The Cadia intrusive system complex has a ~5.7km footprint, seven deposits within it, with regional geophysics able to identify key structures and geological units. What we are seeking to confirm in our first phase of drilling at Nyngan is the potential for multiple new Macquarie Arc intrusive system complexes that have similar multi-kilometre alteration zones and multiple deposit potential. The initial results from the Fleet Space surveys, coupled with existing regional geophysics, are positive providing a more detailed and refined geophysical model for an existing a high priority and large-scale target that is about to be drilled within the Ace of Spades region. The Ace of Spades is a very compelling new district scale opportunity, potentially the largest volcano-intrusive complex of the Macquarie Arc and has never been drilled.We are now in a very exciting period with the 6 to 8-hole program commenced. This program will drill a range of large-scale and separate intrusive system targets, focused on the Ace of Spades, within an existing pipeline of 16 targets that are permitted for drilling within the northern portion of the Nyngan Project."Background Fleet Space's real-time Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and ground gravity surveys, enabled by their end-to-end mineral exploration solution, Exosphere, are the first integrated surveys completed by Fleet Space and seek to apply cutting-edge technology to generate and interpret new homogeneous, primary datasets with existing regional geophysical surveys and geological data.The surveys have confirmed and refined a regionally significant priority drill target previously and separately identified by Kincora, AngloGold Ashanti and Fleet Space within the northern "Ace of Spades" region of the Nyngan Project. Existing regional geophysics strongly indicates that the Nyngan Project potentially hosts the largest volcano-intrusive complex of the Macquarie Arc offering new district scale potential situated in the northern under cover extension of the Arc - see Figure 1.It is well documented that the composite volcanic and intrusive complexes elsewhere in the Macquarie Arc, which hosts an estimated total mineral endowment of over 160Moz gold equivalent 3, have large alteration and geochemical halos that are often identifiable from regional geophysical surveys. For example the magmatic and alteration footprints at Cadia have a ~5.7km wide footprint, hosting two skarn and five porphyry deposits with a metal endowment of more than 50Moz gold and more than 9.5Mt copper 3, and regional geophysics is able to identify key structures and geological units (see Figure 2 for an illustration). Similar large geophysical features are present at the Nyngan Project and the survey area. Furthermore, the mineralised deposits in the Arc (including Cadia) and other globally significant porphyry districts generally occur in clusters situated on cross-arc structures. Similar structures have been identified by the Fleet Space surveys inline with existing regional geophysics - see Figures 1-3.Two existing 2024 field season Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti drill targets were covered by the Fleet Space surveys and are to be very shortly drill tested as part of the first ever copper-gold focused drilling program within the Ace of Spades. A 6 to 8-hole for an estimated 4000-5000m program has commenced and is scheduled before the end of year with earn-in partner AngloGold Ashanti within an existing pipeline of 16 targets that are permitted for drilling within the northern portion of the Nyngan Project.Confirmed and Refined High Priority Target at the Ace of SpadesThe Fleet Space multiphysics surveys have combined proprietary ground exploration techniques that minimise environmental impact by utilising seismic noise derived from natural and anthropogenic sources (two ANT surveys complete), with new gravity (two ground gravity surveys complete) and existing public access regional airborne magnetics and gravity.Intergration of these datasets have sought to:(i) identify and refine targeting of new composite volcanic and intrusive complexes,(ii) map the depth to basement,(iii) refine key structural features, and,(iv) identify changes in velocity and density that may reflect different lithological units.The regional ANT survey covered an area of approximately 35km2 with a tighter spaced infill and ground gravity survey area of approximately 9km2. Similar to other Fleet Space surveys in the district, the ANT velocity model provides a depth profile to approximately 2500m and 1000m in the infill survey.This marks the first time a Fleet Space real-time ANT survey has been accompanied by an integrated and coincident ground gravity survey to deliver complimentary nearer surface density models.The initial interpretation of the Nyngan multiphysics results have confirmed and refined an existing high priority drill target with several features of interest at both a regional and infill survey level having potential implications for future exploration.(i) Regional ANT survey results highlights:Multiple deep-seated structures consistent with existing magnetics and gravity features, refining interpreted potential cross-arc structures and separate target domains that may have influenced the emplacement of intrusions.Supported the potential for multiple volcanic and intrusive complexes.Average depth to basement of ~360m across the survey area.Identified a number of potential new areas of interest with low seismic velocity zones in the basement sequence (interpreted to potentially be related to hydrothermal alteration), near edges and/or above high seismic velocity bodies (interpreted to potentially be related to large intrusions at depth).(ii) Infill ANT and gravity survey highlights:Higher resolution of interpreted structures, with velocity and density models refining potential lithological domains, structures and cross-arc structures.Supported the potential for multiple intrusive stocks and additional drill hole targets.Confirms and refines an existing high priority drill target with the originally proposed drill hole collar moved ~400m.Imminent drilling will test a large scale target off the shoulder of a pronounced density and magnetic anomaly associated with a potential cross-arc structure and into a low-intermediate seismic velocity zone (interpreted to potentially be related to hydrothermal alteration and/or mineralisation) that lies above a high seismic velocity anomaly at depth (interpreted to potentially relate to a Macquarie Arc intrusion) - see Figure 3.The commenced drilling program is expected to provide enhanced geological understanding of the geophysical models resulting from the Fleet Space multiphysics surveys. Such learnings are expected to assist Kincora with future exploration and drill hole targeting at both the Nyngan Project, the recently expanded partnership with Fleet Space for the Wongarbon Project and the Company's existing pipeline of eleven other porphyry projects in the Macquarie Arc.New Potential Drill Targets At the Ace of SpadesCurrently Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti have an existing pipeline of 16 targets that are permitted for drilling within the northern portion of the Nyngan Project - see Figure 2. Two of these proposed for drilling before year-end are included in the Fleet Space survey area with a further two permitted covered by the regional ANT.Similar to other project level ANT surveys recently undertaken by Fleet Space in the Macquarie Arc at Waratah Minerals Limited's Spur Project ("Waratah", WTM.ASX) 4 and Inflection Resource's Duck Creek Project ("Inflection", AUCU.CSE) 5,6, a number of additional areas of potential interest for new large intrusive porphyry systems and potential drill targets have been identified in the Ace of Spades region.Inflection has been using Fleet Space ANT survey results, coupled with existing regional geophysics, as a key exploration tool in its drill hole targeting at Duck Creek.Results from down-hole geophysical surveying have reported zones of relatively high seismic/shear-wave velocity associated with competent intervals of monzodiorite, which supports the hypothesis that intrusions are likely to manifest in the ANT data as zones of elevated seismic velocity. Additionally, the surveying demonstrates localised areas of low seismic velocity associated with more intense hydrothermal alteration, which also supports the interpretation that low seismic velocities evident in the ANT survey can represent zone of hydrothermal alteration 7.The results of the multiphysics surveys at Nyngan will be reviewed in light of the commenced drilling program results in conjunction with AngloGold Ashanti and are expected to also assist with Fleet Space and Kincora's partnership for the Wongarbon Project.Further New District-Scale Opportunities Prospective early stage porphyry positions in the interpreted undercover extensions of the Macquarie Arc that offer new district scale potential have recently been the focus of five large earn-in and joint venture agreements supporting potentially over $300 million of exploration expenditure covering over 10,000km2. Most recently, only in August, Gold Field's re-entered the Macquarie Arc via a multiple phase, multiple project option agreement with a private explorer, Gold and Copper 8.Spatial and temporal settings, coupled with magnetics, gravity and ANT surveys, supports new district scale potential and that the largest sections of the Macquarie Arc may be located under post mineral cover.Kincora was an early entrant pursuing this strategy, securing a significant portion of the most prospective and shallow to moderate depth sections of this underexplored (often never drilled) sections of the Macquarie Arc.The Company is discussing further partnership opportunities with Fleet Space, amongst other groups, and notes the recent results of the Fleet Space and Inflection district scale ANT survey (>1800km2) which, when integrated with other existing datasets (including airborne magnetics and gravity), has resulted in four new priority targets, three of which commence within 2km's of Kincora's wider project portfolio (four if Duck Creek is included) in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) 6 - see Figure 1.Kincora has recently secured three new wholly owned licenses covering 1,377km2 (the Nyngan West, Nyngan South and Nevertire South Projects) providing a continuous landholding along >100km strike of the NJNB (see Figure 1) 9 with a recent extremely positive review of the new Nevertire South Project supporting what Kincora believes is the most attractive geologically supported target in the covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc 10.Coupled with the highly prospective Wongarbon Project11, located on the northern Molong Belt, Kincora is seeking to confirm multiple new district-scale and porphyry discovery potential. Figure 1: Multiple Fleet Space surveys, existing regional magnetics and gravity surveys, and limited drilling to date supports Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti's interpretation that the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt hosts the potential for multiple new composite volcanic and intrusive complexes with analogous aeromagnetic signatures and intrusive level cross arc structures to other Macquarie Arc porphyry complexes (eg Cadia, Cowal, Boda-Kaiser, Marsden etc)The Macquarie Arc is a proven Tier 1 terrane and Australia's foremost copper porphyry belt hosting a number of world-class mines in the southern, more exploration mature, of the Arc hosting over 160Moz gold equivalent endowment.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/227375_dafda03364be6bf7_001full.jpg Figure 2: Fleet Space's ANT and gravity surveys have refined a regionally significant priority drill target previously and separately identified by Kincora, AngloGold Ashanti and Fleet Space within the northern "Ace of Spades" region of the Nyngan Project. This target is to be very shortly drill tested as part of the first ever copper-gold focused drilling program within this region. As part of a permitted drill program for up to 16 holes, a 6 to 8-hole for an estimated 4000-5000m program is budgeted before year-end with earn-in partner AngloGold Ashanti.Kincora and Inflection's recent real-time Fleet Space ANT surveys have generated a number of new, previously unrecognised potential target areas that are currently being reviewed.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/227375_dafda03364be6bf7_002full.jpg Figure 3: Imminent drilling will test a large-scale target off the shoulder of a pronounced density and magnetic anomaly associated with a potential cross-arc structure and into a low-intermediate seismic velocity zone (interpreted to potentially be related to hydrothermal alteration and/or mineralisation) that lies above a high seismic velocity anomaly at depth (interpreted to potentially be an intrusion) - illustration sourced from Fleet Space's Exosphere.The Fleet Space surveys across the Macquarie Arc have identified and refined existing targets of new composite volcanic and intrusive complexes, mapped estimated depth to basement, refined key structural features (including cross-arc structures), and, identified changes in velocity and density that may reflect different lithological units.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/227375_dafda03364be6bf7_003full.jpgAbout the Nyngan ProjectThe Nyngan Project was the first ground Kincora secured in NSW 12 with regional geophysics strongly indicating the potential to hosts the largest volcano-intrusive complex of the Macquarie Arc (existing metal endowment of over 160Moz gold equivalent) and offering a new district-scale setting. Limited prior drilling activities have taken place, and are limited to the southern portion of the Project.In May 2024, Kincora signed a definitive multiple-phase Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement over the Nyngan and Nevertire licences with a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc (NYSE: AU; JSE: ANG), the world's fourth largest gold miner by production, which has a successful track record for Greenfields discovery success.AngloGold Ashanti has the right to spend up to A$50 million to earn an 80% interest through:A$25 million of exploration expenditure to earn a 70% joint venture interest (Phase I) including a minimum A$2 million expenditure obligation, with Kincora the initial operator for a 10% management fee.Completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) or funding of a further $25 million of expenditure to earn a 80% joint venture interest (Phase II) 13.The commenced drilling program is focused within the northern portion of the Nyngan Project and the "Ace of Spades" region testing a wide range of untested, large intrusive-related copper-gold targets. The program will comprise cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the post mineral cover sequence with diamond core drilling upon refusal and testing of the targeted basement. The program seeks to confirm the potential for a series of new Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes and provide vectors for follow up drilling.About Fleet Space Technologies Fleet Space is widely regarded as Australia's leading space company and is seeking to revolutionise mineral exploration with its vertically integrated technology sack, ExoSphere, which combines the latest advances in satellite connectivity, 3D multiphysics data acquisition, and AI to map mineral systems in real-time.Fleet Space's ExoSphere technology enables an end-to-end approach to high-quality data acquisition, processing, interpretation and targeting to streamline exploration and improve success rates for new economic discoveries.Leveraging Fleet Space's proprietary satellite network in low Earth orbit, smart seismic sensors enabled with edge computing and rapid data processing ExoSphere delivers real-time 3D mapping of mineral systems and AI-powered drill targeting with near-zero environmental impact.In the last quarter, Barrick Gold announced it would partner with Fleet Space to survey copper porphyry complexes across 1,150km² of the world-class Reko Diq project 14 and in the last month Gold Fields announced a similar relationship to advance exploration at the Salares Norte project in Chile 15.Recently, Inflection Resources' announced new targets generated by ExoSphere, leading AngloGold to accelerate their Exploration Agreement and drilling with Inflection 5. Inflection and Fleet Space have also recently announced the results of the world's largest real-time ANT survey across 1818km², built an AI-powered district scale copper prospectivity map which, when integrated with other existing datasets (including airborne magnetics and gravity), has resulted in four new priority targets, three of which are within 2km's of Kincora wider project portfolio in the northern Junee-Narromine Belt.In July 2024, Kincora formed an initial partnership to conduct the first ever integrated real-time ANT and ground gravity undertaken by Fleet Space within the "Ace of Spades" region at the Nyngan Project.In mid October 2024, Kincora expanded its partnership with Fleet Space to include: (i) a listed equity investment, (ii) multiphysics surveys at the Wongarbon Project to identify and refine targets, and, (iii) Fleet Space having the right to drill test targets to earn an asset level interest in the Wongarbon Project.ExoSphere's rapid global adoption has propelled Fleet Space's exponential growth, including a A$50 million Series C funding round, a doubling of its valuation to A$350 million, plans to send a variant of ExoSphere to the Moon in 2026, and recognition as Australia's fastest growing company by the Australian Financial Review (2023).For more information please visit Fleet Space's website at https://www.fleetspace.com.About Kincora Kincora Copper is dual listed on the ASX and TSX-V (ticker "KCC") and is an active explorer and project generator focused on world-class copper-gold discoveries that has recently executed five agreements that unlock over A$60 million in potential multiple year partner funding.

SINGAPORE, Oct 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OrangeTee & Tie (OrangeTee), Singapore's leading proptech agency, has officially completed a groundbreaking rebrand, marking the first major transformation of its brand identity since its founding in 2000. The striking new facade at its headquarters on 430 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh now bears the brand new OrangeTee logo, symbolising the company’s bold vision for the future. This rebranding exercise — unveiled in March 2024—signals not just a visual overhaul, but a complete evolution of the agency’s mission, led by CEO Justin Quek.Refreshed OrangeTee Senior Management Team (Front row from left to right: Justin Quek and Steven Tan; Back row from left to right: Christine Sun, Raymond Khoo, Ramesh Pillai, Jon Tan, and Elsie Low).

Photos by OrangeTee.With a renewed focus on innovation and social responsibility, OrangeTee is positioning itself as a force for good in the real estate industry. The agency is on a mission to empower clients and agents alike, helping consumers "find their place" through technology, transparency, and redefined roles for real estate agents. The phased rebranding began with a launch aimed at engaging agents during its annual business convention in April, followed by a high-profile consumer showcase at The Home Expo in September; culminating in a grand celebration at its annual gala in October 2024, which brought together internal stakeholders to mark this milestone in the company’s historical journey.Traditionally seen as mere facilitators of transactions, OrangeTee agents are now positioned as “trusted advisers” who offer a holistic approach to clients. This shift highlighted the company’s dedication to elevating the customer experience, providing expert insights beyond property listings and transaction services, and fostering lasting relationships built on expert knowledge, trust, and integrity.Said Mr Quek, “Our brand refresh represents more than just a visual change, it’s a reflection of our core mission to make real estate simpler, more accessible, and more empowering for all. This new brand identity underscores our unwavering commitment to helping everyone confidently find their place in their real estate journey. To double down on this, OrangeTee is the first and only agency in the industry to remunerate our advisers 100 per cent of the commission from new launches with effect immediately for the next nine months.”ELEVATING REAL ESTATE INSIGHTS AND AI TECHNOLOGYAlso in 2024, OrangeTee unveiled its new research hub during its annual business convention in April 2024. Offering comprehensive real estate insights through an intuitive interface with interactive infographics, animations, and themed reports. It is also updated regularly with market trends across market sectors like HDB, private residential, commercial, and industrial, to keep consumers well-informed.Complementing the Research Hub is the Market Analytics Suite (MAS), offering over 100 dashboards with advanced filtering options for targeted searches. With it being accessible to both advisers and consumers, the MAS breaks down complex data into user-friendly visuals, enhancing accessibility through tablet and mobile compatibility.Leveraging the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), the company is enhancing its technological integration with the development of AMOS (AI-enabled Mobile Operating System), a next-generation CRM system that not only engages consumers but also empowers its advisers. Once fully implemented, AMOS will optimise its communication channels with advisers and consumers across all digital touchpoints, streamlining workflows from initial contact to appointment scheduling—boosting the efficiency and effectiveness of its services.FORGING PARTNERSHIPS TO SUPPORT THE TEAMTo support OrangeTee advisers in their diverse real estate ventures, several strategic partnerships have already been forged in 2024. These collaborations are designed to equip advisers with cutting-edge tools, solutions, and innovative spaces–ranging from modern commercial offices to co-working environments–enabling them to better serve their clients.Partnerships with companies like Motorist and JustCo have introduced new value-added services for OrangeTee advisers. These alliances enable advisers to offer property clients alternative car-financing options through Motorist to navigate the total debt servicing ratio, while JustCo provides access to flexible co-working spaces, in anticipation of the growing trend of companies opting for modern work environments over traditional offices.In 2024, OrangeTee also broadened its partnerships by collaborating with iQuadrant (IQ), Crestbrick, and Century 21, enhancing the company’s overseas property listings and overall service offerings. By leveraging IQ’s expertise in overseas property investments and education, OrangeTee can tap into a wider array of properties in London, United Kingdom, while its agents benefit from IQ’s proven property investment strategies.This builds on their existing partnership with Tokyu Livable, Inc., one of Japan’s largest real estate services firms, which serves as a key equity partner and grants OrangeTee clients access to the Japanese real estate market. In addition, through its sister company, OrangeTee International, the agency is actively marketing overseas properties in Australia, Dubai, Malaysia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.In return, OrangeTee is extending its tech capabilities by offering a lite version of its AgentApp to its partners. By sharing technology, both parties would benefit, with partners gaining access to advanced tools that enhance efficiency, while OrangeTee expands its local agent network and strengthens industry collaboration.OrangeTee also offers a comprehensive agent-training roadmap to upskill its advisers across various property sectors. Through workshops, courses, and tech-driven learning, advisers can now stay ahead of market trends and regulations, ensuring they provide top-tier service and expertise for their clients.Added Mr Quek, “We believe that forging strong partnerships is the key to delivering innovative, holistic solutions to our clients. Through collaborations with industry leaders across various sectors, we can empower our advisers and provide greater value to their clients.”INSIGHTS GAINED AS PRESENTING SPONSOR OF THE HOME EXPO 2024The culmination of these efforts led to OrangeTee’s role as the presenting sponsor of The Home Expo 2024. The three-day event at Suntec Convention Centre in September saw over 12,000 attendees, 16 expert speakers, and more than $1.3 million invested in advertising, aiming to position OrangeTee as a thought leader in the real estate industry. The event also offered industry professionals a differentiated platform to engage with their clients and build leads with potential home seekers.During the home expo, OrangeTee also announced its support for the "Safe Havens, Bright Horizons" campaign by the Children’s Society of Singapore (CSS) to raise $100,000 for the revitalisation of Sunbeam Place, a residential home and a gazetted place of safety for the vulnerable children in Singapore under CSS, in collaboration with a local art gallery, LivingwithArt.Mr Quek also shared his thoughts on these partnerships established by the company, stating, “These initiatives allow us to push beyond the boundaries of traditional real estate services and foster more meaningful, impactful experiences for all members of society.”Looking forward, OrangeTee envisions a future where real estate transcends mere transactions, instead focusing on holistic, integrated solutions that cater to modern homebuyers' evolving needs.As OrangeTee continues to evolve as a force for good, the company is poised to shape the future of real estate, placing greater emphasis on customer-centric solutions and creating lasting value for clients and its advisers.Please find High-Resolution images here.For Media Queries, Please Contact:Amirul Asyraf: +65 8448 4824 // amirul@swstrategies.orgChua Sheng Rui: +65 9137 2102 // shengrui@swstrategies.orgAbout OrangeTee & TieFounded in February 2000, OrangeTee & Tie (OrangeTeeOTT) has firmly established itself as a highly esteemed proptech agency renowned for its innovative tech tools in Singapore.

SEOUL, S.KOREA, Oct 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - South Korean hospitality tech company HEROWORKS is set to enter the Singapore market by introducing its hotel revenue management solution, 'DatAmenity.'- HEROWORKS to Participate in 'TTA 2024', the Largest Tourism & Tech Expo in the Asia-Pacific Region- HEROWORKS to Supply its Hotel Revenue Management Solution 'DatAmenity' to the Singapore Market- Seeking Global Tourism Partners to Target the Asian Market with Localized SystemsHEROWORKS has been selected as a participating company for the Travel & Tech Expo organized by the Singapore Tourism Enterprises Support Center (KTSC). From the 23rd to the 25th of this month, HEROWORKS will attend 'Travel Tech Asia (TTA) 2024' and '2024 ITB-Asia' at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre in Singapore, seeking new business opportunities targeting the Asian hospitality tech market.With the aim of providing optimized solutions for the Singapore market, HEROWORKS will engage in networking and one-on-one investment meetings with key stakeholders, including venture capitalists, angel investors, and other investors. Through business consultations with these stakeholders, HEROWORKS plans to identify the specific needs of Singapore's tourism and hospitality industries and to localize the 'DatAmenity' technology by partnering with companies that can create synergistic effects.DatAmenity is the first service in Korea to develop and implement a Revenue Management System (RMS) for hotels, and currently holds Korea's number one market share. The solution collects and analyzes room data registered with Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), including pricing information and sales status, for all types of accommodations, such as hotels, motels, resorts, and pensions, assisting in optimally setting room sale prices.Unlike traditional hotel solutions, the DatAmenity solution is offered as a cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) model, allowing users to easily access and utilize the system anytime, anywhere. It currently serves approximately 500 accommodation facilities and has received significant positive feedback.Notably, DatAmenity has been recognized for its differentiated technological prowess in 'Comparing Room Sales by Room Type.' HEROWORKS identified the challenge that, despite having identical room configurations, differing room nomenclatures across hotels make accurate price comparisons difficult. In response, HEROWORKS developed a system allowing users (client companies) to set competitive hotels' room classifications by their hotel's room standards. This system, a proprietary technology exclusive to DatAmenity, has been proven innovative by acquiring a technology patent.HEROWORKS CEO Lee Chang-ju stated, "The demand for data-driven revenue management is increasing in Singapore's hospitality industry." He added, "Through participating in the TTA and ITB-Asia expos, we expect to accelerate our penetration into the Asian market by establishing partnerships with Singapore's tourism and tech companies."Meanwhile, HEROWORKS is a hospitality technology company specializing in developing automated systems for hotel revenue management. To address the gaps that existing hotel operational systems, such as Property Management Systems (PMS) and Channel Management Systems (CMS), cannot resolve, HEROWORKS has developed and operates a distinctive 'Hotel Revenue Management Solution.' Notably, the solution provides features that establish 'optimal room sale prices' and enable comprehensive viewing and management of 'hotel customer reviews,' contributing to enhanced hotel revenues.Social LinksYouTube: https://youtu.be/e1kOthMDeUo?feature=sharedBlog: https://blog.naver.com/datamenityMedia ContactBrand: HEROWORKSContact: Planning & Marketing TeamWebsite: https://www.heroworks.co.kr Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Oct 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - With the increasing global emphasis on sustainability, the Hong Kong government has introduced the 'Hong Kong's Climate Action Plan 2050'. To enhance the transparency of environmental governance and climate-related disclosure for listed companies, HKEX has also revised the "ESG Code" to be effective from 1 January 2025. Within this evolving framework, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors have emerged as pivotal foundations for business development. This is particularly evident in Hong Kong's construction industry, where numerous companies proactively champion these initiatives to demonstrate a steadfast commitment to a sustainable future.As a good model among Hong Kong listed companies in construction industry, Ching Lee Holding Limited (3728. HK) is advancing its ESG agenda through a variety of initiatives. Notably, Ching Lee participated in the "ESG Pledge Scheme" this year organised and recognised by The Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong. This initiative reinforces Ching Lee's leadership role in promoting ESG principles and highlights its proactive stance on sustainability.Employees' welfare and occupational health and safety are always the most important items on the ESG agenda. Ching Lee ensures preparedness on construction sites and conducts emergency drills regularly. This dedication reflects its responsible commitment and a profound respect for employee safety. Moreover, the company places a high value on enhancing employee skills. According to Ching Lee's annual report, the total training hours for employees reached an impressive 98.5 hours, with a training participation rate of approximately 60%. Employees are also integral participants in the ESG framework. Several companies have established training systems that align employee development closely with corporate sustainability objectives, thereby achieving a mutually beneficial outcome.In addition to prioritising occupational safety and skills training, Hong Kong companies support public welfare projects in education, healthcare, and culture, while encouraging employees to engage in community service. According to the annual report from Ching Lee Holdings, the company donated over HKD 1.5 million to various charitable organisations in the 2023-2024 financial year, with more than 60 employees actively participating in community service. Furthermore, Ching Lee commits to promoting green building technologies and mandates that all employees adhere rigorously to environmental standards throughout construction. For instance, the company advocates for using recyclable building materials and strives to minimise waste generation during construction activities in addition to energy-saving and emission-reduction measures.By implementing a comprehensive range of initiatives, Hong Kong companies enable their workforce to become active participants in ESG efforts. Ching Lee Holdings adeptly links corporate development with employee growth, illustrating that corporate social responsibility is not merely essential but constitutes a fundamental pillar of sustainable development.

Luxembourg, Oct 16, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Moolec Science SA (NASDAQ:MLEC) ("the Company"), a leader in Molecular Farming technology, announced today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's ("USDA") Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service ("APHIS") has completed its Regulatory Status Review ("RSR") for the Company's genetically engineered ("GE") peas which produce iron through bovine meat proteins. This is the third regulatory clearance from USDA-APHIS achieved by Moolec in an 18-month window, alongside its genetically engineered safflower and soybean for GLASO™ and Piggy Sooy™ products, respectively. Access the official USDA-APHIS publication here."With USDA approval for our GE pea, Moolec has now secured regulatory clearance for all of our key crops in the US: safflower, soybean, and pea," said Gastón Paladini, CEO and Co-Founder of Moolec. "We are proud to be the only Molecular Farming company with three US regulatory approvals and a major commercial contract. This milestone underscores our leadership in the landscape with tangible, science-backed results."Moolec's genetically engineered peas produce high yields of bovine myoglobin, a protein that boosts iron content, making it an ideal alternative for consumers seeking plant-based sources of iron. This product has the potential to revolutionize both the food ingredient market and the $65 billion pea industry by offering a nutritious, iron-rich alternative to traditional meat products.Amit Dhingra, Chief Science Officer for the Company, stated, "The USDA-APHIS Regulatory Status Review for pea marks a significant milestone for Moolec. As the first review for GE pea, it represents a historic development. It validates Moolec's strategic approach and exemplifies our commitment advancing sustainable food production through science and innovation. This approval is a critical step toward enhancing global food supply and meeting the growing demand for innovative, nutritious food solutions for the world."This approval not only showcases Moolec's innovation in Molecular Farming but also highlights the company's commitment to meeting the highest regulatory and safety standards. Moolec has also developed an Identity Preservation Program to ensure sustainable farming practices, promote stewardship for its crops and product quality for partners, clients and consumers alike.According to USDA-APHIS regulation found at 7 CFR part 340, developers may submit a request for a RSR when they believe a GE plant is not subject to the regulation. APHIS reviews the GE plant and considers whether it might pose an increased plant pest risk compared to its non-GE comparator. If APHIS does not identify a greater pest risk relative to the comparator, the GE plant is not subject to this regulation. Regulation 7 CFR part 340 governs the importation, interstate movement, and the environmental release of certain organisms that have been modified or produced by genetic engineering.The USDA-APHIS review process is a critical component of ensuring that genetically engineered crops can be grown safely, and this approval opens the floor for expanded field trials, seed scaling, and eventual commercialization. With increasing interest in science-based ingredients, this approval positions the company to lead a new wave of innovation in the food and agriculture sectors.About Moolec Science SAMoolec is a science-based ingredient company leader in the use of Molecular Farming technology for food and dietary supplementation markets. The Company's mission is to create unique food ingredients by engineering plants with animal protein genes. Its purpose is to redefine the way the world produces animal proteins for the good of the planet.

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Oct 18, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (the “Group” or “CMS”) is pleased to announce that on 18 October, the first batch of prescriptions of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (the “ruxolitinib cream” or the “Product”) for qualified vitiligo patients were issued in the Greater Bay Area, at Zhongshan Chen Xinghai Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital, and Dongguan Songshan Lake Tungwah Hospital. The Product’s new drug application (NDA) was approved by the Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau (ISAF) of Macau on 11 April 2024, and subsequently the Product was approved by the Guangdong Provincial Medical Products Administration on August 19 through the "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect" policy, which officially introduced ruxolitinib cream for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age, providing a novel treatment option for patients with relevant indication into designated medical institutions in the Mainland of Greater Bay Area.In addition, on 24 September, the NDA for vitiligo indication of ruxolitinib cream has been accepted by the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA). In accordance with the relevant regulations of the drug real-world data application pilot program in the Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (the “Pilot Zone”), CMS has conducted a real-world study on ruxolitinib cream in China. The results have shown positive efficacy, which is consistent with the key outcomes of global pivotal clinical studies. All secondary efficacy endpoints showed a trend of benefit consistent with the primary efficacy endpoint, and the treatment effect for vitiligo continued to improve with longer treatment duration. Meanwhile, through the safety monitoring data of the Pilot Zone, no new safety events have been identified. Adverse events mostly had severity levels of grade 1 or 2. No adverse event (AE) leading to discontinuation or withdrawal, and no serious adverse event (SAE) related to the study drug occurred.If the Product is successfully approved for marketing in Mainland China, it will be the first prescription drug approved by NMPA for repigmentation in vitiligo, bringing this novel treatment hopes for Chinese vitiligo patients.Furthermore, on 12 August 2023, the Product was approved by Hainan Medical Products Administration for Urgent Clinical Import, and officially became available to applicable patients in the Pilot Zone on August 18, for the topical treatment of non-segmental vitiligo in adults and adolescents aged 12 and above with facial involvement. Benefiting from the Early and Pilot Implementation Policy granted by the state to Hainan Free Trade Port and the Pilot Zone, patients with vitiligo in China can apply for the Product in Boao Super Hospital first and receive treatment from the expert team. As of 30 June 2024, more than 3,200 patients have been treated with ruxolitinib cream in Boao Super Hospital.CMS has always been patient-oriented and innovation-driven based on clinical needs, continuously striving to improve drug accessibility. Benefited from the "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect" policy, ruxolitinib cream was approved for use in the Greater Bay Area and completed its first batch of prescriptions, shortening the time difference for Chinese vitiligo patients to use innovative drug and benefiting more domestic patients. Looking forward to the future, the Group will continuously strive to meet the unmet needs of Chinese patients, continuously explore novel drugs with international quality, and efficiently promote products’ clinical development and commercialization, so as to bring more quality pharmaceutical products through differentiated innovation-breakthrough, to safeguard the health and life-quality of patients.About ruxolitinib creamRuxolitinib cream (Opzelura), a novel cream formulation of Incyte’s selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, is approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the topical treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo in patients 12 years of age and older. As of now, it is the first and only treatment for repigmentation approved for use in the United States[1]. Ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura) is also approved in the U.S. for the topical short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in non-immunocompromised patients 12 years of age and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies, or when those therapies are not advisable[2]. In Europe, ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura) is approved for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age[3].On 2 December 2022, the Group through a subsidiary of the Company, a dermatology medical aesthetic company (“CMS Skinhealth”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Incyte for topical formulations of ruxolitinib for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory dermatology diseases. In accordance with the License Agreement, the Group through CMS Skinhealth received an exclusive license to develop, register and commercialize the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and eleven Southeast Asian countries (Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, Timor-Leste and Brunei Darussalam) (the “Territory”) and a non-exclusive license to manufacture the Product in the Territory. The License Agreement commenced on its effective date and has a royalty term of ten years from the date of the commercial sale of the Product in the Territory (the “Royalty Term”). Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term, the License Agreement may be renewed for a period of ten years thereafter (the “Initial Extended Royalty Term”) as per certain conditions defined in the License Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Initial Extended Royalty Term, the License Agreement may be extended for a period otherwise agreed by both sides as per certain conditions defined in the License Agreement.Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of the Product, marketed in the United States and Europe as Opzelura®. Opzelura and the Opzelura logo are registered trademarks of Incyte.About vitiligoVitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of the skin, which results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is estimated that there are approximately 14 million vitiligo patients in China[4]. Non-segmental vitiligo patients account for approximately 85% of them. Topical corticosteroids (TCS) and calcineurin inhibitors (CI) are used off-label for non-segmental vitiligo, however, these therapies have clinical deficiencies with long-term adverse reactions of long-term treatment or limited efficacy[5,6].About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.

Washington, D.C., Oct 18, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Today marks the launch of the second edition of the Multilateralism Index from the International Peace Institute (IPI) and the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP). The Index reveals that states remain engaged in the global multilateral system even as it increasingly struggles to address the crises it faces.Multilateralism Index 2024 ReportAn image of the front cover of the Multilateralism Index 2024 ReportKey resultsThe performance of the multilateral system declined across all five domains examined.Peace and security showed the steepest deterioration in performance, with the number of armed conflicts rising from 39 in 2013 to 55 in 2022.Climate action and human rights also saw significant declines in performance, despite increased engagement from member states.Participation in multilateral institutions has increased in most domains, even as performance has declined, indicating a shift from cooperation to contestation.Inclusivity improved across all domains, with steady growth in NGO engagement and women's representation in UN bodies.The Multilateralism Index 2024 presents a complex picture of global cooperation over the past decade, examining five crucial domains: Peace and Security, Human Rights, Climate Action, Public Health, and Trade. It reveals a contradiction: while participation in the multilateral system has largely held steady or even increased, its effectiveness in addressing global challenges has declined.Dr. Adam Lupel, IPI Vice President & COO said: "Over the past decade, we've witnessed a paradox in multilateralism. While participation in international institutions has largely held steady or even increased, the performance of the multilateral system in addressing global challenges has declined. This suggests a shift from cooperation to contestation at a time of transformation and rising global crises."The peace and security domain experienced the most significant deterioration in performance. Active armed conflicts increased from 39 in 2013 to 55 in 2022, with a notable rise in internationalized conflicts. The UN Security Council has seen more frequent use of the veto power, constraining its ability to respond to crises. However, states have not broadly pulled back from the UN peace and security architecture, and commitments in some areas, such as multilateral peacebuilding, have increased.Climate action presents another contradiction. Despite near-universal participation in the Paris Agreement and growing climate commitments, these commitments continue to fall short of necessary targets. Projections show an 8.8% increase in emissions by 2030, in stark contrast to the 43% decrease required to meet the critical 1.5°C target.The human rights domain exhibits a counterintuitive pattern. While engagement with UN human rights mechanisms has increased, global human rights protections have steadily declined. Most strikingly, members of the UN Human Rights Council consistently scored lower on human rights measures than the global average, indicating that many states are engaging less to advance human rights than to shape the direction of the system.Multilateral action on public health was significantly shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, which reversed years of progress, particularly in areas such as childhood immunization. It also put the shortcomings of the global public health system in stark relief, spurring negotiations on an international pandemic agreement aimed at strengthening preparedness and response capabilities for future health crises.Trade is the one area where both performance and participation decreased. The paralysis of global trade negotiations and breakdown in adherence to global trade rules signal a shift away from multilateral approaches. This trend, combined with growing geopolitical tensions, creates challenges for global economic cooperation.Steve Killelea, Founder & Executive Chairman of IEP, commented: "The Multilateralism Index 2024 reveals a challenging trend: while engagement in global institutions has increased, their effectiveness has declined across key areas. There is a need to revitalize our multilateral system to address today's complex challenges."Despite these challenges, the Index highlights positive developments, particularly in the area of inclusivity. NGO engagement with the UN system has grown, and women's representation has increased across many UN bodies. However, the Global South remains underrepresented in many areas, suggesting that geographic inclusivity remains a work in progress.As the world contends with interconnected crises, from conflict to climate change, the Multilateralism Index 2024 provides valuable insights into the current state of global cooperation. It underscores the need for thoughtful reform to ensure that multilateral institutions can effectively address the complex challenges of the 21st century.Contact InformationMike KoslowskiIEP Senior Communications Advisormkoslowski@economicsandpeace.org+61418410531Related FilesMultilateralism Index 2024 - Full Press Release (1)Multilateralism Index 2024 - Full Press Release (1)SOURCE: International Peace Institute Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
