SAN DIEGO, June 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has received a production contract from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) for the FQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). The initial order is a significant milestone, beginning the delivery of production aircraft to the warfighter. GA-ASI designed, developed and flight-tested FQ-42A on an accelerated schedule unlike any fighter in recent history."This is an exciting day for our company and the nation," said company President David R. Alexander. "Moving to production on FQ-42A is the result of an extraordinary partnership and many years of investments between General Atomics and the U.S. Air Force. We've been preparing for this order, and manufacturing is already well underway."The FQ-42A is a purpose-built, uncrewed fighter developed as part of ongoing investment in next-generation semi-autonomous combat aircraft. The aircraft's modular design enables rapid integration of mission systems and mission autonomy software. GA-ASI's software architecture, demonstrated through live flight tests on multiple airframes, provides the foundation for human-machine teaming in complex combat scenarios.The development effort by GA-ASI fast-tracked, with the aircraft moving from contract award to first flight in just 15 months, one of the fastest rollouts of a new fighter in history.GA-ASI was selected by the U.S. Air Force in 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. The YFQ-42A successfully conducted its maiden flight in August 2025, validating a "genus/species" concept for rapid, modular, and low-cost uncrewed fighter aircraft development previously demonstrated in partnership with U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).GA-ASI's approach enables a common core aircraft design that can be rapidly adapted for different mission sets and service requirements. GA-ASI's Gambit Series concept for CCA envisions multiple variants that serve specific needs, including long-endurance surveillance; air-to-air superiority; air-to-ground strike and more.GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded, weaponized MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. The company's XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station jet, developed in collaboration with AFRL, is a cutting-edge model for autonomous collaborative platforms with advanced airborne sensing and served as a flying prototype for the FQ-42A concept.Pre-production versions of the new fighter were designated "YFQ-42;" with "Y" designating a prototype phase. The award of an Air Force production contract means the forthcoming aircraft will be among the first in history to carry the novel FQ designation: "F" for fighter and "Q" designating the platform is uncrewed.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®. The company is dedicated to providing long-endurance, multi-mission solutions that deliver persistent situational awareness and rapid strike.For more information, visit www.ga-asi.com.Avenger, EagleEye, Gray Eagle, Lynx, Predator, Reaper, SeaGuardian, and SkyGuardian are trademarks of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., registered in the United States and/or other countries.CONTACT:GA-ASI Media RelationsGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.ASI-MediaRelations@ga-asi.com(858) 524-8101SOURCE: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.

SINGAPORE, June 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Accrelist Ltd. (“Accrelist” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, collectively the “Group”), listed on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”), today announced the appointment of Mr Derek Cheong Sheng Ze (“Mr Cheong”) as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with effect from 16 June 2026.The announcement pursuant to Rule 704(6) of the Catalist Rules, in relation to the appointment of Mr Cheong has been separately announced on the SGXNET.About Mr CheongMr Cheong joins Accrelist after a career spent building consumer-facing businesses in Malaysia. Most recently, in his role as Chief Strategy Officer of Thong World Sdn. Bhd, he is advising the organization on growth and expansion plans.Before that, he served as Managing Director of Collab Working Lifestyle Sdn. Bhd., the master franchisee of Xing Fu Tang in Malaysia, where he managed business strategy and financial operations, and oversaw the build-out of the franchise network. He previously sat on the board of Supreme Falcon Sdn. Bhd., which operates in the healthcare sector, and held the role of Project Director at My Vacation Travel Sdn. Bhd., an event management business, giving him exposure to healthcare-adjacent services and experiential consumer brands.Mr Cheong holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom.First Initiative: Entry into the Xiamen Aesthetic Clinic MarketThe Company has entered into a strategic collaboration through a non-binding term sheet with Mr Zhou, Zan (the “Vendor”) under which Accrelist proposes to acquire a 51% interest in a target company (“Target Company”) to be incorporated by the Vendor in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and the Target Company shall be establishing and/or acquiring aesthetic business in the PRC (including aesthetics businesses in which the Vendor currently has a controlling interest). The Group will license its A.M Aesthetics brand to the Target Company on a royalty-free basis, allowing the Xiamen clinics to operate under the Group’s flagship aesthetics brand.As his first initiative, Mr Cheong will be driving this collaboration further, giving the Group a stronger positioning in the Greater China aesthetics market.The rationale is twofold. First, the proposed acquisition enhances Accrelist’s foothold in the PRC, one of the largest aesthetics markets in the world, at a valuation anchored to performance, with multi-year visibility on the underlying business before the Group is committed to completion. Second, the licensing arrangement allows the A.M Aesthetics brand to be built in the PRC market in advance of completion, at no cost to the Group.A separate announcement on the entry into a non-binding term sheet in relation to the proposed acquisition has been released on SGXNet and shareholders are advised to refer to that announcement for further details.Sharpening Focus on Aesthetics RetailUnder Mr Cheong's leadership, the Group will continue growing its A.M Aesthetics business, deepening its presence in existing markets and expanding into new ones. The aesthetics sector continues to be one of the fastest-growing consumer segments in the region, and the Group sees significant headroom to scale a differentiated, premium brand across Southeast Asia and Greater China.Consistent with this direction, the Group will keep its broader portfolio under review to ensure that capital and management resources are channelled where they generate most value for shareholders. This includes its 52.5% controlling stake in Catalist-listed Jubilee Industries Holdings Ltd. (SGX: NHD) and its 27.34% strategic stake in Bursa Malaysia-listed MClean Technologies Berhad (KL: MCLEAN), each of which the Group will continue to manage and evaluate as part of its overall capital allocation. Any material developments will be communicated through the appropriate market announcements in due course, in accordance with the Catalist Rules and the rules of any other relevant exchange.Mr Cheong, Chief Executive Officer of Accrelist, said: “It is a privilege to take on this role at a moment when Accrelist is strengthening its position in aesthetics retail. The opportunity in this sector across the region is enormous, and our A.M Aesthetics brand is a competitive platform for scale. The Xiamen collaboration is a deliberate first step: a derisked, strategic venture in a high-growth market, with a clear runway to scale. I look forward to working with Dato’ Terence, the Board and the wider team to deliver value for our shareholders.”About Accrelist Ltd.Accrelist Ltd. (SGX: QZG) is a Singapore-based investment holding company listed on the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST.The Group’s wholly-owned aesthetics business operates under two brands. A.M Aesthetics runs a chain of registered medical aesthetics clinics in Singapore and Malaysia, offering a full range of facial treatments and aesthetic medicine. A.M Skincare Pte. Ltd. (“A.M Skincare”), a complementary subsidiary, develops and distributes its own original design manufacturer (“ODM”) clinical skincare products in collaboration with South Korean dermatologists. Beyond aesthetics, the Group holds a 52.5% controlling stake in Catalist-listed Jubilee Industries Holdings Ltd. (SGX: NHD), a one-stop solutions provider in precision plastic injection moulding and mould design and fabrication services. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Accrelist Crowdfunding Pte. Ltd., the Group also holds a 27.34% strategic stake in Bursa Malaysia-listed MClean Technologies Berhad (KL: MCLEAN), a precision cleaning and packaging services provider.For more information, please visit www.accrelist.com.sg.Issued by:Accrelist Ltd.Co.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, June 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Air T, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIRT) today announced that its majority owned business Crestone Air Partners, a global aviation asset management platform, has completed its acquisition of Arena Aviation Capital - a well-established aviation asset manager with a diversified portfolio and deep airline relationships. The transaction, first disclosed on March 8, 2026, has now closed following the satisfaction of all customary closing conditions and required approvals.The acquisition materially expands Crestone. Assets under management (AUM) as of December 31, 2025, were $800 million; as of March 31, 2026, AUM had grown to $1.2 billion; and post-transaction, the combined platform now comprises $3.6 billion of AUM. Crestone receives standard aviation industry management fees, including origination fees, administrative fees, disposition fees, and an incentive fee above a certain hurdle rate (which varies by investment transaction). Our aviation asset management platforms seek to generate 10%+ returns after fees.Immediately prior to the closing, Air T owned 90% of the common interests in Crestone Asset Management, LLC ("CAM"). At this same time, entities controlled by the Mill Road Investors collectively owned the remaining 10% of the common interests in CAM. In connection with the transactions, Air T and Aviation Growth Initiatives, LLC ("AGI"), a management-affiliated entity formed by executives of Crestone Air Partners, Inc., acquired the MRC Parties' 10% common interest position in CAM at a pre-money valuation of $62 million for aggregate cash consideration of $6.2 million. In connection with the reorganization, the parties also amended CAM's limited liability company agreement to reflect the exit of the MRC parties from the common interest holder group.On the closing date, Blue Owl Capital bought in to Crestone Air Partners at an $80 million valuation post-merger for up to 12.5% of Crestone Air Partners, dependent upon Crestone performance. Air T now owns approximately 83.9% of the equity of this business.This transaction is a clear expression of how Air T invests. We are a permanent capital vehicle - buying to build, not to trade - and we give the leaders of our businesses the runway and resources to grow on their own terms."We buy to build and empower dynamos and dynamic teams. Our investments don't come with expiration dates," said Nick Swenson, Chief Executive Officer of Air T, Inc. "Crestone has grown from zero to over $3.5 billion dollars in assets under management in five years. Our job was to provide permanent capital and the runway, then let Crestone build. Crestone's leasing capabilities are supported by the AirT network: airframe and engine material sales, landing gear leasing, disassembly, storage, and MRO facilities all sit inside the Air T family. Crestone can draw on every one of them across an aircraft's life. Aviation has a lot of niche, high-value businesses within it, and we seek to know them well. That's the momentum a networked portfolio creates - and we intend to keep at it."For additional information on the transaction, please refer to the Crestone Air Partners Press Release.NOTE REGARDING STAKEHOLDER QUESTIONSIf you have questions related to this release or other Air T matters, please use our interactive Q&A capability, through Slido.com, accessible from our website, to submit your questions.

HONG KONG, Jun 16, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK)announced that it has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Australia Dimerix Limited (“Dimerix”), for the development and commercialization of DMX-200 in Greater China (Chinese mainland, Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and Taiwan region), South Korea and certain Southeast Asian countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippines). This collaboration will further strengthen Everest’s nephrology product portfolio and pipeline synergy, reinforce the company’s strategic position in kidney and autoimmune diseases.Under the terms of the agreement, Everest will pay Dimerix a US$ 10 million upfront payment, and up to US$30 million potential success-based development and regulatory milestone payments, as well as up to US$300 million in commercial milestone payments. In addition, Everest will pay tiered royalties between 10-15% of DMX-200 net sales in Greater China, South Korea, and certain Southeast Asian countries.DMX-200 is a small molecule inhibitor of the chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) under development in a pivotal, Phase 3 study, ACTION3, for the treatment of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Public disclosures show that DMX-200 has received Orphan Drug Designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).“This collaboration with Dimerix marks an important step in advancing our strategic focus in kidney disease and further strengthening our innovative renal portfolio,” said Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines. “Patients with FSGS in China have long faced significant unmet medical needs due to the lack of targeted treatment options. The positive interim results from the global pivotal Phase 3 study of DMX-200 underscore its potential to offer a meaningful new therapy for these patients. Leveraging our proven expertise in clinical development and commercialization, we are committed to accelerating access to DMX-200 in China and beyond and exploring other glomerulopathies. We look forward to working closely with Dimerix to bring this innovative therapy to more patients in need.”Dr Nina Webster, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Dimerix, said: “We are delighted to establish this partnership with Everest Medicines, a company with strong rare renal disease expertise and a proven track record in commercializing in Greater China, South Korea and certain Southeast Asian countries. Importantly, this collaboration significantly expands the potential reach of DMX-200 into a large and underserved patient population. Everest is well positioned to maximize the opportunity in the licensed regions, while allowing Dimerix to retain focus on progressing our global registrational program, delivering value for shareholders and providing real hope for patients with FSGS across the globe in need of treatment options.”FSGS is a rare, serious kidney disorder characterized by progressive scarring (sclerosis) in parts of the glomeruli—the kidney’s filtering units. This scarring leads to proteinuria, progressive loss of kidney function, and often end-stage renal disease. In China, 500,000 to 1 million people are estimated to be living with FSGS, including both adults and children1,2.The ACTION3 study, which is titled “Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor (AT1R) & Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR2) Targets for Inflammatory Nephrosis”, is a pivotal (Phase 3), multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of DMX-200 in patients with FSGS who are receiving a stable dose of an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Once the ARB dose is stable, patients will be randomized to receive either DMX-200 (120 mg capsule twice daily) or placebo. The single Phase 3 trial in FSGS patients has two interim analysis points built in that are designed to capture evidence of proteinuria and kidney function (eGFR slope) during the trial, aimed at generating sufficient evidence to support marketing approval.The ACTION3 study has completed enrollment of 333 patients. In early 2024, Dimerix reported positive interim results from the ACTION3 trial in FSGS, showing DMX-200 was performing better than placebo in reducing proteinuria at that time. There have been no safety concerns to date following 8 reviews by the independent data monitoring committee, the most recent in June 2026. In April 2026, an external statistical blinded review of ACTION3 data achieved its objective by confirming that the study remains appropriately statistically powered (>90%) to demonstrate a treatment effect for the primary study endpoint of proteinuria; meaning that if DMX-200 continues to reduce proteinuria in trial patients as anticipated, then there is a >90% chance that the study will successfully show a statistically significant proteinuria treatment effect at the trial’s conclusion.Rather than a single product licensing deal, this collaboration is viewed by the industry as a significant step forward for Everest Medicines in deepening its layout in the nephrology field. In recent years, the company has continuously built a nephrology product matrix including Nefecon®, civorebrutinib (EVER001), MT1013, and Bejescin® (MIL62), focusing on areas such as IgA nephropathy and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The introduction of DMX-200 is not only expected to fill the gap in innovative treatments for FSGS in China, but will also further enrich Everest Medicines’ nephrology pipeline, creating synergies with existing products and R&D projects to extend its footprint into the broader CKD sector.Meanwhile, this partnership covers multiple core markets, including Greater China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, further reflecting Everest Medicines’ strategic direction to continuously refine its commercialization network across the Asia-Pacific region. With a massive population base in the Asia-Pacific region, the burden of chronic conditions like CKD continues to rise, driving significant unmet medical needs for patients. Everest Medicines is gradually expanding its accumulated commercialization experience into the broader Asia-Pacific market. Driven by its dual-engine strategy of business development partnerships and in-house R&D, the company is poised to further unlock the value of its innovative assets, opening up new horizons for its long-term growth.Reference:1.Du X, Xiao D, Ao C, Zhang Y, Xuan J.

BALI, INDONESIA, June 16, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Consumers using pirate streaming services across Asia-Pacific are exposing themselves to serious cybersecurity, privacy and financial risks, according to a new study released today by the Coalition Against Piracy (CAP), an initiative of the Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA).The report, Consumer Harms and Fraud Pathways in Asia-Pacific’s Illicit Streaming Economy, was launched at CAP’s annual State of Piracy Roundtable, held alongside the APOS Summit in Bali. Authored by cybersecurity researcher Professor Paul Watters, this report provides the first comprehensive analysis of the consumer risks associated with major forms of digital piracy in the region, including illicit streaming devices (ISDs), IPTV subscription services, playlist sellers, account sharing schemes and third-party streaming applications.The findings challenge the common perception that piracy is a harmless or low-risk way to access entertainment. Instead, the study found that consumers are routinely exposed to scams, malware, phishing attacks, identity theft and account compromise, often with little or no recourse when things go wrong. Among the report's most concerning findings:Nearly half of tested illicit streaming applications were found to contain malware capable of harvesting personal data, compromising devices and recruiting users into cybercrime botnets. Consumers purchasing piracy services through social media, messaging apps and online marketplaces face significant risks of advance-payment scams and service fraud. Many illicit streaming services expose users to phishing attacks, credential theft and identity fraud. Consumers who purchase or share streaming account credentials risk account takeover, financial loss and exposure to stolen or compromised accounts. Pirate streaming sites frequently redirect users to malicious advertising, malware downloads and fraudulent websites.Professor Paul Watters notes the research demonstrates that piracy services have evolved far beyond simple copyright infringement. "Many consumers believe they are simply finding a cheaper way to watch television, movies and sports content. In reality, they are often stepping into an ecosystem that exposes them to malware, identity theft, fraud and broader cybercrime. The risks are substantial and, in many cases, invisible to users until after the damage has been done," said Watters.CAP General Manager Matthew Cheetham said the findings reinforce the need to view digital piracy as a consumer protection and cybersecurity issue, not simply an intellectual property issue. "For years, piracy has been framed primarily as a content theft problem. This research shows that it is increasingly a consumer harm problem. The same criminal networks facilitating piracy are often creating opportunities for fraud, phishing, malware distribution and identity theft." Cheetham continued, "The message to consumers is straightforward: if a streaming service looks too good to be true, it probably is. The financial savings offered by piracy services can come at a far greater cost in terms of privacy, security and personal risk."The report also identifies practical steps that can be taken by e-commerce platforms, payment processors, social media companies, banks, messaging services and infrastructure providers to reduce consumer harm and disrupt piracy ecosystems. CAP is calling for greater consumer awareness, stronger enforcement against piracy merchants, enhanced platform moderation and closer collaboration between industry, governments and cybersecurity stakeholders to address the growing convergence between piracy and cybercrime.The report was released during CAP's annual State of Piracy Roundtable, an invitation-only forum that brings together policymakers, regulators, law enforcement agencies, technology platforms, internet service providers, cybersecurity experts and rights holders from across the Asia-Pacific region to address emerging piracy and cybercrime threats.The full report is available from CAP and is accessible to AVIA members only.About the Asia Video Industry AssociationThe Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA) is the trade association for the video industry and ecosystem in Asia Pacific. It serves to make the video industry stronger and healthier through promoting the common interests of its members. AVIA is the interlocutor for the industry with governments across the region, leads the fight against video piracy through its Coalition Against Piracy (CAP), and provides insight into the video industry through reports and conferences aimed at supporting a vibrant video industry.For media enquiries and additional background please contact:Charmaine KwanHead of Membership, Marketing and EventsEmail: charmaine@avia.orgWebsite: www.avia.org LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/asiavideoia X: @AsiaVideoIA Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Ottawa, Ontario, June 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company") a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce the completion of the Hydrogeological Assessment (the "Assessment" or the "Study") for its wholly-owned Lac Knife Graphite Project ("Lac Knife" or the "Project"), concluding a multi-year environmental program and completing the major technical work required to support the Company's Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") submission.Completed by Yves Leblanc, P.Geo., of Richelieu Hydrogeologie Inc. ("Richelieu") under the supervision and management of IOS Geosciences Inc. ("IOS"), the assessment evaluated existing groundwater conditions, regional hydraulic systems, natural geochemical characteristics, and the long-term environmental performance of the redesigned dry-stack tailings storage facility ("TSF") introduced as part of the 2021 Feasibility Study ("2021 Feasibility") update.Based on the monitoring of more than thirty (30) wells, the Assessment confirmed that naturally occurring groundwater conditions at Lac Knife are well understood. Groundwater in the immediate vicinity of the deposit exhibits slightly acidic and sulphate-rich characteristics associated with the natural oxidation of sulphide-bearing graphite mineralization but becomes progressively buffered as it migrates away from the deposit. The Study also established natural background concentrations for certain elements associated with the mineralization, creating a scientifically supported baseline for future groundwater monitoring and environmental modelling.The Study provides important technical validation of the Company's environmental management strategy and further de-risks the Project by confirming that natural hydrogeological conditions are well understood and that the engineered containment systems incorporated into the TSF design are expected to perform as intended over the long term.Importantly, the Assessment confirmed that regional groundwater flow is naturally diverted away from the deposit by the hydraulic gradient associated with the Pekan River valley. While portions of the deposit surface naturally drain toward Knife Lake, subsurface groundwater follows a separate flow regime toward the southwest, reducing the potential for interaction between groundwater and surrounding aquatic environments.The Study also evaluated the long-term performance of the redesigned dry-stack TSF. As contemplated in the 2021 Feasibility update prepared by NewFields Canada ("NewFields"), the facility incorporates a combination of dry-stacked tailings and approximately 10% dolomitic lime to buffer acid generation from sulphide oxidation. The design further incorporates an engineered impermeable liner system, non-acid generating waste rock containment dykes, underlying drainage infrastructure, and water collection and treatment systems intended to recycle water back into the processing circuit.Using contaminant concentrations derived from 2021-2022 column leaching test work, the Assessment modelled a range of groundwater infiltration scenarios to evaluate the long-term behaviour of dissolved constituents. Under the engineered design assumptions, hydrogeological modelling indicates that dissolved constituents would be sufficiently diluted before reaching potential groundwater resurgence zones and are not forecast to exceed applicable environmental criteria established by Quebec's Ministry of the Environment ("MELCCFP") over the long term.The Study also incorporated sensitivity analyses using infiltration scenarios from the tailings facility significantly beyond normal design expectations, including conditions that would require substantial degradation of the engineered liner and drainage systems. These analyses demonstrated the resilience of the TSF design while reinforcing the importance of the multiple engineered containment measures incorporated into the Project.In addition, climate change precipitation scenarios were evaluated and did not indicate material adverse impacts on the long-term environmental performance of the facility. The Assessment concludes with recommendations for future monitoring and mitigation measures that will be integrated into the Project's environmental management framework.Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite, commented, "Completing the remaining environmental studies and required reports is a major milestone for Lac Knife and reflects years of disciplined technical work and significant capital investment. In advanced mining jurisdictions, environmental assessment is a rigorous, multi-year process that cannot be rushed, and mining companies should realistically expect it to take five years or more to meet today's standards. Having now completed these outstanding studies, Focus has advanced through a critical stage that provides Lac Knife with a meaningful first-mover advantage.With Lac Knife's exceptional 15.6% Cg grade, Focus is positioned to produce and sell graphite concentrate profitably while helping reduce reliance on foreign-controlled or potentially adversarial sources in North American and G7 supply chains. In graphite, grade is the critical equalizer: without exceptional grade, it is nearly impossible for North American graphite projects to compete globally, and Lac Knife's grade is what sets the Project apart."Jason Latkowcer, Vice President, Corporate Development, added, "Supply chains begin with projects that can actually be built. The market often celebrates discoveries, but sophisticated investors understand that grade, infrastructure, permitting, and technical de-risking are where durable value is created. Environmental permitting represents one of the most important value creation catalysts in project development. Our focus now shifts to advancing through the regulatory process while continuing to evaluate pilot-scale production opportunities on location that could further accelerate the development of this strategic asset."With the completion of the Study, Focus has completed the major technical environmental work supporting its ESIA process, subject to government review. The Company will now advance the compilation and submission of its updated ESIA package to Quebec's Ministere de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP), the provincial authority responsible for environmental review of mining projects. This submission is expected to initiate the next stage of the regulatory process, including public consultation activities administered through the Bureau d'audiences publiques sur l'environnement ("BAPE"), and represents an important step toward permitting and the continued advancement of the Lac Knife Project.Lac Knife is recognized as one of North America's highest-grade graphite deposits and is strategically positioned to support growing demand for critical minerals across energy storage, advanced manufacturing, semiconductor, industrial, and emerging defence applications.Qualified PersonThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Rejean Girard, P.Geo.
