香港，2025年9月16日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) – 传统医药产业与链上金融的深度融合，正为全球非处方药资产开启一扇数字化、全球化的价值之门。9月16日，华检医疗（01931.HK）发布公告宣布，公司与仁和药业（000650.SZ）之间接全资附属公司仁和国际达成战略合作，共同于美国筹建全球首个专注于非处方药（OTC）领域的垂直RWA交易所。华检医疗9月16日发布之公告此举是华检医疗「ETHK链上金融生态战略」及「全球RWA交易·所中所」商业模式成功落地的关键第一步与标杆案例，旨在打造一个可规模复制的样板，验证该创新模式的可行性及巨大潜力。一、强强联合，构建全球OTC RWA交易新生态华检医疗与仁和药业的合作代表了传统产业与金融科技的创新融合。仁和药业作为中国非处方药物（OTC）协会会长单位，在中国OTC市场拥有极具竞争力的稳固份额和广泛的行业号召力。而华检医疗则依托其前瞻性的技术布局，构建了覆盖区块链底层架构、智能合约开发、资产数字化发行及流通结算的全栈式技术解决方案。此次合作将充分发挥双方独特优势。仁和药业将其在中国市场无与伦比的线下渠道网络及线上营销能力与华检医疗提供的全球合规技术架构相结合，产生强大的"乘法效应"。这种"中国领先渠道网络+全球合规数字化平台"的独特组合，构成了难以被竞争对手复制的核心竞争壁垒。二、创新模式，破解RWA发展核心瓶颈长期以来，RWA的巨大潜力始终受限于几大核心瓶颈：公链性能的限制、传统与加密世界的资金壁垒、复杂的跨境监管以及普遍存在的流动性不足等问题。华检医疗通过创新的「所中所」商业模式，为各行业龙头企业提供顶尖的技术基础设施与合规运营支持。这种模式使其能够以轻资产方式运行，通过与行业龙头合作快速切入不同领域，具备极强的可复制性和规模化扩张潜力。华检医疗「ETHK全球RWA交易·所中所」战略模式之核心运作逻辑如下：赋能核心资产端（聚合优质资产源）：依托本集团在全球RWA交易所技术生态及创新金融科技应用领域的深厚积淀，为各行业领域中拥有核心资产且具备代币化需求的上市公司，量身定制并共同搭建其垂直行业领域专属RWA交易所。通过提供资产筛选、结构设计、合规发行与流动性管理的一站式解决方案，助力合作企业实现资产数字化转型，优化资本结构，拓展全球战略布局，最终推动产业升级与价值重塑。对接核心资本端（构建全球流动性网络）：致力于为全球知名的银行、基金、信托公司等持牌金融机构，提供安全、高效、合规的全球RWA资产配置通道与数字化交易解决方案。通过构建多层次、国际化的资本接入体系，汇聚全球顶级投资机构的专业资本与流动性，深度参与RWA资产的定价、流通与价值重构，提升全球资产配置效率。生态协同与链接：本战略的核心在于联合与链接全球各个生态领域的上市公司（核心资产方）和金融机构（核心资金方），共筑链上金融新生态。本集团依托「ETHK」品牌生态，分别从链上金融基础设施技术服务能力（由ETHK Labs及/或旗下专业主体提供）与链上金融全球合规运营支持（由ETHK Inc等附属公司提供）两大层面，为合作方提供坚实后盾，深化「ETHK全球RWA交易·所中所」战略的构建与落实。此次合作的OTC垂直领域RWA交易所将实现多项创新突破：支持多链部署、支持法币与稳定币双通道申赎、通过自研智能合约提供实时赎回功能。这些技术创新有效地解决了RWA领域的监管合规、跨链操作及流动性问题，为传统金融资产上链提供了可复制的解决方案。三、双向赋能，开启全球OTC市场新纪元该OTC RWA交易所将构建一个双向畅通的全球化资本与产品流通渠道。一方面推动中国资产出海：平台将助力仁和药业及其关联的中国优秀OTC企业，将其知识产权资产通过RWA代币化的方式进行结构性重塑，并面向全球专业及机构投资者进行融资与流通。另一方面引进全球高科技资产：积极引入美国、日本等OTC产业发达地区的创新、高端产品与技术，例如美国以"Hims & Hers"为代表的直接面向消费者（DTC）健康科技模式下的创新产品，以及来自日本的顶尖酵素产品、功能性化妆品和功能性食品等。这种双向流动不仅有利于中国OTC企业获取全球资本认可，也为国内消费者引入了全球最前沿的健康科技成果，满足日益升级的健康与美丽需求。四、利国利民，ETHK生态战略的重大进展华检医疗此次与仁和药业的战略合作，是其「ETHK链上金融生态战略」落地的关键里程碑。ETHK生态旨在通过科技赋能，打造一个安全、高效、合规、开放的去中心化金融平台，通过技术创新与生态整合，构建定义未来金融格局的全球链上金融生态王国。本项目深度助力中国OTC产业的数字化升级与全球化拓展，通过引入国际先进的产品、技术及管理经验，切实推动"健康中国"战略的落地。它不仅能够加速国内大健康产业的供给侧改革，更能满足中国人民对更高品质、多元化健康生活日益增长的需求。对于全球OTC产业而言，此次合作将首创"数字License-in/Out"模式，极大破除传统跨境合作的壁垒，提升全球OTC产业在研发、融资、流通全链条的创新效率与资源整合速度，有望重新定义行业规则与合作标准。五、前景广阔，RWA市场迎来爆发式增长据Defillama数据，截至2025年6月，RWA总锁仓量（TVL）达125亿美元，较2024年增长124%。波士顿咨询公司（BCG）与新加坡数字证券交易所（ADDX）联合预测，到2030年，全球RWA市场规模将达到16.1万亿美元，占全球GDP的10%。在医疗健康领域，RWA应用正在加速落地。2025年8月，美年健康（002044.SZ）宣布与国富量子（00290.HK）、京北方（002987.SZ）签署《数字资产业务合作框架协议书》，三方将依托各自资源禀赋，在数字资产RWA领域开展全方位业务探索与合作。本月初，华检医疗披露推进收购国富量子20.31%股权事宜，成为其第一大股东，将充分利用其金融牌照与RWA实践经验，增强链上金融布局。华检医疗与仁和药业的合作，为RWA在垂直领域的深度应用提供了创新范例，展示了链上金融与传统产业融合的巨大潜力。全球RWA市场正在经历爆发式增长，据CoinGecko数据，所有现实世界资产代币的市值已达到660亿美元。华检医疗与仁和药业的合作，为传统医药产业拥抱链上金融提供了创新范例，也为中国优质资产对接全球资本开辟了新通道。随着香港《数字资产发展政策宣言2.0》的深入推进和全球监管框架的逐步完善，RWA有望成为连接传统金融与数字经济的桥梁，为产业发展注入新动能。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Lac Knife graphite shows 26% higher cathode density in battery test, opening premium market opportunities beyond anodes, and zero-waste potential.Ottawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 15, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian graphite developer advancing high-grade projects in Quebec, is pleased to announce highly encouraging early results from independent battery cell testing conducted by Charge CCCV LLC ("C4V"), a New York-based leader in lithium-ion battery technology and gigafactory design.Initial results demonstrate that spheroidization rejects from the Lac Knife deposit - typically considered waste - produced a twenty-six percent (26%) increase in cathode electrode density in single-side coated electrodes (2.39 g/cc vs. 1.76 g/cc baseline). A total of four percent (4%) conductive additive was used in the lithium iron phosphate ("LFP") cathode, made up of two percent (2%) carbon black and two percent (2%) Lac Knife Cathode (LKC) Ultima (50:50 ratio). The tests also showed equivalent conductivity and comparable cycling stability up to forty (40) cycles. These findings suggest Lac Knife graphite by-products may represent a high-value conductive additive and significant energy-storage advantages with potential to replace or complement carbon black, the industry standard, while enabling a zero-waste processing model.Higher cathode density allows more active material to be packed into each cell, effectively increasing energy storage without enlarging the battery size. This improvement allows battery manufacturers to achieve higher volumetric energy density, better efficiency, and lower cost per kilowatt-hour, all while maintaining the inherent safety and cycle life of LFP cells like C4V's BMLMP (P Series cells) which currently increase voltage and energy density by fifteen percent (15%) compared to typical LFP cells. With this innovation, Focus is enabling the next generation of high-performance, cost-effective lithium-ion batteries - an advantage that is particularly meaningful for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) supporting renewable energy & EV systems. The ability to achieve greater density without sacrificing conductivity or cycling stability underscores the potential value of Lac Knife graphite as a next-generation conductive additive.This opportunity is further reinforced by the rapid growth in the market for lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathode conductive auxiliary agents. According to a January 2025 report by Markets and Markets, the global market is expected to expand from approximately US$1.80 billion in 2024 to US$4.32 billion by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 19.1%1. With such robust growth forecasts, early evidence that Lac Knife graphite can compete with and potentially outperform conventional carbon black highlights the strategic opportunity for Focus Graphite to participate in a high-value, high-growth specialty market.If validated through larger-scale testing, this breakthrough could enable Focus to fully utilize its concentrate, create high-value by-products, and diversify into cathode markets all while offering ESG advantages through Quebec's renewable hydro energy and a potential clean-energy carbon footprint. The Company plans to advance testing to single pouch cells (150mAh) & multilayer pouch cells (3Ah), explore different blend ratios (e.g. 60/40 or 70/30), and continue joint validation with C4V to assess scalability."These early results validate the potential for Lac Knife graphite to expand beyond anode applications," said Baasit Ali Shaik Sulaiman, VP Supply Chain of C4V. "Often single digit improvements in battery applications are notable. We look forward to advancing this collaboration through larger format batteries as part of our Digital DNA® program and the potential of this product for the North American supply chain.""We continue to showcase the versatility of our Lac Knife deposit," said Dean Hanisch, CEO of Focus Graphite. "A twenty-six percent improvement in cathode density is an encouraging early result in an industry where even small gains matter. Enabled by Lac Knife's unique flake and our use of a thermal fluidized bed oven, these findings suggest that by-products may be transformed into high-value cathode materials with zero-waste potential. While further testing and validation are required, this work indicates possible applications in Battery Energy Storage Systems, one of the fastest-growing segments of the market. This aligns with our strategy to maximize the value of Lac Knife's graphite flakes and advance opportunities to supply premium materials to downstream customers."Figure 1: Cycle Performance Comparison: LKC Ultima Blend vs. C4V Baseline Carbon BlackTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_001full.jpgFigure 2: Normalized Cycling Comparison of LKC Ultima Blend vs. C4V Baseline Carbon BlackTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_002full.jpgFigure 3: Summary of Cathode Performance Metrics, LKC Ultima Blend vs. C4V Baseline Carbon BlackTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_003full.jpgFigure 4: Product Information Bulletin for Lac Knife Cathode (LKC) UltimaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_004full.jpgAbout Charge CCCV (C4V)C4V™ is a lithium-ion battery technology company possessing critical insights related to the optimum performance of lithium-ion batteries and Gigafactory's.

HONG KONG, Sep 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong’s healthcare sector surged by nearly 30% in the last decade, with the total number of related businesses now exceeding 3,000. Details of this rapid and sustained growth are among the findings of a new study by HKTDC Research, titled “I&T Cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: Hong Kong Partners with Mainland Cities in Advancing Biomedical Upgrade in the GBA”.This report was produced alongside “Seizing GBA Opportunities: Biomedical Co-operation and Development”, a joint research initiative with the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province.Overall, the research demonstrates that not only is Hong Kong successfully collaborating with key Guangdong GBA cities and Macao in biomedical innovation, but also that this collective endeavour is on course for sustained growth.The successes to date have also been reflected primarily in the overall increase in the sector's value in regional terms.Hong Kong in step with GBA biomedical partnersJust as Hong Kong has developed a sizable pharmaceutical and medical device cluster over recent years – with 3,020 related companies in 2023 as opposed to 2,340 in 2013 – so, too, has Guangdong looked to develop related resources.Acknowledging the benefits of such a partnership, HKTDC Research Director Irina Fan said: “Thanks to extensive government support, technological innovation has been a key driver of Hong Kong’s economic growth, allowing it to effectively align with the national prioritisation of new quality productive forces. Earlier this year, the Guangdong Government announced action plans to grow its biomedical and healthcare industry cluster by around 50% by 2027, increasing its value from RMB 664 billion in 2023 to more than a trillion. Tellingly, a key element of this plan is to boost development by leveraging the existing strengths of the Hong Kong platform.”“Being able to share this expertise with our partner cities in the GBA, with a particular focus on biomedicals, is a huge opportunity for all concerned and one set to deliver immense benefits nationally and even globally.”Hong Kong: Driving biotech innovationAmong the many advantages global biotech businesses might seek to leverage is the comprehensive array of funding opportunities Hong Kong has access to, thanks to its status as a leading international financial centre.As of June 2025, total market capitalisation of the Hong Kong-listed healthcare sector was US$441 billion – accounting for ~8.1% of the total market cap of Hong Kong-listed companies – which is three times the US$144 billion figure recorded at the end of 2017, pre-dating the launch of the HKEX Chapter 18A regime.Since the Chapter 18A listing rules came into effect – which allows biotech firms without recorded revenue or profits to list – 73 biotech companies have listed, collectively raising US$16 billion as of mid-2025.Expanding on the range of benefits Hong Kong can offer to biotech businesses based in partner GBA cities, Wing Chu, HKTDC Deputy Director of Research (Officer-in-Charge), said: “Beyond its financial resources, Hong Kong has several technical capabilities that will make a real difference to GBA businesses, as they look to expand their activities throughout the mainland and into many of the overseas markets. In particular, the city’s advanced clinical trial services, all of which yield internationally accepted data, make Hong Kong the ideal launchpad for any regional healthcare venture looking to go global.”At present, the clinical data derived through Hong Kong-based trials has been approved for use by many of the world’s leading regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration, the EU’s European Medicines Agency and Mainland China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).In addition, many of Hong Kong’s foremost healthcare institutions, including Queen Mary Hospital, Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong Eye Hospital and Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, have secured NMPA accreditation.The GBA: A world-leading biotech innovation hubIn terms of international recognition, the World Intellectual Property Organization designated the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou cluster as the world’s leading innovation hub in its 2025 Global Innovation Index. This, in part at least, was in recognition of the lead role biotechnology plays within this cutting-edge cluster.It is also important to acknowledge the extraordinary growth of Hong Kong’s biotech and health start-up sectors, which have developed far more rapidly than many comparable sectors.Indeed, between 2018 and 2024, the number of Hong Kong-based biotech and healthtech start-ups more than quadrupled from 110 to 510, while the sectors’ share of the city’s total start-up ecosystem rose from 4% to 11%. This included a range of pioneering businesses in sectors, such as drug development, gene editing technology, medical device innovation and precision medical solutions.Outlining how future intra-regional cooperation could benefit all parties, Cherry Yeung, HKTDC Research Senior Economist with oversight of these new reports, said: “Hong Kong is already seamlessly connected with many of the pharmaceutical manufacturers and markets in Mainland China, thanks to its strengths in R&D and international trade. For their part, the GBA cities deliver considerable production as well as resource support, creating a real synergy across the board. With Guangdong committed to further expanding its biomedical sector, this will foster a new generation of cross-industry collaboration.”Photo download: http://bit.ly/4nc0SAcProduction and Trading of Drugs and Medical Supplies (Source: Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong)Between 2018 and 2024, the number of Hong Kong-based biotech and healthtech start-ups more than quadrupled from 110 to 510, while the sectors’ share of the city’s total start-up ecosystem rose from 4% to 11% (Source: InvestHK)Media enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Johnny TsuiTel: (852) 2584 4395Email: johnny.cy.tsui@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

HONG KONG, Sep 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 44th HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and the 13th Salon de TIME, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Limited, and The Federation of Hong Kong Watch Trades & Industries Limited, closed their doors on 6 September after attracting some 16,000 trade buyers from 95 countries and regions. One of the highlights of the two fairs was the 42nd Hong Kong Watch and Clock Design Competition with winning and shortlisted entries on display together with an awards ceremony at the event stage.Over the years, the Hong Kong Watch and Clock Design Competition has consistently worked to raise the quality of watch and clock design in Hong Kong by encouraging innovation and creativity. At the same time, by enhancing its exhibition offerings, it aims to boost sales of Hong Kong-made watches and clocks both domestically and internationally.This year’s competition featured an Open Group and a Student Group, themed “Memorable” and “Believe in Yourself”, respectively. “Memorable” invited participants to express their feelings about unforgettable people by capturing those emotions in their watch designs. In contrast, “Believe in Yourself” encouraged designers to showcase confidence, perseverance, and courage in pursuing dreams and achieving goals through their creations.This year's competition received an enthusiastic response, with 116 entries. The judging panel consisted of eight representatives from the watch and clock industry, along with guest judge, celebrity Bowie Cheung, who selected the winners, first and second runners-up, and merit award winners in both groups.Open Group entries break with tradition, offering playful design elementsThe winner of the Open Group is “FREEZE”, designed by Tam Kwok Tung and sponsored by Wincy Horological Ltd. Tam’s design was inspired by his father who always had half of his face covered by the camera when taking pictures for him. The dial centres on a camera lens creating a layout that breaks from tradition. The right window displays the watch’s movement, while the left window features gears which drive the hands.The first runner-up is “RB_ROBO”, designed by Wong Ting Bong and sponsored by Youngs Watch Company Limited and Po Fai Precision Company Limited. Inspired by toy robots, the design conveys the idea that “adults can still preserve their childlike innocence”.The second runner-up, “Backtrack”, was designed by Oro Time Limited. It incorporates elements such as “game consoles”, “VHS tapes”, and “vinyl records”, allowing the watch to become a playful, Y2K-inspired fashion accessory by swapping out different “game cartridges”.Watch Design by student group reflects on elements of successThe Student Group category is open to full-time students registered at schools in Hong Kong and aims to recognise and promote talented young designers through the competition. The winning piece, “Aspire”, was designed by Chan Tsz Ying, who studies at the Hong Kong Design Institute. In this watch, moving beads symbolise courageous and confident goal-chasing, while still beads signify moments of reflection.The first runner-up is Lee Yuet Tung Eudora from Good Hope School. Her creation, “Believe in Yourself”, features the words “Love”, “Hope”, and “Faith” printed on the outer ring of the watch, highlighting these three crucial guides to achieving success and overcoming challenges.The second runner-up, titled “Broken Stars in the Ripples”, was designed by Yip Yuen Sze Christine from the Hong Kong Design Institute. The watch features ripple patterns on its surface and uses a star as the hour hand, conveying the message “Even if life has ups and downs, it is still full of hope”.This year, the Made-to-Sell Award continued to be a part of the event, with a judging panel comprising eight veteran watch manufacturers and Stephen Liang, former Assistant Executive Director of HKTDC. The judges select one work from the Student Group which they consider to have strong market potential. The award was once again won by the winner, Chan Tsz Ying of the Hong Kong Design Institute for her design, “Aspire”. The Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Limited and The Federation of Hong Kong Watch Trades & Industries Limited will put her award-winning design into production and release it for sale at the HKTDC Design Gallery.Photo download: http://bit.ly/4n9MgRQFREEZE: Open Group winner of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionRB_ROBO: Open Group first runner-up of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionBacktrack: Open Group second runner-up of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionAspire: Student Group winner and the Made-to-Sell Award of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionBelieve in Yourself: Student Group first runner-up of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionBroken Stars in the Ripples: Student Group second runner-up of the 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design CompetitionThe 42nd Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design Competition featured Open Group and Student Group category winners.

东京, 2025年9月12日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 专注于工业用贵金属展开业务的TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.（总公司：东京都中央区、执行总裁：田中 浩一朗）宣布，成功开发出了可在300℃左右的低温范围使用的钯（Pd）合金氢透过膜。本产品的特点是在保持高氢透过性能的同时，实现了更低的使用温度，相较于以往产品更具优势。本产品的样品预计将于2025年9月15日起开始提供。此外，该成果将于2025年9月17日至19日，在北海道大学举行的公益社团法人日本金属学会“2025年秋季（第177届）演讲大会”上进行学会发表。钯合金氢透过膜（PdCu39）在PdCu类合金膜中，PdCu40（钯含量率为60%，铜含量率为40%的合金）被认为拥有更高的氢透过性能。然而，要利用PdCu40提纯氢气，需要在400℃左右的高温下进行使用。TANAKA聚焦于PdCu氢透过膜中的钯含量比例，成功地利用PdCu39（钯含量率为61%，铜含量率为39%的合金）发挥出了PdCu类氢透过膜的最大性能。迄今为止，人们尚未认识到PdCu39更高的氢透过能力。这是因为即使混有较为少量的fcc相（※1），也会导致氢透过性能显著下降，而将其完全转化为bcc相（※2）则非常困难。但此次，TANAKA凭借其在贵金属材料领域长期积累的研发经验和技术洞察，确立了一种创新性的热处理工艺，，可以获得完全的bcc相，从而实现了本产品的商品化。利用钯类氢透过膜的氢气选透机制随着近年来氢提纯相关技术的不断进展，市场对在比以往更低温度下反应的氢透过金属膜的需求正在增加。传统的高纯度氢气提纯方式，通常是利用内置氢透过膜的模块来提纯由甲醇水生成的氢气。然而，在此过程中，由甲醇水生成氢时的温度在300℃左右，而现有氢透过膜在400℃以上的高温下才能展现其性能，因此需要额外配置加热设备，这不仅提高了成本，同时，加热环境中产生的杂质气体也成为一个必须应对的重要技术课题。本产品可在约300℃的低温下实现氢气提纯，因此无需额外的加热设备，比以往更能抑制设备的氧化。此外，还可望有助于降低电力和CO2等能源成本。本产品的特长可在300℃左右的低温下高效发挥性能通过实现完全的bcc相结构，而具备有更高的氢透过性能无针孔缺陷无需追加加热设备，有效减少加热过程中的设备氧化问题与其他技术相比，可期实现氢气提纯设备的小型化PdCu合金的Pd/Cu比率与氢透过性能@300℃氢透过性能的温度依赖性由PdCu39的热处理条件造成的bcc相/fcc相比率的差异对应范围（评价用的试制样表）板厚板宽形状最薄达10µmT最宽达120mm薄片状（方、圆等）（※1）fcc相：是指具有面心立方晶格结构(face centered cubic)的金属相。（※2）bcc相：是指具有体心立方晶格结构(body centered cubic)的金属相。关于TANAKATANAKA自1885 年（明治18年）创业以来，营业范围以贵金属为中心，并以此展开广泛活动。公司在日本国内拥有非常可观的贵金属交易量, 长年以来不遗余力地进行工业用贵金属制品的制造和销售，以及提供作为宝石饰品及资产的贵金属商品。并且，作为贵金属相关的专家集团，日本国内外的各集团公司进行制造、销售以及技术一体化，携手合作提供产品及服务。2024年度（截至2024年12月)集团总营业额为8,469亿日元，拥有5,591名员工。产业事业全球网站https://www.tanaka.com.cn产品咨询表TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-on-industrial-products/新闻媒体咨询处TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd.https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-for-media/新闻稿: https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20250912_CH.pdf Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a new survey, foreign-educated nurses and other healthcare professionals who migrate to work in the United States continue to give high marks to recruitment firms that are certified by the Alliance for Ethical International Recruitment Practices.TruMerit Ethical International Recruitment ReportHow certification helps safeguard the rights of foreign-educated health professionals.The Alliance, a division of TruMerit (formerly CGFNS International), in 2024 surveyed more than 8,000 foreign-educated health professionals who had used one of its 19 Certified Ethical Recruiters (CERs). Ninety percent of respondents indicated they had an overall positive experience with their recruiter, with 55% reporting it was very positive.As the survey report shows, the high satisfaction rate essentially held steady from 2023 despite persisting delays and increased costs in the U.S. immigration process.In an earlier TruMerit/CGFNS survey of its applicants who used non-certified recruiters, only 69 percent reported a positive or very positive experience."As U.S. healthcare systems continue to look to foreign-educated nurses and other health professionals to help resolve chronic staffing shortages, it is essential that we work to protect those who have made the life-altering decision to migrate. This overall rate of positive experience remains a testament to the work of the Alliance's Certified Ethical Recruiters in their adherence to ethical practices and transparent policies," said Rodrigo Gouveia, TruMerit's Chief Global Affairs Officer.The Alliance was created nearly two decades ago in response to concerns some recruiters were using unfair and deceptive practices such as charging unreasonable fees to the recruits, withholding passports and other documents, and pressuring recruits to sign unfair and complex contracts without giving them an opportunity to read and understand them. On such issues, survey respondents had the following responses about their recruitment experiences:82% agreed (68% strongly) that their CER regularly communicated with them and addressed their concerns.More than 97% said they received a copy of their contract and suitable time to review it before signing, with 92% reporting that they were not pressured to sign.95% said their recruiter did not withhold their passports or any other critical documents.91% said they knew what their pay rate would be prior to arriving in the U.S., but a lower proportion (72%) said they knew the location of their new job in advance of emigrating.TruMerit/CGFNS had previously found that four out of five (79%) nurses who recently immigrated to the U.S. used a recruitment firm, either to place them directly with an employer or, under a staffing model, fund their migration costs in return for their commitment to work for the recruitment firm itself, which then assigns them to work at their client healthcare facilities.To be designated a Certified Ethical Recruiter, firms must undergo a rigorous evaluation of policies and practices and agree to Alliance oversight that they remain in compliance with its Health Care Code for Ethical International Recruitment and Employment Practices, which outlines specific best practices for ensuring fair, ethical, and transparent treatment of health professionals migrating to the U.S.The Alliance Code is aligned with the World Health Organization's Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel. In its recent State of the World's Nursing Report, the WHO called for reinforcing adherence to its Code and for ethically managing international mobility and migration as key policy priorities for strengthening global nursing workforce development."The results of this survey indicate the potential for recruiter certification to advance WHO's goals and in serving as a model for both source and destination countries of migrating health professionals," said Gouveia.More information on the Alliance and the Certified Ethical Recruiter program can be found at cgfnsalliance.org.About TruMeritTruMerit is a worldwide leader in healthcare workforce development. Formerly known as CGFNS International, the organization has a nearly 50-year history supporting the career mobility of nurses and other healthcare workers-and those who license and hire them-by validating their education, skills, and experience as they seek authorization to practice in the United States and other countries. As TruMerit, this mission has been expanded to building workforce capacity that meets the needs of people in a rapidly evolving global health landscape. Through its Global Health Workforce Development Institute, the organization is advancing evidence-based research, thought leadership, and advocacy in support of healthcare workforce development solutions, including globally recognized practice standards and certifications that will enhance career pathways for healthcare workers.Contact InformationDavid St. Johndstjohn@trumerit.orgSOURCE: TruMerit Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Highlights:2025 season drilling totals 8,506 metres in 12 drill holes and is continuing. Drill hole assay intervals include some of the highest-grade mineralization intercepted to date at the Hat Project.Recent drill holes are extending the mineralization envelope of the Hat deposit and will be incorporated in the next Mineral Resource Estimate.Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 11, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the "Company" or "Doubleview") is pleased to announce important and very significant assay results from its 2025 drilling program at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia. The results from drill holes H090, H091, and H092 include some of the most substantial intervals of high-grade copper and gold mineralization encountered at the Hat Project to date and expand the footprint of mineralization well beyond the area considered in the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate that was reported in a 25/07/2024 news release. Drill holes H090, H091, and H092 provide more details of the East Lisle Zone, and shallow extension of the Main Lisle Zone.Partial Data from 2025 Drill Holes:The recent drilling focused on the core Lisle Zone, where drilling intercepted what is interpreted as a potential porphyry feeder zone. The intercepts demonstrate both shallow and deep mineralization horizons and provide further evidence of the Hat Deposit's robust mineralization profile.Table 1 summarizes important assay intervals from drill holes H090, H091 and H092. [Note that scandium (Sc) values are excluded from copper equivalent estimates but are shown to ensure complete disclosure of relevant data]. Data from subsequent drill holes will be released when assays are received and have been verified. To date (11/09/2025) 12 drill holes have been completed with total 8,506 metres (27,906 feet) and work is continuing.Table 1: Summary of Significant % CuEq Drill Core InterceptsDDH From (m)To (m)Length (m)CuEq (%) Excl.

The intercepts display consistent copper, gold and strong cobalt values, as well as consistent scandium mineralization, further reinforcing the Hat Deposit's potential as a significant resource of strategic metals.Figures 1 and 2 illustrate in plan and sectional views the recent drill holes H090 and H091 along with a conceptual open pit outline. The conceptual pit likely will be adjusted substantially as more data becomes available.Figure 3 illustrates drill hole H092 and pre-existing drill holes. H092 is one of the most important drill holes on the Hat property because it greatly extends the zone of higher-grade mineralization easterly and to depth. Several subsequent drill holes were designed to confirm and explore this area.Figure 1: Drill Plan with the Induced Polarization Plan and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/266027_6cd230d7b4c4ab31_001full.jpgFigure 2: Section on H090 and H091 and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/266027_6cd230d7b4c4ab31_002full.jpgFigure 3: Drill Section on H092, Southeast Lisle Zone and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/266027_6cd230d7b4c4ab31_003full.jpgPresident and CEO, Farshad Shirvani, commented:"We are very pleased to present initial assay data from our 2025 field season. Included in the data are several startlingly important features of high-grade mineralization and expanded dimensions. We look forward to their inclusion in an MRE and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in progress. Meanwhile we await with considerable interest the receipt additional assay data.We are also watching with great interest the steadily rising prices for our principal metals, copper, gold, silver and scandium, as the world markets react to this period of uncertainty, a new era of fractured trade relationships, global warming, inflation, and tariffs and the renewed emphasis on strategic metals. The recently announced possible merger of Teck Corporation with Anglo-American illustrates the active consolidation within the mining industry as established members seek to increase and buffer their positions. We believe that Doubleview will play an important role in Canada's mining industry as we expand our resource and plan for a bright future."Quality Assurance and Quality Control:Hat Project drill cores are processed at Doubleview's camp where they are photographed, measured and logged by our technical staff and then divided using a diamond bladed saw. One half is placed in a stout bag to form the assay sample that is forwarded securely to the independent analytical lab. The remaining half core is stored on site where it is available for further examination and sampling. The assay cores are subject to a Chain of Custody routine as they are shipped from camp to a bonded carrier for delivery to the lab.Core samples are analysed at the North Vancouver facility of ALS Canada Ltd. using their PREP-31, PGM-ICP24, ME-MS61, and ME-ICP06 packages. Each core sample is dried, then crushed to 70% passing a 2mm screen. All material is processed in an automatic Riffle splitter to yield a 250g homogenized, representative sample. This sub-sample is then pulverized to 85% passing a 75-micron screen. All samples are analyzed for Au, Pt, Pd by 50g fire-assay fusion/ICP-ES finish, using PGM-ICP24 package. A separate 0.25g pulp split is analyzed by Four Acid digestion/ICP-MS finish, reporting 48 elements. Over limit elements are analyzed by Ore Grade Four Acid digestion/ICP-ES finish using ME-OG62 assay package. All of Doubleview's core samples are analyzed or assayed at independent ISO 17025 and ISO 9001- certified laboratories.When initial assays are received and accepted by our staff, a certain fraction of the samples will be sent to a second ISO-certified lab for check assay and verification purposes. Assays will be reported in News Releases.Doubleview maintains a website at www.doubleview.ca.Qualified Persons:Erik Ostensoe, P.
