    • Mineit’s Qualified Person, Tomasz Wawruch, FAusIMM, completed the MRE, and has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure related to the MRE contained in this news release. Mr. Wawruch is a senior geology and mineral resource consultant independent of Doubleview. Mr. Gilles Arseneau, PhD., P.Geo., of ARSENEAU Consulting Services Inc., provided an independent review of this MRE.
    • Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
    • The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.
    • Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves.
    • The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014), and CIM MRMR Best Practice Guidelines (2019).
    • The effective date of the MRE is February 4, 2026.
    • Metal contents have been calculated using the following metallurgical recovery factors: Cu = 85%, Au = 89%, Co = 78%, and Ag = 68%.
    • Economic assumptions used include US$4.80/lb Cu, US$20.00/lb Co, US$3,200/oz Au, US$46/oz Ag, and a 2% NSR royalty.
    • Mineral Resources are reported within optimized open pit constraints and 0.2% CuEq cut-off grade, based on a C$7.93/t milled processing cost and C$2.90/t milled general and administrative cost, with a mining cost of C$3.01/t plus incremental mining cost increasing by C$0.015/t for every bench below the reference level of 1,125 mRL.
    • CuEq calculations do not include scandium. The formula used to calculate CuEq is:
      CuEq = [(((Ag × 46.0 × 0.68)/31.1035) + ((Au × 3200 × 0.89)/31.1035) + 0.0001 × (Co × 20.0 × 0.78 × 22.0462) + 0.0001 × (Cu × 4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85))/(4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85)], where all input variables are expressed in (ppm) and CuEq is expressed in percent (%).
    • Rounding may result in minor variations between individual values and totals; such differences are not considered material to the MRE.
    • Mineral Resource classification reflects the level of geological confidence and satisfies the uncertainty criteria appropriate for exploration and resource development. Additional drilling will be required to reduce uncertainty to the level expected for production planning.
    • The MRE reflects the geological interpretation, drill-hole spacing, and estimation parameters available at the time of modelling. Any additional drilling is expected to influence the current outcome by improving confidence in the estimates and refining the geometry of the mineralized domains.
    • The Mineral Resource results are presented in situ within the optimized pit. Mineralized material outside the pit has not been considered as a part of the current MRE tabulation. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes, g/t).
    • A total of 97 diamond drill holes, comprising 49,548 m of core, were incorporated into the Mineral Resource Estimate. All drilling data used in the MRE were subject to standard QA/QC validation prior to inclusion.
    • The block model is defined relative to a model origin at UTM Zone 9N 346,750 E / 6,453,000 N / 0 (NAD 83). Parent blocks measure 15 × 15 × 15 m, totalling 136 × 150 × 75 blocks across extents of 2,040 m (X), 2,250 m (Y), and 1,125 m (Z). All volumes and estimates are constrained by these discretization parameters.

  • Shoucheng Holdings (00697.HK) Sees Long-Term International Capital Rotation as Robotics Portfolio Enters Harvest Phase

    Shoucheng Holdings Ltd. (HKG: 0697) drew market attention on Tuesday after its share price experienced volatility alongside certain shareholding adjustments, prompting discussion among investors. A review of the company’s recent disclosures, publicly available trading data and evolving market structure suggests the movement largely reflects short-term capital repositioning rather than any change in fundamentals.

    Market participants indicated that during the recent market pullback, several international long-only investors executed strategic allocations through block trades and negotiated transactions, facilitating an orderly transition in the company’s shareholder base. Observers said the shift — characterized by a rotation from short-term trading positions to longer-duration institutional capital — could help smooth liquidity fluctuations while enhancing the stability and quality of the shareholder structure.

    From a capital-markets perspective, the entry of long-term funds typically signals recognition of a company’s medium- to long-term growth trajectory and value realization capacity. Such positioning is widely viewed as laying a firmer foundation for future valuation normalization.

    Historically, shareholder base optimization and rebalancing often coincide with the stage at which a company’s strategic transformation begins to translate into tangible results. The latest restructuring underscores a more proactive stance by international capital in participating in Shoucheng’s growth story, endorsing its strategic shift from a traditional asset-management platform to a builder of hard-technology industrial ecosystems. The resonance between capital flows and industrial logic is expected to reinforce market confidence in the company’s long-term value proposition.

    Foreign institutional buying during periods of market weakness reflects confidence in what analysts describe as a structural transformation of Shoucheng’s fundamentals. The company has transitioned from a conventional asset-management model into what it terms an “industrial ecosystem builder.” Through a differentiated “capital + scenario + operations” framework, Shoucheng has established a closed-loop ecosystem, particularly in the robotics sector, where its forward-looking investments have positioned it as a bellwether for hard-technology exposure in Hong Kong equities.

    The year 2026 is widely regarded by the market as a pivotal window for the accelerated commercialization of embodied artificial intelligence and humanoid robotics. Shoucheng’s systematic early-stage positioning across the robotics value chain is now entering a concentrated realization phase, with portfolio returns demonstrating notable strength.

    Core projects have generated substantial premiums. Early and concentrated investments in leading companies such as Zibianliang Technology and Unitree Robotics have delivered significant mark-to-market gains. As high-profile holdings including Unitree advance toward initial public offerings, Shoucheng’s equity stakes are poised to transition from unrealized book gains to realized returns and dividend contributions, providing tangible earnings accretion at the listed-company level.

    Further attention has focused on the high-profile appearance of robotics firms including Unitree Robotics, Galaxy General Robotics and Songyan Dynamics at the 2026 Lunar New Year Gala broadcast by China Central Television, the Year of the Horse edition. Their demonstrations showcased breakthroughs in embodied intelligence, complex motion control and human-machine interaction. The visibility not only strengthened public awareness but also signaled that large-scale commercial deployment may be imminent. As an important early-stage investor in these enterprises, Shoucheng stands to benefit indirectly from both heightened sector visibility and an accelerated commercialization cycle, potentially catalyzing valuation re-rating.

    Analysts said Tuesday’s trading activity is likely to result in a more diversified shareholder mix. The participation of long-duration international capital may enhance the stock’s global liquidity profile and governance transparency expectations, while also broadening the company’s access to cross-border industrial and strategic resources to support future expansion.

    Market experience suggests that when a company’s fundamentals enter an upward cycle and structural uncertainties gradually dissipate, shareholder optimization can serve as a catalyst for valuation recovery. According to analysts, the latest rotation in holdings represents a strategic rebalancing of the capital structure, easing short-term supply pressure as the company approaches a value-realization phase.

    Taken together, Shoucheng appears to be navigating a convergence of three inflection points. First is an industrial inflection, as embodied AI and robotics commercialization accelerate. Second is a capital inflection, with investment projects entering a concentrated realization period. Third is a structural inflection, marked by the entry of long-term international capital and the optimization of the shareholder base.

    Amid the alignment of global capital endorsement and industrial value dividends, the company’s valuation framework is shifting from that of a traditional asset manager toward that of a hard-technology industrial platform. As industrial deployment advances and investment returns crystallize, market recognition of Shoucheng’s role as an infrastructure builder for the intelligent era may deepen, suggesting that the process of long-term value redefinition has entered a substantive phase.

  • TANAKA to Provide Medals for the Tokyo Marathon 2026 That Represent All the Participants in the Event with Woven Lines

    TOKYO, Feb 24, 2026 – (JCN Newswire) – TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd. (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Koichiro Tanaka) will provide and donate gold, silver, and bronze medals to the top three men and women finishers of the marathon and wheelchair marathon events at the Tokyo Marathon 2026. The Tokyo Marathon 2026 is organized by the Tokyo Marathon Foundation and will be held on March 1, 2026.

    Design Representing All the Participants in the Event with Woven Lines

    The medals were designed based on the concept of the Tokyo Marathon: The Day We Unite. On the front of the medal, the logo type is placed horizontally above the event logo pattern, which represents “runners, supporters, and cheerers,” to express the image of the Tokyo Marathon, which is held based on the involvement of many people, including runners, as well as volunteer staff and cheerers.

    On the back of the medal, the name of the event, Tokyo Marathon 2026, is written in Braille, and the words “FINISHER” and the event date are engraved, along with TANAKA’s logo. The medal’s ribbon design continues the 2016 design and is based on the event logo, which resembles a tapestry of lines woven together to represent all the runners, volunteers, and spectators.

    Sustainability Initiatives

    The Tokyo Marathon 2026 is advancing sustainability initiatives centered on “waste reduction,” “environmental conservation,” and “DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion).” In support of this initiative, the medal ribbons are made using recycled polyester. In addition, for the gold medals, the gold plating solution used is from TANAKA’s “RE Series” regenerated precious metals made using only 100% recycled materials. Through these initiatives, TANAKA is helping to make the event more sustainable.

    About the Tokyo Marathon 2026

    The Tokyo Marathon 2026 is the 19th edition of one of the largest public participation marathons in Japan. As it will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2027, the event has evolved further to help all the participants play active roles so that the metropolis of Tokyo unite as one, based on three pillars: “The safest and most secure race in the world,” “The most exciting race in the world,” and “The warmest and most friendly race in the world.” This year, the event has adopted “Run. Tokyo. Own.” as the keyword to express how, on the grand stage of Tokyo, each runner lives their own run and their own story—and how countless individuals coming together create “one Tokyo” for that day and that moment alone.

  • CanSinoBIO’s Menhycia (R) Secures Expanded Age Indication, Unlock Broader Long-Term Growth Potential

    CanSino Biologics Inc. (688185.SH/06185.HK) announced that the Company has obtained the Notification of Approval of Supplemental Drug Application issued by the National Medical Products Administration of China (the NMPA), pursuant to which, the supplemental application to expand the age range of applicable population of the Company’s Group ACYW135 Meningococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine (CRM197) (the MCV4, trade name: Menhycia (R)) from “children aged from 3 months to 3 years old (47 months)” to “children aged from 3 months to 6 years old (83 months)” has been approved by NMPA.

    This approval marks an important step forward, underscoring the public health impact of Menhycia (R) while also strengthening its long-term commercial prospects. Under China’s current national immunization schedule, the final pre-school dose of meningococcal vaccination is administered at six years of age. For a long time, multivalent conjugate vaccine options for children over age three have been relatively limited in the domestic market. The newly approved expansion of the eligible age range helps address this gap, providing broader and more appropriate vaccination options for this population.

    At the same time, the broader eligible population is expected to further unlock Menhycia (R)’s commercialization prospects, and lay a more solid foundation for the product’s promotion and strategic rollout in international markets.

    Notably, CanSinoBIO issued its Results Forecast For The Year 2025 recently. Forecasting total revenue of RMB 1.04–1.08 billion, a year-on-year increase of 22.88% to 27.61% and net profit attributable to the shareholders of RMB 24.5–29.0 million—marking a return to profitability. The company noted that Menhycia (R), China’s first domestically developed quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, continues to drive sustained revenue growth under its innovation-led commercialization strategy. This also signifies that the company is now reaping the commercial benefits of its early investments in vaccine innovation.

    Leveraging its proprietary platform, first-mover advantages, and accelerating global expansion, the age expansion of Menhycia (R) is expected to further strengthen CanSinoBIO’s competitive position while providing new momentum for sustainable growth. As product coverage broadens and international commercialization advances, the company is well-positioned to enter a new phase of long-term growth.

  • GA-ASI Announces YFQ-42A Dark Merlin

    Uncrewed Fighter Jet Takes Inspiration From Nimble Predator

    General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is giving its U.S. Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft a new name: YFQ-42A Dark Merlin.

    Dark merlins, deadly falcons known for their black feathers and devouring of other falcons as prey, often collaborate in groups for maximum effect against their targets. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology describes the merlin as a “small, fierce falcon that uses surprise attacks” to bring down its prey in flight. The dark merlin is native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States, often migrating into southern California, where bird spotters routinely report seeing them near the YFQ-42A’s manufacturing home in San Diego.

    The 1962 book “Profiles of the Future” imagined global technological marvels yet to change the world, offering that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” It’s no coincidence that the Dark Merlin name also reflects the wizardry of Merlin from Arthurian legend, paying homage to the somewhat supernatural new era of semi-autonomous air combat.

    “Dark merlins are hunting machines, built for speed and aerodynamics,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “They harass other falcons for fun, and they eat what they kill. The name sums up our new uncrewed fighter perfectly.”

    The U.S. Air Force official prefix “Y” denotes that the initial few aircraft are early, production-representative test models, while “F” denotes fighter and “Q” denotes uncrewed aircraft. When aircraft enter production, they drop the “Y” – for example, the YF-16 became the F-16 with the nickname “Fighting Falcon” – and GA-ASI expects its new CCA to become the FQ-42A with the nickname “Dark Merlin.”

    The Dark Merlin has been stacking up milestones and achievements since GA-ASI was selected by the U.S. Air Force in April 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. In August 2025, YFQ-42A delivered the U.S. Air Force its first successful CCA flight and followed that this month with the service’s first CCA flight using mission autonomy software. Between those milestones, GA-ASI has built and flown multiple Dark Merlins, conducting push-button autonomous takeoffs and landings and other accomplishments as the test program continues.

    YFQ-42A Dark Merlin is a purpose-built CCA platform developed as part of GA-ASI’s ongoing investment in next-generation autonomous combat aircraft. The aircraft’s modular design enables rapid integration of mission systems. GA-ASI’s autonomy architecture, demonstrated through multiple live flight tests, provides the foundation for human-machine teaming in complex combat scenarios.

    GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded, weaponized MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. Ongoing company investment in Avenger continues to yield results, as the aircraft routinely serves as a CCA surrogate for advanced autonomy development and testing in both government programs and company-funded research and development. The company’s XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station jet, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, offers a cutting-edge model for autonomous collaborative platforms with advanced airborne sensing and served as a flying prototype for YFQ-42A Dark Merlin.

  • GA-ASI and USAF Demonstrate Manned-Unmanned Teaming With F-22 and MQ-20 In Joint Autonomy Exercise

    In collaboration with the U.S. Air Force, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) conducted its latest demonstration performing an autonomous mission out of Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California using its MQ-20 Avenger® unmanned jet and an F-22 Raptor equipped with the latest government reference autonomy software. The test, which showcased Manned-Unmanned Teaming between the F-22 and MQ-20, leveraged autonomy and the tactical data link to enable coordination between the platforms.

    The mission included a live engagement between the MQ-20 and the F-22 as the command aircraft flown by an onboard human pilot, highlighting the ability to receive and execute teaming commands.

    “We appreciate the flawless execution of this mission using the government’s advanced autonomous systems,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “This demo featured the integration of mission elements and the ability of autonomy to utilize onboard sensors to make independent decisions and execute commands from the F-22.”

    The demonstration showcased Manned-Unmanned Teaming and rapid software integration between the MQ-20 and the F-22, and a tactical data link used for communication and coordination between military platforms. The MQ-20 successfully exchanged messages with the F-22, and the F-22 was able to send autonomy commands to the MQ-20 via the Autonodyne Bashi Pilot Vehicle Interface (PVI), directing the MQ-20 to execute tactical maneuvers and adjust waypoints, and perform Combat Air Patrol (CAP) and airborne threat engagement tasks.

    This demonstration highlighted the potential of CCAs to act as force multipliers for manned platforms, enabling collaboration between autonomous systems and human pilots. GA-ASI’s MQ-20 Avenger unmanned jet has served as a surrogate CCA for more than five years, both before and since the arrival of GA-ASI’s purpose-built XQ-67A and YFQ-42A aircraft.

  • GA-ASI Develops Long-Range Weapons Capabilities for MQ-9B

    Industry Leading UAS Expands Mission Roles To Include Naval Strike

    General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is developing the addition of long-range standoff weapons to its top-of-the-line MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian®.

    Demand continues from naval and air warfighters for platforms that can hold targets at risk from great ranges, especially over the expanses of air and water in the Western Pacific. That’s why GA-ASI engineers have begun the work of adapting MQ-9B’s payload, stability, range and other features to accommodate the new generation of extended-range precision weapons.

    “MQ-9B continues to impress in the field and we keep adding to our global customer list,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “We want to continue to build value in the aircraft by expanding into more missions. MQ-9B features extraordinary payload capacity, so it only makes sense to add to our mission sets with the ability to carry long-range weapons.”

    So far, GA-ASI has performed all the performance analytics and is confident in MQ-9B’s ability to carry long-range weapons over long distances, while providing a measure of persistence and endurance. Company engineers and others continue to refine the technical aspects of this integration and potential concepts of operation, eyeing weapons such as the Lockheed Martin Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile andLong-Range Anti-Ship Missile, as well as the Kongsberg/Raytheon Joint Strike Missile.

    GA-ASI plans to fly at least one of these new weapons as early as 2026.

    Hypothetically, a mission profile might look like this: MQ-9Bs could launch from a number of friendly bases in the Western or Southern Pacific, fly to a hold point and loiter there outside a hostile power’s weapons engagement zone. If the order came to release the weapons, the aircraft could launch them in coordination with other U.S. or allied operations.

    In addition to the SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian models, MQ-9B also includes the Protector RG Mk1 that is currently being delivered to the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force (RAF). GA-ASI also has MQ-9B procurement contracts with Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, Japan, Poland, Taiwan and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also been featured in various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern EdgeIntegrated Battle ProblemRIMPAC, and Group Sail.
