Ensuring the health and safety of those who operate aircraft is not just a medical matter — it’s a public safety priority,” said Elaine Chu, General Manager of QHMS. “We believe the partnership between the aviation and medical sectors is essential to maintaining public trust and upholding the highest safety standards.” To meet the specific needs of the aviation community, QHMS provides medical examinations for pilots through a team of registered Approved Medical Assessors (AMAs) and Approved Medical Examiners (AMEs). These services are delivered in compliance with both local and international regulatory requirements, aligning with QHMS’s broader mission to deliver safe and integrated care across specialised sectors. With a network of medical centres across Hong Kong, QHMS offers aviation professionals easy access to required medical services. Various booking options including online channels and call centre support help accommodate pilots’ demanding schedules. Backed by years of experience in supporting airlines and aviation-related organisations, QHMS works closely with employers, training institutions, and regulators. This collaborative approach ensures pilots not only meet compliance standards, but also maintain long-term health and performance throughout their careers. “We are proud to support the aviation community as part of our broader commitment to public health,” said Elaine Chu. “As the aviation industry grows, we are more determined to be a trusted partner in safeguarding the wellbeing of the professionals who make safe travel possible.” * The above contents are prepared for information purposes only and do not constitute an offer or solicitation for services.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2025 – Baiduri Bank, Brunei Darussalam’s largest conventional bank, proudly announces the opening of its first overseas representative office in Singapore. Located at Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) Tower 2, this expansion marks a significant milestone in the Bank’s 30-year journey in the financial sector. Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Muda Dr Abdul Fattaah, Chairman of Baiduri Bank (Middle); Baiduri Bank Chief Executive Officer Ti Eng Hui (3-R); Board Member of Baiduri Bank Dato Paduka Timothy Ong Teck Mong (3-L); members of Baiduri Bank’s management committee and Baiduri Bank’s Chief Representative Officer Young Yi (2-L) at the launch of Baiduri Bank’s Representative Office in Singapore Since its establishment in 1994, Baiduri Bank has undergone a remarkable transformation—evolving from a home-grown bank into a leading financial institution that has played a pivotal role in Brunei’s economic development. Its evolution over the past three decades has been marked by rapid growth, innovation, and expanded capabilities in retail, corporate, and institutional banking. Today, Baiduri Bank is internationally recognised for its financial strength and innovation, reflected by its A-/A-2 stable rating from S&P Global Ratings. It has also been honoured with multiple international awards including “Bank of the Year 2024” by The Banker, “Best Bank in Brunei” by Euromoney and Global Finance, and “Best Banking Group in Brunei 2024” by World Finance. These accolades reinforce the Bank’s credibility and its strategic readiness to expand its regional footprint. A strategic expansion into Singapore – Beyond Brunei The launch of the Singapore Representative Office represents the next chapter in this trajectory. It is a strategic move to strengthen Baiduri Bank’s regional presence, promote its corporate and institutional banking capabilities, and enhance engagement with counterparty banks and financial institutions. Singapore, as one of the world’s leading financial hubs, offers immense opportunities for the Bank to identify strategic partners and alliances. By acting as a bridge between Bruneian opportunities and Singapore’s vibrant financial ecosystem, the office supports Brunei’s economic diversification agenda while creating pathways for Singapore-based institutions and investors to access new markets and forge cross-border collaborations. Leading the Representative Office Leading the Baiduri Bank Representative Office is Mr Young Yi, Chief Representative Officer, a seasoned corporate banker with over 25 years of corporate banking experience across local and international banks, including Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Societe Generale, ANZ and Westpac. With a strong background in corporate banking, relationship management, Mr Young is a valuable addition to support Baiduri Bank’s presence in Singapore. Commenting on the launch, Mr Young stated: “I am excited and privileged to be part of Baiduri Bank’s journey in Singapore and I look forward to leveraging on my network, fostering strong meaningful collaborations to achieve win-win outcomes for Baiduri Bank and our partners. With our deep local knowledge of the Bruneian market, we offer ourselves as a trusted advisor to companies based in Singapore looking to invest in Brunei. The Representative Office will also serve as a referral conduit to our banking partners for Bruneian companies looking to expand into Singapore and the region”. Strengthening regional economic collaboration Brunei presents a compelling value proposition for businesses, offering a stable operating environment, strong governance, and attractive tax schemes. As a signatory to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), Brunei provides tariff-free access to one of the world’s fastest-growing economic regions. With its well-educated workforce, absence of capital controls, and 1:1 currency interchangeability with the Singapore Dollar, Brunei is well-positioned as a gateway for regional business expansion. In support of this goal, Baiduri Bank is working closely with the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) to encourage greater investment engagement and regional business connectivity. The Bank’s Singapore Representative Office will serve as a touchpoint to facilitate conversations with potential investors and explore new opportunities linked to Brunei. By aligning efforts with BEDB, Baiduri Bank hopes to contribute meaningfully to Brunei’s broader economic diversification goals—while helping connect Bruneian businesses to regional markets and Singapore-based stakeholders to emerging opportunities in Brunei. Launch and networking reception The launch ceremony of Baiduri Bank’s Singapore office at MBFC Tower 2 was a distinguished event, attended by esteemed guests, including Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Muda Dr Abdul Fattaah, Chairman of Baiduri Bank, senior government officials, and prominent leaders from the banking sector of Brunei and Singapore. Baiduri Bank’s CEO, Ti Eng Hui, delivered an address outlining the Bank’s vision for regional growth, followed by the unveiling of a meticulously crafted 3D replica of Baiduri Bank’s headquarters presented alongside iconic landmarks of Brunei and Singapore – symbolising the strong economic ties between the two nations. Following the official ceremony, Baiduri Bank hosted a networking cocktail reception at the Mandarin Oriental Singapore, attended by over 300 guests, including representatives and senior leaders from regional financial institutions and corporations.

Vancouver, British Columbia – Newsfile Corp. – May 21, 2025 – Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) (“Founders” or the “Company”) announces drill core assay results from the Antino Gold Project (“Antino” or “Project”) in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The Company reports high-grade gold mineralization at Upper Antino including 33.0 metres (m) of 3.50 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) in drilling east of the Main Froyo Shear (“Froyo”). Additional drilling results extend gold mineralization north 125 m, increasing total strike length of Froyo to ~1.7 kilometres (Figure 2). Drilling Highlights Growth-focused drilling expands high-grade gold mineralization in parallel structures (Figures 2 & 3): 33.0 m of 3.50 g/t Au and 19.0 m of 0.84 g/t Au (FR114) 13.0 m of 2.00 g/t Au (FR082) 4.0 m of 5.92 g/t Au (FR105) Broad gold zones and 125 m northward extension: 41.9 m of 1.06 g/t Au (FR099) 12.0 m of 1.51 g/t Au and 22.5 m of 0.50 g/t Au (FR101), extending gold mineralization north in two parallel mineralized zones Colin Padget, President & CEO, commented, “These results clearly demonstrate Upper Antino’s growth potential in multiple directions. Gold mineralization continues eastward over substantial intervals while our step-out drilling has successfully expanded the northern boundary by 125 metres. The two broad intervals in hole FR114 align well with our mineralization and structural models and suggest there is potential to ‘connect-the-dots’ between Froyo and Donut. Additionally, while we have seen some increases in assay turnaround times and have been focusing on certain corporate items, we anticipate releasing additional results from our earlier-stage exploration targets along-side a comprehensive overview in the coming weeks.” Drilling continues to expand Upper Antino gold mineralization and Figure 4 provides a 12-month snapshot showing the growth of the mineralized footprint over that time. In this release, drill hole FR114 intersecting 33.0 m of 3.50 g/t Au, is one of several holes planned to target further eastward growth of Froyo gold mineralization and determine if additional parallel zones link Froyo with the Donut target. Drillhole FR101 intercepted two distinct zones of mineralization with the shallower 22.50 m interval of 0.5 g/t Au beginning at 27.60 m and potentially a new shear as the deeper 12 m of 1.51 g/t Au aligns well with the previously reported 8.0 m of 2.08 g/t Au in hole FR095. These are encouraging intercepts indicating additional northward potential and drill holes are planned further north to continue testing these structures. About Founders Metals Inc. Founders Metals is a Canadian-based exploration company focused on advancing the Antino Gold Project located in Suriname, South America, in the heart of the Guiana Shield.

CHANGSHA, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 May 2025 – As an important connector, innovator, and guardian of cultural identity, Hunan Museum has launched the “Xiangyun · Rebirth” series of activities since May 16, aligning with this year’s International Museum Day theme “The Future of Museums in a Rapidly Changing Society.” Focusing on three dimensions—deepened research, digital revitalization, and innovative communication & services—the Museum aims to release and showcase its recent achievements and future plans to the public, breathing new life into ancient cultural heritage in the new era. In response to the contemporary proposition of scientific and technological innovation-driven development, Hunan Museum relies on technology to empower cultural heritage research. With the continuous advancement of research on cultural relics unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tombs, and with the technical support of modern high-definition equipment, breakthrough progress has been made in its research.One such breakthrough involves Chengyun Embroidery (“Cloud-Riding Embroidery”), long misidentified as a “pillow towel.” Comparative analysis of excavation data and historical records confirmed it as China’s earliest known yinxi (silk cushion), reshaping academic and public understanding.Another discovery emerged through high-resolution scans of the Mawangdui T-shaped Painting on Silk. Researchers identified repainting traces in figures like Dihun (heavenly gate guardians) and the Divine Leopard, offering new insights into Han Dynasty artistic techniques.The third finding is the identification of a double-phoenix motif in the Chengyun Embroidery—a significant addition to Mawangdui embroidery studies—highlighting the aesthetic values and craftsmanship of Han textile art. Hunan Museum also unveiled outcomes from two digital heritage initiatives: Exploring Yuan Plan 2024 and Digital Han Lifestyle. The former used AI to recreate a Western Han straight-cut, printed, color-painted silk-padded robe, showcasing exquisite detail, historical depth, and dynamic beauty—granting the garment a digital rebirth.Meanwhile, Digital Han Lifestyle offers an immersive exploration of Han clothing, cuisine, dwellings, transportation, and spiritual aesthetics. Visitors can wear Han robes, enjoy traditional banquets, and experience classical music, engaging with Chinese heritage across dimensions. By unveiling these achievements, Hunan Museum not only affirms its leading role in digital heritage innovation but also opens new windows for the public to engage with Han civilization—fostering the creative transformation and dynamic transmission of Chinese traditional culture in the digital age.
