This strong growth was primarily driven by the deployment of two Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) on long-term contracts at market rates after coming off a lower priced contract in April 2024, and a reactivated PSV coming into operation in August. Gross Profit increased by an impressive 81.8% QOQ, reaching US$7.5 million in 3Q2024, compared to US$4.1 million in 2Q2024, highlighting the significant widening in Owned Vessel gross margin to 41.9% in 3Q2024 from 31.1% in 2Q2024.Chartering Division and Other ServicesThe Chartering Division also enjoyed an increase Gross Profit by 20.9% YOY, despite a 11.2% YOY decline in revenue, from US$12.9 million in 9M2023 to US$11.4 million in 9M2024.Revenue from Other Services declined by 6.5% YOY, from US$5.4 million in 9M2023 to US$5.0 million in 9M2024.

Depreciation costs grew by 8.2% YOY reaching US$10.1 million, due to the addition of vessels to the fleet. Crewing Expenses rose by 12.7% to US$7.6 million, due to the higher salaries and allowances required for Dynamic Positioning (DP) vessels and more vessels operating outside Indonesia.For 9M2024, Maintenance Costs increased by 39.8% YOY, to US$5.9 million, while fuel bunker costs increased by 16.8% YOY, totaling US$2.2 million. These cost increases were driven by major docking activities for certain vessels and the preparation of higher-tier vessels for long-term contracts.Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitTotal Indirect Expenses increased by 33.1% YOY, rising from US$4.9 million in 9M2023 to US$6.6 million. The largest contributor to this increase came from salaries (+31.6% YOY to US$4.7million) due to a growing workforce in line with business expansion and bonuses paid in 2Q2024 while employee benefits were normalized in 2024 after an adjustment in 2023.Marketing expenses increased by 275% YOY from US$0.09 million in 9M2023 to US$0.4 million in 9M2024, due to marketing fees to support the Company’s international growth.Despite these cost increases, Wintermar successfully improved operational performance, reflected in a 127.1% YOY jump in operating profit, which grew from US$5.2 million in 9M2023 to US$11.8 million in 9M2024.Other Income, Expenses and Net Attributable ProfitInterest Expenses continued to fall from US$0.9 million in 9M2023 to US$0.8 million in 9M2024, reflecting a -19.1% YOY decline as outstanding bank debt decreased. The Company is now cash positive, leading to a significant increase in interest income from US$0.03 million in 9M2023 to US$0.3 million in 9M2024. This improvement in cash flow was driven by better operational performance and substantial gains from the sale of vessels.Equity in net earnings of associates turned around with a gain of US$2.1 million in 9M2024 compared to a loss of US$0.3 million in 9M2024, as operational performance from our associated companies also benefited from the industry upturn.The sale of vessels resulted in a substantial gain of US$17.4 million from the disposal of fixed assets in 1H2024, effectively crystalizing the monetary value of the fleet. This cash inflow provided management with the opportunity to reinvest in similar but younger vessels. In August 2024, the Company took delivery of a Platform Supply Vessel built in 2022, which is expected to be operationally ready by early December 2024. Non controlling interest was significantly higher at US$7.5million compared to only US$0.03million in 9M2023 to account for the minority share of earnings from the PSV business which is 51% controlled by Wintermar.Net Attributable Profit for 9M2024 totaled US$19.7million, a six fold increase (+605.2%YOY) from US$2.8million in 9M2023, due to a combination of higher gross profit from a strong performance in the core business as well as the gain from sale of vessels.The group's EBITDA increased by 50.8% YOY for 9M2024, reaching US$22.1 million.Industry OutlookThe world is navigating turbulent times, with escalating conflicts in the Middle East and Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine affecting some of the world’s most important oil producing countries. Geopolitical uncertainty has exposed the underlying vulnerabilities of the global energy system, which has contributed to a new investment cycle in upstream oil and gas as governments seek to ensure energy security.The current economic outlook points to global oil demand remaining resilient. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global demand for oil is expected stay above 100 million barrels per day (mb/d) through 2050. This sustained demand is driven by industrial uses, heavy-duty transportation, and petrochemical needs. The transition to renewable energy is reshaping consumption patterns, but oil and natural gas will continue to play a crucial role in meeting global energy needs.Southeast Asia remains heavily reliant on energy imports, especially oil and natural gas, to meet its growing demand. According to the IEA's World Energy Outlook, Southeast Asia is projected to become a net importer of natural gas by 2030, while China and India are also seeing a significant rise in their reliance on imported energy. China's oil imports are expected to surpass 80% by 2050, increasing its vulnerability to global supply disruptions.The Indonesian government has introduced a new gross split scheme aimed at attracting upstream investments by simplifying contractual terms and providing more favorable conditions for oil and gas contractors. This welcome move demonstrates the political will to ramp up upstream oil and gas investments in Indonesia, needed to mitigate natural production declines and the widening oil trade deficit in recent years.Business ProspectsWintermar continues to strategically strengthen its financial position and revitalize its fleet through targeted investments. As of the first nine months of 2024, the Company has invested in USS$38.8 million in fleet expansion to position its fleet in anticipation of future demand. This includes an Accommodation Work Barge (AWB), a 2022 built Platform Supply Vessel (PSV), and three newly constructed heavy load barges scheduled for delivery by the end of the year. These investments not only modernize Wintermar’s fleet but also align it with expected OSV demand as early-stage offshore drilling and exploration projects transition into the construction and production phases.These acquisitions have been financed through a combination of internal cash flow, bank loans and the sale of several low-yielding vessels. The success in securing new loans has demonstrated support from banks and enables the Company to optimize the capital structure.Contracts on hand as at end September 2024 amounted to US$71.4 million.Dividend paymentBased on the strong results in the first 9 months of 2024, the Directors have declared the payment of an interim dividend of Rp8 per share, totaling Rp34.92billion or US$2.25million. More information on the recording date can be found on our website.About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 48 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters.

We are further convinced to uphold longtermism, and to accelerate all-round development in terms of globalization, premiumization, greening, cultural innovation and so on,” said Mr. Chen Xue Qiang, Deputy Director of Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer. “We would not have developed these two benchmark projects and outcompeted others without our critical partner, China Entercom, and its innovative ICT technologies and solutions. Our partnership dates back to 2019, and our teams have gained mutual trust in those five years so that we have achieved successful digitization regarding innovative technology and business innovation services.

We are committed to making technology the ultimate business enabler, promoting high-quality development with innovation and intelligence.”From the Present to the Future: China Entercom Customizes a Future-Proof “All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security” Platform for CR Beer to Realize Digital IntelligenceHeadquartered in Beijing, CR Beer is one of the significant members of China Resources Group in terms of the consumer sector, and also a pioneer with a history spanning over 30 years in the domestic alcoholic beverage industry. In view of aggregate sales, CR Beer has been top-ranked in the Chinese beer market since 2006, however, the market competition has become fiercer with the change in market demands and consumption needs, notably the trends of premiumization and diversification among the leading enterprises in the past few years. CR Beer realized digitization and intelligentization are the keys to capture the market, so it implemented the “3+3+3” corporate development strategy for premiumization in 2017, moved towards technology productization in 2020, and recently launched a dual empowerment model of “Beer and Baijiu”.To achieve digital transformation, CR Beer needs to generate higher values from technologies and foster business growth by addressing the preexisting challenges. More importantly, it needs a reliable partner with technological expertise, tailor-made solutions, exceptional service capabilities and global resources to flexibly support its future businesses and advance the three critical objectives: (1) enhance network continuity and scalability, (2) improve network efficiency, and (3) reinforce the security protection of the entire digital infrastructure.“Having considered carefully and conducted rigorous technical tests, CR Beer decided to join hands with China Entercom. With its full-cycle support from customization, deployment and installation, implementation to operation and maintenance, we adopted its innovative suite of ‘All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security’ solutions (MPLS + SD-WAN + Security + SASE + Private Cloud). With this solution as a solid and secure foundation for digital transformation, CR Beer has experienced a seamless and highly efficient transformation journey, which is in line with the ultimate goals of our partnership,” said Mr. Chen Xue Qiang, Deputy Director of the Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer.IDC commented on “CR Beer’s One-Stop SD-WAN Hybrid Network” project, said: “This project has excelled and outcompeted others in network optimization, service delivery, technology innovation and low-carbon development. Additionally, the one-stop service provided by China Entercom not only streamlines the network management, but also ensures network stability and security with its round-the-clock monitoring function. With the integration of multiple innovative technologies, the customized ‘All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security’ solutions have addressed the digital transformation requirements of CR Beer. In particular, deploying the private cloud in the low-carbon data center is apparently a proactive approach to environmental protection and low-carbon operation, providing an excellent paradigm of both economic benefits and social responsibility commitments, setting a benchmark for the industry.”Rooted in China, Connecting Globally: China Entercom as the long-term partner of CR Beer’s Globalization StrategyCR Beer is committed to fulfilling its responsibility as a subsidiary of China Resources Group, actively promoting the “Belt and Road” Initiative and global development. To connect globally, the company first established a global strategic partnership with Heineken Group in 2019 under the “Going Global” policy, making China the second largest market for Heineken. By leveraging the global resources of China Entercom and its parent company CITIC Telecom CPC, the next step of CR Beer is to promote a comprehensive digital transformation with network improvement as the basis, realizing automated workflow and intelligent decision support. Meanwhile, the company is looking forward to boosting operational efficiency and responsiveness to drive rapid business growth and expand its market presence along the “Belt and Road”, in Southeast Asia, Europe and the global market.Mr. Henry Ko, General Manager of Enterprise Sales, China Entercom, said, “The cooperation between China Entercom and CR Beer started at the initial stage of its digital transformation journey. As an industry leader, CR Beer has more heightened requirements of digital transformation — cost reduction, higher efficiency, and most importantly, holistically solving current pain points and challenges for a better future. And this is where our strengths lie. Having worked with a variety of industries for more than 20 years, China Entercom is well aware that forward-looking technologies and services offered by solution providers are the keys to maximizing clients’ IT investment efficiency.”“There are some prerequisites for new technology applications to attain cost reduction and efficiency enhancement during digital transformation. The first is to select the right technologies and solutions, and the second is to carry out customized implementation and deployment for better business development. In other words, choosing the right partner matters. It is a great pleasure to be the right partner for CR Beer, and to be working together since the very beginning of its digital transformation, which it has eventually achieved higher efficiency with technologies,” continued Mr. Ko.Beer with ICT Innovations: CR Beer Adds a Hint of New Technology FlavorThe in-depth cooperation between CR Beer and China Entercom demonstrates the convergence of innovative ICT technologies with the traditional alcoholic beverage industry, resembling a brewer blending liquors delicately. The next stage of cooperation is reportedly in the direction of going globally, AI+ and SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS).“Under the leadership of Mr. Guo Hua, Chief Digital Officer of CR Beer, the information technology team is actively promoted ‘Five Transformations, Three Concentrations, One Core, and Four Platforms as the transformation framework to comprehensively promote the implementation of the digital strategy, committed to aligning with top international standards. As we strongly support the digitalization of our business systems, we consistently enhance infrastructure development and information security.

香港股票分析师协会主席邓声兴专访侨雄国际主席李立中

香港, 2024年10月28日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 随着科技的高速发展,数字技术正以新理念、新业态、新模式全面融入人类经济、政治、文化、社会、生态文明建设各领域和全过程,给人类生产生活带来广泛而深刻的影响,中国正在加速进入数字时代。在这个过程当中,以信息技术、区块链、人工智能为代表的新兴科技的发展和应用,将成为推动企业数字化转型的关键因素。作为一家多元化业务的投资控股公司,侨雄国际(00381.HK)成立三十余年来扎实运营实业,同时不断整合公司资源,开拓具有盈利潜力的投资机会。10月4日,侨雄国际发布公告,委任李立中为执行董事兼联席主席,随后在10月10日公司再次发布公告宣布拟更名为权识国际集团股份有限公司。一系列动作显示公司正在加快数字媒体经销行业布局,进一步丰富业务的多元化结构,推动公司更加稳步向前。日前,侨雄国际执行董事兼联席主席李立中接受香港股票分析师协会主席邓声兴博士连线专访,首次对外界透露其对侨雄国际集团未来的展望以及各个业务板块发展战略的思考。资料显示,李立中长期从事人工智能、元宇宙、智联网络、区块链科学研究,这些领域的研究成果不仅推动了科技进步,而且为人类的生活带来了巨大的改变。其工作成果向世界展示了中国科学家的智慧和实力,也为中国在科技领域的发展做出了重要贡献。李立中表示,随着智能时代的到来,人工智能提升生产力可能导致供给端和消费能力不匹配,出现产销双滞的情况。利用区块链技术和web3.0这种数字经济的新形态、新业态、新物种来重构生产关系,可以将个体从单纯的打工人转变为生产资料提供者,使更多人能够参与到生产和价值创造过程中,从而更有效地配置人力、物力等资源,提高资源的利用效率,缓解经济循环不畅的问题。在专访中,李立中提出了共产经济权识生态的概念,旨在通过区块链技术实现生产资料的共享和共建。在这个生态中,每个参与者都可以成为生产资料的提供者、使用者和受益者。通过生产资料映射,可以确保每个参与者的权益得到保障,实现公平、公正、透明的分配机制,这种重构的分配机制将提升民众的收入水平和消费能力,从而解决产能过剩的问题。李立中进一步解释称,该生态模式有助于实现第一次财富分配的相对平衡。通过让更多人成为产业生态的共产者、共建者,参与剩余价值分配体系,能够增加民众的收入来源,缩小贫富差距,为实现共同富裕提供一种新的途径和思路。与此同时,权识的高溢价、高增值可以大幅增强民众的消费能力,这对于企业来说,能够加快产品的销售和库存的消化,降低企业的运营成本和风险,促进企业的健康发展,进而推动整个产业经济的正循环。李立中指出,通过区块链技术重构生产关系,可以推动经济模式的创新和发展。传统的经济模式往往依赖于中心化的机构或平台,而区块链技术可以实现去中心化的经济模式,降低交易成本,提高交易效率。李立中表示,共产经济权识生态的实现需要依托区块链等新兴技术,这将推动相关技术的不断发展和创新。同时,这种新的经济模式也为技术创新提供了更广阔的应用场景和市场需求,加速技术与经济的融合,促进新质生产力的发展。"该模式打破了传统的经济模式和生产关系,鼓励人们以新的方式参与经济活动,为经济发展带来新的思路和方法。这将激发社会的创新活力,推动产业的升级和转型,促进经济的可持续发展。" 李立中说。对于生产数据动态确权的问题,李立中透露,其早在2018年就申请了区块链AOM权识专利技术(专利号:201810475808.3)和区块链行为数据挖矿的专利授权(专利号:201810018810.8),侨雄国际可以利用这些核心专利技术,致力于为产业数据动态确权,真正的让web3.0与实体经济实现交叉融合,从而推动企业数字经济转型。李立中表示,区块链技术为生产数据的动态确权提供了一种创新且有效的解决方案。通过数字身份、智能合约、数据加密和区块链存证等技术手段,可以确保数据的真实性、完整性和可追溯性,为数据的确权提供可靠的技术支持。谈到侨雄国际的数字化转型升级,李立中指出,随着国家"十四五"规划的提出,数字化转型已成为各行各业的发展趋势。侨雄国际作为一家多元化的企业,面临着市场竞争和业务增长的双重压力,因此迫切需要进行数字化转型升级。侨雄国际希望通过数字技术,提供更加个性化、智能化的产品和服务,满足消费者的多样化需求,拓展新的市场渠道,为公司带来了新的业务增长点和发展机遇。"侨雄国际未来会通过相关专利技术对公司各板块业务做全方位的数位经济转型,通过生产资料的标识化,为公司的各个板块注入新的价值与活力。更名为权识国际并推动数字化转型升级,是公司应对市场竞争、实现业务增长的重要举措。" 李立中称。除此以外,李立中还提出,基于"十四五"规划所带来的数字化新浪潮,各行各业将获得更多发展机遇,面对中国社会经济发展新阶段、新特征,侨雄国际未来将利用数字化转型技术赋能于香港的所有的上市公司和实体产业,向数字媒体经销等方向稳定发展,进一步丰富公司业务的多元化结构。李立中认为,实体经济和数字经济相辅相成。数字经济有着更丰富的外延,能够催生新业态、新物种、新模式,实体经济升级后能转变成对应的数字经济,成为数字经济的一部分,这可能是未来的一种生活方式,所以加快发展数字经济是大势所趋,需要行业先锋主动出击,迎接挑战,切实把技术和产业融合起来,推动好技术、好概念真正落地。国家层面也会加大政策扶持力度,完善政策保障体系,提升企业数字化转型积极性,助力实现共同富裕。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Atlas Lithium’s Neves Project Is Now Permitted ACN Newswire

Atlas Lithium’s Neves Project Is Now Permitted

Boca Raton, Florida--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 28, 2024) - Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or "Company"), a leading lithium exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that it received the operational permit for its Neves Project from the government of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. With this positive decision, Atlas Lithium has all the needed authorizations to assemble and run its processing plant and develop open-pit mining operations at one of its lithium deposits. This marks a crucial milestone in the Company's goal of becoming a lithium producer.On October 25, 2024, a voting board comprised of twelve representatives from the local civil society and government unanimously approved Atlas Lithium's license application for its Neves Project, resulting in the formal issuance of the permit. On October 26, 2024, the permit was formally published in the official gazette of the Minas Gerais government. This outcome follows the technical recommendation for approval issued by the Environmental Foundation of Minas Gerais in September 2024.The permit authorizes Atlas Lithium to assemble and operate its lithium processing plant, to process mined ore from one of its deposits at the facility, and to sell the lithium concentrate that it produces. This key development comes after an extensive technical review process by regulatory agencies that began with the Company's initial permit application on September 1, 2023. The triphasic permit obtained by Atlas Lithium is the most expeditious licensing modality available as it encompasses the initial, the installation, and the operating licenses all within this same issued authorization (known as "LI/LP/LO" in the local regulatory terminology).Marc Fogassa, CEO of Atlas Lithium, commented, "We are thrilled with today's announcement, as permitting is widely considered the most critical risk in any mining project. Atlas Lithium's permit reflects fourteen months of our team's meticulous work throughout the licensing process and showcases our unwavering commitment to developing an environmentally responsible and sustainable operation in Brazil's Lithium Valley - a mineral district which is rapidly establishing itself as a premier location in the global lithium supply chain. This milestone marks a key step for us towards becoming a lithium producer and advances Atlas Lithium into the next phase of our growth trajectory.""We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen for all our stakeholders. With the news provided today, and as the Neves Project proceeds towards implantation and operation, Atlas Lithium will create hundreds of local jobs in the Vale do Jequitinhonha area of Minas Gerais. Additionally, our lithium processing plant is engineered to possibly achieve the smallest environmental footprint in its class," said Rodrigo Menck, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.About Atlas Lithium Corporation Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) is focused on advancing and developing its 100%-owned hard-rock lithium project in the state of Minas Gerais.

(TSX.V:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) (" Q2 " or the " Company ") is pleased to report the core assay results on drill holes CS-24-017, 019 and 021 from the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property (the " Property " or the " Cisco Property ") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. All drill holes intersected pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified."The results for drill hole 21 have been widely anticipated and it has delivered," said Alicia Milne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Q2 Metals. "We still have three more drill holes to report and are in the process of planning an accelerated exploration program in 2025 to understand the true potential at the Cisco Lithium Property."" The results of the continuous, greater than 300 metres interval, has been yet another piece of validation to the story of Cisco, " said Neil McCallum, Vice President Exploration of the Company. "W e've drilled some world-class intervals already, but the development of Cisco is still in its infancy and we look forward to continuing our understanding of the project through further drilling in 2025."The analytical results reported herein represent 1,431.1 m of drilling over three (3) holes during the summer drill campaign; with analytical results remaining to be reported on three (3) additional drill holes that were completed (drill holes CS-24-020, 022 and 023).Complete highlighted intervals from holes CS-24-017, 019 and 021 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1, with two cross sections in Figures 2 and 3.Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Holes with Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyDrill holes CS-24-017 and 019 targeted the western portions of the wide mineralized zone. The results reveal several separate mineralized intervals including the widest interval of 71.8 m at 1.01% Li 2 O, including 13.3 m at 1.77% Li 2 O in CS-24-017and 56.8 m at 1.06% Li 2 O, including 9.1 m at 1.80% Li 2 O in CS-24-019 .Drill hole CS-24-021 (Hole 21) targeted the central portions of the wide mineralized zone with results of 347.1 m at 1.35% Li 2 O, including seven (7) higher-grade sub-intervals, including 30 m at 1.76% Li 2 O. Hole 21 is located approximately 200 m north of hole CS-24-018 which assays reported a 215.6 m interval at 1.69% Li 2 O, including 64.6 m at 2.29% Li 2 O. Hole 21 is also located south of hole CS-24-010 which assays reported a 120.3 m interval of 1.72% Li 2 O.Figure 2. Cross Section A (looking northeast)Figure 3. Cross Section B (looking northeast)Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyAll intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Drill hole collar information has been previously reported for each drill hole reported herein and is also available at: https://www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/.Due to the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols in place by both the Company and the analytical laboratory (SGS Canada), drill hole CS-24-020, and the uppermost pegmatite interval of drill hole CS-24-021 were re-submitted for testing. Results will be reported when received and reviewed by the Company.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 kilometres ("km") east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAll drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade was reported by SGS Canada as lithium oxide (Li 2 O). Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.
