TOKYO, Dec 18, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TANAKA MIRAI Lab., an in-house innovation organization of TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd. (head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Koichiro Tanaka), has co-created the musical work with Sound Wellness Lab, the sound research institute of Della Co., Ltd., a long-established label known for music that supports mental and physical well-being. The series features musical works composed entirely from the sounds of precious metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), and platinum (Pt). The fourth release in the series, “Precious Metal Orchestra – A Musical Voyage through the Sound of Precious Metals for Christmas” became available on major music streaming services on Friday, October 31, 2025, available exclusively in Japanese.TANAKA has been advancing a transformation of its overall business toward the year 2085, the 200th anniversary of its founding, with the aim of “creating a bright future that no one has ever seen before.” As part of this initiative, TANAKA established the TANAKA MIRAI Lab., an organization dedicated to driving the creation of new paradigms for a better future—from emergence to realization—and has been pursuing a wide range of research and development activities.As one of its research themes, TANAKA MIRAI Lab. has turned its focus to the “acoustic properties of precious metals”. With support from Della’s Sound Wellness Lab—which scientifically analyzes the physiological and psychological effects of sound on humans and produces musical works based on these insights—TANAKA MIRAI Lab. has been developing a unique series of musical compositions created solely from precious metal sounds since June 2025.The fourth collaborative musical work in the series features a Christmas theme. The piece is composed entirely of shimmering sound sources created from real precious metals performing well-known and classic Christmas melodies, delivering an ‘illumination of sound’ that enriches and transforms any space. The sound design was led by composer Mitsuhiro, renowned for his many acclaimed healing-music works.Going forward, we plan to further expand the range of precious metal sound sources and incorporate more diverse performance techniques, with the aim of establishing ‘precious metal sound’ as a new musical genre.Composer Mitsuhiro’s CommentThe sound produced by pure precious metals is astonishingly clear. It extends with a pristine, unwavering purity—like the crisp air of an early winter morning—and that clarity is part of its unique appeal. In an era that values music capable of moving the heart through the power of simple, authentic sound, I hope these compositions will be enjoyed across many occasions, from celebrations such as weddings to in-store background music, or even as a musical gift accompanying something special for a loved one.Composition DetailsTrack List1.

Leveraging TANAKA’s core strengths, the team specially crafted eight types of precious metal plates—including gold (Au), silver (Ag), and platinum (Pt). Through months of prototyping and repeated recording sessions, these materials were successfully transformed into high-quality sound sources.Sound sources of various pitches were recorded by striking precious metal plates of different sizes (shown here is pure gold) mounted on the glockenspiel, which is a keyboard percussion instrument that produces sound by striking metal bars with mallets.The compositions recorded using sound sources derived from each precious metal—each possessing its own distinct tone, resonance (overtones), and even ultrasonic overtones beyond the audible range—are well-known masterpieces of classical music. These works have already been released as Vol. 1 through Vol. 3 in the unique “precious metal sound” series.Sound Wellness Lab (Dela Co., Ltd.)Della Co., Ltd. has established its own research institute, the Sound Wellness Lab, to harness the power of music in medical and wellness settings. The company scientifically analyzes the effects that elements such as the resonance, volume, and tempo of sound have on people's physiological and psychological states and continues to explore the possibilities of sound in collaboration with experts in a variety of fields.Official website: https://www.della.co.jp/Mitsuhiro's biographyGraduated in 1985 from the Department of Composition at Kunitachi College of Music.

Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and innovator of next-generation lithium-ion battery technology, reports the final assay results from its 2022 exploration and definition drilling program at the Company's 100%-owned Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project (the "Project"). Today's disclosure includes results from the remaining twenty-two (22) drill holes on the West Limb, along with complementary results from six (6) previously disclosed holes in the Southwest extension of the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor ("MOGC") flake graphite deposit.These results extend the drilled strike length of mineralization to approximately eight (8) kilometers along a folded structure. All assay results from the 2022 drill campaign have now been received and released.HighlightsFinal assay results received from the Focus's 2022 Lac Tetepisca drill program drill program have now been received, completing 74 drill holes totalling 14,900.5 meters and 11,824 assays and enabling the Company to proceed with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate in Q1 2026.Results from the 22 West Limb and 6 Southwest MOGC holes extend confirmed graphite mineralization along a approximately 8-km strike length, significantly expanding the scale of the Lac Tetepisca system.Multiple West Limb holes returned significant graphite intervals, more or less aligned on strike along one of the aeromagnetic anomalies, including:39.16 m (true) @ 9.02% Cg, including 10.50 m @ 24.49% Cg (LT-22-160)12.55 m (true) @ 8.90% Cg and 24.97 m (true) @ 6.43% Cg (LT-22-161)10.98 m (true) @ 8.17% Cg and multiple additional mineralized horizons (LT-22-162)Drilling at the Southwest MOGC intersected a second, structurally distinct mineralized horizon, highlighted by:20.19 m (true) @ 9.71% Cg, including 8.61 m @ 14.76% Cg (LT-22-141)Completion of the full assay dataset represents a major technical milestone, positioning Focus to reassess the scale, continuity, and development potential of Lac Tetepisca as it advances toward metallurgical, purification, and downstream application testing.Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite, stated, "The completion of all assays from our 2022 drilling program provides the complete dataset required to advance an updated Mineral Resource Estimate, anticipated in Q1 2026. The current maiden resource predates all 2022 drilling, and the results confirm meaningful upgrade potential across the Lac Tetepisca system."While mineralized intervals intersected in the West Limb are not to the same extent than those in the main MOGC deposit, it demonstrated the continuity of the broad low grade graphitic mineralization in this area, at a different stratigraphic level than on the South Limb where MOGC is located. The extent of this low-grade zone is apparently sufficient to be considered in the incoming Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") update planned for Q1 2026.Despite being lower grade, definition of, "significant mineralization" is defined as intercepts grading ≥5.0% graphitic carbon ("Cg") over a minimum true thickness of 6.0 metres, with internal dilution set at a maximum of 7.0 consecutive metres and no external dilution. This definition has been maintained to be consistent with previous releases.MOGC Resource BackgroundThe MOGC flake graphite deposit is part of the Company's Lac Tetepisca Project, located southwest of the Manicouagan Reservoir on the Nitassinan of the Pessamit Innu First Nation, in Quebec's Cote-Nord region. The MOGC is currently defined by a linear 1.5 km long segment of an 8 km long folded geophysical magnetic-electromagnetic anomaly that trends N035°. The April 4, 2022 NI 43-101 Technical Report, prepared by DRA America's Inc. ("DRA"), outlines a pit-constrained Indicated Resource of 59.3 million tonnes (Mt) grading 10.61% Graphitic Carbon (Cg) for an estimated content of 6.3 Mt of natural flake graphite (in-situ), and an Inferred Resource of 14.9 Mt grading 11.06% Cg for an estimated content of 1.6 Mt of natural flake graphite. This maiden resource predates all drilling completed in 2022. An updated MRE incorporating all 2022 drill holes is expected in Q1 2026.The current maiden resource-which positions the MOGC as one of the largest flake graphite deposits in North America-is detailed in the NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project, Quebec, prepared by DRA and dated April 4, 2022. The reporst is available on the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca/ on the Company's profile. This maiden resource predates all drilling completed in 2022. As demonstrated in previous releases, the 2022 drill program extended the mineralization at depth and to the southwest, and now to the West Limb.2022 Exploration and Definition Drill ProgramFocus completed 74 diamond drill holes totalling 14,900.5 metres between March 3 and November 17, 2022 at the Project. Program objectives of the exploration and definition drilling program were twofold:Complete systematic definition drilling along strike and at depth of the MOGC deposit to support the conversion of Inferred resources to the Indicated category and to expand the total mineral resource estimate.Test the graphite abundance that might be the cause of the magnetic and aeromagnetic anomaly extending from the MOGC toward the Southwest extension and West Limb.Prior to this release, the Company disclosed full results from twenty-seven (27) definition holes drilled along strike of the MOGC deposit, partial results for eighteen (18) exploration holes at the Southwest MOGC target and seven (7) exploration holes at the West Limb target.The remaining results from West Limb (22 holes, Table 1, Figure 1) and Southwest MOGC (6 holes, Table 3, Figure 1) are provided herein. All assays results for the 2022 campaign are now complete.Also included are minor corrections of previously released results for two (2) West Limb holes (Table 2, Figure 1).One aborted hole (LT-22-147) in the Southwest MOGC target was abandoned due to technical/drilling difficulties and was successfully re-drilled and under the LT-22-172 moniker.Please consult the Company's website at www.focusgraphite.com for previous news releases containing analytical highlights from the 2022 exploration and deep definition drilling program at the Lac Tetepisca project, as well as applicable location maps.West Limb: Exploration Drill ResultsThe West Limb zone consists of the other segment of the regionally folded aeromagnetic anomaly and hosts up to three time-parallel aeromagnetic anomalies interpreted as potential stratigraphic duplication or tectonic imbrication within the folded structure. A total of twenty-nine (29) exploration holes (5,421.6 m) were drilled on different segments of the anomalies, of which results from seven (7) on the southeastmost anomaly were previously released (May 28, 2025). The twenty-two (22) exploration holes released today (Table 1) confirm consistent graphitic horizons and highlighted the structural complexity of the area. Six (6) drill holes intersected significant graphitic mineralization, including:Hole LT-22-120Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 121.76 metres on Section L19+00NW, intersected 13.22 metres (true thickness) grading 5.16% Cg (from 19.00 to 32.70 metres core length).Hole LT-22-158Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 138.39 metres on Section L07+00NW, intersected 9.98 metres (true thickness) grading 5.77% Cg (from 26.75 to 37.00 metres core length).Hole LT-22-159Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 199.97 metres on Section L22+00NW, intersected 7.56 metres (true thickness) grading 8.75% Cg (from 192.15 to 199.90 metres core length).Hole LT-22-160Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 207.31 metres on Section L16+00NW,Intersected 14.37 metres (true thickness) grading 6.04% Cg (from 61.05 to 76.05 metres core length);Intersected 39.16 metres (true thickness) grading 9.02% Cg (from 231.00 to 271.65 metres core length).including 10.50 metres at 24.49% Cg (from 231.00 to 241.90 metres core length).Hole LT-22-161Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 209.70 metres on Section L16+00NW,Intersected 12.55 metres (true thickness) grading 8.90% Cg (from 34.30 to 47.40 metres core length);including 7.47 metres at 12.06% Cg (from 39.60 to 47.40 metres core length).Intersected 24.97 metres (true thickness) grading 6.43% Cg (from 189.90 to 215.90 metres core length).Hole LT-22-162Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 203.88 metres on Section L16+00NW,Intersected 10.98 metres (true thickness) grading 8.17% Cg (from 36.50 to 47.85 metres core length);Intersected 7.63 metres (true thickness) grading 5.25% Cg (from 121.25 to 129.15 metres core length);Intersected 21.68 metres (true thickness) grading 5.02% Cg (from 164.35 to 186.85 metres core length);Intersected 16.54 metres (true thickness) grading 6.79% Cg (from 188.80 to 206.00 metres core length);Intersected 7.70 metres (true thickness) grading 11.15% Cg (from 260.20 to 268.20 metres core length).Correction to Previously Released Results (Table 2)Hole LT-22-112Drilled at 300°/-45° to a vertical depth of 118.74 metres on Section L16+00SW,Intersected 30.99 metres (true thickness) grading 5.83% Cg (from 32.00 to 64.00 metres core length). Previously 6.35% Ct (Total Carbon) as opposed to Graphitic carbon (Cg);Intersected 19.35 metres (true thickness) grading 8.87% Cg (from 73.00 to 93.00 metres core length). Previously 9.68% Ct (Total Carbon) as opposed to Graphitic carbon (Cg).Including 8.72 metres at 13.68% Cg (from 84.00 to 93.00metres core length).Southwest MOGC: Exploration Drill ResultsThe Southwest MOGC was tested with eighteen (18) exploration holes totalling 2,838.8 metres, all previously released (11 July 2024 and 28 may 2025). Complementary assay results for six (6) holes are released today (Table 3). Five (5) of these holes intersected significant graphitic intervals beneath a thick layer of barren paragneiss, indicating stratigraphic duplication or tectonic complexities that were previously unnoticed.Hole LT-22-141Drilled at 350°/-45° to a vertical depth of 161.47 metres on Section L00+00NW,Intersected 7.26 metres (true thickness) grading 5.77% Cg (from 118.50 to 126.50 metres core length);Intersected 20.19 metres (true thickness) grading 9.71% Cg (from 189.00 to 211.00 metres core length).including 8.61 metres at 14.76% Cg (from 199.00 to 211.00 metres core length).Hole LT-22-142Drilled at 350°/-45° to a vertical depth of 71.30 metres on Section L00+00SW, intersected 10.95 metres (true thickness) grading 6.70% Cg (from 30.00 to 42.00 metres core length).Hole LT-22-143Drilled at 350°/-45° to a vertical depth of 128.19 metres on Section L01+75SW, intersected 6.35 metres (true thickness) grading 8.94% Cg (from 127.15 to 134.15 metres core length).Hole LT-22-144Drilled at 350°/-45° to a vertical depth of 104.89 metres on Section L01+75SW,Intersected 12.72 metres (true thickness) grading 5.08% Cg (from 52.00 to 66.00 metres core length);Intersected 14.60 metres (true thickness) grading 6.42% Cg (from 126.50 to 142.50 metres core length).Hole LT-22-146Drilled at 350°/-45° to a vertical depth of 72.12 metres on Section L03+50SW, intersected 8.96 metres (true thickness) grading 5.05% Cg (from 40.50 to 50.50 metres core length).The graphitic zones intersected at the Southwest MOGC and West limb target are thinner or of lower grade than those in the MOGC deposit and appear to be partially located at different stratigraphic levels. Ongoing 3-D structural aims to integrate the West Limb and Southwest targets with the main MOGC mineralized system.Figure 1 - Location of the drill holes and drill hole sections discussed in today's news releaseTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/278461_70fbefdbb43fb962_001full.jpgWest Limb Hole IDSectionDDHInterceptsLengthGraphitic CarbonDepthDipAzimuthDepthFromToCore lengthTrue length(m)(°)(°)(m)(m)(m)(m)(m)(%)LT-22-114L18+00NW95.54-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-115L19+00NW102.42-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-116L20+00NW93.02-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-117L21+00NW94.41-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-118L21+00NW104.96-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-119L20+00NW144.88-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-120L19+00NW121.76-4530018.5019.0032.7013.7013.225.16LT-22-148L18+00NW89.47-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-149L17+00NW85.23-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-150L15+00NW87.84-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-151L13+00NW103.61-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-152L14+00NW110.09-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-153L11+00NW116.85-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-154L09+00NW115.07-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-155L07+00NW107.97-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-156L05+00NW115.11-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-157L05+00NW134.23-45300No Significant intercept LT-22-158L07+00NW138.39-4530021.5626.7537.0010.259.985.77LT-22-159L22+00NW199.97-45300135.09192.15199.907.757.568.75LT-22-160L22+00NW207.31-4530049.6961.0576.0515.0014.376.04180.95231.00271.6540.6539.169.02 Including170.27231.00241.9010.9010.5024.49LT-22-161L24+00NW209.70-4530030.0034.3047.4013.1012.558.90146.37189.90215.9026.0024.976.43 Including31.9539.6047.407.807.4712.06LT-22-162L26+00NW203.88-4530029.9336.5047.8511.3510.988.1788.33121.25129.157.907.635.25123.66164.35186.8522.5021.685.02138.97188.80206.0017.2016.546.79185.42260.20268.208.007.7011.15 Table 1 - Highlights from the twenty-two (22) exploration holes drilled at the West limb MOGC target in 2022 released today West Limb (correction on previously released results) Hole IDSectionDDHInterceptsLengthGraphitic CarbonDepthDipAzimuthDepthFromToCore lengthTrue length(m)(°)(°)(m)(m)(m)(m)(m)(%)LT-22-112L16+00NW118.74-4530033.7432.0064.0032.0030.995.8358.6273.0093.0020.0019.358.87 Including62.5184.0093.009.008.7213.68LT-22-113L17+00NW116.99-45300No Significant intercept Table 2 - Correction to previously release highlights grades results.

Core descriptions, sampling information and analytical results were captured in Geotic™ core logging software and then used with LeapFrog Geo software for tri-dimensional (3-D) rendering. The 3-D mineralisation envelope of MOGC has an azimuth of N035.5° and dips at -58.5° to the south-east. The drill holes crosscut the envelope of the main mineralised zone's strike (80°) and dips (60o) at high angle. (2) "Best intercepts" and "significant graphitic mineralisation" are defined as Cg grading a minimum of 5.0% over at least 6.0 m with internal dilution set at a maximum of 7.0 m consecutive and no external dilution. "Best sub-intercepts" are defined as Cg grading a minimum of 10.0% over 6.0 m with same limitations on dilution. The 5% cg and 10% Cg cut-offs are used solely to delineate the extent of the mineralised envelopes corresponding to "Best intercepts" and "Best sub-intercepts", respectively. Economic cut-offs based on geological, metallurgical, mining, and economic factors, parameters and considerations will be determined as part of the mineral resource estimate update planned for the Lac Tétépisca project later through subsequent technical studies.(3) Barren core intervals within the mineralised envelope of the MOGC that were not analysed are considered as 0.0% Cg internal dilution.(4) Analyses were performed by Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, Ont., an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certified facility using combustion in induction furnace and infrared spectrometry (code 4F - C-Graphitic) and are reported as graphitic carbon (Cg) and total sulphur (code 4F-S), with about 10% of the sample duplicated for quality control analyzed by COREM. Except for holes 145 and 146, where all the samples were analysed by COREM and the cross checks by ACTLABS for quality control. (5) QA/QC program: IOS introduced 17% reference samples, including certified and internal reference materials, duplicates, and blank samples. 9.7 percent of the drill core samples were duplicated and re-analyzed by COREM for graphitic, total, organic and inorganic carbon as well as total sulphur (or by ACTLABS for duplicated samples in holes 145 and 146). The same 9.7 % of the drill core samples were also analysed by ACTLABS Laboratories of Ancaster, Ontario (ISO/IEC 17025:2005 with CAN-P-1579) for trace metals by ICP-MS after aqua-regia digestion (code 1E2). 2022 Drill Program: Design, Operation, and Quality ControlThe 2022 drilling program was designed and operated by IOS Geosciences Inc. (IOS) of Saguenay, Quebec, under the supervision of Table Jamésienne de Concertation Minière (TJCM) of Chibougamau, Quebec, acting as technical adviser to the Company. Drilling was performed by Forage G4 of Val-d'Or, Quebec using a single drill rig.Sample Preparation and AnalysisStarting in March 2022, drill core boxes for each hole, once logged, were packaged by sequential numbers onto pallets in the field by IOS personnel and then shipped by truck every two weeks to IOS's facilities in Saguenay where they are currently archived. Sampling has been conducted with a diamond saw, with NQ-diameter core from the Southwest MOGC and West Limb targets being halved, while all HQ-diameter core from the MOGC deposit being quartered. Sample preparation work at IOS consisting of crushing and grinding and the insertion in the sample sequences of QA/QC samples. A total of 545 pulverized splits from the currently disclosed set of drill holes were sent to Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario (ISO/IEC 17025:2005 with CAN-P-1579) for graphitic carbon (code 4F - C-Graphitic) and total sulphur analysis (code 4F - S) using an Eltra® induction furnace with infrared spectroscopy. However, holes 145 and 146 followed the process prior to the inversion of the laboratories (Corem as first laboratory and verification by actlabs). The 14 samples from holes 145 and 146 were analysed by COREM for graphitic carbon (code B10) and total sulphur (code B41). The subset of 9.7% of samples was also analyzed for 40 trace element analysis using ICP-OES and ICP-MS after an aqua-regia digestion at Activation Laboratories (Code 1E2 - Aqua Regia). This brings the total number of core samples analyzed under the project to more than 9,800, excluding reference materials and duplicates.Quality Assurance / Quality ControlThe analytical quality control program for the Lac Tetepisca project has been implemented by an IOS registered chemist and is identical to the one used for previous drill programs at Lac Tetepisca and at the Company's Lac Knife project. Under the QA/QC program, a total of 54 duplicates of the core samples, or 9.7 %, were analysed by the two selected laboratories. The current set of analyses included 52 duplicates of the core samples which were re-analyzed by COREM for graphitic carbon duplicated analyses (code B10), total sulphur (code B41), total carbon (code B45), organic carbon (code B58) and inorganic carbon (code B11) and the 2 duplicates of the core samples from holes 145 and 146 were re-analyzed by Activation Laboratories for graphitic carbon (code 4F - C-Graphitic) and total sulphur analysis (code 4F - S), in accordance with the QAQC plan when these holes are treated. A total of 105 reference materials (about 17% of all the samples analysed) were inserted in the sample sequences, either certified or internal reference material samples (CDN-GR1, CMRI12, Oreas-723, OREAS-724, OREAS-725, CGL-004, NCS-DC-60119), duplicates (quarter-split core or grinding duplicates), and preparation and analyses blanks, not including the ones inserted by the assaying laboratories.Qualified PersonThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Rejean Girard, P.Geo. (QC), President of IOS Geosciences Inc., a consultant to the Company, and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument NI-43-101.About the Lac Tetepisca Graphite ProjectFocus Graphite's 100%-owned Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project is in the Southwest Manicouagan reservoir area of the Cote-Nord region of Quebec, one of North America's leading emerging flake graphite districts. The project lies on the Nitassinan of the Pessamit Innu First Nation, 234 km north-northwest of the city of Baie-Comeau, an industrial city located where the Manicouagan River intersects the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. It comprises two contiguous properties, Lac Tetepisca and Lac Tetepisca Nord. Together, the two properties form a block of 126 map-designated claims (total area: 6,785.14 ha). Focus purchased a 100% unencumbered interest of the mineral rights in the 67 CDC claims constituting the original Lac Tetepisca property from a third party in August 2011. The Lac Tetepisca Nord property was map-staked by the Company in 2012. The Lac Tetepisca Project is accessible year-round by way of a network of secondary gravel roads that extend north from Highway 389, 10 km to the south of the Manic 5 hydroelectric power station.From 2014 to 2021, Focus tested the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor with 106 drill holes drilled over a 1.4 km strike length (total: 16,468 metres). The drilling formed the basis of a NI 43-101 maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the Lac Tetepisca graphite project with the MRE technical report filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca/) on April 5, 2022. The mineral resource estimate, prepared by DRA Global Limited's Montreal office, includes a pit-constrained Indicated resource for the MOGC prospect at the Lac Tetepisca project of 59.3 million tonnes (Mt) grading 10.61% Graphitic Carbon (Cg) for an estimated content of 6.3 Mt of natural flake graphite (in-situ), plus an Inferred resource of 14.9 Mt grading 11.06% Cg for an estimated content of 1.6 Mt of natural flake graphite.Additional maps of the Lac Tetepisca property showing the location of the MOGC graphite deposit, along with updated drill sections, are available on the Company's website at www.focusgraphite.com.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TruMerit, a worldwide leader in international credentials evaluation to support health worker careers, and the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP), The Leader in Pediatric Education for Nurse Practitioners®, have announced they will jointly develop a global micro-credential to help advance the knowledge and skills of the world's pediatric nursing workforce.The collaboration aims to improve health outcomes for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults worldwide amid a global shortage of pediatric nurses that is limiting access to evidence-based pediatric care in countries of all income levels. The partners envision that their micro-credential program will be the centerpiece of a larger initiative to engage global stakeholders in educating, assessing, and credentialing the nursing workforce in this specialization.A micro-credential is a short, competency-based recognition for specific skills, knowledge, or accomplishments that is offered as a more flexible and time-efficient alternative to the coursework tied to a traditional degree. When it becomes available in mid-2026, the NAPNAP micro-credential will be available to first-level, general nurses (RN) in any country who complete a set of online learning modules and pass an examination grounded in evidence-based pediatric nursing fundamentals of care within a global context.The partnership leverages NAPNAP's expertise in developing and delivering online educational courses in pediatric nursing, along with TruMerit's experience in creating assessment tools for healthcare professionals and global standards that support testing and evaluation for specialty credentials.Under this partnership, both organizations are working with a global team of subject matter experts to develop a competency framework for the coursework, identify instructional content, and create the assessment to validate learning and content mastery. NAPNAP is leading content development while TruMerit is creating the assessment leading to the granting of the micro-credential."This is a bold strategy that is driven by NAPNAP's 50+ years of experience in providing high-quality education to pediatric nurse practitioners," said James H. Wendorf, NAPNAP's chief executive officer. "With TruMerit's expertise in credentialing and extensive global relationships, we look forward to enhancing pediatric clinical knowledge and supporting health care workers around the world to increase child health outcomes.""We are thrilled to have this opportunity to bring our expertise to bear on NAPNAP's efforts to expand pediatric knowledge and skills throughout the world's nursing workforce. Our success in this endeavor will be a testament to how micro-credentialing can be a powerful force in achieving our shared goals of making the world a better, healthier place for women to have a child and for children to develop in a healthy manner," said Dr. Peter Preziosi, TruMerit's President and CEO.About NAPNAPThe National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) is the professional association for pediatric nurse practitioners and all pediatric-focused advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) in the U.S. and abroad. NAPNAP is recognized as the global leader, trusted authority and indispensable resource on comprehensive pediatric advanced practice nursing. Established in 1973, NAPNAP was the first professional society for nurse practitioners and remains the only U.S. organization dedicated to both advancing the APRN role and improving the quality of health care for infants, children and adolescents. For more information, please visit napnap.org.About TruMeritTruMerit is a worldwide leader in healthcare workforce development. Formerly known as CGFNS International, the organization has a nearly 50-year history supporting the career mobility of nurses and other healthcare workers-and those who license and hire them-by validating their education, skills, and experience as they seek authorization to practice in the United States and other countries. As TruMerit, this mission has been expanded to building workforce capacity that meets the needs of people in a rapidly evolving global health landscape. Through its Global Health Workforce Development Institute, the organization is advancing evidence-based research, thought leadership, and advocacy in support of healthcare workforce development solutions, including globally recognized practice standards and certifications that will enhance career pathways for healthcare workers. www.trumerit.orgContact:Name: David St. JohnEmail: dstjohn@trumerit.orgSOURCE: TruMerit Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - December 16, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from drill holes H100 and H101, completed as part of the 2025 drill program at its 100%-owned Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia.Drill holes H100 and H101 were designed to test eastern extensions of mineralization beyond the 2024 conceptual pit shell, while also evaluating depth continuity and metal zonation within the Hat porphyry system. Results from both drill holes confirm broad, continuous copper-gold-cobalt-scandium mineralization and, when integrated with drill holes announced earlier in 2025, define an expanded mineralization envelope at the Hat Deposit. Assay results from drill holes H102 to H108 will be released when received from the Lab and reviewed and confirmed by our technical team.Key HighlightsMineralization extended eastward beyond the 2024 conceptual pit outline, supported by long, continuous intercepts in both H100 and H101.H100 intersected 497.0 m of mineralization (129.0-626.0 m) averaging 0.27% CuEq (excluding Sc₂O₃), confirming continuity into previously under-tested areas east of the 2024 conceptual pit.Elevated cobalt values at depth in H100 may be indicative of proximity to deeper portions of the porphyry system based on observed metal associations at Hat.H101 returned 992.4 m of continuous mineralization, with multiple higher-grade intervals and a higher gold-to-copper ratio relative to the established average of the Hat deposit.Deeper part of the Hat porphyry system remain untested by drilling,Drill holes H100 and H101 at the bottom are more than 500m apart.Drill Hole H100497.0 m (129.0-626.0 m) averaging 0.27% CuEq, including:239.8 m at 0.30% CuEq141.0 m at 0.31% CuEq106.2 m at 0.35% CuEq73.0 m at 0.44% CuEqDrill hole H100 confirms that mineralization extends eastward beyond the 2024 conceptual pit boundary and remains continuous over substantial thicknesses. The presence of elevated cobalt values within deeper intervals is interpreted by the Company as a potential vector toward deeper parts of the porphyry system. While the significance of this association continues to be evaluated, cobalt enrichment has consistently occurred alongside stronger copper-gold mineralization in several areas of the Hat deposit.Drill Hole H101992.4 m (7.5-999.9 m) averaging 0.29% CuEq, including:618.0 m at 0.37% CuEq153.0 m at 0.52% CuEq91.0 m at 0.72% CuEq32.0 m at 1.26% CuEq11.2 m at 2.80% CuEqDrill hole H101 is notable for its higher gold-to-copper ratio compared to the broader Hat deposit average. Such metal ratios are commonly observed within zoned porphyry systems and may reflect variations in metal distribution at different structural or vertical levels. Together with the observed continuity of mineralization from near surface to the end of the drill hole, adds an important new constraint to the evolving geological interpretation of the Hat system. Table 1 tabulates the assay results of H100 and H101.Table 1: Drill holes H100 and H101 assay results:Drill hole From (m)To (m)Length (m)Ag (g/t)Au (g/t)Co (g/t)Cu (%)Sc2O3(g/t)CuEq (%) excl Sc2O3H100 129.0626.0497.00.130.1474.440.1240.30.27 Inc.195.0434.8239.80.110.1891.440.1240.20.30 Inc.195.0336.0141.00.100.2188.150.1044.80.31 Inc.195.0301.2106.20.120.2585.310.1143.80.35 Inc.195.0268.073.00.140.3386.470.1235.70.44H101 7.5999.9992.40.170.1464.50.1543.20.29 Inc.273.0891.0618.00.200.1767.720.2044.20.37 Inc.273.0426.0153.00.310.21129.290.3036.20.52 Inc.273.0364.091.00.450.28148.850.4335.20.72 Inc.276.0690.4414.40.200.1975.730.2042.60.39 Inc.578.0589.211.20.421.7084.61.2847.32.80 Inc.791.0936.0145.00.230.2059.010.2450.30.44 Inc.858.0890.032.00.730.58112.70.7148.01.26 Notes: 1 - Copper Equivalent (CuEq) currently does not include Scandium2 - The intervals presented in this table are not true widths.

Au recovery: 89.0%; Ag recovery: 68.0%; Cu recovery: 84.0%; Co recovery: 78.0%. * Copper Equivalent Calculation CuEq in % = ([Ag grade in ppm] *27.43*0.68/31.1035 + [Au grade in ppm] *2365.09*.89/31.1035 + 0.0001* [Co grade in ppm] *14.76*0.78*22.0462 + 0.0001* [Cu grade in ppm] *4.17*0.84*22.0462)/(4.17*22.0462*0.84).Details of the algorithm used to estimate %CuEq are presented in the notes above. The metal values used in our current algorithm are average trailing three years commodity prices, and do not reflect recent dramatic increases in prices of mineral commodities. Scandium, a potentially recoverable high value strategic alloy metal (customarily quoted as Sc2O3 ) that is present in small but possibly highly important amounts in Hat mineralization, is not assigned any value pending metallurgical investigations and recoverable results.Core samples are delivered securely to a fully accredited commercial laboratory and processed by industry-standard methods. Assays are received at irregular intervals, verified by reference to notes provided by our field crew, added to our database, and disseminated publicly by News Release.Figure 1: Plan view showing 2025 drill hole locations relative to the 2024 conceptual pit outline, highlighting eastward extensions of mineralizationTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_001full.jpgFigure 2: Cross-section illustrating continuity of mineralization at depth and beyond the eastern margin of the conceptual pit.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_fig2.jpgGeological InterpretationResults from drill holes H100 and H101, when combined with data from drill holes reported earlier in the 2025 season, define an expanded mineralization envelope at the Hat Deposit. Mineralization now demonstrably extends eastward beyond the conceptual pit shell, continuous to depths approaching one kilometre and supports the interpretation of a large, vertically extended porphyry system.The identification of cobalt-enriched intervals at depth in H100 and the gold-rich character of H101 provide additional geological vectors that may assist in defining future drill targets. Importantly, the deepest portions of the Hat porphyry system have not yet been tested by drilling; the Company considers these areas a priority for future exploration programs.Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented:"Drill holes H100 and H101 represent an important step forward in our understanding of the Hat system. These holes confirm that mineralization continues east of the 2024 conceptual pit, as proposed in MRE-1 and remains robust at depth. The elevated cobalt values encountered in H100, together with the higher gold-to-copper ratios observed in H101, provide valuable geological insight into the internal zonation of the system.Together with our large database, including drill results announced earlier this year, these holes collectively expand the mineralization envelope and reinforce our interpretation of Hat as a large, vertically extensive porphyry system. The deepest parts of the system remain untested, and we believe the results to date strongly justify continued, disciplined exploration focused on depth and lateral extensions."Figure 3: 2024 Conceptual pit shell in 3D and 2025 drill holes demonstrating the strategic exploration in 2025To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_003full.jpgFigure 4: Three-dimensional views of the 2024 conceptual pit shell with 2025 drill holes, demonstrating strategic targeting of depth and lateral extensions within the Hat porphyry system.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_004full.jpgFigure 5: Three-dimensional views of the 2024 conceptual pit shell with 2025 drill holes, demonstrating strategic targeting of depth and lateral extensions within the Hat porphyry system.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_005full.jpgTable 2 summarizes coordinates of the recent drill holes.Table 2.

JAKARTA, Dec 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PT TASPEN (Persero), Indonesia's pension and social insurance administrator for civil servants and public officials, is strengthening its digital transformation efforts by launching a biometric-based monthly authentication system. This initiative aims to ensure accurate pension distribution while improving accessibility for millions of retirees across the country.The new system is integrated into Andal by TASPEN, a mobile application available on the App Store and Google Play Store. Using facial recognition technology, retirees can now verify their identity remotely with a simple selfie, eliminating the need to visit TASPEN branch offices or payment partners in person.As of October 2025, more than 1.63 million retired civil servants have successfully completed biometric authentication through Andal by TASPEN, indicating strong adoption and confidence in TASPEN's digital solutions. TASPEN Corporate Secretary Henra highlighted the initiative as a significant step toward modernizing public service delivery."Our Biometric Authentication feature reflects TASPEN's commitment to building a world-class digital service ecosystem. We want to ensure retirees can access their benefits safely and conveniently from anywhere," he said.Retired civil servants without prior biometric data can register directly through the app by scanning their national ID and completing guided facial verification. The system supports both claim and nonclaim services, offering greater flexibility and reducing administrative bottlenecks. Biometric authentication is required to ensure that pension benefits are delivered only to the rightful recipients, strengthening identity assurance and preventing fraud or impersonation. If participants do not complete the authentication, the system cannot validate their eligibility status, which may result in temporary withholding of monthly pension disbursement until verification is successfully completed.This initiative aligns with Indonesia's national agenda to enhance digital governance, streamline public services, and promote inclusive technology adoption. It also strengthens TASPEN's position at the regional level. TASPEN recently welcomed a benchmarking visit from Cambodia's National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF), which sought insights into TASPEN's digital pension management practices. Through continuous investment in digital innovation, TASPEN aims to establish itself as a leading reference for modern, secure, and efficient pension administration across Asia.PT TASPEN (Persero), formally referred to as the Civil Servants' Savings and Insurance Corporation, is an Indonesian state-owned enterprise mandated to administer old-age savings insurance and pension fund programs for State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and State Officials. Established on 17 April 1963, PT TASPEN (Persero) has consistently played a significant role in promoting social welfare and financial security for Indonesia's public sector workforce. At present, PT TASPEN (Persero) offers an array of products and services, including: Work Accident Security Program (Jaminan Kecelakaan Kerja/JKK), Death Security Program (Jaminan Kematian/JKM), Old-Age Savings Program (Tabungan Hari Tua/THT),and Pension Program.About PT TASPEN (Persero)PT TASPEN (Persero) currently serves as The First Chairman of the Asian Civil Service Pension Association (ACSPA), an association of civil service social security administrators in Asia, with members including Indonesia, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Cambodia. PT TASPEN (Persero) prioritizes participant convenience and security through the implementation of its digital super-app, Andal by TASPEN.For information, participants can contact the Call Center at 1500919, visit the official website www.taspen.co.id, tcare.taspen.co.id, or access all official social media channels of PT TASPEN (Persero).

Previously, the Company also announced that certain Directors and a substantial shareholder have increased their shareholdings in the Company. On December 12, 2025, Mr. Wei Fu, Non-executive Director, Honorary Chairman of the Board and a substantial shareholder of the Company; Mr. Yifang Wu, Executive Director and Chairman of the Board; Mr. Rogers Yongqing Luo, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer; and Mr. Ian Ying Woo, Executive Director, President and Chief Financial Officer, collectively acquired 846,659 ordinary shares of the Company through open-market transactions, for a total consideration exceeding HK$38 million, representing an average price of approximately HK$45.01 per Share.

The relevant actions are seen as a clear indication of Directors and substantial shareholders' positive stance on the company's long-term development prospects.The Company's 2030 strategy sets out a dual-engine approach to deliver predictable near-term growth and value creation through commercialization of existing assets, business development partnerships, and in-house R&D milestones, while driving long-term growth and value creation through in-house R&D and discovery, as well as global commercial expansion. Everest Medicines will continue to strengthen its leadership in core therapeutic areas, advance the development and commercialization of innovative therapies, and build a globally competitive biopharmaceutical company with sustainable growth.Everest Medicines focuses on renal, autoimmune, critical care, cardiovascular, and ophthalmic disease area, advancing its pipeline through a combination of in-licensed innovative assets and in-house R&D. By 2030, the Company aims to build a high-value commercial product portfolio while selectively expanding into additional valuable therapeutic areas with blockbuster potential.The Company has established a portfolio of three commercial products and continues to develop a fully integrated commercial platform covering the entire product lifecycle. By 2030, Everest Medicines targets annual revenue exceeding RMB 15 billion, including approximately RMB 9 billion from its existing pipeline and RMB 6 billion from newly in-licensed assets, while also exploring potential out-licensing opportunities. Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 50% from 2025 to 2030 and to remain above 15% thereafter. Over the same period, the number of commercial products is expected to exceed 20, including NEFECON®, Velsipity®, XERAVA®, cefepime–taniborbactam, and Lerodalcibep.To support its international growth, Everest Medicines is advancing a global strategy focused on strengthening regulatory and clinical development capabilities, while progressively building commercial infrastructure across Europe, the United States, and emerging markets.

Since its founding in 2017, the Company has built a strong foundation through in-licensing innovative assets, completing its IPO, and executing a dual-engine strategy focused on high-potential therapeutic areas and strong commercialization and R&D capabilities," said Mr. Wei Fu, Honorary Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines and CEO of CBC Group. "CBC Group will continue to leverage its global resources and ecosystem to support the Company's growth, spanning pipeline advancement, platform building, and organizational expansion. The recent share purchases by the Directors and CBC Group's announced intention to increase its shareholding further demonstrate strong confidence in Everest Medicines' long-term prospects.""The 2030 Strategy marks a key milestone for Everest Medicines, guiding growth through BD partnerships and in-house R&D to build a larger commercial portfolio and pursue new high-potential blockbuster opportunities. Leveraging its BD capabilities and the CBC ecosystem, the Company plans to add three-to-five late-stage, high-value assets annually, aiming for peak sales within three years of reimbursement, with more than 20 new assets expected to contribute around RMB 6 billion by 2030 and RMB 30 billion by 2035. Our strong balance sheet and cash flow from commercial activities will support the implementation of our strategic initiatives." said Mr. Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines. "We will also continue to advance our in-house R&D platforms and, through our collaboration with Hasten, strengthen the late-stage pipeline and market reach.""Everest has established a scalable commercialization platform integrating medical, access, marketing, and sales capabilities," said Mr. Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. "As a chronic disease therapy, NEFECON® generated over RMB 1 billion in sales during the first three quarters of its first full year following commercial launch, validating our commercial effectiveness. Building on this success, we will extend our commercial model and expertise from renal and anti-infective therapies to additional therapeutic areas, while advancing our in vivo mRNA CAR-T and mRNA tumor vaccine platforms, addressing unmet medical needs in China and globally."Overall, the release of Everest Medicines' 2030 strategy not only sets out a systematic roadmap for future business development but also, through proactive share purchases by Directors and substantial shareholder, reflects aligned internal and external confidence in the Company's long-term prospects. Looking ahead, guided by its dual-engine strategy, Everest Medicines aims to strengthen its position in core therapeutic areas and innovative drug R&D, while building a globally competitive biopharmaceutical company with sustainable growth.
