The launch event, set for 2:00 pm on 30th October 2023 at Pavilion Bukit Jalil’s Piazza, will be more than just a product introduction. Alongside electric motorcycle stunt performances, attendees will experience firsthand the prowess of the TX3000 and TX1800 models. The TX3000 boasts a top speed of 90 km/h and a range of 120 km on a single charge, while the TX1800 charges from 0-80% within just 1.5 hours. Both models epitomize modern convenience with features such as built-in Bluetooth, a dedicated mobile app, and more.

The collaboration between seasoned Indonesian brand United E-Motor and Artroniq Bhd is a testament to Artroniq’s strategic foresight. This partnership, formalized in September 2023, allows Artroniq to not only bring electric mobility to the Malaysian masses but also to integrate United E-Motor’s advanced proprietary technology and assembly processes, further strengthening Artroniq’s position in the market.

I’m confident that our partnership with United E-Motor will unlock unparalleled value for our investors and contribute to a greener future.”

With Artroniq at the helm of this introduction, Malaysian investors and consumers can anticipate a transformative impact on the country’s transportation landscape.

Given the synergy between United E-Motor’s legacy and Artroniq’s robust capabilities, the partnership is poised for exponential growth. Ventures into the manufacturing of electric motorcycle batteries, chargers, and the groundbreaking concept of battery swapping stations highlight Artroniq’s ambition and potential for expansive growth.

As at 27 October 2023, the share price of Artroniq is RM0.85, representing a market capitalisation of RM342.0 million.

HKTDC & UOB Research: Two-thirds of GBA firms adopt sustainable development

HONG KONG, Oct 26, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – About 65% of enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) have adopted green and sustainable development practices in business operations, and about 70% said they would consider using more of Hong Kong’s green products and services over the next two years, a research report by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and UOB revealed.

The HKTDC and UOB have jointly released a research report titled Sustainability in the GBA: Unlocking Opportunities and Empowering Growth. Photo shows Irina Fan (right), Director of HKTDC Research, and Brian Lam (left), Chief Financial Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer, UOB Hong Kong

The report, Sustainability in the GBA: Unlocking Opportunities and Empowering Growth, revealed that the top three green practices adopted by GBA enterprises include resource recycling, clean energy adoption and green office practices (notably the use of energy-efficient office equipment, paperless offices and online office systems). Among these enterprises which have adopted green practices, 98% reported positive impact on their businesses, in particular increased brand reputation and brand recognition as well as improved energy efficiency and cost reduction. Other positive impacts include improved governance of corporate compliance and risk control, as well as better chances of securing market and business opportunities.

The report also highlighted that GBA enterprises acknowledge Hong Kong’s significant advantages in green building technologies, green consulting services, green financial services and expertise in green sectors and advanced technology. The firms expressed a strong willingness to explore and adopt sustainable development services offered by Hong Kong.

Huge opportunities from growing green and sustainable practices in the GBA

HKTDC Research Director Irina Fan said: “As sustainable development has become increasingly important, GBA-based businesses have become ever more committed to implementing ESG-related strategies. Nearly all GBA business are looking to incorporate ESG into various business aspects, which translates into an average spend of HK$370,000 (US$47,000) per company in the next two years. Now, there are about 3 million enterprises in the GBA, this could mean a scenario of HK$1 trillion ESG investment. Much of which will likely be channelled into Hong Kong-based green partner businesses.

“With high regard for the sustainable solutions offered in Hong Kong (average desirability score of 8.9 out of 10), GBA enterprises are keen to look to Hong Kong-based green partner businesses to accelerate their sustainable practices.” She added: “About 70% of surveyed respondents considered to use or increase usage of Hong Kong’s green and sustainable solutions. This is a real vote of confidence in the strength and breadth of Hong Kong’s green resources.”

Brian Lam, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer, UOB Hong Kong, said: “We recognise the imperative need for GBA enterprises to incorporate sustainability practices into their business strategies. The report highlights the current insufficiency of resources, funds and unified standards towards sustainable development, which poses a challenge to the successful implementation of green transformation plans and achieving decarbonisation targets.

“UOB takes our responsibility to provide and channel capital to facilitate continued investments in sectors that are critical to the energy transition very seriously. With the growing demand for sustainable finance, our aim is to simplify access to sustainable financing for clients, strengthen their ESG capabilities and support them in the crucial task of transitioning their business models to reduce carbon emissions and seize new business opportunities. Together, we create a greater positive impact and drive sustainable progress.”

Growing emphasis on GBA green sustainable development

The report revealed that almost all (99.7%) of surveyed GBA enterprises planned to incorporate or increase the level of ESG elements in their operations over the next two years, demonstrating commitment to ESG practices. Moreover, more than 90% of GBA enterprises intended to increase or maintain ESG-based investments over the next two years, with 30% planning an increase and 64% maintaining current investment levels. GBA enterprises expected to allocate an average budget of HK$370,000 (US$47,000) to ESG initiatives over the next two years.

Insufficient experience, funding pose obstacles

However, GBA enterprises generally believed that a lack of experience (77%), cost pressures (67%) and an absence of unified standards (61%) were the key obstacles hindering the implementation of green sustainable development. Surveyed enterprises said the market lacked standardised guidelines and success stories. Many enterprises were concerned about significant upfront investments or difficulty in achieving short-term returns. Existing green standards were also relatively fragmented, with different standards in domestic and international markets, as well as significant industry differences, which discouraged enterprises interested in green transformation.

GBA enterprises look to Hong Kong’s green services

A majority of respondents saw Hong Kong as likely to provide a higher level of green-related services than many comparable mainland cities. Among the areas where Hong Kong was seen as a particularly strong performer were green construction technology, climate risk assessment to a global standard, design consultancy services, green financial services, and the provision of green technology. Most respondents felt that Hong Kong was home to a substantial pool of environmentally aware professionals.

In specific terms, about 70% of surveyed respondents considered to use or increase usage of Hong Kong’s green and sustainable solutions in next two years. More than 90% believed the city could help effectively accelerate green sustainable development within the region through the deployment of green technology (especially with regard to construction, energy efficiency and recycling) as well as via the greater availability of a variety of green financial products and services. A substantial number of respondents also indicated they were likely to use of a range of Hong Kong’s other green-related services, including green certification and carbon emission measurement (89%), green financial services (88%) and energy transition programmes (86%).

GBA enterprises are very keen to learn more with regard to the sustainable development services offered in Hong Kong, with an average desirability score of 8.9 out of 10. The top five preferred green products and services include utilising green applications provided by Hong Kong; engaging sustainable development roadmap planning and consultancy services; accessing green-focused professional talents/services and advanced technology; benefiting from ESG reporting, due diligence, ESG ratings and green asset valuation services offered by Hong Kong; and utilising green financial products and services.

The HKTDC-UOB survey was conducted in July and August this year through an online questionnaire completed by 300 leading enterprises in the 11 GBA cities. In addition, a series of in-depth interviews saw a broad cross-section of GBA industry professionals outline their views on Hong Kong’s green development capabilities and their own ESG implementation strategies.

Doubleview Announces South Lisle Zone Drill Holes Extend the Main Lisle Deposit for 120 meters

Vancouver, British Columbia–(ACN Newswire – October 24, 2023) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (GERMANY: A1W038) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce the inaugural drill results from the south extension of the Lisle Zone. Drill holes H057, H058, and H059 have expanded the Lisle Deposit by 120m to the south and increased the volume of mineralization that will be included in the resource estimate which is being prepared by an independent engineering group and scheduled for completion in Q1 of 2024. This zone also encompasses drill hole H067 announced in news release dated 17th of October, 2023. The polymetallic Hat project is located in the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.

Highlights:

Drill hole H058 of the returned assays of 0.49% copper, 0.18 g/t gold, and 33 g/t scandium over 125.8 meters. This intercept may be a continuation of the same horizon that was encountered in the main Lisle deposit’s richer parts. All drill holes of this zone returned greater than average assayed scandium values compared to all other areas the deposit yet.

the reported results of the 2023 season demonstrate that the Lisle Zone is not limited in this direction towards the south,
the Lisle deposit has an inner mineralization of the strongest Scandium values seen thus far on the project,
these drill holes extend the Lisle deposit by an additional 120m by 200m,
mineralization is open in all directions.

Farshad Shirvani, Doubleview’s president and CEO, commented “It is exciting to discover these new extensions to the south of the Lisle Zone that have added important dimensions to the deposit and indicate further potential in and to the south. The remaining 2023 drill holes will continue to explore this part of the deposit and we also note the strong contribution of the critical metals, copper, cobalt and scandium. The dimensions of the Hat deposit keep increasing and drilling has not found the limits.”

Mr. Shirvani continued “The 2023 drilling campaign continues to advance the Hat polymetallic deposit, and the total meters drilled this season now exceeds 9,000 meters. More results will be announced as they become available.”

Drill hole H-057 intercepted 139.1 m with 0.17g/t gold, 0.23g/t silver, 0.06% copper, 105.3 g/t cobalt and 37.6 g/t scandium, (1.10% Cu Eq). Drill hole H-058 intercepted 654m with 0.27g/t silver, 0.10g/t gold, 0.14% copper, 78.6g/t cobalt and 34.8g/t scandium (1.05% Cu Eq) and included 305.4m with 0.44g/t silver, 0.14g/t gold, 0.26% copper and 32.2g/t scandium (1.11% Cu Eq) and also 125.8m with 0.78g/t silver, 0.22g/t gold, 0.49% copper and 33.0g/t scandium (1.38% Cu Eq). The latter intercept appears to be a direct continuation of a higher grade part of the main Lisle Zone. Drill hole H-059 intercepted 421.7m with 0.18g/t silver, 0.12g/t gold, 0.05% copper and 32.6 g/t scandium (0.93% Cu Eq).

2023 Drill Season:

Doubleview’s goal for the 2023 drill season was to gradually increase the known deposit by strategically drilling new locations, such as the Buck Zone to add more value to the upcoming Q1 2024 resource estimate.

All drill holes in this as well as previous news releases (H054 – H059) have expanded the mineralized envelope of the Lisle Deposit. Table 1 is a compilation of significant intercepts; Table 2 includes drill hole data. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate vertical projections of various drill holes and the southern part of the Lisle Zone.

The students who participated in the “KWIH and TWGHs Study Tour at Shanghai Jiao Tong University 2023” expressed that the trip was rewarding and they gained a lot from it. The exchange activities helped them increase their understanding of Shanghai and provided them with a deeper insight into the operations and corporate social responsibility of Hong Kong-funded companies in Shanghai. They were inspired by this experience.

TWGHs Mrs Wu York Yu Memorial College Student: Leo Huang

Hong Kong and Shanghai feel quite similar to me as both cities have many skyscrapers. The past few days have been filled with a rich and tight schedule, allowing me to gain a better understanding of Shanghai.

TWGHs Li Ka Shing College Student: Janus Ho

The facilities at the Lui Che Woo Science Park have truly created a whole new world. The environment there was remarkable, and my visit to Shanghai Jiao Tong University provided me with a glimpse into the city’s progress and its exceptional educational standards. I genuinely treasure this opportunity and will humbly persist in learning and applying the knowledge I have acquired.

TWGHs Kap Yan Directors’ College Student: Wonder Wong

Apart from their business operations, KWIH also provides opportunities for young people to broaden their global perspectives. Dr Lui Che-woo not only focuses on business but also invests resources in the future, such as nurturing scientific talent. I find this to be very visionary.

Dr Lui Che-woo expressed his gratification, stating, “I am particularly delighted to have the presence of Hong Kong secondary school students and teachers from the ‘KWIH and TWGHs Study Tour at Shanghai Jiao Tong University 2023’, along with the teachers and students from SJTU, at the naming and inauguration ceremony of the Lui Che Woo Science Park.

The Congress mine is a shear zone hosted gold-silver deposit: low sulphide gold quartz veins occupy complex structural zones in coarse-grained gneissic granodiorite and pegmatite of Precambrian age. Gold values occur in association with fine-grained pyrite and, frequently, other sulphide minerals.

Most historic production was from the Congress and Niagara veins that are exposed on surface over more than 1060 m (3,500 ft) and 365 m (1200 ft). Both veins trend northwesterly and dip moderately to the north and were variously mined to several hundred metres from surface. Several other gold-bearing veins are referred to in archival documents but have not been investigated.

About Casa Minerals Inc.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties located in Canada and the USA. Casa owns ninety percent (90%) interest in the Congress gold mine (Arizona, USA). This historic high-grade gold producing mine has not been explored nor been in production since 1992. Additionally, the Company owns a one hundred percent (100%) interest in the polymetallic Pitman and Keaper properties (BC, Canada) and has an option to acquire a seventy-five percent (75%) interest in the Arsenault VMS Property (BC, Canada).

Doubleview Reports Strong Massive Sulphide Intercept Logged in Drill Hole H067

Vancouver, British Columbia–(ACN Newswire – October 18, 2023) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company or “Doubleview) is pleased to showcase a long intercept of massive sulphide mineralization in drill hole H068 at its Hat Project. The Hat polymetallic porphyry project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, has demonstrated that it contains several of the metals deemed as “critical metals” by the Canadian and American federal governments.

The accompanying photographs illustrate the character of the mineral zone. The long sulphide intercept will be transported under enhanced security protocols for analytical analysis. Assay results will be published in a subsequent news release upon receipt and verification. Further details, including collar coordinates and orientation, will be provided in the immediate future.

Drill hole H067 was collared 320 metres south of drill hole H034 and is directed to the projected south extension of the Lisle Zone. The strong sulphide mineralization appears to comprise sections of very strong chalcopyrite and pyrite, including about 2 metres of nearly massive chalcopyrite. [Chalcopyrite contains about 30% copper].

Further information and maps are being developed to demonstrate the southern extension of the Lisle zone. It is currently projected that the drilling will extend the deposit for another 450m by 340m towards the south while the deposit is open in all directions.

Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO, stated, “I am pleased to see that our modelling concept has been confirmed with drilling. I am also proud of our dedicated team, including our Tahltan Band members who put their utmost efforts into this season’s drilling campaign, which has been very cost effective and successful. We have drilled 1,500 meters in the past two weeks alone, and that has only been attainable due to the team’s hard work, preparation and efficient execution.”

The following photos depict the intersected mineralization (see this news release on the company’s website if the pictures are not visible).
