Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - December 16, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from drill holes H100 and H101, completed as part of the 2025 drill program at its 100%-owned Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia.Drill holes H100 and H101 were designed to test eastern extensions of mineralization beyond the 2024 conceptual pit shell, while also evaluating depth continuity and metal zonation within the Hat porphyry system. Results from both drill holes confirm broad, continuous copper-gold-cobalt-scandium mineralization and, when integrated with drill holes announced earlier in 2025, define an expanded mineralization envelope at the Hat Deposit. Assay results from drill holes H102 to H108 will be released when received from the Lab and reviewed and confirmed by our technical team.Key HighlightsMineralization extended eastward beyond the 2024 conceptual pit outline, supported by long, continuous intercepts in both H100 and H101.H100 intersected 497.0 m of mineralization (129.0-626.0 m) averaging 0.27% CuEq (excluding Sc₂O₃), confirming continuity into previously under-tested areas east of the 2024 conceptual pit.Elevated cobalt values at depth in H100 may be indicative of proximity to deeper portions of the porphyry system based on observed metal associations at Hat.H101 returned 992.4 m of continuous mineralization, with multiple higher-grade intervals and a higher gold-to-copper ratio relative to the established average of the Hat deposit.Deeper part of the Hat porphyry system remain untested by drilling,Drill holes H100 and H101 at the bottom are more than 500m apart.Drill Hole H100497.0 m (129.0-626.0 m) averaging 0.27% CuEq, including:239.8 m at 0.30% CuEq141.0 m at 0.31% CuEq106.2 m at 0.35% CuEq73.0 m at 0.44% CuEqDrill hole H100 confirms that mineralization extends eastward beyond the 2024 conceptual pit boundary and remains continuous over substantial thicknesses. The presence of elevated cobalt values within deeper intervals is interpreted by the Company as a potential vector toward deeper parts of the porphyry system. While the significance of this association continues to be evaluated, cobalt enrichment has consistently occurred alongside stronger copper-gold mineralization in several areas of the Hat deposit.Drill Hole H101992.4 m (7.5-999.9 m) averaging 0.29% CuEq, including:618.0 m at 0.37% CuEq153.0 m at 0.52% CuEq91.0 m at 0.72% CuEq32.0 m at 1.26% CuEq11.2 m at 2.80% CuEqDrill hole H101 is notable for its higher gold-to-copper ratio compared to the broader Hat deposit average. Such metal ratios are commonly observed within zoned porphyry systems and may reflect variations in metal distribution at different structural or vertical levels. Together with the observed continuity of mineralization from near surface to the end of the drill hole, adds an important new constraint to the evolving geological interpretation of the Hat system.

Au recovery: 89.0%; Ag recovery: 68.0%; Cu recovery: 84.0%; Co recovery: 78.0%. * Copper Equivalent Calculation CuEq in % = ([Ag grade in ppm] *27.43*0.68/31.1035 + [Au grade in ppm] *2365.09*.89/31.1035 + 0.0001* [Co grade in ppm] *14.76*0.78*22.0462 + 0.0001* [Cu grade in ppm] *4.17*0.84*22.0462)/(4.17*22.0462*0.84).Details of the algorithm used to estimate %CuEq are presented in the notes above. The metal values used in our current algorithm are average trailing three years commodity prices, and do not reflect recent dramatic increases in prices of mineral commodities. Scandium, a potentially recoverable high value strategic alloy metal (customarily quoted as Sc2O3 ) that is present in small but possibly highly important amounts in Hat mineralization, is not assigned any value pending metallurgical investigations and recoverable results.Core samples are delivered securely to a fully accredited commercial laboratory and processed by industry-standard methods. Assays are received at irregular intervals, verified by reference to notes provided by our field crew, added to our database, and disseminated publicly by News Release.Figure 1: Plan view showing 2025 drill hole locations relative to the 2024 conceptual pit outline, highlighting eastward extensions of mineralizationTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_001full.jpgFigure 2: Cross-section illustrating continuity of mineralization at depth and beyond the eastern margin of the conceptual pit.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_fig2.jpgGeological InterpretationResults from drill holes H100 and H101, when combined with data from drill holes reported earlier in the 2025 season, define an expanded mineralization envelope at the Hat Deposit. Mineralization now demonstrably extends eastward beyond the conceptual pit shell, continuous to depths approaching one kilometre and supports the interpretation of a large, vertically extended porphyry system.The identification of cobalt-enriched intervals at depth in H100 and the gold-rich character of H101 provide additional geological vectors that may assist in defining future drill targets. Importantly, the deepest portions of the Hat porphyry system have not yet been tested by drilling; the Company considers these areas a priority for future exploration programs.Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented:"Drill holes H100 and H101 represent an important step forward in our understanding of the Hat system. These holes confirm that mineralization continues east of the 2024 conceptual pit, as proposed in MRE-1 and remains robust at depth. The elevated cobalt values encountered in H100, together with the higher gold-to-copper ratios observed in H101, provide valuable geological insight into the internal zonation of the system.Together with our large database, including drill results announced earlier this year, these holes collectively expand the mineralization envelope and reinforce our interpretation of Hat as a large, vertically extensive porphyry system. The deepest parts of the system remain untested, and we believe the results to date strongly justify continued, disciplined exploration focused on depth and lateral extensions."Figure 3: 2024 Conceptual pit shell in 3D and 2025 drill holes demonstrating the strategic exploration in 2025To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_003full.jpgFigure 4: Three-dimensional views of the 2024 conceptual pit shell with 2025 drill holes, demonstrating strategic targeting of depth and lateral extensions within the Hat porphyry system.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_004full.jpgFigure 5: Three-dimensional views of the 2024 conceptual pit shell with 2025 drill holes, demonstrating strategic targeting of depth and lateral extensions within the Hat porphyry system.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/278192_677a547c94f369cc_005full.jpgTable 2 summarizes coordinates of the recent drill holes.Table 2.

JAKARTA, Dec 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PT TASPEN (Persero), Indonesia's pension and social insurance administrator for civil servants and public officials, is strengthening its digital transformation efforts by launching a biometric-based monthly authentication system. This initiative aims to ensure accurate pension distribution while improving accessibility for millions of retirees across the country.The new system is integrated into Andal by TASPEN, a mobile application available on the App Store and Google Play Store. Using facial recognition technology, retirees can now verify their identity remotely with a simple selfie, eliminating the need to visit TASPEN branch offices or payment partners in person.As of October 2025, more than 1.63 million retired civil servants have successfully completed biometric authentication through Andal by TASPEN, indicating strong adoption and confidence in TASPEN's digital solutions. TASPEN Corporate Secretary Henra highlighted the initiative as a significant step toward modernizing public service delivery."Our Biometric Authentication feature reflects TASPEN's commitment to building a world-class digital service ecosystem. We want to ensure retirees can access their benefits safely and conveniently from anywhere," he said.Retired civil servants without prior biometric data can register directly through the app by scanning their national ID and completing guided facial verification. The system supports both claim and nonclaim services, offering greater flexibility and reducing administrative bottlenecks. Biometric authentication is required to ensure that pension benefits are delivered only to the rightful recipients, strengthening identity assurance and preventing fraud or impersonation. If participants do not complete the authentication, the system cannot validate their eligibility status, which may result in temporary withholding of monthly pension disbursement until verification is successfully completed.This initiative aligns with Indonesia's national agenda to enhance digital governance, streamline public services, and promote inclusive technology adoption. It also strengthens TASPEN's position at the regional level. TASPEN recently welcomed a benchmarking visit from Cambodia's National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF), which sought insights into TASPEN's digital pension management practices. Through continuous investment in digital innovation, TASPEN aims to establish itself as a leading reference for modern, secure, and efficient pension administration across Asia.PT TASPEN (Persero), formally referred to as the Civil Servants' Savings and Insurance Corporation, is an Indonesian state-owned enterprise mandated to administer old-age savings insurance and pension fund programs for State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and State Officials. Established on 17 April 1963, PT TASPEN (Persero) has consistently played a significant role in promoting social welfare and financial security for Indonesia's public sector workforce. At present, PT TASPEN (Persero) offers an array of products and services, including: Work Accident Security Program (Jaminan Kecelakaan Kerja/JKK), Death Security Program (Jaminan Kematian/JKM), Old-Age Savings Program (Tabungan Hari Tua/THT),and Pension Program.About PT TASPEN (Persero)PT TASPEN (Persero) currently serves as The First Chairman of the Asian Civil Service Pension Association (ACSPA), an association of civil service social security administrators in Asia, with members including Indonesia, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Cambodia.
