Local Partners and Customer Trust

“For me, bringing FREELANDER to the world means more than entering new markets. It means earning the trust of our customers, every day,” said Mao. She emphasised the importance of strong local partners and dependable service.

British Design and Intelligent Technology

The international five-seat FREELANDER 8 offers a two-row alternative to the six-seat layout. Phil Simmons, EVP of the FREELANDER Design Hub and a member of the original Freelander design team, discussed the connection between the vehicle’s British design heritage and its contemporary form.

Mao also introduced an AI Voice Assistant powered by a large language model and tailored for FREELANDER. It is designed to enable more natural conversations and a deeper understanding of the vehicle.

The partnerships connect the brand’s international ambitions with local dealer networks, making regional representation and customer service central to its Middle East development.

BEIJING, Nov. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — International media, content creators and dealer partners shared their impressions of FREELANDER 8 after a test drive programme at the 2026 Chery International User Summit, hosted by Chery Automobile (9973.HK) in Wuhu, which combined rain-soaked tracks, challenging obstacles and paved roads. FREELANDER is a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain Brand, jointly developed by JLR and Chery.

Driving in Changing Conditions

At Tuju Campground, participants drove through mud, S-bends, wavy roads, sand and gravel. The changing surfaces gave visitors a practical view of how the vehicle responds beyond a showroom setting.

“I think the driving experience is very good. The systems are working very well on the mud,” said a guest from Slovakia. A guest from Greece described the same course as feeling “like driving normally”.

Design and Driving Impressions

A guest from the Dominican Republic described the vehicle as “a combination of elegance, beauty and power for the off-road”, bringing design into a discussion otherwise centred on driving performance.

The i-ATS Intelligent All-Terrain System provides nine modes, including Smart Mode for changing surface conditions and Expert Mode for experienced drivers. The All-Terrain Dual Lock System supports traction, while dual-chamber air suspension allows additional ground clearance off road.

From Obstacles to Open Roads

The obstacle course included steep inclines, water crossings and cross-axle sections. A separate paved course allowed participants to assess acceleration, braking, handling and ride comfort.

Together, the sessions gave overseas visitors a shared basis for assessing the vehicle across different driving environments, with their feedback addressing both its all-terrain character and its suitability for everyday use.

BEIJING, Nov. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During the 2026 Chery International User Summit, hosted by Chery Automobile (9973.HK) in Wuhu, international guests tested FREELANDER 8 across mud, steep slopes and paved roads, offering first-hand feedback on the brand’s approach to combining all-terrain capability with everyday comfort. FREELANDER is a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain Brand, jointly developed by JLR and Chery.

Testing in Rain and Mud

The programme brought together driving experiences at Tuju Campground, an obstacle course and a paved test course. Rain added to the challenge, giving participants an opportunity to assess the vehicle on slippery surfaces as well as on the road.

On a steep descent, a guest from Spain said their heart was “still pounding a little bit”, before adding: “But I trust the car.” A guest from Egypt welcomed the wet conditions as a demanding test of the slope.

Comfort on the Road

On the paved course, a guest from the United Kingdom described FREELANDER 8 as “far more comfortable than I had expected.” A guest from Qatar said experiencing the car in person felt different from hearing about its capabilities.

The vehicle’s i-ATS Intelligent All-Terrain System offers nine terrain modes, while its All-Terrain Dual Lock System helps maintain traction. Dual-chamber air suspension with Continuously Controlled Damping supports ride comfort across changing surfaces.

Intelligent Parking

The programme also introduced SIVP, or Super Intelligent Valet Parking, for parking and vehicle recall through a smartphone app in supported scenarios. Availability is market-dependent and subject to system operating conditions; the driver remains responsible at all times.

The guests’ responses highlighted how confidence on difficult terrain and comfort on ordinary roads both shape perceptions of the brand.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB US: DMGGF) (FRANKFURT: 6AX) (“DMG”), a vertically integrated data center and digital assets technology company, today announced that the Company and its affiliates have not been affected by the recent Binance security incident and that all client assets remain secure.

DMG and its affiliates prioritize information security, fraud prevention and asset protection. The Company’s security framework combines restricted access, separation of duties and multiple levels of transaction approval. Together, these controls are designed to ensure that a single compromised device does not provide a user the authority needed to initiate, approve or complete an unauthorized transaction.

Building Enterprise Value Through Intellectual Property

Beyond ensuring robust security for digital assets, DMG continues to advance its proprietary infrastructure solutions. DMG has strategically developed a patent portfolio to differentiate itself from commoditized digital asset infrastructure providers and transition to an enterprise-grade blockchain technology provider. By systematically securing intellectual property across institutional compliance, network verification and proprietary transaction routing, DMG directly supports the enablement of institutional blockchain adoption.

For shareholders, this comprehensive IP portfolio establishes a defensible competitive position for DMG’s digital asset platform and helps position DMG to capture specialized transaction processing revenues across global blockchain ecosystems. Accelerating this strategy, DMG was granted two foundational U.S. patents in 2026:

U.S. Patent No. 12,548,012: Custom Mempool Protocol Associated with Processing of Cryptographic Events (Granted: February 10, 2026)

This patent establishes a proprietary custom mempool protocol that secures and accelerates how cryptographic events and ordinals are routed, batched and confirmed on-chain. Rather than exposing unconfirmed transactions to public peer-to-peer networks, the technology creates a direct pipeline between applications and participating mining nodes, while maintaining full compliance with public blockchain consensus algorithms.

“Securing U.S. Patent 12,548,012 validates the groundbreaking architecture that DMG developed to bring institutional-grade predictability to blockchain networks,” stated Sheldon Bennett, CEO of DMG. “By bypassing public node congestion and routing transactions through a controlled mempool pipeline, our approach sets a new benchmark for how enterprises can securely transact with complete confidence and compliance.”

U.S. Patent No. 12,744,684: Multiple Ordinals in One Transmission (Granted: September 22, 2026)

DMG’s newest patent modernizes how digital assets and data are inscribed onto the blockchain. By embedding multiple ordinals directly into transaction data fields and hashing them simultaneously into each block, the system significantly increases batch-processing efficiency, lowers transaction overhead and enables seamless on-chain storage without network congestion.

Issued Patent Portfolio Overview

DMG’s global intellectual property holdings currently include 9 issued patents, 2 allowed applications and 13 pending applications across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and WIPO:

Future changes in the Bitcoin network-wide mining difficulty rate or Bitcoin hashrate may materially affect the future performance of DMG’s production of bitcoin, and future operating results could also be materially affected by the price of bitcoin and an increase in hashrate mining difficulty.
