SINGAPORE, Jan 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Following its acquisition of ADK Global last year, Assembly today announced the full rebranding of all former ADK Global offices in Asia to Assembly, completing the first phase of the merger and first step towards creating Asia's first truly end-to-end brand performance agency. The unified network combines brand strategy, creative, media, data and commerce into one integrated tech-enabled offering built for measurable growth.From January 2026, markets including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, India and Australia will operate under the Assembly brand. Local leadership teams remain in place, ensuring continuity for existing clients while unlocking access to Assembly's global technology stack including the proprietary STAGE AI Experience Engine, scaled data capabilities, and Brand Performance Planning model. Clients benefit from a simpler experience with one agency, one framework, and deeper cross-market collaboration.Over the next 12 months, Assembly will roll out the STAGE AI Experience Engine across former ADK Global markets, including solutions such as COMPASS, Assembly's new marketing and audience intelligence platform; ALERTS, which provides real-time AI powered optimization; and SCENE, which delivers rapid MMM, creating a single tech stack for planning, measurement, and content optimization. Continued investment in AI-led products will connect ADK Global's creative strength directly into STAGE, unlocking more integrated, brand performance-driven outcomes.Assembly has also established a strategic partnership with ADK Japan through Stagwell's existing relationship, linking decades of creative leadership in Japan with Assembly's global scale, data and media capabilities. This partnership will open new doors for Japanese brands expanding globally and for international brands seeking to win in Japan with culturally resonant marketing."The real impact begins now. With one brand, one platform, and one connected data ecosystem, we can turn deep audience and creative insight into brand performance at scale. Asia's most ambitious brands want speed, simplicity, and work that truly moves people. This model gives them all three." said Richard Brosgill, APAC CEO, Assembly.Assembly's Global CEO, Rick Acampora adds, "APAC is shaping the future of brand performance and is equipped with the talent and technology to unite creativity, media, commerce and data as one. This is not just integration; it marks the beginning of an evolution in how we do business. We are building a connected model that delivers speed, cultural relevance, and measurable impact, and this approach will shape how we drive clients' brand growth globally."ABOUT ASSEMBLYAssembly is a global omnichannel agency built for brands that want a more modern approach to building brands that perform. Backed by the Stagwell network, we are a literal assembly of data, talent, and technology built to unlock smarter, faster, and better-performing outcomes from the bottom up -not the top down. Curious, collaborative, and driven by change, we are an agency of builders who believe the better the experience, the better the performance. We don't see brand and performance as an either/or.

SBX Product Line Will Feature First-Ever AI-Powered Blockchain-Based Age-Gating System for Vape ProductsIKE's patented biometric BLE Bluetooth chip and blockchain-based app will enable Charlie's to ensure that underage individuals will not be able to activate or utilize the Company's age-gated products.The IKE Licensing Agreement provides CHUC with a first mover advantage in youth access prevention (one of the FDA's top priorities) and a three-year exclusivity period for age-gated nicotine analogue products.Charlie's will test market the IKE age-gating system this spring with the Company's popular SBX nicotine analogue product line; simultaneously, Charlie's intends to incorporate the revolutionary technology into its PACHA branded Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS).COSTA MESA, CA, Jan 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Charlie's Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:CHUC) ("Charlie's" or the "Company"), an industry leader in the premium vapor products space, today reported that the Company has signed a definitive licensing agreement with IKE Tech LLC ("IKE") to commercialize the first-ever AI-powered blockchain-based age-gating system for vape products in the United States.E-cigarettes and related vapor products are widely recognized as lower risk alternatives to combustible cigarettes. Accordingly, over the last 15 years, e-cigarette usage in the United States has grown significantly while combustible cigarette smoking rates have dropped. Public health advocates are pleased by this development.80-90% of adult consumers prefer flavored vapor productsBoth the e-cigarette industry and public health officials have come to recognize that 80-90% of adult consumers prefer flavored vapor products over tobacco, menthol, or "clear" flavors and understand that most adult cigarette smokers will continue using traditional combustible products if flavored vapor products are not available. However, operating on the assumption that flavored vapor products can be highly attractive to youth - and that the priority for public health must be the prevention of nicotine usage by underage consumers - to date, the FDA has not authorized for sale in the United States a single flavored vapor product.California, Massachusetts, parts of New York State, and many other regions across the country have also imposed significant restrictions or outright bans on flavored ENDS products. These bans have led to an explosion of illicit foreign products, confusion among retailers, and, most unfortunately, to the elimination of legal flavored products as an option for many adult cigarette smokers who would prefer to switch to far less harmful (flavored) vapes.In this environment, it is apparent that the only way to provide adult smokers with the flavored vapor products that they desire over far more harmful combustible cigarettes, is to "age-gate" flavored vapor products in such a way as to eliminate the possibility that underage consumers can activate or utilize the devices.Numerous companies in the vapor products industry have spent years and millions of dollars on the development of age-gating systems. Most of these systems, however, do not feature "continuous age-gating" (and may, therefore, result in a scenario where the ineffectively age-gated product is purchased by an adult consumer and subsequently used by an underage individual), or the age-gating mechanism is so complex and cumbersome that it renders the device commercially infeasible. Further, to date, no age-gated vapor product has received FDA authorization to be sold in the US market.Continuous age-gating is the only effective means of preventing youth usageCharlie's age-gated SBX Disposable vape - utilizing IKE's patented technology - prevents underage consumers from activating or utilizing the device using BLE-enabled chips and biometric authentication to control the device continuously and in real-time.In a multi-center Human Factors Validation Study designed to evaluate (i) effectiveness in preventing underage access to the ENDS products, (ii) usability, and (iii) safety, results showed:100% of users successfully completed age verification0% of underage users were able to activate a device100% of devices deactivated after a period of inactivity or loss of Bluetooth signal91% rated the app "Extremely Easy" or "Very Easy" to useErrors occurred in only 1% of task attemptsThe results of the Human Factors Validation Study confirm that the IKE age-gating system effectively prevents underage access and provides a highly user-friendly experience for adults. Full findings from the study will be published on clinicaltrials.gov, and the Abstract can be found on https://www.iketech.com/clinical-trials/protocolsCharlie's will test market the IKE age-gating system this spring with a special line of the Company's popular SBX nicotine analogue product; simultaneously, Charlie's intends to incorporate the revolutionary technology into its PACHA branded Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS)."There is a large un-met need for technologies that can satisfy or accommodate concerns the FDA has related to youth access... which means there is a multi-BILLION market opportunity for flavored vapes that are inoperable for underage individuals," explained Henry Sicignano, Charlie's President. "We believe Charlie's could become the first Company to demonstrate to the FDA that age-gated flavored vape products are indeed ‘appropriate for the protection of public health.' Such a success would not only be game changing for Charlie's, but also transformational for the entire industry."John Patterson, President of IKE Tech explained, "IKE is establishing the blueprint for responsible vaping globally. Our agreement with Charlie's represents an industry first in deploying proprietary technologies that protect public health, enable regulatory compliance, and drive sustainable industry growth. We chose to partner with Charlie's because Charlie's non-nicotine SBX product line enables immediate deployment of age-gated technology to the US market, ahead of standard PMTA timelines. This partnership is proof that the industry can bring manufacturers, regulators, and innovators together to protect youth, secure the supply chain, and ensure responsible access for adults.""We believe age-gating is both a responsible business practice as well as a significant competitive advantage for Charlie's," commented Ryan Stump, Charlie's Chief Operating Officer. "By voluntarily age-gating a product that does not require FDA approval, Charlie's will demonstrate to public health officials - and to compliance-minded national convenience store chains - that the Company is absolutely committed to regulatory compliance and youth access prevention."About Charlie's Holdings, Inc.Charlie's Holdings, Inc.

Highly international in scope, the three fairs are bringing together exhibitors and buyers from around the world, creating networking and business opportunities and helping to foster cross-regional trade cooperation.The Joint Opening Ceremony for the Toys & Games Fair and Baby Products Fair was held this morning, officiated by Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government Under Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Dr Bernard Chan, HKTDC Executive Director Sophia Chong and HKTDC Toys Advisory Committee Chairman Bryant Chan.Jenny Koo, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said: “The three fairs, themed ‘New Play for All’, cover three key areas: play, growth and creativity. As Asia’s flagship trade event of its kind, the Toys & Games Fair is tapping into the immense potential of the pop toy and collectibles market. This year, we have launched the new ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion. Open to both trade buyers and the public, the pavilion offers enhanced cross-sector business opportunities, facilitating collaboration and enabling interaction with fans and collectors of designer toys."Ms Koo added: “The three fairs have attracted more than 2,600 exhibitors from 37 countries and regions, including new participants from Bangladesh, New Zealand and Norway, alongside returning exhibitors from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland, Asia-Pacific including ASEAN, the Middle East, South Africa, Europe and the United States, presenting a truly international lineup. The HKTDC has organised over 200 buyer missions from more than 40 countries and regions to attend and source products at the fairs. In addition to traditional distributors and importers, we have also invited major e-commerce platforms, importers, department stores, specialty retailers, retail chains and sourcing offices, creating new cross-regional and cross-sector opportunities for the industry."Three fairs reveal multiple product trendsSeveral product trends are emerging from this year's exhibitors, pointing the way forward for the industry to gain a first-mover advantage. These trends include:Pop culture and collectibles toys: The “kidult” and toy collecting markets continue to grow in popularity, injecting strong growth momentum into the toy industry. The “Pop & Play” pavilion brings together some 150 famous local and international IPs – including top names such as B.Duck, CardFun, CR7® LIFE, Hot Toys, LAURA, Moshow Toys, Play Bonito®, Room One, threezero, TUTU MOKEY and more.

The new Happy Ageing label is being introduced at this year’s Toys & Games Fair to help buyers identify toys and related products for seniors. More than 40 exhibitors will adopt the label and showcase relevant products, including colour-sorting exercises designed by a Hong Kong exhibitor that train muscles in the thumb, index and middle fingers using clips (Booth: 1CON-015); a companion plush toy that alleviates loneliness and soothes emotions for seniors (Booth: 1D-C38); and the DIY Flip Monster from Taiwan (Booth: 1D-C13).Sustainable products stimulate demand: In recent years, more parents have opted for eco-friendly toys to reduce their environmental impact, reflecting the trend for sustainable consumption. In addition to the Green Toys zone at the Toys & Games Fair, both the toys and stationery events employ the Green Solutions label for identification, with more than 400 exhibitors displaying the green leaf logo this year – an increase of approximately 10% compared to 2025.In the Green Toys zone, one exhibitor presents the Beach Life OBP Material Beach Funnel Set crafted from ocean bound plastic (OBP), transforming plastic waste that might otherwise pollute the oceans into delightful and engaging toys, while simultaneously sparking children's boundless creativity and hands-on skills on the beach (Booth: 1C-D02).

香港, 2026年1月12日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 1月8日，聯想控股旗下聯想之星與君聯資本所投手術機器人領軍企業精鋒醫療（02675.HK）成功登陸港交所，發行價為每股43.24港元，股票代碼：2675.HK。這家公司上市首日開盤漲超38%，市值達到230億港元。精鋒醫療成立於2017年，是中國領先的手術機器人公司，是中國首家、全球第二家同時取得多孔腔鏡手術機器人、單孔腔鏡手術機器人及自然腔道手術機器人註冊審批的公司。公司專注於手術機器人及配套器械的研發、生產與銷售，產品覆蓋泌尿外科、婦科、普外科、胸外科等多科室微創手術需求。精鋒醫療亦是國家高新技術企業、國家專精特新"小巨人"企業，曾獲2023年度國家科學技術進步獎二等獎。公司在全球共擁有700多項專利及專利申請，其中核心產品超過400項專利，創新突破打破了我國手術機器人領域進口技術的長期壟斷。作為一家醫療器械行業的先進手術機器人公司，精鋒醫療擁有多孔腔鏡手術機器人和單孔腔鏡手術機器人。弗若斯特沙利文資料顯示，2024年精鋒醫療在中國售出20台多孔腔鏡手術機器人，在國內製造商中銷量排名第一。截至2025年6月30日，公司核心產品全球銷售合約量已達61台，並已完成超過14,000例機器人輔助臨床手術，產品性能與可靠性得到市場驗證。2025年10月，精鋒醫療自主研發的精鋒單孔腔鏡手術機器人SP1000及單多孔手術機器人超級系統MSP2000正式獲得歐盟CE認證（MDR）。這標誌著全球首個"單多孔一體化"手術機器人平台成功進入國際市場，開啟了由中國智慧定義的"全能微創"手術新時代。聯想之星：連續出手兩次，唯一一家系統佈局醫療健康的早期投資機構一路走來，這家由天津大學校友王建辰和高元倩創立的公司得到了聯想之星、聯想控股、君聯資本、紅杉中國、博裕投資等眾多知名投資者的支持。其中，聯控旗下聯想之星是股東裡面唯一一家系統佈局醫療健康領域的早期投資機構。按照230億港元市值粗略計算，兩筆投資已經讓聯想之星獲得了近20倍的賬面回報。"精鋒醫療成功上市，也使得聯想之星在人工智能、機器人領域得到進一步深化。"聯想之星總裁、主管合伙人王明耀表示，"人工智能、機器人將持續改造各行各業，手術機器人是其中一個非常好的品類，會發揮越來越大的作用。"在2018年與精鋒醫療初次接觸，聯想之星團隊便發現對方在眾多方面表現驚艷，但嚴謹的他們選擇進一步調研，迅速啟動了對手術機器人賽道的橫向掃描與深度研究。通過走訪大量醫院與專家訪談，以及與業內人士交流，最終構成了他們重注前的信心與基礎。感受到這家公司蘊含的發展潛力後，聯想之星果斷做出投資的決定，並對其追加投資。此後，借助聯想之星的投後幫助和創業CEO特訓班等資源，精鋒醫療的發展得到進一步提速。事實上，在當時果斷並堅定地投手術機器人，需要莫大的勇氣和決心。能做出如此前瞻性的快速決策，源於聯想之星自上而下的打法，先做深入分析，然後再尋找項目。這樣的打法，也有賴於此前多年的認知、資源、經驗的積累。早在2010年，聯想之星便開始關注人工智能的底層技術。到了2015年，聯想之星明確了人工智能、機器人會持續改造各行各業，並獨立成立了投資小組，當時在硅谷的團隊也在該賽道投了幾十個項目。正是基於長期且深刻的認知，聯想之星在2020年拿出當時一次能給到單個項目的最大金額，並且在下一輪追加投資精鋒醫療，成為精鋒醫療股東里唯一一家系統性佈局醫療健康領域的早期投資機構。驕人成績的取得，也源於聯想之星在醫療健康領域的多年深耕。早在2010年，聯想之星便將醫療健康作為重點投資佈局的領域之一，成為最早系統佈局醫療健康領域的早期投資機構之一。隨著優秀的項目越投越多，這家投資機構在醫療健康領域形成了"生物醫藥"與"數智醫療"兩大板塊。在聯想之星的佈局中，生物醫藥包括創新藥、基因技術與服務、診斷與高值耗材等；數智醫療則是利用人工智能、大數據、機器人等技術，對藥物研發、醫療器械、醫療服務、保險支付與健康管理等各方面進行升級賦能的機會。隨著科創賽道競爭白熱化，聯想之星表示將選擇堅持投更"新"投更"精"。"投更新，是要在行業明確的趨勢和拐點到來之前，提前進行預判；投更精，是要在估值上漲的前提下，優中選優。"在王明耀看來，人工智能、機器人、大數據等最新技術與整個醫療產業的結合，實際上蘊含著非常大的機會，"基於聯想之星的能力和經驗積累，我們未來在醫療健康領域會繼續加大投入。"君聯資本：與社保基金中關村自主創新專項基金首次迎來投資企業上市聯想控股旗下君聯資本與社保基金中關村自主創新專項基金（以下簡稱"社保中關村專項基金"）亦在2024年、2025年三次投資精鋒醫療。投資後，君聯資本充分發揮在醫療科技領域的深厚產業資源與投後服務能力，在公司戰略規劃、高端人才引進、全球市場拓展等方面提供了支持，助力公司鞏固技術壁壘並加速產品商業化落地。作為中關村"先行先試"改革之一，社保中關村專項基金首次迎來投資企業上市，這一里程碑事件不僅彰顯了君聯資本在硬科技領域的敏銳洞察力和投資能力，更凸顯了長期耐心資本在支持科技創新方面邁出的重要一步。君聯資本表示：精鋒醫療的成功上市，是其以原創技術突破國際壟斷，引領中國手術機器人產業發展的標誌性成果。公司憑借全面的產品佈局、經臨床驗證的卓越性能以及快速商業化的能力，不僅在國內市場迅速確立領導地位，更在國際舞台上展現出強大競爭力。期待公司以上市為新起點，持續加大研發創新與生產投入，進一步拓展臨床應用與全球市場，賦能全球外科醫生與患者，為推動中國高端醫療裝備的自主可控與產業升級做出更大貢獻。長期以來，君聯資本在醫療健康領域進行系統性佈局，重點關注生物技術、創新藥、醫療器械及AI+醫療等前沿方向。在高端醫療器械與醫療機器人賽道，君聯資本表示，將持續看好具備底層技術創新和全球商業化能力的優秀企業。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2026年1月9日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 1月9日，全球領先的通用人工智能科技公司——MiniMax（0100.HK）正式登陸港交所。此次上市不僅是MiniMax發展歷程中的里程碑事件，更一舉刷新全球AGI行業最快IPO紀錄——從成立到掛牌僅用48個月，彰顯出公司極致的運營效率與強勁的全球化發展勢能，為全球AI行業的商業化進階樹立了全新標杆。全球化戰略成效顯著，付費用戶與單客價值雙重增長據悉，MiniMax成立於2022年初，自誕生之日起便秉持「生而全球化」的發展定位，是業內少數從創立初期就專注全模態大模型研發的科技企業。亮眼的市場表現印證了其全球化戰略的成功，2025年前九個月，公司營收實現同比超170%的爆發式增長，其中海外市場收入貢獻占比超70%。這種高增速的海外拓展節奏與「海外為主、國內為輔」的收入結構倒掛，不僅展現出MiniMax在全球AI市場的核心競爭力，更體現出公司產品與技術體系對不同區域市場的高度適配性，為行業全球化佈局提供了可借鑒的實踐樣本。同時，作為「全球唯四全模態進入第一梯隊」的大模型公司，MiniMax憑藉文本、語音、視頻全模態全棧自研構建的深厚技術護城河，成功打造了極具可拓展潛力的B+C雙輪商業閉環，並實現了高效的商業化落地。截至目前，MiniMax業務已覆蓋全球200多個國家和地區，累計服務用戶超2.12億。從2023年底到2025年9月30日的不到兩年時間裡，其AI原生產品付費用戶數暴漲15倍；截至2025年9月30日，To C端收入同比增長181%，To B端收入同比增長160%。其中，B端業務毛利率高達69.4%，展現出健康的盈利能力；C端營收占比超71%，成為驅動收入規模化增長的核心引擎。付費用戶規模與單客價值的雙重增長，凸顯MiniMax商業閉環的可行性與盈利潛力，以及市場對公司全模態技術產品的高度認可，同時，公司良性的增長格局亦為其未來業績的持續增長奠定了堅實基礎，也為後續業務拓展與技術創新提供了穩固的商業支撐。研發效率領先行業，上市賦能長期高質量發展在實現營收高速增長的同時，MiniMax展現出極強的成本控制與研發效率優勢。2025年前九個月，公司營收同比增長174.7%，研發開支僅同比增長30%；從成立至2025年9月，累計研發投入僅5億美元。對比行業巨頭Open AI累計400億至550億美元的研發花銷，MiniMax僅用不到1%的投入就躋身全球全模態大模型第一梯隊，這種極致性價比的研發模式，重塑了「AI研發需巨額資金堆砌」的行業固有認知。而此次成功登陸資本市場，一方面將為MiniMax構築堅實的現金流安全墊，有效增強企業抵禦市場波動的風險韌性，另一方面，依託國際資本平台的資源整合與賦能能力，進一步優化公司的研發投入的精准度與結構配比，降低研發成本，放大技術優勢與商業價值的協同效應，為公司的長期高質量發展注入強勁動力。總體而言，MiniMax的成功上市，不僅標誌著公司正式邁入資本化發展的新階段，更向全球市場展現了中國AGI企業的技術實力與商業化能力，為全球AI行業的發展注入了新活力。展望未來，伴隨上市進程的落地，MiniMax的資金實力將實現質的躍升，全球戰略佈局也將持續向縱深推進。依託這一發展契機，公司有望進一步夯實全模態技術壁壘，持續放大核心技術競爭優勢，不斷拓寬商業應用的邊界，為全球用戶創造更高價值體驗，同時充分釋放成長潛能，為投資者持續創造長期、穩定的投資回報。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Over time, this type of structure often proves more valuable than frequent interface changes that require constant readjustment.Charting has been one of the more fully formed components of the platform. With multiple chart time frames, layered indicators, and customizable chart layouts, users have an opportunity to evaluate price action without extraneous distractions. The tools continue to remain stable even in times of increased volatility, which is often when stability can become a major issue. While the platform does not aim to replicate institutional-grade software, it offers sufficient analytical depth to support structured technical analysis and routine market monitoring.Execution tools on the Capital Margin Trade broker platform follow a similar logic. Orders can be placed and managed without interrupting the broader workflow, allowing traders to stay focused on market movement rather than interface navigation. Real-time price feeds across supported instruments provide continuous visibility, helping users react as conditions change. Execution speed, as with any platform, remains dependent on market conditions, though overall performance is generally consistent during standard trading hours.Risk management features are integrated directly into the trading process. Users can input a stop-loss and/or take-profit level at the time they enter a trade, or adjust those levels once their trades are active. This provides users with the opportunity to make decisions based upon their own risk assessment without forcing the use of pre-defined automated strategy templates. While some traders may look for deeper automation, others may value the ability to remain closely involved in managing exposure.Beyond execution and charting, the Capital Margin Trade trading platform includes a market overview section that offers context without constant interruptions. Instead of relying on frequent alerts, traders can access summarized information when needed. This quieter approach supports independent analysis and may suit users who prefer to interpret data rather than respond to prompts.Accessibility across devices remains consistent. The Capital Margin Trade broker infrastructure is web-based, allowing traders to access accounts from desktops, laptops, tablets, or smartphones without additional downloads. While mobile trading naturally limits screen space, essential functions such as monitoring positions and placing orders remain available, which can be useful for traders managing positions away from their primary setups.In terms of the way the user interacts with the platform, there are multiple layers of operational complexity. The account settings, margin controls, and view of all open positions are clearly defined and separate from each other, allowing for greater ease of managing exposure to risk without having to navigate through layers of menu options. During active market phases, this clarity can help reduce operational friction. Traders seeking highly customized algorithmic environments may find the setup more manual, though this appears intentional for users who prefer hands-on control.Funding and withdrawal processes follow established industry standards. The platform supports commonly used payment methods and prioritizes reliability over experimentation. While options may seem limited for users seeking alternative payment solutions, transaction procedures remain clear and supported by standard verification processes.Security is treated as a baseline requirement rather than a headline feature. Capital Margin Trade trading platform operations include user verification protocols and encrypted data handling designed to protect account access and transactional information without adding unnecessary complexity to daily use.Overall, the ongoing development of Capital Margin Trade broker services suggests a measured, methodical approach. The emphasis has shifted from seeking rapid expansion and numerous new features every few weeks to maintaining a consistent and reliable trading environment. The steady, long-term nature of this strategy could be attractive to those who have become accustomed to using a platform that they feel comfortable with over time, as opposed to having to adjust to rapidly changing tool behavior and workflow changes at short notice. In addition, for traders who place high value on stability, consistency, and predictability in their trading activities (i.e., those who are able to derive long-term benefits from the familiarity of a consistent trading environment), this long-term approach will likely lead to a more productive long-term trading experience than one based on continuous upgrades.About Capital Margin TradeCapital Margin Trade is an online brokerage firm that provides web-based access to global financial markets, utilizing a web-based trading platform.

(CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has exercised its buyback right to retire the 1% net smelter royalty ("NSR") that applied to its Slovakian portfolio. The 1% NSR covered three mineral properties, including the flagship Trojarová Antimony Gold Project, as well as the Tiennesgrund Antimony Gold Project, and the Medvedi Potok Tin Project. All three projects are now royalty free thus strengthening the strategic value of the portfolio.Scott Eldridge, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "We are very pleased to have completed the buyback of the NSR royalty on our Slovakian assets, including our flagship Trojarova Antimony Gold Project. This strategic acquisition eliminates future royalty obligations and is intended to provide Military Metals greater financial flexibility as we advance these properties. With our initial drill results from Trojarova now in hand and a Mineral Resource Estimate expected to be completed later this quarter, we believe this was an opportune time to consolidate our ownership position. We look forward to continuing our exploration programs and updating shareholders as we work towards defining the full potential of this exciting project."The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary has exercised the NSR buyback pursuant to the terms of a share purchase agreement previously entered into by such subsidiary. Management and the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the completion of the NSR buyback and the resulting termination of the 1% NSR is beneficial to the Company's shareholders and the economics of the Company's applicable projects.
