AnorTech Welcomes Historic Greenland Security Agreement

Posted on by Ravi Shankar

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AnorTech Inc. (“AnorTech” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: ANOR; OTCQB: ANORF) welcomes the signing of the Greenland Security Agreement by Greenland, the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday.

The agreement marks a significant moment for Greenland and the Arctic. It strengthens defense cooperation across the region, affirms Greenland’s sovereignty and its right to self-determination, and recognizes the importance of critical mineral projects in Greenland.

“This is a historic agreement, and we are especially pleased that Greenland stands as a full signatory, with its rights and sovereignty respected,” said Jim Cambon, President of AnorTech. “The agreement brings security and stability to Greenland and reinforces its role as an integral part of a secure supply chain for critical and strategic resources. We expect increased investment in critical mineral projects to follow.”

About AnorTech Inc.

AnorTech is pioneering the next generation of sustainable materials from anorthosite. The Company owns 100% of the Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland – strategically located just 80 km northeast of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, on open tidewater and adjacent to significant hydroelectric potential.

AnorTech is advancing multiple product lines towards commercialization, including:

  • Zero-waste Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) and High Purity Alumina (HPA)
  • Next generation alumina-based catalysts for CO2 capture
  • CO2-free refractory cement and advanced 3D-printable cement
  • Lunar construction materials using anorthosite-based concrete

The Company filed a U.S. provisional patent in 2025 to protect its proprietary sustainable SGA and HPA process (see NR2025-01) and shipped 15 tonnes of Gronne Bjerg anorthosite to Ontario in preparation for pilot plant testing. AnorTech is actively pursuing strategic industry partnerships to accelerate commercialization of its alumina technologies. AnorTech has over C$3 million in working capital.

Aflac + Rachel Zoe Make Bold Fashion Statement To Prompt Americans To Check for Cancer

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Originally published on Aflac Newsroom

COLUMBUS, Ga., September 23, 2026 /3BL/ – A pioneer in cancer insurance, Aflac has spent seven decades helping people manage the emotional and financial burden of a cancer diagnosis. Today, as part of its Check for Cancer campaign that was launched last year, Aflac and fashion designer Rachel Zoe unveiled a limited-edition jacket that turns fashion into a prompt to check for cancer.

Take Aflac’s Cancer Screening Assessment at CheckForCancerNow.com and complete the entry form for a chance to win Rachel Zoe’s one-of-a kind jacket. The Aflac Fit Checks Sweepstakes goes live on Sept. 22, 2026, at 10 a.m. EDT.

The Check for Cancer campaign leverages Fit Checks, the popular social media trend where individuals show their outfits in a video, highlighting their styling choices. The uniqueness of Zoe’s jacket resides in a custom checkered pattern that features a QR code embedded into the print. Consumers can scan the design with a smartphone or tablet to visit CheckForCancerNow.com, where a simple-to-use Cancer Screening Assessment Tool provides information about screenings as a conversation starter with a healthcare professional. By completing the assessment and filling out the entry form, consumers are entered in a sweepstakes for a chance to win a Rachel Zoe jacket. The Aflac Fit Checks Sweepstakes goes live on Sept. 22, 2026, at 10 a.m. EDT.

According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 3 people will develop cancer in their lifetime2, yet more than 90% of Americans say they have put off health checkups and screenings that could help save their lives3.

The recently released 2026 Aflac Wellness Matters Survey also underscores the importance of cancer prevention as nearly half of Americans (46%) are not aware of age recommended cancer screenings, and nearly 90% of Gen Z diagnosed with cancer admit to avoiding a screening2. The findings build on previous Aflac research showing that too many Americans delay preventive care and reinforce the need to make conversations about cancer screenings part of everyday life.

“Fit Checks is fashion with a purpose”, says Rachel Zoe. “Just like many Americans, cancer has touched many of my family members and close friends, and I have witnessed the impact firsthand. I jumped at the chance to design a jacket to spark conversations about the importance of cancer screenings and make early detection part of everyday life.”

“For more than seven decades, Aflac has helped people navigate the financial and emotional impact of cancer,” said Virgil Miller, president of Aflac Incorporated and Aflac U.S. “Aflac’s Check for Cancer is a natural evolution of our company’s commitment to sound the alarm and highlight the vital importance of early detection for more positive health outcomes. The Fit Checks Jacket by Aflac + Rachel Zoe brings that mission into everyday life in a way that is simple, visible and actionable.”

The Check for Cancer Fit Checks initiative -which has the ambitious goal of increasing cancer screenings by 10% by 2035—will extend to social media, collaborating with influential voices including cancer survivors and influencers Isabella Strahan and Bridget Bahl, as well as fashion designers Kevin Leonel and Lamiah Gholar. Together, we will bring the screening message to broader audiences in relatable, personal ways.

Visit CheckForCancerNow.com to find out which screenings you should schedule today.
