VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cambria Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: CAMB; OTCQX: CAMVF) (“Cambria” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce new assay results from the ongoing infill drilling program at the Premier Mining Complex (the “Premier Gold Project” or “PGP”), located near Stewart in northwestern British Columbia. Results from four diamond drillholes totalling 657 metres are reported herein. Highlight intervals include:
98.56 g/t Au over 8.2 m (incl. 794.00 g/t Au over 1.0 m) in hole SC26-271422.62 g/t Au over 4.4 m (incl. 93.80 g/t Au over 1.0 m) in hole SC26-27103.75 g/t Au over 20.0 m (incl. 19.95 g/t Au over 1.0 m) in hole SC26-27104.55 g/t Au over 10.6 m and 2.32 g/t Au over 30.0 m in hole SC26-2719 “High gold grades over potentially underground bulk mineable widths at the Silver Coin Deposit makes this area a priority for underground development in the spring of 2027. Our team has outlined a strong geological model of a multi-phased epithermal gold system with multiple, wide mineralized domains, several of which are open for expansion.” said Robert McLeod, President and CEO of Cambria Gold Mines. “Silver Coin is a key deposit bringing both tonnes and grade to the hub-and-spoke complex we are building to support the Premier Mill. We are very encouraged by these results as we look towards restarting production
Results reported in this press release are the first 2026 infill drilling results from the Silver Coin Deposit, located five kilometers north of the Premier Mill with access via an existing haul road. Mineralization consists of quartz breccias with infilling and overprinting veins of gold-bearing base metal sulfide mineralization. The quartz breccia zones form both vertical and flat lying domains at Silver Coin, with the highest grades related to the presence of visible gold within wider zones of quartz-breccia and vein hosted sulfide mineralization.
The northern portion of the Silver Coin deposit was mined in the 1990s by Westmin and Tenajon Resources by underground longhole stoping. Cambria’s approach to modelling the Silver Coin deposit is based on the operational data and history shared from Robert McLeod’s cousin, Bruce McLeod, who led the exploration, development and mining programs done at Silver Coin in the 1990s. The southern extension of this area is a focus of Cambria’s ongoing infill drilling campaign. Material from Silver Coin, combined with high-grade from the Premier Deposit, is expected to provide the initial feed for Cambria’s 2,500 tonne per day Premier Mill during the restart of mining operations, while the construction of the Red Mountain Deposit is completed. See the October 5, 2026 news release titled “Cambria Gold Mines Announces Development and Construction Update at Red Mountain and Premier Gold Projects…” for more information on the Company’s strategy and ongoing progress as it works toward a planned restart of the Premier Mill.
Results from over 14,000 metres of drilling at Silver Coin are expected over the next several weeks and will help to inform an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Feasibility Study targeted for completion in H1 2027. Cambria anticipates infill drilling to continue through 2026 and into 2027, with a planned second phase of underground drilling commencing in early 2027.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 13, 2026) - Myriad Uranium Corp. (CSE: M) (OTCQB: MYRUF) (FSE: C3Q) ("Myriad" or the "Company") announces that it has agreed to acquire the Los Altares Uranium Project in central Chubut, Argentina ("Los Altares" or the "Project"). Consideration is $300,000 in cash and 1,571,268 common shares of Myriad (each a "Share") at a deemed price of $0.4455 each.
Highlights
District-scale land package: Approximately 55,000 hectares across 23 properties in Argentina's Cerro Solo uranium district, central Chubut Province.Nearby uranium deposits: The Project is located in the Cerro Solo uranium district, near CNEA's Cerro Solo deposit, UrAmerica's Meseta Central deposit and the historical Los Adobes Mine. Mineralization on these properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Los Altares Project.ISR assessment: Previous interpretations place the prospective sandstone horizon approximately 150 to 200 metres below parts of the East District, which provides an exploration and testing rationale. No hydrogeological, permeability, metallurgical or other technical work has been completed to determine whether any mineralization discovered could be amenable.Extensive historical drilling: Approximately 12,500 metres of drilling is understood to have been completed across the Project, including 37 reverse-circulation holes reportedly drilled by Maple Minerals Exploration and Development Inc. on the Arroyo Perdido North claims. Myriad will be compiling existing exploration data to develop an exploration plan. The Qualified Person has not verified the drilling totals, locations, procedures, analytical methods or results, and the information should not be relied upon as demonstrating mineralization on the Project.Permitting head start and low holding costs: Four of the East District properties are fully granted mining concessions with approved Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). These are Arroyo Perdido Norte 1, 2 and 3, and Arroyo Perdido Sur 1. Seven additional properties hold approved EIAs and are advancing through title registration.Strategic shareholder base: The transaction brings Green Shift, whose largest shareholder is Mega Uranium (TSX: MGA), onto Myriad's shareholder register.Strategic jurisdiction: Argentina is pursuing uranium self-sufficiency for its nuclear reactor fleet, and U.S.-Argentina cooperation on critical minerals continues to deepen.Myriad's CEO, Thomas Lamb, commented: "The acquisition of a 100% interest in Los Altares continues Myriad's strategy of acquiring projects with low up-front and ongoing costs and strong leverage to the uranium price. Upon closing, we will own 55,000 hectares in what is arguably Argentina's most important uranium district, on strike with Cerro Solo, one of the country's largest uranium deposits, and near the historical Los Adobes mine.
Los Altares includes granted concessions, approved EIAs and historical drilling records that we intend to obtain, compile and evaluate. We will report material historical information only after it has been reviewed by a Qualified Person. The depth of the prospective sandstone horizon provides an exploration rationale, but additional technical work would be required to determine whether any mineralization discovered on the Project could be amenable to in-situ recovery.
The transaction also indirectly brings leading uranium sector participants onto our shareholder register via Green Shift and its largest shareholder, Mega Uranium. We're very pleased to deepen these strategic relationships, which we believe could assist us in unlocking value across our portfolio."

About the Los Altares Uranium Project
The Los Altares Project consists of 23 mining properties totalling 55,013 hectares in central Chubut Province, Argentina. It lies within the Cerro Solo uranium district, flanking the CNEA-held Cerro Solo deposit to the east and west. The project lies within the San Jorge Basin and has two parts. The East District includes the Arroyo Perdido and Perdido claim blocks, and the West District includes the Condor 1 and Pichiñán claims.
District-scale geological setting. Uranium mineralization in the Cerro Solo district is hosted in fluvial sandstones and conglomerates of the Cretaceous Chubut Group, which were derived from the underlying Jurassic volcanic basement. The Cerro Solo deposit occurs in the basal Los Adobes Formation. Previous interpretations place this stratigraphic horizon approximately 150 to 200 metres below parts of the East District claims. Regional structures associated with mineralization at Cerro Solo have been interpreted to extend toward the Los Altares claims. These geological and structural similarities provide an exploration rationale but do not establish that mineralization is present on the Project or that any mineralization discovered would be amenable to ISR.
Neighbouring deposits. The East District lies a few kilometres east of two significant deposits.¹
Cerro Solo is held by Argentina's National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA). It is reported to contain 4,420 tonnes U, equivalent to approximately 9.7 million pounds U₃O₈, in Reasonably Assured Resources under the IAEA classification system (NEA Red Book 2026). This estimate is not a mineral resource under NI 43-101. The qualified person has not verified the estimate, and mineralization at Cerro Solo is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Los Altares Project.Meseta Central is held by UrAmerica. Its NI 43-101 technical report discloses an Inferred Mineral Resource of 27.9 million tonnes grading 310 ppm eU₃O₈, containing 19.1 million pounds eU₃O₈ at a 200 ppm cut-off. The estimate is reported in UrAmerica's technical report prepared by Pedley (2013). The qualified person has not verified this information, and mineralization at Meseta Central is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Los Altares Project.¹ The Cerro Solo figure comes from CNEA as reported in the NEA "Red Book" (NEA (2026), Uranium 2026: Resources, Production and Demand, OECD Publishing, Paris, https://doi.org/10.82155/p81b-p514.). It uses IAEA resource classification and is not a mineral resource under NI 43-101. The Meseta Central estimate comes from UrAmerica's NI 43-101 Technical Report (Pedley, 2013).
The East District also surrounds CNEA's Arroyo Perdido prospect. CNEA is reported to have completed drilling that identified anomalous radiometric readings in the basal Los Adobes Formation. The qualified person has not verified the source data, drilling information or radiometric results, and this adjacent-property information is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Los Altares Project.
Historical production. CNEA mined the Los Adobes and Cerro Cóndor deposits by open pit in 1977-79 and processed the ore by heap leaching at the nearby Pichiñán plant. These remain the district's only uranium production to date.
Historical exploration on the property. Approximately 12,500 metres of historical drilling is understood to have been completed on the Project. Before the relevant interests were acquired by Mega Uranium in 2006, Maple Minerals Exploration and Development Inc. reportedly drilled 37 reverse-circulation holes on the Arroyo Perdido claim block. Exploration holes in the north of Arroyo Perdido deposit show a violent upwelling of gas CO2 together with zippeite as a secondary uranium mineral suggesting an oxidation environmental and lixiviation of uraninite and consequent migration (Benítez et al., 1979). Myriad will be compiling existing exploration data to develop an exploration plan. The Qualified Person has not verified the drilling totals, locations, procedures, analytical methods or results, and the historical information should not be relied upon as demonstrating mineralization on the Project.
Tenure, permitting and access. The 23 properties comprise three registered Exploration Permits ("Cateos") - one granted and two in due process; and twenty Exploitation Permits ("Manifestation of Discovery") - four granted and sixteen in due process. Four of the East District properties are fully granted mining concessions with approved Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). These are Arroyo Perdido Norte 1, 2 and 3, and Arroyo Perdido Sur 1. Seven additional properties hold approved EIAs and are advancing through title registration. Chubut's current mining framework restricts open-pit methods but supports the development of ISR, according to a resolution issued by the Ministry of Hydrocarbons in the Government of Chubut (Resolution No. 08/2025 MHC issued on April 11, 2025). Highway 25 provides access from Trelew, about 300 km to the east, to Paso de Indios, a serviced town with grid power. From there, gravel roads and farm tracks reach the claims across flat to gently rolling terrain.
Transaction Details
The acquisition of Los Altares is by way of a share purchase agreement dated as of October 9, 2026 (the "SPA") with Green Shift Commodities Ltd. (TSXV: GCOM) ("Green Shift"), pursuant to which Myriad will acquire from Green Shift all of the issued and outstanding shares of Buenavida Metales S.A. ("Buenavida"), a company incorporated and registered in Argentina. Under the transaction, Myriad will acquire ownership of Buenavida, which holds the mineral claims and other assets comprising the Project, to Myriad. The Project will be subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") in favour of Green Shift, half of which (1%) Myriad may repurchase for $1 million. Myriad will guarantee Buenavida's obligations under the royalty agreement.
When issued, the Shares will be subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"). The deemed issue price per Share of $0.4455 is the volume weighted average trading price of Myriad's common shares on the CSE for the 10 trading days preceding the effective date of the Agreement. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur on or before November 13, 2026, subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the CSE, if and as required, and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Premier Inn owner Whitbread (WTB.L) on Tuesday backed its five-year turnaround plan and recommended shareholders vote against activist investor Corvex Management's demand for a board seat.
Britain's largest hotel operator is defending a strategy that includes job cuts and the closure of branded restaurants, against Corvex, which last month escalated its campaign by demanding a seat on the board.
The US-based hedge fund dropped its earlier push for an outright sale in September, saying it would join the board "with no preconceived notions and no predetermined agenda — only a commitment to maximizing risk-adjusted value for all shareholders".
In April, Whitbread CEO Dominic Paul unveiled plans to shut 197 remaining branded restaurants, sell £1.5 billion of freehold property and potentially cut about 3,800 jobs, as he pivots the group toward a higher-margin, pure-play hotel model.
British business rate hikes announced in last year's autumn budget saddled the UK's hospitality sector with higher costs, further exacerbated by a surge in energy prices triggered by the Iran war.
"With excellent strategic progress and strong current trading momentum, our plan is working," Paul said on Tuesday.
Whitbread beat first-half adjusted pre-tax profit expectations and backed its full year outlook, as strong hotel trading in the UK and Germany helped offset cost inflation and the disruption of exiting its branded restaurant business.
In the five weeks to October 1, the hotel operator's UK accommodation sales were up 4.5%, while sales in Germany climbed 31.2%.
The company said a general meeting to consider Corvex's resolution to add a new board member will be held on November 9.

Maris-Tech’s participation at AUSA follows a period of significant commercial activity for the Company across multiple defense markets. In September 2026, Maris-Tech announced its largest-ever contract, a US$10 million order to develop and supply advanced video systems for multiple next-generation manned airborne platforms. The multi-year project includes additional purchase options that, if exercised in full, could bring the total value of orders received by Maris-Tech under the project to approximately US$14.1 million.
The Company also recently announced a pilot order, received through a distributor, from a leading global defense company for an armored vehicle situational awareness application. The pilot followed an extensive adaptation process in which Maris-Tech’s Jupiter product line was tailored to meet the end customer’s specific video streaming requirements. Based on estimates and forecasts provided by the end customer, successful completion of the pilot could result in significant follow-on orders over the coming years.
“We see AUSA as an important opportunity to demonstrate how the technologies behind the Company’s recent commercial progress translate into operational capabilities across multiple defense platforms,” said Israel Bar, Chief Executive Officer of Maris-Tech. “From 360° situational awareness on armored vehicles to airborne and unmanned applications, our focus is on delivering edge video and AI technologies that address real operational requirements. We look forward to demonstrating these capabilities to customers and partners in Washington.”

TORONTO, Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier American Uranium Inc. (“PUR”, the “Company” or “Premier American Uranium”) (TSXV: PUR) (OTCQB: PAUIF) is pleased to report another positive update on mid-season results from the 2026 exploration drilling program at the Company’s wholly-owned Kaycee Project (“Kaycee” or the “Project”), located in the Powder River Basin of northeastern Wyoming. Initial drilling at the West Diane target has intersected uranium mineralization in six of eight holes, including 10 ft grading 0.064% eU₃O₈ in drillhole WD26-012. Following encouraging results at Rustler, PUR secured an additional 1,883 acres of mineral rights, extending the target area north and west, connecting the Rustler and Stampede claim blocks, and bringing its total land package to 31,724 acres.
As of September 25, 2026, PUR has completed 80 conventional mud-rotary drillholes for a total of 65,620 ft (30 holes and 23,660 ft since our last reporting), representing approximately 66% of the planned 100,000-ft program. Drilling is currently focused on West Diane, with a return to Rustler planned following completion of the West Diane campaign.
2026 Program Highlights
Encouraging initial results at West Diane: Six of 8 drillholes, totaling 7,360 ft, encountered uranium mineralization at grades of 0.02% eU₃O₈ or higher (Table 1). Notably, drillhole WD26-012 intercepted 10 ft of 0.064% eU₃O₈, including 5.5 ft of 0.076% and 2 ft of 0.092% eU₃O₈ (Figure 2). West Diane drilling tests extensions of known mineralization: Historical drilling identified two discrete sandstone host target units within the Fort Union Formation, one of two historically productive host formations in the Smith Ranch-Highland area of the Powder River Basin. Current drilling focuses on the upper unit to better define the trend and extent of the paleochannel partially delineated by historic drilling. Infill, step-out, and confirmation holes are all planned to verify and expand areas of known uranium mineralization. Additional uranium intercepts at Rustler: Six of the 22 newly reported drillholes intersected uranium mineralization grading at least 0.02% eU₃O₈, including 2.5 ft grading 0.063% eU₃O₈ in RT26-121 and 3.5 ft grading 0.037% eU₃O₈ in RT26-116 (see Table 1 and Figure 3).Rustler mineral rights expanded by 1,883 acres: Encouraging drilling results prompted PUR to secure additional mineral rights immediately north and west of the existing claim block, extending the target area and connecting the Rustler and Stampede claim blocks.
Two mineralized sandstone units identified at Rustler: Drilling has identified two mineralized sandstone host units, both within the lower Wasatch Formation. Uranium mineralization has been encountered in both sands, and gamma results, which indicate possible stacked roll fronts in the upper unit.Rustler drilling to resume across expanded target area: Drilling was paused after 45 holes while PUR secured adjacent mineral rights. With those rights now secured, drilling is expected to resume after the West Diane campaign, weather permitting.
Colin Healey, CEO of PUR commented, “Our 2026 program continues to deliver encouraging results across Kaycee. Drilling at the West Diane target has returned uranium mineralization in six of our first eight holes, including 10 ft grading 0.064% eU₃O₈, the thickest mineralized interval reported from this year’s program to date. These results provide a strong basis for follow-up drilling to test extensions of known mineralization. At Rustler, encouraging results prompted us to secure an additional 1,883 acres to the north and west, positioning us to test further exploration opportunities. With approximately two-thirds of the planned drilling complete, we look forward to advancing West Diane and returning to our expanded Rustler target area.”
Michael Harrison, Chairman, commented, “Kaycee represents one of the largest grassroots uranium exploration programs in the United States, with an expanded land package spanning approximately 31,724 acres in Wyoming’s prolific Powder River Basin. Our ongoing drilling is demonstrating the potential of this extensive land position, while the addition of strategically located mineral rights connecting the Rustler and Stampede claim blocks strengthens our exploration footprint. PUR is focussed on adding essential uranium resources in the United States.”

Uranium grades cited were calculated from gamma-ray logs measured by Hawkins CBM Logging of Casper, Wyoming, and the cited grades are “equivalent” (“e”) grades of U3O8. Hawkins CBM Logging’s geophysical probe was calibrated at the US Department of Energy’s Casper, Wyoming test pits in August 2026. No corrections were made for radiometric disequilibrium. Numerous comparisons of eU₃O₈ and chemical assays of PRB core samples indicate that eU₃O₈ is a reasonable indicator of the actual uranium assay. All drill holes are vertical in orientation and the geologic units hosting the uranium mineralization are generally very flat lying, therefore reported thicknesses are considered to approximate or modestly exceed true thicknesses.

Kaycee Project
The Kaycee Project in Wyoming's Powder River Basin (PRB) consists of over 42 square miles of mineral rights over a 36-mile mineralized trend hosting more than 110 miles of identified roll fronts (Figure 4). The Project is believed to be the only project in the PRB where all three known historically productive sandstone formations (Wasatch, Fort Union, and Lance) are mineralized and potentially accessible for ISR extraction. PUR’s exploration team are undertaking the largest grass-roots ISR drill program in the United States, with upwards of 400,000 ft of drilling completed since 2023.
PUR anchors one of the strongest exploration portfolios in Wyoming, combining its Cyclone Project in the Great Divide Basin with Kaycee to drive one of the largest ongoing drilling programs in the state and significantly expand its presence in both of the state’s major ISR-amenable uranium districts.

Qualified Person Statement
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release was reviewed and approved by J.J. Brown, P.G., SME-RM, PUR’s Vice President Exploration, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Ms. Brown has verified the data disclosed in this news release, including sampling, analytical, and test data underlying the information contained herein.
The drilling results cited in this news release were derived from conventional mud rotary drill holes and continuously recorded geophysical responses (gamma-ray, spontaneous-potential, and single point resistivity) from a borehole geophysical probe. All drill holes are vertical in orientation and the geologic units hosting the uranium mineralization are generally very flat lying, therefore reported thicknesses are considered to approximate or modestly exceed true thicknesses. Grades of mineralization reported were calculated from the gamma-ray logs following a procedure that was first developed in the early 1960s and is standard practice in the uranium industry. The borehole geophysical logging was carried out by Hawkins CBM of Casper, Wyoming, a highly experienced and skilled geophysical contractor with a well-established history of providing reliable and accurate data.
Other information regarding the Company’s Kaycee Project, including with respect to the Quality Assurance and Quality Control measures applied during the work program can be referenced from the “Technical Report for NI 43-101 Kaycee Uranium Project, Johnson County, Wyoming USA”, dated September 21, 2025, which is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR +, at www.sedarplus.ca.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cambria Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: CAMB; OTCQX: CAMVF) (“Cambria” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a status update of ongoing construction, development, permitting, Feasibility Study preparation and infill drilling progress from the Premier Gold Project (“PGP” or the “Premier Project”) and Red Mountain Gold Project (“Red Mountain”), located near Stewart in northwestern British Columbia, as well as additions to its engineering and operational team. The Company is targeting commissioning of the 2,500 tonne per day mill at PGP in Q4 of 2027 with continued ramp up through 2028. Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that over CA$45.9 million has been received through the exercise of outstanding warrants.
Premier African Minerals Ltd (AIM:PREM, OTC:PRMMF) has raised about £1.2 million before expenses, selling 27.5 billion new shares at 0.00436p apiece to a group of institutional and professional investors.
The money goes towards firing up operations again at the Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project in Zimbabwe, including a possible restart of the processing plant and the remobilising of mining.
It marks a shift in approach as the original plan was to build a larger run-of-mine stockpile before processing resumed. Instead, Premier will work through roughly 13,000 tonnes of ore already sitting on the ROM pad.
The first job is a campaign of about 15 days, with the focus on keeping the plant running steadily and checking throughput, recoveries and product quality.
Managing director Graham Hill said a successful run should give the board, shareholders and potential funders a clearer read on what Zulu can do, and a firmer footing for deciding the next step.
More blasted ore within the EPO could be moved to the pad afterwards, subject to how the plant performs and whether the working capital is there.
The new shares should start trading on AIM on or around 9 October, taking the share count to 77.6 billion.
The first sale in The Summit's history adds Alabama's most-visited retail destination to the portfolio at a price immediately accretive to FFO per share
, /PRNewswire/ -- Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE: FRT) today announced the acquisition of The Summit, Alabama's premier retail destination, for $508 million ($498 million on a net basis). Acquired from the original developer, this 100-acre, approximately 870,000-square-foot open-air property developed over more than 30 years is the most-visited retail destination in Alabama, drawing nearly 9 million visits annually from a trade area reaching 100 miles in every direction according to Placer.ai.
"Opportunities to buy truly irreplaceable, dominant assets like The Summit don't come along often, and we can't be more excited about adding this property to our portfolio," said Don Wood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Federal Realty. "This acquisition is immediately accretive to FFO, has exceptional mark-to-market opportunities over the next 5 years, and enhances and expands our already deep retailer relationships that we will be able to use to benefit many of our other assets. Adding The Summit to our collection of market-dominant assets such as Town Center Crossing and Plaza, Leawood, KS; Village Pointe, Omaha, NE; Santana Row, San Jose, CA; Assembly Row, Somerville, MA; and CocoWalk, Coconut Grove, FL, among others, positions the company extremely well for growth over the next several years."
Located in Birmingham, Alabama at the intersection of Interstate 459 and U.S. 280, The Summit sits between Mountain Brook and Vestavia Hills, two of Birmingham's most affluent communities, in a metropolitan market of more than 1.2 million people with an average household income within five miles of approximately $193,000. The Summit has more than 110 tenants including Apple, Trader Joe's, RH, Nordstrom Rack, Alo Yoga, Sephora and North Italia, with more than 30 of those tenants operating their only Alabama location at the property. Recent commitments from Aritzia, Reformation and LoveShackFancy reinforce The Summit's position as the entry point for retailers expanding into Alabama. The property is 92% occupied and has a number of signed leases already in place that will increase that occupancy over the next several months.
The acquisition is expected to be funded on a long-term basis with a combination of asset sale proceeds, free cash flow and proceeds from the company's recently issued convertible notes.
With the addition of The Summit, Federal's Central Region now encompasses seven properties and approximately 2.7 million square feet across Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and Birmingham.
A detailed overview of the acquisition is available here.

Premier Graphene Inc. and Affiliate HGI Industrial Technologies S.A.P.I. de C.V. Receive Payment for Mexican Military Purchase Order
Key Highlights: Payment received: Premier and HGI completed delivery of 98 military waist belts for SEDENA and received payment.
Manufacturing expansion: HGI and Nova Graphene signed a joint venture agreement for a Mexican plant; financing is pending, and the facility is not operational.
Conditions remain: Revenue recognition awaits review, and Premier’s planned U.S. procurement activities depend on obtaining required certification.
PR Audio:
Mexico City, Mexico, October 1, 2026 – PRISM MediaWire (Press Release Service – Press Release Distribution) – Premier Graphene Inc. (OTC: BIEI) (the “Company” or “Premier”), together with its affiliate and strategic partner HGI Industrial Technologies S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“HGI”), today announced that payment was received on the first purchase order fulfilled by HGI and Premier for Mexico’s Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA).
Premier Graphene (OTC: BIEI) and affiliate HGI received payment for their first fulfilled purchase order for Mexico’s defense ministry, SEDENA, covering 98 military waist belts The purchase order, documented under Remisión No. 001 dated May 8, 2026, involved the manufacture and delivery of 98 military waist belts (fajillas), consisting of:
• 35 units — Fajilla with TE-3A belt
• 35 units — Fajilla with NC belt
• 28 units — Fajilla with TE-3 belt
The fulfillment of these 3 separate contracts, while profitable, more significantly, demonstrated to the Mexican government, the professionalism of Premier and its team, coupled with the capacity to competently and expeditiously, deliver quality, compliant products and fulfill all responsibilities, paving the way to more significant and far more profitable contracts.
The accounting treatment, classification, and timing of any related revenue remains subject to determination by the Company’s management and independent auditors, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
HGI Industrial Technologies continues expanding its manufacturing and commercial operations in Mexico, while Premier Graphene Inc. is developing its position as a publicly traded company with exposure to advanced materials, graphene-related technologies, and strategic manufacturing opportunities.
“This payment marks another important milestone for HGI and Premier Graphene,” said Pedro A. Méndez, President of Premier Graphene Inc. and HGI Industrial Technologies S.A.P.I. de C.V. “Our focus has always been on turning opportunities into actual purchase orders, delivering the products, and ultimately converting those orders into collected revenue. Receiving payment is an important part of that process.”
The Companies expect to continue building upon their existing commercial relationships while pursuing additional opportunities in Mexico and international markets.
As part of their broader strategic development, HGI Industrial Technologies S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Nova Graphene Inc. are moving forward under a signed Joint Venture agreement focused on establishing a dedicated manufacturing plant in Mexico. The Joint Venture agreement was signed approximately one month ago, and the parties are currently awaiting financing to proceed with the planned facility. The facility is intended to support the production of advanced graphene-related and protective products for Mexico and international markets, subject to securing adequate financing. The planned plant is not yet operational.
Nova Graphene has tested and NIJ-certified ballistic plate products at Level III-A and Level IV, along with additional military applications and advanced materials. The planned manufacturing platform in Mexico is intended to build upon these existing technologies and capabilities and, if financed and established, could support production and commercial opportunities in Mexico, the United States, Europe, and Middle Eastern markets, subject to applicable financing, regulatory, and certification requirements.
Premier Graphene Inc. expects to pursue U.S. industrial and military procurement opportunities, including next-generation graphene-enhanced protective vests and other graphene-enhanced military products, as part of its broader North American market strategy. These activities are subject to Premier Graphene Inc. obtaining at least one type of required certification which has not yet been obtained. Despite the probability of receiving all such certifications, there can be no assurance that all will be received and thus all such opportunities will be realized.

Former UK Prime Minister, Liz Truss is building a premium media coalition, now adding top sports media brands, starting with “AbsoluteChelsea,” and more than a dozen top team brands on Roundtable OS.
London, UK, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roundtable (Nasdaq: RTB), an AI/DeFi-powered Enterprise Media Operating System, today announced a unified coalition of independent UK sports media brands running on the Roundtable platform. Absolute Chelsea, City Xtra, Last Word on Spurs, United District, LiverpoolTransferRoom have joined forces with other leading premier league brands - leveraging Roundtable's Media OS, to unify millions of fans in a premium sports coalition, which includes more than 200 global sports brands, including NFL, MLB, NBA, Hockey, and now the English Premier League, all part of a growing global media coalition which recently announced expansion to over 100 million user ecosystem.
The UK coalition is the vanguard of a broader European movement led by former United Kingdom Prime Minister Liz Truss: a premium media network created to operate fully independent of AI aggregators and Silicon Valley distribution. Across Europe, independent media brands are uniting on the Roundtable AI operating system, to retain full sovereignty over their brands, audience, data, and IP, leveraging global scale ecosystem and infrastructure.
Every coalition member runs independently on the full power of the RoundtableOS and marketplace, with a blockchain-based secure IP vault for each brand, coalition distribution, publishing, monetization, community, syndication, and real-time DeFi payments unified in a single ecosystem. The recently announced transformative Coinbase integration ensures publishers and journalists are paid instantly, with on-chain settlement through Roundtable's Media Liquidity Pool and smart-wallet network, ensuring immutable reporting and payments, down to every brand, story, video and professional content creator and journalist.
Global Sports Media Coalition
Millions of hockey fans were the first to adopt Roundtable’s transformative platform through TheHockeyNews.com, now a 50+ publication network covering every NHL team. In 2026, most former Sports Illustrated team publishers followed former SI CEO Heckman to Roundtable, while more than a dozen leading UK Premier League publications joined the Coalition, including Absolute Chelsea, City Xtra, Last Word on Spurs, District United and Liverpool Transfer Room.
“In 1999, we created Europe’s #1 sports network by partnering with the best Premier League team journalists in Britain: Rivals.net. Roundtable is repeating that playbook today, again with legendary brands and vastly superior technology,” said James Heckman, Founder and CEO of Roundtable. “Our growing coalition of UK professional media brands, built on Roundtable’s market-changing OS, creates a transformative experience for consumers and investors. Supporting professional journalism is mission one, by creating the world’s most efficient global marketplace for professional journalism.”
"We couldn't be more proud to become a member of Roundtable's premium UK media coalition. Their technology is truly transformative, and the way publishers are paid instantly is revolutionary," said Freddie Pye, Founder at City Xtra. "Media is at a turning point in the UK, and saving professional journalism starts with sports. To do so, publishers need full ownership and control of their IP, audience data, and a safe community platform; Roundtable provides all of this. The Premier League is revered globally and locally, and we're proud to lead what is only the beginning of building the largest media coalition in Europe.”

Since 2018, Astro Digital has delivered nearly 40 satellites across 16 mission types for more than 30 customers, including NASA, the Department of Defense, Boeing, and Sony.
Astro Digital grew revenue at a 42% two-year CAGR while generating positive adjusted EBITDA, a rare combination among public space peers.
$50 million PIPE with Proem Asset Management and its affiliates committing $25 million, co-led with Leon Capital Group
Proem Asset Management is led by Imran Khan, former Chief Strategy Officer of Snap; following closing, Imran Khan will join the board of directors of Astro Digital.
DENVER, CO and DALLAS, TX, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Astro Digital, US, Inc. (“Astro Digital” or the “Company”), a designer, manufacturer and operator of mission-configurable satellites for commercial, civil and defense applications, and Proem Acquisition Corp I (Nasdaq: PAAC) (“Proem”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced that they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement. Upon closing of the business combination, Proem will be named Astro Digital Holdings, Inc. and is expected to trade on Nasdaq following closing, which is anticipated in the first quarter of 2027, subject to certain closing conditions.
Astro Digital designs, manufactures, and operates satellite systems and mission support services for applications such as earth observation, communications, space infrastructure and defense applications. Since 2018, Astro Digital has delivered nearly 40 satellites across 16 distinct mission types and has served more than 30 customers including NASA, the Department of Defense, Boeing, and Sony. Its platforms have enabled a series of industry firsts, including Starcloud-1, which in November 2025 carried the first NVIDIA H100 GPU into orbit and has since run large language model training and inference on orbit; Mandrake, which demonstrated optical inter-satellite links for DARPA and the Space Development Agency; and Otter Pup 1 and 2, a mission demonstration for rendezvous, proximity operations and docking for Starfish Space.
“Breakthrough technologies and expanding commercial applications are driving rapid innovation across the constellation and space sectors and Astro Digital is uniquely positioned to benefit from these tailwinds,” said Chris Biddy, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Astro Digital. “Over the past 11 years, we have developed strong customer relationships, meeting growing demand with rapid execution capabilities, our scalable manufacturing platform and cost discipline. Unlike competitors in this industry, we have been able to deliver nearly 40 satellites, profitably, with revenue compounding at 42% annualized over two years, positive adjusted EBITDA, and a backlog that doubled last year.”
“We see a long runway for continued growth,” Biddy added. “Our customers continue to expand their constellation plans and develop new applications including data-centers-in-space which we are well suited to take on. This transaction with Proem will enable us to increase our sales force and production capacity, and expand into new verticals, while preserving the discipline that got us here. We are grateful to have Proem as a partner on this journey.”
“We like this business for five reasons,” said Imran Khan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Proem and Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Proem Asset Management. “One, it is capital efficient: it has built satellites for eleven years and delivered nearly 40 of them without the cash burn that defines most of this sector. Two, it is direct leverage to the secular growth of space; as constellations multiply, demand for its platforms multiplies with them. Three, its growth comes from multiple vectors: existing customer follow-ons, new customer wins, government and sovereign programs, and new mission categories like orbital data centers. Four, the management team has a proven track record; they built this business from zero. And five, it is adjusted EBITDA profitable, and has been while compounding revenue at an impressive rate.”
The business combination values Astro Digital at a pro forma post-money enterprise value of approximately $587 million. The transaction will be funded by up to approximately $180 million in gross proceeds, comprising up to $130 million of cash held in Proem’s trust account (assuming no redemptions) and approximately $50 million from PIPE investments led by Proem Asset Management and Leon Capital Group, of which Proem Asset Management and its affiliates have committed $25 million. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both Astro Digital and Proem and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to approval by Proem’s shareholders, the satisfaction of a minimum cash condition of $30 million, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and other customary closing conditions.
Astro Digital’s existing management team, led by Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Chris Biddy and Chief Financial Officer and EVP of Operations Michael Wilson, will continue to lead the combined company. Imran Khan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Proem and Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Proem Asset Management, will join the board of directors of the combined company at closing, alongside current Astro Digital directors Adrian Steckel, former CEO of OneWeb, and Dr. Derek Tournear, former director of the Space Development Agency.
Additional information about the proposed transaction, including a copy of the business combination agreement and an investor presentation, will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Proem with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov.

Long-term roadmap integrates music, education, wellness, hospitality, and residential real estate into a single destination ecosystem on Chiba's Pacific coast
CHOSHI, CHIBA PREFECTURE, JAPAN, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OFA Group today outlined its long-term development vision and roadmap for a new oceanfront cultural destination in Choshi City, a multi-phase initiative designed to bring together classical music and the arts, education, wellness, hospitality, and residential real estate into one cohesive destination ecosystem on Japan's Pacific coast.
Located at the easternmost tip of the Kanto region, Choshi is known for its rugged coastline, the historic Inubosaki Lighthouse, some of the first sunrises in mainland Japan, a working fishing port, and the local Choshi Dentetsu rail line. OFA sees the city's natural setting and cultural heritage as the foundation for a destination that draws visitors, residents, and cultural institutions together in one place, rather than developing music, housing, and hospitality as separate, disconnected efforts.
“This is about more than any single building or event,” said Larry Wong, CEO of OFA Group. “We are working to organically link music, education, wellness, hospitality, and residential living so that Choshi's identity as a cultural destination and OFA's long-term investment in the city grow together, not on separate tracks. Every piece of this roadmap is designed to reinforce the others.”
Music as the cultural core. At the center of OFA's roadmap is a renewed commitment to classical music as Choshi's defining cultural asset. Building on lessons from its earlier festival programming, OFA is re-establishing its approach around a sustainable, brand-led business model — one that will inform how future concerts, education programs, and performance venues are developed, rather than starting from venues and working backward. OFA is in early discussions with cultural producers and organizers about multi-year programming that could begin as soon as 2028, and will share further details as those conversations progress.
A coastal home for wellness and residential living. As part of the same vision, OFA is pursuing the redevelopment of a coastal parcel in Choshi's Tokawa area into a premium, private-pay senior living community — a short walk from Choshi Dentetsu's Tokawa Station and the coastline. The project, currently under a provisional agreement with Choshi City and subject to City Council approval, is envisioned as a residence where wellness, hospitality-grade service, and Choshi's emerging cultural identity come together for residents, rather than a standalone care facility. Planning work, including site design and regulatory review, is underway.
Education and hospitality as connective tissue. OFA's roadmap also calls for education programming — tied to the destination's music and cultural offerings — and hospitality experiences that welcome visitors to Choshi for the first time and give residents and program participants reasons to stay engaged over the long term. These components are earlier in development and will be shaped in coordination with the music and residential pillars as they mature.
OFA intends to advance this roadmap in phases over the coming years, working closely with Choshi City, local stakeholders, and prospective partners at each stage. The company will provide updates as key milestones — including municipal approvals, program partnerships, and site plans — are finalized.

Law&Crime Network and NewsNation anchor Jesse Weber returns to host; ceremony to stream live to Law&Crime Network's 7.7 million YouTube subscribers during Cellebrite's annual C2C User Summit in April 2027
, /PRNewswire/ -- Cellebrite (Nasdaq: CLBT), a global leader in Digital Investigative and Intelligence solutions for the public and private sectors, today announced the next evolution of the Digital Justice Awards, known as the JUSTYS. The 2027 program introduces more rigorous judging criteria, an elevated panel of judges and new crime-specific categories for its Case of the Year awards. The JUSTYS will be presented on Tuesday, April 13, 2027, during Cellebrite's annual C2C User Summit which attracts the best and brightest in public safety, law enforcement, defense and intelligence agencies and businesses from around the world.
Now entering its third year, the JUSTYS is designed to honor the people and teams protecting communities, delivering justice to victims and survivors, holding wrongdoers accountable and exonerating the innocent. While some of the casework and investigative prowess highlighted at the JUSTYS involve high-profile investigations, many do not. Regardless of whether the case generates international acclaim, it's often the quiet, tenacious and under-the-radar work performed by these professionals that help make our world safer.
"The JUSTYS is the crown jewel of our signature global C2C User Summit, and we are honored to give these professionals the recognition they deserve. They are heroes in the communities they serve and we are proud to recognize, honor and shine a light on all the good they do," said Cellebrite Chief Marketing Officer David Gee. "The energy at the conference is palpable and the JUSTYS is a magical evening. We cannot wait for April to roll out the orange carpet and celebrate all the nominees in Dallas!"
Jesse Weber, host of Law&Crime's Sidebar and Prime Crime, which cover the most gripping and breaking criminal cases making headlines around the world, returns for another year as host of the JUSTYS. The ceremony will once again stream live on Law&Crime Network's YouTube channel, reaching the network's 7.7 million subscribers and extending recognition of the honorees' work to a global audience. Law&Crime is the leading multi-platform destination for true crime and legal content. Following its acquisition of Court TV in February of this year, Law&Crime is now home to the iconic brand that pioneered live trial coverage in America. Together, Law&Crime and Court TV deliver gavel-to-gavel courtroom proceedings, expert legal analysis, investigative reporting, award-winning documentaries and original programming from a team of award-winning journalists and legal experts.
JUSTYS winners are selected by judges who are leading industry experts guided by rigorous criteria. Every nomination will be judged across three pillars, Digital Forensic & Investigative Excellence, Investigative Impact and Integrity and Ethics, and is evaluated independently before judges arrive at an overall assessment – a structure designed so that a perfect score is rare and meaningful. The judging panel has also expanded to include former JUSTYS Case of the Year winners and select digital forensics and investigative experts, bringing outside perspective and deeper technical scrutiny to every nomination.
The Case of the Year award now has four categories, including Crimes Against Children & Human Trafficking, Narcotics, Major Crimes and Protecting Nations. In addition, the JUSTYS recognize excellence across the digital forensics and investigations community. Every category below is judged to the same demanding standard and only nominations that demonstrate clear, measurable impact rise to the top:

Results from a total of 6,923 metres from 70 surface and underground drillholes are reported herein. Highlight intervals include:
TORONTO, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier American Uranium Inc. (“PUR”, the “Company” or “Premier American Uranium”) (TSXV: PUR) (OTCQB: PAUIF) announces that Mr.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cambria Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: CAMB; OTCQX: CAMVF) (“Cambria” or the “Company”) announces that due to the opportunity to realize significant value for shareholders as a potential Tier 1 asset, the Company will retain its ownership in the Mt. Margaret copper and gold porphyry deposit located in Washington State (“Mt. Margaret”), deferring the proposed spinout. Based on ongoing discussions with strategic partners, feedback from Cambria’s investors and the strong fundamentals for copper, the Company believes significantly more value can be added by advancing Mt. Margaret as a significant asset within the portfolio, in addition to the Premier Gold Mine Complex and the Red Mountain Gold Deposit located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. Cambria will provide updates on the continued drilling, engineering and construction advancements at the Premier Mine Complex and the Red Mountain Gold Deposit in the near future.
To support Cambria’s new vision of advancing Mt. Margaret, the Company is pleased to announce the immediate addition of an exceptional US-based director to the Cambria board: Kim Colloton. Additionally, Cleve Rueckert, previously announced as Vice-President (USA), will assume the role of Vice-President of Corporate Development for Cambria. As previously announced, Asa East, Vice-President of Exploration (USA), David Thomas, Vice-President Projects (USA) and Orla Abrahams, Manager, Stakeholder Relations (USA) will continue in their current roles.
“We see the opportunity to build an exceptional growth-oriented company at Cambria, anchored by near-term gold production at the Premier Gold Mine Complex in Canada and a potential Tier 1 copper deposit at Mt. Margaret. With over one square kilometer of outcropping mineralization at surface, open for expansion in most directions and at depth below 500 meters, the Mt. Margaret deposit represents a unique opportunity in the United States. Through systematic goals including: permitting milestones, infill and exploration drilling, Mineral Resource Estimates and Economic Studies, we feel that we can add substantial value for our shareholders by keeping our portfolio together,” said Robert McLeod, CEO of Cambria Gold Mines. “Our Company will be supported by the highly accretive addition of US-based team members, including our new director Retired Major General Kim Colloton, as well as ex-Barrick Vice-President Cleve Rueckert.”
“I am excited about this expanded opportunity, working with an exceptional team focused on building something special,” said Cleve Rueckert. “We think there is substantial value embedded in Cambria’s portfolio of assets and I look forward to helping unlock that value for the benefit of our stakeholders, importantly the communities where we work, our employees and our shareholders.”
Cambria’s US-based management team continues to advance permit applications and environmental studies supporting additional exploration drilling at Mt. Margaret in the near future. The Company has also begun engagement with local communities and county, state, federal and Tribal representatives regarding Mt. Margaret. These early discussions are intended to establish open communication, understand stakeholder priorities, and inform the Company’s environmental, technical and socioeconomic work as the project is evaluated. Additionally, Cambria has completed relogging and geological modelling of available core from the deposit, reaffirming its view of Mt. Margaret as a unique and exceptional copper-gold porphyry deposit.

About the Mt. Margaret Copper-Gold Deposit
The Mt. Margaret deposit is a calc-alkaline porphyry deposit hosting high-grade copper, gold, and molybdenum mineralization located approximately 22 km southwest of Randle, Washington State. The Mt. Margaret Project is primarily located on patented federal mineral claims that are held by Cambria and the United States Federal Government Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and located on Forest Service land. Through its US entity, Ascot USA Inc. (“Ascot US”), Cambria controls 50% mineral rights of select patented claims centered over the deposit with the Federal Government controlling the remaining 50%, as well as other patents in the area. Cambria also controls 100% interest in 184 lode claims surrounding the property. The Company has been advancing discussions with various US Federal Government Departments, including the BLM, regarding future direction for the deposit.
This porphyry system was discovered and actively explored by Duval Corporation (“Duval”) from 1971-1980, completing a total of 20,729m over 105 diamond drill holes (Taylor, 1980)1. In 2010, Cambria’s predecessor, Ascot Resources Ltd., completed 4,880m of infill diamond drilling over 10 holes, which confirmed and expanded the mineralized zones defined by Duval’s drilling (See Cambria’s News Releases dated October 13, November 3, November 23, and December 1, 2010 and January 12, 2011).
A historical mineral resource was completed by Duval for the Mt. Margaret deposit, totaling 577Mt grading 0.36% Cu, 0.24 g/t Au, 0.011% Mo, and 1.58 g/t Ag (Taylor, 1980)1. This historic estimate predates the implementation of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI-43-101”) guidelines and is not compliant with currently accepted reserve and resource classifications as set forth by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, August 20, 2000 (CIM Guidelines) or the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”). Furthermore, uncertainty regarding cut-off grade, metal prices, modelling methodology, or other parameters and assumptions used in the Duval work could impact the reliability of the historic estimation. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Further work including quality assurance / quality control procedures, geological modelling, and assay certificate and collar validation by a Qualified Person would be required to produce a NI-43-101 or an S-K 1300 compliant resource. There are no guarantees that this additional work would confirm the historical resource estimate defined by Duval.
Qualified Person
The scientific and technical information within this news release has been reviewed and approved by Asa East, CPG, Vice President Exploration (USA) for Cambria Gold Mines Inc. and a non-independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. East is a Certified Professional Geologist in good standing with the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG).

The Transaction expands DISA Uranium's abandoned uranium mine and conventional uranium portfolio in the western United States and represents the next step in the Company's strategy to consolidate domestic uranium assets around its differentiated recycling, recovery and processing platform.
, /PRNewswire/ -- DISA Uranium™ Corporation ("DISA Uranium" or the "Company"), an American company built to recover and produce domestic uranium and remediate the nation's legacy uranium sites, today announced that it has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Premier American Uranium Inc. ("PUR") (TSXV: PUR) (OTCQB: PAUIF) to acquire a portfolio of uranium projects in Colorado (the "Colorado Portfolio").
DISA Uranium will also make a US$5,000,000 strategic equity investment ("Equity Investment") in subscription receipts of PUR ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of C$0.75 per Subscription Receipt (the "Offering Price") and will have the right to nominate one director to PUR's board of directors ("Board") upon closing (collectively, the "Transaction").
PUR is a U.S.-focused uranium exploration and development company with a diversified portfolio spanning five established uranium districts across the western United States. The Transaction establishes a strategic relationship between the companies and supports potential future collaboration across PUR's broader portfolio.
The Transaction represents the next step in DISA Uranium's strategy to consolidate complementary U.S. uranium assets and abandoned uranium mine ("AUM") waste using its proprietary High-Pressure Slurry Ablation technology ("HPSA™").
DISA Uranium holds the only U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission license authorizing the remediation and recovery of abandoned uranium mine waste across multiple sites. The Colorado Portfolio complements the Company's conventional uranium assets in Utah, acquired from IsoEnergy Ltd. (see news release dated August 4, 2026), further expanding its potential uranium feedstock base and supporting its plans to develop new domestic uranium recovery and processing capacity.
Greyson Buckingham, Chief Executive Officer of DISA Uranium, commented, "We are excited to add another portfolio of AUM and exploration uranium assets to DISA Uranium's growing U.S. resource base. The Colorado Portfolio builds on the foundation established through our recent transaction with IsoEnergy and represents another step in our strategy to consolidate domestic uranium resources around our differentiated technology and future processing capabilities. Together, our AUM and conventional resource base provide multiple potential sources of uranium feedstock as we work to build a more secure domestic uranium supply chain. Our strategic equity investment and Board representation also establish a strong foundation for an ongoing partnership with PUR as we explore opportunities to collaborate across its broader U.S. portfolio."
Colin Healey, Chief Executive Officer of Premier American Uranium, commented, "We are excited to welcome DISA Uranium as a major strategic shareholder of PUR and look forward to welcoming Greyson Buckingham to our Board upon closing of the Transaction. This relationship extends beyond the sale of our non-core Colorado assets. We see meaningful opportunities to collaborate across our broader U.S. portfolio, including evaluating the potential application of DISA Uranium's HPSA™ technology and future regional processing infrastructure. DISA Uranium's investment strengthens our alignment while providing additional capital to advance PUR's core projects."
The Transaction: Expanding DISA Uranium's Resource Base
DISA Uranium has agreed to acquire PUR's Colorado portfolio of exploration and past-producing uranium assets in the historic Uravan Mineral Belt, comprising the Outlaw Mesa, Atkinson Mesa, Monogram Mesa and Slick Rock projects. The Colorado Portfolio encompasses approximately 20,000 acres across one of the most prolific uranium-vanadium producing districts in the United States and includes eight U.S. Department of Energy uranium and vanadium leases and 545 patented and unpatented lode mining claims, together with associated geological data, historical mine workings and infrastructure.
The portfolio also contains significant abandoned uranium mine waste, with an estimate of approximately 2 million tons of AUM material identified across the properties, providing a potential opportunity for DISA Uranium to apply its differentiated remediation and recovery capabilities alongside the conventional exploration and development potential of the assets. The DOE leases contain approximately 2.7 million pounds of historical uranium resources reported by the DOE and its predecessor agencies.1
The properties are located in the heart of Colorado's Uravan Mineral Belt, a district that has produced nearly 80 million pounds of U₃O₈ and more than 400 million pounds of V2O5 since 1945.
The Transaction expands DISA Uranium's AUM and conventional uranium footprint in the western United States and complements the Company's Utah portfolio acquired from IsoEnergy, which includes the Tony M, Daneros and Rim mines and the Sage Plain and Flatiron projects. Together, the Utah and Colorado assets establish a growing portfolio of conventional uranium assets and potential remediation feedstock across established U.S. uranium districts.
Beyond the Colorado Portfolio acquisition, DISA Uranium's strategic Equity Investment in PUR creates long-term alignment between the companies and provides a platform to pursue additional opportunities across PUR's U.S. uranium portfolio, including the potential application of HPSA™ to support future regional processing capacity.
Transaction Terms
Under the Agreement, DISA Uranium has agreed to acquire the Colorado Portfolio from PUR in consideration for:
the issuance to PUR of US$2,000,000 worth of equity consisting of 25,413 common shares of DISA Uranium ("DISA Uranium Shares") on closing of the Transaction; and the issuance to PUR of warrants exercisable to acquire 25,413 DISA Uranium Shares at a price of US$118.05 per share, subject to the satisfaction of certain vesting conditions. Completion of the Transaction is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions as set forth in the Agreement, including, among other things, receipt of applicable regulatory approvals including the approval of the Department of Energy and completion of the Equity Investment, including the conversion of the Subscription Receipts in accordance with the terms thereof.
In connection with the Transaction, DISA Uranium will make a strategic equity investment in PUR, resulting in an approximately 8.7% ownership interest and providing additional capital to advance PUR's core portfolio. Subject to maintaining a specified ownership threshold, DISA Uranium will receive customary participation rights. Upon completion of the Transaction, Greyson Buckingham, Chief Executive Officer of DISA Uranium, will join PUR's Board of Directors.
Pursuant to the Equity Investment, DISA Uranium has agreed to acquire Subscription Receipts for aggregate proceeds of US$5,000,000. Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to automatically receive, upon satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of certain escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"), one common share of PUR (a "PUR Share").
The Escrow Release Conditions include the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Transaction. The proceeds of the Equity Investment will be held in escrow and not released to PUR until the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied or waived, as applicable. If the Escrow Release Conditions have not been satisfied or waived, as applicable, on or prior June 13, 2027, the aggregate Offering Price of the Subscription Receipts (plus any interest earned thereon) will be returned to DISA Uranium, and such Subscription Receipts will be automatically cancelled and be of no further force and effect.

TORONTO, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier American Uranium Inc. (“PUR”, the “Company” or “Premier American Uranium”) (TSXV: PUR) (OTCQB: PAUIF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) dated September 14, 2026, with DISA Uranium™ Corporation (“DISA Uranium”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell to DISA Uranium all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Outlaw Mesa, Atkinson Mesa, Monogram Mesa and Slick Rock Projects located in Colorado (the “Colorado Package”) for aggregate consideration of approximately US$2,000,000, consisting of 25,413 shares of DISA Uranium (“DISA Uranium Shares”) and warrants to acquire an equivalent number of DISA Uranium Shares (the “Transaction”). Concurrently, DISA Uranium will make a strategic equity investment in subscription receipts of PUR (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of C$0.75 per Subscription Receipt (the “Offering Price”), for aggregate proceeds of US$5,000,000, expected to result in an approximately 8.7% ownership interest in PUR (the “Equity Investment”). This represents a 41.5% premium to the closing price of PUR shares on September 14, 2026.
DISA Uranium is a new, well-capitalized American uranium production platform pursuing a supply chain growth strategy across conventional uranium production, remediation and recovery, and future domestic processing. Concurrent with its recently completed transaction with IsoEnergy Ltd. (“IsoEnergy”), DISA Uranium closed a US$105 million private placement financing backed by leading mining, energy and technology investors, including Tembo Capital, BHP Ventures, Galvanize Climate Solutions, Valor Equity Partners, Evok Innovations, Halliburton Labs and Veriten. Its portfolio includes the permitted, past-producing Tony M, Daneros and Rim mines and the Sage Plain and Flatiron projects in Utah, complemented by its proprietary HPSA™ technology and NRC-licensed abandoned uranium mine remediation and recovery platform.
Highlights
Unlocks Value While Retaining Upside: PUR will receive US$2,000,000 in DISA Uranium Shares, together with an equal number of warrants, monetizing its non-core Colorado assets while retaining exposure to their future development and gaining participation in the growth of DISA Uranium’s broader U.S. uranium platform.Strategic Investment in PUR at a Significant Premium: DISA Uranium will make a concurrent Equity Investment in PUR at C$0.75 per Subscription Receipt, reflecting a 41.5% premium to the last close of PUR shares, resulting in an approximately 8.7% ownership interest and providing additional capital to advance PUR’s core portfolio. Subject to maintaining a specified ownership threshold, DISA Uranium will receive customary participation rights and the right to nominate one director to PUR’s Board of Directors. Greyson Buckingham, CEO of DISA Uranium is expected to join PUR’s Board upon closing. Exposure to a Well-Capitalized U.S. Uranium Platform: Through PUR’s equity position in DISA Uranium, PUR shareholders will gain exposure to a well-capitalized U.S. uranium platform backed by US$105 million of financing and leading mining, energy and technology investors, with conventional uranium assets, proprietary recovery technology and an NRC-licensed remediation business.Strategic Relationship Could Unlock New Development Options for Cebolleta: Given the nature of Cebolleta’s sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization, PUR believes that the project could be well suited to benefit from DISA Uranium’s HPSA™ technology. The technology has the potential to increase grade by rejecting waste mass prior to downstream processing which could unlock operating and processing scenarios not previously considered for Cebolleta, including opportunities to simplify processing and reduce mine-site infrastructure. Together with DISA Uranium’s planned regional processing capacity, this could provide PUR with additional development pathways to evaluate as it continues to advance and optimize Cebolleta.Disciplined Portfolio Strategy: The Transaction further focuses PUR’s portfolio and capital allocation on advancing the Cebolleta, Kaycee and Cyclone projects, supporting the Company’s strategy to build value through the exploration, advancement and optimization of its core U.S. uranium assets. Colin Healey, CEO and Director of PUR commented, “This Transaction once again demonstrates our ability to execute on PUR’s strategy of disciplined capital allocation. By monetizing our non-core Colorado assets, we are unlocking value while retaining meaningful exposure to their future potential through our equity position in DISA Uranium. At the same time, DISA Uranium’s strategic investment in PUR at a premium provides additional capital to support our core portfolio and creates strong alignment between our companies.
We believe DISA Uranium is building a differentiated U.S. uranium platform, and we are pleased to participate in its future growth while maintaining our focus on advancing Cebolleta, Kaycee and Cyclone. The relationship also creates potential strategic opportunities for Cebolleta, including the evaluation of DISA Uranium’s HPSA™ technology and future regional processing capacity, which could provide additional development pathways as we continue to advance and optimize the project.”
Greyson Buckingham, CEO of DISA Uranium commented, “Our investment in PUR extends the relationship beyond the Colorado Portfolio and gives DISA Uranium a direct interest in PUR’s continued growth. Together, the investment and Board position create long-term alignment between the companies and a foundation to explore future opportunities across PUR’s broader U.S. portfolio, including where our technology and planned processing capabilities may add value. I look forward to joining PUR’s Board and contributing to its next stage of development.”

The microbiome of patients experiencing recurrent CDI is frequently dominated by overgrowths of Enterococcus species This study evaluated the in vitro bactericidal and molecular efficacy of ibezapolstat (IBZ), vancomycin (VAN), and fidaxomicin (FDX) against C. difficile and Enterococcus in standalone and complex co-culture environments These findings demonstrate that Enterococcus creates a protective microenvironment that actively impairs C. difficile killing using standard of care antibiotic regimens IBZ maintained superior bactericidal activity under co-culture conditions, including further decreasing Clostridioides difficile toxin B (TcdB) expression while simultaneously eradicating vancomycin-resistant bacterial overgrowth Acurx has previously been granted FDA QIDP and Fast-Track Designation and has received SME (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) designation by the EMA , /PRNewswire/ -- Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACXP) a late clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a new class of antibiotics for difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, announced today that a scientific poster entitled: Comparative In Vitro Killing Kinetics of Ibezapolstat and Comparator Antibiotics in Clostridioides difficile and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus Co-Cultures was presented at the 9th International C. difficile Symposium held in Bled, Slovenia from September 8-10, 2026. The poster was presented by Dr. Eugenie Bassères, Research Scientist, University of Houston College of Pharmacy.
All vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) strains demonstrated high-level resistance to VAN (MIC >128 μg/mL), whereas IBZ and FDX exhibited equivalent lower susceptibility thresholds (MIC range: 2–16 μg/mL). In monoculture, IBZ displayed potent bactericidal activity against C. difficile non-inferior to FDX (p ≥ 0.2381). Enterococcus co-culture with C. difficile created severe microbial interference that impaired C. difficile killing across all antibiotic arms, decreasing killing by up to 2.90 logs; however, IBZ maintained the highest residual anti-C. difficile performance (5.51-log reduction), significantly outperforming VAN (p = 0.0112). Conversely, C. difficile presence exerted negligible interference on VRE killing, where IBZ and FDX maintained robust anti-VRE killing while VAN remained inactive. At the transcriptional level, all treatments significantly suppressed TcdB gene abundance compared to the experimental laboratory control while IBZ showed statistically significant superiority over the other two antibiotics in decreasing the VanA cluster (ibezapolstat, vancomycin and fidaxomicin)
The study was performed at the University of Houston laboratory of Kevin Garey, PharmD, MS, FIDSA, Professor and Chair, University of Houston College of Pharmacy, and Principal Investigator for microbiology and microbiome aspects of the ibezapolstat clinical trial program. Commenting on the significance of the results of the study, Dr. Garey stated: "These new data add to the growing body of evidence supporting ibezapolstat's unique antibacterial pharmacology to kill C. difficile while preserving the microbiome. Prior studies have shown that Enterococcus increases the severity of C. difficile infection. This study adds in vitro evidence that ibezapolstat doesn't cause overgrowth of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus and also maintains killing efficacy against C. difficile strains."
Robert J. DeLuccia, Executive Chairman of Acurx, stated: "If these results are validated in our Phase 3 registration program, and ultimately in clinical practice, for the treatment of patients with CDI, ibezapolstat's activity has the potential to reduce the nosocomial emergence of the critical pathogen VRE while treating CDI." He further stated: "Adding to the totality of data on ibezapolstat from studies such as this increase our confidence in a successful outcome of our clinical trial program and continue to elevate our favorable product profile and attractive value proposition, including in-market competitive advantage compared to vancomycin and fidaxomicin, the current standards of care for acute CDI, particularly for the reduction of recurrence".

Acurx previously reported the successful outcome of a Type C Meeting conducted with FDA on July 13, 2026 to discuss ibezapolstat's Phase 3 clinical program and scope of its planned NDA. The Agency stated that it is open to further discussion at a Pre-NDA Meeting regarding the possibility of submitting an NDA with only a single Phase 3 trial, depending on the totality of the clinical data plus any other supportive data that Acurx may generate by that milestone. The Agency noted that determination of acceptability of one Phase 3 clinical trial for an NDA is made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration such factors as the magnitude, consistency, and overall robustness of the efficacy results; generalizability of the results to the US population; relevance of the results to US patient care and clinical practice guidelines; Phase 2 data; and an adequate safety database. The Agency acknowledged Acurx's planned clinical trial in recurrent CDI (rCDI) and noted the data from this rCDI trial, if successful, will support an NDA submission. If the IBZ-ASPIRE trial does not meet these criteria, then a second trial consistent with the agreement reached at the end of Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting on April 27, 2024 is recommended.
The currently planned IBZ-ASPIRE trial is of non-inferiority design with the primary efficacy analysis in the Modified Intent-To-Treat (mITT) population. This will result in approximately 550 subjects in the mITT population, randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either ibezapolstat or standard-of-care vancomycin. The Agency also agreed with the overall trial design and evaluation criteria and further agreed that the trial testing criteria, if successful, could support indications for both the acute treatment and the reduction of recurrence of CDI. In the event non-inferiority of ibezapolstat to vancomycin for Clinical Cure of CDI is demonstrated, further analyses will be conducted to test for superiority for reduction of recurrence and for clinical cure of CDI.
Acurx also previously announced that it is conducting a new clinical trial (IBZ-PATHFINDER) in patients with multiply recurrent C. difficile Infection (rCDI) while its program in the broader CDI patient population is ready to advance to Phase 3 international clinical trials (IBZ-ASPIRE), subject to receiving appropriate funding. This new IBZ-PATHFINDER clinical trial in rCDI involves an open-label pilot trial to gain experience with IBZ in patients with multiply-recurrent CDI with at least 3 episodes of CDI within the past 12 months.
About the International C. difficile Symposium (ICDS)
The International C. difficile Symposium (ICDS) is established as the premier venue for the review of Clostridium difficile research. The first meeting was held in Kranjska Gora in 2004, the 2nd in Maribor in 2007, while all earlier meetings were in Bled in 2010, 2012, 2015 and in 2018. ICDS in 2020 was held virtually. The 2026 meeting will provide a forum for the C. difficile community to exchange knowledge across disciplines, from epidemiology and diagnostics to clinical trials and basic research, fostering innovative approaches to understanding pathogenesis and improving disease control.
About the Ibezapolstat Phase 2 Clinical Trial
The completed multicenter, open-label single-arm segment (Phase 2a) study was followed by a double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, non-inferiority, segment (Phase 2b) at 28 US clinical trial sites which together comprise the Phase 2 clinical trial. (see https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04247542). This Phase 2 clinical trial was designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of ibezapolstat in the treatment of CDI including pharmacokinetics and microbiome changes from baseline and continue to test for anti-recurrence microbiome properties seen in the Phase 2a trial, including the treatment-related changes in alpha diversity and bacterial abundance and effects on bile acid metabolism. (Data published in Lancet, August 2025 https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(25)00054-0/fulltext).
About Ibezapolstat
Ibezapolstat is the Company's lead antibiotic candidate planning to advance to international Phase 3 clinical trials to treat patients with C. difficile infection. Ibezapolstat is a novel, orally administered antibiotic, being developed as a Gram-Positive Selective Spectrum (GPSS®) antibacterial. It is the first of a new class of DNA polymerase IIIC inhibitors under development by Acurx to treat bacterial infections. Ibezapolstat's unique spectrum of activity, which includes C. difficile but spares other Firmicutes and the important Actinobacteria phyla, appears to contribute to the maintenance of a healthy gut microbiome.
In June 2018, ibezapolstat was designated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) for the treatment of patients with CDI and will be eligible to benefit from the incentives for the development of new antibiotics established under the Generating New Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) Act. In 2019, FDA granted "Fast Track" designation to ibezapolstat for the treatment of patients with CDI. The CDC has designated C. difficile as an urgent threat highlighting the need for new antibiotics to treat CDI.
About Clostridioides difficile Infection (CDI) and Recurrent CDI (rCDI)
According to the 2017 Update (published February 2018) of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for C. difficile Infection by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the Society of Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA), CDI remains a significant medical problem in hospitals, in long-term care facilities and in the community. C. difficile is one of the most common causes of health care-associated infections in U.S. hospitals (Lessa, 2015, NEJM). Recent estimates suggest C. difficile approaches 500,000 infections annually in the U.S. and is associated with approximately 30,000 deaths annually. (Guh, 2020, NEJM. Based on internal estimates, the recurrence rate for the antibiotics currently used to treat CDI is between 20% and 40%. We believe the annual incidence of CDI in the U.S. approaches 600,000 infections and a mortality rate of approximately 9.3%.
In recent studies, rCDI ranges from 4% to 19.5% following treatment with fidaxomicin and 17 to 27% following treatment with vancomycin. In patients with multiple prior episodes of CDI, rCDI following treatment with vancomycin is even more problematic, with an incidence of up to 40%. Consequently, the principal unmet medical need in this disease is the prevention of recurrence. The estimated annual public health cost burden in the U.S. annually is ~$5 billion annually with ~$2.8 billion due to recurrent CDI.
About the Microbiome in C. difficile Infection (CDI) and Bile Acid Metabolism
C. difficile can be a normal component of the healthy gut microbiome, but when the microbiome is thrown out of balance, the C. difficile can thrive and cause an infection. After colonization with C. difficile, the organism produces and releases the main virulence factors, the two large clostridial toxins A (TcdA) and B (TcdB). (Kachrimanidou, Microorganisms 2020, 8, 200; doi:10.3390/microorganisms8020200.) TcdA and TcdB are exotoxins that bind to human intestinal epithelial cells and are responsible for inflammation, fluid and mucous secretion, as well as damage to the intestinal mucosa.
Bile acids perform many functional roles in the GI tract, with one of the most important being maintenance of a healthy microbiome by inhibiting C. difficile growth. Primary bile acids, which are secreted by the liver into the intestines, promote germination of C. difficile spores and thereby increase the risk of recurrent CDI after successful treatment of an initial episode. On the other hand, secondary bile acids, which are produced by normal gut microbiota through metabolism of primary bile acids, do not induce C. difficile sporulation and therefore protect against recurrent disease. Since ibezapolstat treatment leads to minimal disruption of the gut microbiome, bacterial production of secondary bile acids continues which may contribute to an anti-recurrence effect. Beneficial effects of bile acids include a decrease in primary bile acids and an increase in secondary bile acids in patients with CDI, which was observed in the Company's Ph2a trial results and previously reported (CID, 2022). In the Ph2b trial, ibezapolstat-treated patients showed lower concentrations of fecal primary bile acids, and higher beneficial ratio of secondary to primary bile acids than vancomycin-treated patients.
About Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Acurx Pharmaceuticals is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a new class of small molecule antibiotics for difficult-to-treat bacterial infections. The Company's approach is to develop antibiotic candidates with a Gram-positive selective spectrum (GPSS®) that blocks the active site of the Gram-positive specific bacterial enzyme DNA polymerase IIIC (pol IIIC), inhibiting DNA replication and leading to Gram-positive bacterial cell death. Its R&D pipeline includes antibiotic product candidates that target Gram-positive bacteria, including Clostridioides difficile, methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin resistant Enterococcus (VRE), drug- resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (DRSP) and B. anthracis (anthrax; a Bioterrorism Category A Threat-Level pathogen). Acurx's lead product candidate, ibezapolstat, for the treatment of C. difficile Infection is preparing to advance into international Phase 3 trials.
Additionally, the Company has initiated start-up activities for a ground-breaking clinical trial in patients with rCDI with the first patient expected to enroll in the fourth quarter this year. This trial is a 20-patient, open-label pilot trial in patients with multiply-recurrent CDI with at least 3 episodes of CDI in the past year and will inform elements of a planned active-controlled, Phase 3 registration trial in the rCDI. Upon subsequent successful completion of a Ph3 pivotal rCDI trial, and per the operative FDA procedure, Acurx plans to request FDA approval for treatment and prevention of rCDI under the FDA's Limited Population Pathway for Antibacterial and Antifungal Drugs (Guidance for Industry, 2020). Successful trial outcome has the potential to shift the paradigm of treatment and prevention of rCDI from two agents to one.
The Company's preclinical pipeline includes development of an oral product candidate for treatment of ABSSSI (Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections), upon which a development program for post-exposure prophylaxis of inhalation anthrax is being planned in parallel.

Volkswagen's overhaul has put the leader of Lower Saxony in a bind: backing deep job cuts in the carmaker's biggest restructuring in history while trying to fend off the far-right AfD party that is making gains around the country.
The northwestern German state, home to Volkswagen's HQ and six of its plants, is a key shareholder in the embattled company. It is headed for municipal elections this Sunday, with polls showing the Alternative fuer Deutschland has made inroads.
Leading the balancing act is Olaf Lies, premier of Lower Saxony with the state's co-ruling Social Democratic (SPD) party and a member of Volkswagen's supervisory board.
At a board meeting last week, Lies dropped his opposition to a restructuring plan that could see well over 100,000 layoffs at the group as it battles a challenge from China and U.S. tariffs. He argued that a no-deal with management could have imperilled the carmaker even more than painful cuts.
AFD BLAMES POLITICAL MEDDLING
Lower Saxony is one of the few states in Germany where the AfD has not yet overtaken Lies' SPD in the polls, but the gap is closing and Volkswagen's overhaul has heightened fears among traditional parties about voters switching to the AfD.
"We have to convey the certainty that we can solve these problems. Otherwise, extremist forces will get a boost," Lies told Reuters, defending his dual role against critics who say political influence only hinders Volkswagen's ability to act.
The AfD argues that Germany's auto industry woes are largely caused by political meddling, pointing to the European Union's 2035 combustion engine phase-out - something top auto executives and mainstream politicians have also criticised.
With talks over plant closures still looming, the political stakes are rising. After a historic election victory in neighbouring Saxony-Anhalt, the AfD is targeting gains in Lower Saxony this weekend and in next year's state election.
While the AfD's own policies to bolster German industry are yet to be fully fleshed out as it has been in opposition, it is very critical of establishment parties and could be quick to seize on any perceived failings in saving Volkswagen.
"There is concern that this uncertainty among employees will play into the hands of the AfD in the local elections, particularly at Volkswagen locations," Sebastian Lechner, state leader for the opposition conservative CDU party, told Reuters.
SELLING DEAL TO THE VOTERS
Lies faces the daunting task of selling — or at least explaining — job cuts to his voters.
Before eventually bowing to what would be another 50,000 layoffs at Volkswagen under current cost targets, Lies had fiercely opposed the plans.
The leader of the AfD's state faction, Ansgar Schledde, said in a statement to Reuters the plans to cut jobs and review Volkswagen's structure were "a catastrophe for tens of thousands of families".
Targeting Lies, Schledde said: "He didn't fix the problem."
The AfD is also a staunch critic of Germany's main industrial union IG Metall, whose top members sit on the supervisory board alongside the state of Lower Saxony and representatives of Volkswagen's controlling Porsche and Piech families. The union argues that the party and its affiliated labour groups only seek to weaken workers' collective voice.
'THE REAL CONFLICTS ARE JUST BEGINNING'
The restructuring deal at Volkswagen averted a more radical overhaul that could have sidelined the state's influence completely. Lies also said it bought more time to find alternatives for the four Volkswagen plants threatened with closure in the 2030s.
The balancing act in Lower Saxony reflects a wider political challenge in Europe's biggest economy as high costs, tariffs and aggressive Chinese competition squeeze business and consumers, riling up voter anger with the political status quo.
Ingo Speich, of Volkswagen shareholder Deka Investment, said politicians on the board risked conflicts of interest and that they might not be able to dedicate the time and attention needed to steer a major company through a period of crisis.
Lower Saxony, which holds a 20% stake in Volkswagen, appoints two supervisory board members to the 20-member committee, typically the head of government and another minister.
The carmaker's Emden factory is located in the premier's home region on Germany's northwestern coast. Zwickau — another EV-only plant that also risks closure — is almost 500 km (300 miles) southeast in Saxony, whose state government does not enjoy the same shareholder status.
Automotive analyst Stefan Bratzel said he expected at least two of the four plants to close, with tough discussions expected well into next year's election campaign.
"There are conflicting aims here — that's perfectly clear," Bratzel said, commenting on Lies' role as both politician and shareholder. "The real conflicts are just beginning."
However, he also said the AfD did not give a "good impression" regarding the future of the auto industry. "They are a bit stuck in the past and believe that jobs can be saved by combustion engines and the old world of automaking."

Workers at Yancoal Australia's (YAL.AX) Premier coal mine voted in favour of a strike, seeking higher pay and greater certainty over entitlements and future earnings, the Mining and Energy Union (MEU) said on Wednesday.
Here are the details:
More than 90% of MEU members supported every proposed action, including stoppages longer than 12 hours, but did not say when they would go on strike.
The strike is also backed by members of the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union, with 93% voting in favour.
The Premier coal mine, which supplies coal to power generators in Western Australia, is expected to close around the end of the decade amid Western Australia's transition away from government-owned coal-fired power generation by 2030.
The union explained that the current agreement includes six possible roster arrangements, some of which could affect redundancy calculations if implemented.
Yancoal Australia did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Its majority shareholder is Chinese state-backed miner Yankuang Energy (600188.SS).
Australian miners are facing rising cases of industrial action, amid inflation and changes to workplace laws under the Labor government.
Premier African Minerals Ltd (AIM:PREM, OTC:PRMMF) shares dropped more than 27% to 0.1p on Friday after the company outlined plans to seek authority to issue tens of billions of new shares as it looks to fund the Zulu lithium project and strengthen its balance sheet.
Premier called a general meeting for 23 September, where shareholders will vote on proposals including authority to issue up to 58.63 billion ordinary shares to support the operational and funding plan for its Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project in Zimbabwe.
A further 5.40 billion shares could be issued to settle outstanding creditor obligations, including approximately US$880,000 owed to J R Goddard Contracting and US$289,064 owed to China Zenith Capital.
Another resolution would authorise up to 8.57 billion shares for Canmax Technologies under existing conversion rights.
Premier's current financial forecast identifies a funding requirement of around $19.1 million through to the end of 2027, with the proposed initial share authority providing capacity to raise approximately $12.7 million based on a 0.016p share price.
Shareholders will also be asked to approve a further 10-for-one share consolidation, aimed at reducing the company's more than 50 billion shares currently in issue.
Premier cautioned that it has limited funds and needs additional financing to meet its obligations, warning that failure to secure funding could materially affect both Zulu and the group's financial position.

Our Take on Truist’s Latest InitiativeThe expansion of Truist Premier is a positive, as the increase in deposit production points to solid early traction. The strategy should help the company strengthen its mass affluent franchise while creating opportunities to expand fee-generating services and wealth-management relationships. This is supported by higher wealth management income, highlighting the potential for deeper integration between banking and investment services.
Still, execution remains important, particularly around advisor expansion and the adoption of digital planning tools. If the company can sustain deposit momentum and successfully deepen client relationships, Premier could become a meaningful contributor to the company's longer-term growth. The strategy also aligns with the company's broader focus on fee income, with management expecting non-interest income to increase 10% in 2026.
Over the past year, TFC shares have gained 7.5%, compared with the industry's 29.8% increase.

Fenway Sports Group sold a minority stake in Liverpool Football Club to a consortium including Jeff Bezos on Friday, in a deal worth over $7 billion.
Almost 16 years after the Boston-based group rescued Liverpool from the brink of administration for a cut-price £300 million ($405.9 million), FSG partially cashes out with an enormous return on investment after a remarkable turnaround that saw the Merseyside club win multiple domestic and European trophies.
But while English football clubs are increasingly drawing interest from sophisticated investors across the globe, they remain risky and often unprofitable ventures.
Deloitte's annual football finance review found that aggregate pre-tax losses for the 20 English Premier League clubs totaled £948 million in the 2024/25 season, a "notable deterioration" of more than 600% from the previous season.
Only eight clubs reported an operating profit that year, compared to 13 in the season before, according to Deloitte.
Inflated transfer fees for players are a key driver of high operating costs.
"With expenditure on player transfers having grown to keep pace with the ever-escalating race for talent, the likelihood is that this will have been another year of substantial financial losses," Deloitte researchers wrote.
But FSG's Liverpool deal demonstrates the opportunity to buy undervalued assets and sell them on at higher prices later, with growing interest in the game propelling teams to ever-higher valuations.
"Even if you're not making a profit day-in, day-out, the value of the asset is still going up, and there are plenty of assets within it that can then be licensed out," Richard Haigh, global managing director at Brand Finance, told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Monday.
This is down to the reputation and scarcity that specifically elite clubs can offer, Haigh said.
"The English Premier League really does help UK soft power," he added. "It is one of the oldest leagues in the sporting world, it has a global reach, and it is extremely lucrative in boosting business values to those who sponsor it."
How are clubs diversifying income streams? Clubs are increasingly optimizing their existing revenue streams, such as matchday ticketing revenues.
"The other thing that American sports do incredibly well, which investors are looking to do in Europe, is that the stadium and surrounding real estate is a 24/7, 365-day revenue generator rather than a place that only makes money once every two weeks," said Lewis Gaut, partner and sports finance specialist at Goodwin.
UBS wrote in June that Tottenham Hotspur FC's new stadium, built in 2019 and costing £1.2 billion, contributed to commercial income jumping from £117 million in 2018 to £215 million in 2022.
In 2026, the stadium has hosted major music acts including Gorillaz, Bad Bunny and K-pop giants BTS. It is also the first purpose-built NFL stadium outside of the U.S., and hosts at least two games each year.
"Sports villages, which can offer multiple sports and other events in one destination, help to ensure that money is being generated at all times," Gaut added.
Manchester United has confirmed plans to build a new 100,000-seat stadium as part of a wider regeneration project around the local wharfside. It is estimated to cost in the region of £2 billion.
UBS said the aim of these ambitious stadium projects reflects a "broader reassessment of what football clubs represent economically: scarce assets with diversified cash flows rather than purely sporting or cultural projects."
While the benefits from infrastructure investment can take several years to materialize, investors are more focused on expanding and driving independent revenue streams.
"People buying these franchises know that sports assets are loss-making, so that's no surprise to them," Amber Pinto, partner at sports investment agency Pinto Capital, told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Friday.
"Costs are of course important, but they're not the full picture when it comes to looking at why someone is going to invest or buy into a top ten sports franchise nowadays."

TORONTO, Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier American Uranium Inc. (“PUR”, the “Company” or “Premier American Uranium”) (TSXV: PUR) (OTCQB: PAUIF) is pleased to report encouraging mid-season results from its ongoing 100,000-foot 2026 exploration drilling program at the Company’s wholly-owned Kaycee Project (“Kaycee” or the “Project”) in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. Since drilling commenced in early May, 50 conventional mud-rotary drillholes totaling 41,960 feet have been completed across the Rustler and Outpost target areas, representing approximately 42% of the planned 100,000-foot program (Figure 1).
2026 Program Highlights
Uranium mineralization encountered across Rustler: Thirteen of 22 holes drilled in the Rustler target area (drill holes RT26-082 through RT26-104) encountered uranium mineralization at grades of 0.02% eU₃O₈ or higher (Table 1). Notably, hole RT26-085 intersected 3.5 ft grading 0.135% eU₃O₈, including 2 ft grading 0.204% eU₃O₈, confirming the presence of uranium mineralization within the system.Two distinct mineralized sandstone units identified at Rustler: Drilling has confirmed uranium mineralization within two separate sandstone units in the lower Wasatch Formation, the principal host formation for uranium deposits in the adjoining Pumpkin Buttes mining district. Uranium mineralization has been encountered in both sands, and gamma ray borehole geophysical log results indicate possible stacked roll fronts in the upper unit. Oxidation states of the two sandstone units indicate that the two mineralized systems are independent of one another, with the redox boundary in the lower sand unit well to the east of the redox boundary in the upper sand, providing multiple prospective trends for ongoing exploration (Figure 2).Additional uranium mineralization encountered at Outpost: Seven of 27 holes completed (drill holes LT26-074 through LT26-100) at the Outpost target encountered uranium mineralization grading 0.02% eU₃O₈ or higher (Table 1 and Figure 3).Growing geological model guiding ongoing drilling: Combined 2025 and 2026 results at Rustler are providing an increasingly detailed picture of subsurface channel geometry and associated mineralized trends. Radiometric assay results and borehole geophysical data are being incorporated in real time to refine the geological model and guide subsequent drill locations. Colin Healey, CEO of PUR commented, “We’re seeing good success from our 2026 program at Kaycee, with nearly half of the planned 100,000 feet of drilling now complete. With approximately 430 miles of interpreted roll fronts, we believe we are just beginning to unlock the potential of this large mineralized system. This year’s drilling is focused on systematically testing that potential, identifying the extents of mineralization in the targeted areas and identifying the areas with the greatest opportunity to build pounds. The results at Rustler are particularly encouraging, with mineralization identified in two distinct sandstone units and indications of potentially stacked roll fronts. As we continue drilling, our goal is to advance these mineralized trends and build the geological understanding needed to ultimately define a meaningful uranium resource at Kaycee.”

Notes: Drill holes reported here encountered uranium mineralization at or above a cut-off grade of 0.02% eU₃O₈. All grades were calculated from gamma-ray logs measured by Hawkins CBM Logging of Casper, Wyoming, which is independent of the Company. The geophysical results are based on equivalent uranium (eU3O8) of the gamma-ray probes which are calibrated at the Department of Energy’s test facility in Casper, Wyoming. Uranium grades cited are calculated from gamma-ray logs, and the cited grades are “equivalent” (“e”) grades of U₃O₈ %. eU₃O₈ is a measure of gamma intensity from a decay product of uranium and is not a direct measurement of uranium. No corrections were made for radiometric disequilibrium. Numerous comparisons of eU₃O₈ and chemical assays of PRB core samples indicate that eU₃O₈ is a reasonable indicator of the actual uranium assay. All drill holes are vertical in orientation and the geologic units hosting the uranium mineralization are generally very flat lying, therefore reported thicknesses represent true thicknesses.

Kaycee Project
The Kaycee Project in Wyoming's Powder River Basin (PRB) consists of over 42 square miles of mineral rights over a 36-mile mineralized trend hosting more than 110 miles of identified roll fronts (Figure 4). The Project is believed to be the only project in the PRB where all three known historically productive sandstone formations (Wasatch, Fort Union, and Lance) are mineralized and potentially accessible for ISR extraction. The Project represents the largest grass-roots ISR exploration project in the United States, with upwards of 400,000 ft of drilling completed since 2023.
PUR anchors one of the strongest exploration portfolios in Wyoming, combining its Cyclone Project in the Great Divide Basin with Kaycee to drive one of the largest ongoing drilling programs in the state and significantly expand its presence in both of the state’s major ISR-amenable uranium districts.

BISMARCK, N.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Everus Construction Group (NYSE: ECG) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Epsilon Industries, a premier designer and manufacturer of complex, modular mechanical and electrical building infrastructure systems, for $295 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments. With more than 25 years of experience providing off-site construction solutions across North America, Epsilon is recognized in the industry for its innovation.
Premier African Minerals Ltd (AIM:PREM, OTC:PRMMF) shares moved 11% lower on Wednesday, down to 0.015p, after the mining junior announced it is raising £550,000 of new equity to maintain operations at its Zulu lithium and tantalum project while negotiations continue with Canmax Technologies over an extension to the Long Stop Date to a previously agreed prepayment and offtake transaction.
The AIM-listed miner issued 4 billion new shares at 0.01375p each through a direct subscription, with the newly issued shares representing roughly 8% of the enlarged issued capital.
Premier said the proceeds would principally fund operating expenditure at Zulu, the continuation of mining and stockpiling, working capital and payments to essential creditors.
Managing director Graham Hill said the funding would support preparations for the next production and optimisation campaign once a revised operating timetable had been confirmed.
"The company will provide shareholders with a further update once discussions with Canmax have concluded or upon any material development," he added.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 28, 2026) - Cambria Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: CAMB) (OTCQX: CAMVF) ("Cambria" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional assay results from the underground infill drilling program at the Prew Zone of the Premier-Northern Light deposit at the Premier Gold Project ("PGP" or the "Premier Project"), located near Stewart in northwestern British Columbia. Results from a total of 3,151 metres over 42 underground drillholes are reported herein. Highlight results include:
24.36 g/t Au over 6.3 m (incl. 76.70 g/t Au over 1.8 m) in hole P26U-002313.17 g/t Au over 10.6 m (incl. 64.66 g/t Au over 1.9 m) in hole P26U-00268.31 g/t Au over 11.0 m (incl. 22.13 g/t Au over 2.8 m & 17.70 g/t Au over 1.0 m) in hole P26U-00333.30 g/t Au over 25.0 m (incl. 42.90 g/t Au over 1.0 m) in hole P26U-00347.89 g/t Au over 8.0 m (incl. 17.00 g/t Au over 3.0 m) in hole P26U-0014"Drilling continues to define wide, high-grade areas as well as important understanding of post mineral faults at the Prew Zone; additional underground infill drilling will recommence subsequent to proposed additional underground development planned for Q4 at Premier-Northern Lights, located adjacent to the Company's 2,500 tonnes per day mill," said Robert McLeod, President and CEO of Cambria Gold Mines. "At the Silver Coin and Big Missouri deposits, our geological teams have remodelled wide zones of gold mineralization associated with contiguous quartz and sulphide breccias that were historically mined in the 1940s and 1990s. Infill drilling is underway on these structures."
The 2026 infill program at the Premier Project is focused on providing the drill spacing required for accurate mine planning and development decisions as Cambria advances toward a potential restart of the Premier mill and mining operations at the Premier and Red Mountain Projects. The Company believes that a significant contributor to the difficulties encountered during previous mining operations under Ascot Resources was the lack of sufficient definition drilling as well as accurate geological modelling prior to production.
Drilling at 12.5 metre average spacing is proving successful in defining continuity of higher-grade mineralization along a primary quartz-breccia sulfide domain identifiable both in drilling and the existing underground workings. Higher grades (>10 g/t Au) are often associated with visible gold or massive sulfide mineralization hosted in a wider halo of gold-bearing base metal sulfide mineralization. Sections shown in figures 3 and 4 illustrate the continuity of higher grades between drillholes on and along section. These appear to be analogous to what were defined as "ore shoots" during historic mining of the Premier-Northern Light Deposit.
The first phase of underground infill at the Prew Zone is now complete, with assay results from an additional 86 drill holes expected over the coming weeks. Once all assays have been returned, the information will be used to develop underground mining plans and guide additional infill drilling for the Prew Zone. The focus of the infill program has moved to two other priority deposits within the Premier Project, with three drills currently turning at the Silver Coin and Big Missouri deposits. Similar to the drilling at Prew Zone, high priority zones at each deposit will be drilled with a tight spacing utilizing surface drill platforms.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control and Sample Preparation
All samples reported in this news release were obtained from NQ sized drill core. The Company maintains a rigorous sampling and QA/QC procedure for the 2026 drill program. Core samples are prepared at the ALS preparation lab in Terrace, BC. The samples are dried and then crushed to specifications of 70% passing 2mm. Crushed samples are riffle split to 1000g and pulverized to 85% passing 75µm.
Analytical work for all results is completed by ALS Canada Ltd. which maintains an internal quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) program and is ISO:17025 certified for the analytical methods used in this release. Pulp splits are sent directly from the Terrace preparation facility to the ALS Canada Ltd. geochemistry laboratory facility in North Vancouver for analysis. Each sample is analyzed for gold by conventional 50g fire assay with atomic absorption finish (Au-AA26) and multielement analysis by four-acid digest with an ICP finish (ME-ICP61).
Samples over 100ppm gold are re-analyzed by an overlimit 50g fire assay with a gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22). Samples over 100ppm silver are re-analyzed with an ore grade method (ME-OG62) which is a four-acid digest method followed by an ICP-AES finish (up to 1,500ppm). Samples over 1,500ppm silver trigger the overlimit silver fire assay method (Ag-GRA21) which uses a 30g aliquot and gravimetric finish. Sampling and storage activities are conducted at the Company's secure facility in Stewart, British Columbia.
The Company maintains a QAQC program that includes the submission and review of coarse blank materials to monitor contamination and certified reference materials to assess analytical accuracy. Core duplicates, crush duplicates and pulp duplicates are used to infer sampling precision and nugget effect.

Sheba Medical Center, which is ranked the #7 hospital in the world, has chosen to evaluate and fund a trial of Valion Bio's Entolimod in cancer patients, creating a second clinical development pathway beyond Acute Radiation Syndrome.
Highlights
Independent Validation — Sheba Medical Center, ranked the #7 hospital in the world, selected Entolimod for clinical evaluation in cancer patients based on its potential to reduce radiation-induced neutropenia and protect healthy tissue during radiation therapy. Second Major Commercial Opportunity — This study expands Entolimod beyond Acute Radiation Syndrome into radiation-induced neutropenia and supportive oncology care, representing a substantially larger commercial market. Independent Clinical Value Driver — The study establishes a second clinical development pathway alongside Valion Bio's FDA Animal Rule program, as a medical countermeasure for Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS). Capital Efficient Development — Sheba is planning to fund and conduct the trial, enabling Valion Bio to generate independent clinical data with minimal incremental investment. , /PRNewswire/ -- Valion Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: VBIO) today announced a major clinical development milestone with the finalization of an clinical trial protocol at Sheba Medical Center, one of the world's leading hospitals, to evaluate Entolimod in cancer patients receiving high doses of irradiation for a rare form of cancer.
The study, which will enroll up to 10 adult patients, will be conducted by Sheba Medical Center, which approached Valion Bio after recognizing Entolimod's potential to reduce radiation-induced neutropenia and protect healthy tissue during radiation therapy. Under the collaboration, Sheba is planning to fund and conduct the clinical trial, while Valion Bio will provide the investigational drug and support only limited study-related activities outside the standard of care, creating a potential highly capital-efficient opportunity to generate independent clinical data.
"This is a major value-creation milestone for Valion Bio and our shareholders," said Michael K. Handley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Valion Bio. "One of the world's premier hospitals and research centers recognized the potential of Entolimod and approached us to conduct this study. Their willingness to invest their own resources to evaluate Entolimod represents meaningful external validation of our science. More importantly, this collaboration could expand Entolimod beyond biodefense into the multi-billion-dollar supportive oncology market. If successful, Entolimod has the potential to become an important therapy for reducing radiation-induced neutropenia and protecting healthy tissue during cancer treatment, creating a second and potentially much larger commercial opportunity for our lead drug, Entolimod."
Expanding Beyond Biodefense
Entolimod is currently being developed under the U.S. FDA's Animal Rule as a medical countermeasure for Acute Radiation Syndrome. The Sheba study is the first reported formal clinical evaluation of Entolimod in cancer patients receiving therapeutic radiation and represents an important step toward expanding the platform into oncology.
Cancer patients receiving high doses of radiation frequently develop neutropenia, leading to infections, treatment delays, and reduced treatment intensity. The Sheba study will evaluate whether Entolimod can preserve bone marrow function, reduce neutropenia, and improve patients' ability to complete potentially curative radiation therapy.
Sheba Neutropenia Study Near-Term Clinical Catalysts
The Company expects the following development milestones, subject to regulatory and operational requirements:
Institutional Review Board approval: Expected Q3 2026 First patient enrolled: Expected Q4 2026-Q1 2027 Interim data readout: Expected during early 2027 Topline data: Expected in 2027 Each milestone represents an anticipated opportunity to further demonstrate Entolimod's clinical and market potential, as well as a potential opportunity to expand shareholder value.

Predominantly third-line pancreatic cancer patients demonstrated durable survival despite advanced disease; patient who received Namodenoson as second-line therapy remains alive more than 18 months
Ramat Gan, Israel, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (NYSE American: CANF) (TASE: CANF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs targeting oncological and inflammatory diseases, today announced that an abstract highlighting positive results from its Phase 2a study of Namodenoson in patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), has been accepted for poster presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026.
The accepted abstract, entitled "Durable Disease Stabilization with Namodenoson in Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Results from a Phase 2a Study," will be presented as a poster during the ESMO Congress, one of the world's premier scientific meetings in oncology.
The Phase 2a study evaluated oral Namodenoson in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who had progressed following prior standard therapies. As previously announced, the study successfully achieved its primary safety endpoint and demonstrated encouraging survival outcomes together with durable disease stabilization in this difficult-to-treat patient population.
"We are pleased that our abstract has been selected for presentation at ESMO, one of the most prestigious international oncology conferences," said Pnina Fishman, Ph.D., Chairperson and Chief Scientific Officer of Can-Fite BioPharma. "Acceptance by ESMO provides important scientific recognition of our pancreatic cancer program and offers an opportunity to present our clinical findings to the global oncology community. We believe these data further support the continued development of Namodenoson for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer."
Namodenoson is a highly selective A3 adenosine receptor agonist with a unique mechanism of action that induces apoptosis of cancer cells while exhibiting an excellent safety profile. The drug has demonstrated anti-tumor activity across multiple preclinical models, including pancreatic cancer, and is also being developed for hepatocellular carcinoma and MASH.
Can-Fite is currently planning the next stage of clinical development for Namodenoson in pancreatic cancer, with a Phase 2b study designed to evaluate Namodenoson in combination with chemotherapy based on encouraging clinical findings and supportive preclinical evidence demonstrating synergistic anti-tumor activity.
Additional details regarding the poster presentation, including presentation date, session information, and poster number, will be announced when they become available.
About Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is among the most aggressive malignancies and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Patients with advanced disease who progress following standard therapies have limited treatment options and continue to face poor clinical outcomes, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic approaches.
About Namodenoson
Namodenoson is a small orally bioavailable drug that binds with high affinity and selectivity to the A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR). Namodenoson is currently being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 trial for advanced liver cancer, concluded successfully a Phase 2a study in pancreatic cancer and is enrolling patients in a Phase 2b trial for the treatment of Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). A3AR is highly expressed in diseased cells whereas low expression is found in normal cells. This differential expression may be one of the important factors that accounts for the excellent safety profile of the drug.

Alexander Whitehouse
CEO & Director
Thank you very much, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining this, which is our quarter 1 trading update call, and that covers the 13 weeks to the 27th of June this year. As usual, I'm joined on the call this morning by Duncan Leggett, our CFO. I'll start by giving a few headlines on our trading in the quarter, and then we'll go into a few key areas to provide a bit more detail before, as usual, passing to you for questions that you might want to ask us.
And also as a reminder, we're holding our AGM at 11:00 this morning, which, as usual, we're hosting in our offices here in St Albans. So if any shareholders would like to attend and don't yet have the details, please do contact Richard Godden in Investor Relations for details of how to attend.
So on to the quarter 1 results then. Firstly, I am pleased to say that once again, we've grown our branded sales ahead of the market. That's up 4% and so further increased our market shares. And this was led by a particularly strong performance by our branded Sweet Treats. And with our biggest brand, Mr Kipling, delivering especially strong growth.
