Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 17, 2026) - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) ("Founders" or the "Company") announces that it has been included in the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index ("MVGDXJ"), the underlying benchmark for the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF ("GDXJ"). Separately, the Company reports the commencement of diamond drilling at Antino North on its Antino Gold Project ("Antino" or "Project") in southeastern Suriname, with a second rig now being mobilized to the area (Figure 1).HighlightsGDXJ Index Inclusion: Founders Metals added to the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index in the Q1 2026 quarterly review, triggering passive buying from index-tracking ETFsMaiden Drilling at Antino North: First diamond drill rig now turning where field work has delineated ten parallel gold-bearing structures across a 4 km areaSecond Rig Mobilizing: A second diamond drill rig is being mobilized to test the multi-km historical auger gold anomaly in the east of Antino NorthSurface Results: Previously reported channel sampling at Antino North returned 20.0 m of 2.07 g/t Au including 7.0 m of 5.05 g/t AuAuger Sampling Progress: Founders has collected over 4000 auger samples to date in 2026Colin Padget, President & CEO, commented, "Our inclusion in the GDXJ index is a meaningful milestone for Founders and reflects the market's growing recognition of what we are building in the Guiana Shield and brings new passive and institutional capital into the stock.""On the ground, we are equally excited to be now drilling at Antino North. The shear zones we've mapped in the northwest offer numerous compelling first drill targets where this year's surface work has returned high-grade grab and channel results in geology similar to Upper Antino. With the scale of the new Antino North targets, we are also mobilizing a second rig that will initially test the large historical auger anomaly in the east. We see Antino North as having the potential to become a second centre of gravity within our expanding gold camp."About Founders Metals Inc.Founders Metals Inc. is a Canadian gold exploration company building a district-scale gold camp in southeastern Suriname.

SINGAPORE, Mar 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Wintermar’s Operating Profit for FY2025 jumped by 31% YOY to US$23.3, reflecting margin expansion through a better fleet mix. Core Profit increased by 19.2% YOY to US$18.Owned Vessel DivisionOwned vessel revenue rose by 13.8% YOY to US$70.7 million as gross margins for Owned Vessels widened to 41.7% for FY2025 compared to 36.1% in FY2024 despite softer charter rates and lower offshore activity in 2025. Utillization in 2025 was lower than 2024 arising from geopolitical concerns and the early stage of most drilling projects which are shorter term in nature. However, this was compensated by higher revenue from having more Dynamic Positioning (DP) equipped vessels. The Company operated a larger number of units of higher value vessels in FY2025.                Chartering Division and Other ServicesGross Profit from the Chartering Division continued to decline with a drop in contribution to US$0.5 million in FY2025 compared to US$1.4 million in FY2024. Some of the declines resulted from a strategic decision to move the Company towards a management fee based ship management business model for better scalability, where the Company now receives fees for various services which are recorded in the Other Services Division. Contribution from Other Services Division has increased by 9.3% YOY by US$0.2 million to US$2.8 million in FY2025.Direct Expenses and Gross Profit                  With a larger number of DP vessels in operation and more overseas contracts, total crewing costs rose by 10.5%YOY to US$11.4 million for FY2025. Depreciation rose accordingly by 10.4% YOY to US$14.8 million for FY2025 from the full year impact of the additions to the fleet in 2024. One PSV completed reactivation and became operational in 4Q2025. Operation expenses were slightly higher (+2.2%YOY) at US$5.2 million while maintenance costs fell by 2.9% YOY to US$7.3 million. Fuel bunker was significantly lower (-26%YOY) as idle vessels were berthed in Batam on shore power.By December 2025, there were 7 units of PSVs in operation, as compared to 5 units of operational PSVs at end 2024.  The Company purchased an additional PSV in late 2025 and she is being delivered to Indonesia and expected to be operational by 2H2026.Total Gross Profit rose by 24.1%YOY to US$32.7 million.Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitTotal Indirect Expenses rose by 10%YOY to US$9.4 million for FY2025. The largest increase in indirect expenses came from salary cost, in line with a building out of key technical and operations positions to prepare for scaling up the fleet. Salary expenses rose by 11.9% YOY to US$6.5 million for FY2025, as employee strength increased to 252 from 244. Marketing expenses rose by 17.2% YOY due to fees and commissions as well as bid bond expenses to participate in tenders. Investments in new subsidiaries added 12.6%YOY to office utility costs which amounted to US$0.6 million.As a result, Operating Profit for FY2025 jumped by 31%YOY to US$23.3 million in FY2025 compared to US$17.8 million in FY2024.Other Income, Expenses and Core Net ProfitCash flow from operations have increased due to better revenues and receivables collections, and the Company has also taken on more debt to refinance vessels. As a result, interest expenses rose by 83.5% YOY to US$2.1 million, while interest income doubled to US$1.0 million. The Company is still in a strong financial position with net cash. Associated companies contributed US$4.1 million (+71.5%YOY) from better business conditions.The sale of 2 older mid-tier vessels recorded a gain of US$3.5 million in total. This is much lower than the gain on sale of vessels in the previous year of US$16.1 million as there was a windfall profit in FY2024 from the sale of an older PSV. Total other income was US$7.4 million for FY2025 compared to US$19 million in FY2024.EBITDA for FY2025 increased by 21.8% YOY to US$38.4 milllion, reflecting a significant improvement in operations and cash generation ability of the Company.Stripping out gains on vessel sale, the underlying Core Net Profit attributable to shareholders was US$18.0 million, a jump of 19.2%YOY as compared to US$15.1 million in FY2024.The performance of the Company has contributed to EPS of Rp75.80 for FY2025 against Rp78.35 in FY2024.Industry OutlookThe heightened geopolitical risks in 2025 saw governments around the world prioritizing energy security over long term climate goals. The speed of adoption of Aritficial Inteligence (AI) in every field also accelerated the expansion of data centers, contributing significantly to the increasing demand for power. By late 2025, the International Energy Agency (IEA) revised up electricity demand growth to 3.7% in 2026, well in excess of average growth of 2.6%p.a. between 2015 to 2023.As a result of these changes, there has been an upward revision in total investment into oil and gas exploration in 2025 compared to 2024, in particular in deepwater drilling. This confirms our positive outlook for strong demand in OSV for the coming few years, particularly in DP equipped OSVs.In early 2026, the attacks on Iran and ensuing retaliation has disrupted oil and gas supplies coming from the Middle East, causing oil prices to spike. Should the Iran war escalate for a longer period, it is likely to trigger even more investment into exploration of new oil and gas reserves as energy nationalism becomes the new normal.Business ProspectsThe Company’s investment in additional fleet has improved the fleet composition and raised revenues and margins in the past year. Indonesia alone has 4 deepwater drilling projects which have been identified as strategic projects by the government and slated to start production between 2027 to 2030.  There will be longer term contracts awarded for these projects in the coming year as projects start to ramp up towards the second half of 2026.With stronger cash flow expected in 2026, management is looking to expand the dynamic positioning fleet, and cash will be deployed to fleet expansion, whether through direct purchases of vessels or corporate acquisitions. In 2025, total capex was US$41.7 million, while in FY2026, the Company is budgeting more than double that amount in anticipation of increased OSV demand. This will be funded by internal cash flow and bank loans.     Total contracts on hand as at end December 2025 amount to US$59.1 million.About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 48 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters.

San Jose, Costa Rica, Mar 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Zylo Ecosystem, a multi-product digital platform that combines trading, gaming products, and online services, has announced the launch of its native token ZYLO.The token will act as the crypto-economic layer of the Zylo ecosystem, connecting various platform products into a unified digital economy. At the same time, the project's primary focus remains the development of services for a broad audience, including users who are not part of the crypto community.Everyday Internet Users Remain at the Center of the EcosystemMany projects in the crypto industry are built around blockchain technologies from the start and primarily target the Web3 audience.This approach often limits growth, as such products tend to be understood mainly by users who are already familiar with cryptocurrencies.Zylo Ecosystem follows a different model.The ecosystem is designed so that its products are convenient and accessible for everyday internet users who use digital services, play mobile games, and interact with online platforms.Within this model, the ZYLO token becomes an additional crypto-economic tool that expands the ecosystem's capabilities without complicating the user experience.What the Zylo Ecosystem IncludesThe Zylo Ecosystem combines several directions that together form a unified digital and crypto economy.Trading InfrastructureOne of the key elements of the ecosystem is intrade.bar, a trading platform with many years of operational history and an established user community.Over time, the platform has built a strong presence in its niche within the CIS market and developed a stable user base.For most users, the platform remains a fully functional online service. The integration of the ZYLO token introduces additional opportunities within the trading infrastructure and expands the platform's economic model.Gaming Products and the GameFi DirectionGaming is also an important part of the Zylo ecosystem.Within the ecosystem, the CosmoFox project is being developed — a gaming universe that includes elements of collectibles and an in-game economy.At the same time, Fox Survivor is being developed as a mobile and web game in the roguelike survival / bullet-hell genre, where players fight waves of enemies, unlock characters, upgrade weapons, and progress through a meta-progression system.The games are designed as accessible products for a wide audience, while the ZYLO token introduces additional mechanics such as in-game rewards, rare items, premium features, and competitive modes between players.In certain gameplay scenarios, users will be able to participate in PvP battles, placing bets in ZYLO tokens. The winner receives the tokens staked in the match, creating an additional in-game economy and increasing player engagement.These mechanics generate additional token circulation within the gaming economy and create organic demand for the token from players.This approach forms a GameFi economy within the ecosystem, integrated into a broader digital platform.Digital ServicesIn addition to trading and gaming products, Zylo is also developing digital services, including VPN solutions and other online tools.These services add practical utility to the ecosystem and allow the ZYLO token to be used in real user scenarios.How the ZYLO Token WorksWithin the Zylo ecosystem, the token acts as a crypto-economic layer integrated into the platform's existing products.The token can be used for:purchases within the ecosystemgaming mechanics and rewardspremium featuresspecial conditions in trading servicespayments for digital servicesThe Zylo economy also includes deflationary mechanisms, where a portion of tokens is removed from circulation through various burn mechanisms.As the number of users and services within the ecosystem grows, demand for the token may increase alongside the expansion of its use cases.Cross-Product Ecosystem ModelOne of the key features of Zylo is its cross-product development model, where different products within the ecosystem strengthen each other.User activity in one service can create value in another. For example, gaming activity may unlock additional opportunities within the ecosystem, while participation in trading services may provide advantages in other products.This structure enables a more sustainable development model compared to projects built around a single product direction.Preparation for the First Exchange ListingZylo Ecosystem is currently in the final stage of preparation for the first exchange listing of the ZYLO token.The listing will represent an important step in integrating the ecosystem into the broader crypto market and expanding access to the token for the crypto community.At the same time, the project's strategy remains focused primarily on product development and user growth rather than on exchange activity alone.Founder's Comment"We are building products for a broad audience of internet users, not just for the crypto community," says Alex, founder of Zylo Ecosystem."The ZYLO token adds a crypto-economic layer to existing products and allows us to expand the ecosystem's capabilities without complicating the user experience."What's NextFollowing the token launch and the first exchange listing, the Zylo team continues developing the ecosystem, including:deeper integration of the token into trading infrastructureexpansion of the CosmoFox gaming economydevelopment of Fox Survivor gameplaylaunching new digital services and expanding them within the ecosystemAt the same time, Zylo is building an ecosystem accelerator, through which new startups will be able to connect to the project's infrastructure and integrate the ZYLO token into their products.About Zylo EcosystemZylo Ecosystem is a multi-product digital platform that combines trading services, gaming products, and online tools.The ecosystem is designed as a convenient digital environment for everyday users, while the ZYLO token forms a crypto-economic layer that connects different services and expands the platform's capabilities.This approach allows Zylo to combine the convenience of traditional online services with the possibilities of a Web3 economy.Social LinksX: https://x.com/Zylo_EcosystemTelegram Communication: https://x.com/cosmofoxgameTelegram Community: https://t.me/ZyloEcosystemCoinMarketCap: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/zylo-ecosystem/Medium: https://medium.com/zyloecosystemMedia contactBrand: ZyloContact: Media teamWebsite: http://zylo.io/ Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, Mar 16, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a world where living costs continue to rise, making your money work harder for you is a necessity. While a standard savings account offers a base interest rate, a bonus savings account allows you to earn higher interest by meeting specific conditions.By understanding the mechanics of these accounts, you can turn your idle cash into a productive asset. This article explores the features of these accounts and how they can help you reach your financial goals sooner.What is a Bonus Savings Account?A bonus savings account is a type of bank account that rewards you with higher interest rates when you meet specific conditions. Unlike a basic account that pays a flat, low rate regardless of your activity, these accounts are designed to encourage healthy financial habits.Generally, your total interest is split into two parts: base interest and bonus interest. The base interest is what you earn on every dollar, regardless of your activity. The bonus interest is an additional percentage added when you fulfil certain requirements, such as increasing your monthly balance or spending on a linked credit card.How a Bonus Savings Account Helps You Earn MoreThe primary appeal of a bonus savings account is the ability to earn interest rates that are often several times higher than standard savings accounts. Here is how they help you maximise your earnings:1. Rewarding Consistent Savers: Many accounts reward you for not spending your money. For example, some accounts offer bonus interest if your monthly average balance increases compared to the previous month. This encourages you to keep your funds in the account rather than withdrawing them for impulsive purchases, allowing compounding to work in your favour.2. Consolidating Your Financial Activities: Banks often use a bonus savings account to reward loyalty. You might earn extra interest by linking your salary credit or meeting a minimum spend on the bank's credit cards. By centring your financial activities around one account, you can unlock higher tiers of interest than with a basic savings plan.3. Tiered Interest Structures: Most bonus accounts use a tiered system. This means that as your balance grows, the interest rate on specific brackets of your funds increases. This structure is particularly beneficial for those with growing savings, as it allows larger balances to earn higher rates.Common Requirements to Unlock Bonus InterestTo make the most of a bonus savings account, you need to understand the typical requirements. Banks in Singapore usually look for the following:Balance Growth: Maintaining or increasing your balance month on month.Salary Credit: Having your monthly take-home pay credited directly into the account via your employer.Spend Requirements: Using a linked debit or credit card for a minimum amount (often SGD 500) each month.Investing or Insuring: Purchasing eligible insurance or investment products through the bank.Is a Bonus Savings Account Right for You?While the high interest rates are attractive, a bonus savings account is most effective when it aligns with your natural spending and saving habits.If you are someone who saves a portion of your income every month and rarely withdraws from your reserves, an account that rewards balance growth is an excellent fit. However, if you prefer an account that doesn't require you to track credit card spending or investment tiers, you may want to consider a simpler savings account.Strategies to Maximise Your InterestTo ensure you never miss out on your bonus interest, consider these simple steps:Automate Your Savings: Set up a standing instruction to move a fixed amount into your bonus savings account every month. This ensures your balance grows consistently without you having to remember to do it manually.Track Your Monthly Average Balance: Be mindful of the mid-month balance rather than just the balance on the last day of the month. Large withdrawals in the middle of the month may lower your average balance.Consolidate Spending: If your account requires a minimum card spend, try to put all your essential costs, such as groceries, transport, and utilities, on that specific card to hit the target easily.Final ThoughtsA bonus savings account can be a useful tool for improving returns on your cash savings. It transforms the act of saving from a passive habit into a rewarding strategy. By choosing an account that fits your lifestyle and staying disciplined with the requirements, you can help your hard-earned money grow at a higher rate.Disclaimer: This article is for general information only and does not have any regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any specific person.

Amid the broader trend of consumption upgrading, the menswear market is undergoing structural differentiation, with mid-to-high-end segments such as business casual and smart casual becoming core growth drivers. The industry is accelerating its transition from 'quantity-driven competition' towards a stage of high-quality competition centered on 'innovation, quality and sustainable development. China Lilang deepened its presence in the menswear market with its differentiated brand matrix, building a diversified business portfolio through the 'LILANZ' core collection, the 'LESS IS MORE' smart casual collection and the 'MUNSINGWEAR' sports line, to comprehensively meet market demand for high-quality, diverse apparel.

Revenue from the smart casual and other collections surged by 28.4%, primarily driven by a significant increase in average sales per store and the outstanding performance of new retail channels. Revenue from the core collection grew by 6.0%, mainly due to the initial operational efficiencies generated during the year following the Group's transition to a DTC model after reclaiming distribution rights from distributors starting last year.Gross profit margin increased by 1.9 percentage points year-on-year to 49.6%, mainly due to the increase in average unit price as a result of a higher proportion of direct-to-retail sales, coupled with a smaller one-off deduction from revenue arising from the recovery of distribution rights.

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Mar 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS”, or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that on 13 March 2026, new drug for renal anaemia Desidustat Tablets (the “Product”) has been approved for marketing in China by the National Medical Products Administration of the People’s Republic of China (NMPA). The Product is a novel, oral HypoxiaInducible Factor-Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitor (HIF-PHI) for treating anaemia in non-dialysis adult, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients.The approval of Desidustat Tablets will further strengthen the Group’s overall layout in the field of nephrology, and synergize with the marketed innovative drug Velphoro (Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablets, indicated for CKD hyperphosphatemia). Through the efficient linkage of nephrology expert resources and channel networks, the Group is expected to rapidly promote the large-scale clinical application of Desidustat Tablets, providing differentiated treatment options for Chinese CKD patients with renal anaemia and making a positive contribution to the Group’s performance.More information about Desidustat Tablets and Renal AnaemiaAs a novel oral HIF-PHI, the Product’s mechanism of action promotes erythropoiesis through increasing endogenous erythropoietin, improving iron availability and reducing hepcidin. Its China Phase III clinical trial has demonstrated positive results. The primary endpoint of the haemoglobin (Hb) mean change from baseline to Week 7-9 has indicated that, Desidustat is more effective than placebo in increasing Hb level. Results from the extension study demonstrate that the Product can maintain Hb level within the target range over the long term with acceptable safety. In addition, the Product significantly reduces hepcidin levels and ameliorates iron metabolism disorders.There is still a large unmet need in the treatment of anaemia in CKD patients in China. It is estimated that there are more than 120 million CKD patients in China[1]. Anaemia is one of the frequent complications of CKD, which exhibits a progressively increasing incidence with disease progression. A survey in China showed that the prevalences of anaemia in patients at CKD stage 1 to 5 were 22.0%, 37.0%, 45.4%, 85.1%, and 98.2%, respectively[2]. The target-achieving rate (the Hb level reaching the target value (110~120g / L)) has increased to 51.5% for haemodialysis CKD patients with anaemia[3], but is still only 8.2% for anaemia patients in non-dialysis CKD[4]. The Product is administrated orally, thus expecting to improve the treatment compliance of patients and to meet the unmet treatment needs in the field of CKD anaemia.Desidustat Tablets have been approved for marketing in India.CMS INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT LIMITED, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, obtained an exclusive license for the Product from Zydus Lifesciences Limited (earlier known as Cadila Healthcare Limited) pursuant to a License Agreement with an effective date of 20 January 2020.The Group adheres to its core strategy of “innovation-driven”, having established a tiered and multi-dimensional innovation product portfolio with abundant reserves: 7 new drugs have been approved for marketing, 6 are currently under marketing review, and nearly 20 projects are about to initiate or are progressing through clinical trials.

HONG KONG, Mar 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – CITIC Resources Holdings Limited (hereinafter referred to as CITIC Resources or the Company, or the Group when its subsidiaries are included; Stock Code: 1205.HK) has announced its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”). During the Year, the Group actively responded to the complex international environment and cyclical industry pressures. Systematically advancing initiatives in “upstream asset deployment, expansion of trading business, and enhancement of production and operations”, the Group deepened its dual-engine development model of “investment + trading”, stabilised its core operations, cultivated a second growth curve, and demonstrated robust operational and developmental resilience.As a key growth driver for the Group, the oil and gas trading business within the import and export segment expanded steadily during the Year, achieving a significant milestone with a trading volume exceeding 20.0 million barrels and revenue reaching approximately HK$11.34 billion. Meanwhile, the Group broke the long-standing monopoly of the sales channel of crude oil, enhancing the market value of its oil and gas properties. In the non-oil-and-gas business, the Group consistently prioritises refined and proactive management of its equity investments as a core task and actively conveyed its philosophy of improving quality and enhancing efficiency to the operators. Notably, the value of shares held in Aloca Corporation (“Aloca”) increased by approximately 46.3% during the Year. On the oil and gas front, focusing on refined reservoir management and continuous scientific research breakthroughs, the Group achieved stable production and increased reserves. It comprehensively deepened lean management throughout the production process, coupled with the implementation of cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancement measures, propelled continuous improvements in management standards and operational efficiency across all phases of oil and gas projects from exploration, development to production.During the Year, the Group achieved revenue of approximately HK$14.96 billion (2024: approximately HK$9.50 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 57.6%. Impacted by factors such as a decline in the average selling price of crude oil and coal, and higher raw material costs, profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company amounted to approximately HK$0.17 billion (2024: HK$0.57 billion). Despite that, all of the Group’s segments recorded profits for the Year and the Group continued to maintain a strong financial position with cash and deposits of approximately HK$3.52 billion as at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: HK$2.03 billion). As at 31 December 2025, the Group had total assets of approximately HK$14.61 billion, and net assets attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$8.79 billion. The gearing ratio and interest-bearing debt ratio were approximately 38.8% and 23.5% respectively, with a return on equity (annualised) of approximately 2.0%.As part of its efforts to optimise its asset structure, the Group disposed of shares in Alcoa in January and March 2026, totalling approximately 2.17% of Alcoa’s total issued shares[1]. By seizing the opportunity to monetise its investment at a high valuation, the Group continues to create greater value for its shareholders.Mr. Hao Weibao, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CITIC Resources, said: “Looking ahead to 2026, the Group will focus on key areas such as the development, production and trading of oil and gas, as well as investments in the aluminum industry chain, deepen synergies among trading, investment and production management, and continue to implement the business strategy of consolidating the existing core business and pursuing dual-engine expansion through ‘investment + trading’.To consolidate our existing principal business, the Group will continue to enhance lean production and operational management to increase reserves and output, while steadily expanding production and sales scale. The Group will also intensify the introduction and application of new processes and technologies, leveraging technological innovation to empower high-quality development of our core businesses and reinforce our core growth foundation.On the dual-engine driver of ‘investment + trading’ expansion front, the Group will continue to track and position in high-quality oil and gas assets and the aluminium-centric key metals industry chain. Trading operations and investment projects will be deeply integrated: the investment arm will secure equity resources, while the trading arm will achieve market-oriented sales. This approach will also enhance our market sensitivity, enabling us to identify and acquire high-quality upstream resources and assets, thereby creating a virtuous cycle in which ‘investment acquires resources and trading converts value’. The Group is committed to implementing these development strategies and will continue to deliver long-term and stable returns to our shareholders.”[1]Details regarding the disposal were disclosed in the announcements and circular dated 16 January, 6 February, and 5 March.For details of CITIC Resources’ 2025 annual results, please refer to the Group’s annual results announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Group’s website.About CITIC Resources Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 1205.HK)CITIC Resources Holdings Limited has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 1997.
