For example, exhibitor Ascentiz launched its world's first modular exoskeleton at the fair that has been designed to enhance mobility for the elderly and people with physical impairments, contributing to the silver economy. The fair also introduced a new RoboPark activity zone, hosting over 30 live robot demonstrations and featuring presentations from renowned robotics companies such as Unitree Robotics and Booster Robotics.Several local start-ups and technology companies have stated that they successfully showcased their innovative achievements, launched new products, and connected with potential investors and overseas buyers at the fair.SOTA Robotics, launched and demonstrated its humanoid performing robot CURI Gen2 at RoboPark. Jacky Fan, Robotics Engineer at the startup said: “The newly established RoboPark provided a stage to demonstrate our capabilities to the industry. We successfully established direct contact with potential investors from several countries and regions such as the United Kingdom, Pakistan and the Chinese Mainland.”Well-known enterprises from the Chinese Mainland used the fairs as a platform to develop global business opportunities. Xiangru Nie, Co-founder of PaXini Technology, one of the “Shenzhen’s Eight Great Guardians of Embodied Intelligence” said: “Through the fair we have seen greater possibilities in technological globalisation. We are leveraging Hong Kong's international network to accelerate the implementation of our technologies in areas such as high-end manufacturing in Europe and the United States, and smart services in Southeast Asia.” He added that through the fair, the company had not only secured procurement intentions with robotics companies from Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and the Philippines but also attracted significant attention from high-end manufacturing sectors in Europe and the United States, including Germany and the United Kingdom. He said this engagement with dozens of high-quality potential clients had led to the total value of intended orders  expected to exceed tens of millions of renminbi – far ahead of his initial expectations.Elijah Yu, International Sales Manager of Shanghai Hi-dolphin Robot Technology Co., Ltd, mentioned that the fairs played a crucial role as a springboard for mainland companies to reach overseas customers: “We met a client from Turkey at the fair who placed an onsite order for 10 COFE+ Robot Coffee Kiosks, totalling US$450,000. Additionally, we engaged in productive discussions with potential buyers from Thailand, the United States and other regions, successfully establishing 200 promising leads.”Overseas exhibitors came to participate in the fair in Hong Kong to explore business opportunities in the Asian market. Michael Obrecht, Director of Siborg Systems Inc, a provider of precision electronic measurement tools from Canada said: “Participating in electronicAsia, we were able to spot and explore new opportunities in reaching a broader international audience, especially in Asia. The fair allowed us to connect with potential buyers from at least eight different countries and regions, such as Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan and Russia.”Global buyers source new products with strong interest from emerging marketsMany high-tech companies were actively sourcing at the fair. Hanafiah Yussof, Founder & CEO of Robopreneur Sdn. Bhd., a service robotics company based in Malaysia, said the fair is keeping pace with the latest industry developments, and he had already seen several suppliers for robots with embedded AI. He had met suppliers from the mainland, Europe and Japan and expected to spend around US$2 million annually.Neelesh Bhatia, CEO of Alraja Trading FZC LLC from the United Arab Emirates, visited the fair to source a range of electronic products, including automotive touch panels, audio systems and beauty devices. He believed that the fair’s strategic location had been crucial in connecting the company with manufacturers from the mainland. His projected purchasing budget is around US$300,000 for this cycle, with the potential to reach up to US$1.5 million annually once partnerships grow.Seminars foster exchange, collaboration and business expansionOver the course of the exhibitions, the organiser hosted more than 100 engaging activities, forums and robot showcases, including the 10th Symposium on Innovation and Technology, the Hong Kong Electronic Forum and the AI-Powered Monitoring and Smart Inspection in Construction seminar.

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 16, 2025) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQB: RMRDF) (FSE: 2RX) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will expand the ongoing step-out exploration drill program at the O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") to 140,000 metres utilizing up to eight drill rigs. The expanded program aims to build upon recent successes in delineating new high-grade gold mineralization outside the scope of the Project's current Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"). This will be the largest drill program in the history of the Project.Matt Manson, President & CEO, commented: "Following the recent completion of our very successful $25 million financing (see Radisson news release dated October 7, 2025), we are announcing a major increase in scope and ambition to our exploration drill program at O'Brien. Since late last year we have been demonstrating significant new gold mineralization in "proof-of-concept" drilling beneath the current mineral resources and below the historic mine workings (Figure 1). Our Exploration Target at O'Brien is between 3 and 4 million ounces of gold in 15 to 20 million tonnes at between 4.5 and 8.0 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au")1. This is based on the proposition that O'Brien's mesothermal gold mineralization continues to an exploration horizon of at least 2 kilometres depth. With recent results supporting this thesis, we now intend to accelerate our efforts with a view to meaningful resource growth at the Project. The new expanded program of 140,000 metres will continue through 2026 with up to 8 drill rigs, generating significant new data, updates to the Project's MRE, and regular news flow."Matt Manson continued: "The recently completed O'Brien Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") describes a high value project based on the use of neighbouring milling facilities for the processing of mined material, reducing capital costs, development risk, and project footprint (see Radisson news release dated July 9, 2025). It also represents a moment-in-time "snap-shot" for the Project utilizing the pre-existing MRE, which is located primarily at depths above 600 metres and based on drilling completed to the end of 2022. Our objective by the end of this new and aggressive drill program will be to demonstrate full potential scope of the Project." Step-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince late 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the full scope of mineralization at the Project to a 2-kilometre deep exploration floor. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. The first pilot hole drilled beneath the historic mine workings of the O'Brien mine intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth, 500 metres below the final mining stope.Figure 1: Long Section of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published to Date. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/270643_d9c3a9f0f4fee970_002full.jpgAssay results from 7 wedges from this pilot holes have now been reported (see Radisson news release dated July 16, 2025) and up to six high-grade, gold-bearing veins have been delineated over an area of approximately 250 metres (east-west) by 250 metres (vertical). Assay results from additional wedges are expected shortly. Step-out drilling with wedge extensions has also confirmed high-grade mineralization 170 metres below the base of the existing mineral resources at Trend #1 and up to 300 metres below previous drill intercepts at Trend #2 (see Radisson news release dated September 8, 2025).By the end of 2025, Radisson expects to have completed approximately 35,000 metres of a 50-60,000 metre drill program originally announced in May 2025 (see Radisson news release dated May 21, 2025). With the new drilling announced today, the total meters drilled in this ongoing step-out program will increase to 140,000 metres. This will incorporate an expansion of site facilities and personnel to support up to 8 drill rigs from the current four. These rigs have already been secured under the terms of engagement with our existing drill contractor. The first additional drill rig has been mobilized to site, with drilling expected to start prior to the end of this month.Targeting priorities will be developed dynamically based on results, but will include: (a) multiple pilot-holes and wedge clusters beneath the historic mine to 2 kilometres depth, (b) pilot holes and wedges testing the deep extensions of Trends #0, #1 and #2, (c) testing for mineralization between Trends #1 and #2, and (d) testing the extension of gold mineralization beneath the historic Thompson-Cadillac mine located west of the O'Brien Mine.Updated Mineral Resource EstimatesThe MRE utilized in the recent O'Brien PEA comprises Indicated Mineral Resources of 0.58 million ounces (2.20 million tonnes at 8.2 g/t Au) and Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.93 million ounces (6.67 million tonnes at 4.4 g/t Au). Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. This MRE, effective as of May 6, 2025, is based on 325,509 metres of drilling completed to the end of 2022. By the end of the currently scheduled drill program a significant amount of new drilling will have been completed, the larger part being outside the scope of the current MRE and recent PEA mine design. This is expected to merit multiple updates to the O'Brien MRE as the drilling progresses.Gold Mineralization at O'BrienGold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to the metre-scale in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with near-vertical, high-grade shoots developed over significant lengths. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focussed on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well developed vein mineralization to the east of the historic mine, with additional high-grade shoots becoming evident in the exploration data over what has been described as a series of repeating trends ("Trend #s 0 to 5").Qualified Persons Disclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Richard Nieminen, P.Geo, (QC), a geological consultant for Radisson and a Qualified Person for purposes of NI 43-101. Mr. Luke Evans, M.Sc., P.Eng., ing, of SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd., is the Qualified Person responsible for the preparation of the MRE at O'Brien. Each of Mr. Nieminen and Mr. Evans is independent of Radisson and the O'Brien Gold Project.About Radisson MiningRadisson is a gold exploration company focused on its 100% owned O'Brien Gold Project, located in the Bousquet-Cadillac mining camp along the world-renowned Larder-Lake-Cadillac Break in Abitibi, Québec. A July 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment described a low cost and high value project with an 11-year mine life and significant upside potential based on the use of existing regional infrastructure. Indicated Mineral Resources are estimated at 0.58 million ounces (2.20 million tonnes at 8.2 g/t Au), with additional Inferred Mineral Resources estimated at 0.93 million ounces (6.67 million tonnes at 4.4 g/t Au).
