日本发布首次“超级地震”预警，令民众恐慌和困惑
(SeaPRwire) - 日本是世界上地震最频发的国家之一，上周，在日本南部九州岛东南海岸附近发生强烈地震后，日本发布了有史以来的首次“大地震警报”。这场7.1级地震没有造成人员死亡或严重破坏，但警报导致了广泛的困惑，以及在日本这个习惯了定期地震的国家中，关于下一次大地震何时会来临的挥之不去的担忧。美联社解释了警报的含义、人们被告知要做什么以及如果日本发生大地震会发生什么。日本气象厅在得出结论认为，8月8日袭击南海海槽西缘的7.1级地震增加了发生另一次大地震的可能性后发布了警报。日本气象厅表示，未来30年内，南海海槽发生大地震的可能性为70%-80%，而最新的地震发生后，这一可能性现在“高于正常水平”。但东京大学地震学家、日本气象厅专家小组负责人平田直树表示，这并非预测大地震会在任何特定时间或地点发生。他敦促人们保持谨慎和做好准备。南海海槽是一个海底海沟，从九州岛东南海岸附近水域的日向滩延伸到日本中部的骏河湾。它沿着太平洋海岸延伸约500英里。日本气象厅表示，那里的菲律宾海板块缓慢地向下拉动欧亚板块，并导致欧亚板块偶尔反弹，这一动作可能导致大地震和海啸。1946年，在四国附近发生的最后一次南海海槽地震，初步震级为8.0级，造成1300多人死亡。2013年，政府灾害预防小组表示，9.1级南海海槽地震可能会在几分钟内引发超过33英尺的海啸，造成多达32.3万人死亡，摧毁200多万座建筑，并对日本太平洋沿岸大片地区造成超过1.5万亿美元的经济损失。由于“大地震警报”， 取消了计划于8月9日至12日前往中亚的行程，并宣布将领导政府应对措施，确保预防措施和与公众的沟通。消防和灾害管理局指示被认为有南海海槽地震风险的707个城市审查其应对措施和疏散计划。专家和官员敦促人们保持冷静，继续进行日常社会和经济活动，同时也要确保应急食品和水，并与家人讨论疏散计划。日本气象厅专家在周一发布的一份令人放心的声明中表示，他们迄今为止没有发现任何异常的地震或构造活动表明即将发生大地震。“大地震警报”充满了科学术语，让全国各地的民众感到担忧和困惑。一些城镇关闭了海滩，取消了年度活动，这给日本盂兰盆节假期（全国各地举行节日和烟花表演的时节）的旅行者带来了挑战。许多人推迟了计划中的旅行，并争相抢购大米、干面条、罐头食品、瓶装水、便携式厕所和其他应急用品，导致 许多超市货架空空如也，即使首都不在风险区域。Summit超市连锁店表示，微波炉米饭供应短缺，商店限制每位顾客购买一包。久藤佳子及其丈夫真也表示，他们很难理解警报的确切含义、他们应该担心什么以及他们应该怎么做。“我们尽量不要过度担心。过度担心不好，”久藤佳子说。“我们不知道如何做好准备，又要像专家告诉我们那样正常生活，”60多岁的照护人员久藤真也说。在东京一个主要火车站附近散步的岛村米子说：“这很可怕……他们说未来30年内（有70%-80%的可能性），但这可能就在明天发生。”她最近购买了一台便携式厕所。她说，水对她患有糖尿病的丈夫来说必不可少，因为他在每餐后都需要服药。“我计划借此机会列个清单，确保我们手头上有所有东西，”岛村说。她本周没有改变她的度假计划，但她女儿取消了去富士山的旅行。位于四国岛上的松山市有很多温泉、酒店和度假村，他们审查了他们的疏散程序和应急设备，并启动了一个用于应急的无线电通信系统。道后温泉旅馆协会会长落合秀树表示，自发布警报以来，他们收到了数百份取消订单。为该地区提供服务的铁路公司表示，他们的火车正在以略微降低的速度运行，以作为预防措施。位于高知县的黑潮沿海城镇的危机管理工作组最初在全镇设立了30个避难所。但根据日本气象厅周一发布的声明，目前只有两个避难所仍在开放，因为没有迹象表明即将发生大地震。东大阪市在其官网上敦促居民在发生大地震的情况下，不要进行“不必要的和非紧急的”旅行。和歌山县受欢迎的海滨小镇白滨表示，其四个户外温泉、公园和其他设施将关闭一周。周六的年度烟花节也被取消。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
日本首相岸田将于下个月辞职，为新领导人铺平道路
(SeaPRwire) - 日本首相岸田文雄周三出人意料地宣布，他将不会参加9月的即将举行的党内领导人选举，为新首相的产生铺平了道路。岸田于2021年当选执政的自民党主席，他的三年任期将于9月结束。自民党控制着议会两院，因此赢得党内选举的人将接替他担任首相。新面孔是该党展现其正在走向更好的机会，岸田表示将支持新领导人。“我们需要清楚地展示一个重生的自民党，”岸田周三在新闻发布会上说。“为了展现一个正在变化的自民党，最明显的第一步就是我退位。”“我不会参加即将举行的党内领导人选举，”他说。自民党近年来丑闻缠身，岸田的支持率一直在下降，跌至20%以下。岸田表示，为了实现应对日本国内外困境的政策，恢复公众对政治的信任至关重要。他呼吁有志于竞选党内领导人职位的国会议员举手参选，并在竞选期间进行积极的政策辩论。“一旦选出新的领导人，我希望看到大家团结起来，组建一支梦之队，实现能够获得公众理解的政治，”他说。岸田表示，他一直在考虑辞职，但一直等到他能够将关键政策列入轨道，包括呼吁恢复核电的能源政策、为应对该地区的安全威胁而进行的急剧军事扩建，以及改善与韩国的关系，以及政治改革。关于潜在候选人的猜测已集中在几位自民党资深议员身上，包括党秘书长茂木敏充、数字大臣河野太郎、经济安全大臣高市早苗和外相上川阳子。获胜者将取代岸田担任党主席，并在不久后的议会投票中被推举为新首相。自民党高层预计将在下周决定党内选举的日期。自腐败丑闻爆发以来，岸田已解除了多位内阁大臣和其他党内高层职位，解散了被批评为金钱政治源头的党派系，并收紧了政治资金管理法。1月，10人——国会议员及其助手——被起诉。尽管岸田做出了努力，但支持率仍然下降。今年早些时候的当地选举失利削弱了他的影响力，自民党议员已表示需要在下次大选之前换个新人选。7月东京都议会补选的大败也加剧了这一呼声。这起丑闻的核心是未报告的政治资金，这些资金是通过出售党派活动门票筹集的。涉及自民党超过80名议员，其中大部分属于由被刺杀的前首相安倍晋三领导的主要党派系。暗杀事件暴露了自民党与统一教之间数十年的根深蒂固的联系，这也让岸田面临批评。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
Target 降价并重新推出会员计划
(SeaPRwire) - (NYSE:TGT) 近期宣布对基本商品进行大幅降价，包括 1,500 种常用产品，并计划在今年夏天进一步降低另外 1,000 种产品的价格。此举旨在帮助消费者在持续高价的背景下管理预算。Target 首席执行官 Brian Cornell 強調，这些降价集中在日常必需品，并将帮助消费者在今年夏天节省数百万美元。 这家零售商的调价策略与星巴克 (NASDAQ:SBUX) 和麦当劳 (NYSE:MCD) 等竞争对手的策略类似，这些竞争对手在今年早些时候推出了更低价格的产品。亚马逊 (NASDAQ:AMZN) 在 7 月份举办了有史以来最大的 Prime Day 活动，当时消费者倾向于更注重预算的消费方式。 财务业绩和市场反应喜忧参半 Target 的第一季度财报显示，自 2022 年 11 月以来，该公司首次未能达到预期。该公司 3 月季度的每股收益为 2.03 美元，低于预期的 2.06 美元，但其 245.3 亿美元的收入略高于预期的 245.2 亿美元。食品和饮料销售在 2023 年的总销售额中仅占 23%，Target 更广泛的产品范围，包括美容、家居必需品、服装和家居装饰，既有利也有弊。 尽管 Target 在美容领域占据着强势地位——9% 的少女将 Target 视为首选目的地——但消费者在可支配支出方面表现谨慎。这一趋势反映在 2024 年 6 月的零售销售持平以及失业率上升。Nationwide 的高级经济学家 Ben Ayers 指出，许多消费者，特别是低收入家庭的消费者，正面临着日益增长的经济压力。 为了应对沃尔玛 (NYSE:WMT) 和好市多 (NASDAQ:COST) 等竞争对手的竞争，Target 在 4 月份重新推出了 Target Circle 忠诚度计划，该计划目前拥有超过 1 亿会员。重新设计的计划提供两种层级：免费会员资格和 Target Circle 360，每年 99 美元，包括额外的折扣和免费当日送货。 分析师调整 Target 股票价格预测 在 Target 预计将于 8 月 21 日发布的第二季度财报之前，分析师已调整了其股票价格目标。Evercore ISI 于 8 月 12 日将 Target 加入其战术表现不佳名单，预计该股将在短期内跌至 120 美元至 130 美元的中低点。该机构维持“与市场一致”评级，目标价为 158 美元，理由是可比销售额和客流量趋势趋缓。 富国银行将 Target 的目标价从 175 美元下调至 160 美元，同时维持超配评级。分析师预计第二季度盈利强劲，但对下半年前景表示担忧，原因是宏观经济环境。摩根大通也将其目标价从 165 美元下调至 153 美元，并维持中性评级。分析师强调，在劳动力市场疲软和消费者资产负债表恶化的背景下，消费者压力持续存在，零售促销活动增加。 截至 8 月 12 日，Target 的股价约为每股 135 美元。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
家得宝股票因疲软收益和降息而下跌
Home Depot 股票：盈利不及预期 (SeaPRwire) - Home Depot (NYSE:HD) 报告了另一个季度低迷的盈利，因为消费者在高利率和金融不确定性的背景下，对大型家居装修项目犹豫不决。在本季度，该零售商的收入为 431.8 亿美元，低于预期的 437.9 亿美元。调整后的每股收益为 4.67 美元，超过预期的 4.52 美元。 同店销售下降了 3.3%，比预期下降 2.39% 更差，标志着 Home Depot 连续第七个季度出现销售负增长。美国同店销售下降了 3.6%。客流量和平均客单价分别下降了 1.8% 和 1.3%。 市场反应和未来展望 这些结果紧随 Trex (NYSE:TREX) 的一个令人失望的季度，对该公司的股价产生了负面影响。瑞银分析师迈克尔·拉瑟指出，预计的降息可能导致消费者进一步推迟购买，正如当前数据所显示的那样。Home Depot 首席执行官泰德·德克尔承认，高利率和经济不确定性给消费者需求带来了压力。 然而，预计从 9 月开始的降息可能会帮助市场好转。Telsey Advisory Group 的乔·费尔德曼警告称，任何改善可能不会立即出现。Home Depot 已更新了其 2024 财年的指引，现在预计全年销售额将同比增长 2.5% 至 3.5%，高于此前预计的 1%。可比销售预计将下降 3% 至 4%，比最初预测的下降 1% 更差。 行业见解和战略举措 惠而浦 (NYSE:WHR) 首席执行官马克·比策表示，可能需要多次降息才能重振住房市场。与此同时，雅虎财经报道，在美联储暗示 9 月降息后，抵押贷款利率跌至 2 月初以来的最低水平。竞争对手劳氏 (NYSE:LOW) 拥有更大的 DIY 客户群，将于 8 月 20 日公布收益。 Home Depot 最近以 182.5 亿美元收购了 ，于 6 月 18 日提前完成，被视为一项积极举措。美银分析师罗伯特·奥姆斯强调了 Pro 生态系统可能带来的机遇，预计该生态系统将在 2024 年底前扩展到 17 个市场。预计该收购将在 2024 财年增加近 64 亿美元的增量销售。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
Chipotle 股票在 CEO 转任星巴克后下跌
Chipotle 面临领导层变革 (SeaPRwire) - Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) 正在经历重大的领导层变革，因为它正在为其首席执行官 Brian Niccol 的离职做准备。Niccol 离职的消息导致 Chipotle 在盘前交易中股价下跌了 8%。Niccol 自 2018 年以来一直担任该公司的掌舵人，他将于下个月开始担任 Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) 的新任首席执行官。 尽管 Niccol 的领导能力一直呈积极态势，但首席执行官离职的消息给 Chipotle 的股价表现带来了不确定性。盘前交易中 8% 的跌幅凸显了投资者对这种领导层变革对公司未来业绩的潜在影响的担忧。随着 Chipotle 逐渐过渡到新的领导团队，人们将更加关注该公司如何应对这一变革时期，并继续在其最近的成功基础上再接再厉。 临时领导层和财务展望 在 Niccol 的领导下，Chipotle 的年收入大幅增长，从他上任前一年的约 45 亿美元跃升至 2023 年的令人印象深刻的 99 亿美元。收入几乎翻番，证明了他在任期内实施的战略举措和运营改进。公司的财务业绩也反映在其股票市场的成功。在过去五年中，Chipotle 的股价上涨了 240% 以上，这是一个非凡的成就，远远超过了更广泛市场的表现。相比之下，通常被用作市场表现基准的标准普尔 500 指数在同一时期上涨了约 85%。 随着 Chipotle 过渡到新的领导层，该公司的财务展望依然强劲。将担任临时首席执行官的 Scott Boatwright 拥有良好的条件带领公司度过这一变革时期。Boatwright 自 2018 年以来一直担任首席运营官，他与 Chipotle 有着丰富的经验，对公司的运营和战略目标有着深刻的了解。他的领导有望确保连续性和稳定性，因为公司寻求在其最近的成功基础上再接再厉，并应对未来的挑战。 总之，虽然 Chipotle 的领导层变革标志着该公司的一次重大变化，但强大的财务业绩和现有的战略领导层为其持续成功奠定了坚实的基础。任命 Scott Boatwright 为临时首席执行官，并延长 Jack Hartung 的首席财务官职位，反映了该公司致力于保持其增长和卓越的轨迹。在这些经验丰富的领导者的引导下，Chipotle 有能力应对未来出现的挑战和机遇。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
星巴克任命布莱恩·尼科尔为新任首席执行官，股价飙升
(SeaPRwire) - Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:SBUX) 已任命 Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (NYSE:CMG) 的首席执行官 Brian Niccol 为其新任首席执行官兼董事长，接替 Laxman Narasimhan。Niccol 将于 2024 年 9 月 9 日正式就任新职位。在此期间，现任星巴克首席财务官将领导公司。宣布这一消息后，星巴克股票在纽约交易中飙升了创纪录的 23%，而 Chipotle 的股票则下跌了 13%。 领导层变革和市场反应 这一突然的领导层变革紧随激进投资者 Elliott Investment Management 和 Starboard Value 入股星巴克的报道。由于连续两个季度可比销售额下降，这家咖啡连锁店的股票今年已下跌了 20%。董事会主席 Mellody Hobson 表示，关于领导层的讨论早在几个月前就已经开始，淡化了 Elliott Investment Management 对该决定的影响。 尽管 Elliott 支持 Niccol 的任命，但 Hobson 强调董事会对公司的业绩负全部责任，并决心迅速解决业务弱点。前首席执行官 Howard Schultz 虽然没有正式参与公司，但支持了这一决定，称 Niccol 的任命是“全垒打”。 Brian Niccol 于 2018 年加入 Chipotle，在公司从食品安全争议和激进投资者压力中恢复的过程中发挥了关键作用。Chipotle 的股票今年已上涨超过 20%，展示了 Brian Niccol 领导下的强劲表现。Chipotle 的首席运营官 Scott Boatwright 将担任临时首席执行官，而首席财务官 Jack Hartung 原本计划于 2025 年退休，现在将无限期地留任公司，担任战略、财务和供应链总裁。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti’s First Drilling Program
The first ever copper-gold focused drilling program at the northern portion of the Nyngan Project will shortly commence with earn-in partner AngloGold Ashanti Australia (AngloGold Ashanti).New district-scale potential with up to eight large intrusive complex targets to be drill-tested for the first time in this initial first phase program.Approximately 6 to 8 drill holes for an estimated 4000-5000 metres budgeted before the summer break. Kincora is managing the program and will receive a 10% management fee. The program is the first by Kincora in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, which has the right to spend up to A$50 million to earn an 80% interest in the Nyngan and Nevertire Projects.Fleet Space Technologies Pty Ltd's (Fleet Space) ongoing Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and gravity geophysical surveys at the Nyngan Project are progressing well and are expected to complement upcoming drilling.Melbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - August 14, 2024) - Kincora Copper Limited (TSXV: KCC) (ASX: KCC), (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to outline plans for the next chapter of copper-gold focused drilling in the Macquarie Arc, Central West New South Wales (NSW) with a first program in partnership with and funded by AngloGold Ashanti to shortly commence at the Nyngan Project.Sam Spring, President and CEO of Kincora, commented: "We are very excited by the potential of the Northern Junee-Narromine belt where we are seeking not to just confirm a new significant porphyry Cu-Au deposit but a new district and series of discoveries. The strategic appeal and value of a new porphyry district has been clearly illustrated in the Vicuña district with corporate activities by BHP and Lundin Mining this month supporting over C$8 billion of value being recognised for a cluster of four new major discoveries. Recent planning and targeting activities with our partner AngloGold Ashanti has significantly expanded the number of targets, the drilling activities needed and planned to test a series of major and previously undrilled interpreted magmatic complex targets at the Nyngan Project. Initially we are aiming to test up to eight new major intrusive system complex targets before year end in this first phase program which focuses on the very compelling northern Nyngan "Ace of Spades" region.Recent neighbouring explorer drilling is also supporting the potential of a series of Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes to the immediate east of the "Ace of Spades" target area along a potentially important common transverse structure providing further encouragement to the potential of a new porphyry district scale opportunity."BackgroundThe undercover extensions of the renowned Macquarie Arc porphyry copper-gold geology are globally significant exploration opportunities offering new district(s) scale discovery potential. The region has attracted four earn-in and joint venture agreements in the last 12 months supporting potentially over $200 million in exploration and development expenditure.The most recent notable example of a new emerging globally significant porphyry district is the Vicuña district in the central Andes in Argentina on the border of Chile, which is largely consolidated by Lundin group entities and BHP and situated at over 4000m altitude 1.Within this district NGEX Resources Inc in 2009 held three early-stage exploration projects and, at the time, had a market capitalisation of approximately C$40 million. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded four large-scale discoveries currently valued at over C$8 billion 2.In comparison, the central west of NSW benefits from multiple world-class mines, existing infrastructure, high-quality publicly available exploration data and an existing mineral endowment of over 160 million gold equivalent ounces 3. Regional geophysics strongly indicates that Kincora's Nyngan license hosts the largest volcano-intrusive complex of the Macquarie Arc, which is almost untested, offering new district scale potential.Kincora, as the early entrant, has secured a district scale position in the interpreted shallow-to-moderate covered core sections of the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) by pegging Nyngan and Nevertire which are now in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti 4.The imminent first-ever drilling program at the northern portion of the Nyngan Project will focus on the "Ace of Spades" region and test a wide range of untested, large intrusive-related Cu-Au targets. The program seeks to confirm the potential for a series of new Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes and provide vectors for follow up drilling - see Figure 1.Subject to permitting, access and weather conditions, the drilling program is anticipated to commence from mid September and will continue until the summer break, comprising up to eight holes for an estimated 4000-5000 metres.Recent planning and targeting activities with our partner AngloGold Ashanti have significantly expanded the number of targets, the drilling necessary to test a series of major and previously-undrilled interpreted magmatic complex targets at the Nyngan Project. This first program will test the potential for up to eight separate large intrusive complex targets.The program will comprise cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the post mineral cover sequence with diamond core drilling upon refusal and testing of the targeted basement.Kincora is managing the exploration program and will receive a 10% management fee as the program is funded by AngloGold Ashanti via the up to $50 million earn-in and joint venture agreement for the Nyngan and Nevertire Projects.These drill targets include an existing high priority large intrusive complex target, which is currently the focus of Fleet Space's ongoing Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and gravity geophysical surveys within the northern portion of the Nyngan Project 5.

Kincora is managing the exploration program and will receive a 10% management feeTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/219846_kincora.jpgThe geophysical surveys are seeking to map and refine the interpretation of the paleo-surface and basement rocks and refine modeling of the targeted alteration, intrusions and structures.Recent neighbouring exploration drilling by Inflection Resources ("Inflection") is further supporting the potential of a series of Macquarie Arc intrusives to the immediate east of the "Ace of Spades" target area at Nyngan. Inflection has announced encouraging results at the Canonba target situated on the license boundary to the Nyngan Project, and located approximately 5km from its Duck Creek target, which is a Phase 2 designated project with its earn-in and joint venture partner AngloGold Ashanti 6. The Canonba, Duck Creek and Ace of Spades target areas potentially host important common transverse structures providing further encouragement about the potential of a new district-scale porphyry opportunity.About the Nyngan ProjectThe Nyngan license (Exploration Licence 8929) was the first ground Kincora secured in NSW. It is a large 762km2 direct application tenement granted by the NSW State Government covering a significant portion of the interpreted under cover section of the northern Junee-Narromine Belt 7. The Junee-Narromine Belt is one of the two largest belts of the Macquarie Arc, Australia's foremost porphyry belt, which hosts a mineral endowment of over 160 million gold equivalent ounces.The license hosts limited, but encouraging, prior explorer drilling that has been inadequately followed up, with regional geophysics supporting a new potential district-scale setting hosting interpreted, large-scale, intrusive complex targets.In May 2024, Kincora signed a definitive multiple-phase Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement (Agreement) over the Nyngan and Nevertire licences with a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc (NYSE: AU) (JSE: ANG), the world's fourth largest gold miner by production, which has a successful track record for Greenfields discovery success.AngloGold Ashanti has the right to spend up to A$50 million to earn an 80% interest through:A$25 million of exploration expenditure to earn a 70% joint venture interest (Phase I) including a minimum A$2 million expenditure obligation, with Kincora the initial operator for a 10% management fee. Completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) or funding of a further $25 million of expenditure to earn a 80% joint venture interest (Phase II).In July 2024, separate to the Agreement with AngloGold Ashanti, Kincora formed a partnership with Fleet Space Technologies Pty Ltd (Fleet Space) to undertake Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and gravity geophysical surveys under a research and development grant at the Nyngan Project.Within the immediate district Fleet Space recently completed the world's largest ANT survey, undertaking a number of project-specific surveys that defined multiple new targets and built a proprietary AI-powered district-scale copper prospectivity map 8,9,10.The Fleet Space surveys are anticipated to complement Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti's planned exploration and upcoming drilling.About KincoraKincora Copper is dual listed on the ASX and TSX-V (ticker "KCC") and is an active explorer and project generator focused on world-class copper-gold discoveries. The company recently executed four agreements that unlock up to A$60 million in multiple year partner funding. Further new projects that offer a clear value path and targeted partnerships are proposed.Kincora's portfolio includes district scale landholdings and scalable drill-ready targets in both Australia and Mongolia's leading porphyry belts, the Macquarie Arc and Southern Gobi, respectively, and, the Company is targeting initial exposure to 10,000m of drilling in the next 6-month before ramping up to over 30,000 metres pa of drilling.For more information please visit Kincora's website at www.kincoracopper.comReferences:1 Lundin Mining and BHP to Acquire Filo and Form a 50/50 Joint Venture to Progress the Filo del Sol and Josemaria Projects - BHP and Lundin Mining press releases July 29, 20242 NGEX Minerals Corporate Presentation (July 2024) and market values as at July 29, 2024 (from peer transactions and TSXV market capitalization)3 Sourced from MinEx Consulting for Kincora4 AngloGold Ashanti to earn-in to the NJNB Project - Kincora press release May 28, 20245 ANT and Gravity Geophysical Surveys at the Nyngan Project - Kincora press release July 25th, 2024 6 Inflection Resources provides drilling update from Phase 1 Exploration Program in NSW - Inflection press release July 30th, 2024 7 Kincora secures strategic license in Australia's leading porphyry belt - Kincora press release November 21, 20198 ANT geophysics defines additional epithermal-porphyry targets at Spur Project - Waratah press release May 23, 20249 Reimaging porphyry copper exploration using Exosphere: Ambient Noise Tomography from the Duck Creek project, Macquarie Fleet and Inflection Case Study 2023 10 Completes 1,800Km2 Ambient Noise Tomography Survey Across Portfolio of Projects in New South Wales - Inflection press release July 10, 2024This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Kincora Copper Limited (ARBN 645 457 763)For further information please contact:Sam Spring, President and Chief Executive Officersam.spring@kincoracopper.com or +61431 329 345Executive office 400 - 837 West Hastings Street Vancouver, BC V6C 3N6, Canada Tel: 1.604.283.1722 Fax: 1.888.241.5996Subsidiary office AustraliaVista AustraliaLevel 4, 100 Albert RoadSouth Melbourne, Victoria 3205Qualified PersonThe scientific and technical information in this announcement was prepared in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and was reviewed, verified and compiled by Kincora's staff under the supervision of Peter Leaman (M.Sc.

Dr.Friend Puppy, Exhibits at Global Pet Show, Targeting Overseas Markets
Seoul, Korea – August 14, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) -The premium sleep and healthcare brand Dr.Friend’s pet sleep care product, Dr.Friend Puppy (owned by World Home Doctor Corp.), will be actively targeting overseas markets from the second half of the year. Dr.Friend Puppy will participate in the SUPER ZOO in Las Vegas, USA from August 14-16 to actively promote Dr.Friend’s unique sleep & healthcare technology. SUPER ZOO is one of the most established and prestigious pet industry trade shows in North America. It has been held since 1950, and it is considered the largest pet industry show in North America. It continues to be one of the most productive and vibrant shows yearly. Following CES2024 in January and IHS2024 in March, Dr.Friend Puppy will participate in Super Zoo to introduce its unique pet sleep care technology and pet humanization philosophy to pet industry stakeholders around the world. In particular, Dr.Friend Puppy is a pet-specific sleep care product that incorporates Dr.Friend’s sleep care technology, such as grounding technology and natural material technology. This has the advantage of harmonizing the natural characteristics of pets that are healthiest when they are in nature with the characteristics of their living environment. Dr.Friend’s core natural functional material technologies, such as charcoal wool with antibacterial properties and natural wool, are optimally proportioned to enhance pet sleep care without using chemicals such as memory foam, so pets can feel comfortable and stable sleeping environments every day. In addition, a water-repellent technology that coats a thin film on top of the fabric tissue is also applied to prevent contaminants that may occur due to the nature of the pet’s living environment from penetrating the surface of the fabric, making it more hygienic and convenient to use. By compensating for the disadvantage of sharing the same living environment as the owner, such as an apartment, pet grounding allows pets to get enough natural interaction in the comfort of their home. Dr.Friend will highlight various uniqueness and differentiation of Dr.Friend Puppy, such as realizing the value of pet humanization to ultimately maintain health, prevent various diseases, and reduce medical costs. “Dr.Friend’s grounding and natural material technology continues to gain scientific credibility through anti-inflammatory and stress relief studies that we have been conducting since 2018,” said Kim Ji Youn, CEO of Dr.Friend, who is participating in the exhibition. “In particular, the stress relief effect paper published in Biomedicines, an SCI-level journal, is showing high interest among animal healthcare professionals such as US veterinarians.” She also said, “As we are currently discussing clinical trials with domestic and foreign medical organizations to help improve pets’ health, we will actively promote the advantages of our sleep care technology and healthcare principles to expand cooperation opportunities with various buyers and partners.” After the Super Zoo exhibition, Dr.Friend Puppy will also participate in Pet Fair Asia, August 21-25 in Shanghai, China, expanding its growth strategy to the Asia Pacific region. Pet Fair Asia is Asia’s largest international pet products exhibition, and along with the Super Zoo, it is one of the world’s largest and most influential pet shows. This year’s event will be the largest since its inception in 1997, and Dr.Friend will present its authentic sleep &healthcare value and technology to more than 100,000 buyers and visitors, exploring opportunities to expand sales and establish strategic partnerships.

Valuufy Established to Transform Sustainable Business and Investing
KYOTO, JAPAN, Aug 14, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Valuufy, a pioneering fintech startup drawn from a decades’ work in measuring and creating sustainable value at Doshisha University’s Value Research Center, has launched with its groundbreaking ValuuCompass, a comprehensive framework set to transform sustainable business practices and sustainability investing by providing a fully transparent and actionable framework for assessing and improving sustainability performance.The current state of sustainability reporting:· Confusing and inefficient for companies· Multiple different standards and metric· Emphasis on past activities rather than future strategies· Difficult to capture real impacts on people and the environment· No reliable benchmark for investors to assess sustainability risks and opportunitiesValuuCompass addresses precisely these challenges.The ValuuCompass addresses a critical gap in the market: the lack of a holistic, transparent system for assessing a company's true stakeholder impacts and sustainability risks that arise from these. At the heart of this new product is the Value Model, which has synthesized more than 1,200 individual impact measurements from leading global ESG and sustainability frameworks into a clear goal-based model to measure stakeholder impacts and value creation. With this new assessment system, Valuufy offers businesses and investors a clear, actionable view of value creation that goes far beyond traditional sustainability and ESG metrics. "In an era where 'value washing' - the pretence of sustainable value creation - poses significant financial and reputational risks, both companies and investors need a reliable compass," said Kyle Barnes, CEO of Valuufy. "Valuufy's products and services provide these capabilities, offering a level of transparency and insight that goes beyond all other existing solutions."Dr. Philip Sugai, Director of Research at Valuufy and Director at the Value Research Center, emphasized the revolutionary approach that Valuufy is taking: "The current systems underlying sustainability and ESG are fundamentally broken, focusing on backwards-looking disclosures rather than forward-looking strategies. Valuufy was established to change this paradigm, helping businesses to shift their focus to creating real, and measurable value across their key stakeholders."Valuufy’s ongoing activities aim to bring this important mindset to business strategy creation for businesses of all sizes. "Today, we're not just launching a new tool; we're setting a new standard for sustainable business and investing," added Marco Koeder, Chief Marketing Officer. By 2030, we aim to establish the Value Model as the global benchmark for measuring and creating sustainable value."Benefits of ValuuCompass for Companies:· First universal, objective standard to measure real impact on people and the planet· Provides actionable recommendations for improvement· Enhances performance in the sustainability reporting framework· Transforms complex data into clear, strategic insightsBenefits of ValuuCompass for Investors:· Enables truly informed decisions on sustainability risks and opportunities· Offers rigorous, quantifiable metrics for portfolio assessment· Aligns perfectly with the financial sector's data-driven approach· Provides a competitive edge in sustainable investingDiscover how Valuufy is revolutionizing the future of sustainability at www.valuufy.com.About ValuufyValuufy Inc seeks to transform how the world understands and acts on sustainability.

“LEQEMBI” (Lecanemab) Approved for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease in the United Arab Emirates
TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug 14, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. and Biogen Inc. announced today that the Ministry of Health and Prevention in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has approved humanized anti-soluble aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibody “LEQEMBI®” (lecanemab) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Treatment with LEQEMBI should be initiated in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia stage of disease (collectively referred to as early AD), the population in which treatment was initiated in clinical trials.LEQEMBI selectively binds to soluble Aβ aggregates (protofibrils*), as well as insoluble Aβ aggregates (fibrils) which are a major component of Aβ plaques, thereby reducing both Aβ protofibrils and Aβ plaques in the brain. LEQEMBI is the first approved treatment shown to reduce the rate of disease progression and to slow cognitive and functional decline through this mechanism. LEQEMBI is also approved in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Israel, and is being marketed in the U.S., Japan, and China.LEQEMBI’s approval is based on the large global Phase 3 Clarity AD study. In the Clarity AD study, LEQEMBI met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results.(1),(2) In the UAE, it is reported that 4.09% of those over 60 years old have dementia.(3) AD is considered the most common cause of dementia, typically accounting for 60-70% of cases.(4)Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with both Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority. Biogen will commercialize LEQEMBI in the UAE.* Protofibrils are believed to contribute to the brain injury that occurs with AD and are considered to be the most toxic form of Aβ, having a primary role in the cognitive decline associated with this progressive, debilitating condition.(5) Protofibrils cause injury to neurons in the brain, which in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function via multiple mechanisms, not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells. It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may prevent the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.(6) About lecanemab (LEQEMBI®)Lecanemab is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. It is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma 1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ).LEQEMBI’s FDA approval was based on Phase 3 data from Eisai’s, global Clarity AD clinical trial, in which it met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results.1,2 The primary endpoint was the global cognitive and functional scale, Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB). In the Clarity AD clinical trial, treatment with LEQEMBI reduced clinical decline on CDR-SB by 27% at 18 months compared to placebo. The mean CDR-SB score at baseline was approximately 3.2 in both groups. The adjusted least-squares mean change from baseline at 18 months was 1.21 with LEQEMBI and 1.66 with placebo (difference, −0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.67 to −0.23; P<0.001). In addition, the secondary endpoint from the AD Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living Scale for Mild Cognitive Impairment (ADCS-MCI-ADL), which measures information provided by people caring for patients with AD, noted a statistically significant benefit of 37% compared to placebo. The adjusted mean change from baseline at 18 months in the ADCS-MCI-ADL score was −3.5 in the LEQEMBI group and −5.5 in the placebo group (difference, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2 to 2.8; P<0.001). The ADCS MCI-ADL assesses the ability of patients to function independently, including being able to dress, feed themselves and participate in community activities. The most common adverse events (>10%) in the LEQEMBI group were infusion reactions, ARIA-H (combined cerebral microhemorrhages, cerebral macrohemorrhages, and superficial siderosis), ARIA-E (edema/effusion), headache, and fall.LEQEMBI is approved in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong and Israel for the treatment of MCI due to AD and mild AD dementia. Eisai has also submitted applications for approval of LEQEMBI in 11 countries and regions. A supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for intravenous maintenance dosing was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2024, which was accepted in June 2024. The rolling submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for maintenance dosing of a subcutaneous injection formulation, which is being developed to enhance convenience for patients, was initiated in the U.S. under Fast Track status in May 2024.Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer's Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti-amyloid therapy.About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for ADEisai and Biogen have been collaborating on the joint development and commercialization of AD treatments since 2014. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.About the Collaboration between Eisai and BioArctic for ADSince 2005, Eisai and BioArctic have had a long-term collaboration regarding the development and commercialization of AD treatments. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture and market lecanemab for the treatment of AD pursuant to an agreement with BioArctic in December 2007. The development and commercialization agreement on the antibody lecanemab back-up was signed in May 2015.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."
