Gisborne’s rugby community celebrated the completion of the John Heikell Grandstand at Rugby Park redevelopment today, marking the return of one of East Coast Tairāwhiti’s most iconic sporting venues and a significant achievement for the region.

Associate Regional Development Minister Mark Patterson joined Gisborne locals today to celebrate the reopening of the revitalised facility.

“Since opening in 1955, Rugby Park is one of New Zealand’s historic provincial rugby grounds. It has hosted legendary touring sides including the Springboks and the British & Irish Lions, and the ground has been graced by rugby icons such as Ian Kirkpatrick, Richard “Tiny” White and Bob Scott.” Mr Patterson says.

“Home of the Poverty Bay Rugby Union, it’s great to see the park restored as a premier facility for rugby and other sporting codes, and a place where locals can come together to celebrate major events.” 

The original grandstand closed in 2019 after assessments found it was no longer safe to use, with significant seismic deficiencies and deteriorating building materials.

“With support from central government and local government partners, Rugby Park has been transformed into a modern, fit-for-purpose facility. 

“The redevelopment includes a new 900-seat covered grandstand, upgraded player and media facilities, a modern scoreboard, and extensive improvements to the park’s grounds and infrastructure,” Mr Patterson says.

“It not only restores a treasured sporting venue but also strengthens the region’s ability to host major cultural and community events, attract visitors, and support local economic activity.”

The project received $11.3 million in grant funding from the government for the rebuild. Co-funding for the project was provided by Trust Tairāwhiti and the Lottery Grants Board. The total project value is $12.5 million. 

“This investment helped support 26 local businesses during construction and kept money in the local economy, while building a facility that will serve Tairāwhiti for generations to come,” Mr Patterson says.

NEW YORK, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 July 2026 – On July 15 (EDT, GMT-4), the second semi-final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup took place in Atlanta. Meanwhile, outside New York New Jersey Stadium, the host venue for this year’s World Cup Final, Mengniu, as an Official Sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, unveiled a 400-square-meter Chinese Culture Pavilion created in collaboration with multiple partners. Using football as its bridge, the brand as its platform, and Chinese culture as its heart, the immersive pavilion seamlessly blended the passion of the beautiful game with the elegance of traditional Chinese aesthetics, presenting China’s stories to a global audience on one of the world’s greatest sporting stages.

Mengniu’s Chinese Culture Pavilion Debuts at the FIFA World Cup, Showcasing Chinese Culture to the World

On the pitch, a single football captures the attention of billions. Beyond the stadium, civilizations come together through cultural exchange.

The Mengniu Chinese Culture Pavilion marks the first comprehensive international presentation of Beijing Central Axis since its inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and debuts at one of the world’s premier sporting events. Inspired by the architectural aesthetics of traditional Chinese architecture and the spatial order of Beijing Central Axis, the pavilion follows a symmetrical layout centered on a principal axis. At its entrance stands the monumental painting Magnificent Central Axis, offering a panoramic bird’s-eye view of Beijing’s historic Central Axis while conveying, through artistic expression, the Eastern philosophy and cultural values it embodies. As visitors explore the pavilion, football fans from around the world pause to experience its interactive exhibits, immersing themselves in the richness of Chinese traditional culture. Standing outside New York New Jersey Stadium, the pavilion continues to tell vivid, contemporary stories of China to a global audience.

Beyond Football: Mengniu Elevates Cultural Exchange on the World Cup Stage

For Mengniu, building a Chinese Culture Pavilion at this FIFA World Cup reflects a deeper understanding of the powerful connection between sport and cultural exchange. Mengniu believes that the FIFA World Cup is not only the pinnacle of football competition but also a global platform where diverse civilizations meet, connect, and learn from one another. As an Official Sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup from China, Mengniu sees it as both an opportunity and a responsibility to share China’s stories and showcase the richness of Chinese civilization with audiences worldwide. This commitment extends beyond football. During the Paris Summer Olympic Games and the Milan Winter Olympic Games, Mengniu, as a Worldwide Olympic Partner (TOP), continuously hosted its signature “China Night” events, integrating Chinese culture into the narrative of the world’s most prestigious sporting competitions.

Beyond a Pavilion: Mengniu’s Multi-Dimensional Presence at the FIFA World Cup

As an Official Sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Mengniu’s presence extends far beyond traditional brand visibility. Its participation represents a comprehensive global strategy that integrates products, brand values, and corporate social responsibility.

On the product front, Mengniu Ice Cream has officially become the Official Ice Cream of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Mengniu Ice Cream is available at all tournament venues and has simultaneously expanded into 11 major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles and New York. By bringing world-class-quality products to international consumers, Mengniu continues to strengthen the commercial foundation for its global growth.

At the brand level, together with global brand ambassadors Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Lamine Yamal, Mengniu brings its corporate spirit, “Born for Greatness,” to life on football’s biggest stage. The company has also partnered with Hisense to launch a series of coordinated Chinese-character pitch-side advertising campaigns during the tournament. Moving beyond individual brand promotion, the two companies present a united expression of Chinese brands, confidently demonstrating the growing global influence of Chinese enterprises.

In terms of corporate social responsibility, Mengniu not only brings Chinese culture to the international stage but also demonstrates the commitment of a responsible Chinese enterprise through meaningful public initiatives. At the opening match of this year’s FIFA World Cup, six teenage footballers from Inner Mongolia were selected by Mengniu to escort the FIFA flag onto the field, creating an inspiring example of how businesses can promote youth football development while fulfilling their social responsibilities.

From a glass of milk on store shelves to a cultural journey within the pavilion, Mengniu’s World Cup presence reflects the remarkable evolution of Chinese enterprises on the global stage. Looking ahead, Mengniu will continue to leverage the world’s premier sporting events to advance health, boost brand power, strengthen global presence, and fulfill social responsibilities, contributing the strength of China’s dairy industry to sharing China’s stories and showcasing the enduring appeal of Chinese civilization with the world.

With a combined footprint of over 9,000 hectares, the twin developments, Vinhomes Green Paradise in the south and Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long in the north, position Vietnam’s real estate sector at the forefront of next-generation ESG++ urbanism, where nature regeneration, smart governance and human-centric design converge at unprecedented scale.

HO CHI MINH CITY / QUANG NINH, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 July 2026 – Vinhomes, Vietnam’s leading residential developer, is advancing a new generation of sustainable urban development with two landmark mega-projects located at the country’s northern and southern gateways.

Spanning a combined area exceeding 9,000 hectares, Vinhomes Green Paradise (2,870 hectares) in Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, and Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long (6,200 hectares) in Quang Ninh province embody the company’s ESG++ philosophy, an approach that extends beyond conventional sustainability to actively regenerate nature while integrating smart urban governance and human-centered design.

A New Generation of Cities Where Growth and Nature Advance Together

As Vietnam strengthens its position as one of Asia’s fastest-growing investment destinations, attracting record levels of foreign direct investment and a new generation of international professionals, Vinhomes is pioneering an urban development model that positions nature restoration as the foundation of long-term economic resilience and social prosperity.

According to the World Economic Forum, resilient, nature-positive cities are becoming essential to long-term economic competitiveness as climate resilience, public health and quality of life increasingly influence investment decisions. The Urban Land Institute’s Emerging Trends in Real Estate reports consistently identify sustainability, wellness and resilient mixed-use communities as among the strongest drivers of real estate value creation worldwide.

Recognizing this shift, Vinhomes has embraced a philosophy that extends beyond conventional ESG implementation. The company believes sustainable prosperity requires continuously regenerating nature rather than simply preserving what already exists, a vision that has evolved into what it calls an ESG++ approach, combining environmental restoration, smart urban governance and human-centered development at an unprecedented scale.

Vinhomes Green Paradise: A Coastal Urban Wonder in the South

Situated beside the UNESCO-recognised 75,000-hectare Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, Vinhomes Green Paradise became the first Official Participant recognised by New7Wonders for the global campaign “7 Wonders of Future Cities.” The 2,870-hectare development maintains an exceptionally low construction density of just 16%, allowing the majority of the masterplan to remain dedicated to greenery and water.

An 800-hectare natural seawater lagoon forms the ecological heart of the development, while its 121-kilometre shoreline creates one of the world’s most distinctive coastal urban landscapes. IoT, artificial intelligence and big data are embedded throughout governance, environmental monitoring and city operations to optimise sustainability and improve everyday urban management. The project integrates internationally benchmarked healthcare, education, senior living, culture, sports and entertainment into a comprehensive ecosystem designed to support every stage of life.

Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long: A Waterfront Megacity in the North

Hundreds of kilometres to the north, Vinhomes is advancing the same philosophy at an even larger scale. Officially breaking ground in April 2026, Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long spans more than 6,200 hectares, making it one of the largest coastal urban developments in Asia. Positioned directly alongside UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay, the project occupies one of the most extraordinary waterfront locations anywhere in the world.

Rather than maximising built density, the masterplan emphasises ecological regeneration. More than 2,500 hectares are dedicated to forests, wetlands and water landscapes, including 680 hectares of naturally filtered sea, 200 kilometres of white-sand coastline, and over 660 hectares of Globe Ha Long Forest Park, creating a vast regenerative ecosystem that complements the surrounding World Heritage environment.

The development is also envisioned to pursue the newly introduced ISO 37125 standard for sustainable urban development, reflecting an ambition to align with an emerging international benchmark for future ESG cities.

The project features a comprehensive “all-in-one” urban ecosystem: six residential districts, including exclusive island communities surrounded entirely by the sea, are complemented by seven globally benchmarked ecosystem clusters spanning culture, hospitality, retail, healthcare, education, sports and financial services.

Large-scale amenities include a 60,000-seat waterfront performance arena, the Wonder Theatre, an international convention centre, extensive hospitality facilities, international-standard golf courses, a world-class marina, an integrated shopping mall, professional sports facilities, Vinmec healthcare services, international education institutions, and a new central business district designed to attract global talent and investment.

The same integrated philosophy underpins Vinhomes Green Paradise, where ecological preservation, advanced technology and community wellbeing are designed to reinforce one another within a highly resilient coastal environment.

Collectively, these two mega-projects demonstrate how ESG can evolve beyond regulatory compliance to become a comprehensive framework for urban development, one capable of strengthening Vietnam’s international competitiveness not only as one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies but also as a destination for sustainable living and long-term investment. Instead of viewing environmental protection as a constraint on growth, Vinhomes positions nature restoration as the foundation of long-term economic resilience, social prosperity and global appeal.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 July 2026 – Yung’s Bistro, the contemporary dining concept under Yung Kee Restaurant, today announced the official opening of its relocated venue at Shop 704, K11 MUSEA. Unveiled with a refreshed look, the brand first debuted at this arts and architecture landmark in 2019, consistently driving a dynamic dialogue between tradition and innovation. Moving from its original location at Shop 701, this relocation deepens that vision, integrating classic Cantonese cuisine and contemporary art into a newly redesigned space.

A Dialogue in Colour and Craft

The new Yung’s Bistro showcases 3,380 square feet of inviting space, its interiors glowing in vermilion — the traditional Chinese hue first introduced at the Taikoo Place branch. A gentle touch of green also runs through the design, adding nature, heritage and a dash of style that bridges Yung’s Bistro with the iconic Yung Kee flagship.

At the entrance, handcrafted brick walls with a tactile 3D finish nod to the materials and texture of Yung Kee’s Central flagship, warmly connecting past and present with a fresh, youthful twist. Inside stands a large hand-painted mural sharing the same artistic roots as the Taikoo Place branch. Inspired by the legendary ‘Winding Stream Party,’ the artwork captures Black Mane Geese relaxing with tea in the wild, adding a touch of playful heritage to the room.

The new venue’s visual centerpiece is a pair of wall installations by local artist Sim Chan, titled ‘Who Says I’m Silly’. Blending the existing white landscape relief with detailed 3D-printed miniatures, the classic Orchid Pavilion Preface is reimagined into a fantastical Yung Kee world packed with Hong Kong humor.

Here, being ‘Silly’ simply means staying optimistic and creative. Looking closely, diners will spot whimsical miniatures like Wang Xizhi chilling with geese, a goose-shaped Star Ferry, teapot cable cars, selfie-taking scholars, and lively water sports along the lakeshore. It truly is ‘an elegant landscape from afar, an intriguing world up close.’

Two Zones Crafted for Every Occasion

The space unfolds across two tailored zones designed for different gatherings:

• Orchid Pavilion Space: Taking cues from the legendary “Winding Stream Party,” curved glass and rich vermilion accents set an easygoing, carefree vibe. Whimsical goose murals and 3D wall art add a touch of playfulness, while sunlit olive-green velvet booths line the windows -creating a cozy corner for afternoon tea or casual bites.

• The Banquet Space: Centered around a deep green marble wall, this sophisticated zone blends warmth with privacy. It features a private room with Victoria Harbour views and two semi-open spaces separated by sliding screens, providing a versatile, stylish backdrop for business dinners and celebrations of up to 50 guests.

A Culinary Symphony Reimagined

Yung’s Bistro upholds its philosophy of “Taste of Art, Made with Heart” through four key pillars: modern interpretations of classics, nostalgic favourites, childhood-inspired creations, and refined home-style dishes.

Among the modern interpretations, the Deep-fried Cod with Diced Salted Fish, Crispy Garlic and Chili in Special Sauce (HK$380) reimagines a traditional dish by combining typhoon shelter-style cod with salted fish’s umami notes, finished with yuzu juice. Nostalgic favourites include the Steamed Egg White, Mini Crab Roe with Rice (HK$150) is a classic dish that is laboriously made by hand-picking the crab roe from around ten mini crabs prized for their strong umami flavour and delicate texture. The Steamed Beef Patties and Stir-fried Sliced Beef with Premium Aged Tangerine Peel (HK$300) presents beef prepared two ways, elevated by the 25-year-old tangerine peel sourced exclusively from Xinhui.

Childhood-inspired creations feature the Roasted Whole Goose Leg with Charcoal Stove (HK$350), served tableside with a charcoal brazier to preserve its chargrilled aroma, depicting the tradition of gifting goose legs during festivals. It is followed by the White Rabbit Candies Custard (HK$58), which reimagines a beloved childhood sweet as a dessert course. Among the refined home-style dishes, the Homestyle Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables in Soy Sauce (HK$320) features Hong Kong-reared Berkshire pork prepared with traditional methods that highlight the meat’s succulence and the preserved vegetable’s natural sweetness.

Beyond the four core pillars, the team has also expanded the drinks and dining menu to cater to K11 MUSEA’s diverse clientele. A new cold-brew tea series has been introduced for summer, slow-brewed at low temperatures for a cleaner, smooth taste. Weekly rotating lunch sets have also been added for business diners seeking a quick yet polished midday option. Dim sum remains available throughout the day, featuring an enhanced weekend selection for the ultimate yum cha experience.

First-Time Collaboration with Tim Ho Wan

To celebrate the reopening, Yung Kee has collaborated with Tim Ho Wan for the first time, bringing a mini version of the limited-edition Tim Ho Wan x Yung Kee “Baked Roasted Goose Bun” to Yung’s Bistro at K11 MUSEA. Yung Kee’s roast goose is carefully deboned and combined with a secret sauce developed jointly by both brands, then encased in Tim Ho Wan’s celebrated golden, flaky baked bun.

The mini version is available exclusively at Yung’s Bistro’s K11 MUSEA branch in July, customers will receive a complimentary serving of 2 mini Baked Roasted Goose Buns upon spending a net amount of HK$500 or more in-store, and 4 pieces for those spending over HK$1,000, and so on.

Returning to K11 MUSEA, Yung’s Bistro honours its Tsim Sha Tsui heritage—welcoming familiar faces and new guests to experience an authentic, reimagined taste of Hong Kong.

Address: Shop 704, 7/F, K11 MUSEA, 18 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon
Opening Hours: Monday–Friday 11:30am–10:30pm | Saturday, Sunday & Public Holidays 11:00am–10:30pm

A limited collection of eight beachfront townhomes offers a rare opportunity to own directly on Bang Tao Beach.

Every so often, a piece of sad or shocking news appears in your feed. A well-known figure, a politician, a local leader, a sport player, even a family member is said to have fallen seriously ill or died. When shock or grief takes hold, we share, follow, and click before we verify. Scammers have learned to make use of that reflex for financial gain, and it is exactly what they are counting on.

Mark Gorrie from Gen and its family of consumer brands including Norton shares his advice on how to recognise these tactics and what to do when one reaches your feed.

High profile names are the oblivious targets, and New Zealand has produced a recent example. A famous head coach learned that fake Facebook posts were claiming his wife had died when a reporter raised it with him in front of the cameras. His wife remained alive and well, but the posts had already spread widely before anyone close to him could set the record straight.

Over the past few months, a number of pages have appeared publishing the fake deaths of known personalities, and many quietly gained thousands of followers.

Why fake obituaries get made in the first place

Fake obituaries exist to build an audience quickly. Scammers reach for famous names because recognition travels fast, and a shocking claim about someone we follow spreads before anyone thinks to check it.  A scammer posts a death notice for a recognisable name who is very much alive, then collects the clicks, shares, and engagement that follow. The link leads to a page made to look like genuine reporting, through its real purpose is to collect personal data, deliver malware, or grow a following that can later be sold, monetised, or used for the next scam. 

When the news concerns someone we admire and follow, we tend to react before we reason, and that moment of feeling is enough to skip the habit of checking. By the time the post is exposed as false, the scammer already has what they came for.

Signs of a fake obituary

Most fake obituaries reveal themselves in the same few ways, and knowing the signs makes them much easier to catch:

• The post comes from an unfamiliar page or account with little or no posting history.
• It is designed to prompt an instant share through urgency, shock, or outrage.
• The link asks you to log in, confirm your identity, or complete a survey.
• The story appears nowhere among established, reputable outlets.
• There is a clickable link that takes you to a new, and usually malicious, site

Any one of these is reason enough to slow down. Genuine news of this kind would be carried by several trustworthy outlets at once, not by a single page you have never heard of.

What actually protects you

Once you have spotted those signs, handling one of these posts well comes down to a few straightforward habits:

• Don’t share it.
• Don’t click any links in the post.
• Verify the news by going directly to a source you already trust.
• Report the post to the platform.
• Run a scan on your device if you have already clicked through.

If you use a security product such as Norton 360 day to day, it can flag a dodgy website as suspicious even when your emotions have already led you there.

Fake obituaries work because they draw on a genuine human impulse, the wish to share sad news and mark a passing with respect, and scammers rely on us acting on it before we examine it. The more strongly a piece of news pulls at your emotions, the more it is worth a second look. Ten good seconds spent checking is usually all it takes to avoid passing the lie along. When something moves you, that is the moment to stop.

GUILIN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2026 – Known worldwide for its dramatic karst landscapes, Guilin has long been one of southern China’s most iconic travel destinations. As travelers increasingly seek deeper connections with local communities, rural Guilin offers a different way to experience the countryside. Here, visitors are not simply observers of the landscape — they become part of it, walking through rice terraces, cycling along rivers, tasting local cuisine, and discovering traditions that have evolved alongside nature for generations.

In the latest season of Village Voyage, CGTN host Julian Waghann from the United States and Filipino traveler Eliza Arce journey into Longsheng and Yangshuo, exploring how the mountains, rivers and people of Guilin continue to inspire a unique rural lifestyle.

Terraces shaped by generations of farming wisdom

Rising high in the mountains of Guangxi, the Longji Rice Terraces are far more than a spectacular agricultural landscape. Carved into the hillsides over centuries by generations of local communities, they embody a remarkable balance between human ingenuity and the natural world.

For local villager Liao Yanmei, the terraces are inseparable from everyday life. “They mean everything to us,” she says. “They’re our life.” Today, she is leading efforts to restore and preserve the ancient terraces, ensuring this living heritage continues to thrive for generations to come.

Julian and Eliza arrive during the Shuyang Festival, one of Longsheng’s most important annual farming celebrations. Walking along the narrow paths between the fields, they join villagers in the traditional seedling-throwing ritual and carry torches through the illuminated terraces as night falls.

For Eliza, the landscape evokes memories of the Banaue Rice Terraces in her native Philippines. “They’re in the northern part of the country,” she says. “They were also carved into the mountains by local communities. I was amazed by how closely our rice terrace cultures mirror each other. It made me realize we share deeper roots. And, in that moment, I truly felt at home.”

Through these encounters, Julian and Eliza discover that the Shuyang Festival no longer marks only the beginning of the farming season. It has also become an immersive cultural experience, inviting visitors to step into the rhythms of rural life and discover a new way of experiencing China’s countryside.

The secret behind the world’s long hair village

Deep within the Longji Rice Terraces lies Huangluo Yao Village, home to the Red Yao people and renowned for its centuries-old long hair tradition. For generations, Red Yao women have cared for their famously long, glossy hair using fermented rice water, a natural hair treatment passed down from one generation to the next.

“Long hair, in Red Yao culture, symbolizes longevity and prosperity,” said local cultural ambassador Haili. “We believe that healthy hair reflects a healthy body, bringing both long life and good fortune.”

Drawing on generations of ecological knowledge, the Red Yao have long used rice water together with locally grown herbs to create a natural hair-care recipe. Rooted in the surrounding landscape, the tradition reflects a sustainable way of living that values natural resources and respects the rhythms of the environment.

Beyond their long hair tradition, the Red Yao are equally renowned for their exquisite costume craftsmanship. According to master artisan Pan Jifeng, completing a single traditional outfit can take an entire year. Weaving, batik, natural dyeing, and intricate embroidery come together in garments whose patterns are inspired by the mountains, animals, and everyday life, preserving generations of cultural memory.

Beyond the landscape: A new way to experience rural Guilin

While Guilin has long attracted visitors with its iconic scenery, a new generation of travelers is discovering the region through more immersive experiences.

In Yangshuo, the mountains and rivers have become a playground for outdoor exploration. Cycling through countryside paths, hiking among karst peaks, drifting along rivers on bamboo rafts, and experiencing cliffside adventures offer visitors a chance to engage with the landscape rather than simply admire it.

Supported by convenient transportation, diverse outdoor activities and growing tourism facilities, Yangshuo is emerging as an international destination where nature, culture and local life come together.

More than a journey: Villages connected by nature and culture

Every village tells its own story.

Some are written in the mountains, others in the rivers. Some live on through songs and festivals, while others survive through everyday traditions passed from one generation to the next.

From the rice terraces to the Karst landscapes, Guilin shows how rural communities continue to grow from the landscapes that shaped them — welcoming new visitors while keeping their own stories alive.

BINZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2026 – On July 19, Shandong’s Befar Group achieved a technological breakthrough in four key areas of process, engineering, testing, and filling to bring its high-purity hydrogen fluoride (HF) for semiconductor applications to the 6N grade (99.9999%). This milestone fills a production gap for high-purity hydrogen fluoride in Shandong Province.

High-purity hydrogen fluoride is a key raw material used in semiconductor chip etching and cleaning processes, often referred to as the “chemical scalpel” of semiconductor manufacturing. The 6N-grade product is an essential material for advanced process nodes of 28 nanometers and below. For years, core production technologies for this grade have been mainly provided by overseas companies, with domestic supply heavily reliant on imports.

Befar Group overcame key technical hurdles, including multi-stage distillation coupling, selection of low-precipitation equipment materials, cylinder cleanliness and protection, and precise detection of trace impurities. The company maintains key metal-ion impurity levels below 1 part per billion (ppb), solving the problem of secondary contamination throughout the entire production, storage, and transportation chain. To date, the company has completed the construction and commissioning of a 50-ton-per-year high-purity hydrogen fluoride cylinder filling line. Having obtained the cylinder filling license from the Shandong Special Equipment Inspection Institute, the company has begun introducing its products to major customers at home and abroad. This marks a complete closed loop from laboratory R&D to industrial-scale production.

Thanks to its mass production capabilities, Befar Group will continue to deepen its expertise in high-end specialty gas technologies, expand its product portfolio of halogen-based electronic specialty gases, and develop electronic-grade hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, and other series products. By increasing locally supplied capacity, the company aims to ensure the secure and stable operation of the semiconductor industry chain.

“Importantly for Paladin’s long-term future growth, we received formal acknowledgement from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission of achievement of sufficiency status, another significant milestone in developing the PLS Project. This achievement, together with an agreed administrative protocol, activates a regulatory timeframe and processes for obtaining our licence to commence construction.

“While continuing to progress the approvals, engineering and Indigenous agreement pathways for the PLS Project, we know that shareholders will be delighted to see the continuing prospectivity of our landholdings in the Athabasca Region. Our new discovery at Atlas, located on the Saloon Trend that runs broadly parallel to our Triple R deposit, has demonstrated that there are significant opportunities for Paladin to increase the development potential at the PLS Project.”

Paul Hemburrow
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Langer Heinrich Mine (Namibia)

Operations

The ramp-up to full mining and processing plant operations was successfully completed in the quarter, marking a significant milestone in the progression of LHM. The full mining fleet is now operational with mining activities established and positioned to support FY2027 production objectives.

Total mined material was 7.45Mt for the quarter, a 21% uplift from the previous quarter and the highest quarterly mining rate achieved since the restart, reflecting the full mining fleet in operation. The increase in material mined was in line with the planned mining sequence which focused on waste stripping and stockpiling of lower grade ore to access higher grade ore for processing.

Crusher throughput was 1.19Mt at an average ore feed grade of 488ppm. LHM produced 1.23Mlb U₃O₈ at an average recovery rate of 90% for the quarter, driven by consistent processing plant performance. For the full year, LHM produced 4.82Mlb U₃O₈ at the upper-end of the guidance range.

The cost of production for the quarter was US$51.6/lb, reflecting the transition to full mining activities, depletion of the previously mined MG3 stockpile and lower grade during the quarter as mining activities commenced in the J pit. Cost of production for the financial year was US$43.3/lb, at the lower end of the guidance range.

There were no supply disruptions for the quarter stemming from the conflict in the Middle East. The team continues to monitor stock levels of operating inputs and inbound shipments regularly.

Sales and Marketing

During the quarter, LHM sold 1.35Mlb U₃O₈ at an average realised price of US$70.6/lb. FY2026 sales totalled 4.35Mlb U₃O₈ exceeding the upper-end of the FY2026 guidance.

As at 30 June 2026, Paladin had 400,000lb U₃O₈ outstanding under its uranium product loan facilities, having repaid 50,000lb U₃O₈ during the quarter. These facilities provide flexibility on sales logistics, enabling the timely fulfilment of customer delivery commitments.¹⁰

Quarterly sales and average realised prices are dependent on the mix of contract pricing mechanisms, payment terms and the timing of deliveries, which vary based on customer nominations from quarter to quarter as well as shipping schedules.

Resource Definition

A total of 20,608m of resource drilling was completed during the quarter, utilising six drill rigs within ML140.

Patterson Lake South Project (Canada)

Development and Permitting

During the quarter, Paladin received a formal notification from the CNSC determining that the Licence to Prepare Site for and to Construct (Construction Licence) application for the PLS Project has achieved ‘sufficiency’ status.

Sufficiency represents an important step in the CNSC licencing process as it formally establishes that Paladin’s submission meets the required level of completeness and technical detail, enabling the application to advance into the regulatory assessment phase under the Uranium Mines and Mills Regulations. It triggers a comprehensive review process and represents a critical de-risking step in the permitting pathway.

Subsequent to the quarter end, Paladin signed an Administrative Protocol with the CNSC jointly recognising the importance of the project schedule and scope of activities required for Paladin Canada to obtain a Construction Licence for the PLS Project.

The Administrative Protocol represents a significant step forward in the PLS Project permitting process. It establishes a targeted but non-binding regulatory pathway aimed at completing hearings for the Construction Licence application at the end of 2027 calendar year 2027.

In April 2026, Paladin Canada entered into a binding term sheet with the Birch Narrows Dene Nation. The term sheet sets out the key terms and conditions upon which the parties will negotiate the full form Mutual Benefits Agreement in respect of the PLS Project. 

The Company continues to actively engage with local communities and Indigenous Peoples to build respectful relationships that foster sustainable benefits.

The Paladin Canada team continued to de-risk the PLS Project through ongoing update of the Front-End Engineering Design study during the quarter.

Exploration⁷

The Company successfully completed its 2026 winter drilling program at the PLS Project during the quarter with the discovery of a new high-grade body of uranium mineralisation intersected 3.5km south of the Triple R deposit and 4.5km southwest of Saloon East, the Atlas discovery. This prospective area is within the Saloon Trend which runs broadly parallel to the structural trend that hosts the Triple R deposit. Eight exploration drillholes were collared, with seven intersecting significant uranium mineralisation at the new Atlas discovery, totalling 2,408m with the discovery remaining open along strike and at depth.

Key winter 2026 intercepts at Atlas include:

• PLS26-708B (discovery drillhole): 17.5m of total composite uranium mineralisation across three intervals, the largest being 8.0m averaging 1.75% U₃O₈, including 3.0m averaging 4.25% U₃O₈ from 190.0m to 193.0m
• PLS26-718: 21.5m of total composite uranium mineralisation across two intervals, the largest being 14.5m averaging 1.70% U₃O₈, including 5.5m averaging 2.86% U₃O₈ from 194.5m to 200.0m
• PLS26-722: 30.0m of total composite uranium mineralisation across seven intervals, the largest being 11.0m averaging 1.79% U₃O₈, including 5.0m averaging 2.94% U₃O₈ from 194.5m to 199.5m¹⁷

The 2026 winter drilling program also targeted resource conversion and extension drilling at the Triple R deposit and further drilling on the Saloon Trend, along with regional exploration. All currently identified trend targets (including Atlas) are land-based, allowing drilling activities to continue uninterrupted throughout the summer months. A total of 13,060m drilling was completed in the quarter.

Michelin Project (Canada)

There were no substantive mining exploration activities completed during the quarter. Desktop geological studies, prospectivity reviews, and target generation work continued, with the 2026 summer drill program being finalised during the reporting period.

Other Activities

Cash and Debt

As at 30 June 2026, the Company held unrestricted cash and investments of US$265M. The Company had an outstanding balance on the Term Loan Facility of US$32M and an undrawn US$70M Revolving Credit Facility at the end of the quarter.

Class Action Update

There are no material updates in relation to the shareholder class action proceedings being defended by Paladin in the Supreme Court of Victoria. The class action was brought on behalf of persons who acquired an interest in Paladin shares during the period between 27 June 2024 and 25 March 2025.

Non-IFRS Measures

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 results 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 period to period 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 is calculated as the total direct production expenditures incurred to produce U₃O₈ 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.

Cost of Production per pound = Cost of Production ÷ U₃O₈ pounds produced

The Cost of Production per pound is a unit cost measure that indicates the average production cost per pound of U₃O₈ produced. 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 per pound metric is calculated as the total direct production expenditures as defined above (in US dollars) incurred during the period, divided by the total 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 per pound 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 U₃O₈ in the period. All figures are in US$/lb U₃O₈. We provide this information in good faith to enhance understanding of our operations; however, the IFRS financial statements (particularly the Cost of Sales line in the Consolidated Income Statement) should be considered alongside this metric for a complete picture of our cost structure.

“I was already besotted by birds – we’d have regular club camps out at Te Kauri Lodge between Otorohanga and Kawhia,” he recalls.

“I got up very early one morning and heard this wonderful mournful bird song – it was kōkako.”

He remembers young naturalists and their guides scrambling from their tents, and racing across a slippery log to catch a glimpse of a pair of the secretive birds – “and it absolutely hooked me into conservation”, he says.

Alan is now 73, and will join dozens of conservationists – including other pioneers he worked alongside in protecting kōkako – for the biennial Kōkako Recovery Group Hui in Rotorua this week. The hui will be hosted by the Department of Conservation.

From that boyhood encounter, Alan went on to join the Wildlife Service as a trainee, and later DOC, helping lead work to bring the kōkako back from near extinction as habitat loss and predation took their toll on the birds. He spent about 27 years with the two organisations and was involved in production of one of DOC’s first species protection plans – for kōkako.

He says kōkako became a prominent and symbolic species for conservation, particularly around the central North Island in places like Pureora. The birds’ survival became a focal point for successful efforts to eventually cease logging and protect the forest habitat.

As a result of these efforts and ongoing predator control, kōkako are still found in Pureora today.

Alan had several different roles with DOC, in various places, but he retained his connection to kōkako protection throughout.

“We knew more about kōkako than most other animals we were forced to manage – because they were endangered,” he says.

“They’re a bit of a survivor, when other birds haven’t. Some of the most dramatic responses we’ve seen, in terms of species recovery, are in relation to landscape-scale goals for kōkako. They’re doing really well now.”

Alan’s delighted by growing kōkako populations around the country – including on Mt Pirongia, near where he lives and remains active in conservation – and says it “makes my heart fly” to see the birds starting to flourish at numerous sites.

He credits community groups as the “beating heart” of kōkako protection around the country, and says he’s looking forward to reconnecting with other pioneers of kōkako protection and emphasises “it wasn’t just me”.

DOC’s Kōkako Recovery Group Lead Rhys Burns says as well as an opportunity for people to catch up, this year’s hui will also cover a range of topics connected to kōkako protection.

These will include new research, translocations and best practice for managing the birds, kōkako protection efforts by the many community groups involved – and tools to control predators, such as highly successful cyclical aerial1080 operations in areas with known kōkako populations.

“We estimate about 100 people will attend – including many of the veterans like Alan, who forged the path we’re on to protect these birds,” says Rhys.

As part of its Always Be Naturing campaign, DOC is encouraging people to take small actions for nature – and that could include getting involved in a community group working to protect kōkako, says Rhys.

There are 30 kōkako populations mainly scattered over the upper North Island, so if you are interested in volunteering or contributing to these groups, contact your local DOC office for more information.

JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 July 2026 –VinFast announced the opening of 20 official e-motorcycle dealerships across Indonesia in July 2026, marking a major milestone in its strategy to expand its distribution network in Southeast Asia’s largest motorcycle market. To celebrate the launch, VinFast hosted a large-scale product experience event featuring the VinFast Evo, VinFast Feliz II, and VinFast Viper, offering consumers the opportunity to experience the Company’s smart e-motorcycles and comprehensive green mobility ecosystem firsthand.

The expansion follows strong customer response to VinFast’s Early Booking Program, which has attracted thousands of deposits across Indonesia.

Dealerships will provide a full range of services, including vehicle sales, product consultation, after-sales support, and customer care in accordance with VinFast’s global standards. In addition to showcasing and selling VinFast E-motorcycles, the dealerships will offer customers opportunities to test ride the vehicles, experience the battery swapping solution and home charging options, and learn more about VinFast’s attractive ownership policies.

The event welcomed customers, media representatives, KOLs, business partners, and electric mobility enthusiasts to explore VinFast’s e-motorcycle lineup and green mobility ecosystem.

In addition to the product showcase, the event featured dedicated test ride sessions, battery swapping demonstrations, safe riding challenges, interactive games, and opportunities to engage directly with VinFast’s product specialists.

Ms. Vo Thi Cam Tu, Managing Director of VinFast E-scooter Overseas Market, said: “VinFast’s strategy goes beyond introducing high-quality electric vehicles. Our vision is to build a complete ecosystem that makes owning and using electric vehicles more convenient than ever. The launch of 20 dealerships across Indonesia, together with our battery swapping, charging, and after-sales service network, represents another important step toward realizing that vision. We hope more Indonesian consumers will choose E-motorcycles as a smart, economical, and sustainable mobility solution.”

The three e-motorcycle models introduced by VinFast in Indonesia are designed to meet the needs of different customer segments while sharing the company’s advanced technology platform and innovative battery swapping ecosystem.

The VinFast Viper features a sporty design tailored to young, tech-savvy riders. Meanwhile, the VinFast Feliz II and VinFast Evo build upon the proven strengths of their predecessors in Vietnam while incorporating refinements to better suit the needs and preferences of Indonesian consumers.

All three models are equipped with a 5,200W BLDC in-wheel motor. The VinFast Viper and VinFast Feliz II offer a top speed of 90 km/h, while the VinFast Evo reaches 80 km/h. Each motorcycle is designed with dual battery compartments under the seat, allowing the simultaneous use of two 1.5 kWh LFP batteries.

With two fully-charged batteries installed, the VinFast Evo delivers a riding range of up to 150 km, while the VinFast Viper and VinFast Feliz II can travel up to 145 km under standard testing conditions, making them well-suited for both daily commuting and longer urban journeys.

Customers can choose to purchase their motorcycles with batteries included or opt for a battery subscription plan. In addition to battery swapping, the motorcycles can also be conveniently charged at home.

As a special launch benefit, all VinFast E-motorcycle owners will enjoy free battery swapping at V-Green’s public battery swapping stations for one year, with a maximum of 20 battery swaps per motorcycle per month. The motorcycles are also backed by a warranty of up to 4+2 years or 60,000+12,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, helping reduce ownership costs while enhancing convenience and peace of mind.

The simultaneous opening of 20 e-motorcycle dealerships further demonstrates VinFast’s long-term commitment to the Indonesian market. By expanding its retail network, diversifying its product portfolio, and investing in energy infrastructure, VinFast is steadily building a comprehensive green mobility ecosystem that will help accelerate the country’s transition toward sustainable transportation in one of the world’s largest motorcycle markets.
