Hong Kong Dinner in London returns after 4-year hiatus

London, Sept 21, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – After a four-year absence due to the pandemic, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) once again organised the annual Hong Kong Dinner in London to celebrate Hong Kong-UK ties and promote business opportunities and growth globally.

Speaking at the Hong Kong Dinner in London, HKTDC Chairman Dr Peter K N Lam said that the HKTDC looks forward to strengthening ties between the UK and Hong Kong business communities in the years ahead.

Hong Kong and the UK have long shared strong bilateral economic and business relations. In spite of the disruptions of the past few years, the partnership remained strong, with the UK becoming Hong Kong’s second-largest trading partner in Europe in 2022.

With this dinner, the HKTDC, also aimed to reaffirm Hong Kong’s position as a leading international finance, business and investment hub and gateway between Mainland China and the UK and beyond.

At the dinner, Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, delivered his opening remarks to some 400 business leaders from the UK and Hong Kong: “Hong Kong’s fundamental strengths continue to position it as the go-to platform for UK businesses to access the vast China and Asia markets. Hong Kong is a key city in the rapidly growing Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The HKTDC will continue to help UK businesses succeed in Asia by connecting them with arising opportunities in the region.”

The dinner’s guest of honour Mr Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR, remarked: “In the past few years, the business communities in the UK and Hong Kong have faced many global challenges. As Peter noted, our bilateral trade is solid. And we’re still home to more than 650 UK companies and thousands of UK expats – most, if not all, of them happy that business, and rugby, are back in Hong Kong. That, I’d say, speaks well of our traditionally strong cultural ties and long-standing people-to-people bonds.”

Mr. Paul Chan, the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR, welcomed UK businesses, consultants, and professionals to participate in the infrastructure development of the Northern Metropolis and a large-scale reclamation project at Kau Yi Chau.

Mr. Chan reiterated that Hong Kong’s singular one country, two systems principle remains firmly in place. Additionally, Hong Kong has introduced financial services and innovation and technology initiatives aimed at driving the city’s economic future. Hong Kong will also press ahead with innovation and technology (I&T) development by actively strengthening collaboration with sister cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. More innovative policies will be taken forward together to spur the development of the Northern Metropolis as an I&T hub. In particular, there is promising prospect for green tech and green finance.

The Hong Kong Dinner in London has been a long-standing tradition, taking place annually since 1983.

Guests at this year’s event included Mr Martin Barrow, Director of Jardine Matheson Holdings Ltd; Mr Colin Bell, Chief Executive Officer of HSBC Bank Plc; Tan Sri Dato’ David Chiu, Chairman of Far East Consortium International Limited; Dr Jonathan Choi, Chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce; Mr Jack So Chak-kwong, Chairman of the Airport Authority Hong Kong; Baroness Dunn, DBE, Honorary President of the Hong Kong Association; Mr Ian Galbraith, Group Board Director-Strategy of Mott MacDonald; Mr John Greenwood, Chief Economist of the International Monetary Monitor; and Dr Gerard Lyons, Board Member of Bank of China (UK).

They also included Lord Mountevans, Chairman of The Baltic Exchange Ltd; Lord Paul of Marylebone, Former Director of Caparo Limited; Minister Wang Qi, Minister of The People’s Republic of China; Mr Michael Thomas, Former Attorney-General of Hong Kong; Mr Barnaby Swire, Chairman of John Swire & Sons Ltd; Mr Christian Salbaing, Deputy Chairman of Hutchison Whampoa Europe Ltd; Sir Jonathan Symonds, Chair of GSK ; José Viñals, Group Chairman of Standard Chartered PLC; and Lord David Wilson, Former Hong Kong Governor.

Doubleview Reports the Exploration Model and 2023 Diamond Drilling Targets at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit

Vancouver, British Columbia–(ACN Newswire – September 18, 2023) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to report that this season’s exploration drilling at its Hat polymetallic deposit has been successful in extending the dimensions of the Lisle Zone. Drilling is continuing to systematically increase the deposit envelop, and infill parts of the exploration model where drill hole coverage had been lighter.

Note, for discussion purposes and to refer to areas shown in the accompanying drawing (Figure 1), the newly-named “Buck Zone” lies between Main Lisle Zone that has been drill tested since its discovery in 2014 and its west extension; the “Feeder Zone” refers to the newly discovered south extension of the Lisle Deposit.

Recent drilling indicates that the Buck Zone, as shown, has dimensions of approximately 430 metres by 540 metres, whereas the Feeder Zone extends the deposit approximately 400 metres south and appears to be at least 500 metres east-west, bringing the total dimensions of the Lisle zone to about 1,450 metres (north-south) X 1,400 metres (east-west). Core samples are being analysed, relevant sample data will be reported when received, verified and compiled.

Randomly Selected drill core mineralization photos of the Buck Zone connecting the Main Lisle Zone and West Mineralization.

New Study Shows Threat to Philippine Consumers From Piracy Sites Remains Greater Than Ever

MANILA, Sep 15, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA), with Dr Paul Watters of Cyberstronomy, have released a new report, "Consumer Risks from Piracy in the Philippines", that once again highlights the possible dangers Filipino consumers face when accessing pirate sites.

The report found that Filipino consumers visiting pirate streaming sites are 21.66 times more likely to be infected with malware compared to mainstream sites (with a verifiable detection rate of 10%(1)). When visiting pirate torrent sites, Filipino consumers are 16.66 times more likely than mainstream sites to be infected with malware (with a verifiable infection rate of 18%). Those consumers impacted can be infected with some of the most serious malware types, such as trojan horses that could be used for lateral movement and remote access by sophisticated attackers.

The "Consumer Risks from Piracy in the Philippines" report builds off a 2022 report by Cyberstronomy, "Time to Compromise", which looked at malware risks in Asia-Pacific and found that a typical user visiting a pirate site could be infected by ransomware, several trojan horses, and other Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) within 42 seconds on a Windows machine and within 1 minute and 18 seconds on an Android device. The results of the 2022 report supported the hypothesis that there is a nexus between piracy and malware infections, where site operators generate significant revenue from allowing malicious ads to be placed on their sites. Malware can in turn gain access to consumer PCs and mobile devices, and all of the data held in storage, but also access to banking login details and other sensitive logins(2).

Matt Cheetham, General Manager of CAP, noted, "Evidence continues to mount that far from being a victimless crime, piracy can victimize consumers." Cheetham also noted that it is more timely than ever that the site blocking legislation recently introduced into the Senate by Senators Estrada and Villar passes quickly. "We look forward to the successful passage of site blocking legislation in the Senate that will allow the Philippines to both protect its consumers from online harm posed by pirate sites and grow its economy," said Cheetham.

(1) In addition to the relative risk calculations, researchers verified that 10% of visits to pirate streaming sites resulted in malware infection.
(2] Some malware infetions are also relatively benign for consumers, and during any particular sampling period the malware detection rate and relative risk may fluctuate due to random variation.

TANAKA Establishes Production System in China for Fuel Cell Electrode Catalysts

TOKYO, Sep 12, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Koichiro Tanaka), which operates an industrial precious metals business as a core company of TANAKA Precious Metals, announced today that it has signed a technical assistance agreement with Chengdu Guangming Paite Precious Metal Co., Ltd., an affiliated company in China, in the area of fuel cell electrode catalyst manufacturing technologies.

Electrode catalysts for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEFCs)

As part of the agreement, production equipment will be installed at the plant of Ya'an Guangming Paite Precious Metal Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Chengdu Guangming Paite Precious Metal, with plans to start full-scale production in the summer of 2024. The companies also plan to start production of fuel cell electrode catalysts for the Chinese market by the end of 2025. As a member of TANAKA and with the leading share of the global market for fuel cell electrode catalysts, TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo aims to use this agreement to meet the growing domestic demand for fuel cell electrode catalysts in China.

TANAKA's Fuel Cell Electrode Catalysts

TANAKA's FC Catalyst Development Center, within its Shonan Plant, is currently developing and manufacturing electrode catalysts for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEFCs) and polymer electrolyte water electrolysis (PEWE). The company sells highly active, highly durable platinum catalysts and platinum alloy catalysts for PEFC cathodes[1], highly CO-tolerant platinum alloy catalysts and OER catalysts[2] for PEFC anodes[3], and iridium oxide catalysts for PEWE anodes.

PEFCs are used in applications such as fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and residential-use fuel cells (ENE-FARM), with their use expected to expand in the future to also include buses, trucks, and other commercial vehicles, forklifts and other material handling vehicles, heavy construction machines, robots and other industrial machines, and large stationary equipment. Compact, lightweight, high-output PEFCs employ a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to generate power, which will make them important devices for the global environment of the future.

One major issue facing the full-scale use of fuel cell batteries is the cost of the platinum they use. TANAKA has been researching precious metal catalysts for more than 40 years, resulting in the development of catalysts that use smaller amounts of precious metals while achieving high performance and high durability. By studying new carrier materials and catalyst post-processing methods and producing more active metal species, the company is currently developing catalysts that are even more suitable for use in fuel cells.

Trends in the Global Fuel Cell Market

In China, government policy continues to drive the development of hydrogen energy and FCVs as strategic industries. The Chinese government is implementing a range of support measures to promote research and development and the expanded use of fuel cell battery technologies. It is also driving the development and adoption of FCVs through subsidies, tax incentives, and other efforts. With other measures, including the development of hydrogen supply infrastructure in cities and along major traffic routes, the country's fuel cell market is expected to grow even further going forward.

In Europe and the United States as well, governments are promoting zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs)[4]. In the EU, as part of the Fit for 55 package of climate change measures adopted by the European Union in April 2023, a bill was adopted to require new passenger vehicles and small commercial vehicles to be zero-emission, in principle, from 2035. (The sale of new vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines will only be accepted after 2035 if they use synthetic fuels (e-fuels)[5].)

Doubleview Surpasses 7,500m This Season Diamond Drill Coring at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit

Vancouver, BC, Sep 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (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.

Geo., a consulting geologist, and Doubleview's Qualified Person with respect to the Hat Project as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has reviewed, and approved the technical contents of this news release. He is not independent of Doubleview as he is a shareholder in the company.

Cautionary Note: Although a mineral resource estimation is currently being prepared by an independent engineering firm, no mineral resources have been estimated at the Hat Property and there is no assurance that further work will result in the Lisle Zone, or other zones if present, being classified as mineral resources.
