Sampled intervals were identified by logging geologists and assigned a unique sample identification number. Samples were split in two halves using a diamond bladed saw with one half remaining in the core box as a permanent record and the half placed in a plastic sample bag, both marked with a waterproof tag bearing the unique sample number which was also written on the sample bag in permanent marker. Samples were transported from the Company's secure facility by private courier to ALS Laboratories in Romania for geochemical analysis. ALS Laboratories is an independent ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 certified commercial laboratory with no relationship to the Company. The samples were analyzed using multi-element package ME_ICP41a and for gold using fire assay package Au-AA25. ME_ICP41a is an ore grade package involving digestion of a 0.4g sample by aqua regia with an Inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) finish. The Au-AA25 fire assay method is an ore grade analysis using a 30g aliquot. The aliquot is mixed with flux composed of PbO and SiO2 with variable amounts of borax, soda ash and other reagents. The flux and sample are mixed, then heated at high temperature (>1,000°C) to decompose rock lattices and allow gold within the sample to be collected into a lead button. The button is placed in a porous cupel and heated again in an oxidizing environment to convert lead to lead oxide that is absorbed into the cupel, leaving the precious metals behind as a doré bead or prill. The gold content of the prill is then determined by atomic adsorption spectrometry.Both analyses are preceded by the preparation package Prep-31Y whereby the entire sample is crushed to 70% passing 2mm, a 250g split is collected by rotary splitter and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Laboratory over-limits analysis methods were applied as required for both Sb and Au. A systematic QAQC protocol was employed that includes systematic insertion in the sample stream of certified reference materials and blank samples at a frequency of 1 in 10, plus analysis of duplicate pulp splits at a frequency of 1 in 30.About the Project and Historical ResourceDiscovered in the late 1970s, Trojárová was the focus of extensive surface and underground exploration over a 2km strike length from 1983 to 1995, with 63 core holes for a total of 14,330m, and 1.7km of underground workings completed. Efforts continued over the years as additional trenches were dug, and holes were drilled. Starting in 1990, underground development work began ultimately comprising a 300-meter-long adit connected to a 700-plus meter-long drive in the footwall of the mineralized zone with seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone for sampling purposes.These efforts culminated in a comprehensive study comprising drill logs, analyses, drill plans, maps and sections, deposit model studies, petrographic studies, metallurgical studies and more, now detailed in a multi-volume compendium of reports produced by the Slovak Geological Institute published in 1992, including a historical mineral resource estimate (see "Historical Resource Estimates" below). Per this historical estimate, at a cut-off grade of 1.0% antimony, Trojárová hosts 2.46 million tonnes averaging 2.47% antimony and 0.635 grams per tonne gold in a mineralized zone averaging 3.32 meters wide, containing approximately 60,000 tonnes of antimony in situ.Historical Resource EstimatesThe historical estimate related to the Trojárová Property was taken from a compendium produced by the Slovak Geological Survey, completed in March 1992 based on exploration work undertaking in the 1980s and 1990s. It is entitled (English translation): "FINAL JOB REPORT, PEZINOK-TROJAROVA, Geological Survey State Enterprise", report compendium number 78406 (Michel et al, 1992).The Slovak Geological Institute, the state agency that carried out all exploration and underground development work at Trojárová, classified the historical resources as "P1" and "C2" in the Slovak version of the Russian classification system, respectively. These are closest within the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum's ("CIM") classification system to "inferred mineral resources," which is defined by the CIM as that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.The historical work carried out appears comprehensive, detailed and at a professional standard. The Company considers this historical data to be relevant as the Company will use these data as a guide to plan future exploration programs. The Company also considers the data to be reliable for these purposes. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current.Qualified PersonThe technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by David Murray, P.Geo, VP-Exploration for Military Metals and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.For more information about Military Metals Corp. and its critical minerals initiatives, please visit: https://www.militarymetalscorp.com.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/military-metals/X: https://x.com/militarymetalsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564717587797About Military Metals Corp.

MIAMI, FL, Feb 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Digi Power X Inc. ("Digipower X" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:DGXX)(TSXV:DGX), a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company focused on the deployment of Tier-3 modular data centers powered by owned and controlled energy assets, today announced that Hans Vestberg, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Verizon Communications, has joined the Company as a senior advisor serving on its Advisory Board to support the Company's expansion strategy.Mr. Vestberg brings more than three decades of global leadership in mission-critical infrastructure, telecommunications networks, and large-scale capital deployment. He is widely recognized for leading Verizon's first commercial 5G deployment in 2018 and for advancing nationwide fiber, mobile edge computing, and next-generation network architectures.Prior to Verizon, Mr. Vestberg spent nearly three decades at Ericsson, including almost seven years as its Chief Executive Officer, where he helped build and operate global infrastructure facilitating approximately 35% of worldwide mobile traffic.Mr. Vestberg's appointment comes at a time when AI adoption is increasingly constrained, not by software or silicon, but by power availability, cooling capacity, and deployment speed. Digipower X is working on addressing this challenge through the deployment of the AI-Ready Modular Solution (ARMS) platform, designed to deliver Tier-3 modular AI data centers within approximately 180 days, supported by a vertically integrated power strategy and a growing portfolio of large-scale energy assets."Hans Vestberg built and scaled the physical infrastructure that helped enable the fiber, mobile, and 5G revolutions," said Michel Amar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Digipower X. "He understands what most of the market overlooks: AI's bottleneck isn't algorithms or chips, it's power, cooling, and deployment speed. Hans knows how to execute infrastructure transformation at a national and global scale, and we expect his guidance will be invaluable as we expand our modular AI data center footprint.""I've spent over 30 years building the networks that move data," said Mr. Vestberg. "The next decade is about building the infrastructure that processes it. Digipower X is more than just a data center company. It controls its power, is developing the ability to deploy Tier-3 infrastructure in the near term, and is building a modular platform to address the exact constraints holding back large-scale AI deployment. Its focus on power availability and deployment speed first, real estate second, is exactly the right approach."Infrastructure Experience Aligned with AI ScaleDuring his tenure at Ericsson (2010-2016), Mr. Vestberg led more than 115,000 employees worldwide and positioned the company at the forefront of next-generation wireless technologies. At Verizon (2018-2025), he reshaped the organization around a network-first strategy, oversaw major investments in spectrum and fiber, and advanced distributed edge-compute capabilities to enable data-intensive and latency-sensitive applications.Mr. Vestberg insightfully noted at Davos 2024 that "one of the most important infrastructures of this century is digital infrastructure," and that AI workloads will increasingly migrate from centralized hyperscale facilities toward distributed locations supporting real-time inference and enterprise demand.Mr. Vestberg currently serves as a board member of BlackRock and Verizon.Addressing the Power and Deployment Constraint in AI InfrastructureDigipower X operates a combined-cycle power plant and three additional operating sites, with more than 200 megawatts of power currently online. The Company has secured development capacity to support AI infrastructure expansion over the next three years, with the ability to develop up to an additional 1.5 gigawatts of power capacity, including at major sites in North Carolina and West Virginia.In West Virginia, Digipower X has entered into a letter of intent relating to a 1.3-gigawatt power plant, which is being evaluated as a long-term site for AI data center and advanced computing infrastructure deployment."Hans recognizes that national AI competitiveness depends on solving power availability and deployment speed," said Gerard Rotonda, Board Member of Digipower X and former CFO of Deutsche Bank Wealth & Asset Management Americas. "His experience aligns directly with Digipower X's mission to deliver infrastructure at the scale and speed this market now requires."Vestberg's Strategic FocusIn his advisory role, Mr. Vestberg will work closely with Digipower X's executive team on:AI infrastructure deployment strategy and scaling frameworks;Distributed and edge-compute architectures for inference-driven workloads;Strategic partnerships with hyperscalers, enterprises, and infrastructure stakeholders;Power optimization and energy-efficient data center design;Tier-3 redundancy and mission-critical reliability standards; andInternational expansion strategy and site prioritization.About Digipower XDigipower X is an innovative energy infrastructure company that develops Tier III-certified modular AI data centers and drives the expansion of sustainable energy assets.For further information, please contact:Michel Amar, Chief Executive OfficerDigipower X Inc.www.digipowerx.comInvestor RelationsT: 888-474-9222Email: IR@digihostpower.comCautionary StatementTrading in the securities of the Company should be considered highly speculative.

TSUKUBA, Japan, Feb 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Modern industry relies heavily on catalysts, which are substances that speed up chemical reactions. They’re vital in everything from manufacturing household chemicals to generating clean energy or recycling waste. However, designing new catalysts is challenging because their performance is affected by many interacting factors.A new tool uses a catalyst gene profiling, where catalysts are represented as symbolic sequences, making it easier for scientists to interpret data and design catalysts without a need for programming skills.A new tool developed by researchers at Hokkaido University, published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, will simplify the process by providing researchers with a way to easily view and explore data about catalysts, enabling them to identify patterns and relationships in catalyst datasets without needing advanced programming or computational skills.The tool takes advantage of an approach known as catalyst gene profiling, where catalysts are represented as symbolic sequences. This makes it easier for scientists to interpret the data and apply sequence-based analysis methods to design and improve catalysts. The tool itself is a web-based graphical interface that offers an intuitive and interactive way to investigate these catalyst profiles.“The system enables researchers to explore complex catalyst datasets, identify global trends, and recognize local features—all without requiring advanced programming skills,” explains Professor Keisuke Takahashi, who led the study. “By visualizing both the relationships among catalysts and the underlying gene-based features, the platform makes catalyst design more interpretable, accessible, and efficient, bridging the gap between data-driven analysis and practical experimental insight.”Users can view catalysts clustered together based on how similar their features are or how similar their sequences are. The tool also includes a heat map that offers insights into how the catalyst gene sequences are calculated. The different visualizations can be viewed side by side and are synchronized so they all update simultaneously when a user zooms in or selects a group of catalysts.The team plans to extend the tool to work with other material science datasets so it can be used more broadly in the field. They’re also working to include a predictive component. Integrating modeling and editing strategies would mean researchers could use the tool not only to explore existing catalysts but also to investigate new ideas for high-performance materials. In addition, they want to improve the tool’s collaborative features so that several researchers can work together to explore and annotate datasets, enabling a community-oriented, data-driven approach to material design and discovery.“Our goal is to make advanced materials research more intuitive, approachable, and impactful,” says Takahashi.Further informationKeisuke TakahashiHokkaido University keisuke.takahashi@sci.hokudai.ac.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2025.2600689 About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-MDr Kazuya SaitoSTAM Methods Publishing Director SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

MOSCOW, Jan 31, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Expert Dialogues were held for the first time within the Open Dialogue framework at the Russia National Centre in Moscow on 30 January. The forum focused on five major megatrends shaping global economic, technological, and social development, bringing together international experts to explore how these forces will influence societies and industries in the decades ahead.Organized by the Russia National Centre in partnership with the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise "The Third Rome" and supported by the Presidential Executive Office, the forum brought together experts from around the world to discuss economic, technological, and social transformations.Maksim Oreshkin, Deputy Head of the Russian Executive Administration for Global Trends, presented five key megatrends that, he said, are already shaping global development and will continue to influence the world in the coming decades."By 2026, Open Dialogue has become an international platform uniting experts from across the world to discuss the future of the planet, the global economy, and society," Oreshkin said. "Understanding these processes is essential for preparing for change and leveraging it in the interests of nations and, above all, people. Today, I will focus on five key megatrends — while not treating artificial intelligence as a separate trend, because it has already become an integral part of our lives."1. A New Global Economic Paradigm: Globalisation 2.0A shift from traditional globalisation to a more decentralised system was described. BRICS+ countries now play a growing role in the global economy, technological development, and demographic trends, while the Global South is increasingly engaging in direct trade and national-currency settlements."Globalisation hasn't ended; it has changed," Oreshkin said. "Sovereignty — at state, social, and economic levels — is now the key to competitiveness. Only countries that preserve all three levels can lead in a multipolar world."China, the USA, India, and Russia are identified as major global powers, while highlighting emerging growth centres such as Indonesia and "connector countries" like the United Arab Emirates. Digital platforms and decentralised networks are also becoming independent participants in the world economy.2. Platformisation and Institutional AutomationThe second megatrend highlights the rise of platforms and automation across all sectors. Platforms and algorithms are increasingly shaping decision-making in healthcare, education, finance, trade, and beyond."Platform solutions enhance efficiency and reduce transaction costs through self-adjusting algorithms," Oreshkin said. "Countries without technological sovereignty risk becoming dependent on external platforms, which can have strategic consequences during conflicts."3. Transformation of the Global Financial SystemIt was noted that traditional financial models face mounting challenges, including rising public debt, widening inequality, and geopolitical fragmentation. Technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital platforms are creating alternative financial mechanisms, including decentralised finance."The traditional model of cross-border payments is under pressure. Decentralised systems and digital technologies are reshaping the financial system," he said.4. Demographic Shifts and ChallengesThe fourth megatrend concerns global population dynamics. Global fertility rates have fallen sharply, with some countries facing critical declines. By the end of the 21st century, the working-age population may shrink significantly, while the proportion of elderly people rises, placing pressure on pension systems and social services."Even in Africa, the ratio of elderly to working-age population will rise to 30%, and globally to 56%," Oreshkin explained. "Education demand will decrease, but healthcare and social service needs will grow. These interconnected trends will amplify each other."5. Human Capital Development in the Technological EraThe final megatrend focuses on human capital in a rapidly changing technological environment.Autonomous systems, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence are transforming education, work, and healthcare, while biotechnologies expand human capabilities."AI is both a challenge and an opportunity," Oreshkin said. "It allows personalized learning paths and supports teachers.Professions are changing: mid-level specialists will be in demand, and companies must retrain employees from junior positions. The social sphere will also evolve, ensuring active longevity in the new demographic era."Global PerspectiveThroughout the presentation, Oreshkin illustrated each trend with real-life examples from different continents: a manager from Asia, a farmer from Africa, and a homemaker from Eastern Europe. He highlighted that innovations in Africa could improve education and healthcare, Eastern Europe may see rising living standards and more efficient social systems, and Asia will require reskilling to meet changing labor demands."The world has entered a period of significant change in finance, demography, and other spheres. States, companies, and individuals must be prepared. Those who understand and adapt will shape the future," Oreshkin concluded.Open Dialogue on AirThis year, Open Dialogue introduced a podcast format — Open Dialogue on Air — featuring global experts discussing key trends in international development. Participants include award-winning Chinese sci-fi writer Chen Qiufan, Dr. Selina Neri of the Future Readiness Academy, Dr. Rais Hussin of EMIR Research (Malaysia), Prof. Wang Feng of UC Irvine, and global strategist Dr. Parag Khanna.First held in April 2025 at the Russia National Centre, the Open Dialogue brought together over 3,000 experts from dozens of countries. By presidential decree, it will now be held annually.Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/gowithrussiaVK: https://vk.com/gowithrussiaOK: https://ok.ru/gowithrussiaDZen: https://dzen.ru/gowithrussiaContact for the mediaBrand: Russia National CentreContact: Media teamEmail: Pressa@russia.ru Website: https://russia.ruEssay Submission: https://dialog.russia.ru/en/ Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
