Doubleview Achieves Initial 56% Scandium Recovery in First Metallurgical Test of Hat Deposit Flotation Tailings – Potentially the First Major Source of Scandium in N. America

Vancouver, BC, Feb 7, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview") is pleased to announce that its first attempt at recovering scandium in a sequential purification process has recovered 56% (fifty six percent) of scandium in tailings from its Hat Copper, Gold, Cobalt property. Scandium was recovered as a phosphate precipitate by treating flotation tailings extraction solution from metallurgical test work on Hat mineralization. The Hat property is located in the Golden Triangle region of Atlin Mining District, Northern British Columbia.

Cu Rougher 1st flotation stage

Bulk Cu-Co, 2nd Cleaner Flotation Stage

Precipitate

Scandium phosphate is a high value product that currently trades for approximately $35 per 1 gram lot, in comparison to gold which currently trades at approximately $60 per gram.

Earlier scandium extraction test work aimed at the recovery of scandium from Hat deposit flotation tailings demonstrated that it was possible to extract 90% of scandium to solution by employing a sulphate leach at elevated temperatures.

Test work has now moved into the scandium recovery-optimization phase, with sequential purification for the removal of iron and aluminium followed by precipitation of scandium as a phosphate product. Although 56% (fifty six percent) of scandium was recovered to a phosphate precipitate at the first attempt, test work to improve recovery and purity is continuing, including sequential purification, precipitate washing, phosphate purity, and recovery.

President and CEO Farshad Shirvani stated, "The discovery of a deposit with potential deliverables of scandium, cobalt, copper, and gold by Doubleview is a significant achievement for the company, its shareholders, and North America as a whole. Of particular significance is the potential for scandium, as the USA imports 100% of its scandium consumption. This landmark discovery has the potential to expand the use of scandium in a variety of applications, one of which is its ability to enhance the energy capacity, stability, and safety of nickel-metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries commonly used in electric vehicles and consumer electronics."

Mr. Shirvani further stated, "The integration of Scandium into aluminum alloys can lead to a stronger and lighter material than steel, which is essential for the automobile and aerospace industries. As the demand for energy-efficient vehicles continues to grow, the use of scandium aluminium alloy, with high percentages of scandium, provides a solution to the challenge of heavy energy consumption and limited infrastructure capacity. The shift towards ever lighter materials will require adoption by global industry of new techniques and materials."

Mr. Shirvani concluded by highlighting, "The discovery of this deposit has the potential to revolutionize various industries and provides a new opportunity for the use of scandium. This discovery has the potential to create a significant impact on the industry."

Further metallurgical testing for Scandium phosphate optimization and purification continues and updates will be provided as they become available.

Palladium One Expands West Pickle High-Grade Nickel Zone to 600 Meters, Tyko Nickel – Copper Project, Canada

TORONTO, ON, Feb 6, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSXV: PDM) (OTCQB: NKORF) (FSE: 7N11) (the "Company" or "Palladium One") is pleased to report the expansion of and additional high-grade drillhole intercepts from the West Pickle Zone massive sulphide discovery on the Tyko Nickel – Copper Project, in Ontario, Canada.

Highlights
– West Pickle mineralized strike length increased to over 600 meters, remains open to the east and west.
– New West Pickle Zone assay results include:
— 3.9% Ni, 2.5% Cu, 0.05% Co, 0.55 g/t Total Precious Metals ("TPM") (Pt+Pd+Au) over 2.0 meters of massive and semi-massive sulphides in hole TK-22-074
— Including 8.1% Ni, 2.8% Cu, 0.11% Co, 1.05 g/t TPM over 0.9 meters
– Property Wide Feeder Dyke / Chonolith geological model
— Successful first test returns wide interval of anomalous nickel, supports exploration thesis that east-west trending interpreted feeder dykes are mineralized (Hole TK22-076, located 2 kilometers West of the West Pickle Zone)
— RJ Zone, 2.7 kilometres east of West Pickle, previously retuned 85.4 meters of ultramafic hosted mineralization with Feeder Dyke / Chonolith breccia textures:
—- 0.5% Ni and 0.2% Cu over 85.4 meters in hole TK-16-002
—- Including 1.0% Ni and 0.2% Cu over 16.2 meters (see press release June 8, 2016)

President and CEO, Derrick Weyrauch commented, "This latest batch of drill results reinforces the high-grade nature of the West Pickle Zone. Visual results from hole TK22-117, the most easterly hole drilled to date on the West Pickle Zone, intersected massive nickel – copper sulphides (Figure 1 and 4) which has extended the zone to over 600 meters in length, and it remains open for further expansion both to the east and west.

"The anomalous nickel values over significant widths in hole TK22-076 is significant as they represent the first assays from the many interpreted Feeder Dyke / Chonolith structure on the 30,000-hectare Tyko Project. This mineralization style reinforces our interpretation that these structures potentially host additional nickel – copper discoveries.

"The 2023 exploration program is focused on ground truthing and drill testing these structures, with the intent of discovering additional wide zones of mineralization, such as the RJ Zone which retuned 85.4 meters of 0.5% Ni and 0.2% Cu (Hole TK16-002).

"The 2022 drill program consisted of 70 holes totaling 13,038 meters, of which 45 holes are pending assay results. The 2023 field season is currently underway, with a high-resolution magnetic survey having been completed. The survey was designed to refine the geometry of the interpreted feeder dykes / chonoliths across the Tyko project's 30-kilometer strike length prior to additional drill testing."

To date a total of 32 holes, totalling 6,766 meters have been drilled in the vicinity of the West Pickle Discovery. At present, West Pickle mineralization has been defined over more than 600 meters of strike length (Figure 3 and 4).

HKTDC: Hong Kong ready for business; Delegation arrives in Riyadh

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Feb 6, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – A delegation of business leaders from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), led by the city's Chief Executive Mr John Lee and principal government officials, has arrived in Riyadh to explore collaboration opportunities with the business community of Saudi Arabia.

Dr Sunny Chai, Chairman, Federation of Hong Kong Industries and Chairman, Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation; Mrs Betty Yuen, Chairman, HKGCC; Mr Darryl Chan, Deputy Chief Executive, Hong Kong Monetary Authority; Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman, HKTDC; Mr John Lee, HKSAR Chief Executive; Mr Horace Cheung, Deputy Secretary of Justice; Mr Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and Treasury; Mr Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development [L-R]

Several Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) were signed at the Investment Forum yesterday. These include Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) and Saudi Tadawul Group Holding Company.

The delegation paid a visit to THE LINE Experience exhibition to learn about the innovative urban designs of the futuristic city NEOM.

Over the past two days, the delegation discussed with Saudi government and industry leaders how Hong Kong can facilitate the Kingdom's strategic development via its role as a global financial hub and China's international gateway.

Riyadh is the first of three stops on this week-long mission to the Middle East, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council.

The 30-strong delegation includes senior executives from Hong Kong's financial institutions and regulator as well as major players in innovation and technology (I&T), sustainability and smart city solutions.

At a press conference followed by an investment forum and dinner officiated by the Saudi Minister of Investment H.E. Khalid Al-Falih and attended by some 300 Saudi Arabian guests yesterday, Chief Executive Mr John Lee, said, "Saudi Arabia is a strong economy of the Gulf region and a growing source of foreign direct investment. Driven by Vision 2030, the dynamic blueprint for the future, Saudi Arabia is destined to take its place as an economic powerhouse built on diversity, sustainability, and innovation and technology. Hong Kong has long been the Asia-Pacific region's multi-level bridge for foreign and Mainland Chinese businesses and investors. As our integration with the Mainland continues to deepen, so, too, do the opportunities for Hong Kong – and the economies and companies that work with Hong Kong."

Mr Lee was joined by three officials: Deputy Secretary of Justice Mr Horace Cheung, Secretary for Financial Services and Treasury Mr Christopher Hui and Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Mr Algernon Yau.

At the investment forum, H.E. Khalid A Alfalih said: "This visit comes on the heels of numerous historic visits between our two countries starting with the visit of President Xi in 2016 following which the ties between the two countries deepened. Through this collaboration we aim at further developing various sectors whether it be asset management, private equity, wealth management – or in fintech, which saw an exponential growth of 79 per cent between 2021 and 2022."

He added:" Saudi Arabia has the largest regulated capital markets in the region, with the largest stock exchange in the MENA region. Due to evolving trends we are also making efforts to strengthen global supply chains and have launched a dedicated global supply chain resilience initiative. This will be a great opportunity for China and Hong Kong-based companies to use the KSA as a platform for adding value to products customised for the Middle East region and beyond."

HKTD Chairman Dr Peter K N Lam said, "Saudi Arabia has an important role to play in the global economy, similar to China. And as a global financial hub, China's international gateway and a commercial hub for the Belt and Road Initiative, Hong Kong can facilitate opportunities to help drive development initiatives around the world. We are pleased to organise a delegation of Hong Kong business leaders to come and discuss collaboration opportunities – not only in our traditional sectors of finance and trade, but also in new areas in tech and innovation, smart city and sustainability solutions. Creating opportunities has been the work of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council for over 55 years, and I am hopeful that we can continue to help Hong Kong businesses play a part in the exciting growth of Saudi Arabia and the regional overall."

Other business leaders from Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia also exchanged views at the investment forum yesterday.

Additionally, at the press conference, Mr Darryl Chan, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the city's financial regulator, as well as Dr Sunny Chai, Chairman of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation and Federation of Hong Kong Industries, and Mrs Betty Yuen, Chairman of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, represented various sectors in Hong Kong, including finance, technology and smart city and sustainability development as well as business and professional services.

The delegation has met with key enterprises in Riyadh to exchange ideas and learn more about Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. They visited major institutions, such as the Saudi Stock Exchange and the NEOM exhibition.

As a two-way platform between China and the world and as one of the world's top financial centres, Hong Kong has been supporting businesses and investors worldwide to tap into the vast China and Asia market and has been playing a major role in the global financial system with its unique connectivity to China's market.

As part of China, but operating under an international system, Hong Kong provides special access to and from the mainland in the flow of capital, goods, technology and people, as defined in the country's national 14th Five-Year plan.

Hong Kong is also a commercial hub for the Belt and Road Initiative, a global development plan initiated by China, and part of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) – an area in Southern China earmarked by the Chinese government to become a powerhouse of capital, I&T and cultural exchange driving the country's development.

With its common law system, low tax regime, advanced infrastructure and connectivity and as a its world-renowned global trade and business hub, Hong Kong is well-placed to support businesses from all over the world to invest and grow.

Recently, the HKSAR Chief Executive announced in his Policy Address 2022 a wide array of incentives and measures to attract international strategic enterprises and investments to Hong Kong, particularly in areas such as life sciences, health technology, artificial intelligence and data science, financial technology, advanced manufacturing and new energy technology.

Several Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) were signed at the Investment Forum yesterday. These include:
– Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) and Saudi Tadawul Group Holding Company
– SenseTime and King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) (Letter of Intent)
– Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) and Riyadh Chamber
– Templewater Ltd, Bravo Transport Services Ltd and Wisdom Motors (Hong Kong) Ltd and Nesma Holding Ltd
– SenseTime and Sela Company (Letter of Intent)
– Hutchison and King Salman Energy Park (SPARK)

This evening, the delegation will travel to Abu Dhabi and then onwards to Dubai, to meet with senior government and business leaders of the United Arab Emirates.

FTX Trading Bankruptcy: Protecting Your Company’s Interests

NEW YORK, NY, Feb 2, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Zuber Lawler is representing entities who received investments from Alameda Research and FTX Ventures. Alameda Research and several other FTX-related entities have filed bankruptcy proceedings in Delaware. These multiple filings are all being administered under one matter, In re FTX Trading, USBC Case No. 22-11068.

Most first and second day motions have been heard and either have been granted or are currently pending. Things are moving forward.

On January 18, 2023, FTX debtors moved for an order authorizing and approving procedures for a sale or transfer of what they have termed as "de minimis assets."

FTX debtors define "de minimis assets" as investments and/or interests held by FTX debtors, including Alameda Research, in privately held companies, which (according to FTX debtors) can be easily separated from the debtors' core operations, will not disrupt the core operations, and will generate less value to the estate than other assets. FTX debtors state that the de minimis category includes approximately 185 investments made for $1 million and below, approximately 75 investments made between $1 million and $5 million each and approximately 40 investments made between $5 million and $25 million each.

Notably, FTX debtors state that they are in the process of a "strategic review" of the de minimis assets, including the potential for repurchasing of debtor interests by investees or other investors in these investments.

Although they have not identified these assets specifically, FTX debtors wish to have the court approve an established and expedited procedure for the sale/transfer of these types or category of assets, without the need of moving the court or getting court approval for each sale, but with the oversight of the Official Committee. Put in other words, they wish to get authorization to proceed with these individual sales "off line," and without the need of going through the motion procedure for each specific asset or asset group.

If Alameda Research or any other FTX entity invested in your company, that investment will likely be categorized as a "de minimis asset," subject to this motion, and will now be up for sale through the bankruptcy process. Through that process, you may be asked (compelled) to make public otherwise confidential information in order to facilitate the public auction or sale of those securities or assets. You may also be at risk of a competitor (or other unsuitable purchaser) buying an interest in your company, and in doing so, potentially obtaining other information and management rights. Even without such a sale of assets, you may now have questions around who you may need to provide information and notices to on an on-going basis, as well has who you may need to obtain consent from in order to take actions subject to restrictive covenants in your investment documents. The situation is even more complicated for issuers of SAFTs or other digital assets that may be subject to inconsistent regulation as a security (or not) across various jurisdictions (since the location of the purchaser may impact whether the SAFT/token issuer is subject to US securities law).

Zuber Lawler is in a unique position to provide the described representation. We have represented a large number of clients with operations across the entire scope of distributed ledger technology. Our clients include token issuers (fungible and non-fungible), digital asset platforms and providers of related services, as well as traditional companies (and government entities) who look to understand and enter the digital asset space. A large number of our clients are not domiciled in the United States and we are extremely familiar with the concerns these clients face. In fact several of our existing clients will be part of the ad hoc group. While we cannot make any promise of any particular result, we expect that we will be better positioned to provide the representation described above than any other firm in the United States.

If your company sold investment assets to Alameda Research or FTX Ventures, please reach out to Josh Lawler at Jlawler@zuberlawler.com to set a time for a short video conference to discuss specifics relating to your situation at no charge.

Drilling at Congress Gold Mine Project Returns as high as 14.9 g/t Gold over 1.5m

Vancouver, BC, Feb 1, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Casa Minerals Inc. (TSX: CASA) (OTC Pink: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the "Company" or "Casa") is pleased to announce the assay results of the initial exploration at its Congress Gold Mine Project in Yavapai county, Arizona, USA. Casa's work included compilation of historic data and drilling of ten holes with total length 6,828ft HQ Diameter. Results of the field program exceeded expectations, with all the drill holes intersecting the Niagara and Congress Veins extensions on the property and yielded several noteworthy gold intercepts and long intervals of strong gold enrichment.

Figure 1: Congress Gold Mine Project compilation map

Figure 2: Congress Gold Mine Project – Section 2 – 2'

Figure 3: Congress Gold Mine Project – Section 5 – 5'

The highest gold intercepted in phase one, 2022 drilling campaign:
– CCG-004 14.9 g/t over 1.5 meters, as part of a larger intercept of 3.5 g/t over 10.7 meters
– CCG-004 9.3 g/t over 3 meters.

Three distinct areas of gold potential have been identified, two of which were revealed by previous drilling and one is newly discovered, and named for convenience, Congress z1, z2 and z3, respectively. These results demonstrate significant exploration potential of the property.

The following map illustrates the identified and confirmed Congress z1, z2 and z3:

Figure 1: Congress Gold Mine Project compilation map
https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/153170_8eed1009d4d8f8cb_001full.jpg

Casa's diamond drilling program tested possible extensions of the formerly-productive Congress and Niagara vein structures and nearby areas. Cores were examined, recorded and sampled with the supervision of personnel from MineMappers, LLC, of Marana, Arizona and Mark Osterberg, ((PhD., P.G., Wisconsin), R.G. (Arizona), RMSME, a qualified registered consulting geologist in the state of Arizona.

Prior to sampling, cores were recorded, photographed and logged for rock types and structures, then halved by sawing: one half was submitted to an independent, ISO 9000 registered commercial analytical laboratory, with initial processing at the lab's Tucson, Arizona, facility and final analysis in Vancouver, Canada. The remaining half-core was retained in a secure storage facility on the property where it is available for further examination. Core handling procedures followed industry-standard QA/QC methods to ensure integrity of analytical data.

Selected gold intercepts are depicted in Table 1:
https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/Multimedia/Low_Table202302011.jpg

Casa's extensive database of Congress property information is from several sources, including public archives, records of previous operations and Dubois family records. Table 2 is a compilation of some of the significant gold intersections from those records. Data in this news release from earlier sources has not been reviewed or verified by a Qualified Person and should not be relied upon in any evaluation of the Congress Mine.

Selected historic gold intercepts are tabulated in Table 2:

(A complete historic mine plan and sections are posted on the company's website at https://www.casaminerals.com/elementor-784/historical-drillings-and-layouts )

The Congress gold mine operated at intervals from 1887 to 1992, with reported production of about 400,000 to 500,000 ounces gold by previous operators included Echo Bay Mines Ltd. and Malartic Hygrade. Casa Minerals Inc. owns ninety percent (90%) interest in the Congress gold mine from 40 feet depth and beyond, subject to a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (Arizona, USA). The property comprises 14 patented mining claims with area 260 acres and undivided one hundred percent of the 494.8 acres that Casa acquired by staking. In a small part of the property, Surface rights to depth 40 feet (9 m) in part of the property are held by a third party. Gold mineralization occurs with vein quartz and in areas of strong siliceous alteration in granite.

The business momentum of GenTwo and its subsidiary GenTwo Digital has progressively picked up since the company was founded 5 years ago in February 2018. The products issued on its platform recorded over USD 1 billion in new inflows, resulting in a surge in assets under services growth to USD 2.5 billion as of today, despite the challenging market environment in 2022.

The number of new products increased by 60% to a total of 900. This impressive growth underpins the ongoing high level of interest in alternative and digital investments among institutional clients around the world and Gen Two's expertise to provide flexible portfolio structuring for investors.

"We were able to broaden our customer base once again in 2022 nationally and are currently servicing clients in over 25 countries. The number of clients grew by almost 50%, even 100% on an international level," says Philippe A. Naegeli,Co-Founder, and CEO.

Patrick Loepfe, Founder and Chairman of the Board says, "A 2022 highlight was the extension of the offering for financial intermediaries to retail investors. This move will transform the market for alternative and digital investment products and marks another pioneering achievement for GenTwo."

The main focus of 2023 remains on the continuous improvement and build-out of the service platform and its further digitization and client-centric automation. Additionally, the company pursues its international growth strategy by further internationalizing its customer base, onboarding more financial institutions onto its platform, and growing its ecosystem for investors and innovators.
