HONG KONG, Apr 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In recent years, with the launch of top-level design for nuclear medicines and the implementation of supporting policies, the domestic nuclear medicine industry has ushered in a golden period of development. According to the data analysis of BCC Research, there will be a growth in the global nuclear medicine market from $12.6 billion in 2023 to $21 billion by the end of 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.29% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2029. Meanwhile, Medraysintell, a market intelligence agency specializing in radiotherapy and nuclear medicine, predicts that there will be a growth of about $30 billion in the global nuclear medicine market in 2030.As a leading nuclear medicine company in China, CIRC (01763.HK) recently disclosed its annual report for 2024 as of December 31st. In 2024, CIRC achieved a remarkable growth in revenue and net profit, which not only delivered a satisfactory answer on the performance level, but also showed a strong technical transformation capability in nuclear medicine research and development.Year-by-year growth facilitated nuclear medical equipment to become a new engineAccording to the financial data, CIRC achieved revenue of RMB 7.575 billion in 2024, with a year-on-year increase of 14.2%, and the net profit of RMB 880 million, with a year-on-year increase of 13.3%.From the perspective of branch business, all fields have blossomed in an all-round way. As the core pillar of the company, the nuclear medicine business achieved revenue of RMB 4.168 billion, accounting for 55% of the total revenue. Among them, the income of imaging diagnosis and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals increased by 4.1% year-on-year, and the distribution of medical centers all over the country achieved remarkable results. The income of Technetium-labeled medicines increased by 8.7% year-on-year. The breath test business continued to maintain a stable high market share, achieving revenue of RMB 2.35 billion, by a year-on-year increase of 1.1%.It is worth noting that in 2024, CIRC accelerated the localization of high-end radiotherapy equipment, and nuclear medical equipment and related services became the new engine of growth, with revenue reaching RMB 1.223 billion, a year-on-year increase of 31.0%. The new generation of Precision radiation therapy planning system was successfully approved for medical device registration certificate, and the world’s first spiral tomotherapy system, Tomo C, was delivered to Shandong Cancer Hospital for installation, which was successfully selected intothe 2024 high-end medical equipment promotion and application project of two ministries and commissions (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology/National Health Commission) and Tianjin First (Set) Major Technical Equipment Promotion and Application Guidance Catalog (Version 2024), with sales during the year leading in the domestic market.CIRC recorded RMB 716.1 million in revenue from radioactive source products, representing a year-on-year increase of 22.2%. Gamma knife source and non-destructive testing radioactive source continued to maintain a stable and high market share. CNNC Qinshan Isotope successfully obtained the Class A radiation safety license, and the cobalt-60 radioactive source production line delivered 2 million curies.40-year solid accumulation in nuclear technology laid a solid foundationAs the main body of the nuclear technology application industry of CNNC, CIRC has been accumulated in the industry for over 40 years, forming a “6+N” industrial layout with six major businesses as the core, including nuclides, nuclear medicines, nuclear medical equipment, integrated solution for nuclear medicine, radioactive source and application, and irradiation application. During the Reporting Period, CIRC achieved 224 patent authorizations, with a total of 969 valid patents, and continued to maintain the leading position of the R&D investment intensity in the industry.In the field of nuclear medicine research and development, CIRC has demonstrated a strong technical capability from research results turned into technologies. Sodium fluorine-18 injection obtained the drug registration certificate from the National Medical Products Administration and was approved for marketing, filling the market gap of PET diagnostic imaging agent in the field of bone imaging in China. Iodine-131-MIBG injection is close to the end of Phase III clinical trial. After the drug is launched, it will provide a new diagnostic method for neuroendocrine tumors such as pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma. It is worth noting that CIRC has proactively laid out integrated diagnosis and treatment drugs, and the research and development of Lutetium-177oxyoctreotide injection is progressing smoothly, marking a strategic upgrade from simple diagnosis to precise diagnosis and treatment.In addition to stabilizing the base of nuclear medicine, CIRC has gradually increased its emphasis on nuclear medical equipment. According to the sales data in recent years, the income of nuclear medical equipment has steadily increased. In 2024, a new generation of Gamma Knife was approved, which integrated CBCT image guidance, six-dimensional bed auto-correction, and other intelligent technologies, and the treatment efficiency was improved by 30%. In the Class A large-scale medical equipment market, CIRC occupies an absolute dominant position through its holding subsidiary, CNNC ACCURAY. In February this year, 19 of the 28 high-end radiotherapy equipment in the second round of Class A large-scale medical equipment licensing list released by the National Health Commission came from CNNC ACCURAY, accounting for 68% of the market. It is worth noting that the breakthroughs in the fields of Cobalt-60-based Stereotactic Therapy System also promote the localization of radiotherapy equipment.Facing the explosive growth of the nuclear medicine market, CIRC Accelerated Pharmaceutical Center continues to expand its nationwide network layout. In 2024, a new positron emission drug production line has been added in Lanzhou, with a total of 23 lines put into operation; Newly added Fuzhou Technetium Drug Production Line, with a total of 27 units put into operation. CIRC has built the first 10,000 Curie level lutetium-177 production line and a thousand level germanium-gallium [68Ge-68Ga] generator production line in the country, achieving a breakthrough in the localization of high-end nuclides.It is worth noting that CIRC has created a hierarchical innovation ecosystem through the "Parent-Subsidiary Collaboration" model. In 2024, its subsidiaries, CNNC HEADWAY (breath test) and CNNC Chengdu Gaotong (nuclide), were awarded the national level specialized, refined, and new "little giants" enterprise, bringing the total number of specialized, refined, and new enterprises under CIRC to 18. Among them, CNNC HEADWAY dominates the breath testing market with its integrated solution of "medicine box+instrument", while CNNC Chengdu Gaotong has become a benchmark in the field of nuclear technology application through its full chain layout of "Nuclide-Drug-Equipment". This innovative system, resembling an "Aircraft carrier battle group", provides sustainable momentum for the company's long-term growth.Expanding Development Space with Globalization LayoutAs the main force of CNNC Group's march towards people's life and health science and technology and the main channel for the transformation of advanced nuclear science and technology achievements, CIRC responds to the Group's "Overall&Coordination" internationalization strategy and the national "the Belt and Road" initiative, vigorously promotes the internationalization strategy and constantly expands overseas markets. By 2024, the export revenue will reach RMB 627 million, and the products will be exported to dozens of countries and regions such as Brazil, Peru, and Nigeria.At the beginning of this year, we successfully signed a contract for the supply of equipment for a million curies design source gamma irradiation station in Bangladesh. This is another equipment supply project for irradiation stations that has landed after winning the bid for the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture's design source gamma irradiation station project in 2024. After its completion and operation, the irradiation station will mainly serve the irradiation sterilization of medical products in Bangladesh, significantly improving the quality level and production processing capacity of local medical products, assisting the development of Bangladesh's medical industry, and benefiting local people's livelihoods.In Nigeria, CIRC successfully signed a contract for the overall supply of nuclear medical equipment, achieving the first successful landing of the Group's nuclear medical equipment overall supply project. In addition, CIRC actively expands into the ASEAN market and successfully exports cold chain drugs to Thailand; We have also signed strategic cooperation agreements with multiple entities in Brazil to support the signing of a memorandum of understanding on strategic cooperation in the field of nuclear technology applications between the National Atomic Energy Agency and Brazil.ConclusionAgainst the backdrop of policy support and sustained market demand, CIRC stated to focus on the "Do as the Demard of the Country" and further deepen the coordinated development of nuclear medicine and high-end equipment around the "Healthy China" strategic framework.

Integrating technologies and capabilities, along with a holistic perspective on agricultural evolution, are essential for moving beyond incremental improvements. Scale and visibility, both of which are key aspects of this transaction, are crucial to achieving this goal. Bioceres is enthusiastic to be part of a larger, more ambitious Moolec, one that expands its focus from science in food ingredients to a comprehensive ‘cradle-to-cradle' approach."Juan Sartori, Founder and Chairman of Union Group remarked: "This is not just a strategic alignment of businesses, it's the creation of a new kind of company for the 21st century. By combining science, scale, and sustainability, Moolec is positioned to lead a global transformation in how we produce food, materials, and energy. I'm proud to support this vision and the exceptional teams bringing it to life."Following the closing of the Business Combination, Moolec will become uniquely positioned in the agricultural value-chain, with a powerful and validated technology discovery and development engine that can address in a cost-competitive way multiple upstream and downstream needs. Moolec's new value proposition will be centered around modifying or improving seeds and microbes to positively impact the way we utilize land and water resources, while preserving and/or improving human health.Alejandro Antalich, Chairman of Synbio Powerlabs® added: "This combination marks a defining moment for the bioeconomy. By integrating next-gen ingredients, biological ag solutions, and deep-tech manufacturing capabilities under one roof, we are building a company with unmatched scientific depth and commercial reach. Together, we aim to accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable and resilient food system, one that works in harmony with nature, rather than against it."As stated in their most recent annual reports, the companies and brands, which will be controlled or co-controlled by Moolec at the closing of the Business Combination, manage a portfolio of more than 800 patents (or patent applications) and over 550 product registrations, which translates into more than half a billion dollars of goods and services sold in their last fiscal year, to customers in more than 50 different countries.José López Lecube, CFO and Director of Moolec commented: "This transformative transaction marks a new stage for Moolec, positioning the company for growth within a broader organization that facilitates synergies on multiple levels. Becoming part of a larger organization will enable cost efficiencies and significant revenue increase as well as product portfolio diversification. It will also enlarge our investor base, providing the company with new stakeholders who support Moolec's new and more diversified business."Finally, as reported Mr. Gastón Paladini will step down as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Director and Chairman of the Board, effective immediately following Moolec's Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") to be held on April 22, 2025.Key highlights:Ingredient Innovation: Moolec will continue to develop its flagship molecular farming products such as Piggy Sooy™ and GLASO™, while integrating Mycofood™ under the Eternal® brand from Nutrecon.Biological Ag Expansion: Through Bioceres Group, Moolec will now offer upstream technologies for regenerative agriculture, including biological inputs and climate-resilient seeds like Rizobacter®, ProFarm®, and the HB4® trait.Advanced R&D and Services: Leveraging expanded infrastructure, Moolec will offer R&D, CDMO, and regulatory services under the Agrality® and Synbio Powerlabs® brands, which are controlled or co-controlled by Bioceres Group and Nutrecon, respectively.Emerging Tech & Equipment: The Company will also expand its reach into emerging technologies for grain and biomass transformation, especially in the biomaterials space, as well as new concepts on farm equipment, integrating material science, electric mobility, and autonomy. These emerging opportunities are being pursued by Gentle Tech and Bioceres Group subsidiaries.Operational Synergies: The Business Combination is expected to result in significant cost synergies and an integrated management structure, which will be presented at or prior to closing of the Business Combination.Timing and ApprovalsThe Business Combination was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of all the entities participating in the deal. It is expected to close during the second quarter of 2025 or thereafter, and it is subject to finalizing Moolec's reverse stock split process and re-domicile to the Cayman Islands among other customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. This includes the approval by Moolec's shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders of proposals relating to the Business Combination. Given that the transaction was originally proposed by about 70% of Moolec's current shareholders, the Company expects strong shareholder support for the Business Combination approval.The Business Combination will be consummated through an equity exchange. Bioceres Group's shareholders will surrender their share ownership in Bioceres Group and will receive in exchange up to 80,590,280 shares of Moolec.

Saudi Arabia, Apr 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CFOs in the digital era do more than just run the financial operations of the organization: They now also sit atop the organization where they lead the charge toward financial digitization. CFOs have an eminent role to play here in driving process standardization and automation efforts and ensuring that their organizations on board with technologies such as RPA, AI, and machine learning. With the continuous advancement of these technologies, however, the CFO is left wrestling with the issue of assessing critically which of these instruments would add real value and which ones are simply trends. A CFO should confirm that he or she does not show any biases and will also use sound judgment in arriving at decisions with respect to new technologies rather than blindly following the latest fad. Achieving this balance while navigating a dynamic environment is the major challenge of today's CFO: the technocrat should balance the adoption of technology with corporate foresight, with the understanding that innovation should facilitate long-term financial goals and operational efficiency.In the Middle East, there’s a growing misunderstanding about the roles of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs), which is creating challenges for effective financial leadership and overall business performance.

Trade attendees gathered in anticipation for the opening day of IASEA 2025.SINGAPORE, Apr 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The 8th edition of inter airport Southeast Asia (IASEA) was held in Singapore from 25-27 March 2025. Spanning across 6,259 sqm of exhibition space, the airport exhibition and conference brought together 3,621 industry trade professionals from 53 countries and regions, and featured 134 exhibiting companies including pavilions representing Germany, Italy, Japan and Singapore.The event saw a 43% increase in exhibitor size and a 15.6% rise in attendee numbers, underscoring the rising significance of IASEA as a platform for productive discussions. The event's achievement is also attributed to the increasing demands of operators and the rapid development and expansion of airports in Asia.The landmark event in Asia featuring the latest innovations and solutions for airportsIASEA serves as the dedicated event for airports, airlines, aviation authorities, ground handlers and related business executives in Asia to learn about and experience the latest products, services and technologies, for the future development of Asia’s airports.One of the highlights of this year’s edition was the presence of a delegation of leaders from major international airports in Vietnam, including Long Thanh International Airport—one of the world's most expensive greenfield airport projects—Noi Bai Airport, Danang Airport, Cat Bi Airport, Phu Quoc Airport, and Cam Ranh International Terminal.One of Airports Corporation of Vietnam’s (ACV) primary objectives in the coming years is the successful completion and operation of Long Thanh International Airport. Under the direction of the Prime Minister of Vietnam, the presence of ACV’s delegation at IASEA 2025 was to seek high-quality solutions and potential partners for this airport. Mr. Nguyen Cao Cuong, Deputy General Director, Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), shared during his opening remarks, “Vietnam, as one of the fastest-growing aviation markets in the world, is actively developing key airport infrastructure projects to meet the increasing demand for air transport. This event is not only an opportunity to explore the latest advancements in aviation technology but also serves as a platform for collaboration and exchange, fostering stronger partnerships to enhance airport infrastructure across Southeast Asia."Attendees explored innovative airport solutions on the IASEA 2025 exhibition floor.First-time exhibitor Thales participated to expand business opportunities with regional aviation players and introduce solutions such as its latest Fly-to-Gate biometrics solution that enables a touchless, fast, and easy passenger journey from check-in to boarding. Thales commented, “Air traffic has fully recovered since the pandemic years. The increase of major projects and the prioritisation of data (data management, data sharing, data security) from airport decision-makers have grown vastly within the industry. At Thales, we recognise that data will improve efficiency in airport operations – namely terminal operations, aircraft turnaround, passenger flow – beyond what hardware can achieve. However, these advancements also come with challenges, including cybersecurity and leveraging data while keeping airport operations human-centric. Our participation at the conference and exhibition of IASEA 2025 allowed us to connect and engage in discussions with several airport and aviation representatives. We were also able to share Thales’ expertise in airport operations and security, cybersecurity resilience, and biometric solutions, all for a seamless passenger experience.”Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, introduced the SDX 10060 XDi to the Asia market – a leading-edge X-ray scanner that offers highly accurate material discrimination and substance identification based on an object’s molecular structure. “We are glad to be back at IASEA, a key platform for us to showcase our latest solutions and connect with both customers and prospects because the show attracts aviation leaders from across the region,” said Desmond Lian, Senior Solutions Consultant, Smiths Detection (Asia Pacific) Pte. Ltd. “It was especially meaningful to reconnect with major airports such as Narita International Airport Corporation, as we discuss each other’s long-term plans and areas of collaboration. Such conversations make me hopeful for stronger integration of AI and security systems across the air and land side of the aviation industry. I hope to see the development of an architecture platform where different industry players can share and communicate data, and tackle cybersecurity issues as an ecosystem.”Additionally, Mallaghan, one of the fastest-growing airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE) manufacturers (headquartered in Ireland and with a worldwide presence), returned to the 8th edition of IASEA 2025. Niall Mallaghan, Director at Mallaghan, shared, “IASEA has always been one of our go-to exhibitions for the Asia Pacific region because of the opportunities to meet leading suppliers and our customers such as dnata and SATS. While the industry traditionally relied on diesel-powered GSE, Mallaghan, together other industry leaders, have recognised the impact of electrifying ground handling equipment as an effective route towards greener aviation. At Mallaghan, we strive to enable airports to reach their sustainability goals by working closely with the ground handlers.”Conversations that focused on resilient, data-driven airportsIn line with this year’s theme, “Airport Operations for Tomorrow”, the conference and exhibition floor saw timely conversations on the use of technology – more specifically, data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) – to drive resilient airports of tomorrow. “With the ever-increasing complexities of running an airport, the chances of something going awry also rise significantly.  Thus, keeping airport operations resilient is paramount,” said David Jea, GM, Safety, Security & Business Continuity, Airport Authority Hong Kong. “As a conference speaker of this year’s IASEA, I’m thankful for the opportunity to engage with peers on aviation security, and the exposure to the full range of innovations for airport operations, with my greatest harvest being the appreciation of technology for optimised operations. The airports of tomorrow necessitate industry players to use AI and other technologies effectively, ensuring the solutions adopted are advanced and secure, workers are trained with more proficient skill sets, and the industry continues to attract professionals.”Industry experts at one of the IASEA 2025 terminal operations panels ‘Future-Proofing Airport Security: Balancing Safety, Technology & Passenger Experience’As of 2024, Asia Pacific holds over 40% of the global aircraft orders, signifying a strong focus on fleet investment and renewal for the region. Ensuring airports keep up with this projected regional growth, the panel titled ‘Using Data Analytics to Optimise Airport Operations’ dived into the challenges and opportunities of harnessing data analytics to drive innovation and ensure sustainable growth in airport operations. Industry leaders acknowledged that airports typically generate a wealth of live data that can help to enhance the passenger experience. However, a core challenge is in utilising this data – the industry is looking to integrate all data on a single system for real-time processing, while ensuring security measures are in place in the face of cyber threats. Separately, on the ground handling side, the conference panel ‘Boosting Operational Resilience: Preparing for the Unexpected’ gave a comprehensive overview of how ground handling teams can build robust operations that withstand unforeseen challenges of equipment failures, staffing shortages, and extreme weather. Panellists emphasised the role of ground handlers in adapting to unique equipment and processes deployed across individual airports. Disruptions can come in many forms. Hence, it is imperative for the ground handlers to work closely with the airports (with diverse teams across different airports) to analyse big data, address the disruption, and re-instil confidence in passengers.inter airport SEA will return for its 9th edition in 2027, from 23-25 March.

HONG KONG, Apr 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The latest Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) jointly published by Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) today indicated broad-based improvement in business sentiment in the region for the first quarter of 2025.The GBAI “current performance” index for business activity rose to 53.5 in Q1 from 50.7 prior – the highest since Q2-2024. Six of the eight index components rose quarter-on-quarter, and all previous sub-50 underperformers rallied back above the neutral mark, namely “capacity utilisation” (+3.2pts), “raw material inventory” (+9.0pts), “financing scale” (+3.2pts) and “profits” (+3.1pts).The GBAI “expectations” index for business activity improved in tandem with its “current performance” counterpart, to 54.3 in Q1 from 52.9 in Q4-2024. Encouragingly, seven of eight expectation sub-indices rose quarter-on-quarter, led by a 3.1 percentage point increase in “profits” and a 2.8 percentage point increase in “raw material inventory”.All the city sub-indices, be it “current performance” or “expectations”, rose quarter-on-quarter, with Shenzhen being the only exception. Hong Kong extended its rising “current performance” streak to four straight quarters, to 53.5; its “expectations” index jumped to 56.9 – bested only by Guangzhou – from 50.8 prior. Guangzhou’s current and expectation prints stood at 60.3 and 58.0, respectively, the highest among cities.This showed that GBA companies weathered the initial rounds of US tariff hikes (10%+10%) well, in part thanks to the DeepSeek breakthrough lifting market sentiment as well as the rising prospect of more policy stimulus from China’s policymakers. However, respondents’ more-upbeat outlook in February-March (when the Q1 survey was conducted) likely did not prepare them for recent events – US’ announcement of sweeping and sizeable reciprocal tariff hikes on China and most other countries.Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered, said: “Given the urgency to stabilise market sentiment following the tariff-induced sell-off, the likelihood of China cutting the reserve requirement ratio and/or policy rate (7-day reverse repo rate) in April has materially increased. We expect that both monetary and fiscal policies on the Mainland will stay supportive. Meanwhile, Hong Kong would need to ramp up short-term support to SMEs and continue to diversify its trade to facilitate more non-US trade corridors. Our next survey, to be conducted in May-June, should provide a better view of the readiness of GBA businesses to live with high tariffs.”More consumption boosts welcomedLooking ahead, 41% of respondents saw a positive impact from the consumption boosting initiatives announced by China in January. Meanwhile, 38% said the consumer goods trade-in programme would bring positive impact on their business. When asked what else the government could do to expand the consumption-supportive measures, the most popular suggestion was “relax market access for private sector and foreign investment to help boost services consumption”.Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China Research Team), HKTDC, said: “Boosting domestic demand is one of the government’s top priorities, as highlighted in the Government Work Report delivered by Chinese Premier Li Qiang in March. More than 50% of respondents have indicated that they are either already well positioned to tap into the mainland consumer market or are currently expanding or planning to expand their operations to do so. Additional supportive measures from the government could further bolster their businesses.”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. It is compiled based on a survey of more than 1,000 companies in the GBA covering the manufacturing and trading, retail and wholesale, financial services, professional services and innovation and technology sectors. The index enables investors and businesses to better understand the current business climate, gauge future performance prospects and formulate their market strategies for the GBA.Related materialsStandard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index Report: https://www.sc.com/hk/gba/gba-index-report/HKTDC Research: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTk4MDY0MTYwOQ(From left) Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered, and Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China Research Team), HKTDC, announced the latest GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) today (15 April 2025). Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China Research Team), HKTDCMedia enquiriesCorporate Affairs DepartmentStandard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited Flora Chiu Tel: (852) 3843 2285 Email: flora.chiu@sc.com   Communications & Public Affairs DepartmentHKTDC Katy WongClayton Lauw    Tel: (852) 2584 4524Tel: (852) 2584 4472Email: katy.ky.wong@hktdc.orgEmail: clayton.y.lauw@hktdc.orgAbout Standard CharteredWe are a leading international banking group, with a presence in 53 of the world’s most dynamic markets.

Amended Agreement: Kincora Copper and AngloGold Ashanti sign a major amendment to their Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement ("Agreement") for a second joint venture in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt of the Macquarie Arc supporting total expenditures of up to $100 millionKey Highlights:Multiple-phase, multiple-year agreement covering the Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Mulla projectsStage 1: AngloGold Ashanti may earn a 70% interest by spending $25 millionStage 2: Option to increase to 80% with additional funding and/or studiesThe Agreement for two separate joint ventures cover a continuous strike greater than a 100km's and five projectsKincora remains the operator, receiving a 10% management feeAccelerated Drilling Plans: Expansion to ongoing drilling at the Nyngan project and a new drilling program to commence at the Nevertire and Nevertire South projectsStrong Funding Model: Over $110 million of potential asset level funding has been secured; further large-scale partnerships are under active negotiationKincora remains on track to achieve its ambition for third-party management fees to support a self funding financing modelMelbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - April 14, 2025) - Kincora Copper Limited (TSXV: KCC) (ASX: KCC) ("KCC", "Kincora" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the execution of a major amendment to its existing agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc ("AngloGold Ashanti"). The Agreement opens the way for more extensive exploration in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt ("NJNB") of the Macquarie Arc, Central West NSW, Australia. The NJNB is a globally significant exploration opportunity offering new district scale porphyry potential.First phase drilling at the Nyngan project is ongoing with activities initiated for initial drilling at the highly prospective Nevertire and Nevertire South projects, known for their geological similarities to major deposits like Cadia-Ridgeway.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented:"We are very pleased to broaden our partnership with AngloGold Ashanti. It comes as we continue to progress our ongoing exploration program at the Nyngan project, with a ground gravity survey and hole twelve of the scout drilling program recently completed. In the wake of this second earn-in our drilling plans have been materially expanded at Nevertire and Nevertire South, and now cover three projects. However, and more importantly, we are well positioned to systematically and aggressively advance a new district scale portfolio of five projects covering over 2350km2. The contiguous five projects cover a strike of greater than 100km, more than twice that of the emerging Vicuña district in the Central Andes, which is also an extension to a known world-class porphyry belt. The revised agreement is structured in a manner which supports Kincora shareholders being carried potentially to the equivalent stage of four pre-development recent discoveries in Vicuña that have a current valuation of over $10 billion. AngloGold Ashanti is a successful greenfield explorer and while we are only now ramping up our exploration activities with them, they have already invested over $14 million in the NJNB. We are both very excited about the targets being drilled across the first three Kincora projects in 2025.While Kincora has now unlocked over $110 million of potential partner funding we see ample scope to further significantly grow this figure. The Company is advancing discussions for further large-scale partner agreements and is on track to achieve its ambition for third party management fees to provide a self-funding financing exploration model."Figure 1: The Macquarie Arc is a proven Tier 1 terrane and Australia's foremost copper porphyry belt hosting a number of world-class minesThe Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) is a largely untested extension of the Macquarie Arc situated under the post-mineral coverTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/248376_kincoraimg1.jpgProject generator funding model Kincora's asset level partner model for its wholly owned large scale exploration stage porphyry projects, commonly referred to a project generator model in the North American markets, has now unlocked over $110 million of potential partner funding for eight earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects1. Existing partners include:AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) is the world's fourth largest gold miner by production and is partner for the NJNB project portfolio (including five projects across two joint venture arrangements) 1(a);Fleet Space Technologies Pty Ltd ("Fleet Space", private) is one of Australia's fastest growing companies and is widely recognised as Australia's leading space exploration company. Fleet Space recently raised $150m in a Series D financing. It is Kincora's partner for the Wongarbon project and recently completed its maiden integrated Ambient Noise Tomography and gravity geophysical survey at the Nyngan project 1(b,c);Earth AI Pty Ltd ("Earth AI", private), an Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning explorer. Earth AI recently raised $20m in a Series B financing and is partner for the Cundumbul project 1(d); and,Orbminco Limited (formerly Woomera Mining) is a Mongolian focused explorer and is partner for the Bronze Fox project 1(e).Kincora is the current operator of the NJNB project portfolio with AngloGold Ashanti and receives a 10% management fee of expenditure.Discussions are ongoing for further agreements for the Company's remaining four (and generally significantly more advanced and/or proximal to existing world-class mines) porphyry projects in NSW, including Fairholme, Jemalong, Trundle and Nyngan West.The Company plans to retain its Condobolin project, which hosts the historical Condobolin high grade open cut gold and base metals mining field situated within trucking distance to the Mineral Hill mine (which has capacity for, and is seeking, third party ore) and within the southern section of the emerging Cobar Superbasin. The timeline and capital needs to significantly add value and advance the Condobolin project is materially less than the Company's porphyry projects.Kincora's ambition is to be the operator for exploration budgets of over $10 million per annum for the porphyry portfolio providing sufficient project management fees for the Company to be self funding (covering corporate costs and maintenance of remaining wholly owned projects) and have partnerships with a diversified portfolio of industry leading producers/explorers.Nyngan, Nevertire and Nevertire South ProgramsA major amendment to the original Earn-in and Joint Venture agreement with AngloGold Ashanti now includes the Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Mulla projects, which are adjacent to the Nyngan and Nevertire projects (the latter two included in the original May 2024 agreement) and streamlines exploration across a continuous strike that exceeds a 100km's.Initial scout drilling activities at the Nyngan project commenced late last year and are ongoing. To date, twelve holes in total have been complete in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, and follows encouraging results for the first six holes completed in 4Q'20242.Looking ahead, a recently completed ground gravity survey covering over 400km2 has identified a number of new potential targets for drilling. Interpretations and discussions for potential follow up drilling are now underway with AngloGold Ashanti as the scout drilling program continues. Various coincident magnetic and new gravity anomalies have been identified at both the wider South West and Ace of Spades Targets.A Stage 2 follow up phase of step out drilling is proposed post completion of the scout drilling program.Under the amended agreement, planned exploration activities have been expanded to support a first phase drilling program at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South projects with unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km Nevertire Magmatic Complex ("NMC").Prior explorer drilling at the southern section of the NMC has returned anomalous copper-gold mineralisation, favourable fertility defined by green rock analysis, geochemical zonation and alteration suggestive of an outer porphyry system setting with age dates confirming a highly prospective Phase 4 Macquarie Arc intrusive complex (at approximately 220m depth down hole).Having secured three prior explorer drill holes at the NMC from the Cadia mine site, a review by Kincora's technical director John Holliday supports Newcrest prior interpretation that "drilling has identified lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 3. John is a foremost figure on Macquarie Arc porphyry systems having been a principal originator, discoverer and site manager for the Tier 1 Cadia gold-copper porphyry and the Marsden copper gold porphyry deposits.A priority for the upcoming drilling program is an initial follow up program to prior Newcrest hole ACDNY006 which returned a very encouraging intersection of anomalous copper mineralisation (from basement to end of hole), veining and magnetite alteration situated in a high volcanic-hosted level 3.Prior Newcrest drilling supports Kincora's view of the planned walk up drill targets within the Nevertire South project underpinning the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project within the NJNB district.A planned drilling program seeks to step out from hole ACDNY006 to discover or create a vectoring pattern to a possible deposit and also test open extensions to the NMC - see Figure 2.The drilling programs at the Nyngan, Nevertire and Nevertire South projects are expected to run into the third quarter of 2025, providing a steady stream of news flow and management fees to the Company.Key terms of the Earn-in and Joint Venture AgreementThe key terms of the amended agreement with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc, covering the Nyngan South (Exploration Licence 9708), Nevertire South (Exploration Licence 9710) and Mulla (Exploration License 9320) projects ("New Tenements"), are in addition to the arrangement in respect of the original May 2024 agreement for the Nyngan (Exploration Licence 8929) and Nevertire (Exploration Licence 8960) projects and, in summary, comprise:AngloGold may earn a 70% initial interest in the New Tenement by incurring $25 million in total expenditure on exploration in the initial earn-in period of up to seven years upon which a joint venture would be formed (Phase I). This includes a minimum expenditure of $2 million within the first two years (Minimum Obligation). AngloGold is permitted to withdraw from the Agreement after satisfying the Minimum Obligation or payment of any shortfall.AngloGold can then earn an additional 10% interest in the New Tenements (for a total interest of 80%) by completing a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) or by funding a further $25m of expenditure over an additional three years (Phase II).Kincora will initially operate and conduct all exploration activities as directed by an Exploration Management Committee that will comprise two members from each party, and be entitled to a 10% management fee.The amended agreement is otherwise on terms that are customary for similar agreements and includes the agreed principal terms of the proposed joint venture agreement that will apply if AngloGold earns an interest in the NJNB tenements.All expenditure timelines under the Agreement can be accelerated.The amendments to the existing agreement are conditional on Ministerial consent being obtained within six months.Refer to the May 28, 205 release "AngloGold Ashanti to earn-in to the NJNB Project" for details for the original Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement for the Nyngan and Nevertire projects.About the NJNB Project PortfolioThe Macquarie Arc is Australia's premier porphyry copper-gold province being a hotspot for recent corporate activity, with over $16 billion of M&A for producing assets and over $385m of exploration earn-in/joint ventures, and exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 4.Despite regional magnetics effectively mapping the Macquarie Arc volcanic belts, due to the post mineral cover there has been very limited prior drilling of the extensions of both the Junee-Narromine and Molong volcanic belts relative to the southern more outcropping sections. These more mature southern exploration regions host over 160Moz gold equivalent inventory 5 and a number of world-class mines (Cadia, Cowal and Northparkes).Kincora's portfolio and the wider NJNB offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with magnetics, gravity and new Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) surveys, supportive of large-scale targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern section of the Arc. AngloGold Ashanti has secured Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreements with both Kincora and Inflection Resources (Inflection, market capitalisation C$33.7 million, >4x Kincora's 6) covering ~10,000km2 within the NJNB with over A$14 million investment to date 7. In the last month AngloGold Ashanti has moved to Phase II of its earn-in agreement with Inflection designating a total of four projects to continue earning into (including two projects adjacent to Kincora's Nyngan project) 8 - see Figure 2.The most recent notable example of a new globally significant emerging porphyry district is the Vicuña district, which is also an extension of a renowned world-class porphyry belt. Vicuña is an extension of the central Andean belts in Argentina on the border of Chile and situated at over 4000m altitude.Within this district NGEx Resources Inc in 2009 held three early-stage exploration projects and at the time had a market capitalisation of approximately C$40 million 9. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded in four large-scale discoveries currently valued at over $10 billion 10.Kincora was an early mover into the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt, securing a district scale portfolio of the interpreted most prospective and shallow to moderate covered part of the northwards extension of the Macquarie Arc under post mineral cover. This portfolio now covers a strike twice the length of the Vicuña district and included in earn-in and agreements with AngloGold Ashanti.The NJNB is virgin exploration territory and offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with regional magnetics and gravity, supportive of large-scale intrusive complexes and targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern and more mature sections of the Macquarie Arc.Figure 2: First phase drilling activities at Kincora's Nyngan project are ongoing with activities initiated for initial drilling at the highly prospective Nevertire and Nevertire South projectsIn the last month, AngloGold Ashanti has moved to Phase II of its earn-in agreement with Inflection Resources (market capitalisation >C$33 million) designating a total of four projects to continue earning into (including two adjacent to Kincora's Nyngan and Nyngan South licenses) and formed a second earn-in and joint venture agreement with KincoraTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/248376_kincoraimg2.jpgAbout AngloGold AngloGold Ashanti plc (NYSE: AU) (market capitalization ~US$21.6 billion) is the world's fourth largest gold miner by production with projects and exploration activities across nine countries on four continents.AngloGold pursues value-creating opportunities, where it can leverage their existing assets, shareholdings, skills and experience.AngloGold has a track record of successful exploration with its greenfields and brownfields exploration programmes seeking to support sustainability and growth of its business.

HONG KONG, Apr 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On 10 April, Ausnutria Dairy Corporation Ltd (Stock Code: 1717.HK) released its 2024 annual results announcement. According to the announcement, Ausnutria achieved operating revenue of approximately RMB7.402 billion in 2024, a year-on-year (“YoY”) growth of 0.3% and profit attributable to equity holders of the parent company of approximately RMB236 million, a YoY growth of 35.3%, realizing a resilient dual growth in revenue and profit. It is worth mentioning that Ausnutria's international business has entered the fast lane with a significant YoY growth of 68.2%, which has become a new growth driver.According to the announcement, in 2024, in the face of the internal and external economic situation of the world's economic growth momentum and insufficient effective domestic demand, Ausnutria steadily promoted the “milk powder + nutrition products” nutrition strategy for the whole family and further strengthened its leading position as the “World’s No.1 goat milk powder brand”. Through multi-dimensional measures such as strengthening scientific innovation, expanding market, enhancing efficiency and consolidating foundation, Ausnutria has maintained its market share against the backdrop of the overall shrinking infant formula market, realizing revenue growth with a significant increase in profit, thereby surpassing the industry cycle with resilient growth.  In terms of segmentation, Ausnutria's own brand milk powder business segment achieved an overall revenue of approximately RMB5.806 billion, of which the goat milk powder business realized revenue of approximately RMB3.699 billion, representing a YoY increase of 12.7%, while the cow milk powder business realized revenue of approximately RMB2.107 billion. The nutrition products business segment realized revenue of approximately RMB305 million, representing a YoY increase of 7.1%. In terms of region, in 2024, the goat milk powder business of the PRC recorded revenue of approximately RMB3,053 million, representing a YoY growth of 5.3%, while the goat milk powder international business realized revenue of approximately RMB647 million, representing a significant YoY growth of 68.2%, which maintained a high growth trend. The share of total revenue from the Company's own brand formula goat milk powder business further increased to 17.5%.According to the announcement, the Middle East region has continued to show solid growth momentum in 2024; the CIS market achieved high double-digit growth; and a milestone breakthrough was achieved in the first year of the launch of Kabrita’s goat IMF in the U.S. market. Through the dual-track strategy of “online precise promotion + offline channel expansion”, Kabrita quickly grabbed the top category seller on the Amazon platform and was awarded the “Best Goat Milk Baby Formula Product” in the US. Ausnutria said in the announcement that with more and more medical professionals and professional organizations further recognizing the value of goat milk, North America is expected to become another strategic growth pole after the Middle East.
