Key Findings:KOCH DLE Process achieves an average lithium recovery rate of 98%Key brine contaminants average rejection greater than 99%, resulting in low purification production costsIndustry leading Lithium Chloride concentration attainedLi:TDS ratio of up to 0.129, averaging 0.126, significantly above the target Li:TDS of 0.08, expected to lower the cost with less evaporation during the EV battery grade purification process43,500 gallons (165,000 litres) of high purity lithium chloride was produced that meet or exceeded the specifications required by downstream processorsNEWPORT BEACH, CA, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Anson Resources Limited (ASX:ASN) ("Anson" or the "Company"), through its 100% owned subsidiary in the USA, A1 Lithium Inc (A1 Lithium) is pleased to announce that successful completion of the pilot program with KOCH Technology Solutions ("KTS"). The program successfully delivered all technical requirements, producing high concentration and high purity lithium chloride eluate at the onsite Direct Lithium Extraction ("DLE") unit from freshly extracted lithium rich brine at its Green River Lithium Project, in south-eastern Utah, USA.The KTS DLE Process achieved an average lithium recovery rate of 98% and the rejection rates of contaminants exceeded 99%. In addition the Li:TDS averaged 0.125 significantly exceeding the industry standard Li:TDS ratio required for downstream processing of 0.08 by 57%. This will result in lower processing costs of the lithium carbonate that the company plans to produce.Based upon these results KTS will provide to Anson/A1 Lithium "process guarantees" for a commercial scale plant of 10,000 tons per annum of lithium carbonate.The KTS DLE plant successfully produced 43,500 gallons (165,000 litres) of high-quality eluate at the Green River, Utah, USA site, which is stored and now available for downstream processing.Superior Containment Rejection and RecoveryThe KTS DLE process test work achieved an average lithium recovery rate of 98% and a high rejection rate of the key impurities meeting or exceeding all targets. Where the DLE step rejects a higher percentage of impurities, the resulting lithium chloride solution, which is to become lithium carbonate electric vehicle (EV) grade of 99.95% purity, can be converted more efficiently. The level of rejection in the preliminary results, of the key impurities from the KTS DLE process during an optimized configuration and operation parameter were:Executive CommentaryAnson's Executive Chairman & CEO, Mr. Bruce Richardson commented, "These results from the KTS DLE pilot program are exceptional. The industry leading Li:TDS ratio will make a significant contribution to the financial success of the Green River Lithium Project as will the very high rates of impurity rejection. The cooperation has been truly successful. Congratulations to both the KTS and A1 Lithium teams that worked so hard on this project. Anson looks forward to further collaboration with KTS as partners in the development of the Green River Lithium Project." Mr Richardson continued, "Testing of DLE process is essential to reduce commercial production risks and assists in financing a project. Anson has conducted several DLE test work programs, at different times of the year and the KTS results are a standout, not only technically but also from a cost perspective. Anson will continue to focus on these two aspects during the development of the Green River Lithium Project to maximize investor and shareholder returns."Lithium Business Leader at Koch Technology Solutions, Garrett Krall said, "We are proud to achieve this level of brine production at an industry-leading TDS, demonstrating the capability of Li-Pro™ technology and its continued successful commercialization with Anson. This milestone marks a great step forward for the commercial success of DLE, and we are excited to continue supporting this Project in Utah."Pathway to CommercializationKTS has indicated to Anson that there is enough data from the test work to provide a "Technical Annex" that will include process guarantees for a 10,000 tpa production plant using its Li-Pro™ LSS technology. This is expected to be completed in a few months. A process guarantee is a key requirement in securing debt funding for the Project.Exceptional Lithium Purity & Process EfficiencyThe process achieved an average lithium recovery of 98% over the seven months of operation and generated approximately 43,500 gallons (165,000 liters) of lithium chloride at or above the specifications required by downstream processors. The eluate can now be refined and concentrated using tested and proven steps to battery grade product. The production and retention of eluate provides sufficient lithium chloride for downstream test work and final product trials.DLE systems that produce a lithium chloride solution with a lithium-to-total dissolved solids ratio (Li:TDS) greater than 0.08 are considered as suitable for downstream processing. The lithium chloride eluate produced with the KTS DLE plant achieved a Li:TDS of up to 0.129. The average Li:TDS of 0.126 achieved over the program, is a 57% improvement relative to the target Li:TDS ratio of 0.08.A high Li:TDS ratio has positive implications for the costs of the lithium purification process step. A higher ratio equates to a lower amount of water to be removed (evaporated) prior to lithium carbonate precipitation. Less evaporation requires less energy to reduce the volume of eluate and increase the concentration of lithium prior to carbonation.The brine samples were assayed on site at Green River with the Company's ICP machine due to allow for continuous sampling and quick turnaround of assay results required to continually fine tune the DLE process. These assay results were then confirmed by independent third-party off-site laboratories.During the seven-month continuous operating period (August 2024 to February 2025) onsite, the KTS DLE plant successfully produced 43,500 gallons (165,000 litres) of high-quality eluate at Green River.The seven months of DLE test work allowed Anson and KTS to fine-tune the process control steps, identifying the optimal balance for lithium recovery, impurity removal, water usage, and lithium concentration under various climate conditions, including temperatures below freezing. This critical data will support the operation of the production plant, ensuring its efficiency throughout the year in diverse environmental conditions.Downstream of the DLE process, the LiCl solution which can be efficiently purified via standard ion exchange (IX) resins will be processed by various technologies to further remove the low concentrations of the unwanted impurities (e.g. calcium, potassium, magnesium, and boron). The pilot plant has shown a proven ability to produce LiCl solutions suitable as feedstock for this purification process.This announcement has been authorized for release by the Executive Chairman and CEO and reviewed & contributed to by KOCH Technology Solutions (KTS).About Anson Resources LtdAnson Resources (ASX:ASN) is an ASX-listed mineral resources company with a portfolio of minerals projects in key demand-driven commodities. Its core assets are the Green River and Paradox Lithium Project in Utah, in the USA. Anson is focused on developing these assets into a significant lithium producing operations.

HONG KONG, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Cornerstone Technologies Holdings Limited (“Cornerstone Technolgies” or the “Group”; Stock code: 8391), a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider in Hong Kong, today announced its audited annual results for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the “Reporting Year”).The Group achieved significant growth in the Reporting Year, with revenue nearly doubling to HK$153.1 million from HK$78.1 million in 2023. Gross profit surged by 91.8% year-on-year to HK$27.3 million. While the adjusted loss before interest, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted LBITDA”) further narrowed to HK$41.2 million, reflecting an improved operational efficiency and cost management.Robust Growth Across Core Businesses and Strong Market PotentialCornerstone Technologies’ core businesses – its private residential EV charging subscription service (Cornerstone HOME) and its public charging network (Cornerstone GO) – both demonstrated strong growth. The number of Cornerstone HOME subscribers has seen significant growth, surpassing 860 households, representing a 169.6% year-on-year increase in subscriptions. The Cornerstone GO public charging network experienced remarkable growth, expanding by 436.4% year-on-year, with membership surging 165.3% to 50,498. The total number of charging sites increased from 43 to 103. This expansion reflects the growing demand for sustainable EV charging solutions in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department projects a 30% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the EV market between 2021 and 2030. In February 2025, nearly 65% of newly registered private cars were electric vehicles, highlighting significant market acceptance and substantial future growth potential. However, with approximately 112,000 registered EVs and only around 10,000 public charging points, a considerable supply-demand gap exists.Successful Thailand Expansion Drives International GrowthIn 2024, Cornerstone Technologies successfully launched its “Spark” branded EV charging network in Thailand, marking a key milestone in its international expansion strategy.

At the end of 2024, approximately 227,500 EVs were registered, yet only about 11,500 charging points were available - an EV-to-charger ratio of 19.8, indicating significant unmet demand and substantial growth potential. The Thai government's ambitious targets -725,000 EVs by 2026 and 2.5 million by 2040 - further underscore this potential. Based on Hong Kong's EV-to-charger ratio of 10.8, Thailand would require at least 67,129 charging points by 2026 alone. This significant market opportunity prompted Cornerstone Technologies' strategic entry into the Thai market, enabling the company to expand its global presence and build a strong foundation for future growth by directly addressing this demand.Commentary from Mr. Vincent Yip, CEO and Executive Director of Cornerstone Technologies: “The Group is making strong progress towards profitability and is confident about its future. We are actively pursuing growth opportunities in Hong Kong, Thailand, and other markets. Our focus remains on driving technological innovation and service excellence, reinforcing our industry leadership. Sustainability is central to our strategy. We are committed to expanding our intelligent and high-efficiency charging solutions to meet market demand and create long-term value for our stakeholders. We believe that through continuous innovation and strategic planning, Cornerstone Technologies will play a key role in shaping a greener and smarter future for the EV industry.” Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

With the growing demand for high-quality international produce in Singapore, aT aims to introduce more consumers to the unique textures, flavors, and versatility of Korean rice and fruits.Distinctive Korean FlavoursKorean cuisine is celebrated not only for its bold flavors but also for its numerous health benefits, thanks to its emphasis on fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients and time-honored culinary traditions. A cornerstone of Korean food is its use of fermented ingredients such as kimchi and doenjang (soybean paste), which are packed with probiotics that support gut health, improve digestion, and enhance overall well-being. These naturally fermented foods contribute to a balanced diet, aligning with the increasing consumer focus on digestive health and immune-boosting nutrition.Renowned for its chewy texture and exceptional quality, Korean rice has established itself as a distinctive staple in Singapore’s culinary landscape, setting it apart from varieties such as Thai jasmine rice and Vietnamese broken rice. Naturally gluten-free and rich in essential nutrients, Korean rice as well as rice products serves as the foundation for many beloved dishes, including bibimbap, tteokguk, and tteokbokki. Bibimbap stands out as a nutritionally balanced dish, featuring a vibrant medley of Korean vegetables that are high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants – key elements of a health-conscious diet. The focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients aligns with the growing global demand for healthier food choices, as reported by The Business Research Company, the functional foods market is projected to expand from $281.3 billion in 2024 to $315.1 billion in 2025, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12%.Beyond staple grains, Korean fruits such as Shine Muscat grapes and premium strawberries have gained international recognition for their exceptional sweetness and quality. Frequently used in both savory and dessert dishes, these fruits are not only a treat for the palate but also rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, further reinforcing the health benefits of Korean cuisine. As consumers worldwide increasingly prioritise immune-boosting foods, the demand for nutrient-dense Korean ingredients continues to rise.Premium K-Food Exhibition: A Display of Various Korean Rice Products as well as Other Korean ProduceAt the event, a stunning display of premium K-Food export products took center stage. From Korean rice and rice-based products to traditional liquors and premium fruits such as Korean strawberries and Shine Muscat grapes, the showcase offered a rich selection of Korea’s finest ingredients. A standout highlight was the introduction of 12 traditional Korean liquors, specially airlifted from Korea for this event. These liquors, many of which had never been exported to Singapore before, showcased the incredible diversity of Korean traditional brews, featuring unique ingredients such as plum, lingzhi, pine and yuzu, all crafted with a base of Korean rice.Adding to the excitement was the Baba Gimbap, a product that made waves after selling out in major U.S. retail stores in 2023. Visitors also had the chance to discover a variety of rice-based delicacies, including porridge, tteokbokki, and rice cakes.The fresh produce display corner was undoubtedly the centerpiece of the event. Featuring Korean-grown rice, renowned for its superior quality, alongside premium Korean strawberries and Shine Muscat grapes, the display highlighted some of Korea’s most coveted agricultural treasures. With their vibrant colors and pristine presentation, these premium ingredients created a stunning visual showcase, embodying the essence of luxury and excellence. Guests had the opportunity to explore these exquisite products up close, further deepening their appreciation for the richness of Korean fresh produce.A Culinary Showcase: Korean Ingredients in Everyday CookingThe event featured a live cooking demonstration led by esteemed culinary instructor Kim Hyuna, who guided attendees through the preparation of four signature dishes incorporating Korean ingredients, including premium rice and fruits:Bibimbap – A classic Korean mixed rice dish featuring a vibrant assortment of seasonal local and Korean vegetables and a rich, flavourful gochujang (red chili paste) sauce.Gungjung Tteokbokki – A royal court-style variation of the popular dish that showcases the diversity of tteokbokki by incorporating an assortment of vegetables. The combination of fresh ingredients and the chewy texture of tteok creates a harmonious blend of flavors.Tteokguk – Despite being a staple in Korean cuisine, tteokguk remains relatively unknown overseas. This dish is prepared by simmering beef until tender in a deeply flavourful broth and seasoned with a simple yet refined touch, tteokguk is the quintessential New Year’s dish, comforting, satisfying, and rich in cultural significance.Nurungji Ice Cream – A unique dessert crafted from nurungji (crispy scorched rice) and millet powder. Soft ice cream is paired with crunchy nurungji crackers and a dusting of warm millet powder, drawing inspiration from the Western affogato. Seasonal Korean strawberries or Shine Muscat grapes are added as toppings for a refreshing twist.Guests also had the opportunity to savour these dishes alongside traditional Korean wine pairings, enhancing their appreciation of the depth and complexity of Korean cuisine.A Commitment to Elevating Korean Produce in SingaporeSpeaking at the event, Song Mi-Ryung, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of South Korea, remarked, “As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Singapore, we are deeply honored to host this event, showcasing the best of Korean cuisine in Singapore. We have carefully curated four special menus featuring premium Korean rice and rice products, fresh strawberries and shine muscat grapes, all grown in Korea’s distinct four seasons, paired with traditional liquors that perfectly complement each dish. We hope that many in Singapore will come to appreciate and enjoy these exceptional Korean ingredients, from rice-based delicacies to our vibrant fruits and time-honored liquors. This event reaffirms aT’s dedication to enhancing awareness and accessibility of Korean produce in Singapore. By showcasing the superior quality and versatility of Korean rice and berries, we aim to strengthen our presence in the market and inspire more consumers to embrace the rich and diverse flavors of Korea.”Korean Fresh Zone: Masterclasses and more at CS Fresh at Great World CityBuilding on the excitement around Korean fresh produce, aT, in partnership with CS Fresh at Great World City, will be hosting the Korean Fresh Zone Promotion from 20 to 26 March.Renowned chef Daren Teo – better known online as @thepantryboy – will be leading a series of exclusive masterclasses, showcasing the art of preparing iconic Korean dishes such as Japchae, Kimchi-jjigae, Boseot Jeongol and delectable Korean-inspired desserts like fruit tarts.

SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), a world leader in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), has received the prestigious EMAR/FR 145 Maintenance Organization Approval for component maintenance from the French Military Continuing Airworthiness Authority, DSAE. This approval underscores GA-ASI's commitment to the highest standards of safety, compliance, and operational excellence in military aviation.The EMAR framework is a set of regulations developed from commercial aerospace standards (FAA/EASA) that are designed to ensure airworthiness for European military aircraft. It establishes a common airworthiness framework recognized by military airworthiness authorities worldwide. EMAR/FR 145 certification authorizes maintenance organizations to perform critical maintenance tasks while ensuring strict adherence to safety, reliability, and documentation requirements.GA-ASI's EMAR/FR 145 approval allows the company to issue EMAR Form 1s (Return to Service forms) for components serviced by the approved maintenance organization, confirming the safety and airworthiness of the equipment. This recognition applies to GA-ASI's maintenance activities at its Poway and Adelanto, California, facilities and covers CAT C (component maintenance) services."This approval is a significant achievement for GA-ASI, positioning the company to better serve international customers, especially military users of our MQ-9A and MQ-9B UAS platforms," said Sam Richardson, GA-ASI vice president of Sustainment. "The ability to leverage the EMAR/FR 145 certification streamlines the company's processes, reduces costs, and accelerates future airworthiness pursuits, as many future customers will recognize this certification rather than requiring a full, independent certification process."By obtaining EMAR/FR 145 approval, GA-ASI further demonstrates its ability to meet the stringent demands of the global defense market. The framework's widespread recognition ensures that GA-ASI can expand operations and offer high-quality, compliant maintenance services to international customers, ultimately driving company growth in global markets.This certification offers significant operational and financial benefits for both GA-ASI and its customers. For GA-ASI, the approval reduces future oversight costs by leveraging the DSAE Audit Team's oversight activities, ensuring a more efficient and cost-effective certification process for future non-French EMAR customers. For customers, the EMAR/FR 145 approval provides a framework recognized internationally, offering a streamlined maintenance certification process. The recognition agreements between EMAR and non-EMAR countries allow future customers to leverage GA-ASI's French approval, saving time and resources compared to a full certification effort.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
