Doubleview Gold Corp Provides End of 2023 Exploration Update at the Hat Polymetallic Project

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its 2023 exploration and drilling program at the Hat Polymetallic Project situated in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.

Key achievements of the 2023 exploration program:

Scope and Targets: The comprehensive program successfully covered all intended work programs and explored designated targets. Notably, this marked the largest work program to date at the Hat project.

Main Objective: The primary focus of the 10,500-meter diamond drilling exploration program was to examine the dimensions and characteristics of Copper, Gold, Scandium, and Cobalt mineralization within the Main Lisle Zone of the Hat deposit and its environs. The deposit remains open in all directions.

Sample Analysis: In the current season, 5,220 samples, weighing 25.5 tonnes, were shipped to ALS laboratories, a fully accredited and globally recognized facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Connecting Deposit Envelopes: A key objective was to enhance connectivity between the deposit envelopes of the Main Lisle deposit and surrounding volumes, creating a cohesive united mass.

NI 43-101 Maiden Resource Estimate: The final achieved and explored volume will serve as the domain envelope for the NI 43-101 maiden resource estimate, anticipated to be disclosed in Q1, 2024.

Budgeting and Cost Controls: Exploration expenses in NW, British Columbia have increased rapidly in recent years. Maintaining tight controls on costs was a key focus of management for the 2023 exploration season. The company drilled approximately 10.500 meters for an estimated %40 of the industry standard costs for a similar drilling campaign.

Farshad Shirvani, President, and CEO stated, “It has been a tremendous year for Doubleview Gold Corp. Accomplishing many goals for the Hat Deposit, our projections reveal significant potential for lateral and depth extensions of this copper-gold deposit, enriched with cobalt and scandium. Importantly, the drilling and exploration program adhered to our projected budget.”

Assay Results:

Assays are being received on a continuous basis and will be published as they are received and verified.

Doubleview maintains a website at www.doubleview.ca.

Cautionary Note: Although a mineral resource estimation is currently being prepared by an independent engineering firm, no mineral resources have been estimated at the Hat Property and there is no assurance that further work will result in the Lisle Zone, or other zones if present, being classified as mineral resources.

Doubleview Gold Corp., a mineral resource exploration and development company, is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and is publicly traded on the TSX-Venture Exchange (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (GER: A1W038) (FSE: 1D4).

Southeast Asia a Bright Spot in the Global Flexible Office Market in 2023 with TEC Centres in the Region Exhibiting Average Occupancy Rates of Over 90%

The Executive Centre (“TEC”), the leading premium flexible workspace provider that serves more than 47,000 Members in 33 cities across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, has seen exceptional growth in Southeast Asia in 2023, with the momentum expected to carry on into 2024.

Led by client demand, TEC has added four new centres in Singapore, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City and Manila this year, with the latest addition in Manila on the 8th floor of Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower 2 which opened last month.

These new openings are backed by consistently high demand and occupancy rates of over 90% across multiple markets in the region in 2023. As of September 2023, TEC’s centres in Singapore and Manila are leading its portfolio at 95% and 98% occupancy rates, followed not far behind by Ho Chi Minh City at 91% and Jakarta at 81%. With these new expansions, TEC has added almost 1,200 workstations across these four key Southeast Asian markets in 2023, representing a 33% increase in workstation growth.

In Singapore, demand for office space is growing as multinational companies seek to relocate to the city-state and set up headquarters there to take advantage of Singapore’s status as a gateway city and key business hub. These include firms from the financial industry such as asset managers, private wealth managers, private equity firms and family offices, as well as technology startups from across the region that are seeking to move to more flexible workspaces which will allow them to downsize or upsize nimbly.

Office demand is also bolstered by the increasing “back-to-office” momentum in Singapore, as employers tighten hybrid working policies, with CBRE’s 2023 Singapore Office Occupier Sentiment Survey finding that 64% of companies are focused on increasing office attendance or improving work efficiency.

Despite the “back-to-office” trend, the way tenants use office spaces has irrevocably changed since pre-Covid days, as companies place greater emphasis on having access to a combination of purpose-built spaces including private offices for focused work, flexible seating, collaborative meeting rooms, and event spaces.

In response to this increased demand for flexible seating, meeting and event spaces, TEC will be opening a new centre from the 45th to 47th floors at Singapore Land Tower in January 2024.

Yvonne Lim, Managing Director of Southeast Asia at The Executive Centre said, “We have done exceptionally well particularly in Singapore with a city average occupancy of 95% in 2023, at the same time, we are seeing robust demand for our upcoming new centre at Singapore Land Tower on Levels 45 to 47. TEC’s expansions are largely driven by client’s requirement and the inter-city network within SEA continue to look strong with clients having multiple presence with TEC SEA network.”

Synergy House Achieves Record Growth with RM69.2 Million Revenue, Profits after Tax Surge by 30.24% in 3Q FY2023

Synergy House Berhad (“Synergy House” or the “Group”), a cross-border e-commerce seller and furniture exporter of ready-to-assemble (“RTA”) home furniture, today announced outstanding financial results for the third quarter ended 30 September 2023 (“3Q FY2023”).

Executive Director of Synergy House, Mr. Tan Eu Tah

In a remarkable display of growth, the Group reported a robust revenue of RM69.2 million and profit after tax (“PAT”) of RM8.1 million for 3Q FY2023, indicating significant quarter-on-quarter improvements. This exceptional performance for the current quarter is largely attributed to Synergy House’s business-to-consumer (B2C) sector’s improved margins, along with the strong growth in its business-to-business (B2B) operations.

Executive Director of Synergy House, Mr. Teh Yee Luen

The Group’s diverse global reach was highlighted in its regional revenue contributions: the United States of America (“USA”) led with RM30.9 million, underscoring its position as the largest market and a testament to the Group’s impactful B2C strategy. The United Kingdom followed closely with RM27.6 million, while the United Arab Emirates contributed RM8.6 million.

For the 9-month period ending 30 September 2023, the Group reported a total revenue of RM179.4 million and a PAT of RM16.9 million, surpassing the PAT of RM16.6 million recorded in the previous 12-month financial year ended 31 December 2022.

The B2C segment was particularly significant, contributing RM77.1 million for the 9-month period ending 30 September 2023, surpassing the total B2C revenue of RM49.6 million recorded in the previous 12-month financial year financial year ended 31 December 2022. This underscores the success of Synergy House’s targeted focus on and investment in the B2C sector.

Executive Director of Synergy House, Mr. Tan Eu Tah said, “The current quarter’s extraordinary results are a clear indicator of the effectiveness of our strategies, particularly in the B2C segment. Notably, our geographical diversification of our B2C segment to UK started to provide positive outcome with an impressive quarter-on-quarter growth of approximately 95%, with revenue reaching RM2.1 million in the third quarter of FY2023, reinforcing our position as a key player in this significant market. Our focused approach in expanding our online presence and enhancing customer engagement has paid off, leading to remarkable growth in both our B2B and B2C segments. We are thrilled with the progress and are committed to continuing our journey towards becoming a dominant force in the global furniture e-commerce market.”

Executive Director of Synergy House, Mr. Teh Yee Luen said, “We are immensely proud of our team’s efforts in achieving these results. The growth in our B2C segment, especially, represents our commitment to meeting consumer demands and adapting to market trends. Our strategies to enhance online visibility and customer reach, coupled with our focus on design innovation, are essential components of our long-term growth plan. We are confident that these strategies will enable us to further strengthen our market position and achieve sustainable growth.”

Looking forward, Synergy House is poised for continued growth with plans to enhance its B2C segment through various strategic initiatives and expand its product range through continuous design and development efforts, and explore opportunities to reach new audiences by expanding to new e-commerce platforms and entering untapped markets in different countries.

Despite global economic challenges, the Group remains optimistic about its prospects in the global furniture e-commerce market, supported by its competitive pricing and established presence in key markets such as the USA, UK, and Canada.

As at 23 November 2023, the share price of Synergy House is RM0.57, representing a market capitalisation of RM285.0 million.

Doubleview Gold Corp Sets New Records in Exploration at Hat Polymetallic Deposit

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce a remarkable achievement in 2023. With an impressive 10,170 meters drilled this year, the Company has not only surpassed records but also illuminated the extraordinary potential of the Hat Polymetallic deposit in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. The drilling campaign is ongoing.

Doubleview’s mission has been clear:

1) Extend the Lisle Deposit: Pushing beyond the boundaries of 2022, the Company expanded the Lisle Deposit, primed to maximize mineral inventory for our 2024 maiden resource estimate.

2) Connect and Discover: Bridging the West Lisle Zone to the Main Lisle Zone revealed the Buck Zone Discovery, uncovering new layers of the Lisle Zone deposit.

3) Southern Expansion: Doubleview’s team stretched the Main Lisle Zone southward, expanding the deposit domain by approximately 250 meters.

4) Future Insights: Work was not limited to drilling; the geology model was further developed using advanced 3D IP geophysical models, setting the stage for exciting future exploration programs.

The 2023 drill holes have now extended the previous boundaries of the Lisle deposit, and have bolstered the mineral inventory and volume for the projected Q1 of 2024 maiden resource estimate.

Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO stated: “I sincerely appreciate our management team who supported us into accomplishment of several outstanding milestones, including but not limited to insightful advanced geological investigations, full archaeological studies, continuation of metallurgical work, and data compilation and organization in preparation for our mineral resource estimate. I also wish to express without reservation my appreciation of all of our employees and contractors that have contributed tirelessly throughout a long field season to the exploration of our exciting Hat deposit.”

The archeological work that included remarkable 553 shovel tests, was carried out by an independent contractor parallel with Doubleview’s exploration activities. The AIA (Archeological Impact Assessment) is expected to be received by the end of this calendar year.

Doubleview Announces South Lisle Zone Drill Holes Extend the Main Lisle Deposit for 120 meters

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (GERMANY: A1W038) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce the inaugural drill results from the south extension of the Lisle Zone. Drill holes H057, H058, and H059 have expanded the Lisle Deposit by 120m to the south and increased the volume of mineralization that will be included in the resource estimate which is being prepared by an independent engineering group and scheduled for completion in Q1 of 2024. This zone also encompasses drill hole H067 announced in news release dated 17th of October, 2023. The polymetallic Hat project is located in the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.

Highlights:

Drill hole H058 of the returned assays of 0.49% copper, 0.18 g/t gold, and 33 g/t scandium over 125.8 meters. This intercept may be a continuation of the same horizon that was encountered in the main Lisle deposit’s richer parts. All drill holes of this zone returned greater than average assayed scandium values compared to all other areas the deposit yet.

the reported results of the 2023 season demonstrate that the Lisle Zone is not limited in this direction towards the south,
the Lisle deposit has an inner mineralization of the strongest Scandium values seen thus far on the project,
these drill holes extend the Lisle deposit by an additional 120m by 200m,
mineralization is open in all directions.

Farshad Shirvani, Doubleview’s president and CEO, commented “It is exciting to discover these new extensions to the south of the Lisle Zone that have added important dimensions to the deposit and indicate further potential in and to the south. The remaining 2023 drill holes will continue to explore this part of the deposit and we also note the strong contribution of the critical metals, copper, cobalt and scandium. The dimensions of the Hat deposit keep increasing and drilling has not found the limits.”

Mr. Shirvani continued “The 2023 drilling campaign continues to advance the Hat polymetallic deposit, and the total meters drilled this season now exceeds 9,000 meters. More results will be announced as they become available.”

Drill hole H-057 intercepted 139.1 m with 0.17g/t gold, 0.23g/t silver, 0.06% copper, 105.3 g/t cobalt and 37.6 g/t scandium, (1.10% Cu Eq). Drill hole H-058 intercepted 654m with 0.27g/t silver, 0.10g/t gold, 0.14% copper, 78.6g/t cobalt and 34.8g/t scandium (1.05% Cu Eq) and included 305.4m with 0.44g/t silver, 0.14g/t gold, 0.26% copper and 32.2g/t scandium (1.11% Cu Eq) and also 125.8m with 0.78g/t silver, 0.22g/t gold, 0.49% copper and 33.0g/t scandium (1.38% Cu Eq). The latter intercept appears to be a direct continuation of a higher grade part of the main Lisle Zone. Drill hole H-059 intercepted 421.7m with 0.18g/t silver, 0.12g/t gold, 0.05% copper and 32.6 g/t scandium (0.93% Cu Eq).

2023 Drill Season:

Doubleview’s goal for the 2023 drill season was to gradually increase the known deposit by strategically drilling new locations, such as the Buck Zone to add more value to the upcoming Q1 2024 resource estimate.

All drill holes in this as well as previous news releases (H054 – H059) have expanded the mineralized envelope of the Lisle Deposit. Table 1 is a compilation of significant intercepts; Table 2 includes drill hole data. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate vertical projections of various drill holes and the southern part of the Lisle Zone.

Society Pass Inc (Nasdaq: SOPA) / Thoughtful Media Group Inc Ventures into Concert Sponsoring in Indonesia

Thoughtful Media Group Inc (“Thoughtful Media” or “TMG”), the Thailand-based social commerce-focused, premium digital advertising network of Society Pass Incorporated (“SoPa”) (Nasdaq: SOPA), Southeast Asia’s (SEA) next generation, data-driven, loyalty, fintech and e-commerce ecosystem, today announces that it will commence sponsoring local live music events in SEA, resulting in creating unique marketing opportunities for advertisers.

Expected to launch its first concert in 4Q 2023 in Jakarta, Indonesia, TMG-sponsored concerts will focus on the local musicians with a tag line of “Lemburan”, which translates as “over-time”, aiming to create a distinctive space and time for music fans to gather and to enjoy the nostalgia of their favourite musicians. Streaming these concerts via TMG-affiliated social media channels, advertisers have the opportunity to collaborate with TMG-connected influencers in promoting these popular music events and reaching to their desired audiences.

Ilhamka Nizam, TMG Indonesia Country Head, explains, “Indonesians love music, and it comes as no surprise that TMG found an innovative way to tap into that expanding market segment. Across these live events, TMG aims to reach over 2.5 million over the course of the next year which will create significant sponsorship opportunities for advertisers and our 10,000-member influencer community here in Indonesia. We are planning to host 1 concert each month and is projected to earn $680K annually, and each year we are planning to host 1 big festival that is outside the monthly concerts we will be hosting. I am confident that over 2024, the Group will expand these initiatives across the rest of the TMG markets in Southeast Asia, significantly increasing the revenues for the Group”.
