HONG KONG, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 3 E Network Technology Group Limited (Nasdaq: MASK) (the “Company” or “3 E Network”), a business-to-business (“B2B”) information technology (“IT”) business solutions provider, committed to becoming a next-generation artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure solutions provider, today announced the initiation of a global vendor evaluation and Request for Proposal (“RFP”) process targeting high-density server clusters, liquid cooling infrastructure, and core networking equipment for its multi-megawatt AI compute center in Mikkeli, Finland. Following the recent release of the Mikkeli Data Center Blueprint, the finalization of multi-megawatt power parameters, and the establishment of compute distribution channels, this procurement process transitions the facility into the practical phase of physical hardware selection and deployment. To guide the supply chain procurement, the evaluation focuses on four technical requirements set out in the blueprint:

1. Implementing 120kW+ Rack Power Density and Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling Standards

To address the escalating Thermal Design Power in Large Language Model (“LLM”) training workloads, and in alignment with previously established thermal management objectives, 3 E Network requires that proposed thermal management solutions support rack power densities of 120kW and above (“120kW+”).

Given the physical constraints of traditional air-cooling architectures when managing next-generation high-power AI accelerators, this evaluation will prioritize advanced Direct-to-Chip liquid cooling technologies. By employing micro-channel cold plates affixed directly to the silicon core, this technology utilizes high specific heat capacity to manage primary component heat. This standard aims to mitigate localized thermal hotspots, maintain thermodynamic stability during extended training cycles, extend hardware operational life, and optimize the facility’s overall Power Usage Effectiveness.

2. Evaluating Next-Gen GPU Architecture Compatibility and Non-Blocking Network Topologies

The RFP process prioritizes “architectural compatibility and stress-test reliability” as key evaluation metrics. The Company’s engineering teams are benchmarking technical requirements against the spatial, power delivery, and data throughput profiles of upcoming flagship AI accelerator architectures, including ecosystems based on Blackwell and Vera Rubin planning.

In line with the high-speed cluster objectives set in the blueprint, the Company has specified high-performance standards for low-latency and non-blocking interconnectivity. Addressing the intensive data interaction demands of LLM training, the evaluation will focus on 800G and above Ethernet and InfiniBand-class leaf-spine topology solutions, aiming to optimize internal data flows and ensure large-scale GPU nodes operate in a highly synchronized environment.

3. Deploying All-Flash NVMe Storage Clusters and Parallel File Systems

In the multimodal model landscape, data transfer efficiency is as vital as underlying computational power. To overcome Data Input/Output (“I/O”) bottlenecks during large-parameter model training and prevent GPU compute idle time, the Company has designated all-flash NVMe over Fabrics storage arrays and high-performance parallel file systems as standard procurement criteria.

This specification requires the storage architecture to deliver high read throughputs at the terabytes-per-second level with microsecond latency. Additionally, the system must support efficient, concurrent model checkpointing capabilities. This allows for the rapid preservation of extensive model state data, thereby effectively facilitating recovery from hardware interruptions, minimizing the loss of training progress, and maintaining the operational efficiency of compute assets.

4. Accommodating 48V DC Power Evolution to Support the Green Energy Architecture

To smoothly integrate with the facility’s green energy architecture and manage the significant transient power spikes associated with new-generation AI chips, 3 E Network requires rack-level power delivery infrastructure to be compatible with and capable of evolving toward a 48V Direct Current busbar architecture. Compared to traditional 12V setups, 48V power delivery lowers line current, which reduces transmission losses and improves end-to-end power conversion efficiency.

Concurrently, the accompanying intelligent Power Distribution Units must provide high conversion efficiency alongside integrated dynamic load balancing and precise energy monitoring. This intelligent power distribution design is intended to offer robust reliability for the underlying electrical grid when high-density clusters manage complex inference tasks or initiate large-scale training runs.

Strategic Outlook and Execution Plan

With the foundational power parameters and commercial distribution channels for the Finnish project established, 3 E Network’s management team views this core hardware evaluation as a crucial phase in translating the theoretical blueprint into physical infrastructure. By outlining technical specifications including the 120kW+ liquid cooling threshold, non-blocking networking, high-throughput I/O, and 48V power compatibility, the Company has communicated clear deployment requirements to the hardware supply chain. 3 E Network is focused on building a robust, industrial-grade technological platform to support the computational demands of large-scale AI models. In the subsequent evaluation period, the Company will engage in detailed technical discussions with selected vendors to finalize the infrastructure matrix selection, accelerating the capital expenditure rollout and the practical commissioning of the Finnish project.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NevGold Corp. (“NevGold” or the “Company”) (TSXV:NAU) (OTCQX:NAUFF) (Frankfurt:5E50) is pleased to announce the results of gravity and CSAMT geophysical surveys completed at its 100% owned, oxide, heap-leachable, resource-stage Nutmeg Mountain Gold Project (the “Project”, “Nutmeg Mountain”) in Idaho. Nutmeg Mountain represents a highly prospective gold system within NevGold’s strategic Western U.S. portfolio. While the Company’s primary capital and operational focus remains firmly anchored on advancing and de-risking its flagship Limousine Butte Gold-Antimony Project, these results underscore the value and hidden upside within NevGold’s broader project pipeline. The geophysical surveys have successfully identified new, high-priority drill targets focused on near-surface Mineral Resource expansion, and potential high-grade feeder structures at depth.

Key Highlights

• Updated Geological Model Unlocks District-Scale Potential: Nutmeg Mountain is a low-sulphidation epithermal gold system, a deposit type where high-grade feeder structures commonly underlie disseminated near-surface mineralization (Figure 2). NevGold’s new geological model has identified six near-surface gold targets and three potential feeder structures through new geological mapping, Controlled-Source, Audio-Frequency Magnetotelluric (CSAMT), and gravity surveys (Figure 1, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5).

• Near Surface Targets Focused On Mineral Resource Expansion: six near-surface targets have been defined combining favourable gravity and CSAMT response, which has strong correlation to the 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) of 1.19 Mozs of Indicated Resources at 0.50 g/t Au (74.2 Mt) and 548 kozs of Inferred Resources at 0.34 g/t Au (49.8 Mt) (2025 MRE Disclosure in Section below).

• Feeder Targets Focused On High-Grade Discovery: three feeder targets have been defined where gravity and CSAMT inversion align (Figure 1), extending well beyond the base of historical drilling which averaged less than 75 meters depth (246 feet). In the upper 200 meters (656 feet) NevGold interprets the response as intense silicification. At depth it maps the margins of the basement volcanic fault blocks, interpreted as graben-bounding structures or major fault zones. In low-sulphidation epithermal systems, silicified fault zones of this kind commonly host the boiling zones in which high-grade gold could potentially be deposited. These targets have not been tested by historical drilling at the Project.

NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: “The CSAMT and gravity surveys have transformed our understanding of the structural controls on gold at Nutmeg Mountain. Since completing our 2025 MRE, we have been focused on unlocking the district-scale potential of the Project by completing additional geological layers to refine our future targeting and drilling. This is the exact strategy that yielded immense success for us at Limo Butte over the last 12 months. With this new geological model, we have identified nine new drill targets, including three potential high-grade feeder targets extending well beyond the current MRE boundaries. Nutmeg Mountain already hosts 1.19 Moz (74.2 Mt at 0.50 g/t Au) Indicated and 548 koz Inferred (49.8 Mt at 0.34 g/t Au) of oxide heap-leachable gold that starts at surface. These results show us the structures continue deeper than historical drilling (which averaged just 75 meters depth), and laterally onto untested ground. Drilling these high-quality targets over the next 3-6 months will be a priority as we advance the Project toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) in 2027. While Limousine Butte remains our flagship priority, adding top-tier personnel to our U.S. technical and operating team has expanded our internal capacity. We are now fully equipped to aggressively advance Limousine Butte while simultaneously unlocking value across our project pipeline, including Nutmeg Mountain (gold, MRE stage) and Zeus (copper porphyry exploration).”

Nutmeg Mountain CSAMT Survey
The CSAMT survey comprised 12 lines totaling 38.3 line kilometers (23.8 miles) at a nominal 25-meter (82 ft) spacing, and was conducted by Zonge International of Reno, Nevada. The survey successfully defined major faults lying outside of the current drilling footprint.

The survey was successful at mapping resistivity contrasts, permitting blind geology to be modelled beneath and outboard of the drilled area. Dark colors indicate more resistive rock which could be strong silicification above 200 meters (656 feet), and a possible volcanic basement below. Silicification is a strong proxy for gold mineralization at Nutmeg Mountain (Figure 1, Panel A). The margins of these features are interpreted as fault block boundaries and are the focus of target generation. A steeply dipping, deep-seated fault system beneath the 2025 MRE forms Feeder Targets #1-3 with more than 200 meters (656 feet) of vertical offset in basement volcanic units modelled. Resistive zones along mineralized trends and outside of the historical drilling footprint form Near-Surface Targets #1-6 (Figure 1, Panel A, Panel B, Figure 3). 

Nutmeg Mountain Gravity Survey
The gravity survey covered approximately 18 square kilometers (6.9 square miles) with 819 ground stations at a nominal 150 meter (492 ft.) spacing. The survey and 3D inversion was provided by Zonge International of Reno, NV.

The 3D gravity inversion survey was successful at detecting relative density contrasts that defined geology beneath the MRE. Gray and pink indicate high relative density, interpreted as rock subjected to intense silicification or as basement volcanic packages (Figure 1, Panel B, Panel C). Under either interpretation, these bodies define fault blocks bounding the graben that hosts the Nutmeg Mountain deposit, a setting in which epithermal veins commonly form (Figure 2).

The critical finding, which the Company considers highly significant, is a steeply dipping deep-seated fault system modelled beneath the MRE revealing a body of approximately 700 meters (2,297 feet) wide with a vertical extent of approximately 500 meters (1,640 feet), lying outside the drilling footprint and forming Feeder Targets 1 and 2 (Figure 1, Panel B, Panel C). The margins of high density features are interpreted to be graben bounding structures between high density basement volcanic rocks and low density sediments/tuffs (Figure 4, Figure 5). In low-sulphidation epithermal systems, such boundaries commonly focus silicification and gold deposition (Figure 2).

Exploration Takeaways
The combination of new geological mapping, CSAMT, and gravity inversion has changed how NevGold views the Nutmeg Mountain Gold Project. Drilling to date has defined an oxide, heap-leachable MRE of 1.19 Moz (74.2 Mt at 0.5 g/t Au) Indicated and 548 koz Inferred (49.8 Mt at 0.34 g/t Au) that starts at surface (see 2025 MRE disclosure in Section below), but with an average historical hole depth of less than 75 meters (246 feet). Historical work at the Project has focused on testing the shallowest part of the system.

Two independent geophysical datasets now model structures that lie beneath and beside the MRE. Coincident high-density and high-resistivity zones define a structure extending well below the base of drilling, with more than 200 meters (656 feet) of vertical offset observed in basement volcanic units modelled across the structure (Figure 4, Figure 5). In low-sulphidation epithermal systems, structures of this magnitude and scale are the conduits along which mineralizing fluids ascend, and the zones in which boiling drives gold deposition (Figure 1, Panel C, Figure 2).

Feeder Targets 1 and 2 rank highest, defined by the structural intersection of northwest and north-south trending structures modelled in both CSAMT and gravity surveys (Figure 1, Figure 4, Figure 5). In low-sulphidation epithermal systems, such intersections host potentially higher-grade gold.

Laterally, resistive zones extend the prospective ground well beyond the historically drilled footprint. Approximately 1.6 kilometers (1.0 miles) northeast of the Northern Zone, steeply dipping flow banded rhyolite with a fine-grained black silicified matrix and spherulite development is exposed along the east Weiser River fault. The Pepper Target (near-surface Target 2) also remains undrilled (Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5).

Notes:

1. Effective date of this mineral resource estimate is August 29, 2025.
2. All mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions, as required under National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”). The Mineral Resource Statement was prepared by Greg Mosher, P. Geo (Global Mineral Resource Services, “GMRS”) in accordance with NI 43-101.
3. Mineral Resources reported demonstrate a reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction through additional exploration, as required under NI 43-101. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the estimated Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves. The potential development of the Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, and other relevant issues.
4. Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.20 g/t Au for an open-pit mining scenario. Cut-off grades are based on a price of US$2350/oz gold, and a number of operating cost and recovery assumptions, including a reasonable contingency factor. Metallurgical recoveries of 80% were used. Densities based on lithology were assigned.
5. Ounce (troy) = metric tonnes x grade / 31.10348. All numbers have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate.
6. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources are uncertain in nature and there has not been sufficient work to define these Inferred Mineral Resources as Indicated or Measured Mineral Resources. It is reasonably expected that many of the Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration, however, there is no assurance that further exploration will result in all or any part of the Inferred Mineral Resources being converted into Indicated Mineral Resources.
7. Tonnages and ounces in the tables are rounded to the nearest thousand and hundred, respectively. Numbers may not total due to rounding.

(Nasdaq: SSTI) (“SoundThinking” or the “Company”), a leading public safety technology company, and Transom Capital Group (“Transom”), an operationally focused middle-market private equity firm, today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement (“Merger Agreement”) under which Transom will acquire SoundThinking through a tender offer for $8.00 per share in cash, and one non-transferable CVR worth up to $3.00 per share, for aggregate potential consideration of up to $11.00 per share in cash.

The implied enterprise value of SoundThinking based solely on the up-front cash consideration is approximately $114 million, and the total enterprise value with payment of the maximum CVR payment is approximately $159 million.

The up-front cash consideration offer price represents a premium of 46% to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on September 28, 2026 (the last trading day prior to the announcement of the transaction). If the shareholders ultimately receive CVR payments, the premium received by the Company’s shareholders will be higher. For example, if the shareholders ultimately receive CVR payments equal to the maximum payment of $3.00 per CVR, the aggregate consideration received through the offer would represent a premium of 101% to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on September 28, 2026.

“We are pleased to have entered into an agreement with Transom that delivers significant, immediate and certain value to our shareholders with additional future upside potential,” said Deborah Grant, Chair of the SoundThinking Board. “The SoundThinking Board of Directors regularly evaluates opportunities available to the Company and our standalone plans. Given the dynamic market environment, our Board believes that this transaction maximizes value for shareholders while positioning our business for the future. We are confident that our agreement with Transom is in the best interests of the Company and all our shareholders.”

“Joining forces with Transom marks an important milestone for SoundThinking and reflects the progress we have made in evolving into a broader public safety platform,” said Ralph Clark, President and CEO of SoundThinking. “Our focus has always been helping communities become safer and more resilient through data and technology, and we believe that moving forward as a private company with Transom will enable us to operate with greater flexibility to better support customers and deliver on our mission. Transom recognizes the value of our technology and the dedication of our team, and we are excited to partner with them as we begin this next phase.”

“SoundThinking has built a differentiated platform that delivers measurable impact for its customers and communities,” said Mads Jorge, Managing Director at Transom. “We are excited to partner with Ralph and the entire team to support continued investment in the Company’s innovative public safety products to advance the Company’s important purpose and mission.”

Transaction Details

Under the terms of the agreement, Transom will commence a tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of SoundThinking’s common stock for a purchase price of $8.00 per share in cash, payable at closing, plus one non-transferable CVR, which entitles each holder thereof to receive up to an additional $3.00 per share in cash, payable upon achievement of certain revenue milestones.

The CVR will entitle shareholders to receive $0.50 per share if revenue for the Company’s ShotSpotter and SafePointe products in 2027 (plus certain revenue attributable to 2027 but recognized in 2028) is equal to or greater than $73.5 million, plus an additional $0.05 per share for every $0.5 million of such revenue in excess of this amount through $75.5 million, and an additional $0.05 per share for every $0.25 million of fiscal year 2027 revenue in excess of $75.5 million through $87 million.

If the tender offer is successfully completed, Transom will acquire all remaining shares of SoundThinking not tendered in the offer through a second step merger for the same consideration as is paid in the tender offer.

The transaction has been unanimously approved by the SoundThinking Board and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the Company’s shareholders validly tendering shares of SoundThinking’s common stock representing at least a majority of the outstanding shares of SoundThinking common stock.

In connection with the execution of the definitive transaction agreement, Transom has entered into tender and support agreements with each of Veradace Partners L.P. and Gary M. Lauder and affiliated entities, who beneficially own approximately 16% of SoundThinking’s outstanding common stock and 17% of SoundThinking’s outstanding common stock, respectively. Pursuant to those agreements, these shareholders have agreed to, among other things, tender all of their shares in the tender offer. In addition, Gary M. Lauder and affiliated entities have agreed to invest and maintain an equity position in the go forward company and will retain their proportionate CVRs from their shares of SoundThinking’s outstanding common stock.

Subject to and upon completion of the transaction, SoundThinking’s shares will no longer trade on Nasdaq, and SoundThinking will become a privately held company.

• Engagement of a leading global contract research organization strengthens the analytical foundation supporting EL-22 and EL-32 as the programs advance toward an IND-enabling development framework
• Builds on NorthStrive Biosciences’ expanding manufacturing and characterization capabilities behind its engineered probiotic platform targeting muscle preservation, including for patients on GLP-1 weight loss treatments

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PMGC Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ELAB) (“PMGC” or the “Company”) today announced that its subsidiary, NorthStrive Biosciences Inc. (“NorthStrive Biosciences” or “NorthStrive”), has executed a Statement of Work (“SOW”) with Charles River Laboratories, Inc., NYSE: CRL (“Charles River” or “Charles River Laboratories”) to conduct analytical characterization supporting the development of NorthStrive Biosciences’ EL-22 and EL-32 engineered probiotic programs.

Under the SOW, Charles River will perform specialized analytical testing designed to characterize plasmid copy numbers in NorthStrive’s engineered bacterial product candidates. The work includes DNA isolation and preparation followed by gene copy-number analysis using specific nucleic-acid amplification and fluorescent-probe technology. Testing will be performed at Charles River’s U.S. Biologics Testing sites, generating quantitative data on the genetic constructs carried by each product candidate.

The program is intended to strengthen NorthStrive’s understanding and control of key product characteristics as EL-22 and EL-32 progress through development. Establishing reliable analytical methods for the genetic constructs carried by the engineered bacteria is an important component of building a reproducible manufacturing and characterization strategy for future clinical development. The data generated through this work will support product identity, manufacturing consistency, and comparability against previously manufactured material as EL-22 and EL-32 advance toward a more robust IND-enabling development framework.

Charles River Laboratories is a leading global provider of drug discovery, development and manufacturing support services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies worldwide.

Tara Lehner, Head of Development at NorthStrive Biosciences, added, “As engineered biologic products move forward in development, understanding what we are manufacturing becomes increasingly important. This work will give us quantitative analytical data around plasmid copy number and contribute to the broader characterization package we are building for EL-22 and EL-32. These are the kinds of foundational development activities that help turn an innovative platform into a reproducible and ultimately scalable pharmaceutical product.”

The work represents another step in NorthStrive’s broader effort to establish the analytical, manufacturing and development capabilities necessary to advance its engineered probiotic platform. The platform is being developed to address muscle health, including preserving muscle for patients on GLP-1 receptor agonists and other weight loss treatments, an area the Company believes represents a significant and growing market opportunity.

About EL-22 and EL-32

EL-22 and EL-32 are NorthStrive Biosciences’ investigational engineered probiotic product candidates being developed as part of the Company’s broader strategy to address muscle health and related conditions. The Company believes this approach may offer a differentiated method of biologic delivery with potential advantages in patient convenience, accessibility, and manufacturability across multiple disease areas.

About NorthStrive Biosciences Inc.

NorthStrive Biosciences Inc., a PMGC Holdings Inc. company, is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and acquisition of cutting-edge aesthetic medicines. NorthStrive’s lead asset, EL-22, leverages an engineered probiotic approach to address the issue of preserving muscle while on weight loss treatments, including GLP-1 receptor agonists.

The planned analytical work described in this press release has not yet been completed, and the Company cannot provide assurance that the planned study will be initiated or completed on the anticipated timeline, that it will generate the expected data, or that any results will support product identity, manufacturing consistency, comparability, or regulatory readiness.

• Zcash ETP: Valour launches an exchange traded product providing price exposure to Zcash (ZEC), expanding regulated access to one of the digital asset ecosystem’s longest-standing privacy-focused networks.
• Traditional Market Access to ZEC: The ETP enables investors to gain exposure to ZEC through traditional brokerage accounts without the operational complexity of directly purchasing or storing digital assets.
• Expanding Valour’s Digital Asset Platform: The launch further expands Valour’s portfolio of more than 100 digital asset ETPs and reinforces its strategy of providing regulated access to a broad range of established and emerging digital asset protocols.

TORONTO, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DeFi Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “DeFi Technologies”) (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B) (B3: DEFT31), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance (“DeFi”), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Valour Inc., and Valour Digital Securities Limited (together, “Valour“), a leading issuer of exchange traded products (“ETPs“) has launched the Valour Zcash (ZEC) SEK ETP.

The VALOUR ZCASH (ZEC) SEK ETP began trading on the Spotlight Stock Market on September 29, 2026, under the ISIN CH1108681763. The product provides investors with exposure to the price performance of Zcash (ZEC) through an exchange traded investment product accessible through traditional brokerage infrastructure.

The launch represents another expansion of Valour’s digital asset ETP platform and expands regulated European market access to an asset that has played an important role in the development of privacy-preserving blockchain technology.

About Zcash

Launched in 2016, Zcash is a decentralized digital currency and payment network designed to provide users with greater control over the privacy of their financial transactions.

Zcash was the first widespread application of zero-knowledge proof technology known as zk-SNARKs. Its shielded transaction architecture allows transactions to be validated by the network while protecting sensitive transaction information from public disclosure. Zcash supports both shielded transactions, which can protect transaction details, and transparent transactions that operate similarly to transactions on traditional public blockchains.

ZEC is the native digital asset of the Zcash network and is used to transfer value and pay transaction fees across the network.

The launch comes amid increased market attention toward privacy-preserving digital assets and expanding regulated investment access to ZEC across global capital markets.

“Zcash represents one of the most important early applications of zero-knowledge cryptography in digital assets, and interest in privacy-preserving blockchain infrastructure continues to grow,” said Johan Wattenström, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Technologies. “Launching a Zcash ETP is exactly the type of product innovation Valour was built to deliver. We are giving investors access to an established digital asset through the same regulated, familiar market infrastructure they use to access traditional securities, while continuing to expand the breadth and differentiation of our product platform.”

“Zcash gives users the ability to transact privately using zero-knowledge cryptography, and we have seen growing interest in ZEC from both professional and Nordic retail investors,” said Jacob Lindberg, Chief Revenue Officer of Valour. “The demand for a listed product tracking ZEC has been clear. Bringing Zcash to Spotlight gives investors a familiar way to gain exposure through their existing brokerage infrastructure without having to purchase, store or manage the underlying digital asset directly.”

The launch follows Valour’s continued expansion across European and international markets and builds on a portfolio of more than 100 digital asset ETPs spanning major digital assets, Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, decentralized finance protocols, staking products and other emerging blockchain ecosystems.

The VALOUR ZCASH (ZEC) SEK ETP carries a management fee of 1.9%.
