Scandium has been incorporated into the Mineral Resource Estimate and under current processing constraints, is limited to 12.5% of tailings using internally generated acid. The scandium resource is estimated at 76 Mt Measured and Indicated at 28.8 g/t Sc (containing 2,189 tonnes of scandium) and 63 Mt Inferred at 28.7 g/t Sc (containing 1,808 tonnes of scandium).Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 25, 2026) - Doubleview Gold Corp (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the update of the Mineral Resource estimate (MRE) of its 100%-owned polymetallic Hat porphyry project (Hat), in northwestern British Columbia. With major content of copper, gold, cobalt and silver, as well as scandium, Hat becomes an important source of critical minerals.Farshad Shirvani, president and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp commented, "Year by year, the size of the deposit was increased by very targeted drilling, bringing it to a footprint of about 1.6 km by 1.6 km. I appreciate my technical and management team in this endeavour. We've discovered numerous additional elements within the Hat deposit that will soon be unveiled, each further showcasing the deposit's uniqueness and enhancing the resource."Summary of MRE for Hat Deposit:Table 1: Hat MRE at a 0.2% CuEq Cut-Off Effective February 4, 2026,(Base-Case Scenario to be Presented in the Technical Report)Mineral Resource ClassificationTonnage(Mt)Average GradeMetal ContentCuEq(%)Cu(%)Au(g/t)Co(%)Ag(g/t)CuEq(Blb)Cu(Blb)Au(Moz)Co(Mlb)Ag(Moz)Measured2720.440.220.180.0080.372.611.111.4135.62.17Indicated3370.430.210.190.0080.393.211.311.8144.52.88Total M+I6090.430.210.180.0080.385.822.423.2280.15.05Inferred5030.410.180.190.0080.384.571.722.7766.24.19 Table 2: Hat MRE at a 0.2% CuEq Cut-Off as of February 4, 2026, Scandium Oxide ResourcesMineral Resource ClassificationTonnage(Mt)Sc Tonnage1(Mt)Average GradeSc (g/t)Metal ContentSc2O3 2 (t)Measured2723428.791,081Indicated3374228.761,334Total M+I6097628.772,415Inferred5036328.691,996 Notes: 1 Scandium tonnages represent 12.5% of the mineralized material by category, reflecting the proportion of tailings expected to be processed through a dedicated scandium leach circuit under current metallurgical design constraints.2 Scandium oxide metal content have been calculated using the metallurgical recovery of 72% and conversion factor from Sc to Sc2O3 of 1.534. Mineit's Qualified Person, Tomasz Wawruch, FAusIMM, completed the MRE, and has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure related to the MRE contained in this news release. Mr. Wawruch is a senior geology and mineral resource consultant independent of Doubleview. Mr. Gilles Arseneau, PhD., P.Geo., of ARSENEAU Consulting Services Inc., provided an independent review of this MRE.Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014), and CIM MRMR Best Practice Guidelines (2019).The effective date of the MRE is February 4, 2026.Metal contents have been calculated using the following metallurgical recovery factors: Cu = 85%, Au = 89%, Co = 78%, and Ag = 68%.Economic assumptions used include US$4.80/lb Cu, US$20.00/lb Co, US$3,200/oz Au, US$46/oz Ag, and a 2% NSR royalty.Mineral Resources are reported within optimized open pit constraints and 0.2% CuEq cut-off grade, based on a C$7.93/t milled processing cost and C$2.90/t milled general and administrative cost, with a mining cost of C$3.01/t plus incremental mining cost increasing by C$0.015/t for every bench below the reference level of 1,125 mRL.CuEq calculations do not include scandium. The formula used to calculate CuEq is: CuEq = [(((Ag × 46.0 × 0.68)/31.1035) + ((Au × 3200 × 0.89)/31.1035) + 0.0001 × (Co × 20.0 × 0.78 × 22.0462) + 0.0001 × (Cu × 4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85))/(4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85)], where all input variables are expressed in (ppm) and CuEq is expressed in percent (%).Rounding may result in minor variations between individual values and totals; such differences are not considered material to the MRE.Mineral Resource classification reflects the level of geological confidence and satisfies the uncertainty criteria appropriate for exploration and resource development. Additional drilling will be required to reduce uncertainty to the level expected for production planning. The MRE reflects the geological interpretation, drill-hole spacing, and estimation parameters available at the time of modelling. Any additional drilling is expected to influence the current outcome by improving confidence in the estimates and refining the geometry of the mineralized domains.The Mineral Resource results are presented in situ within the optimized pit. Mineralized material outside the pit has not been considered as a part of the current MRE tabulation. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes, g/t).A total of 97 diamond drill holes, comprising 49,548 m of core, were incorporated into the Mineral Resource Estimate. All drilling data used in the MRE were subject to standard QA/QC validation prior to inclusion.The block model is defined relative to a model origin at UTM Zone 9N 346,750 E / 6,453,000 N / 0 (NAD 83). Parent blocks measure 15 × 15 × 15 m, totalling 136 × 150 × 75 blocks across extents of 2,040 m (X), 2,250 m (Y), and 1,125 m (Z). All volumes and estimates are constrained by these discretization parameters.

HONG KONG, Feb 25, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Champion Real Estate Investment Trust (Stock Code: 2778), which owns Three Garden Road and Langham Place properties, announced its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025.HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2025 ANNUAL RESULTS- Improved macro environment with gradual recovery in property market confidence: Benefiting from the recovery in capital markets, tourism rebound and interest rate drop, market sentiment improved in 2025, laying the foundation for commercial property recovery.- Portfolio resilience maintained: Despite the challenging operating environment with abundant office supply and shifting consumer behaviour, the Trust maintained stable occupancy rates for both office and retail properties, with Langham Place Mall maintaining a high occupancy rate of 99.3%.- Capital market recovery drives an upturn in Central office leasing activity: Leasing momentum at Three Garden Road warmed up in the second half of 2025 with site inspections increasing by 61% year-on-year. Over 75% of leases expiring in 2026 have been renewed ahead of maturity.- Proactive tenant-mix management and IP-led strategy reinforce trendsetting positioning: In 2025, Langham Place Mall strengthened its trendsetting credentials by introducing a range of trendy and lifestyle brands. Newly introduced tenants achieved sales 80% higher than previous operators, while pop-up stores tied to major marketing campaigns delivered triple-digit sales growth.- Langham Place Office Tower continues to elevate its market competitiveness: The property deepened its premier wellness hub positioning through the "6D Wellness" channel, achieving 4.6 million cumulative social media views, and pioneered Hong Kong's inaugural "Quality Service Charter" with support from over 90% of wellness tenants, further strengthening its position as an industry-leading wellness centre.- Prudent financial management: All debt facilities maturing in 2025 were successfully refinanced, and HK$1.5 billion of banking facilities have been secured for early refinancing debt due in 2026. And lower average Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) in 2025 resulted in meaningful interest savings.Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT, said, “2026 marks the 20th anniversary of Champion REIT, signifying an important milestone in the Trust's evolution from a single Central Grade A office asset to a diversified portfolio of landmark properties. In a challenging market environment, the Trust continues to demonstrate business resilience through prudent asset management and flexible strategic direction. Our consistent management focus is clear and targeted: while maintaining occupancy rates and enhancing income quality, we ensure financial stability. Over the past year, the Trust has made substantial progress in all these areas. Through proactive and orderly financial management, we ensure the Trust operates steadily through the current cycle."She added, "As new Central Grade A office supply is gradually absorbed by the market, supply-demand conditions are expected to stabilise from 2027 onwards. Champion REIT has established favourable conditions to capture future market recovery opportunities. Looking ahead, we will continue to play the role of ‘Super Connector’ and ‘Super Value-Adder’, fostering collaboration among tenants, partners and the community, combining innovative thinking with rigorous execution to create sustainable long-term value for stakeholders across different market environments.”Summary of financial results FY 2025FY 2024ChangeTotal Rental Income (HK$ million)1,9882,185- 9.0%Net Property Income (HK$ million)1,6131,820- 11.4%Distributable Income (HK$ million)859958- 10.4%Distribution per Unit (HK$)0.12630.1422- 11.2%  31 Dec 202531 Dec 2024ChangeGross Value of Portfolio (HK$ million)56,17960,104- 6.5%Net Asset Value per Unit (HK$)6.457.16- 9.9%Gearing Ratio25.4%23.7%+ 1.7 pp OPERATING REVIEWMarket OverviewDespite ongoing global macroeconomic volatility arising from trade uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, market sentiment in Hong Kong rebounded solidly in 2025. The recovery was supported by a strengthening stock market, steady growth in inbound tourism and an increasing number of mega-events. These improvements were further underpinned by a considerable decline in the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate ("HIBOR"), which boosted homeowner disposable income and lowered corporate borrowing costs.However, the operating environment for the Trust remained challenging. Abundant office supply in the market continued to weigh on market rents, while the retail market is undergoing structural adjustment due to evolving consumer behaviour and a sustained increase in outbound travel by local residents. Against this backdrop, asset quality becomes even more critical, underscoring the importance of proactively optimising the tenant mix to navigate cyclical volatility.Three Garden RoadThe leasing momentum of Central Grade A office strengthened starting the third quarter of 2025 with increasing net absorption. Demand was supported by the upswing in initial public offerings ("IPOs") and solid equity market performance with higher daily turnover. Expansion and pre-leasing commitment of sizable areas by financial institutions signalled confidence in the market outlook. The active capital market activities also created spillover effect for other sectors with notable leasing transactions of relocation and expansion from the legal sector in particular.Leasing activity at Three Garden Road strengthened in 2025. Site inspections in second half of 2025 increased by 61% year-on-year, resulting in several new tenants from the asset management and family office sectors. Occupancy remained stable at 81.6% (31 December 2024: 82.6%), with space vacated by departing occupants largely backfilled by new leases and expansions from existing tenants. Our proactive retention strategy continued to deliver results, securing renewals for over 75% of 2026 expiring leases, thereby enhancing stability and forward visibility.Langham Place Office TowerLangham Place Office continued to deepen its differentiated positioning as a premier hub for wellness and lifestyle offerings. By expanding the “6D Wellness” ecosystem, the property enhanced tenant engagement and broadened its digital reach, with the wellness channel surpassing 4.6 million cumulative views across major social media platforms. With the launch of the Social Wellness Hall, and in collaboration with the Hong Kong Retail Management Association to introduce Hong Kong’s first “Quality Service Charter” for wellness practitioners, which received support from over 90% of wellness tenants, the property further strengthened its market profile as a premium hub for wellness services.Amid a challenging office market, Langham Place Office Tower adopted a prudent yet proactive leasing strategy, continuing to attract healthcare, medical and beauty operators while fostering industry clustering and complementarities. These efforts enhanced the diversity and resilience of the tenant mix, further reinforcing the property’s positioning as a leading destination for premium wellness and healthcare services. It remains a premier choice for location-sensitive businesses, maintaining a stable occupancy rate of 86.9% (31 December 2024: 87.2%).Langham Place MallHong Kong’s retail market began to recover and gain momentum following the Golden Week in May in 2025. Supported by the influx of visitors and a vibrant calendar of mega-events, total retail sales resumed growth after more than a year of contraction. For the full year, overall retail sales in Hong Kong increased by 1.0% year-on-year, driven primarily by a 12.8% rise in online sales. Against the backdrop of evolving consumer patterns, overall sales at Langham Place Mall saw a mild adjustment. Nevertheless, proactive tenant-mix optimisation delivered strong results, with the lifestyle category recording double-digit sales growth.Marking the 20th anniversary of its opening, Langham Place Mall strengthened both leasing and marketing efforts during the year. More than 30 new brands were introduced, including the first overseas branch of Chiikawa Ramen Buta, which generated significant attention and successfully boosted footfall. Upholding the spirit of “WOW! WE PLAY”, the mall continued to advance its “Stay Local, Trend Global” strategy, leveraging year-round promotional campaigns and anniversary celebrations to reinforce its leadership position as a trendsetting retail destination. Occupancy remained high at 99.3%.New tenants surpassed previous operators by an average of 80% in sales, while pop-up stores tied to major marketing campaigns achieved triple-digit sales growth, reflecting the strong synergy between brand partnerships and content-driven activations. In addition, the introduction of themed experiences and designer events on Levels 9 to 12 successfully revitalised historically lower-traffic floors, stimulating cross-floor spending, enhancing spatial efficiency, and generating incremental non-traditional revenue. These initiatives have enabled the mall to demonstrate sustained resilience and competitiveness amid a rapidly evolving retail landscape.SustainabilityThe Trust continued to embed sustainability deeply into its asset management strategy, with a strong focus on environmental stewardship, health and well-being, and community engagement.
