The Company collaborated with contractors, suppliers and academia to identify reuse, recycle and waste reduction opportunities throughout the project. Mr Michael Smith, Chief Executive of Hongkong Land, said: “Meeting a number of our 2030 sustainability targets ahead of schedule reflects our commitment to a sustainable future as we think in generations and create lasting value for all our stakeholders.

Fruit Bites delivers the most natural form of snacking.

It’s the kind of snack that grows with you.” Hey! Fruit Bites is a naturally sweet, crunchy melt-in-your-mouth snack that is perfect for office pantries, school bags, outdoor adventures, or as an on-the-go snack for babies and toddlers.

HAIKOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 April 2025 – ​The fifth China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE), held on the tropical island province of Hainan, has reaffirmed the country’s position as a vital marketplace for global enterprises. The high-tech exhibits and beachside fashion shows at the 5th CICPE. This year’s expo has drawn record participation from over 4,100 brands across 71 countries and regions, reflecting the expanding international appetite for engagement with China’s vast consumer market and its evolving landscape. The UK, this year’s guest country of honor, brought 27 companies spanning fashion, beauty, and other fields. Flagship brands like Burberry and Bentley showcased their latest offerings, with a strong emphasis on green technology and sustainable development. “I have seen the tremendous innovation and growth taking place within China’s economy in recent years, not least in digital technologies, life sciences and green energy,” said Douglas Alexander, minister of state of the UK’s Department for Business and Trade. These areas present significant opportunities for both economies, he said, emphasizing the UK’s commitment to deepening economic ties with China. Burberry Greater China President Josie Zhang noted the value of the expo in facilitating foreign firms to engage with local partners. “By deepening cooperation with various stakeholders, we aim to explore new market opportunities and achieve mutual growth,” she said in a written interview. Slovakia also made a notable debut with its first-ever national pavilion. Andrea Jancekova, CEO of Slovak brand Truscada, praised the expo’s global reach. “You can have a good connection also with people from all over the world.” Slovak Deputy Prime Minister Denisa Saková highlighted the expanding trade ties between the two countries. “China is one of our most important trading partners outside the European Union,” she said. “The growing volume of trade is a testament to the strength and dynamism of our economic relationship.” Among the newcomers was Japan’s Eda Livestock Co., Ltd., known for its premium Wagyu beef. “We plan to establish a foreign trade company in Hainan as our strategic entry point into the Chinese market,” said Rei Tanaka, the firm’s chief operating officer, who participated in the CICPE for the first time.

Richemont’s TimeVallée debuted as an independent exhibitor, while LVMH and Kering Group brands made notable appearances, reflecting confidence in China’s premium consumption growth. “Luxury consumers in China are significantly younger than those in many overseas markets, and that presents a major opportunity for us,” said Nancy Liu, president of luxury travel retailer DFS China. The company has introduced tailored services to cater to the expectations of these emerging consumer groups. Beyond luxury, sectors like automotive and technology are repositioning China from being a mere sales destination to a research and innovation hub. As the co-organizer of the 5th China International Consumer Products Expo, the Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic Development stated that, amid China’s technological innovation momentum, this year’s expo for the first time introduced dedicated zones for artificial intelligence and the low-altitude economy, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and products from leading tech companies around the world. “Since 2020, Volkswagen has invested over 10 billion euros in China. In particular, we have established a research and development center in China in 2023, the largest outside Germany,” said Su Bahong, vice president of Volkswagen Group China. “This shows the trend where China is becoming the global technological innovation hub.” Hashtag: #CICPE The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Saguenay, Quebec – Newsfile Corp. – April 15, 2025 – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQB: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate” or the “Company”) highlights its strategic role in driving the onshoring of American manufacturing by supplying the domestic Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery materials essential to factory automation and robotics. The resurgence of American manufacturing hinges on robotics, factory automation, and grid-scale energy storage—technologies powered by LFP batteries. These phosphate-based batteries are favored for their safety, longevity, scalability, and are rapidly becoming the global standard in industrial automation. This technological transition, fueled by national trade and security policies, is expected by many to ignite a new industrial revolution in the United States. The demand for industrial automation is expected to reach USD $307.7 billion in 2030. About 60% of all occupations could automate at least 30% of their tasks and boost global productivity by 1.5% annually creating 6 million jobs (Convergix). Yet, a critical vulnerability threatens this momentum: the LFP battery supply chain is heavily concentrated in China. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, including recently proposed U.S. tariffs of up to 125% on imports from China and potential Chinese export restrictions on LFP technology and rare earth materials, place America’s manufacturing future at risk. First Phosphate provides a direct and domestic solution. The Company has been actively building a North American LFP ecosystem, vertically integrated from mine to battery-grade material, to ensure supply chain security, transparency, and sovereignty. “America stands at the cusp of a manufacturing revival driven by AI, robotics, and energy storage,” said John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate. “However, this future hinges on one critical factor: reliable, domestically sourced LFP battery material. First Phosphate reiterates its strategic role in supporting the future of American manufacturing and energy security.” First Phosphate Strategic Advantages High-Purity Phosphate Resource The Company holds over 1,000 sq. km of rare, high-purity igneous phosphate claims in Quebec, capable of supporting over 350 GWh of LFP battery production annually. Its phosphate ore is amongst the purest in the world and is naturally low in deleterious elements and can be mined without solvents. Advanced Processing First Phosphate’s high-purity phosphate ore can be fully and sustainably refined into battery-grade material without generating gypsum slag piles, a common byproduct when processing lower grade and lower yielding phosphate ores. Full Vertical Integration The Company is uniquely positioned to manage the full value chain-from mining to phosphate processing to LFP cathode active material (CAM) production-ensuring supply traceability, quality control, and supply security. Strategic Location & Infrastructure Located in the industrial hub of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, operations benefit from a skilled workforce, regional airport, deep-sea port to global markets, and rail access to North American markets. Strong Partnerships First Phosphate is co-developing its supply chain with major partners in the phosphate, iron and LFP battery supply chain, and has established collaborative agreements with local industrial and Indigenous communities. Advanced Development Milestones Achievements include a NI 43-101 Technical Report, Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), and pilot plants for mineralogy/metallurgy, phosphoric acid, gypsum valorization, and iron powder. Phosphoric acid plant prefeasibility study completed as well as iron phosphate plant feasibility study. Upstream and downstream offtake agreements in place.

About First Phosphate Corp. First Phosphate (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQB: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) is a mineral development company dedicated to producing high-purity phosphate for the LFP battery industry. The Company is committed to sustainable extraction and purification with a low anticipated carbon footprint. Its vertically integrated model connects phosphate mining directly into the supply chains of North American battery producers. First Phosphate’s flagship project, the Bégin-Lamarche Property in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, contains rare igneous anorthosite rock that yields high-purity phosphate with minimal impurities.

Vancouver, British Columbia – Newsfile Corp. – April 15, 2025 – Intrepid Metals Corp. (TSXV: INTR) (OTCQB: IMTCF) (“Intrepid” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that several new porphyry copper-gold targets have been identified on the Corral Copper Property (“Corral” or the “Property”), located in Cochise County, part of the prolific Turquoise District of southeastern Arizona. Corral is geologically analogous to the prolific Bisbee Camp (located ~100km southeast) where high-grade copper-gold Carbonate Replacement Deposits (“CRD”) (e.g., Copper Queen; 53Mt @ 6% Copper1) are spatially associated with Jurassic porphyry copper-gold porphyry deposits (Lavender Pit; 223 Mt @ 0.63% Copper past production2). Although there is porphyry style alteration and mineralization at Corral, a systematic porphyry exploration campaign for the district has not been previously completed. “The Corral Copper District hosts widespread carbonate replacement copper-gold-silver mineralization, which represents the distal expression of a potential copper porphyry deposit,” stated Ken Engquist, CEO of Intrepid. “Aspects of the CRD mineralization intersected during the 2024 drill program at Corral confirmed our assertion that there is porphyry copper potential at the Property. The drill core demonstrates key geological features consistent with the transition from lower temperature CRD mineralization to higher temperature skarn mineral assemblages, as well as mineralized vein styles that form in or near the porphyry environment.” The Corral Copper Project is centered on 3 northwest trending CRD style copper-gold-silver prospects including Ringo, Earp and Holliday (Figure 1). At Bisbee, deposits formed in the same host rocks (Abrigo Limestone) and similar age and composition intrusions ~100 kilometers southeast of Corral and include the Copper Queen CRD (53 Mt @ 6% Copper1) and the associated Lavender porphyry copper deposit that contains 223 Mt @ 0.63% Cu2. Since CRD style copper-gold-silver mineralization can occur peripheral to a copper-gold porphyry deposit, Intrepid has, for the first time in the Property’s history, conducted a systematic targeting exercise to identify porphyry zones in a highly prospective exploration district with intensely altered and copper-gold mineralized host rocks. The Company cautions that discoveries or mineralization on analogous properties (e.g. Bisbee Camp, Copper Queen, Lavender Pit) may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of mineralization on the Corral Property. New Porphyry Copper-Gold Targets The highly successful 2024 drill program at Corral provided Intrepid the first opportunity to evaluate host rocks, alteration and mineralization styles and intensities in all of the Holliday, Earp and Ringo zones (see Intrepid News Release dated July 9, 2024; Figure 1). The Ringo Zone is best understood and is significant because it contains a near-surface supergene enrichment blanket, disseminated intrusion hosted copper-gold-sliver mineralization in the Copper Bell Porphyry, as well as CRD style mineralization hosted in the Cambrian Abrigo and Mississippian Escabrosa formation limestones. Mineralization styles include multiple high-grade lenses of massive sulphide, copper-bearing hydrothermal breccias in addition to mineral assemblages transitional to higher temperature skarn and vein features with associated potassic alteration consistent with porphyry copper-gold deposits (porphyry B-Veins; see Figures 2A-F). The Corral Copper Project contains numerous examples of superposed argillic, quartz-sericite-pyrite and locally higher temperature potassic alteration in intrusions which indicates proximity to porphyry copper-gold mineralization (Figures 1 and 2). Intrepid has conducted systematic exploration targeting leveraging geological mapping and geochemical sampling, WorldView3 short wave infrared surface alteration studies and ZTEM, VTEM, radiometric and magnetic airborne geophysics to identify positions on the property with porphyry copper-gold potential. Intrepid has prioritized target areas with porphyry-style surface expressions defined by multiple datasets that exceed 1 x 1 kilometers with demonstrable depth continuity. Intrepid is currently conducting field mapping and sampling to strengthen confidence in the porphyry targets with the ultimate objective of advancing them to the drill stage. Targets are associated with surface alteration (mapping and/or WorldView3 anomalies), large, deep ZTEM resistivity/conductivity and magnetic geophysical features. The highest priority targets are directly associated with copper-gold mineralization at surface (Figure 1). Figure 1.

Veins and textures from Ringo that are considered either transitional to or indicative of porphyry mineralization including 1A-1C grey to glassy quartz only or quartz+pyrite veins, either massive or with discernible centerlines; 1D Vuggy silica, druses and clay alteration that is cut by pyrite and chalcopyrite consistent with the shallow porphyry environment; 1E Chalcopyrite replacing Gusano texture (lower argillic alteration zone); 1F Stained slab showing potassium feldspar alteration (stains yellow) demonstrating quartz-sericite veins that cut higher temperature potassic alteration. Lower temperature porphyry style alteration (quartz-sericite-pyrite) superimposed on higher temperature (potassic) alteration is called “telescoping” which is a feature of high-grade systems where mineralization is enhanced when two Cu systems are superimposed.
