Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 16, 2025) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQB: RMRDF) (FSE: 2RX) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will expand the ongoing step-out exploration drill program at the O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") to 140,000 metres utilizing up to eight drill rigs. The expanded program aims to build upon recent successes in delineating new high-grade gold mineralization outside the scope of the Project's current Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"). This will be the largest drill program in the history of the Project.Matt Manson, President & CEO, commented: "Following the recent completion of our very successful $25 million financing (see Radisson news release dated October 7, 2025), we are announcing a major increase in scope and ambition to our exploration drill program at O'Brien. Since late last year we have been demonstrating significant new gold mineralization in "proof-of-concept" drilling beneath the current mineral resources and below the historic mine workings (Figure 1). Our Exploration Target at O'Brien is between 3 and 4 million ounces of gold in 15 to 20 million tonnes at between 4.5 and 8.0 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au")1. This is based on the proposition that O'Brien's mesothermal gold mineralization continues to an exploration horizon of at least 2 kilometres depth. With recent results supporting this thesis, we now intend to accelerate our efforts with a view to meaningful resource growth at the Project. The new expanded program of 140,000 metres will continue through 2026 with up to 8 drill rigs, generating significant new data, updates to the Project's MRE, and regular news flow."Matt Manson continued: "The recently completed O'Brien Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") describes a high value project based on the use of neighbouring milling facilities for the processing of mined material, reducing capital costs, development risk, and project footprint (see Radisson news release dated July 9, 2025). It also represents a moment-in-time "snap-shot" for the Project utilizing the pre-existing MRE, which is located primarily at depths above 600 metres and based on drilling completed to the end of 2022. Our objective by the end of this new and aggressive drill program will be to demonstrate full potential scope of the Project." Step-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince late 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the full scope of mineralization at the Project to a 2-kilometre deep exploration floor. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. The first pilot hole drilled beneath the historic mine workings of the O'Brien mine intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth, 500 metres below the final mining stope.Figure 1: Long Section of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published to Date.

Assay results from additional wedges are expected shortly. Step-out drilling with wedge extensions has also confirmed high-grade mineralization 170 metres below the base of the existing mineral resources at Trend #1 and up to 300 metres below previous drill intercepts at Trend #2 (see Radisson news release dated September 8, 2025).By the end of 2025, Radisson expects to have completed approximately 35,000 metres of a 50-60,000 metre drill program originally announced in May 2025 (see Radisson news release dated May 21, 2025). With the new drilling announced today, the total meters drilled in this ongoing step-out program will increase to 140,000 metres. This will incorporate an expansion of site facilities and personnel to support up to 8 drill rigs from the current four. These rigs have already been secured under the terms of engagement with our existing drill contractor. The first additional drill rig has been mobilized to site, with drilling expected to start prior to the end of this month.Targeting priorities will be developed dynamically based on results, but will include: (a) multiple pilot-holes and wedge clusters beneath the historic mine to 2 kilometres depth, (b) pilot holes and wedges testing the deep extensions of Trends #0, #1 and #2, (c) testing for mineralization between Trends #1 and #2, and (d) testing the extension of gold mineralization beneath the historic Thompson-Cadillac mine located west of the O'Brien Mine.Updated Mineral Resource EstimatesThe MRE utilized in the recent O'Brien PEA comprises Indicated Mineral Resources of 0.58 million ounces (2.20 million tonnes at 8.2 g/t Au) and Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.93 million ounces (6.67 million tonnes at 4.4 g/t Au). Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. This MRE, effective as of May 6, 2025, is based on 325,509 metres of drilling completed to the end of 2022. By the end of the currently scheduled drill program a significant amount of new drilling will have been completed, the larger part being outside the scope of the current MRE and recent PEA mine design. This is expected to merit multiple updates to the O'Brien MRE as the drilling progresses.Gold Mineralization at O'BrienGold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to the metre-scale in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with near-vertical, high-grade shoots developed over significant lengths. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focussed on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well developed vein mineralization to the east of the historic mine, with additional high-grade shoots becoming evident in the exploration data over what has been described as a series of repeating trends ("Trend #s 0 to 5").Qualified Persons Disclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Richard Nieminen, P.Geo, (QC), a geological consultant for Radisson and a Qualified Person for purposes of NI 43-101. Mr. Luke Evans, M.Sc., P.Eng., ing, of SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd., is the Qualified Person responsible for the preparation of the MRE at O'Brien. Each of Mr. Nieminen and Mr. Evans is independent of Radisson and the O'Brien Gold Project.About Radisson MiningRadisson is a gold exploration company focused on its 100% owned O'Brien Gold Project, located in the Bousquet-Cadillac mining camp along the world-renowned Larder-Lake-Cadillac Break in Abitibi, Québec. A July 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment described a low cost and high value project with an 11-year mine life and significant upside potential based on the use of existing regional infrastructure. Indicated Mineral Resources are estimated at 0.58 million ounces (2.20 million tonnes at 8.2 g/t Au), with additional Inferred Mineral Resources estimated at 0.93 million ounces (6.67 million tonnes at 4.4 g/t Au).

HONG KONG, Oct 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly released the latest Standard Chartered Greater Bay Area Business Confidence Index (GBAI). The latest quarterly survey showed a broad-based recovery in business confidence in the third quarter towards current business performance and business outlook, likely supported by reduced external uncertainty following the extension of the US-China trade truce. The Q3 GBAI indices rose to multi-year high levels. The “current performance” index for business activities edged up to 54.7 from 53.1 in Q2, while the “expectations” index rose to 55.7 from 52 in Q2, marking a four-year and two-year high respectively.During the survey period of early August to early September, though the US’ reciprocal tariffs came into effect, the US extended the trade truce with China by another 90 days to November and reached multiple trade agreements with major trading partners.Amid the constructive dialogue between China and the US, the tariff uncertainty diminished and the overall external environment became relatively stable, supporting a quarter-on-quarter recovery in business sentiment.Almost all the “current performance” and “expectations” sub-indices rebounded. For “current performance”, six of the eight index components saw quarter-on-quarter improvement, led by a sharp 8pts increase in “new orders” (57.5 in Q3 from 49.5 in Q2) and 4.1pts increase in “prices of finished goods/services” (58.8 in Q3 from 54.7 in Q2).The positivism in business outlook was more noticeable with all “expectations” sub-indices staying well above the neutral mark. “Production/sales” saw the strongest rebound (+5.3pts) among the eight main sub-indices, followed by “financing scale” (+4.8pts), “fixed asset investment” (+4.2pts) and “profit” (+3.9pts).Irina Fan, Director of Research, HKTDC, said: “Across GBA cities, nearly all ‘current performance’ and ‘expectations’ rose quarter-on-quarter. In particular, Hong Kong saw the strongest rise in confidence among all cities, with the ‘current performance’ and ‘expectations’ sub-indices edging up a respective 8.3 pts and 7.3 pts to 52.2 and 53.6 in the quarter, underpinned by the continued trade frontloading and robust financial activities.”Hunter Chan, Economist, Greater China, Standard Chartered, said: “The survey findings are in line with the positivism we have seen across the markets in the third quarter following the extension of US-China trade truce and expectation of continued dialogue between the two countries during the survey period. However, the persisted trade uncertainty may hold back the business sentiment again. With increasing external uncertainties and the competition challenges in the Chinese Mainland, we believe the trend of diversification will continue. It is consistent with the findings that exploring overseas markets (24.5%) remains one of the strategies that GBA corporates are adopting to mitigate the potential risks.”On the other hand, there has been increasing discussion and concern on “anti-involution”. The survey also examined the impact of excessive competition among businesses and how GBA companies tackle those challenges.Most of the respondents (63.5%) indicated that they had not been affected by excessive domestic competition, while 3.1% of respondents said they benefited from it. About 29% reported a moderate impact and the remaining 5% indicated a significant impact.Among those businesses affected by involution, over 70% saw a negative impact on profit and sales, while only around 40% indicated disruptions to hiring and investment.The companies appear to be adopting multiple strategies to address the challenges from involution, including brand building and marketing (36.3%), cost control / inventory management (35.6%) and providing value-added services (29.7%).About the GBAIThe GBAI is the first forward-looking quarterly survey in the market that looks at the business sentiment and synergistic effects in cities and industries across the GBA.

(GA-ASI) and South Korea industry leader Hanwha Aerospace signed an agreement on October 14 to partner in development of the Gray Eagle® Short Takeoff and Landing (GE STOL) unmanned aircraft system (UAS). This landmark agreement marks the beginning of a new phase in U.S.-Korea defense cooperation, extending beyond traditional alliance structures to deliver next-generation, runway-independent UAS solutions that maximize commanders' options in the face of evolving mission demands.The deal marks the beginning of a co-development and co-production program between GA-ASI and Hanwha, with work set to begin immediately. The GE STOL will be offered to a worldwide customer base, including South Korea Ministry of Defense and the United States War Department.Under the agreement, the two companies will design and build a production representative GE STOL. The maiden flight is scheduled for 2027 and first delivery to customers in 2028. With a GA-ASI-funded prototype already flying, the program has demonstrated its ability to accelerate from development to delivery. By leveraging the trusted Gray Eagle foundation and forward-leaning investments, the partnership offers the fastest path with lowest risk to operational capability. GA-ASI and Hanwha Aerospace will work closely throughout the design phase and establish a production facility in South Korea for final assembly and manufacturing of the GE STOL, with GA-ASI handling the final integration. GA-ASI will continue to produce its other Gray Eagle models in San Diego."GA-ASI and Hanwha are committed to investing in this project and building development and production capabilities in South Korea," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "We'll be leveraging the expertise of both companies to quickly bring the Gray Eagle STOL to global customers."Gray Eagle STOL is the only medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS in its class to offer true runway independence by operating from semi-improved surfaces, including dirt roads, open fields, beaches, and parking lots. This exponentially increases its operational employment by providing multi-mission capability for Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA), counter UAS, and other missions including Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) while leveraging GE STOL's modular open systems approach.Using the GE STOL demonstrator, called Mojave, GA-ASI recorded several first-of-their-kind aviation milestones, including a 2024 demonstration when GA-ASI and Hanwha flew Mojave from the South Korean Navy's amphibious landing ship ROKS Dokdo (LPH-6111) as it was underway at sea off the coast of Pohang, South Korea. It has also been launched and recovered aboard the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales (2023), performed live-fire testing at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona (2024), and performed dirt strip operations (2023) underscoring GA-ASI's advances in runway independence and operational flexibility.The initiative is part of Hanwha's strategic investment plan in its UAS business. This commitment, together with GA-ASI's continued focus on UAS, demonstrates both companies' strategy to invest ahead of customer demand, reducing risk and lowering lifecycle costs through international cost-sharing, and ensuring timely delivery of next-generation UAS solutions in Korea and abroad."Jointly producing GE STOL in South Korea and the U.S. will create jobs and help Hanwha secure talent in related fields as well as foster our domestic (Korean) UAS industry ecosystem.

These include the Meritilga target where preparations have commenced for a high impact drilling program to test the down dip and on strike extensions of the existing system which hosts broad near surface gold-silver-base metal mineralisation with ore grade intervals (including 4m @ 20g/t gold and 30.2g/t silver from 75m 1).In light of near record Australian gold and silver prices, Kincora has commenced a review of prior encouraging drilling results within a paleochannel at the Meritilga target, which has including up to 28.4g/t gold in gravels (from 4m) and 3.99g/t gold in basement (from 28m) 2.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented,"We are pleased to commence exploration at our wholly owned Condobolin project at a time of significant exploration, development and corporate success in the southern and lesser explored section of the Cobar Basin. Kincora has a well-planned strategy to explore the extensions of the Condobolin Mineral Field, which has a substantial mining history for high grade gold, silver and base metals. The project is well located to existing infrastructure, is easy to explore and has very limited effective exploration below the shallow weathering profile. The extent of historical mining, and geochemical and geophysical anomalies, indicate excellent potential for multiple new discoveries. We are looking to systematically use exploration techniques that have already yielded the Meritilga discovery and many new recent discoveries in the north of the district at similar and earlier stage profile projects. The designed multi-phase campaign is a capital efficient value add strategy at a project that has the potential to excite in the current very strong precious metals environment."Figure 1: Kincora has seven major project groups located in Central West NSW, six porphyry and one Cobar style mineral system, all located in world-class geological terrains which host Tier-1 mines The Condobolin project is in the southern and lesser explored section of the Cobar BasinTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_18516798242cc817_001full.jpgCOBAR DISTRICTThe Cobar Basin has a 150-year history of high-grade, long-life mining and is an important supplier of critical and precious metals. The region benefits from established infrastructure and favourable ESG considerations with significant scope for processing and mining efficiencies, supporting potential consolidation.The district has recently seen several significant new discoveries utilising modern exploration techniques in lesser explored regions (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and emerging corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover for MAC Copper (MAC.ASX) and Kingston Resources (KSN.ASX) recently receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its PNG Misima project).CONDOBOLIN PROJECTThe project and regional profiles' support the Condobolin project being an asset that a junior explorer such as Kincora can add significant value to. A multi-phase exploration campaign of regional scale exploration and target specific drilling has commenced and is fully funded following the Company's July 2025 non-brokered private placement (C$4m raising with a 12-month hold period).The Condobolin project was historically the focus of up to 25 informal open pit operations (peak late 1800's-early 1900's), with mining impacted by the water table and exploration by the weathering profile. The mineral field has not been effectively explored below the weathered zone (~30m).Very limited modern exploration has taken with initial activities by Clancy Exploration (Clancy, now RareX Limited) yielding encouraging results at all five prospects drilled (2011-13), including a virgin high-grade gold discovery at the Meritilga Prospect.More recently within the immediate district, Kingston Resources (ASX: KSN) has significantly expanded the resources and restarted hard rock mining at the Mineral Hill mine, Talisman Mining (ASX: TLM) has recent new success at its Rip N Tear and Durnings targets (to both the immediate north and south of Mineral Hill), while Australian Gold and Copper (ASX: AGC) has excited the market with its new potential district scale discovery at its Achilles target located within the south western extension of the Cobar Basin.The Condobolin project is located approximately 40km south from the mill at Mineral Hill and north of the Condobolin town (which is the primary source of employees to Mineral Hill operation who drive through the Condobolin project to work) - see Figure 2.Kincora has consolidated a 100% project ownership and continued to expand our foothold across the near surface potential of the historical Condobolin Mineral Field. The total project size is 297km2 across two adjacent licenses with a new license application (latter 90km2) - see Figure 3.To advance the potential of the wider project and historical mining field, Kincora has mobilised an AEM survey covering over 800 line-kilometres utilising Expert Geophysics Pty Ltd's (Expert Geophysics) TargetEM26 system. Approximately 20% of the wider project is out-sub cropping with the average depth of cover in non-outcropping areas less than 5 metres supporting very easy exploration with surface geology and sampling being an effective, quick and cheap methods - see Figures 3 & 4.AEM surveys have proven to be a highly effective discovery technique in this region significantly contribution in several recent discoveries in the Cobar Basin. The survey is a quick low impact method to provide subsurface structure across the full historic Condobolin Mineral Field with an infill survey across multiple targets, including Meritilga, many of which have significant base metal and gold-silver anomalies - see Figures 3 & 4 overlaying lead anomalism from soil sampling.Figure 2: Regional brownfield and greenfield exploration projects are generating new discoveries and drill targets in a lesser explored but historic mining districtThe Condobolin project is located at the southern end of the Cobar Basin, benefits from existing infrastructure and is near the Mineral Hill mill which is seeking organic and inorganic means to fill existing excess mill capacityTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_image2.jpgThe Meritilga target was a new discovery made by Clancy in 2012 following up a coincident 2km x 2km arsenic-lead-zinc (+gold) geochemical anomaly and K-channel radiometric anomaly over ridges east of the historic mines at Mascotte and west of Potters. The anomalies coincided with key NE-striking structures identified in detailed 3D induced polarization (IP) surveys 1.The gold, silver and base metals system is situated within a lode with high grade lens (ore grade, eg 4m @ 20g/t gold, 30.2 g/t silver from 75m, including 1m @ 62g/t gold, 60g/t silver in hole CORC029) and a lower grade halo. The lode is a consistent body, open up and down dip 1, 3.Land access agreements are in place and the permitting process commenced for an up to 15 diamond drill hole program for 4100 metres testing down dip (up to 350m depth) and strike extensions and the potential for repeat high grade lens and/or a stacked series of lenses.This setting is supported by the last phase of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling by Clancy, the one diamond hole drilled by Kincora in 2023, coupled with a favourable structural setting where the main Meritilga Fault has been cross-cut by N-S trending faults 4.The current working geological model, underpinned by pathfinder zonation and coincident geophysical anomalies, supports the potential for a larger mineralised intrusive source at depth - see Figure 6. The AEM survey is expected to also better advance and refine these concepts.Given shifting in commodity prices, Kincora has commenced a review of prior encouraging very shallow gold drilling results of Clancy. In 2011, twenty Air-Core (AC) holes tested the Tilga paleochannel with several significant hits returned. The best intercept was 1m @ 28.4g/t Au (from 4m, hole COAC012 in the gravels) and 3.99g/t Au (from 28m, hole COAC005 in basement) 2.The average depth of the paleochannel gravels was 7.9m with a potential target area of 2km by 0.5km - see Figure 4. The last review of the alluvial gold potential was undertaken by Clancy when the Australian gold price was approximately A$1500/ounce (versus current spot of almost A$6000/oz). The review by Kincora will explore the potential alternatives, budgets and partnering opportunities available to advance the alluvial (placer) gold potential either concurrent with the wider Condobolin project or as a standalone project.Figure 3: Kincora has increased the size of the total Condobolin project by a third and commenced an airborne geophysical survey across the historic Condobolin Mineral Field The extent of historical mining, existing near surface geochemical and geophysical anomalies provides excellent potential for multiple new discoveries as Kincora implements modern systematic exploration approaches that have already yielded the Meritilga discovery plus many recent discoveries in the north of the district at similar and earlier stage profile projectsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_image3_550.jpgFigure 4: The extent of historical mining, existing near surface geochemical and geophysical anomalies, coupled with limited modern exploration or exploration below the weathered zone provides excellent potential for multiple new discoveriesSouth-western portion of the Condobolin Project, including the Tilga Paleochannel where prior Clancy drilling supported the potential for alluvial (placer) goldTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/270304_image4.jpgFigure 5: Limited prior modern exploration by Clancy resulted in the Meritilga discovery with follow up drilling planned to test down dip, on strike and the potential for repeat high grade lens and/or a stacked series of lenses.

HONG KONG, Oct 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Everest Medicines today announced that the first patient has been enrolled in a global multi-center Phase I clinical trial of its Tumor-Associated Antigen Cancer Vaccine EVM14 at NEXT Oncology Virginia in the United States. Previously, the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for EVM14 has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China. EVM14 becomes Everest Medicines’ first internally developed therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine to receive IND approvals from both China’s NMPA and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).EVM14, an off-the-shelf therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine, is developed based on Everest Medicines' proprietary mRNA platform. It is formulated with mRNA encoding 5 tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and is designed to treat various squamous cell carcinomas, including squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sq-NSCLC) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In the targeted cancer types, 96% of patients with sq-NSCLC and 97% of patients with HNSCC expressed at least one of the five target genes[1]. TTA vaccines offer distinct advantages, including elimination of HLA screening requirements, off-the-shelf availability, lower production costs versus personalized neoantigen vaccines, and applicability across multiple tumor types.“The cancer burden in China remains substantial. Neither immunotherapy nor targeted therapy can offer long term benefits to cancer patients. EVM14 is designed to treat various squamous cell carcinomas, EVM14’s unique mechanism offers the potential to complement current treatments by enhancing the efficacy via combination therapies and helping delay disease recurrence, aligning with current trends in oncology drug development.” said Professor Lu Shun, the Lead Principal Investigator in China and Director of the Oncology Department at Shanghai Chest Hospital.“The enrollment of the first patient with EVM14 in the United States marks an important achievement in advancing the global clinical development of our in-house mRNA platform.” said Rogers Yongging Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “This progress demonstrates Everest's continued efforts to translate technological innovation into clinical practice and our first move advantage in developing next-generation immuno-oncology therapies, including therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccines. EVM14 is Everest's first therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine to achieve IND approvals in both China and the U.S. The large patient population faces limited options with existing standard-of-care therapies, highlighting an unmet medical need. As a TAA cancer vaccine, EVM14's unique mechanism offers the potential to complement current treatments by enhancing the efficacy via combination therapies and helping delay disease recurrence, offering hope for long-term cancer-free survival. With EVM14 receiving IND approval from China's NMPA, we look forward to this innovative therapy demonstrating promising therapeutic potential in global multicenter clinical trials, bringing more treatment options to patients worldwide and enhance their quality of life.”Everest Medicines' Jiashan manufacturing site released the first GMP clinical trial batch in June 2025. This batch will support the clinical trials of EVM14 in both China and the United States. The clinical centers involved include NEXT Oncology Virginia, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the U.S., and Shanghai Chest Hospital in China.Leveraging the company's industry-leading mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccine platform and mRNA in vivo CAR-T platform, it is building a globally competitive R&D pipeline. EVM18, the in vivo CAR-T program, has completed multiple non-human primates (NHPs) trials and achieved preclinical proof-of-concept, with first-in-human data expected to initiate by the end of 2025. EVM16, the personalized therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine, has initiated its first-in-human trial in China, with patient dosing completed. In the investigator-initiated trial (IIT), dose escalation in the low- and mid-dose cohorts has been completed, with encouraging preliminary data observed. EVM15, the immune-modulatory cancer vaccine, has completed preclinical proof of concept and identified its clinical candidate.Looking ahead, Everest Medicines will continue to deepen its “dual-engine” strategy, maintaining a strong focus on advancing innovative drug discovery and development to drive sustainable growth and global expansion.

"This is one of the most advanced and significant tungsten projects in the Western Hemisphere — and as we move toward Pre-Feasibility and production, we're proving that large-scale, U.S.-based projects can once again compete globally. But to secure that future, the government needs to move with the same urgency the market demands. If we want American metals for American industry, the time to act is now."CEO Brodie Sutherland added, "With more than 85 % of U.S. tungsten currently imported, Patriot's Nevada asset offers a direct pathway to reshoring a metal vital for defense, aerospace, semiconductors, and clean-energy technologies."Investment Highlights:Largest SEC-Compliant Tungsten Resource in the United States - 21.8 M short tons @ 0.18 % WO₃ (~78.7 M lbs contained)Tier-1 Mining Jurisdiction - Road access, grid power, and an experienced Nevada workforceOpen-Pit, Near-Surface Potential - Shallow geometry supports rapid, low-cost advancementNational Security Alignment - Tungsten is a designated critical mineral under the Defense Production ActAdvancing Toward PFS and Production - Engineering, permitting, and federal-program engagement now underwayQualified PersonsBrodie Sutherland, P.Geo, is a "Qualified Person" as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and has reviewed and approved the technical aspects of this news release.

Specifically, the forward-looking statements include: that the MEGA tungsten project has geological potential and will reach production; that the mineral resource estimates on the MEGA tungsten project will be realized; that Patriot is uniquely positioned to become one of the only tungsten producers in the United States; Patriot's positioning to deliver a secure, domestic source of tungsten; the strategic value of tungsten to the United States; the market prospects and price stability of tungsten; the Company's plans to advance the MEGA tungsten project, including filing a NI 43-101 technical report and engaging with the U.S. government to align development timelines with critical mineral funding programs, stockpiling strategies, and defense procurement priorities; the Company's planned position to be a supplier of choice in the tungsten market; and the Company's vision to become the go-to name for tungsten. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable and reflect expectations of future developments and other factors which management believes to be reasonable and relevant, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In making the forward‐looking statements in this news release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including without limitation, that market fundamentals will support the viability of critical mineral resource exploration, the availability of the financing required for the Company to carry out its planned future activities, the availability of and the ability to retain and attract qualified personnel, and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. Other factors may also adversely affect the future results or performance of the Company, including general economic, market or business conditions, future prices of minerals, changes in the financial markets and in the demand for minerals, changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting the mineral exploration industry, as well as additional risks that cannot be anticipated at this time. Ongoing labor shortages, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, the global financial and geopolitical climate, and the conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine and surrounding regions are some additional factors that are affecting current economic conditions and increasing economic uncertainty, which may impact the Company's operating performance, financial position, and future prospects. Collectively, the potential impacts of this economic environment pose risks that are currently indescribable and immeasurable. No assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward‐looking statements will occur or, if they do occur, what benefits the Company will obtain from them. Readers are cautioned that forward‐looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and, accordingly, are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward‐looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of such statements. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update such forward‐looking information whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable law.To view the source version of this press release, please visit https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/270133 Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

MOSCOW, Oct 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Open Dialogue international platform announced Tuesday the launch of its 2026 International Essay Contest, inviting young professionals and thought leaders worldwide to submit proposals addressing global economic challenges and opportunities for sustainable development.Young Professionals Worldwide Invited to Submit Visions for Economic and Social TransformationThe initiative was unveiled by Maxim Oreshkin, program director and economic development adviser, during the "Inventing the Future" international symposium held in Moscow this week. The contest builds on the success of the project's inaugural competition, which attracted 696 essays written in 16 languages from participants representing 102 countries."We are launching the second International Essay Contest to engage young, energetic authors from diverse professions and cultures," Oreshkin said during his keynote address at the symposium. "We seek innovative visions for the future - the future of the individual, society, economies, and our entire planet."The Open Dialogue project, established as an independent international platform for cross-cultural exchange and economic discourse, aims to facilitate meaningful conversations between emerging leaders and established experts on pressing global issues. Contest organizers emphasized that selected proposals will be compiled into a comprehensive report for review by international economic development panels and think tanks.The contest's first edition demonstrated significant global engagement, with submissions exploring themes ranging from sustainable urban development to digital transformation in emerging markets. According to program statistics, the initial competition resulted in 100 finalists being selected for an international forum in Moscow, where they presented their concepts to industry leaders, academics, and policy advisers."The diversity of perspectives we received - from technology entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley to social innovators in Sub-Saharan Africa - highlighted the universal nature of the challenges we face and the creative solutions emerging from different corners of the world," said Anna Petrova, the contest's international coordinator.The 2026 contest expands on previous themes while introducing new categories focused on artificial intelligence ethics, climate adaptation strategies, and inclusive economic models. Participants can submit essays in their native languages, with translations provided by the organizing committee to ensure broader accessibility and evaluation fairness.The initiative connects with a broader domestic program called "Dreams of the Future," which engaged 4,000 young professionals across Russia through creative video submissions. That program required participants to envision future scenarios beginning with the phrase "We want to create a future in which..." while incorporating references to science fiction literature curated by cultural institutions.Educational partnerships have been established with universities in Europe, Asia, and the Americas to promote participation and provide academic support for contestants. The Open Dialogue platform has also launched dedicated social media channels and online resources, including webinars and mentorship programs, to support participants throughout the submission process.Contest submissions will be evaluated by an international jury comprising economists, social scientists, technology experts, and sustainability specialists. The evaluation criteria include innovation, feasibility, potential global impact, and alignment with sustainable development objectives.Winners will receive opportunities for international internships, research grants, and participation in global economic forums. The top 100 finalists will be invited to Moscow for a week-long summit featuring workshops, networking sessions, and presentations to international organizations.The Open Dialogue project represents part of a growing trend of international platforms seeking to engage younger generations in addressing global challenges through collaborative approaches. Similar initiatives have emerged in recent years, including the World Economic Forum's Global Shapers Community and various United Nations youth engagement programs.Oreshkin noted that the most promising proposals would receive support for pilot implementation through partnerships with development organizations and private sector sponsors. "We're not just collecting ideas - we're building pathways to turn visionary concepts into tangible solutions," he stated.The contest accepts submissions through March 31, 2026, with preliminary results announced in May. Final presentations and awards ceremony are scheduled for October 2026 in Moscow, coinciding with an international economic development conference.Registration and submission guidelines are available in multiple languages on the Open Dialogue platform's website. Organizers confirmed that all broadcasts and recordings of related events, including preparatory webinars and the final ceremony, will be available through the project's social networks and digital channels.The initiative has garnered support from international academic institutions, youth organizations, and economic development agencies seeking fresh perspectives on persistent global challenges.Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/gowithrussiaVK: https://vk.com/gowithrussiaOK: https://ok.ru/gowithrussiaDZen: https://dzen.ru/gowithrussiaContact for the mediaBrand: Russia National CentreContact: Media teamWebsite: https://russia.ruEssay Submission: https://dialog.russia.ru/en/ Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
