(TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the "Company or "Doubleview") is pleased to report that diamond drill coring at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit in 2023 has exceeded footages achieved in all prior years. Total coring has passed the 7,500 metre milestone and is continuing at full speed.

Doubleview's drilling and other activities are wholly focused on expanding our mineral resource by extending the mineralization laterally and to greater depths and learning more about the geology and metallurgy of what appears more and more, to be a deposit of considerable importance. We welcome the challenge of unearthing more of its unique characteristics and we look forward to sharing details of our progress in news releases and other media.

The Company, in addition to the remarkable drilling performance, has been particularly active in laboratory and resource estimation studies and is positioning itself for accelerated exploration efforts in the remainder of the field season. Substantial progress has been made in improving and enhancing our Hat Project facilities, particularly those related to camp infrastructure. We are happy to report that despite this being one of British Columbia's driest and most wildfire destructive seasons on record, we, with the total cooperation of our field crew, have avoided any fire-related shutdowns or incidents.

Doubleview has taken substantial steps to enhance our operational capacities and camp infrastructure during the ongoing exploration program to prepare for the anticipated expansion of our exploration activities.

Notably, a team of six archaeologists undertook extensive archaeological fieldwork, including shovel test studies. The results of this work will contribute to detailed archaeological reports, which will be submitted to the Archaeological Branch of BC and the Ministry of Energy and Mine and Low Carbon Innovation. The Company is pleased to report that the initial findings suggest no significant archaeological obstacles on the Hat Polymetallic project.

To ensure the integrity of our various activities, and in anticipation of greater levels of exploration, we have reviewed and revised our quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures and can confirm that our chain-of-control and other measures are working smoothly and satisfactorily.

Company announces it has granted incentive stock options to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company to acquire an aggregate of 1,450,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.35 (the "Options") in accordance with the Company's 10% rolling incentive stock option plan. The Options are exercisable for a five-year term expiring September 12, 2028, and will become fully vested immediately.

SKYX Files for a Mandatory Safety Standardization with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for Its Outlet Receptacle for Ceilings in Homes and Buildings

MIAMI, FL, Sep 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – SKYX Platforms Corp. (NASDAQ:SKYX) (d/b/a "Sky Technologies"), a highly disruptive smart platform technology company with 72 issued and pending patents in the U.S and globally and over 60 websites for lighting and home decor with a mission to make homes and buildings become safe and smart as the new standard, announced today that it has filed an application for a mandatory safety standardization with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for its ceiling outlet receptacle platform for homes and buildings.

In a market of hundreds of millions of installations, a mandatory standardization of SKYX's ceiling outlet platform, should it occur, would enable a robust, safer plug and play ceiling installation of light fixtures and ceiling fans without a need to touch electrical hazardous wires and would significantly reduce fires, ladder falls, electrocutions, injuries, and deaths due to hazardous electrical wire installations.

SKYX's code team is led by Mark Earley, former head of the National Electrical Code (NEC), and Eric Jacobson, former President and CEO of the American Lighting Association (ALA). As part of the mandatory application, SKYX's code team has submitted significant supporting data regarding hazardous incidents that occur due to electrical wire installations. The data includes fires, ladder falls, electrocutions, injuries, and deaths caused due to hazardous wire installations.

After years of rigorous standardization progress, SKYX's management and code team strongly believe that it has met the necessary safety conditions and has significant hazardous data support for a compelling case for its ceiling outlet receptacle to become a mandatory safety standardization for ceilings in homes and buildings.

In the past several years the Company's product was already voted into 10 segments in the NEC and since 2022 it has succeeded in achieving major additional necessary milestones for mandatory standardization, including voting approvals by U.S. standardization organizations ANSI / NEMA (American National Standardization Institute / National Electrical Manufacturing Association), as well as a vote approval by the NEC for the generic name WSCR (Weight Support Ceiling Receptacle) for its ceiling outlet receptacle.

The last significant NEC mandatory standardization approval for homes and buildings was for the GFCI (GFI) electrical wall safety outlet for Bathrooms and Kitchens to reduce and prevent electrocutions.

The Company's application included data regarding hazardous incidents from U.S. governmental agencies such as the U.S. Census Bureau, NFPA, OSHA, NIOSH, CPSC, and CDC.

An NFPA Report No. USS117 published in February 2022, "Home Fires Caused by Electrical Distribution and Lighting Equipment" provides evidence that not enough emphasis is placed on incorrect installation of lighting. The report noted that fires involving electrical distribution and lighting equipment caused an estimated average of 430 deaths per year in 2015-2019. Specifically, wiring, and related equipment accounted for 68% of these fires, 60% of the property damage and 42% of the civilian deaths and 53% of injuries.

SKYX's lead code team member Mark Earley, former head of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and former Chief Electrical Engineer of NFPA, said: "I truly believe that we have made a compelling case for a mandatory requirement for plug-and-play installations using the safe and robust weight supporting ceiling receptacle. We have gathered a significant amount of data on incidents involving lighting fixtures and ceiling fans using the existing wiring methods. This data includes a substantial number of hazardous incidents that include deaths and or injuries from fires related to wiring, falls from ladders, fixtures or fans that fell on individuals, including young children among other incidents. Many of these accidents could have been prevented using this safe and robust plug-and-play installation method. It is about time that the existing wiring installation method be replaced by a safe, robust method that reflects today's advanced but litigious world".

SKYX's lead code team member Eric Jacobson, former President and CEO of the American Lighting Association (ALA), said: "I am highly confident that our application to the NEC has all the necessary safety data aspects and information to support our case for a mandatory safety standardization approval. As part of our application, we intend to share our product for all manufacturers to benefit. As a world leading country, it is about time that we make our consumers, electricians, handymen, and business owners safer and more advanced by moving away from the old hazardous wiring installation method to a safer, and fast plug and play installation method."

About SKYX Platforms Corp.

As electricity is a standard in every home and building, our mission is to make homes and buildings become safe-advanced and smart as the new standard. SKYX Platforms Corp. (NASDAQ: SKYX) has a series of highly disruptive advanced-safe-smart platform technologies, with over 72 U.S. and global patents and patent pending applications as well as over 60 lighting and home decor websites.

CENTRESTAGE draws 7,700 buyers

HONG KONG, Sep 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Asia's premier fashion event CENTRESTAGE, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) with Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR)* as the Lead Sponsor, concluded successfully on Saturday. Extreme weather conditions temporarily suspended the fair on Friday, 8 September but the three exhibition days still attracted more than 7,700 buyers from 78 countries and regions visiting and making purchases. Notably, buyer numbers from the Middle East, Mainland China and ASEAN countries recorded significant growth, affirming the exhibition as a popular international platform for promoting and launching fashion brands.


The eighth edition of CENTRESTAGE brought together more than 240 fashion brands from 19 countries and regions, attracting more than 7,700 trade buyers to visit and buy.


HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Sophia Chong said: "CENTRESTAGE brought together fashion brands from all over the world and serves as an important platform for promotion, trade and exchange in Asia. We actively invited local and overseas buyers to visit the show, including well-known retailers and buyers from France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Indonesia, and more. Our goal is to assist local brands in entering the international market and expand their business footprint. CENTRESTAGE stays closely attuned to global trends and, in this year's fair, has infused a substantial amount of digital fashion and sustainable development elements. We also provided valuable platforms for fostering the exchange of ideas, joining forces with the industry to drive innovation."

85% of respondents named Hong Kong as their top choice for physical trade fairs

To gauge fashion industry outlook and product-trend views, the HKTDC interviewed 350 exhibitors and buyers in an on-site survey during CENTRESTAGE.

Hong Kong-designed fashion products were of the same quality as those in developed markets, 67% of respondents believed, while 85% of respondents named Hong Kong as their top choice for physical trade fairs. This reflects Hong Kong's significant position in the global fashion industry.

Most respondents were optimistic view on overall sales for next year, with about 60% of respondents anticipating growth in sales within the next 1 to 2 years, while 37% even expected an increase within six to twelve months.

As business travel gradually resumed, 30% of participants anticipated a return of business growth to pre-pandemic levels within a year, while 26% believed it may take a year and half.

The rise in demand in emerging markets and recovering consumer purchasing power were seen as key business opportunities this year, with approximately 45% of respondents expressing this view for each aspect. Simultaneously, more than 60% perceived the fluctuations of global economy as the major challenge.

The pandemic impacted business operations but also accelerated the widespread move of business to online channels. For 47% of respondents, half or more of sales/purchases over the past six months were conducted online. Moreover, 78% of participants anticipated half or more of their sales/purchases would take through online channels in the next two years. Of the respondents 36% named hktdc.com Sourcing as their top online trading platform used in the past six months.

Industry highlights the importance of sustainability

The survey revealed a growing emphasis on sustainable fashion; 74% of respondents agreed this would be prevalent in the industry this year.

CENTRESTAGE opened to the public on its final day. More than 30 fashion shows and events were organised throughout the fair, attracting enthusiastic participation from both industry professionals and the general public. HKTDC partnered with various organisations to host events promoting sustainable development in the industry. The fair also featured the participation of multiple local and international fashion brands that embrace sustainable practices.

CENTRESTAGE has successfully created business opportunities for exhibitors and buyers. Established in 2019, the Hong Kong sportswear brand ARTY:ACTIVE uses 100% recycled fibre. Through CENTRESTAGE, the brand has connected with customers from Mainland China in the past, providing clothing design services. It also successfully entered the Malaysian market through another HKTDC event. The brand returned to CENTRESTAGE this year and achieved satisfying results. Founder Gary Tsang said: "Our aim was to promote our brand and expand into the international market. We are pleased to share that among the buyers we met at the fair, eight buyers from Thailand, Korea, Cambodia and Vietnam are planning to place orders, resulting in a total business value reaching seven-digit Hong Kong dollars. We have successfully accomplished all the goals we set for our participation."

Rachael Spink, Senior Buyer from Etoile Group, UAE, visited the fair to source fashions for their five Etoile La Boutique outlets across the Middle East, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Palladium One Expands Its Tyko Nickel – Copper District by 8,620 Hectares, Ontario, Canada

TORONTO, ON, Sep 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSXV: PDM) (OTCQB: NKORF) (FSE: 7N11) (the "Company" or "Palladium One") is pleased to announce the expansion of the Tyko Nickel – Copper District, with the acquisition of the highly prospective "Tyko II Copper – Nickel – PGE" property, located approximately 10 kilometers north of the Tyko I (formerly "Tyko") property, and 15 kilometres east of the town of Manitouwadge, Ontario, Canada.

HIGHLIGHTS

– Property position expanded by 8,620 hectares. The new property ("Tyko II") is located 10 kilometers north of the main Tyko (now referred to as Tyko I) property and has been acquired through a combination of staking and two claim group purchases.

– Exploration potential:
— Historic grab samples suggest a strong potential for copper – nickel – PGE mineralization:
—- 1.17% Cu, 0.73% Ni, 2.4 g/t Pd, 0.2 g/t Pt (Kejimalda Zone)
—- 0.54% Cu, 0.11% Ni, 1.0 g/t Pd, 0.4 g/t Pt (Moshkinabi Zone)
—- 2.46% Cu, 0.22% Ni (Gionet Zone)
—- 6.70% Cu, 0.17% Ni (Faries Lake Zone)
— Multiple untested historic ElectroMagnetic ("EM") anomalies provide developed drill targets.
— Historic exploration has identified multiple copper – nickel – PGE showings which are associated with the Faries-Moshkinabi Mafic-Ultramafic complex and which share geological similarities to the Tyko I Property.

– Existing exploration drill permits and a network of logging roads allow for near term drilling.

"This property expansion bolsters the Company's nickel – copper strategy in a premiere mining jurisdiction and specifically in a highly prospective, relatively unexplored region, where it now controls 38,130 hectares. Tyko II brings an additional pipeline of drill permitted magmatic copper – nickel sulphide targets. The Tyko II project has many geological similarities to Tyko I with several untested historic EM anomalies. Prior to our high-grade discovery, the Smoke Lake zone also began as a historic untested EM anomaly. Just like Tyko I, Tyko II has seen surprisingly little historic exploration or even government mapping.

"Having completed the majority of the planned 2023 prospecting, mapping and soil sampling program, the Company is on track to begin drill testing new and existing targets in mid-October.

"With $14.5 million of cash on hand as of the end of Q2 the Company is well financed for our planned activities," commented Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.

Transaction Details

The Tyko II Property was acquired through a combination of staking (47 claims, totalling 994 hectares) and claim purchases (307 claims totalling 7,627 hectares) from local prospectors.

The claim purchases include aggregate consideration of:

– $100,000 cash,
– 2.3 million common shares of the Company as follows:
— 1.1 million common shares issued at Closing,
— 0.4 million shares issued 4 months from Closing,
— 0.4 million shares issued 8 months from Closing, and
— 0.4 million shares issued 12 months from Closing
– A Net Smelter Return Royalty ("NSR") in respect of 137 claims

Completion of the transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

Property Location and Description

The Tyko II Property is located approximately 10 kilometers north of the main Tyko I Property and roughly 15 km east-southeast of the town of Manitouwadge, ON, (Figure 1). The claim block encompasses magnetic anomalies associated with the Faries-Moshkinabi Mafic-Ultramafic Complex. The property is accessible via a network of all season logging roads.

Exploration History

The Tyko II Property area has seen limited government reconnaissance mapping programs dating as far back as 1932. In 1953 the world class Geco Copper-Zinc mine was discovered in the nearby Manitouwadge greenstone belt, 15 km to the northwest. Early geological mapping and mineral exploration in the area was focused largely on the Manitouwadge greenstone belt, to the north of Moshkinabi Lake, whereas Tyko II lies south of the lake.

The earliest organized exploration program in the Moshkinabi Lake area dates back to 1960's when Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd completed EM and Magnetic ("Mag") surveys, including seven reconnaissance drill holes. In the late 1980's Noranda Minerals Inc (Geco Division) ("Noranda") conducted further reconnaissance exploration consisting of 16 diamond drill along a northwest trend east of Faries Lake discovering substantial copper mineralization at the Faries Lake Zone. Noranda subsequently completed a large Digem airborne EM and Mag survey that covered the majority of the Tyko II and the northern half of the Tyko I properties, this EM survey also identified the anomaly which eventually resulted in the discovery of the high-grade Smoke Lake Nickel-Copper Zone on Tyko I, several EM conductors from this historic geophysical survey remain untested on the Tyko II property. Subsequent sporadic exploration south of Moshkinabi Lake identified multiple Cu-Ni-PGE mineral showings within the Faries-Moshkinabi mafic to ultramafic complex (Table 1, Figure 2).

Table 1. Historic Copper-Nickel Showings on the Tyko II Property

Geology Overview

The Faries-Moshkinabi Mafic-Ultramafic Complex is located along the southern edge of the Manitouwadge-Hornepayne Greenstone belt ("MHGB") (Figure 2). The Complex is part of the Wawa-Abitibi Terrane and lies at the northern boundary of the Wawa subprovince (Stott, 2011), it is intruded by tonalitic rocks associated with the Black-Pic batholith.

The Ontario Department of Mines was the first to document the occurrence of mafic to ultramafic rocks east of Faries Lake (Milne, 1968). However, it was not until Williams and Breaks (1989, 1990) of the Ontario Geological Survey that reconnaissance mapping outlined the extent of mafic to ultramafic rocks in the vicinity of Faries Lake and south of Moshkinabi Lake that the Faries-Moshkinabi Mafic-Ultramafic Complex was defined. The Complex is described as consisting of a layered suite of gabbro, leucogabbro, anorthosite, and peridotite overlain by thin lens of amphibolitized mafic metavolcanic rocks (see Figure 2).

The world class Geco ("Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide") VMS deposit is located along the western margin of the MHGB, approximately 15 km northwest of the Tyko II Property. From 1957 to 1995, the Geco Mine produced over 49.3 Mt of ore grading 1.85% Cu, 3.78% Zn, and 56.2 g/t Ag (Puumala et al., 2020); in addition, the satellite Willroy, Willecho, and Nama Creek Mines entered production of copper-zinc-lead-silver ore at various times during this period. The Tyko II property contains altered volcanics rocks with similarities to those which host the Geco Mine and thus is also prospective for VMS hosted copper – zinc as well and magmatic hosted nickel – copper mineralization.

Future Work

The Faries-Moshkinabi Mafic-Ultramafic Complex is associated with several Cu-Ni-PGE showings, making it a compelling target with similarities to the Company's Tyko I property. An airborne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic airborne ("VTEM") survey and soil sampling of historic EM anomalies is planned to commence shortly. A majority of the Tyko II property is also covered by existing drill permits which will allow drill testing by year's end.

Geology Overview

The Faries-Moshkinabi Mafic-Ultramafic Complex is located along the southern edge of the Manitouwadge-Hornepayne Greenstone belt (“MHGB”) (Figure 2). The Complex is part of the Wawa-Abitibi Terrane and lies at the northern boundary of the Wawa subprovince (Stott, 2011), it is intruded by tonalitic rocks associated with the Black-Pic batholith.

The Ontario Department of Mines was the first to document the occurrence of mafic to ultramafic rocks east of Faries Lake (Milne, 1968). However, it was not until Williams and Breaks (1989, 1990) of the Ontario Geological Survey that reconnaissance mapping outlined the extent of mafic to ultramafic rocks in the vicinity of Faries Lake and south of Moshkinabi Lake that the Faries-Moshkinabi Mafic-Ultramafic Complex was defined. The Complex is described as consisting of a layered suite of gabbro, leucogabbro, anorthosite, and peridotite overlain by thin lens of amphibolitized mafic metavolcanic rocks (see Figure 2).

The world class Geco (“Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide”) VMS deposit is located along the western margin of the MHGB, approximately 15 km northwest of the Tyko II Property. From 1957 to 1995, the Geco Mine produced over 49.3 Mt of ore grading 1.85% Cu, 3.78% Zn, and 56.2 g/t Ag (Puumala et al., 2020); in addition, the satellite Willroy, Willecho, and Nama Creek Mines entered production of copper-zinc-lead-silver ore at various times during this period. The Tyko II property contains altered volcanics rocks with similarities to those which host the Geco Mine and thus is also prospective for VMS hosted copper – zinc as well and magmatic hosted nickel – copper mineralization.

Future Work

The Faries-Moshkinabi Mafic-Ultramafic Complex is associated with several Cu-Ni-PGE showings, making it a compelling target with similarities to the Company’s Tyko I property. An airborne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic airborne (“VTEM”) survey and soil sampling of historic EM anomalies is planned to commence shortly. A majority of the Tyko II property is also covered by existing drill permits which will allow drill testing by year’s end.
