Building the data infrastructure for next-generation materials science

TSUKUBA, Japan, Jan 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Materials research generates vast amounts of data, but the information often exists in manufacturer-specific formats and the terminology is inconsistent, making it difficult to aggregate, compare, and reuse. Traditionally, researchers have had to spend considerable time on tedious tasks, such as format conversion, metadata assignment, and characteristics extraction. These extra steps can make researchers reluctant to share data, hindering the advancement of data-driven work. The problem is made even more acute by the field’s increasing reliance on AI-driven materials discovery, which requires high-quality datasets.A highly flexible data system automatically interprets a variety of experimental data, and stores it in a format with enhanced readability for materials informatics.To address this problem, researchers at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) have developed Research Data Express (RDE), a highly flexible data management system for materials scientists. Published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, RDE automatically interprets experimental data from raw files and manually inputted measurements. It then restructures and stores this information in a format with enhanced readability.“RDE significantly reduces the burden of routine data processing for researchers and enhances data findability, interoperability, reusability (the FAIR principles), and traceability,” explains Jun Fujima, corresponding author and researcher at NIMS’s Materials Data Platform. “We hope this will promote collaborative, data-driven materials research.”          Many systems of a similar purpose usually “define” the data format. In contrast, the RDE’s core innovation “Dataset Template” defines and directs how data from different types of experiments should be processed. For example, if a researcher uploads spreadsheets of X-ray measurements from different sources, the Dataset Template can be configured to interpret them. The system then automatically performs advanced analyses and creates visualizations to provide an immediate overview. Multiple templates can be prepared for different materials research themes, allowing for maximum flexibility in data management. A custom template can also be easily prepared by individual researchers if necessary. Many templates have already been prepared and shared among users.“RDE’s unique approach allows researchers to freely define data structures tailored to their instruments, while enabling the system to perform massive data structuring and metadata extraction automatically,” says Fujima.Since its launch in January 2023, RDE has been widely adopted across Japan’s materials research community, demonstrating its scalability. To date, it has over 5,000 users, with more than 1,900 Dataset Templates for various experimental methods implemented, over 16,000 datasets created, and more than three million data files accumulated. The system serves as a data infrastructure for major national initiatives, including the Materials Research DX Platform initiative promoted by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The NIMS team has released an open-source software toolkit (RDEToolKit) to encourage use of the system within the research community.Further informationJun FujimaNational Institute for Materials Science FUJIMA.Jun@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2025.2597702 About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-M Dr Kazuya SaitoSTAM Methods Publishing Director SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

First three HKTDC trade fairs of 2026 draw some 82,000 international buyers

HONG KONG, January 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 52nd HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, 17th HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and 24th Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair concluded successfully today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The Toys & Games Fair and Baby Products Fair were organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), while the Stationery & School Supplies Fair was jointly organised by the HKTDC and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. The four-day physical fairs attracted some 82,000 buyers from 121 countries and regions, fostering cross-regional trade and cross-section cooperation. Opening to both trade buyers and the public, the newly launched “Pop & Play” pavilion was a big draw at the Toys & Games Fair and attracted some 10,000 public visits. The pavilion helped local toy brands connect with global buyers to expand into international markets, further unleashing the commercial potential of their IPs, while also enabling Chinese Mainland and overseas brands and IPs to engage directly with local fans of trendy toys and collectibles.Over 41,000 buyers visited the Toys & Games Fair, while some 27,000 and some 14,000 buyers attended the Baby Products Fair and Stationery & School Supplies Fair respectively. Buyers from outside Hong Kong primarily came from the Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand from the ASEAN bloc, Korea, India and the US. Buyers from nearby Macao, ASEAN’s Vietnam, Belgium and Poland from Europe and South Africa also recorded double-digit growth. The fairs adopted the HKTDC’s hybrid EXHIBITION+ model, which includes the physical shows along with online access through the Click2Match smart business matching platform, which will continue connecting exhibitors and buyers until 22 January.Jenny Koo, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said: “This year's trio of fairs brought together more than 2,600 exhibitors from 37 countries and regions, attracting 82,000 global buyers to attend and kickstarting the HKTDC's busy calendar of events in 2026. The new ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion at the Toys & Games Fair proved to be highly popular, showcasing 150 trendy IPs alongside various fair premieres and global limited-edition collectibles. Representatives from diverse industries and sectors were keen to explore the commercial potential of different IPs and discuss cross-industry collaboration opportunities. The pavilion was also open to members of the public, with large numbers of visitors checking in, snapping photos and engaging directly with exhibitors. We believe the fair can amplify IP value through cultural integration, brand collaborations and market strategies, helping local brands to take their businesses beyond Hong Kong and onto the international stage."“Pop & Play” pavilion drove cross-industry IP collaborations, opened to public to promote interaction between industry and fansThe three fairs continued with the theme “New Play for All”, with the enduring popularity of trendy and collectible toys injecting strong growth momentum into the toy industry. The new “Pop & Play” pavilion brought together popular international and local IPs. Hong Kong exhibitor Matrix Promotion showcased 11 original local IPs and presented a series of fair-exclusive debut products. Founder and CEO Ray Leung said: “Combining B2C elements with B2B provides an energetic atmosphere that makes it easier to facilitate collaborations and build relationships with potential partners. Through the online and offline business matchings, we established around 50 local business contacts. These included not only toy industry buyers, but also cross-industry cooperation opportunities, such as with theme parks, loyalty programmes, digital commerce platforms, finance and insurance companies. These mainly involve designing exclusive premium items for clients based on their own IPs, which is currently a major trend in the market.”Onsite sales of IP products were also brisk. IP character B.Duck has long been popular in both Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. Hong Kong Sales Representative for the company, Lai Chi-ying, shared: “The new ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion successfully integrates B2B and B2C elements, reaffirming that trendy collectibles remain a key industry trend locally and globally. During the fair, we connected with 30 potential clients — mainly toy distributors — from countries including Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Dubai, Russia, and North America. Our blind boxes also were a big hit with visitors, selling over 100 units in a short time. We expect participation in the event to contribute around 10% of our annual business growth.”Meanwhile, trendy toy enthusiast Mr. Hung visited the pavilion, saying: “The ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion offers an attractive and rich selection. We could appreciate many popular local and international trendy toy IPs, as well as the latest hot anime and IP-licensed products. It’s the perfect spot for exploring trendy collectibles and pop culture merchandise. The variety of trendy toys available for sale onsite is remarkably diverse. I spent around HK$2,000 and picked up multiple items including IP T-shirts, keychains, figurines, and Marvel toys – it was a truly fruitful visit!"Hong Kong toy exhibitor draws buyers’ attention with self-developed AI toysEastcolight (Hong Kong) Limited, a long-time participant at the Toys & Games Fair, showcased its self-developed artificial intelligence (AI) interactive story machine this year. Co-founder Salley Sze said: “With AI becoming a core market trend, our latest toy products now incorporate AI-assisted learning features. These AI products alone are expected to generate at least US$1 million in annual sales through the fair, while our other STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) product lines are projected to achieve US$2 million sales.”Happy Ageing label saw rising demand as sustainable toys remained popularWith ageing populations becoming a global reality, toys and games designed specifically for seniors or intergenerational family fun are now a rapidly growing market. The new Happy Ageing label was introduced at this year’s Toys & Games Fair to help identify products in this category. Peri Chow, Director of FritzS Learning (Hong Kong), said: “The new label has greatly helped our market expansion. During the fair, we connected with approximately 30 new clients from different industries and regions, including the Chinese Mainland, Germany, the Philippines, South Africa and Spain, such as nursing home caregivers and buyers for children’s toys.”Sustainable consumption continued to be a key focus across the fairs. In addition to the Green Toys zone at the Toys & Games Fair, both the toys and stationery fairs continued to employ the Green Solutions green leaf label, further facilitating the procurement of eco-friendly products. This year, over 400 exhibitors displayed the green leaf logo, double the number compared to 2024. DeAgostini Collectibles from Spain is a global publisher and distributor of collectibles. Sourcing Manager CMC, Sandra Lopez Herrero said, "We are particularly interested in sustainable design, especially the battery-free, hydraulic-powered eco-friendly toys exhibited by a Chinese Mainland supplier. We plan to place an order worth around US$1 million. The green leaf label, along with the Click2Match and Scan2Match platforms, have helped us track products and stay updated on emerging trends, such as the use of eco-friendly materials and the integration of artificial intelligence in toys."At the Baby Products Fair, the World of Strollers and Gear and ODM Strollers and Gear zones together hosted approximately 230 exhibitors, with an increase in both exhibitor numbers and fair areas compared to last year. The Selection of Europe pavilion returned in 2026 together with the Korean and Hong Kong Children, Babies, Maternity Industries Association pavilions. Among the European exhibitors, Swedish exhibitor AXKID expressed recognition of Hong Kong’s role as an international trade and innovation hub. Managing Director Roger Yan said: “As a leading city in innovation, Hong Kong helps us expand our market and reach more international customers. During the fair, we met buyers from Bulgaria, Slovenia, Japan, and Türkiye. One Bulgarian client has already placed an order for 2,000 child safety seats, valued at approximately €1.7 million. We will definitely exhibit again next year.”Jointly organised by the HKTDC and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, this year’s Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair welcomed Blaxall Optics Low Vision Limited from New Zealand for the first time. Company Director Gang Cheng said: "We showcased a range of optical magnifiers and related products and connected with 10 new buyers from Hong Kong, Macao, Poland, Thailand and more at the physical fair and through the Click2Match smart-matching platform. We anticipate these contacts will bring at least a 5% annual growth to our business, equivalent to US$100,000 in orders."Asian Toy & Games Forum explored key issues for toy manufacturersThe flagship Asian Toys & Games Forum was held during the Toys & Games Fair. Themed “Empowering the Toy Industry for Global Success”, the forum invited industry experts and guest speakers to discuss the latest industry updates and developments. Loo Wee Teck, Global Insights Manager, Toys and Games, Euromonitor International, shared insights on the toys and games market outlook and opportunities, while Alex Lin, Vice President and General Manager, Disney Consumer Products, Greater China and Korea, The Walt Disney Company, covered the global IP ecosystem and merchandising strategies.For more comments from exhibitors and buyers, please visit the following websites:-  Toys and Games Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hktoyfair/en/success-stories- Baby Products Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkbabyfair/en/success-stories- Stationery & School Supplies Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkstationeryfair/en/success-storiesPhoto download: https://bit.ly/49IAOHhThe 52nd HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, the 17th HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and the 24th Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair, concluded successfully today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

GBA enterprises speed up ASEAN expansion, amid trade tensions, with 73 percent fast-tracking plans

HONG KONG, January 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Enterprises across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) are accelerating their expansion into ASEAN amid escalating global uncertainties and intensifying tariff pressures. A new joint study, “Hong Kong Empowers GBA Enterprises for ASEAN Growth Amid Global Trade Challenges”, released today by UOB Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), reveals GBA companies are now scaling their ASEAN strategies with greater urgency to boost growth and strengthen supply chain resilience.ASEAN growth set to accelerate furtherReflecting this renewed urgency, the study finds that 73 percent of GBA respondents intend to accelerate their business development in ASEAN, reinforcing the region’s importance as a long-standing and increasingly urgent growth engine amid global trade frictions.ASEAN economies continue to gain prominence, with Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia emerging as the top destinations for GBA enterprises over the next three years. To support expansion plans, companies expect to allocate an average of 30 percent additional resources to their ASEAN expansion plans. Vietnam is the top priority (47 percent increase in resources), followed by Indonesia (37 percent) and Thailand/Malaysia (32 percent each).From a strategic perspective, the primary focus is on driving sales growth – especially in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia – while expanding production and sourcing bases, with Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia the top choices.Even in Singapore, where GBA enterprises already have the largest footprint, respondents intend to commit an average of 23 percent in extra resources to accelerate their business development in the country, especially in areas, such as financing and establishing regional offices.The study also reports a 25 percentage point year-on-year increase in the number of GBA businesses seeking to expand or maintain sales operations within the ASEAN bloc, with 98 percent of surveyed enterprises continuing to target these dynamic sales markets. This acceleration underscores the region’s heightened urgency to navigate intensifying geopolitical and tariff pressures.Notably, 91 percent of respondents intend to expand or maintain their ASEAN-based production and sourcing hubs — a seven percentage point increase compared to 2024, highlighting stronger intent to diversify supply chains and mitigate external risks.Heightened challenges in ASEAN expansionWhile the momentum is clear, the study also highlights significant hurdles GBA enterprises face, as they expand into ASEAN. The most cited challenge is finding suitable local partners (47 percent), a figure that has risen by 24 percentage points since 2024 and has climbed steadily over the past three years. Cultural and language barriers (46 percent) and difficulties in sourcing specialist talent (40 percent) are also on the rise, up 23 and 15 percentage points, respectively. These challenges underscore the need for trusted advisors and deeper cross-border support.Growing commitment to ESGThe study reveals continued progress among GBA companies in pursuing sustainability goals. Of the participating enterprises, 83 percent currently have green initiatives underway, slightly up from 81 percent in 2024 and marking a three-year high.Furthermore, 96 percent of respondents plan to increase or maintain their ESG funding over the next two years, with 66 percent intending to boost their ESG investment – a 26 percentage point jump from 40 percent in 2024, recording a three-year high. For the next two years, the average intended level of ESG funding on the part of GBA enterprises is now HK$874,771, nearly double the HK$462,535 recorded in 2024.Adaline Zheng, CEO of UOB Hong Kong, said, “For GBA enterprises, ASEAN is not just the next stop – it is the growth frontier. Hong Kong amplifies that momentum, and UOB has the expertise to connect it. With our extensive ASEAN network, deep local insights and sustainability leadership, we help businesses in Hong Kong scale faster, strengthen their resilience and capture opportunities with commitment. We help businesses win the next chapter of regional growth.”Hong Kong as the gateway for ASEAN expansion and ESG leadershipThe survey reaffirms Hong Kong’s role as a critical platform for GBA enterprises seeking to accelerate ASEAN expansion and strengthen ESG programmes. Hong Kong’s role as a superconnector is widely recognised and highly appreciated, earning a score of 7.9 out of 10 for connectivity with both GBA cities and the ASEAN bloc.Wing Chu, Deputy Director of HKTDC Research, said, “With the shifting global supply chain landscape and tariff uncertainties, many GBA enterprises are accelerating their ASEAN engagement not merely as a means of risk diversification, but to capture new growth opportunities in fast-evolving markets.

GA-ASI and USN Test Expanded Sonobuoy Dispensing System For MQ-9B SeaGuardian(R)

SAN DIEGO, Jan 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and the U.S. Navy continue to expand the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability of the MQ-9B SeaGuardian® Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). Flight test was performed on December 17 and featured Sonobuoy Dispensing System (SDS) pods, more than previously tested, doubling the number of sonobuoys available."Expanding sonobuoy capacity, including Multi-static Active Coherent (MAC) technology for SeaGuardian, has been an integral part of our advanced ASW strategy to broaden and enhance search areas," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "The wider maritime coverage our MQ-9B's ASW capability provides is extremely valuable to our customers."Sonobuoys are naval sensors that drop from an aircraft into the ocean and help detect submarines. The SeaGuardian deployed AN/SSQ-36 Bathythermal, AN/SSQ-53G Directional Frequency Analysis and Recording (DIFAR) (passive), and AN/SSQ-62F Directional Command Activated Sonobuoy System (DICASS) (active) buoys. This was the first time Multi-static Active Coherent (MAC) buoys have been dispensed from an uncrewed aircraft. The MAC buoys are better at detecting submarines over large areas and require fewer buoys compared to using DIFAR and DICASS.Sponsored by the U.S. Navy, the flight tests were specifically aimed at certifying the SDS. This flight testing supports the Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet's Operational Evaluation deployment to SEVENTH Fleet and enjoyed additional support and governmental supervision from the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) AIRWorks.Upon completion of the testing and data review, the U.S. Navy is expected to give GA-ASI deployment flight clearance for ASW operations using MQ-9B SeaGuardian in January 2026.SeaGuardian has also been used by the U.S. Navy in various recent exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

DPC Dash – Domino’s Pizza China Defies Headwinds in 2025 as Strong Q4 Performance Cements Market Leadership

HONG KONG, Jan 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China's restaurant industry grew 3.3% to RMB 5.22 trillion in revenue through November 2025, government data showed, even as competition intensified beyond product and service into battles over supply chains, digitalization and capital strength.Chain expansion has emerged as the key differentiator, with China's restaurant chain penetration rate rising steadily in recent years and expected to reach 25% in 2025, according to Meituan platform data. Industry reports show that the pizza category stands out, as China’s pizza market reached RMB 48 billion in 2024 and surpassed RMB 50 billion in 2025. Against this backdrop, DPC Dash-Domino's Pizza China (1405.HK) disclosed its Q4 2025 business results this month, reinforcing its position as the market leader.Store Expansion Achieves Quality and Scale GrowthDPC Dash is the exclusive master franchisee for Domino's Pizza in the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR. The company's 2025 store deployment closely aligned with industry trends, achieving breakthroughs in scale and efficiency. As of December 31, 2025, total store count exceeded 1,315 locations, representing 307 net new stores year-over-year, with entry into 21 new cities and expanding coverage to 60 cities. On January 1, 2026, the company accelerated expansion further, with 62 new stores opening across 46 cities.This efficient expansion benefits from mature store expansion models and precise market judgment. In 2025, when overall industry store counts fluctuated due to competition, DPC Dash’s efficient, high-quality expansion results proved particularly impressive. New store performance further validates brand strength—the first store in Dalian generated sales close to RMB 700,000 on its grand opening day during the 2026 New Year holiday, setting a new record in Domino’s global system. As of Q3 2025, DPC Dash holds 49 of the top 50 spots in first-30-day sales rankings among Domino's global network. By store count, the Chinese Mainland market has become Domino's third-largest international market, with regional penetration capabilities continuing to lead.Operating Resilience Emerges, User Ecosystem Solidifies Growth FoundationDue to structural market factors, category shifts and changing consumer trends, the restaurant industry's average order size remained under pressure in 2025, with consumers increasingly favoring affordable, quality dining options. Amid these trend shifts, DPC Dash achieved steady growth against such headwinds, demonstrating strong operational resilience.In Q4 2025, the company's tier-one city same-store sales growth (SSSG) maintained positive momentum. Excluding impacts from new market stores opened after December 2022, group-level SSSG also remained positive for both H2 2025 and full-year 2025. Even despite high prior-period comparisons and competitive market pressures, core market risk resilience remained outstanding. Continued user community expansion supported performance growth. As of December 31, 2025, total membership reached 35.6 million, up 45.3% from 24.5 million at year-end 2024. New users completing first orders through proprietary and third-party channels in the past 12 months continued growing, exceeding 15.4 million.Strong operating metrics and user base earned DPC Dash the "Most Valuable Consumer Company Award" and "Best IR Team Award" from Zhitong Finance's listed company ranking, further solidifying capital market recognition of its operating quality and growth logic.Product & Marketing Dual-Engine Drive, Digitalization Enables Efficiency UpgradesAligning with the pizza category’s "localized flavor" trends, DPC Dash employs product innovation and scenario marketing as twin engines, continuously strengthening user stickiness. In 2025, pizza sector innovation focused on flavor fusion. Building on this foundation, DPC Dash further expanded global flavor combinations, launching Sicilian-Inspired Beef & Bamboo Shoot Pizza and Madrid-Inspired Beef and Shrimp Pizza in Q4, satisfying diverse consumer taste preferences. The 2025 hit product Volcano Crust pizza series won the "Phenomenal Product Impact Award” as part of the Seven-Star Convention Alliance’s inaugural food and beverage consumer influence rankings for its phenomenal product innovation. While innovating, the company continues leading the industry in food safety, health advocacy and sustainable development, earning the Seven-Star Awards for the fifth year.Simultaneously, the company upgraded two popular pizzas with additional toppings at the same price, highlighting value advantages amid declining industry order sizes. On the marketing front, the company launched Halloween-themed snacks tied to seasonal scenarios, brought back the classic "Mega Week" promotion to lower consumption barriers, and partnered with Sanrio's popular character Kuromi for limited-edition merchandise, precisely targeting diverse consumer groups.Behind these initiatives lies strong digital capability support. DPC Dash leveraged its mature online operating systems and data-driven strategies to win the "Top 20 Digitalized Enterprise" from the China Digital Innovation Expo. Its digital practices highly align with industry trends of online channels becoming important growth drivers, providing broad space for business expansion.Comprehensive ESG Efforts Achieve Commercial and Social Value SynergyAs the industry accelerates "food industry + digital intelligence + dining + leisure" integration, DPC Dash continues deepening ESG initiatives, achieving synergistic growth of commercial and social value. In 2025, DPC Dash received multiple awards including the 2025 ESG Outstanding Listed Company Award at International Green Zero-Carbon Festival, and the 2025 Most Socially Responsible Listed Company Award from National Business Daily. These honors not only recognize sustainable operations but also align with consumer expectations for brand social responsibility, further strengthening brand reputation. In talent management, DPC Dash earned Mercer's "Best Employer" honor for the fourth time and first-time "Star Employer" recognition.Looking Forward: Deepening 4D Strategy, Leading High-Quality DevelopmentIn 2026, China's restaurant industry will transition comprehensively from scale expansion toward quality and efficiency improvement. After breaking through the RMB 50 billion market scale, pizza category competition will focus more intensely on product innovation, digital efficiency and refined operations. The Western fast-food segment will continue to see dual battles over localization and scale.DPC Dash plans to continue deepening its 4D Strategy of Development, Delicious Pizza at Value, Delivery, and Digital, continuously mining consumption potential across market tiers while optimizing store network layout. The company will also iterate on product portfolios, upgrade digitalization and strengthen supply chain resilience to further consolidate core competitiveness. With proven operating systems, strong brand momentum and multi-dimensional industry recognition, DPC Dash is positioned to continue leading China's pizza market in the new year, providing a replicable model for Western fast food and the broader restaurant industry's high-quality development.

Atlas Critical Minerals 开始在纳斯达克上市交易,股票代码为“ATCX”

巴西贝洛奥里藏特, 2026年1月14日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation(纳斯达克:ATCX)(以下简称“Atlas Critical Minerals”或“公司”)是一家从事勘探与开发的公司,致力于推进稀土、核级石墨及铀项目。这些关键矿产对先进技术应用、能源转型以及国防用途至关重要。公司欣然宣布,其普通股已在纳斯达克资本市场开始交易,股票代码为“ATCX”。Atlas Critical Minerals 首席执行官兼董事长 Marc Fogassa 表示:“此次在纳斯达克上市是公司发展的一个变革性里程碑,使我们在全球范围内获得更高的知名度,并拓展了接触机构投资者的渠道。我们在多种关键矿产领域的多元化投资组合,在上市公司中几乎独一无二,体现了我们技术团队和业务发展团队的持续投入。我们对投资者在近期发行中表现出的浓厚兴趣深表感谢,该兴趣使我们得以扩大融资规模,并期待在未来数月内在多个方面取得进展。”Atlas Critical Minerals 控制着超过 218,000 公顷 的矿产权益,拥有上市公司中规模最大的关键矿产投资组合之一。公司的多元化资产基础涵盖稀土、核级石墨、铀,以及一项正在扩展、可持续创造收入的铁矿石业务。公司的矿产项目位于巴西——该国是全球已知稀土储量仅次于中国、排名第二的国家。投资组合主要亮点双重稀土战略:Alto do Paranaíba 稀土项目具有高品位的砾岩型赋矿特征,地表样品中 TREO(稀土氧化物总量)最高达 28,870 ppm;钻探见矿结果包括 12 米、平均 5,961 ppm TREO;磁性稀土氧化物(MREO)占 TREO 的比例达 28%。Iporá 稀土项目拥有离子型黏土矿化矿床,关键永磁稀土元素的 MREO 回收率超过 60%。核级石墨获得验证:Malacacheta 石墨项目在美国独立实验室测试中实现 99.9995% 的碳纯度,符合超高端核级石墨市场标准。据报道,该市场价格可达 每吨 25,000–35,000 美元,较通常商业化价格约 每吨 2,000–2,400 美元 的电池级石墨溢价 10–15 倍。战略性铀资源组合:公司在 39 项矿权中合计控制 143,725 公顷 的矿权面积,其中部分矿区战略性地毗邻或接近因铀潜力较高而受到巴西政府限制的区域。巴西在全球铀储量排名中位居前十,在这一尚未充分勘探的司法辖区内具备显著的勘探上行空间。公司正积极评估相关区域,以应对巴西未来潜在的监管变化。创收型运营:公司 Rio Piracicaba 铁矿项目于 2025 年 11 月下旬启动创收运营,目前铁矿石已 每周六天 运往签约的第三方加工设施,转化为烧结矿原料(sinter feed)。这一轻资本运营模式预计将带来短期现金流,用于支持公司运营成本,包括关键矿产项目组合的勘探活动。稀土:双项目战略公司的稀土资产组合涵盖位于**米纳斯吉拉斯州(Minas Gerais)和戈亚斯州(Goiás)**的 33 项矿权,总面积 53,939 公顷。Alto do Paranaíba 项目位于米纳斯吉拉斯州,由 21 项矿权组成,覆盖 27,737 公顷。该项目以富含稀土的砾岩型地层为特征,并含有钛作为潜在的可商业化副产品。地表地质采样显示,TREO(稀土氧化物总量)最高可达 29,870 ppm。在共计 809 个样品中,608 个样品的 TREO 超过 1,000 ppm,其中 121 个样品超过 3,000 ppm。初步钻探共完成 11 个钻孔、累计 144 米,证实了近地表矿化,其中包括:DHTI-001 为 12 米、5,961 ppm TREO;DHTI-002 为 6 米、7,729 ppm TREO。由 SGS 按照美国《S-K 法规第 1300 条》(“SK 1300 技术报告”)编制的 Alto do Paranaíba 项目技术报告已于 2025 年 8 月 14 日向 **美国证券交易委员会(SEC)**提交备案。Iporá 项目位于戈亚斯州,由 12 项矿权组成,覆盖 18,615 公顷,目标为离子型黏土矿床。钻探见矿结果包括:DHIP-0006 为 8 米、2,071 ppm TREO 和 775 ppm MREO;其中 1 米峰值区间达到 3,822 ppm TREO 和 1,803 ppm MREO。冶金测试实现 MREO 回收率超过 60%、HREO 回收率 55%,以及钇回收率 63%。由 SGS 编制的 Iporá 项目 SK 1300 技术报告已于 2025 年 10 月 3 日向 SEC 提交备案。石墨:核级品质获得验证Malacacheta 石墨项目位于米纳斯吉拉斯州(Minas Gerais),占地 1,258 公顷。由 SGS 编制的初版 SK 1300 技术报告(“石墨技术报告”)已于 2025 年 8 月 14 日向美国证券交易委员会(SEC)提交备案。对来自 Malacacheta 项目的石墨精矿样品进行了全面表征分析。该等样品被送至 American Energy Technologies Company(AETC)——一家专注于石墨研究的美国实验室。通过热法提纯,样品实现了高达 99.9995 wt.% 的碳纯度,在未使用卤素气体的情况下即满足了严格的核级石墨规范要求。此外,样品在提纯后的 BET 比表面积为 0.89 m²/g,使其性能水平与包括中国青岛地区优质鳞片石墨在内的领先矿床相当。根据 AETC 的结论,石墨技术报告已更新纳入上述冶金研究结果,并于 2025 年 11 月 12 日再次向 SEC 提交备案。铀:面向增长的战略布局公司在巴西 巴伊亚州(Bahia)、塞阿拉州(Ceará)、戈亚斯州(Goiás)、皮奥伊州(Piauí)、帕拉州(Pará)和托坎廷斯州(Tocantins)共计 39 项矿权中,控制 143,725 公顷 具备铀矿化潜力的矿权面积。随着支持 人工智能革命和其他先进计算应用的数据中心能源需求不断超过传统能源供给,核能预计将在能源结构中发挥日益重要的作用。与此同时,用于为偏远地区数据中心供电的小型模块化反应堆(SMR)正受到越来越多的关注,这进一步支撑了铀的长期强劲市场需求。目前,美国大部分铀依赖从俄罗斯、哈萨克斯坦和加拿大进口,而核能已占美国约 20% 的电力供应。Atlas Critical Minerals 具备良好条件,有望受益于巴西潜在的立法改革以及西方国家持续推进的铀供应链多元化努力。铁矿石:早期实现收入公司位于巴西著名的铁四角地区(Iron Quadrangle)的 Rio Piracicaba 铁矿项目已于 2025 年 11 月下旬启动创收运营。该项目的 SK 1300 技术报告显示,资源量为 7,852,912 吨,平均品位 32% Fe。冶金测试表明,可通过磁选工艺将该矿石浓缩至 64.8% Fe 的烧结矿原料(sinter feed),属于高端产品区间。在与一家独立第三方运营商建立的战略合作框架下,公司的铁矿石由合作方负责开采,并运送至附近的加工设施转化为烧结矿原料。Atlas Critical Minerals 通过原矿铁矿石销售获得收入,其每吨定价基于 Platts IODEX 62% Fe 价格的一定比例,并设有预先确定的最低保底价格以提供价格保护。关于 Atlas Critical Minerals CorporationAtlas Critical Minerals Corporation(纳斯达克:ATCX)是一家从事勘探与开发的公司,致力于推进稀土、核级石墨及铀项目,这些关键矿产对先进技术应用、能源转型以及国防用途至关重要。此外,公司首个铁矿项目已于 2025 年 11 月开始运营。更多信息请访问 www.atlascriticalminerals.com ,或查阅公司向美国证券交易委员会(SEC)提交的相关文件。前瞻性声明本新闻稿包含《1933 年证券法》(经修订)第 27A 条以及《1934 年证券交易法》(经修订)第 21E 条所界定的前瞻性声明。前瞻性声明基于 Atlas Critical Minerals 及其子公司当前的计划、估计和预测,并受制于内在的风险和不确定性,这些因素可能导致实际结果与前瞻性声明所述内容存在重大差异。因此,您不应过度依赖此类前瞻性声明。与公司及其子公司相关的风险已在公司于 2025 年 2 月 28 日向美国证券交易委员会(SEC)提交的 Form 20-F 文件中题为“风险因素(Risk Factors)”的章节中进行了讨论。请同时参阅公司向 SEC 提交的其他文件,相关文件均可在 www.sec.gov 查阅。此外,任何前瞻性声明仅代表公司截至本新闻稿发布之日的观点,不应被视为代表公司在任何后续日期的观点。公司明确声明,不承担因其预期发生变化,或因相关事件、情况或环境发生变化而更新或修订任何前瞻性声明的任何义务。投资者关系Brian W.
