HONG KONG, July 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As Insurance Turns Its Attention to AI Computing, the AI Industry Is Entering a New PhaseOver the past two years, discussions around artificial intelligence have largely focused on foundation models, AI computing power and commercial applications. Companies capable of developing more advanced large language models, deploying larger AI computing clusters and achieving early industry implementation have often become the focus of market attention.However, a cross-industry partnership between a technology company and an insurance institution has brought a topic that was rarely discussed in the past into the spotlight: AI computing security. As AI gradually moves toward industrialization, AI computing centers and other forms of infrastructure are becoming increasingly important. How to ensure their secure and stable operation is emerging as a new focus across the industry.Recently, Beijing Shenzhou Guangda Technology Co., Ltd. (SINO EVERBRILLIANT) and the Beijing Branch of PICC Property and Casualty Company Limited (PICC P&C Beijing Branch) held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony at the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area. Under the cooperation plan, the two parties will collaborate on AI computing security, technology insurance innovation and the development of risk management systems. They will also jointly explore new models such as “product + insurance” and “insurance + service,” providing a full-process protection framework covering construction, operation and continuous services for new digital infrastructure such as AI computing centers and Token Factories.While this appears to be a business cooperation, it also reflects a new shift in the development of the AI industry. As AI moves toward industrialization, the focus of enterprises is shifting from “how to obtain computing power” to “how to protect computing power.” AI computing security is gradually becoming an important part of industrial development. Why has Shenzhou Guangda taken the lead in this area?A Cross-Industry Partnership Strengthens a Key Link in AI IndustrializationThe cooperation between an insurance institution and an AI company has attracted attention not only because of its cross-industry nature, but also because it reflects a new change in the development of the AI industry. As AI moves toward large-scale application, enterprise attention is extending from models and computing power to system operation, risk management and continuous protection capabilities.In the past, enterprise AI deployment focused more on models, computing power and applications. Today, as more AI systems take on core functions in production, operations and management, enterprises are increasingly concerned about whether systems can operate stably, how AI computing assets can be protected and how business continuity can be established. AI is becoming a new form of enterprise infrastructure, and the corresponding protection system is becoming an inevitable requirement for industrial development.Against this backdrop, the cooperation between Shenzhou Guangda and PICC P&C Beijing Branch is particularly representative. The two parties will focus on application scenarios such as AI computing centers and Token Factories, exploring protection solutions for risks related to AI computing hardware, operational incidents, cybersecurity and computing interruptions, with the aim of further strengthening risk management capabilities for AI infrastructure.In fact, Shenzhou Guangda’s long-term focus has not been limited to AI models themselves, but has centered on continuously enhancing the foundational capabilities required for AI industrialization. From intelligent computing infrastructure and the Shenxing Service Cloud platform to industry AI Agents, Token Factories and its nationwide delivery service network, the company has continued to improve its full-lifecycle AI service system, helping enterprises move from deployment to continuous operation. The introduction of technology insurance further strengthens a key link in risk protection.Expanding Service Boundaries, Shenzhou Guangda Deepens Its AI Infrastructure EcosystemFor Shenzhou Guangda, this cooperation is more like a natural extension of its long-term development path.In recent years, the company has continued to build its capability system around intelligent infrastructure while extending across the upstream and downstream of the industry chain. From intelligent computing infrastructure and the Shenxing Service Cloud platform to industry AI Agents, large language model applications and its nationwide delivery service network, Shenzhou Guangda has consistently focused on the core needs of enterprise AI implementation. The company helps customers address not only AI deployment, but also long-term stable operation.Introducing technology insurance capabilities into the AI infrastructure service system is not simply an expansion of business boundaries. Rather, it complements the company’s existing technology services by adding risk protection capabilities, enabling full-lifecycle services covering construction, operation, maintenance and risk management.Looking across the AI industry, as applications continue to deepen, the focus of competition among enterprises is gradually shifting from single technological capabilities to platform capabilities, service capabilities and ecosystem collaboration. For Shenzhou Guangda, this cooperation not only enriches its industrial service system, but also reflects its development path of continuously expanding the capability boundaries of AI infrastructure. As AI enters the stage of large-scale application, the market’s criteria for assessing the value of AI companies are shifting from single-point technological capabilities to system-level service capabilities. This may be one of the key reasons why Shenzhou Guangda deserves continued attention. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com

HIGHLIGHTSFirst regional test along the Lac 50 Deposit Corridor, as part of the recently commenced 2026 Angilak Exploration Program, results in major new discovery at Lac 50 Northwest, located ~4 km along strike from the Lac 50 Deposit area (Figure 1);The second hole at Lac 50 Northwest Discovery, L50W-DD-002, intersected 11.5 m of total composite uranium mineralization2 over five zones from 305.0 m to 479.9 m (Figure 2 & Table 1). The hole intersected 7.0 m of continuous mineralization (from 415.6 m to 422.6 m) averaging 7,974 counts per second (CPS1) including 1.6 m of high-grade mineralization2 with maximum radioactivity of 40,162 CPS1;Mineralization is basement-style, hosted within brecciated basalts, infilled with quartz-carbonite veining, displaying albite-hematite alteration halos and silicification overprinting. The mineralization demonstrates similar grade, width and style to Athabasca basement-style deposits;Drilling at Lac 50 Northwest Discovery was designed to test a 3D MMT inversion anomaly with a coincident broad gravity offset. Results from L50W-DD-002 confirm the entire 4 km strike length between Lac 50 Northwest Discovery and the Lac 50 Deposit area as being prospective;The Lac 50 Northwest Discovery represents the sixth regional discovery - outside of the Lac 50 Deposit area - over the last 15 months at Angilak. The Company has a 100% success rate with targeting based on 3D EM inversion at its 100%-owned Angilak Uranium Project;The Lac 50 Northwest Discovery is part of ATHA's on-going 2026 Angilak Exploration Program, the Company anticipates announcing additional preliminary results from drilling at the Mineralized RIB Corridor imminently.Troy Boisjoli, CEO commented: "Over the last two decades I have had the privilege of exploring the top uranium districts globally - including Cameco's Rabbit Lake trend and NexGen's world class Rook I Project. It is with that experience, when I look at the exploration results from Angilak over the last two years - successfully intersecting uranium mineralization on 100% of our regional exploration targets, now with six discoveries in just fifteen months of work - Angilak is something truly unique, representing something completely new in the uranium exploration space. Today's results from the Lac 50 Northwest Discovery, intersecting high-grade uranium mineralization 4 km along strike from the Lac 50 Deposit area and the nearest drilling, demonstrates the unrealized potential of Angilak, as well as the Company's ability to execute.ATHA's success is ever more impactful when considering projections for increases in global energy demand, and prominence of nuclear energy in plans to meet those needs. Compounding those demands with issues of stability of commodity supplies from stable jurisdictions, and ATHA's Angilak Uranium Project has a very bright future."Cliff Revering, VP Exploration added: "The discovery of a new high-grade mineralized zone more than 4 km from the Lac 50 Deposit, along the extended Lac 50 Northwest Corridor and in only the second hole drilled in this area, marks an exciting step forward for the Angilak Project. These results reinforce the strength of our targeting strategy and highlight the significant exploration upside within the Angikuni Basin.Building on the success of our 2025 exploration program, we are highly encouraged by the continued discovery momentum at Angilak. Early results from the 2026 program further support our view that Angilak has the scale, continuity and exploration potential to emerge as a significant uranium district."Vancouver, BC, July 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ATHA Energy Corp. (TSXV:SASK)(FRA:X5U)(OTCQX:SASKF) ("ATHA" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce diamond drilling results from the 2026 Angilak Exploration Program at its 100%-owned Angilak Uranium Project in Nunavut, Canada. Today's release details preliminary results from the first two drill holes targeting Lac 50 Northwest. The second hole, L50W-DD-002, resulted in the discovery of high-grade uranium mineralization 4 km along strike from the Lac 50 Deposit area. L50W-DD-002, intersected 11.5 m of total composite uranium mineralization2 over five zones from 305.0 m to 479.9 m, with 7.0 m of continuous mineralization (from 415.6 m to 422.6 m) averaging 7,974 counts per second (CPS1) including 1.6 m of high-grade mineralization2 with maximum radioactivity of 40,162 CPS1 (Figure 2 & Table 1). Mineralization is basement-style, hosted within brecciated basalts, infilled with quartz-carbonite veining, displaying albite-hematite alteration halos and silicification overprinting. The mineralization demonstrates similar grade, width and style to Athabasca basement-style deposits. Drilling at the Lac 50 Northwest Discovery was designed to test a 3D MMT inversion anomaly with a coincident broad gravity offset. Results from L50W-DD-002 confirm the entire 4 km strike length between the Lac 50 Northwest Discovery and the Lac 50 Deposit area as being prospective to host uranium mineralization.The 2026 Angilak Exploration Program is largest to date on the project, comprising two components: First, diamond drilling, which commenced operations on May 1st, 2026, scheduled to continue through the end of September. The Company will complete ~20,000 m, utilizing three diamond drill rigs. Second, aerial geophysics, comprising Expert's MMT survey, scheduled to start early July, with resulting 3D Inversion Modeling to be completed by Q4 2026.With diamond drilling the Company intends to test the following areas:Mineralized RIB Corridor: Additional discovery potential and expansion, following up on the highly successful 2025 program, which resulted in the four discoveries of uranium mineralization - including RIB North, where the maiden hole intersected 34.7 m of composite uranium mineralization1 with grades up to 8.16% U3O8 over 0.5 m;Lac 50 Deposit Corridor: Testing recently identified, highly prospective, 3D Inversion targets along strike from the main Lac 50 Deposit area, and expansion of the Lac 50 Deposit mineralization footprint which remains open and unconstrained3.KU-Nine Iron Corridor: Testing recently identified, highly prospective, 3D Inversion targets, which directly vector from uranium mineralization intersected in the 2025 KU and historic Nine Iron Discoveries.While the geophysics portion of the program is designed to provide additional targets to the Company's portfolio, and consists of:Angikuni Basin: Acquiring full MMT coverage across the 100% ATHA-owned Angikuni Basin. The resulting survey data will be used to develop a 3D Inversion model of the entire Angikuni Basin, the same highly successful systematic approach ATHA utilized during its 2025 campaign, adding to ATHA's already extensive portfolio of regional targets.Figure 1: Angilak Project Area - 2026 Exploration Target Area (Black Rectangles), & Mapped Historic Mineralized ShowingsTable 1: 2026 Angilak Exploration Program Drill Collar InformationHole IDCorridorZoneAzimuth (°)Dip (°)Easting (mE)Northing (mN)Elevation (m)Final Depth (m)L50W-DD-001Lac 50Northwest30-605118726941721192528L50W-DD-002Lac 50Northwest30-555119856941721188.5632Figure 2: Striplog L50W-DD-002 showing radioactivity based on 40TGU-1000 Triple Gamma Down Hole Probe1 & 2.Figure 3: Striplog L50W-DD-001 showing radioactivity based on 40TGU-1000 Triple Gamma Down Hole Probe1 & 2.Down Hole Gamma Probe1 A Mount Sopris 40TGU-1000 Triple Gamma Geiger down hole probe was utilized for radiometric surveying.2 The Company considers high-grade mineralization to be any interval with radioactivity derived from downhole gamma probe >10,000 CPS.

BRISBANE, AUS, July 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved AU$1.2 million in capital expenditure for the next stage of detailed design, engineering and long-lead procurement for its next-generation graphene manufacturing plant. The plant will modularise GMG's recently commissioned Gen 2.0 Plant and support the development of a "Factory for Graphene Factories."These capital funds will support feasibility level design, engineering and long-lead procurement for GMG's "Fulcrum" Facility. Figure 1 shows an informational image of the planned facility, which will be located in GMG's newly leased warehouse in Richlands, near the existing GMG "Boundary" Facility (HQ).Figure 1.0 GMG Fulcrum Gen 2.1 Technology (Image for Informational Purposes Only)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/304387_8cf54a0304a8cb85_001full.jpgThe GMG Fulcrum Facility will include an area for assembling Graphene Modular Production Units (MPU's) and a separate operating area for up to 5 separate Graphene MPU's, "Technology Gen 2.1 Plant", each with an estimated capacity of up to 20 tonnes per annum.Once fully completed and optimised, the Fulcrum Facility is expected to have annual production capacity of up to 100 tonnes of graphene. It is also expected to be largely self-powered through standalone energy generation using renewable sources, an energy storage system and hydrogen-enriched natural gas supplied by tail gas power generation. The facility is also expected to assemble and commission up to 12 additional MPU's per annum, equivalent to a further 240 tonnes of annual graphene production capacity.The GMG Fulcrum Facility is expected to take several years to complete, with funding and operational readiness to be phased and subject to separate Board approvals and press releases. GMG is also optimising the Gen 2.0 Plant for graphene quality, production rate, graphene packing, and self-power generation, with these elements not expected to be completed until the end of 2026.In the meantime, GMG is progressing site selection and local, state and federal government approvals studies of locating a graphene production facility in both USA and Canada. The expectation is for the Graphene MPU's to be assembled and commissioned in the Fulcrum Facility and then relocated to the site in North America for operations and graphene production along with any liquid graphene production and packing facility."Advancing to the engineering and long-lead procurement phase for our Fulcrum Facility is a pivotal step in GMG's scale-up strategy," said Craig Nicol, Managing Director and CEO of GMG. "With our Gen 2.0 Plant now commissioned, we are applying those learnings to design a modular, repeatable production system that can be deployed globally. The Fulcrum Facility is intended to become the hub for assembling and commissioning Graphene MPUs, enabling us to accelerate capacity growth while maintaining quality and cost discipline. At the same time, we are progressing optimisation of our existing operations and preparing for expansion into North America, positioning GMG to meet increasing demand across our energy savings and energy storage product lines.""The Board's approval of this capital reflects confidence in GMG's modular manufacturing approach and long-term growth pathway," said Jack Perkowski, Chairman and Director of GMG. "The Fulcrum Facility is designed not only to expand production capacity, but also to demonstrate a scalable model for deploying graphene manufacturing internationally. By combining modular production, efficient capital deployment, and increasingly self-powered energy systems, GMG is building a platform that can support disciplined expansion into key global markets. We believe this approach strengthens our ability to deliver sustainable growth and long-term value for shareholders."About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries"). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed at improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries.GMG's 4 critical business objectives are:Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processesBuild Revenue from Energy Savings ProductsDevelop Next-Generation BatteryDevelop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution CapabilityFor further information please contact:Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com, +61 415 445 223Leo Karabelas at Focus Communications Investor Relations, leo@fcir.ca, +1 647 689 6041Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, July 7, 2026 - ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of three new drill holes recently completed at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The three holes are from separate areas of exploration focus within the ongoing 140,000 metre step-out drill program. The results include the highest drill assay ever achieved in the Project's history: 1,603.95 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 1 metre within a mineralized interval of 316.31 g/t Au over 5.1 metres (core lengths). This record-setting intercept is in hole OB-26-385W4, which was targeting the deep extension of vein mineralization hosted within Piché Group rocks beneath the former mine workings ("O'Brien Mine East"). The intercept, characterized by extensive visible gold (Figure 1), was observed in Pontiac Formation rocks at 823 metres downhole, before the target area was reached. It represents, potentially, a new zone of very high-grade mineralization, outside the scope of the main mineral resources and previously unrecognized. Highlights of the three holes released today (Figure 2 and Table 1) include:O'Brien Mine East: OB-26-385W4 intersected 316.31 g/t Au over 5.1 metres (core length) including 1,603.95 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and 3.97 g/t Au over 5.0 metres including 10.47 g/t Au over 1.3 metres.Trend #1: OB-26-384W1 intersected 46.22 g/t Au over 3.9 metres including 132.28 g/t Au over 1.3 metres and 2.72 g/t Au over 17.5 metres including 10.81 g/t Au over 2.0 metres and 2.39 g/t Au over 29.0 metres including 6.08 g/t Au over 2.5 metres.Trend #1-Trend #2 Gap: OB-26-386W3 intersected 8.60 g/t Au over 2.6 metres including 13.87 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and 2.74 g/t Au over 11.4 metres including 14.64 g/t Au over 1.1 metres.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "We are taking the unusual step of releasing three holes from our ongoing step-out drill program at O'Brien because of the significant nature of the results received. The former O'Brien Gold Mine had a reputation for extremely high-grade gold mineralization. Recall that in December 2024 we released a drill intercept of 1,345 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (within 643 g/t Au over 2.0 metres) interpreted as the extension of the famous O'Brien "Jewellery Box" mining stope (see Radisson news release dated December 9, 2024). Now, this result has been exceeded with 1,604 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (within 316 g/t Au over 5.1 metres) from a new mineralized zone hosted within Pontiac meta-sedimentary rocks, the formation that forms the hanging wall of the Piché rocks that host both the bulk of the Project's gold mineralization and the former mine workings. Importantly, it occurs within a cluster of previously published gold intercepts, offering the potential for a new, very high-grade zone of mineralization outside of the scope of the Project's current mineral resources. Also in this news release, drill hole OB-26-384W1 has returned multiple intercepts of high-grade mineralization in classic quartz vein/alteration packages at the Project's Trend #1, filling in the deep extension of this important target area between 1,600 and 1,700 metres depth. Together, the results published today reinforce three key exploration themes at O'Brien: the potential for new high-grade mineralization in Pontiac rocks; continued extension of O'Brien gold mineralization and mineral resources at depth, and; additional mineralization within previously under-drilled gaps. Drilling continues with eight rigs active." Radisson will be hosting a technical webinar on Tuesday July 14th at 10.00am EST hosted by Matt Manson, President & CEO, David Ross, VP Exploration, and Hubert Parent-Bouchard, CFO to provide further details on the ongoing exploration program at the O'Brien Gold Project.

Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness and are associated with broader, mineralized alteration envelopes. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths.The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well-developed vein mineralization below and to the east of the historic mine. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focussed on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.Figure 2: Longitudinal Vertical Section and Plan View of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Today's Drill Holes IllustratedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/304195_41737f3324b60a0d_002full.jpgStep-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the extent of gold mineralization at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency and minimize costs. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing eight drill rigs (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025).Table 1: Assay Results from Select Drill HolesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/304195_rds-table1.jpgNotes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:The O'Brien Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate effective January 31, 2026 utilizes a 2.20 g/t Au bottom cut-off, a US$2,500 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 60 g/t Au upper cap on individual assays. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off. Sample grades are uncapped. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of core length. Table 3 presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed. Lithology Codes: PON-S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate and Greywackes; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault ZoneThe origin of the step-out drill program was the deep pilot hole OB-24-337, which was the first exploration drill hole located below the former mine workings since mining ended in 1957. This hole intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated December 16, 2024). Fifteen wedge branches were completed from OB-24-337 delineating up to eight gold-bearing veins over a 250-metre by 700-metre area in what is referred to as "O'Brien Mine East" (Figure 2; see Radisson news release dated February 12, 2026). In March 2026, Radisson published an interim update in the Project's mineral resources, showing meaningful growth based on the on-going drilling (see Radisson news release dated March 2, 2026).The focus of the step-out drill program has been the extension of mineralization at depth, with an exploration floor of 2 kilometres depth, and recently announced plans to extend this drilling to 2.5 kilometres depth (see Radisson news release dated May 28, 2026). Given the character of neighbouring gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project, Radisson believes that significant exploration potential exists to these depths, and such mineralization might reasonably be expected to be developed.In today's results, drill hole OB-26-385W4 was the fourth wedge from the pilot hole targeting the O'Brien Mine East area between the base of the former mine and the OB-24-337 wedge cluster (Figure 2 and Table 1). The record intercept of 1,603.95 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (within 316.31 g/t Au over 5.1 metres) was returned from a mineralized zone within Pontiac Formation rocks starting at 823 metres downhole. The extremely high-grade nature of the intercept is potentially due to the intersection of a localised fold that produces the dramatic core-parallel gold mineralization illustrated in Figure 1.Figure 3: Vertical Section Through "O'Brien Mine East" with Today's New Drill ResultsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/304195_41737f3324b60a0d_004full.jpgThe Pontiac Formation is known to host significant gold deposits elsewhere within Québec's Abitibi region. While the bulk of the Project's Mineral Resources are hosted within Piché Group rocks, gold mineralization and mineral resources have been defined previously in both the Pontiac and Cadillac metasedimentary rocks in the hanging wall and footwall respectively of the Piché and the LLCB. The new intercept is not isolated but appears spatially related to a cluster of previously reported gold intercepts, including from OB-24-337W13 which returned 90.60 g/t Au over 1 metre (within 30.59 g/t Au over 3.0 metres) as close as 45 metres down dip from the new intercept (Figure 3). The intercepts warrant follow-up as they indicate the potential for a new, very high-grade mineralized zone within the Pontiac, approximately 180 metres from the Pontiac-Piché contact at approximately 700 metres vertical depth, and outside the scope of the current mineral resources.Also in today's results, drill hole OB-26-384W1 is the first wedge completed on the deep pilot hole OB-26-384 testing the deep extension of the Project's Trend #1 (Figure 2). This hole returned at least three significant zones of classic O'Brien quartz-sulphide-gold veins within alteration envelopes (Figure 2 and Table 1) between 1,600 and 1,700 metres depth. Within the LLCB itself, the hole returned 46.22 g/t Au over 3.9 metres including 132.28 g/t Au over 1.3 metres with significant visible gold (Figure 1). Recall that pilot hole OB-26-384 was the deepest hole ever drilled at the Project and returned multiple zones of mineralization at 1,900 metres depth (see Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026), such as 4.54 g/t Au over 12.0 metres including 16.85 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and including 12.87 g/t Au over 1.0 metre. These two holes taken together are confirming the deep extension of the O'Brien mineralizing system several hundred metres below the base of the current Mineral Resources at Trend #1, with significant implications for the Project.In addition to the progressively deeper drilling, the 140,000-metre program includes targeting of areas within the O'Brien geological model that have not previously been tested and offer the potential for additional mineral resources at shallower depths. This includes the "gaps" created between mineralized trends that are typically defined by a lack of drilling rather than a lack of mineralization. Recent drill results have indicated significant mineralization within the important "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap" (see Radisson news release dated June 1, 2026 and June 22, 2026). Today's release includes another example of strong mineralization in this area, with OB-26-386W3 exhibiting at least two characteristic zones of quartz-sulphide-gold veins within alteration envelopes (Figure 2 and Table 1). Currently, the large "Trend 0 Gap" is being tested with a new deep pilot hole set up to approach from the north due to access considerations. If successful, this pilot hole will be used to give wide coverage of this previously undrilled area with multiple wedge branches and directional drilling.Taken together, these latest three drill holes at the Project continue to demonstrate the very high incidence of intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources ("hits", per Table 2). This now stands at 81% of all drill holes completed to date, an impressive result for a step-out drill program specifically targeting non-resource areas (Figure 4). Mineralization remains open in every direction, with clear opportunities to expand the quantity of new mineral resources, in particular by drilling at depth.Figure 4: Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company Since March 2026To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/304195_41737f3324b60a0d_005full.jpgTable 2: Drill Results Published for the O'Brien Gold Project Since December 2024Date of PublicationTotal Number ofDrill HolesDrill Holes withIntercepts >+3g/tSuccessRate (%)July 7, 202633100%June 22, 2026-O'Brien55100%June 22, 2026-Thompson-Cadillac2150%June 1, 20267686%April 30, 2026-O'Brien77100%April 30, 2026-Thompson-Cadillac9222%January 27, 202677100%January 6, 20266583%October 28, 2025151387%September 8, 2025151387%July 16, 2025141179%April 2, 202533100%February 26, 2025201575%December 16, 202411100%Total1149281% Table 3: Detailed Assay Results (see "Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts")To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/304195_41737f3324b60a0d_006full.jpgTable 4: Drill Hole Collar Information for Holes contained in this News ReleaseTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/304195_rds-table4.jpgNotes:Hole lengths for wedges represent meterage from point of wedge.QA/QCAll drill core in this campaign is NQ in size.

The entire sample is dried and crushed (70% passing a 2-millimetre sieve) and split to 500 g. Gold analysis is performed on an approximately 500 g aliquot (a single jar) using Chrysos PhotonAssay technology. Mineralized zones containing visible gold, plus additional intervals selected at the discretion of the logging geologist, are analyzed to extinction, whereby the entire sample is split into multiple ~500 g jars, each jar is analyzed by PhotonAssay, and the weighted average of the results is used for reporting. A one-metre sample typically requires five jars.Certified reference materials (CRMs), blank samples, and reject duplicates are inserted for quality assurance and quality control. Either a CRM, a blank, or a duplicate is inserted during regular sampling at a rate of 1 per 25 samples, with the insertion rate increased for intervals selected for assay to extinction. Four different CRMs are in use with an appropriate range of certified grades suited for O'Brien mineralization. Jars of CRM material are stored at the laboratory and inserted into the sample stream as directed by Radisson. The CRMs were selected by Radisson in accordance with Chrysos Corporation's best-practice guidelines for PhotonAssay. Blanks consist of commercially obtained crushed quartzite known to be barren of gold. Samples returning results greater than 1 g/t Au are also fire assayed.MSALABS operates under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, utilizing industry-standard QA/QC frameworks for gold analysis. Through the integration of blanks, duplicates, and CRMs into its workflow, the laboratory adheres to established benchmarks that ensure precise, reliable, and verifiable results.QP DisclosureDisclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Richard Nieminen, P.Geo, (QC), a geological consultant for Radisson and a Qualified Person for purposes of NI 43-101.

charging further enhances convenience, enabling the suitcase to function as a portable power source throughout the journey.The SE3MiniT demonstrates that a modern Luxury Suitcase is no longer defined solely by premium materials.Today, true luxury also means intelligent simplicity.Airwheel SQ3 & SQ3S Kids smart suitcase:Bringing AI Mobility to Family TravelFamily travel presents a completely different set of challenges.Children become tired after long walks through airports.Parents must simultaneously manage luggage, backpacks, strollers, and excited young travelers.Large transportation hubs often turn simple family vacations into physically demanding experiences.Recognizing these challenges, Airwheel expanded its intelligent mobility philosophy beyond adult travelers by introducing the SQ3 and SQ3S children's rideable suitcases.Rather than simply producing smaller luggage, Airwheel created an entirely new travel companion designed specifically for younger travelers.The SQ3 series combines three essential functions into one product:Children's luggageElectric mobilityInteractive travel companionChildren can comfortably ride the suitcase when walking becomes tiring, while parents benefit from a more relaxed and enjoyable travel experience.The award-winning SQ3S has received international recognition from the French Design Awards, MUSE Design Awards, and New York

BRISBANE, AUS, July 7, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Annature, the Australian eSignature and identity verification platform, has today released its complete AML/CTF compliance module for accounting practices, coinciding with the commencement of Tranche 2 obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006.The module is the first Australian AML/CTF platform to integrate directly with the practice management systems accounting firms operate every day - including Xero Practice Manager, FYI, Xplan, Worksorted, and MYOB PM - giving firms a single view of the AML/CTF status of every client from within the tools they already use.For the estimated 60,000 Australian accounting firms newly captured under Tranche 2, the module provides everything the regime requires: generating AML/CTF Programs, ML/TF Risk Assessments, and supporting procedure documents; running customer identity verification and AML screening; risk-rating and monitoring clients; and maintaining the audit trail that AUSTRAC expects reporting entities to keep.Existing AML/CTF platforms on the market have largely been built for enterprise financial institutions with dedicated compliance teams - introducing complex risk assessment processes, structured training modules with quizzes and scenario-based learning, and rigid workflows that dictate how compliance work must be done. Annature has taken a different approach, building a module that supports firms in meeting their obligations without prescribing a specific workflow. Firms are given the flexibility to conduct risk assessments through recorded engagement meetings, structured questionnaires, or existing internal processes, and are not required to route staff through mandatory training scenarios that assume a level of complexity most Australian accounting practices do not operate at."The obligations under Tranche 2 don't require enterprise-grade compliance software to meet," said Corey Cacic, Founder and CEO of Annature. "Most Australian accounting firms are small to medium practices with sensible, established client relationships. They need a platform that fits how they already work, connects to the systems they already use, and doesn't charge them a monthly subscription for the parts that should just be included."Annature has also broken with an emerging industry pricing pattern in which AML compliance vendors typically charge per client per month for ongoing monitoring. For firms with hundreds or thousands of clients, this recurring cost can run into tens of thousands of dollars annually. Under Annature's pricing model, ongoing monitoring is included with every AML & CTF screening check the firm runs, at no additional charge, for the next ten years. Firms are notified in real time when a client's status changes - for example, if a client becomes a Politically Exposed Person, is added to a sanctions list, or is identified in adverse media coverage."Ongoing monitoring is part of doing the job properly," said Cacic. "Charging per client per month for a service that should just be standard is a pricing model we're not willing to adopt. Firms shouldn't have to pay a subscription to know if one of their clients has been sanctioned."Annature's practice management integrations are designed to eliminate the need for firms to maintain separate client lists across compliance and practice management tools. The integration pulls a firm's complete client list into Annature's AML/CTF dashboard, displays the current AML/CTF status of every client, and syncs results back into the practice management platform as compliance actions are completed. Xero Practice Manager is the first integration to launch, with FYI, Xplan, Worksorted, and MYOB PM following before the end of July 2026.Annature has confirmed plans to extend the module into Know Your Business (KYB) verification later in 2026, in partnership with identity verification specialist FrankieOne. The KYB capability will support the identification and verification of beneficial owners for company and trust customers, building on the initial module's focus on individual customers.About AnnatureAnnature is Australia's leading eSignature and Identity verification provider, trusted by over 6,700 businesses. With a Pay as you go model and deep integration across the business app ecosystem, Annature delivers secure, affordable, and locally supported solutions for professionals across the country. Annature's growing product suite also includes integrated payments and compliance features designed to support both domestic and international regulatory requirements.https://www.annature.com.auCONTACT:Name: Corey CacicEmail: corey@annature.com.auSOURCE: Annature Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, July 7, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - WeR1 Consultants Pte Ltd (“WeR1”), a specialist in corporate strategy and investor relations, has been appointed by Singapore Exchange Limited (“SGX”) as a service provider for both programmes under the Value Unlock initiative designed to strengthen foundations and drive value creation among SGX-listed companies (“listcos”).Founded in 1999, WeR1 has been approved for both the Equip and the Elevate programmes of the S$30 million MAS-SGX initiative under which Singapore listcos can avail themselves to grants to offset costs for professional services related to enhancing corporate strategies, sharpening investment narratives and deepening investor and media engagement, as well as costs for training programmes to strengthen capabilities.WeR1 is launching three training programmes – Lining Your IR Calendar Effectively, Turning Crisis into Opportunity, and Specialist Writing for Financial Markets – under the Equip Grant, under which participating companies can claim 50% co-funding support of up to S$15,000 each.For the Elevate Grant, WeR1 has been approved to offer investor relations (“IR”) services. Undervalued companies which intend to bridge the valuation gap can receive 50% co-funding support, capped at S$200,000 per listco, for this programme.WeR1’s appointment reflects its 27-year proven track record of helping small- to mid-cap listcos, which often struggle with weak market visibility, in their financial communications. Led by former Reuters correspondent and Merrill Lynch equity analyst Lai Kwok Kin (“KK Lai”), the firm has supported dozens of listcos in the region for corporate strategy, IPO and crisis communications, and IR.A core approach of WeR1 for the Elevate programme is its Corporate & Business Update (“CBU”) methodology, a disclosure-based narrative refresh designed for listcos with limited analyst coverage, uneven trading liquidity and low investor engagement. WeR1 has helped more than 30 companies articulate their corporate transformation, including Fu Yu Corporation and Zico Holdings.KK Lai, WeR1’s Founder and Managing Director, said: “We are deeply honoured to have been approved for both programmes under the MAS-SGX Value Unlock Initiative. Many smaller listcos remain undervalued because they do not communicate with clarity and consistency. WeR1 intends to bring its experience and approaches to help these companies overcome the valuation gap and increase trading liquidity.”WeR1 is inviting SGX-listed companies, particularly smaller Mainboard and Catalist issuers, to explore their eligibility under the Equip and Elevate programmes.Media contactWeR1 Consultants Pte Ltd9 Raffles PlaceLevel 6, Republic PlazaSingapore 048619Tel: (65) 6677 3032Isaac Tang, valueunlock@wer1.net or isaactang@wer1.net Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Brisbane, Queensland, July 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the construction and started up the Company's Generation 2.0 Graphene Manufacturing Technology Plant (the "Gen 2.0 Plant") which is expected to produce 10 tonnes of graphene per annum once remaining works are completed and the Gen 2.0 Plant is optimised. It was started up on schedule before the end June 2026. The total capital cost for the Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to be at or below the estimated cost of AU$2.3 million by the end of the project completion at the end of 2026, as the project costs are under budget to date. Figure 1 shows the plasma system during the commissioning of the Gen 2.0 Plant.Figure 1: Plasma system during commissioning of the Gen 2.0 PlantTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/304008_cdb73535e437ea00_001full.jpgThe remaining works for this project, which are expected to be completed by end of September 2026, are:Complete graphene quality optimisation,Complete production volume optimisation,Complete graphene powder pack filling optimisation.Following which, the following activity is expected to be completed by the of December 2026:Complete self-power generation supply installation.Once fully complete and optimised the Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to be largely self-powered from standalone energy generation that utilizes renewable sources, an energy storage system and hydrogen enriched natural gas provided by tail gas power generation.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/304008_gmg.jpgGMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "Bringing our second-generation graphene production plant online on time and within our expected capital cost to date is a major milestone for GMG and a testament to the skill and commitment of our team and partners. The Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to deliver up to 10 tonnes of graphene per year once remaining works are completed and optimised, significantly increasing our production capacity to support customer demand across our battery, coatings, lubricant additives and other graphene products. We are now focused on completing the optimisation of graphene quality and production volumes, as well as commissioning our self-powered energy systems and powder packing capabilities. With this plant, we are not only scaling output but also advancing our vision of highly efficient graphene manufacturing that can be replicated and deployed globally."GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "The successful start-up of the Gen 2.0 Plant marks an important step in GMG's growth and validates our strategy of investing in scalable, efficient, and increasingly self-powered graphene production technology. Delivering this project on schedule and at or below the planned capital cost to date reflects strong project discipline and reinforces GMG's capability to execute complex technology developments. As we complete the remaining optimisation work and bring the plant's renewable and hydrogen-enriched energy systems fully online, we expect this facility to demonstrate both the commercial and environmental benefits of GMG's proprietary plasma-based graphene manufacturing process. We believe this strengthens our platform for long-term value creation for shareholders, customers, and partners."About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries"). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed at improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries.GMG's 4 critical business objectives are:Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processesBuild Revenue from Energy Savings ProductsDevelop Next-Generation BatteryDevelop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution CapabilityFor further information, please contact:Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com, +61 415 445 223Leo Karabelas at Focus Communications Investor Relations, leo@fcir.ca, +1 647 689 6041Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.
