China’s Largest Agricultural Internet Company Yimutian Set to List on Nasdaq
HONG KONG, July 23, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Yimutian Inc., a leading B2B digital service provider for agricultural products in China, filed a prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 9, seeking to list on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol YMT. The offering price range is set at $4.10 to $5.00 per share, and aiming to raise up to $20 million. Chairman Jinhong Deng and his team are currently conducting a roadshow in the U.S., showcasing Yimutian's unique business model and its profound impact on Chinese agriculture, with the listing expected to be completed by the end of July.Founded in 2011, Yimutian has evolved from a basic information service platform into a comprehensive digital agriculture enterprise covering the entire agricultural supply chain. To date, it has served over 56 million users and attracted investments from top-tier firms such as Sequoia Capital, Yunfeng Capital, and DST Global. Today, it stands as the leading agricultural internet company in China.According to its prospectus, Yimutian is the largest agricultural B2B platform in mainland China in terms of monthly active merchants in 2024. Its core business revolves around the Yimutian app, a digital platform connecting supply and demand for agricultural products. The app primarily serves farm-origin brokers, wholesale market buyers, supermarkets, and e-commerce platforms.Agricultural brokers form a key user base for Yimutian a reflection of the unique dynamics of Chinese agriculture. According to the USDA's 2022 Agricultural Census,the U.S. has approximately 1.9 million family farms covering 880 million acres,with an average farm size of 463 acres and sales primarily through direct channels.In stark contrast, China's agricultural landscape is dominated by smallholder farmers: more than 98% of farmers cultivate over 70% of the country's farmland, with per capita arable land standing at just 0.5 acres. This fragmented, non-standardized production system creates a critical role for brokers, who connect farmers and buyers, managing sourcing, preparation, and logistics. Estimates suggest there are approximately 6 million such farm brokers in China.So far, nearly 800,000 of these brokers are already active on the Yimutian platform - a number that continues to grow annually. Many brokers pay for exposure through ads and verification services, generating revenue for the company. Thanks to its stable internet-driven business, Yimutian reported 2024 revenue of RMB 160 million (approximately $22 million).The market potential is immense. According to Frost & Sullivan, China's primary agricultural product circulation reached RMB 5.5 trillion (around $760 billion) in 2024. As new consumption trends such as e-commerce and group buying reshape the market, more brokers are sourcing directly from production areas - creating fresh opportunities for digitized brokerage services.In 2024,to meet the growing demand for professional and standardized brokerage services, Yimutian launched its offline chain store brand 'Wolaicai'. Leveraging 14 years of accumulated buyer channels and market data, the company uses digital tools, the internet,and Al to redesign a more standardized and efficient brokerage process.These stores provide buyers with nationwide sourcing, accurate market insights, professional fulfillment,and reliable after-sales services.Wolaicai's model is reminiscent of Beike (KE Holdings), the NYSE-listed real estate brokerage platform, though focused on agriculture rather than housing. Like Beike, Wolaicai aims to standardize and scale the brokerage industry. Dozens of Wolaicai stores have already opened across China, with more in the pipeline.Beike, at its peak, achieved a market capitalization exceeding $60 billion, serving 46,000 stores and about 500,000 agents. The agricultural brokerage sector dwarfs this in terms of agent numbers and transaction volumes. Farm brokers typically earn commissions of 5% or more - significantly higher than the 1-3% seen in real estate - and transaction frequency is far greater. With its deep digital roots and robust data assets, Wolaicai is positioned to unlock substantial growth in this trillion-dollar market.Currently, Chinese agricultural companies listed in the U.S.are primarily traditional input suppliers or livestock enterprises.Yimutian stands out as the only internet-based company covering China's entire agricultural supply chain. This positions it to fully apitalize onChina's policy support for rural development and to lead in discovering and driving innovative business opportunities.Yimutian's listing marks a significant milestone for Chinese digital agricultural technology companies on the global stage.It offers global investors an unprecedented opportunity to participate in China's booming rural revitalization efforts and share in the value growth of China's agricultural modernization.

Prototype divertor outer vertical target for the ITER fusion experimental reactor is completed and the sample has passed the ITER Organization’s certification test
- Rationalization of domestic production technologies and strengthening of the system in Japan for manufacturing divertor outer vertical targets for ITER- Seeking to contribute to the ITER Project and provide components for the prototype reactor for fusion energy and startup machinesTOKYO, July 23, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, "Hitachi") and the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (“QST”) began developing a second prototype, a full-scale mockup of an outer vertical target*1 which is one of the most important components of a divertor in January 2022. Divertors are important pieces of components used in the ITER fusion*2 experimental reactor that is under construction in Southern France. With streamlining the production method through measures such as the introduction of an automatic welding system as detailed below, we completed the second prototype in March 2025. Furthermore, we today announce that a high-heat-load sample of an outer vertical target has passed the rigorous certification test by the ITER Organization, which constructs and operates ITER as an international organization. Hitachi's production technologies have earned significant recognition following the preceding company which completed the first prototype with QST in July 2024.*1 QST will deliver 58 outer vertical targets to the ITER Organization. The preceding company manufactured 18 of these. The company that will manufacture the remaining 40 targets will be decided later.*2 Fusion is the source of the energy that keeps the sun shining. To realize fusion energy on Earth, it is necessary to use nuclear fusion reactions where deuterium, tritium and other light atomic nuclei fuse in a plasma state and become heavier atomic nuclei such as helium. Lithium, the raw material for tritium, and Deuterium are abundantly available in seawater. Additionally, the generation of fusion energy does not result in the generation of CO₂. For this reason, fusion energy is expected to fundamentally solve energy and environmental issues. See *5 regarding plasma.Utilizing the technologies and knowledge obtained through the production of the prototype, Hitachi and QST will continue to contribute to the promotion of the ITER Project and also cooperate in the development of technologies for realizing fusion energy in the future. In addition, Hitachi seeks to provide divertors and similar in-vessel components to fusion energy-related startups and a prototype fusion reactor for which QST is investigating the design.The second prototype outer vertical targetHigh-heat-load sample of an outer vertical targetOutline of ITER and divertorsTo realize fusion energy, seven regions including Japan, Europe, the United States, Russia, South Korea, China and India are promoting the ITER Project, a large international project aimed at conducting scientific and technological demonstrations of fusion. With the goal of achieving full operation through nuclear fusion burning, the ITER experimental reactor is under construction in Saint-Paul-les-Durance, France. Japan is taking on important roles such as the development and production of major pieces of ITER components including divertors and toroidal field coils (TF coils). QST is the ITER Project's agent in Japan and it promotes the procurement of equipment.The divertor is one of the most important components of a tokamak*3 and other magnetic confinement*4 fusion reactors. Divertors play an important role in maintaining the stability of the nuclear fusion reaction and exhausting impurities such as fuel residue and the helium generated by the nuclear fusion reaction in the reactor core plasma.*5 Divertors are the only tokamak devices capable of directly receiving plasma. They are used in a severe environment where they are exposed to heat load and particle load from the plasma. For this reason, special materials such as tungsten are used to make them. Tungsten has a high-melting-point but it is difficult to machine. Moreover, the plasma-facing surfaces are precisely shaped, requiring high-precision machining and assembly technologies to achieve the correct overall shape, inclination, steps and gaps that are accurate to 0.5 mm or less. It is believed that divertors are the hardest piece of the ITER in-vessel components to manufacture.*3 The method, represented by ITER and JT-60SA, retains an ultra-high temperature plasma that is more than 100 million degrees or higher within a strong magnetic field in a vacuum, and nuclear fusion reactions occur within the plasma. See *5 regarding plasma. See *11 for information about JT-60SA.*4 Fusion plasma is at very high temperature and cannot be kept in a conventional container, but it retains positively or negatively charged ions and characteristically becomes entangled in magnetic fields (lines of magnetic force). Using these characteristics, a magnetic confinement fusion reactor forms a basket-like magnetic field to retain plasma.*5 Plasma is one of the four basic states of matter. It is the fourth state next to solid, liquid and gas. When matter is exposed to very high temperatures or a strong electromagnetic field, atoms break down and separate to positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons, and they form plasma.The heat load on divertors reaches a maximum of 20 megawatts per square meter. This is equivalent to the surface heat load that an asteroid probe is exposed to when entering the atmosphere and much more than the surface heat load the space shuttle was subjected to. Outer vertical targets need to have a strong mechanical structure because they are subject to strong electromagnetic forces that can reach an approx. maximum of 16.5 tons. The establishment of technology for making divertors resistant to high heat loads and huge electromagnetic forces is a very important part of increasing the power output of fusion reactors, reducing the size of the reactors or increasing their magnetic fields in the future.Characteristics of the technology for the production of the second prototypeQST leads the manufacturers' material development efforts, regarding them as key technology for enabling divertors to withstand heat load that can be as high as 20 megawatts per square meter. Consequently, the company established methods of producing tungsten monoblocks*6 which do not break even under heat load, and copper alloy cooling pipes which are kept strong by maintaining high thermal conductivity while limiting the coarsening of their crystal grain. To bond these materials together, a brazing*7 technology that is resistant to high heat load has also been developed.*6 This is one of the components of the outer vertical targets that are a combination of tungsten, a metal that is resistant to heat load, and a copper buffer material.*7 A method of bonding metals. The technology uses a metal called a brazing material to bond base materials to each other. In contrast, welding is a method of bonding metals by welding a base material.By combining technologies and experience which are accumulated over many years in the nuclear energy business, Hitachi has developed a defect-free, high-quality welding technology for special materials and a non-destructive technology for inspecting restricted and complex shapes, and repeated demonstration testing has shown that Hitachi has achieved the high-precision machining and assembly technology that is accurate to 0.5 mm or less, a requirement of the ITER Organization. To rationalize production processes and costs, an automatic welding system optimized specially for divertors was introduced for welding thick, high-strength stainless steel. Instead of manual work, a robotic arm with a welding torch attached is combined with a device that controls the position of the object to be welded in synchronization with the movement of the robotic arm, resulting in higher quality welding at low cost.The special materials necessary for outer vertical targets are procured by QST from material manufacturers and are supplied to Hitachi which uses the special materials provided by QST to machine and assemble outer vertical targets in a strictly quality-controlled process. QST maintains and uses a high-temperature helium leak test facility*8 for the in-vessel components of fusion reactors that is the only one of its kind in Japan, and it independently conducts final tests to ensure the quality of the divertors.*8 The test facility uses helium gas to check for leaks with high precision at a high temperature of 250'C which is the environment that divertors will be used in.Initiatives implemented by Hitachi and QST to dateTo date, Hitachi and QST have been developing and manufacturing an ultra-high-voltage power supply system*9 with a voltage of 1 million volts for neutral beam injectors*10 for ITER.

Launch of Beova(R) Tablets in Thailand for Overactive Bladder
TOKYO, July 23, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) and KYORIN Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.(Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Yutaka Ogihara, “KYORIN”) announced today that Eisai (Thailand) Marketing Co., Ltd. (“Eisai Thailand”), a subsidiary of Eisai, has launched overactive bladder treatment Beova® Tablets (generic name vibegron) in Thailand.In 2021, Eisai acquired exclusive development and marketing rights from KYORIN for the agent in ASEAN member states Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei. Eisai Thailand submitted an application for marketing authorization in Thailand in March 2023, and received approval in June 2024. This launch is the first within Eisai’s licensed region. In addition to the release in Thailand, approval has also been obtained in the Philippines and Malaysia, with preparations underway for market entry.Overactive bladder (OAB) is a urological condition with trouble in pooling urine in the bladder. It's predominant symptom is an urge to urinate, which is often accompanied by frequent urination and nocturia, and in some cases by urge urinary incontinence. One of the major problems of OAB is the fact that patients refrain from leaving the house due to anxiety about going to the bathroom, cannot get enough sleep at night, or face limitations in their daily activities, which could lead to significantly-reduced quality of life.Appropriate treatment is necessary for OAB, which increases with age but has also been reported to becaused by brain or spinal cord disorders such as cerebrovascular diseases (cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction), Parkinson's disease, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.1 The prevalence of OAB in Thailand is reported to be 15.8%.2This agent is a selective B3-adrenergic receptor agonist administered once daily, acting selectively on B3 receptors in the bladder, relaxing the bladder to enhance urine collection, and consequently improving the symptoms of urgency, urinary frequency and urge urinary incontinence associated with OAB.In September 2009, KYORIN and Eisai signed a license agreement for the development and marketing in Asia of Uritos® Tablets (generic name: imidafenacin), a therapeutic agent for overactive bladder, discovered and developed by KYORIN, and as of today Eisai sells Uritos in Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. In addition to Uritos, Eisai will provide patients with new treatment options for OAB through the launch of Beova in Thailand and make further contributions to improving the quality of life and increasing benefits to patients with OAB in Asia.1. About Eisai Co., Ltd.Eisai's Corporate Concept is "to give first thought to patients and people in the daily living domain, and to increase the benefits that health care provides."

About vibegronVibegron was discovered by Merck & Co., Rahway, N.J., U.S.A. (known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada) as a once-daily oral treatment for overactive bladder (OAB), which acts selectively on the bladder's B3-adrenergic receptor agonists. Vibegron selectively acts on B3 receptors in the bladder and increases bladder capacity by enhancing the bladder-relaxing effect of noradrenaline during the urinary storage phase, resulting in the improvement of incontinence symptoms of urinary urgency, frequent urination and urge urinary incontinence with OAB. KYORIN has obtained exclusive rights for developing, manufacturing and marketing of this drug in Japan (July 2014) and Asia* (April2017) from Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, N.J., U.S.A.In Eisai’s licensed territories (Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei), in addition to it's new launch in Thailand, approvals have been obtained in the Philippines and Malaysia, with preparations underway for market entry. In Japan, KYORIN and Kissei have jointly developed the agent locally under a co-development and co-marketing agreement entered into as of March 2016. Since November 2018, the two companies have been jointly marketing it under the product name of “Beova® Tablets 50mg”.*South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and 10 member states of ASEAN1 Clinical Guidelines for Overactive Bladder Syndrome 3rd Edition (Japanese only)2 ICS2024 Abstract 554 https://www.ics.org/2024/abstract/554Media InquiriesEisai Co., Ltd.Public Relations DepartmentTEL: +81-(0)3-3817-5120KYORIN Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.Corporate PlanningTEL: +81-(0)3-6374-9702 Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

西岸地區暴力「加薩化」 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 所有目光都集中在加薩以及五個其他戰線（黎巴嫩的真主黨、葉門的胡塞組織、敘利亞和伊拉克的伊朗民兵，以及伊朗本身）的影響之際，很少有人注意到西岸暴力事件的加劇。即使是7月初美國公民被謀殺，以及在前往拜訪這位被殺美國人家屬的途中，美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）的工作人員遭到西岸暴力屯墾者的襲擊，也未能引起人們對這個日益不穩定的火藥庫的關注，這個火藥庫是由令人不安的因素匯集而成的。 儘管唐納·川普總統1月初關於寬恕屯墾者的決定發出了錯誤的訊息，但當地一系列重大事態發展引發了西岸暴力事件的急劇增加：以色列極端分子抓住了他們認為的機會；他們的領導人利用政府平台提供支持；以色列國防軍（IDF）視而不見；以及許多巴勒斯坦年輕人訴諸武力。 籠罩在一切之上的是以色列吞併主義少數派中最極端的兩位領導人的陰影，自2022年末以來，總理本雅明·內塔尼亞胡委託他們負責與西岸政策直接相關的職位。 其中一位，伊塔馬·本-格維爾，是一位自稱的猶太至上主義者，控制著國家警察部隊。自上任以來，他頒布了一項關於猶太屯墾者恐怖分子的「放任」政策，放寬了擁有武器的先決條件，並優先考慮西岸屯墾者，發起了一場讓以色列人武裝自己的運動。 另一位，比撒列·斯莫特里奇，利用他作為財政部長和國防部部長的雙重身份，為他公開宣佈的三個目標服務：迅速擴張猶太屯墾區，增加對巴勒斯坦人移居的壓力，以及在財政上扼殺巴勒斯坦權力機構，以使其崩潰。 第三位，國防部長以色列·卡茨，於2024年11月22日火上澆油，剝奪了辛貝特（以色列國內安全機構）在處理猶太拘留者方面的一項重要工具：行政拘留。由於屯墾者聽從法律建議不與調查人員合作，並且通過秘密手段獲得的證據不能在公開法庭上使用，以免暴露消息來源，因此，在打擊恐怖主義（無論是來自極端屯墾者還是其他方面）方面，受法院監督的行政拘留長期以來都被證明是必不可少的。 在他們的領導人在如此有權勢的職位上任職的鼓舞下，極端屯墾者（現在已經有組織且武裝起來）充分利用了以色列公眾和世界各國普遍關注加薩的局勢。 結果是：在過去三年中，涉及武裝屯墾者襲擊巴勒斯坦村莊的事件數量急劇增加，在2025年上半年與去年同期相比翻了一番。 另一個因素與以色列國防軍（IDF）有關。由於其人力資源捉襟見肘，高級官員忙於應對來自多個戰線的同時挑戰，部署到西岸的部隊的低級指揮官往往不願與暴力屯墾者對抗，主要是因為他們得到了高級政府圈子的支持。 最後但同樣重要的是：由於西岸巴勒斯坦人日夜受到屯墾者的騷擾，面臨風險的巴勒斯坦年輕人發現以色列國防軍（IDF）和瀕臨破產的巴勒斯坦權力機構都無法保護他們的家人。加薩人民無盡的痛苦的照片加劇了這種易燃的混合物。由於沒有對更美好未來的希望，當然也沒有獨立（這是當前以色列政府強烈反對的），他們的長輩因納克巴的痛苦而傷痕累累，無法提出令人信服的理由來勸阻他們重複長輩們長期以來認為是錯誤的行為：武裝抵抗。因此，西岸的巴勒斯坦年輕人越來越傾向於加入激進組織或組建自己的組織，並拿起武器。 因此，以色列極端分子和激進化的巴勒斯坦人相互利用，互相利用來為暴力辯護，殺害無辜者，破壞財產，並冒著引發重大衝突的風險。 「恐怖主義就是恐怖主義，無論其宗教、種族或性別如何，」最近一封致以色列國防部長的緊急信函中宣佈。這封信函是以色列安全指揮官組織（CIS）（以色列最大的退役將軍和外交官團體，我是其中一員）的名義發出的，它提醒部長「有組織的猶太團體……正在點燃該地區」的嚴重後果。 「必須調動資源，」我們敦促道，「以便那些犯有恐怖主義罪行的人被逮捕、調查並迅速繩之以法。」 儘管即使是謀殺美國公民的事件也沒有改變這種態勢，但最近屯墾者襲擊了部署來保護他們的以色列國防軍（IDF）士兵，這可能已經改變了這種態勢。 即使是那些在受害者是巴勒斯坦人時可恥地視而不見的人（包括內塔尼亞胡總理）也突然意識到這種無法容忍。 「沒有一個文明國家能夠容忍暴力和無政府主義行為，例如燒毀軍事設施、破壞以色列國防軍（IDF）財產和襲擊該國公民的安全人員，」內塔尼亞胡宣稱。 相比之下，反對派領導人亞伊爾·拉皮德將這些事件描述為「猶太恐怖分子，犯罪團伙，他們感到得到了執政聯盟的支持。」 時間會證明，這次警鐘是否會觸發有效措施來結束猶太恐怖主義，這種恐怖主義與任何其他形式的恐怖主義一樣不道德。它還會損害以色列的安全和合法性。從我的角度來看，可以肯定的是：如果它沒有引發這些措施，這種暴力循環只會導致西岸的加薩化，對兩個民族都造成悲慘的後果，並進一步破壞以色列-巴勒斯坦地區以外的穩定。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。 ```
在特朗普執政下，旅遊業已經一落千丈。現在美國還要提高遊客的簽證費用
(SeaPRwire) - 自唐納·川普總統重返橢圓形辦公室以來，前往美國的旅遊人數急劇下降，在某些情況下，潛在的外國遊客越來越將目光轉向其他目的地。這正在損害美國經濟。 在5月份分析的184個國家中，美國是唯一一個被 World Travel & Tourism Council 預測在2025年遊客支出會下降的國家。 雖然WTTC估計比去年減少了125億美元，但 Forbes 報導稱，根據先前對增長的預期，與2025年的預期相比，實際的短缺更接近250億美元。 向遊客徵收的新費用可能只會增加另一個阻礙。 共和黨的大規模稅收和支出立法方案，被稱為「Big Beautiful Bill」，川普總統於7月4日將其簽署成為法律，其中有幾項條款調整了移民和遊客進入美國必須支付的費用。 其中對遊客來說最顯著的是一項新的「簽證誠信費」，至少為250美元，由「任何在簽發時獲得非移民簽證的外國人」支付。 根據該法案的文本，該費用不得免除或減少，並將在未來幾年根據通貨膨脹進行調整。 國務院發言人告訴TIME，國會頒布簽證誠信費是「為了支持政府加強移民執法、阻止簽證逾期和資助邊境安全的首要任務」。 該發言人還指出，國土安全部「負責實施這項費用」，而國土安全部的一位單獨發言人表示，該費用「需要在實施前進行跨部門協調」。 誰需要支付簽證誠信費？ 非移民簽證類別包括遊客、商務旅客、臨時工、學生等。 根據國務院的數據，即使在川普政府的邊境鎮壓下，今年到目前為止，每月已簽發約100萬張非移民簽證。 無需簽證即可進入美國的旅客，包括大多數的公民以及參與 Visa Waiver Program 的國家的國民，將無需支付簽證誠信費。 簽證誠信費可以退還嗎？ 根據該法案的文本，國土安全部部長「可以在非移民簽證到期後，向簽證誠信費的支付者提供退款」，前提是簽證持有人遵守了所有條件，並且「未在該有效期內尋求延長其入境期限，並在該期限的最後一天之後不遲於5天離開美國」，或者「在該有效期內，被批准延長其非移民身份或調整為合法永久居民身份」。 然而，無黨派的 Congressional Budget Office 在5月份對該法案與移民費用相關的條款進行分析時表示，預計「只有少數人會尋求退款」。 CBO解釋說，這是因為「許多非移民簽證的有效期為幾年；因此，在支付費用後的幾年內，大量非移民將沒有資格尋求退款」。 更不用說，「國務院需要幾年時間才能實施提供退款的流程」。 德克薩斯州移民律師事務所 Reddy Neuman Brown PC 的合夥人 Steven Brown 在7月15日的一篇部落格文章中指出，基於合規性的退款條款是「在移民費用結構中通常看不到的概念」。 他解釋說，其意圖是「通過將250美元視為可退還的保證金來激勵遵守美國移民法，本質上是獎勵那些遵守規則的人」。 然而，Brown 警告說，「該法律留下了幾個關鍵細節未解決」，包括誰將確定合規性以及需要哪些文件來啟動退款流程。 他寫道：「重要的是要注意，退款不是自動的。 舉證責任可能落在簽證持有人身上，以證明合規性並通過DHS尚未定義的未來流程主動要求退款。」 在此之前，簽證誠信費的潛在支付者應將其視為「不可退還的預付款，並相應地計劃」。 還收取哪些其他費用？ 簽證誠信費是在已經向前往美國的旅客收取的費用之上徵收的，包括 可以根據非移民簽證類別收取185美元或205美元的費用。 即使是 Visa Waiver Program 參與國的國民也必須支付 21 美元的費用，而川普的法案幾乎將其翻了一番，達到 40 美元。 川普的法案還將 Customs and Border Protection 要求的抵達-出境記錄費用從 6 美元提高到 24 美元。 CBO的分析估計，新的簽證誠信費以及 ESTA 和 Form I-94 費用的增加，將在未來10年內共同減少超過400億美元的赤字。 然而，川普的總體法案預計在同一時期內將增加超過4萬億美元的赤字。 代表和倡導國家旅遊業的非營利組織 U.S. Travel Association 在本月早些時候對該法案做出了複雜的反應。 USTA 總裁兼執行長 Geoff Freeman 表示：「在改善美國的旅遊基礎設施和安全方面，這項立法是向前邁出的一大步。」 他指出了對空中交通管制現代化、增加海關人員、生物識別出入境技術以及 2026 年國際足盟世界盃和 2028 年洛杉磯奧運會等重大賽事的規劃的投資。 儘管如此，Freeman 批評了 Brand USA，即美國官方的目的地行銷組織，以及對遊客徵收的各種費用上漲。 Freeman 說：「提高合法國際遊客的費用，相當於對我們國家最大的出口產品之一：國際旅遊支出徵收自加關稅。」 「這些費用不會再投資於改善旅遊體驗，只會在外國遊客已經擔心歡迎體驗和高價格的時候，阻止他們來訪。」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。 ```

Military Metals Announces Grab Sample Results up to 40.6% Antimony and 106.5 gpt Gold from Stockpile of Historically Mined Material at West Gore Antimony-Gold Project, Nova Scotia
Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - July 22, 2025) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") reports the analyses of five samples of antimony (stibnite) and gold-rich mineralized material taken from a historical mine stockpile at the Company's 100% owned past producing West Gore antimony-gold project ("West Gore" or "the Project") located in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada. These samples were collected as part of efforts to characterize the historical deposit to optimize initial exploration methods. These high-grade results support the documented grades of material historically mined between 1914-1917 when West Gore was one of Canada's most significant antimony producers during World War One, to support the allied war effort. These results complement the announcement on July 8, 2025 that the Company had identified new drill targets extending well beyond the area of previous mining, plans to commence a drill program are currently being finalized.Historical Stockpile Sample Highlights:Highest grade sample returned 40.6 percent (%) Antimony and 106.5 Grams Per Tonne (gpt) in sample 247228 (Antimony samples ranged from 2.12% to 40.6%, gold samples ranged from 11.75 gpt to 106.5 gptAdditional high-grade antimony results included 23.5% and 18.1% in samples 247230 and 247232, respectivelyAdditional high-grade gold results included 27.4 gpt and 25.8 gpt in samples 247232 and 247230, respectivelyAverage antimony results over all five samples of 17.94%Average gold results over all five samples of 34.68 gpt3 high priority drill targets that were never previously identified will be drill tested in an upcoming work programScott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals, stated: "The recent samples collected of up to 40.6% antimony seen in massive stibnite, the mineral that hosts antimony, from our project area have returned some spectacular results, reinforcing our exploration plan to commence drilling. With additional exploration, we can further unlock the potential of our asset and, play a strategic role in the critical minerals supply chain at a time when secure, domestic sources of antimony are in growing demand. Today's results also demonstrate the gold values that could be an important by-product or co-product as we prepare to drill. We are extremely encouraged by the high antimony and gold grades of these five specimens from the past producing mine at our Nova Scotia project. We look forward to advancing this discovery through further exploration and unlocking its full value for our shareholders. Nova Scotia's government, led by Environment Minister Tim Halman, has announced updates to the approval process for metal-mining projects aimed at accelerating timelines. In summary, the new rules are designed to streamline mining approvals and benefit industry progress."Summary of Results:Historical documentation reports that 32,000 metric tons were mined at West Gore in turn producing 7,000 metric tons of concentrate grading 46% antimony yielding 3,220 metric tons of antimony metal, and 6,861 ounces of gold (source: NI 43-101 Technical Report for the West Gore Sb-Au Project, May 25, 2021, prepared by M.S. King, PGeo & M.C. Corey PGeo, May 25, 2021, for Battery Elements Corp). This indicates recovered grades of 10.06% antimony and 0.21 ounces per ton (6.5 gpt) gold, historically. Historical mining was both small-scale and selective, almost certainly enhanced by hand sorting at surface prior to processing. Commercial production ceased in 1917.Table 1 below displays the analytical results for antimony and gold from the five samples. Antimony varies from a low of 2.12 to a high of 40.6%, for an average of 17.94%; gold varies from a low of 11.75 to a high of 106.5 gpt, for an average of 34.68 gpt (uncapped). These grades support the accuracy of historical documentation of mined grades. Of mineralogical interest is the fact that two of the samples, 247230 and 247231, ran 2.01 and 2.81% lead, respectively.Table 1: Sample ResultsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/259593_6c12fb9e645578af_001full.jpgNote: Grab samples are selective by nature and samples visually estimated to be high-grade were intentionally selected for characterization in this exercise. The results presented in this news release should not be considered overall representative of the historically exploited West Gore deposit or the stockpile from which they were chosen. The historical nature of this stockpile is unknown.Image 1: Sample 247228 Demonstrating Massive StibniteTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/259593_6c12fb9e645578af_002full.jpgQuality Assurance and Quality Control:The samples were analyzed at the laboratories of ALS Canada in Vancouver. Samples were crushed, split, ground, split, and a 35 gram portion subjected to a four-acid digestion followed by Induction Coupled Plasma ("ICP") - Mass Spectrometry ("MS") analysis. Over-limit samples for gold and antimony (all five of them) were analyzed by fire assay and ICP- Atomic Emission Spectrometry ("AES") analysis, respectively. Internal Quality Assurance - Quality Control protocols were followed by the lab including blanks, standards, and duplicates to ensure analytical accuracy.Mining History and Geology of the Region:Gold in Nova Scotia was first discovered in 1860, which led to gold rushes throughout many parts of the province over the years following. Gold production in the Rawdon hills began in 1884 and continued until 1932 from several mines. Gold deposits of Nova Scotia's Meguma Terrane typically occur as relatively shallow-dipping, bedding-parallel "saddle reef" type vein systems controlled by regional fold structures. Gold deposits of the Rawdon area, which is found at the east edge of West Gore, are uniquely characterized by the occurrence of steeply east-dipping gold-bearing veins striking north-northwest across bedding. The Government of Nova Scotia's Mineral Occurrence Database reports that historical production from the Rawdon Hills area mines totaled 13,494 ounces. Antimony is a common accessory element in many gold mines around the world, occasionally occurring in higher concentrations.The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by David Murray PGeo, President and Principal Consultant of Resourceful Geoscience Solutions Inc. of Halifax, Nova Scotia, a consultant to the Company, and qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

This initiative paves the way for the future large-scale deployment of robotaxis and ensures their safety.Satellite Direct-to-Device Enhances Vehicle Safety RedundancyWhen it comes to safety, CaoCao's human-driven ride-hailing service is already ahead of the industry. CaoCao's accident rate per order in both 2023 and 2024 was significantly lower than the industry average, according to Frost & Sullivan data. This was due to the company's hardware redundancy and professional drivers.Currently, CaoCao is conducting a pilot program for robotaxis and steadily expanding its fleet. To provide the safest possible travel experience for robotaxis, CaoCao is leveraging aerospace technology to improve safety beyond vehicle hardware redundancy. These lay a solid foundation for the upcoming rapid development phase of autonomous driving.It is learned that robotaxis on the CaoCao platform will gain two key capabilities:Safety Redundancy of Satellite Communication: Robotaxis are equipped with integrated satellite communication capabilities to ensure real-time data transmission and emergency status reporting even in remote operational areas. As a result, uninterrupted and dependable connectivity between robotaxis and the control center establishes a substantial foundation for remote monitoring, dispatching, and emergency intervention.Centimeter-Level Positioning Accuracy: Robotaxis are paired with high-precision sensors. These sensors minimize positioning errors to an extremely low level. They can even achieve precise lane-level positioning and tracking in complex environments like urban canyons and overpasses. Additionally, their strong ability to withstand interference ensures that positioning signals remain stable and reliable during severe weather, including heavy rain.Gong Xin, CEO of CaoCao, stated: “Safety is the core prerequisite and ultimate test for robotaxi commercialization. By selecting and deploying satellite application products and services, we are integrating 'heaven' (satellite technology) and 'earth' (robotaxi intelligence) to build an innovative, multilayered safety redundancy system. This system represents not only a synergy of cutting-edge technologies, but also CaoCao's firm commitment to safeguarding user safety and leading the future of secure mobility."Further Upgraded Robotaxi Ecosystem of CaoCaoBacked by the Geely Group, CaoCao is a key pillar of the group’s future mobility strategy, establishing China’s first closed-loop, fully self-developed ecosystem encompassing "customized vehicles + autonomous driving technology + mobility platform." CaoCao now stands as the only Chinese mobility company whose full-chain capabilities are comparable to Tesla’s "manufacturing + autonomous driving + operations" model.CaoCao’s robotaxi platform seamlessly integrates its operational expertise with the Geely Group’s strengths in automotive manufacturing and autonomous driving technology. With its proven capabilities in service standardization, cost optimization, and asset management—all validated through customized vehicles—CaoCao is well-positioned to drive the large-scale deployment of robotaxi services.The strategic partnership with Geespace exemplifies the efficient synergy within the Geely Group’s smart mobility technology ecosystem. As the Geely Group’s provider of aerospace information and communication infrastructure and solutions, Geespace focuses on constructing and operating a LEO satellite constellation, manufacturing satellites, and developing satellite applications. Geespace also independently builds and operates the "Geely Constellation," which currently consists of 30 in-orbit satellites and over 5,000 high-precision ground-based positioning stations across China. These efforts rank Geespace among the industry leaders in terms of hardware scale and operational support capabilities.As members of the Geely ecosystem, CaoCao and Geespace collaborate to eliminate data coordination barriers caused by differing technical standards in traditional supply chains. This not only highlights the synergistic advantages of CaoCao’s robotaxi ecosystem but also propels China’s autonomous driving industry into a new phase of secure and controllable ecological integration, moving beyond mere technological convergence.
