Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2024) - Doubleview (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the 2024 drilling program at the Hat polymetallic mineral deposit, located in Northern British Columbia, has now surpassed 7,500 meters and is continuing. The company anticipates receiving the first assay results of the 2024 drilling season in the very near future. The drilling program will expand the mineral resource, infill areas with limited drill data, and extend the lateral and depth boundaries of the existing resource envelope, which remains open in all directions and at depth.The 2024 drill targets recognize the mineral resource block model from the recently completed Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and will increase the mineral resource and upgrade the confidence level of the resource categories. The drilling has met expectations, with visual results aligning with and confirming the block model's projections. The Hat deposit hosts several critical minerals as defined in the Canadian Critical Minerals Strategy, including copper, cobalt and, potentially, scandium, and possibly others.Farshad Shirvani, president & CEO of Doubleview, commented, "Year by year, the size of the Hat deposit has been increased by very targeted drilling, bringing it to a footprint of about 1.5km x 1.38km. Our technical and management team has excelled in this endeavor. Furthermore, we've discovered numerous additional elements within the Hat deposit that may become significant and enhance the resource: the Hat deposit may be unique among British Columbia's many. Recent moves by the governments of Canada and British Columbia in recognize the importance of critical minerals and announce targeted infrastructure investments in support of our industry and the many communities and businesses that directly benefit."Selected Drill Results Prior to 2024 Exploration:Every year Doubleview releases details of the year's drilling and activities. The Company website maintains all relevant information. Visual estimates indicate that 2024 drilling has exceeded expectations and will further validate the resource model and increase the dimensions of the mineral resource envelope. Table 1 provides previously announced key intersections, including copper equivalents and selected significant intercepts. These results, combined with the ongoing drilling program, are expected to further validate the Hat deposit's resource model and increase the dimensions of the Hat mineral resource envelope.Table 1: Selected drill results based on current commodity values applied in the resource estimate for the Hat deposit.

Highlights:Strong analytical results from the inaugural drilling campaign for Q2 Metals include:CS-24-018: Widest interval of215.6 m at 1.69% Li2O, including 64.6 m at 2.29% Li2O.CS-24-011: Widest interval of 81.8 m at 1.17% Li2O.CS-24-013: Widest interval of 59.5 m at 1.18% Li2O.Core assay results remain to be reported on six (6) additional drill holes completed during the Summer 2024 Drill Campaign.Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to report the core assay results on drill holes CS-24-011 to CS-24-016 and CS-24-018 from the Spring 2024 Drill Campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property (the "Property" or the "Cisco Property") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. All drill holes intersected pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified."These assays continue to validate the potential and scale of the Cisco Property as that of a larger mineralized system," stated Neil McCallum, Vice President Exploration of the Company. "One important observation of these results is the higher-grade nature of the larger mineralized system as we test and track the system progressing to the south.""We are extremely pleased with these assay results, which continue to demonstrate the world-class nature of the Cisco Project," said Alicia Milne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Q2 Metals. "It is difficult to ignore the significance of what we've discovered at Cisco and our team is committed to continuing to unlock Cisco's full potential."A total of 6,359.7 metres ("m") was drilled over 17 holes during the Spring and Summer 2024 Drill Campaigns.The analytical results reported herein represent 2,318.4 m of drilling over seven (7) holes during the drill campaigns with core assay results remaining to be reported on six (6) additional drill holes that were completed.Complete highlighted intervals from holes CS-24-011 to 016 and CA-24-018 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1, with two cross sections in Figures 2 and 3.Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Hole Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyDrills holes CS-24-011 to CS-24-015 targeted the extension of the CO1 outcrop area towards the CO3 outcrop area.Drill hole CS-24-011 was the most significant interval near CO1, which returned results of 81.8 m of 1.17% Li2O. The hole was a 70 m westward step out from previously reported drill holes CS-24-009 and 010 which had similar results of 82.1 m of 1.43% Li2O and 120.3 m of 1.72% Li2O, respectively (Figure 1 and Cross Section A- Figure 2).As seen in the Cross Section B (Figure 3), many of the western drill holes (CS-24-012 to 015) had several narrower intervals between three (3) and 30 m wide (see Table 1). Drill hole CS-24-016 tested directly below the CO1 outcrop to understand the continuity of mineralization in that region, with 15.8 m of 1.33% Li2O.Drill hole CS-24-018 is the first hole with analytical results to confirm the large, mineralized zone to the south with results of 215.6 m at 1.69% Li2O, including 64.6 m at 2.29% Li2O. The wide mineralized zone in drill hole CS-24-018 is at a depth of between 130 and 270 m vertically below the surface, with the first significant mineralized interval at a depth of only 35 m vertically below the surface.Figure 2. Cross Section A (looking northeast)Figure 3. Cross Section B (looking northeast)Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyAll intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Drill hole collar information has been previously reported for each drill hole reported herein and is also available at: https://www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/.Due to the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols in place by both the Company and the analytical laboratory (SGS Canada), drill hole CS-24-017 was re-submitted for testing. Results will be reported when received and reviewed by the Company.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 kilometres ("km") east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAll drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade was reported by SGS Canada as lithium oxide (Li2O). Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.

SYDNEY, AU, Sept 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations take centre stage in the financial industry, Pro Visionary, a Sydney-based wealth management company, continues to integrate these principles into its investment strategies. The global shift towards sustainability is not just a trend, but a long-term transition in how businesses operate, and Australia is no exception. Pro Visionary's team has recognised the importance of ESG in shaping the future of investment portfolios, particularly within the fixed-income sector.In the Australian finance market, ESG investments have grown substantially over the past few years. The emphasis on sustainability is no longer limited to equity investments but extends to fixed-income markets as well. Bonds issued by environmentally or socially responsible entities, such as green bonds or social bonds, have been attracting considerable interest. These instruments have gained traction due to their ability to provide stable returns while addressing urgent environmental and social challenges. Recent data from the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) indicates a rising demand for such fixed-income products, with investors seeking both financial performance and measurable societal impact.Michael White, Senior Adviser at Pro Visionary, highlighted the role that ESG plays in shaping the investment landscape. "ESG criteria have evolved into key drivers of long-term value. Integrating ESG into fixed-income strategies enhances risk management and fosters sustainable returns. Investors are increasingly recognising that incorporating environmental and social factors is no longer a compromise but a means to strengthen portfolios in the face of emerging risks."White's commentary aligns with broader market trends, where investors have noted that ESG risks, such as climate change or poor corporate governance, can directly impact the creditworthiness of issuers. In Australia, the adoption of ESG measures in fixed-income strategies has been especially relevant due to the country's vulnerability to climate risks, such as extreme weather events and their impact on industries like agriculture and energy.Mark Thompson, also a Senior Adviser at Pro Visionary, expanded on this by discussing the firm's commitment to identifying opportunities that align with sustainable development. "The focus on ESG not only contributes to the greater good but also identifies companies with strong governance and forward-looking strategies. This helps manage risks that traditional models may overlook. Furthermore, fixed-income products like green bonds offer avenues to support infrastructure projects aimed at decarbonising industries, which will be critical in the years ahead."Thompson's perspective is increasingly echoed by many Australian investors who are aware of the need for sustainability within their portfolios. With the Australian government placing stronger emphasis on sustainable finance through various policy frameworks, this creates a conducive environment for further growth in ESG-related investments, including within the bond market.Pro Visionary's approach involves a careful evaluation of ESG factors at every level of the investment process. By doing so, the firm seeks to provide investors with exposure to assets that not only offer solid returns but also contribute positively to societal outcomes. The firm has implemented stringent evaluation criteria for bonds that promote environmental sustainability and social responsibility, aligning with global ESG standards.While ESG-focused investments are still evolving in the fixed-income space, Pro Visionary believes that the momentum is only set to grow. "Incorporating ESG into fixed-income investments doesn't just align portfolios with values-it builds resilience. As regulatory frameworks tighten and consumer expectations shift, investment portfolios that ignore ESG risk lagging behind," commented White.As Australia's financial landscape adapts to this ESG wave, Pro Visionary remains committed to identifying fixed-income opportunities that align with both the financial goals and ethical standards of investors. Through ongoing research and an informed understanding of the global ESG environment, the company aims to support the transition to a more sustainable and responsible future, all while ensuring that risk-adjusted returns remain a priority for their clients.About Pro Visionary Pty LtdPro Visionary is an active investment manager in Australian and Global Equities, Credit and Fixed-Income. We focus on identifying quality investments to deliver consistent outperformances.Media ContactColin Watts - Director of CommunicationsE: media@provisionaryptyltd.comT: +61 2 5502 5020SOURCE: Pro Visionary Pty Ltd Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Sept 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In the first half of 2024, the restaurant industry faced significant challenges due to shifting consumer preferences, changing spending habits and intensified competition. The increasing cost of goods and fiercely competitive pricing have resulted in an overall decline in industry profitability, with several large-scale restaurants reporting losses. Despite this challenging environment, DPC Dash ("Domino’s Pizza China" or the "Company") (1405.HK) has leveraged these changes as a catalyst for growth, developing a new competitive edge focused on high quality-to-price ratios, allowing the company to flourish against prevailing trends.DPC Dash, Domino's Pizza's exclusive master franchisee in the China Mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, and the Macau Special Administrative Region of China, has successfully implemented its 4D strategy of Development, Delicious Pizza at Value, Delivery, and Digital. This approach has driven sustainable growth and profitability in the underserved Chinese pizza market in the first half of 2024, as reported in the company’s recently released interim financial report.In the first half of 2024, DPC Dash generated record-high revenue of RMB2.04 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 48.3%. This steady revenue growth reflects DPC Dash’s sustainable business model and resilient counter-cyclical strategy, which have significantly improved its profitability.The Company’s financial improvement is demonstrated by its positive adjusted net profit and net profit after tax. Adjusted net profit turned positive in the first half of 2024 to reach RMB 50.9 million, compared to an adjusted net loss of RMB17.4 million in the same period of 2023. The company also reported a net profit after tax of RMB10.9 million, a 24.6% year-over-year increase compared to RMB8.8 million of the same period of 2023, positively impacted by the fair value gain of approximately RMB119.3 million on convertible senior ordinary shares.Another testament to the company’s strong profitability is its same-store sales growth (SSSG), which compares the sales generated by same stores during the relevant period year-on-year. In the face of recent market challenges, it is extremely difficult to maintain positive SSSG momentum. DPC Dash has demonstrated its ability to deliver sustainable growth, achieving 28 consecutive quarters of SSSG, while continuing its expansion efforts.As a franchisor of Domino’s Pizza, Inc., one of the world’s largest pizza companies, DPC Dash leverages this global strength to execute its 4D strategy, which continues to drive the company’s success in the underserved China pizza market.DPC Dash has continued to execute its “go-deeper, go-broader” strategy, as DPC Dash added 146 stores and entered 4 cities in the first half of 2024. Total stores reached 914 across 33 cities as of June 30, 2024. This represents more than an eightfold increase in store numbers since the current management took over in 2017.  Newly-opened stores have been delivering exceptional performance. In the first half of 2024, revenue generated from new growth markets accounted for 61% of the total revenue, making new growth markets the Company’s main growth driver. Store numbers in the new growth markets exceeded 50% of all stores. At the beginning of May, DPC Dash expanded its presence by entering three new cities: Taizhou, Huizhou, and Jinhua in one week. The first stores in Huizhou and Jinhua both broke the DPC Dash record for daily sales. In June, DPC Dash celebrated the grand opening of its 900th store in Chengdu, Sichuan. As of July 31, 2024, DPC Dash held 28 of the top 30 positions for first 30-day sales among Domino's stores globally. In newly entered markets, DPC Dash continues to expand its presence with more stores opening, while maintaining strong performance in existing stores. Among 42 stores the Company opened in 12 new cities from the late December 2023 through the first half of 2024, 18 stores have already achieved payback. The Company is expecting a shorter payback period on new stores than previously, reflecting the efficiency of its expansion strategy.A McKinsey report identifies several key trends shaping consumer behavior, including a notable rise in engagement among younger consumers, especially in lower-tier cities where confidence remains relatively high. This demographic is more inclined to explore new dining experiences and local cuisines, providing restaurants with opportunities to innovate and attract this growing market segment. The newly-opened stores of DPC Dash in new markets have enjoyed great popularity, with people forming long lines at new locations. In response, DPC Dash actively suspended delivery services for selected new stores to cater to the high demand for in-store dining.Long queue in front of Domino‘s Pizza store in China MainlandDPC Dash has continuously innovated its product offerings and services at value to better serve customers’ evolving tastes and provide satisfying dining experience. Domino’s Pizza has established a global reputation for tasty pizza products and very innovative menus. The company introduces new stock keeping units (SKUs) every six to eight weeks, on average. In the first seven months of 2024, DPC Dash introduced three new pizza varieties and two new crust options, such as barbeque pork stuffed crust and coconut and pumpkin double decker.Now the menu boasts over 30 pizza varieties and approximately 20 crust options, with pizza sales contributing more than 75% of the total sales. DPC Dash recently launched the new Volcano crust, filled with oozing cheddar cheese magma and Oreo crumbs. This unique concept in the pizza industry has already garnered positive feedback and recognition from the customers.Volcano Crust from Domino’s Pizza ChinaAt the same time, DPC Dash has been offering value options on its menu with regular promotions on “Crazy Tuesday & Wednesday” and the “Mega Weeks”. Limited-time promotions partnering with popular brands cross sectors, such as Tencent Games and Hello Kitty, have also proven attractive to customers.Meanwhile, brand marketing activities have become more targeted and cost-effective as the company strengthened its brand through network growth and strong performance in newly-entered markets. The Company has continuously enhanced its offering of personalized rewards, improving both new customer conversion and existing customer retention. As of August 2024, DPC Dash’s loyalty program has surpassed 20 million members, nearly doubling from 10.9 million members in June 2023. The Company continue to drive customer engagement, attracting new customers by dynamically engaging them through multiple online channels.To cater to the surging demand, DPC Dash has set up central kitchens in Sanhe, Shanghai and Dongguan. In the central kitchens, the Company has already introduced automated machines to further boost production efficiency and management capability, as well as to improve delivery efficiency. The success of the 4D strategy execution is reflected in enhanced profitability metrics on both store and group levels. The store-level operating profit margin increased to 14.5% in the first half of 2024, up from 13.5% in the same period last year. The store-level EBITDA margin increased to 19.3% in the first half of 2024, up from 18.7% in the first half of 2023. At the group level, group adjusted EBITDA reached RMB233.4 million, representing an 83.7% year-over-year increase from 127.0 million in the first half of 2023. Accordingly, group adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 11.4%, nearly tripling from 3.9% in year end of 2021.In addition to serving consumers, DPC Dash remains committed to delivering long-term value to its shareholders. Only one year after its successful listing on Hong Kong Stock Exchange, DPC Dash has been officially included in both the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Connect Program, and has been selected to be a constituent stock for the Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index, effective in September. Reuters reported on September 27, "China stocks record best week since 2008." The New York Times stated, "The volatile Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong, which includes a range of companies with activities in Hong Kong and in mainland China, was also up 12.8 percent this week." DPC Dash's stock has experienced substantial growth since its IPO, increasing by over 20% in the past ten trading days as of September 27.DPC Dash has announced plans to open approximately 240 new stores in 2024, and will open its 1000th store in the fourth quarter of 2024. As of August 20, 2024, the Company has opened an additional 31 stores, with 29 stores under construction, and 21 stores signed, putting it on track to meet its full-year opening target. The company expects to open approximately 300 to 350 stores in both 2025 and 2026.The early months of 2024 have shown a remarkable 12.5% increase in foodservice sales, indicating a robust recovery in the hospitality sector, according to a report from McKinsey & Company. This surge reflects increased consumer confidence and a return to dining out as pandemic restrictions ease, suggesting that consumers are willing to spend more on experiences such as dining, which is crucial for the restaurant industry.Amid the attractive, growing market with its vast geographical scope and population, companies are striving for profitability and growth that requires more stable and resilient strategies. DPC Dash will continue to execute its 4D strategy in an efficient manner, aiming to deliver delicious pizza at value to customers, and sustainable long-term value for all stakeholders.

SYDNEY, AU, Sept 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SSLTrust, a leading global provider of digital certificates for public key infrastructure, has identified the APAC region as needing a new local issuing Certificate Authority.Verokey LogoVerokey, the new Australian Issuing Certificate AuthorityCurrently, in the APAC region, SSLTrust has been pushing international Certificate Authority products for Australia to the forefront, which has been welcomed by customers but with limited acceptance, mainly in terms of price. So launching a new Australian-based issuing Certificate Authority, Verokey, using the same infrastructure, has been very well accepted by customers to overcome that hurdle. Verokey has proven instrumental in fundamental security for Australian and Asia Pacific businesses and government entities while providing the best solutions at affordable prices. This success is in addition to SSLTrust's customer-centric approach to PKI solutions and their implementation.Unlike many other Certificate Providers in Australia and the Asia Pacific, we can provide customers with a high level of local support via phone, email, online chat and onsite assistance. We help customer manage all their Certificates through their very own feature-rich account while benefiting from the lower priced Verokey productsSSLTrust's Managing Director, Paul Baka, explains how this lets users have quality products to the likes of other Certificate Authorities but with an added level of quality support and better local pricing - a feature that's not otherwise readily available in Australia.Purchasing Certificates to secure networks, devices, websites, and more has historically been a significant headache for Australian organisations, with the costs constantly rising and exceeding allocated budgets. In the last two years alone, customers of the overseas-based Certificate Authorities have seen price increases upward of 50%. And when organisations weigh these against the benefits, they start to question the requirements of these higher-priced solutions. That is where Verokey helps by providing the same solutions and products (sometimes exceeding current offerings) while still keeping the prices affordable so organisations can maintain their security and meet budget limitations.Paulunderscores the company's unwavering commitment to meeting unique customer requests.
