Doubleview Gold Corp Provides End of 2023 Exploration Update at the Hat Polymetallic Project

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 30, 2023) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its 2023 exploration and drilling program at the Hat Polymetallic Project situated in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.

Key achievements of the 2023 exploration program:

Scope and Targets: The comprehensive program successfully covered all intended work programs and explored designated targets. Notably, this marked the largest work program to date at the Hat project.

Main Objective: The primary focus of the 10,500-meter diamond drilling exploration program was to examine the dimensions and characteristics of Copper, Gold, Scandium, and Cobalt mineralization within the Main Lisle Zone of the Hat deposit and its environs. The deposit remains open in all directions.

Sample Analysis: In the current season, 5,220 samples, weighing 25.5 tonnes, were shipped to ALS laboratories, a fully accredited and globally recognized facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Connecting Deposit Envelopes: A key objective was to enhance connectivity between the deposit envelopes of the Main Lisle deposit and surrounding volumes, creating a cohesive united mass.

NI 43-101 Maiden Resource Estimate: The final achieved and explored volume will serve as the domain envelope for the NI 43-101 maiden resource estimate, anticipated to be disclosed in Q1, 2024.

Budgeting and Cost Controls: Exploration expenses in NW, British Columbia have increased rapidly in recent years. Maintaining tight controls on costs was a key focus of management for the 2023 exploration season. The company drilled approximately 10.500 meters for an estimated %40 of the industry standard costs for a similar drilling campaign.

Farshad Shirvani, President, and CEO stated, “It has been a tremendous year for Doubleview Gold Corp. Accomplishing many goals for the Hat Deposit, our projections reveal significant potential for lateral and depth extensions of this copper-gold deposit, enriched with cobalt and scandium. Importantly, the drilling and exploration program adhered to our projected budget.”

Assay Results:

Assays are being received on a continuous basis and will be published as they are received and verified.

Doubleview maintains a website at www.doubleview.ca.

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.

Southeast Asia a Bright Spot in the Global Flexible Office Market in 2023 with TEC Centres in the Region Exhibiting Average Occupancy Rates of Over 90%

SINGAPORE, Nov 27, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The Executive Centre (“TEC”), the leading premium flexible workspace provider that serves more than 47,000 Members in 33 cities across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, has seen exceptional growth in Southeast Asia in 2023, with the momentum expected to carry on into 2024.

Led by client demand, TEC has added four new centres in Singapore, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City and Manila this year, with the latest addition in Manila on the 8th floor of Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower 2 which opened last month.

These new openings are backed by consistently high demand and occupancy rates of over 90% across multiple markets in the region in 2023. As of September 2023, TEC’s centres in Singapore and Manila are leading its portfolio at 95% and 98% occupancy rates, followed not far behind by Ho Chi Minh City at 91% and Jakarta at 81%. With these new expansions, TEC has added almost 1,200 workstations across these four key Southeast Asian markets in 2023, representing a 33% increase in workstation growth.

In Singapore, demand for office space is growing as multinational companies seek to relocate to the city-state and set up headquarters there to take advantage of Singapore’s status as a gateway city and key business hub. These include firms from the financial industry such as asset managers, private wealth managers, private equity firms and family offices, as well as technology startups from across the region that are seeking to move to more flexible workspaces which will allow them to downsize or upsize nimbly.

Office demand is also bolstered by the increasing “back-to-office” momentum in Singapore, as employers tighten hybrid working policies, with CBRE’s 2023 Singapore Office Occupier Sentiment Survey finding that 64% of companies are focused on increasing office attendance or improving work efficiency.

Despite the “back-to-office” trend, the way tenants use office spaces has irrevocably changed since pre-Covid days, as companies place greater emphasis on having access to a combination of purpose-built spaces including private offices for focused work, flexible seating, collaborative meeting rooms, and event spaces. 

In response to this increased demand for flexible seating, meeting and event spaces, TEC will be opening a new centre from the 45th to 47th floors at Singapore Land Tower in January 2024.

Yvonne Lim, Managing Director of Southeast Asia at The Executive Centre said, “We have done exceptionally well particularly in Singapore with a city average occupancy of 95% in 2023, at the same time, we are seeing robust demand for our upcoming new centre at Singapore Land Tower on Levels 45 to 47. TEC’s expansions are largely driven by client’s requirement and the inter-city network within SEA continue to look strong with clients having multiple presence with TEC SEA network.”

Yew Lee Announces RM5.7 Million Revenue for Q3

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 24, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Yew Lee Pacific Group Berhad (“Yew Lee” or the “Group”), a manufacturer of industrial brushes as well as trading of industrial hardware and machinery parts, today announced that the Group recorded revenue of RM5.7 million for the third quarter ended 30 September 2023 (“3Q FY2023”).

Managing Director of Yew Lee, Mr. Ang Lee Leong
Managing Director of Yew Lee, Mr. Ang Lee Leong

In 3Q FY2023, Yew Lee reported a revenue of RM5.7 million, compared to RM6.1 million in the same quarter of the previous year. This change is primarily due to variations in sales orders. Notably, the Group’s manufacturing business remained profitable, contributing positively to the overall financials. However, an overall slight loss after tax of RM0.1 million was recorded for this quarter, against a profit after tax of RM0.8 million in the corresponding period last year. This was largely due to challenges faced in the trading business segment, which offset the gains from manufacturing.

The revenue breakdown for 3Q FY2023 shows that the manufacturing segment contributed RM3.5 million, while the trading segment accounted for RM2.2 million. The manufacturing segment of Yew Lee demonstrated resilient performance, achieving an operating profit of RM0.3 million. In contrast, the trading segment faced some setbacks, resulting in an operating loss of RM0.3 million.

On a quarter-on-quarter basis, revenue rose to RM5.7 million in 3Q FY2023 from RM5.1 million in the previous quarter, an increase of 11%. This was attributed to a slight uptick in sales orders. The quarter’s loss after tax of RM0.1 million improved from a RM0.4 million loss in the preceding quarter, influenced by income tax expense and higher administrative expenses in the previous quarter, partially cushioned by a shift towards higher-margin products.

Mr. Ang Lee Leong, Managing Director of Yew Lee, stated, “While the rubber glove industry continues to be a significant sector for us, we are actively exploring new avenues for growth. Our commitment to diversifying our market reach and enhancing our operational efficiency remains steadfast. We are optimistic about the future and believe that our strategic initiatives will enable us to generate increased income and ensure Yew Lee’s resilience and long-term stability in a dynamic global market. In addition, our trading segment will endeavor to secure larger and more consistent plus sustainable contracts as part of our ongoing turnaround strategy.”

In line with the Group’s strategy to expand its market presence, Yew Lee is establishing a new subsidiary in Thailand, focusing on industrial brush manufacturing. This decision comes after careful evaluation of the Thailand market, where a stable demand for industrial brushes has been identified. The Group is investing RM9 million from its IPO proceeds for this venture, with RM5.5 million allocated for purchasing additional manufacturing machinery and equipment, and RM3.5 million for setup costs and working capital requirements. So far, an investment of RM1.2 million has been made towards this expansion. Yew Lee’s venture into Thailand is a strategic move to strengthen the Group’s market position and enhance its competitiveness in the Southeast Asian region.

As at 23 November 2023, the share price of Yew Lee stands at RM0.37, representing a market capitalisation of RM197.7 million.
