  • Casa Minerals Announces 2026 Aggressive Exploration Plans for Congress Gold Mine and Arsenault Projects

    Casa Minerals Announces 2026 Aggressive Exploration Plans for Congress Gold Mine and Arsenault Projects

    Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTCQB: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the “Company” or “Casa“) is pleased to provide a corporate update and announce its plans for an expanded exploration program in 2026 across its mineral properties in Arizona, USA and British Columbia, Canada.

    2026 EXPLORATION STRATEGY

    In response to strengthening global demand for resources and commodities, Casa is advancing aggressive exploration and development plans for its key mineral assets:

    • Congress Gold Mine Project (Arizona, USA) – Advanced exploration and development targeting gold, silver, and copper mineralization
    • Arsenault Gold-Copper Project (British Columbia, Canada) – Copper-gold-silver exploration with advanced geophysical targeting

    The Company’s strategic positioning with projects spanning two jurisdictions provides operational flexibility to maintain active exploration programs throughout the year across multiple properties.

    CONGRESS GOLD MINE PROJECT UPDATE

    The Congress Gold Mine, historically one of Arizona’s largest gold-silver producers, represents an advanced exploration opportunity with substantial historic production data.

    Historic Resource Context:

    Historic operators reported resource estimates and production figures for the Congress Gold Mine. These historic estimates are disclosed solely for context and have not been verified by a current Qualified Person. The historic estimates do not conform to current NI 43-101 standards, are not classified as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and should not be relied upon. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Casa is not treating the historic estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

    Previous operators including Echo Bay Mines reported estimates in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 tons at grades of approximately 0.3 opt (9.33 g/t) gold in certain zones. The mine historically produced approximately 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of gold during intermittent operations through 1992.

    2026 Exploration Objectives:

    Casa’s 2026 program at Congress aims to:

    • Conduct systematic drilling to bring the project and its extended potential mineralization to NI 43-101 compliant resource standards
    • Build upon the Company’s confirmatory drill programs that have validated portions of the historic data
    • Define a clear pathway for rapid resource definition and project advancement
    • Expand exploration in priority target areas identified through compilation of historic data and recent drilling

    The Company’s confirmatory drilling to date, combined with extensive historic data compilation, has established a framework for systematic resource delineation in accordance with modern standards.

    ARSENAULT PROJECT UPDATE

    The Arsenault copper-gold-silver project in northern British Columbia has advanced significantly following the completion of a state-of-the-art 3D Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey in 2025.

    2025 3D IP Survey Results:

    The recently completed 3D ground-based IP survey has generated compelling geophysical signatures that management, with extensive experience in similar geological settings, considers highly prospective. Key highlights include:

    • Significant chargeability anomalies indicating potential sulphide mineralization
    • Three-dimensional geophysical signatures with substantial scale and continuity
    • Strong correlation with previous airborne electromagnetic survey results from 2017
    • Multiple high-priority drill targets identified

    The IP survey covered approximately 12 square kilometers with 60 km of survey lines utilizing high-density data acquisition with state-of-the-art instrumentation.

    2026 Exploration Plans:

    Detailed exploration planning is underway for both properties. The Company anticipates releasing comprehensive technical details and specific program parameters for the Congress and Arsenault projects in follow-up news releases as planning is finalized.

    MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

    “Casa is well-positioned to capitalize on the strengthening commodities market with two highly prospective projects at different stages of advancement,” stated Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO. “At Congress, we have a clear path forward to define resources to modern standards on a historically productive gold system. At Arsenault, our recent geophysical work has identified compelling drill targets with signatures our team has successfully followed to discovery in similar settings. We look forward to an active 2026 field season across both properties.”

    QUALIFIED PERSON

    Mr. Erik Ostensoe, P.Geo., a Director and Chief Geologist of the Company, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release.

    • 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.

  • Executive Agility & DealMaker Launch Strategic Collaboration to Power Digital Capital Raising for IPO Readiness

    Executive Agility & DealMaker Launch Strategic Collaboration to Power Digital Capital Raising for IPO Readiness

    Executive Agility, a boutique consultancy specializing in IPO readiness, governance and multi-stakeholder project management for effective capital markets execution, today announced a strategic collaboration with DealMaker, a leading online capital-raising platform that powers online capital (ie: Regulation A) for emerging companies right through to IPO. The collaboration gives global growth and pre-IPO companies targeting listings on U.S. and Canadian stock exchanges – such as TSX, TSXV, CSE, U.S. national exchanges, SEC-registered offerings, and OTC markets – access to a self-directed, tech-enabled capital-raising channel that complements traditional investment banking and underwriting.

    A Digital, Self-Directed Capital-Raising Path that Complements Investment Banks

    Through this collaboration, Executive Agility will integrate DealMaker’s digital capital-raising infrastructure into its IPO readiness and governance services, enabling issuers to run online Regulation A, Regulation CF, and Regulation D campaigns while also working with investment banks and underwriters on traditional offerings. These exempt offerings can be sequenced before or alongside underwritten IPOs, uplists, or other SEC-registered transactions, allowing issuers to validate investor demand, build investor communities, and strengthen their capital structure ahead of a listing.

    “IPO-bound and dual-listing companies want more control over their capital-raising journey while still leveraging the strengths of investment banks and underwriters,” said Deb Banning, CEO and Founder of Executive Agility. “By combining Executive Agility’s IPO readiness, governance benchmarking, and capital markets execution expertise with DealMaker’s digital capital-raising platform, we provide issuers with a coordinated, complementary set of tools to raise capital, de-risk execution and move faster toward listing on U.S. and Canadian exchanges.”

    “Our mission is to give founders and executives a digital, compliant way to raise capital on their own terms, from early growth through IPO,” said Rebecca Kacaba, co-founder and CEO of DealMaker. “Working alongside Executive Agility’s IPO readiness and governance advisory services – and within a broader ecosystem of global exchanges – we help issuers utilize flexible, compliant offerings in a way that perfectly complements traditional investment banking, rather than competing with it.”

    Executive Agility Facilitates Cross-Border Capital Markets Transactions

    Executive Agility’s IPO and listing readiness services routinely assist issuers pursuing listings, uplistings, or dual / cross-listings on the CSE, NSX and other North American and international exchanges, within integrated U.S.-Canada-Australia capital markets strategies.

    Executive Agility enables issuers to:

    • Engage key capital markets participants to secure growth and pre-IPO funding for upcoming IPOs, RTOs, uplistings, and exchange transitions in the U.S. and Canada.
    • Pursue dual listings, cross-listings, and uplistings on CSE, TSX / TSXV, U.S. exchanges, OTCQX / OTCQB, and NSXA
    • Align governance, disclosure, and execution with SEC, Canadian, and other regulatory standards
    • Coordinate governance benchmarking, disclosure readiness, and execution oversight to satisfy public-market requirements during capital raising

    End-to-End IPO Readiness, Governance and Capital Markets Execution

    Executive Agility operates as the execution and coordination layer between issuers, boards, underwriters, legal counsel, auditors, regulators, and other advisors, ensuring companies are not only technically eligible to list, but genuinely ready to operate as public companies. The firm’s services include IPO and listing readiness assessments, governance benchmarking, disclosure and continuous reporting frameworks, multi-party stakeholder coordination, and leadership deployment to stabilize organizations during change and transactions.

    By adding DealMaker as a preferred digital raising platform within its curated Professional Network, Executive Agility now offers IPO readiness and capital-raising clients:

    • A flexible, tech-driven capital-raising channel (Reg A, Reg CF, Reg D) that can be used pre-IPO, between rounds, and post-listing alongside underwritten offerings.​
    • Faster, more predictable IPO and listing timelines through structured project management, governance remediation, and integrated capital markets execution across U.S., Canadian, and cross-border markets.
    • A coordinated, white-glove approach that reduces transaction and execution risk and improves the quality of filings and investor communications across the IPO and listing lifecycle.

    About Executive Agility

    Executive Agility serves as the strategic quarterback for the IPO and listing process, providing global growth companies with a rapid, coordinated and cost-effective path to market success. The firm specializes in IPO readiness, governance transformation and executive deployment for issuers targeting the TSX, TSXV, CSE, U.S. national exchanges and OTC markets.

    As the essential execution layer between issuers, boards, underwriters, legal counsel and regulators, Executive Agility ensures organizations are not only technically eligible to list but genuinely prepared to operate as sophisticated public companies. By integrating a turnkey professional network with modern digital capital-raising tools, we reduce transaction risk, accelerate timelines and reduce costs. Executive Agility empowers growth-stage companies to navigate the complexities of U.S., Canadian and cross-border capital markets with speed, institutional-grade discipline and confidence.

  • HKTDC welcomes the 2026-27 Budget

    – Supporting businesses to capture 15th Five-Year Plan go global opportunities and embrace I&T advancement

    The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) welcomes the 2026–27 Budget delivered this morning by the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), Paul Chan. The Budget reflects the HKSAR Government’s determination and proactive approach to growing the economy, driving development and improving people’s livelihoods. It focuses on strengthening Hong Kong’s status as an international centre for financial, trade, shipping and I&T, while accelerating new industrialisation and digital transformation.

    The Budget also supports enterprises in integrating into the country’s overall development and seizing opportunities under the 15th Five-Year Plan. This includes continuously improving the business environment, promoting artificial intelligence and green sustainable development, as well as implementing various measures to consolidate Hong Kong’s unique advantages in connecting the Chinese Mainland and the world.

    Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC, said: “The HKTDC welcomes the forward-looking measures in the Budget, including the announcement of the city’s first five-year plan and injecting HK$200 million into the BUD Fund. These initiatives demonstrate the HKSAR Government’s commitment to supporting Hong Kong SMEs and facilitating economic transformation and high-quality development. We will actively align with the Government’s policy direction, implement the national 15th Five-Year Plan, and support Hong Kong in consolidating and enhancing its position as an international financial, shipping and trading centre, while establishing the city as an international hub for I&T and high calibre talents.We will also extend our global business network, further deepen our ties with the ASEAN and Middle Eastern markets and explore more emerging markets. These efforts will further enhance Hong Kong’s pivotal role in the Belt and Road Initiative.”

    Prof Ma added: “As a superconnector and super value-adder, Hong Kong enjoys the unique edge of linking the mainland and global markets.

    The Budget introduced a range of measures to promote Hong Kong’s development as an international I&T hub. The HKTDC will continue to actively support the HKSAR Government by integrating I&T elements into its exhibitions, conferences and events. These platforms will help promote Hong Kong’s I&T strengths and ecosystem advantages to mainland and overseas markets, foster cross-industry and cross-regional collaboration and incorporate IP elements to enhance overall competitiveness and effectively protect innovation outcomes.

  • 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.
