NEW YORK, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Argentum AI, an emerging institutional AI infrastructure platform founded by Andrew Sobko, today announced its strategic focus on supporting large-scale artificial intelligence infrastructure deployments through integrated financing, GPU procurement, and power-backed data center development.

As demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure accelerates globally, Argentum AI is positioning itself to address growing market challenges surrounding long-term compute capacity, infrastructure deployment, and institutional capital access.

According to the company, the rapid expansion of AI applications is increasing demand for GPUs, energy infrastructure, networking systems, cooling technology, and dedicated data center capacity. Argentum AI believes financing and deployment capabilities are becoming increasingly important components of the broader AI ecosystem.

“The AI industry is entering an infrastructure phase where long-term capital deployment and execution capacity will play a major role in determining scalability,” said Andrew Sobko, founder of Argentum AI. “As enterprise AI adoption accelerates, the market is seeing increased demand for structured infrastructure solutions capable of supporting large-scale compute operations.”

Argentum AI stated that it is working with institutional investors, infrastructure funds, sovereign capital groups, and financial institutions to support AI infrastructure projects across North America and Europe. The company’s strategy combines compute infrastructure sourcing, energy access, and financing coordination into a unified platform designed to support enterprise-scale AI deployments.

The company noted that AI developers are increasingly pursuing long-duration infrastructure agreements rather than relying exclusively on short-term cloud-based compute access. This shift is contributing to rising demand for dedicated GPU clusters and large-scale AI data center capacity.

“Access to infrastructure now extends beyond semiconductors alone,” Sobko added. “Financing, power availability, and deployment speed are becoming equally important considerations for organizations scaling AI systems.”

Argentum AI stated that its long-term objective is to support the development and financing of institutional-grade AI infrastructure capable of meeting growing global compute demand.

SYDNEY, March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — To help address the growing impact of allergies and asthma, Levoit is introducing its range of air purifiers designed to improve indoor air quality and reduce exposure to common household allergens. The issue is increasingly urgent in Australia, where One in three people lives with allergic diseases and asthma affects around 10.8% of the population.

Pollen, dust mites, mould spores, and pet dander can trigger sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, and breathing difficulties — and because many of these irritants linger indoors, every home can become a constant source of exposure.

For millions, indoor allergens disrupt sleep, drain energy, and reduce productivity. Allergies and asthma cost the nation billions each year, reinforcing one key reality: managing air quality isn’t something to think about only during hay fever season — it’s an everyday priority.

Levoit: Cleaner Indoor Air Is Essential — Not Optional
Air purifiers with quality HEPA filters capture airborne allergens. By keeping the air clean, they help reduce symptoms, improve sleep, and support overall wellbeing.

Highlights

• Canyon to materially increase strategic stake in Camrail from 9.1% to 26.9%, securing greater influence over critical rail infrastructure
• Completion of strategic 42.8% Investment in Terminal Bois du Port de Douala S.A., operator of Port of Douala, strengthening control over export logistics
• Preparation for tracklaying underway at both Inland Rail Facility and Port of Douala, advancing integrated logistics network
• First bauxite shipment from Minim Martap on schedule for late Q3, 2026 with first production imminent

PERTH, Australia, May 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canyon Resources Limited (ASX: CAY) (“Canyon” or “the Company”) is pleased to present an update on development activities at its Minim Martap Bauxite Project (“Minim Martap” or “the Project”), located in Cameroon, as the Company progresses towards first production and initial shipments.

The Company is pleased to advise that its in-country subsidiary Camalco Cameroon S.A. (“Camalco”) has paid a cash consideration of XAF 9.852 billion (approximately A$23.8 million) to increase its equity holding in Camrail from 9.1% to 26.9%, representing a significant strategic investment in the country’s primary rail transportation company. This enhanced stake will strengthen the Company’s ability to remain closely informed and actively engaged in developments relating to the PQ2 upgrade, while also securing timely bauxite transportation slots with Camrail. The increased involvement is expected to enhance oversight, coordination and strategic alignment with the Minim Martap Project, further de-risking the Company’s mine-to-port logistics chain as it advances toward production.

The increased investment in Camrail follows Canyon’s initial investment in Cameroon’s rail network operator in the first quarter of 2025 and is expected to complete in Q2, 2026, following in-country administrative registration of the newly acquired shares in Cameroon.

To further de-risk logistics, Canyon, through its in-country subsidiary Camalco, has completed a CFA 347.447 million (approximately A$0.8 million) strategic investment in Terminal Bois du Port de Douala S.A. (“TBPD”) to obtain a 42.8% stake in the operator of the Port of Douala.

The agreement complements Canyon’s existing Port Access Agreement which grants Canyon the right to export bauxite and alumina, as well as import raw materials essential for mining operations at Minim Martap.

The Port Access Agreement also provides Canyon with access to the Bois du Port de Douala to evaluate and optimise key logistical solutions in relation to site layout plans, construction requirements, and anticipated production metrics to ensure a seamless infrastructure network from mine to port. Refer to the ASX announcement dated 28 April 2025 for further details regarding the Port Access Agreement.

Commenting on the Company’s recent strategic investments, Chief Executive Officer Mr Peter Secker said: “By increasing our stake in Camrail to 26.9% and executing a strategic 42.8% investment in Terminal Bois du Port de Douala S.A. which operates the Port of Douala, Canyon is securing direct influence over the critical rail and port infrastructure that underpins our operations. These initiatives significantly enhance coordination, improve operational certainty, and materially de-risk our mine-to-port logistics as we move into imminent production.

“These are strategic, high-impact investments that reinforce our integrated logistics strategy, support the efficient ramp-up of Minim Martap, and position the Project for a long and reliable operating life.”

At Minim Martap the surface miner was mobilised to site at the Daniel Plateau in April, for the commencement of trial mining in mid Q2, 2026 allowing bauxite stockpiles to be built up at the mine, Inland Rail Facility (IRF) and port before the first bauxite ore shipment in late Q3, 2026.

Initial production will be a major milestone for the Minim Martap Bauxite Project and coincides with upgrade works on the haul road that connects the Danielle Plateau to the IRF.

Tracklaying at the IRF and bulk earthworks at the Port of Douala have commenced in preparation for rail operations to allow storage of bauxite ores at the port prior to the first shipment. The first seven locomotives are expected to arrive at the Port of Douala in late Q2, 2026 followed by the rail wagons in July 2026 ahead of first shipment of bauxite ore in late September, 2026.

Image 2: Site works at IRF

Canyon continues to engage with several potential offtake partners, with the Company aiming to finalise agreements following the completion of initial bauxite shipments, allowing Canyon to demonstrate the high grade, high purity of the Minim Martap ore reserve, which comprises of 51% alumina and approximately 2% silica.¹

The Feasibility Study for the proposed value-adding alumina refinery is scheduled to be completed by Q3 2026.

This announcement has been approved for release by Canyon’s Board of Directors.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and does not necessarily include all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements.

These and other important factors could cause actual results to differ materially by the forward-looking statements made in this press release. Any forward-looking statement that IREN makes in this press release speaks only as of the date of such statement. Except as required by law, IREN disclaims any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release refers to certain measures that are not recognized under GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. IREN uses non-GAAP measures including “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA margin” (each as defined below) as additional information to complement GAAP measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s operations from management’s perspective.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), excluding income tax (expense) benefit, finance expense, interest income and depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, foreign exchange gain (loss), impairment of assets, certain other non-recurring income, gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, unrealized fair value gain (loss) on financial instruments, debt conversion inducement expense, gain (loss) on partial extinguishment of financial liabilities, increase (decrease) in fair value of assets held for sale and certain other expense items. “Adjusted EBITDA margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Beginning in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company has changed its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude debt conversion inducement expense. This is a change from the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods, and these adjustments did not have any impact on the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods.

The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are shown in the Appendix hereto.

New York, NY, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — For many beginners, the hardest part of crypto trading is not only price volatility. It is knowing how to start. Complex market terms, fast trading cycles, 24/7 price movement, strategy setup, and manual execution pressure can make many everyday users hesitate before entering the market.

BitsStrategy announces the launch of its free AI Crypto Trading Bot, opening a new gateway to automated crypto trading for beginners. The bot is designed for users who want to lower the learning cost, reduce manual market watching, and experience AI quantitative trading through a clearer process.

BitsStrategy says the platform aims to make the complex crypto quantitative trading process easier to understand. Users do not need coding skills, their own trading system, or complex indicators and professional parameters. By registering an account, choosing a quantitative trading plan, and activating the AI Crypto Trading Bot, users can begin experiencing automated trading.

How to Use BitsStrategy Free AI Crypto Trading Bot for Automated Trading

BitsStrategy simplifies automated crypto trading into three steps, helping beginners understand and start using an AI trading bot faster.

Step 1: Register an Account

Users can visit the BitsStrategy official platform and create an account. After registration, they can enter the AI Crypto Trading Bot interface and learn about the platform’s automated trading features and quantitative trading plans.

Step 2: Choose a Quantitative Trading Plan

Users can choose a quantitative trading plan based on their needs. BitsStrategy’s system uses market data, price movement, AI strategy models, and quantitative trading logic to automatically analyze potential trading opportunities.

Step 3: Activate the Free AI Crypto Trading Bot

Once the plan is activated, the BitsStrategy AI Crypto Trading Bot runs automatically. The system continuously monitors the cryptocurrency market and executes trading tasks based on strategy logic, helping users participate in 24/7 digital asset market opportunities.

Why Beginners Need a Simpler Automated Trading Gateway

The crypto market attracts many new users, but for beginners, the real issue is often not whether opportunities exist. It is not knowing how to start correctly.

Traditional trading usually requires users to handle many tasks on their own: checking charts, analyzing trends, judging entry and exit points, controlling emotions, executing trades, and reviewing results. For users without experience, this process can be complicated and easy to get wrong.

BitsStrategy’s free AI Crypto Trading Bot is built to address this problem. Instead of pushing users into a more complicated trading panel, it uses an automated system to simplify the first step into the market.

For beginners, this gateway offers several practical advantages:

• No need to start with code or API setup.
• No need to spend long periods learning complex quantitative models.
• No need to watch the market around the clock.
• No need to rely completely on personal judgment for trade execution.
• Users can experience a more structured automated trading process through an AI system.

How BitsStrategy Makes Crypto Trading More Beginner-Friendly

BitsStrategy is not designed to turn every user into a professional trader. Its goal is to help users understand and use automated trading tools faster. The platform places complex trading steps inside the system and presents users with a simpler process.

Lower Technical Barrier

Users do not need to understand programming languages or connect trading interfaces by themselves. BitsStrategy places the automated trading process inside the AI Crypto Trading Bot, allowing users to start more intuitively.

Less Strategy Setup Pressure

Traditional quantitative trading often involves parameters, indicators, models, and backtesting. BitsStrategy uses platform plans and system logic to reduce the pressure of building strategies manually.

Automated Execution Support

After users activate the bot, the system can run automatically based on strategy logic, reducing the need for manual order placement and frequent chart checking.

Better Fit for Always-On Markets

The crypto market operates 24/7, and prices may change at any time. BitsStrategy’s automated system can continuously track market changes and help users stay connected to market opportunities.

Easier Understanding of AI Quant Trading

BitsStrategy turns AI quantitative trading into a clearer process, helping users understand how automated quant trading works through actual platform use.

Core Value of the Free AI Crypto Trading Bot

BitsStrategy’s free AI Crypto Trading Bot is not focused on stacking complicated features. It is built around what beginners need most: easier entry, less manual work, a clearer trading process, and more efficient market participation.

1. Free Start With Less Hesitation

For beginners, free access can reduce the mental barrier of trying an AI trading bot for the first time and make it easier to understand the automated trading process.

2. Focused on Automated Crypto Trading

BitsStrategy is built for the digital asset market, helping users participate in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and other crypto-related trading opportunities.

3. Automated Market Monitoring

The system continuously analyzes cryptocurrency market data, price movement, and potential signals, reducing the pressure of manual chart watching.

4. Automated Trade Execution

When the system identifies a market opportunity that matches strategy logic, the AI Crypto Trading Bot can execute trading tasks based on rules.

5. Simplified Quant Trading Experience

BitsStrategy simplifies the crypto quantitative trading process into an operating path of registration, plan selection, and bot activation, making it easier for everyday users to understand.

How BitsStrategy Helps Users Participate in the 24/7 Crypto Market

Unlike traditional markets, the crypto market has no fixed closing time. Prices may move early in the morning, opportunities may appear on weekends, and market sentiment may change quickly due to news, social media, or capital flows.

For beginners, tracking the market around the clock is not realistic. BitsStrategy uses its AI Crypto Trading Bot to bring market monitoring and strategy execution into one automated process, helping users reduce the impact of time limits.

Continuous Market Tracking

The system can continuously follow cryptocurrency price changes, trading signals, and potential opportunities, so users do not need to watch charts for long hours.

Faster Market Response

The AI system can continuously process market data and help identify potential opportunities, reducing delays that may come from manual judgment.

Reduced Emotional Interference

Automated execution can help reduce trading interference caused by fear, greed, hesitation, or impulsive decisions.

More Consistent Execution

Compared with temporary judgment, strategy-based execution can help the trading process remain more stable and consistent.

Better Fit for Multi-Coin Markets

Different digital assets may present opportunities at the same time. BitsStrategy’s automated workflow reduces the pressure of manually switching between and watching multiple coins.

Why Free AI Crypto Trading Bots Are Becoming a Popular Trend in 2026

In 2026, more users are paying attention to AI Crypto Trading Bot, automated crypto trading, AI quantitative trading, and crypto trading automation. The reason is simple: the market is getting faster, while everyday users have limited time and energy.

In the past, users may have needed only price charts and market alerts. Now, many users need a system that can continuously analyze the market, automatically match strategies, and execute trading tasks.

BitsStrategy believes crypto trading is moving from manual observation to automated execution. For beginners, a free AI Crypto Trading Bot offers an easier starting point, allowing them to avoid beginning with complex tools and technical setup.

The future of crypto trading is not only about who can see opportunities. It is also about who can respond faster, execute more consistently, and stay less affected by emotion.

Who Is BitsStrategy Designed For?

BitsStrategy’s free AI Crypto Trading Bot is designed for users who want a simple way to experience automated trading, especially:

New Users Who Want to Try Crypto Trading

For users who are starting to follow Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, or other digital assets, BitsStrategy provides a more intuitive automated gateway.

Users Without Time for Long Market Watching

Users Without Coding or API Knowledge

Users do not need to write trading scripts or connect complex interfaces to experience automated trading.

Users Who Want to Understand AI Quant Trading

BitsStrategy is suitable for users who want to experience AI quantitative trading without starting from a complex professional system.

Users Who Want Less Manual Operation

For users who want to leave more of the trading process to a system, BitsStrategy provides a clearer starting point.

BitsStrategy Is Opening Automated Crypto Trading to Everyday Users

AI crypto trading should not belong only to professional teams and technical users. As market conditions change faster, more everyday users need simpler and more automated tools to participate in market opportunities.

BitsStrategy’s free AI Crypto Trading Bot is built around this need. Through AI analysis, quantitative trading logic, and automated execution, it turns a complicated process into a more understandable user path.

Compared with traditional manual trading, BitsStrategy emphasizes:

• Free access.
• Simple startup.
• Less manual market watching.
• Automated strategy execution.
• Better beginner accessibility.
• Better fit for the 24/7 crypto market.

Through this approach, BitsStrategy aims to help more users enter automated crypto trading and AI quantitative trading faster.

Risk Notice

BitsStrategy’s AI Crypto Trading Bot is designed to improve automated trading efficiency, market opportunity capture, and execution stability, but no trading tool can guarantee fixed returns or risk-free profits. Users should participate carefully based on their own risk tolerance and manage their funds responsibly.

New York, USA, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The cryptocurrency market is becoming more automated. Price movements do not stop because users are busy, and trading opportunities do not wait because users do not know how to code. In response to this shift, BitsStrategy announces the launch of its free AI trading bot to help users enter the fully automated quant trading market faster.

Unlike traditional trading tools, BitsStrategy focuses on fast access and automated operation. Users do not need to write strategies, connect complex interfaces, or watch the market for long hours. By registering an account, choosing a quantitative trading plan, and activating the AI Trading Bot, users can experience an automated crypto trading process.

BitsStrategy says its free AI trading bot is designed for beginners and everyday users. Its core goal is to lower the barrier to AI quantitative trading, allowing more users to access smart quant trading through a simple process instead of being blocked by complex technology and professional terminology.

How to Use BitsStrategy AI Trading Bot for Free Fully Automated Quant Trading

BitsStrategy simplifies crypto automated quantitative trading into three steps, allowing users to start using an AI trading bot faster.

Step 1: Register an Account

Users can visit the BitsStrategy official platform and create an account. After registration, they can enter the AI Trading Bot interface and learn about the platform’s automated trading features and quantitative trading plans.

Step 2: Choose a Quantitative Trading Plan

Users can choose a quantitative trading plan based on their needs. BitsStrategy’s system uses market data, price movement, trading signals, and AI strategy models to automatically analyze potential trading opportunities.

Step 3: Activate the AI Trading Bot

Once the plan is activated, the BitsStrategy AI Trading Bot runs automatically. The system continuously monitors the cryptocurrency market and executes trading tasks based on strategy logic, helping users participate in 24/7 market opportunities.

Why Fully Automated Quant Trading Is Attracting More Everyday Users

In the past, quantitative trading was often seen as a tool for professional traders, programmers, or institutional teams. Users had to understand strategy models, data analysis, risk parameters, and trading execution logic, making it difficult for ordinary users to get started quickly.

The 2026 crypto market is changing that. AI trading bots and automated trading systems are making complex processes easier. Users no longer need to learn technical frameworks from scratch. Instead, they can experience automated quant trading through more direct tools.

BitsStrategy believes the real value of fully automated quant trading is not only automated order execution. It helps users address three core problems:

• They do not have time to watch the market around the clock.
• They do not understand complex trading strategies.
• They may make emotional decisions during volatility.

Through an AI Trading Bot, BitsStrategy aims to help everyday users participate in the crypto market in a more stable and systematic way.

What Can BitsStrategy Free AI Trading Bot Bring to Users?

BitsStrategy’s free AI Trading Bot is not just a market quote tool. It is an automated quant trading gateway for the cryptocurrency market. Its main purpose is to help users enter AI quantitative trading with less manual work, a lower barrier, and a more systematic process.

Automated Operation With Less Manual Pressure

AI Analysis Combined With Quant Trading Logic

BitsStrategy combines AI market analysis with quantitative trading logic to identify market signals, analyze price changes, and match suitable trading opportunities.

Built for the 24/7 Crypto Market

The cryptocurrency market has no fixed closing time. BitsStrategy’s AI Trading Bot can continuously track market movements, helping users capture potential opportunities over a longer time frame.

How BitsStrategy Turns Market Opportunities Into Automated Execution

For many users, the challenge is not only finding opportunities but executing them in time. The market may already be moving, but the user may not have time to watch it. A signal may have appeared, but manual operation may not be fast enough. A trading plan may already exist, but emotions can easily interrupt execution.

BitsStrategy’s advantage lies in bringing market monitoring, strategy recognition, and automated execution into one workflow, so users do not have to rely entirely on personal time and energy to participate in the crypto market.

Continuous Market Scanning

BitsStrategy’s AI system continuously analyzes cryptocurrency market data, including price movement, trading signals, and potential trends, helping users identify market changes faster.

Automated Trading Logic Matching

The system combines AI strategy models and quantitative trading logic to identify and match market opportunities, reducing the pressure of manually judging complex signals.

More Stable Execution With Fewer Impulsive Decisions

Manual trading is easily affected by emotion. Through systematic execution, BitsStrategy helps reduce the impact of fear, greed, hesitation, and impulsive actions on the trading process.

Lower Difficulty in Multi-Market Monitoring

Users do not need to open multiple chart windows or constantly switch between different coins. BitsStrategy brings market monitoring and strategy execution into one automated process.

Easier Understanding of Quant Trading for Beginners

Traditional quantitative trading is often full of professional terminology. BitsStrategy simplifies the AI quantitative trading process into a clearer operating path, helping users understand and start faster.

Why AI Trading Bot Is Becoming an Important Crypto Trading Tool in 2026

The cryptocurrency market in 2026 is faster, more complex, and more data-driven. Price movements can be driven by capital flows, macro news, social sentiment, on-chain activity, and market trends at the same time. Everyday users may find it difficult to keep up through manual trading alone.

In this environment, the value of an AI Trading Bot becomes clearer. It does more than save time. It helps users build a more stable and systematic trading process.

For crypto users, an AI Trading Bot can solve three practical problems:

First, the Market Does Not Wait for Users

Opportunities may appear overnight, during working hours, or when users cannot watch the market. Automated trading systems can continuously monitor the market and reduce the chance of missing movements due to time limits.

Second, Execution Speed Is Becoming More Important

In a fast-moving market, finding an opportunity is only the first step. Timely execution is even more important. BitsStrategy’s automated execution mechanism helps reduce delays caused by manual operation.

Third, Emotion Can Affect Trading Results

The crypto market is highly volatile, and users may make impulsive decisions during price swings. AI trading bots use strategy-based execution to make the trading process more stable and disciplined.

BitsStrategy believes the future of crypto trading will not only be about judgment ability. It will also be about automation, execution efficiency, and strategy discipline.

Who Is BitsStrategy Designed For?

BitsStrategy is designed for users who want a simpler way to enter the AI quant trading market. It does not require users to have programming experience or understand complex trading models. It is especially suitable for people who want to reduce manual work and improve execution efficiency.

Crypto Trading Beginners

For users who are new to Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other digital assets, BitsStrategy provides an easier automated trading entry point.

Users Without Time to Watch the Market

The cryptocurrency market runs 24/7, making it difficult for everyday users to watch price movements continuously. BitsStrategy’s automated system helps reduce the pressure of long-term market monitoring.

Users Who Do Not Know Coding or Strategy Setup

Users do not need to write trading scripts or connect complex APIs. The platform brings the main quantitative trading process into the AI Trading Bot.

Users Who Want to Experience AI Quantitative Trading

BitsStrategy is suitable for users who want to understand AI quant trading but do not want to start with a complicated technical system.

Users Exploring Automated Passive Income Opportunities

For users who want to reduce manual work and participate in market movements through an automated system, BitsStrategy provides a more direct starting point.

BitsStrategy Is Pushing Crypto Trading Into the Automated Quant Stage

The cryptocurrency market is moving from simple manual trading toward a more automated, strategy-driven, and data-based stage. Users no longer need only price charts or market alerts. They need a system that can continuously analyze the market, automatically match strategies, and execute trading tasks.

BitsStrategy’s free AI Trading Bot is built around this trend. Through AI market analysis, quantitative trading logic, and automated execution, it helps users enter the fully automated quant trading market faster.

Compared with traditional manual trading, BitsStrategy emphasizes:

• Lower barrier to entry.
• Faster startup.
• Less manual operation.
• Better fit for the 24/7 crypto market.
• More systematic trading execution.

As AI Trading Bot, AI Crypto Trading Bot, automated crypto trading, and AI quantitative trading continue to become important trends in 2026, BitsStrategy aims to become a practical gateway for everyday users entering the crypto automated trading market.

SOUTH BOSTON, Va., April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IperionX Limited (Nasdaq | ASX: IPX) is pleased to present its quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2026. Highlights during and subsequent to the end of the quarter include:

Operations – Titanium powder production

• Virginia operations transitioned to a 24/7 production schedule during the quarter, marking the move from commissioning into continuous operations
• All HAMR powder production systems have been commissioned and are now in ramp-up, with IperionX targeting run-rate production of ~200 tpa of titanium powder by end-CY2026
• HAMR powder production increased during the quarter, reaching ~4.2 metric tons in March, equivalent to approximately 50 tpa annualized. This represents the early-stage ramp rate, and throughput is expected to build as product mix shifts toward higher-volume angular powders and powder-to-part manufacturing
• Development of GenX , IperionX’s next-generation continuous HAMR platform, advanced during the quarter. GenX is designed to deliver a step-change in capital efficiency, operating cost and throughput relative to current batch processing system

Operations – Titanium product manufacturing

• Powder metallurgy scale-up continued during the quarter, including optimization of the 100-ton uniaxial press, commissioning of the cold isostatic press for larger-format titanium components, and transition toward 24/7 operations for defense-related titanium fastener production
• Advanced six-axis 300-ton SACMI powder metallurgy press was installed during the quarter. The press delivers higher compaction force, multi-axis movement, greater complexity of part geometry, improved repeatability, and the ability to support higher-rate production. Commissioning is planned for the June quarter for customer engagements requiring more complex or higher-volume titanium press-sinter-forge components
• Additional HSPT sintering furnaces are scheduled for commissioning in the June quarter. These additions are expected to remove sintering as a current production bottleneck and accelerate customer qualification timelines
• Additive manufacturing capability expanded during the quarter, including the operation and retrofit of additional binder jet systems

Customers

• IperionX continues to execute a tiered go-to-market strategy that initially prioritizes higher-value engineered products, where the competitive advantages are strongest, including higher material yields, faster design iteration, rapid prototyping and the potential to significantly lower customer costs
• Production activity during the quarter focused primarily on prototype production, product development, qualification testing and low-rate initial production across defense, automotive, consumer electronics and industrial applications, consistent with the staged commercialization pathway for advanced titanium components
• IperionX’s near-term commercial focus remains on higher-value titanium metal components, while retaining the flexibility to sell titanium powders directly where customer demand supports attractive commercial outcomes
• Qualification and test work for spherical titanium powders for additive manufacturing in the consumer electronics sector accelerated in the quarter. This market represents a significant potential opportunity for both spherical titanium powder sales and titanium products manufactured by IperionX
• Customer engagement materially increased across aerospace and defense markets, supported by heightened focus on titanium supply-chain resilience, U.S. onshoring of advanced component manufacturing and reduced reliance on imported primary titanium metal
• IperionX also expects to broaden its participation in high-volume titanium markets where customer engagement is strong and domestic U.S. supply is strategically important, including titanium mill products
• Customer receipts are currently at the early inflection point of the commercial adoption curve, consistent with the focus on prototype work, qualification batches, customer testing and low-rate initial production. As qualification milestones are achieved, purchase-order schedules become more defined and additional powder metallurgy and HSPT capacity is commissioned, IperionX expects customer receipts to build, subject to program timing and delivery schedules

U.S. Department of War (DoW) programs

• The U.S. Government-supported 1,400 tpa titanium expansion program continued to progress, including the full obligation of the US$47.1 million Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) award to build a fully integrated, domestic titanium “mineral-to-metal” supply chain
• Strong U.S. Government support continues, including:
  • ~290 metric tons of titanium scrap transferred to IperionX at no cost (equivalent to ~1.5 years of titanium feedstock)
  • SBIR Phase III IDIQ contract (up to US$99 million), with additional task orders progressing

Titan Critical Minerals Development

• The U.S. Government-supported Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the Titan Critical Minerals Project continued to advance and remains targeted for completion in mid-2026.
• Titan remains a strategically important, fully permitted U.S. project with leverage to titanium, rare earths and zircon critical minerals, including the heavy rare earths dysprosium (Dy), terbium (Tb), and yttrium (Y)
• IperionX is engaged with the U.S. Government regarding potential funding pathways to accelerate the Titan development following completion of the DFS

Cash balance

• IperionX ended the quarter with US$48.2 million in cash. The quarter included approximately US$4.8 million of Q3 timing and non-run-rate cash items, alongside continued investment in Virginia production ramp, product development and GenX R&D
• In addition to quarter-end cash, IperionX had US$42.1 million of remaining obligated reimbursable U.S. Government funding at March 31, 2026, including US$3.5 million of eligible U.S. Government program expenditure already incurred but not yet reimbursed. These amounts are not included in the cash balance and remain subject to normal reimbursement claim review and approval processes
• Based on current operating plans, planned capital expenditure and expected U.S. Government reimbursement timing, IperionX expects to end FY2026 with cash in the range of US$36 million to US$40 million

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

From commissioning to continuous operations — building a domestic U.S. titanium supply chain at industrial scale

The March 2026 quarter marked an important transition for IperionX: from commissioning into continuous operations, and from technology development toward repeatable commercial execution.

After more than a decade of development, pilot operations, customer validation and U.S. Government-supported scale-up, IperionX is now operating at industrial scale in Virginia. Our proprietary HAMR and HSPT technologies are operational, producing high-quality titanium from 100% recycled feedstock and enabling a materially more efficient pathway to titanium powders and titanium products than legacy Kroll-based supply chains.

This transition is the result of sustained technical execution: over 10 years of R&D, multi-year pilot operations, construction and commissioning of the Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus, and more than US$75 million of U.S. Government support across titanium technology development, domestic manufacturing scale-up and critical minerals programs. IperionX is now positioned at the intersection of two major national priorities: reshoring titanium manufacturing and rebuilding secure U.S. critical-materials supply chains for defense, aerospace and advanced industry.

The strategic context has never been more important. Titanium is essential to defense, aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, additive manufacturing and advanced industrial applications, yet existing supply chains remain highly exposed to imported primary metal, energy-intensive legacy processes and offshore manufacturing capacity. IperionX is building a domestic alternative: a U.S.-based, scrap-to-part titanium platform using recycled and domestic feedstocks, proprietary powder production, advanced sintering and forging technologies, and scalable American manufacturing capacity.

At our Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus, operations are now running on a 24/7 schedule and continuing to ramp. In March, HAMR powder production reached approximately 4.2 metric tons for the month, equivalent to approximately 50 tpa annualized. This remains an early-stage ramp rate, not steady-state capacity, but it provides a strong operating base as we progress toward targeted titanium powder capacity of approximately 200 tpa by the end of CY2026. Our immediate operating priorities are clear: increase titanium throughput, broaden product mix, improve production consistency and commission additional downstream capacity for customers.

That downstream manufacturing capacity is key. Additional HSPT sintering furnaces, powder metallurgy presses and related equipment are being installed and commissioned through 2026. These systems are expected to unlock higher-volume titanium “powder-to-part” manufacturing, where IperionX expects the greatest customer value and margin potential to exist. They are also expected to remove current bottlenecks in finished-component production, accelerate customer qualification timelines and support the transition from prototype work and low-rate production toward larger, longer-duration supply programs.

Customer engagement is advancing in parallel with the operational ramp. Our go-to-market strategy is initially focused on high-value engineered products, where our advantages in material yield, rapid prototype iteration, reduced processing steps and potential cost reduction are most pronounced. This has driven active programs across defense, aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics and industrial markets, with several programs progressing from technical engagement and prototyping toward qualification and low-rate production.

We recognize that commercialization in these markets is a staged process. Qualification, customer testing, product iteration and production readiness must occur before larger contractual supply arrangements are established. As production capacity expands and additional HSPT furnaces and powder metallurgy systems come online, we expect to materially improve the pace at which customer programs can progress from initial engagement and prototype iteration through qualification, low-rate production and potential long-term supply arrangements across engineered products, mill products and titanium powders.

U.S. Government support remains both a strategic validation and a financial advantage. IperionX has secured a significant titanium scrap inventory, including approximately 290 metric tons transferred by the U.S. Government at no cost, supporting feedstock security through scale-up. The Company is also supported by fully obligated US$47.1 million IBAS funding, the earlier US$12.7 million DPA Title III award, and an SBIR Phase III contracting pathway of up to US$99 million through project-specific task orders. These programs reflect the strategic importance of establishing a resilient, low-cost domestic titanium manufacturing capability for the U.S. defense industrial base.

Our scale-up pathway remains well defined. We are targeting approximately 200 tpa of titanium powder capacity by the end of CY2026, progressing a U.S. Government-supported expansion pathway toward 1,400 tpa in 2027, and continuing to advance longer-term plans for substantially larger titanium manufacturing capacity. In parallel, GenX , our next-generation continuous HAMR platform, is progressing as a potential step-change in titanium powder production, with the objective of increasing throughput, improving capital efficiency and further reducing operating costs.

The Titan Critical Minerals Project is IperionX’s second strategic pillar. With a U.S. DoW-supported DFS nearing completion, Titan represents a potential domestic source of titanium minerals, zircon and critical rare earths, including dysprosium, terbium and yttrium — materials for which the United States has limited domestic supply. Subject to completion of the DFS, funding and development decisions, Titan has the potential to complement IperionX’s titanium metal platform and contribute to U.S. critical mineral independence.

IperionX is moving from technology to production, and from production toward scale. The opportunity is significant, and the next steps are clear: ramp Virginia production, commission downstream capacity, convert customer programs into revenue, progress the 1,400 tpa expansion, complete the Titan DFS and continue building a fully domestic U.S. titanium and critical-materials platform.

Disciplined execution remains the priority.

PERTH, Australia, April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX:PDN, TSX:PDN, OTCQX:PALAF) (“Paladin” or the “Company”) provides an operations and guidance update for the Langer Heinrich Mine (LHM) in advance of its March 2026 Quarterly Report, which is scheduled for release on 22 April 2026.

The LHM ramp-up and transition to full mining operations has progressed well during the first nine months of FY2026. The combination of successful mobilisation of the mining fleet, improved feed grade and high recovery rates from the processing plant have resulted in year-to-date FY2026 production of 3.6Mlb U₃O₈.

As a result of the strong performance in the first nine months of FY2026, Paladin has revised its FY2026 guidance as follows:

LHM recorded 3.0Mlb U₃O₈ in sales in the first nine months of FY2026. Full year sales guidance remains unchanged.

Cost of production is expected to materially align with previous guidance pending the duration of the current conflict in the Middle East and any further associated impacts on forecast cost.

The capital and exploration expenditure guidance range has been reduced to US$15M to US$17M (previously US$26M – US$32M) due to reprioritisation and deferral of capital and exploration expenditure.

The revised guidance is based on current operating conditions and assumptions and may be impacted by disruptions arising from current geopolitical events. Paladin is closely monitoring the potential impact of these events.

Paladin continues to expect LHM to transition to full mining and processing plant operations by the end of FY2026.

The following results were achieved in the first nine months of FY2026:

The Company will hold a conference call on Wednesday, 22 April 2026, at 11.00am AEST⁷ (Tuesday, 21 April 2026, at 9.00pm EDT⁸), following the release of its March 2026 Quarterly Report. To participate in the live teleconference, please register at the link below:

Non-IFRS financial information

Paladin uses certain financial measures that are considered “non-IFRS financial information” within the meaning of Australian securities laws and/or “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of Canadian securities laws (collectively referred to in this announcement as Non-IFRS Measures) to supplement analysis of its financial and operating performance. These Non-IFRS Measures do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

The Company believes these measures provide additional insight into its financial results and operational performance and are useful to investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in understanding and evaluating the Company’s historical and future operating performance. However, they should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any Non-IFRS Measures. The Non-IFRS Measures used in this announcement are described below.

Average Realised Price

Average Realised Price (US$/lb U₃O₈) is a Non-IFRS Measure that represents the average revenue received per pound of uranium sold during a given period. It is calculated by dividing total revenue from U₃O₈ sales (before royalties and after any applicable discounts) by the total volume of U₃O₈ pounds sold. This measure provides insight into the actual pricing achieved under the Company’s uranium sales contracts and spot sales during the reporting period, taking into account the mix of base-escalated, fixed-price and market-related pricing mechanisms within contracts. The Company uses Average Realised Price to assess revenue performance relative to market prices, contractual pricing structures, and production costs. It is also a key measure used by investors and analysts to evaluate price exposure, contract performance, and profitability potential.

It is important to note that Average Realised Price is distinct from both the spot market price and the term market price for uranium, and it may vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on timing of deliveries, customer contract structures, and the prevailing market environment.

Revenue from the sale of U₃O₈ is reported in the Company’s financial statements under IFRS. The Average Realised Price is derived directly from statutory revenue figures and disclosed sales volumes.

Cost of Production

The Cost of Production per pound is a unit cost measure that indicates the average production cost per pound of U₃O₈ produced, and is calculated as:

Cost of Production per lb = Cost of Production ÷ U₃O₈ Pounds Produced

Cost of Production is calculated as the total direct production expenditures incurred during the period (including mining, stockpile rehandling, processing, site maintenance, and mine-level administrative costs), excluding costs such as cost of ore stockpiled, deferred stripping costs, depreciation and amortisation, general and administration costs, royalties, exploration expenses, sustaining capital and the impacts of any inventory impairments or impairment reversals. This measure helps users assess Paladin’s operating efficiency.

The Cost of Production per pound is a Non-IFRS Measure that is widely used in the mining industry as a benchmark of operational efficiency and cost competitiveness. Paladin’s Cost of Production metric is calculated as the total direct production expenditures as defined above (in US dollars) incurred during the period, divided by the volume of U₃O₈ pounds produced in the same period. Management uses Cost of Production per pound to track progress of operational performance, to assess profitability at various uranium price points, and to identify trends in operating costs. It is also a key metric for investors and analysts to evaluate how efficiently the Company is producing uranium, independent of depreciation and accounting adjustments.

This measure allows stakeholders to monitor trends in direct production costs and to assess the Company’s operating breakeven threshold relative to uranium market prices. Investors are cautioned that our Cost of Production metric may not be comparable with similarly titled “C1 cash cost” metrics of other uranium producers, as there can be differences in methodology (e.g., treatment of royalties or certain site costs). Paladin’s Cost of Production figure as defined above, focuses strictly on the on-site cost to produce uranium concentrate in the current period. All figures are in US$/lb U₃O₈.

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CLINUVEL’s innovative photomedicine and vitiligo programs featured extensively at the recent American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting, the world’s largest gathering of dermatology professionals. Through the Company’s bespoke Pavilion of Photomedicine and conference sessions across five days, the development and commercialisation of CLINUVEL’s proprietary peptides in dermatology was presented to over 20,000 delegates.

Building on momentum from the 2025 AAD meeting, AAD 2026 saw CLINUVEL’s ambition translate into deeper engagement with the medical community, with the Pavilion now an established hub for meaningful scientific exchange and candid dialogues. The CLINUVEL team welcomed thousands of visitors, including many returning physicians eager to review the progress of the Company’s clinical programs.

New insights in vitiligo therapy

The 2026 meeting reflected a maturing dialogue regarding the standard of care and potential of new therapies for patients with vitiligo. While the recent focus in the field has been on immune-suppressing JAK inhibitors, clinicians are increasingly identifying the practical challenges of long-term treatment dependency and the prevalence of relapse upon cessation of treatment. This shift in treatment discourse highlights an increasing demand for therapies that prioritise sustained stability and patient safety over the long term.

CLINUVEL’s investigational approach offers a fundamentally different path. The Company’s ongoing Phase III vitiligo study (CUV105) is evaluating afamelanotide as a systemic therapy with adjunct narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy to stimulate repigmentation and stabilise the disease, rather than suppressing the body’s immune system. Afamelanotide, a linear peptide administered in a controlled-release injectable implant, is not currently approved for vitiligo anywhere in the world.

At the Global Vitiligo Foundation (GVF) Annual Symposium, Professor Antoine Bertolotti (University Hospital of La Réunion) presented patient case studies from CUV105, reporting repigmentation following 20 weeks of afamelanotide with adjunct NB-UVB. Crucially, the data showed that patients with darker skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI) maintained their pigmentation up to the six month follow-up visit subsequent to withdrawal of therapy. Notably, even patients with active disease (i.e. where the condition is actively spreading) showed a response to therapy in these clinical cases.

Holistic patient care

While CLINUVEL’s primary clinical focus remains its rigorous path toward regulatory approval in vitiligo, the Company’s work at the Pavilion highlighted a holistic philosophy that extends beyond the clinic. Unlike standard models, CLINUVEL takes a long-term view of patient care by creating dedicated spaces for patients to share their experiences and advocate for improvements in clinical trial diversity and mental health support.

The three-day speaker program emphasised this commitment, featuring patients, physicians, and even healthcare partners coming together to exchange insights on topics ranging from fostering inclusivity when engaging with patient communities, to the regulatory and cultural differences in managing vitiligo in different parts of the world.

Technology and digital impact: creating a global buzz

The innovations showcased in Denver extended into the digital sphere, creating significant engagement across social media. CLINUVEL’s outreach efforts reached over 314,000 unique users, with daily wrap-up content generating thousands of interactions. This digital buzz mirrors the energy at the Pavilion, where the Company introduced its proprietary Vitiligo Visual Algorithm (VVA) – an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tool designed to objectively assess pigmentation using standardised clinical photographs, tracking an individual patient’s treatment progress over time. This tool is now being refined with the assistance of physicians, patients and researchers.

Commentary

“Returning to the AAD for a second year has allowed us to witness a significant maturation in the clinical dialogue surrounding vitiligo,” said Dr Linda Teng, CLINUVEL’s Director of North American Operations. “Our engagement in Denver confirms a growing recognition among the medical community that the next frontier in vitiligo care must prioritise long-term physiological stability and safety beyond immune-suppression.

“The overwhelming response to the Pavilion this year validates our longstanding focus on melanocortin peptides and reinforces our mission to advance clinical programs that truly reflect the life-long needs of the patients we serve.”

PERTH, Australia, April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canyon Resources Limited (ASX: CAY) (“Canyon” or “the Company”) has released a corporate update, along with a progress report on the development of its Minim Martap Bauxite Project (“Minim Martap” or “the Project”), located in Cameroon.

Corporate Update

Chief Executive Officer, Peter Secker, has tendered his resignation from the Company for personal reasons. He will remain in his role over the coming months to lead Canyon through the critical transition to production at Minim Martap, ensuring continuity and momentum ahead of a successor being appointed. Mr Secker has also agreed to remain available for an additional period, if required, to assist with the executive recruitment process and ensure operations continue as scheduled.

The Board and management team extend their sincere appreciation to Mr Secker for his valuable contributions to Canyon during his tenure. They also acknowledge and thank him for his continued support as the Company advances its strategic transition toward becoming a globally significant bauxite producer.

Furthermore, Mark Hohnen has transitioned into a Non-Executive Chairman role and Non-Executive Director Scott Phegan, has informed the Board of his resignation, effective immediately, as he refocuses his priorities on his executive roles.

Mr Phegan was appointed Non-Executive Director in August 2022 and has been a key member of the Company’s leadership team throughout Canyon’s transition into a global bauxite producer. The Company thanks Mr Phegan for his contributions to the achievement of significant milestones during his tenure, as the Minim Martap Project progresses towards first production target for Q2, 2026.

Canyon Non-Executive Chairman Mark Hohnen commented: “Peter has been instrumental in the successful development of Minim Martap which is now on the cusp of becoming a tier-one bauxite operation, and we thank him for his invaluable contribution. We fully understand and respect Peter’s decision and have now commenced a global search for a senior executive with specific bauxite and alumina operations experience to move Minim Martap forward as it commences full production.

“Scott leaves with our best wishes for his ongoing success with his other ventures. We are sorry to see him depart, and we thank him for his contribution to Canyon. We understand the significant time and effort required for non-executive roles and respect his decision to focus on his executive positions.”

Development Update

At Minim Martap the surface miner, which was commissioned in February, has been mobilised to site at the Daniel Plateau, and will commence trial mining operations this month. First production at Minim Martap remains on schedule for mid Q2, 2026.

Upgrade works on the haul road connecting the Danielle Plateau to the Inland Rail Facility (“IRF”) are progressing as planned. The haul road remains on schedule to support the commencement of ore haulage from the mine to the IRF upon the commencement of production.

The first seven locomotives were shipped from China at the end of March and are expected to arrive at the Port of Douala in late Q2 2026, ahead of first shipment in Q3, 2026.

Considering previous adjustments to the locomotive delivery schedule, the Company refined its logistics sequencing, with the maiden bauxite trial shipment scheduled for Q3, 2026, which allows for an extended commissioning and ramp-up phase towards full-scale bauxite shipments in Q4, 2026.

Discussions with Camrail relating to Canyon increasing its current stake from 9.1% to more than 20% are continuing. The increase in investment in Camrail would enable greater participation in the PQ2 upgrade, further strengthening and de-risking the Company’s mine-to-port logistics strategy. Canyon expects to increase its position in Camrail this quarter.

Image 3 and 4: Surface Miner Arriving on Site

Canyon is engaging with several potential offtake partners, with the Company aiming to finalise agreements following the completion of initial bauxite shipments, allowing Canyon to demonstrate the high grade, high purity of the Minim Martap ore reserve, which comprises of 51% alumina and approximately 2% silica.¹

The Feasibility Study for the proposed value-adding alumina refinery is progressing according to schedule and is anticipated to be completed by Q3 2026 for release to the market.

The Feasibility Study is assessing Canyon’s downstream strategy and supporting the primary objective of positioning the Company as an integrated participant in the global aluminium value chain. The Study leverages the cost benefits of operating in Cameroon and the Project’s low-silica, high-grade bauxite.

Recently, updated financial cashflow modelling has confirmed that the Company’s current cash position along with existing AFG Bank Cameroon (AFG) debt facility of US$140M ensures Canyon is fully funded for Stage 1 capital development costs as outlined in the DFS dated 1 September 2025 and up to first shipment of ore from Minim Martap.

The Board has resolved, subject to the completion of investigations into the relevant holders, for the Company issue one option for every two shares acquired by investors who participated in the Company’s Tranche 1 capital raising at $0.26 per share announced on 25 September 2025 and who remained as a shareholder on 9 March 2026. The options are proposed to have an exercise price of $0.255 per option, being a 50% premium to Canyon’s share price on 9 March 2026 and a 2-year term.

The Company will provide a further update and confirmation of the proposed option issue once it has completed its investigations, including who will be entitled to participate in and the terms of the options issue.

This announcement has been approved for release by Canyon’s Board of Directors.

What is Vital Hemp Gummies?

Vital Hemp Gummies are a modern, plant-based dietary supplement designed to support overall health and wellness using the natural benefits of hemp-derived ingredients. Unlike traditional supplements that come in capsules or powders, these gummies offer a convenient and enjoyable way to incorporate hemp into your daily routine. They are typically made using hemp seed oil or hemp extract, which are known for being rich in essential nutrients like Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, antioxidants, and other beneficial plant compounds. What makes Vital Hemp Gummies particularly appealing is that they are non-intoxicating, meaning they do not produce any “high” commonly associated with cannabis products, as they contain little to no THC.

These gummies are often formulated to promote relaxation, support better sleep, and help manage everyday stress, making them suitable for individuals dealing with busy, demanding lifestyles. In addition to their calming properties, they may also contribute to improved heart health, enhanced mental clarity, and overall physical balance due to their nutritional profile. Vital Hemp Gummies are commonly crafted with natural flavors and vegan-friendly ingredients, making them accessible to a wide range of users. Overall, they represent a simple, tasty, and natural approach to maintaining wellness, especially for those looking to avoid synthetic supplements while still benefiting from the power of hemp.

How Does Vital Hemp Gummies Work?

Vital Hemp Gummies work by supporting the body’s natural balance through a combination of hemp-derived compounds and essential nutrients. Their effectiveness is largely linked to how these compounds interact with the body’s internal systems, especially the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a key role in regulating functions like mood, sleep, stress response, and overall stability.

In addition to this, the presence of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids helps nourish the brain and heart, while also reducing inflammation in the body. These nutrients contribute to better cognitive function, improved circulation, and overall physical comfort. Some formulations may also include vitamins and minerals that further enhance relaxation, energy levels, and immune support.

Another important aspect of how Vital Hemp Gummies work is their ability to indirectly support sleep quality. By calming the nervous system and easing mental tension, they can help the body transition into a more restful state, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

Overall, Vital Hemp Gummies take a holistic approach by working with the body’s natural systems rather than overriding them, helping users feel more balanced, relaxed, and supported in their daily lives.

The Science Behind Vital Hemp Gummies

The effectiveness of Vital Hemp Gummies is rooted in how hemp-derived compounds interact with the body’s natural systems, particularly the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for maintaining balance in functions such as mood, sleep, pain response, and immune activity. When consumed, the active components in hemp—along with essential fatty acids like Omega-3 and Omega-6—are absorbed through the digestive system and gradually enter the bloodstream.

These compounds help support communication between cells and receptors in the ECS, encouraging the body to maintain a stable internal environment. In addition, the nutrients found in hemp contribute to brain health, reduce inflammation, and support cardiovascular function. The calming effect often associated with these gummies may also be linked to their ability to help regulate stress hormones like cortisol, promoting relaxation and improved sleep quality. Overall, Vital Hemp Gummies work in a holistic way by supporting the body’s natural processes rather than forcing immediate changes, which is why consistent use over time is often recommended for noticeable results.

Benefits of Vital Hemp Gummies

Vital Hemp Gummies offer a wide range of potential benefits, making them a versatile and convenient supplement for individuals looking to support their daily health naturally. Thanks to their blend of hemp-derived nutrients, essential fatty acids, and supportive compounds, these gummies work holistically to improve both mental and physical well-being. Below are some of the key benefits explained in detail:

1. Stress and Anxiety Relief

One of the most common reasons people choose Vital Hemp Gummies is for their calming effect. These gummies may help regulate the body’s stress response by supporting the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in mood balance. Regular use may promote a sense of relaxation, helping users feel more at ease during stressful situations without causing drowsiness or dependency.

2. Improved Sleep Quality

Sleep issues are often linked to stress and mental restlessness. Vital Hemp Gummies may help calm the mind and body, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night. By promoting relaxation, they can support deeper and more restorative sleep cycles, allowing users to wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

3. Pain and Inflammation Support

Hemp-derived compounds are known for their potential anti-inflammatory properties. These gummies may help reduce mild aches, joint stiffness, and everyday discomfort caused by inflammation. This makes them a popular option for individuals dealing with physically demanding routines or age-related discomfort.

4. Enhanced Mental Clarity

In addition to promoting calmness, Vital Hemp Gummies may also support better focus and cognitive function. By reducing mental fatigue and stress, they can help improve clarity, concentration, and overall productivity, especially during long or demanding days.

5. Heart Health Support

The presence of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in hemp ingredients contributes to cardiovascular health. These essential fats help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, improve blood circulation, and support overall heart function when combined with a balanced lifestyle.

6. Immune System Boost

Vital Hemp Gummies often include vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that play a role in strengthening the immune system. These nutrients help the body defend against external stressors and support overall resilience, especially during times of physical or mental strain.

7. Overall Wellness

Perhaps the biggest advantage of Vital Hemp Gummies is their ability to support multiple aspects of health at once. From mental relaxation to physical comfort and nutritional support, they provide a well-rounded approach to wellness. With consistent use, many users experience a greater sense of balance, energy, and overall vitality in their daily lives.

Who Should Use It?

Thanks to their gentle, plant-based formulation, they can fit into a variety of lifestyles and health goals. These gummies are especially suitable for people who prefer a convenient alternative to capsules or oils while still benefiting from hemp-derived nutrients.

NEW YORK, April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: HCACU) (“HCAC”) and REEcycle Holdings, Inc. (“REEcycle”) today announced the execution of a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) for a proposed de-SPAC business combination.

The proposed transaction values REEcycle at approximately US$600 million, assuming no redemptions by HCAC public shareholders, with REEcycle existing shareholders expected to roll 100% of their equity into the combined publicly listed entity. The transaction is expected to include a minimum US$50 million PIPE financing at US$10.00 per share, providing committed capital at closing and supporting the execution of REEcycle’s near-term growth strategy.

The transaction comes at a pivotal time for U.S. critical minerals policy. China currently controls an estimated 90% of rare earth separation and processing and ~93% of permanent magnet manufacturing globally.¹ In response, the U.S. Government, through Department of Defense and Department of Energy initiatives, has committed billions of dollars to strengthening domestic critical mineral supply chains, including rare earth processing.² REEcycle has been awarded and is drawing upon US$5.1 million of Defense Production Act funding, supporting the advancement of its domestic rare earth processing capabilities.

REEcycle is advancing a technology-led solution to rare earth supply constraints. Its proprietary recycling process extracts and separates rare earth elements from end-of-life electronics and industrial products, offering a faster, lower-capex and scalable alternative to traditional mining. This approach enables near-term domestic supply while reducing exposure to geopolitical disruption.

The global rare earth market was valued at approximately US$19 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach ~US$36.7 billion by 2034, with recycling expected to grow at an accelerated rate as demand for domestically sourced materials increases.³

REEcycle’s Executive Chairman and largest shareholder is Mick McMullen, a highly respected mining executive with over 30 years of leadership experience across global mining and capital markets. He is best known for his tenure as President and CEO of Detour Gold Corporation, where he grew the company’s market capitalisation from C$2.1 billion to C$4.9 billion in nine months, culminating in its acquisition by Kirkland Lake Gold.⁴ His investment in REEcycle reflects strong conviction in recycling-led onshoring.

“We are addressing a critical U.S. supply gap with a faster and more capital-efficient solution than traditional mining, scalable across the U.S. and globally. This is both a technology opportunity and a national security priority.”

— Mick McMullen, Executive Chairman, REEcycle Holdings

Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. raised US$207 million in its Nasdaq IPO in November 2025 and is focused on transactions in critical minerals and industrial technology sectors.

“REEcycle represents a rare combination of proprietary technology, experienced leadership, and direct alignment with U.S. critical minerals strategy. We see this as a platform capable of becoming a meaningful domestic supplier, and we are excited to bring that opportunity to public investors.”

— Alex Bono, CEO, Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp.

PERTH, Australia, March 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX:PDN, TSX:PDN, OTCQX:PALAF) (Paladin or the Company) has been notified that the Métis Nation–Saskatchewan (MN–S) has applied for a judicial review in the Saskatchewan Court of King’s Bench, to challenge the 19 February 2026 decision (Decision) of the Saskatchewan Minister of Environment to approve the Company’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Patterson Lake South (PLS) Project¹.

Paladin recognises the unique rights, cultures and histories of Indigenous peoples, as well as their distinct interests and concerns. We seek to develop partnerships that promote ongoing communication, relationship building, engagement, and socio-economic benefits for Indigenous communities.

Paladin Canada Inc. (previously known as Fission Uranium Corp.) has been consulting with MN–S regarding the PLS Project for many years. Paladin Canada Inc. has made significant efforts to address all environmental and other issues raised by the MN-S in the course of those consultations.

The MN–S court application is directed to both the Government of Saskatchewan and Paladin Energy Limited. The MN–S application alleges that the Government of Saskatchewan inadequately consulted the MN–S prior to the Decision on the EIS.

The application seeks to set aside the Decision by the Saskatchewan Minister of Environment. It also seeks an interim injunction preventing Paladin from taking action in reliance on the Decision, pending judicial determination of the merits of MN–S’ application.

Paladin denies the claims made in the application and intends to defend its position in this matter.

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Managing Director and CEO of Paladin Energy Ltd.

IBG Acquires 51% stake in BlockFuel Energy as business combination nears completion

Once complete, the combined entity will become a rising oil producer and power generation company with near-term production and scalable growth strategy

SYDNEY, March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Innovation Beverage Group Ltd (“IBG” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: IBG), an innovative developer, manufacturer, and marketer of a growing beverage portfolio of 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands, today announced that it has acquired a controlling interest in BlockFuel Energy Inc. (“BFE”), a Texas-based energy corporation. This transaction represents a significant milestone towards the proposed merger between both companies, which they anticipate closing in the coming weeks.

On March 16, 2026, IBG entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with certain shareholders of BFE pursuant to which IBG acquired 127,628 shares of BFE common stock, representing approximately 51% of BFE’s outstanding equity. As consideration for those shares, IBG issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,815,766 ordinary shares of IBG at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, which are not exercisable until shareholder approval and approval by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC are obtained. The warrant shares represent 45.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of IBG and will represent 51% of the Merger Consideration payable at the time of the closing of the merger. Upon the consummation of the proposed merger between IBG and BFE, the warrants will be automatically adjusted to an aggregate of 20,643,297 ordinary shares of IBG and will be deemed exercised.

As part of the transaction, IBG also provided BFE with a $2.5 million unsecured loan, which facilitated the repurchase and cancellation of certain outstanding BFE shares. Following the closing of the previously announced merger, this loan will convert into an intercompany balance within the combined organization, further consolidating IBG’s ownership position.

Concurrently, IBG, BFE, and IBG’s wholly owned subsidiary, InnoBev Merger Corp., entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger. Upon completion of the proposed merger, BFE will become a wholly owned subsidiary of IBG and BFE equity holders are expected to own approximately 90% of the combined company, with IBG’s existing shareholders owning approximately 10%, subject to customary adjustments and dilution.

Strategic Transformation Nearing Completion

The transaction represents a strategic expansion of IBG into the energy and high-powered computing sectors. BFE focuses on the acquisition and development of oil and gas assets and the conversion of underutilized natural gas into electricity to power high-performance computing operations. BFE operates primarily in the United States, including Oklahoma, and is developing a vertically integrated platform combining energy production, power generation, and data centers.

Upon completion of the merger, the combined company is expected to operate under the BlockFuel Energy name, with IBG’s existing beverage business transitioning into an Australian-based subsidiary led by IBG’s CEO Sahil Beri as President. The new parent company will focus on scaling its U.S. onshore oil and gas operations.

“Completing the acquisition of a controlling interest in BlockFuel Energy advances our strategic transition and brings the merger closer to completion,” said Sahil Beri, Chief Executive Officer of Innovation Beverage Group. “We are positioning IBG for long-term growth by focusing on energy assets with strong fundamentals and near-term production potential, while maintaining our beverage business as a distinct subsidiary.”

“This transaction marks a significant step in building a scalable, U.S.-focused energy platform,” said Daniel Lanskey, Chief Executive Officer of BlockFuel Energy. “With a strengthened capital structure and aligned ownership, we are focused on advancing production and expanding our asset base as we begin operations.”

Building a Scalable U.S. Energy Platform

BlockFuel Energy is focused on the acquisition, development, and operation of oil and gas assets, with current operations primarily located in the United States, including acreage positions in Oklahoma.

The transaction provides IBG with immediate exposure to producing and development-stage energy assets, positioning the Company to pursue near-term revenue generation and long-term asset growth.

Based on preliminary engineering and comparable field deployments, BFE management believes onsite gas-to-power costs could be meaningfully below grid-based power pricing, while avoiding transportation, processing, and third-party power costs.

The acquisition was completed in connection with an amended and restated merger agreement between IBG and BFE. The closing of the full merger remains subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

Dubai, UAE, March 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Expat US Tax has released an analysis examining how recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East are affecting Americans living and traveling across the region. The review focuses on practical issues that U.S. expats may encounter, including travel disruptions, embassy advisories, and day-to-day logistical challenges as governments monitor security developments.

Impact of the U.S.–Israel War on Iran and Challenges for U.S. Expats

Over the past several weeks, tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran have led to heightened security alerts and precautionary measures across parts of the Middle East. Governments in several countries have issued travel advisories, increased security measures around infrastructure and transportation networks, and temporarily adjusted airspace access in response to regional developments.

These changes have had a direct impact on international travel. Airlines operating across the Middle East have modified flight routes or temporarily suspended certain services when airspace restrictions were introduced. In some cases, travelers have experienced delays or cancellations as airlines adjusted operations to maintain safe flight paths.

For Americans living in the region, these developments can affect routine activities such as business travel, family visits, or relocation plans. Large American expatriate communities reside in countries including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, and Kuwait, where many work in sectors such as energy, aviation, finance, education, and international business.

Clark Stott, Director at Expat US Tax, said that events affecting regional transportation or embassy operations can have practical implications for Americans living abroad.

“Americans living overseas often manage international travel, cross-border employment, and family commitments in multiple countries,” Stott said. “When regional developments affect transportation or consular services, expatriates may need to adjust travel plans or monitor official government guidance more closely.”

Government agencies have encouraged citizens abroad to stay informed through official advisories and embassy updates. U.S. citizens living overseas may receive updates through embassy communications, travel advisories, and emergency notification systems designed to provide timely information during rapidly evolving situations.

Travel and Embassy Operations

One of the most immediate effects of regional instability is the adjustment of aviation routes and airport operations. Airlines may reroute flights to avoid restricted airspace, while airports can temporarily limit operations if security concerns arise. These changes may result in longer travel times or limited flight availability between international hubs.

Embassy services may also adjust operations during periods of heightened security awareness. While most diplomatic missions continue to provide routine consular services, embassies may issue additional guidance for citizens or temporarily modify staffing levels depending on local conditions.

For Americans abroad, embassy communication channels often serve as an important source of information. Citizens can receive updates regarding local developments, travel advisories, or recommended safety precautions.

Considerations for U.S. Expats

For expatriates living in the Middle East, the most common impacts tend to involve logistical and planning considerations rather than direct security concerns. Travel arrangements, visa timelines, and relocation plans can be affected when airlines modify schedules or when governments introduce temporary travel guidance.

Many expatriates also maintain connections across multiple countries, making regional mobility an important part of daily life. Business travelers, contractors, educators, and international employees may rely on regional flights between Gulf cities, Europe, and Asia. Changes in aviation routes or airport operations can therefore influence professional schedules and personal travel.

In these situations, experts generally recommend monitoring official government advisories and maintaining flexibility in travel planning. Staying informed through embassy updates and airline notifications can help expatriates respond to changing travel conditions.

U.S. Tax Considerations for Americans Abroad

In addition to travel logistics, Americans living overseas continue to manage ongoing financial and tax obligations in the United States. Unlike most countries, the United States taxes its citizens based on citizenship rather than residency. As a result, U.S. citizens living abroad generally remain required to file annual U.S. tax returns if their income exceeds certain thresholds.

For expatriates who move between countries or adjust employment arrangements due to regional developments, maintaining accurate financial records can be especially important. Changes in residency, employment contracts, or income sources may affect how certain tax provisions apply.

Clark Stott noted that geopolitical developments sometimes highlight the complexity of financial planning for Americans abroad.

“Even during periods of regional uncertainty, U.S. tax filing requirements continue to apply,” Stott said. “For expatriates who relocate, change employment, or move between countries, maintaining organized financial records and understanding filing obligations can help avoid compliance issues later.”

U.S. expats may also rely on provisions such as the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and foreign tax credits, which are designed to help reduce double taxation for Americans working overseas.

Looking Ahead

While governments and international organizations continue to monitor developments across the Middle East, many analysts note that travel conditions and security advisories can evolve quickly during periods of geopolitical tension.

For Americans living abroad, access to accurate information and reliable guidance remains important. Monitoring embassy communications, staying informed about travel advisories, and maintaining awareness of administrative obligations can help expatriates navigate changing conditions while continuing their work and daily life overseas.

About Expat US Tax

Expat US Tax is an advisory firm that assists U.S. citizens living abroad with tax compliance, planning, and reporting obligations. The firm provides tax preparation and advisory services to Americans residing in more than 190 countries, helping expatriates navigate the complexities of U.S. citizenship-based taxation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global asset management company Starfleet Innotech, Inc. (OTC: SFIO-Smokefree Innotec, Inc.) entered into a partnership last month with food ingredients supplier Annapolis Co., Ltd., granting SFIO distribution rights over a suite of products under their premium beverage solutions brand LongBeach. This is the latest in a series of agreements the asset company has signed, following a similar arrangement with SFIO’s New Zealand-based subsidiary Gorgeous Coffee Co. Altogether, these partnerships are projected to launch SFIO towards their $100 million revenue target by the end of 2022.

With this latest partnership, Thailand’s leading premium ingredients supplier for beverages and bakeries, Annapolis Co., Ltd. will see its LongBeach brand premium purees, syrups, sauces, powders, and teas sold across SFIO’s sprawling food service network in Australia and New Zealand.

According to the latest data from Statista, despite the ongoing pandemic, Australia and New Zealand’s cafes, restaurants, and takeaway food services together present a roughly $36 billion market, which is expected to grow steadily over the next few years. Beginning January 2022, SFIO will be the sole distributor of LongBeach products across these two markets’ thriving food service industries. The company expects this deal alone to bring in up to $5 million in additional revenue for SFIO’s food and beverage division.

Earlier this year, SFIO established a global expansion roadmap for their fully-owned subsidiary Gorgeous Coffee Co. that would see New Zealand Manuka honey and a premium health brand of 5-in-1 Instant Coffee reaching US shelves as early as next year.

New Zealand’s Manuka honey, considered the best in the world, is a highly valued, energy-boosting superfood boasting a distinct earthy flavor and health benefits such as antioxidants, probiotics, and antibacterial support. The honey is graded according to a global potency scale called the Unique Manuka Factor, or UMF. Coming January 2022, SFIO will be distributing Manuka honey variants including UMF 5+, UMF 10+, UMF 15+, and UMF 20+.

Revenues from this arrangement are expected to reach $1 million by the end of 2022. Samples of the Manuka honey products have already been shipped to the United States and parts of the United Arab Emirates, with SFIO currently working on sending more to other countries across Asia.

Similarly, Gorgeous Coffee Co.’s 5-in-1 Instant Coffee will be exported across the United States, Australia, and Asia, including the United Arab Emirates. The product is a healthful mix of premium Arabica coffee, Manuka honey, barley grass, non-dairy MCT creamer, and Stevia. In addition to the benefits of Manuka honey, the instant coffee mix claims to aid in digestion, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity thanks to its barley components. Followers of the popular keto diet will also appreciate the instant coffee’s MCT creamer, an easy-to-digest alternative to traditional dairy.

The instant coffee product is expected to bring in at least $2 million in additional revenue for SFIO. Samples have already been sent to potential partners in the United States.

These partnerships play into the asset management company’s long-term ecosystem strategy, which prioritizes high-value synergies across its growing portfolio of companies. Leveraging the expanding footprint of its food and beverage businesses, including flagship franchise business Epiphany Cafe, these products will be rapidly stocking shelves across the globe as early as the first quarter of next year.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Sept. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Innovative biotechnology company SRW Laboratories has engaged former Deputy Prime Minister Paula Bennett as brand ambassador to promote the company’s leading-edge range of health supplements. SRW recently launched with a range of supplements formulated to target cellular function and support healthy aging.

Known for her wit, media savvy and stylish fashion sense, making New Zealand’s best dressed list in 2020, Paula Bennett is also known for overcoming significant health challenges. The combination of these factors makes her a perfect fit for SRW which aims to help people adopt a new approach to healthy aging. 

Bennett held 14 portfolios during her political career, rising to become Deputy Prime Minister. She has recently returned to public attention as host of the successful new TV show ‘Give Us a Clue’, hosting alongside comedian Tom Sainsbury and renowned journalist Hilary Barry.

During her time in government, Paula Bennett was best known for leading social welfare reforms as Minister of Social Development (MSD) in New Zealand. Bennett’s concerns surrounded the aging population and the increasing number of people on welfare. Her stance encouraged people to lead independent, healthy lives focusing on their wellbeing. After 15 years in her political career, Paula Bennett acknowledges the importance of a healthy lifestyle in helping to mitigate the issue of the aging population and national health.

Following her own quest to be healthier and more energetic, Bennett identifies with the goal of SRW to lengthen healthspan – the length in a person’s life that they are in good health. An active family and professional life give her great reason to maintain health and energy levels:

“I actually embrace aging and want to be around for longer, but I’m not an expert and I’m not a scientist, so like anyone else I started going to the experts and listening to them. And that’s what led me to SRW.”

Founder of SRW Laboratories, biotechnologist Greg Macpherson is excited about the relationship:

“We are thrilled to have Paula onboard. I greatly admire her personal and professional achievements and she ticks many boxes for SRW. We are a proud New Zealand business and looking expand globally, so we sought someone with international notability, style and intelligence, that reflects the energy we want our customers to aspire to.”

Locomotives ordered recently from CRRC Ziyan Co. Ltd¹ are being built in China and are on schedule to be delivered to Canyon in the first quarter of next year. Similarly, the rail wagons delivery is also scheduled for Q1, 2026 in line with the forecast first shipment of bauxite ore in Q2, 2026.

The mining contractor appointed to the Minim Martap Project has visited the site and has confirmed it will be in position to commence mining operations in the Q1 2026.

Importantly, with first bauxite shipment scheduled for Q2, 2026, Minim Martap remains fully financed to Stage 1 production, by a combination of both debt and equity facilities. Funding comprises the previously announced ~US$140M facility from AFG Bank Cameroon² and the recent A$35.6M equity raise³ in September 2025 which saw 56.5% shareholder, Eagle Eye Assets (“EEA”), also commit to exercising approximately 137 million options to raise an additional A$10M.

Tranche 2 of the equity raise, comprising a placement of A$100M to EEA and a A$70M placement to CEMAC investors being undertaken by Afriland Bourse & Investissement (“Afriland”), remains conditional on shareholder approval. In addition, the AfriLand tranche requires approval from the Banque des États de l’Afrique Centrale, the central bank for the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, the Commission de Surveillance du marché financier de l’Afrique Centrale, the market regulator for the Central African Economic and Monetary Community and the Government of Cameroon, which is still ongoing. The Annual General Meeting is to be held on the 25^th of November 2025.

Commenting on project funding, EEA stated: “We look forward to maintaining our strong partnership with Canyon as it continues to advance key project milestones in the near term and to completing the next phase of A$100M of equity funding under Tranche 2.”

Canyon Chief Executive Officer Peter Secker commented: “Following the recent presidential election in Cameroon, work on the Company’s Minim Martap project has continued without any significant disruptions and we remain on schedule for the first bauxite shipment from Minim Martap to be completed in Q2 of next year.

Canyon is well funded following the recent capital raisings, which allowed us to secure commitment of key long lead items such as locomotives and wagons, which will be delivered on time in the first quarter of 2026. 

This announcement has been approved for release by Canyon’s Board of Directors.

Forward looking statements
This announcement contains “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information”, such as statements and forecasts which include (without limitation) financial forecasts, production targets, industry and trend projections, statements about the feasibility of the Project and its financial outcomes (including pursuant to the DFS), future strategies, results and outlook of Canyon and the opportunities available to Canyon. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements and information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “is expecting”, “budget”, ‘outlook”, “scheduled”, “target”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “believes”, or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Such information is based on assumptions and judgments of Canyon regarding future events and results. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements and information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, targets, performance or achievements of Canyon to be materially different from any future results, targets, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information.

Forward-looking statements and information are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, sensitivities, contingencies, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of Canyon and its directors and management. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Key risk factors (including as associated with the DFS) are detailed (non-exhaustively) in this announcement or in Canyon’s previous ASX announcements). These and other factors (such as risk factors that are currently unknown) could cause actual results, targets, performance or achievements anticipated (including in the DFS) to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements and information.

Forward-looking statements and information (including Canyon’s belief that it has a reasonable basis to expect it will be able to fund the costs of the Project for its estimated life of mine) are (further to the above) based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of Canyon made in light of its perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that Canyon believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date such statements are made, but which may prove to be incorrect. Although Canyon believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements and information (including as described throughout this announcement) are reasonable, readers are cautioned that this is not exhaustive of all factors which may impact on the forward-looking statements and information. Canyon does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements or information, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Investors should note that there is no certainty that the Project will be feasible and there can be no assurance of whether it will be developed, constructed and commence operations, whether the DFS results will be accurate, whether production targets will be achieved or whether Canyon will be able to raise funding when it is required (nor any certainty as to the form such capital raising may take, such as equity, debt, hybrid and/or other capital raising). It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that dilute or otherwise affect the value of Canyon’s shares. It is also possible that Canyon could pursue other ‘value realisation’ strategies such as sale, partial sale, or joint venture of the Project. Risk factors which are set out (non-exhaustively) in this announcement, or in Canyon’s previous ASX announcements, highlight key factors identified by Canyon which may cause actual results to differ from the DFS or may otherwise have material detrimental impacts on Canyon and its business.  

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
This announcement contains estimates of the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves estimated for the Project. This information in this announcement that relates to those Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves has been extracted from Canyon’s accompanying ASX announcement entitled “Definitive Feasibility Study Results and Reserves Upgrade Confirms Minim Martap as a Tier-One Bauxite Operation” dated 1 September 2025, a copy of which is available at www.asx.com.au. Canyon confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that announcement and, in relation to the estimates of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, confirms that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
