SHENZHEN, CHINA, July 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that on 28 July 2025, the New Drug Application (NDA) for improved new drug ZUNVEYL (Benzgalantamine Gluconate Enteric-coated Tablets) (“ZUNVEYL” or the “Product”) has been accepted by the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA). The Product is indicated for the treatment of mild-to-moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type in adults.About Product ZUNVEYLZUNVEYL was approved in July 2024 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of mild-to-moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type in adults. As a new generation of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI), ZUNVEYL can inhibit the acetylcholinesterase from breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, increase the level of acetylcholine in the central nervous system, and therefore alleviate cognition and memory impairment in Alzheimer’s disease patients. As a prodrug of galantamine, ZUNVEYL remains inert as it passes through the stomach and the intestine, and eventually releases the active drug into the bloodstream after being metabolized by the liver. With such a mechanism of action, ZUNVEYL is expected to have equivalent efficacy as galantamine with the potential of reducing gastrointestinal (GI) side effects and addressing certain tolerability issues. Galantamine has accumulated extensive evidence of efficacy and demonstrated long-term clinical benefit in the treatment of mild-to-moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type since the approval of FDA in 2001[1]. Moreover, GI adverse events documented across all studies for ZUNVEYL were less than 2% and no insomnia was observed[2]. As the second oral therapy approved by FDA for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease during the past decade, ZUNVEYL demonstrates a potentially better gastrointestinal safety profile to improve compliance of Alzheimer’s disease patients and therefore brings clinical benefits. Patent in regard to use of ZUNVEYL has already been granted in China.About Alzheimer’s DiseaseAlzheimer’s disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive decline in memory and other cognitive functions, among which some of the patients will progress to dementia. Dementia is a kind of syndrome with acquired cognitive function impairment as the core symptom, and can lead to the reduction of patients’ daily living, learning, working and social interaction ability. Alzheimer dementia accounts for 50% to 70% of all types of dementia[3,4]. According to the epidemiological study results published in the Lancet Public Health[5], there are about 9.83 million patients with Alzheimer dementia in China, of which 7.93 million are mild-to-moderate[6]. With the intensifying aging trend, the number of patients and the consequent disease burden will further increase in the future.Currently the clinical treatment of Alzheimer’s disease can be categorized as improving cognitive symptoms and decelerating disease progression[7], and AChEI belongs to the former. According to the Research Report on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Alzheimer’s disease Patients in China[8], the high incidence of side effects is one of the major pain points for existing drugs for Alzheimer’s disease, and drug intolerance is one of the challenges in current treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Tolerability affects therapy adherence, with data showing that 55% of Alzheimer’s disease patients discontinue their medication after one year, mainly due to GI side effects and insomnia. Medication discontinuation can cause risk to patients themselves, and dissatisfaction and burden among patient’s family, physicians, and caregivers[9]. Therefore, Alzheimer’s disease patients still have an urgent need for safer therapies.On 8 January 2025, the Group through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a License, Collaboration and Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Alpha Cognition Inc. (“Alpha”) of the improved new drug ZUNVEYL for the treatment of mild-to-moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type. In accordance with the Agreement, the Group is entitled to an exclusive right to develop, register, manufacture, import, export and commercialize the Product in Asia (excluding Japan and the Middle East region), Australia and New Zealand (the “Territory”), Alpha reserves the right to manufacture and supply in the Territory. The term of cooperation commences on the effective date of the Agreement and extends for twenty years (the “Initial Term”), it may be automatically renewed every five years upon the expiration of the Initial Term unless terminated by notice from either party.Around six months after obtaining the above rights of ZUNVEYL, the Group promptly submitted the NDA in China, demonstrating its efficient allocation of resources and robust capabilities in registration promotion. ZUNVEYL will further diversify the Group’s innovative drug product matrix and enhance the Group’s comprehensive competitiveness. The Product will synergize with the Group’s various central nervous system products including the innovative drug VALTOCO (diazepam nasal spray) and the original brand drug Deanxit (flupentixol and melitracen tablets) on sale and the innovative drug Y-3 for Injection under development in terms of expert network and market resources. Relying on the Group’s successful commercialization experience and compliant and efficient commercialization system, if ZUNVEYL is approved for marketing, it will bring a new drug option for the treatment of cognitive impairment in Chinese Alzheimer’s disease patients, meeting the clinical need for drugs of both efficacy and safety, improving disease diagnosis and treatment practices, thereby benefiting patients. The Product is expected to have a positive impact on the Group’s financial results.Reference:1. Xu, Hong et al. Long-term Effects of Cholinesterase Inhibitors on Cognitive Decline and Mortality.

- The HKTDC continues to help SMEs seize digital trade opportunities by co-hosting with the ICC DSI a masterclass on technologies such as electronic bills of lading and blockchain. More than 200 SMEs took part.- Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC, emphasised that Hong Kong is actively developing its digital trade ecosystem, with a focus on innovation, efficiency and international collaboration, to consolidate its competitive advantages. As digital trade becomes more common, the HKTDC will ensure Hong Kong businesses continue to thrive and enhance the city’s role as a leading supply chain hub.- Pamela Mar, Managing Director of ICC DSI, noted that by aligning its finance, trade and logistics sectors with global digital trade standards, Hong Kong can remain competitive and resilient on the world stage and is well-positioned to spearhead Asia’s digital-trade development.- Andy Lam, Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government, said that the Government is making reference to the Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records and is considering legislative amendments to remove the legal hurdles in the digitalisation of trade documents. The target is to submit the relevant legislative proposal to the Legislative Council next year to help industry develop technical solutions based on their actual needs.HONG KONG, July 28, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Digitalisation is reshaping the global economy, and companies must embrace digital transformation to capitalise on new opportunities. The 2025-26 Budget announced that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government would make reference to the Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) advocated by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and consider legislative amendments to facilitate digitalisation of trade documents. The legislative proposal will be submitted to the Legislative Council next year. The MLETR is a global standard advocated by the UNCITRAL to provide a legal framework for electronic trade documents. Aligning local legislation with standards of the MLETR is a major endeavour in promoting trade digitalisation. In line with these efforts, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the International Chamber of Commerce Digital Standards Initiative (ICC DSI) co-hosted the “Digital Trade Masterclass” at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre to examine the MLETR’s potential impact on Hong Kong’s cross-border trade. Industry experts shared practical insights on digital transformation, helping equip businesses with the information they need to enhance their high value-added service capabilities. More than 200 SMEs participated in the event.As an international financial and trading centre and a leading re-export hub, Hong Kong is able to capitalise on its unique advantages to reinforce connectivity, serving as a bridge linking the mainland and global markets. It provides high-standard professional services, robust financial infrastructure and an innovative environment for international trade. The HKTDC works closely with the HKSAR Government to highlight the city’s strength in delivering high value-added services across the trade supply chain.Speaking at the event, Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC, said that with the changing trade landscape, there was no better time to reinforce Hong Kong’s competitive advantages. “Hong Kong is actively developing its digital trade ecosystem, with a focus on innovation, efficiency and international collaboration, to consolidate its competitive advantages. As digital trade becomes more common, we are committed to making sure Hong Kong businesses continue to thrive. It is also a great opportunity to reinforce our city’s role as a leading supply chain hub. The HKTDC is dedicated to helping businesses leverage innovative technologies to equip businesses to be future-ready. Our Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference (ALMAC) examines trends in global trade and supply chains, innovation and digitalisation, while our support programmes, including Transformation Sandbox, help enterprises scale up their capabilities in key areas, including digital transformation and supply chain solutions, to empower SMEs and start-ups to benefit from digital trade.”Pamela Mar, Managing Director of the ICC DSI, believes Hong Kong, as an international trade and logistics hub already aligned with global standards, will lead Asia’s future digital trade development by remaining competitive and resilient amid a shifting global landscape. “Finance, trade and logistics make up over 45 % of Hong Kong’s economy, so accelerating digitalisation in these sectors will have a positive economy-wide impact.”, said Pamela Mar. “Hong Kong is well-positioned to become a leader in this space by aligning global standards and building on its strength as a trusted hub. The adoption of MLETR is a vital step, providing legal certainty for electronic documents like bills of lading, while streamlining processes and enhancing traceability. But legal reform is only the beginning — even greater gains lie in the private sector stepping up its digital transformation, which can be enhanced by Web3 technologies.”Andy Lam, Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government, said, “The HKSAR Government is committed to fostering an efficient business environment and maintaining the international competitiveness of Hong Kong. Facilitating the digitalisation of trade documents is part of this strategy. We anticipate that the industry would actively provide feedback and allow the Government to formulate a legal framework that is in line with the needs of the industry, on which basis the industry may propose different technical solutions. On the other hand, the Government is also pressing ahead with Phase 3 of the Trade Single Window, which will not only facilitate the industry in their submission of business-to-government trade documents such as import and export declarations, but will also connect with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)'s Commercial Data Interchange (CDI) to facilitate banks in accessing relevant data to process trade financing.”Industry experts discuss challenges in trade digital transformationAccelerating digital transformation across every link of the supply chain introduces unique challenges. At the Masterclass, the conference brought together specialists in digital trade finance, electronic bills of lading, digital freight and logistics, and digital retail supply chain management to share their practical experience and insights working on digital transformation.Kenise Sin, Senior Data Analyst in the Financial Infrastructure Department at the HKMA, explained: “SMEs’ access to trade finance has long been hindered by different pain points in the process. For instance, the heavy reliance on paper-based documents has led to inefficiencies and difficulties in tracking and verifying the transactions.” She added that HKMA aims to formulate a digitalisation roadmap for sea, road and air transportation cargo data by the end of this year, integrating cargo data sources across jurisdictions with the HKMA’s CDI, to enhance data sharing. In the coming two years, the HKMA will also work with the Airport Authority Hong Kong, the Transport and Logistics Bureau as well as pilot banks to leverage cargo data and CDI to improve digital trade finance.Erik Kwok, Head of Technology and Operations at Air8 — which develops a supply chain finance platform for cross-border trade — echoed these concerns: “Many small to medium-sized exporters struggle to secure funding due to inadequate data for credit assessments, hindering their ability to compete globally. These obstacles are compounded by insufficient support for risk management strategies, leaving SMEs vulnerable in a rapidly evolving market.”Another guest speaker, Candy Chan, Product Manager at IQAX, outlined how digitalising bills of lading can save both time and costs, boosting the efficiency of the entire trade ecosystem. She said many banks, freight forwarders, and customs systems still operate on fragmented digital platforms and lack interoperability. Blockchain, she argued, can bridge these silos: “Each trading partner has unique operational needs when adopting blockchain networks in digital platforms. In cross-border trade, trading and shipping documents are exchanged, and digitalised documents within a blockchain network can solve trust issues within and across networks, backed by MLETR.”Photo download: http://bit.ly/4lNB4t9Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC attended the Digital Trade Masterclass and delivered the opening remarks on 28 July.(From left) Andy Lam, Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, HKSAR Government; Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC; and Pamela Mar, Managing Director, ICC DSI.Industry experts shared insights and challenges on digital transformation.

- The implementation of streamlined approval procedures for Hong Kong- and Macao-registered proprietary Chinese medicines (“pCms”) by mainland China presents significant opportunities for Hong Kong companies to expand into the Greater Bay Area and other mainland market.- A unified and comprehensive registration system strengthens the quality control of Hong Kong's pCms, reinforcing confidence among other regulatory bodies and stakeholders.- Hong Kong's first Chinese medicine hospital will gradually commence operations by year end. This will help promote the popularity of Chinese medicine and pCms.HONG KONG, July 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (“HKTDC”) today released a report, "Challenges and Opportunities in Hong Kong's Proprietary Chinese Medicine Industry," that analyses the sector’s development, challenges, and export potential of Hong Kong’s pCm sector. With the completion of the transitional registration process for pCms in June this year, all pCms sold in Hong Kong now hold formal registration, marking a new era in the regulatory regime. The Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong is set to begin operations by late 2025 further popularising pCms. Additionally, mainland China has streamlined approval procedures for Hong Kong-registered traditional pCms, creating easier access to the mainland market.Hong Kong’s pCms enjoy a strong reputation, with streamlined registration procedures facilitating expansion into the Mainland marketHong Kong currently has approximately 2,000 companies involved in pCms and Chinese herbal medicine-related businesses, including import/export trade, manufacturing, wholesale and retail. Among these, some 264 enterprises are listed as local pCm manufacturers. The majority of pCms produced in Hong Kong are geared toward the consumer market. In 2024, Hong Kong’s pCm exports totaled HK$2.88 billion with 93% locally produced, setting the industry apart from re-export-driven sectors. Mainland China remains the largest export market, accounting for over 70% of exports, followed by Macao (20%), and ASEAN (6%).Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China) of the HKTDC, stated: "Many Hong Kong proprietary Chinese medicines companies are eager to expand exports especially to the mainland market although pCm imports in mainland China are relatively small, with different pCms registration system and technical standards from those of Hong Kong. Notably, Hong Kong’s pCms are highly regarded in Southern China and overseas Chinese communities, and streamlined approval procedures in mainland China for traditional pCms of Hong Kong and Macao offer significant opportunities for Hong Kong businesses to expand into the Greater Bay Area and other mainland markets. Additionally, the rise of online shopping enables companies to leverage cross-border e-commerce platforms to access mainland and overseas markets, provided they comply with the corresponding regulatory requirements.”Comprehensive registration system drives standardisation of Chinese medicineThe report indicates that, in recent years, the HKSAR Government has actively promoted the development of Chinese medicine. Key initiatives include the establishment of the Chinese Medicine Council of Hong Kong to oversee the registration and management of pCms, and continuous support for Chinese medicine services in areas such as education, medical treatment, and scientific research. These efforts have enabled Hong Kong to cultivate professional Chinese medicine talent and promote the modernisation of Chinese medicine. Earlier this month, some 345 Hong Kong enterprises, including traders, registered a total of 8,244 pCms.The report states that a unified and comprehensive registration system enhances the quality control of Hong Kong's pCms, further increasing the confidence of other regulatory bodies and stakeholders in these products. Hong Kong's first Chinese medicine hospital is set to open in late 2025, providing comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services with Chinese medicine, which will drive the popularisation of Chinese medicine and pCms.In addition, Hong Kong pCm companies and local universities are committed to developing new pCms to further expand the market. Recently, the Centre for Chinese Herbal Medicine Drug Development at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission of HKSAR Government under the InnoHK Research Clusters, developed a novel drug, CDD-2101, for the treatment of chronic constipation. The innovation is based on previous pilot clinical studies and basic research on the traditional Chinese herbal formulation "MaZiRenWan”. For the first time, it has received authorisation for clinical research in the United States.Prof. BIAN Zhaoxiang, Director of the Centre for Chinese Herbal Medicine Drug Development and Associate Vice-President (Clinical Chinese Medicine) at HKBU, said: "Our goal is to collect sufficient safety and efficacy data to obtain FDA approval for CDD-2101 as a marketable new drug and successfully launch it in the United States. This represents not only a major breakthrough in the research and development of Chinese medicine in Hong Kong but also an important step in driving the standardisation and internationalisation of Chinese medicine.”Mainland market surpasses RMB450 billionMainland China, the world's largest pCm market valued at RMB450 billion, streamlined registration and approval procedures in 2021 for traditional pCms for external use being sold in Hong Kong and Macao. In January 2025, the National Medical Products Administration further simplified the approval process for traditional pCms for oral use, provided they have been in use in Hong Kong for more than 15 years and whose production processes comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. Relevant application materials and technical requirements were also released in April this year. The report notes that the implementation of the streamlined registration procedures opens a more convenient channel for Hong Kong companies to expand into the Greater Bay Area and other mainland markets.The recognition and acceptance of pCms differ across overseas regions. In many international markets, pCms are categorised and regulated as herbal medicines, health foods or dietary supplements. However, many Southeast Asian countries have specific, similar legal requirements for pCms, providing a clear pathway to enter these markets.The rapid growth of global e-commerce has created new sales channels for Hong Kong’s pCms through cross-border e-retail. For the mainland market, the report points out that certain pCms for external use, such as Chinese medicinal wines and cooling oils, have been incorporated in the Cross-border E-commerce Retail Import Commodity List, allowing relevant products to be sold to mainland China through cross-border e-commerce channels.In overseas markets, the e-commerce retail sector in ASEAN is experiencing significant growth, fueled by robust demand for herbal and health-related products in local markets. By adhering to local regulations, Hong Kong pCm enterprises can capitalise on additional business opportunities through online channels.Annual Chinese Medicine Conference to Share Latest Research FindingsTo foster the development of the Chinese medicine industry, the International Conference of the Modernization of Chinese Medicine & Health Products will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 15 to 16 August 2025. The conference is jointly organised by the Modernized Chinese Medicine International Association, the HKTDC and 10 scientific research institutions. During the event, 21 scholars and experts from medical schools, research institutions, pharmaceutical companies and organisations from mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand will discuss the latest research progress in the prevention and treatment of tumors, inflammation, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases using traditional medicine. They will also present a number of related clinical research results and share successful cases.

HONG KONG, July 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Quantum Solutions Co.,Ltd. (2338.T), a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed company, announced the official launch of its Bitcoin treasury initiative in 23rd July. Over the next 12 months, the company plans to gradually build a reserve position of up to 3,000 Bitcoins (BTC) as part of a broader long-term strategy to diversify its corporate treasury assets. The initiative will be managed and executed by its wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary, GPT Pals Studio Limited, and will begin with an initial investment of USD 10 million provided by international investment firm Integrated Asset Management (Asia) Limited.This marks Quantum Solutions’ first public move into digital asset allocation. The company views Bitcoin as a long-term, strategic reserve instrument and will implement the plan in phases to ensure proper risk control and financial governance. The 3,000-BTC target will be pursued in stages, with procurement timing and scale subject to prevailing market conditions, capital availability, and regulatory context.Integrated Asset Management (Asia) is a Hong Kong-based investment company that led the acquisition of Forbes Media in 2014. The firm, founded by Tak Cheung Yam, specializes in public and private equity investments. Mr. Yam, through its controlled entities, including Integrated Asset Management (Asia), is a major shareholder of Forbes Media, with the Forbes family retaining a minority stake. Integrated Asset Management’s engagement in this initiative underscores a growing institutional openness toward incorporating Bitcoin within modern corporate treasury considerations.The operational responsibility for the Bitcoin reserve project lies with GPT Pals Studio Limited, which has begun establishing a secure and auditable digital asset infrastructure, including segregated cold and hot wallet systems, internal controls, and accounting mechanisms. The company’s board and audit committee will provide periodic oversight of the portfolio’s valuation, exposure, and governance, in accordance with applicable regulatory and accounting standards.At current market prices, the target reserve of 3,000 BTC would be equivalent to approximately JPY 53.8 billion (USD 350 million). The company clarified that this is a long-term positioning effort rather than a short-term speculative activity and that it intends to align asset deployment with financial stability and shareholder value.“We are uniquely positioned to build a Bitcoin-first capital structure. Our goal is not only to accumulate Bitcoin, but to do so with institutional-grade discipline,” said Francis Zhou, CEO of Quantum Solutions. “We are in advanced discussions with top-tier asset managers, sovereign wealth allocators, and fintech leaders to scale our treasury roadmap responsibly and rapidly.”Globally, an increasing number of public companies and institutional investors are adopting Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and monetary policy risk. Quantum Solutions’ initiative places it among a growing group of companies taking early steps toward integrating blockchain-based assets into their financial frameworks. The decision to leverage Hong Kong as the operational base reflects confidence in the region’s infrastructure, policy clarity, and gateway role for global capital engagement.Tak Cheung Yam, founder of Integrated Asset Management Limited, shared his perspective on Quantum Solutions: "Quantum Solutions demonstrates a clear strategic vision and determination. I see compelling potential in their approach to building a significant Bitcoin treasury, and I look forward to supporting their efforts in unlocking institutional pathways and capital alignment. It's a timely opportunity for firms with global ambition and focused execution."This launch represents a significant development in Quantum Solutions’ broader capital strategy, transitioning from a traditional AI and tech solutions provider to an enterprise with a forward-looking, diversified financial architecture. The company will continue to explore ways to enhance its treasury structure by evaluating new asset classes and cross-border capital tools that strengthen its long-term balance sheet resilience.If the Bitcoin reserve program generates a material impact on the company’s financial performance in the future, disclosures will be made in accordance with Tokyo Stock Exchange regulations and financial reporting requirements.About Quantum Solutions Co., Ltd.Quantum Solutions Co., Ltd.

Alexander. "First, we earned MTC and now we've added Denmark to the U.K., Belgium, and Poland as MQ-9B customers in Europe. I believe the extensive waters of the North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and Baltic Sea of the Nordic countries make the MQ-9B a very effective tool for national maritime surveillance and security."MQ-9B SkyGuardian is the first and only unmanned system to offer multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) as an internal payload that can search the ocean's surface and its depths in support of Fleet Operations.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - July 22, 2025) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") reports the analyses of five samples of antimony (stibnite) and gold-rich mineralized material taken from a historical mine stockpile at the Company's 100% owned past producing West Gore antimony-gold project ("West Gore" or "the Project") located in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada. These samples were collected as part of efforts to characterize the historical deposit to optimize initial exploration methods. These high-grade results support the documented grades of material historically mined between 1914-1917 when West Gore was one of Canada's most significant antimony producers during World War One, to support the allied war effort. These results complement the announcement on July 8, 2025 that the Company had identified new drill targets extending well beyond the area of previous mining, plans to commence a drill program are currently being finalized.Historical Stockpile Sample Highlights:Highest grade sample returned 40.6 percent (%) Antimony and 106.5 Grams Per Tonne (gpt) in sample 247228 (Antimony samples ranged from 2.12% to 40.6%, gold samples ranged from 11.75 gpt to 106.5 gptAdditional high-grade antimony results included 23.5% and 18.1% in samples 247230 and 247232, respectivelyAdditional high-grade gold results included 27.4 gpt and 25.8 gpt in samples 247232 and 247230, respectivelyAverage antimony results over all five samples of 17.94%Average gold results over all five samples of 34.68 gpt3 high priority drill targets that were never previously identified will be drill tested in an upcoming work programScott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals, stated: "The recent samples collected of up to 40.6% antimony seen in massive stibnite, the mineral that hosts antimony, from our project area have returned some spectacular results, reinforcing our exploration plan to commence drilling. With additional exploration, we can further unlock the potential of our asset and, play a strategic role in the critical minerals supply chain at a time when secure, domestic sources of antimony are in growing demand. Today's results also demonstrate the gold values that could be an important by-product or co-product as we prepare to drill. We are extremely encouraged by the high antimony and gold grades of these five specimens from the past producing mine at our Nova Scotia project. We look forward to advancing this discovery through further exploration and unlocking its full value for our shareholders. Nova Scotia's government, led by Environment Minister Tim Halman, has announced updates to the approval process for metal-mining projects aimed at accelerating timelines. In summary, the new rules are designed to streamline mining approvals and benefit industry progress."Summary of Results:Historical documentation reports that 32,000 metric tons were mined at West Gore in turn producing 7,000 metric tons of concentrate grading 46% antimony yielding 3,220 metric tons of antimony metal, and 6,861 ounces of gold (source: NI 43-101 Technical Report for the West Gore Sb-Au Project, May 25, 2021, prepared by M.S. King, PGeo & M.C. Corey PGeo, May 25, 2021, for Battery Elements Corp). This indicates recovered grades of 10.06% antimony and 0.21 ounces per ton (6.5 gpt) gold, historically. Historical mining was both small-scale and selective, almost certainly enhanced by hand sorting at surface prior to processing. Commercial production ceased in 1917.Table 1 below displays the analytical results for antimony and gold from the five samples. Antimony varies from a low of 2.12 to a high of 40.6%, for an average of 17.94%; gold varies from a low of 11.75 to a high of 106.5 gpt, for an average of 34.68 gpt (uncapped). These grades support the accuracy of historical documentation of mined grades. Of mineralogical interest is the fact that two of the samples, 247230 and 247231, ran 2.01 and 2.81% lead, respectively.Table 1: Sample ResultsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/259593_6c12fb9e645578af_001full.jpgNote: Grab samples are selective by nature and samples visually estimated to be high-grade were intentionally selected for characterization in this exercise. The results presented in this news release should not be considered overall representative of the historically exploited West Gore deposit or the stockpile from which they were chosen. The historical nature of this stockpile is unknown.Image 1: Sample 247228 Demonstrating Massive StibniteTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/259593_6c12fb9e645578af_002full.jpgQuality Assurance and Quality Control:The samples were analyzed at the laboratories of ALS Canada in Vancouver. Samples were crushed, split, ground, split, and a 35 gram portion subjected to a four-acid digestion followed by Induction Coupled Plasma ("ICP") - Mass Spectrometry ("MS") analysis. Over-limit samples for gold and antimony (all five of them) were analyzed by fire assay and ICP- Atomic Emission Spectrometry ("AES") analysis, respectively. Internal Quality Assurance - Quality Control protocols were followed by the lab including blanks, standards, and duplicates to ensure analytical accuracy.Mining History and Geology of the Region:Gold in Nova Scotia was first discovered in 1860, which led to gold rushes throughout many parts of the province over the years following. Gold production in the Rawdon hills began in 1884 and continued until 1932 from several mines. Gold deposits of Nova Scotia's Meguma Terrane typically occur as relatively shallow-dipping, bedding-parallel "saddle reef" type vein systems controlled by regional fold structures. Gold deposits of the Rawdon area, which is found at the east edge of West Gore, are uniquely characterized by the occurrence of steeply east-dipping gold-bearing veins striking north-northwest across bedding. The Government of Nova Scotia's Mineral Occurrence Database reports that historical production from the Rawdon Hills area mines totaled 13,494 ounces. Antimony is a common accessory element in many gold mines around the world, occasionally occurring in higher concentrations.The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by David Murray PGeo, President and Principal Consultant of Resourceful Geoscience Solutions Inc. of Halifax, Nova Scotia, a consultant to the Company, and qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
