Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - January 27, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from seven new drill holes completed at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The seven holes are the latest completed as part of the Company's ongoing 140,000-metre step-out drill program designed to test the overall scope of gold mineralization at the Project (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025). Three separate and equally significant results are contained within the new data (summarized below, and in Figure 1):1. Broad Mineralized Zones with High-Grade Vein Intercepts at "Trend #1", Extending New Mineralization to 1,450 Metres Vertical Depth, 375 Metres Below the Existing Mineral ResourcesOB-25-322W3 intersected 23.37 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 4.0 metres (core length) including 60.60 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and 2.50 g/t Au over 19.0 metres including 4.94 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and including 3.93 g/t Au over 3.0 metres;OB-25-322W4 intersected 2.37 g/t Au over 11.5 metres including 10.89 g/t Au over 1.0 metre;2. Completion of Final 14th and 15th Wedges from Pilot Hole OB-24-337, Continuing the Delineation of New Mineralization in Multiple Veins Beneath the Historic Mine Workings OB-25-337W15 intersected 5.38 g/t Au over 4.5 metres including 8.86 g/t Au over 1.5 metres;OB-25-337W14 intersected 1.49 g/t Au over 16.1 metres including 4.26 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and including 3.37 g/t Au over 1.5 metres;3. Deepest Ever Intercept Beneath the Historic Mine with a New, Deep Pilot Hole Extending Mineralization to 1,620 Metres Vertical Depth and Providing Platform for Further DrillingOB-25-378 intersected 15.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metres;Matt Manson, President and CEO: "This latest batch of drill assays from O'Brien contain notable results from several areas of focus in our 140,000 metre step-out drill program. We continue to push the limits of known mineralization at O'Brien outwards and downwards. Two wedges completed from drill hole OB-24-322 demonstrate more characteristic zones of broad and mineralized alteration with high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold veins, pushing the known extents of the Project's "Trend #1" to a new depth extent of 1,450 metres. Beneath the historic O'Brien Mine, we have been reporting for the past 12 months the progressive delineation of a broad system of high-grade veins showing good continuity with the former mine workings above. The final two wedges drilled from the pilot hole OB-24-337 have also successfully intercepted these veins with reliable consistency. In fact, each of the fifteen wedges drilled from this pilot hole have returned vein intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources: a 100% success rate in this developing area. Now, new pilot hole OB-25-378, representing a step-down in depth again, has intercepted further, multiple mineralized zones and high-grades, pushing this area of gold mineralization down to 1,620 metres vertical depth, the deepest intercepts yet achieved at the Project. We have not yet found the bottom of the O'Brien gold system. Six rigs are active at the Project site, with two more rigs mobilizing shortly."Figure 1: Longitudinal Vertical Section and Plan View of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Today's Drill Holes IllustratedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/281737_74e08c8d6491c912_001full.jpgTable 1: Assay Results from Select Drill HolesDDHZone  From(m) To(m) CoreLength(m)Au g/t -UncutHost LithologyOB-25-322W3Trend #1 1,379.51,381.01.503.24V3-S 1,443.51,444.81.305.31POR-S  1,472.0 1,491.0 19.002.50 S1p/POR-N Including 1,477.0 1,478.5 1.504.94 S1p Including 1,484.5 1,487.5 3.003.93 S1p   1,531.0 1,535.0 4.0023.37 POR-N/V3-N Including 1,532.5 1,534.0 1.5060.60 POR-N/V3-N OB-25-322W4Trend #1 1,250.01,251.51.503.85V3-S  1,341.5 1,353.0 11.502.37 POR-S Including 1,347.5 1,348.5 1.0010.89 POR-S OB-25-337W14O'Brien Mine East 1,206.01,210.04.003.13V3-S 1,209.01,210.01.004.70V3-S  1,215.4 1,231.5 16.101.49 POR-S/V3-CEN Including 1,218.0 1,219.5 1.504.26 POR-S/V3-CEN Including 1,225.5 1,227.0 1.503.37 POR-S/V3-CEN  1,237.51,240.32.803.81V3-CEN 1,239.01,240.31.307.11V3-CEN 1,272.01,273.51.508.48S1pOB-25-337W15O'Brien Mine East 1,247.01,251.04.005.11V3-CEN 1,248.01,249.01.009.84V3-CEN  1,306.0 1,310.5 4.505.38 V3-N Including 1,307.5 1,309.0 1.508.86 V3-N OB-25-377W1O'Brien Mine West  1,204.9 1,214.3 9.403.48 V3-CEN Including 1,206.4 1,210.7 4.305.92 V3-CEN  1,224.91,226.01.103.00V3-CEN / S1p 1,243.01,245.02.004.74S1pIncluding1,244.01,245.01.006.44S1pOB-25-377W2O'Brien Mine West 1,302.01,303.01.008.09POR-N 1,327.71,329.82.103.67V3-NOB-25-378O'Brien Mine East 1,665.51,667.01.503.07POR-S  1,673.8 1,674.9 1.1015.70 POR-S  1,681.31,682.31.003.47POR-S 1,702.61,704.01.403.26V3-CEN Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:The O'Brien Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate effective May 6, 2025 ("MRE") utilizes a 2.20 g/t Au bottom cut-off, a US$2,000 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 40 g/t Au upper cap on composites. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of core length. Table 2 presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed. Lithology Codes: PON-S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone.Gold Mineralization at O'BrienGold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focussed on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well developed vein mineralization to the east of the historic mine, with additional high-grade shoots becoming evident in the exploration data over what has been described as a series of repeating trends ("Trend #s 0 to 5").Figure 2: Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company since December 2024To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/281737_74e08c8d6491c912_003full.jpgStep-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the extent of mineralization at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. On October 16, 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing an eventual eight drill rigs. Since this program began, 84% of completed drill holes have intersected gold mineralization with grades and core-lengths consistent with the Project's Mineral Resources (Table 2).Table 2: Drill Results Published for the O'Brien Gold Project since December 2024Date of PublicationTotal Number of Drill HolesDrill Holes withIntercepts >+3g/tSuccess Rate (%)January 27th, 202677100%January 6th, 20266583%28th October 2025151387%8th September, 2025151387%16th July 2025141179%2nd April 202533100%26th February 2025201575%16th December 202411100%Total816884% The origin of the step-out drill program was the deep pilot hole OB-24-337, which was the first exploration drill hole located below the former mine workings since mining ended in 1957. This hole intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated December 16, 2024). With today's results, a full complement of assay results from all fifteen wedges drilled from OB-24-337 have now been reported and up to eight gold-bearing veins have been delineated. Drilling in this area will now focus on new pilot hole OB-25-378 which has been successfully completed to a vertical depth of 1,740 metres. This hole has returned multiple zones of alteration and gold mineralization, showing continuity with the multiple-vein system modelled above, and a high-grade vein intercept of 15.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metres at 1,620 metres vertical depth, the deepest intercept ever returned at the Project. Taken together, the results extend the area of new mineralization beneath the historic mine workings to approximately 250 metres (east-west) by 600 metres (vertical). Drilling of the first wedge from pilot hole OB-25-378 is currently underway.Today's release includes drill assays from two wedges completed from pilot hole OB-24-322 testing the downward extension of the Project's "Trend #1". Both wedges returned broad zones of mineralized alteration with high-grade vein intercepts, including OB-25-322W3 with 23.37 g/t Au over 4.0 metres including 60.60 g/t Au over 1.5 metres. Recall that drilling in this area has returned similarly high-grade intercepts, including OB-24-324 with 27.61 g/t Au over 6.0 metres including 102.0 g/t Au over 1.1 metres and 6.83 g/t Au over 10.0 metres including 40.2 g/t Au over 1.5 metres, and the OB-24-322 pilot hole itself which returned 8.75 g/t Au over 5.2 metres including 27.2 g/t Au over 1.4 metres (Figure 3 and Radisson news release dated September 24, 2024). These results, taken together, have extended gold mineralization at Trend #1 to 1,450 metres vertical depth, 375 metres below the current Mineral Resources.Today's release also includes results from two wedges from pilot hole OB-25-377 located between the western and eastern portions of the former mine (Figure 1). These holes have returned multiple zones of mineralization, such as OB-25-377W1 with 3.48 g/t Au over 9.4 metres including 5.92 g/t Au over 4.3 metres. This area had previously been thought to have lower potential for new mineral resources, given the absence of mining stopes above. The new intercepts illustrate the broad extent of the O'Brien gold mineralizing system and the high-grading nature of the former mine.Figure 3: Vertical Cross Section through "Trend #1 with Pilot Holes OB-24-322 and 324, and WedgesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/281737_74e08c8d6491c912_004full.jpgTable 3: Detailed Assay Results (see "Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts")DDHZone  From(m) To(m) CoreLength(m)Au g/t -UncutHost LithologyOB-25-322W3Trend #1  1,379.5 1,381.0 1.503.24V3-S 1,440.51,444.84.302.48POR-SIncluding 1,443.5 1,444.8 1.305.31POR-S 1,472.01,491.019.002.50S1p/POR-NIncluding 1,477.0 1,478.5 1.504.94S1pIncluding 1,484.5 1,487.5 3.003.93S1p  1,531.0 1,535.0 4.0023.37POR-N/V3-NIncluding 1,532.5 1,534.0 1.5060.60POR-N/V3-N 1,538.21,539.51.301.28S3pOB-25-322W4Trend #1 1,247.01,251.54.502.57V3-SIncluding 1,250.0 1,251.5 1.503.85V3-S 1,334.01,335.51.501.55POR-S 1,341.51,353.011.502.37POR-SIncluding 1,347.5 1,348.5 1.0010.89POR-S 1,360.21,364.24.001.10POR-S 1,377.51,383.56.001.28S1p 1,405.01,406.51.501.40POR-NOB-25-337W14O'Brien Mine East 1,109.01,110.51.503.06PON-S3 1,188.01,189.51.501.24V3-S 1,195.51,197.01.501.81V3-S  1,206.0 1,210.0 4.003.13V3-SIncluding 1,209.0 1,210.0 1.004.70V3-S 1,215.41,231.516.101.49POR-S/V3-CENIncluding 1,218.0 1,219.5 1.504.26POR-S/V3-CENIncluding 1,225.5 1,227.0 1.503.37POR-S/V3-CEN  1,237.5 1,240.3 2.803.81V3-CENIncluding 1,239.0 1,240.3 1.307.11V3-CEN 1,264.51,266.01.501.05S1p  1,272.0 1,273.5 1.508.48S1p 1,283.31,284.81.502.09TX 1,328.01,329.51.502.58S3pOB-25-337W15O'Brien Mine East 1,239.01,240.11.101.11POR-S  1,247.0 1,251.0 4.005.11V3-CENIncluding 1,248.0 1,249.0 1.009.84V3-CEN 1,282.51,284.01.501.06S1p 1,293.01,294.01.001.13POR-N 1,296.01,297.41.401.74POR-N 1,298.91,300.01.101.34V3-N  1,306.0 1,310.5 4.505.38V3-NIncluding 1,307.5 1,309.0 1.508.86V3-NOB-25-377W1O'Brien Mine West 1,196.91,197.91.001.44V3-CEN  1,204.9 1,214.3 9.403.48V3-CENIncluding 1,206.4 1,210.7 4.305.92V3-CEN 1,222.01,227.55.501.94V3-CEN / S1pIncluding 1,224.9 1,226.0 1.103.00V3-CEN / S1p 1,235.01,236.51.502.80S1p  1,243.0 1,245.0 2.004.74S1pIncluding 1,244.0 1,245.0 1.006.44S1p 1,249.01,250.01.001.18S1p 1,271.51,272.71.201.30V3-NOB-25-377W2O'Brien Mine West 1,206.61,210.53.901.76POR-S / V3-CEN 1,291.01,296.05.001.10S1p 1,297.41,304.57.102.03POR-NIncluding 1,302.0 1,303.0 1.008.09 POR-N  1,327.71,333.55.801.97V3-NIncluding 1,327.7 1,329.8 2.103.67V3-NOB-25-378O'Brien Mine East 1,653.01,654.51.501.10POR-S 1,664.01,667.03.002.14POR-SIncluding 1,665.5 1,667.0 1.503.07 POR-S   1,673.8 1,674.9 1.1015.70 POR-S  1,681.31,689.98.601.15POR-SIncluding 1,681.3 1,682.3 1.003.47 POR-S  1,701.51,704.02.502.40V3-CENIncluding 1,702.6 1,704.0 1.403.26 V3-CEN  1,713.51,715.01.503.47S1p 1,746.51,748.01.502.01TX Table 4: Drill Hole Collar Information for Holes contained in this News Release HELLODDHZoneEastingNorthingAzimuthDipHole Length (m)OB-25-322W3Trend #169419953450980-85.0687.0OB-25-322W4Trend #169419953450980-85.0650.0OB-25-337W14O'Brien Mine East6937005345070346-79.5460.0OB-25-337W15O'Brien Mine East6937005345070346-79.5476.0OB-25-377W1O'Brien Mine West6932725345054345-79.5686.0OB-25-377W2O'Brien Mine West6932725345054345-79.5710.0OB-25-378O'Brien Mine East6936405345014357-83.01820.0Notes:Hole lengths for wedges represent meterage from point of wedge.

香港, 2026年1月27日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 现货黄金突破 5000美元/盎司历史新高，还在冲去买实物黄金？其实，买金囤金可能不如掘金！Solactive全球黄金矿业精选指数自基日以来累计涨幅达 324.8%，较伦敦金、上海金超额收益达200%（数据来源：彭博，截至 2025/12/31）。1月26日-28 日，全港唯一黄金矿业 ETF——易方达黄金矿（2824）开放申购，一键布局全球黄金矿业龙头，助你捕捉黄金牛市的机遇。                                                   黄金矿业股，为什么比黄金弹性更大？黄金股票长期走势与黄金现货价格一致，但弹性明显更大，原因是双重红利叠加的 "超额密码"：一是金矿企业部分成本固定，金价每波动1%，矿企利润变动可能放大2-3 倍；二是金价上行时，叠加企业盈利修复、矿产资源价值重估的额外增益。从数据来看，Solactive 全球黄金矿业精选指数自 2023 年 3 月 17 日基日以来，累计涨幅高达 324.8%，是同期伦敦金、上海金涨幅的2~3倍， "金价放大器"实至名归。黄金牛市，还能持续吗？在国际金价2025年飙涨超60%、创下自1979年以来最大涨幅后，2026 年势头未止，现货黄金连续冲破 4400、4600、4800、4900 美元四大关口，站上5000美元历史性关口，高盛将年底目标价从原本的4900美元上调至 5400 美元。黄金后市有多重利好因素：- 降息周期开启 + 实际利率下行，直接推升金价估值；- 全球央行购金热情高涨，2025 年前三季度净购金 634 吨，95% 受访央行计划继续增持；- 地缘危机 + 美元信用质疑，黄金作为避险与 "去美元化" 核心资产，需求持续升温。重磅新品：全港唯一黄金矿业ETF香港唯一聚焦黄金矿业的 ETF——易方达黄金矿（2824），锚定全球四大黄金产业区，精选30只金矿龙头股构建组合。其中港股标的囊括紫金矿业（16.25%）、招金矿业（14.01%）、山东黄金（13.56%）等国内巨头；海外部分覆盖加拿大、美国、澳大利亚优质标的，纽蒙特、巴里克矿业等全球矿业龙头均在列。地域分散+龙头集聚，既规避单一市场风险，又能充分享受全球黄金产业的增长红利，显现配置价值。重要事项：1. 易方达（香港）Solactive全球黄金矿业精选指数ETF（"子基金"）是易方达ETF信托下的子基金。易方达ETF信托乃根据香港法例成立的伞子单位信托。子基金属于证券及期货事务监察委员会（"证监会"）颁布的《单位信托及互惠基金守则》第8.6章所界定的被动式管理ETF。子基金的基金单位（"基金单位"）于香港联合交易所有限公司（"香港联交所"）如股票般买卖。投资目标为提供紧贴Solactive全球黄金矿业精选指数（"指数"）表现的投资回报（未扣除费用及开支）。为达致子基金的投资目标，基金经理将采用全面复制策略或基金经理认为合适的代表性抽样策略，务求尽量紧贴指数从而达致子基金的投资目标，为投资者带来利益。子基金可按其绝对酌情权在全面复制策略与代表性抽样策略之间转换，无需事先通知投资者。2. 本基金面临以下风险：a) 投资风险、b) 股票市场风险、c) 新指数风险、d) 地理集中风险、e) 中国内地政治、经济和社会风险、f) 黄金及贵金属矿石开采业集中风险、g) 与中小型市值公司相关的风险、h) 证券借贷交易风险、i) 交易时段不同风险、j) 被动投资风险、k) 交易风险、l) 追踪误差风险、m) 多柜台风险、n) 货币风险、o) 从资本中作出分派/实际从资本中作出分派的风险、p) 依赖做市商风险、q) 终止风险。3. 指数属新指数。指数的运作历史极短，投资者无法据此评估其过往表现。无法保证指数的表现。与其他追踪有较长运作历史且较具规模的指数的交易所买卖基金相比，子基金或须承受较高风险。4. 由于子基金追踪经选定地区（香港、美国、澳洲及加拿大）的表现，故须承受集中风险。相较于基础广泛的基金（例如环球股票基金），子基金可能更为波动，原因为子基金更易受到香港、美国、澳洲及加拿大不利情况所导致的指数价值波动所影响。子基金的价值可能较易受结算风险、托管风险及影响香港、美国、澳洲及加拿大市场的经济、政治、政策、外汇、流动性、税务、法律或监管方面的不利事件所影响。5. 阁下不应仅依赖本资料作出投资决定。于作出投资决定前，请先细阅有关销售文件，包括风险因素，以得悉本基金详情。投资附带风险。过往业绩不代表将来表现。此资料并未被香港证监会审阅。注：截至2026/1/20，易方达（香港）SOLACTIVE全球黄金矿业精选指数ETF为香港交易所上市及获香港证监会认可的唯一跟踪黄金矿业的ETF。此项声明乃基于(i)证监会产品数据库所载根据《单位信托及互惠基金守则》获证监会认可的所有集体投资计划，以及(ii)截至参考日期于香港交易所上市的所有交易所买卖基金之全面审查。若其他类似产品获证监会认可或于香港交易所上市，此声明的准确性可能会改变。此声明不包括非上市基金、私募基金、海外上市产品。指数供应商免责声明1.Solactive AG（"Solactive"）是Solactive全球黄金矿业精选指数（"指数"）的许可方。Solactive不以任何方式赞助、认可、推广或销售以指数为依据的金融工具，且Solactive对于以下方面不作任何明示或暗示的声明、担保或保证：(a) 投资于金融工具的适当性；(b) 指数的质量、准确性及/或完整性；及/或(c) 任何个人或实体通过使用指数而获得或将获得的结果。2.Solactive概不保证指数的准确性及/或完整性，且不对与之相关的任何错误或遗漏承担任何责任。尽管Solactive对其获许可方负有义务，但Solactive保留更改指数计算或发布方法的权利，且Solactive不对指数的任何错误计算或任何不正确、延迟或中断的发布承担责任。3.Solactive不对任何损害承担责任，包括但不限于任何利润或业务损失，或因使用（或无法使用）指数以致蒙受或产生的任何特殊、附带、惩罚性、间接或因此而起的损害。易方达香港免责声明1.投资风险提示 本报告之发行人为易方达资产管理(香港)有限公司。本报告不构成投资基金单位之邀请或建议。认购基金单位时只可使用附有基金说明书的申购表格。投资带有风险，基金价格可升可跌，过往业绩不代表未来表现。投资前，投资者应仔细阅读基金说明书（包括「风险因素」部分）中与该基金相关的投资风险。2.分发限制 本报告可能仅限在若干司法权区内派发。若在任何不允许分发相关资料或作出任何邀请或建议的司法权区内，或向任何人士分派本报告或作出邀请或建议即属违法的情况下，本报告不构成该等分派或邀请或建议。本文件获豁免经香港证监会预先审阅及认可，并未经过香港证监会审核。3.证监会认可声明证监会认可不等如对该计划作出推介或认可，亦不是对该计划的商业利弊或表现作出保证，更不代表该计划适合所有投资者，或认可该计划适合任何个别投资者或任何类别的投资者。4.版权声明 版权所有 © 2026。易方达资产管理(香港)有限公司。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Patent Allowance Strengthens Intellectual Property Position in Advanced Battery and Dual-Use Energy Storage MaterialsOttawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - January 26, 2026) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office ("CIPO") has allowed the Company's Canadian patent application No. 3,209,696, entitled "Advanced Anode Materials Comprising Spheroidal Additive-Enhanced Graphite Particles and Process for Making Same" (the "Patent"). The allowance confirms that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office has completed its substantive examination and determined that the Patent claims meet all Canadian requirements for patentability, including novelty and inventiveness. Subject to the completion of final administrative steps, the Patent is expected to proceed to formal grant. The allowed Patent covers proprietary processes and compositions for silicon-enhanced, spheroidal graphite particles, designed to improve performance characteristics critical to lithium-ion battery anodes, including energy density, charge efficiency, and cycling stability, by incorporating silicon within the graphite particle architecture while leveraging graphite's structural stability and conductivity. Silicon is widely recognized as a key material in next-generation battery anodes due to its significantly higher theoretical energy storage capacity relative to conventional graphite.By distributing silicon within the graphite structure, the technology is intended to address two fundamental challenges associated with silicon-enhanced anodes: charge-induced volume expansion and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) instability. Embedding silicon within a graphite matrix is expected to help buffer volumetric expansion during cycling, supporting improved mechanical integrity, while the surrounding graphite structure may reduce direct silicon-electrolyte interactions, contributing to enhanced cycling stability and battery longevity.In addition to commercial battery markets, the Company believes these performance attributes are relevant to a range of dual-use applications, including defence, aerospace, and other mission-critical systems, where energy density, durability, and operational reliability are essential. Advanced anode materials capable of maintaining stable performance under demanding operating conditions are increasingly viewed as strategically important across both civilian electrification and national security-related energy storage applications.Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite, commented, "The allowance of this Patent represents the culmination of years of focused research and development. The underlying technology was shaped under the guidance of Dr. Joseph Doninger, whose deep technical insight and commitment to innovation were instrumental to its success, and we are grateful for the work he contributed. With the Patent now allowed, we are well positioned to move forward with broader testing and advancement of this technology as part of our downstream strategy."The allowance of this patent also aligns with growing North American and allied-nation priorities to establish secure, non-adversarial sources of battery materials, as governments and industry increasingly recognize the strategic risks associated with reliance on foreign-controlled supply chains. Graphite represents the largest material component of a lithium-ion battery by weight, and intellectual property protecting advanced anode materials is expected to play an important role in supporting domestic manufacturing, energy security, and defence-aligned and dual-use supply chains serving both civilian and national security priorities.Focus Graphite continues to advance its graphite assets and technology initiatives as part of its broader strategy to support North American battery, energy storage, electrification, and advanced industrial markets, while building a differentiated portfolio that spans resource development and value-added downstream innovation.Further updates will be provided as the Patent progresses to formal issuance and as the Company advances related technical and commercial initiatives.In Memoriam - Dr. Joseph. E. DoningerThe Company also notes with deep respect the recent passing of Dr. Joseph E. Doninger, who was one of the inventors of the allowed patent and a key contributor to the development of the underlying technology. Dr. Doninger served as Vice President of Manufacturing and Technology at Focus and played an instrumental role in shaping the Company's downstream and advanced materials strategy.Dr. Doninger earned his B.A. from the University of Illinois and completed his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Northwestern University, beginning a distinguished career in industrial and applied materials science. He spent many years at IMC before serving as Senior Vice President of Research and Development at Superior Graphite, where he became widely recognized as a leading expert in the use of graphite for battery and advanced material applications. Over the course of his career, Dr. Doninger authored technical publications, held patents related to carbon-based materials, and addressed legislative and industry forums on energy and materials innovation.Later in his career, Dr. Doninger founded Dontech Global, continuing to advise companies and advance materials technologies until the time of his passing. His technical insight, leadership, and commitment to innovation were foundational to the silicon-enhanced graphite anode technology reflected in this patent. Focus Graphite acknowledges his lasting contributions and honours his legacy.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc.

MIAMI, FL, Jan 24, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Electronic Dance Music (EDM) recording artist, Sir Ivan, has co-written and recorded a peace song that will stand the test of time. Inspired by 20th-century anti-war rock legends such as John Lennon and Bob Dylan, Sir Ivan's new single, "Love Is The Piece," is a bold reminder to all generations that love remains the only path to peace and is found only in our hearts.Stream/Download On All Platforms"As the son of an Auschwitz survivor (see UnstoppableSiggi.com), my life has been deeply affected by the tragedy of having over 50 family members murdered during the Holocaust, simply because they were Jewish. My father's miraculous survival and my subsequent birth had a purpose. And that purpose was for me to one day write and sing a peace song that would help stop violence, bloodshed, and war between people. That song is ‘Love Is The Piece,'" declared Sir Ivan.While global conflicts and civil unrest escalate around the world, Sir Ivan delivers a timely and powerful message with his new single, "Love Is The Piece." Known internationally as Peaceman for his long-standing commitment to promoting peace through music, Sir Ivan brings an urgent, modern voice to the legacy of anti-war anthems.In "Love Is The Piece," Sir Ivan confronts one of humanity's greatest contradictions: despite extraordinary technological and scientific achievements, we remain unable to end war. "But the one thing that they can't seem to solve / Is the end of war - it's time to evolve," he sings, calling for a shift in human consciousness.The chorus delivers the heart of the message: "Love is the piece we need for peace." It's a direct call to unity that resonates strongly in today's fractured global climate.The lyrics emphasize that pure love transcends national, religious, and cultural boundaries."It goes beyond Christians, Muslims, and Jews... The answer's not blowin' in the wind / 'Cause our hearts hold the one solution within."Sir Ivan's dedication to peace-focused artistry has been highlighted in previous press coverage, including the world premiere of his award-winning "Get Together" music video and his global DJ initiative supporting creatives in crisis.His collaboration with acclaimed producer Markus Schulz - recently highlighted by We Rave You and EDM.com - further cemented his status as a meaningful voice in electronic music.With "Love Is The Piece," Sir Ivan continues his mission to inspire change through powerful lyrics. A series of forthcoming remixes from leading dance producers will help bring the message to clubs, festivals, and playlists worldwide. All streaming and download proceeds go to The Peaceman Foundation (thepeacemanfoundation.org).About Sir IvanSir Ivan is a Top 10 Billboard and Music Week recording artist, peace advocate, and philanthropist whose mission-driven catalogue blends powerful social messages with modern dance production.

In-Kingdom operating entity to enable compliant digital asset innovation for sovereign and enterprise-scale initiatives under Saudi regulatory frameworksAL KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia, Jan 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Open World Ltd. (“Open World”), a blockchain infrastructure company with experience supporting large-scale digital asset initiatives, today announced the establishment of Saudi Arabia’s first RWA (Real-World Asset) Tokenization Center of Excellence. The news follows Open World’s announcement on January 5, 2026, regarding its plans to merge with VerifyMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRME) (“VerifyMe”), positioning the combined entity for participation in public markets as a leading infrastructure provider in the digital asset and tokenization sector.The RWA Center of Excellence will operate as a fully licensed and, as regulations are defined, in-Kingdom entity designed to accelerate compliant digital asset innovation for sovereign, enterprise, and institutional clients across Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East. The initiative will directly support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 Financial Sector Development Program, which seeks to establish Saudi Arabia as a globally competitive financial and investment hub.As the Saudi regulatory frameworks continue to mature, the Center of Excellence will enable compliant tokenization of real-world assets, including energy infrastructure, tokenized carbon reduction credits, real estate, sovereign bonds and, over time, regulated stablecoins. These initiatives will be launched on Open World’s sovereign and national-scale tokenization infrastructure introduced in December 2025 through its partnership with Abstract. This will provide Saudi enterprises and government entities new pathways to access global capital markets while maintaining full regulatory compliance with Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and Capital Market Authority (CMA) requirements.“Saudi Arabia is leading the global conversation on how digital assets can be deployed in service of national economic priorities,” said Matt Shaw, co-founder and CEO of Open World. “By establishing our Center of Excellence in Al Khobar, we are making a long-term commitment to build alongside Saudi partners, under Saudi regulations, with infrastructure that meets the Kingdom’s sovereign data and security requirements. Our goal is to help transform Saudi Arabia’s tremendous real-world asset base into globally accessible, compliant digital instruments that attract international investment while ensuring value creation remains within the Kingdom.”Initial focus areas for the Center of Excellence include certain types of energy asset tokenization, real estate development financing, and the on-chain verification and storage of carbon reduction credits. The Center has been structured to meet sovereign-grade delivery standards, with a strong emphasis on data residency, local security controls, and national economic considerations aligned with the Kingdom’s localization objectives.“Welcoming Open World to Al Khobar represents a significant step in our region’s digital transformation journey,” said Dr. Salman Salem Al Khaldi, member of the Industry and Energy Committee at the Eastern Province Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “The Eastern Province is home to Saudi Aramco, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran Techno Valley and the Kingdom’s largest concentration of energy assets, making it the ideal location to pioneer real-world asset tokenization. This initiative aligns perfectly with Vision 2030’s goal to develop our financial sector and diversify our economy beyond traditional energy exports.”The RWA Center of Excellence is expected to commence full operations in 2026, with initial pilot projects targeted for mid-year launch. Open World has established the necessary legal, licensing, commercial, and technological infrastructure required to operate directly within Saudi Arabia’s regulatory environment.To support growing institutional adoption in Saudi Arabia, Open World said it plans to work with financial institutions, government entities, and regulators to develop frameworks for investor protection, regulatory clarity, and standardized tokenization practices, with strategic partnership announcements expected throughout 2026.About Open World Ltd.Open World has been a major driving force behind many of the most iconic projects in blockchain.
