The true width of mineralized sections has not been determined.3 - Metal equivalents should not be relied upon for future evaluations. Drill hole intercepts included in this news release are core lengths that may or may not represent true widths of mineralization. It is not possible to determine true widths.4 - Parameters used to calculate Copper Equivalent: Au price (US$/oz): 2365.09; Ag price (US$/oz): 27.43; Cu price (US$/lb): 4.17; Co price (US$/lb): 14.76. 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.Drill holes H093, H094, H095 and H096, as shown in Figure 1, are located in proximity to hole H092 and further explore the area of high metal values (i.e. H092: 411.5m with 0.62% CuEq) in an easterly extension of the main Lisle Zone. The combination of drill hole data from H090 to H096 added an approximate domain of 330 m x 400 m to the Lisle deposit that has not been delimited in any direction. Numerous intervals from those holes are included in Table 1 of this News Release.Figure 1: Drill Plan with the Induced Polarization Plan and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/268680_9bde46e9f41ae882_001full.jpgFigure 2: Section on H093 and H096 and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/268680_9bde46e9f41ae882_002full.jpgA composite of Hole H093 assays from16.3m to 693m comprises 676.7m (2220 feet) with 0.33% CuEq. Within that long mineralized section there are several higher-grade intervals, including 63.0m (206.7 ft) with 1.88 %CuEq and 21.0m (68.9 ft) with 4.78 %CuEq and 9.0m (29.5 ft) with 9.88% CuEq.A composite of drill hole H094 assays included 107.6m (353 ft) with 0.30% CuEq, in an almost throughout mineralized hole from 30 m (98 ft) to 540 m (1772 ft ) with 0.22% CuEq.Drill hole H095 is believed to have followed in an unmineralized fault that does not represent the limit of mineralization; the drill hole did not leave the fault.Mr. Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO, comments that: We believe that the previously disclosed assays, combined with assays presented in this News Release and, speculatively, additional data from core samples that are being processed in the laboratory, will further reinforce our conceptual mineral deposit model, promote resources from Indicated and Inferred categories to higher confidence levels, including Measured, and require re-design of the current open pit layout. The new drill holes will be added in a revised MRE (Maiden Resource Estimate 2025) and the PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment) that is on-going. Drill holes H093, H094 and H095 have contributed greatly to achieving new dimensions in the eastern part of the Hat deposit. This exciting new area necessitates a vigorous follow up that is currently on our agenda. Both the "footprint" and value of our project have been greatly increased, not only by the expansion but also by the recent dramatic increase in metal, mineral and commodity prices."Initial scoping of the implications of this new assay information allowed our field crew to revise and re-direct our efforts to concentrate on better defining the deposit. We hope to release further drill hole assay data soon."Table 2 summarizes coordinates of the recent drill holes.Table 2.

One half is placed in a stout bag to form the assay sample that is forwarded securely to the independent analytical lab. The remaining half core is stored on site where it is available for further examination and sampling. The assay cores are subject to a Chain of Custody routine as they are shipped from camp to a bonded carrier for delivery to the lab.All core samples are prepared and analyzed at AGAT Laboratories in Calgary, an independent ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 certified facility. Samples are dried, crushed to 70% passing 2 mm, split to obtain a 250 g representative portion, and pulverized to 85% passing 75 µm. Gold, platinum, and palladium are assayed by 30-50 g fire assay with ICP-OES finish. Multi-element analyses (up to 48 elements) are performed by four-acid digestion with ICP-OES/MS, with ore-grade assays applied where required. Selected samples are further analyzed for whole-rock oxides using lithium borate fusion with ICP-OES, and Loss on Ignition is determined separately.

Increasing the number of branches, developing new financial products, expediting its loan portfolio expansion: Turbo's aim is to become a leading retail financial services provider.BANGKOK, Oct 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Ngernturbo PCL (TURBO), a retail financial service provider, is set to drive its growth following the Company’s first day of trading on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET: TURBO). TURBO highlights the exponential growth in its loan portfolio, surmounting all economic hurdles for profitability exceeding the industry average. The Company is also determined to expand its branch network to at least 1,457 locations by 2029, in parallel with the development of new financial products and services. This plan is expected to further enhance the Company’s overall loan portfolio and contribute to continued growth. The objective for TURBO is to become a leading national retail financial service provider.Mr. Sutach Ruangsuttipap, CEO of TURBO, remarked, "While the Company's shares began trading on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) on Sept 30, in the FIN (Financial & Securities) Sector, and the FINCIAL (Financial) industry group under the symbol 'TURBO', the listing follows a successful IPO (initial public offering) of 537 million shares at 1.50 baht per share, which attracted overwhelming interest from both institutional and retail investors. This success reflects confidence in TURBO's business operations and growth potential, which will make us one of the most sought-after stocks upon listing."Following the SET listing, TURBO aims to build on its success, becoming a leading national retail financial service provider, and achieving strong growth through several key strategies. 1. Building the brand as the No.1 choice for customers, with the emphasis on speed, convenience, and quality of service to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction and word-of-mouth referrals. 2. Developing the Company’s IT systems. TURBO maintains a strategy of building on its in-house technology team which can quickly develop specific IT systems most suitable for the organization. The Company prioritizes the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance efficiency in every work process. 3. Enhancing customer convenience by expanding branch coverage nationwide, with the aim of establishing no less than 1,475 branches by the year 2029. The plan is to develop better access to comprehensive financial products to ensure more extensive coverage. 4. Developing a diverse range of products to meet the differentiated needs of customers, such as increasing the types of loan collateral, expanding insurance product lines, and increasing the number of insurance partners, etc.“I am confident that after our listing on the SET, TURBO will achieve stronger growth and generate more sustainable returns for shareholders, driven by customer-centric financial services, customer satisfaction, word-of-mouth referrals, together with the use of specially developed IT systems. All these processes will help to ensure that TURBO will be able to quickly adapt to any situation and maintain low operating costs in the long term,” Mr. Sutach added.In 2023 and 2024 fiscal years, the Group's total revenues were 2,430.7 million baht and 3,033.2 million baht. That translated into a 24.8% increase, with net profits of 131.7 million baht and 141.6 million baht, a 7.5% annual increase.For the first six months (January - June) of 2025, combined revenue reached 1,517.6 million baht, a 3.7% increase, and net profit was 235.9 million baht, or a 285.8% increase compared to the previous year. As of June 30, 2025, the net interest margin was 19.8%, higher than the industry average(1) of 15.1%. Moreover, the net income after deducting expected credit losses to net loan receivables averaged 21.8%, higher than the industry average of 18.0%.Mr. Paiboon Nalinthrangkurn, CEO of TISCO Securities Co Ltd, the lead-underwriter, and representative of TISCO Bank PCL, stated that TURBO has high growth potential, driven by the non-financial institutional retail loan market scenario, which has grown significantly from 220 billion baht in 2018 to 630 billion baht in Q1 2025. This is equivalent to an compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6%, higher than the commercial bank personal loan market which grew from 170 billion baht to 220 billion baht during the same period, or a CAGR of 4.5%. This reflects the continued growth in demand for retail loans from middle- to low-income customers who have limited or no access to commercial financial services, and make up a large segment of the population.Positive factors across the industry are also driving TURBO’s growth in interest from loans, its core business, to annual returns of 40.8% from 2022 to 2024, while the Group’s revenue from insurance brokerage and life insurance brokerage grew 54.3% annually from 2020 to 2024. The Company’s strong foundation and solid long-erm growth potential will enable TURBO to become a quality stocks in the Thai capital market.Mr. Pongsak Phrukpaisal, Managing Director of Kasikorn Securities PCL, the lead-underwriter, said he was confident that TURBO would be a growth stock that generates returns for investors. This is attributable to the Company’s quick and convenient services, customer empathy, and the team comprised of new generation of professionals with expertise in finance and digital technology. The Company utilizes technology to drive the organization in every process for efficient operations, resulting in impressive results and a high 20.7% word-of-mouth referral rate among customers. This led to exponential growth in the loan portfolio of 31.5% per year between 2020 and Q2 2025. Furthermore, the Company has the opportunity to expand its loan portfolio significantly despite being a relatively new operator with an average branch age of only 4.1 years.(1) A group of 5 SET-listed industry operators.Press release by MT Multimedia Co Ltd for Ngernturbo PCL.For more information: Pipop 'Top', MT MultimediaT: +66 81 929 8864, E: pipop.k@mtmultimedia.comNgernturbo PCL (SET: TURBO, SET-R:TURBO, SET/F:TURBO), https://www.turbo.co.th.

Duration: September 30, 2025 – March 8, 2026 (Closed on Mondays, except for public holidays)Venue: Shanghai Museum (People’s Square)HONG KONG, Sep 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Star Plus Legend Holdings Limited (“Star Plus Legend” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiary, the “Group”, stock code: 6683.HK), announced that on the afternoon of September 29th, the themed art show “The Remarkable Ancestors — CHOUCHOU’s Time Travel Adventure” opens at the Shanghai Museum (People’s Square) to align with the 36th Shanghai Tourism Festival. The event is guided by the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism, hosted by the Shanghai Museum and Star Plus Legend, and co-organized by Shanghai JUCE Culture and Media Co.,Ltd., with renowned lyricist Vincent Fang invited as the cultural creative consultant.The art show centers on “CHOUCHOU”, a nijigen-style personality of Mr. Jay Chou, as the narrative thread, blending digital technology with contemporary art. By integrating twelve treasured artifacts from the Shanghai Museum’s collection with modern technologies such as AI lighting, holographic projections, robotic interactions, and NFC digital card draws, the exhibition creates an immersive cultural experience where tradition meets modernity, and the past resonates with the future. This marks the Shanghai Museum’s first innovative attempt to merge traditional culture with contemporary art trends. Chu Xiaobo, a member of the Party Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism and Director of the Shanghai Museum, stated, “The jade, bronze ware, blue and white porcelain, and famille rose porcelain lying dormant in the museum are not only markers of civilization but also embody the wisdom and warmth of our ancestors. This time, we are engaging with them in a younger, more vibrant way — allowing the treasures of the Shanghai Museum to engage in a cross-temporal dialogue with CHOUCHOU’s trendy imagination. This collaboration aims to humbly learn from our ancestors while using creative trends to write new chapters for tradition, marking an innovative practice.” Vincent Fang, Chief Cultural Officer of Star Plus Legend and cultural creative consultant for the art show, shared his insights: “From the misty elegance of Blue and White Porcelain to the classical imagery of Hair White as Snow, we have always strived to do one thing: bottle the ‘charm’ of traditional culture in the vessel of pop culture. This themed art show perfectly echoes our decades-long exploration in music creation — how to make tradition and trends not just additive but create a magical chemical reaction, achieving a deep fusion of ‘ancient essence’ and ‘new expression.'”Ma Hsin-Ting, Chairperson, Founder, and Executive Director of Star Plus Legend, remarked, “Through the ‘CHOUCHOU’ IP, we aim to build a bridge — bringing museum artifacts to the younger generation in an innovative way while sparking their curiosity to explore museums. Our collaboration with the Shanghai Museum is not merely a trendy event; it represents how, through dialogue with national treasures, ‘CHOUCHOU’ transforms from a trendy IP into a cultural communicator. Through spatial aesthetics and digital art expressions, it helps young people more intuitively understand the wisdom of our ancestors and reflect their aspirations for a beautiful life. This represents a dual ‘elevation’ and ‘breakout’ for the IP’s cultural depth and audience reach.” At the afternoon press conference, Zhou Peimin, Chief Operating Officer of Star Plus Legend, added, “CHOUCHOU carries the nostalgic memories of many people, but we hope it goes beyond nostalgia to become a bridge connecting tradition with the future, and the East with the world.”At the opening ceremony, Chu Xiaobo, Member of the Party Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism and Director of the Shanghai Museum; Cheng Meihong, First-Level Inspector of the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism; Tang Shifen, Director of Management Committee of the Shanghai Museum; Ma Hsin-Ting, Chairperson, Founder, and Executive Director of Star Plus Legend; Vincent Fang, Chief Cultural Officer of Star Plus Legend and Cultural Creative Consultant for the art show; and Hu Zhe, Chairman of Shanghai JUCE Culture and Media Co.,Ltd., jointly inaugurated the art show.In the art show, visitors follow CHOUCHOU’s time machine through a “space-time tunnel” of light and shadow. In the “Jade Meeting the Future” section, audiences explore reverence for heaven and earth through ancient jade rituals. The “Bronze Spanning Generations” section transports viewers to the Shang and Zhou dynasties over 3,000 years ago, showcasing the peak of bronze craftsmanship. In the “Blue-and-white Martial Arts Hall” the cultural significance of blue-and-white porcelain, which traveled across oceans, comes to life. The “Pastel Romance” section reflects our ancestors’ aspirations for a beautiful life. The art show also features a “Trendy Code” printmaking zone, a “J-Style Trip Immersive Space,” a “Carnival Fantasy Island,” and a “Carousel” themed cultural and creative merchandise area, inviting visitors to explore. Traditional Culture Meets Trendy Art: Breathing New Life into Ancient StoriesThe Shanghai Museum has long been committed to “bringing cultural relics to life.” Its latest collaboration with CHOUCHOU, an IP that represents youth, trendiness, and the future, is a bold and innovative attempt. This art show is not merely a listing of cultural relics and IP; it truly allows them to“speak”. For example, the Jade Deity from more than 4,000 years ago is transformed through a trendy reinterpretation into a giant holographic CHOUCHOU wearing a futuristic crown, showcasing the beauty of Chinese jade in the “Jade Meeting the Future” archaeological-concept exhibition area. Elements of the Da Ke Ding are integrated into armor design; in the “Bronze Spanning Generations” zone, the Bronze Guardian CHOUCHOU will guard the cultural treasures of our ancestors. Ancient coin patterns inspire the creation of 10,000 digital art collectible cards, linking the beautiful expectations of abundance in life across past, present, and future. In the “Blue-and-white Martial Arts Hall” visitors can admire precious blue-and-white porcelains from the Shanghai Museum’ collection, including the Jingdezhen kiln Blue-and-White Lotus-Scroll Double-Ear Vase and the Blue-and-White Camellia Flat Flask . A kung fu robot painted with blue-and-white porcelain patterns will take the stage, performing agile martial arts and blending intangible craftsmanship with technological vitality. The “Pastel Romance” section combines pinkcolor beloved by Jay Chou, with treasures from the Qianlong reign period of the Qing dynasty, such as the Jingdezhen Porcelain Powdered Color Baby Play Bottle and the Powdered Color Lotus Pattern Covered Bowl , allowing visitors to travel through time and experience the charm of famille rose romance.Drawing Inspiration from Ancient Culture as the Source of ArtThemed “The Remarkable Ancestors”, the art show cleverly pairs 12 treasured artifacts from the Shanghai Museum’s collection with CHOUCHOU, a cultural symbol embodying the collective memories of the post-1980s and post-1990s generations. This collaboration creates a dialogue that spans time and space, exploring a pressing question of our era: In the digital age, how can ancient cultural relics enter contemporary life with a fresh and cutting-edge presence' How can popular culture draw nourishment from profound tradition to achieve deeper meaning' Here, the Shanghai Museum’s collections serve as living entities full of stories. Artistic inspiration is drawn from these relics and, through the CHOUCHOU IP, transformed into emotional values that resonate with young people, making culture tangible, perceptible, and shareable.On the first floor of the People’s Square building, visitors can also enjoy a cultural restoration VR experience. Using the CHOUCHOU IP as an emotional link, the VR zone employs XR technology to create an immersive cultural adventure that integrates music, cultural relics, technology, and storytelling. Visitors take on the role of relic restorers, traveling through the world of artifacts to collect three cultural energies: “Craftsmanship,” “Inner-Outer Cultivation,” and “Harmony Between Heaven and Humanity” — all to rescue CHOUCHOU. Along the journey, visitors can recreate the artistry of blue-and-white porcelain in a ceramic workshop, master the balance of strength and softness in an ancient martial arena, and explore the mysteries of jade in a grand palace.Encouraging Young Visitors and Making the Museum a Trendy DestinationThe theme “The Remarkable Ancestors” pays tribute to the forebears who created a brilliant civilization, while also expressing continuity—the idea that civilization can truly “live” only when it is constantly retold, reinterpreted, and embraced. The best inheritance is to let the past become the foundation for the future. The Shanghai Museum hopes that through this initiative, it can attract diverse audiences to return repeatedly, helping more young people realize that traditional culture is never boring; it is full of charm, inspiration, and fun. The museum itself can be trendy, youthful, and approachable. Every visitor entering this time-space encounter is invited to discover a unique blend of cultural confidence and modern creativity.The themed art show is a ticketed experience and is now open for sales. Ticket options include: Standard Ticket (RMB 88), Weekday Ticket (RMB 68), Concession Ticket (RMB 44), VR Experience Ticket (RMB 68), and Combo Ticket (RMB 128, which includes both the art show and VR experience).The art show offers the following ticket discounts:Concession Tickets are available to: seniors aged 60 and above, minors aged 6 to 18, full-time students enrolled in undergraduate programs or below, and active-duty military personnel and their families, police officers, families of martyrs and servicemen, and firefighters holding valid identification.Free Admission is offered to: children aged 6 and under and visitors with disabilities holding valid identification. Each paying adult may bring up to two children aged 6 and under free of charge.Tickets can be purchased through the Shanghai Museum’s official WeChat mini-program “Shanghai Museum Visit Reservation” as well as on the Ctrip app. Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

The Group will also pursue revenue diversification by increasing fee-generating transactions and expanding its insurance intermediary businesses.To enhance operational efficiency, the Group plans to accelerate the implementation of Artificial Intelligence tools into back-office operations automating routine tasks such as data processing and credit risk analysis to reduce operational costs and improve accuracy. Credit assessment and portfolio management will be enhanced through an upgraded risk-based methodology designed to identify high-quality customers for additional credit. Advanced models are expected to improve fraud detection and predictive analytics for credit assessments, enabling faster decision-making and optimised resource allocation.Within the AEON Ecosystem, the Group has commenced One AEON project to create an integrated bonus point platform for reward accumulation and redemption.

SINGAPORE, Sept 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The future arrived today in Singapore as the World Quantum Summit 2025 (WQS) — themed “Quantum Unboxed: Extending the Reach of AI” — concluded at the Sheraton Towers Singapore with a full house attendance filling the ballroom to capacity. The overwhelming turnoutunderscored the growing global appetite for practical quantum solutions that extend the power of artificial intelligence and accelerate its real-world impact.This year’s summit was not a standalone event but the culmination of a three-day intensive journey into the future of computing and intelligence. On 23–24 September, participants took part in a sold-out Executive Workshop on Quantum and AI, which built foundational understanding of quantum principles, emerging architectures, and integration strategies. The final day brought it all together, showcasing how those concepts are now being deployed in industry — from real-world applications to large-scale investment strategies.Unlike traditional conferences focused solely on research or theory, WQS 2025 brought together the entire ecosystem driving quantum innovation forward. The summit featured practitioners representing different quantum approaches, policy makers, venture investors, academics, corporates, researchers, and ecosystem partners — all converging under one roof to chart the path from lab breakthroughs to industry-scale adoption. On the exhibition floor, leading players such as ST Engineering, QBoson, and TM Research & Development showcased quantum - enhanced solutions in optimisation, secure computing, and AI acceleration. Meanwhile, Gold Capital Network Partners — IMGT and IWC Management — hosted curated sessions connecting founders and investors to accelerate funding into quantum ventures poised for growth.A key highlight was the line-up of 19 world-class speakers, each offering cutting-edge insights into how quantum is transforming the AI landscape. Among them were Assoc. Prof. Mile Gu, Deputy Director of the Nanyang Quantum Hub at Nanyang Technological University; Jeremy Woo, Senior Technical Advisor at D-Wave System; Deepak Waghmare, CTO (APJC) of Dell Technologies; Ujjwal Kumar, Principal Architect, Office of the CTO at Microsoft Asia; Dr. Simon See, Senior Director and Global Head of the NVIDIA AI Technology Center; Bruno Aznar Martinez, R&D Software Developer at Keysight Technologies; Raghunath Koduvayur, CEO of RAQS Quantum; Gao Qi, Algorithm Director at QBoson; Ken Chew, CEO and Partner of IWC Management; and Tony Gu, General Partner at NGC Ventures.

Hong Kong Department of Health accepts NDA for dorzagliatin, the world’s first approved glucokinase activator (GKA).Builds on China approval and strong Phase III and real-world clinical results showing durable glucose control and safety.Positions Hong Kong as a strategic gateway for Hua Medicine’s global expansion into Southeast Asia and beyond.SHANGHAI, Sept 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hua Medicine (“the Company”, HKEX: 2552) announced that the Department of Health of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China accepted a New Drug Application (NDA) for dorzagliatin, the world’s first glucokinase activator (GKA) approved for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes (T2D).The acceptance of the NDA marks an important milestone in Hua Medicine’s strategy to expand beyond China, bringing its innovative, disease-modifying treatment to more patients across Asia and ultimately to global markets.With more than half a million people living with diabetes in Hong Kong and nearly 240 million across Asia, the NDA represents a significant step toward addressing one of the region’s most urgent health challenges.A first-in-class therapy with global potentialDorzagliatin was approved for marketing by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in September 2022 for two indications, both to improve blood glucose control for T2D patients, 1) It can be used as mono-treatment for drug-naïve T2D patients, as first-line treatment, 2) When metformin hydrochloride alone has poor blood glucose control, it can be used in combination with metformin hydrochloride. Unlike conventional drugs that manage symptoms, dorzagliatin targets the root cause of blood sugar dysregulation by repairing the function of glucokinase (GK), the body’s glucose sensor. By restoring glucose sensitivity, dorzagliatin helps maintain blood sugar balance and supports long-term disease management.Results from two Phase III registration trials in China demonstrated that dorzagliatin significantly and sustainably lowered HbA1c levels, improved pancreatic β-cell function, and reduced insulin resistance, all while showing strong safety and tolerability. Findings are being further validated in ongoing real-world studies, of which some interim analysis and data were presented at the 2025 American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Sessions.Strategic gateway to new marketsHong Kong has established a comprehensive, community-based system for diabetes management and serves as a medical and financial hub for the region. Research findings from the Hong Kong Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute at The Chinese University of Hong Kong indicate that the implementation of a community-based public-private collaboration model for diabetes management provided significant benefits to the community. The advanced experience in Hong Kong is of great significance for improving the quality of life of diabetes patients, controlling the progression of the disease, and reducing the burden on the healthcare system. Once approved in Hong Kong, it will also provide clinical application of dorzagliation for the personalized management of diabetes.According to Hong Kong's former new drug approval mechanism, applicants were required to submit to the authority new drug registration certificates issued by the drug regulatory agencies of two or more recognized countries, as well as other specified relevant documents, in order to support the approval and marketing of the product. Under the newly established "1+" mechanism, after meeting requirements such as local clinical data support and having the applicable scope of the new drug endorsed by local experts, an applicant only needs to submit the approval from one (instead of the original two) reference drug regulatory authority to apply for registration of the new drug in Hong Kong. This mechanism initially applied to new drugs for the treatment of serious or rare diseases, and has been extended to all new drugs since 2024.Under the leadership of Ms. Beili Cao, Vice President of Department of Corporate Operation and Great Bay Development, Hua Medicine has conducted sufficient and in-depth communications with local clinical experts and regulatory authorities in Hong Kong, and became an early pioneer of this mechanism. The Company filed its application for registration of dorzagliatin in Hong Kong at the end of July, and the application was officially accepted by the end of September.Dr. Li Chen, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Hua Medicine, said: “Acceptance of dorzagliatin’s NDA in Hong Kong is not only recognition of its clinical value but also a pivotal step in Hua Medicine’s international journey. Hong Kong’s unique position as a regional healthcare leader and financial hub makes it the ideal gateway for expanding dorzagliatin’s reach into Southeast Asia and beyond. We are committed to working with local doctors and partners in Hong Kong to explore dorzagliatin’s potential in both treatment and prevention of prediabetes and early-stage diabetes, ensuring more patients worldwide can benefit from this breakthrough therapy.”Dorzagliatin: A transformative T2D treatmentDorzagliatin was approved in September 2022 in China, and it was included in the country’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) as of January 1, 2024.Dorzagliatin can be used alone as a first-line therapy for newly diagnosed patients, or together with metformin when blood sugar control is inadequate. Unlike many other approved oral antidiabetes drugs, no dose adjustment is required for patients with kidney impairment. It works by repairing the body’s glucose sensor, glucokinase (GK), restoring glucose sensitivity and long-term blood sugar balance. It acts across key organs—stimulating insulin secretion in the pancreas, boosting GLP-1 secretion in the gut, and regulating glycogen in the liver. This multi-target approach addresses the root cause of Type 2 diabetes, not just its symptoms.The NDA application in Hong Kong is based on the results of two Phase III registration clinical studies conducted in China evaluating the use of dorzagliatin monotherapy and in combination with metformin for the treatment of patients with Type 2 diabetes. Two studies have shown that for two categories of T2D patients—those newly diagnosed and not yet on medication, and those who have failed to respond adequately to metformin therapy— dorzagliatin can sustainably and effectively lower patients' HbA1c levels by repairing defects in the glucose sensor function of GK, significantly reduce postprandial two-hour blood glucose levels (2h-PPG), achieve high glycemic control rates without hypoglycemia, demonstrate good safety and tolerability, and continuously improve β-cell function and reduce insulin resistance.Forward-Looking StatementsThis document contains statements regarding Hua Medicine’s future expectations, plans, and prospects for the Company and its products.

TOKYO, Sep 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Quantum Solutions Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Stock Exchange Code: 2338.T, “Quantum”) announced its strategic financing initiative on September 26 to issue 44 million shares to a blue-chip investor mix of three heavyweight institutions, providing the necessary permanent capital and network access to position Quantum as a potential frontrunner in the world of Ethereum (ETH) listed strategies and a showcase standout in the Tokyo stock market.For Japanese investors, this represents another significant commitment by leading US capital, following Warren Buffett’s investment in Japan’s five major trading companies. For international investors, it signals that Tokyo’s stock market is an increasingly attractive destination for global capital, welcoming new opportunities for “smart money”.Dream Team of Global Capital Aligns for Quantum, International Demand for Japanese Equities Continues to GrowQuantum’s investor line-up is a market stunner in the emerging field of crypto-linked equities. Susquehanna International Group (SIG), investing via CVI Investments, holds the capital firepower to accelerate Quantum’s ETH accumulation and expand its balance sheet for upcoming fundraising rounds. With a portfolio that includes early investments in ByteDance and Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), SIG is a Tokyo Stock Exchange participant, offering the robust capital infrastructure that analysts consider essential for a successful Digital Asset Treasury (DAT).Cathie Wood affirms her position as the world’s leading investor in crypto-linked equities with ARK Invest’s first direct foray into APAC-listed opportunities. In the US market, ARK has a track record for identifying category leaders such as ETH Treasury Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE: BMNR) and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN). By adding Quantum, Wood extends her expertise to the Tokyo market, bringing visibility to Quantum in front of the global investing audience as the region’s most promising ETH Treasury initiative.The third participant is Hong Kong-based Integrated Asset Management (IAM), led by Mr. TC Yam. As the majority shareholder of Forbes Media, IAM’s cross-sector presence in international finance and media resources bolsters Quantum’s capital depth and reputational standing. Like ARK, IAM makes its first public investment in the Tokyo stock market, signaling growing confidence among global institutional investors in Japan's equity market.The fundraise utilizes convertible bonds and both floating and fixed strike price warrants for a total issuance of approximately 44 million shares, nearly doubling the company’s existing share capital. None of the instruments are priced at a discount, a rarity for DAT fundraises, suggesting that the incoming investors are targeting long-term growth prospects. As of market closing on September 26, the nominal value of the financing round comes to over JPY 26 billion (approx. USD 180 million), with the first tranche valued at JPY 22.1 billion (approx. USD 150 million).First ETH Treasury in Japan — A Differentiated Strategy Offering Long-Term Returns on EquityAccording to research reports by leading investment banks, the key determinants of success for listed Digital Asset strategies are robust access to capital and a team with operational blockchain expertise. Through this fundraising initiative, Quantum taps into fresh sources of capital and aligns with investors of strong reputation, prompting market expectations of long-term backing.Quantum CEO Francis B. Zhou is no newcomer to the Digital Asset industry, as one of the first institutional investors and operators in the blockchain space. In 2018, Zhou acquired the world’s second largest ETH mining facility, based in Jokkmokk, Sweden. Zhou maintains investments in early stage blockchain projects alongside film and IP holdings in his venture investment portfolio, and brings a network of experienced blockchain operators, including Head of Crypto Strategy Donny Chi.Proceeds from Quantum’s financing initiative will be used to accumulate ETH. Although BTC has demonstrated adoption as a store-of-value, ETH is the foundational asset for blockchain applications, enabling companies like Quantum to explore attractive yield-generating opportunities to drive a blend of organic and inorganic growth for the company’s core treasury and balance sheet.The appeal of yield-bearing strategies is supported by data from the US market, which indicates that listed ETH Treasuries trade at a price-to-book multiple of 7.72x, more than 3 times higher than that of listed BTC Treasuries. More remarkably, the price-to-book of ETH Treasuries is trending upwards, increasing by over 20% within the trading month of September, demonstrating that the market expectations continue to strengthen for listed ETH Treasuries as it relates to long-term returns on equity.Zhou and the Quantum Solutions team have a history of exploring growth frontiers, consequently developing industry traction in AI computing, GPU hosting, and IP gaming. This positions the company to pursue unique opportunities beyond overcrowded sectors in Real World Asset (RWA) space to potentially generate more attractive returns.With the fundraise, Quantum’s notional price-to-book multiple is estimated to be less than 30% of the market median. Assuming that the company can reach its fair value, the structure of the fundraise allows the company to rapidly accelerate its capital accumulation to reach the target of 100,000 ETH within the near term, positioning Quantum among the leading ETH Treasury companies globally.Growth Driven Policies in Japan Encourage Prospects for Long-Term Shareholder ValueConsistent government support for the blockchain industry and increasing clarity in regulations are ushering in a more investor-friendly market for Digital Assets in Japan. Whereas the US market already has ETH Treasury companies such as Bitmine (NASDAQ: BMNR) and SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET) achieving significant market cap growth as capital market highlights, Japan lacks a similar listed benchmark. Quantum Solutions’ entry fills this gap, opening a new chapter as "Japan’s first”, and creating conditions for capital inflow and renewed market participation.This financing round, nominally valued at approximately USD 180 million, is a landmark in both the Japanese stock market as well as the crypto-linked equities space. Through the combined endorsement of SIG, ARK, and IAM, Quantum not only secures funding but also international validation under a capital structure optimized to maximize long-term shareholder value. High-profile deals of this caliber further Tokyo as an emerging destination for savvy investors. Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com
