SINGAPORE, Sept 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Academic Labs, the team building the first Universal Database of Knowledge for decentralized autonomous learning, has secured a strategic investment from Evergreen Profits.The announcement follows the recent listing of Academic Labs’ native token, $AAX, on Biconomy—an inflection point that broadens liquidity and participation while aligning incentives across developers, contributors, and institutional partners.What is Academic Labs?Academic Labs is architecting a transparent, interoperable knowledge layer where AI agents can autonomously learn, verify, and teach skills.By combining gamified learning, DAO-based governance, and data interoperability, the project aims to create a consensus-driven intelligence substrate that is open, verifiable, and portable across ecosystems.Since launching its MVP in January 2024, Academic Labs has seen rapid adoption—200,000 videos and challenges completed in the first month—alongside notable community and institutional engagement through hackathons and courses at QS Top 50 universities. Its Project Education initiative now supports over 20 ecosystems and reaches more than two million people worldwide.On the market front, the project recorded over $6M in first-day trading volume on Gate and completed BGA’s light incubation program under Bybit.Strategic Timing: Post-$AAX Biconomy ListingThe timing of Evergreen Profits’ investment is strategically significant. With $AAX newly listed on Biconomy, Academic Labs gains distribution that can anchor real utility: staking for curation and quality assurance, contributor rewards for challenge creation and validation, and governance participation in how the Universal Knowledge Graph is expanded and audited.Investor Fit and ComplementarityEvergreen Profits’ thesis-driven approach—built on adapting to cyclical market regimes—complements this next phase by emphasizing operational discipline, risk-aware growth, and standards that support long-term composability. Their portfolio experience across AI, data, and Web3 is expected to inform Academic Labs’ interoperability roadmap and agent-facing APIs.The investment will be directed toward three priorities.First, deepening the core protocol: advancing the Universal Knowledge Graph, extending agent APIs, and implementing on-chain verifiable credentials for proof-of-skill.Second, strengthening governance and incentives: refining DAO mechanisms for reputation, staking, and curation to ensure that knowledge ingestion and validation are transparent, auditable, and resistant to manipulation.Third, accelerating ecosystem growth: expanding university partnerships, developer programs, and cross-chain integrations so that content supply, challenge design, and agent training data scale in tandem with quality controls.What distinguishes this partnership is its emphasis on verifiability and portability. In an environment increasingly shaped by agentic AI, the bottleneck is not model capacity but trustworthy, structured knowledge and the signals that govern its use.By coupling $AAX’s broadened liquidity with Evergreen Profits’ cycle-aware capital and operational guidance, Academic Labs aims to turn raw educational content into an on-chain, consensus-curated knowledge asset that AI agents can query, learn from, and contribute back to—while users retain visibility into provenance and incentives.About Academic LabsAcademic Labs is building the 1st Universal Database of Knowledge that empowers decentralized autonomous learning for AI agents that assist users in acquiring skills and knowledge, fostering consensus-based intelligence for all of human society. Through gamification, DAOs, and data interoperability, we offer a limitless, transparent, and personalized channel for sharing and learning various skills.Trade AAX: https://www.biconomy.com/exchange/AAX_USDTSocial LinksX: https://x.com/Acad_LabsTelegram Group: https://t.me/academic_labsLinktree: https://linktr.ee/academic_labsDiscord: https://discord.gg/academic-labsMedia ContactBrand: Academic LabsContact: Media teamWebsite: https://acad.live Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Sep 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The recent Presidential Proclamation from the White House, instituting a substantial one-time fee of US$100,000 for new H-1B visa holders entering the United States, has created uncertainty for employers and professionals navigating the global talent market. While the policy aims to incentivize domestic hiring, it also accelerates the need for cost-effective and compliant international workforce solutions. Galaxy Payroll Group Limited (Nasdaq: GLXG) ("Galaxy" or the "Company"), a leading global payroll provider in the Asia-Pacific region, is committed to helping companies navigate these changes with its specialized suite of services.Rising Demand for EOR and International Payroll ServicesThe new regulation significantly increases the cost and complexity of relocating international talent to the U.S. In response, multinational corporations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups with limited budgets, are expected to seek alternative deployment models to maintain access to a global talent pool without incurring prohibitive expenses.To circumvent the hefty fee and intricate visa processes, businesses are increasingly likely to adopt remote hiring models, engaging talent directly in their home countries. This shift drives demand for Employer of Record (EOR) and international payroll outsourcing services, which allow companies to legally employ staff abroad without establishing a local entity."This policy has created challenges for employers and workers alike," said Mr. Wai Hong Lao, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Our expertise in payroll outsourcing and employment services across Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and Mainland China in the Asia-Pacific region positions us to help companies navigate these changes and ensure full compliance with local regulations."Enhanced Capabilities with Stablecoin SettlementsGalaxy Payroll Group has further enhanced its service offerings by supporting payroll settlements in stablecoins. This innovative payment method provides companies with a more efficient, transparent, and cost-effective solution for managing cross-border payroll, especially for remote employees. By leveraging stablecoins, Galaxy Payroll Group helps companies reduce the risks associated with currency fluctuations and streamline their international payroll processes.Accelerated Adoption of Integrated Payroll TechnologyAs companies build more distributed teams, the need for streamlined, transparent, and efficient cross-border payroll management becomes critical. Galaxy Payroll Group’s focused technological solutions are designed to simplify multi-jurisdiction payroll processing, tax calculations, and compliance reporting within its operational regions. This capability aligns perfectly with the growing need to manage dispersed teams effectively, making integrated payroll technology a necessity rather than a luxury.Broad Market Opportunity for All U.S. EmployersThe new policy presents significant challenges for companies of all sizes, from SMEs to large multinational corporations like Microsoft, which employ a large number of H-1B visa holders. Galaxy Payroll Group’s comprehensive suite of services, including EOR, international payroll outsourcing, and stablecoin settlements, offers scalable and flexible solutions tailored to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes.

This project is expected to be finalized in Q1 2027."SCGJWD prioritizes the expansion of its logistics clusters in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore, all of which are leading ASEAN countries with high growth potential. However, due to their archipelago-like geography, freight transport requires expertise and a truly comprehensive service network including solutions to meet the specific needs and addressing logistics and supply chain issues for customers. Therefore, we offer a wide range of services, including land, rail, and water transport; cold storage; general warehousing; and international freight forwarding, to meet the logistics needs of customers in each country and to ship goods from Singapore to Malaysia, the Philippines, or Indonesia," Mr Bunn said.Mr. Charvanin Bunditkitsada, Co-CEO of SCGJWD, stated that the 'CLMV + China' markets are strategically important for SCGJWD's cold storage business, with a broad market base covering both domestic consumption and import-export markets. This collaboration enables SCGJWD to connect and enhance its cross-border transportation services for temperature-controlled goods and general goods on the Thailand-ASEAN-China route. This has also led SCGJWD to adapt its transportation models and routes, including providing cross-border transportation services from other countries to Cambodia during the border closure period.SCGJWD, in collaboration with its partner RMA, has expanded its cold storage warehouse in Cambodia by 1,200 m2, bringing the total floor area to 3,400 m2, with an investment of US$550,000 (approximately 17.5 million baht). Recently, the Company partnered with Express Food Group (EFG), Cambodia's major operator of food chain franchises, including The Pizza Company, Dairy Queen, and Swensen's, to import and transport cooking equipment from Thailand to Cambodia. The Company offered a solution during border closure by adjusting the transportation route through Laos and Vietnam to Cambodia, as well as by sea routes. Furthermore, the Company provided services to 'TOUS les JOURS', a customer of EFG, to transport baking ingredients from Vietnam to its 6-7 branches in Cambodia. The Company also plans to expand its logistics services through a collaboration with its Vietnamese partner Transimex, which is a comprehensive end-to-end logistics provider, to supply temperature-controlled freight services for BigC.SCGJWD's goal is to make cold storage and temperature-controlled transportation a core growth driver, which aligns with the overall projection of the cold storage business in ASEAN from 2022 to 2027. A good example is Indonesia, whose total cold storage market is expected to increase by nearly 80%, from US$6.9 to US$12.5 billion. The Philippines' market is likewise expected to increase by 46.5% from US$5 to US$7.4 billion. Malaysia's market is expected to increase by 29.5% from US$1.836 to US$2.377 billion, and Singapore's market is forecast to increase by 25.6 percent from US$829 million to US$1.041 billion, while Vietnam's market is projected to increase by 47.2% from US$4.3 to US$6.4 billion, and Thailand's market is expected to increase by 38.7% from US$3.4 to US$4.7 billion.In Thailand, SCGJWD is currently expanding its investment in ten cold storage warehouses in six provinces, covering strategic industrial areas of Samut Sakhon, Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Chachoengsao, and Saraburi, as well as the northern province of Chiang Mai, with a combined floor area of over 160,000 square meters, able to support over 100,000 tons of goods or 240,000 pallets.

LONDON, Sept 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new life cycle assessment of 31 dry dog foods in the UK reveals that plant-based diets consistently outperform meat-based alternatives across every major environmental measure. Conducted by University of Nottingham veterinary researchers Rebecca Brociek and Professor David Gardner, and published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, the study underscores a major opportunity for pet owners and the pet food industry to shrink their ecological "pawprint."Key ResultsGreenhouse gas emissions: Plant-based foods produced just 2.82 kg CO₂-eq per 1,000 kcal, compared to 31.47 kg for beef-based formulas - over ten times higher.Land use: Plant-based diets required 2.73 m² per 1,000 kcal, versus 102.15 m² for beef-based products.Water use: Plant-based options consumed 249 L of freshwater per 1,000 kcal, far less than beef (575 L) or lamb (684 L).Nutrient and acidification pollution: Beef-based diets generated 14-16 times more acidifying and eutrophying emissions respectively, than plant-based equivalents.Middle ground: Poultry-based and semi-synthetic veterinary formulas had lower impacts than red meat, but still much higher than plant-based foods.Over a typical nine-year lifespan, feeding a 20 kg Labrador exclusively on plant-based dry food would require 8,964 m² of land and emit greenhouse gases equal to 2.8 London-New York return flights. The same dog fed on beef-based food would need 334,851 m² of land and emit the equivalent of 31.3 such flights.Why It MattersWith pet ownership on the rise worldwide and demand for pet foods increasing, the environmental impact of animal-based ingredients can no longer be overlooked. The researchers conclude that increasing plant-based ingredients in pet diets provides a practical and scalable way to reduce land use, emissions, nutrient pollution, and water stress - without compromising caloric value.They note, "feeding your dog plant-based will significantly improve a households' environmentally sustainability", and that, "… lower-impact pet food ingredients will be essential in reducing the [pet food] sector's ecological paw print."While some suggest that using meat by-products like ‘meat meals' is more sustainable, the study found these often ranked among the highest-impact ingredients, failing to bridge the gap.Broader ContextThis work supports earlier research. In 2023, veterinary professor Andrew Knight demonstrated that switching pet dogs worldwide to nutritionally sound vegan diets could save greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 1.5 times the UK's annual output, while providing enough food energy to feed 450 million people, equivalent to the EU population. By late 2025, at least 11 peer-reviewed studies had also shown positive health outcomes for dogs fed plant-based diets.As Prof. Knight explained, "Higher proportions of plant-based ingredients, or nutritionally complete plant-based diets, can substantially reduce the ecological footprints of companion animals. As awareness grows, such diets may shift from niche to mainstream - aligning our care for pets with responsibility for the planet."Contact InformationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.au+44 7577 899 61SOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

PALO ALTO, CA, Sept 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Nanofiber Quantum Technologies, Inc. (NanoQT), a quantum computing company pioneering ultra-low-loss nanofiber cavity-QED interconnects for quantum processors, today announced the first closing of its $14 million Series A financing. Phoenix Venture Partners (PVP), an existing investor, led the round with participation from Brevan Howard Macro Venture Fund, a new investor. WASEDA University Ventures, Inc. (WUV), JAFCO Group Co Ltd, Mirai Creation Fund III (SPARX Asset Management Co., Ltd.), and Keio Innovation Initiative, Inc. (KII), each existing investors, also participated.NanoQT’s Proprietary Nanofiber-CavityThe financing follows more than US$20 million in government R&D grants across Japan and the United States that support NanoQT's roadmap. "An interconnect engineered for QPUs is the missing link in today's market and will soon be a major bottleneck to achieving scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing," said Masashi Hirose, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder of NanoQT. "Our proprietary nanofiber-cavity interconnect is highly demanded not only for scaling up quantum computing but also for integrating QPUs with quantum communication capabilities.""We are delighted to continue supporting NanoQT's breakthrough," said Nobi Kambe, Ph.D., Managing General Partner at Phoenix Venture Partners (PVP). "NanoQT has demonstrated steady R&D progress, and we believe the company will deliver a disruptive impact in the quantum computing and networking field." "NanoQT is the best positioned in the quantum field to disrupt interconnects."Why It MattersThe quantum interconnect is an emerging, critical device class-essential not only for modularizing quantum processors but also for extending them into networked and communication-enabled systems. NanoQT's approach is an ultra-low-loss nanofiber cavity that functions as an end-to-end fiber-optic interconnect, enabling extremely efficient conversion of qubit signals into photonic signals-a capability fundamentally grounded in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED).NanoQT's initial product is highly engineered for neutral-atom QPUs, which today represent one of the most scalable quantum computing architectures. Yet these systems will face per-unit scalability limits within a few years. NanoQT's interconnect provides a path beyond those limits, while also positioning the company to address the emerging quantum repeater market, which is essential for building long-distance quantum networks.Use of Proceeds and Next MilestonesDemonstration of a distributed quantum computing system using NanoQT's interconnect and standard fiber linksProductization of the nanofiber cavity-QED interconnect for neutral-atom QPUsExpansion of engineering and manufacturing capacity in College Park, Maryland, and TokyoAbout NanoQTNanoQT is a quantum-hardware company building ultra-low-loss nanofiber cavity-QED interconnects that physically integrate with quantum processors to enable modular and networked quantum computing as well as compatibility with quantum communication.

Key Takeaways:WORK Medical has formed a new alliance with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association and was appointed as the organization’s “council vice chairman.”The company has also entered into a collaboration with Ruijin Hospital’s Wuxi Branch to accelerate the development of a next-generation, AI-driven smart clinical ecosystemHONG KONG, Sep 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong kicked off a new era in its embrace of virtual assets on Aug. 1 with the official launch of a regulatory and licensing framework for virtual currencies known as stablecoins. A steady stream of Chinese companies has begun experimenting in the city with virtual assets and their underlying blockchain technology since then, covering a wide range of industries.Medical products seller WORK Medical Technology Group Ltd. (WOK.US) became the latest to join that parade, as it unveiled a major new initiative to explore real world asset (RWA) tokenization and related blockchain technology in a partnership with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association, which promotes the high-quality development of the global Web3.0 industry through standardization research and efforts.The deal comes just over a year after WORK Medical listed on the Nasdaq, and is part of the company’s evolving “Healthcare + Payment + Technology = RWA + Web3 + AI” strategy. WORK Medical also plans to strategically collaborate with one or more qualified firms from the financial sector, which would provide a key compliance channel for its asset tokenization ambitions.Tokenized RWA, or real-world assets with value that have been digitalized, is projected to surge to over $50 billion by the end of this year, according to a report published in May by digital currency market-making firm Keyrock and tokenization platform Centrifuge. The report also pointed out that tokenized RWA will be dominated by U.S. treasuries, whose value alone will push the sector size to over $28 billion. Three areas for collaborationWORK Medical laid out three main areas for collaboration with its new Hong Kong partner. The first area involves the tokenization of “high-quality assets owned or invested in by WORK Medical,” the company said. It pointed out it can leverage both its status as a Nasdaq-listed company, as well as its expertise and assets related to its medical device business, including AI healthcare assets. It wasn’t more specific, but assets it could probably tokenize might include its receivables, investment products and intellectual property.The second area WORK Medical’s new partnership will explore is equity investments, which could include co-investments or participation in funds and other financial vehicles to accelerate its move into RWA for potential tokenization and achieve shared strategic goals.The third area involves development of RWA technology, which would leverage the Hong Kong Web30 Association’s recently launched RWA registration platform. That platform facilitates collaboration on a range of related functions, including blockchain-based title verification, asset issuance, and cross-chain transactions, while ensuring regulatory compliance and asset security.The company’s recent activities indicate it is already accumulating the expertise to develop and manage such assets. In February, it announced a partnership with another medical device company that included the potential establishment of “joint investment funds to align industrial and financial resources.” It said that partnership could also involve investment in healthcare infrastructure, development of advanced technologies and global acquisitions.WORK Medical’s new partnership puts it at the head of a nascent but rapidly growing wave of Chinese companies looking for new business opportunities in the fast-emerging business of digitalized RWAs. Any company owning or possessing rights to RWAs, both their own and assets owned by others, can technically enter the space.Building smart clinical ecosystemOn Monday, WORK Medical also announced another new partnership with the Wuxi Branch of the Ruijin Hospital-Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Under the partnership, WORK Medical will support Xin Rui Hospital’s efforts to advance hospital informatization. It will also assist in efforts to integrate AI with the hospital’s multimodal medical data, such as text, imaging, and lab results.https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/09/22/3153945/0/en/WORK-Medical-Technology-Group-LTD-Partners-with-Wuxi-Branch-of-Ruijin-Hospital-Shanghai-Jiao-Tong-University-School-of-Medicine-to-Develop-AI-Applications-in-Healthcare.htmlThe two sides plan to enhance WORK Medical’s multimodal AI solutions from single-image to complex data types by leveraging Xin Rui Hospital’s clinical and expert resources. The collaboration aims to develop AI models for diverse healthcare scenarios, establishing a framework for data governance, model training, and clinical translation. WORK Medical Chairman and CEO Wu Shuang said the two new partnerships – with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association for RWA innovation and with Xin Rui Hospital for AI-driven healthcare – are strategic moves aimed at unlocking new growth avenues and building long-term value.The company’s inaugural annual earnings report for its fiscal year through September 2024, issued earlier this year, also contains hints that it was dabbling in financial markets, not only through its IPO but also through other investing activities, in the year before its listing.https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/work-medical-technology-group-ltd-reports-financial-results-for-fiscal-year-2024-302377075.htmlWORK Medical’s new alliance could take it in a completely new direction from its core business of producing and selling masks and other medical products like artery compression tourniquets. As the Covid pandemic receded and demand for masks declined, leading to falling prices, the company’s revenue from its mask business fell 69% in its fiscal year through September 2024 to $1.6 million from $5.1 million the previous year. That was partly offset by an 18% increase in its revenue for other medical devices, which rose to $9.4 million from $8 million.Its latest financial report also shows that WORK Medical has engaged in commodities trading, which generated $400,000 in income in its latest fiscal year through September 2024. The company also derived a sizable $15.7 million in cash from financing activities for the fiscal year, up sharply from a year earlier and greater than the $11.5 million in revenue it generated from sales of its core medical products for the year.In the finance sector, supply chain financier Linklogis late last month also formed a partnership with XRP Ledger, the organization overseeing the ripple cryptocurrency, aimed at exploring the digitalization and tokenization of RWA.Source: The Bamboo WorksBy Doug Young Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

香港，2025年9月24日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近年来，地缘政治不确定性加剧、全球货币宽松周期频发，黄金的避险属性与金融属性愈发凸显，成为全球央行与投资者的重要配置资产。2025年以来，国际金价持续上扬，不断刷新历史高位，截至9月18日，国际现货黄金价格累计涨约40%。在地缘政治、经济冲突、货币体系动荡等结构性因素未根本改变，迭加央行购金、投资需求等支撑，黄金资产中长期配置价值持续凸显，黄金开采企业将从中受益。紫金黄金国际有限公司（「紫金黄金国际」，股份代号：2259.HK）作为紫金矿业海外黄金资产整合平台，承接了紫金矿业（601899.SH，02899.HK）在中国境外的全部8座黄金矿山，业务覆盖中亚、南美洲、大洋洲及非洲等黄金资源富集区，有望凭借独特优势承接行业红利。9月19日，紫金黄金国际启动港股招股，招股价每股71.59港元，按每手100股计，入场费7,231.19港元，摩根士丹利及中信证券为联席保荐人。收并购能力驱动快速扩张，打造全球市场领先地位过去近20年，紫金黄金国际聚焦高潜力黄金矿山及价值被低估的低品位、难选冶黄金矿山，在南美洲、大洋洲、中亚和非洲等黄金资源富集区完成多起关键收购，迅速搭建起多元化黄金矿山资产组合。这一扩张路径的成功，离不开其卓越的并购能力与紫金矿业的深度协同支撑。依托紫金矿业全球领先的矿业公司地位，借助其丰富的大型金属矿山勘查建设运营经验并辅以自身专业高效的资源并购和勘查能力，紫金黄金国际能够准确识别并收购全球范围内的潜在高价值资产，并在收购完成后以具成本效益方式，积极利用强大的内部能力进行自主地质勘查和开发，从而在不断变化的黄金行业中稳步扩大资源和产量，同时保持低成本和高效率。在并购成本控制上，2019-2024年，紫金黄金国际按黄金资源计的平均收购成本仅约为每盎司61.3美元，较同期每盎司92.9美元的行业平均水平低34%。而在并购后整合环节，公司「识别价值-提升价值」的能力尤为突出，苏里南罗斯贝尔金矿、塔吉克斯坦吉劳╱塔罗金矿和圭亚那奥罗拉金矿等多个收购前亏损的矿山，在收购后1-2年内即实现扭亏为盈，充分验证了其整合效率与运营实力。凭借高效的并购扩张与精益运营，紫金黄金国际的全球市场地位持续提升。截至2024年底，公司黄金储量达27.5百万盎司（856.0 吨），位列全球第九；2024 年黄金产量达1.3百万盎司（40.4吨），排名全球第十一位。2022-2024年，公司黄金产量复合年增长率高达21.4%，在全球大型公司中增速领先，成为行业内名副其实的「增长先锋」。技术与成本优势构筑竞争壁垒 赋能长期盈利增长在黄金开采行业资源品位下降、开采成本上升的趋势下，技术实力与成本控制能力成为企业核心竞争力的关键。紫金黄金国际凭借与紫金矿业的技术协同、自主创新的工艺突破，以及精细化的成本管理，构筑起坚实的竞争壁垒，为长期盈利增长提供强劲支撑。技术层面，紫金黄金国际承袭紫金矿业低品位、难选冶资源开发技术，并广泛利用热压预氧化和生物浸出等专有技术，有效开发利用低品位难处理矿石，显著提升了矿山经济价值。以塔罗金矿为例，该矿矿石含铜、银、砷、碳、硫等多种元素，且金的嵌布粒度微细，开发难度极大，公司针对性开发了含砷含碳金精矿及铜精矿POX工艺技术，解决了金矿难选冶的问题，使其黄金回收率在2022年至2024年由78%提升至81%，2023年建成的精炼厂应用紫金矿业技术后，塔吉克斯坦吉劳╱塔罗金矿产生额外利润约5700万美元。在勘探环节，紫金黄金国际利用控股股东紫金矿业的先进地质勘查技术和自主研发设备，通过整合该等尖端技术和设备，以较低成本实现显著增储。2019年至2025年上半年，公司于此期间运营的矿山的黄金资源量平均勘探成本低至11.7美元╱盎司，远低于同期行业平均的32.3美元╱盎司，持续夯实资源基础。成本控制方面，紫金黄金国际采用紫金矿业独创的「矿石流五环归一」矿山项目管理程序，统筹勘查、采矿、选矿、冶炼和环境保护五大环节，有效降低建设生产成本，实现项目经济社会效益最大化。2024年，公司全维持成本（AISC）为每盎司1,458美元，在全球前十五大黄金开采公司中排名第六低；2022至2024年及2025年上半年，公司运营的七个矿山中，每吨矿石开采成本分别为38.7美元、31.3美元、34.3美元及32.7美元，每吨磨矿选矿成本分别为20.6美元、18.2美元、19.4美元及17.2美元，低成本优势显著。成本优势直接推动盈利水平提升。2022-2024年，紫金黄金国际归母净利润分别为183.7百万美元、230.4百万美元及481.4百万美元，复合年增长率达61.9%，增长势头强劲。2024年股本回报率（ROE）达21.4%，保持较高的资本回报，「技术降本-盈利提升」 的良性循环已经形成。在黄金资产稀缺性加剧、行业集中度提升的趋势下，紫金黄金国际凭借低溢价并购的扩张能力，技术驱动的成本优势、以及与紫金矿业的深度协同，已成长为全球黄金开采行业的增长黑马，展现出强劲的发展韧性与投资价值。当前公司正在港股招股，作为连接全球资本与优质黄金资产的重要目标，有望为市场提供兼具成长潜力与收益稳定性的投资选择。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港，2025年9月23日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) – 若要评选今年港股市场中表现最突出的板块，创新药无疑占据一席之地。在政策暖风持续吹拂下，港股18A公司整体走势强劲。根据WIND数据，截至2025年9月22日收盘，君圣泰医药（2511.HK）年内累计涨幅超过233.07%，成为市场中一道亮眼的风景线。股价强劲表现的背后，是资本市场对公司创新实力的高度认可。在全球医药创新不断推进的背景下，君圣泰医药深耕代谢性疾病领域，依托核心产品HTD1801独特的"一药多效"特性，正在心肾代谢综合征（Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome, CKM）治疗领域引领一场静默的范式变革。该药物在多适应症拓展、作用机制创新及商业化推进等方面接连实现突破，显示出可观的临床价值和市场前景。值得深思的是，在当前竞争日趋激烈的降糖药物市场中，君圣泰医药何以突破重围，实现从单一"降糖药企"到"心肾代谢领军企业"的跨越式蜕变？背后的投资逻辑是什么？图表一：公司股价走势图数据来源：WIND，格隆汇整理 数据截至2025年9月16日收盘HTD1801：CKM领域的"一药多效"破局者从市场空间看，君圣泰医药正切入一个被长期低估的千亿级市场--心肾代谢综合征（CKM）领域，该领域存在显著的未满足临床需求。CKM是一种涉及多器官交互的复杂疾病状态，涵盖心脏疾病、慢性肾病（CKD）以及多种代谢紊乱，如2型糖尿病、肥胖和血脂异常等。其病理机制复杂，患者常同时面临心、肾功能异常、高血糖、高血压、脂代谢异常和慢性炎症等多重威胁。据公司中期报告及临床资料显示，2032年全球代谢疾病市场规模将达到4580亿美元。CKM在全球影响近90%的美国成年人和80%的中国成年人，其中糖尿病患者人数已接近5.9亿。尤其在中国，糖尿病肾病（DKD）已成为导致终末期肾病的主要原因之一，而现有标准治疗在逆转肾功能衰退和全面控制代谢异常方面仍存在明显局限。面对这一巨大治疗空白，君圣泰医药的核心产品HTD1801通过独特的"AMPK激活 + NLRP3抑制"双重机制，展现出系统性的治疗优势。AMPK是细胞能量调节的核心靶点，激活后能够改善糖脂代谢并提升胰岛素敏感性；NLRP3则是炎症小体的关键组成部分，抑制后可显著降低全身炎症水平。该双靶点协同机制精准打击胰岛素抵抗这一共同病理基础，在多项临床研究中展现出抗炎及心肾保护的多维度收益。近期多项临床数据的披露，进一步夯实了HTD1801"一药多效"的综合价值。目前，HTD1801正在全球范围内开发，用于治疗CKM相关疾病，包括2型糖尿病(T2DM)、代谢相关脂肪性肝炎(MASH)、慢性肾病(CKD)、肥胖症、原发性硬化性胆管炎(PSC)及严重高甘油三酯血症(SHTG)。其中，在2型糖尿病方向，公司在行业顶尖学术年会上展露头角，展现出单药以及联合用药的优异表现。2025年6月美国糖尿病协会（ADA）年会公布的III期SYMPHONY 1研究显示，HTD1801单药治疗T2DM患者24周后HbA1c降低1.3%（基线≥8.5%亚组达1.5%），显著改善血脂（LDL-C及non-HDL-C）、炎症标志物（hs-CRP、GGT），并降低10年冠心病发生风险。2025年9月欧洲糖尿病研究协会（EASD）年会上，公司发布的III期SYMPHONY 2研究证实，在二甲双胍控制不佳的T2DM患者中，HTD1801联合二甲双胍治疗24周后HbAc1的最小二乘（LS）均值变化为 -1.21%，显著优于安慰剂（LS均值差异 -0.53%，p＜0.0001），同时餐后血糖、空腹血糖、心血管、肾脏等指标均获显著改善。两项数据披露的背后，展现出HTD1801这款全球首创的抗炎代谢调节剂不仅作为单药或联合二甲双胍治疗均显示出强劲降糖效果，更展现出超越血糖的心肾代谢综合获益。这使得HTD1801的想象空间从传统的降糖药，拓展为一个可能用于治疗整个心肾代谢系统（CKM）的综合性药物。尤为值得关注的是，HTD1801在慢性肾病（CKD）领域同样展现出治疗潜力。临床III期的事后分析显示，在合并轻度肾损伤（eGFR基线 60–89 mL/min/1.73m²）的T2DM患者中，HTD1801可显著改善eGFR，且未引起血钠、血钾等电解质紊乱，提示其良好的肾脏安全性及治疗潜力。临床前研究也进一步证实，HTD1801可改善肾功能标志物如血肌酐、尿素氮等指标。基于这些积极信号，公司已明确规划推进HTD1801用于CKD的II期临床研究。同时，2025年8月与中国医学科学院医药生物技术研究所达成合作，共同开展"糖尿病伴慢性肾病（CKD with T2DM）"的机制与临床研究，这一举动不仅有望拓宽HTD1801的适应症边界，更凸显公司通过产学研协同深化CKM整体治疗战略的意图。图表二：HTD1801通过多重机制维持代谢稳态数据来源：公司公告，格隆汇整理从临床到商业：君圣泰医药的升维之战开启从公司整体布局来看，君圣泰医药的未来发展远不止于当前成果，市场想象空间正在进一步打开。首先，公司研发投入持续加强，管线协同效应显著。根据中报数据，君圣泰医药在报告期内研发投入达1.064亿元，项目保持高效推进。目前公司拥有7款候选药物，覆盖10种适应症。其中HTD1801作为核心产品，正在全球开展多项中后期临床试验。这种"一药多适应症"的矩阵式布局，不仅最大化发挥了HTD1801的多机制优势，也显著提升了研发效率和资金使用效能。其次，2025年成为君圣泰医药的商业化元年，价值兑现在即，"一药多效"治疗新范式正稳步落地。根据公司规划，T2DM适应症即将正式启动新药上市申请（NDA），伴随申报进程推进，其商业潜力有望快速释放。在CKD领域，II期研究已在筹备中；此外，HTD1801与GLP-1RA联合用于肥胖治疗显示出协同减重和肌肉保护效应，相关II期研究也在积极推进中，进一步拓展了其联合用药的想象空间。图表三：公司管线情况数据来源：公司公告，格隆汇整理最后，从估值层面看，公司有望迎来价值体系重构。尽管当前股价部分反映了HTD1801在T2DM领域的潜力，但其在心肾代谢（CKM）这一更广阔赛道中的价值尚未被充分定价。凭借"一药多效"的独特优势，HTD1801有望成为CKM的基础治疗药物之一。随着CKM相关临床数据的持续读出和适应症的不断拓展，君圣泰医药有望从单一代谢疾病药企，跃升为心肾代谢领域的龙头公司，驱动整体估值体系重构。小结在国家鼓励源头创新、中医药现代化政策支持的大背景下，HTD1801基于传统天然产物（熊去氧胆酸与小檗碱）进行结构优化，兼具"异病同治、标本兼治"的中医理念与现代国际临床开发标准，具备较强的文化认同与政策适配性。当众多药企仍扎堆于GLP-1等红海领域时，君圣泰医药凭借HTD1801的"一药多效"优势，已悄然切入心肾代谢这一系统性疾病市场。其升维之战，才刚刚开始。文章来源：格隆汇 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.
