Other notable participants include Hillhouse, CPE, Boyu Capital, Gaoyi Asset Management, and Greenwoods Asset Management, alongside insurance and specialized funds like CPIC, ORIX, and Walden International.This diverse group of high-caliber investors signals a strong market consensus: Sigenergy is recognized as a unique player in the “AI + All-in-One PV Storage” sector, underpinned by proprietary technology, high entry barriers, and predictable growth. Beyond a mere endorsement of the company, this capital influx confirms the market’s conviction that “AI-native” architecture is the definitive standard for next-generation energy storage.Market confidence is supported by Sigenergy’s rapid scale-up. According to the prospectus, the company’s revenue grew from RMB 58.30 million in 2023 to RMB 9.00 billion in 2025, increased 154.4 times in two years. During this period, gross margins expanded from 31.3% to 50.1%, with an adjusted net margin reaching 35.9%. These figures validate the commercial viability of Sigenergy’s “AI-native” technology path.Differentiation Through “AI-Native” TechnologyUnlike traditional “hardware-first, AI-enabled” peers, the company established a more thorough “AI-native” path by integrating artificial intelligence across product design, manufacturing, and business models, the company has achieved a system that is inherently intelligent and capable of continuous evolution.Its flagship product, SigenStor, is a five-in-one system that combines an inverter, EV DC charging module, and battery pack into a modular, stackable unit which achieves a deep integration of power electronics, cloud and AI technologies, enhances product performance while delivering a more convenient user experience.The actual value of system’s “AI-native” capabilities is particularly effective in markets with dynamic electricity pricing. Facing fluctuations on an hourly or even minute-by-minute basis, traditional “charge at low, use at high” strategies based on fixed rules are no longer sufficient. By analyzing real-time prices, weather forecasts, and consumer habits, the system optimizes energy scheduling. In the Swedish market, SigenStor helped users reduce electricity costs by an average of 70.3%, showing the effective translation from AI technology into tangible financial benefits.Sigenergy continuously strengthens its competitive edge through a “Data-Intelligence” closed-loop. As global install base grows, the system leverages real-world operational data to undergo autonomous learning and optimization. This evolution directly translates into superior economic returns for users, which in turn fosters brand loyalty and higher retention. This data-driven cycle creates a powerful network effect, establishing a formidable, long-term barrier to entry in the Energy AI sector.Since its launch, SigenStor has established a strong global presence through its unique value proposition. According to Frost & Sullivan, Sigenergy has become the world No.1 provider of stackable distributed PV and storage all-in-one solutions in 2024, securing a 28.6% market share. Further data from SunWiz confirms that in 2025, the company ranked first in the under-1000kWh segment across Australia, Ireland, and South Africa, while maintaining a top-tier position in the UK, Sweden, and the Netherlands. This deep penetration into high-value markets has delivered significant commercial returns and reinforced Sigenergy’s brand equity. As the company expands into the Asia-Pacific and Latin American regions, its growth trajectory remains robust.To support the trajectory, the company has built a robust manufacturing footprint with production bases in Lingang and Jinqiao, Shanghai, as well as Nantong, Jiangsu. By the end of 2025, the company achieved an annual design capacity of nearly 360,000 inverters and over 5.6 GWh of energy storage batteries. This infrastructure provides a stable foundation for the company’s ongoing global expansion.The successful HKEX listing marks a significant milestone in Sigenergy’s commitment to innovation and recognizes its substantial growth potential. Entering this new chapter, and with the support of premier institutional investors, Sigenergy will focus on optimizing resource integration and accelerating its global ‘AI + Energy Storage’ strategy. By solidifying its technological leadership and market presence, the company aims to build a sustainable foundation for long-term value creation.For inquiries, please contact:EVER BLOOM (HK) COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANTS GROUP LIMITEDMs. Claire ZhangTel: (852)3468 8171Email: project_alps.list@everbloom.com.cn Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

GMG Doubles Energy Density of 6 Minute Charging Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery

April 15, 2026
BRISBANE, AUS, Apr 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the latest progress update on the Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery technology ("G+A CELLS") being developed by GMG and the University of Queensland ("UQ") under a Joint Development Agreement with Rio Tinto, one of the world's largest metals and mining groups, and with the support of the Battery Innovation Center of Indiana ("BIC") in the United States of America.The GMG G+A CELLS have now demonstrated superior performance characteristics when compared to a representative market leading ultra-fast charging batteries, the Lithium Titanate Oxide ("LTO") batteries, which can be sold at a premium price of up to US$1200/kWh.1Figure 1 shows the current energy density of G+A CELLS, based on BIC testing, and shows the doubling in performance (26 to 49 Wh/kg) since the previous announcement in December 20252 and in comparison, to a representative market leading fast charging high power LTO batteries.Figure 1: Increase in Energy Density for G+A CELLS since December '25 UpdateTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_figure1.jpgFigure 2 shows the charge and discharge curves for the G+A CELLS when charged in 6 minutes (10C) and 60 minutes (1C). The energy density of the cells for the G+A CELLS when charged in 60 minutes (1C) is now 101 Wh/kg when charging to 100% State of Charge (SOC) which is an increase from 58 Wh/kg from the previous update. This shows the G+A CELLS have a nominal voltage of approximately 3.2 Volts (an increase from 3.0 Volts in the previous update). The G+A CELLS maintained performance over hundreds of cycles at 6-minute fast charging rate (10C).Figure 2: Battery performance curves of G+A CELLS at 60 min and 6min charge (1C & 10C)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_9a72ca9bb4963a29_001full.jpgBob Galyen, GMG Non-Executive Director and former CTO of CATL - the largest battery manufacturer in the world, commented: "With the possibility of charging from empty to full in around six minutes, this chemistry fundamentally changes how designers can think about electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and stationary storage. Instead of planning around long charge stops with large packs, engineers can optimise for rapid energy turnaround, with higher power, and safer, with GMG's battery made from abundant raw materials. Lithium-ion will remain a key part of the energy landscape for years to come, but its limitations in fast charging, temperature tolerance, and critical-mineral supply are increasingly evident. By leveraging aluminium and graphene, the GMG team is demonstrating a pathway to reduce reliance on traditional lithium-based systems and or combinatorial systems with multiple battery technologies while delivering step-change improvements in charge time and power density. This is not an incremental tweak to existing cells - it is a new platform that can open markets and use cases that were previously uneconomic or impractical. The companies that adapt quickest to this shift will lead the next wave of electrification, and GMG intends to be at the centre of that transition with graphene aluminium-ion technology."Standard commercial Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt ("LNMC") and Lithium Iron Phosphate ("LFP") battery cells for electric vehicles and stationary storage are NOT designed for continuous 6-minute charging (10C); typical recommended charge rates are ≤1 hour (1C), often 2 hours (0.5C), with only limited fast charge operation. Only specialized high-power cell designs like LTO battery cells can tolerate charge rates of 6 minutes (10C).3GMG has now developed a completely new hybrid electrolyte that is chloride free and non-corrosive, unlike common aluminium battery electrolytes, along with a complex cathode and anode technology that enables very stable fast charging over hundreds of cycles. The substrate for both the cathode and anode in the G+A CELLS is aluminium foil - which provides significant cost and weight savings compared with copper, the substrate material used in most lithium and sodium-ion batteries. GMG's technology does not include the use of lithium or copper. The Company has submitted an additional patent application covering these new developments.GMG believes that it has significantly met the key target specification requirements for use in heavy mobile equipment, as shown in Figure 3, its main targeted use case, including:- Charging in under 6 minutes;- Energy density > 100 Wh/kg after 1 hour of charging; and- Safe (no Lithium).The next battery development steps include the following activities:- Test and show cycle life up to 10,000 cycles- Test and show ambient temperature impacts- Test and show standard safety testing- Test and show no thermal battery management system needed Figure 3: G+A CELLS Battery Use Case - heavy mobile equipmentTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_figure3.jpgCraig Nicol, GMG Managing Director and CEO, commented: "This is a significant step up from where we were at with battery performance in December 2025 and we see the required performance for our targeted use case being largely met - which means we can start to put together the next stages of the battery maturation program - including partnerships and manufacturing plans."GMG management believes that the G+A CELLS can eventually achieve over 160 Wh/kg when charged in 1 hour, and over 80 Wh/kg when charged in 6 minutes with further development of the cathode, anode, electrolyte and component weights.Figure 4 shows the latest G+A CELLS in pouch format:Figure 4: Current Multi-Layer G+A CELLTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_figure4.jpgBattery Technology Readiness LevelThe battery technology readiness level ("BTRL") of the G+A CELLS remains at Level 4, whilst significantly progressed through this level as shown in Figure 5. GMG is currently in the process of completing the optimization of the electrochemical behaviour for the pouch cells via ongoing laboratory experimentation. Through collaboration with BIC, it is anticipated that the battery technology readiness will ultimately progress to BTRL 7 and 8 since the equipment and processes needed to produce the G+A CELLS are the same as those employed to make Lithium-Ion Batteries, though no definitive timeline for achievement can be provided at this time.Figure 5: Battery Technology Readiness Level (BTRL)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_9a72ca9bb4963a29_004full.jpgThe Company is confident it can meet the overall timeline, as seen in Figure 6, of its battery cell roadmap that calls for testing of cells with customers in 2026 and small commercial production with support of various partners, including BIC, in 2027.Figure 6: Battery Cell RoadmapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_9a72ca9bb4963a29_005full.jpgNext Steps Toward Commercialisation & Market ApplicationsJack Perkowski, GMG Non-Executive Chairman and Director, commented: "I am extremely proud that GMG has progressed its battery to this stage - the Company is getting very close to final commercialisation steps. We look forward to providing further updates as GMG progresses the development of its battery technology."The Company continues to see a broad range of potential applications for a completed G+A CELLS - utilising its ultra-high power-density and economic energy density characteristics. Along with Rio Tinto, a range of global companies have confidentially expressed their interest in working with GMG in the following vertical sectors:Figure 7: Market ApplicationsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_9a72ca9bb4963a29_006full.jpgCurrently, GMG believes it will use a plastic battery pack design, similar to Figure 8, to hold the battery pouch cells - reducing the weight, cost and complexity relative to using a metal case. Using a plastic battery pack is possible for two main reasons - GMG believes that its battery will not require a thermal management system or the fireproofing precautions provided by the metal case in a lithium-ion battery. Using plastic will increase the comparative energy density of G+A CELL packs when compared to lithium-ion batteries.Figure 8: Expected Battery Pack for GMG's G+A CELLS Pouch FormatTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_9a72ca9bb4963a29_007full.jpgComparison and Market Review: LTO Batteries As shown in Figure 9 below, the performance of GMG's G+A CELL technology is already very similar to representative LTO batteries.Figure 9: Comparison of GMG's G+A CELLS to Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) BatteryTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/292641_figure9.jpg LTO batteries are sold at a premium to LFP and LNMC batteries, which are the main chemistries used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, and are also widely used in other electronic applications due to their high performance and long cycle life. The material and manufacturing costs for G+A CELLS are expected to be similar to, or less than, the cost to manufacture standard lithium-ion batteries, but substantially lower than the costs to produce LTO batteries.LTO batteries have energy density ranging from 50 - 80 Wh/kg.6 The LTO product is sold globally for use in many applications — with a total of US$5.67 billion sales per annum in 2025. Sales of LTO batteries are expected to grow at 16.9% per annum to an estimated US$ 12.5 billion by 2030. The major manufacturers of LTO batteries include Toshiba, Gree, Microvast and CATL.Further details on applications for the LTO battery from Mordor Intelligence7 are described below. In many of the use cases for LTO batteries, GMG believes that its G+A CELLS can be substituted at a substantially lower cost.Commercial Vehicles: Automotive, primarily buses, refuse trucks, and drayage tractors rather than passenger cars, is the largest user of LTO batteries. Fleets realize five-year total-cost-of-ownership parity once fuel savings and lower maintenance offset higher upfront prices.Fast-charging Electric Buses and Trucks: Transit authorities need battery systems that accept repeated high-power "opportunity charges" during short layovers. LTO cells replenish 80% capacity in roughly five minutes, allowing operators to shrink fleet size without sacrificing route frequency. U.S. Low-No Emission Bus grants earmark more than US$1.5 billion per year, with bid specifications that explicitly reference rapid-charge capability. Parallel subsidy programs in China reimburse up to CNY 80,000 (US$ 11,396) per new-energy bus, accelerating volume deployment in provincial capitals.Hybrid and BEV: Regenerative braking and high-C-rate acceleration favour the use of LTO batteries. Use in fast-charge EV stations is growing rapidly as ride-hailing fleets adopt swap-ready models.Stationary Storage: Utility-scale batteries now cycle multiple times per day for frequency regulation, peak shaving, and voltage support. Energy-storage-system integrators adopt LTO batteries for grid-frequency response where state-of-charge swings are shallow but frequent.Industrial Robotics: LTO batteries are used in continuous-duty forklifts that require partial charges during operator breaks.Aerospace and Defense: Unmanned aerial vehicles, missile auxiliaries, and soldier-worn power banks operating from -40 °C to +60 °C ambient.5-minute Battery-Swap Stations: Battery-as-a-service platforms require ultra-fast turnaround and high cycle life. CATL confirmed plans to install 1,000 swap stations in 2025 and 30,000-40,000 by 2030, each requiring packs that tolerate thousands of rapid exchanges without degradation.Sub-10 kWh Packs: Cordless construction tools, autonomous ground vehicles, and medical carts select LTO batteries to bypass daily pack swaps.12V starter replacement to Lead acid: GMG's G+A CELLS battery technology would be a viable 12 V starter-battery replacement for lead-acid, offering lower weight, longer cycle life, good low-temperature performance and improved cold-cranking capability, together with excellent tolerance to storage at 0% state of charge. In suitable system designs, the chemistry's stable voltage behaviour can also reduce balancing requirements and simplify battery management, helping to lower overall system cost.Lifecycle Procurement Preference: Many government procurement frameworks now weigh lifecycle reliability higher than purchase price. For example, New Mexico awarded a US$ 400 million bus electrification contract that included stringent thermal-runaway resistance metrics. Europe's Clean Industrial Deal allocates capital for storage technologies that stabilize renewables, aligning well with LTO batteries' fast-response profile.Cylindrical Cells: accounted for 37.7% of LTO battery sales in 2024 as entrenched production lines and robust steel casings satisfied heavy-duty demand. Pouch designs address aerospace weight requirements and constrained dashboards in autonomous robots.Summary of Important Milestones for GMG's G+A CELLS Development: MonthImportant Milestones in the

Together with its subsidiary OBI Pharma USA, Inc., the company is dedicated to developing innovative cancer therapeutics to provide new treatment options for patients with urgent medical needs.OBI's research efforts center on novel antibody-drug conjugates (ADC). Through its patented next-generation conjugation technology platform, Obrion™, OBI has established diverse ADC design modalities. The platform integrates proprietary conjugation and linker technologies, including GlycOBI®, GlycOBI DUO®, EndoSymeOBI®, HYPrOBI®, and the novel irreversible cysteine-conjugation technology ThiOBI® , to advance next-generation ADC solutions. OBI has developed a next-generation suite of ADC programs. These include monospecific ADCs such as OBI-902 (TROP2), which is under Ph1 clinical evaluation, and OBI-904 (Nectin-4); a bispecific single-payload ADC, OBI-201 (HER2 x TROP2); and a bispecific dual-payload ADC, OBI-221 (cMET x HER3). To broaden the applicability of the HYPrOBI® linker technology, OBI has further developed the ThiOBI® technology to enable irreversible cysteine-based conjugation. In addition to its ADC programs, OBI's assets include OBI-3424, a first-in-class AKR1C3-targeted small-molecule prodrug that selectively releases a potent DNA-alkylating agent in the presence of the aldo-keto reductase 1C3 enzyme, which is highly expressed in certain tumors. Additional information can be found at www.obipharma.com.About OBI-902 and OBI-992OBI-902 is a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that carries a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload to kill tumor cells with a drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of 4. TROP2 is highly expressed in a variety of solid tumors such as breast, lung, biliary, bile duct (cholangiocarcinoma), ovarian, gastric, and many other cancer types, rendering it an ideal target for cancer therapy.OBI-902 is a novel site-specific glycan-conjugated ADC using OBI's proprietary GlycOBI® platform, which provides improved stability and enhanced hydrophilicity. OBI-902 demonstrated remarkable antitumor efficacy across multiple tumors, including NSCLC, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and gastric cancer, improved pharmacokinetic characteristics, and a favorable safety profile in various animal models. The IND of OBI-902 was cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) on April 30, 2025, received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the US FDA for cholangiocarcinoma on Nov. 16, 2025, and gastric cancer (GC), including gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC) on December 5, 2025.The Phase 1/2 Study (NCT07124117) is ongoing, with completion of the Phase 1a portion targeted for 1H 2027.OBI-992 is a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that carries a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload with drug-to-antibody ratio of 4 (DAR 4) via a cysteine conjugated, hydrophilic and enzyme-cleavable linker. OBI-992 remains stable in circulation and delivers this cytotoxic payload to TROP2-expressing tumor cells, leading to tumor cell death while avoiding off-target toxicities.The US FDA cleared the IND application for OBI-992 in Jan 2024 and subsequently granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of gastric cancer, including GEJC in Aug 2024. The Phase 1/2 Study (NCT06480240) has reached the putative Recommended Phase 2 Dose (pRP2D) and Phase I completion is targeted for 1H 2027.Since December 2021, OBI has been granted by Biosion, Inc. (www.biosion.com) an exclusive license to a TROP2 targeting antibody amino acid sequence in all jurisdictions except Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. Biosion holds exclusive rights to that antibody sequence in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. OBI holds commercial rights to OBI-992 and OBI-902 in all jurisdictions except Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, while Biosion holds commercial rights to OBI-992 and OBI-902 in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.About OBI-904OBI-904 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a monoclonal antibody specifically targeting Nectin-4 (Nectin cell adhesion molecule 4), linked to a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload with Drug-to-Antibody Ratio of 8 (DAR8) through OBI's proprietary GlycOBI® ADC enabling technologies, powered by a dual-function enzyme, EndoSymeOBI®, and a novel linker, HYPrOBI®. It is a potentially first-in-class and best-in-class glycan-based ADC designed to target multiple cancer types that express Nectin-4. Antitumor activity has been shown across several animal disease models, including HNSCC, CRC, TNBC, cervical and sarcoma cancers; OBI-904 has demonstrated a favorable safety profile in a repeat dose toxicity study in monkeys, and is now in the pre-IND stage of development.About OBI-201OBI-201 is a TROP2 x HER2 bispecific ADC generated by OBI GlycOBI® ADC enabling technologies conjugated with a topoisomerase I inhibitor. Notably, OBI is the first to demonstrate that HER2 and TROP2 can interact and form a protein complex on the cell surface-a groundbreaking discovery facilitated through collaboration with a specialized AI drug discovery partner. OBI-201 offers several advantages over mono-specific TROP2 or HER2 ADCs. By targeting both antigens, it broadens tumor coverage, especially in cancers with heterogeneous or low expression of either target. Dual targeting can enhance tumor selectivity, binding avidity, and internalization, improving payload delivery to cancer cells while potentially reducing toxicity to normal cells. OBI-201 may overcome resistance associated with downregulation of targets after treatment by certain monospecific ADCs.Animal studies revealed that OBI-201 demonstrated significantly superior anti-tumor activity compared to single-target ADCs in drug-resistant breast cancer models with extremely low HER2 expression. OBI-201 was able to sustain tumor growth suppression, indicating its potential to overcome multiple drug-resistance mechanisms. OBI-201 is a next-generation bispecific ADC poised to break through the limitations of single-target ADCs, potentially offering patients a more comprehensive and durable treatment option.About OBI-221OBI-221 is a Bispecific-Dual Payload ADC (BsDpADC), generated by OBI GlycOBI DUO® technologies, targeting cMET and HER3, conjugated with dual payload of MMAE and topoisomerase I inhibitor.In clinical practice, EGFR-targeted therapies have become a key strategy for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. However, tumors often rapidly develop resistance by upregulating cMET and HER3 that, in turn, sustain tumor growth. Moreover, high expressions of cMET and HER3 have been observed in gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, and various other solid tumors, further underscoring the unmet medical needs.To address this challenge, OBI Pharma leverages its proprietary GlycOBI DUO® platform and HYPrOBI® linker to develop a novel bispecific dual-payload antibody-drug conjugate (BsDpADC)-OBI-221. This therapeutic agent simultaneously targets cMET and HER3 while delivering synergistic cytotoxic agents, effectively combating tumor resistance and heterogeneity. This breakthrough design not only addresses an unmet medical need but also represents a forward-looking strategy for next-generation ADC development.OBI-221 holds meaningful potential to overcome resistance to existing EGFR-targeted therapies, potentially offering patients more targeted treatment options while delivering substantial clinical value.About GlycOBI®OBI has developed a unique glycan-based, site-specific ADC technology (GlycOBI®), designed in a Plug and Play format that is compatible with any antibodies, linkers, and payloads, and supports various drug-antibody ratios (DAR)(up to 16). Powered by OBI's proprietary dual-function enzymatic technology EndoSymeOBI® and its hydrophilic linker technology HYPrOBI®, GlycOBI®, a core component of OBI's Obrion™ ADC technology family, enables the generation of site-specific and homogeneous ADCs through an efficient, scalable and streamlined two-step, one-pot conjugation process under GMP conditions.During the conjugation process, GlycOBI® avoids disrupting the antibody structure and ensures that the resulting ADC retains biophysical characteristics comparable to the native antibody. In addition, OBI's linker technology improves payload conjugation efficiency and reduces the propensity for aggregation or degradation, further supporting a stable and well-controlled ADC manufacturing process. GlycOBI® has overcome limitations commonly associated with traditional ADC approaches and has demonstrated improved antitumor activity and stability in various in vivo studies. Notably, the platform supports the conjugation of both cytotoxic small-molecule inhibitors and highly hydrophobic degraders, expanding its applicability to next-generation modalities such as DACs.About GlycOBI DUO®GlycOBI DUO® is a next-generation dual-payload antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology built on the GlycOBI® site-specific conjugation platform and its proprietary enzymatic conjugation strategy. It enables the precise and programmable attachment of two distinct payloads to a single antibody with tunable ratios and supports high DAR ratios, including up to DAR24. By combining complementary mechanisms of action, GlycOBI DUO® is designed to enhance antitumor efficacy, address tumor heterogeneity, and improve the overall therapeutic index, with the potential to overcome resistance mechanisms associated with conventional ADCs-representing a promising advancement in next-generation ADC development.About ThiOBI®OBI has developed a novel irreversible, cysteine conjugation ADC platform (ThiOBI®) with improved stability, which can apply to any antibodies, linkers, and payloads. OBI's proprietary ThiOBI® platform including linker technologies (HYPrOBI®) can generate ADCs in different biomolecular formats, including antibody fragments, nanobodies, peptides, and proteins. Furthermore, OBI's HYPrOBI® linker technology has improved conjugation efficiency of the payload and reduced aggregation propensity and also expanded the half-life of the ADC products. ThiOBI has overcome the limitations of traditional cysteine ADCs and achieved better antitumor activity and stability in various in vivo tests.GlycOBI®, EndoSymeOBI®, ThiOBI®, HYPrOBI®, and GlycOBI DUO® are registered trademarks of OBI.

(TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed the independent National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Hat Polymetallic Project, British Columbia, Canada" (the "Technical Report") on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and it can also be viewed on the Company's website at www.doubleview.ca. The Technical Report supports the positive Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") results for the Company's 100%-owned Hat polymetallic porphyry project ("Hat" or the "Project"), located in northwestern British Columbia, as announced on March 2, 2026 and clarified on March 23, 2026.The PEA demonstrates robust project economics for the Hat Project, including:NPV:After-tax NPV(5%) of C$6.73 billion and IRR of 23% at Consensus Metal PricesAfter-tax NPV(5%) of C$13.53 billion and IRR of 39% at Spot Metal PricesNPV Including scandium and the associated processing circuit:After-tax NPV(5%) of C$7.27 billion and IRR of 19% at Consensus Metal PricesAfter-tax NPV(5%) of C$14.85 billion and IRR of 32% at Spot Metal PricesThree processing scenarios were evaluated-Scenario A1 (A1) a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation base case using current testwork recoveries1, 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$7.27 billion (B), and an IRR of 19% (A1), 23% (A2), or 19% (B) at analyst consensus metal prices2. Using a spot-price scenario3, the Project delivers a compelling after-tax NPV(5%) of C$11.05 billion (A1), C13.53 billion (A2), or C$14.85 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$6.5 billion-C$8.1 billion (IRR: 18%-20%) at ±40% metal price.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% CuEq4 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: based on publicly reported 2024 North American cobalt mine production of approximately 3,800-4,000 tonnes (Natural Resources Canada; U.S. Geological Survey), the projected cobalt output is estimated to represent approximately 69% of current regional mined supply).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 contained5 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 filing of the full PEA Technical Report solidifies the robust economics outlined in March. With an after-tax NPV(5%) reaching up to C$7.27 billion at consensus prices and up to C$14.85 billion at spot prices, we believe the Hat Project is emerging as a Tier 1 asset. It is a large-scale, long-life polymetallic opportunity in a premier jurisdiction with strong exposure to critical metals including copper, scandium and cobalt. We look forward to advancing this strategic asset toward pre-feasibility while continuing to unlock value from its copper, gold, scandium and cobalt potential."The Company cautions that the PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.Qualified PersonsThe Technical Report was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

HKTDC launches GoGlobal Connect to help mainland firms go global via Hong Kong

April 14, 2026
HONG KONG, Apr 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In view of the growing and increasingly pressing demand from mainland enterprises to go global, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has launched GoGlobal Connect. This will leverage the resources of HKTDC’s 51 offices worldwide to strengthen its service offerings and facilitate more effective connections between mainland enterprises and Hong Kong’s professional service providers, while strengthening ties to explore global business opportunities and enhance Hong Kong’s role as an international platform.The GoGlobal Connect launch ceremony was held today at the HKTDC SME Service Centre. The ceremony was officiated by Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Hong Kong SAR Government, and Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC. It was witnessed by more than 200 enterprise representatives of mainland enterprises and Hong Kong service providers.In his welcoming remarks, Prof Ma said: “According to the World Trade Organization’s latest report, Hong Kong rose to become the world’s fifth-largest merchandise trading economy in 2025, reflecting the strong resilience of Hong Kong’s external trade and reaffirming its status as an international trade centre. This year marks the launch of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan. The HKTDC will take a proactive approach to help Hong Kong better integrate into and serve the nation’s overall development strategy. Through the newly launched GoGlobal Connect initiative, we will leverage Hong Kong’s strengths in internationally oriented professional services to lower the threshold for mainland enterprises to go global and support their steady and well‑managed overseas expansion.”In his opening remarks, Algernon Yau said that the HKTDC officially launched the GoGlobal Connect service today, along with an enhanced cross-sectoral professional services platform, further strengthening the support provided by the GoGlobal Task Force for mainland enterprises. He said: “The Task Force will continue to actively advance various initiatives, including attracting strategically valuable mainland enterprises to develop their businesses in Hong Kong. At the same time, we will continue to organise promotional and matchmaking events across different sectoral themes in Hong Kong and the mainland, and invite mainland enterprises to join overseas business missions, allowing them to gain first-hand understanding of local market situations.”Helping mainland enterprises go globalThe HKTDC’s GoGlobal Connect initiative will provide support in four key areas, by:Establishing a cross-sectoral professional services platform, which brings together professional service providers from eight key sectors to facilitate connections with mainland enterprises;Setting up GoGlobal Connect zones at HKTDC’s flagship events, where service providers can offer on-site consultations;Incorporating GoGlobal Connect elements into trade promotion activities held in the Chinese Mainland, to promote Hong Kong as a platform for enterprises going global;Leveraging the HKTDC’s global network to strengthen market connections.The GoGlobal Connect service will also be available at the HKTDC SME Service Centre.Following the launch ceremony, Yao Chenpeng, Vice President of Transfar Group, a mainland enterprise, shared the company’s plans to establish an overseas business headquarters in Hong Kong. He said that the Group’s overseas business has continued to grow in recent years, necessitating the establishment of an international management centre to handle matters such as tax planning and overseas contracts, and that the professional services available in Hong Kong are well placed to meet the company’s needs.He noted that after sharing the idea with the HKTDC in July last year, the Council promptly arranged meetings between the Group and relevant government departments, major chambers of commerce and industry associations in Hong Kong. The HKTDC also introduced the Group to Hong Kong professional service providers to help it understand the incentives and procedures for establishing operations in Hong Kong and to build business networks.Subsequently, at the Belt and Road Summit held in September last year, the HKTDC introduced professional service providers to the Group and facilitated the signing of cooperation agreements, providing practical support for the Group’s global expansion plans.A survey conducted in the Chinese Mainland by the HKTDC earlier this year among more than 2,000 mainland enterprises showed that 83% plan to leverage Hong Kong’s professional services to support their global expansion, a significant increase from 62% from a similar survey conducted in 2023. The findings underscore Hong Kong’s strengths as the preferred service platform for mainland enterprises going global.The Hong Kong SAR Government recently set up the GoGlobal Task Force and launched a thematic website in March (www.goglobal.gov.hk). The website includes a link to HKTDC’s cross-sectoral professional services platform, which provides one-stop information and professional support for mainland enterprises seeking to expand overseas via Hong Kong, helping them better leverage Hong Kong’s diverse international strengths to plan and implement their global expansion strategies. The platform has recently enhanced its service provider database and optimized the user interface. In the second half of the year, we will onboard more service providers and continue to improve the platform and matching functions to deliver more comprehensive support to mainland enterprises.Photo download: https://bit.ly/4tCTfVWThe GoGlobal Connect launch ceremony was held at the HKTDC SME Service Centre.

Revenue of RMB19.3 billion, Net Profit Surged by 273%: Victory Giant Technology Launches Hong Kong IPO

April 13, 2026
HONG KONG, Apr 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On April 13, Victory Giant Technology launched its Hong Kong IPO, with joint sponsors including JPMorgan Chase, CITIC Securities International, and GF Securities. As a leading supplier of advanced printed circuit boards (PCBs) products for AI and high-performance computing (HPC), the company ranked No.1 globally in the AI/HPC PCB market in 1H25, surpassing several international peers. We believe the IPO could provide incremental funding to support capacity expansion and reinforce its technology leadership, amid accelerating investments in AI infrastructure.Rising to the Top in Half a Year: A Precisely Timed Market BreakthroughAccording to Frost & Sullivan, Victory Giant Technology’s global market share in AI and HPC PCBs reached 13.8% in the first half of 2025, ranking first, compared with only 1.7% (seventh place) for the full year of 2024. This rapid rise within just half a year was not coincidental, but rather the result of accurately capturing the surge in demand for high-build-up HDI boards used in AI servers. Supporting data shows that in 2025, Victory Giant’s HDI revenue reached RMB7.42 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 388.2%, while its share of total revenue rose from 14.2% in 2024 to 38.5%.The Company also delivered impressive financial performance. In 2025, total revenue reached RMB19.3 billion, up 79.8% year-on-year, while net profit climbed to RMB4.31 billion, marking a sharp increase of 273.5%. Gross margin improved significantly from 22.7% in 2024 to 35.2%, mainly driven by high-margin, high-build-up HDI products. During the same period, net cash generated from operating activities amounted to RMB4.62 billion, demonstrating a solid cash flow foundation for its earnings growth. For the 2024 financial year，the company also declared dividends of RMB260 million, returning value to shareholders through its stable cash generation.Victory Giant Technology is able to manufacture high-layer-count MLPCBs with more than 100 layers. We are also one of the first companies globally to achieve mass production of 24-layer HDIs with a 6+12+6 build-up, as well as the technical capabilities for 30-layer HDIs with a 10+10+10 build-up, and 16-layer any-layer interconnect HDIs. Its core products include multi-layer PCBs (MLPCB) and high-build-up high-density interconnects (HDI) boards, which supporting the evolving needs of fast-growing industries such as AI, EV and high-speed telecommunications equipment. As demand for AI computing shifts from concept to large-scale deployment, Victory Giant Technology has already established its technological roadmap in advance.Diversified Barriers and Global Layout Forge a Competitive MoatAI computing PCBs are far more demanding than traditional PCBs in terms of material performance, processing precision and interlayer alignment, making traditional equipment inadequate for such applications. To address this, Victory Giant Technology has equipped its production lines with a full suite of advanced manufacturing systems tailored for AI computing, and established long-term partnerships with leading global equipment suppliers, maintaining a strong lead in smart manufacturing and large-scale production. Compared with traditional production facilities, its smart factories have shortened lead times by 3-5 days, reduced manpower needs by approximately 50%, and increased production capacity by approximately 40%. Such manufacturing efficiency constitutes dual advantages in cost and delivery in the capital-intensive industry.These advantages are further amplified by deep customer engagement. Victory Giant Technology typically participates in joint development at the outset of the end-product lifecycle. This strategy of early involvement and full-process tracking has significantly strengthened customer stickiness. In 2025, the top five customers collectively contributed 51% of total revenue, representing a substantial increase from 25.1% in 2024. Notably, sales from the single largest customer reached RMB5.74 billion, accounting for 29.7% of total revenue. The rapid rise in customer concentration, on the one hand, corroborates the explosive growth in orders for AI computing, and on the other hand, puts the Company’s capabilities in capacity expansion and supply chain risk management to the test.In terms of its global layout, Victory Giant Technology operates five major production centers centered around its Huizhou headquarters. Concurrently, it is establishing new production facilities for HDIs and MLPCBs in Thailand and Vietnam and further automating its production processes in Melaka, Malaysia. Of greater strategic significance are two key acquisitions: the acquisition of PSL in 2023 (which owns MFSS, a globally recognized FPC manufacturer), establishing a comprehensive “RPCB + FPC” product matrix. This move has further broaden its customer base to companies in sectors such as automotive electronics (including automotive sensors and display modules), industrial control and high-end medical devices. In 2024, the Company acquired APCB Electronics (Thailand) Co., Ltd., upgraded and renovated its production lines, and introduced high-end manufacturing capacity, thereby strengthening its global delivery network serving overseas customers.Looking ahead, the rapid development of artificial intelligence, 5G communications and the Internet of Things is driving structural growth in the global PCB market. According to public data, the global market sizes of multilayer PCBs, HDI PCBs (High Density Interconnect PCBs), FPCs (Flexible Printed Circuits) and package substrates are projected to reach US$34.5 billion, US$16.9 billion, US$15.5 billion and US$17.8 billion respectively by 2029. Victory Giant Technology (HuiZhou) Co., Ltd. has conducted 2–3 years of advanced technological R&D reserves focused on core AI computing fields such as GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and CPU (Central Processing Unit). The Company has prioritized breakthroughs in cutting-edge markets including AI computing power, AI servers, intelligent driving systems and humanoid robots, and will continue to maintain its leading technological edge.

The Value Watershed in Medical Robotics, Why the World’s Leading Medical Robotics Companies Put Clinical Value First

April 13, 2026
HONG KONG, Apr 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - This article serves as a foundational study for the Noah Medical deep-dive series, aiming to help investors establish a core framework for assessing value in the medical robotics industry.As the medical robotics sector continues to gain momentum, market discussion tends to center on technical specifications and commercialization progress. Yet from a long-term investment perspective, these dimensions alone cannot explain the divergence in value among companies. What truly determines a medical robotics company's long-term worth is not the technology itself—but the level of clinical problem it solves.The global medical robotics market is projected to grow from roughly USD 70–80 billion in 2023 to over USD 200 billion by around 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate above 15%. More notable, however, is the structural shift underway: the industry's core growth driver is moving rapidly from the "surgical execution end" toward the "diagnostic gateway"—that is, earlier disease detection and more accurate early-stage diagnosis and intervention. Competition around device performance is giving way to competition around solving clinical problems themselves.I. A Three-Tier Value Framework: Problem Level Determines Long-Term UpsideAt its core, medical innovation addresses clinical problems that can be organized into three progressive tiers:- Tier 1: Can it be done at all? — Procedures that were previously infeasible or unreliable, representing breakthroughs in clinical capability.- Tier 2: Can it be done faster? — Corresponding to efficiency gains.- Tier 3: Can it be done more affordably? — Corresponding to cost optimization.Most medical robotics innovation today remains concentrated in the latter two tiers—essentially extending existing clinical capabilities. The truly scarce and defensible direction is Tier 1: using technology to make previously unachievable medical procedures safe and accurate, thereby creating breakthrough clinical value.This logic has been validated repeatedly. The da Vinci Surgical System, with a global installed base exceeding 8,000 units and over 2 million annual procedures, owes its sustained high gross margins and steady growth to one thing: its irreplaceable ability to enable complex minimally invasive surgeries that could not otherwise be performed. The same principle applies to TAVR and electrophysiology ablation—each opened new markets by establishing entirely new clinical capabilities.Companies that solve "can it be done at all" typically enjoy higher technological barriers, stronger pricing power, longer product lifecycles, and more pronounced valuation premiums.II. An Overlooked Capability Gap: From Detection to DiagnosisThis framework is particularly clear in lung cancer care. Lung cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies worldwide, with over 2.2 million new cases and nearly 1.8 million deaths annually—accounting for more than 18% of all cancer-related mortality.In recent years, the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening (LDCT) has dramatically improved our ability to detect problems, with pulmonary nodule detection rates reaching 20–30% among high-risk populations. Diagnostic capability, however, has not kept pace—and has instead become a new systemic bottleneck.Consider the challenge of peripheral lung nodules: over 65% of pulmonary nodules are located in the lung periphery, where conventional bronchoscopes face clear limitations in reaching deep-seated lesions. Compounding this, dynamic discrepancies between preoperative CT imaging and the patient's actual respiratory state introduce widespread localization errors in clinical practice.This is not an efficiency problem. It is a capability that has yet to be established. How to reliably access targets within complex pulmonary anatomy, and how to achieve precise localization in a dynamically shifting environment—these capabilities directly determine diagnostic accuracy and safety. They represent a textbook "capability-gap opportunity."For investors, such opportunities share distinct hallmarks: well-defined demand, clear pain points, and high technological barriers. Once a breakthrough is achieved, it typically produces durable competitive moats and extended growth cycles.III. Noah Medical: A Strategic Entry Through the Capability GapAs the industry migrates from "efficiency optimization" to "capability creation," Noah Medical has chosen to enter precisely through the capability gap described above—targeting the core challenge of the confirmatory diagnosis stage in early lung cancer detection, and using technology to enhance lesion access and localization, completing a critical missing link in the diagnostic chain.The technological foundation of this approach lies in the deep integration of real-time image-based localization, AI, and robotic control systems. The Galaxy system dynamically corrects discrepancies between imaging and the patient's anatomy during the procedure, delivering higher-precision lesion localization in complex environments. This is the single most critical technical challenge in diagnosing peripheral lung nodules today.Core Clinical DataSince receiving FDA clearance in 2023, the Galaxy system has been used in over 10,000 clinical procedures across an installed base of more than 50 systems. Robotic navigational bronchoscopy diagnostic yield exceeds 90–93%, with a lesion localization success rate of approximately 96% and a low complication rate, demonstrating a strong safety profile. In the robotic bronchoscopy segment for pulmonary applications, Galaxy holds roughly 5% market share and remains in a phase of rapid growth.From a market standpoint, the global natural orifice surgical robotics market is expected to surpass USD 80 billion, with the lung cancer biopsy sub-segment alone representing approximately USD 6 billion. China's surgical robotics market is projected to sustain a 30–36% compound annual growth rate over the coming years, with select early-stage innovative sub-segments growing even faster. More critically, the shift toward non-invasive approaches is continuously expanding the addressable patient population—patients previously excluded due to procedural risk or diagnostic difficulty are steadily entering the diagnosable and treatable pool.The core value of Noah Medical's chosen path lies in combining assured demand with room for expansion: on one hand, lung cancer diagnosis and treatment represents a large and steadily growing base of inelastic clinical need; on the other, the precision access and localization capabilities built on the natural orifice approach carry platform potential for replication across other specialties.Noah Medical is not positioned in a single-product niche. It sits along a capability pathway with the potential for progressive, multi-specialty expansion.ConclusionThe investment logic of medical robotics ultimately comes down to a judgment about problem hierarchy. Amid similar levels of technological excitement and market narrative, the companies that choose to tackle clinical problems not yet effectively solved—and that create new medical capabilities through technology—are the ones most likely to deliver true long-term structural value.Noah Medical is a representative company worthy of sustained attention within this framework. Subsequent articles in this series will further examine its technology pathway, clinical evidence, and commercialization trajectory.— This is the first article in the Noah Medical deep-dive research series Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Court Rules Against Jason Shurka in EESystem Case; $54,034 in Federal Sanctions Ordered ACN Newswire

Court Rules Against Jason Shurka in EESystem Case; $54,034 in Federal Sanctions Ordered

April 11, 2026
LAS VEGAS, NV, Apr 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A Clark County District Court judge has ruled against Jason Shurka in an ongoing case brought by Energy Enhancement System, LLC. Judge Timothy C. Williams denied Shurka's anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss in its entirety, finding that his public statements about EESystem were "not made in good faith" and "were made with knowledge of their falsehood" (Case No. A-25-910216-B). In separate federal proceedings in Florida and Nevada, courts ordered Shurka to pay a combined $54,034.05 in sanctions after judges found his attempts to move the case to federal court lacked a reasonable legal basis.Shurka had filed the anti-SLAPP motion claiming his public statements about EESystem were protected speech made in good faith. Judge Williams rejected that defense in its entirety. Under Nevada's anti-SLAPP statute, that denial means the court found Shurka could not meet even the threshold requirement of demonstrating his statements were made without knowledge of their falsity. In plain terms: the judge ruled he knew what he was saying was not true when he said it.The Clark County ruling is the latest in a series of legal defeats for Shurka across multiple jurisdictions. Federal judges have repeatedly returned his filings to the state courts where EESystem originally brought its claims, with one federal judge in Florida characterizing his removal attempt as "objectively baseless."A forensic analysis has also entered the permanent public record at the Zenodo EU Open Research Repository (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19389516). The report identifies the hardware behind The Light System as commercial LED display panels available at wholesale for $900 to $1,200, sold to consumers at prices reaching over $106,000. The study used to market the device was conducted on a single undisclosed test subject using shed mouth cells - the kind your body discards on its own - that burst and die on contact with the liquid the researcher placed them in.The litigation began after Shurka, once involved in a limited marketing capacity with EESystem, launched a competing venture and made public statements that courts have now found to be knowingly false.Active case dockets are publicly accessible: Energy Enhancement System, LLC v. Shurka et al., Case No. A-25-910216-B (Clark County District Court, Nevada) and 2:25-cv-01234 (U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York).
