ISTANBUL, Dec 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - 1World Online (1WO) and Culinary Heritage (CH) have entered into a partnership aimed at supporting structured, responsible tourism and reinforcing regional cultural identity. The collaboration combines 1World Online’s fourteen years of experience in destination promotion with Culinary Heritage’s international network of certified food producers, restaurants, and artisans. As part of the cooperation, Niclas Fjellström, Global Coordinator of Culinary Heritage, is joining TravelVerse as a Senior Advisor.Food plays a central role in cultural heritage, and travellers frequently engage with local culinary traditions to better understand the places they visit. The Culinary Heritage certification system verifies the authenticity of regional food practices, providing travellers with reliable access to genuine local traditions. The partnership is expected to strengthen the TravelVerse ecosystem and improve the user experience across the platform.The first joint project under this partnership is being launched in a few Turkey regions, including Alanya, where a food-focused route is being developed using exclusively Culinary Heritage–certified locations. This initiative supports both the documentation of local food culture and the creation of structured visitor pathways based on authentic regional content.As a first step in expanding the TravelVerse presence in Turkey, 1World Online is also starting a collaboration with Araz Aknam, whose local knowledge and personal perspective will shape a dedicated tour featuring locations he recommends. The tour will be available to a global audience, offering an opportunity to discover Turkey through his point of view.As part of the broader strategy to address imbalances in visitor flows, the partners will integrate the newly developed Vulpi AI solution – a data-driven tool designed to help manage overtourism in high-traffic areas and increase visibility for under-visited destinations. The technology will support evidence-based decision-making aimed at distributing interest more evenly across regions.“Culinary identity is essential to understand places and empower travelers' exploration,” said  Alex Fedosseev, Founder and CEO of 1World Online. “Joining effort with Niclas and Culinary Heritage project creates a powerful engine to launch TravelVerse Web3 tours with Culinary Heritage certified Points of Sale and create unforgettable experiences, a win-win all around!”“Culinary Heritage has always championed authenticity and regional pride - and this partnership brings that mission into a new era”, - said Niclas Fjellström, CH Global Coordinator.  “Through TravelVerse, our certified businesses gain powerful digital tools and exclusive visibility that amplify their stories far beyond their local markets. By combining our trusted certification with an innovative global platform, we can showcase real culinary heritage in a dynamic, engaging way that benefits producers, regions, and travelers all at once. This is a major step forward for how local food culture is experienced and celebrated.”About Culinary HeritageFounded in 1995, Culinary Heritage operates a global certification system that identifies destinations committed to preserving authentic regional food traditions.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - December 16, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from drill holes H100 and H101, completed as part of the 2025 drill program at its 100%-owned Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia.Drill holes H100 and H101 were designed to test eastern extensions of mineralization beyond the 2024 conceptual pit shell, while also evaluating depth continuity and metal zonation within the Hat porphyry system. Results from both drill holes confirm broad, continuous copper-gold-cobalt-scandium mineralization and, when integrated with drill holes announced earlier in 2025, define an expanded mineralization envelope at the Hat Deposit. Assay results from drill holes H102 to H108 will be released when received from the Lab and reviewed and confirmed by our technical team.Key HighlightsMineralization extended eastward beyond the 2024 conceptual pit outline, supported by long, continuous intercepts in both H100 and H101.H100 intersected 497.0 m of mineralization (129.0-626.0 m) averaging 0.27% CuEq (excluding Sc₂O₃), confirming continuity into previously under-tested areas east of the 2024 conceptual pit.Elevated cobalt values at depth in H100 may be indicative of proximity to deeper portions of the porphyry system based on observed metal associations at Hat.H101 returned 992.4 m of continuous mineralization, with multiple higher-grade intervals and a higher gold-to-copper ratio relative to the established average of the Hat deposit.Deeper part of the Hat porphyry system remain untested by drilling,Drill holes H100 and H101 at the bottom are more than 500m apart.Drill Hole H100497.0 m (129.0-626.0 m) averaging 0.27% CuEq, including:239.8 m at 0.30% CuEq141.0 m at 0.31% CuEq106.2 m at 0.35% CuEq73.0 m at 0.44% CuEqDrill hole H100 confirms that mineralization extends eastward beyond the 2024 conceptual pit boundary and remains continuous over substantial thicknesses. The presence of elevated cobalt values within deeper intervals is interpreted by the Company as a potential vector toward deeper parts of the porphyry system. While the significance of this association continues to be evaluated, cobalt enrichment has consistently occurred alongside stronger copper-gold mineralization in several areas of the Hat deposit.Drill Hole H101992.4 m (7.5-999.9 m) averaging 0.29% CuEq, including:618.0 m at 0.37% CuEq153.0 m at 0.52% CuEq91.0 m at 0.72% CuEq32.0 m at 1.26% CuEq11.2 m at 2.80% CuEqDrill hole H101 is notable for its higher gold-to-copper ratio compared to the broader Hat deposit average. Such metal ratios are commonly observed within zoned porphyry systems and may reflect variations in metal distribution at different structural or vertical levels. Together with the observed continuity of mineralization from near surface to the end of the drill hole, adds an important new constraint to the evolving geological interpretation of the Hat system.

Au recovery: 89.0%; Ag recovery: 68.0%; Cu recovery: 84.0%; Co recovery: 78.0%. * Copper Equivalent Calculation CuEq in % = ([Ag grade in ppm] *27.43*0.68/31.1035 + [Au grade in ppm] *2365.09*.89/31.1035 + 0.0001* [Co grade in ppm] *14.76*0.78*22.0462 + 0.0001* [Cu grade in ppm] *4.17*0.84*22.0462)/(4.17*22.0462*0.84).Details of the algorithm used to estimate %CuEq are presented in the notes above. The metal values used in our current algorithm are average trailing three years commodity prices, and do not reflect recent dramatic increases in prices of mineral commodities. Scandium, a potentially recoverable high value strategic alloy metal (customarily quoted as Sc2O3 ) that is present in small but possibly highly important amounts in Hat mineralization, is not assigned any value pending metallurgical investigations and recoverable results.Core samples are delivered securely to a fully accredited commercial laboratory and processed by industry-standard methods. Assays are received at irregular intervals, verified by reference to notes provided by our field crew, added to our database, and disseminated publicly by News Release.Figure 1: Plan view showing 2025 drill hole locations relative to the 2024 conceptual pit outline, highlighting eastward extensions of mineralizationTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_001full.jpgFigure 2: Cross-section illustrating continuity of mineralization at depth and beyond the eastern margin of the conceptual pit.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_fig2.jpgGeological InterpretationResults from drill holes H100 and H101, when combined with data from drill holes reported earlier in the 2025 season, define an expanded mineralization envelope at the Hat Deposit. Mineralization now demonstrably extends eastward beyond the conceptual pit shell, continuous to depths approaching one kilometre and supports the interpretation of a large, vertically extended porphyry system.The identification of cobalt-enriched intervals at depth in H100 and the gold-rich character of H101 provide additional geological vectors that may assist in defining future drill targets. Importantly, the deepest portions of the Hat porphyry system have not yet been tested by drilling; the Company considers these areas a priority for future exploration programs.Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented:"Drill holes H100 and H101 represent an important step forward in our understanding of the Hat system. These holes confirm that mineralization continues east of the 2024 conceptual pit, as proposed in MRE-1 and remains robust at depth. The elevated cobalt values encountered in H100, together with the higher gold-to-copper ratios observed in H101, provide valuable geological insight into the internal zonation of the system.Together with our large database, including drill results announced earlier this year, these holes collectively expand the mineralization envelope and reinforce our interpretation of Hat as a large, vertically extensive porphyry system. The deepest parts of the system remain untested, and we believe the results to date strongly justify continued, disciplined exploration focused on depth and lateral extensions."Figure 3: 2024 Conceptual pit shell in 3D and 2025 drill holes demonstrating the strategic exploration in 2025To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_003full.jpgFigure 4: Three-dimensional views of the 2024 conceptual pit shell with 2025 drill holes, demonstrating strategic targeting of depth and lateral extensions within the Hat porphyry system.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_004full.jpgFigure 5: Three-dimensional views of the 2024 conceptual pit shell with 2025 drill holes, demonstrating strategic targeting of depth and lateral extensions within the Hat porphyry system.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_005full.jpgTable 2 summarizes coordinates of the recent drill holes.Table 2.

JAKARTA, Dec 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PT TASPEN (Persero), Indonesia's pension and social insurance administrator for civil servants and public officials, is strengthening its digital transformation efforts by launching a biometric-based monthly authentication system. This initiative aims to ensure accurate pension distribution while improving accessibility for millions of retirees across the country.The new system is integrated into Andal by TASPEN, a mobile application available on the App Store and Google Play Store. Using facial recognition technology, retirees can now verify their identity remotely with a simple selfie, eliminating the need to visit TASPEN branch offices or payment partners in person.As of October 2025, more than 1.63 million retired civil servants have successfully completed biometric authentication through Andal by TASPEN, indicating strong adoption and confidence in TASPEN's digital solutions. TASPEN Corporate Secretary Henra highlighted the initiative as a significant step toward modernizing public service delivery."Our Biometric Authentication feature reflects TASPEN's commitment to building a world-class digital service ecosystem. We want to ensure retirees can access their benefits safely and conveniently from anywhere," he said.Retired civil servants without prior biometric data can register directly through the app by scanning their national ID and completing guided facial verification. The system supports both claim and nonclaim services, offering greater flexibility and reducing administrative bottlenecks. Biometric authentication is required to ensure that pension benefits are delivered only to the rightful recipients, strengthening identity assurance and preventing fraud or impersonation. If participants do not complete the authentication, the system cannot validate their eligibility status, which may result in temporary withholding of monthly pension disbursement until verification is successfully completed.This initiative aligns with Indonesia's national agenda to enhance digital governance, streamline public services, and promote inclusive technology adoption. It also strengthens TASPEN's position at the regional level. TASPEN recently welcomed a benchmarking visit from Cambodia's National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF), which sought insights into TASPEN's digital pension management practices. Through continuous investment in digital innovation, TASPEN aims to establish itself as a leading reference for modern, secure, and efficient pension administration across Asia.PT TASPEN (Persero), formally referred to as the Civil Servants' Savings and Insurance Corporation, is an Indonesian state-owned enterprise mandated to administer old-age savings insurance and pension fund programs for State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and State Officials. Established on 17 April 1963, PT TASPEN (Persero) has consistently played a significant role in promoting social welfare and financial security for Indonesia's public sector workforce. At present, PT TASPEN (Persero) offers an array of products and services, including: Work Accident Security Program (Jaminan Kecelakaan Kerja/JKK), Death Security Program (Jaminan Kematian/JKM), Old-Age Savings Program (Tabungan Hari Tua/THT),and Pension Program.About PT TASPEN (Persero)PT TASPEN (Persero) currently serves as The First Chairman of the Asian Civil Service Pension Association (ACSPA), an association of civil service social security administrators in Asia, with members including Indonesia, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Cambodia. PT TASPEN (Persero) prioritizes participant convenience and security through the implementation of its digital super-app, Andal by TASPEN.For information, participants can contact the Call Center at 1500919, visit the official website www.taspen.co.id, tcare.taspen.co.id, or access all official social media channels of PT TASPEN (Persero).

HONG KONG, December 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Everest Medicines (HKEX: 1952.HK) today unveiled its 2030 strategy. Following the announcement, the Company’s shares strengthened during the trading session and briefly reached an intraday high of HKD 48.54. By market close, the stock was trading at HKD 46.88, with the share price remaining at relatively elevated levels throughout the session, representing a gain of 4.55%, indicating a positive market response.According to market commentary, the strong performance on the day reflected both investor focus on the Company’s newly articulated medium- to long-term strategy and confidence signals released earlier by Directors and substantial shareholder. Previously, the Company also announced that certain Directors and a substantial shareholder have increased their shareholdings in the Company. On December 12, 2025, Mr. Wei Fu, Non-executive Director, Honorary Chairman of the Board and a substantial shareholder of the Company; Mr. Yifang Wu, Executive Director and Chairman of the Board; Mr. Rogers Yongqing Luo, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer; and Mr. Ian Ying Woo, Executive Director, President and Chief Financial Officer, collectively acquired 846,659 ordinary shares of the Company through open-market transactions, for a total consideration exceeding HK$38 million, representing an average price of approximately HK$45.01 per Share. In addition, the Company has been informed that CBC Group, a substantial shareholder of the Company, has further undertaken that it plans to increase its shareholding by not more than 1% in aggregate in the following three to six months, subject to the market conditions and compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements. The relevant actions are seen as a clear indication of Directors and substantial shareholders' positive stance on the company's long-term development prospects.The Company's 2030 strategy sets out a dual-engine approach to deliver predictable near-term growth and value creation through commercialization of existing assets, business development partnerships, and in-house R&D milestones, while driving long-term growth and value creation through in-house R&D and discovery, as well as global commercial expansion. Everest Medicines will continue to strengthen its leadership in core therapeutic areas, advance the development and commercialization of innovative therapies, and build a globally competitive biopharmaceutical company with sustainable growth.Everest Medicines focuses on renal, autoimmune, critical care, cardiovascular, and ophthalmic disease area, advancing its pipeline through a combination of in-licensed innovative assets and in-house R&D. By 2030, the Company aims to build a high-value commercial product portfolio while selectively expanding into additional valuable therapeutic areas with blockbuster potential.The Company has established a portfolio of three commercial products and continues to develop a fully integrated commercial platform covering the entire product lifecycle. By 2030, Everest Medicines targets annual revenue exceeding RMB 15 billion, including approximately RMB 9 billion from its existing pipeline and RMB 6 billion from newly in-licensed assets, while also exploring potential out-licensing opportunities. Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 50% from 2025 to 2030 and to remain above 15% thereafter. Over the same period, the number of commercial products is expected to exceed 20, including NEFECON®, Velsipity®, XERAVA®, cefepime–taniborbactam, and Lerodalcibep.To support its international growth, Everest Medicines is advancing a global strategy focused on strengthening regulatory and clinical development capabilities, while progressively building commercial infrastructure across Europe, the United States, and emerging markets. By 2030, the Company aims to drive growth through a combination of overseas out-licensing and direct commercialization, accelerating its global expansion.Notably, as a major shareholder of NovaBridge Biosciences, holding approximately 16% of its issued share capital, the Company will collaborate with NovaBridge Biosciences to identify high-quality assets and enhance global R&D and commercialization capabilities through complementary strengths and resources."The 2030 Strategy reflects Everest Medicines' clear vision for commercialization, R&D, and global expansion, and reinforces the Company's ability to deliver sustainable value. Since its founding in 2017, the Company has built a strong foundation through in-licensing innovative assets, completing its IPO, and executing a dual-engine strategy focused on high-potential therapeutic areas and strong commercialization and R&D capabilities," said Mr. Wei Fu, Honorary Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines and CEO of CBC Group. "CBC Group will continue to leverage its global resources and ecosystem to support the Company's growth, spanning pipeline advancement, platform building, and organizational expansion. The recent share purchases by the Directors and CBC Group's announced intention to increase its shareholding further demonstrate strong confidence in Everest Medicines' long-term prospects.""The 2030 Strategy marks a key milestone for Everest Medicines, guiding growth through BD partnerships and in-house R&D to build a larger commercial portfolio and pursue new high-potential blockbuster opportunities. Leveraging its BD capabilities and the CBC ecosystem, the Company plans to add three-to-five late-stage, high-value assets annually, aiming for peak sales within three years of reimbursement, with more than 20 new assets expected to contribute around RMB 6 billion by 2030 and RMB 30 billion by 2035. Our strong balance sheet and cash flow from commercial activities will support the implementation of our strategic initiatives." said Mr. Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines. "We will also continue to advance our in-house R&D platforms and, through our collaboration with Hasten, strengthen the late-stage pipeline and market reach.""Everest has established a scalable commercialization platform integrating medical, access, marketing, and sales capabilities," said Mr. Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines.
