CleverTap and Rabbit Rewards win Silver at Thailand MarTech Awards 2026 for real-time, agentic customer engagement

MUMBAI, INDIA, May 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CleverTap, the all-in-one customer engagement platform, has won Silver at the Thailand MarTech Awards 2026 in the Impact MarTech category, in partnership with Rabbit Rewards, the loyalty and lifestyle platform for Bangkok’s BTS Skytrain and a widely used commuter ecosystem in Southeast Asia.The recognition highlights how CleverTap and Rabbit Rewards have transformed customer engagement by building a real-time, agentic engagement model powered by autonomous decisioning, designed to serve millions of commuters in a high-frequency environment.Rabbit Rewards operates at the intersection of daily commuting, payments, and lifestyle services, where user behavior shifts constantly based on routine, timing, and location. Traditional campaign-led approaches, built on static segmentation and fixed schedules, were unable to keep pace and often resulted in delayed or irrelevant engagement.To address this, Rabbit Rewards partnered with CleverTap to implement a real-time decisioning layer that continuously interprets live behavior and determines the next best action for each user.With CleverAI™, and its suite of tools — including IntelliNODE and Best Time Optimization among others — Rabbit Rewards deployed trigger-based, omnichannel journeys across push notifications, in-app messaging, email, and SMS. These journeys span onboarding, renewals, promotions, and re-engagement, and adapt continuously to commuter behavior.The shift to real-time, behavior-led engagement delivered clear, measurable outcomes:85% uplift in click-through rates (CTR)62.6% week-4 repeat transactions among engaged users, compared to 18.7% for non-engaged users2.4% of total transactions directly influenced by CleverTap-powered engagementBeyond these results, Rabbit Rewards significantly improved the quality of customer engagement. Communication became more timely, contextual, and aligned with commuter needs, strengthening trust and positioning the platform as a more intuitive, lifestyle-oriented companion for daily users.“Our vision has always been to make everyday commuting more seamless, rewarding, and relevant for our users. Through our partnership with CleverTap, we have successfully transitioned from traditional campaign execution to a real-time engagement model that understands and responds to commuter behavior in the moment.CleverAI™ has enabled us to deliver more personalized and timely experiences at scale, strengthening both customer engagement and long-term loyalty. This collaboration goes beyond technology — it is about ensuring Rabbit Rewards shows up for our members in ways that feel personal, timely, and genuinely useful throughout their daily journeys,” said Kamolwan Korphaisarn, Program Director, Rabbit Rewards“Enterprises today sit on a surplus of data, but turning those data points into timely, meaningful action remains a big challenge. With CleverAI™, we’re enabling brands to move beyond static campaigns to intelligent systems that continuously interpret behavior, determine the next best action, and deliver truly personalized experiences in real time. Our work with Rabbit Rewards shows how this approach drives stronger engagement while enabling seamless, context-aware customer journeys at the scale of the individual,” said Anand Jain, Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer, CleverTap.About Rabbit RewardsRabbit Rewards is Thailand’s leading loyalty and lifestyle platform built around Bangkok’s BTS Skytrain ecosystem, one of Southeast Asia’s busiest urban transit networks serving millions of daily commuters.The platform connects commuting, payments, and everyday lifestyle experiences into a single ecosystem, enabling members to access rewards, offers, and partner benefits across Bangkok.As part of BTS Group Holdings, Rabbit Rewards serves a diverse member base ranging from daily riders and students to tourists and lifestyle-focused members, making it a deeply embedded companion in Bangkok’s urban lifestyle.Rabbit Rewards continues to evolve its customer engagement capabilities to deliver more contextual, real-time experiences that align with the rhythm of everyday commuting and lifestyle needs.For more information, visit rabbitrewards.co.thAbout CleverTapCleverTap is the world’s leading AI-first, all-in-one customer engagement and retention platform, helping brands turn data into lasting customer relationships.

HONG KONG, May 11, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The fifth International Healthcare Week (IHW), organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), opens today, featuring two flagship events. The sixth Asia Summit on Global Health (ASGH) is being held today and tomorrow (11 and 12 May) at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) under the theme “Fuelling Healthcare Breakthroughs”. The summit convenes over 90 influential international healthcare officials, research and medical experts, start-ups, investors, and business leaders from related industries to explore global healthcare trends, with a focus on frontier technologies, AI breakthroughs, pandemic preparedness, silver health, as well as innovation in Chinese medicine, in alignment with the National 15th Five-Year Plan. Another flagship event, the 17th Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair (Medical Fair), also opens today (11 to 13 May) under the theme “Innovations Boosting Smart Health Experience”, featuring some 300 exhibitors from 10 countries and regions. The Fair spotlights MedTech, GeronTech and Preventive Healthcare, showcasing the latest medical innovations integrating artificial intelligence and robotics, fostering global exchange in healthcare innovation and reinforcing Hong Kong’s strengths as a research and commercial hub.Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC, said in his welcome remarks: “There is nowhere better than Hong Kong, as a major international hub for financing and innovation, to explore areas of global collaboration in the health arena, and to showcase related business opportunities for investors and project owners. As a superconnector and super value-adder, Hong Kong has a long track record of helping companies and innovations break through. The theme we have adopted this year, ‘Fuelling Healthcare Breakthroughs’, highlights this vital role. The ASGH was created to nurture partnerships and knowledge exchange that can drive real change and create a better world. This year’s agenda also complements the healthcare priorities set out in China’s new 15th Five-Year Plan, supporting national development. Among the diverse topics at ASGH 2026 are sessions examining AI-enabled diagnosis and treatment, biomedical innovation, the growth of the silver health economy, traditional Chinese medicine and much more.”John Lee, Chief Executive of the HKSAR, said in his opening remarks: “Hong Kong, under the ‘one country, two systems’ principle, is investing in healthcare and, in doing so, investing in the future of our people and our economy. Our status as a leading hub for scientific innovation is unrivalled in Asia. And our strengths are magnified by our core position in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. That is the cluster city development integrating 11 dynamic cities in southern China. It boasts a collective economy that rivals that of the world's 10th-largest nation. In pursuit of medical innovation, Hong Kong complements the strategies set out in the National 15th Five-Year Plan. The Plan optimises an evaluation and approval mechanism for innovative drugs and supports their clinical application. The goal is to develop Hong Kong into a health and medical innovation hub. Central to this ambition is the rapid expansion of our clinical trial capabilities, the vital engine that drives biomedical R&D from the laboratory to the bedside.”Prof Zeng Yixin, Vice Minister of the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, delivered special remarks: “Hong Kong has extensive experience in undergraduate medical education and post-graduate training, and enjoys a strong reputation in the Asia-Pacific region. Medical talent training system on the mainland is also undergoing deep reforms and striving to move towards high-quality development. Hong Kong has many experiences and practices that are worthy of in-depth exchange and reference, which will certainly promote mutual enhancement and progress.”Global leaders convene to explore collaboration opportunitiesThis morning’s Plenary Session I: Strengthening Pandemic Preparedness through Global Collaboration, featured keynote speech by Prof Lo Chung-mau, Secretary for Health of the HKSAR government, who said: “Hong Kong has long been recognised for the quality and efficiency of our healthcare system. We consistently rank at the top of global health indices, with a life expectancy that remains among the highest in the world, with women over 88 years and men about 83 years in 2024. Our public healthcare system serves as a robust safety net, ensuring universal health coverage for all at a very low cost. The National 15th Five-Year Plan calls for a health-first development strategy. Hong Kong is fully aligned and will continue to contribute to this national vision through our work in pandemic preparedness and medical innovation.”Prof Leo Poon, Daniel C K Yu Professor in Virology at the School of Public Health of the University of Hong Kong and Co-Director of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Global Health Institute, moderated the session.

Hidden Champion of Five-axis Machine Tools Breaks Foreign Monopoly!

HONG KONG, May 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shanghai Top Numerical Control Technology Co., Ltd. (“TopNC” or the “Company”) has officially initiated its IPO process, with plans to commence trading on May 20. It is set to become the “First Chinese Commercial Aerospace Stock” in the Hong Kong stock market. This IPO is jointly sponsored by Guotai Junan International and CCB International. RBC, 3W, Boyu, HHLRA, CDH, TT International, Mirae Asset, GSAM etc. serve as a cornerstone investor. The company plans to globally offer approximately 65,330,000 shares. The share price is set at HK$26.39 per share, with total proceeds expected to reach approximately HK$1.7 billion. As an absolute leader in China’s aviation and aerospace five-axis CNC machine tool sector, TopNC has cultivated the high-end industrial machine tool field for twenty years. It is deeply integrated into national strategic projects such as the C919 large aircraft and Long March carrier rockets, marking a milestone in the domestic substitution of high-end manufacturing.Founded in 2007, TopNC was led and established by Dr. Wang Yuhan, an associate professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Headquartered in Shanghai, the Company is a national-level key “Little Giant” enterprise and a “Specialized, Fined, Peculiar and Innovative” SME. The Company focuses on the R&D, production, and sales of high-end intelligent manufacturing equipment, with five-axis CNC machine tools at its core. While its products focus on core aviation and aerospace scenarios, they also extend to general industries such as automotive, energy, medical, shipbuilding, and mould manufacturing.The most iconic breakthrough for TopNC was the successful development of the dual five-axis mirror milling machine tool prototype in 2016. This made China the third country in the world, after France and Spain, to master this technology, breaking the long-term technical blockade by Europe, the U.S., and Japan. Since then, the Company’s product line has been incorporated into the manufacturing systems of the C919 large aircraft and the Long March series carrier rockets, covering core equipment links for China’s full range of rocket manufacturing.According to the CIC Report, TopNC ranked first in China’s aviation and aerospace five-axis CNC machine tool market in 2025 with a market share of 10.0%. As high-end industrial machine tools, five-axis CNC machine tools are a core symbol of a nation’s manufacturing strength. The market size is expected to grow from RMB 12.9 billion in 2025 to RMB 31.9 billion in 2030, with a CAGR of 19.8%. A more critical shift is occurring at the localization level: the market share of domestic suppliers has increased from 18.0% in 2020 to 59.5% in 2025, and is projected to exceed 78.0% by 2030. The scarcity value of TopNC is reflected in a triple barrier: first, a high technical barrier, with core technologies covering precision mechanical design, CNC systems, intelligent measurement and control, and process software ; second, an independent and controllable supply chain with a high localization rate of core components ; third, a strong customer barrier, having established over ten years of cooperative relationships with mainstream domestic aviation and aerospace groups, deeply binding with the “national team”.In terms of financial data, TopNC’s growth curve shows a strong acceleration trend. In FY2025, the Group recorded a significant increase in newly secured contract value amounting to RMB 693.6 million. The Company’s current project backlog is approximately RMB 680 million, a substantial increase compared to the same period last year, providing strong revenue certainty and a solid guarantee for sustained high performance growth in the future.Operational quality has simultaneously achieved a qualitative breakthrough. From 2023 to 2025, TopNC’s revenue grew from RMB 334.6 million to RMB 578.0 million. On the profit side, the Company’s adjusted net loss was RMB 61.0 million in 2023, and it successfully achieved a turnaround in 2024 with a net profit of RMB 6.9 million. In FY2025, despite increased R&D expenses, the Company maintained a profitable state with a net profit of RMB 1.6 million.Even more noteworthy is that the Company’s net cash flows from operating activities turned positive in FY2025, recording a net inflow of approximately RMB 25.4 million. This indicates that TopNC has overcome the long-term cash flow “hemorrhage” dilemma commonly faced by high-end equipment enterprises, successfully achieving self-sustaining capabilities. The positive operating cash flow, combined with a gross profit margin maintained at a high level of 35.4% in 2025, collectively confirms that the Company has entered a virtuous development cycle of “scale expansion — profit growth — cash recovery”.From the business structure perspective, TopNC’s core revenue is highly concentrated in the aviation and aerospace intelligent manufacturing equipment sector. In FY2025, this segment generated revenue of RMB 512.4 million, accounting for 88.7% of total revenue. Meanwhile, the Company is accelerating the development of its second growth curve: compact general industrial five-axis machine tools contributed RMB 39.4 million in revenue in 2025, with sales volume increasing from 3 units in 2023 to 32 units. Large-span carbon fiber composite five-axis machine tools achieved a commercial breakthrough in 2025, with 6 units sold for a revenue of RMB 24.4 million. The Company is the world’s first and only manufacturer to achieve commercial sales of machine tools that fully apply carbon fiber composite materials across all moving parts. This technology has a significant barrier and is adapted for cutting-edge scenarios such as low-altitude economy drone frames and large lightweight aerospace components, with a steadily expanding growth space.The successful IPO is an important milestone, representing capital market recognition of TopNC’s twenty years of technical accumulation, and marks the beginning of a new development stage. With the support of the capital market and the empowerment of high-quality investors, TopNC will further strengthen its resource integration capabilities, accelerate the domestic substitution process of high-end five-axis CNC machine tools, and continue to consolidate its leading position in technology and the market, solidifying the foundation for long-term growth and expanding into even broader development spaces. The Company will continue to reinforce independent R&D of core technologies at a faster pace and with deeper strategic investment, drive the iterative upgrading of its five-axis CNC machine tool product system, actively participate in building an independent and controllable high-end manufacturing system in China, and work with ecological partners to explore the vast prospects of aviation, aerospace, and general high-end manufacturing.

Smart Ways to Organise Payments for Better Rewards and Everyday Savings

SINGAPORE, May 11, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Managing daily expenses can feel overwhelming, especially when bills, subscriptions, and lifestyle spending happen across different platforms. However, organising payments strategically using credit cards and cashbacks, and structured spending habits can help unlock better control, higher cashback, and long-term savings. In Singapore, where digital payments are widely accepted, aligning expenses smartly can help turn routine spending into value-earning opportunities.Unplanned spending often results in missed reward opportunities and unnecessary fees. When payments are scattered across multiple methods, tracking expenses becomes difficult, and potential cashback categories may go underutilised.In 2023, the average monthly household expenditure in Singapore was SGD 5,931. When monthly recurring payments are aligned under suitable cards, even a modest cashback rate of 1.5-5% can add up meaningfully over time.If you are looking to make the best use of your cashback credit cards and maximise your savings, here are some tips that you might find useful.Understand your monthly spending categoriesBefore selecting or using credit cards strategically, it helps to map out where money is being spent each month. This exercise can help distinguish between fixed recurring expenses and flexible lifestyle spending. With digital payments now a common part of daily life, small expenses can add up quickly without you noticing.Typical monthly spending categories may include groceries, transport, dining, utilities, mobile bills, insurance premiums, and online shopping. On average, Singaporeans spend around SGD 455 per month on food and groceries alone and an additional SGD 128 per month on public transport.When these categories are clearly defined, it is easier to identify which expenses qualify for cashback and which do not.Match the right Credit Card to the right expenseDifferent credit cards are designed to reward different types of spending. Some cards focus heavily on dining and entertainment, while others provide higher cashback on groceries, transport, or online purchases.For example, one card may offer 5% cashback on dining capped at SGD 50 monthly, while another provides 3-4% on online shopping and subscriptions. When all expenses are charged randomly to a single card, these benefits may remain underutilised.Assigning specific cards to specific expense categories can help structure spending without increasing it. This method allows users to stay within cashback limits, reduce confusion, and improve the efficiency of rewards across everyday transactions.Automate recurring bills for consistent cashbackAutomating recurring payments can help maintain consistency in both budgeting and cashback accumulation. Many essential services support automatic card payments, including utilities, broadband, mobile plans, and digital subscriptions.Automation also reduces the risk of missed due dates and late payment fees.Use cashback earned in practical waysCashback earned through credit card usage can be more useful when applied intentionally rather than treated as incidental savings. Instead of viewing it as extra money, cashback can help offset regular expenses and improve monthly cash flow. When planned properly, even small amounts earned each month can support everyday budgeting.Some practical ways cashback may be used include:Offsetting utility or telco billsHousehold expenses such as electricity, water, mobile, and broadband form a significant portion of regular monthly spending. Cashback credited to the card statement can reduce these fixed expenses directly, helping stabilise monthly outflow.Reducing grocery spendingUsing cashback to offset statement balances can help cover weekly grocery and essentials from supermarkets, easing the impact of rising grocery costs.Covering transport expensesMRT travel, ride-hailing services, and fuel expenses can be a big expense if not planned well. Cashback can be redirected towards SimplyGo top-ups or occasional Grab rides, helping manage daily commute costs.Supporting annual or seasonal expensesAccumulated cashback from payments may help offset insurance premiums, travel bookings, or festive shopping, reducing the pressure of large one-time payments. Used consistently, cashback can quietly strengthen everyday financial planning without changing spending habits.Align large purchases with reward periodsLarger purchases, such as electronics, furniture, or travel bookings, can sometimes be planned around bank promotional periods. In Singapore, many credit card providers run limited-time campaigns during events like the Great Singapore Sale, year-end holidays, or major online shopping festivals. During these periods, users may receive additional cashback, higher reward caps, or bonus returns on select categories, subject to promotional terms and conditions.Aligning such spending with promotional windows can help convert unavoidable costs into reward-generating transactions. Over time, this approach can support better savings outcomes while keeping overall spending controlled.Final thoughtsOrganising payments thoughtfully can help transform daily expenses into meaningful rewards. By aligning spending categories, automating bill payments, tracking spending limits, and using cashback strategically, Singapore consumers may find greater value in routine transactions.While results vary based on lifestyle and spending patterns, a structured approach can help create clarity, flexibility, and small yet steady savings over time. With the right planning, cashback and credit cards can become practical tools that support smarter money management rather than complicate it.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

How to Travel More Often Without Increasing Your Budget

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Travelling more frequently does not always require a bigger income or a higher monthly spend. With thoughtful planning and smarter use of financial tools, travel expenses can be managed in a way that feels more sustainable. For many people in Singapore, using a miles credit card can help turn everyday spending into future travel opportunities.When used carefully, miles earned from regular expenses may gradually reduce flight and travel costs, making short getaways and annual holidays more achievable without stretching the budget. In a city like Singapore, where flights to nearby destinations such as Bangkok, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, and Tokyo are common, earning more miles can bring your next destinations within reach.Understanding How Travel Miles WorkTravel miles are reward points earned when you spend on eligible cards, particularly miles-focused credit cards. These miles can later be redeemed for flights, seat upgrades, or travel-related perks, depending on the airline or rewards programme.In Singapore, many miles credit cards offer earning rates ranging from 1.2 to 1.6 miles per SGD 1 spent locally, while overseas spending can go up to 2 to 4 miles per SGD 1. This means a monthly expense of around SGD 2,000 could generate approximately 2,400 to 3,200 miles, depending on the card and category.How Using a Miles Credit Card Can Help Reduce Travel CostsEarning miles on everyday expensesDaily costs, such as groceries, petrol, mobile bills, streaming subscriptions, and dining, can earn miles when charged to the right card. For example, a household spending around SGD 1,500-2,500 monthly on routine expenses may slowly build enough miles for a regional return flight within a year.However, it is important to know that different miles credit cards reward spending in different ways. Some offer higher miles on everyday categories like dining, groceries, or online shopping, while others give bonus miles on travel-related spending such as flights, hotels, or overseas transactions. There are also general spending cards that let you steadily earn miles on most purchases.Choosing a card that matches your spending habits can help you turn everyday expenses into miles for future trips.Reducing airfare expenses through redemptionsRedeeming miles for flights may help reduce ticket prices significantly. A return economy flight from Singapore to Bangkok may require around 25,000-30,000 miles. You can use your miles to partially or fully cover airfare, and the remaining budget can be put toward hotels or experiences.Lowering upgrade and comfort costsMiles can also be used for seat upgrades. Instead of paying cash for premium economy or business class, travellers may use miles to improve comfort, especially on long-haul routes.Strategic Ways to Earn Miles Faster in SingaporeFocusing on high-mile categoriesSome cards offer bonus miles on dining, online shopping, ride-hailing, or travel bookings. Using these cards for those categories may increase earning rates from around 1.2 miles per dollar on general spending to as much as 4 miles per dollar. On a SGD 800 dining and online spend, earning 4 miles per dollar instead of 1.2 can result in over 2,000 extra miles per month.Timing big purchases thoughtfullyExpenses such as annual insurance premiums, electronics, furniture, or education fees can be timed during promotional periods. Banks in Singapore often run limited-time campaigns offering 5x to 10x miles or bonus mile packages, which may accelerate mile accumulation without increasing total spending.Using sign-up and retention bonuses wiselyMany miles credit cards offer welcome bonuses ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on minimum spend. When planned well, these bonuses can cover a significant portion of a flight ticket redemption and support more frequent travel plans.Making the Most of Miles RedemptionsBooking flights early for better valueAward seats are limited, especially during school holidays and festive periods. Planning trips three to six months ahead may provide better redemption availability and lower mileage requirements.Comparing cash prices versus miles usageSometimes, budget airline fares from Singapore can be as low as SGD 80-150, serving more value for longer distances. Comparing cents-per-mile value helps ensure miles are used where they make the most impact.Using miles for one-way travelRedeeming miles for one-way flights can provide flexibility. Travellers might use miles for departure and cash for return or vice versa.Planning Travel Around Miles Instead of DatesChoosing destinations based on redemption valueSelecting destinations based on miles availability can help maintain a steady travel rhythm throughout the year. Southeast Asian destinations, for example, often provide higher value per mile compared to long-haul routes.Flying during off-peak periodsAvoiding school holidays and major public holidays may require fewer miles and save 10-20% on mileage costs, enabling more trips using the same balance.Managing Costs Beyond FlightsUsing travel perks included with miles credit cardsMany cards in Singapore offer complimentary travel insurance, airport lounge access, and dining discounts. These benefits can reduce out-of-pocket costs that would otherwise add several hundred dollars per trip.Pairing miles with hotel dealsBooking hotels during flash sales, credit card promotions, or through airline hotel partners may further reduce travel expenses. Savings of SGD 100-300 per stay can significantly impact overall trip budgeting.Travelling More Without Spending MoreA miles credit card, when used responsibly, can help convert routine expenses into future travel opportunities. By understanding earning structures, planning redemptions carefully, and staying flexible with destinations and travel dates, Singapore-based travellers can make travel a regular part of life rather than an occasional luxury. With patience and mindful usage, miles can quietly add up-one grocery bill, one meal, and one monthly expense at a time-helping turn travel dreams into achievable plans.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

How to Clear the Strait of Hormuz from the Air: UMag Solutions Launches F1Mag(R) – an Unmanned Solution for Rapid Naval Mine Detection and Anti-Submarine Warfare

Birkerod, Denmark, May 7, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - F1Mag® extends UMag's drone-based magnetic sensing portfolio with a high-speed, airborne system for real-time detection of naval mines and submarines in open-sea environments, covering up to 6,000 hectares per hour, without placing marine vessels and personnel at risk.Why this matters nowAs Iranian sea mines remain unaccounted for in the Strait of Hormuz, NATO's Baltic Sentry mission scales up patrols of subsea infrastructure, and Black Sea drift mines continue to threaten civilian shipping, UMag Solutions today launches F1Mag®, an airborne magnetic sensing system that lets defence operators detect naval mines, submarines and uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) from the air - at speeds of up to 120 km/h, without deploying anything into the water.After more than a year of testing with both naval and army units, F1Mag® is now officially launched. F1Mag® can be mounted on any drone and flown over the area of interest. It detects the magnetic threats below the sea surface such as moored and bottom mines, submarines, UUVs, and other metal objects, and delivers the data in real time. The sensitivity of F1Mag® allows operators to scan for naval mines down to 15-30m below the sea surface and submarines at depths of 500+ metres."We designed F1Mag® for the subsea threats that define modern warfare. The need to detect those threats at high speed, with accurate real-time data and without putting people or equipment in the water, or having marine vessel nearby, has never been greater. UMag Solutions has already used F1Mag® to track submarines and UUVs and to find naval mines in open sea.""Because it operates from the air, F1Mag® is far less dependent on weather, sea state or vessel support. It is unaffected by sea ice, muddy waters or boundary layers in the water column" says Arne Døssing Andreasen, CEO and Co-Founder of UMag Solutions.Naval mines and quiet submarines have re-emerged as some of the most cost-effective and politically disruptive weapons in modern conflict. A single mine or even the credible suspicion of one is enough to spike insurance premiums, reroute global trade and force navies into weeks of painstaking clearance operations.The threat landscape, region by region:Strait of Hormuz: roughly 20% of global seaborne oil and a quarter of LNG trade transits this chokepoint. Iranian mine-laying activity since early 2026 has produced an active clearance campaign and reports that even the mine-layers have lost track of what was deployed. Proving the absence of a mine is now harder than finding one.Baltic Sea: a string of cable, pipeline and power-link incidents since 2022 has put NATO's Baltic Sentry mission on permanent watch. Shallow waters, heavy traffic and deniable "shadow fleet" vessels make rapid, wide-area subsea screening essential.Black Sea: drifting mines from the Russia-Ukraine war continue to wash through the basin and into the approaches of the Bosphorus.South China Sea & Indo-Pacific: hardening submarine activity, contested island chains and dense undersea cable infrastructure raise the cost of any future mining campaign.Mediterranean & wider littorals: legacy UXO deployment continues demand for fast, scalable mine and anomaly detection.Conventional mine countermeasures (MCM) rely on surface ships, divers and tethered or UUVs - slow, exposed, weather-dependent and limited by sea state, ice and turbid water. F1Mag® flips that model: the sensor is in the air, the operator is on shore or aboard the host vessel, and the survey speed is measured in hectares per hour, not square metres.What F1Mag® doesNaval mine detection (MCM): 30-70 hectares per hour, with the sensitivity to map mines 15-30 m below the sea surface.Anti-submarine warfare (ASW): up to 1,000-6,000 hectares per hour and several hundreds meters of depth, suitable for wide-area screening of chokepoints, bastions and approach lanes.All-Environment Detection: unaffected by sea ice, sea state, muddy water or thermal/halocline boundary layers.Land applications: vehicles and fortress structures can be detected in dense forestsReal-time data delivered to the operator in flight; no recovery, no post-processing delay and direct integration with existing NATO STANAG 4817.Drone-agnostic by designF1Mag® integrates with highend drone platforms in current defence and dual-use service worldwide, including UMS Skeldar (V-200), High-Eye (Airboxer), Pterodynamics (Transwing), Acecore Technologies (NOA), Airolit (CX-10), Hecto Drone (HD-606), Freespace Operations (Callisto 25), Inspired Flight (IF1200), Velos Rotors (V3) and Harris Aerial (Carrier H6)."By making F1Mag® drone-agnostic, we let defence customers use the platforms they already trust, and we shorten the path from procurement to operational capability," Døssing Andreasen adds.Built on battle-proven technologyF1Mag® extends the technology behind UMag's ultra-sensitive V2Mag® system, already deployed by defence forces in several European countries for land and coastal mine mapping. Since summer 2025, F1Mag® has been tested and validated for open-sea naval mine detection, anti-submarine warfare operations and the detection of vehicles concealed in forested terrain.AvailabilityF1Mag® is available now for operational deployment, demonstrations and partner integrations. UMag Solutions will be exhibiting at XPONENTIAL 2026 in Detroit (Stand 14020) and NATO Naval Mine Warfare Conference 2026 in Ostend, Belgium, featuring both V2Mag® and F1Mag®.About UMag Solutions ApS:UMag Solutions is a Danish defence company pioneering drone-based quantum magnetic sensing for subsurface threat detection. Since 2018, UMag has been at the forefront of ultra-sensitive, real-time magnetic detection technologies - supporting land and naval mine detection, anti-submarine warfare and subsea infrastructure surveillance.

Focus Graphite Announces One of the Largest Identified Graphite Deposits Globally at the Lac Tetepisca Project

Ottawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 7, 2026) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce its upgraded mineral resource estimate ("MRE") on its 100%-owned Lac Tetepisca Project (the "Project") in Quebec. The MRE was completed pursuant to the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").HighlightsOne of the Largest Identified Graphite Deposits Globally: This new mineral resource estimate includes 120,163 ktonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources at 10.27% Cg and 24,143 ktonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources at 9.88% Cg (see table below for additional details regarding the calculation of the MRE and the average Cg grades for the Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources).High-Grade Mineral Resources: Estimates were calculated using a conservative 3.5% Cg cut-off grade and a US$1,200 per tonne average selling price for graphite concentrate.Significant Expansion Potential: Opportunities exist through step-out and infill drilling to extend the deposit to the southwest and at greater depths, as well as through drill testing of numerous additional geophysical anomalies.AI-Enabled Characterization Technology: Novel, low-cost AI-enabled in situ graphite flake characterization technology is expected to be incorporated into a future MOGC mineral resource update.Potential Acid generation Mitigation Materials: Dolomitic marble from the hanging wall has been included within the resource shell and may be used to mitigate acid generation within the tailings storage facility. Acid buffering capacity results are expected to be published in the coming months.IOS Geosciences Inc. ("IOS"), a leading Quebec-based geological consulting firm was retained to produce a mineral resource estimate update and prepare a technical report (the "Technical Report"). The Technical Report will contain the full results of the Company's drill program and a mineral resource estimation update. Pursuant to NI 43-101, the Company will file the Technical Report within forty-five (45) days of the date hereof on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at http://www.sedarplus.ca.The MRE update was completed by IOS, using results from 150 drill holes totalling 26,095 metres, and including 2022 campaign results recently reported and totalling 9,628 metres from 44 drill holes.The MRE update for the Project is based on 150 inclined and sub-vertical diamond drill holes performed between 2014 and 2022 on the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor ("MOGC") and South-West MOGC ("SW-MOGC") graphite prospect, totalling of 26,095 metres. Focus discovered the MOGC prospect in July 2012 while conducting reconnaissance geological mapping, prospecting, and trenching on the Property. The MOGC is defined by a 2 kilometre linear Magnetic (MAG) and Electromagnetic (EM) anomaly that trends N035°. Drilling was conducted on a 1.5 km long segment of the MOGC following 300 m long drilling lines oriented N305° and spaced 100 m, 50 m, or 25 m apart.Table 1: Mineral Resources (at 3.5% Cg Cut-Off) - MOGC, Lac Tetepisca ProjectMineral Resource CategoryTonnes (kt)Graphitic Carbon (%)In-Situ Graphite (kt)Measured*---Indicated*120,16310.2712,345Total Measured and Indicated*120,16310.2712,345Inferred*24,1439.882,386 * See notes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15NotesThese mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. The MRE follows current CIM Definition Standards (2014) and CIM MRMR Best Practice Guidelines (2019). A technical report supporting the MRE will be filed within 45 days in accordance with NI 43-101. The results are presented undiluted and are considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction ("RPEEE").The independent and qualified persons ("QPs") for the mineral resource estimate, as defined in NI 43-101, are Jean-Michel Dubé, P.Geo. from IOS Geosciences and Alexandre Burelle, P.Eng., from Evomine Consulting. The effective date is April 30th, 2026.The estimate includes four (5) variably mineralized domains and one (1) dilution envelope modeled using LeapFrog Geo and interpolated using LeapFrog Edge. 2.0 m composites were calculated within the mineralized zones using the grade of the adjacent material when assayed or a value of zero when not assayed. High-grade capping on composites (supported by statistical analysis) was set at 27% Cg in the MOGC zone and 8.5% Cg in the SW-MOGC zone. Outlier capping restriction was set at 16% Cg for composites in the MOGC zone that are situated further than 50% the maximum interpolation distances.The estimate was completed using a rotated block model (N030°) in Leapfrog Edge, with a parent block size of 5m x 10m x 5m (X, Y, Z) and a sub-block size of 2.5m x 5m x 2.5m (X, Y, Z).Grade interpolation was obtained by Inverse Distance Squared (ID2) methodology using hard boundaries. Density values are interpolated and blocks that are not interpolated were assigned their lithology average value.Mineral resources were classified as Indicated and Inferred. Indicated resources are defined with a minimum of three (3) drill holes in areas where the closest composite is situated less than 90 m away from the block centroid and Inferred resources with two (2) drill holes in areas where the closest composite is situated less than 135 m away from block centroids and there is reasonable geological and grade continuity.It is the QP's opinion that the current classification used is adequate and reliable for this ‎type of mineralization and mineral resource estimate.‎The MRE is pit constrained. There are no out-pit resources meeting the RPEEE requirement.The RPEEE requirement is satisfied by applying a cut-off grade based on reasonable economic parameters and constraining volumes. The potential open pit (OP) of the 2026 MRE is locally constrained by a surface optimized with the pseudo-flow algorithm in Deswik using a cut-off grade of 3.5%Cg. The following parameters were considered: mining cost = CA$6.00/t mined; processing cost = CA$35.00/t processed; G&A cost = CA$10.00/t processed; concentrate transportation cost = CA$200/t conc.; Cg Price = US$1,200/t conc.; CAD/USD exchange rate = 1.38; overburden slope angle = 25°; rock slope angle = 50°; concentrator recovery = 86.6%, concentrate grade = 96.4%.The number of metric tonnes was rounded to the nearest thousand, following the recommendations in NI 43-101. The metal contents are presented in tonnes (tonnes x grade) rounded to the nearest thousand. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects.The QPs are not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, or marketing issues or any other relevant issue not reported in the Technical Report that could materially affect the Mineral Resources Estimate.No mineral reserves have been established for the Lac Tetepisca Project.Table 2: Sensitivity Analysis Mineral Resource Category MeasuredIndicatedInferredCut Off (Cg)Tonnes (kt)Graphitic Carbon (%)In-Situ Graphite (kt)Tonnes (kt)Graphitic Carbon (%)In-Situ Graphite (kt)Tonnes (kt)Graphitic Carbon (%)In-Situ Graphite (kt)Base Case 3.5% ---120,16310.2712,34524,1439.882,3867.0%---81,02612.6410,24316,77511.851,98710.0%---54,65614.708,03710,55413.871,46413.0%---35,62716.465,8645,99915.78946 "This updated mineral resource at Lac Tetepisca represents a transformative milestone for Focus Graphite," commented Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite. "To be a credible and serious alternative source of supply to China, particularly in building a secure domestic North American supply chain, projects must demonstrate scale, size, and grade. Lac Tetepisca delivers on all three. While operating costs in Canada are inherently higher than in China, grade is the key equalizer, and the grade and scale we are demonstrating here are critical differentiators. Graphite is an industrial mineral, and qualifying a new supply requires significant time and effort to fully characterize the material, making switching unattractive. This is why deposits of this scale are generational, and we believe Lac Tetepisca's size and grade justify that transition while reinforcing our position as a long-term North American supplier."Jason Latkowcer, Vice President of Corporate Development, commented, "Supply chains are being redefined by control and reliability. With Lac Knife and Lac Tetepisca, we are building a domestic platform capable of delivering high-grade graphite at scale, aligned with North American and allied energy and defence priorities."Figure 1: 2026 MRE Resource Block model of the Lac Tetepisca ProjectTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/296420_1b20bbb0444f2a88_001full.jpgQualified PersonThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Rejean Girard, P.Geo (Qc), President of IOS Geosciences Inc., a consultant to the Company, and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument NI 43-101.Data VerificationVast majority of raw data, including drilling and assaying, were available to the author as a coherent and validated database, built and maintained by the contractor through the years. Rigorous logging and assaying procedure were maintained throughout all the drill programs. Data used for the current MRE have undergone a comprehensive verification process to ensure accuracy and reliability. The verification procedures were conducted by qualified professionals with relevant expertise in geological and mining disciplines. They were overseen by the Qualified Person.QA/QC ProceduresIdentical assaying procedure as well as Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures were maintained throughout the various drill programs, in coherence with the Lac Knife sister project. Thorough laboratory proficiency analyses were conducted in 2010-2012 on Lac Knife samples, and internal reference material was then manufactured and used throughout both Lac Knife and Lac Tetepisca QAQC programs. During 2012, 2014, 2018 and apart of 2021 program, COREM laboratory from Québec City has been used for routine assays. Activation Laboratories from Ancaster, ON, was used on 10% interlaboratory for cross-checks purpose. For half of 2021 samples, these two laboratories' roles were inverted. Aside of inter-laboratories duplicates, certified reference materials, internal reference materials and blanks were regularly inserted, and used to monitor result accuracy and precision. Total carbon, organic carbon and inorganic carbon analysis were performed on 10% of the samples, certifying that the routine assays were only reporting graphitic carbon. The same 10% of samples were also submitted for trace metal analysis, in anticipation of future environmental studies. They were subjected to their own QA/QC procedure. Re-assays and validation analysis were requested whenever deviations were noted.MRE ValidationMultiple validation approaches were taken. Block volume estimates for each mineralized zone were compared to the 3D wireframe models. Block grades, composite grades and assays were visually compared on sections, plans and longitudinal views for both densely and sparsely drilled areas and no significant differences were observed. There is a good match observed in the grade distribution. The trend and local variation of the estimated inverse distance squared (ID2) interpolation were compared to ordinary kriging (OK) and nearest-neighbor (NN) interpolation using swath plots (North, East, Elevation, Northeast).Geological Complexity:The property's geological setting is quite simple but may still pose challenges in terms of interpretation and validation. Unknown geological structures and mineralization patterns could introduce uncertainties despite validation efforts.It is crucial to note that, despite these limitations, every effort has been made to minimize potential biases and inaccuracies in the data. Qualified Persons have exercised their professional judgment to mitigate these limitations and ensure the reliability of the information presented in this report.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc.
