With Step-Out Drilling Continuing, Radisson Demonstrates Meaningful Resource Growth at O’Brien with an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 2, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQB: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to report an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The Company is currently undertaking a fully-funded 140,000-metre step-out drill program at the Project with the objective of determining the scope of mineralization to a depth of 2 kilometres. This program commenced in 2025 and is expected to continue through the first half of 2027. Today's updated MRE is an interim report that demonstrates the impact of recent drilling successes completed as of December 31, 2025. Highlights include:82% increase in Inferred Mineral Resources from step-out drilling intersecting new mineralization, with 1.69 million ounces ("Moz") in 10.37 million tonnes ("Mt") at 5.08 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au");8% increase in Indicated Mineral Resources with 0.63 Moz in 3.49 Mt at 5.59 g/t Au;Estimated using US$2,500/oz Au and 2.2 g/t Au cut-off, with a refined geological model and capping strategy, establishing the go-forward basis for future, modern mine development.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "Today we report the first of several planned, step-by-step updates to the MRE at the O'Brien Gold Project, quantifying the impact of our recent drilling success and establishing a clear foundation for future, modern mine development. With just 25% of our 140,000 metre step-out drill program completed, the new vein mineralization delineated beneath the historic mine workings and the previous mineral resource volume (Radisson news release dated February 12, 2026) has resulted in an 82% increase in the quantity of Inferred Mineral Resources, now 1.69 Moz (10.37 Mt at 5.08 g/t Au). At the same time, we have refined the estimate of Indicated Mineral Resources, incorporating more tonnes at a lower average grade for an 8% increase in contained ounces, now 0.63 Moz (3.49 Mt at 5.59 g/t Au). Our estimates utilize a 2.2 g/t Au cut-off at a reasonable gold price assumption of US$2,500/oz.""The former O'Brien Mine was known for high-grade ore-shoots mined in small volumes. Mining ended in 1957 with the gold price at US$35/oz. Significant volumes of mineralized vein material, below what we believe to have been a 7 g/t to 8 g/t Au cut-off, were left untouched. Now, we are presenting the Project as it should be viewed for future development: not as a bespoke deposit of extreme grade and limited scale, but as an extensive Abitibi vein deposit with a substantial inventory of mineralized material amenable to modern mechanized mining at higher throughput." "Our step-out drill campaign at O'Brien is ongoing with up to eight rigs. We expect to complete 72,500 metres in 2026 and 32,500 metres in the first half of 2027. This is in addition to the meterage supporting today's updated MRE. The vein mineralization system we have been intersecting is open at depth. In fact, since our step-out drilling began in the fall of 2024, we have been seeing an impressive 84% success rate in intercepting classic O'Brien quartz-sulphide-gold veins with grades and thicknesses consistent with today's updated MRE. Looking to a 2-kilometre exploration floor, we believe an appropriate Exploration Target at O'Brien is another 5 Mt to 10 Mt at grades of between 4.0 g/t and 6.0 g/t Au containing 0.6 Moz to 2.0 Moz. We expect to complete further step-by-step updates to the MRE as our drilling progresses."Cautionary statement: Readers are cautioned Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues including risks set forth in Radisson's filings made with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.A video presentation of today's news by Matt Manson can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IZwSSYbO70.Mineral Resource Estimate (effective January 31, 2026)The MRE is based on 428,440 metres of drilling completed to the end of December 31, 2025, and has been authored by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. ("SLR"). The estimate utilizes a 2.2 g/t Au cut-off at US$2,500/oz and makes certain assumptions on mining and processing costs, currency exchange rate, and metallurgical recovery (Table 1 and Figure 1). A wireframe vein model prepared by Radisson and reviewed by SLR constrains the estimate and applies a minimum width of 1.2 metres. Individual assays are capped at 60 g/t Au prior to compositing to full width of the veins, and the block model utilizes 5 by 2 by 5 metre blocks consistent with recent mine design studies.Table 1: Mineral Resource Estimate, Effective January 31, 2026CategoryTonnes (kt)Grade (g/t Au)Oz (koz Au)Indicated3,4935.59628Inferred10,3685.081,692Notes:Prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definition Standards (2014) and Best Practice Guidelines of Mineral Resources and Reserves (2019).Mineral resources are reported above a cut-off grade of 2.2 g/t Au based on a C$215/t operating cost, a long-term gold price of US$2,500/oz Au, a US$/C$ exchange rate of 1:1.33, and a metallurgical recovery of 90%. Wireframes were modelled at a minimum width of 1.2 m.Bulk density varies by deposit and lithology and ranges from 2.76 t/m³ to 2.87 t/m³. Individual assays were capped at 60 g/t Au prior to compositing to full vein width.Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Numbers may not add due to rounding. An MRE for the Project was previously published in March 2023 (Radisson news release dated March 2, 2023) based on 325,509 metres of drilling completed to the end of 2022. Indicated Mineral Resources (effective March 2, 2023) were estimated at 0.50 Moz (1.52 Mt at 10.26 g/t Au) with additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.45 Moz (1.60 Mt at 8.66 g/t Au). The 2023 study applied a 4.5 g/t Au cut-off at US$1,600/oz Au.In July 2025, Radisson published a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Project that utilized the 2023 estimate re-blocked by SLR in the Z-direction from 10 metres to 5 metres to allow for more flexible underground mine design. A cut-off of 2.2 g/t Au at US$2,000/oz Au and an updated set of economic criteria were applied in the re-blocking exercise consistent with the parameters used for the optimization of the PEA's underground mine schedule. No other changes were made. Indicated Mineral Resources (effective May 6, 2025) were estimated at 0.58 Moz (2.20 Mt at 8.22 g/t Au) with additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.93 Moz (6.67 Mt at 4.35 g/t Au).The updated MRE released today benefits from 66,387 metres of additional drilling in 122 drill holes conducted between 2023 and 2025, which is the most significant factor in the increase of Inferred Mineral Resources (Figure 2). Radisson has also validated an additional 36,544 meters of historic drilling. The updated MRE utilizes similar estimation parameters to previously, but a more restrictive approach to capping. In the March 2023 estimate, and as incorporated in the re-blocked May 2025Figure 1: Block Models for the Mineral Resource Estimates Effective May 6, 2025 (Top) with Recently Published Drill Results and the Updated MRE Effective January 31, 2026 (Bottom) To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/285831_ef6502aeb443086a_001full.jpgestimate, capping at 40 g/t Au was applied to the full-length composites. In the updated MRE, capping has been applied at 60 g/t Au to the underlying assays prior to compositing. This has the effect of reducing the average grade by approximately 12%, and in the opinion of Radisson and SLR is an appropriate approach to a narrow high-grade vein deposit such as O'Brien.Figure 2: 3D View of Block Model by Resource Classification (Left) and Gold Grade (Right) Illustrating Volume Utilized in the Previous May 2025 MRE To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/285831_ef6502aeb443086a_002full.jpgCompared to previous estimates, the aggregate impact on the Indicated Mineral Resources of the new drilling, the 2.2 g/t Au cut-off, and the updated capping strategy has been to add more tonnes at a lower average grade for an overall increase in contained ounces. The aggregate impact of these three factors on the Inferred Mineral Resources has been the addition of more tonnes at a higher average grade for an overall increase in contained ounces. Indicated Mineral Resources have increased by 8% to 0.63 Moz, based on an increase in tonnes of 58% to 3.49 Mt and a decrease in grade of 32% to 5.59 g/t Au. Inferred Mineral Resources have increased by 82% to 1.69 Moz, based on an increase in tonnage of 55% to 10.37 Mt and an increase in grade of 17% to 5.08 g/t Au.O'Brien's system of Quartz-Sulphide-Gold vein mineralization remains open to depth across a broad front beneath the historic mine workings and the updated MRE. The potential continuation of this mineralization to a 2 kilometres depth defines an Exploration Target of an additional 5 Mt to 10 Mt at grades of between 4.0 g/t and 6.0 g/t Au containing 0.6 Moz to 2.0 Moz. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.Table 2: Sensitivities of the Mineral Resource Estimate Based on Cut-OffTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/285831_ef6502aeb443086a_003full.jpgA New Vision for the O'Brien Gold ProjectThe historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au. It is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with manual mining methods applied to the highest-grade veins and ore shoots at an estimated cut-off grade of 7 g/t to 8 g/t Au. Parallel but lower-grade mineralized zones, which would be well above an economic cut-off grade today, were left unmined.The updated MRE does not incorporate any mineral resources potentially remaining in the former mine. However, in applying the lower grade cut-off of 2.2 g/t Au based on a gold-price estimate of US$2,500, the new estimate captures the overall volume attributes of the O'Brien mineralizing system, with more tonnes and more ounces at a lower average grade. This has the benefit of improving the continuity of mineralization for future mine planning, with larger stopes and more development headings supporting a higher potential mining rate. The Project has existing mining infrastructure to support such a vision, such as a shaft in the former mine extending to a 1,000 metres depth and multiple mills in the region with significant future capacity.Table 2 illustrates sensitivities on Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources and the MRE block model based on cut-off grade. These are:a) 8.0 g/t Au (US$700/oz) representing the former mine,b) 4.5 g/t Au (US$1,250/oz) representing the MRE effective March 2, 2023,c) 2.2 g/t Au (US$2,500/oz) representing the updated MRE, andd) 1.5 g/t Au (US$3,800/oz) representing the recent long-term consensus price of gold.The comparison clearly indicates the relationship between volume and grade based on cut-off, the directionality of steeply-plunging grade shoots at O'Brien, and the increased continuity of mineralization achieved at progressively lower cut-offs.Gold Mineralization at O'Brien and Step-Out Drill ProgramGold mineralization at O'Brien occurs within quartz-sulphide veins developed primarily within the interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the regionally significant Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness, and are associated with mineralized alteration envelopes of up to several metres in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths.Since the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-out drilling at O'Brien with the objective of determining the overall scope of mineralization at the Project to a depth of 2 kilometres (Figure 1). The priority is the quantity and distribution of mineral resources with step-outs rather than in-filling to upgrade the classification of the existing mineral resources.This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the program to 140,000 metres employing an eventual eight drill rigs (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025). An initial 35,000 metres of the program were completed in 2025, with 72,500 metres budgeted for 2026, and a further 32,500 metres scheduled for the first half of 2027.QP DisclosureDisclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Richard Nieminen, P.Geo., (QC), a geological consultant for Radisson and a Qualified Person for purposes of NI 43-101. Mr. Luke Evans, M.Sc., P.Eng., ing., of SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd., is the Qualified Person responsible for the preparation of the MRE at O'Brien.

Focus Graphite Officially Commences Government-Supported Thermal Purification Project to Establish Dual-Use Graphite Production in Canada ACN Newswire

Focus Graphite Officially Commences Government-Supported Thermal Purification Project to Establish Dual-Use Graphite Production in Canada

$14.1M NRCan-Funded Program Begins with Six-Tonne Bulk Sample to Produce 500 kg High-Purity Graphite for Reactor Engineering and Product ValidationOttawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 2, 2026) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has shipped a six-tonne bulk ore sample from its 100%-owned Lac Knife Graphite Project ("Lac Knife" or the "Project") to SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") in Lakefield, Ontario, officially commencing pilot-scale processing under its Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") funded demonstration program. The program is designed to produce approximately five hundred (500) kilograms of graphite concentrate to support downstream thermal purification, final reactor engineering, and product validation initiatives.The six-tonne sample will undergo crushing, blending, head assays and metallurgical benchmarking prior to pilot-scale processing. SGS will operate a batch pilot flotation circuit to generate high-grade graphite concentrate targeting approximately 95% graphitic carbon. Final concentrate will be dried and screened into size fractions suitable for subsequent purification testing. The Company anticipates that concentrate will be produced and shipped to its technology partner, Thermal & Material Engineer Center ("TMEC"), within approximately eight to nine weeks to support the commencement of final reactor design work, with the balance of the three-month program consisting primarily of data compilation and reporting activities.As previously announced on December 8, 2025, the Company formalized a funding agreement for up to $14.1 million in non-repayable contributions under NRCan's Global Partnerships Initiative ("GPI"). The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources said, "As global demand for critical minerals accelerates, Canada is ready to lead. Focus Graphite's work at Lac Knife shows how we can build a fully Canadian value chain-from resource to high-purity graphite-and strengthen our economic security in the process. Advancing pilot-scale processing here at home supports good jobs, attracts investment and reinforces Canada's position as a trusted supplier in a changing world."Claude Guay, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, added, "Today's progress at Lac Knife shows how Canadian companies are translating ambition into action. By advancing pilot-scale processing here in Canada, Focus Graphite is helping build the downstream capacity that supports good jobs, strengthens regional economies and positions Canada to supply the advanced materials our partners rely on."Richard Pearce, Technical Advisor to Focus, stated, "SGS Lakefield is a globally recognized leader in mineral processing and pilot-scale metallurgical testing and has extensive familiarity with the Lac Knife flowsheet. This bulk sample program represents a key milestone as we advance Lac Knife toward vertically integrated, high-purity graphite production in Canada. Generating pilot-scale concentrate materially de-risks scale-up and accelerates our pathway toward commercial demonstration."The concentrate generated through this program will serve two primary strategic objectives. Material shipped to TMEC will support final engineering, detailed design optimization and preparation of construction-level specifications for the Company's thermal purification plant reactor, representing a critical step toward fabrication and demonstration-scale production. In parallel, a portion of the concentrate will be retained for customer qualification and product validation initiatives, enabling engagement with potential end users across battery, defence, and advanced materials sectors. Together, these workstreams advance Focus' objective of establishing an integrated, Canadian supply chain pathway from resource to high-purity graphite product.High-purity graphite is an essential material used in lithium-ion batteries, energy storage systems, advanced defense applications and high-technology manufacturing. Establishing domestic production capacity for graphite concentrate and purification is increasingly viewed as strategically important for supply chain security, advanced manufacturing competitiveness and energy transition objectives.In parallel with metallurgical testing, Focus has conducted site visits to multiple potential host facilities in Quebec and Ontario for installation of its planned thermal purification demonstration plant. The Company is actively evaluating existing industrial infrastructure, utilities access, logistics networks and permitting pathways as it advances final reactor design in collaboration with its technology partner.The Company will provide further updates as pilot-scale processing progresses and as additional milestones are achieved.Qualified PersonThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Richard Pearce, PE, President of Brasil Insight Capital LLC., a consultant to the Company, and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument NI 43-101.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc.

AI Safety Asia Advances Crisis Diplomacy and Evidence-Based AI Governance at India AI Impact Summit 2026 ACN Newswire

AI Safety Asia Advances Crisis Diplomacy and Evidence-Based AI Governance at India AI Impact Summit 2026

HONG KONG, Mar 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, AI Safety Asia (AISA) convened two important conversations on the future of AI governance. The first examined how governments should respond when AI-related crises unfold across borders at machine speed. The second marking the launch of the International AI Safety Report 2026.Taken together, these sessions showed a change in the debate; moving past whether AI should be governed to a focus on how.Who verifies claims made by powerful systems? Who coordinates when an incident crosses jurisdictions in seconds? Who is responsible when an autonomous system acts, and no single ministry appears in charge? As AI systems become more agentic and embedded deeper into critical infrastructure, they are forcing diplomatic and regulatory institutions to respond in real time. The pressure on diplomatic and regulatory institutions is no longer just a theory, it is operational.Governing AI in a Fragmented WorldOn 17 February at Bharat Mandapam, AISA co-hosted the session "AI Crisis Diplomacy: Governing AI in a Fragmented World" in partnership with the Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) and the International Association for Safe and Ethical Artificial Intelligence (IASEAI).The session brought together senior experts in the space; Professor Stuart Russell, Audrey Tang, Dr. Yuko Harayama, Wan Sie Lee, and Azizjon Azimi, moderated by AISA's Chief Strategy Officer, Adjunct Professor Alejandro Reyes.Rather than rehearse abstract debates about regulation, the discussion focused on plausible crisis scenarios: a cross-border deepfake incident that destabilises diplomatic relations before verification catches up; an AI-enabled cyberattack cascading across jurisdictions; an autonomous infrastructure system operating in one country, hosted in another, and affecting a third.The problem is not only detection. It is coordination under uncertainty.The familiar argument that AI evolves too quickly to regulate was put under scrutiny. The pace of innovation does not make governance obsolete. Aviation, nuclear energy, and pharmaceuticals are governed by setting acceptable risk thresholds and requiring evidence that systems meet them. AI should be treated no differently. Governments need to insist on demonstrable safety and credible liability frameworks, rather than accepting disclaimers and opaque risk claims.Governments already know how to cooperate during crises. Pandemic response and cybersecurity have shown that cross-border coordination is possible. The gap in AI governance is not diplomatic architecture in principle, but operational channels between those responsible for technical evaluation. Joint testing efforts are not only about measuring model performance. They build trust, and trust is what allows regulators to pick up the phone, compare signals, and verify before escalation spirals.AI does not create entirely new categories of crisis, but amplifies existing ones. What changes is speed and scale. Human institutions deliberate; AI systems act, and bridging that gap requires new protocols, shared verification standards, and regular engagement long before a crisis forces coordination under pressure.Governance capacity matters, and durable infrastructure outperforms isolated interventions. Crisis diplomacy cannot be improvised, it must be built through trusted networks, regionally grounded expertise, and repeat engagement.The Evidence Dilemma and the 2026 International AI Safety ReportOn 18 February, AISA co-hosted the International AI Safety Report 2026 Launch Reception at the High Commission of Canada in India, in partnership with the High Commission, the UK AI Security Institute, and Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute.The event featured Professor Yoshua Bengio, Chair of the Report and Founder and Scientific Advisor of Mila, supported by co-leads Carina Prunkl and Stephen Clare.The report provides an independent scientific assessment of frontier general-purpose AI capabilities and risks; focusing on emerging risks, including malicious use, autonomous malfunctions, and systemic disruption, and confronts the evidence dilemma. Policymakers must act under conditions of uncertainty, yet waiting for perfect data runs the risk of leaving societies exposed.The Report documents rapid advances in reasoning systems and AI agents, as well as continued reliability challenges, risks in cyber and bio domains, and growing systemic concern; underscoring that risk management cannot rely on a single safeguard. Technical measures, institutional oversight, and societal resilience must be layered.The choice is not between innovation and safety, it is between unmanaged acceleration and accountable progress. Evidence standards, robust evaluations, and credible thresholds are essential if public trust is to keep pace with technical capability.For countries across Asia and the broader Global South, the issue is how to shape governance frameworks that reflect local institutional realities while contributing to global norms. AISA's mission is to ensure that regional expertise informs both national decisions and international debates.From Conversation to CapacityAI governance is not a single regulatory instrument. It is an evolving institutional practice. The next phase will be defined less by declarations and more by whether governments can verify claims, share information at speed, and operationalise coordination before crises escalate.Asia is not waiting for governance models to arrive from elsewhere. Across the region, policymakers, regulators, and technical experts are building their own capacity to govern frontier technologies responsibly, shaped by local realities and regional priorities. The next AI-driven crisis will not unfold on a diplomatic timetable; it will move at machine speed. Whether diplomacy and safety can keep up will depend on the institutions, relationships, and verification channels being built now, not after the fact.About AI Safety AsiaAI Safety Asia (AISA) believes progress in AI must begin with people. Since 2024, AISA has engaged more than 2,000 AI governance professionals across 16 Asian countries. Its work centres on building durable governance infrastructure: research that is regionally grounded, structured peer learning, and implementation-oriented engagement.AISA helps build capacity, bringing together policymakers, experts, and civil society to strengthen the knowledge, networks, and trust required to govern frontier technologies responsibly, grounded in regional realities. The institutions and relationships built today will determine whether diplomacy and safety can keep up.Social LinkLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ai-safety-asia/Media ContactBrand: AI Safety AsiaContact: Media teamWebsite: https://www.aisafety.asia Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

The Tomorrow Company Launches With a Bold Mandate to Build the Infrastructure Layer of the AI-Native Financial Era. ACN Newswire

The Tomorrow Company Launches With a Bold Mandate to Build the Infrastructure Layer of the AI-Native Financial Era.

Vancouver, BC, Mar 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Tomorrow Company (“TMRW”) today announced the completion of its strategic merger with Carbon Distributed Technologies AG (“CUT”) and Plato Technologies Inc., forming an integrated Web3 infrastructure platform positioned at the convergence of artificial intelligence, tokenized real-world assets, and programmable climate markets.The Company is launching with a clear conviction: the next decade of value creation in digital finance will belong to those who build and own infrastructure — not interfaces. Systems that are programmable. Intelligence that is embedded. Assets that are verifiable. Rails that institutions can scale on.Global markets are entering a structural transformation. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming embedded into capital allocation, enterprise operations, and regulatory oversight. Digital assets are evolving from trading vehicles into programmable utility frameworks capable of moving value instantly and transparently. Climate accountability is moving from narrative commitments to measurable, auditable instrumentation.The Tomorrow Company is designed to operate at the intersection of these structural shifts — and to grow with them. The merger unites two powerful and complementary platforms.CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG contributes a tokenized carbon utility framework structured around verifiability, traceability, and retirement mechanics. Built within Liechtenstein’s Blockchain Act framework and deployed on Ethereum Mainnet, CUT’s model emphasizes measurable CO₂ reduction linkage and immutable audit trails across issuance, transfer, and retirement. As regulators, institutions, and global enterprises demand higher standards of disclosure and impact validation, programmable carbon infrastructure becomes foundational to next-generation capital markets.Paul Thomson, Co-Founder of CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG, commented:“Tokenized commodities are moving from intention to instrumentation. For tokenized carbon credits, what matters now is verifiability—traceable assets, defensible controls, and retirement mechanics that stand up to real scrutiny. By integrating into The Tomorrow Company’s broader infrastructure platform, we believe we can accelerate adoption and bring institutional-grade carbon instrumentation to global markets.”Complementing this climate utility layer is Plato Technologies Inc., which brings an AI-driven intelligence engine purpose-built to convert fragmented global data into deployable, decision-ready workflows.

Unisound U1-OCR: The First Industrial-Grade Document Intelligence Foundation Model, Ushering in the OCR 3.0 Era ACN Newswire

Unisound U1-OCR: The First Industrial-Grade Document Intelligence Foundation Model, Ushering in the OCR 3.0 Era

BEIJING, Feb 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Feb 26, Unisound has officially launched its Unisound U1-OCR, the world's first industrial-grade foundation model for document intelligence, a groundbreaking release that ushers in the OCR 3.0 era and sets a new industry standard with five core strengths: SOTA performance, verifiable results, out-of-the-box functionality, efficient deployment, and robust adaptability.Document intelligence leverages AI to automatically read, understand, classify digitized documents and extract key information. OCR 1.0 only enabled basic text recognition, while OCR 2.0 added preliminary layout understanding capabilities. U1-OCR takes a quantum leap to OCR 3.0, moving far beyond layout recognition to deliver deep semantic insight, automatic document classification and business-level information extraction—marking a transformative shift from "character perception" to "document cognition".As a SOTA-level document intelligence model, U1-OCR resolves the longstanding bottleneck of traditional models that "recognize text but fail to grasp layout", enabling it to interpret complex documents like human experts. It pioneers a "semantic-driven + dynamic focus" strategy, first mapping a document's hierarchical structure of headings and structural metadata before extracting content on demand, and builds a semantic map to identify the relationship between titles, charts and text—even in disorganized layouts. Its enhanced spatial alignment module leverages positional data to accurately restore document structure for dense tables and mixed text-image content, effectively mitigating spatial recognition errors. Equipped with Multi-Token Prediction technology and full-task reinforcement learning, it boosts reasoning efficiency by over 80%, ensuring logical coherence for long documents.Trained with multi-task collaborative reinforcement learning and optimized for both semantics and coordinates, U1-OCR suppresses spatial hallucinations for reliable outputs, and achieves SOTA results across major authoritative benchmarks: scoring 95.1 in OmniDocBench V1.5, outperforming leading models like GLM-OCR and Gemini-3-Pro; hitting an F1 score of 90.8 in D4LA and 95.9 in DocLayNet, excelling in table recognition and cross-page association; and outperforming models such as Gemini-2.5-Flash and Qwen-2.5-VL in internal business tests, with standout performance in medical document processing such as admission and discharge records.Figure: Comparison of Unisound U1-OCR Evaluation Scores on OmniDocBench V1.5Built for real-world industrial applications, U1-OCR features four key capabilities that bridge the gap between document understanding and business action. Its proprietary "coordinate-text-semantics" architecture enables pixel-level positioning and full evidence traceability, making audit processes transparent and efficient. Integrated with Unisound's industry expertise in healthcare and finance, it achieves over 99% classification accuracy for more than 50 common business documents, supporting cross-field logical verification with zero-shot capabilities. It supports private on-premise and offline deployment while delivering highly efficient document processing, meeting strict data privacy requirements for government, healthcare, and finance sectors while lowering hardware costs. Most notably, it delivers stable, high-precision performance in extreme scenarios—including non-standard photos, blurred documents, complex formatting and multilingual text—freeing businesses from reliance on standardized document formats.Validated in real-world use cases, U1-OCR enables visual traceability of extracted information, automatic classification of mixed documents, performing intelligent image purification for cluttered layouts, and accurate recognition of complex nested tables with full structural retention.The launch of U1-OCR marks AI's evolution from simple text recognition to business logic comprehension, a key step for Unisound toward AGI. By taking multimodal documents as a knowledge entry point, Unisound is empowering machines with autonomous reasoning and evidence traceability capabilities, driving AI from perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence—with the vision to build a general intelligent agent that reads, thinks and solves complex problems like humans, turning every document into a stepping stone to AGI.CONTACT: june@intelligentjoy.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
