天瞳威视IPO观察:营收结构里的非共识 – L2量产“养”出L4落地 意味着什么
香港, 2026年3月2日 - (亚太商讯) - 在港股智能驾驶赛道风起云涌的当下,市场审视标的的准绳已悄然从单纯的"技术竞速"转向"商业化落地"与"财务健壮度"。继去年10月向港交所递交上市申请后,苏州天瞳威视电子科技股份有限公司(以下简称"天瞳威视")近期动作频频,先后披露了多项业务合作,引发市场关注。 一方面,2月11日,天瞳威视通过其公众号披露斩获某上海知名车企近百万台量产定点 - 业内普遍推测合作方为其重要产业投资方上汽集团,这为其L2-L2+级量产业务注入规模性增量;另一方面,几乎同一时间段,中标苏州市吴中区长期智慧交通项目,L4级自动驾驶巴士于今年一季度在太湖新城开通接驳线路,标志着其高阶技术在城市微循环场景的渗透。 如果说百万量级的定点函代表了天瞳威视在主流市场的规模优势,那么苏州吴中项目的落地则验证了其L4技术从Demo走向商业化落地能力。随着天瞳威视在港交所递表进程的推进,市场关注的焦点已从技术布局转向更深层的商业命题:在保持轻资产运营的同时,天瞳威视如何实现从技术高地到规模营收的跨越? 一、商业模型:L2量产为底+L4交付变现 如果把这两则新闻放在一起细读,会发现一个更值得玩味的商业逻辑:天瞳威视正在用一种"更聪明"的方式,绕开了多数L4公司陷入的泥潭:即单一模式与持续烧钱。这种模型,在资本宽松期尚可维系,但在当下的融资环境下,压力陡增。 天瞳威视的模型,恰好切中了这一痛点:用L2量产为底,用L4交付变现 第一层:L2量产是"盈利的底" 近百万台的上汽定点,意味着什么?意味着在未来几年,天瞳威视或将实现一笔可预期的、规模化的软件解决方案收入进账。这部分业务不需要自建车队,不需要烧钱运营,核心在于做好技术与交付,产生相对稳定的盈利。 根据灼识咨询的资料,按2024年装机量计,天瞳威视是中国第二大同时提供行车与泊车解决方案的以软件为核心的L2-L2+级解决方案提供商。这个市场地位,构成了其整体商业模型的"底" - 无论L4的故事讲得如何,底层的量产收入提供了可预期的资金通道,而不是完全依赖投资人喂养。 第二层:L4走"交付",实现技术赋能 与多数L4公司自己完全下场运营不同,天瞳威视在招股书中将自身定位为智能驾驶解决方案提供商。其核心逻辑是聚焦技术输出,实现产品及场景应用落地。 在苏州吴中,天瞳威视结合区域化场景部署自动驾驶巴士并交付投运。这种模式的关键词是"交付即收入" - 在Robobus发展的初期阶段,规避繁冗运营所需的漫长回报周期,其收入随产品交付同步实现,而非依赖于后续不确定的分成收益。 这确实是一种更聪明的打法。从市场观察看,L4的商业模式通常有两种:一种是像Waymo那样自己运营赚出行服务费,另一种是像天瞳威视这样给运营商供车赚方案费。前者重资产、长周期、高不确定性;后者轻资产、快变现、现金流更健康。招股书内容显示,天瞳威视从早期Robotruck的技术验证,到Robobus在多城实现区域落地,再到全球首款基于地平线J6M平台的Robotaxi(ConnectOne)技术突破,其发展逻辑始终坚持"轻资产"交付。据公开数据显示,截至2025年10月招股书披露,天瞳威视已取得覆盖逾2,500辆Robobus、Robotaxi及Robotruck的意向订单,合约总价值约人民币10亿元,并成功将业务拓展至中东、中亚、韩国等海外市场,为未来三至五年的收入持续增长提供了较强保障。 当然,这个模型也有时效窗口。正如行业人士所言:"等到未来街上都在跑Robobus、Robotaxi的时候,这个模式可能就不成立了。但在现阶段,它让一家智驾公司有了更健康的盈利模型。" 而放眼长远,天瞳威视的布局似乎远不止于此 - 据招股书披露,2025年9月天瞳威视已通过增资参股广州智体科技,或揭示着更深层的周期对冲逻辑可能性:L2量产业务随车型周期波动,而通过绑定广州智体科技等区域运营主体,天瞳威视有望构建一个与L2周期错位的长效收益池。当未来L4规模化运营启动,这部分早期布局的运力资源,或将成为其分享行业长期红利的支点。 二、效应变现:从技术到商业的闭环 上汽量产项目和吴中L4项目并非孤立存在,它们之间有一条隐性的协同线:日趋成熟的工程化能力。 从招股书内容分析,天瞳威视的基底能力,来自L2-L2+前装量产中积累的144款车型定点经验,从直接合作的VinFast,到通过Tier1间接服务的极氪 - 这种规模化上车的工程沉淀,为其L4开发提供了不同于纯创业公司的起点底色。而L4在真实场景中获取的高价值数据,经脱敏后持续反哺L2+算法迭代,形成量产与高阶之间的正向循环。 支撑这一闭环运转的,是自研CalmVolution平台及分层解耦的系统架构,实现算法在不同芯片平台上的高复用与快速适配。此番上汽及吴中项目的接连落地,恰是长期工程能力与商业化价值的一次关键验证。 基于这一工程能力底座,天瞳威视的产品线同步向更多应用场景进行战略升维。据公众号披露,其基于地平线J6M芯片平台打造的高阶行泊一体方案,已在单芯片上实现对5R11V传感器配置的集成,并完成基于端到端大模型的城市NOA量产开发,可支持L2.9级智能驾驶功能。同时,据行业消息,后续基于J6M平台,天瞳威视有望推出更多搭载NOA功能的合作项目,进一步丰富其在智驾方案的梯次化布局。 三、生态扩张:产业资本锚定,协同效应初显 公开信息来看,天瞳威视的股东结构呈现产业资本特征,包括了采埃孚这类国际Tier1供应商,也有上汽、北汽等国内主流整车厂,以及中国联通等通信运营商。 从资本运作逻辑来看,这种多元化布局,其战略意图远不止于财务注资,更深层考量在于打通产业链上下游协同,构筑起"智驾联盟"式生态接口。2025年,天瞳威视完成5亿元D轮融资,地平线、商汤科技等企业资本以及政府背景产业基金的入场,似乎背后也蕴含着市场渗透的新动能。 进一步,市场关注的核心在于,这种生态布局是否已成功转化为可量化的市场份额。 尽管难以直接归因,但招股书披露的数据提供了观察窗口。截至2025年10月,天瞳威视与超过24家主流整车厂建立合作关系,包括2024年中国销量前十车企中的9家--这意味着其在头部主机厂市场的渗透率达90%,传统汽车巨头与头部新势力的频繁身影由此可见一斑。海外维度,不乏中东、中亚及韩国等市场,在主流市场之外的差异化上,倒也表现出渗透能力。 而客户基本盘的持续扩容,能否在财务层面形成正向传导,是评估其商业模式健康度的关键指标。 据业内人士表示:"在智驾行业普遍处于高投入周期的阶段,能够在财务层面实现边际改善,且持续获得产业资本关注的公司,相对少见。从天瞳威视招股书披露的数据来看,其财务表现呈现出一定的结构性特征,是个不错的观察样本。" 四、结语 对于港股投资者而言,天瞳威视的IPO进程提供了一个观察智能驾驶赛道的新视角。当部分智驾企业普遍依赖故事叙事支撑估值时,天瞳威视通过量产收入与交付确认形成的财务结构,呈现出相对明确的盈利路径。在港股智驾板块估值承压的当下,这种以L2量产为底、L4交付变现为延伸的商业模型,能否获得市场溢价,值得持续关注。 本文转载自 | 格隆汇 张米
Lessn exceeds $100 million turnover on its payments orchestration platform
SYDNEY, March 3, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Accounts payable automation company Lessn today announced that it exceeded $100 million being transacted on its platform in February 2026 within its first year of operations, as the company considers a new investment round.The platform’s accounts payable technology links to medium to large owner-operators businesses’ accounting systems, typically Xero or MYOB, with funding sources such as rewards cards and bank-to-bank. Its system allows companies to improve cash flow, earn rewards and take advantage of pay-early discounts whilst maximising accuracy, automation and security for accounts teams.Clients include medical centres, real estate and construction businesses along with high net worth family offices.Lessn founder David Grossman is optimistic about the company’s continued fast growth trajectory.“Lessn surged through its $2 million revenue milestone in February 2026 and grew fivefold in recent months. We have found a sweet spot at the higher end of the medium to large-sized business market serving businesses that make payments of more than $100,000 per month, some into the millions.”“Lessn's payments orchestration platform goes beyond card payments. It wraps around accounting, banking, and card portals, opening a wide range of payment features surrounding accounts payable. This suits businesses that want to maximise rewards points and reduce trade finance costs whilst ensuring audit trails across their AP,” he said.During recent months, the company has attracted growing interest from both existing and new investors reflecting its strong growth profile, with billionaire property developer Theo Onisforou among investors “very seriously considering investing in the next investment round.”Investors in Lessn include Brendan Cook, founder of oOh!media, Dean Swan of monday.com and Michael Masterman, co-founder of Element Zero and Po Valley Energy, with $3 million already been invested in the company and its unique technology.As the company has grown its valuation has increased significantly, with a small investment round having raised $300,000 at a valuation of $30 million in November 2025.The business claims a serviceable addressable market of more than 1 million small to medium business in Australia, valued at more than $36 billion[1]. The company also has opportunities for international growth where countries have similar payments environments including Asia, New Zealand and the UK.[1] Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, 2025 Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. Approves AU$1.4 Million Deployment: The Remaining Capital Needed for a Second Generation
Technology Graphene Production Plant with Capacity of 10 Tons Per AnnumBrisbane, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 2, 2026) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Limited (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors of GMG has approved the investment of an additional AU$1.4 million, which is expected to complete the construction of the Company's Gen 2.0 Graphene Manufacturing Technology plant (the "Gen 2.0 Plant") capable of producing 10 tons of graphene per annum. The total capital cost for the Gen 2.0 Plant is an estimated AU$2.3 million, an expenditure that was largely included in the proposed use of proceeds for the March 2025 Bought Deal Financing of C$5,796,000.The Company's Board is happy with progress to date and is confident that the Gen 2.0 Plant project is on track to meet its original budget and expectation to be online by the middle of 2026. The early work and procurement of the long lead items is substantially complete, and engineering and design has commenced.The Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to be largely self-powered from standalone energy generation that utilizes renewable sources, an energy storage system and hydrogen enriched natural gas provided by tail gas power generation.Figure 1: GMG Headquarters LayoutTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/285998_graphene1.jpgGMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We are very excited with the progress to date of the Gen 2.0 project and are looking forward to bringing the plant online - on time and on budget."GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "A successful Gen 2.0 project will form the basis for the Company's future expansion plans."Quarterly Financial Results UpdateThe Company is pleased to provide a further update to its most recent Quarterly Financial Results as published and filed on March 2, 2026. The Company's results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This news release may include certain Non-IFRS measures as reported in the Company's Quarterly Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") that are used internally by management to assess the underlying operational performance of our business.Understanding the Non-Cash Warrant LiabilityAs at December 31, 2025, the Company had 18.6 million outstanding share purchase warrants with exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars. Because GMG's functional currency is the Australian dollar, IFRS accounting standards require these warrants to be treated as a derivative financial liability and revalued at fair value each reporting period.During Q2 FY2026, GMG's share price increased 178%, a strong performance that reflects growing market confidence. However, under IFRS, this share price increase results in a higher calculated fair value for the warrant liability, which in turn generates a non-cash loss in the Company's statement of profit or loss and a corresponding increase in total liabilities on the balance sheet.Key Points for Shareholders:This accounting adjustment is entirely non-cash and does not affect GMG's cash position, operations, or business fundamentals.The Company's cash balance at December 31, 2025 was A$13.9 million, up from A$7.7 million at June 30, 2025.Excluding the warrant liability, the Company's underlying net assets position at December 31, 2025 was positive A$21.5 million.The warrant liability decreases when warrants are exercised (converting the liability to equity and adding cash), or when the warrants expire or when the share price declines. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, approximately 2.9 million warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of A$3.6 million, further strengthening the Company's cash position and reducing the warrant liability by a corresponding amount.Management views the warrant liability as a technical accounting matter that does not reflect the Company's operational performance or strategic progress. The Company's market capitalization at December 31, 2025 was approximately USD$200 million.Non-IFRS MeasuresA Non-IFRS measure that the Company refers to in its MD&A is EBITDA, which is revenue before finance costs, tax, depreciation and amortization, and after adjusting for certain non-cash items and other earnings adjustment items. The Company believes that EBITDA provides useful information to assess the operational performance of the business, however, Non-IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS, have not been subject to audit, and should not be considered as an indication of or alternative to an IFRS measure of financial performance.Table 1: Calculation of EBITDATo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/285998_66807f3f541149e1_017full.jpgThe following table provides the reconciliation of the underlying loss for the period and adjusted basic diluted loss per share, as adjusted and calculated by the Company. This reconciliation adjusts for the non-cash change in fair value of warrants which is included in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.Table 2: Calculation of the unaudited adjusted loss for the period and adjusted basic and diluted loss per share, as adjusted and calculated by the Company.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/285998_66807f3f541149e1_018full.jpg(1) Due to the loss recognized for the years, all outstanding stock options, warrants, broker warrants, restricted share units and performance share units were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect. (2) Calculated using loss for the period over the weighted average number of ordinary shares as per IFRS.(3) Calculated using adjusted loss for the period over the weighted average number of ordinary shares (non-IFRS measure).About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries"). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed at improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries.GMG's 4 critical business objectives are:Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processesBuild Revenue from Energy Savings ProductsDevelop Next-Generation BatteryDevelop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution CapabilityFor further information, please contact:Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com, +61 415 445 223Leo Karabelas at Focus Communications Investor Relations, leo@fcir.ca, +1 647 689 6041Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.

Doubleview Gold Corp. Announces Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Hat Project; Robust Base-Case Economics with Strategic Scandium Upside
NPV:After-tax NPV(5%) of C$6.73 billion and IRR of 23% at Consensus Metal Prices After-tax NPV(5%) of C$13.53 billion and IRR of 39% at Spot Metal Prices.NPV Including scandium and the associated processing circuit: After-tax NPV(5%) of C$6.94 billion an IRR of 19% at Consensus Metal PricesAfter-tax NPV(5%) of C$14.52 billion and IRR of 32% at Spot Metal Prices.Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 2, 2026) - Doubleview Gold Corp (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of its 100%-owned polymetallic Hat porphyry project ("Hat" or "the Project"), in northwestern British Columbia. With major content of copper, gold, cobalt, silver, and scandium, Hat becomes an important source of critical minerals.Three processing scenarios were evaluated-Scenario A1 (A1) a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation base case using current testwork recoveries[1], Scenario A2 (A2), the same base case using expected recoveries1, and Scenario B (B), a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flowsheet with an added hydrometallurgical circuit and scandium recovery circuit-with results indicating the Project is financially attractive even without the scandium component.Highlights:Robust Project Economics: The PEA demonstrates a high-margin operation with an After-Tax NPV(5%) of C$4.96 billion (A1), C$6.73 billion (A2), or C$6.94 billion (B), and an IRR of 19% (A1), 23% (A2), or 19% (B) at analyst consensus metal prices[2]. Using a spot-price scenario[3], the Project delivers a compelling after-tax NPV(5%) of C$11.05 billion (A1), 13.53 billion (A2), or C$14.52 billion (B) and an IRR of 34% (A1), 39% (A2), or 32% (B).Sensitivity Highlight: Project economics show the greatest leverage to overall metal prices, with NPV (5%) ranging from C$3.2 billion to C$10.2 billion (IRR: 14%-32%) at ±20% on all metals; even under additional +20% CAPEX and +20% OPEX sensitivities, applied on top of a 25% contingency already embedded in the base case, all scenarios deliver IRRs of 16% or better, and Scenario B provides additional scandium oxide upside with NPV(5%) of C$6.2 billion-C$7.7 billion (IRR: 18%-20%) at ±40% metal price.Tier 1 Scale and Longevity: The mine plan supports a multi-decade life of 25 years at a 120,000 tonnes-per-day processing rate, underpinned by a resource base of 609 Mt at 0.43% CuEq[4] in the Measured and Indicated categories and 503 Mt at 0.41% CuEq4 in the Inferred category.High-Output Production Profile B: Envisioned as a conventional large-scale open-pit operation, the Project is expected to produce an average of over 74 kt of copper, 254 koz of gold, 376 koz of silver and 2.7 kt of cobalt annually during the first 10 years, with life-of-mine (LOM) average production of 67.6 kt Cu, 217 koz Au, 348 koz Ag, 2.5 kt Co, and 128 tonnes of scandium oxide per year. (NOTE: projected cobalt to be about 68% of North America's cobalt production based on 2024 production)Strategic Importance for Critical Minerals: The Project is positioned as a primary North American source of copper, scandium, and cobalt. With approximately 2.42 billion pounds of copper, 80 million pounds of cobalt and 2,415 tonnes of scandium oxide contained[5] in the Measured and Indicated categories, the Project represents an important discovery of critical minerals.Stable, Supportive Jurisdiction: Located in a premier mining district in British Columbia, the Project benefits from a stable regulatory environment. The Company is committed to engaging with local First Nations in a respectful manner and to working toward positive and constructive relationships as the Project advances.Catalyst for Development: The PEA serves as the technical foundation for an immediate transition into a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), providing a clear roadmap for early works and permitting activities in 2026 and 2027.Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented, "The results of this PEA confirm the scale, strength and long-term potential of the Hat Project. Delivering a post-tax NPV(5%) of up to C$6.94 billion and IRR of up to 23% at consensus prices, and even stronger metrics at spot prices, validates years of disciplined exploration and technical work by our team. Hat is demonstrating Tier 1 characteristics with a 25-year mine life, strong annual production profile and meaningful free cash flow generation. Importantly, the Project stands on its own without reliance on scandium, while still preserving significant upside from critical minerals as markets mature. We are excited to advance Hat to Pre-Feasibility and continue building a major Canadian critical metals project."Doubleview acknowledges that the Project is located on the traditional territories of the Tahltan Nation and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation, and recognizes their enduring relationship to and stewardship of the land and waters. Doubleview is committed to respectful, transparent, and ongoing engagement with First Nations and local communities whose territories overlap the Project area and access routes, with a focus on protecting water and the environment and advancing responsible development.PEA OVERVIEWThe PEA contemplates a conventional open-pit mine and processing operation with a 25-year mine life at a 120,000 t/d (42 Mt/a) plant throughput. Two processing pathways were evaluated, A1 and its alternative, A2, and B: the first alternative, A, is a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation concentrator with two recovery cases based on current metallurgical testwork, and A2, reflecting expected performance (Figure 1); and B, a full circuit that retains the base flowsheet and adds a downstream hydrometallurgical scandium recovery circuit (Figure 2).The tailings storage facility is a centreline-raised facility built with compacted cycloned sand from tailings underflow, and engineered drainage for stability, with site-contact waters (including seepage and pit dewatering) recycled to the process plant and final closure involving pond drainage and reclamation. The Project is expected to rely on grid power via an extended transmission line.Tables 1 to 3 summarize the key results of the PEA, including production, operating costs, capital expenditures, and the principal financial metrics; the sections that follow provide additional detail on the underlying assumptions, project design, and study outcomes.Table 1: PEA Study Summary-ProductionMetric UnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BMining SummaryStrip ratiot:t1.60Production Summary LOMAverage Annual ThroughputMt42CuEq Head Grade[6], [7]%0.42Cu Head Grade%0.19Au Head Gradeg/t0.19Ag Head Gradeg/t0.51Co Head Gradeg/t0.78Sc Head Grade6g/t28.35Cu Recovery%808985[8]Au Recovery%6675898Ag Recovery%5353688Co Recovery%3030788Sc Recovery%N/A728Overall Mass of Tailings to Process[9]%N/A12.5Year of Production Start of Sc2O38yearN/A4Average Annual Cu Productionkt63.670.867.6Total Cu Productionkt1,590.51,769.41,689.9Average Annual Payable Cukt61.768.765.7Total Payable Cukt1,542.81,716.31,642.2Average Annual Au Productionkoz161.1183.1217.3Total Au Productionkoz4,028.24,577.55,432.0Average Annual Payable Aukoz153.1173.9207.5Total Payable Aukoz3,826.84,348.75,188.6Average Annual Ag Productionkoz271.3271.3348.0Total Ag Productionkoz6781.66,781.68,700.9Average Annual Payable Agkoz244.1244.1318.6Total Payable Agkoz6,103.46,103.47,965.3Average Annual Co Productionkt1.01.02.5Total Co Productionkt23.923.962.2Average Annual Payable Cokt0.80.82.3Total Payable Cokt19.119.156.3Average Annual Sc2O3 ProductiontN/A128.4Total Sc2O3 ProductiontN/A3,209.5Total Sc2O3 PayabletN/A3,049.0 Table 2: PEA Study Summary-Operating CostMetricUnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BOperating Cost Average Mine Operating CostsC$/t-moved2.32Average Mine Operating CostsC$/t-milled6.03Processing Operating Cost[10]C$/t-milled7.937.9310.84Sc2O3 Processing Cost[11]C$/kg Sc2O3N/A939.55General & AdministrativeC$/t-milled2.562.562.56Total Operating CostsC$/t-milled16.2216.2222.96 Table 3: PEA Study Summary-Capital Expenditure and Financial MetricsMetricUnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BCapital Expenditure Initial Capital CostsC$M3,5523,6013,828Sustaining Capital CostsC$M2,7552,7554,006Closure and Reclamation CostC$M503Financial Metrics Exchange RateCAD/USD1.37Long Term Copper PriceUS$/lb4.88Long Term Gold PriceUS$/oz3,272.60Long Term Silver PriceUS$/oz50.22Long Term Cobalt PriceUS$/lb19.57Long Term Scandium Oxide PriceUS$/kgN/A1,500Average Annual EBITDAC$M8861,0711,242Total EBITDAC$M22,16226,77031,041Average Annual Free Cash Flow (Pre-tax)C$M7569401,061Free Cash Flow (Pre-tax)[12]C$M18,90423,51126,532Total Provincial Tax (inc.

This estimate followed the Micon International Ltd. (Micon) Mineral Resource estimate with an effective date of July 17, 2024. This MRE incorporates significant new data from the 2024 and 2025 exploration campaigns, with an effective date of February 4, 2026, and superseded the 2024 Micon estimate.Table 5: Hat MRE at a 0.2% CuEq Cut-Off Effective February 4, 2026Mineral Resource ClassificationTonnage(Mt)Average GradeMetal ContentCuEq(%)Cu(%)Au(g/t)Co(g/t)Ag(g/t)CuEq(Blb)Cu(Blb)Au(Moz)Co(Mlb)Ag(Moz)Measured2720.440.220.1876.260.372.611.111.4135.62.17Indicated3370.430.210.1976.810.393.211.311.8144.52.88Total M+I6090.430.210.1876.570.385.822.423.2280.15.05Inferred5030.410.180.1976.620.384.571.722.7766.24.19 Table 6: 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 US4.80/lb Cu, US20.00/lb Co, US3,200/oz Au, US46/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 C7.93/t milled processing cost and C2.90/t milled general and administrative cost, with a mining cost of C3.01/t plus incremental mining cost increasing by C0.015/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.PROCESSING SCENARIOSThe PEA evaluates two processing scenarios: (A) a conventional Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation concentrator at 120,000 t/d (42 Mt/a) with two recovery cases-A1 based on metallurgical testwork completed by Sepro Laboratories (Langley, BC) and A2 reflecting target/expected performance-and (B) a full circuit that retains the base flowsheet and adds a downstream hydrometallurgical scandium recovery circuit.The concentrator consists of crushing, grinding, flotation, concentrate handling, and tailings management, producing both a saleable approximately 25% Cu concentrate with co-product gold and by-product silver-cobalt credits and a pyrite concentrate enriched in cobalt; in the full-circuit case, the pyrite concentrate is roasted to generate sulphuric acid and a calcine that is then processed to recover cobalt, gold, silver, and copper; after stripping it will be precipitated as a sulphide to be admixed to the copper concentrate to improve grade, with the acid used to leach flotation tailings for scandium recovery, noting that the scandium circuit is a newer chemical process compared with the otherwise industry-standard flowsheet.Under A1 or A2 (Figure 1), the flowsheet produces a single saleable product-a copper concentrate with payable gold credits; the pyrite concentrate is not treated or marketed in this case and is only processed in B where the hydrometallurgical circuit enables recovery of cobalt (and additional Au-Ag) and supports the scandium circuit (Figure 2), which is planned to be constructed in a phased approach commencing in Year 3 of operations.Figure 1: Grinding and Flotation Flowsheet; Scenarios A1/A2 Report Copper Concentrate Only, while the Cobalt-Pyrite Flotation Stream Shown Is Included Only in Scenario BTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/285945_7d43165cf4f1bb4d_001full.jpgFigure 2: Scenario B Hydrometallurgical Plant Block Flow Diagram, Showing Downstream Treatment of the Cobalt-Pyrite Stream and Flotation of Tailings to Recover Cobalt (and Au-Ag) and Scandium, Including Sulphuric Acid Generation to Support the Scandium CircuitTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/285945_7d8c82e63416eab6_003full.jpgTable 7 summarizes the head grades, concentrate grades, and overall metallurgical recoveries from early testwork for the full circuit; A1 assumes only the reported recoveries to the Cu-Au concentrate, while the cobalt-pyrite concentrate and downstream recoveries are considered only in B.Table 7: Attainable Recovery from TestworkProductGradeRecoveryCopper (%)Cobalt (ppm)Gold (g/t)Silver (g/t)Copper(%)Cobalt(%)Gold(%)Silver(%)Head Grade0.211320.342.9----Copper-Gold Concentrate251160126880306653Cobalt-Pyrite Concentrate0.301605285482315Combined Concentrates----85788968Tailings0.05400.051.015221132 Early metallurgical testwork comprised metallurgical characterization studies under standard laboratory conditions to demonstrate metals recoverability for inclusion in the estimate of CuEq. No attempt was made to optimize flotation conditions, and more advanced flotation testwork was not undertaken. Consequently, the reported metallurgical recoveries are considered conservative, and it is reasonable to expect improvement with further testwork.A2, assumes improved copper and gold recoveries of 89% and 75%, respectively, reflecting expected performance from comparable Cu-Au porphyry flotation circuits following further optimization and testwork.Table 8 summarizes the recoveries assumption on each scenario.Table 8: Net Recovery for Each ScenarioNet Recovery Scenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BCu Recovery80%89%85%Au Recovery66%75%89%Ag Recovery53%53%68%Co Recovery30%30%78% CAPITAL COST SUMMARYTable 9 presents the estimated capital cost breakdown for the three evaluated scenarios, separating initial CAPEX from sustaining CAPEX and reporting costs in C$M by major cost area (processing plant, mining, pre-stripping, infrastructure, tailings and water management, Indirects/EPCM, and contingency).Total initial CAPEX is estimated at C$3,552 million (A1), C$3,601 million (A2), and C$3,828 million (B), reflecting the higher processing plant scope and associated indirects/contingency in Scenario B.Total sustaining CAPEX is estimated at C$2,755 million (A1/A2) and C$4,006 million (B), with the increase in B driven primarily by the inclusion of the hydrometallurgical plant and scandium recovery circuit within sustaining capital, while mining, infrastructure, and tailings sustaining components remain broadly consistent across scenariosTable 9: Capital Cost SummaryCapital Cost Summary UnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BInitial Capex Processing Plant (Excl.

Using an exchange rate of 1.37 CAD: 1.00 USD and long-term prices of US$4.88/lb Cu, US$3,272.60/oz Au, US$50.22/oz Ag, and US$19.57/lb Co (and US$1,500/kg Sc₂O₃ for B), the Project generates average annual EBITDA of C$886 million (A1), C$1,071 million (A2), and C$1,242 million (B). On a post-tax basis, NPV(5%) is estimated at C$4,963 million (A1), C$6,727 million (A2), and C$6,937 million (B) with corresponding post-tax IRRs of 19%, 23%, and 19%, and post-tax payback in Year 6 (A1), Year 5 (A2), and Year 7 (B). Total post-tax free cash flow is estimated at C$10,050 million (A1), C$12,961 million (A2), and C$14,763 million (B), reflecting the higher cash generation under the improved recovery case (A2) and the additional revenue streams in Scenario B, partially offset by the added capital and operating requirements of the hydrometallurgical and scandium circuits.SENSITIVITY ANALYSISSensitivity cases were evaluated for the key value drivers using after-tax NPV (5%) and after-tax IRR, including ±20% copper and gold prices, +20% initial capital, +20% operating costs and, for B, a ±40% scandium price sensitivity.Overall, the sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the Project's after-tax economics remain positive across the tested ranges, with the greatest variability in after-tax NPV(5%) and IRR driven by simultaneous changes in the overall metal price deck. Changes to copper and gold prices individually have a meaningful but smaller effect, while +20% initial CAPEX and +20% OPEX reduce value but do not eliminate Project attractiveness in any of the evaluated scenarios. Scenario B shows additional exposure to scandium oxide price, with after-tax NPV(5%) varying within a narrower range relative to the broader multi-metal price cases, indicating that scandium provides incremental upside while the base-case Cu-Au Project remains financially robust on its own.PERMITTING, RISKS, AND NEXT STEPSPermitting and EnvironmentalPermitting StatusThe permitting process will be supported by the continuation of environmental baseline studies, progression of engineering designs, and the initiation of socio-economic and cultural baseline studies.Due to the anticipated rate of resource extraction, it is expected that the Hat Project will be subject to both federal and provincial impact assessment pathways, so submission to both the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) and British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (B.C. EAO) for their review is currently anticipated. Agency determination will decide the appropriate level of agency collaboration under the existing cooperation agreement for the Hat Project to acquire a provincial Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) and/or federal Decision Statement.The company will also submit a Joint Mines Act and Environmental Management Act Application through the B.C. Major Mines Office. Additional federal authorizations, including Fisheries Act approvals and compliance with Metal and Diamond Mines Effluent Regulations (MDMER), and applicable provincial permits will be obtained concurrently with other assessment and permitting steps. This will not only support protection of the immediate environment through the life of the Project but also respect the rights of First Nations and promote social and economic wellbeing for local communities.Tailings and Water ManagementThe Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) includes a perimeter dyke primarily constructed from compacted cycloned sand. This material will be sourced from the coarse underflow of tailings processed through an on-site cyclone plant. Using the centreline raise method, the dam is designed to be free-draining, lowering the phreatic surface to facilitate geotechnical stability. During operations, seepage from the TSF will be directed to the process plant as reclaim water. Upon closure, the supernatant pond will be drained, and the tailings and dam surfaces will be reclaimed with a granular trafficability layer, followed by a growth medium and native revegetation.The water management strategy prioritizes the reuse of site-impacted water, directing TSF water, contact water from the waste rock storage facilities, and open-pit dewatering to the process plant for use as make-up water.Key Risks and OpportunitiesProject-wideTailings Storage Facility:The location and geometry of the TSF are subject to refinement following geotechnical investigations of the potential site areas. Similarly, the anticipated availability of cycloned sand and the storage requirements for the facility may be adjusted once laboratory testing of the tailings is conducted.The integration of this future site-specific data presents a significant opportunity to optimize the TSF design.Mineral Processing:Limited metallurgical and comminution data introduce uncertainty in equipment sizing and operating cost inputs; however, early results indicate the ore should be amenable to conventional Cu-Au flotation, with potential upside from improved recoveries and reduced reagent consumption through optimization.The scandium circuit is less mature and is sensitive to acid economics and hydrometallurgical performance, but offers meaningful value upside if recoveries, product quality, and operating stability are confirmed at larger scale.Mine Design:Pit slope design criteria and mine scheduling are subject to elevated uncertainty due to the limited geotechnical database, including incomplete definition of structural controls, rock mass variability, and groundwater conditions. This creates downside risk to slope angles, strip ratio, and operating conditions if adverse structures or hydrogeology are encountered; however, it also provides a clear opportunity to materially improve design confidence and potentially optimize slope geometry, mine sequencing, and dewatering requirements through focused data acquisition and updated analyses.Capital Cost estimates:As a PEA-level estimate, capital costs remain subject to the inherent uncertainty of a preliminary design basis and limited engineering definition; however, significant effort was undertaken to develop the estimate using a defined scope, preliminary equipment sizing, and factored/benchmark-based costing with appropriate indirects and contingency. This work provides a credible foundation for decision-making at this stage while also highlighting clear opportunities to optimize capital intensity through further engineering definition, value engineering, and targeted trade-off studies (e.g., comminution configuration, tailings strategy, infrastructure/power, and construction execution approach).Scandium specific:Scandium provides strategic upside given its small, concentrated global supply base and the growing premium placed on secure, qualified supply, but it carries higher execution and commercial risk due to limited scale-up testwork (variability, impurity control, reagent intensity), added residue-management and permitting complexity, and uncertainty around product specifications, pricing, and customer qualification.Next StepsResource:The Company is advancing the Project toward Pre-Feasibility by upgrading confidence in the current Mineral Resource estimate and improving definition of mineralization within the proposed mine plan area. The program will prioritize infill drilling to support conversion of Inferred Resources to Indicated (and, where appropriate, Measured), together with step-out drilling to test extensions of known mineralization and provide improved geological continuity for next-stage mine design, scheduling, and economic evaluation.Waste facilities:Field investigations will be conducted at potential TSF and waste rock storage sites to characterize subsurface conditions and identify suitable borrow materials for construction. These efforts will be supported by site-specific geotechnical and geochemical characterization of the tailings and waste rock. These data sets will inform a TSF design update to a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) level of engineering, encompassing an optimized siting and technology trade-off study.Metallurgy:Complete a comprehensive metallurgical testwork program on representative samples including comminution testwork (Bond Work Index, abrasion index, and related grindability tests) and metallurgical variability + locked-cycle flotation testing to define an optimal process flowsheet, mass balance, and optimized reagent scheme, and to produce samples for concentrate dewatering and preliminary smelter marketing.Progress the scandium work through targeted hydrometallurgical optimization including pulp density, free acidity/acid consumption, SX staging and extractant concentration, followed by an integrated pilot trial on bulk samples to validate scandium recovery, product quality, and circuit operability.Mine Design:A phased geotechnical program is recommended that includes re-analysis of existing boreholes (re-logging and detailed structural mapping, including oriented-core interpretation where available), establishment of geotechnical domains, targeted drilling and field mapping to confirm discontinuity sets and persistence, and hydrogeological data collection to constrain pore pressures and inflows. These data will support updated kinematic assessments and slope design analyses, refinement of inter-ramp and overall slope angles, and improved inputs to mine planning, risk management measures, and capital/operating cost estimates.Capital Costs Estimation:As the Project advances to PFS, the estimate will be progressively refined by advancing engineering to a higher level of definition, updating quantities and vendor inputs for major equipment and packages, tightening indirects and construction productivity assumptions, and executing focused optimization and constructability reviews to reduce contingency and improve overall cost confidence.NI 43-101 DISCLOSURE, QUALIFIED PERSONS, AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTSQualified PersonsThe scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by the following Qualified Persons (as defined under NI 43-101):Tomasz Wawruch, FAusIMM, Senior Geology and Mineral Resource Consultant of Mineit Consulting Inc.

(responsible for project infrastructure)Preliminary Economic Assessment Cautionary StatementThe Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Hat Project is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The PEA provides a conceptual mine plan and is based on low-level technical and economic assessments that are insufficient to support an evaluation of the economic viability of the Project or to establish Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the results of the PEA will be realized. Further exploration and site-specific engineering studies are required before a higher level of confidence can be established for the Project's economics.The economic analysis in the PEA is based on several assumptions including, but not limited to, long-term metal prices, foreign exchange rates, metallurgical recoveries, and capital and operating cost estimates. These assumptions are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the PEA or the forward-looking information contained in this release.Forward-Looking InformationCertain of the statements made and information contained herein may constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Often, these forward-looking statements can be identified using words such as "anticipates," "believes," "continue," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "projected," or the negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases.

With Step-Out Drilling Continuing, Radisson Demonstrates Meaningful Resource Growth at O’Brien with an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 2, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQB: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to report an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The Company is currently undertaking a fully-funded 140,000-metre step-out drill program at the Project with the objective of determining the scope of mineralization to a depth of 2 kilometres. This program commenced in 2025 and is expected to continue through the first half of 2027. Today's updated MRE is an interim report that demonstrates the impact of recent drilling successes completed as of December 31, 2025. Highlights include:82% increase in Inferred Mineral Resources from step-out drilling intersecting new mineralization, with 1.69 million ounces ("Moz") in 10.37 million tonnes ("Mt") at 5.08 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au");8% increase in Indicated Mineral Resources with 0.63 Moz in 3.49 Mt at 5.59 g/t Au;Estimated using US$2,500/oz Au and 2.2 g/t Au cut-off, with a refined geological model and capping strategy, establishing the go-forward basis for future, modern mine development.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "Today we report the first of several planned, step-by-step updates to the MRE at the O'Brien Gold Project, quantifying the impact of our recent drilling success and establishing a clear foundation for future, modern mine development. With just 25% of our 140,000 metre step-out drill program completed, the new vein mineralization delineated beneath the historic mine workings and the previous mineral resource volume (Radisson news release dated February 12, 2026) has resulted in an 82% increase in the quantity of Inferred Mineral Resources, now 1.69 Moz (10.37 Mt at 5.08 g/t Au). At the same time, we have refined the estimate of Indicated Mineral Resources, incorporating more tonnes at a lower average grade for an 8% increase in contained ounces, now 0.63 Moz (3.49 Mt at 5.59 g/t Au). Our estimates utilize a 2.2 g/t Au cut-off at a reasonable gold price assumption of US$2,500/oz.""The former O'Brien Mine was known for high-grade ore-shoots mined in small volumes. Mining ended in 1957 with the gold price at US$35/oz. Significant volumes of mineralized vein material, below what we believe to have been a 7 g/t to 8 g/t Au cut-off, were left untouched. Now, we are presenting the Project as it should be viewed for future development: not as a bespoke deposit of extreme grade and limited scale, but as an extensive Abitibi vein deposit with a substantial inventory of mineralized material amenable to modern mechanized mining at higher throughput." "Our step-out drill campaign at O'Brien is ongoing with up to eight rigs. We expect to complete 72,500 metres in 2026 and 32,500 metres in the first half of 2027. This is in addition to the meterage supporting today's updated MRE. The vein mineralization system we have been intersecting is open at depth. In fact, since our step-out drilling began in the fall of 2024, we have been seeing an impressive 84% success rate in intercepting classic O'Brien quartz-sulphide-gold veins with grades and thicknesses consistent with today's updated MRE. Looking to a 2-kilometre exploration floor, we believe an appropriate Exploration Target at O'Brien is another 5 Mt to 10 Mt at grades of between 4.0 g/t and 6.0 g/t Au containing 0.6 Moz to 2.0 Moz. We expect to complete further step-by-step updates to the MRE as our drilling progresses."Cautionary statement: Readers are cautioned 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, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues including risks set forth in Radisson's filings made with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.A video presentation of today's news by Matt Manson can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IZwSSYbO70.Mineral Resource Estimate (effective January 31, 2026)The MRE is based on 428,440 metres of drilling completed to the end of December 31, 2025, and has been authored by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. ("SLR"). The estimate utilizes a 2.2 g/t Au cut-off at US$2,500/oz and makes certain assumptions on mining and processing costs, currency exchange rate, and metallurgical recovery (Table 1 and Figure 1). A wireframe vein model prepared by Radisson and reviewed by SLR constrains the estimate and applies a minimum width of 1.2 metres. Individual assays are capped at 60 g/t Au prior to compositing to full width of the veins, and the block model utilizes 5 by 2 by 5 metre blocks consistent with recent mine design studies.Table 1: Mineral Resource Estimate, Effective January 31, 2026CategoryTonnes (kt)Grade (g/t Au)Oz (koz Au)Indicated3,4935.59628Inferred10,3685.081,692Notes:Prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definition Standards (2014) and Best Practice Guidelines of Mineral Resources and Reserves (2019).Mineral resources are reported above a cut-off grade of 2.2 g/t Au based on a C$215/t operating cost, a long-term gold price of US$2,500/oz Au, a US$/C$ exchange rate of 1:1.33, and a metallurgical recovery of 90%. Wireframes were modelled at a minimum width of 1.2 m.Bulk density varies by deposit and lithology and ranges from 2.76 t/m³ to 2.87 t/m³. Individual assays were capped at 60 g/t Au prior to compositing to full vein width.Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Numbers may not add due to rounding. An MRE for the Project was previously published in March 2023 (Radisson news release dated March 2, 2023) based on 325,509 metres of drilling completed to the end of 2022. Indicated Mineral Resources (effective March 2, 2023) were estimated at 0.50 Moz (1.52 Mt at 10.26 g/t Au) with additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.45 Moz (1.60 Mt at 8.66 g/t Au). The 2023 study applied a 4.5 g/t Au cut-off at US$1,600/oz Au.In July 2025, Radisson published a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Project that utilized the 2023 estimate re-blocked by SLR in the Z-direction from 10 metres to 5 metres to allow for more flexible underground mine design. A cut-off of 2.2 g/t Au at US$2,000/oz Au and an updated set of economic criteria were applied in the re-blocking exercise consistent with the parameters used for the optimization of the PEA's underground mine schedule. No other changes were made. Indicated Mineral Resources (effective May 6, 2025) were estimated at 0.58 Moz (2.20 Mt at 8.22 g/t Au) with additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.93 Moz (6.67 Mt at 4.35 g/t Au).The updated MRE released today benefits from 66,387 metres of additional drilling in 122 drill holes conducted between 2023 and 2025, which is the most significant factor in the increase of Inferred Mineral Resources (Figure 2). Radisson has also validated an additional 36,544 meters of historic drilling. The updated MRE utilizes similar estimation parameters to previously, but a more restrictive approach to capping. In the March 2023 estimate, and as incorporated in the re-blocked May 2025Figure 1: Block Models for the Mineral Resource Estimates Effective May 6, 2025 (Top) with Recently Published Drill Results and the Updated MRE Effective January 31, 2026 (Bottom) To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/285831_ef6502aeb443086a_001full.jpgestimate, capping at 40 g/t Au was applied to the full-length composites. In the updated MRE, capping has been applied at 60 g/t Au to the underlying assays prior to compositing. This has the effect of reducing the average grade by approximately 12%, and in the opinion of Radisson and SLR is an appropriate approach to a narrow high-grade vein deposit such as O'Brien.Figure 2: 3D View of Block Model by Resource Classification (Left) and Gold Grade (Right) Illustrating Volume Utilized in the Previous May 2025 MRE To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/285831_ef6502aeb443086a_002full.jpgCompared to previous estimates, the aggregate impact on the Indicated Mineral Resources of the new drilling, the 2.2 g/t Au cut-off, and the updated capping strategy has been to add more tonnes at a lower average grade for an overall increase in contained ounces. The aggregate impact of these three factors on the Inferred Mineral Resources has been the addition of more tonnes at a higher average grade for an overall increase in contained ounces. Indicated Mineral Resources have increased by 8% to 0.63 Moz, based on an increase in tonnes of 58% to 3.49 Mt and a decrease in grade of 32% to 5.59 g/t Au. Inferred Mineral Resources have increased by 82% to 1.69 Moz, based on an increase in tonnage of 55% to 10.37 Mt and an increase in grade of 17% to 5.08 g/t Au.O'Brien's system of Quartz-Sulphide-Gold vein mineralization remains open to depth across a broad front beneath the historic mine workings and the updated MRE. The potential continuation of this mineralization to a 2 kilometres depth defines an Exploration Target of an additional 5 Mt to 10 Mt at grades of between 4.0 g/t and 6.0 g/t Au containing 0.6 Moz to 2.0 Moz. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.Table 2: Sensitivities of the Mineral Resource Estimate Based on Cut-OffTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/285831_ef6502aeb443086a_003full.jpgA New Vision for the O'Brien Gold ProjectThe historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au. It is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with manual mining methods applied to the highest-grade veins and ore shoots at an estimated cut-off grade of 7 g/t to 8 g/t Au. Parallel but lower-grade mineralized zones, which would be well above an economic cut-off grade today, were left unmined.The updated MRE does not incorporate any mineral resources potentially remaining in the former mine. However, in applying the lower grade cut-off of 2.2 g/t Au based on a gold-price estimate of US$2,500, the new estimate captures the overall volume attributes of the O'Brien mineralizing system, with more tonnes and more ounces at a lower average grade. This has the benefit of improving the continuity of mineralization for future mine planning, with larger stopes and more development headings supporting a higher potential mining rate. The Project has existing mining infrastructure to support such a vision, such as a shaft in the former mine extending to a 1,000 metres depth and multiple mills in the region with significant future capacity.Table 2 illustrates sensitivities on Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources and the MRE block model based on cut-off grade. These are:a) 8.0 g/t Au (US$700/oz) representing the former mine,b) 4.5 g/t Au (US$1,250/oz) representing the MRE effective March 2, 2023,c) 2.2 g/t Au (US$2,500/oz) representing the updated MRE, andd) 1.5 g/t Au (US$3,800/oz) representing the recent long-term consensus price of gold.The comparison clearly indicates the relationship between volume and grade based on cut-off, the directionality of steeply-plunging grade shoots at O'Brien, and the increased continuity of mineralization achieved at progressively lower cut-offs.Gold Mineralization at O'Brien and Step-Out Drill ProgramGold mineralization at O'Brien occurs within quartz-sulphide veins developed primarily within the interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the regionally significant Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness, and are associated with mineralized alteration envelopes of 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. As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths.Since the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-out drilling at O'Brien with the objective of determining the overall scope of mineralization at the Project to a depth of 2 kilometres (Figure 1). The priority is the quantity and distribution of mineral resources with step-outs rather than in-filling to upgrade the classification of the existing mineral resources.This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the program to 140,000 metres employing an eventual eight drill rigs (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025). An initial 35,000 metres of the program were completed in 2025, with 72,500 metres budgeted for 2026, and a further 32,500 metres scheduled for the first half of 2027.QP DisclosureDisclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Richard Nieminen, P.Geo., (QC), a geological consultant for Radisson and a Qualified Person for purposes of NI 43-101. Mr. Luke Evans, M.Sc., P.Eng., ing., of SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd., is the Qualified Person responsible for the preparation of the MRE at O'Brien.

Focus Graphite Officially Commences Government-Supported Thermal Purification Project to Establish Dual-Use Graphite Production in Canada
$14.1M NRCan-Funded Program Begins with Six-Tonne Bulk Sample to Produce 500 kg High-Purity Graphite for Reactor Engineering and Product ValidationOttawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 2, 2026) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has shipped a six-tonne bulk ore sample from its 100%-owned Lac Knife Graphite Project ("Lac Knife" or the "Project") to SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") in Lakefield, Ontario, officially commencing pilot-scale processing under its Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") funded demonstration program. The program is designed to produce approximately five hundred (500) kilograms of graphite concentrate to support downstream thermal purification, final reactor engineering, and product validation initiatives.The six-tonne sample will undergo crushing, blending, head assays and metallurgical benchmarking prior to pilot-scale processing. SGS will operate a batch pilot flotation circuit to generate high-grade graphite concentrate targeting approximately 95% graphitic carbon. Final concentrate will be dried and screened into size fractions suitable for subsequent purification testing. The Company anticipates that concentrate will be produced and shipped to its technology partner, Thermal & Material Engineer Center ("TMEC"), within approximately eight to nine weeks to support the commencement of final reactor design work, with the balance of the three-month program consisting primarily of data compilation and reporting activities.As previously announced on December 8, 2025, the Company formalized a funding agreement for up to $14.1 million in non-repayable contributions under NRCan's Global Partnerships Initiative ("GPI"). The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources said, "As global demand for critical minerals accelerates, Canada is ready to lead. Focus Graphite's work at Lac Knife shows how we can build a fully Canadian value chain-from resource to high-purity graphite-and strengthen our economic security in the process. Advancing pilot-scale processing here at home supports good jobs, attracts investment and reinforces Canada's position as a trusted supplier in a changing world."Claude Guay, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, added, "Today's progress at Lac Knife shows how Canadian companies are translating ambition into action. By advancing pilot-scale processing here in Canada, Focus Graphite is helping build the downstream capacity that supports good jobs, strengthens regional economies and positions Canada to supply the advanced materials our partners rely on."Richard Pearce, Technical Advisor to Focus, stated, "SGS Lakefield is a globally recognized leader in mineral processing and pilot-scale metallurgical testing and has extensive familiarity with the Lac Knife flowsheet. This bulk sample program represents a key milestone as we advance Lac Knife toward vertically integrated, high-purity graphite production in Canada. Generating pilot-scale concentrate materially de-risks scale-up and accelerates our pathway toward commercial demonstration."The concentrate generated through this program will serve two primary strategic objectives. Material shipped to TMEC will support final engineering, detailed design optimization and preparation of construction-level specifications for the Company's thermal purification plant reactor, representing a critical step toward fabrication and demonstration-scale production. In parallel, a portion of the concentrate will be retained for customer qualification and product validation initiatives, enabling engagement with potential end users across battery, defence, and advanced materials sectors.

DOCOMO and NEC Launch Japan’s First Commercial 5G Core on AWS, Built with World’s First AI-automated Network Construction Technology
TOKYO, Mar 2, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT DOCOMO, INC. and NEC Corporation today announced the launch of Japan’s first commercial 5G core network (5GC) on Amazon Web Services (AWS) on February 26.(1) Advanced architecture, constructed using Agentic AI,(2) enables the network to flexibly and rapidly expand capacity, such as dynamically expanding its capacity in response to sudden traffic surges, for dramatically improved reliability, flexibility and sustainability.In a separate world-first achievement(3), DOCOMO and NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS, Inc. in collaboration with NTT DOCOMO SOLUTIONS, Inc. have also successfully automated 5GC design and construction on AWS. To do this, they leveraged Agentic AI—a combination of AI and GitOps(4) in a hybrid cloud environment. This innovative approach prevents human error and reduces construction time by approximately 80% compared to conventional methods.First in Japan to Construct and Commercially Launch 5GC on AWSIn March 2022, DOCOMO and NEC started verifying 5GC network equipment operating on a hybrid cloud using AWS, aiming to enhance network deployment flexibility and reliability. The process included testing the coordinated operation of the 5GC on AWS and DOCOMO’s proprietary virtualization platform,(5) as well as ensuring carrier-grade availability and operability.(6) Connecting the two platforms presented significant challenges, including network and security design considerations, but DOCOMO and NEC successfully overcame these issues to confirm that the 5GC operates seamlessly in a hybrid cloud environment.Building on this success, DOCOMO and NEC have now implemented the necessary fault tolerance and redundancy for a commercial environment, creating a hybrid cloud that combines their virtualization platform with a public cloud. In developing this environment, DOCOMO defined the requirements, established design policies, and reviewed the implementation method for the hybrid cloud. NEC redesigned the entire architecture to establish a construction and operation model based on infrastructure as code (IaC)(7) and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD)(8) for AWS. This process incorporated AWS managed services, such as AWS CloudFormation,(9) AWS CodeBuild,(10) and AWS CodePipeline,(11) into the design.This hybrid cloud environment is expected to improve network operational efficiency and enable the flexibility and reliability required in the 5G era. For example, building the 5GC on AWS in addition to a separate virtualization platform enables flexible operations, such as rapidly expanding capacity when network demand increases due to a sudden event, and scaling down when increased capacity is no longer needed.Additionally, operational tests confirmed a power consumption reduction of approximately 70%(12) by running the 5GC on AWS Graviton2(13) processors and conducting operational tests in a hybrid cloud environment that connected the 5GC on Graviton2 with the 5GC on DOCOMO’s virtualization platform. In a commercial environment, the 5GC built on AWS Graviton3 is expected to reduce environmental impact similarly.World’s First Automation of 5GC Network from Design to Construction Using GitOps and AIDOCOMO and DOCOMO BUSINESS, in collaboration with DOCOMO SOLUTIONS, achieved the world’s first automation of 5GC design and construction using GitOps(14) and AI, aiming to prevent human error and shorten the construction period.DOCOMO and DOCOMO SOLUTIONS used GitOps to automate construction from the cloud infrastructure up to the 5GC. DOCOMO BUSINESS automated the 5GC design and construction processes, as well as the development of Agentic AI, while NTT DOCOMO SOLUTIONS implemented and verified the AWS infrastructure portion of GitOps.To minimize manual tasks, such as designing configuration values, they adopted Agentic AI with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore,(15) AWS’s agentic AI platform for building, deploying, and operating effective agents securely at scale, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP),(16) creating a new architecture integrated with GitOps.Conventionally, 5GC construction required the creation and modification of numerous complex configuration files, a process that demanded significant manpower and time. However, by implementing Agentic AI with multiple AI agents using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, DOCOMO BUSINESS was able to automate tasks such as designing configuration values, creating settings files, and issuing construction instructions to GitOps. Consequently, they succeeded in automating everything from design to construction. As a result, the 5GC construction period was reduced by approximately 80% compared to conventional methods.In the future, the companies plan to improve access to their knowledge base and optimize task allocation among AI agents, aiming to achieve faster network speeds and higher precision. They will also expand the scope of AI utilization and accelerate efforts toward the complete automation of 5GC operations by enhancing reproducibility, reliability and operational efficiency through AI-driven generation and execution.This automated 5GC construction solution using Agentic AI is currently on display at the NTT booth (Hall 3, Stand 3M29) at the 2026 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Through this exhibition, DOCOMO and NEC aim to communicate the innovation and uniqueness of their world-leading communication infrastructure for an AI-powered world.Executive CommentsNobuko Hiraguchi, Executive Officer, General Manager of Core Network Design Department, NTT DOCOMO, INC.“This initiative is a major step forward in DOCOMO’s ongoing effort to advance networks. We have integrated AWS’s scalable cloud platform, which flexibly supports advanced initiatives, including AI, with NEC’s highly reliable 5GC and DOCOMO BUSINESS’s Agentic AI expertise. Also, combining on-premises and cloud technologies enhances network reliability and the ability to respond to demand. Furthermore, shortening the 5GC construction period on the public cloud through AI automation will allow us to deliver services to customers more quickly. I believe our proactive approach to embracing AI has led to this world-first achievement. DOCOMO will continue to take on new challenges to provide communication services that our customers will choose.”Takashi Sato, Corporate Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Network Solutions Business Division of NEC Corporation“NEC is proud to contribute to the transformation of communication infrastructure alongside DOCOMO and AWS by providing our 5GC software. Since 2022, we have been addressing the challenge of creating a carrier-grade 5GC network in the cloud through technical verification. This commercial deployment is the result of combining Japanese telecommunications technology with a global cloud platform to create world-leading communication infrastructure. NEC will continue to contribute to the network evolution of our telecommunications carrier partners in the future.”Yuichi Ikejiri, Deputy Senior Vice President, Innovation Center, NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS, Inc.“I am honored to have participated in this project. Agentic AI’s automated construction of 5GC will transform the core network construction process, which has traditionally required significant time and specialized knowledge for design, verification and configuration. Starting with this initiative, we will continue to leverage the power of AI to shorten service provision lead times, standardize design and construction processes, and ensure consistent quality, thereby enabling us to deliver services to the market more quickly and reliably.”Mikihiko Tsunematsu, Director, Telecom, Media, Entertainment, Game & Sports, Strategic Business Unit, Amazon Web Services Japan“NTT DOCOMO has led the telecommunications industry as a technology leader and has driven various innovations through its longstanding partnership with AWS. Applying AI and cloud to telecommunications unlocks new possibilities for operators to respond to customer needs more quickly and flexibly while delivering stable communication services. AWS will continue to collaborate with DOCOMO and NEC toward the evolution of telecommunications infrastructure that supports people's lives and industrial development.”(1) As of March 2, 2026, based on DOCOMO research.(2) System in which multiple AI agents, each with a specific role, automate an entire workflow toward a goal while dynamically updating their action plans according to the situation.(3) As of March 2, 2026, based on DOCOMO research.(4) Operational automation methodology for continuously aligning an environment by managing the entire state of infrastructure and application configurations (e.g., setting files and manifests) in Git and automatically detecting and synchronizing any differences.(5) Proprietary platform developed by DOCOMO that can run core network equipment from multiple vendors. 70% of DOCOMO’s commercial core network equipment operates on this platform.(6) NTT DOCOMO and NEC are Onboarding 5G SA Core Using Energy-efficient and High-performance AWS Cloud Computing Services(7) Practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure components such as servers, networks, and storage through code (e.g., YAML or JSON).

AI Safety Asia Advances Crisis Diplomacy and Evidence-Based AI Governance at India AI Impact Summit 2026
HONG KONG, Mar 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, AI Safety Asia (AISA) convened two important conversations on the future of AI governance. The first examined how governments should respond when AI-related crises unfold across borders at machine speed. The second marking the launch of the International AI Safety Report 2026.Taken together, these sessions showed a change in the debate; moving past whether AI should be governed to a focus on how.Who verifies claims made by powerful systems?

AI Safety Asia Advances Crisis Diplomacy and Evidence-Based AI Governance at India AI Impact Summit 2026
Hong Kong – March 02, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, AI Safety Asia (AISA) convened two important conversations on the future of AI governance. The first examined how governments should respond when AI-related crises unfold across borders at machine speed. The second marking the launch of the International AI Safety Report 2026. Taken together, these sessions showed a change in the debate; moving past whether AI should be governed to a focus on how. Who verifies claims made by powerful systems? Who coordinates when an incident crosses jurisdictions in seconds? Who is responsible when an autonomous system acts, and no single ministry appears in charge? As AI systems become more agentic and embedded deeper into critical infrastructure, they are forcing diplomatic and regulatory institutions to respond in real time.

Fujitsu supports sustainable growth for retailers with data and AI through Uvance for Retail
KAWASAKI, Japan, Mar 2, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited today announced the launch of Uvance for Retail, a solution that integrates data onto a robust and secure cloud. The solution, which leverages Fujitsu's accumulated business knowledge and implementation capabilities, also incorporates advanced technologies such as agentic AI. By seamlessly connecting fragmented data and operations across retail sites, Fujitsu aims to enhance both on-site execution capabilities and management decision-making and support the sustainable growth and competitiveness of Japan's retail industry.Even as AI and digital technologies evolve rapidly, the Japanese retail industry faces extremely complex and structural challenges such as population decline, intensifying competition, labor shortages, and rising costs. Underlying these challenges is the overwhelming amount of data required for decision-making compared to other industries, coupled with the current situation where systems are fragmented by operation and data is scattered. Furthermore, data structures differ among manufacturers and wholesalers, leading to data silos and making cross-sectional utilization difficult. As a result, people are forced to make decisions without fully utilizing vast amounts of data, leading to increased burden. This situation undermines the agility that the retail industry has traditionally demonstrated, leading to a decline in competitiveness.For over 50 years, Fujitsu has supported the Japanese retail industry, and possesses a deep understanding of the business and related data structures developed through discussions with numerous customers and various business endeavors. Furthermore, by welcoming GK Software and BrainPad Inc. into the group, Fujitsu has strengthened its comprehensive support system, integrating industry-rooted knowledge with cutting-edge technology. By providing this accumulated retail industry knowledge and technology as Uvance for Retail, which transforms on-site execution and management decision-making as one, Fujitsu aims to enhance corporate agility and support the sustainable growth of the Japanese retail industry.Uvance for Retail comprehensively provides the capabilities necessary for retail business growth, with data and AI at its core. Fujitsu's retail-specialized consultants define management and operational challenges, leveraging their years of industry expertise to design an ideal state that includes business processes and core systems. Subsequently, offerings incorporating agentic AI are implemented by system engineers with deep retail knowledge, ensuring their effective utilization in daily operations. AI rooted in business processes enables advanced decision-making and operational autonomy. Fujitsu also provides the platform that safely connects operations, systems, and data for supporting these. Through Uvance for Retail, Fujitsu aims to innovate experiences for consumers and employees, enhance supply chains, and advance the future of retail.Uvance for Retail: Value creation and visionExhibition at RetailTech JAPAN 2026Fujitsu will exhibit at RetailTech JAPAN 2026, held at Tokyo Big Sight from March 3 to March 6, 2026. Fujitsu will focus on the value provided by Uvance for Retail through data and AI, showcasing various use cases as exhibition demos.Overview of main exhibits for Uvance for Retail1. Enhancing customer touchpoints with causal inference AIFor companies struggling to provide personalized experiences to all customers due to labor shortages, thereby missing opportunities for loyalty improvement, Fujitsu will support a deeper understanding of customers using its unique causal inference AI. Fujitsu's causal inference AI is characterized by its ability to clarify not just correlations but the "why" behind customer actions and outcomes, based on vast and complex operational and customer data. Using a proprietary algorithm, it can rapidly explore causal relationships even in data involving thousands of variables and a mix of operational, customer, and external factors. Visitors can see concrete examples of how AI reveals the causal structure behind customer behavior and needs, leading to enhanced customer service and touchpoints.2. Advanced management and operational decision-making with multi-AI agentsApparel merchandisers are required to accurately grasp the situation of each store and issue optimal instructions promptly. However, due to data fragmentation across different operations and systems, decision-making takes time, leading to missed opportunities. Fujitsu's multi-AI agent system enables multiple AI agents with different roles to collaborate, making cross-functional judgments and providing support across the entire operation. It presents the analysis results of each agent in an easy-to-understand manner and facilitates subsequent actions based on human judgment, enabling swift and effective decision-making.In the exhibition demo, Fujitsu's AI agent Watomo analyzes various data, notifies merchandisers of alarms that need attention, and performs simulations with merchandisers on how to address operational issues. Visitors can see concrete examples of how AI agents support advanced human decision-making and on-site responses.Press Conference MaterialsHeld on March 2, 2026Presentation materials and movie *Coming soonAbout FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation. As the digital transformation partner of choice for customers around the globe, our 113,000 employees work to resolve some of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Our range of services and solutions draw on five key technologies: AI, Computing, Networks, Data & Security, and Converging Technologies, which we bring together to deliver sustainability transformation.

WELIREG(R) (belzutifan) Plus LENVIMA(R) (lenvatinib) Reduced the Risk of Disease Progression or Death by 30% Compared to Cabozantinib in Certain Previously Treated Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)
RAHWAY, NJ and TOKYO, Mar 2, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA (known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada) and Eisai (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito) today announced the first presentation of results from the Phase 3 LITESPARK-011 trial evaluating the dual oral regimen of WELIREG® (belzutifan), Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA’s first-in-class oral hypoxiainducible factor-2 alpha (HIF-2α) inhibitor, plus LENVIMA® (lenvatinib), an orally available multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) discovered by Eisai, for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) whose disease progressed on or after treatment with anti-programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)/ programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy. These data are being presented as a late-breaking oral abstract at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Symposium (abstract #LBA417) and are included in the official ASCO GU Press Program.At a pre-specified interim analysis with a median follow-up of 29.0 months (range, 19.3-49.2), WELIREG plus LENVIMA demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS), reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 30% (HR=0.70 [95% CI, 0.59-0.84]; p=0.00007) compared to cabozantinib. For WELIREG plus LENVIMA, the median PFS was 14.8 months (95% CI, 11.2-16.6) versus 10.7 months (95% CI, 9.2-11.1) for cabozantinib. A trend toward improvement in overall survival (OS), the trial’s other primary endpoint, was also observed for WELIREG plus LENVIMA (HR=0.85 [95% CI, 0.68-1.05]; p=0.06075). The median OS was 34.9 months (95% CI, 27.5-NR) for WELIREG plus LENVIMA versus 27.6 months (95% CI, 24.0- 31.4) for cabozantinib. The trial is continuing, and OS will be evaluated at a subsequent analysis per the clinical trial protocol.Based on data from the LITESPARK-011 trial, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted two supplemental New Drug Applications (sNDA) for review seeking approval for WELIREG plus LENVIMA for the treatment of adult patients with advanced RCC with a clear cell component following a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor. The FDA set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), or target action date, of October 4, 2026, for both the WELIREG and LENVIMA sNDAs. Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA and Eisai will also discuss these data with regulatory authorities worldwide to support potential submissions outside the United States.“Choosing the right treatment for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma after immunotherapy has been an ongoing challenge, and treatment options in this setting had not previously been evaluated against a current standard of care tyrosine kinase inhibitor in a Phase 3 trial,” said Dr. Robert Motzer, Principal Investigator and Genitourinary Medical Oncologist, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. “The LITESPARK-011 study demonstrated a 30% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death with belzutifan plus lenvatinib compared to cabozantinib, and 52.6% of patients experienced a response to treatment. These findings mark a critical step forward for these patients.”“The LITESPARK-011 trial highlights the potential of this first-of-its-kind combination regimen to deliver a meaningful benefit for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma whose disease progresses after PD-1/L1 therapy,” said Dr. M. Catherine Pietanza, Vice President, Global Clinical Development, MSD Research Laboratories. “These WELIREG plus LENVIMA data demonstrate important progress for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma and reinforce our commitment to improving the lives of patients through innovative treatment strategies.”“The LITESPARK-011 results reinforce LENVIMA's established role in renal cell carcinoma and highlight the potential of this novel combination to address an area of significant unmet need,” said Dr. Corina Dutcus, Senior Vice President, Oncology Global Clinical Development Lead at Eisai. “The acceptance of this regulatory filing is an important milestone, and we remain committed to working toward approval to bring this option to patients as soon as possible. We are grateful to the patients, their families, and the investigators, whose dedication made this research possible.”Additional findingsData for objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR), two key secondary endpoints, were also reported. At the first interim analysis with a median follow-up of 19.6 months (range, 9.9-39.8), WELIREG plus LENVIMA met ORR, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement compared to cabozantinib. A confirmed ORR of 52.6% (95% CI, 47.3-57.7) was observed for WELIREG plus LENVIMA versus 39.6% (95% CI, 34.6-44.8) for cabozantinib.

Key secondary endpoints include ORR per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BICR, DOR per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BICR, and safety. The trial enrolled 747 patients who were randomized to receive WELIREG (120 mg orally once daily) plus LENVIMA (20 mg orally once daily) or cabozantinib (60 mg orally once daily).About renal cell carcinomaRenal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer, with about nine out of 10 kidney cancer diagnoses being RCC.1 In 2022, there were about 435,000 new cases of kidney cancer and approximately 156,000 deaths from the disease worldwide.2 RCC is about twice as common in men as in women.1 Most cases of RCC are discovered incidentally during imaging tests for other abdominal diseases. Approximately 30% of patients with kidney cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage.3About Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA’s research in genitourinary cancersMerck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA is advancing research aimed at helping transform the treatment landscape and broaden options for people with genitourinary (GU) cancers, including bladder, kidney and prostate cancers. Globally, GU cancers account for an estimated 2.6 million new cancer diagnoses each year, equaling over 1 in 8 of all cancer incidences. Through a robust clinical development program with more than 50 clinical trials evaluating more than 22,000 patients around the world, Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA is investigating the potential of several portfolio medicines and pipeline assets, leveraging multiple novel combination strategies, across various stages of disease, to help address unmet needs in GU cancers.About WELIREG® (belzutifan) 40 mg tablets, for oral useWELIREG, Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA’s first-in-class hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha (HIF-2α) inhibitor, is an orally administered small-molecule designed to reduce transcription and expression of HIF-2α target genes associated with cellular proliferation, angiogenesis and tumor growth. By inhibiting HIF-2α signaling, WELIREG aims to disrupt key pathways certain tumors may use to adapt to low-oxygen conditions, including those that help promote abnormal blood vessel formation and support tumor survival.WELIREG has demonstrated antitumor activity in certain von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease-associated tumors, renal cell carcinoma and in pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. As part of a broader clinical program, Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA continues to research WELIREG monotherapy and combination approaches for people with genitourinary, breast and gynecologic cancers across a range of treatment settings to further define where HIF-2α inhibition may provide clinical benefit and to better understand which patients are most likely to respond.About LENVIMA® (lenvatinib); available as 10 mg and 4 mg capsulesLENVIMA, discovered and developed by Eisai, is an orally available multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits the kinase activities of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors VEGFR1 (FLT1), VEGFR2 (KDR), and VEGFR3 (FLT4). LENVIMA inhibits other kinases that have been implicated in pathogenic angiogenesis, tumor growth, and cancer progression in addition to their normal cellular functions, including fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors FGFR1-4, the platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα), KIT, and RET. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, LENVIMA decreased tumor-associated macrophages, increased activated cytotoxic T cells, and demonstrated greater antitumor activity in combination with an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody compared to either treatment alone.

The Tomorrow Company Launches With a Bold Mandate to Build the Infrastructure Layer of the AI-Native Financial Era.
Vancouver, BC, Mar 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Tomorrow Company (“TMRW”) today announced the completion of its strategic merger with Carbon Distributed Technologies AG (“CUT”) and Plato Technologies Inc., forming an integrated Web3 infrastructure platform positioned at the convergence of artificial intelligence, tokenized real-world assets, and programmable climate markets.The Company is launching with a clear conviction: the next decade of value creation in digital finance will belong to those who build and own infrastructure — not interfaces. Systems that are programmable. Intelligence that is embedded. Assets that are verifiable. Rails that institutions can scale on.Global markets are entering a structural transformation. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming embedded into capital allocation, enterprise operations, and regulatory oversight. Digital assets are evolving from trading vehicles into programmable utility frameworks capable of moving value instantly and transparently. Climate accountability is moving from narrative commitments to measurable, auditable instrumentation.The Tomorrow Company is designed to operate at the intersection of these structural shifts — and to grow with them. The merger unites two powerful and complementary platforms.CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG contributes a tokenized carbon utility framework structured around verifiability, traceability, and retirement mechanics. Built within Liechtenstein’s Blockchain Act framework and deployed on Ethereum Mainnet, CUT’s model emphasizes measurable CO₂ reduction linkage and immutable audit trails across issuance, transfer, and retirement. As regulators, institutions, and global enterprises demand higher standards of disclosure and impact validation, programmable carbon infrastructure becomes foundational to next-generation capital markets.Paul Thomson, Co-Founder of CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG, commented:“Tokenized commodities are moving from intention to instrumentation. For tokenized carbon credits, what matters now is verifiability—traceable assets, defensible controls, and retirement mechanics that stand up to real scrutiny. By integrating into The Tomorrow Company’s broader infrastructure platform, we believe we can accelerate adoption and bring institutional-grade carbon instrumentation to global markets.”Complementing this climate utility layer is Plato Technologies Inc., which brings an AI-driven intelligence engine purpose-built to convert fragmented global data into deployable, decision-ready workflows. Plato’s vertically focused intelligence products are designed for repeat enterprise usage and global distribution, with an operating discipline centered on scalable infrastructure and cost efficiency.Bryan Feinberg, CEO and Founder of Plato Technologies Inc., stated:“AI is only transformative when it moves from insight to execution. This merger connects measurable data verticals with a distribution-driven intelligence engine designed to operate at scale. The opportunity ahead is not incremental — it is to embed AI directly into the infrastructure layer of emerging digital markets.”The Tomorrow Company is structured as a diversified Web3 infrastructure holding platform with multiple reinforcing value engines. The strategy extends beyond a single asset class or vertical. Leadership intends to expand tokenized asset frameworks beyond carbon into additional real-world asset categories where verifiability and programmability unlock new liquidity. The Company plans to accelerate the deployment of vertical AI intelligence products across sectors where data fragmentation creates inefficiencies. It also intends to pursue selective acquisitions and integrations aligned with durable utility, regulatory alignment, and institutional capital flows.Management believes that over the coming years, the convergence of AI and tokenization will redefine how capital is raised, allocated, verified, and measured. Markets will increasingly reward platforms that can demonstrate programmable accountability, embedded intelligence, and infrastructure resilience. TMRW’s long-term objective is to build a compounding portfolio of infrastructure assets that operate beneath market cycles — generating value through adoption, integration, and scale rather than volatility.The Company’s growth roadmap includes expanding institutional partnerships, deepening blockchain-native infrastructure capabilities, and deploying AI systems that integrate directly into financial and enterprise workflows. As tokenized real-world assets and AI-native markets expand globally, The Tomorrow Company aims to position itself as a foundational infrastructure layer — enabling new asset classes, accelerating measurable climate action, and embedding intelligence into digital capital flows.This launch represents the beginning of an expansion strategy, not its culmination. The leadership of The Tomorrow Company believes that the coming cycle will see a dramatic re-rating of infrastructure-layer platforms that combine regulatory alignment, programmable assets, and deployable AI systems. TMRW is entering the market with the ambition to help define that category.About The Tomorrow CompanyThe Tomorrow Company is a Web3 infrastructure and digital asset holding company focused on building foundational rails for the AI-native financial era. Through strategic acquisitions, tokenized utility frameworks, and vertically deployable intelligence products, TMRW seeks to architect scalable systems designed for institutional-grade adoption and long-term compounding growth.About CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AGCUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG operates CUT.eco, a tokenized carbon utility platform focused on verification, traceability, and transparent retirement mechanics under Liechtenstein’s blockchain regulatory framework.About Plato Technologies Inc.Plato Technologies Inc. develops AI-powered, vertically focused intelligence products designed to transform aggregated global data into deployable workflows and scalable Web3 AI capabilities.Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains forward-looking statements relating to anticipated strategic benefits, expansion initiatives, market opportunities, and future performance.
