Focus Graphite and C4V Report Breakthrough Early Results Showing 26% Improvement in LFP Cathode Density Using Lac Knife Cathode Ultima ACN Newswire

Focus Graphite and C4V Report Breakthrough Early Results Showing 26% Improvement in LFP Cathode Density Using Lac Knife Cathode Ultima

Lac Knife graphite shows 26% higher cathode density in battery test, opening premium market opportunities beyond anodes, and zero-waste potential.Ottawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 15, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian graphite developer advancing high-grade projects in Quebec, is pleased to announce highly encouraging early results from independent battery cell testing conducted by Charge CCCV LLC ("C4V"), a New York-based leader in lithium-ion battery technology and gigafactory design.Initial results demonstrate that spheroidization rejects from the Lac Knife deposit - typically considered waste - produced a twenty-six percent (26%) increase in cathode electrode density in single-side coated electrodes (2.39 g/cc vs. 1.76 g/cc baseline). A total of four percent (4%) conductive additive was used in the lithium iron phosphate ("LFP") cathode, made up of two percent (2%) carbon black and two percent (2%) Lac Knife Cathode (LKC) Ultima (50:50 ratio). The tests also showed equivalent conductivity and comparable cycling stability up to forty (40) cycles. These findings suggest Lac Knife graphite by-products may represent a high-value conductive additive and significant energy-storage advantages with potential to replace or complement carbon black, the industry standard, while enabling a zero-waste processing model.Higher cathode density allows more active material to be packed into each cell, effectively increasing energy storage without enlarging the battery size. This improvement allows battery manufacturers to achieve higher volumetric energy density, better efficiency, and lower cost per kilowatt-hour, all while maintaining the inherent safety and cycle life of LFP cells like C4V's BMLMP (P Series cells) which currently increase voltage and energy density by fifteen percent (15%) compared to typical LFP cells. With this innovation, Focus is enabling the next generation of high-performance, cost-effective lithium-ion batteries - an advantage that is particularly meaningful for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) supporting renewable energy & EV systems. The ability to achieve greater density without sacrificing conductivity or cycling stability underscores the potential value of Lac Knife graphite as a next-generation conductive additive.This opportunity is further reinforced by the rapid growth in the market for lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathode conductive auxiliary agents. According to a January 2025 report by Markets and Markets, the global market is expected to expand from approximately US$1.80 billion in 2024 to US$4.32 billion by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 19.1%1. With such robust growth forecasts, early evidence that Lac Knife graphite can compete with and potentially outperform conventional carbon black highlights the strategic opportunity for Focus Graphite to participate in a high-value, high-growth specialty market.If validated through larger-scale testing, this breakthrough could enable Focus to fully utilize its concentrate, create high-value by-products, and diversify into cathode markets all while offering ESG advantages through Quebec's renewable hydro energy and a potential clean-energy carbon footprint. The Company plans to advance testing to single pouch cells (150mAh) & multilayer pouch cells (3Ah), explore different blend ratios (e.g. 60/40 or 70/30), and continue joint validation with C4V to assess scalability."These early results validate the potential for Lac Knife graphite to expand beyond anode applications," said Baasit Ali Shaik Sulaiman, VP Supply Chain of C4V. "Often single digit improvements in battery applications are notable. We look forward to advancing this collaboration through larger format batteries as part of our Digital DNA® program and the potential of this product for the North American supply chain.""We continue to showcase the versatility of our Lac Knife deposit," said Dean Hanisch, CEO of Focus Graphite. "A twenty-six percent improvement in cathode density is an encouraging early result in an industry where even small gains matter. Enabled by Lac Knife's unique flake and our use of a thermal fluidized bed oven, these findings suggest that by-products may be transformed into high-value cathode materials with zero-waste potential. While further testing and validation are required, this work indicates possible applications in Battery Energy Storage Systems, one of the fastest-growing segments of the market. This aligns with our strategy to maximize the value of Lac Knife's graphite flakes and advance opportunities to supply premium materials to downstream customers."Figure 1: Cycle Performance Comparison: LKC Ultima Blend vs. C4V Baseline Carbon BlackTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_001full.jpgFigure 2: Normalized Cycling Comparison of LKC Ultima Blend vs. C4V Baseline Carbon BlackTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_002full.jpgFigure 3: Summary of Cathode Performance Metrics, LKC Ultima Blend vs. C4V Baseline Carbon BlackTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_003full.jpgFigure 4: Product Information Bulletin for Lac Knife Cathode (LKC) UltimaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_004full.jpgAbout Charge CCCV (C4V)C4V™ is a lithium-ion battery technology company possessing critical insights related to the optimum performance of lithium-ion batteries and Gigafactory's.

HKTDC releases research report on biomedicine, Industry development drives GBA global tech leadership ACN Newswire

HKTDC releases research report on biomedicine, Industry development drives GBA global tech leadership

HONG KONG, Sep 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong’s healthcare sector surged by nearly 30% in the last decade, with the total number of related businesses now exceeding 3,000. Details of this rapid and sustained growth are among the findings of a new study by HKTDC Research, titled “I&T Cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: Hong Kong Partners with Mainland Cities in Advancing Biomedical Upgrade in the GBA”.This report was produced alongside “Seizing GBA Opportunities: Biomedical Co-operation and Development”, a joint research initiative with the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province.Overall, the research demonstrates that not only is Hong Kong successfully collaborating with key Guangdong GBA cities and Macao in biomedical innovation, but also that this collective endeavour is on course for sustained growth.The successes to date have also been reflected primarily in the overall increase in the sector's value in regional terms.Hong Kong in step with GBA biomedical partnersJust as Hong Kong has developed a sizable pharmaceutical and medical device cluster over recent years – with 3,020 related companies in 2023 as opposed to 2,340 in 2013 – so, too, has Guangdong looked to develop related resources.Acknowledging the benefits of such a partnership, HKTDC Research Director Irina Fan said: “Thanks to extensive government support, technological innovation has been a key driver of Hong Kong’s economic growth, allowing it to effectively align with the national prioritisation of new quality productive forces. Earlier this year, the Guangdong Government announced action plans to grow its biomedical and healthcare industry cluster by around 50% by 2027, increasing its value from RMB 664 billion in 2023 to more than a trillion. Tellingly, a key element of this plan is to boost development by leveraging the existing strengths of the Hong Kong platform.”“Being able to share this expertise with our partner cities in the GBA, with a particular focus on biomedicals, is a huge opportunity for all concerned and one set to deliver immense benefits nationally and even globally.”Hong Kong: Driving biotech innovationAmong the many advantages global biotech businesses might seek to leverage is the comprehensive array of funding opportunities Hong Kong has access to, thanks to its status as a leading international financial centre.As of June 2025, total market capitalisation of the Hong Kong-listed healthcare sector was US$441 billion – accounting for ~8.1% of the total market cap of Hong Kong-listed companies – which is three times the US$144 billion figure recorded at the end of 2017, pre-dating the launch of the HKEX Chapter 18A regime.Since the Chapter 18A listing rules came into effect – which allows biotech firms without recorded revenue or profits to list – 73 biotech companies have listed, collectively raising US$16 billion as of mid-2025.Expanding on the range of benefits Hong Kong can offer to biotech businesses based in partner GBA cities, Wing Chu, HKTDC Deputy Director of Research (Officer-in-Charge), said: “Beyond its financial resources, Hong Kong has several technical capabilities that will make a real difference to GBA businesses, as they look to expand their activities throughout the mainland and into many of the overseas markets. In particular, the city’s advanced clinical trial services, all of which yield internationally accepted data, make Hong Kong the ideal launchpad for any regional healthcare venture looking to go global.”At present, the clinical data derived through Hong Kong-based trials has been approved for use by many of the world’s leading regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration, the EU’s European Medicines Agency and Mainland China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).In addition, many of Hong Kong’s foremost healthcare institutions, including Queen Mary Hospital, Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong Eye Hospital and Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, have secured NMPA accreditation.The GBA: A world-leading biotech innovation hubIn terms of international recognition, the World Intellectual Property Organization designated the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou cluster as the world’s leading innovation hub in its 2025 Global Innovation Index. This, in part at least, was in recognition of the lead role biotechnology plays within this cutting-edge cluster.It is also important to acknowledge the extraordinary growth of Hong Kong’s biotech and health start-up sectors, which have developed far more rapidly than many comparable sectors.Indeed, between 2018 and 2024, the number of Hong Kong-based biotech and healthtech start-ups more than quadrupled from 110 to 510, while the sectors’ share of the city’s total start-up ecosystem rose from 4% to 11%. This included a range of pioneering businesses in sectors, such as drug development, gene editing technology, medical device innovation and precision medical solutions.Outlining how future intra-regional cooperation could benefit all parties, Cherry Yeung, HKTDC Research Senior Economist with oversight of these new reports, said: “Hong Kong is already seamlessly connected with many of the pharmaceutical manufacturers and markets in Mainland China, thanks to its strengths in R&D and international trade. For their part, the GBA cities deliver considerable production as well as resource support, creating a real synergy across the board. With Guangdong committed to further expanding its biomedical sector, this will foster a new generation of cross-industry collaboration.”Photo download: http://bit.ly/4nc0SAcProduction and Trading of Drugs and Medical Supplies (Source: Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong)Between 2018 and 2024, the number of Hong Kong-based biotech and healthtech start-ups more than quadrupled from 110 to 510, while the sectors’ share of the city’s total start-up ecosystem rose from 4% to 11% (Source: InvestHK)Media enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Johnny TsuiTel: (852) 2584 4395Email: johnny.cy.tsui@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

HONG KONG, Sep 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 44th HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and the 13th Salon de TIME, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Limited, and The Federation of Hong Kong Watch Trades & Industries Limited, closed their doors on 6 September after attracting some 16,000 trade buyers from 95 countries and regions. One of the highlights of the two fairs was the 42nd Hong Kong Watch and Clock Design Competition with winning and shortlisted entries on display together with an awards ceremony at the event stage.Over the years, the Hong Kong Watch and Clock Design Competition has consistently worked to raise the quality of watch and clock design in Hong Kong by encouraging innovation and creativity. At the same time, by enhancing its exhibition offerings, it aims to boost sales of Hong Kong-made watches and clocks both domestically and internationally.This year’s competition featured an Open Group and a Student Group, themed “Memorable” and “Believe in Yourself”, respectively. “Memorable” invited participants to express their feelings about unforgettable people by capturing those emotions in their watch designs. In contrast, “Believe in Yourself” encouraged designers to showcase confidence, perseverance, and courage in pursuing dreams and achieving goals through their creations.This year's competition received an enthusiastic response, with 116 entries. The judging panel consisted of eight representatives from the watch and clock industry, along with guest judge, celebrity Bowie Cheung, who selected the winners, first and second runners-up, and merit award winners in both groups.Open Group entries break with tradition, offering playful design elementsThe winner of the Open Group is “FREEZE”, designed by Tam Kwok Tung and sponsored by Wincy Horological Ltd. Tam’s design was inspired by his father who always had half of his face covered by the camera when taking pictures for him. The dial centres on a camera lens creating a layout that breaks from tradition. The right window displays the watch’s movement, while the left window features gears which drive the hands.The first runner-up is “RB_ROBO”, designed by Wong Ting Bong and sponsored by Youngs Watch Company Limited and Po Fai Precision Company Limited. Inspired by toy robots, the design conveys the idea that “adults can still preserve their childlike innocence”.The second runner-up, “Backtrack”, was designed by Oro Time Limited. It incorporates elements such as “game consoles”, “VHS tapes”, and “vinyl records”, allowing the watch to become a playful, Y2K-inspired fashion accessory by swapping out different “game cartridges”.Watch Design by student group reflects on elements of successThe Student Group category is open to full-time students registered at schools in Hong Kong and aims to recognise and promote talented young designers through the competition. The winning piece, “Aspire”, was designed by Chan Tsz Ying, who studies at the Hong Kong Design Institute. In this watch, moving beads symbolise courageous and confident goal-chasing, while still beads signify moments of reflection.The first runner-up is Lee Yuet Tung Eudora from Good Hope School.

在移居的護士中,調查顯示使用經認證的道德招聘者者滿意度高 ACN Newswire

在移居的護士中,調查顯示使用經認證的道德招聘者者滿意度高

費城,賓夕法尼亞州, 2025年9月12日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 一項新的調查顯示,接受外國教育的護士及其他醫療專業人員為赴美工作而移居時,對於獲得「國際道德招聘實踐聯盟」(Alliance for Ethical International Recruitment Practices)認證的招聘公司,持續給予高度評價。該聯盟(現屬於 TruMerit〔前身為 CGFNS International〕的部門),於 2024 年對超過 8,000 名曾使用其 19 家「認證道德招聘者」(Certified Ethical Recruiters, CERs)之一的外國教育醫療專業人員進行了調查。結果顯示,九成受訪者表示他們對招聘者的整體體驗是正面的,其中 55% 表示體驗「非常正面」。正如調查報告所示,儘管美國移民程序中持續存在延遲與成本上升,但自 2023 年以來,高滿意度基本保持穩定。在較早前 TruMerit/CGFNS 對使用非認證招聘者的申請人所進行的調查中,僅有 69% 表示其經驗是正面或非常正面。TruMerit 全球事務長 Rodrigo Gouveia 表示:「隨著美國醫療系統持續依賴受過外國教育的護士及其他醫療專業人員來緩解長期的人力短缺問題,保護那些做出遷徙這一改變人生決定的人至關重要。這一整體的正面體驗比率,正是對聯盟之認證道德招聘者在堅守道德實踐與透明政策方面努力的最佳證明。」該聯盟於近二十年前成立,其背景是出於對部分招聘者使用不公平及欺騙性手段的憂慮,例如向應徵者收取不合理的費用、扣押護照及其他文件,並施壓要求他們在沒有充分閱讀與理解的情況下簽署不公平且複雜的合約。在這些問題上,調查受訪者對其招聘經歷給出了以下回應:• 82% 的受訪者同意(其中 68% 強烈同意),他們的認證道德招聘者(CER)會定期與他們溝通並回應他們的疑慮。• 超過 97% 的人表示,他們在簽署合約前收到了合約副本,並有足夠的時間進行審閱;其中 92% 的人回報,他們未受到簽約壓力。• 95% 的人表示,他們的招聘者並未扣押其護照或其他重要文件。• 91% 的人表示,他們在抵達美國之前已知曉自己的薪資水準,但比例較低的 72% 表示,他們在移居前就已知曉新工作的地點。TruMerit/CGFNS 先前發現,最近移民至美國的護士中有五分之四(79%)曾使用招聘公司,不論是由該公司直接安排至僱主,或是透過人力派遣模式,由招聘公司資助其移民費用,作為交換條件,護士必須承諾為該招聘公司工作,而招聘公司則再將他們分派至其客戶的醫療機構任職。若要被指定為「認證道德招聘者」(Certified Ethical Recruiter),招聘公司必須接受對其政策與做法的嚴格評估,並同意接受聯盟的持續監督,以確保其遵守《醫療保健國際道德招聘與就業守則》(Health Care Code for Ethical International Recruitment and Employment Practices)。該守則明確規範了保障移居美國的醫療專業人員能獲得公平、合乎道德且透明待遇的最佳實務。該聯盟守則與世界衛生組織(WHO)《國際醫療人員招聘全球實踐守則》保持一致。在其近期發布的《世界護理現況報告》 中,WHO 呼籲加強對該守則的遵循,並將合乎道德地管理國際流動與移民,作為強化全球護理人力發展的核心政策優先事項。Gouveia 表示:「本次調查的結果顯示,招聘者認證有潛力推進 WHO 的目標,並可作為移民醫療專業人員來源國與目的地國的典範。」有關聯盟與「認證道德招聘者」計畫的更多資訊,請參見 cgfnsalliance.org。關於 TruMerit TruMerit 是全球領先的醫療人力發展機構。前身為 CGFNS International,該組織擁有近 50 年歷史,致力於協助護理人員與其他醫療工作者——以及負責發照與聘用的機構——在尋求在美國及其他國家執業許可時,驗證其教育背景、專業技能與實務經驗,促進其職涯流動性。作為 TruMerit,該機構的使命已擴展為建立符合全球快速變遷健康需求的人力資源能力。透過旗下的全球健康人力發展研究院(Global Health Workforce Development Institute),TruMerit 正在推動以實證為基礎的研究、思想領導與倡議,支持各項醫療人力發展方案,包括全球認可的執業標準與認證,藉此強化醫療工作者的職涯發展途徑。聯絡資訊David St. Johndstjohn@trumerit.org來源: TruMerit Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES成功開發出可在300度低溫範圍內使用的高性能濾氫鈀合金膜 ACN Newswire

TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES成功開發出可在300度低溫範圍內使用的高性能濾氫鈀合金膜

東京, 2025年9月12日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 以TANAKA的產業用貴金屬展開事業的TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.(總公司:東京都中央區,執行總裁:田中 浩一朗)宣布成功開發出可在300℃左右低溫範圍內使用的濾氫鈀(Pd)合金膜。與以往產品相比,本產品的特色是具有較高的氫過濾性能且使用溫度較為低溫。本產品的樣品將於2025年9月15日以後開始提供。本產品相關研究將在2025年9月17日至19日於北海道大學舉行的公益財團法人日本金屬學會「2025年秋季(第177屆)演講大會」的會議上進行發表。濾氫鈀合金膜(PdCu39)在PdCu系合金膜中,據稱PdCu40(鈀含有率60%,銅含有率40%的合金)的氫氣過濾性能最高。不過,要用PdCu40純化氫,需要在400℃左右的高溫下使用。TANAKA著眼於PdCu系濾氫薄膜的鈀含有率,成功用PdCu39(鈀含有率61%,銅含有率39%的合金)將PdCu系濾氫薄膜的最大性能發揮出來。在此之前,PdCu39的高氫氣過濾能力還未為人所認識。這是因為即使是些微fcc相(※1)摻雜其中,氫氣過濾性能就會顯著下降的關係,所以要將相完全變為bcc相(※2)被認為很難。不過,本公司根據多年的貴金屬材料研發所累積的知識見解,從中確立了藉由使用獨家的熱處理方法,可以獲得完整的bcc相,從而達到了本次的產品化階段。鈀系濾氫薄膜的氫氣滲透機制隨著近年來氫純化相關技術的發展,對於要在比以往更低的溫度下反應的濾氫金屬膜的需求正在不斷增加。要純化高純度的氫,最常見的方法是使用內建濾氫薄膜的模組來純化自甲醇水中生成的氫氣。不過,相對於自甲醇水中生成氫氣時的溫度在300℃左右,由於濾氫薄膜要400℃以上才會發揮性能,因此需要再增加加熱設備就成為增加成本的一個原因。另外,因加熱產生雜質氣體也成為一道課題。由於本產品可以在約300℃的低溫下純化氫,因此不需要再增加加熱設備,且比以往更能抑制設備的氧化。另外,也可望為削減能源成本,像是電力、CO2等作出貢獻。本產品的特色會在300℃左右的低溫下發揮效果由於實現了完整的bcc相,從而具有較高的過濾氫氣性能無針孔缺陷的膜不需要再增加加熱設備,也減少設備在加熱製程中的氧化與其他技術相比,氫純化設備可望進行小型化PdCu合金的Pd/Cu比率和氫氣滲透係數@300℃氫氣滲透係數的溫度依賴性因PdCu39的熱處理條件不同產生的bcc相/fcc相比率差異對應範圍(評估用試作樣品)板厚板寬形狀最薄達10µmT最寬達120mm薄片狀(方、圓等)(※1)fcc相:是指具有面心立方晶格結構(face centered cubic)的金屬相。(※2)bcc相:是指具有體心立方晶格結構(body centered cubic)的金屬相。關於TANAKATANAKA自1885年(明治18年)創業以來,營業範圍以貴金屬為中心,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TANAKA,長年以來除了進行產業用貴金屬產品的製造和販售外,並提供資產用與珠寶用的貴金屬商品。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。2024 年度(2024年12月止)的合併營業額為8,469億日圓,擁有5,591名員工。產業事業全球網站https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com產品諮詢表TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com/tw/inquiries-on-industrial-products/新聞媒體諮詢處TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd.https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com/tw/inquiries-for-media/新聞稿: https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20250912_CT.pdf Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Among Migrating Nurses, Survey Shows High Satisfaction Rates for Those Who Use a Certified Ethical Recruiter ACN Newswire

Among Migrating Nurses, Survey Shows High Satisfaction Rates for Those Who Use a Certified Ethical Recruiter

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a new survey, foreign-educated nurses and other healthcare professionals who migrate to work in the United States continue to give high marks to recruitment firms that are certified by the Alliance for Ethical International Recruitment Practices.TruMerit Ethical International Recruitment ReportHow certification helps safeguard the rights of foreign-educated health professionals.The Alliance, a division of TruMerit (formerly CGFNS International), in 2024 surveyed more than 8,000 foreign-educated health professionals who had used one of its 19 Certified Ethical Recruiters (CERs). Ninety percent of respondents indicated they had an overall positive experience with their recruiter, with 55% reporting it was very positive.As the survey report shows, the high satisfaction rate essentially held steady from 2023 despite persisting delays and increased costs in the U.S. immigration process.In an earlier TruMerit/CGFNS survey of its applicants who used non-certified recruiters, only 69 percent reported a positive or very positive experience."As U.S. healthcare systems continue to look to foreign-educated nurses and other health professionals to help resolve chronic staffing shortages, it is essential that we work to protect those who have made the life-altering decision to migrate. This overall rate of positive experience remains a testament to the work of the Alliance's Certified Ethical Recruiters in their adherence to ethical practices and transparent policies," said Rodrigo Gouveia, TruMerit's Chief Global Affairs Officer.The Alliance was created nearly two decades ago in response to concerns some recruiters were using unfair and deceptive practices such as charging unreasonable fees to the recruits, withholding passports and other documents, and pressuring recruits to sign unfair and complex contracts without giving them an opportunity to read and understand them. On such issues, survey respondents had the following responses about their recruitment experiences:82% agreed (68% strongly) that their CER regularly communicated with them and addressed their concerns.More than 97% said they received a copy of their contract and suitable time to review it before signing, with 92% reporting that they were not pressured to sign.95% said their recruiter did not withhold their passports or any other critical documents.91% said they knew what their pay rate would be prior to arriving in the U.S., but a lower proportion (72%) said they knew the location of their new job in advance of emigrating.TruMerit/CGFNS had previously found that four out of five (79%) nurses who recently immigrated to the U.S. used a recruitment firm, either to place them directly with an employer or, under a staffing model, fund their migration costs in return for their commitment to work for the recruitment firm itself, which then assigns them to work at their client healthcare facilities.To be designated a Certified Ethical Recruiter, firms must undergo a rigorous evaluation of policies and practices and agree to Alliance oversight that they remain in compliance with its Health Care Code for Ethical International Recruitment and Employment Practices, which outlines specific best practices for ensuring fair, ethical, and transparent treatment of health professionals migrating to the U.S.The Alliance Code is aligned with the World Health Organization's Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel. In its recent State of the World's Nursing Report, the WHO called for reinforcing adherence to its Code and for ethically managing international mobility and migration as key policy priorities for strengthening global nursing workforce development."The results of this survey indicate the potential for recruiter certification to advance WHO's goals and in serving as a model for both source and destination countries of migrating health professionals," said Gouveia.More information on the Alliance and the Certified Ethical Recruiter program can be found at cgfnsalliance.org.About TruMeritTruMerit is a worldwide leader in healthcare workforce development. Formerly known as CGFNS International, the organization has a nearly 50-year history supporting the career mobility of nurses and other healthcare workers-and those who license and hire them-by validating their education, skills, and experience as they seek authorization to practice in the United States and other countries.

Doubleview Gold Corp Announces Important High-Grade Copper and Gold Intercepts at Hat Polymetallic Deposit in Northwestern British Columbia

Highlights:2025 season drilling totals 8,506 metres in 12 drill holes and is continuing. Drill hole assay intervals include some of the highest-grade mineralization intercepted to date at the Hat Project.Recent drill holes are extending the mineralization envelope of the Hat deposit and will be incorporated in the next Mineral Resource Estimate.Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 11, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the "Company" or "Doubleview") is pleased to announce important and very significant assay results from its 2025 drilling program at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia. The results from drill holes H090, H091, and H092 include some of the most substantial intervals of high-grade copper and gold mineralization encountered at the Hat Project to date and expand the footprint of mineralization well beyond the area considered in the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate that was reported in a 25/07/2024 news release. Drill holes H090, H091, and H092 provide more details of the East Lisle Zone, and shallow extension of the Main Lisle Zone.Partial Data from 2025 Drill Holes:The recent drilling focused on the core Lisle Zone, where drilling intercepted what is interpreted as a potential porphyry feeder zone. The intercepts demonstrate both shallow and deep mineralization horizons and provide further evidence of the Hat Deposit's robust mineralization profile.Table 1 summarizes important assay intervals from drill holes H090, H091 and H092. [Note that scandium (Sc) values are excluded from copper equivalent estimates but are shown to ensure complete disclosure of relevant data]. Data from subsequent drill holes will be released when assays are received and have been verified. To date (11/09/2025) 12 drill holes have been completed with total 8,506 metres (27,906 feet) and work is continuing.Table 1: Summary of Significant % CuEq Drill Core InterceptsDDH From (m)To (m)Length (m)CuEq (%) Excl.

The intercepts display consistent copper, gold and strong cobalt values, as well as consistent scandium mineralization, further reinforcing the Hat Deposit's potential as a significant resource of strategic metals.Figures 1 and 2 illustrate in plan and sectional views the recent drill holes H090 and H091 along with a conceptual open pit outline. The conceptual pit likely will be adjusted substantially as more data becomes available.Figure 3 illustrates drill hole H092 and pre-existing drill holes. H092 is one of the most important drill holes on the Hat property because it greatly extends the zone of higher-grade mineralization easterly and to depth. Several subsequent drill holes were designed to confirm and explore this area.Figure 1: Drill Plan with the Induced Polarization Plan and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/266027_6cd230d7b4c4ab31_001full.jpgFigure 2: Section on H090 and H091 and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/266027_6cd230d7b4c4ab31_002full.jpgFigure 3: Drill Section on H092, Southeast Lisle Zone and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/266027_6cd230d7b4c4ab31_003full.jpgPresident and CEO, Farshad Shirvani, commented:"We are very pleased to present initial assay data from our 2025 field season. Included in the data are several startlingly important features of high-grade mineralization and expanded dimensions. We look forward to their inclusion in an MRE and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in progress. Meanwhile we await with considerable interest the receipt additional assay data.We are also watching with great interest the steadily rising prices for our principal metals, copper, gold, silver and scandium, as the world markets react to this period of uncertainty, a new era of fractured trade relationships, global warming, inflation, and tariffs and the renewed emphasis on strategic metals. The recently announced possible merger of Teck Corporation with Anglo-American illustrates the active consolidation within the mining industry as established members seek to increase and buffer their positions. We believe that Doubleview will play an important role in Canada's mining industry as we expand our resource and plan for a bright future."Quality Assurance and Quality Control:Hat Project drill cores are processed at Doubleview's camp where they are photographed, measured and logged by our technical staff and then divided using a diamond bladed saw. One half is placed in a stout bag to form the assay sample that is forwarded securely to the independent analytical lab. The remaining half core is stored on site where it is available for further examination and sampling. The assay cores are subject to a Chain of Custody routine as they are shipped from camp to a bonded carrier for delivery to the lab.Core samples are analysed at the North Vancouver facility of ALS Canada Ltd. using their PREP-31, PGM-ICP24, ME-MS61, and ME-ICP06 packages. Each core sample is dried, then crushed to 70% passing a 2mm screen. All material is processed in an automatic Riffle splitter to yield a 250g homogenized, representative sample. This sub-sample is then pulverized to 85% passing a 75-micron screen. All samples are analyzed for Au, Pt, Pd by 50g fire-assay fusion/ICP-ES finish, using PGM-ICP24 package. A separate 0.25g pulp split is analyzed by Four Acid digestion/ICP-MS finish, reporting 48 elements. Over limit elements are analyzed by Ore Grade Four Acid digestion/ICP-ES finish using ME-OG62 assay package. All of Doubleview's core samples are analyzed or assayed at independent ISO 17025 and ISO 9001- certified laboratories.When initial assays are received and accepted by our staff, a certain fraction of the samples will be sent to a second ISO-certified lab for check assay and verification purposes. Assays will be reported in News Releases.Doubleview maintains a website at www.doubleview.ca.Qualified Persons:Erik Ostensoe, P.
