Intersections of dravitic-clay associated with structural zones has been confirmed in drill holes ATL-24-002, ATL-24-004A, and ATL-24-005A.Verified Targets: Massive structural disruption confirmed in the sandstone column and multiple wide (>10 metres) brittle-reactivated graphitic shear zones confirm the main interpreted electromagnetic ("EM") corridor on the western claim block which was not reached by previous operators. The inaugural program results have confirmed the Company's exploration thesis on the Project, highlighting a uranium-fertile system with several kilometres of still untested strike length across the Project.Follow Up Targets & Next Steps: Atlantic holds significant upside for discovery along the untested portions of the E-W conductor system. Supplementary geophysical surveys over the central claim blocks are currently being planned and will provide further target areas for phase II and III drilling, along with the additional untested gravity low anomalies on the western block identified in 2022.Canary Project - Mamba Exploration Option (ASX: M24)Uranium Mineralization Confirmed: Analytical results from the spring 2024 drill program at the Project confirmed moderately anomalous uranium in drill holes CAN-24-001 and CAN-24-003 with Uranium:Thorium ("U:Th") ratios ≥3:1, indicating hydrothermal uranium input.Basement-Hosted Uranium: Multiple zones of elevated uranium linked to structural zones and/or proximal to lithological contacts, indicating a uranium-fertile system.Elevated Uranium Pathfinders: Several key uranium pathfinder elements are present in anomalous quantities in multiple drill holes within the crystalline basement, providing vectoring information for future programs; anomalous Boron is particularly common. Spectroscopy confirms presence of fracture-hosted dravitic-clay (13.4%) associated with semi-pelitic gneiss in drill hole CAN-24-001.Follow Up Targets & Next Steps: Canary holds significant upside for discovery along three different and significantly underexplored conductor systems. Supplementary geophysical surveys over all three corridors will provide further target areas for phase II and III drilling.Brown Lake - Mustang Energy Acquisition Agreement (CSE: MEC)Project Monetization: Acquired in 2023 via low-cost staking, Standard Uranium sold 90% of the 312-hectare Brown Lake project to Mustang Energy for 60,000 common shares in Mustang and retains a 10% free carried interest in the project, providing future discovery upside potential.Shallow drill targets: 300 counts per second ("cps") were intersected in seven of eight drill holes - Geochemical assays still pending.Prospectivity Model Confirmed: Elevated radioactivity and increased hydrothermal alteration at Wishbone are largely associated with stacked graphitic structural zones, indicating favorable corridors for fluid movement and uranium deposition across the Project akin to other basement-hosted Athabasca deposits.Discovery of Radioactivity: Occurrences of strong to intense radioactivity in outcropping graphitic basement rocks were identified at surface while prospecting at the Wishbone target area:Approximately five kilometres of strike length along a regional scale anticline, defined by strong VTEM conductors with associated radioactivity along each fold limb.Graphitic pelites have been mapped along both fold limbs, hosting strong radioactivity up to 22,300 cps (RS-125 handheld scintillometer).Mineralized cross-cutting faults have been mapped in the overlying rocks which intersect the uranium-bearing graphitic pelite unit.Historical outcrop sampling at the northwestern graphitic pelite exposure returned assay results of 0.32% U3O8 and 0.30% Cu (SMDI #2095).Unrealized Potential: The targets tested during the summer 2024 program represent only a small fraction of the dozens on the ground and the Company is working with its option partners to prioritize follow ups for additional geophysics and drill programs to further test these promising areas.Davidson River Project - Flagship ProjectIn 2023, the Company expanded its flagship Davidson River project in the southwest corner of the Basin to cover more than 37,700 hectares. Standard Uranium plans to follow up on prospective drilling results from 2022 and test brand new high-priority targets akin to the neighboring JR Zone discovery within the new southeast claim blocks.The summer 2022 program revealed the best intersections of prospective alteration and structure to date along the Bronco and Thunderbird trends, including wide graphitic structural zones on Bronco and oxidized alteration on Thunderbird, in addition to elevated radioactivity and dravite alteration.Planned 2025 drilling will follow up on the most prospective basement structures and alteration zones intersected to date and begin testing new target areas within recently staked claim blocks.Data-driven machine learning techniques will contribute to drill targeting at Davidson River through anomaly detection and mapping of EM data, in addition to anomaly matching based on the footprints of known world-class uranium deposits in the area including the Arrow and Triple-R deposits. The machine learning techniques will also be applied to the Company's internal drilling and geochemical databases.Several kilometres of graphitic conductors remain to be tested at Davidson River, with Davidson River still containing massive blue-sky potential for high-grade discovery akin to the Arrow Deposit on the neighbouring Rook I project owned and operated by NexGen Energy Ltd.Harrison Project - Available for OptionSize & Location: Two mineral claims totalling 1,750 ha, located 22 km SSE of the Shea Creek uranium deposits and approximately 30 km SE of the past producing Cluff Lake uranium mine.Geophysical/Geological Signatures: Electromagnetic ("EM") surveys conducted in 2006-2007 outlined multiple EM zones across the project. Harrison covers approximately 6.8 km of a NW-SE conductor trends coincident with a prominent magnetic low. The trend is crosscut by several interpreted fault zones, including 4.9 km of the major Harrison fault.Prospectivity Model: The project has never been drilled and provides the Company with additional exploration exposure in the southwest Athabasca uranium district. The Company believes the newly acquired Harrison project is prospective for the discovery of high-grade* unconformity-related uranium mineralization.Stock Option and RSU GrantsThe Company also announces that, pursuant to its Omnibus Incentive Plan, it has granted stock options (the "Options") to certain directors, management, and consultants of the Company to purchase an aggregate of 367,500 common shares of the Company at the price of $0.10 per common share until October 31, 2029. Vesting of the stock options shall be as follows: 20% of the Options shall vest immediately, with a further 20% of the Options vesting every three months thereafter.In addition to the Options, the Company has also granted 1,325,000 restricted share units (the "RSUs") to certain directors and senior officers of the Company. The RSUs entitle the holder to receive one common share, the cash equivalent or a combination thereof, on the vesting date of October 31, 2025.*The Company considers uranium mineralization with concentrations greater than 1.0 wt% U3O8 to be "high-grade".** The Company considers radioactivity readings greater than 300 counts per second (cps) to be "anomalous".***Natural gamma radiation in outcrop reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a handheld RS-125 super-spectrometer and a downhole Reflex EZ-Gamma probe. Readers are cautioned that scintillometer and gamma probe readings are not uniformly or directly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be treated only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive minerals.The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed, verified, and approved by Sean Hillacre, P.Geo., President and VP Exploration of the Company and a "qualified person" as defined in NI 43-101.Historical data disclosed in this news release relating to sampling results from previous operators are historical in nature. Neither the Company nor a qualified person has yet verified this data and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on such data. The Company's future exploration work may include verification of the data. The Company considers historical results to be relevant as an exploration guide and to assess the mineralization as well as economic potential of exploration projects.About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND)We find the fuel to power a clean energy futureStandard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in the world's richest uranium district. The Company holds interest in over 233,455 acres (94,476 hectares) in the world-class Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.Standard Uranium has successfully completed three joint venture earn in partnerships on their Sun Dog, Canary, and Atlantic projects totaling over $23.8M in work commitments over the next three years from 2024-2027.Standard Uranium's Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.Standard Uranium's Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.Standard Uranium's eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 42,384 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.For further information contact:Jon Bey, Chief Executive Officer, and ChairmanSuite 918, 1030 West Georgia StreetVancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3Tel: 1 (306) 850-6699E-mail: info@standarduranium.caCautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release contains "forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking information" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities legislation.

SINGAPORE, Oct 31, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Whether you're a frequent business traveller who's always on the go or a world explorer looking for your next adventure, a travel credit card can be a great way to make the best of your trips. The right travel credit card can enhance your travel experiences by offering opportunities to earn rewards, redeem rewards on travel expenses, access discounts and deals, and get perks and benefits like lounge access and travel insurance. Learn all about travel credit cards, what they can do for you and how to choose the right one in our guide below.What is a travel credit card?You may have heard of credit cards that offer discounts and savings on fuel, groceries or shopping. A travel credit card is a type of credit card that offers perks and rewards that make travel smooth and convenient. While the exact reward programs differ from one card to the next, what most miles credit cards have in common is that they grant users benefits and redemption opportunities specifically linked to travel.A travel credit card is a great way to turn everyday spending into travel rewards. Generally, a miles credit card or travel card will let you earn points, miles, or cashback on purchases, which you can redeem for travel-related expenses like flight tickets, hotel stays, car rentals, and more. Over time, savvy cardmembers may accumulate enough rewards to cover the full cost of a small vacation. Many travel credit cards also include benefits like complimentary lounge access, travel insurance, and exclusive discounts with partner airlines and hotels.Pros and Cons of a Travel Credit CardProsEarning points and miles: Your miles credit card helps you earn rewards on eligible purchases. If you use your credit card regularly for eligible purchases, your points or miles can add up quickly and bring you significant savings on your next trip.Sign-up bonuses: In addition to regular rewards, your card may offer a welcome bonus that lets you earn a significant number of points/miles if you meet certain spending criteria. These bonuses can provide a great boost to your rewards balance right from the start.Access to Airport Lounges: Your travel credit card may also include complimentary access to airport lounges, allowing you to enjoy a more relaxed travel experience with amenities like refreshments and comfortable seating before your flight.ConsHigh annual fees: Travel credit cards with good benefits may carry higher annual fees than regular cards. You'll need to review the costs and benefits associated with your credit card to decide if the travel benefits are worth the annual fee.Complex rewards systems: Rewards programs are only useful if you know how to use them well. It might take some time and effort to fully understand how to maximize your rewards.How to Choose a Travel Credit CardWhen choosing a travel or miles credit card in Singapore, consider your travel habits and preferences. Start by considering how often you travel. A card with a high fee may be worth it for frequent fliers, but if you only take one or two trips a year, seek out a card with a low or no annual fee with points that don't expire. You'll need to consider what benefits matter to you. Do you value lounge access, or is travel insurance more important? Choose a card that offers benefits that match your needs. Lastly, look for a rewards program that fits in with your lifestyle. If you spend a lot on dining and shopping, look for a card that offers higher rewards in those categories. Additionally, carefully review the points/redemption process before you apply for a travel credit card. A complex redemption process can be off-putting especially if there are many limits placed on redemption.Notice:Opinions, analyses, reviews, or recommendations expressed in this article are those of the select editorial staff's alone, and have not been reviewed, approved, or otherwise endorsed by any third party.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Two Antimony and One Tin Project in SlovakiaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 30, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") is pleased to announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with 1509149 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 1458205 B.C. Ltd. (the "Target"), and the controlling shareholder of the Target pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Target (the "Target Shares") by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Amalgamation")."As we acquire this premier antimony project in Slovakia with historical resources, we're taking a transformative step to strengthen Europe's access to essential raw materials. With a well established, rich mineral base, this brownfield site enables us to work towards a reliable domestic antimony supply when Europe faces mounting supply chain pressures," said CEO Scott Eldridge. "This acquisition reflects our commitment to reducing reliance on Chinese imports, ensuring stability for the European market, and empowering the West to drive a more resilient, self-sufficient future for critical materials."About the TargetThe Target owns three brownfield projects in Slovakia. Of the three projects, Trojarova is the most advanced ("Trojarova"). Located in western Slovakia, it potentially hosts one of the European Union's most significant known primary antimony deposits. 63 holes were historically completed into the deposit during the 1980-1900s over a strike length of 1.5 kilometers, along with nearly 1.7 kilometers of underground workings; the deposit hosts historical (non-compliant) antimony and accessory gold resources classified in the Soviet era Russian classification system.Additionally, Military has acquired both a tin and second antimony property in Slovakia. The tin property ("Medvedi-Potok"), likewise features significant historical drilling, underground development, and features a historical (non-compliant) tin resource. The Tiennesgrund antimony property features over two dozen small underground workings along its 10-kilometer length where historical production is reported.Consideration for the acquisition of 100% of the Target Shares comprises 10,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Company Shares"), at a deemed issuance price of $0.56 per Company Share, valued at a sum of CAD $5.6 million. The Company will also assume the Target's obligations in respect of its outstanding share purchase warrants, which will provide holders the right to acquire up to 3,499,997 Company Shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share."The Trojarova antimony project is potentially one of Europe's most significant primary antimony deposits. We've experienced an unprecedented rise in the antimony price increasing from $11,000 USD per tonne, to a current spot of approximately $34,000. Increased trade wars and geopolitical tensions have placed stronger importance on this strategic metal with multiple applications," said CEO Scott Eldridge. "The EU's Critical Raw Materials Act has opened multiple financing sources from local European institutions to foster the development of strategic metals within Europe's boarders."Antimony, a vital component in everything from battery technologies to advanced military applications such as night vision and infrared sensors, is classified as a critical mineral by the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. Currently, over 90% of global antimony reserves are concentrated in China, Russia, and Tajikistan. Military seeks to target antimony with the goal of contributing to the global antimony supply, and filling a gap that is present in the ability of Western countries to obtain this critical mineral.About the ProjectsDiscovered in the late 1970s, Trojarova was the focus of extensive surface and underground exploration from 1983 to 1995, with 63 core holes for a total of 14,330m, and 1.7km of underground workings completed. Efforts continued over the years as additional trenches were dug and holes were drilled. Starting in 1990, underground development work began ultimately comprising a 300-meter-long adit connected to a 700-plus meter-long drive in the footwall of the mineralized zone with seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone for sampling purposes. These efforts culminated in a multi-volume study comprising drill logs, analyses, drill plans, maps and sections, deposit model studies, petrographic studies, metallurgical studies and more, culminating in a multi-volume compendium of reports produced by the Slovak Geological Institute published in 1992 (the "1992 Report"). Upon completion of the Amalgamation, the Company will move forward to verify this historical estimate by confirmation drilling so that it is able to classify mineral resources at Trojarova as current, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The historical estimate at Trojarova was classified using the Slovak version of the newly post-Soviet Russian classification system, which is not directly comparable to or compatible with the western system as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroluem ("CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves").The 1992 Report contains a table featuring 10 alternate historical resource estimates, five focused on the antimony component of the mineralized system and five on its gold component, each group of five featuring decreasing tonnage at increasing grade for antimony and gold, respectively:Historical alternate resource estimate scenarios for TrojarovaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/228324_9c2d07525482cbe0_001full.jpgThe Slovak Geological Institute, the state agency that carried out all exploration and underground development work at Trojárová, classified the resource as "P1" in the Slovak version of the Russian classification system. P1 is closest within the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum's ("CIM") classification system to "Inferred Mineral Resources," which is defined by the CIM as that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.Considerable work remains to be completed before it will be possible to classify mineralization documented at Trojarova as current mineral resources. The historical drill logs need to be translated and transcribed into a logging format suitable for resource estimation purposes. All collar locations along with the underground maps need to be digitized and georeferenced. Depending upon the assessed quality and reliability of these data, it will be possible for a resource estimation geologist to determine the extent of confirmation drilling necessary so that mineralization documented at Trojarova can be classified as current mineral resources. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Military is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.The Tiennesgrund antimony project, located in eastern Slovakia, comprises a 10-kilometer-long license covering a large, fault/shear-hosted antimony-gold vein system hosting multiple adits and a long artisanal-scale mining history. The nearby Medvedi-Potok property hosts a classic tin vein system in a greisened intrusive; it features underground workings and a historical (non-compliant) resource. Additionally, on completion of the Amalgamation, the Company will inherit a small processing facility in Slovakia owned by the Target. Its inclusion in our strategic narrative underscores our commitment to efficiency and innovation, making it a key differentiator in today's market.With global demand for antimony soaring and critical mineral supply chains becoming increasingly strained geopolitically, Military is seeking to take advantage of a strategic opportunity to acquire an asset that can fill this global demand.Map showing the location of Military's properties in SlovakiaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/228324_9c2d07525482cbe0_002full.jpgThe technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E.

However, thanks to the comprehensive implementation of the “StarLink Project”, the overall domestic vehicle sales have seen a commendable increase year-on-year against the trend. In the overseas market, as the demand for semi-trailers in North America returned to a normal level, the sales of semi-trailers in North America declined year-on-year in the first three quarters; demand in the European semi-trailer market decreased with affected by the fluctuation in shipping supply chain of European routes. CIMC Vehicles actively advanced supply chain restructuring and business synergistical integration in Europe while actively exploring new customers in other overseas markets at the same time.

Friedberg, Germany, Oct 29, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Today, Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH announces the successful acquisition of Kynos Therapeutics Ltd., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development of novel treatments for patients suffering from acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. The company was founded as a spin-out of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, together with lead investor Epidarex Capital, a leading early-stage transatlantic venture fund, along with IP Group, and Scottish Enterprise. Effective immediately, Kynos Therapeutics will be integrated into the Falk Group.Dr. Falk PharmaKynos Therapeutics' lead investigational asset is KNS366, a highly potent and selective first-in-class inhibitor of the enzyme kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO). In a Phase I clinical trial, KNS366 was shown to be safe and well-tolerated at multiple doses. The compound also led to a dose-dependent inhibition of the enzyme KMO and modulation of its downstream metabolites.Dr. Falk Pharma is excited about the addition of KNS366 to its R&D pipeline and will further explore the potential of KNS366 in future clinical trials, initially focusing on acute pancreatitis. This new asset will enhance Dr. Falk Pharma´s expansion into rare digestive and metabolic diseases and conditions.About KNS366Kynos Therapeutics' lead investigational asset KNS366 selectively inhibits the enzyme kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO). KMO is a key enzyme in the tryptophan metabolic pathway and has also been shown to play an important role in modulating immune processes. By inhibiting KMO activity, KNS366 interferes with inflammation and other immune system pathologies by lowering levels of its downstream metabolite - 3- hydroxykynurenine (3HK) - high levels of which have been linked to tissue damage and dysregulation of the immune system during inflammation. Inflammatory diseases including acute pancreatitis trigger an exacerbated, systemic pro-inflammatory response, making KMO inhibitors a promising next-generation treatment option for disorders characterized by severe inflammation.About acute pancreatitisAcute pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas that can be triggered by a number of factors. In its severe form, this acute inflammation can cascade to a reaction in the entire body over several days to weeks that can result in systemic inflammation, organ failure, and death. Accordingly, acute pancreatitis requires immediate medical intervention to manage patients' symptoms and prevent worsening of their condition, often necessitating prolonged hospitalization. Currently, acute pancreatitis occurs in about 240,000 people in Europe and 300,000 people in the United States each year, with 1 in 5 acute pancreatitis patients requiring intensive care. To date, there are no proven or approved treatment options to prevent organ failure and death resulting from severe acute pancreatitis, meaning there is an urgent need for effective treatments.About partnering with Dr. Falk PharmaDr. Falk Pharma engages in a variety of collaboration and partnership models to develop and deliver innovative treatment concepts with great potential. These treatments can be based on any type of pharmacological approach, from small molecules to biologics to novel drug delivery technologies.

HONG KONG, Oct 29, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP16) opened in Colombia on October 21 for a 12-day session. During a side event, the "Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework: Potential OECM Cases in China," supported by Huatai Securities (Stock Code: 601688.SH, 6886.HK, HTSC.L), was presented to showcase China's diverse approaches to balancing ecological protection with socioeconomic development. On October 25 (local time), Huatai Securities, together with the Shan Shui Foundation, announced the launch of China's first OECMs special fund at COP16. The fund will provide practical and sustained support to qualified potential OECM cases, aiming to accelerate the mainstreaming of biodiversity conservation among diverse stakeholders. The Shanghai Stock Exchange Foundation will also provide charitable support for this initiative.The launch of the OECMs special fund was attended by Jillian Campbell, Representative of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity Secretariat; Liu Ning, Deputy Director General of the Department of Nature and Ecology Conservation of China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment; James Hardcastle, Head of the Protected and Conserved Areas Team at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN); and Lu Zhi, Boya Distinguished Professor at Peking University and Board Member of Shan Shui Foundation.In 2022, as the COP15 presidency, China played a key role in promoting the ambitious yet practical "Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework." This framework introduced the "30x30" target, which aims to protect at least 30% of the world's terrestrial, inland waters, coastal, and marine areas by 2030. Since officially designated protected areas alone cannot achieve this target, other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) with broad social participation are widely recognized as a new conservation tool that can significantly increase conservation coverage and help achieve the 30x30 target.With support from the Department of Nature and Ecology Conservation of China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment and funding from Huatai Securities, the China Environmental Protection Foundation, Huatai Foundation, and Shan Shui Conservation Center jointly launched an initiative to collect potential OECM cases in China. This initiative aims to gather, synthesize, and showcase exemplary practices and experiences of potential OECMs in China. Through this initiative, we hope to provide a basis and reference for developing localized OECM criteria and guidelines, thereby facilitating the pathways for OECMs in China and promoting the achievement of the 30x30 target.The initiative received 90 applications from a diverse range of stakeholders, including social organizations, businesses, universities, and farmers' cooperatives. These applications covered various ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, oceans, urban areas, and farmlands, totaling 1,290 km². They contributed to the conservation of endangered species like the Siberian tiger, giant panda, Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey, Chinese pangolin, Baer's pochard, Chinese immaculate treefrog, Chinese horseshoe crab, and others.Following a rigorous process that included desktop review, expert evaluation, field investigations, and results disclosure, 12 cases, including the Peking University Campus Conservation Area, were selected as "Outstanding Potential OECMs." Additionally, 34 cases, including Nanjing Olympic Center's near-natural green space, were identified as "Potential OECMs." These efforts demonstrate the diverse contributions of Chinese society in the process of China further exercising leadership in the field of global biodiversity governance.At COP16's side event, "Exploring Voluntary Commitments by Non-state Actors in Advancing Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs): Insights from China and International Perspectives", Huatai Securities and the Shan Shui Foundation jointly launched China's first OECMs special fund – the Non-state Actor OECMs Small Grants. Building on six years of experience with the "One Yangtze River" ecological and environmental protection public welfare project, Huatai Securities will focus on the Yangtze River Basin, selecting projects from potential OECM cases with practical needs and long-term potential to provide small grants and professional capacity building through the fund.Jillian Campbell, Representative of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity Secretariat, highlighted the crucial role of OECMs in achieving the 30x30 targets, emphasizing the need to focus on management effectiveness, equitable governance, and connectivity in future implementations. Liu Ning, Deputy Director General of the Department of Nature and Ecology Conservation of China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment, noted that China's National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (2023-2030) emphasizes innovating OECMs, exploring diverse governance models, and supporting various forms of in-situ conservation of biodiversity from all sectors of society. He expressed his hope that Chinese financial institutions, exemplified by Huatai Securities, will collaborate with professional organizations to conduct more exemplary explorations.Launched in 2018, Huatai Securities' "One Yangtze River" initiative promotes biodiversity mainstreaming by supporting community conservation efforts, providing youth ecological education, and fostering the growth of young professionals in sustainable development. By applying ESG principles, it encourages listed companies and financial institutions to participate in conservation. Huatai will leverage potential OECM case studies and the OECMs special fund to support diverse stakeholders' long-term biodiversity conservation efforts and innovative pilot projects, fostering a multi-stakeholder action system and promoting a collective commitment to building a beautiful China.About Huatai SecuritiesEstablished in 1991, Huatai Securities Co., Ltd.

JAKARTA, Oct 28, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Wintermar Offshore Marine (WINS:JK) has announced results for 9M2024. Wintermar’s 9M2024 Net operating profit doubled to US$11.8million (+127.1% YOY) from US$5.2 million in 9M2023, contributed by higher charter rates in DP vessels and additional vessels commencing operations, while Net Attributable Profit which includes gains from vessel sales jumped to US$19.7million for 9M2024 compared to US$2.8million in 9M2023.Owned Vessel DivisionIn the Owned Vessel segment, Revenues jumped by 36.7% YOY to US$45.0 million for 9M2024, up from US$33.0 million in 9M2023. This growth was fueled by the continued rise in OSV charter rates particularly in the higher tier segment. Gross Profit from Owned Vessels rose by 124.7% YOY to US$15.5 million in 9M2024, compared to US$6.9 million in the same period last year with average charter rates 23.1% higher in 9M2024 compared to 9M2023 while vessel utilization improved slightly from 65% in 9M2023 to 67% in 9M2024.On a Quarterly basis, Owned Vessel Revenue increased by 35.1% YOY from US$13.2million in 2Q2024 to US$17.8million in 3Q2024. This strong growth was primarily driven by the deployment of two Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) on long-term contracts at market rates after coming off a lower priced contract in April 2024, and a reactivated PSV coming into operation in August. Gross Profit increased by an impressive 81.8% QOQ, reaching US$7.5 million in 3Q2024, compared to US$4.1 million in 2Q2024, highlighting the significant widening in Owned Vessel gross margin to 41.9% in 3Q2024 from 31.1% in 2Q2024.Chartering Division and Other ServicesThe Chartering Division also enjoyed an increase Gross Profit by 20.9% YOY, despite a 11.2% YOY decline in revenue, from US$12.9 million in 9M2023 to US$11.4 million in 9M2024.Revenue from Other Services declined by 6.5% YOY, from US$5.4 million in 9M2023 to US$5.0 million in 9M2024.

Depreciation costs grew by 8.2% YOY reaching US$10.1 million, due to the addition of vessels to the fleet. Crewing Expenses rose by 12.7% to US$7.6 million, due to the higher salaries and allowances required for Dynamic Positioning (DP) vessels and more vessels operating outside Indonesia.For 9M2024, Maintenance Costs increased by 39.8% YOY, to US$5.9 million, while fuel bunker costs increased by 16.8% YOY, totaling US$2.2 million. These cost increases were driven by major docking activities for certain vessels and the preparation of higher-tier vessels for long-term contracts.Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitTotal Indirect Expenses increased by 33.1% YOY, rising from US$4.9 million in 9M2023 to US$6.6 million. The largest contributor to this increase came from salaries (+31.6% YOY to US$4.7million) due to a growing workforce in line with business expansion and bonuses paid in 2Q2024 while employee benefits were normalized in 2024 after an adjustment in 2023.Marketing expenses increased by 275% YOY from US$0.09 million in 9M2023 to US$0.4 million in 9M2024, due to marketing fees to support the Company’s international growth.Despite these cost increases, Wintermar successfully improved operational performance, reflected in a 127.1% YOY jump in operating profit, which grew from US$5.2 million in 9M2023 to US$11.8 million in 9M2024.Other Income, Expenses and Net Attributable ProfitInterest Expenses continued to fall from US$0.9 million in 9M2023 to US$0.8 million in 9M2024, reflecting a -19.1% YOY decline as outstanding bank debt decreased. The Company is now cash positive, leading to a significant increase in interest income from US$0.03 million in 9M2023 to US$0.3 million in 9M2024. This improvement in cash flow was driven by better operational performance and substantial gains from the sale of vessels.Equity in net earnings of associates turned around with a gain of US$2.1 million in 9M2024 compared to a loss of US$0.3 million in 9M2024, as operational performance from our associated companies also benefited from the industry upturn.The sale of vessels resulted in a substantial gain of US$17.4 million from the disposal of fixed assets in 1H2024, effectively crystalizing the monetary value of the fleet. This cash inflow provided management with the opportunity to reinvest in similar but younger vessels. In August 2024, the Company took delivery of a Platform Supply Vessel built in 2022, which is expected to be operationally ready by early December 2024. Non controlling interest was significantly higher at US$7.5million compared to only US$0.03million in 9M2023 to account for the minority share of earnings from the PSV business which is 51% controlled by Wintermar.Net Attributable Profit for 9M2024 totaled US$19.7million, a six fold increase (+605.2%YOY) from US$2.8million in 9M2023, due to a combination of higher gross profit from a strong performance in the core business as well as the gain from sale of vessels.The group's EBITDA increased by 50.8% YOY for 9M2024, reaching US$22.1 million.Industry OutlookThe world is navigating turbulent times, with escalating conflicts in the Middle East and Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine affecting some of the world’s most important oil producing countries. Geopolitical uncertainty has exposed the underlying vulnerabilities of the global energy system, which has contributed to a new investment cycle in upstream oil and gas as governments seek to ensure energy security.The current economic outlook points to global oil demand remaining resilient. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global demand for oil is expected stay above 100 million barrels per day (mb/d) through 2050. This sustained demand is driven by industrial uses, heavy-duty transportation, and petrochemical needs. The transition to renewable energy is reshaping consumption patterns, but oil and natural gas will continue to play a crucial role in meeting global energy needs.Southeast Asia remains heavily reliant on energy imports, especially oil and natural gas, to meet its growing demand. According to the IEA's World Energy Outlook, Southeast Asia is projected to become a net importer of natural gas by 2030, while China and India are also seeing a significant rise in their reliance on imported energy. China's oil imports are expected to surpass 80% by 2050, increasing its vulnerability to global supply disruptions.The Indonesian government has introduced a new gross split scheme aimed at attracting upstream investments by simplifying contractual terms and providing more favorable conditions for oil and gas contractors. This welcome move demonstrates the political will to ramp up upstream oil and gas investments in Indonesia, needed to mitigate natural production declines and the widening oil trade deficit in recent years.Business ProspectsWintermar continues to strategically strengthen its financial position and revitalize its fleet through targeted investments. As of the first nine months of 2024, the Company has invested in USS$38.8 million in fleet expansion to position its fleet in anticipation of future demand. This includes an Accommodation Work Barge (AWB), a 2022 built Platform Supply Vessel (PSV), and three newly constructed heavy load barges scheduled for delivery by the end of the year. These investments not only modernize Wintermar’s fleet but also align it with expected OSV demand as early-stage offshore drilling and exploration projects transition into the construction and production phases.These acquisitions have been financed through a combination of internal cash flow, bank loans and the sale of several low-yielding vessels. The success in securing new loans has demonstrated support from banks and enables the Company to optimize the capital structure.Contracts on hand as at end September 2024 amounted to US$71.4 million.Dividend paymentBased on the strong results in the first 9 months of 2024, the Directors have declared the payment of an interim dividend of Rp8 per share, totaling Rp34.92billion or US$2.25million.

Our partnership dates back to 2019, and our teams have gained mutual trust in those five years so that we have achieved successful digitization regarding innovative technology and business innovation services. Far beyond being a provider of technologies, solutions and services, China Entercom is the trusted partner of CR Beer’s digital transformation journey.”Mr. Tao Zhi Bin, Deputy Director of Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer, said, “ At the IDC conference, CR Beer's green factory with digital intelligence was honored “Future of Digital Industry Navigator Case”.

We are committed to making technology the ultimate business enabler, promoting high-quality development with innovation and intelligence.”From the Present to the Future: China Entercom Customizes a Future-Proof “All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security” Platform for CR Beer to Realize Digital IntelligenceHeadquartered in Beijing, CR Beer is one of the significant members of China Resources Group in terms of the consumer sector, and also a pioneer with a history spanning over 30 years in the domestic alcoholic beverage industry. In view of aggregate sales, CR Beer has been top-ranked in the Chinese beer market since 2006, however, the market competition has become fiercer with the change in market demands and consumption needs, notably the trends of premiumization and diversification among the leading enterprises in the past few years. CR Beer realized digitization and intelligentization are the keys to capture the market, so it implemented the “3+3+3” corporate development strategy for premiumization in 2017, moved towards technology productization in 2020, and recently launched a dual empowerment model of “Beer and Baijiu”.To achieve digital transformation, CR Beer needs to generate higher values from technologies and foster business growth by addressing the preexisting challenges. More importantly, it needs a reliable partner with technological expertise, tailor-made solutions, exceptional service capabilities and global resources to flexibly support its future businesses and advance the three critical objectives: (1) enhance network continuity and scalability, (2) improve network efficiency, and (3) reinforce the security protection of the entire digital infrastructure.“Having considered carefully and conducted rigorous technical tests, CR Beer decided to join hands with China Entercom. With its full-cycle support from customization, deployment and installation, implementation to operation and maintenance, we adopted its innovative suite of ‘All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security’ solutions (MPLS + SD-WAN + Security + SASE + Private Cloud). With this solution as a solid and secure foundation for digital transformation, CR Beer has experienced a seamless and highly efficient transformation journey, which is in line with the ultimate goals of our partnership,” said Mr. Chen Xue Qiang, Deputy Director of the Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer.IDC commented on “CR Beer’s One-Stop SD-WAN Hybrid Network” project, said: “This project has excelled and outcompeted others in network optimization, service delivery, technology innovation and low-carbon development. Additionally, the one-stop service provided by China Entercom not only streamlines the network management, but also ensures network stability and security with its round-the-clock monitoring function. With the integration of multiple innovative technologies, the customized ‘All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security’ solutions have addressed the digital transformation requirements of CR Beer. In particular, deploying the private cloud in the low-carbon data center is apparently a proactive approach to environmental protection and low-carbon operation, providing an excellent paradigm of both economic benefits and social responsibility commitments, setting a benchmark for the industry.”Rooted in China, Connecting Globally: China Entercom as the long-term partner of CR Beer’s Globalization StrategyCR Beer is committed to fulfilling its responsibility as a subsidiary of China Resources Group, actively promoting the “Belt and Road” Initiative and global development. To connect globally, the company first established a global strategic partnership with Heineken Group in 2019 under the “Going Global” policy, making China the second largest market for Heineken. By leveraging the global resources of China Entercom and its parent company CITIC Telecom CPC, the next step of CR Beer is to promote a comprehensive digital transformation with network improvement as the basis, realizing automated workflow and intelligent decision support. Meanwhile, the company is looking forward to boosting operational efficiency and responsiveness to drive rapid business growth and expand its market presence along the “Belt and Road”, in Southeast Asia, Europe and the global market.Mr. Henry Ko, General Manager of Enterprise Sales, China Entercom, said, “The cooperation between China Entercom and CR Beer started at the initial stage of its digital transformation journey. As an industry leader, CR Beer has more heightened requirements of digital transformation — cost reduction, higher efficiency, and most importantly, holistically solving current pain points and challenges for a better future. And this is where our strengths lie. Having worked with a variety of industries for more than 20 years, China Entercom is well aware that forward-looking technologies and services offered by solution providers are the keys to maximizing clients’ IT investment efficiency.”“There are some prerequisites for new technology applications to attain cost reduction and efficiency enhancement during digital transformation. The first is to select the right technologies and solutions, and the second is to carry out customized implementation and deployment for better business development. In other words, choosing the right partner matters. It is a great pleasure to be the right partner for CR Beer, and to be working together since the very beginning of its digital transformation, which it has eventually achieved higher efficiency with technologies,” continued Mr. Ko.Beer with ICT Innovations: CR Beer Adds a Hint of New Technology FlavorThe in-depth cooperation between CR Beer and China Entercom demonstrates the convergence of innovative ICT technologies with the traditional alcoholic beverage industry, resembling a brewer blending liquors delicately. The next stage of cooperation is reportedly in the direction of going globally, AI+ and SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS).“Under the leadership of Mr. Guo Hua, Chief Digital Officer of CR Beer, the information technology team is actively promoted ‘Five Transformations, Three Concentrations, One Core, and Four Platforms as the transformation framework to comprehensively promote the implementation of the digital strategy, committed to aligning with top international standards. As we strongly support the digitalization of our business systems, we consistently enhance infrastructure development and information security.
