Board previously adopted committee charters written to Nasdaq listing standards, strengthening oversight of financial reporting, executive pay and board quality as the Company pursues its Nasdaq application

RENO, Nev., Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Globaltech Corporation (OTCQB: GLTK) (“Globaltech” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based technology platform company enabling growth in AI, data and frontier technologies, today confirmed the composition of its three standing Board committees – the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee – and the adoption of a charter for each committee.

The charters and committee appointments were approved by unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors effective January 7, 2026, together with the Company’s Code of Ethics and Clawback Policy. The charters are written according to the independence and composition standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Each committee is comprised of directors the Board has determined to be independent in accordance with Nasdaq’s rules which generally require that they are not part of the Company’s management and have no financial relationship with the Company beyond their role as directors.

The Board is chaired by James A. Gibbons, who served as the 28th Governor of Nevada from 2007 to 2011 and before that represented Nevada for five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. An attorney by training, Governor Gibbons is also a former U.S. Air Force and Nevada Air National Guard pilot.

Committee membership

  • Audit Committee: Mehdi Al Abduwani (Chair), James A. Gibbons, and David J. Fox. The Board has designated Mehdi Al Abduwani as the Committee’s audit committee financial expert.
  • Compensation Committee: Charles J. Bartolotta (Chair), Mehdi Al Abduwani, and Shahid A. Khan.
  • Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: James A. Gibbons (Chair), David J. Fox, and Shahid A. Khan.

What each committee does

The Audit Committee oversees the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. It hires and supervises the independent auditor, reviews every quarterly and annual report before it is filed, monitors internal controls, approves any transaction between the Company and an insider, and maintains a confidential channel for employees to report concerns. It also oversees the Company’s cybersecurity and data-privacy risks.

The Compensation Committee establishes the pay of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and recommends director compensation to the Board. It ties executive pay to performance, administers the Company’s equity plans, and oversees the Company’s clawback policy, under which certain incentive pay can be recovered if financial results are later restated. No executive takes part in decisions about his or her own pay.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee decides who is nominated to serve on the Board. It sets the criteria for directors, leads the search for candidates, evaluates the performance of sitting directors each year, and keeps the Company’s governance guidelines current. Shareholders may recommend director candidates in writing to the Company Secretary.

What this means for our shareholders

In plain terms, the people who oversee the preparation of the Company’s financials, set executive pay and choose directors are now overseen by independent directors who have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders. This is the structure investors expect of a company listed on a national exchange, considered best practices and is typically required for a Nasdaq listing.

“A company earns the trust of the market one structure at a time,” said Dan Green, Chief Executive Officer of Globaltech. “Independent committees overseeing financial reporting, executive pay and board composition are the foundation of that trust. We have put them in place ahead of our planned move to a national exchange, because our shareholders should not have to wait for a listing to get that level of oversight.”

“Good governance is not a box to check. It is how a board earns the right to be trusted with other people’s money,” said James A. Gibbons, Chairman of the Board. “These committees put independent directors in charge of the questions shareholders care about most. Mehdi, Charles and I take those responsibilities seriously.”

Globaltech’s common stock was approved for quotation on the OTCQB Venture Market on March 26, 2026, and the Company completed a 1-for-3 reverse stock split on August 27, 2026.

The Company has applied to list its common stock shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which application is currently under review. Any listing remains subject to Nasdaq’s review, satisfaction of all applicable initial listing standards and other customary conditions, as well as Nasdaq’s discretionary approval to uplist, and there can be no assurance regarding the timing or completion of the up listing.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cambria Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: CAMB; OTCQX: CAMVF) (“Cambria” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a status update of ongoing construction, development, permitting, Feasibility Study preparation and infill drilling progress from the Premier Gold Project (“PGP” or the “Premier Project”) and Red Mountain Gold Project (“Red Mountain”), located near Stewart in northwestern British Columbia, as well as additions to its engineering and operational team. The Company is targeting commissioning of the 2,500 tonne per day mill at PGP in Q4 of 2027 with continued ramp up through 2028. Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that over CA$45.9 million has been received through the exercise of outstanding warrants.

“Cambria continues to advance operational permitting, infill drilling, engineering and construction activities at PGP and Red Mountain, de-risking critical components to facilitate mining and processing in late 2027. Sufficient mineralization is accessible at PGP to commence mining, which would be subsequently augmented by Red Mountain once construction is complete,” said Robert McLeod, President and CEO of Cambria Gold Mines. “The Red Mountain Access Road construction is advancing very well and we are pushing to achieve access to Bromley Humps by the end of 2026.”

“As we complete additional development and prepare for operation readiness, our ability to attract exceptional engineers, such as: Ali Farah, Carla Romero, Brandon Chambers and Dinesh Devathasan, is driven by the quality of our gold projects and by our positive, supportive and determined team,” said Gord Doerksen, VP Projects of Cambria Gold Mines. “Our construction team has made strong headway in all facets, and our new engineering strength will set us up well for continued project development in 2027, with particular emphasis on planning and engineering, as well as water management and treatment and PGP.”

Red Mountain Access Road

The final Permit for the Red Mountain access road, a Fisheries Act Authorization (FAA), was received on September 21, 2026, allowing for in-stream construction work to be performed in Bitter Creek, rebuilding sections of a previous road that was washed away during a storm event in 2013.   With the FFA in hand, Cambria’s construction team and road building contractor are advancing the road expeditiously and safely toward our goal of reaching the Bromley Humps area near the base of Red Mountain, roughly 12 km from Highway 37A.

The alpine portion of the road to access the Red Mountain deposit is anticipated to be built during the 2027 construction season. The Company’s objective is to truck mill feed material to the mill at PGP, a distance of approximately 50 km, through the communities of Stewart and Hyder.

Additionally, the Company is studying bulk material transport options: an aerial tramline or rope conveyor from the Red Mountain Deposit to the Bitter Creek valley, which would be installed after the road is completed, likely following the first year of operations. These aerial conveyance systems have historically been used extensively in the region and modern systems have proven very successful globally.

Resource Modelling and Infill Drilling

To inform the updated Feasibility Study, the Company has built a comprehensive geological and assay database, remodelling the geology and mineralized zones of the PGP deposits with the purpose of informing an updated Mineral Resource and Reserve Estimate. The current Resource and Reserve Estimate, last updated in 2021, was modelled using grade shells rather than following geological units. Starting from first principles, Cambria’s geological team has been remodelling the major and peripheral deposits at PGP, integrating both new and historical data from over 100 years of mining history from multiple epithermal deposits.

Both the Big Missouri and Silver Coin Deposits, previously mined by Cominco and Westmin/Tenajon Resources were wide breccia and vein stockwork structures mined using longhole underground techniques. Cambria has modelled these structures as well as post mineral faults and dykes with the objective of outlining bulk mineable areas; infill drilling has been ongoing at both areas to increase confidence in grade and structure. Emphasis has been on the Silver Coin deposit, which has higher grades than Big Missouri, can be mined using productive longhole mining methods, and will be the primary focus for the restart along with the high-grade Premier deposit.

At the Premier Deposit, extensive infill drilling work on 12.5 metre spacing targeting high-grades within the Prew and 602 Zones has been prioritized. Once underground development has recommenced in Q4 2026, additional underground drilling will be completed to continue defining Measured Resources that could potentially convert to Proven Reserves and be accessed in the early years of the operation. This material would be blended with wide and continuous mineralization from Silver Coin and Big Missouri while the Red Mountain Deposit is developed.

Feasibility Study Update

Cambria continues to advance an updated Red Mountain-PGP Feasibility Study to capture the value of the combined project, with targeted completion in H1 2027. SLR Advisors, a global mining consultancy, has been engaged to be the primary author with support from QPs from other specialists in their respective fields.

As discussed in recent releases, the Feasibility Study work is informed by an extensive infill drilling program at PGP to provide robust resource confidence, as well as new metallurgical testing, mine plan optimization, and processing plant modifications to treat mineralized material from both projects. No additional infill drilling has been required at the Red Mountain Deposit.

Water Treatment Plant

At PGP, the priority work on the site has been water management and the water treatment plant. Since construction in 2024, the Water Treatment Plant (“WTP”) continually struggled with discharge compliance for zinc. Through a series of focused initiatives, expedited with urgency, the Company is advancing closer to compliance with results improving in the past two months. Extensive efforts have fixed many of the WTP’s operational problems, including taking over control of plant operations with in-house personnel (previously managed and operated by a contractor), engaging specialized water treatment consultants for guidance and activating better process controls. Cambria’s team completed extensive upgrades and additions to pumps, valves, pipes and various equipment that were in various stages of neglect. The Company also updated a water balance to better understand the entire water system and how best to manage and treat contact water.

Mining

Cambria is currently upgrading underground infrastructure at Premier-Northern Lights with brow support, power upgrades, a ventilation bulkhead, water management sumps and secondary egress. These improvements will be complete by the end of 2026 and will allow us to begin additional development for stope access for mining and additional platforms for further infill drilling.  Underground work will be completed using Cambria’s newly purchased and commissioned fleet of mining equipment including LHDs, a twin-boom face jumbo, scissor deck and service vehicles. Additionally, underground development at the Silver Coin deposit will take place in the spring of 2027 to create development for operations. Accessing Silver Coin will be from the recently constructed underground workings at the Big Missouri deposit, 700 metres north of Silver Coin or from a new portal location closer to the mineralized zones, based on permitting considerations. Cambria’s remodelling of the Big Missouri Deposit has also identified the potential for several small open pit, that will be further evaluated as part of the Feasibility Study.

2026 geotechnical drilling at new Silver Coin and Red Mountain portal locations will assist in detailed portal design. All deposits benefit from previous underground development accelerating our development plan and reducing anticipated restart capital costs.

Premier Mill Upgrades

Detailed planning and budgeting of the Premier processing plant upgrades are underway with engineering, procurement and installation work. The mill operated as recently as 2025 and is in excellent condition. Based on past operating knowledge, the program includes some additional optimizations. These critical improvements include the installations of a new primary jaw crusher and feeder. The crusher building, covered crushed material stockpile and conveyor system, dating to the 1990’s operations are in excellent condition, with just the mechanical and electrical components required. Additional immediate upgrades will include converting an unused clarifier to a pre-leach thickener. Prior to introduction of material from Red Mountain, a fine grinding mill and second detox tank will be added. All required mill upgrades for restarting with Premier material will be completed in 2027.

Additions to Cambria’s Operating Team

To plan and execute on the Company’s re-start preparations, Cambria is pleased to announce the expansion of our project team with the addition of four exceptional people to the engineering team.

Ali Farah, P.Eng., a highly experienced Mechanical Engineer and Manager with over 35 years of experience, has joined Cambria as Director of Engineering responsible for all engineering activities for the Project.

Permitting

The Company achieved a significant permitting milestone in 2026 with the receipt of all permits required for construction of the Red Mountain access road. In parallel, Cambria is advancing engineering and environmental programs to support submission of the proposed haul road permit application. Baseline environmental studies were also conducted throughout 2026 at both the Premier and Red Mountain projects to validate and supplement existing environmental baseline information, while supporting ongoing project planning and future permitting requirements.

Looking ahead, the Company’s permitting efforts will focus on advancing the major mine authorizations required for the construction and operation of both the Premier and Red Mountain projects. At Red Mountain, ongoing engineering, environmental, and technical studies are also supporting an amendment to the existing Environmental Assessment Certificate to reflect the current project design and development plan. The Company continues to work collaboratively with regulatory agencies, Indigenous interests, and local stakeholders to advance these permitting processes.

Phased Production Model with Staggered Rearing Schedules Keeps Operations Running Continuously, Positioning Kraig Labs to Meet Future Commercial Demand

Kraig Labs Production Team rearing BAM-1 parental strains

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“the Company”, “Kraig Labs”, or “Kraig’s”), a world leader in spider silk technology*, today announced that its September/October production cycle is well underway, with all three production centers running. Early reports indicate the Company is on track for another successful rearing cycle.

The announcement comes just days after Kraig Labs fulfilled its first purchase order from the performance sportswear segment, shipping custom recombinant spider silk yarn to a globally recognized brand. That delivery marked the Company’s transition from production milestones to commercial deliveries. This last cycle is further evidence of the production engine behind that milestone. Kraig Labs has built a reliable production platform capable of sustaining commercial-scale levels of spider silk to the market.

“Our team in Vietnam is executing well, and the early indicators for this cycle are encouraging,” said Kim Thompson, Founder and CEO of Kraig Labs. “All three centers are up and running on schedule. That matters now, more than ever. We are no longer producing to demonstrate and confirm scale. Production is now focused on addressing the commercial market opportunities for spider silk.”

Kraig Labs uses genetically engineered silkworms to produce silk containing key spider silk proteins. A “rearing cycle” involves raising a batch of silkworms from hatching through cocoon formation. The current cycle focuses on the Company’s parental strains, which are the breeding lines used to produce hybrid silkworm eggs. Silkworms hatched from those eggs subsequently produce the silk cocoons that are processed into yarn.

“Running three centers on phased schedules isn’t just about volume,” Thompson continued. “It’s about building an operation that is resilient at high volume. One center can be in early rearing while another is deep into production and a third is preparing for harvest. That overlap gives us continuous output and real redundancy. If one center faces a disruption, the other two keep moving.”

Kraig Labs’ three production centers each run their own rearing cycle on a staggered schedule, so the facilities are at different stages of development at any given time. This approach maintains a steady supply of hybrid eggs for subsequent silk production while reducing reliance on any single facility.

That redundancy has taken on added significance following the Company’s last production run. Kraig Labs grew silk production by more than 30% through the rainy season, historically one of the most difficult stretches of the year. Management believes the phased model was a key factor behind that result. This system continues to elevate Kraig’s operations with a growing supply line of spider silk available to address opportunities for additional commercial orders.

Thompson concluded, “A continuous, redundant production model is what positions Kraig Labs to move quickly when new opportunities arise. Three centers, three schedules, one continuous operation, prepared for the opportunities ahead.”

The Company’s leadership in biomaterials was recently spotlighted on the cover of the March 2026 issue of National Geographic, highlighting the growing importance and predominance of our work in scaling spider silk production.

ATH434 50 mg significantly slowed functional decline in MSA by approximately 52% versus placebo on the 11-item UMSARS at Week 52 with CSF NfL as a covariate 

Baseline CSF NfL predicted the rate of functional decline, supporting its use as a severity covariate in Phase 3

MELBOURNE, Australia and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alterity Therapeutics (ASX: ATH, NASDAQ: ATHE) (“Alterity” or “the Company”), a biotechnology company dedicated to developing disease modifying treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced that additional analyses from its randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled ATH434-201 Phase 2 trial in Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) were presented at the 2026 International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders (MDS Congress) in Seoul, Korea. The poster brings together clinical, biomarker, and imaging results from the trial after adjusting for baseline disease severity, measured by cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light chain (CSF NfL).

“These additional analyses strengthen our confidence in ATH434 as a potential disease-modifying therapy for MSA. When we account for differences in baseline disease severity using CSF NfL, ATH434 50 mg significantly slowed functional decline by more than 50% compared with placebo over one year, a treatment effect well above the threshold considered clinically meaningful,” said David Stamler, M.D., CEO.

“I continue to be impressed by the strength of the efficacy signal in our Phase 2 study in the context of other treatments that are in development for MSA. By incorporating the learnings regarding NfL into our Phase 3 confirmatory trial, we continue to build on our de-risking strategy that has been so successful in Phase 2,” concluded Dr. Stamler.

The poster, entitled, “ATH434 in Multiple System Atrophy: Results from a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 2 Study with CSF Neurofilament Light Chain as a Disease Severity Covariate,” analyzed baseline CSF NfL, an established prognostic biomarker of clinical decline in MSA, as a covariate to account for variability in baseline disease severity.

The analysis demonstrated that CSF NfL, a prespecified covariate in the Phase 2 trial, predicts functional decline in individuals with MSA. Higher baseline CSF NfL predicted greater decline at Week 52: each 1,000 pg/mL increase was associated with approximately 0.9 additional points of worsening on UMSARS I1, an effect that was significant (p=0.033). This supports using CSF NfL as a covariate in future MSA trials since adjusting for a known predictor of decline can produce a more precise measurement of treatment effect.

ATH434 50 mg significantly slowed functional decline on the 11-item UMSARS Part I

The analysis utilized a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM)2 applied to align with the imaging analyses conducted on the Modified Intent-to-treat (mITT) population (N=61)3. After adjustment for baseline CSF NFL, ATH434 50 mg significantly slowed functional decline on the 11-item UMSARS Part I4 at Week 52 with a −4.64-point difference versus placebo in change from baseline (p=0.032), roughly 3-fold more improvement compared to the 1.5-point minimal clinically important difference (MCID). This represents an approximate 52% slowing of functional decline in the 50 mg dose group relative to placebo. The 75 mg dose also slowed functional decline with a −2.81-point difference versus placebo in change from baseline at Week 26 (p=0.072) and Week 52 (p=0.179). These results are consistent with the previously reported analysis of the 11-item UMSARS Part I in the Phase 2 clinical analysis population, in which ATH434 50 mg slowed decline by 46% versus placebo (p=0.037). The difference between the two figures reflects the distinct analysis populations and statistical models.

Advanced brain iron MRI imaging is consistent with the ATH434 mechanism of action as an iron-chaperone

The poster also reported brain iron measured by quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) MRI analyzed with the same CSF NfL-adjusted model. ATH434 is designed as an iron chaperone and is intended to redistribute reactive (labile) iron that is driving MSA pathology. MRI can detect iron leaving cells but cannot measure iron that has been stored or buffered within cells. Although the trial’s primary endpoint of change in substantia nigra iron at Week 52 was not met, change from baseline in iron was numerically lower in the putamen and globus pallidus with ATH434 vs placebo. In the dentate nucleus, iron signal increased relative to placebo at Week 52 (50 mg: +0.016 ppm, p=0.021), which is hypothesized to reflect redistribution of mobilized iron through the brain’s glymphatic system. The poster noted that regional differences may reflect region-specific iron handling because an MRI captures iron efflux but not the potential storage or buffering effects of ATH434.

The presentation is available on the Alterity Therapeutics website here.

About ATH434-201 Phase 2 Clinical Trial 

The ATH434-201 Phase 2 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation of 12 months treatment with ATH434 in patients with MSA. The study evaluated the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ATH434 as well as the effect of ATH434 on neuroimaging and protein biomarkers. Wearable sensors were employed to evaluate motor activities outside of the clinic. The study enrolled 77 adults who were randomly assigned to receive ATH434 50 mg or 75 mg twice daily or matching placebo. The data showed that, compared to placebo, ATH434 50 mg produced clinically and statistically significant slowing of decline on the 11-item Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) Part I, a functional rating scale that assesses disability on activities of daily living affected in MSA. Additional efficacy assessments demonstrated improvement consistent with the positive UMSARS Part I findings including trends in improved motor performance on the Clinical Global Impression of Severity Scale, the Swallowing Disturbance Questionnaire and the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment. Wearable sensor data indicated that ATH434 also led to increased activity in an outpatient setting. Biomarkers were used to evaluate potential drug effect and target engagement relative to placebo. Both dose levels reduced iron accumulation in MSA affected brain regions with trends in preservation of brain volume. ATH434 was well tolerated with similar adverse event rates compared to placebo and no serious adverse events attributed to ATH434. Additional information on the Phase 2 trial can be found by ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05109091.

About Multiple System Atrophy

Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a rare, neurodegenerative disease characterized by failure of the autonomic nervous system and impaired movement. The symptoms reflect the progressive loss of function and death of different types of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It is a rapidly progressive disease and causes profound disability. MSA is a Parkinsonian disorder characterized by a variable combination of slowed movement and/or rigidity, autonomic instability that affects involuntary functions such as blood pressure maintenance and bladder control, and impaired balance and/or coordination that predisposes to falls. A pathological hallmark of MSA is the accumulation of the protein α-synuclein within glia, the support cells of the central nervous system, and neuron loss in multiple brain regions. MSA affects up to 50,000 individuals in the U.S., and while some of the symptoms of MSA can be treated with medications, currently there are no drugs that are able to slow disease progression and there is no cure.4
