Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - December 2, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: A1W038) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary of the cobalt component of its Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia, in advance of the upcoming updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Based on the Company's review of publicly available information, the Hat Deposit may contain one of the largest undeveloped cobalt inventories associated with a Canadian mineral deposit.The Hat Deposit Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, released July 25, 2024, outlined a large alkalic porphyry type copper-gold-cobalt-scandium resource, within which cobalt occurs as a by-product metal uniformly associated with copper and pyrite mineralization. The cobalt component of the resource is summarized as follows:Indicated: 150 million tonnes containing 28 million pounds (approximately 12,700 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.008% CoInferred: 477 million tonnes containing 91 million pounds (approximately 41,300 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.009% CoThe Hat Deposit contains one of the more significant undeveloped cobalt-containing mineral resources in Canada. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.Cobalt is consistently distributed throughout the alkalic porphyry system alongside copper, gold, silver, and scandium. Metallurgical testwork to date indicates that cobalt is efficiently liberated into a clean pyrite concentrate suitable for conventional downstream processing. Additional metallurgical work is ongoing.Farshad Shirvani, President & CEO, commented: "Copper, gold, and scandium remain the primary value drivers at the Hat Deposit, but the cobalt content represents a meaningful additional component of the project's critical-minerals profile. As demand for secure and responsibly sourced battery metals continues to rise, the Hat Deposit's location in a Tier-1 jurisdiction and its unusually large cobalt endowment strengthen the project's long-term relevance. As we complete the updated MRE and advance our PEA, cobalt will be one of several important contributors evaluated in the broader economic framework."Why Cobalt from Hat MattersCobalt is designated a critical mineral by Canada, the United States, the European Union, Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It is essential for:High-performance lithium-ion batteriesSuperalloys used in aerospace and defenseClean-energy technologies including wind, fuel cells, and emerging grid-storage systemsMore than 70% of refined cobalt is processed in China, and most mine supply originates from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Western governments and industry groups are seeking secure, ethical, and transparent supply chains. Canada currently produces only minor by-product cobalt amounts. The Hat Deposit has the scale, continuity, and jurisdictional advantages to potentially contribute to future domestic supply should the project advance through the necessary evaluation and development stages.Qualified PersonErik Ostensoe, P.Geo., a consulting geologist and Doubleview's Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this news release. Mr. Ostensoe is not independent of Doubleview as he is a shareholder of the Company.About the Hat Polymetallic DepositThe Hat Deposit is located in northwestern British Columbia and is a large alkalic-porphyry system hosting significant copper, gold, cobalt, and scandium mineralization. The project has been advanced through multiple exploration campaigns, geophysical surveys, metallurgical test programs, and drill programs targeting expanded resource potential.

Rodney Village, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet Saint Lucia, Nov 28, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Capital Revo recently announced a renewed expansion of its trader education framework, rolling out new structured modules and enhanced navigation tools following a marked rise in platform engagement throughout 2025. The update represents a key milestone in the company's ongoing effort to provide accessible, analyst-supported learning resources to traders at every experience level.The growing relevance of trader education within modern financial markets continues to reshape how brokerage firms present learning resources, and Capital Revo is positioning its educational section as a structured environment tailored for different stages of experience. The company has recently observed a steady increase in user engagement throughout its educational library as traders seek reliable ways to understand market dynamics without marketing-driven distractions. This development has drawn attention from industry observers who note that the segment is expanding in both depth and accessibility.Market analysts describe the educational section as an evolving work in progress. The structure shows an intention to serve newcomers while still offering material that experienced individuals might revisit when refining methodologies. As many Capital Revo reviews on the internet suggest, the platform's consistency in expanding its educational framework is one of the elements most frequently mentioned. That said, analysts often remark that the distinguishing feature is not simply the quantity of resources available but the organization of those materials in a manner that avoids overwhelming users. On the other hand, the steady growth of content reflects broader industry expectations in which education has become a foundational service rather than a secondary feature.Specialists in financial communication who have examined the Capital Revo approach have pointed out how the company is maintaining attention on core trading topics. Observers note that this includes explanations of asset categories, interactive learning formats, and informational segments intended to clarify terminology that often confuses new market participants. The tone that emerges from external commentary suggests that the educational material is aimed at enabling learners to form structured habits, something frequently highlighted in Capital Revo opinions published across online trading communities. These observations illustrate how the materials are perceived within the wider ecosystem of retail investors seeking clarity in an increasingly digital environment.The most notable aspect identified by reviewers and third-party commentators relates to the gradual build-up of the educational flow. Many have commented that the material appears designed to guide individuals from basic principles toward more advanced approaches without forcing accelerated progress. Market consultants see this as a workable strategy that reflects how many analysts of their generation learned to interpret charts, economic calendars, and policy. A methodical pace may feel slow at times, but it avoids creating unrealistic expectations. This approach is attracting wider media interest at a time when discussions about responsible trading content have become increasingly common.External analysts observing the growth of Capital Revo's presence in educational discussions highlight the absence of sensationalist content. Instead, the available learning tools seem to focus on structural understanding. Independent assessments confirm that this aligns with current demand across the retail segment, which increasingly favors clarity over aggressive messaging. This reflects how new entrants are approaching markets in 2025 as they attempt to digest concepts of risk, execution practices, and the mechanics behind market movement. This trend is not limited to beginners; regular users also expect educational components to be present within their trading platforms, observers say.Experienced individuals sometimes revisit explanatory modules to refresh or update their frameworks. This has contributed to a growing body of commentary describing how Capital Revo's educational materials are accessed by a diverse user base. Furthermore, analysts point out that the clarity of organization caters to those who prefer to explore topics at their own pace. Feedback from aggregated Capital Revo reviews often indicates that the structured navigation contributes to a smoother learning progression.From a media standpoint, the current expansion of educational sections across brokerage platforms reflects a global trend. Many firms are competing to develop credible content that can withstand scrutiny from analysts and educators alike. In this context, Capital Revo's efforts are being monitored as part of a broader industry movement toward more transparent, modular, and methodical learning tools. Commentators have emphasized that this type of development strengthens the industry by establishing consistent expectations for traders entering the market.As the educational sector within online trading continues to expand, industry analysts anticipate further growth in the number of platforms revising their learning materials. Capital Revo has indicated through its public communication channels that education will remain a central component of its service offering. Market observers believe that this emphasis on structured learning will likely influence similar initiatives within other firms, particularly those looking to align with best practices noted in Capital Revo opinions and analysis-driven commentary.About Capital RevoCapital Revo is a financial services provider offering online trading infrastructure, educational resources, and technology-driven tools designed to support individuals throughout their market experience. The company focuses on delivering structured information intended to help traders understand core financial concepts and navigate market environments with clarity.Media ContactCapital Revo Communications DepartmentWebsite: https://capitalrevo.com/ Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Nov 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. (“Tat Hong” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) (Stock Code: 2153), the first foreign-owned tower crane service provider established in the PRC, has announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025 (the “Period”).During the Period, the Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB 301.1 million (2024: RMB340.9 million). Loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the Period amounted to RMB 55.1 million (2024: RMB36.2 million). The increase in loss was primarily due to a decline in revenue, attributable to the slower economic growth and a sluggish construction sector.As at 30 September 2025, the Group is managing a total of 1,135 tower cranes. The Group’s total tonne metres (TM) in use decreased to 1,414,422 for the Period from 1,637,740 in the previous same period. As at 30 September 2025, the Group had 331 projects in progress with a total outstanding contract value of approximately RMB 666.3 million and 58 projects on hand of total expected contract value at approximately RMB 283.9 million.During the six months ended 30 September 2025, the domestic economy faced continual growth pressures, which led to extended weak demand in the construction machinery industry. Concurrently, a decline in the average monthly service price of tower cranes per TM intensified the imbalance between supply and demand in the market, resulting in unprecedented fierce competition in the industry.In response to the challenges of weak domestic demand and intensified industry competition, the Group has been proactively optimizing its business portfolio and diversifying its market presence. Strategically, on the one hand, the Group was progressively reducing the proportion of business in the domestic real estate sector while increasing exposure in clean energy fields such as thermal power, nuclear power, and wind power. Leveraging its expertise in medium-to-large tower cranes, the Group focused on expanding into nuclear island and large-scale energy projects with extended construction cycles and high technical barriers. On the other hand, the Group accelerated its global market expansion and actively built a dual-driven business model at home and abroad through a series of initiatives including the establishment of a joint venture in Indonesia and the strategic expansion into the Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong with setting up subsidiaries.During the Period, while there are several awarded projects delayed in their commencement, the Group had continued the investment in the digitalization of the management platform and the research and development of new tower crane technical solutions. The Group believes the robust technical capabilities will continue to enable it to improve the operational efficiency and secure more projects, and the enhancement in the research and development capabilities for tower crane technical solutions will reinforce the excellent delivery in services.Mr. Sean Yau, CEO of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd., said: “Navigating through a complex landscape of economic pressures and a sluggish construction industry, we have proactively adjusted our strategies by expanding into clean energy projects and key overseas markets such as Indonesia. Supported by favorable national policies and signs of market recovery, the Group is well-positioned to strengthen its business presence in relevant sectors through its strategic initiatives, the effectiveness of which are expected to be gradually reflected in its performance in the near future.”Mr. Roland Ng, Chairman of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd., said: “In these dynamic times, our original mission continues to guide us with unwavering clarity. With our core corporate values ‘Virtue, Safety and Excellence’, we will continue to concentrate on the research and development of new tower crane technologies to equip ourselves with the most robust technical capabilities to deliver excellent services to our clients. We will continue our efforts to optimize our operation and digitalize our management platforms, so as to improve resources sharing, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. With all the above measures, we believe we can fulfil the Group’s goal to become ‘the best construction equipment service provider’ in the industry.”About Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd.

Belem, Brazil, Nov 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Indonesian government, through PT PLN (Persero), strengthened its commitment to advancing the global carbon market by forging two key collaborations during the Seller Meets Buyer forum at the Indonesia Pavilion at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, on Thursday (13/11). PLN signed a Mutual Expression of Intent with the Norwegian government via the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Japanese company Carbon Ex Inc. These partnerships represent a significant milestone in accelerating low-carbon project development and expanding Indonesia's role in the global carbon market.PLN's Director of Technology, Engineering, and Sustainability, Evy Haryadi, explained that PLN together with the Government is now taking on a new role as a catalyst and accelerator of the carbon market to accelerate the energy transition and encourage cross-sector collaboration in climate change mitigation. (13/11)Indonesia's Minister of Environment and Head of the Environmental Control Agency, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, emphasized that the partnerships established during the forum play a vital role in bolstering Indonesia's efforts to reduce global emissions."For Indonesia, this momentum is essential as it highlights the nation's capability to help achieve global greenhouse-gas reduction targets through the implementation of carbon trading under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement," Hanif said.PLN's Director of Technology, Engineering, and Sustainability, Evy Haryadi, noted that PLN—working alongside the government—is stepping into a new role as both a catalyst and an accelerator in the carbon market, aiming to speed up the energy transition and foster cross-border collaboration in climate-change mitigation."The world is progressing decisively toward Net Zero Emissions, and Indonesia is moving in step. PLN is committed to reaching Net Zero Emissions by 2060, in accordance with national targets and the Paris Agreement. To realize this ambition, collaboration isn't optional, it's essential," Evy said.Evy further explained that the government has launched the 2025–2034 Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL), which targets an additional 69.5 gigawatts (GW) of generation capacity, with 76% or 52.9 GW coming from renewable energy and storage. These new assets are projected to produce more than 1,000 terawatt-hours of green electricity over the next decade, creating significant opportunities for clean-energy development."Indonesia has a tremendous opportunity to lead the clean-energy transition and drive green economic transformation through the utilization of its energy resources. We aim to be a leader not just regionally but globally by supplying ample green energy and the necessary supporting infrastructure to help customers meet their future sustainability targets," Evy added.PLN provides two key green-attribute solutions to help companies advance their decarbonization efforts. The first is Carbon Units, which allow businesses to offset their greenhouse-gas emissions through verified emission-reduction or removal projects under reputable domestic and international standards. The second is green energy as a service, offering Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and Dedicated Green Energy Sources that give companies direct access to clean, reliable power from PLN's infrastructure. Together, these solutions enable businesses to craft effective short- and long-term strategies for achieving their Net Zero Emissions (NZE) goals."Our main products for managing green attributes are Carbon Units and Renewable Energy Certificates. RECs help businesses obtain official and transparent recognition that the electricity they use comes from renewable sources. These instruments not only meet compliance requirements but also create opportunities to accelerate decarbonization across various industrial sectors," Evy explained.Additionally, PLN is offering forward offtake opportunities for three Gold Standard-certified projects with a combined emissions reduction potential of around 1.5 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent (COâ‚‚e), including a 50-megawatt (MW) ground-mounted solar power plant (PLTS) with battery storage in the new capital city, Nusantara."We are presenting these opportunities as part of the Indonesian power sector's transformation toward a more sustainable, competitive, and internationally recognized energy ecosystem. With the support of investors and technology partners, we can accelerate the development of strategic projects that deliver tangible emissions-reduction impacts," Evy concluded.About PLNPT PLN (Persero) is Indonesia's state-owned electricity company, committed to continuous innovation and delivering the best service to its customers. PLN drives its Transformation 2.0 agenda with the vision of becoming a Top 500 Global Company and the No. 1 choice for energy solutions. This is achieved through sustainable business growth, end-to-end digitalization, energy transition initiatives supporting Net Zero Emissions (NZE), and the development of world-class human capital.ContactGregorius Adi TriantoExecutive Vice President, Corporate Communications & CSR, PLNTel. +62 21 7261122Fax. +62 21 7227059 Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
