Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - June 24, 2025) - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) ("Founders" or the "Company") announces a new high-grade gold discovery at its Antino Gold Project ("Antino" or "Project") in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The Company reports a 22.5 metre (m) interval of 11.88 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) at Maria Geralda, a new exploration target approximately 5 km SE of Lower Antino. The drilling follows up on systematic surface exploration, including prospecting, mapping, and augering programs that identified a 500 m by 400 m gold anomaly at surface.HighlightsFirst-ever drilling at Maria Geralda delivers exceptional results with 22.5 m of 11.88 g/t Au (MG003)Discovery validates systematic exploration approach with auger sampling identifying a 500 m by 400 m gold anomaly at surface where 54% of samples returned assays above 0.1 g/t AuSignificant expansion potential with the discovery zone open along strike and to depth, supporting plans for follow-up drilling in 2025Colin Padget, President & CEO of Founders, commented, "While weather has limited our access to other exploration targets recently, we were pleased to maintain ready access to Maria Geralda and follow up on early surface results. This outstanding start to drilling at Maria Geralda further validates our exploration approach across the 200 km² Antino land package. The 22.5 m interval grading 11.88 g/t Au represents some of the highest-grade mineralization we've encountered to date. These results demonstrate the substantial discovery potential that exists beyond the property's current established zones. Between this discovery, recent expansions at Upper and Lower Antino, and our ongoing 2025 exploration program, we see significant opportunity to build shareholder value."Maria Geralda is located along a major structural corridor on a northwest-trending lineament at the geologic boundary between intrusive rocks and mixed metavolcanic-metasedimentary formations. The discovery hole was designed to test the geochemical anomaly identified through the Company's auger sampling program. Founders plans to follow-up with systematic step-out drilling to define the extent of mineralization along strike and to depth.About Founders Metals Inc.Founders Metals is a Canadian-based exploration company focused on advancing the Antino Gold Project located in Suriname, South America, in the heart of the Guiana Shield. Antino is 20,000 hectares and has produced over 500,000 ounces of gold from surface and alluvial mining to date1.

上海，2025年6月23日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 華領醫藥（"公司"，香港聯交所股份代號：2552.HK）今天宣佈，第85屆美國糖尿病協會（ADA）科學年會上，公司展示了其全球首創新藥葡萄糖激酶激活劑（GKA）多格列艾汀（dorzagliatin）的最新研究成果。一項基礎動物研究表明，多格列艾汀聯合DPP-4抑制劑西格列汀（Sitagliptin）使用可以改善血糖水平、促進胰島素分泌、增強GLP-1分泌等，效果優於多格列艾汀單獨用藥。血液生化分析則顯示，聯合用藥對於降低血脂（特別是LDL）有潛在獲益（見圖1）。多格列艾汀是華領醫藥自主研發的全球首創葡萄糖激酶激活劑，通過修復2型糖尿病患者受損的葡萄糖激酶（GK）功能和表達，提升2型糖尿病患者的葡萄糖敏感性，從而改善患者血糖穩態失調。西格列汀（Sitagliptin）是一款DPP-4抑制劑類降糖藥，通過抑制GLP-1降解改善血糖控制。該研究旨在評估兩藥聯用長期治療對高脂飲食誘導肥胖/糖尿病(DIO)小鼠葡萄糖穩態的影響，為臨床聯合用藥提供依據。研究對於DIO小鼠模型分別給予30 mg/kg/天的多格列艾汀單藥或聯合20 mg/kg/天的西格列汀治療30天，以標準飲食小鼠作為對照。治療30天后，小鼠血糖水平較治療前顯著改善，且聯合用藥治療效果優於單獨用藥。多格列艾汀單獨用藥可促進胰島素和GLP-1的分泌，聯合用藥進一步增強了這一效應。血液生化指標分析則顯示，藥物治療顯著改善了DIO小鼠的糖化血清蛋白（GSP），聯合治療還改善了低密度脂蛋白（LDL）水平。低密度脂蛋白將膽固醇運送至動脈，過量的低密度脂蛋白會造成動脈硬化、心肌梗塞、中風及周圍動脈疾病等。這一結果表明，聯合用藥在恢復血糖穩態的同時，對於降低血脂（特別是LDL）有潛在獲益，為臨床用藥和新適應症的拓展探索了可能性。（圖1 血液生化指標 2025 ADA 893-P）另一項研究者發起的真實世界研究也在ADA年會上進行了展示。該研究是一項單中心前瞻性觀察性研究，旨在評估多格列艾汀在2型糖尿病患者中的短期療效及機制。中期分析顯示，患者的糖化血紅蛋白（HbA1c）水平顯著降低，連續血糖監測（CGM）指標改善，β細胞功能指標分析提示β細胞的胰島素分泌功能得到保護(見圖2)。重點分析資料如下：HbA1c：- 治療3個月後，從基線水平8.1±1.2%顯著降至7.3±1.1%，6個月時維持該水平（均p<0.0001），提示血糖長期控制效果顯著CGM指標：- 目標範圍內時間（TIR, Time in Range）：6個月時，從65.8±22.1%升至70.3±21.5（p=0.047），表明血糖在目標區間（通常3.9-10.0 mmol/L）的時間占比增加- 高於目標範圍時間（TAR, Time above Range）:≥10.0 mmol/L從31.8±22.7%降至25.7±21.6%（p=0.033），提示高血糖持續時間縮短β細胞功能指標（AUC_CP）：- 6個月時，改善了10.9% (p<0.0001)（圖2 從基線到6個月時糖化血紅蛋白、持續葡萄糖監測指標及β細胞功能的改善 2025ADA 2004-LB）這些真實世界的臨床應用案例證實了多格列艾汀作為GKA可以直接改善葡萄糖敏感性，改善2型糖尿病患者的血糖水平，恢復患者的血糖穩態和顯著改善β細胞功能，支持了GKA在糖尿病管理中不同于傳統降糖藥的獨特治療地位。研究者還將通過隨訪繼續評估多格列艾汀的長期療效，評估胰島功能保護的長期效應。此外，華領醫藥再次受邀於ADA年會期間，在官方電視頻道ADA TV報導系列影片，講述全球糖尿病管理格局，以及多格列艾汀在不同領域的臨床應用價值。華領醫藥將繼續開展基礎研究和臨床研究，同時通過與臨床醫生的廣泛合作，進一步探索多格列艾汀的臨床應用潛力，拓展公司未來產品管線和疾病領域。關於華領華領醫藥（"本公司"）是一家總部位於中國上海的創新藥物研發和商業化公司，在美國、中國香港設立了公司。華領醫藥專注於未被滿足的醫療需求，為全球患者開發全新療法。華領醫藥匯聚全球醫藥行業高素質人才，融合全球創新技術，依託全球優勢資源，研究開發突破性的技術和產品，引領全球糖尿病醫療創新。公司核心產品華堂寧®（多格列艾汀片）以葡萄糖感測器葡萄糖激酶為靶點，提升2型糖尿病患者的葡萄糖敏感性，改善患者血糖穩態失調。2022年9月30日，華堂寧®已獲得中國國家藥品監督管理局（NMPA）的上市批准，用於單獨用藥或者與二甲雙胍聯合用藥，治療成人2型糖尿病。對於腎功能不全患者，無需調整劑量，是一款可用於腎功能損傷的2型糖尿病患者的口服降糖藥物。詳情垂詢華領醫藥網址：www.huamedicine.com投資者電郵：ir@huamedicine.com媒體電郵：pr@huamedicine.com Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

MALANG, E. JAVA, Indonesia, June 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A research team from Brawijaya University (UB) has identified two new microalgae genera in the waters around Bawean Island, Gresik Regency, East Java, and Tomini Bay, Central Sulawesi.Lecturer of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) Oktiyas Muzaky Luthfi, S.T., M.Sc. while conducting research on an object. (ANTARA/HO-Humas Universitas Brawijaya)"The newly identified microalgae genera are Paracatenula and Wallaceago," head of the research team and lecturer at UB’s Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Oktiyas Muzaky Luthfi stated in Malang, East Java, on Friday.The genus name Wallaceago was chosen to honor Alfred Russel Wallace -- a renowned naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, and expert on species distribution.Each of the two new genera also includes newly identified species: Paracatenula porostriata and Wallaceago porostriatus.Discovered near Bawean Island, Paracatenula porostriata is characterized by a circular shell structure with small pores and a flat valve.Meanwhile, Wallaceago porostriatus, found in Tomini Bay, has valves that are partially diamond-shaped with fine lines on the lower surface.These discoveries have already been published in an international scientific journal.In addition to Paracatenula and Wallaceago, the UB team also identified several new species within the genera Catenula and Catenulopsis.According to a summary of the published journal, four new species were found in the genus Catenula: Catenula boyanensis, Catenula komodensis, Catenula decusa, and Catenula densestriata.These species were discovered in Bawean Island, Tiga Warna Beach in Malang, East Java, and Tomini Bay, Central Sulawesi.One more species identified under the genus Catenulopsis was named Catenulopsis baweana."We discovered it in Bawean, which is why it is named baweana," Luthfi explained.The research and identification process took place from 2021 to 2024, using both light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphological analysis.Researchers explored the diversity of diatoms from sediment and fragments of dead coral in reef environments.The study involved collaboration with several universities from different countries, including the University of Szczecin and the University of Rzeszów in Poland, as well as the University of Michigan in the United States.Luthfi emphasized that the discovery is important for sustaining life on Earth, as microalgae not only form the foundation of the food chain but also play a vital role in oxygen production."Microalgae are responsible for generating 20 percent of the Earth’s oxygen," he noted.He remarked that this discovery provides a foundation for monitoring marine environments, studying tropical aquatic ecology, and conducting paleoecological research."This proves that Indonesia’s oceans harbor an abundance of microscopic life that we have yet to fully understand," he concluded.For more information please click: https://ub.ac.idBrawijaya University: https://prasetya.ub.ac.idEditor : A Malik Ibrahim, Copyright (c) ANTARA 2025 Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Shanghai, Jun 23, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hua Medicine ("the Company", stock code: 2552.HK) announced today that the Company presented the latest research results of dorzagliatin, its global first-in-class glucokinase activator (GKA), at the 85th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). A preclinical animal study showed that the combination of dorzagliatin and sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, improves blood glucose levels, promotes insulin secretion, and enhances GLP-1 secretion. The combination therapy was more effective than dorzagliatin alone. The blood chemistry analysis further indicates that the combination therapy has potential benefits for lipid lowering (especially LDL) (See Figure 1).Dorzagliatin is the world's first glucokinase activator independently developed by Hua Medicine, aiming to restore the imbalanced blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes by repairing the impaired function and expression of glucokinase and enhancing glucose sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. Sitagliptin, a DPP4 inhibitor, improves glucose control by blocking degradation of GLP-1. This study aims to assess the impact of long-term administration of dorzagliatin and the combination of dorzagliatin/sitagliptin on glucose homeostasis in high-fat diet-induced obesity/diabetes (DIO) mice.In the study, the DIO mice were administered dorzagliatin at a dosage of 30 mg/Kg/day, or a combination of dorzagliatin (same dose) and sitagliptin (20mg/Kg/day) for 30 days. Mice on a standard diet served as controls. On day 30, the glucose levels were all reduced compared to pre-treatment, and the combination therapy was more effective than dorzagliatin alone. Dorzagliatin monotherapy promoted insulin and GLP-1 secretion, and the combination resulted in a further increase.Blood biochemical analysis showed that drug treatment significantly improved glycated serum protein (GSP) in DIO mice. Combination therapy also improved low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. LDL transports cholesterol to arteries, and excessive LDL can cause arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral arterial diseases. These results suggest that combination therapy has potential benefits reducing blood lipids (especially LDL) while restoring glucose homeostasis, exploring possibilities for clinical medication and new indication expansion. Figure 1 Blood Biochemical 2025 ADA 893-PAnother investigator-initiated real-world study was also presented at the ADA conference. This single-center prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the short-term efficacy and underlying mechanisms of dorzagliatin in T2DM patients. Interim analysis showed significant reductions in HbA1c levels, improvements in continuous glucose monitoring parameters, and protection of β-cell insulin secretion capacity as indicated by β-cell function indices (See Figure 2). The key analysis data are as follows:HbA1c- decreased significantly from 8.1±1.2% at baseline to 7.3±1.1% at 3 months- sustained the reduction to 7.3±1.1% at 6 months (both p<0.0001).CGM metrics- TIR increased from 65.8±22.1% to 70.3±21.5% (p=0.047) at 6 months- TAR decreased from 31.8±22.7% to 25.7±21.6% (p=0.033).β-cell function index AUC_CP- improved by 10.9% at 6 months (p<0.0001)(Figure 2 improvements of glycated hemoglobin, CGM metrics, β-cell function from baseline to 6 months 2025ADA 2004-LB)These real-world clinical application cases confirm that dorzagliatin, as a GKA, can improve glucose sensitivity, regulate blood glucose levels, and improves glycemic homeostasis and β-cell function in T2DM patients, supporting GKAs' unique therapeutic position in diabetes management, distinct from conventional hypoglycemic agents. Researchers will continue to evaluate the long-term efficacy of dorzagliatin and the long-term effects of pancreatic function preservation through follow-up.Additionally, Hua Medicine was again invited to the official ADA TV channel during the ADA conference to present a series of films discussing the global diabetes management landscape and the clinical application value of dorzagliatin in various fields.Hua Medicine will continue to conduct preclinical and clinical research, and through extensive cooperation with clinicians, further explore the clinical application potential of dorzagliatin to expand the Company's future product pipeline and disease areas.About Hua MedicineHua Medicine (The “Company”) is an innovative drug development and commercialization company based in Shanghai, China, with companies in the United States and Hong Kong.
