Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 4, 2026) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") is pleased to report the additional analytical results of the Company's definition drilling campaign at the 100% owned flagship Trojárová Antimony-Gold Project (the "Project") in Slovakia as announced on November 4, 2025. The 2025 drilling campaign was designed to confirm historical drilling results and to support SLR Consulting's work towards establishing a current mineral resource estimate on the Project, which the company anticipates delivery of by the end of Q1, 2026, further discussed in the Company's January 9, 2025 announcement.These priority assay results represent the main mineralized zone from the third hole of the program, 25-TVA-003.Highlights of the Results from hole 25-TVA-003 Include:23.5 drilled (m) of 3.3 g/t Gold over a true width of 20.2m from 148.9m to 172.4mIncluding: 4.0m of 10.52 g/t Au over a true width of 3.4m from 157.9m to 161.9m1.9m of 2.53% Antimony over a true width of 1.6m from 169.9m to 171.8mScott Eldridge, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "We are thrilled with the second tranche of assays as we continue to see antimony grades that are consistent with historical results and higher than anticipated gold grades within the Trojárová Deposit. These strong gold results present the Company with new exploration opportunities that we are excited to evaluate. Trojárová represents the only antimony deposit in the European Union being advanced by modern mineral exploration and demonstrates characteristics that place it among the leading antimony projects globally. At a time when the need for secure, domestically sourced critical minerals is more pressing than ever, these results strengthen the project's potential importance to, and alignment with, the EU's objective of building a dependable, home-grown supply of essential raw materials."The Company additionally announces that logging and sampling of all drill core from the program is complete and all samples have successfully been delivered to ALS Laboratories in Roșia Montană, Romania for analysis. Additional results for all holes are pending.Table 1. Complete table of analytical results discussed in this release.

Sampled intervals were identified by logging geologists and assigned a unique sample identification number. Samples were split in two halves using a diamond bladed saw with one half remaining in the core box as a permanent record and the half placed in a plastic sample bag, both marked with a waterproof tag bearing the unique sample number which was also written on the sample bag in permanent marker. Samples were transported from the Company's secure facility by private courier to ALS Laboratories in Romania for geochemical analysis. ALS Laboratories is an independent ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 certified commercial laboratory with no relationship to the Company. The samples were analyzed using multi-element package ME_ICP41a and for gold using fire assay package Au-AA25. ME_ICP41a is an ore grade package involving digestion of a 0.4g sample by aqua regia with an Inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) finish. The Au-AA25 fire assay method is an ore grade analysis using a 30g aliquot. The aliquot is mixed with flux composed of PbO and SiO2 with variable amounts of borax, soda ash and other reagents. The flux and sample are mixed, then heated at high temperature (>1,000°C) to decompose rock lattices and allow gold within the sample to be collected into a lead button. The button is placed in a porous cupel and heated again in an oxidizing environment to convert lead to lead oxide that is absorbed into the cupel, leaving the precious metals behind as a doré bead or prill. The gold content of the prill is then determined by atomic adsorption spectrometry.Both analyses are preceded by the preparation package Prep-31Y whereby the entire sample is crushed to 70% passing 2mm, a 250g split is collected by rotary splitter and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Laboratory over-limits analysis methods were applied as required for both Sb and Au. A systematic QAQC protocol was employed that includes systematic insertion in the sample stream of certified reference materials and blank samples at a frequency of 1 in 10, plus analysis of duplicate pulp splits at a frequency of 1 in 30.About the Project and Historical ResourceDiscovered in the late 1970s, Trojárová was the focus of extensive surface and underground exploration over a 2km strike length from 1983 to 1995, with 63 core holes for a total of 14,330m, and 1.7km of underground workings completed. Efforts continued over the years as additional trenches were dug, and holes were drilled. Starting in 1990, underground development work began ultimately comprising a 300-meter-long adit connected to a 700-plus meter-long drive in the footwall of the mineralized zone with seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone for sampling purposes.These efforts culminated in a comprehensive study comprising drill logs, analyses, drill plans, maps and sections, deposit model studies, petrographic studies, metallurgical studies and more, now detailed in a multi-volume compendium of reports produced by the Slovak Geological Institute published in 1992, including a historical mineral resource estimate (see "Historical Resource Estimates" below). Per this historical estimate, at a cut-off grade of 1.0% antimony, Trojárová hosts 2.46 million tonnes averaging 2.47% antimony and 0.635 grams per tonne gold in a mineralized zone averaging 3.32 meters wide, containing approximately 60,000 tonnes of antimony in situ.Historical Resource EstimatesThe historical estimate related to the Trojárová Property was taken from a compendium produced by the Slovak Geological Survey, completed in March 1992 based on exploration work undertaking in the 1980s and 1990s. It is entitled (English translation): "FINAL JOB REPORT, PEZINOK-TROJAROVA, Geological Survey State Enterprise", report compendium number 78406 (Michel et al, 1992).The Slovak Geological Institute, the state agency that carried out all exploration and underground development work at Trojárová, classified the historical resources as "P1" and "C2" in the Slovak version of the Russian classification system, respectively. These are closest within the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum's ("CIM") classification system to "inferred mineral resources," which is defined by the CIM as that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.The historical work carried out appears comprehensive, detailed and at a professional standard. The Company considers this historical data to be relevant as the Company will use these data as a guide to plan future exploration programs. The Company also considers the data to be reliable for these purposes. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current.Qualified PersonThe technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by David Murray, P.Geo, VP-Exploration for Military Metals and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.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.

TOKYO, February 3,2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Japantastics, Inc, a Tokyo-based company dedicated to promoting and distributing authentic Japan-made products to a global audience, has announced the official launch of Japantastics.jp, an online commerce platform that discovers and promotes unique, high-quality Japan-made products - focusing on craftsmanship, engineering, and stories that have long remained hidden beyond Japan's borders.Japan is home to a remarkable depth of artisanal skill and manufacturing excellence. Yet while global interest in Japan continues to rise — reflected in 40+ million visitors in 2025 — many highly skilled artisans and small manufacturers remain oriented entirely toward the domestic market. As a result, much of Japan’s finest craftsmanship remains difficult to encounter outside the country.Japantastics was founded to fill this divide, and curate products based on craft integrity, technical excellence, and cultural context, introducing makers whose work reflects years—often decades—of dedication and refinement. Rather than functioning as a conventional e-commerce marketplace, the Japantastics platform serves to discover and illuminate unique Japan-made crafts and products and will continue to broaden its lineup by discovering and introducing exceptional, lesser-known items from across the country.“Interest in premium Japanese products abroad continues to expand,” said Aki Tsukioka, Co-founder of Japantastics, Inc. "However, many artisans lack the resources, language support, and international channels needed to reach customers overseas. Japantastics exists to bridge that gap—not by simply selling products, but by communicating the value systems, techniques, and stories behind them."At the core of Japantastics is a belief that truly meaningful products are not disposable commodities, but lifelong tools shaped by human intention. By working closely with artisans and manufacturers, the company aims to present Japan-made goods not as trends, but as enduring objects that reward long-term use and appreciation. Each product is introduced with its background, production philosophy, and practical relevance for modern life.The Japantastics platform will continue to expand its lineup by discovering lesser-known makers across Japan - ranging from traditional crafts to contemporary manufacturing - while maintaining a highly selective, story-driven approach to curation. With this model, Japantastics positions itself as a cultural bridge: connecting Japanese creators with global audiences who value authenticity, quality, and depth over mass production.About JapantasticsJapantastics, Inc. is a Tokyo-based company dedicated to introducing authentic Japan-made products to global audiences. Through careful curation and storytelling, the company connects Japanese artisans and small manufacturers with customers worldwide who seek products defined by craftsmanship, longevity, and cultural meaning.

KYOTO, Japan, Feb. 4, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Valuufy, a Kyoto-based stakeholder impact intelligence company, today released a whitepaper analyzing the nine Nikkei 225 automakers,* and six international benchmarks,** across 168 validated performance metrics, with comparative benchmarking. The findings reveal a 55-point gap between policy commitment and verification performance, reflecting the industry-wide challenge of building measurement infrastructure to match ambitious commitments.Japanese automakers are major competitors in global markets and represent significant holdings in international portfolios. For investors evaluating automotive holdings, this gap creates material uncertainty, but also an opportunity for those who can identify which companies back their commitments with measurable outcomes.[Fig.1: Impact Research Paper - Executive Summary Page].Despite policy commitments averaging 77% across all ValuuCompass impact topics, only 22% translate to quantified outcomes, and just 10% receive third-party verification. This creates potential risk for investors relying on unverified disclosure data, and reflects the industry-wide challenge of building measurement infrastructure to match ambitious commitments.The Measurement Gap"The 55-point policy-performance gap represents fundamental infrastructure deficiencies in translating policy into measurable action," said Kyle Barnes, CEO of Valuufy. "Companies with unsubstantiated claims face potential regulatory scrutiny and reputational damage as verification standards tighten under emerging regulations, including the EU's CSRD and Japan's SSBJ."Value Washing: Beyond Greenwashing"Value washing occurs when companies make stakeholder commitments exceeding actual delivery," said Dr Philip Sugai, Director of Research at Valuufy. "Unlike greenwashing, which focuses on environmental claims, value washing extends across all seven stakeholder groups, including the company, its employees, customers, partners, society, nature and shareholders. The opposite is Value Hushing: when companies achieve strong results but fail to disclose them due to measurement infrastructure gaps."The assessment identified critical measurement blind spots in channel partners, where most environmental and human rights impacts concentrate, and society, including community relationships essential for operational continuity. Only 34% of channel partner metrics have calculation-ready disclosures, while 12% of industry disclosures are claims without quantitative support.Verification Patterns: Japan and International ComparisonJapanese automakers demonstrate comprehensive policy commitments but lower third-party verification rates, averaging 5% compared to 18% for the international peers assessed. This pattern may reflect corporate governance approaches that emphasize internal control over external validation.Among international manufacturers included in the benchmarking, Volkswagen leads with a verification rate of 34%, followed by Hyundai at 26% and BYD at 23%.[Fig.2: Impact Report - Auto Sector Rankings Page]."Building proper measurement infrastructure takes 3-5 years," Barnes added. "Companies starting now can achieve operational maturity by 2028-2029, positioning themselves to meet emerging regulatory requirements across jurisdictions."This Japan automotive analysis is the first in a series of industry reports using ValuuCompass methodology. Valuufy will publish sector-specific assessments throughout 2026. Expanded coverage of international automotive markets is available on demand for investors and companies seeking broader benchmarking.*Nikkei 225 Automakers: Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki, Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi Motors, Isuzu, Hino Motors.**International Automakers: Volkswagen, Hyundai, BYD, Ford, Tesla, General Motors.Download the whitepaper: www.valuufy.com/automotive-analysis Media Contact: Marco Koeder, Chief Operating Officer, Valuufy.

Contracts for 31 large frame gas turbine units—up 15 units YoY—were concluded during Q1-3, the majority of which were from customers in North America and Asia. Revenue increased by ¥75.9 billion YoY; the largest gains were seen in GTCC, which continued to execute its sizeable backlog. Segment business profit decreased by ¥7.7 billion YoY mainly due to one-time expenses in Steam Power, which offset strong performance in GTCC from higher revenue and improved margins.In P&I, order intake increased by ¥77.7 billion YoY due to the booking of a large project in Engineering. Revenue grew by ¥47.4 billion. Improved margins in Metals Machinery and Machinery Systems helped to raise segment business profit by ¥25.2 billion YoY.In LT&D, revenue decreased by ¥27.6 billion YoY due to a decline in units sold in Turbochargers and Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC). Steady performance in Engines on the back of strong demand in Asia, combined with the rebound from one-time expenses associated with a supply chain disruption in Turbochargers during the previous fiscal year, resulted in a ¥1.2 billion YoY increase in segment business profit.In ADS, order intake decreased by ¥345.0 billion YoY due to a high base effect from large orders booked in Defense & Space during the previous fiscal year.

Demand for gas turbines remains high, particularly in the U.S., as communicated previously. Revenue was up especially in GTCC and Defense & Space, which are both executing some of the largest backlogs ever seen in our history. We also achieved remarkable growth in business profit as we offset one-time expenses in Steam Power with success in other businesses.""On the back of this excellent progress through Q3," Nishio went on, "we have made upward revisions to our full-year order intake, business profit, net income, and FCF guidance. We are entering the final stretch of this fiscal year with renewed confidence, leveraging our historically high backlog to grow profit while continuing to win new orders—the source of future earnings expansion.

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, Feb 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Airwheel recently announced the continued rollout of its AI-driven rideable smart cabin suitcase solutions, marking a new phase in the evolution of intelligent travel mobility as global demand for smart transportation accelerates. Today, Airwheel’s sales and distribution network spans 68 countries and more than 4,600 retail locations worldwide. As its global expansion continues, the company’s electric and smart suitcases are transitioning from innovative products into high-frequency travel tools used by consumers around the world.Looking ahead, Airwheel will continue to advance the evolution of rideable smart luggage across technology, user experience, and application scenarios, allowing intelligent systems to integrate into travel in a more natural and intuitive way—so that travel becomes not just a means of transportation, but an opportunity to explore the world and enjoy life.As smart mobility continues to reshape global travel and transportation, intellectual property and design capability have emerged as key factors distinguishing true industry leaders from short-term innovators. In the field of rideable suitcase and smart mobility solutions, Airwheel has steadily strengthened its leadership position through long-term, systematic investment in technology and design.As one of the pioneers of the rideable smart luggage category, Airwheel has built a clear and robust competitive moat at the core technology level. To date, the company has accumulated more than 600 patents worldwide, covering critical areas such as motion control algorithms, electric drive systems, intelligent sensing, and structural design, including multiple international invention patents. In parallel, Airwheel has advanced its global intellectual property strategy, with trademarks registered in more than 168 countries and regions, providing a solid foundation for regulatory compliance, large-scale commercialization, and long-term brand development across international markets.Amid the rapid iteration of smart mobility products, design capability has become an equally important measure of product maturity. If patents represent technological depth and engineering strength, then international design awards serve as authoritative recognition of product philosophy, user experience, and comprehensive design excellence. In recent years, multiple Airwheel smart products have received recognition from leading global design awards, including the German iF Design Award, the U.S. IDEA Awards, the IAI Design Award, and the Berlin Design Award, demonstrating the brand’s consistent and high-level design output in the smart mobility space.These awards go far beyond aesthetics, evaluating products across dimensions such as usability logic, safety architecture, engineering integrity, human–machine interaction, and future application potential. Recognition from such professional juries indicates that Airwheel’s smart suitcase designs have been rigorously validated for both functional completeness and real-world usability, further enhancing the brand’s credibility in global markets.At the product level, the global popularity of the Airwheel SE3S Series marks a significant milestone in bringing rideable smart luggage into the mainstream. True product maturity is not defined solely by technical completeness, but by its ability to enter popular culture and everyday consumer awareness. Driven by social media and short-form video platforms, the Airwheel SE3S Series has become a favored electric suitcase among international celebrities, content creators, and fashion-forward travelers—often described as both a mobility tool and a “mobile lifestyle accessory.”Frequently seen in airports, fashion events, street photography, and travel scenarios, this rideable smart cabin suitcase not only serves a functional purpose but also delivers emotional value and personal expression. According to public data and platform analytics, content related to the Airwheel SE3S Series has generated tens of billions of impressions globally, transcending the boundaries of a single product category and becoming widely recognized as a fashionable travel symbol in the digital era.User feedback has further reinforced this dual identity. Many consumers describe the SE3S Series as “instantly recognizable” and “a travel companion that makes journeys lighter and more enjoyable,” strengthening its positioning at the intersection of smart mobility and lifestyle consumption.Notably, Airwheel has expanded its smart luggage ecosystem beyond adult users. The company also offers the SQ3 Series, a rideable smart suitcase designed specifically for children. By prioritizing safety and structural stability, the SQ3 Series introduces greater interaction and enjoyment into family travel, positioning smart luggage as an integral part of the parent-child travel experience.From a compliance perspective, the Airwheel SE3S Series is designed as a cabin suitcase, featuring a detachable lithium battery that meets airline safety standards, allowing it to be carried onboard flights in accordance with major international airline regulations. This design enables frequent, legal, and reliable use in airport environments worldwide, making it a practical choice for international travelers.Evolving from a mobility device into a source of emotional value and, ultimately, a widely recognized fashion travel product, the rise of the Airwheel SE3S Series signals that rideable smart luggage is becoming a natural part of everyday global travel.About AirwheelFounded in 2004, Airwheel is a global smart transportation device manufacturer with R&D, marketing, manufacturing, and logistics centers in the United States, Belgium, and China. The company has integrated the portable transportation industrial chain and built a globally recognized brand, serving more than 30 million users across 68 countries. Guided by its philosophy of “Free Intelligent Life,” Airwheel leverages technologies such as IoT sensors, robotics, and deep learning to develop intelligent mobility solutions that enhance freedom, joy, and everyday travel experiences worldwide.Media ContactCompany: AirwheelContact: Media TeamWebsite: https://www.airwheel.net Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Feb 3, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – FWD Group Holdings Limited (“FWD Group” or “FWD”) today unveiled findings from its consumer outlook survey, showing that majority of Asia’s middle class feel financially anxious and underprepared for retirement, as rising living costs and growing family responsibilities reshape financial priorities across generations.Nearly three-quarters (71 per cent) of middle-class consumers feel anxiety about their overall financial wellbeing, with top three concerns being the rising cost of everyday living (71 per cent); high cost of healthcare (43 per cent); and unexpected job loss or a reduction in their income (37 per cent). As a result, their primary financial goals are focused on a two-to-three-year time frame. Almost half (44 per cent) of the respondents aim to build a basic safety net for their families, while one-third (37 per cent) hope to achieve financial independence.Lee Yen Ho, Group Chief Distribution and Proposition Officer, FWD Group, said, “It’s clear that there is a shared sense of financial vulnerability across generations of middle classes in Asia. As people live longer and family structures evolve, building the financial resilience to protect loved ones and turn savings into sustainable lifetime income will become increasingly essential. Changing the way people feel about insurance has an important role to play. Insurance provides protection in difficult times, but it can also help to build resilience, secure income for retirement, and give people the confidence they need to celebrate living.”The findings also reveal clear generational pressures: - Generation X (born in 1965-1980) face the toughest balancing act – funding education, paying mortgages and preparing for retirement. Among this segment, 62 per cent worry that their savings won’t keep pace with inflation, and 52 per cent rank guaranteed lifelong income as their top retirement need.- Generation Y (born 1981–1995) juggle multiple financial responsibilities, with 49 per cent worrying about saving for their own retirement. The vast majority (85 per cent) support their parents in addition to caring for their children. Although almost half (47 per cent) are looking for a single, efficient solution to cover multiple family members, most (61 per cent) have never heard of family insurance plans.- Generation Z (born 1996–2010) face growing financial pressure, with 53 per cent expecting difficulties in the next five to 10 years due to rising daily expenses, and 46 per cent saying that insurance products feel too expensive.The pan-Asian survey, conducted with Ipsos, surveyed over 9,000 middle-class consumers aged 21-65 across the 10 markets where FWD operates: Cambodia, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Japan, Macau SAR, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. FWD already offers a range of products across its markets to strengthen protection, resilience, and long-term financial security. For example, in Hong Kong, the One&All medical insurance plan provides flexible family-focused coverage with optional add-on benefits that require no underwriting. In Japan, a single-yen premium annuity product was introduced to meet the growing demand for savings and retirement planning, helping individuals and families build a steady stream of retirement income. In Thailand and Singapore, the FWD Sure pension plan and FWD Invest Flexi Elite plan help customers prepare for retirement through structured income and sustainable wealth-building options. In Indonesia, the FWD Critical First protection plan delivers affordable, inflation-conscious coverage to help families safeguard their financial well-being amid rising costs.About FWD GroupFWD Group (1828.HK) is a pan-Asian life and health insurance business that serves approximately 34 million customers across 10 markets, including BRI Life in Indonesia.
