Doubleview Reports Strong Mineralization Extends Buck Zone of the Lisle Deposit Another 250m South-Southwest

Vancouver, British Columbia–(ACN Newswire – October 16, 2023) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce further assay results from drill holes H054, H055 and H056 at the Hat deposit located in northwest British Columbia. Drill hole H054 contains assays with a higher gold content of 0.43 g/t, when generally balanced in comparison with copper 0.32%, scandium 27.3 g/t and cobalt 136.9 g/t, with a 1.29% copper equivalent intercept** over 143 meters. Drill hole H054 has extended the Buck Zone within the Lisle Deposit for another 250m south-southwest. The Hat polymetallic porphyry project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, has demonstrated that it contains several of the metals deem as “critical metals” by the Canadian and American federal governments.

The assay results summarized in Table 1 are open to the south and southwest of the Hat mineralization complex.
The mineralization starts from near the surface and strengthens in mineral content at depth,
Gold and cobalt mineralization are of higher grades in comparison with copper towards the south and southwest of the Lisle Deposit,
Strength of all metals with increased depth is notable in all drill holes to date in the Buck Zone,
The Buck Zone within the Lisle Deposit currently covers an area more than 400m x 450m and is open to the north-northeast, south, southwest, and to depth,
The Buck Zone connects the West Lisle, Main Lisle and Southern Lisle zones with strong mineralization.

The gradual approach to increasing the Buck Zone’s dimensions is anticipated to add more value to the upcoming Q1 2024 resource estimate. All drill holes in this news release (H054 – H056) have expanded the mineralized envelope of the Lisle Deposit. Table 2 depicts the location of drill holes H054, H055 and H056.

Farshad Shirvani, Doubleview’s president and CEO, commented, “The ongoing drilling campaign continues to exceed all expectations and the Company will continue working as long as weather permits. The 2023 program is designed to increase the dimensions of the Hat Deposit with the intention, upon completion of the NI 43-101 Resource Estimate, of having the project recognized as containing an outstanding resource, with exceptional metals extraction and recoveries. All holes drilled in 2023 are expected to be included in the forthcoming resource evaluation.”

Mr. Shirvani continued, “The 2023 drilling campaign continues to advance the Hat polymetallic deposit, and the total meters drilled this season now exceeds 8,700 meters.”

“These exceptional drilling results have confirmed the potential of Target IV,” stated Stephen Burega, president. “The assay results received to date showcase substantial mineralization across 100% of the drill holes.”

Tom Drivas, CEO, said, “It’s very exciting to witness the PCH Ionic Clay project’s potential increasing through this Phase 1 drilling campaign with the average depth of mineralized zones increasing to 13 metres while consistently delivering extraordinary overall assay values which, in many cases, are from top to bottom of the hole.”

He continued, “Ionic Clay Rare Earths Deposits are usually found within the top 10-20m from surface; they are easier to mine, more environmentally friendly because they contain low or no radioactivity; exhibit simpler metallurgy therefore easier and cheaper to process; and contain good amounts of both the very valuable heavy and light magnet rare earths that are in high demand for cleaner electrification and use in a large number of high tech applications.”

The PCH Ionic Clay Project drilling has resulted in 17 holes with a weighted average value of 1,566 ppm TREO, which is comparable to, or surpasses, other well-known international deposits. “This initial batch of samples has revealed MREO that account for approximately 25% of TREO, producing notable overall values up to 1,189 ppm. We have identified high-grade values that are exceptional in terms of both width and grades,” stated Carlos Bastos, Brazilian Qualified Person and Geology Manager.

Target IV marks a significant milestone for Appia’s PCH Ionic Clay project, and the Company eagerly anticipates receiving further assay results from the SGS Geosol labs. “These results reaffirm our commitment to exploring the entire PCH project area which covers an impressive 17,551 hectares with a significant area still open to bluesky early-stage exploration, and we look forward to sharing more exciting developments in the near future,” commented Stephen Burega.

Background on the PCH Project

The PCH Project is located within the Tocantins Structural Province in the Brasília Fold Belt, more specifically, the Arenópolis Magmatic Arc. The PCH Project is 17,551.07 ha in size and located within the Goiás State of Brazil. It is classified as an alkaline intrusive rock occurrence with highly anomalous REE and Niobium mineralization. This mineralization is related to alkaline lithologies of the Fazenda Buriti Plutonic Complex and the hydrothermal and surface alteration products of this complex by supergene enrichment in a tropical climate. The positive results of the recent geochemical exploration work carried out to date indicates the potential for REEs within lateritic ionic adsorption clays and Niobium.

Reverse circulation (RC) drill holes are sampled at one metre intervals, resulting in higher average sample size of 5-25 kg. A small representative specimen was taken from each sample bag and placed into a chip tray for visual inspection and logging by the geologist. Quartering was performed at Appia’s logging facility using a riffle splitter and continued splitting until a representative sample weighing approximately 500g each was obtained, bagged in a resistant plastic bag, labeled, photographed, and stored for shipment.

The samples were sent to the SGS laboratory in Vespasiano, Minas Gerais. Despite the SGS Lab owning internal QA/QC, Appia has used its own control samples in each batch sent to the laboratory.

Quality control samples, such as blank, duplicate, and standard (CRM) were inserted into each analytical run. For all analysis methods, the minimum number of QA/QC samples is one standard, one duplicate and one blank, introduced every batch which comprise a full-length hole. The rigorous procedures implemented during the sample collection, preparation, and analysis stages underscore the robustness and reliability of the analytical results obtained.

All analytical results reported herein have passed internal QA/QC review and compilation. All assay results of RC samples were provided by SGS Geosol, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certified laboratory, which performed their measure of the concentration of rare earth elements (REE) analyses by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analytical methods.

Indonesia Investment Forum 2023: Sustainable projects attract English Investors

LONDON, Oct 13, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The Indonesia Investment Promotion Center (IIPC) London, in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) and the local representation of Bank Indonesia, once again hosted the Indonesia Investment Forum (IIF) 2023 in London, UK, on October 5, 2023.

Thirteen sustainable investment projects in sectors such as energy, industry, electric vehicles, tourism, infrastructure, transportation, mining, and digitization were presented during the business matching session at IIF 2023. These projects managed to pique the interest of approximately 20 investors from London and the surrounding regions.

Participating virtually, Minister of Investment/Head of Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia recognized the global economic uncertainty and slowdown, emphasizing Indonesia has maintained positive economic growth of 5.31% in the second quarter of 2023, with inflation remaining below 4%. This achievement is attributable to the significant contribution of investments, making Indonesia the second-largest investment destination in Southeast Asia.

“I invite our friends from the U.K. to be part of this development process. You have the technology, markets, and financial capabilities, while Indonesia possesses abundant natural resources, extensive territory, and market penetration potential worldwide. Come to Indonesia, bring your technology, and we will handle the licensing,” said Bahlil in his address.

Nurul Ichwan, Deputy for Investment Promotion at the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, participated as a panelist in a discussion titled ‘Powering Up: Advancing Sustainable Infrastructure, Financial Sustainability, and Investment in Indonesia.’ She discussed the progress and efforts of the Ministry of Investment/BKPM in advancing investment projects, especially in renewable energy, sustainable investment, and the development of the electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia.

“The IIPC London office serves as the main contact point for our British and European investor friends interested in our sustainable projects,” Nurul emphasized.

Several ready-to-offer sustainable investment projects presented by the Ministry of Investment/BKPM include the Electric Motor Industry for Electric Vehicles in Bekasi, West Java; Integrated Charging Station Facility in South Jakarta, DKI Jakarta; Solar Power Plants (PLTS) in Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan, and Lebak, Banten; as well as the Bioethanol Industry in Bojonegoro, East Java, with a total estimated investment value of USD 276 million.

Additionally, the project for the development of the Super Priority Tourism Destination (DPSP) Toba Caldera Resort by the Lake Toba Authority Implementation Agency (BPODT) was offered with an estimated investment value of USD 1.7 billion. Indonesian Ambassador Desra Percaya, Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo, and Minister of State for the Investment Security Unit Nusrat Ghani were also present and delivered speeches at the opening of IIF 2023, with the theme “Fostering Sustainable Growth Through Green Investment and Digital Transformation.”

Prominent speakers from both Indonesia and the UK discussed potential economic cooperation between the two countries, including Richard Graham, the UK Trade Envoy to Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and ASEAN; Lord Vaizey of Didcot, Chairman of the UK ASEAN Business Council; and Rino Donosepoetro, Chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce Indonesia. IIF 2023 was conducted in a hybrid format at the KBRI London office and was attended by more than 200 participants, including business leaders as well as senior banking and investment representatives.

According to data from the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, the UK has been the second-largest European investor in Indonesia in the last five years after the Netherlands, for food crops, plantations, and livestock (24%); mining (20%); food industry (9%); chemical and pharmaceutical industry (8%); and hotels and restaurants (7%), with a total investment realization of more than USD 1.75 billion.

Drill Hole Assays in the Newly Discovered Buck Zone Connects the West Lisle Zone to Main Lisle deposit

Vancouver, British Columbia–(ACN Newswire – October 10, 2023) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (GER: A1W038) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce assay results from Hat Project drill holes H049, H052, and H053 (Drill holes H050 & H051 were previously reported 06/010/23). Of special significance is drill hole H052 that intersected more than 500 meters with strong Copper and Gold Mineralization within which a 211.2 meter interval included 0.35 g/t Gold, 0.37% Copper with a total 1.33% Copper Equivalent**. Also particularly notable is an apparent increase in strength of all metals with increased depth. Cobalt assay results for drill hole H053 are among the highest ever reported for the Lisle Zone. Drill holes H052 and H053 are in the Buck zone connecting the western Lisle zone with the strong mineralization of the southern Lisle zone.

The reported drill holes cover a 150m x 260m area if projected to surface. The drill hole locations were carefully selected to gradually increase the Lisle deposit volume for the upcoming resource estimation, anticipated to be released Q1 of 2024. Table 1 shows assay intervals in detail and Table 2 provides information concerning drill hole locations. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the locations and distribution of mineralization. Drill holes H052 and H053 provide a link from the west part of Lisle Zone to its southern extension.

Farshad Shirvani, Doubleview’s president and CEO, comments that “The 2023 drill campaign has exceeded all expectations. These first pair of drill holes connect the newly discovered Buck zone with the Lisle zone, which until now had previously been viewed as two separate areas. It’s anticipated that this will add significantly to the size and value of the Hat deposit. Besides the consistently high values of scandium and the continuous numbers for copper, the results for cobalt in drill hole H049 are, as with the case in H053, some of the highest grading cobalt assays ever encountered at the Hat deposit. This underlines the project’s outstanding importance to potentially be supportive for Canada’s ambitious plan to tackle climate change and have an independent supply of critical metals.”

Mr. Shirvani continued “While work is continuing to prepare the resource estimation data package, we are steadily advancing our drill hole coverage southward to the nearly unexplored Hoey zone, where earlier surface work including hand trenching, showed strong copper, cobalt and gold mineralization.”

Currently the 2023 drilling campaign continues to advance the Hat project, and the total drilled length of this season exceeds 8,000 meters.

ACROMETA’s Life Science Incubator (LSI) Signs Agreement with Ho Bee Land subsidiary to operate Co-Working Laboratory

SINGAPORE, Oct 6, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – ACROMETA Group Limited (“ACROMETA”, or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), an established specialist engineering service provider in the field of controlled environments serving mainly the healthcare, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, research and academia sectors, today announced that its 70% owned subsidiary company Life Science Incubator Pte Ltd (“Life Science Incubator” or “LSI”) has entered into a Management Agreement (the “MA”) with HB Universal Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Mainboard-listed Ho Bee Land Limited.

The MA engages LSI to operate and manage a co-working laboratory centre at Elementum, One-North, a building in the heart of Singapore’s biomedical industry district. The MA is for an initial period of six (6) years with an option to renew the MA for a further six (6) years by mutual agreement.

The MA engages LSI to operate, manage, promote and market the co-working laboratory centre; and to provide management and consultancy services for the business. The proposed project will triple the size of LSI’s co-working laboratory space operations in Singapore. With the expanded space, the operations at Elementum will be able to attract companies that require larger Research and Development (“R&D”) space, as well as enable existing LSI customers who want to expand their R&D activities to do so.

The MA follows on the heels of LSI’s recent expansion of its co-working lab space business. On 6 April 2023, Acrometa announced to SGXNet that Life Science Incubator signed an MOU with a renowned German commercial property group to be the anchor tenant for its planned Brisbane co-working laboratory space project. On 21 March 2023, AcroMeta announced that it had signed an MOU with a Thailand industrial waste disposal company for the construction and operation of a laboratory for the testing and certification of solid waste and sludge. The construction of the laboratory would be done by Acrometa’s wholly-owned subsidiary Acromec Engineers, and LSI would operate the laboratory; with an option for joint ownership.

Mr Levin Lee Keng Weng, ACROMETA’s Executive Chairman, commented: “Biomedical sciences is an integral part of Singapore’s future economy with its focus on high value-add industries. Co-working laboratory spaces allows SMEs and startups to kickstart their R&D without incurring initial high CAPEX. There is a rising number of SMEs and startups needing co-working laboratory spaces with specialized infrastructure to conduct their R&D to bring their innovative products to the market. That is where LSI comes in.”

Mr Lee added, “Having a working partnership with Ho Bee Land, a well-known and established property developer, would solidify the LSI brand of co-working laboratory spaces. This will position us for international expansion of the LSI brand that we are planning, as there is demand for co-working laboratory space in major cities and industrial hubs globally.”

Directors’ Symposium 2023: Transform for a Better Tomorrow

Hong Kong, Oct 6, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – During the Directors’ Symposium 2023 of The Hong Kong Institute of Directors (“HKIoD”) recently held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, speakers from diverse industries expressed their vision and strategies to “Transform for a Better Tomorrow” to over 200 directors and corporate leaders in attendance.

Guest of Honour at the Symposium was the Financial Secretary, The Hon Chan Mo-po Paul GBM GBS MH JP. Speaking on the theme of the Symposium, he said: “Hong Kong’s medium to long-term future will be vested in how well we will transform ourselves for the better. … That requires us to look into and reinforce our own strengths, while proactively finding new points of growth to drive our economic momentum.” In updating the participants on government initiatives and policy plan, he summarised by saying, “We envision Hong Kong to be an international green technology and green finance centre.”

The Symposium featured in total nine speakers and six hosts in five talks and two panel discussions covering transformation in the digital era, an overview of the economic outlook, the global director perspectives, regulatory review and transformation for sustainability.

Speaking from the HKIoD perspective, Dr Christopher To, Chairman of HKIoD, noted, “In the midst of a waning COVID-19 pandemic, companies and boards of directors continue to face persistent challenges and long-term macro issues.” He cited that in the latest World Competitiveness study by the Institute of Management Development, Hong Kong’s global competitiveness has experienced a decline, with a slip to 7th place from its previous rank of 2nd. Similarly, digital competitiveness and talent ranking have both dwindled. On the other hand, Dr To noted that there are positive indications, such as Hong Kong’s improved standing in the Smart City Index at 19th place and its remarkable 3rd rank in the Sustainable Trade Index.

“To navigate these challenges and capitalize on emerging prospects,” Dr To opined, “hard work, agility, and adaptability are crucial. Notably, successful business transformations have yielded growth and financial turnarounds, as underscored in Innosight’s study of the ‘Top 20 Business Transformations of the Last Decade’ featured in the Harvard Business Review. The board of directors assumes a pivotal role in steering the company toward a brighter tomorrow. Preparation and a willingness to embrace transformation are essential for businesses to not only survive but thrive amidst adversity and seize new opportunities.”

In her speech, Dr Carlye Tsui, CEO of HKIoD commented: “For corporate transformation towards sustainability, the board itself needs to undergo a transformation first.” She cited the 2022-2023 Global Network of Director Institutes (“GNDI”) survey that sheds light on global directors’ perspectives for future development. Findings from this survey highlight that boards focusing on the next two years have identified critical areas for corporate success, including long-term strategy, business continuity and resilience, human capital, ESG matters, and digital transformation. “Furthermore, there are three major improvement areas that warrant attention: board and management dynamics, board performance, and board operation,” noted Dr Tsui.

“To ensure readiness for the next 3 to 5 years, the boards should bridge expertise gaps in areas such as cyber risk, digital innovation, global economics, geopolitical issues, and ESG. These are areas that should no longer be left to specialists and that should be addressed on the board agenda,” remarked Dr Tsui. The GNDI study highlighted that it is crucial to emphasize the need for board norms to evolve, including the utilization of directors with specific skills and an enhanced board evaluation process. Additionally, effective strategic dialogue between the board and management, improved analysis and decision-making through data analytics, and the incorporation of forward-looking KPIs are paramount. “Looking ahead to 2030 and beyond, the survey inspires us on the top actions for boards to prepare,” Dr Tsui supplemented. “These actions include expanding to encompass technology and sustainability, delivering on the interests of multiple stakeholders, adopting a purpose-driven and impact-oriented approach, promoting diversity, and dedicating equal time to both financial and non-financial goals.”

During the Symposium, a poll was conducted among participants on questions relevant to the theme. Significant findings from the participants included:

— 35% believe that Hong Kong’s economy next year will remain the same as this year, while 28% believe that it will be 30% better next year.

— 30% have started digital transformation and 25% are actively engaged in it.

— 49% are in good progress and 9% have achieved good results of business transformation.

— 35% boards are geared for the next 3-5 years and 33% are addressing priorities for the next 2 years.

— Regarding the most lacking board quality, 29% are in diversity while 27% are in continuing professional education.

— 78% feel able to raise challenges or ask questions when something is not right.

— On the ESG journey for a sustainable future, 42% have good strategy in place, while 13% have good achievements.

The 2022-2023 Global Director Survey focuses on “The Future of Board Governance”. The survey report is downloadable.

Palladium One Announces Multiple Drill Ready Targets on the Tyko II Nickel – Copper Project, Ontario, Canada

HIGHLIGHTS

Seven (7) multi-line, Electromagnetic (“EM”) anomalies have been identified by a Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic airborne (“VTEMmax”) survey conducted on the Tyko II Property.
- A 900-meter long EM anomaly that was not observed by a historic airborne survey due to a power line appears to be the northern extension of the Moshkinabi-Kejimalda Zone (1.17% Cu, 0.73% Ni, 2.4 g/t Pd, 0.2 g/t Pt).
- A 700-meter long EM anomaly located to the east of the historical Gionet Zone (2.46% Cu, 0.22% Ni).
Additionally, several single-line EM anomalies were also identified.
The historic copper – nickel – PGE showings noted above are associated with the Faries-Moshkinabi Mafic-Ultramafic complex and share geological similarities to the Tyko I Property.
Existing drill permits allow near term drill testing of new EM anomalies.

Toronto, Ontario–(ACN Newswire – September 28, 2023) – Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSXV: PDM) (OTCQB: NKORF) (FSE: 7N11) (the “Company” or “Palladium One“) is pleased to announce preliminary results from a VTEMmax survey on the Tyko II Property, part of the Tyko Nickel – Copper District (Figure 1).

“The addition of seven (7) new VTEM anomalies to our existing inventory of drill ready targets speaks to the large scale opportunity the Tyko District represents for shareholders. Soil sampling to ground truth the seven (7) VTEM anomalies is well advanced and drill permits are in hand to test five (5) of the seven (7) anomalies. The Tyko II project has many geological similarities to Tyko I and we look forward to receipt of additional results from the property.

“The recently completed VTEMmax survey is the most sensitive EM survey ever flown over the Tyko II property (Figure 2). The survey easily detected the historical Moshinkabi and Faries Lake Zones, but also detected new anomalies near the Kejimalda and Gionet Zones that had not been detected by previous airborne EM surveys. This speaks to the sensitivity of the VTEMmax system and its potential to identify targets that were overlooked by less sensitive historical EM surveys.

“The 2023 ground truthing is wrapping up and the Company is on track to begin drill testing in mid-October,” commented Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.

Targets: Magmatic Cu-Ni-PGE and VMS Cu-Zn-Pb

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. The Complex hosts the historical Moshkinabi-Kejimalda Zone with up to 1.17% Cu, 0.73% Ni, 2.4 g/t Pd, 0.2 g/t Pt in grab samples (Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines (“MENDM”) Mineral Deposit Index (“MDI”) 000000002357). The Moshkinabi-Kejimalda Zone lies along the interpreted basal sequence of the Complex and has limited shallow historical drilling for which the vast majority of holes have no reported assays. Significantly, the recent VTEMmax survey has identified an untested potential northern extension of the zone which was obscured from historical airborne surveys by a powerline crossing the northern part of the property (Figure 2).

The Gionet Zone with grab sample assays up to 2.46% Cu, 0.22% Ni (ENDM MDI 42F04SE00012) consists primarily of a series of mineralized, highly deformed and altered gabbro boulders with pyrite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite. The Gionet Zone has never been drill tested, and notably the associated VTEMmax anomaly is actually located immediately to the east of original showing suggesting that the best part of the Zone has yet to tested (Figure 2).

The world class Geco (“Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide”) VMS deposit is located approximately 15 km northwest of the Tyko II Property (Figure 1). 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 – lead mineralization.
