Wintermar’s 9M2024 Net operating profit doubled to US$11.8million (+127.1% YOY) from US$5.2 million in 9M2023, contributed by higher charter rates in DP vessels and additional vessels commencing operations, while Net Attributable Profit which includes gains from vessel sales jumped to US$19.7million for 9M2024 compared to US$2.8million in 9M2023.Owned Vessel DivisionIn the Owned Vessel segment, Revenues jumped by 36.7% YOY to US$45.0 million for 9M2024, up from US$33.0 million in 9M2023. This growth was fueled by the continued rise in OSV charter rates particularly in the higher tier segment. Gross Profit from Owned Vessels rose by 124.7% YOY to US$15.5 million in 9M2024, compared to US$6.9 million in the same period last year with average charter rates 23.1% higher in 9M2024 compared to 9M2023 while vessel utilization improved slightly from 65% in 9M2023 to 67% in 9M2024.On a Quarterly basis, Owned Vessel Revenue increased by 35.1% YOY from US$13.2million in 2Q2024 to US$17.8million in 3Q2024. This strong growth was primarily driven by the deployment of two Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) on long-term contracts at market rates after coming off a lower priced contract in April 2024, and a reactivated PSV coming into operation in August. Gross Profit increased by an impressive 81.8% QOQ, reaching US$7.5 million in 3Q2024, compared to US$4.1 million in 2Q2024, highlighting the significant widening in Owned Vessel gross margin to 41.9% in 3Q2024 from 31.1% in 2Q2024.Chartering Division and Other ServicesThe Chartering Division also enjoyed an increase Gross Profit by 20.9% YOY, despite a 11.2% YOY decline in revenue, from US$12.9 million in 9M2023 to US$11.4 million in 9M2024.Revenue from Other Services declined by 6.5% YOY, from US$5.4 million in 9M2023 to US$5.0 million in 9M2024.

Depreciation costs grew by 8.2% YOY reaching US$10.1 million, due to the addition of vessels to the fleet. Crewing Expenses rose by 12.7% to US$7.6 million, due to the higher salaries and allowances required for Dynamic Positioning (DP) vessels and more vessels operating outside Indonesia.For 9M2024, Maintenance Costs increased by 39.8% YOY, to US$5.9 million, while fuel bunker costs increased by 16.8% YOY, totaling US$2.2 million. These cost increases were driven by major docking activities for certain vessels and the preparation of higher-tier vessels for long-term contracts.Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitTotal Indirect Expenses increased by 33.1% YOY, rising from US$4.9 million in 9M2023 to US$6.6 million. The largest contributor to this increase came from salaries (+31.6% YOY to US$4.7million) due to a growing workforce in line with business expansion and bonuses paid in 2Q2024 while employee benefits were normalized in 2024 after an adjustment in 2023.Marketing expenses increased by 275% YOY from US$0.09 million in 9M2023 to US$0.4 million in 9M2024, due to marketing fees to support the Company’s international growth.Despite these cost increases, Wintermar successfully improved operational performance, reflected in a 127.1% YOY jump in operating profit, which grew from US$5.2 million in 9M2023 to US$11.8 million in 9M2024.Other Income, Expenses and Net Attributable ProfitInterest Expenses continued to fall from US$0.9 million in 9M2023 to US$0.8 million in 9M2024, reflecting a -19.1% YOY decline as outstanding bank debt decreased. The Company is now cash positive, leading to a significant increase in interest income from US$0.03 million in 9M2023 to US$0.3 million in 9M2024. This improvement in cash flow was driven by better operational performance and substantial gains from the sale of vessels.Equity in net earnings of associates turned around with a gain of US$2.1 million in 9M2024 compared to a loss of US$0.3 million in 9M2024, as operational performance from our associated companies also benefited from the industry upturn.The sale of vessels resulted in a substantial gain of US$17.4 million from the disposal of fixed assets in 1H2024, effectively crystalizing the monetary value of the fleet. This cash inflow provided management with the opportunity to reinvest in similar but younger vessels. In August 2024, the Company took delivery of a Platform Supply Vessel built in 2022, which is expected to be operationally ready by early December 2024. Non controlling interest was significantly higher at US$7.5million compared to only US$0.03million in 9M2023 to account for the minority share of earnings from the PSV business which is 51% controlled by Wintermar.Net Attributable Profit for 9M2024 totaled US$19.7million, a six fold increase (+605.2%YOY) from US$2.8million in 9M2023, due to a combination of higher gross profit from a strong performance in the core business as well as the gain from sale of vessels.The group's EBITDA increased by 50.8% YOY for 9M2024, reaching US$22.1 million.Industry OutlookThe world is navigating turbulent times, with escalating conflicts in the Middle East and Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine affecting some of the world’s most important oil producing countries. Geopolitical uncertainty has exposed the underlying vulnerabilities of the global energy system, which has contributed to a new investment cycle in upstream oil and gas as governments seek to ensure energy security.The current economic outlook points to global oil demand remaining resilient. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global demand for oil is expected stay above 100 million barrels per day (mb/d) through 2050. This sustained demand is driven by industrial uses, heavy-duty transportation, and petrochemical needs. The transition to renewable energy is reshaping consumption patterns, but oil and natural gas will continue to play a crucial role in meeting global energy needs​.Southeast Asia remains heavily reliant on energy imports, especially oil and natural gas, to meet its growing demand. According to the IEA's World Energy Outlook, Southeast Asia is projected to become a net importer of natural gas by 2030, while China and India are also seeing a significant rise in their reliance on imported energy. China's oil imports are expected to surpass 80% by 2050, increasing its vulnerability to global supply disruptions.The Indonesian government has introduced a new gross split scheme aimed at attracting upstream investments by simplifying contractual terms and providing more favorable conditions for oil and gas contractors. This welcome move demonstrates the political will to ramp up upstream oil and gas investments in Indonesia, needed to mitigate natural production declines and the widening oil trade deficit in recent years.Business ProspectsWintermar continues to strategically strengthen its financial position and revitalize its fleet through targeted investments. As of the first nine months of 2024, the Company has invested in USS$38.8 million in fleet expansion to position its fleet in anticipation of future demand. This includes an Accommodation Work Barge (AWB), a 2022 built Platform Supply Vessel (PSV), and three newly constructed heavy load barges scheduled for delivery by the end of the year. These investments not only modernize Wintermar’s fleet but also align it with expected OSV demand as early-stage offshore drilling and exploration projects transition into the construction and production phases.These acquisitions have been financed through a combination of internal cash flow, bank loans and the sale of several low-yielding vessels. The success in securing new loans has demonstrated support from banks and enables the Company to optimize the capital structure.Contracts on hand as at end September 2024 amounted to US$71.4 million.Dividend paymentBased on the strong results in the first 9 months of 2024, the Directors have declared the payment of an interim dividend of Rp8 per share, totaling Rp34.92billion or US$2.25million.  More information on the recording date can be found on our website.About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 48 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters.

By extensively and proactively integrating innovative technologies into business scenarios, such as Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), the company has developed various types of technology applications to enhance their productivity and resource utilization with smarter production processes. Coupled with digitization, the company has optimized the supply chain management, reduced wastes of resources and improved the transparency of the entire value chain.

The two award-winning projects of CR Beer that highlight digital intelligence have not only demonstrated a win-win situation for economic and environmental benefits through digital transformation, but have also highlighted its role as an enabler of social and digital economic development, showcasing its corporate responsibility.“It is such an honor to receive these two valuable awards, and the recognition of our efforts in digital transformation. We are further convinced to uphold longtermism, and to accelerate all-round development in terms of globalization, premiumization, greening, cultural innovation and so on,” said Mr. Chen Xue Qiang, Deputy Director of Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer. “We would not have developed these two benchmark projects and outcompeted others without our critical partner, China Entercom, and its innovative ICT technologies and solutions. Our partnership dates back to 2019, and our teams have gained mutual trust in those five years so that we have achieved successful digitization regarding innovative technology and business innovation services. Far beyond being a provider of technologies, solutions and services, China Entercom is the trusted partner of CR Beer’s digital transformation journey.”Mr. Tao Zhi Bin, Deputy Director of Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer, said, “ At the IDC conference, CR Beer's green factory with digital intelligence was honored “Future of Digital Industry Navigator Case”.

Our next step will be riding on the wave of the digital economy, while pursuing innovation in digital intelligence, boosting high-quality development in ‘AI+ Cloud, Network, Security’ solutions, and accelerating the advancement of the ICT industry. We are committed to making technology the ultimate business enabler, promoting high-quality development with innovation and intelligence.”From the Present to the Future: China Entercom Customizes a Future-Proof “All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security” Platform for CR Beer to Realize Digital IntelligenceHeadquartered in Beijing, CR Beer is one of the significant members of China Resources Group in terms of the consumer sector, and also a pioneer with a history spanning over 30 years in the domestic alcoholic beverage industry. In view of aggregate sales, CR Beer has been top-ranked in the Chinese beer market since 2006, however, the market competition has become fiercer with the change in market demands and consumption needs, notably the trends of premiumization and diversification among the leading enterprises in the past few years. CR Beer realized digitization and intelligentization are the keys to capture the market, so it implemented the “3+3+3” corporate development strategy for premiumization in 2017, moved towards technology productization in 2020, and recently launched a dual empowerment model of “Beer and Baijiu”.To achieve digital transformation, CR Beer needs to generate higher values from technologies and foster business growth by addressing the preexisting challenges. More importantly, it needs a reliable partner with technological expertise, tailor-made solutions, exceptional service capabilities and global resources to flexibly support its future businesses and advance the three critical objectives: (1) enhance network continuity and scalability, (2) improve network efficiency, and (3) reinforce the security protection of the entire digital infrastructure.“Having considered carefully and conducted rigorous technical tests, CR Beer decided to join hands with China Entercom. With its full-cycle support from customization, deployment and installation, implementation to operation and maintenance, we adopted its innovative suite of ‘All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security’ solutions (MPLS + SD-WAN + Security + SASE + Private Cloud). With this solution as a solid and secure foundation for digital transformation, CR Beer has experienced a seamless and highly efficient transformation journey, which is in line with the ultimate goals of our partnership,” said Mr. Chen Xue Qiang, Deputy Director of the Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer.IDC commented on “CR Beer’s One-Stop SD-WAN Hybrid Network” project, said: “This project has excelled and outcompeted others in network optimization, service delivery, technology innovation and low-carbon development. Additionally, the one-stop service provided by China Entercom not only streamlines the network management, but also ensures network stability and security with its round-the-clock monitoring function. With the integration of multiple innovative technologies, the customized ‘All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security’ solutions have addressed the digital transformation requirements of CR Beer. In particular, deploying the private cloud in the low-carbon data center is apparently a proactive approach to environmental protection and low-carbon operation, providing an excellent paradigm of both economic benefits and social responsibility commitments, setting a benchmark for the industry.”Rooted in China, Connecting Globally: China Entercom as the long-term partner of CR Beer’s Globalization StrategyCR Beer is committed to fulfilling its responsibility as a subsidiary of China Resources Group, actively promoting the “Belt and Road” Initiative and global development. To connect globally, the company first established a global strategic partnership with Heineken Group in 2019 under the “Going Global” policy, making China the second largest market for Heineken. By leveraging the global resources of China Entercom and its parent company CITIC Telecom CPC, the next step of CR Beer is to promote a comprehensive digital transformation with network improvement as the basis, realizing automated workflow and intelligent decision support. Meanwhile, the company is looking forward to boosting operational efficiency and responsiveness to drive rapid business growth and expand its market presence along the “Belt and Road”, in Southeast Asia, Europe and the global market.Mr. Henry Ko, General Manager of Enterprise Sales, China Entercom, said, “The cooperation between China Entercom and CR Beer started at the initial stage of its digital transformation journey. As an industry leader, CR Beer has more heightened requirements of digital transformation — cost reduction, higher efficiency, and most importantly, holistically solving current pain points and challenges for a better future. And this is where our strengths lie. Having worked with a variety of industries for more than 20 years, China Entercom is well aware that forward-looking technologies and services offered by solution providers are the keys to maximizing clients’ IT investment efficiency.”“There are some prerequisites for new technology applications to attain cost reduction and efficiency enhancement during digital transformation. The first is to select the right technologies and solutions, and the second is to carry out customized implementation and deployment for better business development. In other words, choosing the right partner matters. It is a great pleasure to be the right partner for CR Beer, and to be working together since the very beginning of its digital transformation, which it has eventually achieved higher efficiency with technologies,” continued Mr. Ko.Beer with ICT Innovations: CR Beer Adds a Hint of New Technology FlavorThe in-depth cooperation between CR Beer and China Entercom demonstrates the convergence of innovative ICT technologies with the traditional alcoholic beverage industry, resembling a brewer blending liquors delicately. The next stage of cooperation is reportedly in the direction of going globally, AI+ and SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS).“Under the leadership of Mr. Guo Hua, Chief Digital Officer of CR Beer, the information technology team is actively promoted ‘Five Transformations, Three Concentrations, One Core, and Four Platforms as the transformation framework to comprehensively promote the implementation of the digital strategy, committed to aligning with top international standards.  As we strongly support the digitalization of our business systems, we consistently enhance infrastructure development and information security. In parallel, we are proactively delving into the implementation of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, aiming to propel our digital transformation efforts.  Our goal is to establish a globally competitive IT brand and highlight the distinctive value of CR Beer and its IT division through recognition at the IDC awards.  We anticipate our continued collaboration with China Entercom, strategically mapping out our long-term partnership to achieve a more robust digital transformation and sustainable development,” concluded Mr. Chen Xue Qiang, Deputy Director of the Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer.References[1]Source: CR Beer[2]https://www.jnexpert.com/article/detail?id=4040About IDC Future Enterprise Awards ChinaIn its ninth year, the IDC Future Enterprise Awards recognize remarkable institutions, organizations and/or individuals that have showcased critical efforts and breakthroughs in digital transformation.

傑夫·貝索斯表示華盛頓郵報拒絕背書以解決「信譽差距」

(SeaPRwire) -   亞馬遜公司(Amazon.com Inc.)創始人、華盛頓郵報(Washington Post)老闆傑夫·貝佐斯(Jeff Bezos)表示,該報停止為總統候選人背書的決定,是為了應對媒體行業面臨的「信譽缺失」。 貝佐斯在郵報網站上發表的文章中寫道:「大多數人認為媒體有偏見。任何不認同這一點的人,對現實的關注程度都很低。」 貝佐斯還表示,郵報的這一舉動與前總統唐納·川普(Donald Trump)在宣布該消息當天與藍色起源(Blue Origin)高管會面的事件無關。 貝佐斯寫道:「當我得知此事時,我嘆了口氣,因為我知道這將為那些想把這件事說成是別有用心的人提供彈藥。」 郵報出版人威廉·路易斯(William Lewis)於 10 月 25 日宣布,該報將不再在總統選舉中選邊站隊,而這一點自 1978 年以來一直是該報的慣例。編輯部原本打算支持川普的民主黨競爭對手、副總統卡瑪拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris)。 這一決定引發了內外批評。多名編輯和作家辭職。據美國全國公共廣播電台(National Public Radio)報導,多達 20 萬名訂閱者(佔總數的 8%)取消了訂閱。郵報發言人拒絕置評。 批評這一決定的包括前郵報執行主編班·布拉德利(Ben Bradlee),以及揭露水門醜聞、導致美國總統理查德·尼克森(Richard Nixon)辭職的郵報記者卡爾·伯恩斯坦(Carl Bernstein)和鮑勃·伍德沃德(Bob Woodward)。 貝佐斯在他的文章中表示,總統背書「對選舉結果毫無影響」。相反,它們「會讓人覺得有偏見」。  這讓社交媒體帖子和其他未經證實的新聞來源得以填補空白。他敦促讀者意識到,像背書決定這樣的變化是必要的。  貝佐斯寫道:「我不會允許這份報紙繼續保持自動駕駛狀態,並逐漸變得毫無意義,被沒有經過研究的播客和社交媒體的尖刻言論所取代——在沒有反抗的情況下。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

香港股票分析師協會主席鄧聲興專訪僑雄國際主席李立中

香港, 2024年10月28日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 隨着科技的高速發展,數碼技術正以新理念、新業態、新模式全面融入人類經濟、政治、文化、社會、生態文明建設各領域和全過程,給人類生產生活帶來廣泛而深刻的影響,中國正在加速進入數字時代。在這個過程當中,以信息技術、區塊鏈、人工智能為代表的新興科技的發展和應用,將成為推動企業數碼化轉型的關鍵因素。作為一家多元化業務的投資控股公司,僑雄國際(00381.HK)成立三十餘年來紮實運營實業,同時不斷整合公司資源,開拓具有盈利潛力的投資機會。10月4日,僑雄國際發佈公告,委任李立中為執行董事兼聯席主席,隨後在10月10日公司再次發佈公告宣佈擬更名為權識國際集團股份有限公司。一系列動作顯示公司正在加快數字媒體經銷行業佈局,進一步豐富業務的多元化結構,推動公司更加穩步向前。日前,僑雄國際執行董事兼聯席主席李立中接受香港股票分析師協會主席鄧聲興博士連線專訪,首次對外界透露其對僑雄國際集團未來的展望以及各個業務板塊發展戰略的思考。資料顯示,李立中長期從事人工智能、元宇宙、智聯網絡、區塊鏈科學研究,這些領域的研究成果不僅推動了科技進步,而且為人類的生活帶來了巨大的改變。其工作成果向世界展示了中國科學家的智慧和實力,也為中國在科技領域的發展做出了重要貢獻。李立中表示,隨着智能時代的到來,人工智能提升生產力可能導致供給端和消費能力不匹配,出現產銷雙滯的情況。利用區塊鏈技術和web3.0這種數字經濟的新形態、新業態、新物種來重構生產關係,可以將個體從單純的打工人轉變為生產資料提供者,使更多人能夠參與到生產和價值創造過程中,從而更有效地配置人力、物力等資源,提高資源的利用效率,緩解經濟循環不暢的問題。在專訪中,李立中提出了共產經濟權識生態的概念,旨在通過區塊鏈技術實現生產資料的共享和共建。在這個生態中,每個參與者都可以成為生產資料的提供者、使用者和受益者。通過生產資料映射,可以確保每個參與者的權益得到保障,實現公平、公正、透明的分配機制,這種重構的分配機制將提升民眾的收入水平和消費能力,從而解決產能過剩的問題。李立中進一步解釋稱,該生態模式有助於實現第一次財富分配的相對平衡。通過讓更多人成為產業生態的共產者、共建者,參與剩餘價值分配體系,能夠增加民眾的收入來源,縮小貧富差距,為實現共同富裕提供一種新的途徑和思路。與此同時,權識的高溢價、高增值可以大幅增強民眾的消費能力,這對於企業來說,能夠加快產品的銷售和庫存的消化,降低企業的運營成本和風險,促進企業的健康發展,進而推動整個產業經濟的正循環。李立中指出,通過區塊鏈技術重構生產關係,可以推動經濟模式的創新和發展。傳統的經濟模式往往依賴於中心化的機構或平台,而區塊鏈技術可以實現去中心化的經濟模式,降低交易成本,提高交易效率。李立中表示,共產經濟權識生態的實現需要依託區塊鏈等新興技術,這將推動相關技術的不斷發展和創新。同時,這種新的經濟模式也為技術創新提供了更廣闊的應用場景和市場需求,加速技術與經濟的融合,促進新質生產力的發展。「該模式打破了傳統的經濟模式和生產關係,鼓勵人們以新的方式參與經濟活動,為經濟發展帶來新的思路和方法。這將激發社會的創新活力,推動產業的升級和轉型,促進經濟的可持續發展。」 李立中說。對於生產數據動態確權的問題,李立中透露,其早在2018年就申請了區塊鏈AOM權識專利技術(專利號:201810475808.3)和區塊鏈行為數據挖礦的專利授權(專利號:201810018810.8),僑雄國際可以利用這些核心專利技術,致力於為產業數據動態確權,真正的讓web3.0與實體經濟實現交叉融合,從而推動企業數字經濟轉型。李立中表示,區塊鏈技術為生產數據的動態確權提供了一種創新且有效的解決方案。通過數字身份、智能合約、數據加密和區塊鏈存證等技術手段,可以確保數據的真實性、完整性和可追溯性,為數據的確權提供可靠的技術支持。談到僑雄國際的數碼化轉型升級,李立中指出,隨着國家「十四五」規劃的提出,數碼化轉型已成為各行各業的發展趨勢。僑雄國際作為一家多元化的企業,面臨着市場競爭和業務增長的雙重壓力,因此迫切需要進行數碼化轉型升級。僑雄國際希望通過數碼技術,提供更加個性化、智能化的產品和服務,滿足消費者的多樣化需求,拓展新的市場渠道,為公司帶來了新的業務增長點和發展機遇。「僑雄國際未來會通過相關專利技術對公司各板塊業務做全方位的數位經濟轉型,通過生產資料的標識化,為公司的各個板塊注入新的價值與活力。更名為權識國際並推動數碼化轉型升級,是公司應對市場競爭、實現業務增長的重要舉措。」 李立中稱。除此以外,李立中還提出,基於「十四五」規劃所帶來的數碼化新浪潮,各行各業將獲得更多發展機遇,面對中國社會經濟發展新階段、新特徵,僑雄國際未來將利用數碼化轉型技術賦能於香港的所有的上市公司和實體產業,向數字媒體經銷等方向穩定發展,進一步豐富公司業務的多元化結構。李立中認為,實體經濟和數字經濟相輔相成。數字經濟有着更豐富的外延,能夠催生新業態、新物種、新模式,實體經濟升級後能轉變成對應的數字經濟,成為數字經濟的一部分,這可能是未來的一種生活方式,所以加快發展數字經濟是大勢所趨,需要行業先鋒主動出擊,迎接挑戰,切實把技術和產業融合起來,推動好技術、好概念真正落地。國家層面也會加大政策扶持力度,完善政策保障體系,提升企業數碼化轉型積極性,助力實現共同富裕。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

警方稱俄勒岡州和華盛頓州的選票箱縱火案有關聯

(SeaPRwire) -   波特蘭,俄勒岡州 - 警方週一表示,已鎖定一輛「可疑車輛」,與在俄勒岡州和華盛頓州設置縱火裝置燒毀投票箱有關。 波特蘭警察局發言人麥克·班納在新聞發布會上表示,監控影像捕捉到一輛沃爾沃汽車在波特蘭,俄勒岡州的一個投票箱前停下,就在附近保安人員發現箱子內起火之前。 這場火災損壞了箱子裡的 3 張選票,而官員表示,週一凌晨在附近溫哥華,華盛頓州的另一個投票箱發生的一場火災,摧毀了數百張選票。警方表示,這些裝置被安裝在投票箱的外部。 當局在波特蘭的新聞發布會上表示,從縱火裝置中回收的材料足以證明週一的兩起火災是相關的——而且它們也與 10 月 8 日發生的一起事件有關,當時一個縱火裝置被放置在溫哥華的另一個投票箱裡。 「令人心碎,」克拉克縣,華盛頓州的長期當選審計長格雷格·金西說,該縣包括溫哥華。「這對民主制度的直接攻擊。」 華盛頓州和俄勒岡州的投票箱都配備了消防抑止系統,設計成當箱內溫度達到一定程度時就會啟動,用滅火粉末覆蓋箱內的選票。 該系統似乎在波特蘭的投票箱中發揮了作用,並且保安人員就在附近幫助滅火。穆特諾馬縣選舉主任蒂姆·斯科特說,該縣已與私人保安公司簽訂合約,安排「巡邏隊」在全縣 24 小時不間斷地巡邏,並「監視」所有投票箱。 他說,其中一名警衛在縣選舉辦公室,聽到一聲類似爆炸的聲音——可能是滅火系統啟動的聲音——並報警。 由於未知原因,該系統未能阻止溫哥華數百張選票被毀,該城市位於哥倫比亞河對岸,與波特蘭隔河相望。 溫哥華是華盛頓州第三國會選區最大的城市,預計該選區將在該國出現最激烈的競爭,參選者為現任民主黨議員瑪麗·格呂森坎普·佩雷斯和共和黨挑戰者喬·肯特。 「我希望對這一令人髮指行為的肇事者能夠迅速逮捕——並且當地和聯邦執法部門在我的全力支持下,努力確保我們民主進程的安全和可靠,」格呂森坎普·佩雷斯在一份聲明中說。 她說,她要求在克拉克縣的所有投票箱附近部署全天候執法力量,一直到選舉日。 「華盛頓州西南部不能冒任何選票因縱火和政治暴力而丟失的風險,」她的聲明中寫道。 肯特競選團隊的代表沒有立即回覆電話和電子郵件,尋求置評。 波特蘭警察局表示,那裡的火災發生在凌晨 3:30 左右。穆特諾馬縣選舉辦公室表示,只有三張選票在那裡被損壞,並且該辦公室計劃聯繫這些選民,幫助他們獲得替換選票。 幾個小時後,溫哥華的電視攝製組拍攝到煙霧從一個交通中心的一個投票箱中冒出的畫面。 金西說,那裡有監控攝像頭覆蓋了投票箱及其周圍區域。 金西說,交通中心投票箱的最後一次選票取走時間是在週六上午 11 點。任何在那之後投了票的人都應聯繫審計長辦公室,以便獲得新的選票。 金西說,該辦公室將增加收集選票的頻率,並將收集時間更改為晚上,以防止投票箱在晚上充滿選票,因為在晚上更容易發生類似罪行。 10 月 8 日凌晨,在溫哥華市中心的另一個投票箱上或附近也發現了縱火裝置。警方說,它沒有損壞投票箱或毀壞任何選票。 聯邦調查局在一份聲明中表示,它正在與聯邦、州和地方合作夥伴協調,積極調查這兩起事件。任何有線索的人都被要求聯繫最近的聯邦調查局辦公室,通過  提供信息,或者撥打  (  )。 華盛頓州國務卿史蒂夫·霍布斯表示,該州不會容忍旨在破壞投票的威脅或暴力行為。 「我強烈譴責任何旨在破壞華盛頓州合法和公平選舉的恐怖行為,」他說。 鼓勵選民通過  在線查看他們的選票狀態,以跟踪其返回狀態。國務卿辦公室表示,如果一張退回的選票未被標記為「已收到」,選民可以打印一張替換選票,或者前往當地的選舉部門領取替換選票。 華盛頓州和俄勒岡州都是郵寄投票州。在選舉前幾週,註冊選民會收到郵寄的選票,然後通過郵寄或將其放入投票箱中返回。 上週在菲尼克斯,官員表示,在當地一家美國郵政服務站的投票箱中發生火災後,大約 5 張選票被毀,其他選票被損壞。 ___ 亞特蘭大的克里斯蒂娜·A·卡西迪和檀香山的珍妮弗·辛科·凱勒為本文做出了貢獻。約翰遜從西雅圖報道。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(TSX.V:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) (" Q2 " or the " Company ") is pleased to report the core assay results on drill holes CS-24-017, 019 and 021 from the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property (the " Property " or the " Cisco Property ") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. All drill holes intersected pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified."The results for drill hole 21 have been widely anticipated and it has delivered," said Alicia Milne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Q2 Metals. "We still have three more drill holes to report and are in the process of planning an accelerated exploration program in 2025 to understand the true potential at the Cisco Lithium Property."" The results of the continuous, greater than 300 metres interval, has been yet another piece of validation to the story of Cisco, " said Neil McCallum, Vice President Exploration of the Company. "W e've drilled some world-class intervals already, but the development of Cisco is still in its infancy and we look forward to continuing our understanding of the project through further drilling in 2025."The analytical results reported herein represent 1,431.1 m of drilling over three (3) holes during the summer drill campaign; with analytical results remaining to be reported on three (3) additional drill holes that were completed (drill holes CS-24-020, 022 and 023).Complete highlighted intervals from holes CS-24-017, 019 and 021 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1, with two cross sections in Figures 2 and 3.Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Holes with Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyDrill holes CS-24-017 and 019 targeted the western portions of the wide mineralized zone. The results reveal several separate mineralized intervals including the widest interval of 71.8 m at 1.01% Li 2 O, including 13.3 m at 1.77% Li 2 O in CS-24-017and 56.8 m at 1.06% Li 2 O, including 9.1 m at 1.80% Li 2 O in CS-24-019 .Drill hole CS-24-021 (Hole 21) targeted the central portions of the wide mineralized zone with results of 347.1 m at 1.35% Li 2 O, including seven (7) higher-grade sub-intervals, including 30 m at 1.76% Li 2 O. Hole 21 is located approximately 200 m north of hole CS-24-018 which assays reported a 215.6 m interval at 1.69% Li 2 O, including 64.6 m at 2.29% Li 2 O. Hole 21 is also located south of hole CS-24-010 which assays reported a 120.3 m interval of 1.72% Li 2 O.Figure 2. Cross Section A (looking northeast)Figure 3. Cross Section B (looking northeast)Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyAll intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. 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. Drill hole collar information has been previously reported for each drill hole reported herein and is also available at: https://www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/.Due to the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols in place by both the Company and the analytical laboratory (SGS Canada), drill hole CS-24-020, and the uppermost pegmatite interval of drill hole CS-24-021 were re-submitted for testing. Results will be reported when received and reviewed by the Company.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 ProtocolsAll 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 reported by SGS Canada as lithium oxide (Li 2 O). 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.
