CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IperionX Limited (IperionX) (NASDAQ: IPX, ASX: IPX), is pleased to release its plans to accelerate U.S. titanium buildout and deliver the largest scale and lowest unit-cost production:

Commercial scalability validated by higher titanium production capacity and lower unit costs

  • Nameplate titanium powder capacity increased by 60% to 200 metric tons per year (tpa), driven by operational and technology process improvements with no additional capex
  • Projected titanium powder unit costs fall to ~US$55/kg at full utilization (from prior estimate of US$75/kg)
  • Structured process innovation and improvement program in execution, targeting additional titanium capacity in 2026
  • Titanium manufacturing sales expected to scale progressively, with a positive EBITDA inflection point by year- end 2026
  • The successful commissioning and increased capacity confirm the scalability of the HAMRTM and HSPTTM technologies to industrial scale, providing a platform to revolutionize the titanium industry

U.S. DoD backed expansion by mid-2027 has commenced, to become the largest volume & lowest cost U.S. producer

  • Accelerated 7x expansion in titanium production capacity to 1,400 tpa, positioning IperionX to be the largest volume and lowest-cost American titanium powder producer, targeting titanium powder unit cost of ~US$29/kg at full utilization
  • Low-capital intensity, with expansion capital of ~US$75m, including contingency, funded by U.S. DoD award of US$47.1m, existing cash of $101mi, and prospective DoD SBIR Phase III task orders of $99m
  • Parallel rapid scaling of advanced titanium manufacturing capacity – powder metallurgy, forging, and additive systems to deliver integrated titanium supply chain capabilities

Accelerated growth targets global market and cost leadership in high-performance titanium components

  • Roadmap to scale titanium capacity in high-performance titanium components, targeting cost competitiveness with stainless steel and aluminum
  • IperionX aims for global leadership in advanced manufacturing of high-performance titanium components of +10,000 tpa by 2030
  • Technology-driven cost advantage – the patented titanium HAMR and HSPT technologies significantly increase manufacturing yields, while cutting process steps, energy and capex intensity, for long-term cost advantage
  • Scale resets the titanium cost curve – the modular process technologies scale efficiently to deliver unit-cost leadership and push the titanium cost curve structurally lower

Anastasios (Taso) Arima, IperionX CEO said:

“Our technology and process improvements at our Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus have lifted nameplate titanium powder capacity to 200 tpa – and laid the groundwork for a seven-fold scale-up in titanium production to 1,400 tpa in 2027. In parallel, we’re rapidly scaling our powder metallurgy, HSPT forging and additive systems to manufacture high-performance American-made titanium components.

With a leading patented technology portfolio, we’re engineering a step-change reduction in the cost of manufacturing titanium components and building a fully integrated U.S. titanium supply chain that can serve our defense, aerospace, automotive and consumer electronics customers.”

JIAXING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2025 – On the evening of August 28, 2025, the Berlin Women’s Choir from Germany gave a concert at the Yanguan Theatre, conducted by renowned maestro Sabine Wuesthoff. This concert marked the ensemble’s debut performance in China.

More than twenty members of the choir performed entirely a cappella, featuring works from composers including Beethoven and Schumann. Their harmonious blend and crystal-clear tone demonstrated exceptional artistry. In the second half of the concert, the Berlin Women’s Choir joined hands with the Hangzhou Women’s Choir to perform the traditional Chinese folk song Jasmine Flower (Mo Li Hua), creating a gentle musical dialogue between East and West.

The Yanguan Theatre, located in the ancient city known as the “Tides and Music Resort,” has become a favored venue for international performances thanks to its refined acoustics and tranquil atmosphere. Prior to the concert, the choir also gave an impromptu, unadorned performance at Yanguan’s Imperial Wharf, without costumes or stage lighting, embodying the idea that “music belongs to everyone.”

Founded in 2015, the Berlin Women’s Choir has won multiple first prizes at German choral competitions and, in 2020, received the OPUS KLASSIK award for classical music. Conductor Sabine Wuesthoff is a recipient of both the Mendelssohn Medal and the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Today, Yanguan has become a dynamic artistic arena where strings, piano, percussion, vocals, and traditional instruments such as the guzheng and dizi converge. It continues to witness the growth and fusion of local and international, traditional and contemporary music, allowing the world to hear ever more resonant artistic echoes from this historic place.

Headlining the season is Taming the Dragon, the highly anticipated final instalment of the From Page to Stage® Three Kingdoms Trilogy. The season also features the bilingual Young Theatre Makers programme, comprehensive Creative Teaching & Learning professional development for educators, and the versatile free digital learning platform, digiAFTEC®.

The 2025/26 programme suite encompasses four distinct offerings designed to foster creativity, critical thinking, and cultural appreciation among primary and secondary school students. From the flagship From Page to Stage® theatre production to cutting-edge digital learning platform, these programmes address the evolving needs of 21st-century education while aligning with the Education Bureau’s learning goals.

From Page to Stage®: Taming the Dragon

The season’s flagship production, Taming the Dragon, will premiere in March 2026 at AFTEC’s venue partner, the Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre Theatre. Adapted and directed by AFTEC’s Artistic Director, Dr Vicki Ooi, this English-language production with bilingual surtitles brings the legendary saga to a thrilling conclusion. The story picks up with Liu Bei on his deathbed, the fate of the Shu-Han kingdom resting on Zhuge Liang’s final, decisive campaign against his lifelong rival, Sima Yi. This production culminates the exploration of loyalty, brotherhood, and resilience that has defined the trilogy.

Directed by Dr Vicki Ooi, this gripping adaptation explores themes of loyalty, bonding, and leadership through the legendary strategic duel between two of history’s greatest military minds. The production features professional actors, live music, and bilingual surtitles, making classical Chinese literature accessible to contemporary and international audiences.

Reflecting on the trilogy, Dr Vicki Ooi stated, “Bringing the full arc of this epic to the stage has been a remarkable journey. With Taming the Dragon, we are not just concluding a story; we are reaffirming the power of classic literature to speak to new generations. These tales of strategy, loyalty, and human determination are timeless. Our goal with From Page to Stage® has always been to ignite a passion for the arts and literature by creating theatre that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant for students.”

Since its inception in 2009, From Page to Stage® has engaged over 130,000 secondary school students and teachers, establishing itself as one of Hong Kong’s longest-running English-language theatre-in-education programmes. The 2025/26 season offers comprehensive learning experiences including pre-show materials, interactive workshops, and post-show activities designed to deepen students’ understanding of literature and performing arts.

Transforming Classrooms into Creative Studios

Beyond the main stage production, AFTEC’s 2025/26 season continues to offer a comprehensive suite of programmes designed to embed creativity in schools:

  • Young Theatre Makers: This bilingual drama programme empowers secondary students to explore contemporary and coming of age themes like identity, social media, and family through a curated collection of 14 original plays from local and international playwrights. The programme fosters critical thinking and self-expression through in-school training and a final showcase and discussion.

These interactive sessions provide teachers with practical strategies and tools to integrate creative, arts-based, and object-based learning into their classrooms.

It includes interactive modules such as Serendip to cultivate creative thinking, Walking the Amazon to explore physical theatre and resilience, and A Young Person’s Guide to the Theatre to demystify the world of stage production.

“Our 2025/26 season embodies our belief in a holistic approach that connects arts with education,” said Ms Lynn Yau, Chief Executive Officer, AFTEC. “By combining the excitement of a cultural bridge like Taming the Dragon with a discussion and thinking platform like Young Theatre Makers, all-round teachers’ training and accessible digital resources on digiAFTEC®, we provide multiple pathways to engage with the arts.

Gang Conflict Warrant extended across Manawatū

A Gang Conflict Warrant has been extended to cover the entire Manawatū area, as Police broaden their focus on dangerous gang activity.

It follows several firearms incidents in Levin, which led to the initial Gang Conflict Warrant being issued on 21 August, and two separate events in Palmerston North on Sunday and Monday morning this week, where Police were shot at while trying to stop suspicious vehicles.

Superintendent Dion Bennett, Central District Commander, said Police applied to the district court on Monday, asking it to broaden the coverage of the Gang Conflict Warrant that had been issued for Levin. The application was granted the same day.

“We’re still working to establish what, if any, links there are between the Palmerston North and Levin incidents, but it appears the message hasn’t sunk in for the gangs yet.

“No police officer expects to come to work and be shot at as part of their daily routine, and our communities don’t want this stupidly reckless behaviour either.”

Gang Conflict Warrants are temporary orders that broaden Police’s power under the Criminal Activity Intervention Legislation Act, giving Police special powers to search vehicles and occupants of vehicles of suspected gang members, and to seize firearms and weapons, and vehicles.

The Nomads and Mongrel Mob are the focus of the Police operation, with tensions between both gangs and gang members.

“By extending the footprint of the warrant, we’re able to reach gang members across the district, including those who left Levin since 21 August to avoid the attention,” Superintendent Bennett said.

The warrant extends to from Levin to Feilding, across to Dannyvirke, and south to Eketāhuna.

“We remain open to mediating between these gangs, but their actions are a risk to the community, a risk to our Police, and we’re not going to sit idly by while this dangerous activity plays out.”

The enhanced collaboration will focus on cloud-based enterprise operations, AI-driven business innovations, and e-commerce expansion.

“Our partnership opens up exciting opportunities for both Bosch and Alibaba to expand our offerings in the global market,” said Dr. Tanja Rückert, member of the Bosch board of management and Chief Digital Officer. “By joining forces, we combine Alibaba’s advanced cloud infrastructure, AI capabilities and e-commerce market reach with Bosch’s deep technological expertise in mobility, industrial technology and consumer goods to drive greater efficiency and innovation worldwide.

Joint efforts across marketing, sales, membership programs and online-to-offline services have significantly strengthened Bosch’s digital ecosystem and customer engagement in China.
