Doubleview Gold Corp 2025 Exploration Program

Vancouver, BC, Apr 2, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV:DBG)(OTCQB:DBLVF)(FSE:1D4) (the "Company" or "Doubleview") is pleased to share its plans for the upcoming 2025 exploration season for its 100% owned BC projects. Based on the Company's successful 2024 exploration season, which included publishing the Hat Project's maiden resource estimate (‘MRE V1'), exceptional high-grade drill results from its 10,000m drill program (please see the Company's news release from February 05, 2025) and the recently announced collaboration of the Company with Her Excellency Sheikha Sara Nasser Al-Thani of Qmission of Qatar (please see the Company's news release from March 05, 2025), Doubleview is readying its field crews for the upcoming field season.Hat Project - 2025 Program of WorkDoubleview is setting out to continue building on its exploration success at its polymetallic Hat Project. The 2024 drill results have provided important information which is supporting the Company's geological team in understanding the evolution of, and ultimately the entire Hat Deposit ("Hat" or "Deposit") system. The goals of the upcoming drill season are to continue to expand and build the resource to higher levels of confidence, to test newly identified targets to the northwest and east of the Deposit, and to find the source of the system that created the Hat Deposit.Details for the environmental sampling program are currently being finalized. Doubleview's intensions are to implement this work to fulfill regulatory requirements necessary towards further development of the Hat Project. The Preliminary Economic Assessment ("HAT PEA") with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("HAT MRE 2.0") is steadily progressing as expected.President & CEO Farshad Shirvani states: "After achieving several milestones for the Hat Project, it is time to continue its development. Our field crew, technical team and I are excited about the newly acquired information which will guide this year's efforts. Our goals are to find the porphyry system's source, to further advance the integrity of the resource estimate categories, to continue advancing environmental work and building stakeholder relationships. There are less than 90 drill holes at the Hat Project, and we have been able to show tremendous results. At the same time, it is very clear that there are many more opportunities to enhance the Hat Deposit that our team is eager to explore." Mr. Shirvani added: "The Company is continuing its dialogue with Her Excellency Sara Nasser Al-Thani of Qmission of Qatar to build a strong relationship to explore optimal opportunities for both sides. With the worldwide growing attention on critical minerals, by governments and major mining companies alike, we believe that the Company is a great position."Red Spring - 2025 Exploration ProgramPart of Doubleview's portfolio of projects is Red Spring, which is located in central BC, Canada. It is a copper-silver-gold project which in recent exploration programs showed elevated zinc values. With copper and zinc being elements that are listed as Critical Minerals by the Canadian Government, the Red Spring project merits a well-tailored exploration program. For this season an extensive ground IP program is planned which will be followed-up by drilling based on the IP results. The goal of the exploration program is to build on existing data and together with the new results, narrow down the potential deposit type. Currently the two potential deposit types in focus for the project are sediment hosted copper-silver deposits and Eskay Creek type deposits.Doubleview maintains a website at www.doubleview.ca.Qualified Persons:Erik Ostensoe, P.

香港, 2025年4月2日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2024年,我國能源轉型"綠"潮湧動,道寬且長的"雙碳"賽道湧現出更多的新業態、新動能:人工智慧等新質生產力激發雙碳產業新活力;長期主義和耐心資本正創造新的確定性;多層次的REITs市場打開了更多元的退出管道;更多雙碳產業者積極佈局海外打造新增長點。在雙碳戰略的助推下,京能國際(00686.HK)交出了一份高質量的答卷,成為京能集團內首個資產過千億平臺,綜合實力邁上新臺階。2024年,京能國際實現營業收入70.11億元(人民幣,下同),同比增加25.91%;淨利潤達5.57億元,同比增長18%。同時,公司總資產達到1024.69億元,較年初增長13.8%;總裝機量實現13501兆瓦,較年初增長47.5%,提前完成"雙千"目標。2020年是"碳達峰、碳中和"戰略的宣佈之年,也是京能國際推動重組的一年。重組後的五年間,京能國際保持戰略定力,業務版圖不斷擴大,資產規模、營收利潤等核心指標持續增長,走出了一條持續向上的成長曲線,成為雙碳戰略實施的一個生動注腳。堅持戰略引領,業績穩健增長2020年重組後,京能國際聚焦新能源產業,制定了"雙環線、一中心、一聚焦"的發展戰略,不斷豐富清潔能源產業戰略佈局,並逐步形成了"風光、水電、綜合能源、燃機、綠氫"五大板塊協同發展新格局,走出了一條差異化的創新之路。橫向看,在新能源市場佈局上,"雙環線"由北環線基地專案及南環線高收益專案構成,已有多個專案取得突破性進展。比如,2024年公司首個風電大基地專案"通遼2.38吉瓦基地專案"歷時一年實現全容量並網;"一中心"指以首都為中心拓展綜合能源市場,已實現公共建築、科研場所等場景全覆蓋;"一聚焦"則是聚焦海外發展戰略,出海開拓更大發展空間。數據顯示,截至2024年底,京能國際已在澳洲市場成功落地5個專案,裝機容量達到945MW,已成為澳洲本土清潔能源領域裝機最大的中資企業。在國內,京能國際主要分佈於內蒙、華北、西北等資源豐富地區,以及華南、華東、華中等經濟發達及用電需求旺盛地區,保證了專案收益穩定性和持續性。在國外,隨著澳洲市場的順利開拓,京能國際出海的第二增長曲線初具雛形。縱向看,在新能源業態佈局上,京能國際已形成多元化的新能源業態佈局,為穩健增長打下重要基礎。更為重要的是,京能國際的新能源業態覆蓋了從相對成熟的風光、水電,到快速發展中的燃機和綜合能源,再到新興的氫能和智算業務,構建起持續釋放增長動能的業態佈局。報告期內,京能國際共擁有166個太陽能發電站、38個風力發電站和26個水力發電站及3個儲能電站,並經聯營公司持有3個太陽能發電站、3個風力發電站和2個水力發電站。目前,京能國際水電業務貢獻良好利潤,燃機業務也穩步形成新的穩定盈利點。而更長期看,綜合能源業務將迎來發展機遇,而處於培育期的綠氫業務有望成為未來新增長極。實際上,京能國際業務已連續五年保持增長,裝機規模從不到200萬千瓦增加到超過1300萬千瓦。業績持續增長背後源自京能國際精准、前瞻的戰略,市場佈局以及業態佈局縱橫交織,編織成一張高質量發展的新能源業務網,支撐起未來增長的持續性和確定性。融入雙碳戰略,實現高質量發展從2020年提出"雙碳"戰略目標以來,"雙碳"的影響,已經從頂層政策的指導檔,傳導至能源、材料、製造等產業,滲透至人們生活、工作方方面面之中。當前,新一輪科技革命和產業變革加速重構全球能源版圖,大力發展新能源成為我國加快能源轉型升級、培育經濟新增長點的重要戰略選擇。綠色產業將成為我國今後的經濟發展的重要引擎之一。2024年發佈的《關於加快經濟社會發展全面綠色轉型的意見》,提出了推動經濟社會的全方位、全領域、全地域的綠色轉型,預計2030年節能環保產業規模將達到15萬億元,年複合增長率有望達10%左右。處在雙碳賽道上的京能國際憑藉領先的戰略佈局,持續收穫海內外資本市場和監管機構的肯定。2024年,京能國際取得惠譽國際評級"A"級、標普國際信用評級"BBB+"級、聯合資信境內信用評級"AAA"級;在可持續發展層面,獲得惠譽常青授予的評級為"2",主體得分為"78"的環境、社會及管治(ESG)評級。在境內外專業機構的認可下,京能國際持續優化資本結構,降低資金成本。此外,2024年,京能國際繼成功上市國內首單光伏公募 REITs之後又發佈首單REIs擴募公告,進一步打開了專案融資和退出的通路。2025年是"十四五"的收官之年,也是"十五五"藍圖繪製之年。未來五年也是"雙碳"戰略衝刺碳達峰目標的關鍵五年,新能源產業將迎來發展歷史性機遇。值得強調的是,京能國際積極佈局,儲備了數量充足的專案。同時,公司儲備專案主要為大型清潔能源基地專案及區域集群化專案,在未來一段時間內陸續落地,將驅動未來增長投資的本質就是尋找確定性,而最大的確定性來自時代機遇。一滴水只有融入大海才能永不乾涸,企業只有將自身發展與國家發展大局緊密相連才能基業長青。在建設中國式現代化的新征程中,京能國際堅持戰略引領,讓企業戰略與國家戰略同頻共振,在融入經濟社會高質量發展進程中創造了自身發展的最大的確定性。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Fosun’s Stable Fundamentals Support its Clear Growth Path

HONG KONG, Apr 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fosun International (HKEX: 0656), which is committed to advancing its core business-focused and business streamlining strategy, announced its 2024 annual results on 30 March.According to the results announcement, in 2024, Fosun International’s total revenue reached RMB192.14 billion, representing a slight decrease of 3.1% from 2023. Its four core subsidiaries – Yuyuan, Fosun Pharma, Fosun Insurance Portugal, and Fosun Tourism Group (“FTG”) – generated a total revenue of RMB134.65 billion, accounting for 70.1% of the Group’s total revenue. Due to a one-off book loss related to an individual investment during the reporting period, the Group’s loss attributable to owners of the parent for the year amounted to RMB4.35 billion.“In the past year, we sustained steady growth momentum and demonstrated robust resilience in the face of global economic fluctuations and market challenges. We continuously advanced our core business-focused and business streamlining strategy by divesting non-core assets and heavy assets to focus on core operations, reduce debt, and optimize our capital structure. In the course of asset divestment, the adjustment in the carrying value of an individual investment impacted our 2024 financial performance. Nonetheless, Fosun’s overall operational fundamentals remain stable, the core businesses are under healthy development, and the industrial operation profits and operating cash flows stay healthy and stable,” Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, stated in the letter to shareholders.CITIC Securities released a research report based on Fosun International’s 2024 annual results on 30 March, stating that the company’s industrial operations remain stable, while the loss is mainly attributable to the one-off impairment from its investment. In fact, excluding the one-off non-cash impairment loss, Fosun International’s profit attributable to owners of the parent for 2024 amounted to RMB750 million, and the industrial operation profit, which reflects Fosun’s fundamentals and growth potential, reached RMB4.9 billion.Additionally, Fosun’s financial position remained sound. As at the end of 2024, the total debt to total capital ratio was 52%, and cash and bank balance and term deposits amounted to RMB106.34 billion, representing an increase of approximately RMB13.88 billion from the previous year. Healthy debt ratios and strong liquidity buffer not only strengthen the company’s resilience against risks but also enhance its ability to seize development opportunities.“We believe that our clear strategic focus and robust industrial operational capabilities are the key to driving Fosun’s long-term steady growth,” Guo Guangchang said.Pursuing “strategic advancements and exits”, further deepening focus on core industriesSince last year, Guo Guangchang has summarized Fosun’s current strategy as “strategic advancements and exits” on multiple occasions. He noted that in the past few years, Fosun has mainly prioritized “exit” to streamline its business. However, starting in 2024, it has placed greater emphasis on “strategic advancements and exits”. By pursuing “advancements” in core operations, it has leveraged development to address challenges.The results announcement indicated that from 2022 to 2024, Fosun completed the divestment of approximately RMB75.0 billion of non-strategic and non-core assets. In 2024, the signed asset divestment amounted to approximately RMB17.5 billion equivalent at the group level, and approximately RMB30.0 billion equivalent at the consolidated level.Fosun’s steadfast commitment to divesting non-strategic and non-core assets has not only strengthened its liquidity buffer, but also provided robust support for accelerating its focus on core industries, including health, tourism and culture, consumption, and insurance.In 2024, Fosun continuously pursued advancements in core businesses. In the health business, Fosun Pharma increased its stake in Fosun Kairos to 100%, further focusing on the research and development (“R&D”), manufacturing and commercialization of CAR-T cell therapy. In the tourism and culture business, the ULTRAMED Hainan project in Sanya was officially launched. FTG also signed an asset-light operation agreement for the Jinsha Bay project in Shenzhen, marking the launch of the first Club Med in the Greater Bay Area. In addition, the Taicang Alps Resort Phase II project is about to commence, it is developed by Taicang municipal government platform and managed by FTG. In March 2025, FTG successfully completed its privatization, providing the company with greater flexibility and efficiency in accelerating its asset-light transformation.According to the 2024 financial results, the four core subsidiaries, which contributed more than 70% of Fosun’s total revenue, delivered solid performance. Among which, Fosun Pharma achieved operating revenue of RMB41.07 billion and net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB2.77 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.08%; Fosun Insurance Portugal’s total gross written premiums reached EUR6.17 billion and net profit reached EUR173.5 million; FTG achieved sustained profitability, with Club Med’s business turnover reaching a record high of RMB16.15 billion, while Atlantis Sanya’s business turnover remained at a high level; despite the impact of structural adjustments in the domestic consumption patterns, Yuyuan lowered its asset-liability ratio to 67.82% through active adjustment. The company also boasted ample cash on hand of RMB10.69 billion, positioning it for future growth.It is worth noting that after years of accumulation and cultivation, Fosun’s two domestic insurance companies have ushered in a period of rapid development. The total premium income of Pramerica Fosun Life Insurance surged from RMB4,346 million in 2023 to RMB9,251 million in 2024, while Fosun United Health Insurance also experienced steady growth in premium income, and both companies achieved profitability. In 2024, the profit attributable to owners of the parent of the insurance segment was RMB1.716 billion, representing a significant increase of 117% year-on-year.“We have integrated Fosun’s profound industry expertise, extensive investment experience, and high-quality commercial resources with the operations and investments of insurance companies, forming a three-dimensional “insurance + industry + investment” flywheel-driven strategy.” Guo Guangchang believes that the collaborative growth of Fosun’s domestic and international insurance companies and various industries has laid a strong foundation for Fosun’s flywheel-driven strategy.Unlocking value through core capabilities in “globalization + innovation”Thanks to its two core capabilities in globalization and innovation, Fosun has steadily developed its core businesses while pursuing strategic advancements and exits.In 2024, Fosun continued to deepen its business presence in more than 35 countries and region in the world, consolidating its global operational capabilities. Building on a high base from the previous year, its overseas revenue for 2024 grew 6.2% year-on-year to RMB94.78 billion, and the proportion of overseas revenue further rose to 49.3%.It is believed that amid the rising de-globalization trend, Fosun’s globalization capabilities are becoming increasingly scarce, and its high-quality global operations are emerging as a powerful engine for new round of growth.In 2024, Fosun’s innovative biopharmaceutical platform, Henlius, became a key player in the overseas expansion of Chinese innovative drugs. During the reporting period, Henlius’ overseas product sales revenue surged 30.76% compared to the previous year. HANSIZHUANG, the world’s first anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for the first-line treatment of small cell lung cancer, independently developed by the company, was approved for marketing in the European Union, extending its reach to more than 30 countries and regions; HANQUYOU was approved for marketing in the U.S. and Canada, embarking on a new journey of commercialization in North America; HANLIKANG, the first biosimilar approved in China, was approved for marketing in several countries in Latin America including Peru; HANBEITAI was approved for marketing in Bolivia. Henlius now has four self-developed and self-manufactured products approved for overseas marketing. Benefiting from the ongoing market expansion of key products, Henlius achieved operating revenue of approximately RMB5.72 billion and net profit of RMB820.5 million in 2024, representing a substantial increase of 50.3% year-on-year.Leveraging Fosun’s global ecosystem, Hainan Mining has accelerated its global resource strategy, successfully acquiring one overseas project each year for the past three years. During the reporting period, Hainan Mining completed the acquisition of oil interests in four oil blocks in the Sultanate of Oman and initiated the acquisition of two producing zirconium-titanium mines in Mozambique, planning to further increase its investment in Africa while entering the promising small metals and rare-earth industries. In addition, as at March 2025, the first phase construction of the project Bougouni lithium mine in Mali Africa had met the conditions for continuous and stable production. In 2024, Hainan Mining’s overseas subsidiaries achieved revenue of RMB1,968 million, accounting for 48% to the total revenue. Driven by the globalization strategy, the company reported a net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB706 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.97%, and a net profit excluding non-recurring gains and losses of RMB680 million, representing a significant increase of 23.72% year-on-year.Among overseas member companies, Fosun Insurance Portugal has continued to consolidate its leading position in the local market while fully leveraging Fosun’s “global organization + local operations” capabilities, achieving double-digit growth in international business. In 2024, its overseas revenue reached EUR1.84 billion and the proportion of international business rose to 29.8%.Following the successful overseas debut of Fosun’s iconic cultural IP, the Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival, in Paris, France from late 2023 to early 2024, it has embarked on another overseas journey in 2025. In January 2025, the Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival themed lantern installation made a stunning appearance in Hanoi, Vietnam, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam. This year, it will also be featured in Thailand, continuing to showcase the charm of oriental culture globally.In Guo Guangchang’s view, innovation and globalization are complementary and are the most important pillars of Fosun. In 2024, Fosun’s investment in technology innovation reached approximately RMB6.9 billion. At present, it has established more than 20 global technology innovation centers covering various industries and fields, continuously fostering the launch of new technologies and products.In terms of R&D of innovative drugs, a total of 16 indications of 7 innovative drugs/ biosimilars independently developed and licensed-in by Fosun Pharma were approved for launch. In terms of medical devices and medical diagnosis, the Ion Robotic Bronchoscopy (“Ion System”) of Intuitive Fosun, and F-i6000 Automated Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer, F-C2000 Fully Automated High-Speed Chemiluminescence Analyzer, and Cytokine Detection Reagent (Chemiluminescence Method), which were independently developed by Fosun Pharma, were all approved for launch in Chinese mainland. During the reporting period, the pharmaceutical manufacturing segment of Fosun Pharma submitted 220 patent applications, including 3 American patent applications, 18 PCT applications, and Fosun Pharma has obtained 66 licensed invention patents authorization.Facing the burgeoning AI trend, Fosun has accelerated its development around its core businesses, deeply integrating AI technology into its diverse scenarios to drive innovation and enhance efficiency. For instance, Fosun Pharma launched the PharmAID decision intelligence platform, which supports accurate and efficient decision-making to accelerate and improve drug R&D; Sisram is exploring the use of AI for precise skin analysis and personalized skin care solutions; the ULTRAMED Hainan project in Sanya is set to create the world’s first AI-themed resort by utilizing AIGC technology for guest room customization and introducing the digital human G.O (Gentle Organizer) service to enhance tourist experience.“Looking ahead, we will further deepen our focus on core industries. By leveraging our globalization and innovation capabilities, we are confident in our ability to maintain steady development, creating long-term, stable value for our shareholders,” Guo Guangchang said.
