Doubleview Gold Corp Announces Significant High-Grade Copper and Gold Intercepts at Hat Polymetallic Deposit

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company” or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce significant assay results from its 2024 drilling program at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia. The results from drill holes H078 and H079 include the most substantial intervals of high-grade copper and gold mineralization encountered at the Hat Project to date. Drill holes H081, H082, H083 and H085 provide more details of the East Lisle Zone, a shallow extension of the Main Lisle Zone. (Drill hole H084 was abandoned before it reached its target depth).

1- Central Lisle Zone Drill Results:

The recent drilling focused on the Central Lisle Zone, which is interpreted as a potential porphyry feeder zone. The intercepts demonstrate shallow mineralization horizons and provide further evidence of the Hat Deposit’s robust mineralization profile.

Drill Hole H078:

From 12 meters to 684 meters: 672 meters averaging 0.29% Copper and 0.22 g/t Gold (0.50% CuEq – see note (a) for CuEq calculation).
Significant long intercepts include:
- 409 meters (from 92 meters to 501 meters) averaging 0.39% Copper and 0.28 g/t Gold (0.65% CuEq) including
- 107 meters (from 247 meters to 354 meters) averaging 1.00% Copper and 0.46 g/t Gold (1.42% CuEq), the highest-grade interval recorded at the Hat Project.

Drill Hole H079:

From 7 meters to 732 meters:725 meters averaging 0.29% Copper and 0.22 g/t Gold (0.44% CuEq) including
- 572 meters (from 150 meters to 722 meters) averaging 0.28% Copper and 0.25 g/t Gold (0.50% CuEq) and
- 213 meters (from 510 meters to 723 meters) averaging 0.59% Copper and 0.50 g/t Gold (1.00% CuEq) and
- 82 meters (from 600 meters to 682 meters) averaging 0.95% Copper and 0.79 g/t Gold (1.58% CuEq).

Drill Hole H080:

From 318 meters to 372 meters:54 meters averaging 0.30% Copper and 0.21 g/t Gold (0.50% CuEq), including:
- 22 meters (from 350 meters to 372 meters) averaging 0.54% Copper and 0.38 g/t Gold (0.91% CuEq).

Quality Assurance and Quality Control:

Hat Project drill cores are processed at Doubleview’s camp where they are photographed, measured and logged by our technical staff and then divided using a diamond bladed saw. One half is placed in a stout bag to form the assay sample that is forwarded securely to the independent analytical lab. The remaining half core is stored on site where it is available for further examination and sampling. The assay cores are subject to a Chain of Custody routine as they are shipped from camp to a bonded carrier for delivery to the lab.

Core samples are analysed at the North Vancouver facility of ALS Canada Ltd. using their PREP-31, PGM-ICP24, ME-MS61, and ME-ICP06 packages. Each core sample is dried, then crushed to 70% passing a 2mm screen. All material is processed in an automatic Riffle splitter to yield a 250g homogenized, representative sample. This sub-sample is then pulverized to 85% passing a 75-micron screen. All samples are analyzed for Au, Pt, Pd by 50g fire-assay fusion/ICP-ES finish, using PGM-ICP24 package. A separate 0.25g pulp split is analyzed by Four Acid digestion/ICP-MS finish, reporting 48 elements. Over limit elements are analyzed by Ore Grade Four Acid digestion/ICP-ES finish using ME-OG62 assay package. All of Doubleview’s core samples are analyzed or assayed at independent ISO 17025 and ISO 9001- certified laboratories.

When initial assays are received and accepted by our staff, a certain fraction of the samples will be sent to a second ISO-certified lab for check assay and verification purposes. Assays will be reported in News Releases.

foundit Insights Tracker: Malaysia and Philippines Thrive with 85% and 75% Retail Hiring Growth, Singapore Steadies Ahead

foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME), a leading jobs and talent platform, has released the annual foundit Insights Tracker (fit) report, offering comprehensive insights into hiring trends across Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. This in-depth analysis sheds light on the evolving employment landscapes in these dynamic Southeast Asian economies.

The tracker analyses labour market trends in Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, offering key insights into hiring dynamics across these job markets.

A closer look at the hiring trends shows that the Philippines recorded a robust 20% YoY growth in hiring primarily driven by its expansion of retail, logistics, and BPO sectors. Malaysia also experienced a 10% rise in hiring activities, while Singapore saw an 11% drop, reflecting a slowdown, especially in industries like IT and BFSI.

Commenting on these findings, V Suresh, CEO of foundit, said, “The evolving employment landscape across Southeast Asia is shaped by key factors such as digital adoption, workplace dynamics, and shifting compensation strategies. Malaysia has leveraged its digital momentum, particularly in retail and hospitality, to drive substantial hiring growth. Similarly, the Philippines has capitalised on consumer demand to expand its retail sector. Meanwhile, in Singapore, technology and efficiency are redefining industry roles. Overall, businesses that strike a balance between technology-driven strategies and employee well-being will be best positioned to navigate these shifts and sustain long-term growth.”

Malaysia recorded the highest YoY growth in Retail hiring at 85%, followed by the Philippines at 75%, where growth was driven by rapid expansion of retail outlets and rising middle-class consumption. Meanwhile, Singapore’s retail industry experienced a 9% YoY decline in hiring activities, which reflects the maturity of its online shopping business.

A sector-specific analysis showed that substantial investments, visa-free policies and spending on digital advertising across borders made by the Malaysian government led to the 42% YoY growth in hiring in the hospitality sector. Meanwhile, growing infrastructural investments, rising tourism, and the use of smart hospitality technology like digital booking systems enabled the Philippines to achieve a notable 30% growth.

Singapore’s hospitality industry saw a 15% decline in recruitment annually, reflecting a slowdown in workforce demand within the sector. This low performance might be attributed to limited promotional initiatives, tighter visa norms and technological shifts such as jobs being outsourced to artificial intelligence (AI) and automation.

Functional outlook analysis across sectors indicated that Malaysia saw a 25% annual increase in roles across Software, Hardware, and Telecom. This resilience reflects the high demand for experts in AI, machine learning, and cloud computing, aligning with the global digitalisation trend as companies place a higher priority on technology for long-term growth and sustainability. In contrast, Singapore experienced a sharp 45% decline in tech roles, and Philippines faced challenges at -8% YoY.

Hiring activity in the Marketing & Communications industry saw an upward annual trend in both the Philippines and Malaysia, reaching 43% and 36%, respectively. Digital campaigns, the growth of social media, SEO & SEM, and expanding e-commerce technology have propelled this surge. In contrast, Singapore’s Marketing & Communications sector faced a 9% decline in hiring demand, primarily due to reduced budgets for traditional marketing roles.

A notable shift was observed in HR & Administration roles, with the Philippines experiencing remarkable growth of 47% over the last year. This was driven by the expansion of industries such as Retail, Outsourcing, and Infrastructure sectors, as companies prioritised scaling their HR functions to manage workforce growth, streamline operations, and enhance employee engagement. At the same time, HR roles in Malaysia grew by 28%, while Singapore saw a 12% decline, most likely due to organisations in the country shifting towards automation and outsourcing of administrative functions to optimise costs.

Doubleview Gold Corp Increases the Dimensions of the Hat Polymetallic Deposit with High-Grade and Extensive Mineralization in Drill Holes H075 to H077

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company” or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce further drill hole results from the 2024 drill campaign at its 100% owned Polymetallic Hat Porphyry Project, located in northwestern British Columbia. Long copper-gold-silver-cobalt intercepts in Drill holes H075, H076 and H077 expand the mineralization and potentially will increase the Hat Project’s resource in size and grade.

2024 Exploration:

The 2024 drilling program was designed to confirm the integrity of the resource estimate categories, particularly the indicated resource figures and potentially to allow elevating part or all to a measured resource. Holes were directed to intersect shallow mineralization and to further explore high grade zones. Drilling has confirmed the continuity of mineralization indicating that the deposit exhibits greater consistency than typically expected of a porphyry-style deposit.

Important Drill hole Intercepts:

DDH		From (m)	To (m)	Length (m)	CuEq³ (%) excluding Sc₂O₃	Au (g/t)	Cu (%)	Ag (g/t)	Co (g/t)	Sc (g/t)

Detailed High-Grade Results:

a) DDH H075:

The high-grade intercepts are tabulated below:

DDH		From (m)	To (m)	Length (m)	CuEq³ (%) excluding Sc₂O₃	Au (g/t)	Cu (%)	Ag (g/t)	Co (g/t)	Sc (g/t)
H075		196.7	253.3	56.6	1.00	0.44	0.62	1.18	95.7	23.8

H075	And	329.0	351.0	22.0	0.99	0.39	0.67	0.94	68.4	19.5

Additionally, drill hole H075 has significant mineralization from 45 metres depth to 341 metres, with 0.40% CuEq. (including 0.23% Cu and 0.16 g/t Au).

b) DDH H076:

Drill hole H076 was mineralized from near surface with stronger gold and silver values. As illustrated in the following table, gold values over long intervals are among the highest recorded on the property.

DDH		From (m)	To (m)	Length (m)	CuEq³ (%) excluding Sc₂O₃	Au (g/t)	Cu (%)	Ag (g/t)	Co (g/t)	Sc (g/t)
H076		12.0	84.0	72.0	0.44	0.49	0.05	0.57	47.6	29.7
	Including	21.0	63.0	42.0	0.70	0.82	0.07	0.86	47.0	31.0

c) DDH H077:

Drill hole H077 intercepted strong copper-silver-cobalt mineralization over more than 408 metres length. The 904 g/t cobalt over 4 meters from 352 meters depth demonstrates the wide array of elements which make the Hat Polymetallic Deposit unique.

DDH		From (m)	To (m)	Length (m)	CuEq³ (%) excluding Sc2O3	Au (g/t)	Cu (%)	Ag (g/t)	Co (g/t)	Sc (g/t)
H077		89.0	497.0	408.0	0.32	0.13	0.16	0.36	103.4	28.0
H077	Including	352.0	356.0	4.0	0.87	0.21	0.25	0.33	904	27.2

Notes:

Copper Equivalent (CuEq) currently does not include the Scandium
Metal equivalents should not be relied upon for future evaluations. – Drill hole intercepts included in this news release are core lengths that may or may not be true widths of mineralization. It is not possible to determine true widths. –
Parameters used to calculate Copper Equivalent: Au price (US$/oz): 1900; Ag price (US$/oz): 24; Cu price (US$/lb): 4; Co price (US$/lb): 22. 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] *24*0.68/31.1035 + [Au grade in ppm] *1900*.89/31.1035 + 0.0001* [Co grade in ppm] *22*0.78*22.0462 + 0.0001* [Cu grade in ppm] *4*0.84*22.0462)/(4*22.0462*0.84).

Mr. Farshad Shirvani, president & CEO of Doubleview, states: “The 2024 drill campaign was successful in testing, confirming and improving our resource model. We are encouraged to see the occurrence of mineralization closer to the surface as well as strong mineralization drill holes which proves continuity and allows for more detailed structural interpretations. This will strongly reflect in the upcoming MRE.V 2.0 that will be part of Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and add value to the Polymetallic Hat Deposit by increasing the metal content. We are continuously working on our exploration model as data becomes available to recognize details of the deposit and its critical and precious metals.”

The following section illustrates drill holes H075 to H077 intersecting the Hat polymetallic deposit along the strike of major high-grade mineralization. (Section looking North East)
