BOYERTOWN, Pa., Sept 25, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Global Advanced Metals (GAM), a leading global producer of metallurgical products, is pleased to announce a new partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to re-establish defense-critical niobium oxide production. The project, supported by a $26.4 million award from the Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Prioritization directorate, leverages GAM's existing tantalum production in Boyertown, Pennsylvania.GAM LogoThe DOD's capital contribution will accelerate the development of the United States' first niobium oxide production in over 30 years. Niobium oxide is a precursor to high-purity superalloys in advanced aircraft, rocket systems, and various other defense platforms. GAM's public-private partnership forms a key component of the DOD's ongoing efforts to solidify the U.S. aerospace and defense industrial base."GAM is proud to contribute to strengthening U.S. and allied capability by mitigating supply vulnerabilities previously exploitable by our adversaries," said GAM's CEO, Andrew O'Donovan. "Every opportunity to decrease adversarial influence over defense supply chains should be taken, and we are delighted that the DOD chose to support GAM in this endeavor.""Pennsylvania has built and powered our Nation for generations, so it's no surprise that workers in Berks County will soon produce critical minerals to make the aircraft, rocket systems, and other equipment our military needs to ensure our national security," said U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA). "I advocated for our Commonwealth to tackle this critical mineral risk so that we can continue the proud tradition of supporting our warfighters and the Department of Defense as a whole.""As a former chemistry teacher and Air Force officer, I've been championing efforts on critical mineral supply chains and the importance of bringing related manufacturing back to the U.S. since I first arrived in Congress," said U.S. Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). "So when I visited Global Advanced Metals (GAM) in Berks County last year, I was in awe of their state-of-the-art operations - I knew GAM and companies like them have the blueprint we need to reduce reliance on countries like China for critical minerals. I'm so thrilled to hear GAM is receiving a $26.4 million award for niobium processing and manufacturing of defense-critical materials! With this federal investment, more jobs in our community will be created and our national security will be strengthened."About GAMA leading conflict-free tantalum producer, GAM has exclusive rights to the world's largest industrial resources of tantalum ore located in Western Australia.GAM produces conflict-free tantalum powders and metallurgical products at its Pennsylvania, USA and Aizu, Japan plants for a range of industries including electronics, aerospace, automotive, medical and chemical processing.GAM's smelting facilities in Japan and the USA were first declared "Conflict-Free" in 2010 under the former EICC/GeSI Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) audit program and continue to maintain their conformance to the current Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) standard.Contact InformationKurt HabeckerSr. Marketing Managerkhabecker@globaladvancedmetals.com1 610-369-8220SOURCE: Global Advanced Metals Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

QUAKERTOWN, PA, Sept 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At the start of 2024, DEXIS introduced its digital ecosystem, a suite of tools and software designed to connect and streamline the implant workflow from diagnosis to delivery.Today, DEXIS announced upgrades across the ecosystem to aid clinicians in important workflow elements from visualizing progressive dental issues to designing chairside surgical guides."Our technology makes it easy to organize information and execute treatments, which is at the core of what clinicians expect from us," said DEXIS President, Robert Befidi. "We are connecting and standardizing the implant workflow while also constantly evaluating our efforts to ensure we provide deeper patient insights and flexible, intuitive solutions that reduce complexity. These three launches are a good example of our focus on continuous innovation across the ecosystem to deliver diagnostic confidence, productivity, and smart simplicity."A brand-new X-ray platform is now available, designed specifically for general practitioners looking to expand their diagnostic capabilities with 3D imaging. Developed and produced in Tuusula, Finland, the ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D™ EX captures consistently accurate images through a straightforward, easy-to-learn workflow. The unit has a wide range of field of view sizes to support multiple clinical indications, including implant placement, endodontics, periodontics, and analysis for airway and TMJ. Early adopters of the OP 3D EX have reported positive feedback:"When choosing a CBCT, the key factors for me were a large sensor, predictable acquisition, stellar image quality and intuitive software that wouldn't interrupt my workflow," says Dr. Tyler Tolbert of Smile Now Dental Group. "Once the OP 3D EX got here and we started taking some scans, I thought to myself, ‘We really made the right choice here!'"In addition to new hardware, a brand-new software release will provide advanced tools to plan and execute same-day, prosthetically driven implants.Serving as the unifying software and central hub of the ecosystem, DTX Studio™ Clinic stores and manages all patient data as well as helps clinicians execute each step of the implant process from diagnostics to delivery.The software's new functionality allows practitioners to plan an implant treatment and generate a surgical guide chairside - all in less than three minutes. Clinicians can virtually extract teeth, adjust photorealistic abutments and crowns, and create an automated surgical guide that can be sent to a lab or produced in-house for same-day delivery."We were able to implement the OP 3D EX quickly and start taking scans largely due to the included DTX Studio Clinic software," said Dr. Nicholas Varney of Varney Dental. "Once we got going, we found that so much of the work involved in prepping a 3D scan for confident diagnosis was done by the software automatically. DTX Studio Clinic has improved how we work in all aspects - communicating with patients, implant planning and even treatment team collaboration."In addition to 3D imaging enhancements, an intraoral scanning software update offers scan quality and usability improvements as well as clear visualizations of progressive dental issues over time, through a new tool called Oral Compare. Additionally, the software's new integration with SmileFy allows for the ability to simulate treatment outcomes chairside, giving patients further confidence in proposed treatment plans.To learn more about DEXIS and the latest implant workflow upgrades, visit https://www.dexis.com.About DEXISDEXIS is the global leader in dental imaging.

SHENZHEN, Sept 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group” or “CMS”) is pleased to announce that on September 24, 2024, the New Drug Application (NDA) for vitiligo indication of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (the “ruxolitinib cream” or the “Product”) has been accepted by the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA). This is another substantial milestone for ruxolitinib cream in China, following the approval for Urgent Clinical Import by Hainan Medical Products Administration and approval for marketing in Macau for vitiligo, and it is also a key step in benefiting over ten million of patients with vitiligo in China.Ruxolitinib cream achieved positive results in Chinese Real-World Study. The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients in the treatment group who achieved F-VASI 75 response at week 24, which was 49.5%, significantly higher than the target value of 14.1% (p<0.0001). The study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating that ruxolitinib cream is effective in treating patients with nonsegmental vitiligo, reducing the area of the lesions, and repigmenting the skin. All secondary efficacy endpoints showed a trend of benefit consistent with the primary efficacy endpoint, and the treatment effect for vitiligo continued to improve with longer treatment duration. Adverse events mostly had severity levels of grade 1 or 2. No adverse event (AE) leading to discontinuation or withdrawal, and no serious adverse event (SAE) related to the study drug occurred.While advancing the process of NDA for the Product, the Group is conducting the transfer of ruxolitinib cream from overseas production to domestic production (localization technology transfer), which is being orderly promoted by the Contract Development Manufacturing Outsourcing Organization (CDMO), and the lab-scale and pilot trial studies have been completed and under scale-up production. The Group strives to complete the localization study as soon as possible, register in Mainland China and obtain marketing approval, so as to enable the Chinese patients with vitiligo to use the innovative product.Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of the skin, which results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is estimated that there are approximately 14 million vitiligo patients in China[1]. Non-segmental vitiligo patients account for approximately 85% of them. Topical corticosteroids (TCS) and calcineurin inhibitors (CI) are used off-label for non-segmental vitiligo, however, these therapies have clinical deficiencies with long-term adverse reactions of long-term treatment or limited efficacy[2,3]. If the Product being successfully approved for marketing in China, it will be the first prescription drug approved for repigmentaton in vitiligo in Mainland China, bringing novel treatment hopes for Chinese vitiligo patients.CMS has always adhered to its mission of providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs. Guided by innovation strategy, the Group continuously strengthens its independent R&D as well as external collaboration, enriching its product pipelines. Looking ahead, CMS will continue to identify products with differentiated advantages globally and efficiently promote their clinical development and commercialization, bringing more novel and effective drugs to patients.About ruxolitinib creamRuxolitinib cream, (Opzelura), a novel cream formulation of Incyte’s selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, is approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the topical treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo in patients 12 years of age and older, and is the first and only treatment for repigmentation approved for use in the United States[4]. Ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura) is also approved in the U.S. for the topical short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in non-immunocompromised patients 12 years of age and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies, or when those therapies are not advisable[5]. In Europe, ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura) is approved for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age[6].The Product is not approved by the NMPA for any indication in Mainland China. However, on 12 August 2023, the Product was approved by Hainan Medical Products Administration for Urgent Clinical Import, and officially became available to applicable patients in the Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (the “Pilot Zone”) on August 18, for the topical treatment of non-segmental vitiligo in adults and adolescents aged 12 and above with facial involvement. Benefiting from the Early and Pilot Implementation Policy granted by the state to Hainan Free Trade Port and the Pilot Zone, patients with vitiligo in China can apply for the Product in Boao Super Hospital first and receive treatment from the expert team. In addition, ruxolitinib cream was approved by the Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau (ISAF) of Macau on 11 April 2024 for the topical treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adult and adolescents form 12 years of age.On 2 December 2022, the Group through a subsidiary of the Company, a dermatology medical aesthetic company (“CMS Skinhealth”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Incyte for topical formulations of ruxolitinib for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory dermatology diseases. In accordance with the  License Agreement, the Group through CMS Skinhealth received an exclusive license to develop, register and commercialize the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and eleven Southeast Asian countries (Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, Timor-Leste and Brunei Darussalam) (the “Territory”) and a non-exclusive license to manufacture the Product in the Territory. The License Agreement commenced on its effective date and has a royalty term of ten years from the date of the commercial sale of the Product in the Territory (the “Royalty Term”). Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term, the License Agreement may be renewed for a period of ten years thereafter (the “Initial Extended Royalty Term”) as per certain conditions defined in the License Agreement.

HONG KONG, Sept 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong traders remain optimistic about their prospects with a sustained period of moderate growth believed to be underway. This was the key finding of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) Export Confidence Index for the third quarter of 2024 as released today.The Index – a quarterly review of the views and expectations of Hong Kong-based traders across a broad cross-section of industry sectors – showed that, despite a slight decline compared to the second quarter, underlying sentiment remains broadly positive. In another welcome outcome, the majority of the sub-indices remained in expansionary territory, a clear indication of widespread anticipation of continued growth.Putting the overall findings into context, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “Hong Kong exporters remain resilient, despite the uncertainty stemming from lingering trade tensions. Indeed, the majority of respondents reported no – or only minimal – impact from the recent round of trade restrictions and higher tariffs.”Strong sales and new ordersLooking at the findings in greater detail, the overall Current Performance Index rose by 1 point to 52.6, a development seen as reflecting strong sales and new orders, rising unit prices and expanding procurement activities. This was underlined by concurrent rises in the relevant Sub-Indices – the Trade Value Sub-Index (56.2, +2.5) and Procurement Sub-Index (57.3, +3.3). Although the Sales & New Orders Sub-Index recorded a moderate 1.8-point drop, it stayed resolutely in expansionary territory at 55.7.The Expectation Index also remained in expansionary territory at 51.4 even after a 2.9-point dip. This decrease was driven mainly by the 8.5-point decline in the Trade Value Expectation Sub-Index (down to 51.7), with traders expecting unit prices to increase only moderately.The same traders, however, remained optimistic about the outlook for sales and new orders (with a Sales & New Orders Expectation Sub-Index reading of 54.6); and look set to continue to expand their procurement activities (Procurement Expectation Sub-Index: 55.4).Overall, the findings suggest that the immediate future will be characterised by moderate, sustained export growth.Cost pressures lessen, but remain major concernIt was also apparent that costs remained the major drag on exporter confidence in the third quarter. While both the Current and Expectation Cost Sub-Index showed some improvement, scores remained at about the 35 level, an indication that exporters are still facing strong cost pressures.In terms of Current Performance, exporters have seen increased Sales and New Orders across all their key markets. With regard to outlook (Expectation), exporters were most upbeat about the ASEAN bloc (59.7) and mainland China (58.4).By industry, the third quarter saw an improvement in Current Performance across all sectors. In terms of prospects for the near-term, Clothing exporters are the most optimistic at 61.2, followed by Toys (58.7) and Jewellery (56.4).Looking to the immediate future, Nicholas Fu, Senior Economist with HKTDC Research, said: “Exporters from five out of the six key sectors expect the current positive business momentum to continue. Overall, Clothing exporters were the most upbeat, followed by those in the Toys and Jewellery sectors. While it is noteworthy that cost pressures are expected to stay high across all sectors, there is some possibility of a slight improvement further down the line.”In addition to addressing the standard index criteria, the latest survey also focused on several specific thematic questions with regard to the primary challenges facing exporters and the favoured forward strategies of participants. Responses here showed that:- High and rising costs (transport, labour, production and capital) were seen as the most significant challenges.- In order to mitigate any related risks, Hong Kong exporters intend to adopt more cautionary business strategies.- Regarding the impact of recent trade restrictions and higher tariffs on certain China-origin exports, 60% of respondents reported no impact on their business to date, while 39% expect only a moderate downside.- On the sustainability front, however, fewer than 20% of respondents were familiar with the EU's newly enacted Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulations (ESPR), which is expected to have a broad impact across many industry sectors.Notes for EditorsThe HKTDC Export Confidence Index was introduced in the first quarter of 2024. It is a composite of five sub-indices – Sales and New Orders, Trade Value, Cost, Procurement and Inventory – and seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of Hong Kong exporter sentiment.There are two primary / overall indices, one of which gauges the Current Performance in the present quarter, while the other considers the Expectation for the upcoming quarter via a weighted average of the following five sub-indices:- Sales and New Orders: This is an indication of overall export performance as well as the level of new export orders received by respondents. This index is compiled based on respondents' feedback regarding the prospects of each of their major export markets.- Trade Value: This focuses on tracking the movement of unit export prices.- Cost: This tracks cost pressures as they relate to day-to-day operations, including raw material prices / labour and other operational costs/ financing requirements. Compared with the other indices, it is an inverted index, with an index reading above 50 indicating a downward trend for costs, while a reading below 50 indicates an upward trend for costs.- Procurement: This is a measure of the input-buying activity of Hong Kong traders.- Inventory: This tracks the overall inventory levels held by respondents for present use and the upcoming quarter. An index reading above 50 indicates a lower-than-normal inventory level, while a reading below 50 indicates a higher-than-normal inventory level.To view this press release in Chinese, please visit http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/tcReferences- HKTDC Research website: http://research.hktdc.com/- HKTDC Export Confidence Index 3Q24: Sustained Optimism Underpinned by Strong Sales and New Orders https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTgwNDk1NTM5OQPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4deCzLZHKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan (left) and Senior Economist Nicholas Fu (right) announced the HKTDC Export Confidence Index for the third quarter of 2024 at a press conference todayHKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Senior Economist Nicholas FuMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

MUNICH, GERMANY & TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, Sept 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Autobrains, a global leader in AI-powered automotive solutions, is pleased to unveil its latest innovation: Air2Road, a breakthrough localization technology developed to enhance the capabilities of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving solutions. Powered by Autobrains' Liquid AI Technology, Air2Road delivers precise, real-time vehicle localization for safe and efficient navigation, even in challenging conditions such as occlusions, adverse weather, and complex urban environments.Autobrains' Air2Road Localization TechnologyFusing aerial images with ground images for highly precise and reliable localization.As the automotive industry accelerates toward fully autonomous vehicles, reliable and accurate localization is crucial for determining both vehicle position and the driving environment. Traditional localization systems, heavily reliant on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or crowd-sourced maps, face significant challenges such as limited coverage, high costs, and susceptibility to interference. Additionally, these systems rely on a single source of sensor-based information, leading to frequent errors and over-reliance on one type of input during driving."Air2Road is a game-changer for autonomous driving technology," said Igal Raichelgauz, CEO and Founder of Autobrains. "By providing multimodal redundancy and unmatched precision, Air2Road pushes the boundaries of what's achievable in vehicle navigation and safety, ensuring autonomous systems operate reliably under even in the most challenging conditions."Air2Road sets a new standard for vehicle localization by combining Signatures derived from two independent modalities - aerial imagery and ground-based perception - ensuring multimodal redundancy and accuracy. These Signatures are sparse binary hyperdimensional representations of both the driving environment and objects within it. This innovative approach overcomes many of the limitations inherent in traditional systems. These include:Multimodal Redundancy: By creating a joint representation of Signatures from two independent modalities (aerial images and ground-based data), Air2Road enables an unprecedented advantage of multimodal redundancy. Other existing systems use a fleet of vehicles with similar ground-based data sources, which increases repetitive mistakes and dependency on a single source of information.Full coverage: Unlike GNSS-based systems, Air2Road, with its Signature-based technology, continues to function effectively even under trees, bridges, between buildings, and in any other scenario with bad reception of the GNSS signal.Aerial Perception: Aerial images generate additional data layers-such as road markings, traffic signs, and obstacles-enabling safer and more efficient driving decisions and a redundancy to real-time perception.Scalable and Efficient: Traditional localization systems, such as crowd-sourced maps, require a fleet of vehicles to repeatedly traverse roads for data harvesting and building the map before the localization service becomes available for any vehicle. In contrast, Air2Road, enables the first vehicle on the road to achieve precise localization instantly, ensuring scalable deployment across various regions without compromising accuracy.Cost-Effective: Air2Road is compatible with affordable aerial imagery from multiple vendors, and its compressed Signatures technology enables large areas to be stored directly on the vehicle. This allows for a low-memory, low-bandwidth system, eliminating the need for constant cloud connectivity.Environment-Aware Path Planning: By leveraging real-time data on road conditions, traffic flow, and parking areas, Air2Road supports safer, more optimized navigation.Inspired by the human brain's ability to process multisensory information, Air2Road replicates mechanisms such as situational awareness and attention focus to ensure accurate decision-making. By filtering out irrelevant data and focusing on critical elements like road edges and buildings, the system significantly improves localization precision.With its data-driven approach and revolutionary dual-modality technology, Air2Road is poised to redefine the future of localization, facilitating safer and more reliable autonomous driving solutions.For more information about Autobrains and its cutting-edge Liquid AI and ADAS solutions, please visit autobrains.ai.Contact InformationSophia EichlerDirector of Marketingmedia@autobrains.ai+49 15167066494SOURCE: Autobrains Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Highlights:An additional two (2) drill holes for approximately 1,188.1 metres (m) were completed during the Summer 2024 Drill Campaign and reported herein.Drill hole CS24-022 encountered 14 spodumene-pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 52.3 m.Drill hole CS24-023 encountered 15 spodumene-pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 188.6 m.Vancouver, BC, Sept 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Summer 2024 Drill Program at the Cisco Lithium Property (the "Property" or the "Cisco Property") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada.The Summer 2024 Drill Campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property has concluded with a total of five (5) drill holes for approximately 2,609.9 m completed. Since May 2024, the Company has drilled a total of 6,359.7 m over 17 holes. All drill holes intercepted pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified."To say it's been a very productive first drill season for Q2 Metals at our Cisco Lithium Property is an understatement," said Q2 Metals President and CEO Alicia Milne. "The property continues to deliver, and we are pleased with what we're seeing and are eagerly awaiting the results from the now 13 drills holes that are yet to be reported.""We have been incredibly fortunate to be able to have built as much value in an early-stage project in four months. We have just started on the Cisco Project and look forward to receiving the assays on the holes drilled as we continue to move forward with Cisco," said Q2 Metals VP of Exploration Neil McCallum.The Summer 2024 Drill Campaign was focused on exploring the connection of the wide, continuous pegmatite zones that were encountered in holes CS24-010, CS24-018 and CS24-021. The last two holes of the season continued to confirm and expand the understanding of the main pegmatite zone.The geological team has completed the core cutting and logging of the last two (2) drill holes (CS24-022 to 023) of the Summer 2024 Campaign and the samples have been dispatched to the SGS Canada preparation laboratory located in Val-d'Or, QC for mineral analysis to confirm the presence of lithium. The visual results of drill holes CS24-022 and CS24-023 are herein reported.Summer 2024 Drilling UpdateFigure 1. Map of Drilling area, Cisco PropertyDrill hole CS24-022 was drilled on the same line as hole CS24-018 and collared 200 metres behind it, encountering 14 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals. Nine (9) intervals were greater than 10 m wide, with the widest individual interval measuring 52.3 m.CS24-023 was drilled at the same collar location as hole CS24-020 in order to test the southern strike direction of the main large continuous pegmatite zone. Drill hole CS24-023 encountered 15 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals of which eight (8) intervals were greater than 10 m wide, with the widest individual interval measuring 188.6 m.Table 1.

Summary of Drill Hole Collar Information, Cisco Property (CS24-022 to 023)The mineralized intervals in all the holes are not necessarily representative of the true width and the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.Cautionary Statement: The presence of pegmatites does not confirm the presence of lithium (spodumene or other lithium minerals). Pegmatites are fractionated coarse grained igneous rocks commonly associated with lithium mineralization; however, many pegmatites do not contain mineralization. The presence of any mineralization can only be confirmed with assaying.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 km east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAll drill core samples are shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade will be multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li2O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.
