HKTDC welcomes plans for border re-opening between Mainland China and Hong Kong

HONG KONG, Dec 28, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) welcomes the upcoming plans to re-open borders between Mainland China and Hong Kong. Resumption of travel will rejuvenate the convention and exhibition sector, boosting economic activity and helping to accelerate Hong Kong's economic recovery.

A spokesperson from the HKTDC said: "Given the importance of economic and social connectivity between the Mainland and Hong Kong, the resumption of quarantine-free travel between Mainland China and Hong Kong will certainly be welcomed by many international and Mainland business people who have been waiting for this good news. The unimpeded flow of international and Mainland travellers will also benefit the convention and exhibition sector."

"In the past three years, the HKTDC has been organising physical and online fairs and conferences as well as support programmes to help companies continue doing business during the pandemic. With the lifting of international travel restrictions in Hong Kong in recent months, we have also seen a gradual return of overseas participants to our events. We believe more international and Mainland companies will come to Hong Kong to do business when quarantine-free travel resumes between the Mainland-Hong Kong borders. To help companies capture even more opportunities, we have lined up a full programme of business events from January onwards."

Flagship conferences and fairs in January to kick off the new year

The HKTDC will kick off 2023 with the Asian Financial Forum (AFF) and Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, Hong Kong International Stationery and School Products Fair, Hong Kong Baby Products Fair, and Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair (Special Exhibition) in January, with missions to overseas cities in February, and the Jewellery show and Filmart in March. The Spring trade show season will see several large-scale events including the inaugural InnoEX, Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) , Lighting Fair (Spring Edition), Houseware Fair, Gifts & Premium Fair in April and International Healthcare Week in May.

‘Switching On the SUN’ – Samaiden Officially Turns on First Power Generation Facility at Sunway Nexis

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Dec 23, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Samaiden Group Berhad (Bursa: SAMAIDEN, 0223), a clean energy solution specialist principally involved in engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and power, is pleased to announce that the Group's wholly-owned subsidiary, Samaiden Capital Management Sdn. Bhd.'s first solar investment project at Sunway Nexis has commenced operation on 23 December 2022.

Sunway Nexis Management Corporation Chairman, Mr. Teo Poh Heng[L]; Group Managing Director of Samaiden, Ir. Chow Pui Hee

Samaiden will operate and maintain the rooftop solar PV system with an installed capacity of 531 kilowatt-peak (kWp) for a duration of 20 years. Based on the generation of 12.5 million kilowatt hour (kWh) over the 20-year period, this can reduce approximately 8,400 tonnes of carbon emissions.

Group Managing Director of Samaiden, Ir. Chow Pui Hee said, "As part of the diversification plan for our Group, we are delighted to see the completion of this first investment project, in which the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) was signed with Perbadanan Pengurusan Sunway Nexis (Sunway Nexis Management Corporation) back in December 2021."

"This is a remarkable milestone for us as this facility will contribute positively to our revenue and cash flow on a recurring basis for 20 years."

Sunway Nexis Management Corporation Chairman, Mr. Teo Poh Heng said, "We must focus on the future of our planet and emphasize sustainability of renewable energy (RE) and Sunway Nexis is happy to partner with Samaiden as the solar PV investor as this will certainly help to raise awareness of RE and its benefits to the owners and tenants of the building. I must thank Samaiden for taking this bold initiative to invest in Solar PV for Sunway Nexis as this is in line with our nation's initiative on implementing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles in the workplace. It starts with wise and timely corporate decisions that has long-term repercussions for all concerned."

"With the recent announcement made by the Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change YB Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad on the surcharge of 20 sen/kWh to be imposed for industry medium voltage and high-voltage users including multinational corporations, we foresee that the solar PV system will be the best alternative for them to deploy in order to reduce their electricity bills," Ir. Chow noted.

Queensland Announces Sampling Results Averaging 2.65% Li2O from the Mia Li-1 Occurrence at Its Mia Lithium Property in Quebec, Canada

Vancouver, BC, Dec 21, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Queensland Gold Hills Corp. (TSXV: OZAU) (OTCQB: MNNFF) ("Queensland Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from surface sampling programs completed on the 86 square kilometre Mia Lithium Property (the "Property") in the James Bay area of Quebec, Canada, by Canadian Mining House, the vendors of the Property ("CMH"), prior to its acquisition by the Company.

Figure 1 – 2021 and 2022 Sample Summary

Figure 2 – Mia Lithium Property Regional Location

Table 1 – Results Table, 2021 and 2022 Samples

Highlights:
– 18 outcrop grab samples (from 2021 and 2022) confirm the Mia Li-1 occurrence with results averaging 2.65% Li2O.
– 3 outcrop grab samples from 2022 confirm the spodumene observations at the Carte 1879 occurrence with results averaging 1.65% Li2O.
– A trend of approximately 7km of unsampled pegmatite between the two mineralized occurrences is highlighted as a significant area to be followed up in 2023.

President & CEO Alicia Milne states, "We are pleased with the encouraging sampling results near the Mia Li-1 and Mia Li-2 occurrences which will provide valuable information to add to our 2023 exploration program."

2021 & 2022 Sampling Details

A total of 17 pegmatite outcrop grab samples were collected in 2021 by Services Geologiques T-Rex Inc. of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec ("SGT"), with the aim of verifying the Mia Li-1 and Mia Li-2 lithium occurrences (Figure 1, Table 1). The sample results confirmed the Mia Li-1 occurrence with five grab samples averaging 2.31% Li2O, but were not able to confirm the Mia Li-2 occurrence with two grab samples returning background lithium. One sample was collected 700 metres east of the Mia Li-1 area with 2.73% Li2O (herein named MIA 3). Additionally, nine samples were collected south of Lac Miakadow to test a coarse-grained granitic rock type that is outside of the main trend and returned background lithium.

A follow-up sampling program was conducted in fall 2022, with nineteen pegmatite outcrop grab samples collected by SGT for CMH (Figure 1, Table 1). Thirteen samples were collected in the Mia Li-1 area and further confirmed the occurrence with an average grade of 2.79% Li2O. Additionally, three samples were collected in the Carte 1879 occurrence and for the first time verified spodumene at this location with the results averaging 1.65% Li2O. Three samples were collected from a pegmatite occurrence, outside of Figure 1 and returned only background levels of lithium.

Collectively, the sampling from 18 outcrop grab samples at the Mia Li-1 occurrence (5 in 2021 and 13 in 2022) have an average grade of 2.65% Li2O.

About the Mia Lithium Property

The Property is comprised of 170 mineral claims, located 62 km East of Wemindji Community in the Eeyou Itschee Territory, James Bay, Quebec. The lithium mineral showings are located approximately 10 kilometres from the nearest highway.

The Property geology is part of the Yasinski Lake area, identified by narrow greenstone belt slivers, belonging to volcanic rocks and related sediment the Yasinski Group and pierced by syn-tectonic tonalite and granodiorite suite. The Property is located in the western extremity of this geological area, covering various lithologies and favourable structures, known to host spodumene bearing pegmatites. The southern half of the Property covers a northeast limb of the Vieux Comptoir granite and a concordant intrusive body described as a spodumene granite on SIGEOM, the Quebec provincial government's geomining information system: https://sigeom.mines.gouv.qc.ca/signet/classes/I1108_afchCarteIntr.

Historical work by Main Exploration Company Ltd. in 1959 (GM10200) reported several spodumene-bearing pegmatites on the Property and mapped an 8.3 kilometre-long trend of discontinuous pegmatite intrusions. SIGEOM lists nine metallic deposits directly on the Mia Lithium property including two for lithium, namely Mia Li-1 and Mia Li-2. Carte 1879 is listed as a spodumene mineral deposit as no assays were recorded for it.

The westernmost mineral showings Mia-Li1 and Mia-Li2 were sampled in 1997 by Quebec government geologists and assays returned grades of 0.47% Li2O and 2.27% Li2O respectively. Numerous pegmatite intrusions have been recorded along the 8.3 kilometre long trend but were never been followed up for their lithium potential. The 1959 report also details that the pegmatite dykes are as much as 100 feet (30.5 metres) in width and are commonly zoned, with spodumene crystals described as being as much as 2 feet (0.61 metres) in length.

About Queensland

Queensland Gold Hills is Canadian mineral exploration company currently advancing exploration of the 86km2 Mia Lithium Project in the James Bay area of Quebec, Canada, as well as two highly-prospective gold projects located in the historic goldfields of Queensland, Australia: the Big Hill Gold Project and the Titan Project which collectively cover 110 square kilometers in the Talgai Goldfields of the broader Warwick-Texas District and host 54 high-grade historical gold mines.

Snow Lake Lithium Corrects the Record and Confirms Postponed Meeting Date for January 17, 2023

MANITOBA, CANADA, Dec 21, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Lithium Ltd. (NASDAQ:LITM) ("Snow Lake Lithium" or the "Company"), today corrects the record in response to misinformation perpetuated by the dissident group comprised of Kushkush Investments Pty Ltd (Alexandra Discretionary Trust), M + T K PTY LTD (MTK SUPERANNUATION FUND), Delaware IR LLC, Benjamin Abraham Fogelgarn, Nikola Najdoski, Yukor Mipoz Pty Ltd, Ozzi Pty Ltd, Deerhunter Investments Pty Ltd, and Nova Minerals Limited (collectively, the "Dissidents").

The Dissidents have announced a purported meeting of the Company's shareholders to take place on December 23, 2022. This meeting is invalid and will not be recognized by the Company. The Dissidents' improper attempts to hold a shareholders meeting as well as their repeated false statements regarding management compensation and ongoing initiatives at the Company are unfortunate and serve only to mislead the markets to the detriment of shareholders.

As explained in the Company's press release dated December 14, 2022, the annual general and special meeting of the Company's shareholders is now scheduled for January 17, 2023 (the "Meeting"). The Meeting was postponed by the Company's board of directors, in accordance with applicable law, as a result of concerns that the integrity of the voting process was at risk given inadequate disclosure from the Dissidents, issues with the manner in which the Dissidents solicited proxies, and a new assessment being conducted by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission with respect to an individual believed by the Company to be a joint actor of the Dissidents.

The Company again reaffirms that no meeting of shareholders will take place until January 17, 2023 and that any meeting of shareholders the Dissidents purport to convene prior to that time will be invalid, as will be any business purportedly conducted thereat.

Philip Gross, CEO and Chairman of Snow Lake Lithium, commented "There will be only one meeting at which shareholders will have the opportunity to support either current management or the Dissidents, and it will be held on January 17, 2023. We urge all shareholders to ignore any further attempts by the Dissidents to cause confusion about when and where the Meeting will occur and the issues that will be decided thereat. We also call on the Dissidents to work with management to ensure appropriate disclosure and proxy solicitation procedures are in place ahead of the Meeting, in accordance with applicable law, to prevent any further delays or erosion of shareholder value."

In light of the Company's concern with the proxy solicitation process, the Company is encouraging all shareholders to carefully review any proxy they have signed and to revoke any proxies inadvertently signed. As further disclosure is made, shareholders will continue to be entitled to revoke proxies or change their votes. If you have any questions related to proxies, voting instruction forms, or voting of your shares, please contact:

This year's forum draws a number of policymakers and business leaders to share their views, including the following three eminent keynote speakers:

HKTDC Export Index 4Q22: Hong Kong exports expected to grow 5% in 2023

HONG KONG, Dec 15, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) projects that Hong Kong's exports will grow 5% next year – a recovery from the 6% decline this year. HKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan said: "Hong Kong's exports will gradually regain growth momentum amid the receding pandemic, easing of COVID-19 restrictions and resumption of cross-border land transportation."

HKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan (R) and Assistant Principal Economist (Greater China) Alice Tsang announced the HKTDC Export Index for the fourth quarter of 2022 and export forecast for 2023 at a press conference today (15 December)

The latest HKTDC Export Index survey shows that significantly more exporters indicated businesses were no longer suffering from pandemic-related problems (up 10.6 percentage points from the previous quarter to 32.7%), with progress made towards resolving the challenge of high transportation costs and logistics bottlenecks.

Yet, more respondents said buyers haggled over prices (25.7%, up 9.3 percentage points) and reduced order sizes (40.1%, up 5.0 percentage points). Most respondents said they expected sales next year to decrease (49.4%) or remain on a par with sales this year (28.3%). "Lingering geopolitics, coupled with the risk of global stagflation, has dampened consumer sentiment and business confidence," Ms Fan explained.

Recessions risks

The risks of an economic slowdown or recession in major markets (36.2%) and difficulties in cross-border travel (21.1%) have become exporters' key concerns. In response, most said they would develop new products (50.0%), stabilise cash flow (34.6%) and cut costs (30.5%) in the coming year. Other business strategies to be adopted included lowering minimum order quantities, increasing the use of e-commerce for sales and purchases as well as enhancing marketing, promotional or business matching activities.

"High inflation and high interest rates will weaken purchasing power and consumers' desire in the European and American markets. Meanwhile, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has become the bright spot for the city's exports. Local exporters should also pay more attention to the opportunities in the Mainland China market. Product-wise, toys and timepieces related to smart and intellectual property (IP) will have higher chance," Ms Fan said.

Sentiment edges down

The HKTDC interviewed some 500 Hong Kong exporters in mid-November for the survey to gauge business confidence about near-term export prospects. Respondents come from six major industries – clothing, electronics, jewellery, machinery, timepieces and toys. Readings above 50 indicate a positive sentiment, while below 50 is negative.

The HKTDC Export Index dropped 3.1 points from the previous quarter to 29.7. "The uncertainties led by slowing global demand has affected exporters' sentiments," said HKTDC Assistant Principal Economist (Greater China) Alice Tsang.

Machinery, watches outperform

Ms Tsang added that machinery (38.3, up 3.4 points) was the most upbeat sector, followed by timepieces (36.8, up 3.0 points), while jewellery recorded a sharp fall of 13.4 points to 30.8. Other sectors such as toys (28.9, down 8.1 points) and fashion (23.8, down 7.4 points), also dropped significantly.

It is worth nothing that all major markets recorded declines. Exporters have more confidence in Asian countries, with Japan topping the table at 47.2, followed by Mainland China (44.4) and the ASEAN bloc (43.5). They, however, remained less optimistic about the EU (40.4) and the US (40.2) markets, as persistent inflationary pressures and the likelihood of recession were set to hamper demand.

Growth in Asia

In the first 10 months of 2022, Hong Kong's total exports fell 4.4% over the same period last year. This was mainly due to pandemic disruption on cross-border trade flows between Mainland China and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, the city's exports to key major Asian markets saw double-digit growth, as the intra-regional supply chain expanded. For instance, Hong Kong's exports to the ASEAN bloc increased 12.6% year-on-year, while they surged 15.0% and 13.5% to Taiwan and Korea, respectively.

However, Hong Kong's exports to the US showed no growth and shipments to the EU fell 2.9% during the same period, as aggressive central bank monetary tightening, high energy and food inflation as well as the lingering Russia-Ukraine conflict dampened consumer and business sentiment.

New products, new opportunities

Looking ahead, it is expected that toys exports will benefit from new 3D live-action games, and other peripheral products derived from film, TV and video games. Household electrical appliance exports will also pick up next year, as many restaurants, hotels and offices resume normal operations.

New products, such as robot vacuum cleaners and sound-activated light switches, also appeal to consumers. Moreover, smartwatches with more advanced health and wellness functions, such as electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor and blood oxygen readouts are becoming more popular.
