Vancouver, BC, Apr 2, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV:DBG)(OTCQB:DBLVF)(FSE:1D4) (the "Company" or "Doubleview") is pleased to share its plans for the upcoming 2025 exploration season for its 100% owned BC projects. Based on the Company's successful 2024 exploration season, which included publishing the Hat Project's maiden resource estimate (‘MRE V1'), exceptional high-grade drill results from its 10,000m drill program (please see the Company's news release from February 05, 2025) and the recently announced collaboration of the Company with Her Excellency Sheikha Sara Nasser Al-Thani of Qmission of Qatar (please see the Company's news release from March 05, 2025), Doubleview is readying its field crews for the upcoming field season.Hat Project - 2025 Program of WorkDoubleview is setting out to continue building on its exploration success at its polymetallic Hat Project. The 2024 drill results have provided important information which is supporting the Company's geological team in understanding the evolution of, and ultimately the entire Hat Deposit ("Hat" or "Deposit") system. The goals of the upcoming drill season are to continue to expand and build the resource to higher levels of confidence, to test newly identified targets to the northwest and east of the Deposit, and to find the source of the system that created the Hat Deposit.Details for the environmental sampling program are currently being finalized. Doubleview's intensions are to implement this work to fulfill regulatory requirements necessary towards further development of the Hat Project. The Preliminary Economic Assessment ("HAT PEA") with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("HAT MRE 2.0") is steadily progressing as expected.President & CEO Farshad Shirvani states: "After achieving several milestones for the Hat Project, it is time to continue its development. Our field crew, technical team and I are excited about the newly acquired information which will guide this year's efforts. Our goals are to find the porphyry system's source, to further advance the integrity of the resource estimate categories, to continue advancing environmental work and building stakeholder relationships. There are less than 90 drill holes at the Hat Project, and we have been able to show tremendous results. At the same time, it is very clear that there are many more opportunities to enhance the Hat Deposit that our team is eager to explore." Mr. Shirvani added: "The Company is continuing its dialogue with Her Excellency Sara Nasser Al-Thani of Qmission of Qatar to build a strong relationship to explore optimal opportunities for both sides. With the worldwide growing attention on critical minerals, by governments and major mining companies alike, we believe that the Company is a great position."Red Spring - 2025 Exploration ProgramPart of Doubleview's portfolio of projects is Red Spring, which is located in central BC, Canada. It is a copper-silver-gold project which in recent exploration programs showed elevated zinc values. With copper and zinc being elements that are listed as Critical Minerals by the Canadian Government, the Red Spring project merits a well-tailored exploration program. For this season an extensive ground IP program is planned which will be followed-up by drilling based on the IP results. The goal of the exploration program is to build on existing data and together with the new results, narrow down the potential deposit type. Currently the two potential deposit types in focus for the project are sediment hosted copper-silver deposits and Eskay Creek type deposits.Doubleview maintains a website at www.doubleview.ca.Qualified Persons:Erik Ostensoe, P.

Proceeds will be used to support ongoing development of the Chvaletice Manganese Project and customer engagements to secure additional offtake term sheets and strategic investments.All defined terms in this press release have the same meaning as set out in the March 6, 2025, press release, unless such terms are otherwise defined herein.Euro Manganese is pleased to report that Mr. Eric Sprott, through 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation which is beneficially owned by him, has agreed to subscribe for 16,666,666 (PC - 83,333,330) New Securities for an investment of C$3.0m (approximately A$3.3m).

This strong response, alongside the continued support from EBRD and Orion, underscores the strategic significance of the Chvaletice Manganese Project to Europe's critical minerals independence and supply chain security, a conviction further reinforced by the recent designation of the Chvaletice Manganese Deposit as a Strategic Deposit by the government of the Czech Republic and the Project's recognition as a Strategic Project under the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act."Details of the Placement and the SPPThe Company has rescheduled the date of its Annual and Special General Meeting ("ASGM") from April 22, 2025, to May 15, 2025, where shareholders will be asked to approve the issuance of New Securities and Warrants to be issued under the Placement and the SPP (collectively referred to as the "Equity Raising").

ATLANTA, GA, Mar 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Despite fears of job loss, Quality Assurance (QA) professionals are leaning into AI faster than ever, according to Katalon’s newly released 2025 State of Software Quality Report. The report reveals that testers using AI tools are twice as likely to fear being replaced by them, a paradox that underscores the profession’s evolving relationship with automation. Yet those with stronger AI fluency aren’t just adapting—they’re testing faster, leveling up their skills, and reclaiming joy in the work that once burned them out.Source: Katalon, 2025 State of Software Quality Report, https://www.katalon.com That shift is fueled by both urgency and intent. As AI reshapes expectations, 82% of QA professionals say AI skills will be critical in the next 3 to 5 years, and teams are already adapting. The report finds that those with higher AI fluency excel not just at using new tools, but in test planning, problem-solving, and applying AI concepts in real-world scenarios.To close the skills gap, 67% of teams are investing in continuous learning, while 53% are adopting AI-driven testing practices to stay ahead. And for the most advanced teams, QA is no longer just a safeguard, it’s a business enabler. In fact, 77% of respondents say aligning QA with business goals has helped improve customer retention.Katalon’s 2025 State of Software Quality Report surveyed over 1500 quality professionals, from engineers to senior executives, across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The report explores the challenges, capabilities, and innovations shaping today’s testing landscape—and how QA teams are evolving from execution-focused roles to strategic drivers of business value.“The shift toward AI-powered testing isn’t just accelerating—it’s inevitable. This year’s report validates what we’ve long believed: QA professionals, the unsung heroes of software innovation, are navigating intense pressure to move faster without compromising quality, and their impact is finally being recognized, with 48% of organizations now viewing QA as a competitive advantage. Looking ahead, the future of quality will belong to teams who can combine AI fluency with human insight to lead testing into a smarter, more adaptive era.”– Vu Lam, CEO of KatalonKey highlights of Katalon’s 2025 State of Software Quality Report:* AI Integration with Human Expertise: Testers who blend AI, automation, and manual testing skills with critical thinking, the new generation of hybrid testers—are leading the next wave of innovation in software quality. According to the report, high-maturity QA teams that leverage these hybrid testers are 1.3 times more likely to adopt AI-augmented test optimization and 1.8 times more likely to implement intelligent test maintenance practices like self-healing tests, compared to lower-maturity teams.* The Happiness Edge: Happier QA pros aren’t just more satisfied, they’re more effective. According to the report, they’re 1.4 times more likely to implement advanced automation solutions (46% vs. 34%) and 1.4 times more likely to say AI has improved efficiency and automation in their roles (71% vs. 52%). As organizations modernize, these findings reveal a clear connection between job satisfaction and innovation in software quality.* AI and The Future of QA: AI-driven testing is gaining momentum, with 61% of QA teams adopting it to automate repetitive tasks and free up time for more strategic work. Forward-looking teams are embracing advanced automation tools, augmented with AI, with the potential to make testing more adaptive, efficient, and intelligent. Beyond AI, they’re also investing in performance and load testing tools (34%) and test management platforms (30%) to further optimize workflows and scale quality with confidence.* Redefine quality with AI: The research shows that high-performing teams are modernizing on three critical fronts: 61% are adopting AI-driven tools, 51% are using modern development practices, and 40% are investing in continuous testing. Together, these shifts are accelerating release cycles while preserving what matters most: trust, reliability, and quality at scale.Resources* Download the full report katalon.com/SoSQR2025* Explore the future of software quality katalon.comSave your seat for the April 24 virtual summit katalon.com/webinars/quality-horizon.
