香港, 2024年8月21日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) — 亨得利控股有限公司（「亨得利」或「公司」及其子公司「集團」，股票代號：3389）宣佈截至2024年6月30日止6個月（「回顧期內」）之中期業績。2024年上半年，全球經濟仍面臨着地緣政治衝突、通脹風險等多重壓力。中國經濟增速有所放緩，但總體運行平穩。面對較為複雜的經營環境，公司以「行穩致遠」為準則，順應市場調配業務，力求企業的生存與健康，以保障股東的利益。回顧期內，本集團收入錄得580,361,000元（人民幣，下同；2023年6月30日止六個月為675,621,000元），較去年同期下降了14.1%；高端消費配套業務等收入為352,339,000元（2023年6月30日止六個月為316,992,000元），較去年同期上升了11.2%；大宗商品貿易收入為228,022,000元（2023年6月30日止六個月為358,629,000元），較去年同期下降了36.4%。於回顧期，本集團錄得溢利，溢利額為499,000元（截至2023年6月30日六個月虧損:8,799,000元），較去年同期上升了105.7%；而股份持有人應佔虧損為2,504,000元（截至2023年6月30日六個月虧損：1,985,000元），較去年同期上升了26.1%。虧損上升主要源於物業、廠房、設備的折舊費用上升及匯率波動導致營運單位產生外匯兌換虧損等。回顧期內，於高端消費配套業務層面，集團採取多種措施應對複雜的經營環境，不斷拓寬業務模式，提升技術創新水平，規範和加強信息化及自動化管理，各項措施均取得了較為明顯的成效。回顧期內，高端消費配套業務的收入及利潤業績增長顯著。國際貿易方面，回顧期內，因應礦砂銷售價格的下降及客戶購買意願的降低，國際大宗商品貿易業務之銷售額及利潤較去年同期有所下降，但仍維持了正面的盈收。期內，集團計劃於墨西哥建設一個集清關、進口、運輸、倉儲於一體的大宗貨物中轉物流園區，致力於服務中國大型企業。國際海運方面，回顧期內，全球乾散貨航運市場表現強勁。集團緊抓市場上漲時機，大力拓展業務，與客戶致力於簽訂長航次運輸合同。在深耕傳統運輸航線外，集團首次開闢了土耳其與中國鋁礬土運輸航線，並與土耳其著名公司簽訂了長期運輸協議，獲得較為滿意的收益。上半年，集團海運業務收入與利潤均取得了良好的成績。當前，於全球來看，政治動盪不安趨勢仍十分明顯，經濟環境的不穩定性、不確定性上升。中國內地經濟恢復態勢雖然明顯，唯結構調整持續深化等仍將帶來新的挑戰。但是，中國內地經濟發展長期向好的發展態勢並未改變。隨着中國政府各項經濟政策措施效應進一步顯現，相信中國內地經濟發展動能將持續增強。下半年，公司仍將堅持「行穩致遠、持續經營」之原則，背靠中國內地「穩中求進、以進促穩」的經濟發展環境，緊貼市場，積極而穩妥地繼續國際貿易的進程，並不斷擴充與加強與國際貿易密切相關的國際海運業務，努力成長，以冀成為國際海運供應鏈中較強的一員，實現企業突破性的發展。集團亦仍將順應市場需求，面向中國內地及國際雙市場，不斷提升商業空間一體化服務水平；調整高端名錶配套產品的生產，同時展開有限多元化的業務進程，加強高端消費配套生產在珠寶、化妝品及手機等其他高端生活品領域的拓展，將商業空間美化服務擴充至生活空間美化服務領域等，繼而成為高端消費配套生態鏈中不可或缺的一個獨立環節。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hengdeli Holdings Limited (“Hengdeli” or the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 3389) announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (" the period under review").In the first half of 2024, the global economy was still confronted with multiple pressures such as geopolitical conflicts and inflation risks. China’s economic growth slowed down, while overall operation remained stable and the trend of stabilization continued. In the face of a relatively complex operating environment, under the principle of “sound, steady and long-term operations”, the Group adapted its business to the market conditions and strived for the survival and health of the enterprise to safeguard the interests of its shareholders.During the review period, the Group recorded revenue of RMB580,361,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB675,621,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 14.1%; high-end consuming accessories business recorded revenue of RMB352,339,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB316,992,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 11.2%; commodity trading revenue amounted to RMB228,022,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB358,629,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 36.4%. During the period under review, the Group recorded a profit of RMB499,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: loss of RMB8,799,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 105.7%. Loss attributable to equity shareholders amounted to RMB2,504,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: loss of RMB1,985,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 26.1%. The increase in loss was mainly attributable to the increase in depreciation expenses on property, plant and equipment and foreign exchange losses incurred by the operating units as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.During the period under review, in regards of high-end consuming accessories business, the Group took various measures to cope with complicated operating environment. The Group laid a solid foundation to maintain stability, sought development driven by innovation, continuously broadened its business modes, enhancing the level of technological innovation, the Group standardized and strengthened its informational and automatic management, all measures mentioned above achieved remarkable results. During the period under review, the high-end consuming accessories business achieved remarkable results, with better growth in both revenue and profit.In terms of international trading, during the period under review, the sales and profit of the international commodity trading business decreased as compared to the same period last year as a result of decline in the selling price of ore sand and the lower purchasing intention of customers, but still maintained a positive profitability. During the period, the Group planned to build a bulk cargo transshipment logistics park in Mexico, which integrates customs clearance, import, transportation and warehousing, and is dedicated to serving large-scale enterprises in China. In terms of international shipping, during the period under review, the global dry bulk shipping market performed strongly. The Group seized the opportunities of the rising market to vigorously expand its business by developing new customers and signing long voyage transportation contracts with its customers to lock in long-term profits for the Company. In addition to engaging in the traditional transportation routes, the Group opened up its first bauxite transportation route between Turkey and China and signed long-term transportation agreements with renowned companies in Turkey, which yielded relatively satisfactory returns. The Group’s shipping business achieved good results in terms of revenue and profit in the first half of the year.At present, the global political situation is still experiencing a high degree of unrest, and the instability and uncertainty of the economic environment are on the rise. While the recovery of the mainland Chinese economy is evident, factors such as the deepening of structural adjustment will continue to pose new challenges. However, the favorable conditions for the economic development of Mainland China outweigh the unfavorable factors, and the trend of stable and long-term development remains unchanged. As the effects from the government’s various economic policies and measures materialized, it is believed that China’s economic growth momentum will continue to rise.In the second half of the year, the Group will continue to adhere to the principle of “sound, steady, and long-term operations”, and will leverage the stable business environment in Mainland China that “pursues stability while seeking progress” to keep abreast of the market trend and further advance the process of international trade steadily. Additionally, the Group will continuously expand and strengthen the international shipping business, which is closely related to international trade, and strive to become a stronger participant in the international shipping supply chain and achieve new breakthroughs in corporate development.The Group will continue to adapt to market demands and continuously enhance the service standard of its integrated services for commercial space in both Mainland China and international markets. The Group will also continuously adjust the manufacturing of high-end accessories for renowned watches while embarking on a limited number of diversified business activities including the manufacturing of high-end consuming accessories in highend lifestyle products such as jewellery, cosmetics and mobile phones, and expanding its commercial space beautification services to include living space beautification services, thus becoming an indispensable independent segment in the industry ecological chain of high-end consuming accessories.

Vancouver, BC, Aug 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) (" Q2 " or the " Company ") announces that, as a result of a technical review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company is issuing the following news release to clarify its technical disclosure as it pertains to the news release issued on August 19, 2024.The Company previously reported the cumulative grades of drill holes CS-24-007 to CS-24-010 at the Company's Cisco Property over ‘cumulative intervals' and ‘cumulative metres.' This disclosure has been removed from the August 19, 2024 news release as well as all previously issued news releases that reported cumulative intervals and/or cumulative metres.As such, the highlights of the Company's inaugural drilling campaign at the Cisco Property included:CS-24-010: Widest interval of 120.3 m at 1.72% Li 2 O including 19.0 m at 2.06% Li 2 OCS-24-007: Widest interval of 27.1 m at 1.96% Li 2 O including 11.1 m at 2.49% Li 2 OCS-24-008: Widest interval of 19.3m at 1.75% Li 2 O including 6.2 m at 2.23% Li 2 OCS-24-009: Widest interval of 82.1m at 1.43% Li 2 O including 15.7 m at 1.88% Li 2 OThe analytical results reported represent the first 1,017 m of drilling over four (4) holes of the 3,753 m that were drilled over 12 holes at the Cisco Property. Initial visual results of those four holes were reported by the Company on June 17, 2024.The Spring 2024 Drill Campaign was designed to expand upon the 2023 drilling by the Property vendors. Hole CS-23-05 ("Hole 5") drilled by the Property vendor ended in pegmatite and assays results confirmed its widest interval of 48.0 m at 1.23% Li 2 O including 9.0 m at 1.73% Li 2 O.Holes CS-24-009 and 010 ("Hole 10") were designed as 50 m westward step-outs from Hole 5. Assay results from these two holes confirmed wide intervals of spodumene pegmatite, with the widest interval reaching 120.3 m at 1.72% Li 2 O, including 19.0 m at 2.06% Li 2 O in Hole 10.Complete highlighted intervals from holes CS-24-007 to 010 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1. All intervals of greater than two (2) metres of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than five (5) metres. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.Figure 1. Map of Inaugural Drill Hole Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyTable 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyTable 2. Summary of Drill Hole Collar Information, Cisco PropertyResults from approximately 2,700 m of drilling eight (8) holes (CS-24-011 to CS-24-018) remain to be reported from the Spring 2024 Drill Campaign and will be released as soon as results are available. Drilling at the Cisco Property is ongoing and will continue into the fall of 2024.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 kilometres ("km") east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAs per the BCSC technical review, information required by sections 3.2 and 3.3 of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") that was inadvertently omitted has also been updated.All drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade was multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li 2 O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release. Mr. McCallum is a director and VP Exploration for Q2.About Q2 Metals CorpQ2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on unlocking its portfolio of lithium projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, that includes both its 100-per-cent-owned Mia Lithium Property and the Cisco Lithium Property.The Cisco lithium property is located approximately 150 km north of Matagami, Que., and comprises 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 ha in size. The property has district-scale potential with an already identified mineralized zone and a discovery drill result that included 48 metres at 1.36% lithium oxide (hole CS-23-05).FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT:Alicia MilnePresident & CEOAlicia@Q2metals.comJason McBrideCorporate CommunicationsJason@Q2metals.comTelephone: 1 (800) 482-7560E-mail: info@Q2metals.comWWW.Q2Metals.comFollow the Company: Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and InstagramForward-Looking StatementsThis news release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian legislation.
