity across adjacent drill holes and over significant distances. The two clusters of new drill results reported today are delineating the important "O'Brien Mine East" trend at its top, immediately below the former mine workings, and extending it downwards at up to 2 kilometres vertical depth. In our reporting of drill results, as with today's news, we show the grade of the full interval across the mineralized zone (in core lengths at a 1 g/t Au bottom cut-off) and the "including" interval representing the high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold vein within the zone. The intercept's residual grade, which represents grade in the alteration halo, is typically between 1 g/t Au and 4 g/t Au. These patterns are all demonstrated reliably in today's results. O'Brien is clearly a large scale and increasingly predictable gold mineralizing system. Drilling is ongoing with eight rigs active at the Project."Figure 1: Longitudinal Vertical Section and Plan View of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Today's Drill Holes IllustratedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_f60ab4e7747e2ba4_001full.jpgGold 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 focused on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.Figure 2: Visible gold in OB-26-385W5 yielding 384.01 g/t Au over 1.0 metre between 1,514.2 metres and 1,515.2 metres, within a broader intercept averaging 68.24 g/t Au over 6.2 Metres between 1,511 metres and 1,517.2 metresTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissonenfiguretwo.jpgTable 1: Assay Results Calculated at a 3 g/t Au Bottom Cut-Off from Drill Holes Published TodayTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_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 cut-off, 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 Au bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed. Lithology Codes: PON-S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate and Greywackes; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone.Step-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the extent of gold mineralization at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency and minimize costs. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing eight drill rigs (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025).The origin of the step-out drill program was the deep pilot hole OB-24-337, which was the first exploration drill hole located below the former mine workings since mining ended in 1957. This hole intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 m 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 in what is referred to as "O'Brien Mine East" (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. Drilling has recently confirmed the extension of the "Trend 1" zone of mineralization to 1.9 kilometres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026).In 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. Positive drill results have recently been reported from the "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap" at approximately 500 and 1,000 metres vertical depth, demonstrating continuity of mineralization across what were previously thought to be discrete mineralization trends (see Radisson news release dated June 1, 2026 and September 2, 2026).The eight new drill holes at the Project reported today continue to demonstrate the very high incidence of intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources ("hits", per Table 2). This now stands at 83% of all drill holes completed to date, an impressive result for a step-out drill program specifically targeting non-resource areas (Figure 4). Mineralization remains open in every direction, with clear opportunities to expand the quantity of new mineral resources, in particular by drilling at depth.Figure 3: Vertical Section Through "O'Brien Mine East" with Today's New Drill ResultsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissonfigurethree.jpgFigure 4: Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company Since March 2026To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_f60ab4e7747e2ba4_008full.jpgTable 2: Drill Results Published for the O'Brien Gold Project Since December 2024Date of PublicationTotal Number ofDrill HolesDrill Holes withIntercepts >+3g/tSuccessRate (%)September 21, 202688100%September 2, 202666100%July 7, 202633100%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%Total12810683% Table 3: Detailed Assay Results Calculated at a 1 g/t Au Bottom Cut-Off from Drill Holes Published Today (see "Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts")To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablethree.jpgTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablethreeb.jpgTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablethreec.jpgTable 4: Drill Hole Collar Information for Drill Holes Published TodayTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablefour.jpgNotes: Hole lengths for wedges represent meterage from point of wedge. Collar position is reported for pilot hole.QA/QCAll drill core in this campaign is NQ in size. Assays were completed on sawn half-core, with the second half retained in the core box for future reference. Geologists mark cut lines on the core perpendicular to the foliation. The half on the right side of the saw blade is bagged for the laboratory and the left half is retained as reference. Sample bags are sealed, placed in rice sacks, plastic-wrapped on pallets, and held in a secure facility until pick-up by the laboratory's dedicated truck.Samples are delivered to MSALABS' analytical laboratory in Val-d'Or, Québec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried and crushed (70% passing a 2-millimetre sieve) and split to 500 g. Gold analysis is performed on an approximately 500 g aliquot (a single jar) using Chrysos PhotonAssay technology. Mineralized zones containing visible gold, plus additional intervals selected at the discretion of the logging geologist, are analyzed to extinction, whereby the entire sample is split into multiple ~500 g jars, each jar is analyzed by PhotonAssay, and the weighted average of the results is used for reporting. A one-metre sample typically requires five jars.Certified reference materials (CRMs), blank samples, and reject duplicates are inserted for quality assurance and quality control. Either a CRM, a blank, or a duplicate is inserted during regular sampling at a rate of 1 per 25 samples, with the insertion rate increased for intervals selected for assay to extinction. Four different CRMs are in use with an appropriate range of certified grades suited for O'Brien mineralization. Jars of CRM material are stored at the laboratory and inserted into the sample stream as directed by Radisson. The CRMs were selected by Radisson in accordance with Chrysos Corporation's best-practice guidelines for PhotonAssay. Blanks consist of commercially obtained crushed quartzite known to be barren of gold. Samples returning results greater than 1 g/t Au are also fire assayed.MSALABS operates under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, utilizing industry-standard QA/QC frameworks for gold analysis. Through the integration of blanks, duplicates, and CRMs into its workflow, the laboratory adheres to established benchmarks that ensure precise, reliable, and verifiable results.QP DisclosureDisclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Richard Nieminen, P.Geo, (QC), a geological consultant for Radisson and a Qualified Person for purposes of NI 43-101.

HONG KONG, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CTF Life today launched Sky Leap 88 Savings Insurance Plan (the “Plan”), a comprehensive wealth management solution integrating wealth accumulation, flexible asset allocation and intergenerational legacy planning. Featuring dual 8% enhancement advantages^, the Plan offers customers greater potential for wealth accumulation and value enhancement. By attaching the “Value Enhance Option”1 and prepaying the basic plan premium in full, customers can enjoy a limited-time first-year premium discount of at least 8% and up to 10%*. The option also enhances the Total Policy Value and shortens both the Guaranteed Breakeven Period and Projected Breakeven Period by one year#, helping customers reach breakeven sooner. The Plan also incorporates a range of distinctive product features and policy services, including the special-in-market2 8% “Legacy Compassion Benefit”3, “Wealth Accumulation Switching Option”4, “Policy Split Option”5, “Flexible policy value withdrawal arrangements” and “Life Event Option”6. Together, these product features and services help customers accumulate wealth steadily, manage asset allocation and policy value withdrawals, and plan their legacy with greater flexibility, enabling both wealth and care to be passed on to the next generations.The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau noted in the Secretary’s Blog that US$83 trillion in private wealth is expected to be transferred across generations globally over the next two to three decades7. As wealth succession today goes beyond asset allocation, CTF Life is launching Sky Leap 88 Savings Insurance Plan to help customers address both wealth accumulation and legacy-planning needs.Betty Lee, Chief Product Officer of CTF Life, said: “True legacy goes beyond preserving or passing on wealth. It is about entrusting the fruits of years of effort and our aspirations for future generations with confidence and care. That vision inspired the creation of Sky Leap 88. Backed by CTF Life’s prudent dividend philosophy and financial strength, the Plan helps customers balance wealth accumulation and preservation while laying a strong foundation for building a well-structured, long-term legacy roadmap for the generations to come.”She continued: “We firmly believe a policy proves its true value by consistently delivering on its promises. Even amid market volatility, we pursue long-term wealth growth potential for customers through prudent investment strategy, empowering them to pursue their life goals at every stage with greater confidence through our savings insurance plans. Reflecting this commitment, our three signature product series8 have achieved a 100% or more fulfilment ratio for ten consecutive years9. We also maintained a non-guaranteed accumulation interest rate of 4.25% p.a. on participating USD policies for 14 consecutive years10. These results demonstrate our consistency and reliability in delivering on return commitments to customers over the long term and embody our steadfast commitment to creating value beyond insurance.”Key features and policy services of the Plan include:1.“Value Enhance Option”1: By attaching the “Value Enhance Option”1 and prepaying the basic plan premium in full in advance, customers can enjoy a limited-time first-year premium discount of at least 8% and up to 10%*. The Guaranteed Cash Value and Total Policy Value will also be enhanced throughout the policy term. Compared with a policy under the regular premium payment mode without the “Value Enhance Option”1, it shortens both the Guaranteed Breakeven Period and Projected Breakeven Period by one year#, and can achieve a projected internal rate of return of 6.5% by the 20th Policy Year#, helping customers reach guaranteed breakeven sooner.2.“Wealth Accumulation Switching Option”4: Starting from the 10th policy anniversary, customers can flexibly choose the value ratio of “Stable Asset Account”11 through three special-in-market2 Switching Options with artisanal design (including “Advance”, “Balanced” and “Conservative”).

HONG KONG, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Duiba Group Limited (Stock Code: 01753.HK), the Hong Kong-listed operator that has become one of China's fastest-scaling AI short-drama platforms, announced that its controlling shareholder, Xiaoliang Holding Limited, has agreed to transfer 120,682,000 ordinary shares — approximately 11.21% of issued share capital — for nil consideration to Kewei Holding Limited, the Company's employee share award platform.The transfer, executed on 20 September 2026, is understood to be the largest founder-to-ESOP donation by percentage of share capital in the history of the Hong Kong stock market. It is not a disposal for cash. No shares are being sold into the market; all of them are being placed into a vehicle whose sole economic purpose is to reward and retain employees.Crucially, the arrangement is being funded entirely from the founder's personal shareholding. It involves no issuance of new shares and therefore no dilution to existing shareholders, and it consumes no company capital — no cash, no treasury reserves, no debt. The 120,682,000 shares are being transferred at nil consideration from the founder's own account to the employee incentive platform, meaning the cost of motivating and retaining the core team is borne by the founder, not by public investors or the Company's balance sheet.Six months of exponential growthThe transfer comes as Duiba's AI short-drama business enters a phase of compounding growth. On Douyin's native end, cumulative playback from June to August rose 178%. In July and August, Duiba ranked top three across the entire industry for two consecutive months, and was the only leading player to sustain month-on-month growth above 50% in both months.Seven years, zero founder sellingDuiba listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong on 7 May 2019. According to HKEX disclosure records, Mr. Chen Xiaoliang, the founder and controlling shareholder, voluntarily extended the post-IPO lock-up to three years at the time of listing and, from the IPO through the date of the transfer, has never reduced his personal beneficial shareholding.The 20 September arrangement is therefore the first change in the founder's ownership structure in the seven years since listing — and its direction is unambiguously inward."This is the clearest possible signal that the controlling shareholder is backing the next chapter of the business rather than exiting it," a Company spokesperson said. "The shares go to an ESOP vehicle, not to the market."After completion, Xiaoliang Holding will remain the controlling shareholder with approximately 31.01%, down from 42.21%. Kewei Holding, which currently holds only 0.17%, will hold approximately 11.38%.A war chest for AI talentKewei Holding has undertaken to introduce new incentive schemes with vesting and lock-up arrangements under the Company's equity incentive management measures. The stated focus is AI businesses, with AI short drama at the centre. Existing and future awards will be subject to service and performance conditions, aligning key employees with long-term shareholder value.The timing is deliberate. The AI short-drama sector is expanding rapidly, but hits remain scarce: fewer than 0.5% of new AI short dramas on Douyin surpass 100 million views. In that environment, the constraint on growth is not capital — it is the ability to retain writers, algorithm engineers, producers and commercialisation talent capable of turning AI tooling into repeatable hits.By moving roughly 11% of the Company into a locked-up, performance-vested incentive pool, Duiba is, in effect, converting founder ownership into collective engineering and creative capacity.The AI bet is already compoundingDuiba was founded in 2014, is headquartered in Hangzhou and listed on HKEX in May 2019. It built its early business on points-and-benefits SaaS and internet advertising, serving more than 16,000 enterprise clients. In late 2025 it moved strategically into AI short drama, building a full-stack pipeline spanning AI scriptwriting, AI production and AI distribution — what the Company describes as the industrialised, scaled monetisation of AI-generated content.Financials: revenue and gross profit rising in tandemThe Company's 2026 interim results show that the growth is reaching the income statement, not merely the traffic ledger.For the six months ended 30 June 2026:Metric1H2026ChangeTotal revenueRMB 434.7 million+24.3% YoYGross profitRMB 74.5 million+30.0% YoYGross margin17.1%16.4% (1H2025)Loss attributable to ownersRMB 25.3 millionnarrowedAI short-drama revenueRMB 222.6 million51.2% of group revenueThe Group's traditional SaaS and advertising operations contributed nearly RMB 70 million of gross profit in the first half and are expected to continue providing earnings support, while AI short drama has become the dominant revenue driver.Asset quality also appears intact. The Company reported net assets of RMB 1.175 billion, cash and short-term wealth management products of approximately RMB 400 million, and prepayments of RMB 345 million, largely related to the bank instant-discount business and recyclable into working capital.Why the transfer matters nowThree things make the move more than a symbolic gesture.First, it is structurally a gift, not a sale. The nil-consideration transfer means the founder receives no cash. For a controlling shareholder who has not sold a single share in seven years, the decision moves equity from a personal account to a collective one.Second, it arrives at a moment of operational inflection. Douyin rankings, view-count trajectories and the first-half revenue split all point in the same direction: AI short drama has become the core business, and locking talent into it via vesting and lock-ups addresses the binding constraint on its next phase.Third, it creates a credible incentive currency. An ESOP pool of roughly 11.38% is large enough to be material for hires and retention, yet structured with vesting and lock-ups that prevent it from becoming a short-term payout.The road ahead: overseas expansion and the short drama alliance business Duiba's second-half outlook rests on two tracks: AI short-drama expansion and a stable SaaS and advertising base.On the global front, the Company is accelerating its overseas push into a market it estimates at US$4 billion in 2026, up 390% year on year, with management expecting overseas operations to begin contributing revenue in the fourth quarter.Domestically, it is pursuing a strategy of the short drama alliance business,expanding to tens of thousands of app media clients via SDK access. Its distribution footprint extends beyond Toutiao and Hongguo to Tencent, Kuaishou, Baidu and more than 20 mid-tier platforms.This is not a founder exit. It is a founder-to-employee capital allocation: a seven-year holder converting personal ownership into collective incentive capacity at precisely the moment Duiba's AI short-drama business is compounding on both the view-count and income-statement lines.

HONG KONG, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines announced findings from a longitudinal study describing how paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) affects patients’ daily lives and quality of life in the periods between episodes. The findings are being presented in a moderated ePoster session titled “The Impact of PSVT on Patients’ Daily Life and QoL in Between Episodes”. Everest Medicines acquired the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize CARDAMYST(R) (etripamil), a treatment for acute PSVT episodes, in Greater China (including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) in March 2026.CARDAMYST(R) (etripamil) nasal spray is a novel, rapid-acting calcium channel blocker administered as needed via a convenient, portable nasal spray. It offers rapid onset of action, favorable tolerability, and the potential for at-home self-administration, enhancing patient accessibility. CARDAMYST(R) is currently the only self-administered treatment for adults with PSVT to rapidly treat episodes. The drug was approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China in September 2026, for the conversion of acute symptomatic episodes of paroxysmal PSVT to sinus rhythm in adults.According to clinical data, treatment effects can be observed as early as five minutes after administration, with 64% of patients achieving conversion to sinus rhythm within 30 minutes and a median time to conversion of 17 minutes. CARDAMYST(R) was generally well tolerated, with predominantly mild adverse events, and significantly reduced the need for emergency department visits.Positioned as an on-demand treatment that enables patients to take control of their heart rhythm, CARDAMYST(R) empowers patients with PSVT to better manage their condition and their lives. It has the potential to transform the treatment paradigm for acute PSVT episodes from passive emergency care in hospitals to proactive self-management by patients, helping to alleviate anxiety during episodes, reduce emergency department visits and disease burden, and further improve long-term disease management and quality of life.Research presented at ESC Congress 2026 shows that PSVT is a chronic condition that continues to impact patients’ quality of life, rather than simply an occasional acute emergency. Patients with PSVT experience a substantial burden between episodes, with negative impacts on anxiety, daily activities, sleep, and work. Therefore, beyond acute treatment and subsequent catheter ablation, ensuring timely and convenient treatment during an episode is also an important aspect of PSVT management.For patients experiencing recurrent PSVT episodes, further data from studies of CARDAMYST(R) provide additional clinical support. The NODE-302 study evaluated patients with recurrent PSVT episodes during long-term follow-up. Across a total of 188 episodes, the overall conversion rate within 30 minutes was 60.2%, with a median time to conversion of 15.5 minutes and a cumulative conversion rate of 75.1% within 60 minutes. The conversion rate showed a numerical upward trend across multiple episodes. A patient’s response to the first episode was predictive of the response to subsequent episodes, with no evidence of diminished response with repeated use. In a patient-reported outcomes (PRO) analysis from the NODE-303 study, CARDAMYST(R) not only converted heart rhythm but also helped alleviate feelings of a racing or pounding heart and ease anxiety, with patients reporting sustained reductions from baseline in anxiety and stress related to future PSVT episodes. CARDAMYST(R) addresses the critical unmet need for acute self-treatment during PSVT episodes. By reducing the sense of losing control, it shifts the treatment focus from mere disease control to enhancing the overall patient experience.In December 2025, CARDAMYST(R) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), becoming the first and only self-administered nasal spray in more than 30 years capable of converting PSVT to sinus rhythm in adults. CARDAMYST(R) is also in Phase III clinical development for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (AFib-RVR), with positive Phase II results supporting its advancement.An estimated 3 to 6 million people in China are living with PSVT. Research presented at ESC Congress 2026 further highlights the quality-of-life burden experienced by patients between episodes, while CARDAMYST(R) offers an out-of-hospital, self-administered treatment option for acute episodes. As Everest Medicines’ first approved innovative therapy in the cardiovascular disease field, CARDAMYST(R) complements the Company’s existing portfolio and has the potential to benefit more than 12 million patients in China, including those with PSVT and atrial fibrillation with AFib-RVR.

HONG KONG, Sept 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - 3DG Holdings (International) Limited (“3DG Holdings” or the “Group”) (Stock Code: 2882) is pleased to celebrate the 23rd anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, the brand has invited renowned designer and illustrator Mr. Alex Gan, known for his delicate style and dreamlike brushwork, to create an exclusive anniversary-themed artwork. This crossover collaboration embodies the brand’s “Young at Heart” philosophy through jewellery. Drawing inspiration from 3DG Jewellery’s signature products, the artist has transformed classic design elements into imaginative illustrations. These include the Eight Treasures Compass from the “Classic Gold” collection, the four-leaf clover from the “Golden Allure GA” collection and the feather from the “Bling Bling Gold” collection, offering a new artistic interpretation of jewellery aesthetics. Taking centre stage in the celebration is the newly launched “Bling Bling Gold” Phalaenopsis Orchid Collection. The collection combines graceful, three-dimensional contours with the brand’s exclusive Bling Bling Gold craftsmanship and technology, allowing the gold surface to refract a spectrum of colours as the light shifts. Designed to complement both wedding occasions and everyday styling, the collection seamlessly combines romantic sophistication with modern versatility, allowing wearers to express their individuality with confidence and elegance. In addition, a range of exclusive co-branded merchandise, including gift boxes, tumblers and stylish scarves, will be launched during the campaign, offering customers an artistic experience that engages both sight and touch.

Gold symbolises the precious metal, while holographic silver represents the dazzling brilliance of jewellery. The artwork adopts a swirling, encircling composition that evokes a sense of fluid movement. Shooting stars streak across the sky as graceful hummingbirds and fluttering butterflies act as guides, accompanied by soft velvet ribbons and exquisite jewellery. Together, these elements create a light and dynamic sense of moving towards something longed for. Gilded flowers burst into bloom while pristine feathers unfurl and dance across the sky, intertwining as they converge into a glittering vortex of swirling light, surrounded by delicate sparkles of starlight. The layered interplay of light and shadow creates a refined and dreamlike atmosphere, with the silhouette of a beautiful young woman appearing subtly amid the starlight. Each visual element echoes the others, giving concrete form to romantic imagery. Through symbols such as starlight, blossoms, wings, butterflies and birds, the artwork conveys the vibrant and ever-renewing inner vitality of love, resulting in an artistic visual expression that combines aesthetic beauty with emotional meaning.This cross-industry collaboration embodies the brand’s “Young at Heart” philosophy, demonstrating how jewellery can transcend the boundaries of age and time, empowering every woman to discover her own moment to shine. Inspired by 3DG Jewellery’s signatureCollections, Mr. Gan has woven the brand’s classic designs into the artwork. The curves of the butterfly’s outstretched wings echo the silhouette of the “Bling Bling Gold” butterfly designs; the lightness of the feathers mirrors the ethereal elegance of the “Bling Bling Gold” feather design; and the four-leaf clover and Eight Treasures Compass motifs directly reference the classic designs of the “Golden Allure GA” and “Classic Gold” collections.

Adelaide, AU, Sept 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) — Duraqex's supplied business materials cover Australian financial services representation, U.S. money services registration and securities filings. Together with accessible official records, they provide information about the named entities. Each record serves a different purpose and must be matched to specific services.Together with accessible official records, they provide information about the named entities. Each record serves a different purpose and must be matched to specific services.The project materials extend that examination to execution: which entities bear responsibility, what their authorisations cover, and what evidence supports the proposed custody and settlement capabilities.Platform Design Focuses on Capital Efficiency Across MarketsDuraqex's project materials describe the digital asset market infrastructure addressing jurisdictional access differences, settlement arrangements, collateral eligibility and separately calculated margin across products or entities.These conditions affect whether capital can be deployed. An asset may have market value but remain ineligible as margin; credited funds may await settlement before further use.The proposed architecture connects market access, collateral management, execution and settlement. Project documents explain the design; availability requires product-status information and operational records.AFS Record Identifies DURAQEX PTY LTD as an Authorised RepresentativeThe supplied Australian record lists DURAQEX PTY LTD as authorised representative 001322634 of OPHELEO HOLDINGS PTY LTD, holder of Australian Financial Services (AFS) licence 224485. The document marks the representative's status as "Current."This describes a representative appointment, not an independently held AFS licence. Service coverage depends on the authorisation and licence conditions.Contracting entities, products and customer categories must correspond to those permissions. An ASIC lookup link is provided, but the status reported here remains attributed to the supplied record; live status was not independently verified.FinCEN MSB Registration Lists Reported ActivitiesAccording to the official FinCEN record retrieved on September 16, 2026, Duraqex Ltd is listed under Money Services Business (MSB) registration number 31000337348934. Reported activities include foreign exchange dealing, issuing and selling money orders, and issuing traveller's checks.The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) states that registrants supply the information and registration does not constitute approval or endorsement. The record should be described as MSB registration, rather than a digital asset exchange licence.The lookup confirmed the named entry and number. It does not verify custody, withdrawal capability or solvency.SEC Form D Identifies DURAQEX LTDThe official SEC EDGAR Form D filing identifies DURAQEX LTD under Central Index Key (CIK) 0002144180.Form D is a notice of an exempt securities offering; the CIK identifies the filer. Readers can consult the SEC database to examine the issuer's information, identifier and securities offering disclosures, within the scope of that Form D filing.Custody, Proof of Reserves and Settlement Require Operational EvidenceBusiness records address entity identification and reported information. Platform capabilities require operating evidence.Custody assessment considers asset-control permissions, separation of customer and corporate assets, and obligations owed to customers. Proof of Reserves should specify the assets and liabilities covered, verification methods and limitations.Execution and settlement assessment also considers test coverage, exception handling and reviewable settlement records. These are assessment criteria, not statements that Duraqex has implemented or completed those checks.Matching contracting entities, service permissions and operating records would help users and business partners assess the platform. Registration and filing records alone do not establish comprehensive authorisation, solvency or asset safety.About DuraqexDuraqex's project materials describe digital asset market infrastructure focused on capital efficiency, market access, custody and verifiable settlement. Product status and service eligibility depend on applicable authorisations and operational evidence.Sources and Publication DisclosureThis company-supplied document assessment draws on project materials, the supplied Australian record and retrieved FinCEN and SEC records. It includes no account-opening, deposit or withdrawal testing or independent security audit and is not an independent platform rating.Media ContactContact: Ravindu WickramasuriyaEmail: info@desixb.comWebsite: https://www.desixb.com/ Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Guangzhou, China, Sept 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Airwheel, a developer of smart electric luggage and intelligent mobility products, will participate across all three phases of the 140th Canton Fair, bringing its latest generation of smart travel products to international buyers, distributors, retailers and industry partners.At the center of Airwheel's exhibition lineup will be the SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase, a flagship 20-inch smart electric suitcase that combines one-touch electric riding, intelligent control, connected technology and premium luggage design.The company will maintain a presence throughout all three phases of the exhibition, presenting a broader portfolio of AI Suitcases, Smart Suitcases, Electric Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases and Rideable Suitcases designed for different travel scenarios and customer segments.Airwheel will be present throughout the entire 140th Canton Fair.Phase 1: October 15–19, 2026Booth: To be announced following final confirmationPhase 2: October 23–27, 2026Booth: 20.2F19-20Phase 3: October 31–November 4, 2026Booths: 20.2J37-38, 20.2K11-12, 18.1K04The full three-phase presence gives international buyers an opportunity to connect with Airwheel throughout the exhibition period and explore its smart electric luggage portfolio, product capabilities and potential distribution opportunities.SE3SXD: From Luxury Suitcase to Intelligent Mobility CompanionThe SE3SXD represents Airwheel's latest approach to intelligent luggage, built around a simple idea: making the transition from carrying luggage to riding it faster and more intuitive.Its one-touch riding system automatically deploys the powered front wheel while the intelligent riding handle extends and locks into position. With a single operation, the suitcase can transition from a conventional Cabin Suitcase into a Rideable Suitcase without requiring users to manually complete multiple mechanical steps.The SE3SXD measures approximately 550 × 360 × 236 mm, provides 20 liters of storage capacity and weighs approximately 6.8 kg without the power bank. It supports a maximum load of 95 kg and reaches a maximum riding speed of 9.9 km/h.Its drive system uses a 230W motor and a 5.2-inch powered front wheel, combined with dual 4-inch rear wheels. The telescopic powered front-wheel structure extends the wheelbase during riding, helping improve stability across smooth indoor surfaces and common outdoor environments.The result is a premium travel product that combines the functions of a Luxury Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase, Electric Suitcase and Rideable Suitcase within one platform.Intelligent Control Designed Around the JourneyThe SE3SXD's intelligence extends beyond its electric drive system.Through Airwheel's dedicated smart APP, users can monitor riding speed, battery level and mileage in real time while adjusting speed continuously from 0.1 to 9.9 km/h.The system also supports functions including cruise control, intelligent remote control, low-battery alerts and Bluetooth disconnection notifications.Personalization is another part of the experience. The SE3SXD features an 8-color lighting system with nine lighting-effect combinations, allowing users to customize the visual appearance of the suitcase.For additional security and convenience, the SE3SXD supports Apple Find My, allowing users to locate the suitcase through compatible Apple devices and activate a sound when searching for it nearby.A 5V USB output provides additional charging capability for smartphones and other portable devices, extending the role of the suitcase beyond simple luggage storage.Designed for Modern International TravelThe SE3SXD is built around a 20-inch cabin-size format and uses a 73.26Wh removable lithium battery. The battery system has obtained International Certification, while its removable architecture allows the power unit to be separated from the suitcase when required for inspection and handling.The suitcase uses an ABS+PC composite shell reinforced with an aluminum alloy frame, combining lightweight construction with structural strength. A TSA combination lock provides additional convenience for international travelers.With a maximum load of 95 kg and an operating temperature range of approximately -10°C to 40°C, the SE3SXD is designed for a broad range of everyday travel environments.Airwheel's official product materials also emphasize the SE3SXD's combination of one-touch deployment, APP connectivity, Apple Find My and 9.9 km/h riding performance, positioning it as a flagship model within the company's smart rideable luggage range.A Complete Smart Electric Luggage Product MatrixThe SE3SXD is not a standalone product. It forms part of Airwheel's broader smart electric luggage portfolio, enabling the company to address different travel needs, price segments and user groups.SE3SXD — Flagship AI Luxury SuitcaseAirwheel's flagship intelligent model, featuring one-touch automatic riding deployment, APP control, Apple Find My and premium cabin-size design.SE3SX — Premium Smart Electric Cabin SuitcaseA compact rideable cabin suitcase designed for travelers seeking electric mobility, smart functions and a premium business-travel experience.SE3SL+ — Smart Rideable Airport SuitcaseA lightweight smart luggage option focused on portability, electric riding and everyday airport travel.SE3S / SE3SL — Established Rideable Electric Suitcase SeriesModels combining conventional luggage functionality with electric riding, removable battery systems and smart mobility features.SE3MiniT — Compact Electric Hand LuggageA smaller-format option designed for flexible personal mobility and users seeking a more compact rideable luggage solution.SE3T — Large-Capacity Electric SuitcaseA larger smart luggage platform designed for extended journeys, higher storage requirements and family travel.SQ3 / SQ3S — Family and Youth-Oriented Riding Kids SuitcaseCompact riding luggage designed around younger users and family travel scenarios.This product matrix gives Airwheel a broader commercial platform, allowing distributors and retailers to select products according to local market preferences rather than relying on a single flagship model.Growing Media Attention and Market RecognitionThe emergence of smart electric luggage has attracted increasing attention from technology, travel and consumer-product media as the traditional luggage category intersects with electric mobility and connected hardware.Airwheel's rideable smart luggage has received substantial media exposure and customer attention across different markets, helping introduce the concept of electric riding luggage to a wider international audience.The company's products have also received multiple international design recognitions. According to Airwheel, its portfolio has received more than 39 international design awards, while the company has accumulated more than 600 patents and related intellectual property assets covering areas such as electric drive, intelligent control, structural engineering and human-machine interaction.These technology and design assets form part of Airwheel's broader strategy to develop smart mobility products that combine practical functionality with consumer-oriented industrial design.Smart Electric Luggage: A 2026 Business OpportunityAs travel increasingly intersects with mobility technology, smart electric luggage is emerging as a distinct product category between traditional luggage, personal mobility and consumer electronics.For international distributors, luggage retailers, travel retailers, e-commerce businesses and mobility-focused companies, this convergence creates opportunities to introduce differentiated products into markets where conventional luggage has traditionally competed primarily on capacity, materials and design.Airwheel's multi-model portfolio provides several entry points into the category, ranging from premium AI Luxury Suitcases and compact Cabin Suitcases to larger-capacity Electric Suitcases.For businesses evaluating new product categories in 2026, smart electric luggage offers an opportunity to participate in an emerging segment driven by the convergence of AI, electric mobility, connected devices and modern travel.Rather than positioning the category simply as another type of luggage, Airwheel is developing it as a new travel technology platform—one capable of carrying belongings, providing electric mobility, connecting with smartphones and supporting users throughout their journey.Bringing Smart Travel to the Global MarketThe 140th Canton Fair will provide Airwheel with an opportunity to present this broader vision directly to international buyers.With the SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase as its flagship showcase and a growing product matrix behind it, Airwheel will demonstrate how smart electric luggage can evolve from a niche mobility product into a broader intelligent travel category.The company's three-phase presence also reflects its continued focus on international markets, where distributors, retailers and travel businesses can explore product demonstrations, portfolio options and potential cooperation.For Airwheel, the future of luggage is no longer limited to simply carrying what travelers bring with them.It is about helping people move, connect and travel more intelligently.At the 140th Canton Fair, Airwheel will bring that vision to the global market through a portfolio that spans AI Suitcases, Luxury Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases, Electric Suitcases and Rideable Suitcases—positioning intelligent mobility as an increasingly important part of the next generation of travel.Media ContactCompany: AirwheelContact: Media TeamWebsite: https://www.airwheel.net Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
