MAKKAH, SAUDI ARABIA, SA, June 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The General Authority for the Care of the Two Holy Mosques, represented by the King Abdulaziz Complex for the Holy Kaaba Kiswa, presided over the occasion of the replacing of the Kiswa on the first day of the month of Muharram (Hijri). This took place within an integrated operational system that reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's willingness and dedication to serving the Two Holy Mosques-continuing a legacy of over 100 years of care in producing the Kiswa for the Ancient House.Holy KaabaThe Ceremony of Changing the Kiswa of the Holy KaabaThe occasion was conducted with meticulous organisation. As the previous Kiswa was carefully prepared for removal, the new Kiswa was raised and securely fastened to all sides of the Kaaba. Additionally, the door curtain embroidered with golden embellishments, lantern-shaped pieces, the belt, and samadiyah pieces were affixed-a scene embodying high craftsmanship and precision.The King Abdulaziz Complex for the Holy Kaaba Kiswa is the sole specialist entity responsible for the production of the Kiswa. The production stages are carried out within the complex through a precise production process that begins with the purification of water designated for dyeing, followed by automated weaving, printing, embroidery, and assembly. It concludes with quality assurance measures undertaken by 154 skilled Saudi specialists and technicians.During the production of the Kiswa-which weighs up to 1,415 kilograms-high-quality raw materials are utilised, including 825 kilograms of black-dyed natural silk and 410 kilograms of cotton. The Kiswa is embroidered with 120 kilograms of gold thread and 60 kilograms of silver thread. Additionally, it features 54 gold-coated pieces, comprising the belt, Quranic verses, the door curtain, lantern-shaped pieces, and embellishments surrounding the Mizab and corners.The Kiswa is adorned with 68 Quranic verses from 11 surahs, while the door curtain contains 763 words from the Quran. It is secured using 100 precisely positioned ropes, evenly distributed across all four sides of the Noble Kaaba.The Kiswa stands over 14 metres tall and is made up of five main parts-four of which cover each side of the Kaaba, while the fifth forms the door curtain, embroidered with Quranic verses in gold and silver threads, crafted using precise techniques and profound expertise.The occasion of replacing the Kiswa represents a continuation of the legacy established by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since the time of its founder, King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud-may Allah have mercy upon him. It reaffirms the continuation of this blessed legacy under the direct care of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and his Deputy, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz-may Allah preserve them both. This initiative aligns with the national vision that emphasises excellence in the services provided to the visitors of the Sacred House of Allah.Source: https://alharamain.gov.sa/public/?page=home_enAbout the Authority:An independent body overseeing the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque.Contact:(+966) 8254241 - (+966) 0148233610Unified Contact Centre: 1966Contact InformationThe General Authority for the Care of the Two Holy MosquesMakkah(+966) 0148233610SOURCE: The General Authority for the Care of The Two Holy Mosques Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

IBI Announces 23-Fold Surge in Net Profit for FY2025 ACN Newswire

IBI Announces 23-Fold Surge in Net Profit for FY2025

HONG KONG, Jun 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - IBI Group Holdings Limited (“IBI” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; Stock Code: 1547), a company focused on investments in the built environment, today announced its audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 March 2025 (“FY2025” or the “year under review”).FY2025 was marked by a challenging global economic environment, which placed significant pressure on the construction industry and resulted in highly competitive tendering conditions. At the same time, global trade tensions triggered unexpected volatility, prompting capital flows to shift towards Asia. This trend has begun to invigorate the Hong Kong market and may help to alleviate some of the pressure on Mainland China's manufacturing sector. Coupled with a strong rebound in inbound tourism and improving market sentiment, these developments have contributed to a more optimistic local outlook. The Group remains confident in Hong Kong’s economic prospects and, with its rigorous risk management, effective cost control, and strategic focus on emerging opportunities, is well positioned to navigate the evolving landscape and drive sustainable growth.During the year under review, the Group demonstrated remarkable resilience and delivered a solid financial performance. Profit attributable to the owners of the Company surged around 23.0 times to approximately HK$8.4 million (FY2024: approximately HK$0.4 million). This increase was mainly attributable to improvement in the Building Solutions segment, the recognition of the unrealised profit generated from financial assets at fair value, and the recognition of a significant fair value loss on investment property in the previous year. Basic and diluted earnings per share was HK1.0 cent (FY2024: HK0.0 cents). The Board has recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK0.5 cents for FY2025 (FY2024: HK0.5 cents).Mr. Neil Howard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IBI, said, “Despite the challenging global economic environment, the Group delivered a strong performance in FY2025, with profitability rising significantly. Furthermore, towards the end of the period, the Group successfully secured four large projects with a total value exceeding the entire turnover for FY2025. This notable result highlights the effectiveness of our strategic focus, the depth of our resilience, and our ability to adapt quickly to change. Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our business development, respond swiftly to market dynamics, and pursue continuous improvement to drive long-term value creation and deliver sustainable returns to our shareholders.”Business Review1.ContractingIBI provides world-class interior fitting-out and building refurbishment services in Hong Kong and Macau, predominantly acting as the main contractor for clients across many industry sectors. The construction industry remained under pressure for most of the year. Although the Group completed a higher number of projects compared to the previous period, many were smaller in scale, resulting in a decline in turnover. However, through strict cost control and proactive final accounting by the commercial team, the segment delivered a solid set of results despite the challenging environment. During the year under review, the Group recorded profit from contracting of approximately HK$7.4 million (FY2024: approximately HK$15.2 million), completed 12 projects, and was awarded 13 projects.Notably, during the latter part of the period, the Group secured four large projects with a total value exceeding the entire turnover for FY2025. In May 2025, IBI entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding a potential investment in the development of a new central business district covering around 318 hectares in Manila, the Philippines. Leveraging its expertise in construction and project management, the Group will serve as project advisor, overseeing the project and providing professional advice on construction, procurement, and progress. This collaboration supports the Group’s long-term strategy and, if realised, could diversify its income streams and support long-term growth. These projects will lay a strong foundation for FY2026.In Macau, IBI secured its first project since resuming operations. The Group is actively rebuilding relationships with previous clients and aggressively tendering for new projects.2.Building SolutionsThe Group’s subsidiary, Building Solutions Limited (“BSL”), which provides products and services that enhance the performance and well-being of the built environment in order to provide modern, healthy and high-performing spaces for occupants, recorded a significant and continued improvement in its performance. During the year under review, BSL recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$0.6 million (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$0.3 million), with sales revenue increasing by 58.2% year on year. BSL achieved profitability during FY2025, marking a significant milestone for the start-up. With continued research and identification of new products, the Group believes that the division’s reputation for delivering high-quality building products and services will achieve further growth.3.Strategic InvestmentsThe Group’s strategic investment division was established to efficiently allocate capital into new market sectors and expand its presence in the built environment. During the year under review, the strategic investments division of the Group recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$0.9 million (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$3.2 million), which was realised from an unrealised fair value gain on its investment in a large real estate investment trust, a Hong Kong-listed company that owns and manages a diversified and high-quality portfolio. Regarding the assets in Japan, specifically the plots of land in Kutchan, Hokkaido, the Group is continuing to analyse the optimum strategy for the site, and is considering expanding the project, as the analysis indicates that a larger-scale development could provide significant economies of scale and a far greater return on investment. Moving forward, the Group will continue to explore potential investment opportunities and looks forward to announcing further successes in this area.4.Property InvestmentsThe Group’s property investment subsidiary focuses on purchasing physical real estate to generate additional income and expand the Group’s geographical presence. The property investment division of the Group recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$2.5 million for FY2025 (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$8.1 million), maintaining a steady performance and a 100% occupancy rate. During the year under review, the Group engaged a planning architect to survey the West Wing rooftop area and prepare an initial design for additional commercial space. The Group then held a pre-planning meeting with the local government planning office, which gave positive feedback and indicated that it would not object to the construction of an additional floor. This addition would create 2,500sq ft of tenantable space, which is expected to have a positive impact on the property’s valuation.About IBI Group Holdings Limited (stock code: 1547)IBI Group Holdings Limited is a publicly listed holding company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, focused on investments in the Built Environment. The Group’s investments whilst principally centering around the role of contracting, include businesses providing innovative, high quality manufacturing and supply solutions across a diverse range of the built environment. Our mission is to deliver premium products, services and customer experiences with a strong influence of innovation, sustainability and wellness.

IBI公佈2025財年淨利潤大幅增長23倍 在充滿挑戰的環境中實現強勁業績 ACN Newswire

IBI公佈2025財年淨利潤大幅增長23倍 在充滿挑戰的環境中實現強勁業績

香港,2025年6月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - IBI Group Holdings Limited(「IBI」或「公司」及其附屬公司統稱為「集團」;股份代號:1547)為一家專注於建築環境方面投資的公司,今日公佈其截至2025年3月31日止年度(「2025財年」或「回顧年內」)之經審核綜合業績。2025財年,全球經濟環境充滿挑戰,為建造業帶來巨大壓力,投標情況亦變得極為激烈。同時,全球貿易緊張局勢引發市場意想不到的波動,促使資金流向亞洲。這趨勢開始為香港市場注入動力,並有望舒緩中國內地製造業所承受的部分壓力。此外,隨著訪港旅遊強勁反彈及市場氣氛改善,這些發展態勢使本港前景愈發樂觀。集團對香港的經濟前景抱有信心,憑藉嚴謹的風險管理、有效的成本控制及對新機遇的策略性把握,集團將能應對不斷變化的環境,並推動可持續增長。回顧年內,集團展現出非凡韌性,並實現穩健的財務表現。公司擁有人應佔溢利飆升約23.0倍至約8.4百萬港元(2024財年:約0.4百萬港元),增長主要由於Building Solutions分部有所改善、確認按公平值計算的金融資產產生的未變現溢利,以及確認上年度投資物業的重大公平值虧損。每股基本及攤薄盈利為1.0港仙(2024財年:0.0港仙)。董事會建議派發截至2025財年之末期股息每股0.5港仙(2024財年:0.5港仙)。IBI主席兼行政總裁Neil Howard先生表示:「儘管全球經濟環境充滿挑戰,集團於2025財年仍實現強勁表現,盈利能力顯著提升。在回顧年內後期,集團更成功獲得總價值超過2025財年的總營業額的四個大型項目。卓越的表現充分印證我們策略部署的成效、强大的韌性,以及快速應變的能力。展望未來,我們將繼續加強業務發展,靈活應對市場變化,不斷求進,以為股東創造長期價值及可持續的回報。」業務回顧1.承建IBI在香港及澳門提供世界級的室內裝修及樓宇翻新服務,主要為不同行業的客戶擔任總承建商。建築業在回顧年內大部份時間持續受壓,儘管集團完成的項目數量較去年同期有所增加,但其中多個項目規模較小,營業額因而下降。然而,憑藉集團的商務團隊嚴格控制成本及積極進行結算工作,承建分部在充滿挑戰的環境下仍能實現穩健業績。回顧年內,集團錄得來自承建的溢利約7.4百萬港元(2024財年:約15.2百萬港元),完成12個項目,獲授13個新項目。值得留意的是,於回顧年內後期,集團獲得總值超過2025財年整年營業額的四個大型項目。2025年5月,IBI就一項潛在投資訂立諒解備忘錄,以開發一個位於菲律賓馬尼拉市約318公頃的新中央商業區。憑藉在建築及項目管理方面的專業知識,集團將擔任項目顧問,監督項目,並就建設、採購及項目進展提供專業意見。此合作符合集團的長遠策略,倘若項目落實,將拓闊集團的收入來源,並推動其長遠增長。這些項目將為2026財年奠定堅實基礎。在澳門,IBI獲得重新開展業務後的首個項目。集團正與以往的客戶重建關係,並積極參與新項目的投標。2.Building Solutions集團的附屬公司Building Solutions Limited(「BSL」)提供可提升建築環境表現及福祉的產品及服務,以為用者提供現代化、健康及高性能的空間。BSL的業績持續顯著改善,於回顧年內錄得分部溢利約0.6百萬港元(2024財年:分部虧損約0.3百萬港元),銷售收益同比增長58.2%。BSL於2025財年錄得盈利,標誌此初創業務實現重大里程碑,透過持續研究及發掘新產品,集團相信此分部在提供優質建築產品及服務的聲譽將能進一步提升。3.策略投資集團成立策略投資分部旨在將資金有效分配至新的市場領域,並擴大集團於建築環境領域的影響力。回顧年內,集團的策略投資分部錄得分部溢利約為0.9百萬港元(2024財年:分部虧損約3.2百萬港元)。該分部溢利是由於集團於大型房地產投資信託基金的投資出現未實現公平值收益而實現,該香港上市公司擁有及管理多元化及優質的投資組合。就集團的日本資產而言,即位於北海道俱知安町的地塊,集團正持續對該地塊進行分析並制定最佳戰略。分析顯示更大規模的開發可帶來顯著的經濟效益及更高的投資回報,因此集團正考慮擴大此項目。展望未來,集團將繼續發掘潛在的投資機會,並期待於該領域公佈更多佳績。4.投資物業集團的物業投資附屬公司專注於收購實體房地產,以為集團帶來額外收入,並擴大其地域覆蓋範圍。集團的物業投資部於2025財年錄得分部溢利約為2.5百萬港元(2024財年:分部虧損約8.1百萬港元),保持穩健業績並維持百分之百的出租率。回顧年內,集團委聘規劃建築師對西翼屋頂區域進行勘測,並為額外的商業空間進行初步設計。隨後,集團與當地政府規劃辦公室舉行了規劃前會議。規劃辦公室給予了積極反饋,並表示不反對增建一層。此次增建將創造2,500平方英呎的可租用空間,預期將對該物業的估值產生正面影響。關於IBI Group Holdings Limited(股份代號︰1547)IBI Group Holdings Limited 為香港主板上市控股公司,專注於建築環境方面的投資。集團的投資以承建為核心,同時涵蓋多個業務範疇,提供建築環境多個領域的創新、優質製造及供應解決方案。集團的使命是通過創新、可持續發展及健康的理念,提供卓越的產品、服務和客戶體驗。有關IBI的詳情,請瀏覽網站:https://ibighl.com/.

穩定幣條例下的隱形巨頭:百仕達的真實價值

香港,2025年6月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 6月25日,港股國泰君安國際(01788.HK)因獲批虛擬資產交易牌照,股價出現顯著上漲,單日漲幅近200%,成交164億港元位居港股第一。這一火熱市場反應,充分顯示出投資者對香港即將於8月1日正式生效的《穩定幣條例》以及虛擬資產交易的關注和熱情。在此背景下,投資者不斷深挖港股上市公司的相關佈局,而隱藏在市場已經發掘的利好股背後,百仕達控股(01168.HK)或成為下一個市場關注熱點。從地產巨頭到科技先鋒:百仕達的戰略躍遷不同於市場的普遍認知,早在行業混沌期,百仕達便果斷開啟了戰略轉型。2013年,公司作為創始股東投資眾安在線(06060.HK)(持股5.51%),奠定保險科技基因;2017年通過合資企業眾安國際(持股43.50%)全資控股眾安銀行,於2019年斬獲香港首批數字銀行牌照。《穩定幣條例》對發行人提出了嚴格的要求,包括2500萬港元最低資本、100%儲備資產隔離及實時贖回機制等。百仕達旗下的眾安銀行,憑藉其作為持牌數字銀行的技術能力和合規基礎,已為圓幣科技、渣打銀行等機構提供法幣儲備託管服務,並成為香港金融管理局「Ensemble沙盒計劃」的首批參與者。這使其在穩定幣新規生效前,已具備一定的先發基礎設施優勢。金融科技增長極:百仕達佈局眾安生態的價值釋放作為香港八家持牌數字銀行之一,眾安銀行截至2024年末總資產達223億港幣,位居行業首位。眾安銀行擁有超過80萬零售用戶和3,000家企業客戶,其中包括200多家Web3生態企業,顯示出其在數字金融領域的強大市場滲透力。值得一提的是,眾安銀行早在2023年便提出「Banking for Web3」的戰略願景,比《穩定幣條例》出台早兩年有餘。目前眾安銀行已打通虛擬資產交易、法幣兌換與跨境支付閉環,成為亞洲首家提供多元化金融服務的持牌數字銀行。隨著政策落地,眾安銀行的技術儲備和牌照資源將全面激活。政策紅利下的爆發點:穩定幣生態的潛在影響與機遇穩定幣技術被認為有潛力顯著提升跨境支付效率,例如將傳統電匯成本從10-50美元/筆降低至1美元以下,結算時間從天級縮短至分鐘級。這為解決傳統金融體系的高成本和低效率問題提供了新的可能性。國際機構如渣打、京東等已進入金管局沙盒測試相關應用,花旗集團預測2030年全球穩定幣市場規模可能達到1.6-3.7萬億美元。在這一發展趨勢中,百仕達通過眾安銀行等平台,涉足了穩定幣生態的多個關鍵環節,包括合規託管、交易入口以及探索真實世界資產代幣化(RWA)。這種佈局使其角色從傳統地產商,擴展至參與虛擬資產基礎設施建設。其潛在的商業模式可能從依賴「土地溢價」,轉向獲取「合規服務溢價」和「交易流量溢價」。百仕達:穩定幣東風下的雙重價值驅動與重估契機當傳統券商因一張牌照暴漲時,百仕達已編織出一張覆蓋數字銀行、穩定幣基建與RWA代幣化的生態網絡。隨著香港《穩定幣條例》的實施和Web3生態的發展,百仕達憑藉其先期戰略轉型和在合規金融科技領域的佈局,該公司的投資價值已呈現出顯著的多層次特徵。當前,百仕達的市值在很大程度上仍基於其傳統地產業務的估值模型,不僅其持有的可快速變現的顯性資產受到嚴重低估,同時還忽略了其持有的眾安國際股權(價值約43.8億港元)、眾安在線股權(價值約15.6億港元)。另外,百仕達通過眾安銀行在香港金融科技、特別是即將到來的穩定幣市場中所佔據的戰略性地位,其價值也尚未被市場充分認知和定價。這種信息不對稱,恰恰為前瞻性投資者提供了潛在的價值發現機遇。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

港股「香水第一股」穎通控股(06883)今日正式掛牌

香港,2025年6月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 今日(6月26日),港股市場迎來「香水第一股」穎通控股(06883.HK)正式掛牌交易!這家中國頂級香水集團在招股階段已展現強勁吸引力,超額認購達36倍,更傳獲多家基金追捧,市場反應熱烈,反映投資者對其高端香水賽道的長期看好。自1987年將第一瓶香水引入中國內地以來,穎通控股已與國際奢侈品牌建立起長期合作關係 - 與InterParfums合作超過30年運營Coach、Ferragamo等品牌,與EuroItalia攜手15年打理Versace、Moschino等奢侈品牌,與頂級奢華品牌Hermès的合作年期更長達15年。這種深度綁定模式,讓穎通在中國高端香水市場佔據絕對主導地位。再觀其覆蓋廣泛的全渠道銷售網絡。公司已構建起覆蓋400+個城市、擁有8,000+家線下銷售網站的龐大銷售點,同時線上渠道亦表現出色。從百貨到化妝品連鎖店,由電商到免稅和跨境渠道,穎通旗下的品牌無處不在。全渠道的銷售策略背景下,不僅提升了品牌的市場滲透率,亦確保公司產品能夠迅速觸達消費者,滿足其多元化需求。招股書顯示,穎通控股擬將港股IPO募集資金用於收購或投資外部品牌,進一步豐富產品線。公司表示希望能與源頭方一起並購品牌,實現全球市場的共同增長。該類全球化的視野和佈局,為其未來持續增長提供了無限可能。儘管零售市場相對低迷,但穎通仍計劃未來逆市3年新增100家線下門店,其中大部分瞄準二、三線城市,避開一線城市高昂租金,同時填補國際品牌在低線城市的市場空白,同時主抓90後至00後消費群體,因其香水消費需求受經濟波動影響較小,且更傾向於「情緒價值」消費,支撐業績穩健增長。目前,中國人均香水消費金額僅為歐美市場的十分之一,這個差距預示著巨大的增長空間。隨著「悅己經濟」的興起和消費升級趨勢的持續,香水正從奢侈品轉變為日常必需品。過去三年間,公司護膚與彩妝業務展現驚人爆發力,年複合增長率高達56.1%,展現強勁的成長動能;同時維持50%以上的毛利率水準,更承諾不低於50%的派息比率。這種既能保持業務高速擴張,又能持續回饋股東的營運模式,在成長型企業中實屬難得一見,為市場提供了兼具資本增值與穩定收益的絕佳選擇。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

(TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) ("Founders" or the "Company") announces a new high-grade gold discovery at its Antino Gold Project ("Antino" or "Project") in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The Company reports a 22.5 metre (m) interval of 11.88 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) at Maria Geralda, a new exploration target approximately 5 km SE of Lower Antino. The drilling follows up on systematic surface exploration, including prospecting, mapping, and augering programs that identified a 500 m by 400 m gold anomaly at surface.HighlightsFirst-ever drilling at Maria Geralda delivers exceptional results with 22.5 m of 11.88 g/t Au (MG003)Discovery validates systematic exploration approach with auger sampling identifying a 500 m by 400 m gold anomaly at surface where 54% of samples returned assays above 0.1 g/t AuSignificant expansion potential with the discovery zone open along strike and to depth, supporting plans for follow-up drilling in 2025Colin Padget, President & CEO of Founders, commented, "While weather has limited our access to other exploration targets recently, we were pleased to maintain ready access to Maria Geralda and follow up on early surface results. This outstanding start to drilling at Maria Geralda further validates our exploration approach across the 200 km² Antino land package. The 22.5 m interval grading 11.88 g/t Au represents some of the highest-grade mineralization we've encountered to date. These results demonstrate the substantial discovery potential that exists beyond the property's current established zones. Between this discovery, recent expansions at Upper and Lower Antino, and our ongoing 2025 exploration program, we see significant opportunity to build shareholder value."Maria Geralda is located along a major structural corridor on a northwest-trending lineament at the geologic boundary between intrusive rocks and mixed metavolcanic-metasedimentary formations. The discovery hole was designed to test the geochemical anomaly identified through the Company's auger sampling program. Founders plans to follow-up with systematic step-out drilling to define the extent of mineralization along strike and to depth.About Founders Metals Inc.Founders Metals is a Canadian-based exploration company focused on advancing the Antino Gold Project located in Suriname, South America, in the heart of the Guiana Shield.

Samples are crushed to 75% passing 2.35 mm screen, riffle split (700 g) and pulverized to 85% passing 88 µm. Samples were analyzed using a 50 g fire assay (50 g aliquot) with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish. For samples that return assay values over 5.0 grams per tonne (g/t), another cut was taken from the original pulp and fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Founders Metals inserts blanks and certified reference standards in the sample sequence for quality control. External QA-QC checks are performed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Lima, Peru (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. Drill intervals with visible gold are assayed using metallic screening. Rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.Qualified PersonsThe technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo., an independent qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,Per: "Colin Padget"Colin PadgetPresident, Chief Executive Officer, and DirectorContact InformationKatie MacKenzie, Vice President, Corporate DevelopmentTel: 306 537 8903 | katiem@fdrmetals.comCautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking InformationThis press release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation.
