SHANGHAI, Dec 18, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, “Everest”, or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced that the first prescription for VELSIPITY(R) has been written at Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital in Guangdong, under the "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect" policy, which marks the official beginning of this new therapy benefiting patients in mainland China. VELSIPITY(R) is an innovative advanced therapy that was approved by the Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau of Macau in April 2024. It is an oral treatment taken once daily for the treatment of patients aged 16 and above with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). UC is a chronic, relapsing, non-specific inflammatory disease, and as the disease progresses, the risk of disability and colorectal cancer incidence continues to rise. By 2030, the number of patients with UC in China is expected to more than double compared to 2019, reaching approximately 1 million, with a significant unmet need for innovative therapies. Professor Wu Ji, Director of the Gastroenterology Department at Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital said, "We are very happy to see that VELSIPITY(R) has been prescribed in our hospital through the 'Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect' policy. With a large population of UC patients in the Guangdong province and high clinical demand, this is a significant milestone. As the only drug that has been proven to be effective in isolated proctitis in global Phase III clinical trials, VELSIPITY(R) is an oral treatment taken once daily with a favorable safety profile, providing an innovative treatment option for patients who have long been troubled by UC. We look forward to Everest Medicines further enhancing the accessibility of VELSIPITY(R) to benefit more Chinese patients in the future."As a core product of Everest Medicines, VELSIPITY(R) can provide patients with a chance for corticosteroid-free remission, mucosal healing, and rapid symptom relief. In the results of the Asian multi-center Phase 3 clinical trial of VELSIPITY(R) for the treatment of moderately to severely active UC announced in July this year, VELSIPITY(R) achieved positive topline data results in both the induction and maintenance treatment periods, providing further solid scientific basis and support for the wide application of the drug in clinical practice. In this October, through the "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect" policy, VELSIPITY(R) has officially been approved for patients with moderately to severely active UC by the Guangdong Provincial Medical Products Administration and can be used in the medical institutions designated by the Connect Policy in the Greater Bay Area, including First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital, Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University and Guangzhou United Family Healthcare. Also, with the recent inclusion in the Catalog of Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Imported from Hong Kong and Macau for the Nine Municipalities in Guangdong Province within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, VELSIPITY(R) is expected to accelerate its availability in all 45 designated medical institutions under the Connect Policy.About VELSIPITY(R) (etrasimod)VELSIPITY(R) is a once-daily, oral, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator that selectively binds with S1P receptor subtypes 1, 4, and 5. Regulatory approvals have been granted in US, EU, Canada, Australia, Singapore, UK, Switzerland, Israel and Macau for VELSIPITY(R) in ulcerative colitis.About Everest MedicinesEverest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing transformative pharmaceutical products and vaccines that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in Asian markets.

香港, 2024年12月18日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 12月12日，“圖南起航，聯接全球” - 香港與南沙科技與產業合作交流會在香港隆重舉行，在粵港智慧城市與數字經濟合作框架協議的簽約項目上，作爲簽約見證人的晶科電子（2551.HK）董事長肖國偉親臨現場，共同見證這一具有里程碑意義的時刻。出席大會的嘉賓還有香港創新科技及工業局局長孫東，廣州市委常委、南沙區委書記劉煒，香港科技大學校長倪明選等多名商界及創科界人士。晶科電子作爲融合LED+技术的智能视觉产品及系统解决方案提供商，扎根粵港澳大灣區，憑藉深厚的技術積累和創新實力保持行業領先地位。晶科電子于香港科技大學孵化，起步便得益于香港豐富的科技資源和創新生態。作爲粵港澳大灣區高科技合作示範企業，晶科電子與香港科技大學的緊密技術聯接，不僅提升了企業的技術研發能力，也爲粵港澳大灣區科技產業融合提供了實踐經驗。此次交流會吸引了來自粵港澳三地的多家高科技企業、科研機構和政府代表，展現了大灣區協同創新的强大潜力。晶科電子作爲粵港澳科技合作的典範企業，得到了政府和業界的高度評價。在论坛报告环节中，香港科技大学校长倪明选特别提到："晶科电子21年前诞生于香港科技大学孵化器，是大湾区高科技产业合作的标杆。其成功的产学研协作模式不仅是港科大的典范，也为众多港科大学子树立了积极的榜样。"已於今年11月登陸港股市場的晶科電子，如今已成爲香港與內地產學研全方位合作的明星企業。公司經過兩次階段性的業務轉型升級，成功在汽車智能視覺、高端照明及新型顯示三大細分高價值賽道奠定領導地位，並持續強化技術創新，引領智能视觉产品及系统向高端化邁進，提升產業鏈站位。2024年首五個月，公司以325.4%的淨利潤增長率，展現高端化路線的耀眼前景。我們一起看看晶科電子實現行業優勢地位的原因。跳出內卷困局，向高附加值領域開闢增量兼具節能及高速迭代屬性的「LED+」技術，是晶科電子不斷進階的致勝法寶，助力其持續滲透LED產業鏈中的高價值、高增長市場。按2023年收入計，其是第三大中國高端照明器件和模組內資廠商、第四大中國液晶電視背光顯示內資廠商及第五大中國中高端汽車智能視覺內資廠商。不過，隨著整個行業逐漸進入存量市場，「價格戰」不可避免地成為多數企業去產能的重要手段，降價壓力持續，使得行業內卷達到白熱化程度。雖然內卷帶來了一系列負面影響，但也能夠淘弱留強，推動產業不斷升級和行業格局重新洗牌。在此市場環境下，晶科電子獨闢蹊徑，卷價值不卷價格，在競爭中得其所揚其長。晶科電子將業務發展重心確定為滿足汽車智能視覺、高端照明及新型顯示應用的技術創新需求，通過對「LED+」技術及產品進行持續創新，致力於推動行業的綠色可持續發展。Mini/Micro LED、小間距顯示屏、車用LED、LED照明等高附加值領域，成為公司開闢增量的重要方向。構建增長飛輪，擴大可持續發展優勢據悉，晶科電子在車載顯示領域的佈局主要包括中控屏和交互屏兩個方向。中控屏市場尚以LCD技術為主，Micro LED技術仍處於初期階段，而隨著未來對高亮度和高對比的需求不斷增加，Mini LED技術將進一步發揮關鍵作用。在交互屏領域，公司主要服務於新能源汽車市場，提供個性化、炫酷的顯示解決方案，目前推出了全彩、全紅光和白光交互屏，以滿足客戶的個性化需求。雖然車載交互顯示尚屬新興領域，但晶科電子自2006年起便深耕於倒裝芯片的研發與生產，是國內LED行業中首批實現倒裝LED芯片級光源量產的企業之一，建立了系列化倒裝LED技術及相關封裝技術，擁有產業鏈垂直整合能力。深厚的技術積澱和電視/車載背光經驗，為公司在該領域的發展奠定了堅實基礎，依託市場需求前瞻佈局車載交互顯示，也是其向全球高科技企業轉型的關鍵一步。此外，自2010年起便專注於背光領域，讓晶科電子積累了豐富的經驗，介入Mini LED背光技術並大獲成功。7月25日，中國發改委和財政部兩部門發文，掀起新一輪家電「以舊換新」熱潮，政策持續催化下，大尺寸Mini LED電視銷量顯著增長，受益於此，晶科電子的電視背光業務在今年第三季度迎來大幅提升。在Mini LED背光和直顯領域的雙重佈局，使晶科電子能夠在這兩個關鍵市場中佔據有利地位，形成雙拳出擊的市場策略。不僅如此，公司還在智能車燈、智能照明和植物照明等高毛利領域進行前沿佈局，努力搶佔市場份額。通過敏銳地捕捉產業鏈的發展機遇，公司抓住市場中的增量需求，並建立自己的增強回路，最大化釋放「飛輪效應」，形成各業務板塊相互促進的良性循環。資本儲備上，截至2024年5月31日，晶科電子錄得現金及現金等價物約人民幣2.80億元，流動性較為充裕，能夠為其可持續經營提供有力的財務支持。另外，公司自全球發售取得集資淨額8,225萬港元，約70.0%將用於持續推動汽車智能視覺業務發展，約20.0%將用於技術創新及產品升級，持續提升技術水平。晶科電子助力粵港澳大灣區高科技合作，見證了香港與南沙科技產業合作的新篇章。未來，晶科電子將進一步深化與香港科技大學及其他大灣區高校的合作，聚焦「LED+」技術，不斷拓展科技與產業融合的廣度和深度，爲區域經濟高質量發展注入新動力。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

All core assay results from the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Property have now been received and reported on.The Company also announces that all share purchase warrants originally issued in a December 2022 private placement financing were exercised in advance of their December 15, 2024 expiry date. Total proceeds of $1,906,250 was received from the exercise of 6,250,000 share purchase warrants bearing a strike price of $0.305 per share."2024 has been a transformative year for Q2. Since its acquisition in February 2024, we have been focused on the Cisco Property, which has far surpassed our lofty expectations," said Neil McCallum, Q2 Metals Vice President of Exploration. "With the final drill results now reported on from our 2024 exploration campaign, we are eager to resume work on Cisco in late January and expand on the exceptional results we've received so far.""We are pleased that the cash proceeds from the exercise of expiring warrants, as well as the exercise of other in-the-money warrants, will further add to Q2's strong balance sheet, providing us with a solid financial foundation from which we will continue to build shareholder value through the drill bit with our 2025 winter exploration program," said Alicia Milne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Q2 Metals. "Plans for the winter campaign at Cisco are being finalized and will be detailed early in the new year."Results for CS-24-020The analytical results reported herein represent 405 m of drilling over one (1) hole (CS-24-020), as well as the uppermost interval of drill hole CS-24-021, during the 2024 drill campaign. Complete highlighted intervals from hole CS-24-020, are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1, with two cross sections in Figures 2 and 3.Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Holes with Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyDrill hole CS-24-020 was drilled on the same pad as hole CS-24-023 and approximately 150 m to the southeast of hole CS-24-019. The results reveal several separate mineralized intervals including the widest intervals: 26.5 m at 1.08% Li2O, 15.8 m at 1.43% Li2O, 13.5 m at 1.25% Li2O and 41.6 m at 0.90% Li2O.Figure 2. Cross Section C (looking northeast)All drill holes from the 2024 drill campaign are detailed in Figure 3 from northeast to southwest and represent a drill-defined strike length of approximately 850 m. The surface outcrops and drilling suggest that the mineralization may continue to the south for another 1,050 m.As previously reported, drill hole CS-24-023, drilled from the same drill pad as CS-24-020, confirms the continuity of the mineralized system to the southeast and the mineralized system remains open in both directions.Figure 3. Long Section containing all holes drilled to-date (looking southwest)Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyAll intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Complete drill hole collar, lithology and assay information is available at: www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsDrill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness. All drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The Li grade presented herein was reported by SGS Canada as lithium oxide (Li 2O).Upcoming EventsAME Roundup Core ShackQ2 is pleased to have been selected as a participant in the core shack at the upcoming AME annual Roundup conference being held in Vancouver, BC from January 20 - 23, 2025.Vice President of Exploration Neil McCallum as well as senior project geologists will be on hand with core from the 2024 drill season at Cisco.

DUBAI, Dec 16, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The recent unveiling of Google’s ‘Willow’ quantum chip has ignited significant discussion throughout the ecosystem, sparking urgent questions about its implications for blockchain security. Leaders are in a unique position of responsibility to understand where we are in this rapidly evolving landscape and determine the necessary steps to address this formidable threat.As the unveiling of Willow triggered liquidations exceeding $1.7 billion, the industry is reeling from the real-world impact of heightened fears of future vulnerabilities. The question is no longer if quantum computing will disrupt blockchain security but when. In this moment of unknowing, where panic is growing, Quranium steps forward to shed light with the release of its previously unreleased Enterprise Quantum Readiness Survey.The survey, which was conducted among nearly 100 CTOs and IT executives from large global organisations across various sectors - reveals a critical gap: while 75% of organizations acknowledge the disruptive potential of quantum computing, 60% have yet to begin concrete preparations. This lack of readiness amplifies the urgency of action, especially as quantum technology rapidly transitions from theoretical to practical applications.A New Era of RiskThe Willow chip’s 105-qubit power demonstrates quantum computing’s potential to render current cryptographic systems obsolete. Kapil Dhiman, CEO of Quranium, stresses the immediacy of the challenge:“Quantum computing will redefine digital security. Algorithms that have protected data for decades are now at risk, and industries must act quickly to build resilient systems that withstand this quantum disruption.”This warning is echoed in reports from leading organizations like NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), which predict the deprecation of critical encryption algorithms by 2030, alongside warnings about “harvest now, decrypt later” threats—where encrypted data is collected today for decryption in the quantum future.Survey Highlights: The State of Quantum ReadinessQuranium’s survey reveals critical insights into the state of enterprise quantum preparedness:Recognizing the Threat but Lagging in Action: Over 75% of respondents predict significant disruption from quantum computing within the next decade. Yet, nearly two-thirds of organizations remain unprepared, creating vulnerabilities in industries reliant on secure data handling.Barriers to Readiness: Security concerns, high perceived costs, and a lack of technical expertise are the top challenges. While 45% of respondents indicate a willingness to invest in quantum solutions, most have not taken tangible steps to address these barriers.Collaboration and Training Gaps: Only 30% of organizations actively collaborate with academic institutions or quantum technology firms, and just 25% offer formal training on quantum technologies to employees, leaving industries ill-equipped to handle the transition.Slow Adoption of Quantum-Resistant Encryption: While some companies have started implementing quantum-resistant encryption, more than half remain in exploratory phases or have taken no action, exposing critical systems to future vulnerabilities.What’s Next Bridging the Readiness GapThe quantum era is no longer a distant future—it is unfolding now. Quranium’s Enterprise Quantum Readiness Survey highlights the urgent need for industries to shift from awareness to action. This isn’t just a call for individual organizations to prepare but for the industry to unite under a cohesive strategy for resilience.DeQUIP (Decentralized Quantum-Uncrackable Infrastructure Protocol) represents a new market sector coined by Kapil Dhiman, CEO of Quranium. It serves as an industry standard that the ecosystem can join to collectively secure the decentralized world. Designed to safeguard decentralized systems against quantum threats, DeQUIP sets the standard for securing the digital future.Kapil Dhiman adds:“The industry must move beyond exploration and into execution. Quantum resilience isn’t just about responding to a threat—it’s about seizing the opportunity to redefine trust, security, and innovation in the digital age.”A Collective Call to ActionThe findings of the Enterprise Quantum Readiness Survey are a wake-up call for industries worldwide. With quantum computing already reshaping the technological landscape, the time to act is now. Organizations must assess their readiness, collaborate on solutions, and adopt quantum-resistant technologies to ensure their systems can withstand the quantum revolution.Quranium invites enterprises, policymakers, and innovators to join the movement toward a secure digital future. By aligning with standards like DeQUIP, we can collectively build a foundation that safeguards against the risks and harnesses the potential of quantum computing.Learn About DeQUIP: https://quranium.org/dequipAbout QuraniumQuranium is the quantum-uncrackable Layer 1 blockchain foundation for the future.
