Technology Graphene Production Plant with Capacity of 10 Tons Per AnnumBrisbane, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 2, 2026) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Limited (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors of GMG has approved the investment of an additional AU$1.4 million, which is expected to complete the construction of the Company's Gen 2.0 Graphene Manufacturing Technology plant (the "Gen 2.0 Plant") capable of producing 10 tons of graphene per annum. The total capital cost for the Gen 2.0 Plant is an estimated AU$2.3 million, an expenditure that was largely included in the proposed use of proceeds for the March 2025 Bought Deal Financing of C$5,796,000.The Company's Board is happy with progress to date and is confident that the Gen 2.0 Plant project is on track to meet its original budget and expectation to be online by the middle of 2026. The early work and procurement of the long lead items is substantially complete, and engineering and design has commenced.The Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to be largely self-powered from standalone energy generation that utilizes renewable sources, an energy storage system and hydrogen enriched natural gas provided by tail gas power generation.Figure 1: GMG Headquarters LayoutTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/285998_graphene1.jpgGMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We are very excited with the progress to date of the Gen 2.0 project and are looking forward to bringing the plant online - on time and on budget."GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "A successful Gen 2.0 project will form the basis for the Company's future expansion plans."Quarterly Financial Results UpdateThe Company is pleased to provide a further update to its most recent Quarterly Financial Results as published and filed on March 2, 2026. The Company's results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This news release may include certain Non-IFRS measures as reported in the Company's Quarterly Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") that are used internally by management to assess the underlying operational performance of our business.Understanding the Non-Cash Warrant LiabilityAs at December 31, 2025, the Company had 18.6 million outstanding share purchase warrants with exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars. Because GMG's functional currency is the Australian dollar, IFRS accounting standards require these warrants to be treated as a derivative financial liability and revalued at fair value each reporting period.During Q2 FY2026, GMG's share price increased 178%, a strong performance that reflects growing market confidence. However, under IFRS, this share price increase results in a higher calculated fair value for the warrant liability, which in turn generates a non-cash loss in the Company's statement of profit or loss and a corresponding increase in total liabilities on the balance sheet.Key Points for Shareholders:This accounting adjustment is entirely non-cash and does not affect GMG's cash position, operations, or business fundamentals.The Company's cash balance at December 31, 2025 was A$13.9 million, up from A$7.7 million at June 30, 2025.Excluding the warrant liability, the Company's underlying net assets position at December 31, 2025 was positive A$21.5 million.The warrant liability decreases when warrants are exercised (converting the liability to equity and adding cash), or when the warrants expire or when the share price declines. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, approximately 2.9 million warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of A$3.6 million, further strengthening the Company's cash position and reducing the warrant liability by a corresponding amount.Management views the warrant liability as a technical accounting matter that does not reflect the Company's operational performance or strategic progress. The Company's market capitalization at December 31, 2025 was approximately USD$200 million.Non-IFRS MeasuresA Non-IFRS measure that the Company refers to in its MD&A is EBITDA, which is revenue before finance costs, tax, depreciation and amortization, and after adjusting for certain non-cash items and other earnings adjustment items. The Company believes that EBITDA provides useful information to assess the operational performance of the business, however, Non-IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS, have not been subject to audit, and should not be considered as an indication of or alternative to an IFRS measure of financial performance.Table 1: Calculation of EBITDATo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/285998_66807f3f541149e1_017full.jpgThe following table provides the reconciliation of the underlying loss for the period and adjusted basic diluted loss per share, as adjusted and calculated by the Company. This reconciliation adjusts for the non-cash change in fair value of warrants which is included in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.Table 2: Calculation of the unaudited adjusted loss for the period and adjusted basic and diluted loss per share, as adjusted and calculated by the Company.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/285998_66807f3f541149e1_018full.jpg(1) Due to the loss recognized for the years, all outstanding stock options, warrants, broker warrants, restricted share units and performance share units were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect. (2) Calculated using loss for the period over the weighted average number of ordinary shares as per IFRS.(3) Calculated using adjusted loss for the period over the weighted average number of ordinary shares (non-IFRS measure).About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases.

NPV:After-tax NPV(5%) of C$6.73 billion and IRR of 23% at Consensus Metal Prices After-tax NPV(5%) of C$13.53 billion and IRR of 39% at Spot Metal Prices.NPV Including scandium and the associated processing circuit: After-tax NPV(5%) of C$6.94 billion an IRR of 19% at Consensus Metal PricesAfter-tax NPV(5%) of C$14.52 billion and IRR of 32% at Spot Metal Prices.Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 2, 2026) - Doubleview Gold Corp (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of its 100%-owned polymetallic Hat porphyry project ("Hat" or "the Project"), in northwestern British Columbia. With major content of copper, gold, cobalt, silver, and scandium, Hat becomes an important source of critical minerals.Three processing scenarios were evaluated-Scenario A1 (A1) a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation base case using current testwork recoveries[1], Scenario A2 (A2), the same base case using expected recoveries1, and Scenario B (B), a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flowsheet with an added hydrometallurgical circuit and scandium recovery circuit-with results indicating the Project is financially attractive even without the scandium component.Highlights:Robust Project Economics: The PEA demonstrates a high-margin operation with an After-Tax NPV(5%) of C$4.96 billion (A1), C$6.73 billion (A2), or C$6.94 billion (B), and an IRR of 19% (A1), 23% (A2), or 19% (B) at analyst consensus metal prices[2]. Using a spot-price scenario[3], the Project delivers a compelling after-tax NPV(5%) of C$11.05 billion (A1), 13.53 billion (A2), or C$14.52 billion (B) and an IRR of 34% (A1), 39% (A2), or 32% (B).Sensitivity Highlight: Project economics show the greatest leverage to overall metal prices, with NPV (5%) ranging from C$3.2 billion to C$10.2 billion (IRR: 14%-32%) at ±20% on all metals; even under additional +20% CAPEX and +20% OPEX sensitivities, applied on top of a 25% contingency already embedded in the base case, all scenarios deliver IRRs of 16% or better, and Scenario B provides additional scandium oxide upside with NPV(5%) of C$6.2 billion-C$7.7 billion (IRR: 18%-20%) at ±40% metal price.Tier 1 Scale and Longevity: The mine plan supports a multi-decade life of 25 years at a 120,000 tonnes-per-day processing rate, underpinned by a resource base of 609 Mt at 0.43% CuEq[4] in the Measured and Indicated categories and 503 Mt at 0.41% CuEq4 in the Inferred category.High-Output Production Profile B: Envisioned as a conventional large-scale open-pit operation, the Project is expected to produce an average of over 74 kt of copper, 254 koz of gold, 376 koz of silver and 2.7 kt of cobalt annually during the first 10 years, with life-of-mine (LOM) average production of 67.6 kt Cu, 217 koz Au, 348 koz Ag, 2.5 kt Co, and 128 tonnes of scandium oxide per year. (NOTE: projected cobalt to be about 68% of North America's cobalt production based on 2024 production)Strategic Importance for Critical Minerals: The Project is positioned as a primary North American source of copper, scandium, and cobalt. With approximately 2.42 billion pounds of copper, 80 million pounds of cobalt and 2,415 tonnes of scandium oxide contained[5] in the Measured and Indicated categories, the Project represents an important discovery of critical minerals.Stable, Supportive Jurisdiction: Located in a premier mining district in British Columbia, the Project benefits from a stable regulatory environment. The Company is committed to engaging with local First Nations in a respectful manner and to working toward positive and constructive relationships as the Project advances.Catalyst for Development: The PEA serves as the technical foundation for an immediate transition into a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), providing a clear roadmap for early works and permitting activities in 2026 and 2027.Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented, "The results of this PEA confirm the scale, strength and long-term potential of the Hat Project. Delivering a post-tax NPV(5%) of up to C$6.94 billion and IRR of up to 23% at consensus prices, and even stronger metrics at spot prices, validates years of disciplined exploration and technical work by our team. Hat is demonstrating Tier 1 characteristics with a 25-year mine life, strong annual production profile and meaningful free cash flow generation. Importantly, the Project stands on its own without reliance on scandium, while still preserving significant upside from critical minerals as markets mature. We are excited to advance Hat to Pre-Feasibility and continue building a major Canadian critical metals project."Doubleview acknowledges that the Project is located on the traditional territories of the Tahltan Nation and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation, and recognizes their enduring relationship to and stewardship of the land and waters. Doubleview is committed to respectful, transparent, and ongoing engagement with First Nations and local communities whose territories overlap the Project area and access routes, with a focus on protecting water and the environment and advancing responsible development.PEA OVERVIEWThe PEA contemplates a conventional open-pit mine and processing operation with a 25-year mine life at a 120,000 t/d (42 Mt/a) plant throughput. Two processing pathways were evaluated, A1 and its alternative, A2, and B: the first alternative, A, is a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation concentrator with two recovery cases based on current metallurgical testwork, and A2, reflecting expected performance (Figure 1); and B, a full circuit that retains the base flowsheet and adds a downstream hydrometallurgical scandium recovery circuit (Figure 2).The tailings storage facility is a centreline-raised facility built with compacted cycloned sand from tailings underflow, and engineered drainage for stability, with site-contact waters (including seepage and pit dewatering) recycled to the process plant and final closure involving pond drainage and reclamation. The Project is expected to rely on grid power via an extended transmission line.Tables 1 to 3 summarize the key results of the PEA, including production, operating costs, capital expenditures, and the principal financial metrics; the sections that follow provide additional detail on the underlying assumptions, project design, and study outcomes.Table 1: PEA Study Summary-ProductionMetric UnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BMining SummaryStrip ratiot:t1.60Production Summary LOMAverage Annual ThroughputMt42CuEq Head Grade[6], [7]%0.42Cu Head Grade%0.19Au Head Gradeg/t0.19Ag Head Gradeg/t0.51Co Head Gradeg/t0.78Sc Head Grade6g/t28.35Cu Recovery%808985[8]Au Recovery%6675898Ag Recovery%5353688Co Recovery%3030788Sc Recovery%N/A728Overall Mass of Tailings to Process[9]%N/A12.5Year of Production Start of Sc2O38yearN/A4Average Annual Cu Productionkt63.670.867.6Total Cu Productionkt1,590.51,769.41,689.9Average Annual Payable Cukt61.768.765.7Total Payable Cukt1,542.81,716.31,642.2Average Annual Au Productionkoz161.1183.1217.3Total Au Productionkoz4,028.24,577.55,432.0Average Annual Payable Aukoz153.1173.9207.5Total Payable Aukoz3,826.84,348.75,188.6Average Annual Ag Productionkoz271.3271.3348.0Total Ag Productionkoz6781.66,781.68,700.9Average Annual Payable Agkoz244.1244.1318.6Total Payable Agkoz6,103.46,103.47,965.3Average Annual Co Productionkt1.01.02.5Total Co Productionkt23.923.962.2Average Annual Payable Cokt0.80.82.3Total Payable Cokt19.119.156.3Average Annual Sc2O3 ProductiontN/A128.4Total Sc2O3 ProductiontN/A3,209.5Total Sc2O3 PayabletN/A3,049.0 Table 2: PEA Study Summary-Operating CostMetricUnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BOperating Cost Average Mine Operating CostsC$/t-moved2.32Average Mine Operating CostsC$/t-milled6.03Processing Operating Cost[10]C$/t-milled7.937.9310.84Sc2O3 Processing Cost[11]C$/kg Sc2O3N/A939.55General & AdministrativeC$/t-milled2.562.562.56Total Operating CostsC$/t-milled16.2216.2222.96 Table 3: PEA Study Summary-Capital Expenditure and Financial MetricsMetricUnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BCapital Expenditure Initial Capital CostsC$M3,5523,6013,828Sustaining Capital CostsC$M2,7552,7554,006Closure and Reclamation CostC$M503Financial Metrics Exchange RateCAD/USD1.37Long Term Copper PriceUS$/lb4.88Long Term Gold PriceUS$/oz3,272.60Long Term Silver PriceUS$/oz50.22Long Term Cobalt PriceUS$/lb19.57Long Term Scandium Oxide PriceUS$/kgN/A1,500Average Annual EBITDAC$M8861,0711,242Total EBITDAC$M22,16226,77031,041Average Annual Free Cash Flow (Pre-tax)C$M7569401,061Free Cash Flow (Pre-tax)[12]C$M18,90423,51126,532Total Provincial Tax (inc.

Mineit's Qualified Person, Tomasz Wawruch, FAusIMM, completed the MRE, and has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure related to the MRE contained in this news release. Mr. Wawruch is a senior geology and mineral resource consultant independent of Doubleview. Mr. Gilles Arseneau, PhD., P.Geo., of ARSENEAU Consulting Services Inc., provided an independent review of this MRE.Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves.The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014), and CIM MRMR Best Practice Guidelines (2019).The effective date of the MRE is February 4, 2026.Metal contents have been calculated using the following metallurgical recovery factors: Cu = 85%, Au = 89%, Co = 78%, and Ag = 68%.Economic assumptions used include US4.80/lb Cu, US20.00/lb Co, US3,200/oz Au, US46/oz Ag, and a 2% NSR royalty.Mineral Resources are reported within optimized open pit constraints and 0.2% CuEq cut-off grade, based on a C7.93/t milled processing cost and C2.90/t milled general and administrative cost, with a mining cost of C3.01/t plus incremental mining cost increasing by C0.015/t for every bench below the reference level of 1,125 mRL.CuEq calculations do not include scandium. The formula used to calculate CuEq is: CuEq = [(((Ag × 46.0 × 0.68)/31.1035) + ((Au × 3200 × 0.89)/31.1035) + 0.0001 × (Co × 20.0 × 0.78 × 22.0462) + 0.0001 × (Cu × 4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85))/(4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85)], where all input variables are expressed in (ppm) and CuEq is expressed in percent (%).Rounding may result in minor variations between individual values and totals; such differences are not considered material to the MRE.Mineral Resource classification reflects the level of geological confidence and satisfies the uncertainty criteria appropriate for exploration and resource development. Additional drilling will be required to reduce uncertainty to the level expected for production planning.The MRE reflects the geological interpretation, drill-hole spacing, and estimation parameters available at the time of modelling. Any additional drilling is expected to influence the current outcome by improving confidence in the estimates and refining the geometry of the mineralized domains.The Mineral Resource results are presented in situ within the optimized pit. Mineralized material outside the pit has not been considered as a part of the current MRE tabulation. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes, g/t).A total of 97 diamond drill holes, comprising 49,548 m of core, were incorporated into the Mineral Resource Estimate. All drilling data used in the MRE were subject to standard QA/QC validation prior to inclusion.PROCESSING SCENARIOSThe PEA evaluates two processing scenarios: (A) a conventional Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation concentrator at 120,000 t/d (42 Mt/a) with two recovery cases-A1 based on metallurgical testwork completed by Sepro Laboratories (Langley, BC) and A2 reflecting target/expected performance-and (B) a full circuit that retains the base flowsheet and adds a downstream hydrometallurgical scandium recovery circuit.The concentrator consists of crushing, grinding, flotation, concentrate handling, and tailings management, producing both a saleable approximately 25% Cu concentrate with co-product gold and by-product silver-cobalt credits and a pyrite concentrate enriched in cobalt; in the full-circuit case, the pyrite concentrate is roasted to generate sulphuric acid and a calcine that is then processed to recover cobalt, gold, silver, and copper; after stripping it will be precipitated as a sulphide to be admixed to the copper concentrate to improve grade, with the acid used to leach flotation tailings for scandium recovery, noting that the scandium circuit is a newer chemical process compared with the otherwise industry-standard flowsheet.Under A1 or A2 (Figure 1), the flowsheet produces a single saleable product-a copper concentrate with payable gold credits; the pyrite concentrate is not treated or marketed in this case and is only processed in B where the hydrometallurgical circuit enables recovery of cobalt (and additional Au-Ag) and supports the scandium circuit (Figure 2), which is planned to be constructed in a phased approach commencing in Year 3 of operations.Figure 1: Grinding and Flotation Flowsheet; Scenarios A1/A2 Report Copper Concentrate Only, while the Cobalt-Pyrite Flotation Stream Shown Is Included Only in Scenario BTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/285945_7d43165cf4f1bb4d_001full.jpgFigure 2: Scenario B Hydrometallurgical Plant Block Flow Diagram, Showing Downstream Treatment of the Cobalt-Pyrite Stream and Flotation of Tailings to Recover Cobalt (and Au-Ag) and Scandium, Including Sulphuric Acid Generation to Support the Scandium CircuitTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/285945_7d8c82e63416eab6_003full.jpgTable 7 summarizes the head grades, concentrate grades, and overall metallurgical recoveries from early testwork for the full circuit; A1 assumes only the reported recoveries to the Cu-Au concentrate, while the cobalt-pyrite concentrate and downstream recoveries are considered only in B.Table 7: Attainable Recovery from TestworkProductGradeRecoveryCopper (%)Cobalt (ppm)Gold (g/t)Silver (g/t)Copper(%)Cobalt(%)Gold(%)Silver(%)Head Grade0.211320.342.9----Copper-Gold Concentrate251160126880306653Cobalt-Pyrite Concentrate0.301605285482315Combined Concentrates----85788968Tailings0.05400.051.015221132 Early metallurgical testwork comprised metallurgical characterization studies under standard laboratory conditions to demonstrate metals recoverability for inclusion in the estimate of CuEq. No attempt was made to optimize flotation conditions, and more advanced flotation testwork was not undertaken. Consequently, the reported metallurgical recoveries are considered conservative, and it is reasonable to expect improvement with further testwork.A2, assumes improved copper and gold recoveries of 89% and 75%, respectively, reflecting expected performance from comparable Cu-Au porphyry flotation circuits following further optimization and testwork.Table 8 summarizes the recoveries assumption on each scenario.Table 8: Net Recovery for Each ScenarioNet Recovery Scenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BCu Recovery80%89%85%Au Recovery66%75%89%Ag Recovery53%53%68%Co Recovery30%30%78% CAPITAL COST SUMMARYTable 9 presents the estimated capital cost breakdown for the three evaluated scenarios, separating initial CAPEX from sustaining CAPEX and reporting costs in C$M by major cost area (processing plant, mining, pre-stripping, infrastructure, tailings and water management, Indirects/EPCM, and contingency).Total initial CAPEX is estimated at C$3,552 million (A1), C$3,601 million (A2), and C$3,828 million (B), reflecting the higher processing plant scope and associated indirects/contingency in Scenario B.Total sustaining CAPEX is estimated at C$2,755 million (A1/A2) and C$4,006 million (B), with the increase in B driven primarily by the inclusion of the hydrometallurgical plant and scandium recovery circuit within sustaining capital, while mining, infrastructure, and tailings sustaining components remain broadly consistent across scenariosTable 9: Capital Cost SummaryCapital Cost Summary UnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BInitial Capex Processing Plant (Excl.

Using an exchange rate of 1.37 CAD: 1.00 USD and long-term prices of US$4.88/lb Cu, US$3,272.60/oz Au, US$50.22/oz Ag, and US$19.57/lb Co (and US$1,500/kg Sc₂O₃ for B), the Project generates average annual EBITDA of C$886 million (A1), C$1,071 million (A2), and C$1,242 million (B). On a post-tax basis, NPV(5%) is estimated at C$4,963 million (A1), C$6,727 million (A2), and C$6,937 million (B) with corresponding post-tax IRRs of 19%, 23%, and 19%, and post-tax payback in Year 6 (A1), Year 5 (A2), and Year 7 (B). Total post-tax free cash flow is estimated at C$10,050 million (A1), C$12,961 million (A2), and C$14,763 million (B), reflecting the higher cash generation under the improved recovery case (A2) and the additional revenue streams in Scenario B, partially offset by the added capital and operating requirements of the hydrometallurgical and scandium circuits.SENSITIVITY ANALYSISSensitivity cases were evaluated for the key value drivers using after-tax NPV (5%) and after-tax IRR, including ±20% copper and gold prices, +20% initial capital, +20% operating costs and, for B, a ±40% scandium price sensitivity.Overall, the sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the Project's after-tax economics remain positive across the tested ranges, with the greatest variability in after-tax NPV(5%) and IRR driven by simultaneous changes in the overall metal price deck. Changes to copper and gold prices individually have a meaningful but smaller effect, while +20% initial CAPEX and +20% OPEX reduce value but do not eliminate Project attractiveness in any of the evaluated scenarios. Scenario B shows additional exposure to scandium oxide price, with after-tax NPV(5%) varying within a narrower range relative to the broader multi-metal price cases, indicating that scandium provides incremental upside while the base-case Cu-Au Project remains financially robust on its own.PERMITTING, RISKS, AND NEXT STEPSPermitting and EnvironmentalPermitting StatusThe permitting process will be supported by the continuation of environmental baseline studies, progression of engineering designs, and the initiation of socio-economic and cultural baseline studies.Due to the anticipated rate of resource extraction, it is expected that the Hat Project will be subject to both federal and provincial impact assessment pathways, so submission to both the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) and British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (B.C. EAO) for their review is currently anticipated. Agency determination will decide the appropriate level of agency collaboration under the existing cooperation agreement for the Hat Project to acquire a provincial Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) and/or federal Decision Statement.The company will also submit a Joint Mines Act and Environmental Management Act Application through the B.C. Major Mines Office. Additional federal authorizations, including Fisheries Act approvals and compliance with Metal and Diamond Mines Effluent Regulations (MDMER), and applicable provincial permits will be obtained concurrently with other assessment and permitting steps. This will not only support protection of the immediate environment through the life of the Project but also respect the rights of First Nations and promote social and economic wellbeing for local communities.Tailings and Water ManagementThe Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) includes a perimeter dyke primarily constructed from compacted cycloned sand. This material will be sourced from the coarse underflow of tailings processed through an on-site cyclone plant. Using the centreline raise method, the dam is designed to be free-draining, lowering the phreatic surface to facilitate geotechnical stability. During operations, seepage from the TSF will be directed to the process plant as reclaim water. Upon closure, the supernatant pond will be drained, and the tailings and dam surfaces will be reclaimed with a granular trafficability layer, followed by a growth medium and native revegetation.The water management strategy prioritizes the reuse of site-impacted water, directing TSF water, contact water from the waste rock storage facilities, and open-pit dewatering to the process plant for use as make-up water.Key Risks and OpportunitiesProject-wideTailings Storage Facility:The location and geometry of the TSF are subject to refinement following geotechnical investigations of the potential site areas. Similarly, the anticipated availability of cycloned sand and the storage requirements for the facility may be adjusted once laboratory testing of the tailings is conducted.The integration of this future site-specific data presents a significant opportunity to optimize the TSF design.Mineral Processing:Limited metallurgical and comminution data introduce uncertainty in equipment sizing and operating cost inputs; however, early results indicate the ore should be amenable to conventional Cu-Au flotation, with potential upside from improved recoveries and reduced reagent consumption through optimization.The scandium circuit is less mature and is sensitive to acid economics and hydrometallurgical performance, but offers meaningful value upside if recoveries, product quality, and operating stability are confirmed at larger scale.Mine Design:Pit slope design criteria and mine scheduling are subject to elevated uncertainty due to the limited geotechnical database, including incomplete definition of structural controls, rock mass variability, and groundwater conditions. This creates downside risk to slope angles, strip ratio, and operating conditions if adverse structures or hydrogeology are encountered; however, it also provides a clear opportunity to materially improve design confidence and potentially optimize slope geometry, mine sequencing, and dewatering requirements through focused data acquisition and updated analyses.Capital Cost estimates:As a PEA-level estimate, capital costs remain subject to the inherent uncertainty of a preliminary design basis and limited engineering definition; however, significant effort was undertaken to develop the estimate using a defined scope, preliminary equipment sizing, and factored/benchmark-based costing with appropriate indirects and contingency. This work provides a credible foundation for decision-making at this stage while also highlighting clear opportunities to optimize capital intensity through further engineering definition, value engineering, and targeted trade-off studies (e.g., comminution configuration, tailings strategy, infrastructure/power, and construction execution approach).Scandium specific:Scandium provides strategic upside given its small, concentrated global supply base and the growing premium placed on secure, qualified supply, but it carries higher execution and commercial risk due to limited scale-up testwork (variability, impurity control, reagent intensity), added residue-management and permitting complexity, and uncertainty around product specifications, pricing, and customer qualification.Next StepsResource:The Company is advancing the Project toward Pre-Feasibility by upgrading confidence in the current Mineral Resource estimate and improving definition of mineralization within the proposed mine plan area. The program will prioritize infill drilling to support conversion of Inferred Resources to Indicated (and, where appropriate, Measured), together with step-out drilling to test extensions of known mineralization and provide improved geological continuity for next-stage mine design, scheduling, and economic evaluation.Waste facilities:Field investigations will be conducted at potential TSF and waste rock storage sites to characterize subsurface conditions and identify suitable borrow materials for construction. These efforts will be supported by site-specific geotechnical and geochemical characterization of the tailings and waste rock. These data sets will inform a TSF design update to a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) level of engineering, encompassing an optimized siting and technology trade-off study.Metallurgy:Complete a comprehensive metallurgical testwork program on representative samples including comminution testwork (Bond Work Index, abrasion index, and related grindability tests) and metallurgical variability + locked-cycle flotation testing to define an optimal process flowsheet, mass balance, and optimized reagent scheme, and to produce samples for concentrate dewatering and preliminary smelter marketing.Progress the scandium work through targeted hydrometallurgical optimization including pulp density, free acidity/acid consumption, SX staging and extractant concentration, followed by an integrated pilot trial on bulk samples to validate scandium recovery, product quality, and circuit operability.Mine Design:A phased geotechnical program is recommended that includes re-analysis of existing boreholes (re-logging and detailed structural mapping, including oriented-core interpretation where available), establishment of geotechnical domains, targeted drilling and field mapping to confirm discontinuity sets and persistence, and hydrogeological data collection to constrain pore pressures and inflows. These data will support updated kinematic assessments and slope design analyses, refinement of inter-ramp and overall slope angles, and improved inputs to mine planning, risk management measures, and capital/operating cost estimates.Capital Costs Estimation:As the Project advances to PFS, the estimate will be progressively refined by advancing engineering to a higher level of definition, updating quantities and vendor inputs for major equipment and packages, tightening indirects and construction productivity assumptions, and executing focused optimization and constructability reviews to reduce contingency and improve overall cost confidence.NI 43-101 DISCLOSURE, QUALIFIED PERSONS, AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTSQualified PersonsThe scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by the following Qualified Persons (as defined under NI 43-101):Tomasz Wawruch, FAusIMM, Senior Geology and Mineral Resource Consultant of Mineit Consulting Inc.

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 2, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQB: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to report an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The Company is currently undertaking a fully-funded 140,000-metre step-out drill program at the Project with the objective of determining the scope of mineralization to a depth of 2 kilometres. This program commenced in 2025 and is expected to continue through the first half of 2027. Today's updated MRE is an interim report that demonstrates the impact of recent drilling successes completed as of December 31, 2025. Highlights include:82% increase in Inferred Mineral Resources from step-out drilling intersecting new mineralization, with 1.69 million ounces ("Moz") in 10.37 million tonnes ("Mt") at 5.08 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au");8% increase in Indicated Mineral Resources with 0.63 Moz in 3.49 Mt at 5.59 g/t Au;Estimated using US$2,500/oz Au and 2.2 g/t Au cut-off, with a refined geological model and capping strategy, establishing the go-forward basis for future, modern mine development.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "Today we report the first of several planned, step-by-step updates to the MRE at the O'Brien Gold Project, quantifying the impact of our recent drilling success and establishing a clear foundation for future, modern mine development. With just 25% of our 140,000 metre step-out drill program completed, the new vein mineralization delineated beneath the historic mine workings and the previous mineral resource volume (Radisson news release dated February 12, 2026) has resulted in an 82% increase in the quantity of Inferred Mineral Resources, now 1.69 Moz (10.37 Mt at 5.08 g/t Au). At the same time, we have refined the estimate of Indicated Mineral Resources, incorporating more tonnes at a lower average grade for an 8% increase in contained ounces, now 0.63 Moz (3.49 Mt at 5.59 g/t Au). Our estimates utilize a 2.2 g/t Au cut-off at a reasonable gold price assumption of US$2,500/oz.""The former O'Brien Mine was known for high-grade ore-shoots mined in small volumes. Mining ended in 1957 with the gold price at US$35/oz. Significant volumes of mineralized vein material, below what we believe to have been a 7 g/t to 8 g/t Au cut-off, were left untouched. Now, we are presenting the Project as it should be viewed for future development: not as a bespoke deposit of extreme grade and limited scale, but as an extensive Abitibi vein deposit with a substantial inventory of mineralized material amenable to modern mechanized mining at higher throughput." "Our step-out drill campaign at O'Brien is ongoing with up to eight rigs. We expect to complete 72,500 metres in 2026 and 32,500 metres in the first half of 2027. This is in addition to the meterage supporting today's updated MRE. The vein mineralization system we have been intersecting is open at depth. In fact, since our step-out drilling began in the fall of 2024, we have been seeing an impressive 84% success rate in intercepting classic O'Brien quartz-sulphide-gold veins with grades and thicknesses consistent with today's updated MRE. Looking to a 2-kilometre exploration floor, we believe an appropriate Exploration Target at O'Brien is another 5 Mt to 10 Mt at grades of between 4.0 g/t and 6.0 g/t Au containing 0.6 Moz to 2.0 Moz. We expect to complete further step-by-step updates to the MRE as our drilling progresses."Cautionary statement: Readers are cautioned Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues including risks set forth in Radisson's filings made with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.A video presentation of today's news by Matt Manson can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IZwSSYbO70.Mineral Resource Estimate (effective January 31, 2026)The MRE is based on 428,440 metres of drilling completed to the end of December 31, 2025, and has been authored by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. ("SLR"). The estimate utilizes a 2.2 g/t Au cut-off at US$2,500/oz and makes certain assumptions on mining and processing costs, currency exchange rate, and metallurgical recovery (Table 1 and Figure 1). A wireframe vein model prepared by Radisson and reviewed by SLR constrains the estimate and applies a minimum width of 1.2 metres. Individual assays are capped at 60 g/t Au prior to compositing to full width of the veins, and the block model utilizes 5 by 2 by 5 metre blocks consistent with recent mine design studies.Table 1: Mineral Resource Estimate, Effective January 31, 2026CategoryTonnes (kt)Grade (g/t Au)Oz (koz Au)Indicated3,4935.59628Inferred10,3685.081,692Notes:Prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definition Standards (2014) and Best Practice Guidelines of Mineral Resources and Reserves (2019).Mineral resources are reported above a cut-off grade of 2.2 g/t Au based on a C$215/t operating cost, a long-term gold price of US$2,500/oz Au, a US$/C$ exchange rate of 1:1.33, and a metallurgical recovery of 90%. Wireframes were modelled at a minimum width of 1.2 m.Bulk density varies by deposit and lithology and ranges from 2.76 t/m³ to 2.87 t/m³. Individual assays were capped at 60 g/t Au prior to compositing to full vein width.Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Numbers may not add due to rounding. An MRE for the Project was previously published in March 2023 (Radisson news release dated March 2, 2023) based on 325,509 metres of drilling completed to the end of 2022. Indicated Mineral Resources (effective March 2, 2023) were estimated at 0.50 Moz (1.52 Mt at 10.26 g/t Au) with additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.45 Moz (1.60 Mt at 8.66 g/t Au). The 2023 study applied a 4.5 g/t Au cut-off at US$1,600/oz Au.In July 2025, Radisson published a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Project that utilized the 2023 estimate re-blocked by SLR in the Z-direction from 10 metres to 5 metres to allow for more flexible underground mine design. A cut-off of 2.2 g/t Au at US$2,000/oz Au and an updated set of economic criteria were applied in the re-blocking exercise consistent with the parameters used for the optimization of the PEA's underground mine schedule. No other changes were made. Indicated Mineral Resources (effective May 6, 2025) were estimated at 0.58 Moz (2.20 Mt at 8.22 g/t Au) with additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.93 Moz (6.67 Mt at 4.35 g/t Au).The updated MRE released today benefits from 66,387 metres of additional drilling in 122 drill holes conducted between 2023 and 2025, which is the most significant factor in the increase of Inferred Mineral Resources (Figure 2). Radisson has also validated an additional 36,544 meters of historic drilling. The updated MRE utilizes similar estimation parameters to previously, but a more restrictive approach to capping. In the March 2023 estimate, and as incorporated in the re-blocked May 2025Figure 1: Block Models for the Mineral Resource Estimates Effective May 6, 2025 (Top) with Recently Published Drill Results and the Updated MRE Effective January 31, 2026 (Bottom) To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/285831_ef6502aeb443086a_001full.jpgestimate, capping at 40 g/t Au was applied to the full-length composites. In the updated MRE, capping has been applied at 60 g/t Au to the underlying assays prior to compositing. This has the effect of reducing the average grade by approximately 12%, and in the opinion of Radisson and SLR is an appropriate approach to a narrow high-grade vein deposit such as O'Brien.Figure 2: 3D View of Block Model by Resource Classification (Left) and Gold Grade (Right) Illustrating Volume Utilized in the Previous May 2025 MRE To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/285831_ef6502aeb443086a_002full.jpgCompared to previous estimates, the aggregate impact on the Indicated Mineral Resources of the new drilling, the 2.2 g/t Au cut-off, and the updated capping strategy has been to add more tonnes at a lower average grade for an overall increase in contained ounces. The aggregate impact of these three factors on the Inferred Mineral Resources has been the addition of more tonnes at a higher average grade for an overall increase in contained ounces. Indicated Mineral Resources have increased by 8% to 0.63 Moz, based on an increase in tonnes of 58% to 3.49 Mt and a decrease in grade of 32% to 5.59 g/t Au. Inferred Mineral Resources have increased by 82% to 1.69 Moz, based on an increase in tonnage of 55% to 10.37 Mt and an increase in grade of 17% to 5.08 g/t Au.O'Brien's system of Quartz-Sulphide-Gold vein mineralization remains open to depth across a broad front beneath the historic mine workings and the updated MRE. The potential continuation of this mineralization to a 2 kilometres depth defines an Exploration Target of an additional 5 Mt to 10 Mt at grades of between 4.0 g/t and 6.0 g/t Au containing 0.6 Moz to 2.0 Moz. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.Table 2: Sensitivities of the Mineral Resource Estimate Based on Cut-OffTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/285831_ef6502aeb443086a_003full.jpgA New Vision for the O'Brien Gold ProjectThe historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au. It is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with manual mining methods applied to the highest-grade veins and ore shoots at an estimated cut-off grade of 7 g/t to 8 g/t Au. Parallel but lower-grade mineralized zones, which would be well above an economic cut-off grade today, were left unmined.The updated MRE does not incorporate any mineral resources potentially remaining in the former mine. However, in applying the lower grade cut-off of 2.2 g/t Au based on a gold-price estimate of US$2,500, the new estimate captures the overall volume attributes of the O'Brien mineralizing system, with more tonnes and more ounces at a lower average grade. This has the benefit of improving the continuity of mineralization for future mine planning, with larger stopes and more development headings supporting a higher potential mining rate. The Project has existing mining infrastructure to support such a vision, such as a shaft in the former mine extending to a 1,000 metres depth and multiple mills in the region with significant future capacity.Table 2 illustrates sensitivities on Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources and the MRE block model based on cut-off grade. These are:a) 8.0 g/t Au (US$700/oz) representing the former mine,b) 4.5 g/t Au (US$1,250/oz) representing the MRE effective March 2, 2023,c) 2.2 g/t Au (US$2,500/oz) representing the updated MRE, andd) 1.5 g/t Au (US$3,800/oz) representing the recent long-term consensus price of gold.The comparison clearly indicates the relationship between volume and grade based on cut-off, the directionality of steeply-plunging grade shoots at O'Brien, and the increased continuity of mineralization achieved at progressively lower cut-offs.Gold Mineralization at O'Brien and Step-Out Drill ProgramGold mineralization at O'Brien occurs within quartz-sulphide veins developed primarily within the interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the regionally significant Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness, and are associated with mineralized alteration envelopes of up to several metres in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths.Since the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-out drilling at O'Brien with the objective of determining the overall scope of mineralization at the Project to a depth of 2 kilometres (Figure 1). The priority is the quantity and distribution of mineral resources with step-outs rather than in-filling to upgrade the classification of the existing mineral resources.This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the program to 140,000 metres employing an eventual eight drill rigs (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025). An initial 35,000 metres of the program were completed in 2025, with 72,500 metres budgeted for 2026, and a further 32,500 metres scheduled for the first half of 2027.QP DisclosureDisclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Richard Nieminen, P.Geo., (QC), a geological consultant for Radisson and a Qualified Person for purposes of NI 43-101.

$14.1M NRCan-Funded Program Begins with Six-Tonne Bulk Sample to Produce 500 kg High-Purity Graphite for Reactor Engineering and Product ValidationOttawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 2, 2026) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has shipped a six-tonne bulk ore sample from its 100%-owned Lac Knife Graphite Project ("Lac Knife" or the "Project") to SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") in Lakefield, Ontario, officially commencing pilot-scale processing under its Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") funded demonstration program. The program is designed to produce approximately five hundred (500) kilograms of graphite concentrate to support downstream thermal purification, final reactor engineering, and product validation initiatives.The six-tonne sample will undergo crushing, blending, head assays and metallurgical benchmarking prior to pilot-scale processing. SGS will operate a batch pilot flotation circuit to generate high-grade graphite concentrate targeting approximately 95% graphitic carbon. Final concentrate will be dried and screened into size fractions suitable for subsequent purification testing. The Company anticipates that concentrate will be produced and shipped to its technology partner, Thermal & Material Engineer Center ("TMEC"), within approximately eight to nine weeks to support the commencement of final reactor design work, with the balance of the three-month program consisting primarily of data compilation and reporting activities.As previously announced on December 8, 2025, the Company formalized a funding agreement for up to $14.1 million in non-repayable contributions under NRCan's Global Partnerships Initiative ("GPI"). The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources said, "As global demand for critical minerals accelerates, Canada is ready to lead. Focus Graphite's work at Lac Knife shows how we can build a fully Canadian value chain-from resource to high-purity graphite-and strengthen our economic security in the process. Advancing pilot-scale processing here at home supports good jobs, attracts investment and reinforces Canada's position as a trusted supplier in a changing world."Claude Guay, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, added, "Today's progress at Lac Knife shows how Canadian companies are translating ambition into action. By advancing pilot-scale processing here in Canada, Focus Graphite is helping build the downstream capacity that supports good jobs, strengthens regional economies and positions Canada to supply the advanced materials our partners rely on."Richard Pearce, Technical Advisor to Focus, stated, "SGS Lakefield is a globally recognized leader in mineral processing and pilot-scale metallurgical testing and has extensive familiarity with the Lac Knife flowsheet. This bulk sample program represents a key milestone as we advance Lac Knife toward vertically integrated, high-purity graphite production in Canada. Generating pilot-scale concentrate materially de-risks scale-up and accelerates our pathway toward commercial demonstration."The concentrate generated through this program will serve two primary strategic objectives. Material shipped to TMEC will support final engineering, detailed design optimization and preparation of construction-level specifications for the Company's thermal purification plant reactor, representing a critical step toward fabrication and demonstration-scale production. In parallel, a portion of the concentrate will be retained for customer qualification and product validation initiatives, enabling engagement with potential end users across battery, defence, and advanced materials sectors. Together, these workstreams advance Focus' objective of establishing an integrated, Canadian supply chain pathway from resource to high-purity graphite product.High-purity graphite is an essential material used in lithium-ion batteries, energy storage systems, advanced defense applications and high-technology manufacturing. Establishing domestic production capacity for graphite concentrate and purification is increasingly viewed as strategically important for supply chain security, advanced manufacturing competitiveness and energy transition objectives.In parallel with metallurgical testing, Focus has conducted site visits to multiple potential host facilities in Quebec and Ontario for installation of its planned thermal purification demonstration plant. The Company is actively evaluating existing industrial infrastructure, utilities access, logistics networks and permitting pathways as it advances final reactor design in collaboration with its technology partner.The Company will provide further updates as pilot-scale processing progresses and as additional milestones are achieved.Qualified PersonThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Richard Pearce, PE, President of Brasil Insight Capital LLC., a consultant to the Company, and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument NI 43-101.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc.

HONG KONG, Mar 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, AI Safety Asia (AISA) convened two important conversations on the future of AI governance. The first examined how governments should respond when AI-related crises unfold across borders at machine speed. The second marking the launch of the International AI Safety Report 2026.Taken together, these sessions showed a change in the debate; moving past whether AI should be governed to a focus on how.Who verifies claims made by powerful systems? Who coordinates when an incident crosses jurisdictions in seconds? Who is responsible when an autonomous system acts, and no single ministry appears in charge? As AI systems become more agentic and embedded deeper into critical infrastructure, they are forcing diplomatic and regulatory institutions to respond in real time. The pressure on diplomatic and regulatory institutions is no longer just a theory, it is operational.Governing AI in a Fragmented WorldOn 17 February at Bharat Mandapam, AISA co-hosted the session "AI Crisis Diplomacy: Governing AI in a Fragmented World" in partnership with the Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) and the International Association for Safe and Ethical Artificial Intelligence (IASEAI).The session brought together senior experts in the space; Professor Stuart Russell, Audrey Tang, Dr. Yuko Harayama, Wan Sie Lee, and Azizjon Azimi, moderated by AISA's Chief Strategy Officer, Adjunct Professor Alejandro Reyes.Rather than rehearse abstract debates about regulation, the discussion focused on plausible crisis scenarios: a cross-border deepfake incident that destabilises diplomatic relations before verification catches up; an AI-enabled cyberattack cascading across jurisdictions; an autonomous infrastructure system operating in one country, hosted in another, and affecting a third.The problem is not only detection. It is coordination under uncertainty.The familiar argument that AI evolves too quickly to regulate was put under scrutiny. The pace of innovation does not make governance obsolete. Aviation, nuclear energy, and pharmaceuticals are governed by setting acceptable risk thresholds and requiring evidence that systems meet them. AI should be treated no differently. Governments need to insist on demonstrable safety and credible liability frameworks, rather than accepting disclaimers and opaque risk claims.Governments already know how to cooperate during crises. Pandemic response and cybersecurity have shown that cross-border coordination is possible. The gap in AI governance is not diplomatic architecture in principle, but operational channels between those responsible for technical evaluation. Joint testing efforts are not only about measuring model performance. They build trust, and trust is what allows regulators to pick up the phone, compare signals, and verify before escalation spirals.AI does not create entirely new categories of crisis, but amplifies existing ones. What changes is speed and scale. Human institutions deliberate; AI systems act, and bridging that gap requires new protocols, shared verification standards, and regular engagement long before a crisis forces coordination under pressure.Governance capacity matters, and durable infrastructure outperforms isolated interventions. Crisis diplomacy cannot be improvised, it must be built through trusted networks, regionally grounded expertise, and repeat engagement.The Evidence Dilemma and the 2026 International AI Safety ReportOn 18 February, AISA co-hosted the International AI Safety Report 2026 Launch Reception at the High Commission of Canada in India, in partnership with the High Commission, the UK AI Security Institute, and Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute.The event featured Professor Yoshua Bengio, Chair of the Report and Founder and Scientific Advisor of Mila, supported by co-leads Carina Prunkl and Stephen Clare.The report provides an independent scientific assessment of frontier general-purpose AI capabilities and risks; focusing on emerging risks, including malicious use, autonomous malfunctions, and systemic disruption, and confronts the evidence dilemma. Policymakers must act under conditions of uncertainty, yet waiting for perfect data runs the risk of leaving societies exposed.The Report documents rapid advances in reasoning systems and AI agents, as well as continued reliability challenges, risks in cyber and bio domains, and growing systemic concern; underscoring that risk management cannot rely on a single safeguard. Technical measures, institutional oversight, and societal resilience must be layered.The choice is not between innovation and safety, it is between unmanaged acceleration and accountable progress. Evidence standards, robust evaluations, and credible thresholds are essential if public trust is to keep pace with technical capability.For countries across Asia and the broader Global South, the issue is how to shape governance frameworks that reflect local institutional realities while contributing to global norms. AISA's mission is to ensure that regional expertise informs both national decisions and international debates.From Conversation to CapacityAI governance is not a single regulatory instrument. It is an evolving institutional practice. The next phase will be defined less by declarations and more by whether governments can verify claims, share information at speed, and operationalise coordination before crises escalate.Asia is not waiting for governance models to arrive from elsewhere. Across the region, policymakers, regulators, and technical experts are building their own capacity to govern frontier technologies responsibly, shaped by local realities and regional priorities. The next AI-driven crisis will not unfold on a diplomatic timetable; it will move at machine speed. Whether diplomacy and safety can keep up will depend on the institutions, relationships, and verification channels being built now, not after the fact.About AI Safety AsiaAI Safety Asia (AISA) believes progress in AI must begin with people. Since 2024, AISA has engaged more than 2,000 AI governance professionals across 16 Asian countries. Its work centres on building durable governance infrastructure: research that is regionally grounded, structured peer learning, and implementation-oriented engagement.AISA helps build capacity, bringing together policymakers, experts, and civil society to strengthen the knowledge, networks, and trust required to govern frontier technologies responsibly, grounded in regional realities. The institutions and relationships built today will determine whether diplomacy and safety can keep up.Social LinkLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ai-safety-asia/Media ContactBrand: AI Safety AsiaContact: Media teamWebsite: https://www.aisafety.asia Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
