Nguyen Xuan Sang, Deputy Minister of Transport, Vietnam. ASEAN is Hong Kong's second-largest trading partner, with a total bilateral trade of US$144.6 billion last year. As Hong Kong is actively seeking membership of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), trade relations between Hong Kong and ASEAN are poised to deepen further. The participation of government officials from ASEAN countries in the conference underscores the robust cooperation between Hong Kong and ASEAN.Margaret Fong, HKTDC Executive Director, said in her welcome remarks: “In today’s fast-moving world, global trade has been buffeted by numerous headwinds, including geopolitical tensions and tariffs. This is further compounded by global logistics bottlenecks, rising freight rates, increased focus on sustainability and the growing uptake of digitalisation. As businesses grapple with such a complex environment, it is evident that effective supply chain management is the essential engine that drives sustained growth in global trade. It plays a pivotal role in combating uncertainty and future-proofing business operations. Reflecting the vital importance of Asian supply chains in today’s interconnected world, this year’s ALMAC will zero in on global business opportunities and supply chain management.Chan Kwok-ki, Acting Chief Executive of the HKSAR, said in his special address: “We see long-term opportunity in Hong Kong’s rise as a green and smart port. Our Action Plan on Maritime and Port Development Strategy outlines that promising future, including building green fuel-bunkering capabilities. Just three days ago, we published an action plan on developing Hong Kong into a green maritime fuel-bunkering centre. Combining our aviation and maritime strengths, Hong Kong has long been a major cargo gateway to and from the Greater Bay Area.”He additionally mentioned: “We will also step up efforts to develop Hong Kong into a cross-boundary, e-commerce logistics and distribution centre. This year’s Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference is all about creating a resilient and sustainable future for global supply chains.

SINGAPORE, Nov 18, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Despite Singapore’s abundant sunlight, Vitamin D deficiency remains a prevalent health issue, affecting millions of people. This deficiency significantly compromises bone health, leading to osteoporosis, a “silent disease” due to its subtle onset. Research indicates that bone health begins to decline at age 25, making it crucial to address this issue, especially as Singapore’s population continues to age. The urgency to combat this silent epidemic has never been greater.As sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary choices become increasingly common, the impact of osteoporosis is alarming: one in three women and one in five men over the age of 50 in Singapore are affected. Known as the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D plays a critical role in efficient calcium absorption, essential for maintaining bone density and preventing osteopenia and osteoporosis. Without adequate vitamin D, the body struggles to absorb calcium, increasing risk of fractures and leading to deteriorating bone health.In line with World Osteoporosis Day on 20 October, LAC (pronounced as L-A-C) is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of bone health and empowering individuals to take preventive measures to optimise their bone density. By incorporating calcium-rich foods or supplements, ensuring adequate Vitamin D intake and regular physical activity, individuals can significantly reduce the risk of osteoporosis.LAC FullCal® combines calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D in a golden ratio, making it vital for maintaining strong bones, teeth and muscle function. This unique formula not only reduces the risk of osteoporosis but also improves calcium absorption, making it an excellent option for maintaining optimal bone health. With its all-in-one solution, individuals no longer need to rely on three separate supplements to achieve the same benefits, offering both enhanced convenience and cost savings.LAC Joint Protec®, formulated with a proprietary blend of ingredients such as Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Collagen, work together to alleviate joint stiffness and discomfort while enhancing mobility and flexibility.

溫哥華，2024年11月17日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 軍事金屬公司（Military Metals Corp.） (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90)（簡稱“公司”或“軍事”）很高興宣佈，其已完成先前披露的交易。根據該交易，公司全資子公司1509149 B.C. Ltd.與1458205 B.C. Ltd.（簡稱“目標公司”）合併，從而使公司獲得合併實體100%的已發行和流通普通股（簡稱“交易”）。在本次交易中，公司向目標公司的股東發行了10,000,000股公司普通股（簡稱“公司股份”），每股發行價格被視為0.56美元。此前曾計劃由公司承擔目標公司在3,499,997份認股權證方面的義務，這些認股權證在交易完成時可轉換為公司股份。然而，交易各方已對條款進行了修訂，公司不再承擔該項義務。根據適用的加拿大證券法律，此次發行的公司股份不受轉售限制。關於項目：通過此次交易，公司收購了位於斯洛伐克的三個礦產勘探項目：Trojarová 銻金項目、Tiennesgrund 銻金項目和 Medvedi 錫項目。公司計劃根據《國家文書43-101礦產項目披露標準》（簡稱“NI 43-101”）為 Trojarová 項目製作一份技術報告。此外，公司還計劃根據適用的證券法律要求提交一份業務收購報告（Business Acquisition Report）。關於 Trojarová 銻金項目根據公司於2024年10月30日發布的關於 Trojarová 項目的新聞稿，Trojarová 於20世紀70年代末被發現，並在1983年至1995年間成為大規模地表和地下勘探的重點。該期間共完成了63個核心鑽孔，總鑽探長度達14,330米，同時從1990年開始進行1.7公里的地下開發工作，包括一條300米長的隧道，連接到礦化區腳牆內700多米長的巷道，並在礦化區內設置了7條橫切巷道用於取樣。這些勘探工作最終形成了一套多卷本的研究成果，涵蓋鑽探日誌、分析報告、鑽探平面圖、礦床模型研究、岩相學研究、冶金研究等。所有研究由斯洛伐克地質研究所完成，並於1992年發布了一套多卷本的報告。根據這份歷史報告，Trojarová 的資源估算使用了蘇聯解體後俄羅斯分類體系的斯洛伐克版本，而這一體系與加拿大礦業、冶金和石油協會（CIM）制定的資源與儲量分類標準並不直接兼容。斯洛伐克地質研究所——負責 Trojarová 所有勘探和地下開發工作的國家機構——將資源分類為“P1”，這一分類在 CIM 分類體系中最接近於“推測礦產資源”。根據 CIM 的定義，“推測礦產資源”是基於有限的地質證據，並通過適當取樣技術從露頭、溝槽、礦坑、作業和鑽孔等位置估算的資源。1992年的報告包含一張表格，列出了十種不同的歷史資源估算情景，其中五種集中於礦化系統的銻成分，五種集中於其金成分。這些估算表格分別顯示了隨著品位提高而噸位減少的趨勢。Trojarová 歷史資源估算情景（來源：Michel 等，1992）如需查看該圖表的增強版本，請訪問：https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_001full.jpg 在完成合併後，公司將通過確認鑽探計劃驗證這一歷史資源估算，以便根據《國家文書43-101礦產項目披露標準》（National Instrument 43-101）將 Trojarová 的礦產資源分類為當前資源。顯示軍事金屬公司在斯洛伐克項目位置的地圖如需查看該圖表的增強版本，請訪問：https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_002full.jpg 投資者關係活動：公司宣布已簽訂與營銷和投資者關係相關的協議。根據2024年10月24日的新聞稿，公司聘請了 Clarkham Capital（簡稱“Clarkham”）提供投資者關係服務，重點針對德國股票市場和德語投資社群，以支持公司在法蘭克福證券交易所上市（簡稱“Clarkham協議”）。Clarkham 協議將於2024年11月18日生效。根據協議條款，Clarkham 將提供包括社交媒體管理、內容創建、分發、數位營銷在內的服務，例如在多種金融平台和新聞通訊上撰寫文章和報導、在德國翻譯和發布新聞稿，以及其他與公司商定的營銷服務（簡稱“Clarkham服務”）。該協議有效期為兩個月，公司將一次性支付200,000歐元（約合298,340加元）作為服務費用。Clarkham 服務將由 Sebastian Korbach 代表 Clarkham 提供，聯繫方式為 +44-20-38839398 或 cc@clarkham.com。Clarkham 與公司不存在任何直接或間接的利益關係，也無權獲取公司或其證券的任何權益。此外，公司與 Robert Sinn（簡稱“Sinn”）簽訂了一項一次性媒體服務協議。根據協議，Sinn 將提供包括視頻內容創建、分發和數位營銷在內的服務，這些服務將與一段視頻採訪相關，並將在 BNN Bloomberg 等投資平台上發布（簡稱“Sinn服務”）。Sinn 服務將於2024年11月20日開始，公司將一次性支付2,500美元作為服務費用。Sinn 的聯繫方式為 +352-613-2850 或 ceotechnician@gmail.com，地址為 Suite 508, 416 SW 1st Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33301。Sinn 與公司不存在任何直接或間接的利益關係，也無權獲取公司或其證券的任何權益。2024年11月15日，公司與 GRA Enterprises LLC（以國家通貨膨脹協會 [NIA] 名義經營）簽訂了一項媒體服務合同（簡稱“NIA協議”）。根據 NIA 協議的條款，NIA 將為公司提供包括社交媒體管理、內容創建、分發、數位營銷在內的服務，以及其他公司與 NIA 商定的營銷服務（簡稱“NIA服務”）。這些服務將通過諸如 BNN Bloomberg 和 Benzinga 等受歡迎的投資者平台進行分發。NIA 協議的期限為三（3）個月，預計於2024年11月18日左右開始。公司將一次性支付 NIA 30,000美元作為服務費用。Gerard Adams 將代表 NIA 為公司提供服務，其聯繫方式為 +973-277-7674 或 inflationusceo@gmail.com，地址為 112 Camp Lane, Mooresville, NC 28117。公司不會向 NIA 提供任何形式的證券作為補償。Gerard Adams 和 NIA 與公司不存在任何直接或間接的利益關係，也無權獲取公司或其證券的任何權益。本新聞稿的技術內容已由 Avrom E.

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 historical estimate at Trojarová 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 Slovak Geological Institute, the State agency that carried out all exploration and underground development work at Trojarová, 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.The 1992 Report contains a table featuring ten 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. This table is shown below.Historical alternate resource estimate scenarios for Trojarova(source: Michel et al, 1992)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_001full.jpgUpon completion of the Amalgamation, the Company will move forward to verify this historical estimate through a program of confirmation drilling so that it is able to classify mineral resources at Trojarová as current, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.Map showing the location of Military's properties in SlovakiaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_002full.jpgInvestor Relations Engagements:The Company further announces entry into agreements related to marketing and investor relations.

JAKARTA, Nov 13, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PT PLN (Persero) is promoting participation with the global community during the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29) hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11 to 22, 2024. This initiative is in harmony with the nation's objective of an energy transition towards sustainable energy self-sufficiency.Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Indonesia's Special Envoy to COP29Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Indonesia's Special Envoy to COP29, stated that under President Prabowo Subianto's leadership, Indonesia is committed to sustaining existing commitments made by preceding presidents to accelerate the energy transition and mitigate climate change."We will keep our commitments and develop new programs led by President Prabowo. Among these is an initiative to add 100 gigawatts of new power generation over the next 15 years, with renewable energy accounting for 75% (75 gigawatts). This ambitious initiative will necessitate USD 235 billion in investment," Hashim remarked at the opening of the Indonesian Pavilion at COP29 on Monday, November 11.Hashim also highlighted additional commitments, such as carbon emission reduction through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. Indonesia is prepared to collaborate with multinational companies and other stakeholders interested in investing in this sector."Indonesia is blessed with vast saline aquifers, both onshore and offshore, providing an estimated carbon storage capacity of 500 gigatons," Hashim said.Indonesia invites international stakeholders to join in combating global warming, he noted, as the impact of climate change in Indonesia is part of a broader global challenge. "This journey will take years; it cannot be done overnight. It requires funding, technology, and knowledge," Hashim emphasized. Minister of Environment Hanif Faisol Nurofiq expressed optimism about the role of the Indonesian Pavilion at COP29, not only for Indonesia but also as a platform for global collaboration on climate mitigation solutions."The COP29 theme strongly aligns with our (Indonesian) pavilion theme, 'Sustainability Stronger Together.' This concept reflects our belief that through cooperation among nations, sectors, and communities, we can address climate change effectively," Faisol noted.The Indonesian Pavilion has three main objectives: representing Indonesia's climate diplomacy, promoting Indonesia's comprehensive climate mitigation efforts, and exploring new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities for strengthening climate resilience worldwide. Minister of Forestry Raja Juli Antoni emphasized that economic growth must be balanced with environmental protection, particularly forest conservation. He urged all stakeholders to participate in these efforts to achieve sustainable economic growth. "I encourage everyone to address our current forestry issues together. Collaboration is our collective responsibility to protect and conserve our forests, making them a source of prosperity for future generations," Raja Juli remarked. PLN CEO Darmawan Prasodjo reiterated PLN's commitment to support the Indonesian government's goal of adding new power generation capacity to achieve sustainable energy self-sufficiency. He noted that PLN has developed a roadmap and is expanding partnerships with local and global stakeholders."As the backbone of Indonesia's energy security, PLN is optimistic about achieving this target through a transition strategy focused on renewable energy and continuous sustainable development," Darmawan explained. To meet these goals, PLN has planned a Green Enabling Transmission Line to deliver clean energy from renewable sources in remote areas. Spanning 70,000 kilometers, this transmission network will connect Indonesian islands and transport clean electricity to urban demand centers. Darmawan also stressed that PLN continues to increase its renewable energy generation capacity and harness Indonesia's clean energy potential. "PLN is committed to developing supporting infrastructure, including smart grids, smart control systems, intelligent distribution, and battery storage systems to maximize renewable energy use," he stated. Collaboration, Darmawan emphasized, is essential. "PLN actively participates in global events like COP29 to strengthen partnerships for achieving sustainable energy self-sufficiency." "Global community efforts, including sustainable investments, technology transfer, and supportive policies for renewable energy development, are crucial," Darmawan concluded.Source: Antara for PLN ( https://web.pln.co.id/en/sustainability/sustainability ) Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, Nov 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - While most credit cards offer common benefits like fraud protection, they may differ based on their features and benefits. Before applying for a particular credit card, it's helpful to understand the different types of credit cards and how they work. Explore the different types of credit cards below.Travel Credit CardsTravel credit cards offer opportunities to earn and/or redeem rewards against travel purchases. For example, the Citi PremierMiles Card lets cardmembers earn 1.2 Citi Miles for every S$1 spent locally and 2.2 Citi Miles for every S$1 spent in foreign currency. Enjoy two annual complimentary airport lounge visits and get up to S$1 million in insurance coverage. While the exact benefits of a travel credit card may vary, travel cards provide exceptional value for people who travel often.Rewards Credit CardRewards credit cards help cardmembers earn points with every swipe and are an excellent choice for people who want more from their shopping experiences. Some rewards cards offer points with every purchase, others offer bonus rewards when cardmembers shop from categories like fuel, groceries, dining, entertainment, etc. The Citi Prestige Card earns rewards on all local and overseas spends and offers premium experiences like lounge access, golf privileges, concierge services, complimentary night hotel stay worldwide and more.Cash back CardsCash back cards provide cardmembers cash rebates on eligible transactions, making them a great option for people who prioritize savings. Some cash back cards allow redemption through shopping vouchers while others allow cardmembers to apply cash back toward credit card bill payments. Citi offers four different cash back credit cards that offer a range of benefits suited to different lifestyles and preferences. This includes the Citi Cash Back+ card where there is no cap on cash back earned and cash back earned does not expire.Business Credit CardsCorporate or business credit cards are created to simplify payments for businesses. They help business owners create a separate line of credit for their company, enable fast and seamless payments, and offer rewards like points or cash back. Business credit cards can help with expense tracking and management while offering exclusive privileges and deals to cardholders like complimentary travel insurance and corporate liability waiver insurance. Citi offers three business credit cards that offer exceptional benefits and discounts on restaurants, travel bookings and more.Student Credit CardStudent credit cards offer young adults the chance to build credit and enjoy great deals. The Citi Clear Card has no minimum income requirement and allows cardmembers to earn rewards on every purchase and enjoy the safety of secure transactions. Student credit cards are one way for first time cardholders to learn how credit works, make the best of rewards programs like ThankYou rewards, and get an array of discounts through Citi World Privileges.Choosing the right credit cardRemember that it's vital to compare credit cards to properly identify the best fit. Here are a few things to consider before applying for a credit card:Benefits and rewards: Aspiring cardmembers should identify areas where they spend the most and find a credit card that rewards those purchases. Bargain hunters can prioritize credit card rewards programs that favour spending on fuel, groceries, entertainment, and dining. Adventurers and business travellers may travel often enough to justify a travel credit card to earn miles and get airport lounge access.Fees and interest: Credit cards carry annual fees, and premium cards may have higher fees than basic cards. Usually, the annual fees will give additional perks back to the customer in the form of points or miles. Card applicants should be informed about fees and charges before applying for a card.Reward complexity: Many cardmembers miss out on opportunities to redeem their points because they don't understand the redemption process. A complex rewards program with category-specific benefits or many redemption rules may not be for everyone. A simple program with no minimum spends and a flat cashback rate on all or most purchases is ideal for many people. It's also important to understand when rewards expire.The right credit card can make purchases and payments easier and more rewarding. But it's important to consider the pros and cons of credit cards, carefully read the terms and conditions, and consider individual needs before making a suitable choice.Citibank SingaporeCitibank Singapore offers consumers and institutions a range of financial products and services, including consumer and investment banking, credit cards, and personal loans.

SINGAPORE, Nov 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - APTEXPO 2024, the global platform for top decision-makers in textiles, apparel, fashion and their supply chains, has concluded its inaugural edition after an exciting three days of activities in Singapore. With industry players in attendance for on-stage panel discussions, numerous new product launches and showcases, and high-level closed-door discussions, the convention has elevated the stage for resounding change.From 2000 to 2020, Asia's population grew by an additional 1.7 billion people, which has brought challenges like inventory surpluses and inefficiencies. Export volumes increased by 50 billion units, with an estimated 70% of these products ending up in landfills or incineration facilities. If left unaddressed, these could exacerbate system-level disruptions that affect consumers and their way of life. These challenges present an opportunity not only to responsibly minimise negative externalities and maximise operational efficiency alone in Asia but also to invest in innovation, growth and long- term value creation in its supply chains.Yet, reshaping and enhancing supply chain resilience is a complex, time consuming, and costly exercise that requires the trust and cooperation of active supply chain and business partners. ASEAN countries and the broader Asia-Pacific region are well placed to offer businesses, especially Asian brands, a unique opportunity to strengthen their supply chains, equipping them for a more sustainable future.The diversity in the profiles of the attendees — who represent organisations involved in various aspects of textiles, apparel, fashion and other supply chain activities across various geographies — demonstrates APTEXPO 2024’s central role in connecting the textile and apparel supply chain worldwide.A significant milestone was reached on Day 1 of APTEXPO 2024 by formally signing a collaboration agreement. APTEXPO 2024, with the support of the founding associations AFTEX and CNTAC, inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Lazada Group, which sees both organisations formally agree to come and jointly deploy their capabilities to promote emerging fashion brands from Asia.From Left to Right: Yap Shook Fung, Vice President, MP Singapore, Liang Peng Cheng, Executive Vice-Chairman, Sub-Council of Textile Industry, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT TEX), Jason Chen, Group Chief Business Officer at Lazada & Chief Executive Officer at Lazada Singapore.“Through this MOU with APTEXPO, Lazada will work closely with Asian manufacturers to help them build, promote and expand the reach of their brands to our vibrant customer base across the six Southeast Asian economies where we operate. What sets Lazada apart is our dynamic ecosystem, our vast logistics infrastructure and cutting-edge technology, and our deep market insights across Southeast Asia. We’re excited to leverage these strengths to empower brands, enabling them to seamlessly enter and thrive in this diverse region”, said Jason Chen, Group Chief Business Officer, Lazada and Chief Executive Officer, Lazada Singapore.Delegates after the formal signing of the MOU.“APTEXPO 2024 has shown that innovation in textiles and fashion is a team effort—across geographies, industries, and expertise. The future of fashion is shifting eastward, and APTEXPO 2024 is evidence of the global demand for unique Asian brands,” said Liang Peng Cheng, Executive Vice Chairman of the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT TEX).On Day 2 of APTEXPO 2024, visitors discovered many solutions like Browzwear’s leading 3D apparel design software, which bring tremendous potential for application. Top-tier innovations from up-and- coming Asian designers, representing delegations from the Singapore Fashion Council (SFC), the Confederation of Wearables Exporters of the Philippines (CONWEP), Quanzhou Pavilion and the Ningo Committee of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), were also on display to visitors at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, the convention’s premises this year.On Day 3 of APTEXPO 2024, two formal networking sessions were held, connecting participants for introductions, strategic dealmaking and other forms of collaboration for sustainable textiles production and Chinese market opportunities. Further to the panel discussions held on Day 1 (more info can be found here), they also heard from experts from Douyin, Lazada, AFITTY Solutions and others at two exclusive closed-door workshops that covered industry-relevant discussions on sourcing, branding and investment opportunities in the Asia Pacific region.“We are excited to be part of the inaugural APTEXPO 2024. We believe this was a good start and an excellent platform to springboard the restructuring of the textile and apparel supply chain industry, strengthening the ecosystems between the different markets within the Asia-Pacific region. We intend to work with our partners and stakeholders to continue the momentum that has been set this year and to accelerate the transformation in 2025 and beyond”, said Jason Ng, Managing Director, MP Singapore.Through its programming lineup, APTEXPO continues to deliver opportunities for collaboration and change-making in the textiles and fashion ecosystem. APTEXPO will be back in Singapore in November 2025.For more information on APTEXPO 2024, please visit ap-texpo.com.Hashtag: #aptexpohttps://ap-texpo.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/aptexpo-2024https://www.facebook.com/aptexpo2024/About AFTEXASEAN Federation of Textile Industries (AFTEX) was established in 1978 with the objective to promote common trade position and cooperation among textile and apparel industry in ASEAN member countries in line with the objective of the ASEAN Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ASEAN-CCI).Every year, AFTEX hold its regular meetings plus side events on a rotational basis among member countries to discuss concrete issues of significant relevance to the regional growth and development of the textile and apparel industry, ranging from ASEAN trade linkages to workforce development, from trade fairs & investment promotion to sustainability issue, from regional cooperation to broader partnerships, and more.About CNTACChina National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC) is a national federation serving China's textile and apparel industry and enterprises.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 14, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") is pleased to announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Amador Mining LLC, to acquire the past-producing Last Chance (aka Wall Canyon) antimony-gold property ("Last Chance" or "the Property"), located in Nye County Nevada.The property is located 18km (11 miles) due west of the Round Mountain Gold Mine, and is accessible by road NF-157 that runs west from Highway 376 into the Toiyabe National Forest. The nearest town is Tonopah. The elevation at the historical mineshaft on the property is just under 8,000 feet above sea level. Prospecting for gold in the area - the Jett Mining District, dates back to the 1870s, leading to the discovery of the Last Chance historical antimony mine. First recorded production of antimony was in 1915 with mining activity recorded throughout both World War One and Two and then in 1957-58, as well. Mostly gold-focused exploration work by the United States Geological Survey and Nevada Bureau of Mines during the 1980s further documented antimony and associated gold mineralization in the area, leading to the development of a small (historical) low-grade gold resource.Historical mining and drill data indicate that antimony mineralization is both structurally and stratigraphically controlled, hosted in faults and receptive carbonate units, in quartz veins that crosscut gold-mineralized zones indicating that it is part of a younger mineralizing event. Dikes of serpentinized ultramafics are known nearby although this relationship may be more rheological versus metallogenic (exploiting the same structures), given what is known about the age and metallogenesis of epithermal gold deposits in the region.Military plans a program of detailed surface mapping and sampling upon which a drilling program to test the full potential of the system will be undertaken. The Company plans to enter a definitive purchase agreement within 30 days, and has provided a $10,000 USD exclusivity deposit to the seller. The pending acquisition includes the past-producing mine and covers 5 unpatented mineral claims for total compensation of $45,000 USD and includes a 2% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR").The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E. Howard, MSc, PGeo, geological consultant to Military Metals and a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/229931_a9822e8c04a2183d_001full.jpgAbout Military Metals Corp.

東京, 2024年11月14日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 田中貴金屬集團核心企業──以產業用貴金屬展開事業的田中貴金屬工業株式會社（總公司：東京都中央區，執行總裁：田中 浩一朗）宣布為全球首次成功開發出將白金（鉑、Pt）材料晶粒粒徑※2控制在奈米級的塊狀體※3。就一般金屬的塊狀體來說，其平均粒徑最小約為10μm左右，而在此新技術中，我們能夠將晶粒平均粒徑控制在奈米大小，且可以製造出純度99.9%以上的高純度白金材料，其硬度為一般白金材料的10倍，強度為一般白金材料的4倍。在含有貴金屬的金屬材料中，眾所周知晶粒尺寸越小，其金屬的各項特性則越加提升。近年來，在鋼鐵材料與非鐵金屬方面，透過強力加工予以極大的塑性變形※5以及形成再結晶結構，藉此實現了將晶粒粒徑的尺寸奈米化。金屬材料雖然會因為強力加工導致短時間的加工硬化※6，但就高純度的貴金屬材料來說，由於構成晶體的原子進行重新排列以及新晶粒的成核和成長在幾個小時到幾天內就會發生，且會出現材料硬度明顯下降（軟化）的現象等緣故，所以過去要透過強力加工將晶粒微細化是非常困難的。此次，田中貴金屬工業透過優化製程成功將白金的晶粒粒徑控制在奈米大小，同時將其塊狀化。使用此技術製造的白金材料，其硬度和強度比一般的白金還更有顯著提升。這是因為在整個材料中，存在著高密度的小角度晶界、大角度晶界或排差等晶格缺陷，所以儘管其為純白金，所顯示出的特性與一般為人所知的白金特性還是有很大的不同。作為一種高純度白金且展現出高機能的新材料，將有望應用到電子產業與航空航太領域等廣泛產業。關於奈米晶粒材料的開發大多數的金屬材料為多晶體，是由小晶粒所組成。金屬則是透過把組成的晶粒微細化，使其材料特性有所提升。晶粒若是越小，在整個材料中的晶粒邊界或排差等晶格缺陷所佔的比例就會越高。相較於廣為人所討論的金屬材料物理性質與特性的狀況，在擁有奈米級晶粒粒徑的材料上，由於其晶格缺陷的比例高到難以相比，從而產生與過去的材料截然不同的獨特物理性質和特性。（※1） 全球第一：截至2024年10月30日，自家公司的調查（從白金材料塊狀體的專利和論文中調查）（※2） 晶粒、晶粒粒徑：金屬材料具有原子會規律排列的結構。在此結構中，原子排列位向不同的各個區域稱為晶粒，而晶粒的尺寸稱為晶粒粒徑。（※3） 塊狀、塊狀體：非物質表面而是其內部具有三維結合的原子群稱為塊狀。而具有此種塊狀結構的固體稱為塊狀體。（※4） EBSD：藉由電子束照射具有晶體結構的材料，分析材料表面產生的電子背向散射繞射，來調查材料的晶體資訊（晶系、粒徑、方向性）的方法。（※5） 塑性變形：在對材料施加外力產生的形變中，即使去除外力材料也不會恢復原狀的一種形變。（※6） 加工硬化：透過將應力施加在金屬上，在塑性變形積蓄後，導致金屬變硬的現象。（※7） Royal Pure Platinum：在保有99.9%純度的同時，還比普通的純白金材料有更大的硬度和強度，是田中貴金屬工業的原創素材。關於田中貴金屬集團田中貴金屬集團自1885年（明治18年）創業以來，營業範圍向來以貴金屬為中心，並以此展開廣泛 活動。在日本國內，以最高水準的貴金屬交易量為傲的田中貴金屬集團，長年以來除了進行產業用貴 金屬產品的製造和販售外，也供應貴金屬製作珠寶飾品和投資型貴金屬商品。本集團以貴金屬專業團隊之姿，旗下的國內外各集團公司協調合作，使製造、販售與技術一體化，並供應相關產品與服務。2023 年度（2023年12月止）的合併營業額為6,111億日圓，擁有5,355名員工。產業事業全球網站https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com/tw/產品諮詢表田中貴金屬工業株式會社https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com/tw/inquiries-on-industrial-products/新聞媒體諮詢處田中控股株式會社https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com/tw/inquiries-for-media/新聞稿: http://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20241114_CT.pdf Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

SEATTLE, WA, Nov 12, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Spectral Capital (OTCQB: FCCN), FCCN Spectral Capital's Chairman, Sean Brehm shares insights into Spectral’s DQLDB and The Vogon Cloud. Spectral Capital Group a leading innovator in decentralized cloud technology and advanced quantum ledger solutions outlines its vision for Spectral’s Vogon DQLDB with Plato Data Intelligence's Bryan Feinberg.Bryan Feinberg: Sean, I saw your post on X about Vogon DQLDB and its potential to transform financial systems. You mentioned the importance of human identity at the heart of commercial and capital markets. Can you explain what drives this visionSean Michael Brehm: At the heart of every market transaction is human identity—the sum of each individual’s daily contributions to the commercial world. This goes beyond financial exchanges; it’s about our choices, our interactions, and our values reflected in the economy. Our Vogon DQLDB is built with this central idea: each person's activity—whether buying, selling, or investing—is a piece of a larger narrative. By indexing these contributions using MSCI’s GICS standards, we categorize each transaction into primary, secondary, and tertiary subindustries, which provides a transparent, honest representation of our roles in the market. This kind of system gives people credit for the economic impact they bring.Bryan Feinberg: So, if I understand correctly, Vogon DQLDB is like a giant record-keeper that recognizes each person’s economic actions—whether I buy coffee, invest, or sell a used phone—as meaningful contributions. It tags each action to specific industries, showing that each of us is part of the economic story. Does that mean we’d all have a role in the markets beyond just being consumers Am I understanding that right, SeanSean Michael Brehm: Each transaction you make isn’t just about the money; it’s about showing your unique place and contribution in the economy regardless if you are in Boston or Botswana. By tagging actions to sub industries, we’re essentially writing a story where every participant is an author, making the market more inclusive and giving a clear picture of everyone’s impact. You’re not just a consumer; you’re a contributor to the system’s transparency and stability. Today your data is sold to others that do that and you don’t get any of the credit. Moving forward you remain the custodian of your data, meaning you control how it’s accessed and used within the system.Bryan Feinberg: You mentioned that this indexing could make Vogon DQLDB a modern version of the Buttonwood Agreement, returning transparency to the markets. How does that transparency affect market stability and honestySean Michael Brehm: Our team is passionate about returning global markets to the transparency that the Buttonwood Agreement symbolized back in 1792. Back then, agreements were based on mutual accountability and a shared framework. By indexing each person’s contributions and categorizing transactions transparently, Vogon DQLDB restores a sense of trust. It shows how individual contributions make up the foundation of commercial and capital markets. This visibility helps create a more stable system, where people know their daily actions, large or small, are recorded and valued. It’s a fundamental shift back to the ethos of fair and open markets.Bryan Feinberg: This sounds like a fair trade simplification engine where people could see the full picture, with everyone’s contributions kept out in the open, so it’s clear how they matter. Would this make it harder for anyone to ‘game’ the systemSean Michael Brehm: It is all about fair trade and putting the human identity where it belongs: At the center of commercial and capital markets. Just like in the original Buttonwood Agreement, people would understand how their actions impact the system and trust that they’re being accounted for honestly. By making everything visible, we’re closing loopholes that might allow manipulations, making it easier for everyone to see the real, fair value of their contributions. Additionally, Vogon DQLDB employs advanced data encryption to protect individual data, so each person’s data is secure while remaining visible for regulatory and systemic oversight.Bryan Feinberg: Indexing transactions with the GICS standards is an innovative idea. Can you explain how this process works within DQLDBSean Michael Brehm: When someone makes a transaction, Vogon DQLDB automatically categorizes it according to MSCI’s GICS standards, tagging it to a primary, secondary, and tertiary subindustry. This indexing means that every action—sale, investment, or trade—gets transparently attributed within the market. DQLDB essentially creates a ledger transaction and a transparent, user-owned database organized as coalitions, where the impact of each transaction is visible and accountable. Individuals maintain custodianship over their data, meaning they can access, review, and even limit how this data is used in certain contexts. Their identity is protected by post quantum cryptography. This way, we see exactly where your human effort drives the market and how industries connect to individual and collective activity. It’s a level of granularity in understanding our economic footprint that’s never been possible before and because you remain anonymous, it drives the value of your data up further.Bryan Feinberg: If I buy something, the system tags that purchase based on what industry it falls into—like ‘Food and Drink’ if I buy lunch or ‘Tech’ if I buy a laptop. By tracking all my activities this way, DQLDB builds a clear picture of which industries are thriving or struggling based on my actions. Would it be like a mirror reflecting where I am putting all my money and timeSean Michael Brehm: It’s exactly that—a mirror reflecting our individual and collective choices that drive the economy. It provides an accurate picture of which industries matter most based on individual actions. Plus, it helps both individuals and businesses make informed choices by showing how their economic footprint interacts with market trends.Bryan Feinberg: You’ve talked about Vogon DQLDB supporting regulatory compliance. How does this focus on human identity and transaction visibility play out for financial oversightSean Michael Brehm: With Vogon DQLDB, regulators get a transparent, unbiased view of the market’s structure, right down to individual contributions. Each transaction reflects an identity within its industry, showing patterns that could reveal stability or potential risks. For example, if regulators notice a concentration of activity in specific sectors or a sudden shift in consumer behavior, they can respond proactively. This visibility helps create honest markets where contributions aren’t hidden or obscured but instead provide a stable foundation for economic oversight. We’re also in discussions with financial regulatory bodies to align our approach with industry standards, ensuring Vogon DQLDB can meet compliance requirements globally. It’s about building a fairer market system that operates with each participant's best interests in mind.Bryan Feinberg: The DQLDB essentially lets regulators ‘see’ the entire market more clearly—like a map that shows where all the action is happening and helps them spot risky trends early on. How does this make it easier to keep the market stable and safe for everyoneSean Michael Brehm: Now, with the Vogon DQLDB, regulators have a map to follow the action across sectors and industries in real time. They can react faster to shifts, and this creates a stable environment where everyone’s interests are protected. By enhancing transparency, we’re also limiting opportunities for shady practices to slip through the cracks.Bryan Feinberg: Your post also touched on high-frequency transactions. How does the Vogon DQLDB balance technical efficiency with personal, transparent data representationSean Michael Brehm: Vogon is designed for both speed and integrity. With our epoch-based structuring and VMerkelPairs, it handles high-frequency data while preserving each transaction’s unique identity. Every data entry in the ledger-database is preserved with its industry attribution, creating a clear, real-time trail of our daily economic footprint. This is essential for creating an open, honest system where people see how their actions contribute to the broader economy. Vogon DQLDB doesn’t just record transactions—it reflects them back as part of a shared economic narrative, helping people feel involved while also using energy-efficient processes that reduce its carbon footprint. This way, we support both high transaction speeds and environmental responsibility.Bryan Feinberg: So, the technology is fast enough to handle lots of transactions per second, but it doesn’t lose track of what each transaction actually represents. Is it fair to say that, even though the system processes everything at high speed, it still keeps a ‘personal touch’ by showing the meaning behind each transaction and keeping it secureSean Michael Brehm: Even though it’s fast, DQLDB is about showing how each one of your transactions—or organizational transactions—fits into the bigger picture. It does so security. Every action is recorded in a way that preserves its importance, so we see not just numbers but the real, human impact behind them and how businesses and governments use them responsibly.Bryan Feinberg: Hearing about this focus on human identity, how do you see Vogon DQLDB impacting financial interactions for everyday peopleSean Michael Brehm: At Spectral Capital, we believe it represents a shift from seeing markets as abstract entities to understanding them as a community of individual identities and choices. For the first time, people can see themselves in the market, with their transactions categorized transparently and their contributions valued. This return to transparency and inclusivity builds trust, making financial systems more accessible and relatable. Imagine a world where each person knows their economic role and sees their efforts contributing to market stability. We’re also launching pilot programs in the retail and banking sectors to illustrate this vision, making the market feel less distant and helping people see how their choices influence the system.Bryan Feinberg: I guess another way to look at this is that Vogon DQLDB will help people feel like they really matter in the financial system. Instead of the market being this distant, mysterious thing, we’d all see our own impact, and it would help us feel more involved.Sean Michael Brehm: Yes, don’t you think that the market should reflect each of us, not feel like a faceless machine Instead of your mobile phone data going to large institutions, it remains yours on the Vogon DQLDB brings and it brings your contributions front and center, making people feel connected and giving everyone a meaningful stake in a fair, stable financial future.Bryan Feinberg: Thank you, Sean. This vision of a human-centered market system is both powerful and timely. We look forward to seeing how Vogon DQLDB brings this vision to life.About FCCN Spectral Capital (OTCQB: FCCN)Based in Seattle, Washington, FCCN Spectral Capital is a leading innovator in decentralized cloud solutions, powered by advanced quantum ledger technology.

SINGAPORE, Nov 13, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Philippines' Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) has announced at the Singapore FinTech Festival its strategic collaboration to pilot its Digital 2.0 Marketplace, which will define the future of digital distribution. Banks can follow a platform approach built around unbundling and re-assembling products and services through Open Platforms. RCBC will become the first bank in Southeast Asia to offer this platform. This groundbreaking marketplace will transform banking services by enabling real-time service creation through automation, providing significant benefits to customers and RCBC's global strategic partners."We aim to make banking and related services accessible to Filipinos worldwide, and our ongoing commitment to innovation will make this a reality. With APIwiz, we can manage and govern our Application Protocol Interface (APIs) in real-time and leverage composable APIs to comply, compete, and collaborate, allowing us to offer a wide range of unprecedented services that customers in this market have never experienced before through platform banking," shared Lito Villanueva, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation & Inclusion Officer, RCBC.APIs serve as the essential connectors in modern banking while platform banking continues to evolve. Banks should prioritize deploying and integrating service meshes in the short term to facilitate interactions with legacy core banking systems. This approach acts as a gateway for external connections and speeds up integration by exposing well-defined APIs. Over time, banks are expected to transition to microservices-based core platforms, fostering a more scalable and flexible ecosystem."This transition will enable a true platform banking environment streamlining API integration and deployment, accelerating banks' transition to modern, microservices-based platforms for enhanced flexibility and scalability," shared John Alabastro, IT Shared Services Group Head & CTO, RCBC"APIwiz, an end-end API platform, allows enterprises to build, govern, and operate APIs effectively. APIs are the digital glue of modern banking; however, the number of APIs used in banking is growing exponentially, and an API platform is needed to simplify, standardize, centralize, and automate API delivery. Open banking helps create innovative business models. Using APIs, RCBC can transform itself from a business to a platform, multiplying value creation by enabling business ecosystems within and outside the enterprise," shared Darshan Shivashankar, Founder and CEO of APIwiz."Supporting the execution of this strategic partnership is Hungry Workhorse, a Manila-based services company specializing in digital and cultural transformation and a partner of APIwiz. "This collaboration places RCBC as a Filipino company at the forefront of innovation and digital experiences, demonstrating its strong commitment to empowering Filipinos on their financial journey and making it more accessible and easier, no matter where they are," according to Kay Calpo-Lugtu, COO of Hungry Workhorse.About Rizal Commercial Banking CorporationPart of the Yuchengco Group of Companies, Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) is the fifth largest privately owned universal bank in the Philippines, with over Php1.3 trillion in total resources as of June 30, 2024. It is an affiliate of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Japan's second-largest bank.For over 60 years, RCBC has been building a reputation for providing the best customer experience, award-winning digital banking services, and pioneering innovations. Euromoney and Asia Money have recognized it as the Philippines' Best Bank for Digital for five straight years (202020-2024). The Bank offers various banking and financial products and services to cater to diverse customer segments. It provides consumer, commercial, and corporate lending products, deposits and cash management solutions, treasury products, remittance services, and digital banking services.RCBC and its subsidiaries also offer corporate banking, wealth, trust, retail financing (auto, mortgage/housing loans, credit cards, and microfinance loans), remittance, leasing, and securities.About APIwizHeadquartered in California, APIwiz provides a centralized management platform for API operations, enabling the APIOps framework to develop consumable, monetizable APIs and fostering collaboration among business and technical stakeholders. With low-code tools, automation, and embedded governance, APIwiz streamlines the entire API lifecycle-from planning and design to building, managing, testing, securing, and publishing. Its federated gateway capabilities enable seamless integration with any API gateway while offering real-time insights into API usage, performance, compliance, and workflow visualizations without external tools.About Hungry WorkhorseHungry Workhorse is a digital, culture, and customer experience transformation consulting firm that drives transformational growth through innovative, grounded methodologies in strategy, technology, and people.Contact InformationAnurag ShuklaMarketing Manageranurag@apiwiz.com+14084317383SOURCE: APIwiz Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
