LONDON, Jan 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Capital Margin Trade, a leading online brokerage firm, recently announced the launch of tools designed specifically for structured market execution, placing practicality ahead of feature volume. The initiative reflects a broader effort to refine how traders interact with the platform on a daily basis, particularly in environments where clarity, timing, and execution discipline tend to outweigh visual appeal or experimental features.The Capital Margin Trade trading platform is built around a straightforward premise. Trading tools should work together smoothly and remain accessible under real market conditions. Market access, charting, and order management are combined within a single interface, reducing the need to switch between sections during active trading. Over time, this type of structure often proves more valuable than frequent interface changes that require constant readjustment.Charting has been one of the more fully formed components of the platform. With multiple chart time frames, layered indicators, and customizable chart layouts, users have an opportunity to evaluate price action without extraneous distractions. The tools continue to remain stable even in times of increased volatility, which is often when stability can become a major issue. While the platform does not aim to replicate institutional-grade software, it offers sufficient analytical depth to support structured technical analysis and routine market monitoring.Execution tools on the Capital Margin Trade broker platform follow a similar logic. Orders can be placed and managed without interrupting the broader workflow, allowing traders to stay focused on market movement rather than interface navigation. Real-time price feeds across supported instruments provide continuous visibility, helping users react as conditions change. Execution speed, as with any platform, remains dependent on market conditions, though overall performance is generally consistent during standard trading hours.Risk management features are integrated directly into the trading process. Users can input a stop-loss and/or take-profit level at the time they enter a trade, or adjust those levels once their trades are active. This provides users with the opportunity to make decisions based upon their own risk assessment without forcing the use of pre-defined automated strategy templates. While some traders may look for deeper automation, others may value the ability to remain closely involved in managing exposure.Beyond execution and charting, the Capital Margin Trade trading platform includes a market overview section that offers context without constant interruptions. Instead of relying on frequent alerts, traders can access summarized information when needed. This quieter approach supports independent analysis and may suit users who prefer to interpret data rather than respond to prompts.Accessibility across devices remains consistent. The Capital Margin Trade broker infrastructure is web-based, allowing traders to access accounts from desktops, laptops, tablets, or smartphones without additional downloads. While mobile trading naturally limits screen space, essential functions such as monitoring positions and placing orders remain available, which can be useful for traders managing positions away from their primary setups.In terms of the way the user interacts with the platform, there are multiple layers of operational complexity. The account settings, margin controls, and view of all open positions are clearly defined and separate from each other, allowing for greater ease of managing exposure to risk without having to navigate through layers of menu options. During active market phases, this clarity can help reduce operational friction. Traders seeking highly customized algorithmic environments may find the setup more manual, though this appears intentional for users who prefer hands-on control.Funding and withdrawal processes follow established industry standards. The platform supports commonly used payment methods and prioritizes reliability over experimentation. While options may seem limited for users seeking alternative payment solutions, transaction procedures remain clear and supported by standard verification processes.Security is treated as a baseline requirement rather than a headline feature. Capital Margin Trade trading platform operations include user verification protocols and encrypted data handling designed to protect account access and transactional information without adding unnecessary complexity to daily use.Overall, the ongoing development of Capital Margin Trade broker services suggests a measured, methodical approach. The emphasis has shifted from seeking rapid expansion and numerous new features every few weeks to maintaining a consistent and reliable trading environment. The steady, long-term nature of this strategy could be attractive to those who have become accustomed to using a platform that they feel comfortable with over time, as opposed to having to adjust to rapidly changing tool behavior and workflow changes at short notice. In addition, for traders who place high value on stability, consistency, and predictability in their trading activities (i.e., those who are able to derive long-term benefits from the familiarity of a consistent trading environment), this long-term approach will likely lead to a more productive long-term trading experience than one based on continuous upgrades.About Capital Margin TradeCapital Margin Trade is an online brokerage firm that provides web-based access to global financial markets, utilizing a web-based trading platform.

(CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has exercised its buyback right to retire the 1% net smelter royalty ("NSR") that applied to its Slovakian portfolio.

All three projects are now royalty free thus strengthening the strategic value of the portfolio.Scott Eldridge, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "We are very pleased to have completed the buyback of the NSR royalty on our Slovakian assets, including our flagship Trojarova Antimony Gold Project. This strategic acquisition eliminates future royalty obligations and is intended to provide Military Metals greater financial flexibility as we advance these properties. With our initial drill results from Trojarova now in hand and a Mineral Resource Estimate expected to be completed later this quarter, we believe this was an opportune time to consolidate our ownership position. We look forward to continuing our exploration programs and updating shareholders as we work towards defining the full potential of this exciting project."The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary has exercised the NSR buyback pursuant to the terms of a share purchase agreement previously entered into by such subsidiary. Management and the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the completion of the NSR buyback and the resulting termination of the 1% NSR is beneficial to the Company's shareholders and the economics of the Company's applicable projects. The NSR buyback consideration is a one-time cash payment in the amount of CAD$162,800 (the "Cash Consideration"). There are no further royalties on any of the Company's mineral projects in Slovakia.For more information about Military Metals Corp. and its critical minerals initiatives, please visit: https://www.militarymetalscorp.com.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/military-metals/ X: https://x.com/militarymetalsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564717587797About Military Metals Corp.The Company is a British Columbia-based mineral exploration company that is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties with a focus on antimony.ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD of DIRECTORS,For more information, please contact:Scott EldridgeCEO and Directorscott@militarymetalscorp.com or info@militarymetalscorp.comFor enquiries, please call 604-537-7556Forward-Looking InformationThis news release contains "forward-looking information".

Shifting interest-rate cycles, tighter capital conditions and heightened regulatory scrutiny are reshaping how and where companies raise capital. At the same time, supply chains in critical minerals, energy, technology and advanced manufacturing are being re-evaluated, creating new demands for scale, transparency and long-term institutional support.For Asia-Pacific corporates, these dynamics are driving a reassessment of capital strategy. Domestic markets remain important, but increasingly, companies are exploring international capital options to support growth, liquidity events, cross-border acquisitions and strategic partnerships. The U.S. capital markets, with their depth, institutional reach and sector specialisation, continue to play a central role in that global ecosystem.Capital optionality becomes a strategic advantage for APAC corporatesFor companies operating across the Asia-Pacific region, engagement with international capital markets is rarely a binary decision. Geopolitical complexity, regulatory considerations and investor perception all influence how boards and management teams approach global expansion and funding strategies.In this environment, optionality matters. Understanding how different capital structures work, how timing and jurisdictional considerations affect outcomes, and how investor expectations vary across markets enables corporates to prepare strategically, even if execution occurs later or through alternative pathways.Hall Chadwick’s Singapore Forum is designed to provide insight and perspective, enabling corporates to assess structures, partnerships and timing without presupposing outcomes or commitments.From strategy to execution: a forum designed for decision-makersUnlike large public conferences, Hall Chadwick’s Capital Access Forum 2026 is intentionally limited in size and highly curated. Each participating corporate will receive one to two private, pre-arranged meetings with financiers, sponsors and advisers aligned to their sector and strategic objectives.The agenda is built around execution-level discussion, covering:- SPAC and IPO pathways in current market conditions- Cross-border M&A and strategic partnerships- Regulatory frameworks and listing considerations- Institutional investor expectations and capital deployment trends- Sector-specific dynamics across critical minerals, AI, technology, energy and infrastructureThe emphasis is on practical insight: what works, what does not, and how successful transactions are being structured in today’s market.Perspectives from global capital market leadersA key highlight of the forum is the keynote address by Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization. With extensive experience in large-scale real estate, corporate development and international expansion, he brings a commercial perspective on navigating market cycles, unlocking growth opportunities and engaging global capital platforms.The program will also feature senior leadership from NASDAQ, offering insight into U.S. public markets, listing considerations and sector trends, alongside institutional investors and global funds actively deploying capital.Convening at the intersection of capital, strategy and executionHall Chadwick’s decision to convene the Singapore Forum reflects its evolution into a global corporate advisory platform operating at the intersection of capital, strategy and execution.Founded more than 138 years ago as a chartered accounting firm, Hall Chadwick has expanded well beyond its traditional accounting heritage to integrate global capital markets expertise. Today, the firm advises corporates on complex cross-border transactions, U.S. public listings and SPAC structures, working alongside specialist partners to deliver end-to-end outcomes.The forum provides a live demonstration of this model in practice, including insights drawn from Hall Chadwick’s recent HCAC transaction, which delivered a four-times return and culminated in a NASDAQ bell-ringing ceremony.Reflecting the Forum’s focus on global capital connectivity and institutional engagement, Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization and the Forum’s keynote speaker, said: “I look forward to joining top industry leaders, financiers, strategic partners, and market specialists in Singapore this spring.”Kayla Hardy, Partner of Hall Chadwick (Hong Kong), said: “Global capital markets are becoming more complex, more selective and more interconnected. This forum is about giving corporate leaders clarity; not just on the opportunities, but on the structures, timing and execution required to access them responsibly. Singapore provides a neutral platform for those conversations, and we are pleased to bring together market leaders to share practical insight drawn from real transactions.”Who the forum is designed forThe forum is designed for senior decision-makers, including:- CEOs, CFOs and corporate development leaders- Corporate executives across mining, resources, energy, technology, infrastructure and manufacturing- Investment firms, funds, family offices and financial services executives- Companies exploring international capital markets, strategic partnerships or liquidity eventsAttendance is by invitation only, with participation capped to ensure meaningful engagement.For companies not initially included on the invitation list, a limited opportunity is available to submit an expression of interest for consideration, subject to review and availability.

HONG KONG, January 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On January 8, Shanghai Iluvatar CoreX Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (“Iluvatar CoreX”, stock code: 9903.HK), the highly anticipated Chinese GPGPU chip design company, officially commenced trading on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The stock surged over 31.54% at the opening bell, propelling its market capitalization past the HK$ 48.37 billion threshold.The impressive first-day performance not only validated the market's strong expectations for the substitution of domestic computing power but also highlighted the robust investment value of Iluvatar CoreX, serving as the “computing power chip backbone” for domestic large models. As a scarce GPGPU stock in Hong Kong's equity market, Iluvatar CoreX has emerged as the most definitive core investee amid the AI investment boom by virtue of its lucid business logic and solid commercialization achievements, offering an optimal timing window for investors to position themselves within the domestic high-end computing power sector.Full-stack technological upgrades solidify the computing power foundation for domestic large modelsAt the pivotal juncture where AI large models transition from technical validation to scaled deployment, the technical maturity and consistency of supply of GPGPU directly determine the pace and penetration of industrial implementation. Through its fully-stack self-developed technology path and continuously evolving GPGPU architecture, Iluvatar CoreX has emerged as the most dependable “computing power chip backbone” for domestic large models, breaking the monopoly held by international giants in the high-end computing power sector.As the China’s first company to achieve mass production of GPGPU chips for both training and inference, Iluvatar CoreX has established a product ecosystem spanning the entire lifecycle of large models: the “TG” series training chips prioritizes massive data processing and model training, addressing the high-intensity computing demands of large-scale parameter models; while the “ZK” series inference chips are optimized for deployment scenarios and address inference-specific requirements such as low latency, high throughput, and optimal power efficiency, delivering excellent performance-to-cost ratio for large language model inference tasks. Crucially, adhering to the "hardware-software integration” philosophy, Iluvatar CoreX has independently developed a software stack that ensures full compatibility with mainstream GPGPU programming ecosystem and platform, thereby significantly reducing customer migration costs.Through three generations of GPGPU architectural iterations and progressive software stack enhancement, Iluvatar CoreX has achieved steady advancement in computing performance, ecosystem compatibility, and adaptability across diverse application scenarios, positioning itself as a genuine technology-driven enterprise rather than a “concept company” reliant on policy incentives. As domestic large models transition from technical validation to in-depth industry integration and scaled deployment, the demand for a high-performance, cost-effective, and consistently supplied domestic computing backbone is poised for explosive growth. Leveraging its first-mover advantage in mass production, proven product reliability through bulk deployment, and extensive hardware/software ecosystem compatibility, Iluvatar CoreX has become a serious option for numerous technology giants and industry leaders pursuing computing autonomy.With a lucid business logic, Iluvatar CoreX stands as the most robust AI computing chip enterpriseAmidst the AI chip industry’s prevailing challenges of “splashing the cash with narrow profitability”, Iluvatar CoreX has charted a healthy trajectory of “technology implementation - scaled monetization - sustained growth” by virtue of its lucid business logic, establishing itself as the computing chip enterprise with the most solid capabilities for sustainable development in China.Unlike business models that rely heavily on government subsidies, research projects, or single demonstration orders, Iluvatar CoreX rapidly penetrated the market by leveraging its products’ advantages of enhanced efficiency, strong adaptability and high portability, with its customer base directly anchored to the most authentic and sustainable demand sources within the AI industry: cloud service providers, large data centers, and leading government and enterprise clients. The core procurement logic for these clients is acquiring continuous, stable, and scalable computing to support their massive AI training and inference operations. This generates predictable bulk orders and sustained repurchase potential for Iluvatar CoreX, aligning its revenue characteristics with rigid infrastructure investments, which forms a sustainable business model closely aligned with “directly delivering computing value”. From an investment perspective, Iluvatar CoreX’s business trajectory offers greater clarity and stronger cash flow visibility.Meanwhile, Iluvatar CoreX maintains an efficient and controlled pace in its R&D investments. Based on publicly available financial data, the “R&D expense/revenue” ratio of Iluvatar CoreX ranges between approximately 80% and 120%, representing the lowest level among comparable peers. This healthy return on investment ensures continuous technological iteration while avoiding operational pressures from reckless spending, which effectively reduces the risk of the Company being forced into strategic compromises or marginalized due to the pressure on the capital chain. Market analysis widely recognizes Iluvatar CoreX as the most likely enterprise to maintain its independent leadership position in long-term competition through its self-sustaining capabilities and technological accumulation.Performance continues to improve with promising growth prospectsSolid business logic brings impressive performance.
