NEW YORK, Aug 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SunScout Holding Limited (NYSE American: SNSC) develops autonomous solar-powered robotic mowers and complementary solar energy solutions. The company has principal operations in New Zealand and the United States and is incorporated in the Cayman Islands.SunScout commenced concurrent trading on NYSE American and NYSE Texas on August 12, 2026, becoming the first issuer with this combination of domicile and operational footprint to list on both exchanges. The offering was priced at $5.00 per Class A ordinary share, yielding gross proceeds of approximately $15.5 million. Upon closing, the company will have approximately 23.1 million Class A ordinary shares outstanding, implying a market capitalization of roughly $115.5 million based on the offer price.NYSE Texas, launched by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in March 2025 and headquartered in Dallas, currently hosts listed companies with an aggregate market capitalization exceeding $3.9 trillion, positioning it as a significant U.S. capital‑markets hub. The dual listing is expected to enhance SunScout’s brand visibility across the United States, particularly in Texas, where the company is pursuing strategic expansion, while also broadening its investor base.Three‑Pronged Clean‑Tech Portfolio; SunScout Products Emerges as Key Growth DriverAs detailed in its prospectus, SunScout designs, develops, manufactures, and commercializes autonomous solar‑powered robotic mowers alongside complementary solar‑energy solutions. Its operations are organized into three segments: SunScout Products (autonomous solar-powered robotic mowers and complementary products), solar power development solutions, and engineering products and services under the Brunton Engineering brand, which encompasses clean‑energy hardware and high‑precision manufacturing.For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the company reported total revenue of approximately $4.8 million, representing year‑over‑year growth of 93.6%. Solar power development solutions contributed approximately 40.9% of total revenue, while engineering products and services accounted for approximately 31.1%. Revenue from SunScout Products rose to approximately 28.0% of total revenue, up from approximately 18.5% in FY2024, demonstrating strong growth momentum.The prospectus explicitly notes that while solar power development and engineering services currently generate the majority of top‑line revenue, the SunScout Products segment captures long‑term growth opportunities aligned with global market expansion and is positioned as a core growth engine, accelerating the company’s transition toward a higher‑value, product‑driven business model.According to Mordor Intelligence, the global robotic lawn mower market is on a robust growth trajectory, valued at roughly $2.4 billion in 2025 and projected to reach $4.7 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. Robotic mowers still represent a small fraction of the broader lawn‑equipment market, leaving significant room for penetration.Rising labor shortages and escalating lawn‑maintenance costs are fueling demand for automation. Concurrently, regulatory initiatives worldwide to phase out gasoline‑powered outdoor equipment are gaining momentum, accelerating industry electrification. Shifting consumer preferences toward intelligent, convenient solutions are fostering deeper integration of robotic mowers with smart‑home ecosystems and the Internet of Things (IoT), creating substantial headroom for automated electric mowing solutions.Proprietary DSA Technology Enables True Off‑Grid OperationSunScout’s core competitive advantage lies in its proprietary Deployable Solar Array (DSA) technology, which allows its robotic mowers to operate entirely on solar power, achieving genuine off‑grid performance without reliance on electrical outlets. Conventional gasoline‑powered mowers emit carbon emissions, and while existing electric mowers eliminate direct emissions, they remain dependent on fixed charging infrastructure, constraining operational range and flexibility.The DSA mechanism enables solar panels to automatically deploy when stationary, tripling the surface area to maximize solar‑energy capture for onboard battery charging; panels retract during movement to preserve maneuverability. This design supports fully solar‑dependent, zero‑emission autonomous mowing, augmented by autonomous navigation and AI‑powered obstacle avoidance capabilities.According to the company, few competing products can function completely independent of external power sources. This capability unlocks deployments at sites without power outlets or charging facilities—such as golf courses, public parks, and large‑scale green spaces—delivering meaningful advantages for continuous autonomous field operations. Over the longer term, DSA‑based hardware insulates operating costs from electricity‑price inflation and enables rollouts in regions with limited or unreliable grid infrastructure.SunScout also emphasizes that its technology platform is highly adaptable and platform‑agnostic, opening potential applications beyond lawn mowing, including agricultural robotics, onboard solar‑charging systems for electric vehicles, autonomous patrol robots, and other mobile machinery.Three‑Tier Product Lineup and Rapidly Expanding Global DistributionSunScout’s autonomous solar‑powered robotic mower portfolio comprises three modular models: the residential‑grade SunScout Eco, light‑commercial SunScout Pro, and large‑institutional‑focused SunScout ProMax. The modular architecture supports incremental upgrades without extensive redesign, facilitating efficient global deployment across diverse terrain and climate conditions.For example, the entry‑level SunScout Eco integrates high‑efficiency photovoltaic panels into the top housing, converting sunlight to supply all energy required for propulsion, cutting assemblies, and onboard electronics. The unit employs a multi‑sensor suite and AI‑enhanced dual‑camera visual navigation to map work zones, identify lawn boundaries and obstacles, and optimize mowing routes. For larger and more complex sites, RTK satellite navigation is available to deliver centimeter‑level positioning accuracy.On commercial‑channel development, SunScout has established distribution partnerships with Wrissmer Werkstattsysteme GmbH (WWS) in Europe and MowBot Limited in Australia and New Zealand, and is in active discussions regarding potential distribution cooperation with major retailers, including Walmart.Beyond robotic hardware, the company provides end‑to‑end solar power development solutions, including system design, installation, and full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. Through its Brunton Engineering brand, it also offers engineering products and services leveraging nearly 30 years of precision‑fabrication and mechanical‑engineering expertise, and is an accredited supplier to the New Zealand Defence Force.On the manufacturing front, assembly is currently conducted via SunScout Asia in Thailand. The company is advancing the establishment of an assembly and distribution center in Austin, Texas, through its U.S. subsidiary, which will build domestic production capacity and support long‑term North American expansion, aligning with U.S. policy emphasis on domestic robotics and technology supply chains. Recent actions by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) restricting authorizations for certain foreign‑produced robotic products further underscore the growing importance of domestic manufacturing and supply‑chain resilience.Net proceeds from the offering are expected to be used primarily for: (i) construction of the Austin manufacturing facility; (ii) sales and marketing activities; (iii) product research and development; (iv) inventory procurement; (v) repayment of one loan; (vi) consideration for the acquisition of Brightway Energy LLC; and (vii) general working capital purposes.Against the backdrop of accelerating global clean‑energy transition and continued expansion of the robotic‑mower market, market participants will closely monitor whether SunScout can leverage its proprietary off‑grid solar‑robotics technology to differentiate itself amid intensifying industry competition.Note: This translation has been calibrated against the company’s registration statement on Form F‑1 (File No. 333‑295248), as declared effective by the SEC on August 11, 2026.

NEW YORK, Aug 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SunScout Holding Limited (the “Company” or “SunScout”) (NYSE American: SNSC), a clean-technology company, commenced trading today. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares began trading concurrently on NYSE American and NYSE Texas on August 12, 2026, making SunScout the first New Zealand-headquartered company to complete a concurrent dual listing on the two exchanges.NYSE Texas was established by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in March 2025 and is headquartered in Dallas. Companies listed in Texas have a combined market capitalization of more than $3.9 trillion, making it one of the most dynamic capital markets in the United States. The dual listing is expected to significantly enhance SunScout’s visibility in the U.S. market, particularly in Texas, where the Company is pursuing a strategic expansion, while broadening its reach to investors.According to the Company’s prospectus, SunScout is a clean-technology company engaged in the design, development, and commercialization of autonomous, solar-powered robotic mowers and related solar energy solutions. The Company has developed proprietary Deployable Solar Array (“DSA”) technology, enabling its robotic mowers to operate entirely on solar power for true off-grid operation without grid connection.

The facility reflects SunScout’s strategy to establish a domestic manufacturing presence at a time when the U.S. is placing greater emphasis on domestic robotics and technology supply chains. This trend has gained additional momentum following recent actions by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) restricting the authorization of certain foreign-produced robotics products, underscoring the growing importance of U.S.-based manufacturing and supply-chain resilience.SunScout has delivered rapid growth while accelerating its transition toward a more product-driven business model. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company generated approximately $4.8 million in revenue, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 93.6%. While its solar power development solutions and engineering products and services accounted for the majority of revenue, the SunScout Products business recorded strong growth. Revenue increased from 18.5% of total revenue in FY2024 to 28.0% in FY2025, reflecting steady progress toward a higher-value, product-driven business model. The Company expects its SunScout Products business to maintain sustainable long-term growth as it expands into international markets.Upon completion of the offering, the Company expects to receive gross proceeds of approximately $15.5 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. The Company has approximately 23.1 million Class A ordinary shares outstanding, representing an implied market capitalization of approximately $115.5 million based on the offering price.

Mr. Wawruch is a senior geology and mineral resource consultant independent of Doubleview. Mr. Gilles Arseneau, PhD., P.Geo., of ARSENEAU Consulting Services Inc., provided an independent review of this MRE.Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014), and CIM MRMR Best Practice Guidelines (2019).The effective date of the MRE is February 4, 2026.Metal contents have been calculated using the following metallurgical recovery factors: Cu = 85%, Au = 89%, Co = 78%, and Ag = 68%.Economic assumptions used include US$4.80/lb Cu, US$20.00/lb Co, US$3,200/oz Au, US$46/oz Ag, and a 2% NSR royalty.Mineral Resources are reported within optimized open pit constraints and 0.2% CuEq cut-off grade, based on a C$7.93/t milled processing cost and C$2.90/t milled general and administrative cost, with a mining cost of C$3.01/t plus incremental mining cost increasing by C$0.015/t for every bench below the reference level of 1,125 mRL.CuEq calculations do not include scandium. The formula used to calculate CuEq is: CuEq = [(((Ag × 46.0 × 0.68)/31.1035) + ((Au × 3200 × 0.89)/31.1035) + 0.0001 × (Co × 20.0 × 0.78 × 22.0462) + 0.0001 × (Cu × 4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85))/(4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85)], where all input variables are expressed in (ppm) and CuEq is expressed in percent (%).Rounding may result in minor variations between individual values and totals; such differences are not considered material to the MRE.Mineral Resource classification reflects the level of geological confidence and satisfies the uncertainty criteria appropriate for exploration and resource development. Additional drilling will be required to reduce uncertainty to the level expected for production planning. The MRE reflects the geological interpretation, drill-hole spacing, and estimation parameters available at the time of modelling. Any additional drilling is expected to influence the current outcome by improving confidence in the estimates and refining the geometry of the mineralized domains.The Mineral Resource results are presented in situ within the optimized pit. Mineralized material outside the pit has not been considered as a part of the current MRE tabulation. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes, g/t).A total of 97 diamond drill holes, comprising 49,548 m of core, were incorporated into the Mineral Resource Estimate. All drilling data used in the MRE were subject to standard QA/QC validation prior to inclusion.The block model is defined relative to a model origin at UTM Zone 9N 346,750 E / 6,453,000 N / 0 (NAD 83). Parent blocks measure 15 × 15 × 15 m, totalling 136 × 150 × 75 blocks across extents of 2,040 m (X), 2,250 m (Y), and 1,125 m (Z). All volumes and estimates are constrained by these discretization parameters. 1 https://www.war.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/4566598/office-of-strategic-capital-signs-400-million-conditional-loan-commitment-with/To view the source version of this press release, please visit https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/309323 Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

ATLANTA, GA, Aug 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Haven Safety AI, the AI-powered workplace safety platform transforming how organizations investigate incidents and learn from operational risk, today announced the launch of HavenASSURE, an AI platform for investigation quality assurance. The launch coincides with the company's successful completion of its SOC 2 Type II attestation, reinforcing Haven Safety AI's position as a security-first partner for enterprise safety, risk management, and insurance organizations.HavenASSURE introduces a new approach to incident management by applying Haven's knowledge graphs and AI reasoning capabilities to the quality of completed investigations. It serves as an independent reviewer, identifying missing evidence, overlooked causal factors, weak root cause analysis, insufficient corrective actions, and opportunities to strengthen organizational learning before those findings become part of an organization's institutional knowledge.Designed for enterprise safety organizations, HavenASSURE also extends these capabilities to insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and claims organizations seeking to improve investigation quality, strengthen claims consistency, and identify emerging portfolio risks across large volumes of investigations."Organizations have invested heavily in digitizing incident reporting, but far less attention has been paid to the quality of the investigations themselves," said Joseph Hanna, CEO of Haven Safety AI. "For decades, investigation quality has been measured through audits, peer reviews, and sampling. HavenASSURE changes that by making every investigation reviewable, measurable, and continuously improvable. We believe investigation quality will become as important a safety metric as incident rates themselves."Organizations can use HavenASSURE to continuously improve investigation quality across internal teams, contractors, acquired businesses, historical incident records, and insurance claims, helping ensure every investigation meets a consistent standard before lessons are shared across the enterprise."The value of an incident investigation is determined not by whether it was completed, but by the quality of the conclusions it reaches. The quality of an investigation directly influences the effectiveness of corrective actions, organizational learning, and ultimately future safety performance. Giving organizations a consistent way to evaluate investigation quality represents an important advancement for the safety profession," said Dr. David Michaels, Former Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA and Advisor to Haven Safety AIBuilt for Enterprise TrustAs AI becomes embedded in safety-critical workflows, organizations increasingly expect enterprise-grade security, governance, and operational controls from their AI providers, particularly when investigations involve sensitive operational, legal, employee, and claims information.Haven Safety AI's successful SOC 2 Type II examination validates the effectiveness of the company's controls over an extended operating period, providing customers with additional confidence that their data is protected through mature security, availability, and operational practices."Haven was built from the beginning for enterprise environments," Hanna added. "Security, governance, explainability, and regulatory alignment are foundational to our platform, not capabilities added later. As organizations expand their use of AI across safety operations and claims management, they need partners that combine advanced reasoning with enterprise-grade controls."Expanding AI for Insurance and ClaimsWhile originally developed for workplace safety, HavenASSURE also introduces a new approach for insurance carriers and claims organizations. By automatically reviewing completed claims investigations, identifying inconsistencies or missing evidence, evaluating the quality of causal analysis, and surfacing emerging risk indicators across thousands of claims, HavenASSURE helps insurers improve claims quality, strengthen subrogation and litigation readiness, identify systemic loss drivers, and uncover trends that traditional quality assurance processes often miss.Beyond improving individual claims, HavenASSURE enables insurers to transform completed investigations into portfolio-wide operational intelligence, helping inform underwriting, risk engineering, customer loss prevention, and strategic advisory services through deeper insight into the underlying causes of loss.A Connected Platform for Continuous LearningHavenASSURE extends Haven Safety AI's platform, which supports organizations throughout the incident lifecycle, from frontline evidence collection and AI-assisted investigations to investigation quality assurance and enterprise learning.Together, these capabilities create a continuous learning system that captures richer evidence, conducts more consistent investigations, verifies investigation quality, and transforms every incident into trusted organizational knowledge. The result is stronger corrective actions, earlier identification of systemic risks, and an enterprise safety program that becomes smarter with every investigation.About Haven Safety AIHaven Safety AI is an AI-native workplace safety platform that helps organizations investigate incidents faster, improve investigation quality, and accelerate organizational learning. Purpose-built for safety professionals, Haven Safety AI combines advanced AI reasoning with deep domain expertise to support incident capture, investigation, quality assurance, corrective actions, and enterprise learning across high-risk industries.For more information, visit www.havensafety.com.Contact:Mark RottensteinerTheAgency@ACCESSNewswire.comSOURCE: Haven Safety Corporation Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

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

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

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

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

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

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