Sole funded activities commenced at the wholly owned Cobar Basin precious-base metals Condobolin projectAirborne geophysical survey mobilised across the historic Condobolin Mineral Field Preparations for diamond drilling at the Meritilga target testing extensions to the existing gold-silver-base metals systemReview commenced assessing the potential for alluvial gold based on prior drillingFurther consolidation of the wider district increasing the foothold of the Condobolin project by a thirdMelbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 14, 2025) - Gold-copper explorer and hybrid project generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to announce that an airborne electro-magnetic (AEM) geophysical survey covering approximately 155km2 has been mobilized at the Condobolin project, located in the southern end of the Cobar Basin. Ahead of this survey, Kincora has pegged the adjacent open ground to expand the total project size by 90km2.The AEM survey is expected to generate new near surface targets and refine existing mineralized systems located under shallow post mineral cover, as well as refine potential deeper source feeder zones. These include the Meritilga target where preparations have commenced for a high impact drilling program to test the down dip and on strike extensions of the existing system which hosts broad near surface gold-silver-base metal mineralisation with ore grade intervals (including 4m @ 20g/t gold and 30.2g/t silver from 75m 1).In light of near record Australian gold and silver prices, Kincora has commenced a review of prior encouraging drilling results within a paleochannel at the Meritilga target, which has including up to 28.4g/t gold in gravels (from 4m) and 3.99g/t gold in basement (from 28m) 2.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented,"We are pleased to commence exploration at our wholly owned Condobolin project at a time of significant exploration, development and corporate success in the southern and lesser explored section of the Cobar Basin. Kincora has a well-planned strategy to explore the extensions of the Condobolin Mineral Field, which has a substantial mining history for high grade gold, silver and base metals. The project is well located to existing infrastructure, is easy to explore and has very limited effective exploration below the shallow weathering profile. The extent of historical mining, and geochemical and geophysical anomalies, indicate excellent potential for multiple new discoveries. We are looking to systematically use exploration techniques that have already yielded the Meritilga discovery and many new recent discoveries in the north of the district at similar and earlier stage profile projects. The designed multi-phase campaign is a capital efficient value add strategy at a project that has the potential to excite in the current very strong precious metals environment."Figure 1: Kincora has seven major project groups located in Central West NSW, six porphyry and one Cobar style mineral system, all located in world-class geological terrains which host Tier-1 mines The Condobolin project is in the southern and lesser explored section of the Cobar BasinTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_18516798242cc817_001full.jpgCOBAR DISTRICTThe Cobar Basin has a 150-year history of high-grade, long-life mining and is an important supplier of critical and precious metals. The region benefits from established infrastructure and favourable ESG considerations with significant scope for processing and mining efficiencies, supporting potential consolidation.The district has recently seen several significant new discoveries utilising modern exploration techniques in lesser explored regions (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and emerging corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover for MAC Copper (MAC.ASX) and Kingston Resources (KSN.ASX) recently receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its PNG Misima project).CONDOBOLIN PROJECTThe project and regional profiles' support the Condobolin project being an asset that a junior explorer such as Kincora can add significant value to. A multi-phase exploration campaign of regional scale exploration and target specific drilling has commenced and is fully funded following the Company's July 2025 non-brokered private placement (C$4m raising with a 12-month hold period).The Condobolin project was historically the focus of up to 25 informal open pit operations (peak late 1800's-early 1900's), with mining impacted by the water table and exploration by the weathering profile. The mineral field has not been effectively explored below the weathered zone (~30m).Very limited modern exploration has taken with initial activities by Clancy Exploration (Clancy, now RareX Limited) yielding encouraging results at all five prospects drilled (2011-13), including a virgin high-grade gold discovery at the Meritilga Prospect.More recently within the immediate district, Kingston Resources (ASX: KSN) has significantly expanded the resources and restarted hard rock mining at the Mineral Hill mine, Talisman Mining (ASX: TLM) has recent new success at its Rip N Tear and Durnings targets (to both the immediate north and south of Mineral Hill), while Australian Gold and Copper (ASX: AGC) has excited the market with its new potential district scale discovery at its Achilles target located within the south western extension of the Cobar Basin.The Condobolin project is located approximately 40km south from the mill at Mineral Hill and north of the Condobolin town (which is the primary source of employees to Mineral Hill operation who drive through the Condobolin project to work) - see Figure 2.Kincora has consolidated a 100% project ownership and continued to expand our foothold across the near surface potential of the historical Condobolin Mineral Field. The total project size is 297km2 across two adjacent licenses with a new license application (latter 90km2) - see Figure 3.To advance the potential of the wider project and historical mining field, Kincora has mobilised an AEM survey covering over 800 line-kilometres utilising Expert Geophysics Pty Ltd's (Expert Geophysics) TargetEM26 system. Approximately 20% of the wider project is out-sub cropping with the average depth of cover in non-outcropping areas less than 5 metres supporting very easy exploration with surface geology and sampling being an effective, quick and cheap methods - see Figures 3 & 4.AEM surveys have proven to be a highly effective discovery technique in this region significantly contribution in several recent discoveries in the Cobar Basin. The survey is a quick low impact method to provide subsurface structure across the full historic Condobolin Mineral Field with an infill survey across multiple targets, including Meritilga, many of which have significant base metal and gold-silver anomalies - see Figures 3 & 4 overlaying lead anomalism from soil sampling.Figure 2: Regional brownfield and greenfield exploration projects are generating new discoveries and drill targets in a lesser explored but historic mining districtThe Condobolin project is located at the southern end of the Cobar Basin, benefits from existing infrastructure and is near the Mineral Hill mill which is seeking organic and inorganic means to fill existing excess mill capacityTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_image2.jpgThe Meritilga target was a new discovery made by Clancy in 2012 following up a coincident 2km x 2km arsenic-lead-zinc (+gold) geochemical anomaly and K-channel radiometric anomaly over ridges east of the historic mines at Mascotte and west of Potters. The anomalies coincided with key NE-striking structures identified in detailed 3D induced polarization (IP) surveys 1.The gold, silver and base metals system is situated within a lode with high grade lens (ore grade, eg 4m @ 20g/t gold, 30.2 g/t silver from 75m, including 1m @ 62g/t gold, 60g/t silver in hole CORC029) and a lower grade halo. The lode is a consistent body, open up and down dip 1, 3.Land access agreements are in place and the permitting process commenced for an up to 15 diamond drill hole program for 4100 metres testing down dip (up to 350m depth) and strike extensions and the potential for repeat high grade lens and/or a stacked series of lenses.This setting is supported by the last phase of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling by Clancy, the one diamond hole drilled by Kincora in 2023, coupled with a favourable structural setting where the main Meritilga Fault has been cross-cut by N-S trending faults 4.The current working geological model, underpinned by pathfinder zonation and coincident geophysical anomalies, supports the potential for a larger mineralised intrusive source at depth - see Figure 6. The AEM survey is expected to also better advance and refine these concepts.Given shifting in commodity prices, Kincora has commenced a review of prior encouraging very shallow gold drilling results of Clancy. In 2011, twenty Air-Core (AC) holes tested the Tilga paleochannel with several significant hits returned. The best intercept was 1m @ 28.4g/t Au (from 4m, hole COAC012 in the gravels) and 3.99g/t Au (from 28m, hole COAC005 in basement) 2.The average depth of the paleochannel gravels was 7.9m with a potential target area of 2km by 0.5km - see Figure 4. The last review of the alluvial gold potential was undertaken by Clancy when the Australian gold price was approximately A$1500/ounce (versus current spot of almost A$6000/oz). The review by Kincora will explore the potential alternatives, budgets and partnering opportunities available to advance the alluvial (placer) gold potential either concurrent with the wider Condobolin project or as a standalone project.Figure 3: Kincora has increased the size of the total Condobolin project by a third and commenced an airborne geophysical survey across the historic Condobolin Mineral Field The extent of historical mining, existing near surface geochemical and geophysical anomalies provides excellent potential for multiple new discoveries as Kincora implements modern systematic exploration approaches that have already yielded the Meritilga discovery plus many recent discoveries in the north of the district at similar and earlier stage profile projectsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_image3_550.jpgFigure 4: The extent of historical mining, existing near surface geochemical and geophysical anomalies, coupled with limited modern exploration or exploration below the weathered zone provides excellent potential for multiple new discoveriesSouth-western portion of the Condobolin Project, including the Tilga Paleochannel where prior Clancy drilling supported the potential for alluvial (placer) goldTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_image4.jpgFigure 5: Limited prior modern exploration by Clancy resulted in the Meritilga discovery with follow up drilling planned to test down dip, on strike and the potential for repeat high grade lens and/or a stacked series of lenses.

HONG KONG, Oct 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Everest Medicines today announced that the first patient has been enrolled in a global multi-center Phase I clinical trial of its Tumor-Associated Antigen Cancer Vaccine EVM14 at NEXT Oncology Virginia in the United States. Previously, the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for EVM14 has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China. EVM14 becomes Everest Medicines’ first internally developed therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine to receive IND approvals from both China’s NMPA and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).EVM14, an off-the-shelf therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine, is developed based on Everest Medicines' proprietary mRNA platform. It is formulated with mRNA encoding 5 tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and is designed to treat various squamous cell carcinomas, including squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sq-NSCLC) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In the targeted cancer types, 96% of patients with sq-NSCLC and 97% of patients with HNSCC expressed at least one of the five target genes[1]. TTA vaccines offer distinct advantages, including elimination of HLA screening requirements, off-the-shelf availability, lower production costs versus personalized neoantigen vaccines, and applicability across multiple tumor types.“The cancer burden in China remains substantial. Neither immunotherapy nor targeted therapy can offer long term benefits to cancer patients. EVM14 is designed to treat various squamous cell carcinomas, EVM14’s unique mechanism offers the potential to complement current treatments by enhancing the efficacy via combination therapies and helping delay disease recurrence, aligning with current trends in oncology drug development.” said Professor Lu Shun, the Lead Principal Investigator in China and Director of the Oncology Department at Shanghai Chest Hospital.“The enrollment of the first patient with EVM14 in the United States marks an important achievement in advancing the global clinical development of our in-house mRNA platform.” said Rogers Yongging Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “This progress demonstrates Everest's continued efforts to translate technological innovation into clinical practice and our first move advantage in developing next-generation immuno-oncology therapies, including therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccines. EVM14 is Everest's first therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine to achieve IND approvals in both China and the U.S. The large patient population faces limited options with existing standard-of-care therapies, highlighting an unmet medical need. As a TAA cancer vaccine, EVM14's unique mechanism offers the potential to complement current treatments by enhancing the efficacy via combination therapies and helping delay disease recurrence, offering hope for long-term cancer-free survival. With EVM14 receiving IND approval from China's NMPA, we look forward to this innovative therapy demonstrating promising therapeutic potential in global multicenter clinical trials, bringing more treatment options to patients worldwide and enhance their quality of life.”Everest Medicines' Jiashan manufacturing site released the first GMP clinical trial batch in June 2025. This batch will support the clinical trials of EVM14 in both China and the United States. The clinical centers involved include NEXT Oncology Virginia, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the U.S., and Shanghai Chest Hospital in China.Leveraging the company's industry-leading mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccine platform and mRNA in vivo CAR-T platform, it is building a globally competitive R&D pipeline. EVM18, the in vivo CAR-T program, has completed multiple non-human primates (NHPs) trials and achieved preclinical proof-of-concept, with first-in-human data expected to initiate by the end of 2025. EVM16, the personalized therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine, has initiated its first-in-human trial in China, with patient dosing completed. In the investigator-initiated trial (IIT), dose escalation in the low- and mid-dose cohorts has been completed, with encouraging preliminary data observed. EVM15, the immune-modulatory cancer vaccine, has completed preclinical proof of concept and identified its clinical candidate.Looking ahead, Everest Medicines will continue to deepen its “dual-engine” strategy, maintaining a strong focus on advancing innovative drug discovery and development to drive sustainable growth and global expansion. The Company remains committed to delivering innovative therapies to patients, creating long-term value for shareholders, and driving forward with the vision of becoming a leading global biopharmaceutical company.[1] The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

"This is one of the most advanced and significant tungsten projects in the Western Hemisphere — and as we move toward Pre-Feasibility and production, we're proving that large-scale, U.S.-based projects can once again compete globally. But to secure that future, the government needs to move with the same urgency the market demands. If we want American metals for American industry, the time to act is now."CEO Brodie Sutherland added, "With more than 85 % of U.S. tungsten currently imported, Patriot's Nevada asset offers a direct pathway to reshoring a metal vital for defense, aerospace, semiconductors, and clean-energy technologies."Investment Highlights:Largest SEC-Compliant Tungsten Resource in the United States - 21.8 M short tons @ 0.18 % WO₃ (~78.7 M lbs contained)Tier-1 Mining Jurisdiction - Road access, grid power, and an experienced Nevada workforceOpen-Pit, Near-Surface Potential - Shallow geometry supports rapid, low-cost advancementNational Security Alignment - Tungsten is a designated critical mineral under the Defense Production ActAdvancing Toward PFS and Production - Engineering, permitting, and federal-program engagement now underwayQualified PersonsBrodie Sutherland, P.Geo, is a "Qualified Person" as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and has reviewed and approved the technical aspects of this news release.

香港，2025年10月12日 - (亚太商訊) - 香港中旅国际投资有限公司（「中旅国际」或「公司」，连同其附属公司统称「集团」）（股份代号：308）发布公告，宣布建议向股东实施建议分派。据此，中旅国际将旅游地产业务进行内部重组，使该业务由私人公司持有，并透过实物分派私人公司股份将旅游地产业务从集团分拆。集团此举将能够将不再从事亏损的旅游地产业务，简化营运，并在核心业务部署更多资源，以改善集团整体盈利能力及前景。基于建议分派，实物分派应按每股股份对应一股私人公司股份的基准实施；及根据现金替代应就选择现金的股东持有的每一股股份支付0.336港元现金代价，该金额约占公告日期前最后一个交易日联交所所报每股股份收市价1.53港元的22%。根据建议分派，股东可选择：根据其于记录日期在中旅国际的持股比例收取私人公司股份；或收取现金替代（若股东选择不接受及获取私人公司股份；根据适用法律和法规无法或不被允许持有私人公司股份，及/或未有响应选择、接受及获取私人公司股份的相关请求）。倘建议分派在股东特别大会上经股东批准，如有任何股东不希望参与建议分派，可在股份有权参与建议分派的最后一个交易日（预期为二零二五年十一月十七日（星期一），具体时间根据载于通函内的最终时间表而定）或之前出售股份。于建议分派完成后，私人公司将不再为中旅国际附属公司，并将由控股股东及选择实物分派的股东透过持有私人公司股份而持有，中旅国际将继续经营保留业务，而股份将继续于联交所上市。中旅国际董事认为建议分派符合公司及股东的最佳利益。原因包括：(i) 旅游地产业务于截至二零二五年六月三十日止六个月内持续表现欠佳。管理层预期，旅游地产业务的未来盈利能力存在若干不确定因素。物业开发属资本密集型业务，具有固有的周期性风险。透过建议分派，集团旨在降低整体债务水平，并尽量减少对波动性地产市场的风险；(ii)建议分派将使集团精简其营运，且可集中资源于旅游景区及其它具较高增长潜力且有助集团长远实现更佳盈利能力的业务；(iii)旅游景区业务较高的利润率被当前旅游地产业务较低的利润率摊薄，导致投资者难以单独评估旅游景区业务的价值。于建议分派后，集团将专注于配置更多资源及着重发展保留业务；及(iv)建议分派可为股东提选择权。由于私人公司将为私营公司，故亦将提供现金替代，此举可为不愿持有私营公司股份的股东提供流动性及灵活性。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Oct 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In October 2025, Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK) reached another key milestone in its robotics business. Following the viral success of its first “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” (provisional name) Robot Experience Store at Beijing Shougang Park, the company has officially brought the brand to Chengdu’s Chunxi Road, one of China’s most prominent retail landmarks.This marks the start of Shoucheng’s national expansion in consumer robotics and the acceleration of its “Industrial Investment–Consumer Scenario Integration” model.I. From Beijing to Chengdu: Nationwide Expansion UnderwayDuring the National Day holiday, Shoucheng’s inaugural robot experience brand, “Taozhu New Creation Bureau,” debuted at Beijing’s Rongshi Plaza (R+ Life Center). According to Beijing Daily, the store attracted over 3,000 daily visitors and generated sales in the tens of thousands of yuan. As China’s first long-term operational retail space dedicated to consumer robotics, the store showcases over 200 products from portfolio companies such as Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot and Booster Robotics. Covering categories from home companionship and education to healthcare and entertainment, the store allows the public to see, touch, and purchase robotic products—bringing “future technology” into everyday life.Building on that success, from October 7 to 15, Shoucheng brought “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” to Chengdu Chunxi Road, opening its first store in Southwest China while participating in the IAMHERE·Chunxi Future Robotics Interactive Exhibition.The exhibition featured more than 20 cutting-edge robotic products, spanning humanoid robots, AI foundational models, intelligent perception systems, and educational technologies.Chunxi Road, with annual foot traffic exceeding 200 million visitors, is widely recognized as the premier destination for brand debuts in Western China.A representative from Chengdu’s Jinjiang District commented, “Shoucheng’s decision to open its first Southwest store here reflects confidence in Chunxi Road’s consumption power and its influence on ‘first-launch’ brands. This will serve as a benchmark for the commercialization of tech products in China.”II. Consumer Robotics in Action: The Integration of Technology and LifestyleAt the Chengdu “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” exhibition area, humanoid and bionic robots from Songyan Dynamics, the Unitree B2 quadruped and G1 humanoid robots, AI companion robot Regis by Qimiao Labi, educational assistant robots by Aibingo, and AI chess-playing robots by SenseRobot drew significant public attention.Visitors gathered to interact with robots, take photos, and even place purchase inquiries.One attendee remarked, “I didn’t realize robots were already this close to daily life—my child’s been begging to take the chess robot home.”According to Chengdu Xingjin Commercial Investment Service Co., the exhibition drew over 12,000 visitors on the opening day, with several products achieving on-site sales conversions.Beyond its retail success, the event provided real-time consumer feedback, offering valuable insights for robotic product iteration and market readiness.Industry analysts note that Shoucheng’s experience-store-driven C-end model is becoming a practical path for bringing hard technology into everyday consumption. By combining immersive interaction with instant purchasing, Shoucheng is building a replicable template for retailing intelligent robots in China.III. From Industrial Investment to Consumer Application: Building a Full B2C EcosystemShoucheng’s presence in the robotics industry is not a short-term experiment.As one of China’s leading intelligent infrastructure asset operators, the company manages the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, with assets exceeding RMB 10 billion (approx. USD 1.4 billion), focusing on embodied intelligence and core component technologies.The company has invested in leading players including Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot, Galaxea, and Quanzhi Intelligence, establishing a complete value chain spanning upstream components, midstream manufacturing, and downstream applications.Its strategic logic follows a “Invest Early – Land Fast – Scale Quickly” model: Invest Early: Secure stakes in key robotics companies at early stages. Land Fast: Validate commercial readiness through real-world retail channels. Scale Quickly: Leverage user data to accelerate iteration and commercialization.A Shoucheng representative explained, “Commercial success in robotics depends not only on breakthroughs in technology but on real-world application. Through experience stores, we aim to bridge our investment portfolio with consumer behavior, turning advanced robotics into tangible lifestyle products.”IV. Southwest Headquarters: Integrating Industry, Consumption, and Regional EconomyBehind the Chengdu launch lies a broader regional strategy.Shoucheng has established its first Southwest regional robotics subsidiary in Chengdu’s Jinjiang District, which will serve as a regional headquarters integrating exhibition, retail, R&D, and scenario incubation functions. This hub will coordinate Shoucheng’s robotics operations, partnerships, and resource integration across the Sichuan–Chongqing–Yunnan economic region.V. A Chinese Model for Technology CommercializationFrom Beijing Shougang Park to Chengdu Chunxi Road, and from Beijing Capital Airport’s T3 pop-up store to its expanding regional headquarters, Shoucheng is translating its “Infrastructure Backbone + Technology Engine” strategy into practice.As a spokesperson from Shoucheng’s Board Office stated, “We want robots to move beyond laboratories and exhibitions—to become part of people’s daily lives.”Through this nationwide rollout, Shoucheng is evolving from investor to operator, and from a capital-driven enterprise to a consumer-driven innovator.This transition not only underscores the company’s strategic upgrade but also reflects a broader industry shift in China’s robotics sector—from technological breakthroughs to large-scale commercialization.As the “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” brand expands nationwide, Shoucheng has also launched a public naming campaign across its digital platforms.The company invites the public to propose alternative names that better capture the space’s vision of “bringing the future home.”The current name, “Taozhu,” references Fan Li, an ancient Chinese philosopher and statesman known for his wisdom and craftsmanship, symbolizing the fusion of technology and artistry. “New Creation Bureau” represents innovation and reinvention.However, the company hopes to involve the public in co-creating a name that resonates emotionally.According to Shoucheng Robotics Industry Co., “The future of robotic consumption is not a one-way narrative from companies to users—it’s a collaborative process of co-creation.”Submissions are open until November 1, 2025, via the company’s official WeChat account. The winning name will be presented at Shoucheng’s shareholders’ meeting for final approval and adoption.As the company emphasizes, “A name is not just a symbol—it’s the emotional bridge between enterprise and user.Over the coming year, “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” will continue to expand across China’s major cities, establishing a new consumer-driven innovation ecosystem where real-world retail experiences fuel industrial progress.Through its dual-engine model of investment + operation, Shoucheng Holdings is steadily building what could become China’s most comprehensive robotics commercialization platform.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

"With this mining lease now in place on the entire deposit, the Company is well-positioned to progress towards construction and eventual production in line with the Project's design parameters." EMC intends to update its Defined Feasibility Study ("DFS") in due course to reflect capital and operational efficiencies as well as potential to high-grade and customer requirements."The current DFS:is designed as a small surface mining operation, recovering approximately 75,000t of limonite ore from the resource per year,The average limonite scandium head grade to the mill facility over 20 years is 409ppm (before potential high-grading initiatives).The Project development and commissioning schedule includes a one year construction period, and a total 24 month ramp-up period to reach nameplate capacity of 75,000 tons per year ore throughput and approximately 38,500 kg of scandium oxide product per year, grading 98 to 99.9% Sc2O3.The 20 year mine life of the name plate capacity will use less than 20% of the entire Mineral Resource Estimate.Mr. Evensen continued: "The benefits of scandium have been known for several years, however, until now there has not been a reliable and abundant potential supply source of scandium outside of China and Russia or dependent on other commodity prices as a by-product.In the past twelve months, the Western world has made it a strategic priority to develop robust critical mineral supply chains that are not dependent on a single nation as a pinch point.My view, same as when the Evensen family first invested in the Company in 2014, is the Nyngan Scandium Project along with our peers in New South Wales provides the most economic primary source of supply of scandium to that robust supply.The shovel-ready Nyngan Scandium Project is prepared to meet western demand for scandium in existing use cases as well as emerging use cases being developed including semiconductors, solid-state batteries, and defense applications."ML 1893 (Act 1992) has been granted for an initial term of 21 years until October 2046 upon which time the operator of the project can apply for renewal and supersedes the underlapping Mining Lease No 1792 (Act 1992), enhancing EMC's ability to develop the Project across its full mine footprint design.Located 20 km west of Nyngan township in New South Wales, the Nyngan Scandium Project is positioned to become the world's first primary scandium-mining project. Scandium is a high-value metal with a growing market demand and is classed as a critical mineral by the Australian, Canadian and United States governments.The development of the Project also presents a significant opportunity for New South Wales to become a world leader for investment in sustainable mining of critical minerals.For inquiries to Scandium International Mining Corp, please contact:Peter Evensen, President and CEOTel: (775) 355-9500Harry de Jonge (Controller)Tel: (702) 703-0178Email: info@scandiummining.comCautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking InformationThis news release includes certain information that may be deemed "forward-looking information".
