Doubleview Gold Corp Announces Important High-Grade Copper and Gold Intercepts at Hat Polymetallic Deposit in Northwestern British Columbia

Highlights: 2025 season drilling totals 8,506 metres in 12 drill holes and is continuing. Drill hole assay intervals include some of the highest-grade mineralization intercepted to date at the Hat Project. Recent drill holes are extending the mineralization envelope of the Hat deposit and will be incorporated in the next Mineral Resource Estimate. Vancouver, British Columbia – (Newsfile Corp. – September 11, 2025) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company” or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce important and very significant assay results from its 2025 drilling program at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia. The results from drill holes H090, H091, and H092 include some of the most substantial intervals of high-grade copper and gold mineralization encountered at the Hat Project to date and expand the footprint of mineralization well beyond the area considered in the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate that was reported in a 25/07/2024 news release. Drill holes H090, H091, and H092 provide more details of the East Lisle Zone, and shallow extension of the Main Lisle Zone. Partial Data from 2025 Drill Holes: The recent drilling focused on the core Lisle Zone, where drilling intercepted what is interpreted as a potential porphyry feeder zone. The intercepts demonstrate both shallow and deep mineralization horizons and provide further evidence of the Hat Deposit’s robust mineralization profile. Table 1 summarizes important assay intervals from drill holes H090, H091 and H092. [Note that scandium (Sc) values are excluded from copper equivalent estimates but are shown to ensure complete disclosure of relevant data]. Data from subsequent drill holes will be released when assays are received and have been verified. To date (11/09/2025) 12 drill holes have been completed with total 8,506 metres (27,906 feet) and work is continuing.

Drill hole H091 shows several intervals with elevated levels of %CuEq, of which 153m to 180 metres (27m/88.6 ft) carries 0.58% CuEq and a remarkable 5.26% CuEq over 1.2m [Please note that the latter is an obvious outlier with 0.37% Cu, 6.43 g/t Au, 7.16g/t Ag and 230 g/t Co]. Drill hole H092 also shows numerous long intervals of high %CuEq including some near surface and others at depth that illustrate the potential for locating one or more “feeder” zones to the main Lisle Zone. The grades and intercepts reported from holes H090, H091 and H092 confirm the high-grade nature of the mineralization within parts of the Lisle Zone and may be indicative of proximity to the “core” and possible “feeder” zone. The intercepts display consistent copper, gold and strong cobalt values, as well as consistent scandium mineralization, further reinforcing the Hat Deposit’s potential as a significant resource of strategic metals. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate in plan and sectional views the recent drill holes H090 and H091 along with a conceptual open pit outline. The conceptual pit likely will be adjusted substantially as more data becomes available. Figure 3 illustrates drill hole H092 and pre-existing drill holes. H092 is one of the most important drill holes on the Hat property because it greatly extends the zone of higher-grade mineralization easterly and to depth. Several subsequent drill holes were designed to confirm and explore this area.

Services trade fair shows China’s continued commitment to opening up, expert says

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 September 2025 – The 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services underscores China’s commitment to high-level opening-up, according to one expert. The 2025 CIFTIS opened in Beijing , themed “Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services” “It is these areas that today determine the transition from traditional services to high-tech and knowledge-intensive solutions,” Tolonbek Abdyrov, a professor of economics and vice rector of the International Higher School of Medicine in Kyrgyzstan, told Xinhua, noting China’s push in cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, fintech, digital healthcare and online education. This year’s fair, scheduled from Wednesday to Sunday in Beijing, will highlight how digital and intelligent technologies are reshaping the sector. “For the international community, for many countries of the world, this means there is an opportunity not only to access modern technologies, but also to participate in new standards of the global market,” he said. Abdyrov said China continues to improve systems and mechanisms for opening its economy to the world. For developing countries, the professor added, cooperation with China in services offers clear advantages.

(Xinhua/Chen Zhonghao) The 2025 CIFTIS opened in Beijing , themed “Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services” “Firstly, this opens access to the world’s largest market, where demand for innovative solutions continues to grow. Secondly, China creates conditions for cross-border cooperation, which reduces barriers to entry and exit,” he said. That also includes opportunities to advance green and sustainable services, laying the groundwork for long-term partnerships aligned with global development goals. According to China’s Ministry of Commerce, service imports and exports in the first half of 2025 topped 3.8 trillion yuan (533 billion U.S. dollars), up 8 percent year on year. The growth, Abdyrov said, highlights how services are emerging as a strategic sector even as global goods trade slows. The professor pointed to China’s institutional reforms, such as streamlined rules for foreign-funded companies, pilot free trade zones and new digital standards, as examples of how Beijing is promoting openness and innovation. “These steps not only strengthen China’s competitiveness, but also create a platform for equal participation by partners, including emerging economies,” Abdyrov said. He added that the fair will serve not only as a showcase of China’s achievements but also as an invitation for other countries to help shape a new generation of global trade rules grounded in innovation, digitalization and sustainable growth.

Chinese services trade fair draws global participation, highlights open markets

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 September 2025 – Against the backdrop of repurposed blast furnaces and industrial relics of Shougang Park in western Beijing, the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) opened on Wednesday, striking a tone of open markets and digital innovation.

(Xinhua/Chen Yehua) This year marks the first time the entire fair is being held at Shougang Park, a 3-square-kilometer industrial heritage site and a venue for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The theme, “Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services,” underscores a focus that resonates far beyond China’s borders. The scale of this year’s CIFTIS is vast, with 85 countries and international organizations — including Australia, Germany and the World Intellectual Property Organization — taking part. Nearly 2,000 companies are exhibiting on-site, including close to 500 Fortune Global 500 companies and industry-leading enterprises like Walmart, AstraZeneca and KPMG. The fair’s participants, notably, come from 26 of the world’s top 30 countries and regions in terms of services trade. The transformation of the global economy, where services now form the backbone of growth, took center stage in speeches and discussions at the Global Trade in Services Summit, co-hosted on Wednesday by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), China’s Ministry of Commerce and the Beijing municipal government. “Services are no longer a supporting actor in global commerce. They are a driver of growth,” said Johanna Hill, deputy director-general of the World Trade Organization (WTO). She highlighted that the sector accounts for two-thirds of the global economy, half of worldwide employment and 40 percent of trade flows in value-added terms. Echoing Hill’s comments, Pedro Manuel Moreno, deputy secretary-general of UNCTAD, called services “the center of global economic transformation.” He shared striking figures — services exports have grown twice as fast as goods exports over the past decade, rising from 22 percent of world exports in 2014 to 27 percent in 2024. They also attract over half of all global foreign direct investment.

(Xinhua/Shan Yuqi) China leveraged the platform to reaffirm its commitment to opening up. In his keynote speech, Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang noted that the country’s services trade scale “broke new ground in 2024, exceeding 1 trillion U.S. dollars for the first time.” He linked this to China’s institutional opening of its services sector, including the rollout of a nationwide negative list for cross-border services trade, expanded market access in telecoms and healthcare, facilitated services trade and visa-free policies. Official data showed that the total value of China’s services trade climbed 8 percent year on year to 3.9 trillion yuan (about 548.82 billion U.S. dollars) in the first half of 2025 — hitting a historic record. China’s Commerce Minister Wang Wentao emphasized how the host venue, Shougang Park, blends industrial heritage with the Winter Olympics legacy to promote interaction between exhibitions, conferences, business, tourism, culture and sports. The role of international collaboration proved a recurring topic on the opening day. Australia is the guest country of honor at the 2025 CIFTIS. “It’s an important platform for us to build links between Australian and Chinese businesses,” said Scott Dewar, Australian ambassador to China. He highlighted the presence of 60 Australian companies at the 2025 edition of this fair — spanning sectors like education, tourism, finance, healthcare, architecture and food and beverages. This sentiment was shared on the ground. “Australia and China have had a long collaboration in the education sector, which is a key area of the services trade,” said Christopher Hogg, global business development manager at Chisholm Institute of TAFE, a provider of vocational training and higher education in Australia. Henning Kristoffersen, commercial counselor of the Norwegian Embassy in Beijing, attending this event for a third time, pointed to concrete business opportunities. “Chinese consumers are very health-conscious. And for the products that we have in Norway, this is great,” he said, mentioning Omega-3 supplements and fish oil as examples. “Our companies have a great chance to showcase their products and meet potential Chinese partners.” More than a diplomatic and business gathering, the fair is also a launchpad for innovation. A total of 113 companies will unveil 198 new products and achievements at the 2025 edition — spanning the fields of artificial intelligence, healthcare and smart logistics, as well as the integrated development of business, tourism, culture, sports and wellness. Alongside the core agenda of 13 themed forums, 82 special topic forums and 81 promotional business talks — there will be over 40 supportive activities ranging from cultural performances and pop-up markets to sports events, aimed at boosting consumption and enhancing the fair experience. “I’m encouraged by the content that we’re about to see, including innovative technology and digitalization,” said Crystal Edn, executive director of member services for the World Trade Centers Association, who is attending her first CIFTIS. The event will run for five days until Sept. 14 — with the first three days set aside for professional visitors and the last two open to the general public.

Holding High the Banner of Opening-up and Leading Trade in Services, Beijing Is Setting a New Benchmark for Opening up the Chinese Services Sector: Through the Lens of CIFTIS

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 September 2025 – On September 10, the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), themed “Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services,” opened as scheduled.

The 2025 CIFTIS opened in Beijing on Wednesday, themed Embra More than 80 countries and international organizations have brought distinctive exhibits and events; nearly 500 Fortune Global 500 companies and global industry leaders have set up offline exhibitions; over 170 forums and business matchmaking sessions are underway; and more than 190 new products and achievements are making their debut… After 13 years, CIFTIS has evolved from a simple sector-specific exhibition into a major global platform for “Global Services, Shared Prosperity.” Beijing, the capital city of China, is leveraging this momentum to raise high the banner of opening up and set a new benchmark for opening up the services sector.

The 2025 CIFTIS opened in Beijing on Wednesday, themed Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower The Evolution of CIFTIS: From Industry Showcase to a Global, Open Platform Inside Shougang Park, the exhibition spaces complement the industrial aesthetic of the Big Air and steel furnaces. At Australia’s Guest of Honor pavilion, spanning over 300 square meters, a miniature model of the Sydney Opera House, lifelike representations of kangaroos and koalas—national treasures of Australia, and interactive screens create an immersive experience that draws visitors in. This year, nearly 60 Australian institutions and businesses have brought their latest achievements to Beijing. “CIFTIS offers a platform to raise brand visibility, expand institutional cooperation, and explore new partnerships,” said Dale Pinto, Global President and Chair of CPA Australia, who is attending for the second time. “Participation has not only increased our visibility but also strengthened relationships with our Chinese partners. We look forward to deepening cooperation and offering our expertise in areas such as digitalization.” Such feedback reflects the growth of CIFTIS and China’s steady progress in trade in services. In 2012, the total value of China’s trade in services was USD 482.9 billion; by 2024, it had surpassed the 1-trillion-dollar mark. Once reliant on conventional sectors like logistics, China’s trade in services is now shifting toward high-value-added, knowledge-intensive, and innovation-driven fields. In 2023, knowledge-intensive services already accounted for 41.4% of the total. Over the past 13 years, as China’s trade in services continued to expand, CIFTIS has undergone its own remarkable transformation: from an initial focus on outsourcing, it has fully embraced digital and intelligent technologies while integrating green and global development into its gene. The exhibition space has expanded from 50,000 square meters at the inaugural edition to a 3-square-kilometer “city showcase” today. What began as foreign businesses bringing products into China has evolved into dynamic Chinese companies taking AI algorithms and green solutions global. Discussions have shifted from logistics and exports of cultural products to digital trade, smart healthcare, and low-carbon services… To date, over 1.1 million exhibitors and professional visitors and more than 900 overseas institutions from 198 countries and regions have become regular participants. Adapting to the latest global economic developments and trends, this year’s CIFTIS has proactively upgraded and readied itself with cutting-edge technologies and sharp industry insights to meet a new wave of international cooperation and competition. First, cutting-edge technologies are employed to deliver “immersive experiences” for visitors. According to Sima Hong, Vice Mayor of Beijing, this year’s CIFTIS will highlight specialized fields such as artificial intelligence, healthcare, and smart logistics—showcasing not just products, but the services behind the technology. Interactive features include a digital avatar promoting “Beijing Solutions” and a full-process demonstration of AI-enabled biopharmaceutical R&D. Second, debuts and launches showcase the strength of “China Services.” More than 190 new products and solutions are being unveiled, including a 3D-printed polymer fatigue-resistant absorbable vascular stent and a professional-scale optical quantum computer exceeding 1,000 qubits. Demonstration cases in AI and green innovation will also be released, further enhancing the reputation of “Beijing Services” and “China Services.” Third, idea exchanges chart a “roadmap” for global cooperation. Thirteen thematic forums and over 80 specialized sessions will address hot topics such as technological innovation, digital services, and eco-environmental protection. More than 200 ministerial-level guests and heads of international organizations will gather to discuss trends and tackle challenges. A guide on trade in services data and policies for developing countries, co-developed by China’s Ministry of Commerce and UNCTAD, will be released during the fair. By aligning with the latest trends of digital, intelligent, and green development in trade in services, CIFTIS has achieved a historic leap over the past 13 years. With its high level of professionalism and openness, it has grown into a truly international and open platform. Beijing’s Breakthrough: Pilot Reforms Drive Leap in Trade in Services CIFTIS exemplifies China’s commitment to high-standard opening-up. In recent years, a series of pioneering policies have delivered tangible benefits, driving the opening-up of the services sector, improving the business environment, and turning blueprints displayed at exhibitions into market reality. In May, inside a temperature-controlled warehouse at Beijing Tianzhu Comprehensive Bonded Zone operated by Beijing Kyuan Pharmaceutical, Co., Ltd., a batch of vosoritide—a drug used to treat a rare pediatric disease—was quickly inspected by customs officials and transported to Beijing Children’s Hospital. These critical medicines, which had not yet received formal market approval in China, reached patients swiftly thanks to special policies under Beijing’s pilot zone for rare disease drug access. The Work Plan for Supporting Beijing in Developing the Integrated National Demonstration Zone for Opening Up the Services Sector, approved by the State Council, supports the city in establishing this zone, using a “white list” system to help patients access urgently needed treatments. So far, more than 10 rare-disease drugs have been temporarily imported through this “express channel.” This case reflects
