英国伦敦, 2026年2月11日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 高肉类、蛋类和乳制品的饮食会造成显著的环境成本。但最新研究揭示，在许多情况下，将爱犬的饮食调整为更可持续的方案，对地球环境和养殖动物产生的积极影响可能远大于改变人类自身饮食。兽医教授安德鲁·奈特在《动物》期刊发表的研究发现，平均每只狗每年饮食中消耗约13只农场陆生动物，而人类仅消耗9只——差距约达40%。这种差异主要源于犬类饮食中动物性成分占比更高（约34%），而人类饮食中该比例仅为19%。这些数据为全球平均值，各国存在差异。在美国等高收入国家，整体消耗量更高：当地人均年消耗24只养殖陆生动物，而犬类仅消耗20只，差距缩小至约20%。传统肉类宠物食品因此对环境和动物福利造成显著影响。然而，基于植物、微生物蛋白和培养肉的替代品正日益普及。如今在许多国家，纯植物（纯素）宠物食品已可通过线上零售商轻松购得。截至2026年初，已有14项研究和1项系统综述证实v，采用此类饮食的犬猫健康状况良好。但宠物食品必须由负责任的制造商生产，并全面补充营养以确保涵盖所有必需营养素。潜在效益极为可观。若全球宠物犬全面转为营养均衡的纯素饮食，每年可避免60亿陆生动物被宰杀。温室气体减排量将达英国年排放量的1.5倍，节省的粮食能量足以养活4.5亿人口——相当于欧盟总人口规模。这些数据基于2018年统计，鉴于犬类数量增长速度超过人类，当前潜在效益更为显著。通过分析数千名宠物饲养者的调查反馈，奈特还估算至少1.5亿只猫狗可切实转型为营养均衡的纯素饮食。但他指出，由于分析假设每户仅饲养一只宠物，实际数量可能高出数倍。该研究运用有效利他主义原则评估可持续宠物饮食方案——该哲学体系依据规模、忽视程度及可解决性对议题进行优先级排序，以实现效益最大化。研究发现可持续宠物饮食领域存在严重忽视：全球仅有约两名非宠物食品公司的全职研究者，且养殖动物权益运动年度预算中投入该领域的比例不足1%。奈特总结指出，植物性宠物饮食是减少养殖动物使用、改善粮食安全、应对气候与生物多样性挑战的强有力却被忽视的途径。他敦促动物与环境倡导者突破仅关注人类饮食的局限，探索更可持续的饮食模式。“颇具讽刺意味的是，”他坦言，“动物权益运动却普遍忽视了自身伴侣动物的饮食问题。”安德鲁·奈特教授a.knight@griffith.edu.au 来源：可持续宠物食品基金会 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Melbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 10, 2026) - Copper-gold explorer and hybrid prospect generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on strong initial results and an acceleration of exploration activities following completion of the Phase 1 drilling program at the Nevertire and Nevertire-South projects. The programs are being conducted under earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (AngloGold Ashanti).Phase 1 drilling has upgraded the immediate target zone and reaffirmed Kincora's view that the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) represents the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project within the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc. Drilling has now recommenced to follow up high-priority targets advanced during the second half of 2025.In parallel, exploration activities have expanded to materially increase the search space to the south of the NMC. New geophysical surveys and a review of prior explorer drilling are underway to systematically evaluate and advance a prospective strike length exceeding 40km across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses.HIGHLIGHTSExtensive porphyry complex with multiple discovery potential confirmed: Phase 1 drilling (8-holes for 3385.2 metres, completed in 2H'2025) validated the presence of a large, highly prospective composite volcanic-intrusive complex across a greater than 5.4km strike at the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC). Drilling intesected porphyry related lithologies, alteration, and vein hosted and disseminated copper, gold and pathfinder mineralisation.Targets upgraded; follow-up drilling underway: Phase 1 successfully upgraded the immediate target zone (open in all directions) and generated strong vectors for follow-up drilling. Copper and gold grades suggest increasing proximity to one or more porphyry system centre(s) (Figure 5). High-priority infill and step-out drilling has recommenced to further refine vectoring patterns and test multiple potential porphyry centres.Scale increased to province-scale: Phase 1 results combined with a review of prior explorer drilling support a greater than six-fold increase in the prospective strike length across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses. An initial ~110km² gravity surveying has been completed as part of a planned ~400km² program. The results, together with historical core resampling, are expected to refine step-out and scout drilling targets across multiple newly interpreted Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes.Expanded scout drilling planned at Nyngan: Planning and permitting are underway to expand scout drilling at two targets at the Nyngan license along with a potential first-ever hole at the adjacent Nyngan South license.Strong partnership and commercial alignment: The Nyngan, Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Nevertire projects form part of two earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti, which has the right to invest up to A$100-million across a total of five projects covering a continuous strike greater than 100km within Kincora's Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) portfolio. Kincora currently manages the programs and receives a 10% management fee on expenditures.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, said:"Initial results have been very positive, validating Newcrest's prior analogues to the Cadia-Ridgeway and the Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry deposits and reaffirmed our view that the Nevertire Magmatic Complex is the most advanced and prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc. As a result, activities have been expanded to both follow up immediate high priority targets with drilling but also systematically advance a province-scale pipeline across a greater than 40km strike. Phase 1 drilling included large step-out holes from two previously favourable Newcrest intercepts and successfully upgraded the immediate target zone. We are very excited to have recommenced drilling, as the results indicate a new, large-scale mineralised system with the geological characteristics required for multiple discoveries.Additional scale is also emerging to the south. A review of prior explorer drilling and a ground gravity survey completed in late 2025 have highlighted significant southern extension potential, where favourable basement intersections, anomalous results, and untested magnetic and gravity anomalies remain open for drill testing.Separately, planning continues to support further scout drilling at the Nyngan and potentially Nyngan South projects. With a portfolio exceeding 2,350km² and a strong partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, Kincora is well positioned to systematically advance this unique, province-scale opportunity, offering substantial leverage to shareholders."NEVERTIRE AND NEVERTIRE SOUTH PROJECTSTarget specific drilling Following the April 2025 amended and second earn-in agreement with AngloGold Ashanti 1, a first phase drilling program commenced at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses in 2H'2025. The program benefitied from unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) and was designed to follow up two prior favourable drill results reported by Newcrest Mining and the most northern drilled holes at the NMC.Newcrest holes ACDNY005 and ACDNY006 were drilled ~2.7km apart, in the central portion of the NMC, and returned "lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 2. Kincora's relogging of these holes, led by technical director John Holliday, supported this interpretation.The Phase 1 program included large scale step-out drilling and was designed to identify and define vectoring patterns toward potential porphyry centres. This program was very encouraging in providing strong vectors, upgrading the immediate target zone, supporting Newcrest's previous interpretation and reaffirming the Company's view that the NMC is the most geologically prospective porphyry project in the northern covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc.The 8 hole program, totalling 3385.2 metres, utilised cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the relatively soft post mineral cover sequence, followed by NQ3 diamond core drilling of the porphyry-prospective basement. All holes intersected basement. Drilling to date has intersected the NMC at shallow to moderate depths, with basement mostly at ~70m (in the south-west) to a 250m depth.Step-out drilling across a greater than 4km of strike intersected multiple porphyritic intrusive phases beneath a moderate thickness of post-mineral cover - see Figures 4-5 and Tables 1-4. Lithologies intersected include monzonite, diorite, dacite, and crowded pyroxene-hornblende andesites - see selected core photographs in Figure 6. Favourable alteration and porphyry-style veining were observed, with copper, gold and pathfinder element geochemistry providing vectors for high-priority follow-up drilling, including copper grades suggestive of increasing proximity to a porphyry system centre(s) (see Figure 5).High priority infill and further step-out drilling has recommenced to discover and refine vectoring patterns toward prospective porphyry centres.Larger scale new target and intrusive complex generation As previously announced, following encouraging initial visual observations, follow-up geophysical surveys commenced in 2H'2025, together with a review of prior explorer drilling results and ground gravity survey data 3.These activities have resulted in a material increase in the prospective search space across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses, supporting a total prospective strike of greater than 40km N-S, representing a greater than 6x increase relative to the initial Phase 1 drill strike extent - see Figure 3.A gravity survey covering ~110km2 has been completed and is currently being intergrated with legacy gravity data-sets, totalling ~148km2, acquired by prior explorers. These historical surveys were variable in coverage density and spatial distribution, reflecting piecemeal target-specific objectives. When combined with the new systematic gravity coverage, the dataset is expected to support a more coherent district-scale interpretation, with a further ~290km² of gravity surveying planned in 2026.Prior explorer drilling across the southern extensions of the NMC includes 23 diamond holes totalling 7,383.7 metres, with some drillcore hosted in the publicly accessible Londonderry core library at the NSW Government's WB Clarke Geoscience Centre. Numerous historical drillholes in the Nevertire South priority area and adjacent southern targets were only partially sampled or analysed for a limited element suite, and most critical porphyry pathfinder elements were not consistently assayed.As a result, multiple historical drillholes intersecting basement, coincident with favourable magnetic and/or gravity anomalies and returning anomalous geochemical results, were not advanced beyond initial testing. Many of these intersections are now recognised to be spatially associated with interpreted Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes that remain open and untested.Resampling, re-logging and modern analytical work on high-priority historical drillholes, together with new geophysical data, is planned and is expected to expand and systematically advance the exploration pipeline, refine further step-out and scout drilling targets, and support evaluation of multiple potential new Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes.Figure 1: Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti have partnered to explore new district-scale undercover extensions of the world-class Macquarie Arc in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt via two earn-in and joint venture agreements, currently aggressively drilling large greenfield targets Kincora has a portfolio of eight active projects, including managing two earn-in programs with AngloGold Ashanti, receiving a 10% management fee on expenditures, and covering a continuous 100km strike across 5 adjacent licenses (see References footnote 7 for source data for disclosed inventory/metal endowment)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_001full.jpgFigure 2: Positive results have supported an acceleration of exploration activities, with step-out and infill drilling recommenced at the Nevertire South license, wider exploration planned to the south, and planning underway for recommencing drilling at multiple targets within the the Nyngan license, and potentially a maiden scout hole in the Nyngan South license To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_002full.jpgFigure 3: Phase 1 drilling results reaffirm Kincora's view that the NMC is the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc, with the southern strike highlighting new province-scale potential A gravity survey covering >100 km² has been completed within a planned total survey area of >400 km².

Results are consistent with Newcrest's prior interpretation that the project hosts lithologies, alteration and veining characteristic of a setting comparable to Macquarie Arc porphyry systems such as Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla (Ridgeway) ²To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_004full.jpgFigure 5: Phase 1 drilling successfully upgraded the immediate target zone (open in all directions), providing vectors for follow up drilling, including copper and gold grades suggestive of proximity to a porphyry system centreInformation disclosed for Cadia-Ridgeway is not necessarily indicative of the Nevertire Magmatic Complex ("NMC"), and is provided for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate the typically discrete alteration and mineralisation footprints characteristic of Macquarie Arc "pencil" or "finger" porphyry systems.

The district has seen considerable exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 7 and an emerging gold discovery by Waratah Resources at the Spur project 8 and LinQ Minerals at the southern zone of the Gilmore project 9.Despite regional magnetics effectively mapping the Macquarie Arc volcanic belts, due to the post mineral cover, there has been very limited prior drilling of the extensions of both the Junee-Narromine and Molong volcanic belts relative to the southern more outcropping sections which hosts a number of world-class deposits and mines (e.g. Cadia, Cowal and Northparkes).Kincora's portfolio and the wider NJNB offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with magnetics, gravity and new Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) surveys, supportive of large-scale targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern section of the Arc.AngloGold Ashanti has secured Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreements with both Kincora and Inflection Resources (AUCU.CSE) ("Inflection", market capitalisation C$31.3 million) within the NJNB with over A$20 million investment to date 10. In 2Q'2025, AngloGold Ashanti moved to Phase II of its earn-in agreement with Inflection designating a total of four projects to continue earning into (including two projects adjacent to Kincora's Nyngan project) 11 and signed a major amendment with Kincora to include a second joint venture supporting a continuous strike greater than a 100kms and five projects.The most recent notable example of a new globally significant emerging porphyry district is the Vicuña district, which is also an extension of a renowned world-class porphyry belt. Vicuña is an extension of the central Andean belts in Argentina on the border of Chile and situated at over 4000m altitude.Within this district NGEx Resources Inc in 2009 held three early-stage exploration projects and at the time had a market capitalisation of approximately C$40 million 12. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded in four large-scale discoveries valued at over A$11 billion 13.Kincora was an early mover into the NJNB and has opportunistically pegged strategically important ground directly from the State resulting in a district scale portfolio of the interpreted most prospective and shallow to moderate covered part of the northwards extension of the Macquarie Arc under post mineral cover. This portfolio now covers a strike twice the length of the Vicuña district and is included in earn-in and agreements with AngloGold Ashanti.ABOUT KINCORAKincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused copper-gold explorer with a hybrid prospect generator strategy. The Company is now successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Macquarie Arc and Mongolia's Southern Gobi, two of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar Basin in NSW.Kincora is using an asset level partner model to develop and implement exploration strategies for its wholly-owned large-scale exploration stage porphyry projects. The Company has already unlocked over $100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects 13. These initial deals have supported over 16,000 metres of drilling and over A$7m of partner funded exploration since late 2024 until September 30, 2025, with management fees and exploration ramping up 14.Partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship projects that are all situated within existing porphyry camps containing over 20-million-ounce gold equivalent resource inventory.Kincora's ambition is to be the operator for exploration budgets of over $10 million per annum for the porphyry portfolio providing sufficient project management fees for the Company to be self-funding (covering corporate costs and maintenance of remaining wholly owned projects) and have partnerships with a diversified portfolio of industry leading producers/explorers. This is in addition to the various other existing partnerships where Kincora is not the operator or receiving a management fee income stream.The Company has assembled an industry leading technical team who have made multiple world-class copper and gold discoveries, who have "skin in the game" equity ownership, and, backed by a consolidated and sophisticated shareholder register. In Septmber 2025, Kincora closed an oversubscribed C$4 million non-brokered private placement of units led by leading North American investors, including Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips, and their investor networks.The share units have a 12-month hold period and there is an accelerator on the warrants - both at the lead investors requests. This raising is concurrent with a corporate restructuring and share capital roll back with only 43-million shares outstanding and over 60% of the register held by reporting insiders and/or in 12-month hold stock.The roll back and placement terms provides Kincora the corporate structure to leverage the deals, partner funding and project results already in place and to unlock significant existing value. This is starting to be realized.The new capital provides the ability to accelerate more drilling, do more asset level deals, earn more management fees, and, ultimately, supporting the ambition of more (big) new discoveries. These multiple avenues all provide further material value catalysts for shareholders.The financing also supports Kincora pursuing a hybrid project generator model and undertaking drilling at our 100% owned Condobolin project. The Condobolin project hosts a historical mining field located within the Cobar Basin and within trucking distance to an existing mill seeking third party ore. The Cobar Basin has recently seen a number of significant new discoveries (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and significant corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover of MAC, Kingston Resources receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its Misima project etc). The project and regional profiles' support the Condobolin project being an asset that a junior explorer such as Kincora can add significant value too.By having a significant portfolio of partner funded large porphyry projects, and a very focused program on a 100% owned project, the Company is seeking to position Kincora as a leading institutional grade explorer in the public Australian and Canadian markets, and the leading project generator on the ASX.To learn more, please visit: www.kincoracopper.comThis announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Kincora Copper Limited (ARBN 645 457 763)For further information please contact:Sam Spring, President and Chief Executive Officersam.spring@kincoracopper.com or +61431 329 345Laurie Thomas, Strategic Advisorlaurie.thomas@kincoracopper.com or +1306 341 3826Media contactJulia Maguire, Managing Director, The Capital Networkjulia@thecapitalnetwork.com.au or +61 2 7257 7338Executive office400 - 837 West Hastings StreetVancouver, BC V6C 3N6, CanadaTel: 1.604.283.1722Subsidiary office AustraliaC/- JM Corporate ServicesLevel 6, 350 Collins StreetMelbourne, VIC, Australia 3000Qualified PersonThe scientific and technical information in this announcement was prepared in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and was reviewed, verified and compiled by Kincora's staff under the supervision of Peter Leaman (M.Sc.

HONG KONG, Feb 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Currently, digital transformation has become the core proposition of global industrial upgrading, and the manufacturing industry is also undergoing a disruptive transformation from being “experience-driven” to “data intelligence-driven”. In this process, the deep integration of artificial intelligence and industrial scenarios has become the key to resolving manufacturing complexity and unleashing productivity. The introduction of the Action Plan for Integrating and Empowering Industrial Internet and Artificial Intelligence by MIIT further marks the upgrade of “AI + Manufacturing” from an optional pathway to a mandatory one, giving rise to a blue ocean of value worth tens of trillions.As a deep participant and leader in the digital and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, COSMOPlat IoT Technology Co., Ltd. (“COSMOPlat”) has, based on its profound understanding of massive data and complex scenarios in the industrial field, built a full-stack AI technology system that includes training and inference platform, large models, intelligent agent development and application platforms. This has not only redefined the implementation path of industrial digitalization and intelligentization, but also continuously strengthened its technical barriers in industrial practice, building a solid and difficult-to-replicate moat, and is expected to benefit deeply from the dividends of industrial digital and intelligent transformation and development. On January 30, COSMOPlat submitted a listing application to the HKEX, embarking on a new chapter of value realization.AI Restructuring Industrial Digitalization: Full-stack Architecture and Flywheel Effect Build Core BarriersIn traditional perception, the industrial internet is a platform for data connection and circulation, and its technical boundaries remain more at the levels of equipment access, data collection, and process visualization. However, through its original “space-air-ground integrated” full-stack AI technology system, COSMOPlat has deeply embedded “AI+” into its technology architecture, achieving an intelligent closed-loop across the entire chain from perception and decision-making to execution, transforming data into intelligent decision-making capabilities, completely overturning the technology logic of the traditional industrial internet, and building an inimitable technology moat.At the “space” level, COSMOPlat utilizes “COSMOMind”, the first domestic vertical large model based on an industrial internet platform, as its decision-making hub. “COSMOMind” deeply integrates Haier Group's over 40 years of manufacturing knowledge, as well as expert models and high-quality multimodal datasets accumulated on the COSMOMind Industrial Big Data. It possesses significant advantages in industrial scenario analysis, knowledge Q&A, and logical reasoning, with a retrieval accuracy rate of up to 93% in industrial knowledge fusion and retrieval. Through the "one industry, one model" strategy, COSMOPlat has developed industry-specific large models for enterprises in home appliances, energy and chemicals, energy and carbon industries, providing intelligent decision-making support for major industrial scenarios including research and development design, production manufacturing, operation services and dual-carbon management.Industry intelligent agents and industrial software serve as the “air link”, transforming the decision-making instructions of large models into more flexible human-machine interaction methods and more efficient execution capabilities. As of the Latest Practicable Date, COSMOPlat has developed 57 industrial intelligent agents covering over 40 core scenarios across 3 major industries, which can handle key industrial functions such as process optimization, equipment management, and smart energy and carbon, helping customers achieve intelligent control of industrial processes, shorten process parameter adjustment cycles, improve equipment operation and maintenance efficiency, and reduce production energy consumption and energy costs.At the “ground” level, intelligent terminals and automation equipment, acting as the executing limbs, transform AI capabilities into actual production actions and integrate them into the entire manufacturing process, achieving efficient synergy among data, equipment and scenarios, driving industrial AI from isolated intelligent applications to domain-wide intelligence, creating value-added throughout the entire process for customers across various industries, and maximizing the release of data value.Relying on the “space-air-ground integrated” full-stack AI technology system, COSMOPlat has achieved full-link intelligence across “perception-analysis-decision-execution-feedback”, forming a unique flywheel effect of “data accumulation—model refinement—intelligent agent deployment—data reinforcement”, achieving self-reinforcement and a virtuous cycle where “more data is generated through use, models become more precise through use, and intelligent agent scenarios become broader through use”, enabling COSMOPlat's AI capabilities to continuously evolve in practice and building a solid technology barrier.Practical Evidence: AI Empowerment from Concept to Significant Scenario Implementation ResultsThe value of technology must ultimately be tested by the market. COSMOPlat has demonstrated through numerous benchmark cases that its AI empowerment has moved beyond the “proof of concept” stage and is capable of delivering tangible economic benefits to enterprises.In the petrochemical industry, COSMOPlat has developed the world's first petrochemical large model covering the entire industry chain, entire ecosystem chain, and entire value chain, which has been implemented in a large-scale petrochemical enterprise. Based on the model, the Company has developed 38 intelligent agents, such as the dynamometer intelligent assistant and the aldehyde separation tower process optimization agent, covering scenarios such as oilfield extraction, oil and gas refining and chemical processing, and production safety, with an average efficiency increase of 20%. Taking the dynamometer intelligent assistant as an example, based on the professional capabilities of whole-network search and the COSMOMind, this intelligent agent can “read and understand” dynamometer data of industrial equipment such as deep well pumps, accurately identify equipment failures and provide disposal suggestions, improving the efficiency of oil well equipment failure diagnosis and disposal by more than 50%; the aldehyde separation tower process optimization assistant integrates historical data and expert knowledge, enabling dynamic identification and adjustment suggestions for key parameters, providing decision-making assistance for operators, and significantly enhancing quality control precision and the product first-time conversion rate; the intelligent oil blending assistant quickly generates optimal blending schemes through interpolation algorithms and non-linear programming models, balancing product performance with green production requirements, fully validating the practical value of AI in the heavy chemical industry.In core manufacturing scenarios, COSMOPlat integrates AI technology throughout the entire chain of R&D, production, operation and maintenance. On the R&D side, taking a home appliance interconnected factory selected as a world “lighthouse factory” as a typical example, an AIGC virtual design assistant was introduced. Based on massive user preference data and an expert design asset library, it generated core solutions for three-drum washing machines. By simulating inner drum operation scenarios in advance to construct a dynamic balance optimization model, it solved the industry pain point of “collisions and interference” during multi-drum operation at the source; on the production side, the injection molding industrial intelligent agent, through deep learning of injection molding professional knowledge, equipment operation data, and process data, etc., precipitated the debugging methods that previously existed only in the minds of process technicians into various intelligent algorithms, ultimately forming professional injection molding knowledge Q&A and automated process parameter recommendation capabilities, building the most powerful “industrial brain” in the field of injection molding.In the energy sector, COSMOPlat’s energy-carbon model (COSMOMind for energy-carbon) is the first energy-carbon model originating from sustainable lighthouse factory practices. Based on this model, COSMOPlat offers enterprises and industrial park users an Energy-Carbon Management Platform and end-to-end smart-energy solutions, helping customers lower energy cost, improve utilization and advance green manufacturing. These cross-industry and multi-scenario success stories strongly demonstrate the practical effectiveness and replicability of COSMOPlat’s AI solutions.From an industrial cycle perspective, as the manufacturing system grows increasingly complex and cost and efficiency constraints intensify, enterprises' demand for end-to-end digital and intelligent transformation will continue to rise, ensuring long-term certainty in industry development.COSMOPlat has pioneered the “space-air-ground integrated” technology system centered on large industrial models, with intelligent agents deeply embedded in production processes. This delivers a closed loop of perception, decision-making, and execution. Through multi-industry and multi-scenario validation, it demonstrates that AI possesses the capability to continuously generate industrial value.

香港, 2026年2月6日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在中国资本市场，牧原股份（2714.HK）是一家伴随争议成长的公司：猪周期的波动、重资产投入、阶段性高负债的经营状态，曾多次成为市场热议的焦点。但拉长时间周期，这些曾被市场讨论的「争议点」，已经开始转化成为牧原股份难以复制的核心竞争壁垒。所谓的重资产投入，并非盲目扩张，而是精准布局生猪育种、饲料生产、养殖、屠宰肉食全产业链以及智慧养殖的必要投资，最终沉淀为行业领先的成本优势与抗周期能力。2月6日，这家深耕生猪产业三十余年的龙头企业，正式登陆香港联交所。此次上市不仅标志着牧原股份成功搭建了「A+H」双资本平台，获得了更广阔的国际融资渠道，更意味着公司向着「全球养殖巨头」的目标迈出了关键一步。行业变局下的领航者：重构生猪产业发展新范式生猪产业作为关乎民生的基础产业，长期以来受「猪周期」波动、疫病防控等痛点困扰。但近年来，随着环保政策趋严、规模化养殖提速、消费需求升级，行业正迎来结构性变革——产业集中度持续提升成为必然趋势。据行业数据显示，于2024年规模化生猪养殖的渗透率达到70.1%，且其预期将于2029年达到79.4%，但相较于美国2024年90%以上的集中度，仍有巨大提升空间。牧原股份率先突破传统养殖模式的局限，构建了覆盖生猪育种、生猪养殖、饲料生产、屠宰肉食的全产业链垂直一体化体系，实现了「从农场到餐桌」的全流程可控。这种模式不仅彻底解决了传统养殖「上下游脱节、成本高企、质量难控」的痛点，更形成了强大的协同效应——饲料环节为养殖环节提供低成本、高质量的饲料供应，养殖环节为屠宰环节提供稳定的生猪来源，屠宰环节则通过消费需求反哺育种与养殖环节，形成死循环发展。更为关键的是，牧原股份将科技深度融入产业全链条，从自主研发的空气过滤猪舍、智慧巡检机器人，到数据驱动的基因选育平台、优化豆粕日粮技术，牧原以技术创新持续优化养殖效率、降低成本、提升质量。截至2025年9月30日止九个月，公司平均PSY达到约28，领先行业平均水平；育肥猪日增重约841克，亦领先同业；年均完全成本进一步降至每公斤人民币12元，继续巩固其在养殖成本端的竞争壁垒。于往绩记录期间，牧原股份累计拥有专利超1700项，其降氨除臭解决方案、优化豆粕日粮技术更是被国家相关部门作为典型案例向全行业推广，引领生猪产业向智慧化、绿色化、标准化转型。价值投资的优选目标：稳健底色与长期回报兼具牧原的吸引力，不仅来自其强大的业务模式和技术优势，同样也源于其日益稳健的财务表现和清晰的股东回报政策。盈利端，尽管生猪行业具有明显的周期性特征，但牧原股份极致的成本控制能力，在过去十年中展现了超越周期的盈利能力。2014-2024年间，公司净利润复合年均增长率达到72.7%，平均年净利润率19.0%，是全球前十猪肉上市企业中唯一一家同期平均净利润率超15%的企业。即使在行业低谷期，公司仍能保持稳健盈利，展现出极强的盈利韧性。财务层面，随着前期大规模的产能建设逐步完成，牧原正进入「投资回报期」。2022-2024年累计经营活动现金流入净额已1.6倍覆盖累计资本性支出，2025年前三季度这一比例进一步提升至3.9倍。充裕的现金流不仅为公司继续扩大竞争优势提供了资金支持，也为持续分红和债务结构优化创造了条件。截至2025年三季度末，公司资产负债率为55.50%，负债总额较年初已下降约98亿元。此外，牧原股份始终重视股东回报，2022年至2025年前9个月累计派息166亿元。公司最新制定的2024-2026年股东回报规划，明确承诺每年以现金方式分配的利润由不少于当年实现的可供分配利润的40%。这一明确的回报政策，不仅体现了公司对股东的责任意识，也为其未来股价提供了重要的价值支撑。全球化布局启新程：从中国龙头到全球标杆此次港股上市，标志着牧原股份全球化战略进入新的发展阶段。在全球猪肉消费格局变化的背景下，公司正在从中国的龙头企业向世界级农业企业迈进。目前，牧原股份的海外布局已取得实质性突破，展现出强劲的落地能力。2024年与越南BAF农业有限公司达成战略合作，迈出海外拓展第一步；2025年8月，与正大集团签署战略合作协议，双方将围绕战略规划、业务整合与全球化布局等方面开展全方位合作，共同探索全球市场的巨大潜力；2025年9月，与BAF合作升级，双方合作在越南总投资32亿元的高科技楼房养殖项目，规划年出栏规模达160万头，展现了公司将国内成熟的养殖管理模式向海外复制的能力。按照牧原的战略规划，未来公司在通过技术服务、设备销售等轻资产模式进入海外市场的基础上，也会结合各地实际情况，选择多种方式开展国际化业务，包括在海外新建产能、开展有针对性的收并购等模式，海外业务的潜力增长将为公司带来对抗猪价风险的硬实力，提供新的增长空间。从行业发展趋势来看，长期稳态下，生猪养殖产业整体将保持合理的利润水平，而行业具备养殖管理和成本优势的企业望保持较好盈利能力。牧原股份养殖规模领先，养殖成本优势持续增强，盈利能力领先同行，此外，公司积极海外拓潜，向全球养殖巨头成长演化，展现出难得的确定性和成长性。随着公司在全产业链深耕、市场拓展方面的持续投入，其内在价值有望在未来几年得到进一步释放。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2026年2月6日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 当前，餐饮行业竞争日趋激烈，行业集中度逐步提升，消费者对食材新鲜度、口味标准化、品牌公信力的要求不断提高，具备核心供应链优势与清晰发展战略的企业愈发凸显竞争韧性。绿茶集团有限公司（"绿茶"或"公司"，股份代号: 6831.HK）作为休闲中式餐厅行业龙头，凭借优异、完善的供应链体系及前瞻性的国际化布局，成功突破行业发展瓶颈，化解传统餐饮运营痛点，在行业同质化竞争中脱颖而出。独特优秀供应链模式 助力菜品迭代升级提升核心竞争力优秀的供应链是餐饮企业的核心竞争力，是保障菜质量量、控制运营成本、实现规模化拓店的关键支撑，更是餐饮品牌穿越行业周期、实现长效发展的坚实根基。从供应链的演变方面来看，餐饮行业供应链经历了三次重要迭代：第一代供应链以"当地采购+厨房现炒"为核心模式，其劣势在于食材采购分散、难以实现标准化生产，且食材质量参差不齐、溯源体系不完善，无法支撑品牌规模化拓店；第二代供应链升级为"中央厨房+厨房加工"模式，虽在一定程度上解决了标准化问题，但受限于菜品加工模式，难以满足当下消费者对"现做现吃"的新鲜度需求，制约了品牌口碑提升。而绿茶精准把握行业痛点与消费趋势，创新采用第三代供应链模式：头部供应商+数字化冷链+智能厨房，该模式实现了"质量可控、新鲜现炒、口味标准"三者的有机统一，既规避了前两代供应链的核心短板，又兼顾了规模化运营与消费体验，成为行业供应链升级的标杆。在供应商合作层面，绿茶坚持与头部优质供应商深度绑定，构建稳定、高质量的食材供应体系，其供应商主要包括北京古船食品有限公司、正大集团、紫燕食品等行业龙头企业。其中，古船食品是集面粉加工、食品生产、产品研发、粮食储备、粮食贸易、销售服务为一体的大型国有企业，凭借严格的质量管控体系与稳定的产能，为绿茶提供高质量的面制品食材；正大集团成立于1921年，是知名跨国企业，在全球拥有完善的养殖、加工体系，为绿茶提供新鲜、安全的畜禽类食材，双方的深度合作为公司保障了食材质量。仓储物流方面，绿茶搭建了覆盖全国的数字化冷链仓储体系，目前在全国布局8大中心仓，广泛覆盖华南、华北、华东、西南等国内主要消费区域，食材由供应商直接运送至各中心仓后，通过精准分拣、动态管控，再以全程冷链运输的方式，配送到全国各大门店，全程实现食材溯源可查、温度实时监控，确保食材新鲜直达，从源头守住菜品质量底线。与这些头部供应商的深度合作，对绿茶的发展形成了双重赋能，一方面，头部供应商的严格质量管控体系与稳定的产能，让公司的食材供应更具保障，产品溯源体系更加完善，专业化程度持续提升，进一步强化了品牌口碑；另一方面，规模化的集中采购模式有效降低了食材采购成本，同时借助供应商的研发资源，助力绿茶实现菜品迭代升级，持续优化产品结构，提升核心竞争力。以绿茶爆款产品——绿茶烤鸡为例，其全流程运营充分彰显了第三代供应链模式的优势。绿茶先根据市场需求与产品标准，向供应商下达定制化采购订单，明确指定鸡的品种、养殖标准及规格要求；供应商按照订单要求进行标准化订单化养殖，确保鸡的生长环境与质量达标；在满足出栏条件后，利用全自动化生产线完成屠宰、消毒、分拣、清洗等一系列加工流程，严格控制每只鸡的规格，确保产品标准化；全程采用0-4℃冷链运输，送达绿茶对应区域中心仓；中心仓收到食材后，根据各门店订单需求进行快速分拣并发往各大门店；门店收到食材后，严格按照公司制定的SOP标准进行腌制，确保口味统一，当顾客下单后，门店员工将腌制好的冰鲜烤鸡放入定制化智能烤箱，烤箱预设定制化专属烤鸡模式，根据烤箱提示完成操作即可出餐。整个流程既保障了烤鸡的新鲜度与口味标准化，又提升了出餐效率，实现了"标准化生产"与"现做现吃"的完美平衡，成为绿茶深受消费者喜爱的核心原因之一。积极布局国际化市场 商业价值与盈利潜力不断提升在深耕本土市场、持续完善供应链体系的同时，绿茶积极布局国际化市场，开启"本土深耕+海外布局"的双轮驱动发展模式，逐步实现品牌的全球化布局。绿茶的出海布局并非偶然，而是具备深厚的基因与坚实的支撑，一方面，公司创始人王董在从事餐饮服务行业之前，拥有丰富的海外经商经验，深刻洞察到海外中餐市场的巨大潜力，出海基因深深烙印在品牌发展之中；另一方面，公司的战略投资者合众集团是一家总部位于瑞士的全球顶级私募投资管理公司，拥有深厚的全球化资源与海外市场运营经验，其全球化的海外背景为绿茶出海提供了强大的资源支持与专业指导，助力绿茶快速适应海外市场环境，降低出海风险。相较于其他中餐品牌，绿茶出海具备多方面独特优势，在菜品方面，绿茶以"中西融合"为核心定位，打造适配全球消费者口味的融合菜，使其菜品具备广泛的市场适应能力，多款核心菜品已深受海外消费者的喜爱；同时，绿茶拥有经验丰富的菜品研发团队，能够快速筛选、优化适配当地市场的菜品，加快品牌融入当地市场的速度。在门店环境与品牌文化层面，绿茶始终坚持将中国传统文化与江南水乡风格融入门店装修设计，打造兼具东方美学与舒适体验的用餐环境。随着中国文化自信的提升与海外市场对中国传统文化兴趣的持续升温，绿茶独特的装修风格与品牌形象，不仅吸引了大量消费者到店用餐，更收获了广泛的品牌关注，成为中国文化出海的重要载体之一。在运营管理方面，目前海外中餐市场缺乏成规模、标准化的大型连锁品牌，而绿茶作为国内休闲中餐赛道的头部连锁品牌，经过多年的发展，积累了丰富的运营经验，形成了完善的运营管理体系。这种成熟的运营管理能力，是海外中小型中餐品牌无法比拟的核心优势，为公司海外门店的快速复制与稳定运营提供了有力保障。作为绿茶国际化布局的起点，公司于2024年9月在中国香港开设首店后，开启国际化拓店的序幕；截至目前，绿茶已在中国香港及海外市场开设门店共计15家，覆盖中国香港、新加坡、马来西亚、泰国等国家和地区，初步完成了中国香港及东南亚市场的布局，品牌海外影响力逐步提升。值得注意的是，公司境外门店的盈利水平显著高于国内门店，其收入和利润规模往往是国内门店的2.5-3倍左右。以中国香港门店为例，其月均收入稳定在150万-200万的较高水平，门店层面经营利润率约为15%以上，充分体现了绿茶境外布局的商业价值与盈利潜力。未来，绿茶的国际化扩张步伐将持续加快，2026年至少新增开设15家海外门店，主要分布在马来西亚、越南等核心潜力市场国家，预计到2026年底，港澳台及海外门店总数将突破30家，实现规模化布局；同时，2026年的利润将有望占集团新增利润的20%，成为公司核心利润增长点之一，进一步推动公司整体业绩提升。总体而言，绿茶凭借行业领先的供应链体系，深厚的出海基因与独特的竞争优势，积极布局国际市场，打开了全新的成长空间。未来，在供应链持续赋能与国际化布局不断深化的双重优势加持下，公司将持续巩固行业龙头地位，实现本土市场与海外市场的协同发展，具备广阔的成长潜力与发展前景，有望成为引领中式餐饮全球化发展的标杆品牌。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.
