LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- David M. Herzog, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney in California and Washington, joined global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP as a Litigation Practice shareholder in the firm's Los Angeles office.

Herzog will focus his practice on complex commercial litigation, products liability and mass torts, class action defense, appeals, and trial work. He also will advise clients on government-related investigations, compliance, and government enforcement matters, drawing on his deep experience navigating federal prosecutorial priorities and overseeing litigation strategy.

"Dave is a seasoned trial and appellate lawyer whose career reflects a rare combination of leadership, courtroom experience, and strategic judgment," Greenberg Traurig Chief Executive Officer Brian L. Duffy said. "As companies continue to face increasingly sophisticated disputes and regulatory challenges, Dave's ability to manage sophisticated matters from investigation through trial and appeal will be an enormous asset to our clients and our firm."

Herzog previously served for more than 18 years with the U.S. Attorney's Offices in Los Angeles and Spokane, Washington, where he held numerous leadership roles, including Chief of Appeals, Deputy Criminal Chief, and Deputy Chief of the Violent and Organized Crimes Section. Throughout his public service career, he oversaw complex investigations, tried numerous federal cases, and briefed and argued dozens of matters before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He led investigations involving international and domestic human trafficking, organized crime, and other multijurisdictional matters where his work required coordinating large legal teams, managing troves of evidentiary records, and handling cases involving significant legal and factual complexity. Those skills translate directly to the demands of modern civil litigation, where clients increasingly face sprawling discovery, multidistrict proceedings, and high-stakes disputes.

"Dave's experience managing labyrinthine cases, leading legal teams, trying cases, and successfully handling matters on appeal aligns perfectly with the needs of our clients and our litigation platform," Los Angeles Co-Managing Shareholders Gregory A. Fishman and Barbara A. Jones said in a joint statement. "With a strong pipeline of matters heading toward trial and arbitration, Dave's experience building and defending cases at every stage will immediately strengthen our bench in Los Angeles and across the firm. He can leverage nearly two decades of federal litigation experience on behalf of corporate clients navigating high-stakes litigation and regulatory challenges."

"I am excited to join Greenberg Traurig and reconnect with excellent lawyers I have known and respected throughout my career," said Herzog, who previously worked with Daniell K. Newman in private practice, and with Thomas P. O'Brien and Ivy A. Wang at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles. "The firm embodies outstanding talent and a collaborative culture supported by an incredible platform. For nearly two decades as a federal prosecutor, I developed case-management, trial, and appellate skills that I can now draw on to help clients navigate the challenges of litigation from the beginning of disputes to the very end."

Herzog earned his J.D., cum laude, from the Georgetown University Law Center; an M.Phil. from the University of Glasgow; and a B.A., summa cum laude, from Loyola Marymount University. He is admitted to practice law in California.

PERTH, Australia, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lindian Resources Limited ("Lindian" or the "Company") (ASX: LIN) is pleased to announce that it has executed a Technology and Engineering Services Agreement and a long-term binding Offtake Agreement, for the development of an Oxide Separation Facility with Carester SAS ("Carester").

Carester is a leading global rare earth processing and separation specialist. Together with Tetra Tech Coffey ("Tetra Tech"), Carester will advance a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for a new 8,000 tonne per annum REO nameplate capacity solvent extraction and oxide separation facility ("SX Facility") at Stepnogorsk, Kazakhstan, targeted for completion in Q4 2026.

Lindian and Carester have also executed a long-term Offtake Agreement for up to 20 years (10 years and 5 + 5-year extension option) for both a Mixed Heavy Rare Earths compound ("SEGH") and right of first refusal ("RoFR") for Mixed Heavy Rare Earths Carbonate ("MHREC"). Heavy rare earths product will be supplied to the Caremag Refinery in Lacq, France, which has secured significant French and Japanese government funding.

The Caremag Refinery is a JV development between the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security ("JOGMEC"), Iwatani Corporation ("Iwatani") and Carester. MHREC will be supplied from Lindian's MREC Processing Facility in Kazakhstan ("CLP" or "MREC Facility" or "Hydrometallurgical Plant"). SEGH product will be produced alongside separated Neodymium ("Nd"), Praseodymium ("Pr") oxides.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- 8,000tpa REO SX facility: DFS underway with Carester and Tetra Tech for a large-scale solvent extraction and oxide separation facility at Stepnogorsk, Kazakhstan, DFS completion by end of 2026[1].

- Binding long-term offtake agreement for 70% SEGH volumes (plus MHREC RoFR):  initial 10-year term with two further five-year extension options. Carester to purchase 70% of SEGH production  and RoFR over 70% of MHREC production from SARECO.

- Higher payabilities with MHREC and SEGH: pricing linked to the Carester Realised Price and tied to any government floor price (France/Europe, US or Japan) provided for Magnet Rare Earth Oxides ("MREO") and yttrium ("Y") produced at the Caremag Facility.

- High-value, divergent market prices: Western forecasts for Dy, Tb and Y at US$541/kg, US$1,988/kg, US$383/kg[2] respectively compared to current AMI spot (US$249/kg, US$1,127/kg and ~US$30/kg).[3]

- Multiple higher-value revenue streams: Lindian's integrated platform provides exposure to Monazite Concentrate, MREC, SEGH and separated MREOs, including high-value NdPr, dysprosium ("Dy"), terbium ("Tb") and yttrium ("Y").

- Mine-to-Oxide vertical integration: creates a pathway from premium Kangankunde Monazite Concentrate through SARECO hydrometallurgical processing into magnet-quality NdPr oxide and SEGH Carbonate.

- Strong Kazakhstan Government support: the 8,000tpa REO separation project has been recognised as strategically important to Kazakhstan's downstream rare earth ambitions, with the Ministry of Industry and Construction committing its support for development.

- Potentially attractive competitive cost base: the Stepnogorsk industrial complex provides existing power, gas, water, rail, reagent infrastructure, skilled labour and local sulphuric acid supply, providing significant potential brownfield capital and operating cost advantages. Two warehouses totaling ~15,500m² and additional buildings, structures and land parcels secured as part of SARECO transaction.

- SX Facility will be funded internally: cash flows from Kangankunde and SARECO operations (first production Q4 2026) together with FYE closing cash at bank and undrawn Nico facilities of A$125m[4] .

- Scalable multi-feed processing hub: the SX Facility is designed to receive SARECO Product Liquor Solution ("PLS") and compatible third-party MREC, while Lindian continues to evaluate multiple additional Kazakhstan rare earth feed sources. SX Facility ~1.5x SARECO facility for potential expansion and third party feedstock.

- Strong demand from end users for SARECO MHREC, SEGH and REOs from SX Facility: demand from additional strategic parties, OEMs and rare earth permanent magnet manufacturers.

The proposed SX Facility represents the next major step in Lindian's downstream strategy and is being designed to produce magnet-quality NdPr oxide and SEGH Carbonate, extending Lindian's participation beyond concentrate and mixed carbonate production into separated, higher-value magnet rare earth products.

Lindian is also actively evaluating multiple additional rare earth feed sources within Kazakhstan to support increased utilisation and future expansion of SARECO and the proposed 8,000tpa REO SX Facility.

INVESTOR BRIEFING WEBCAST:

Lindian will host an investor webcast and briefing on Thursday, 3 September 2026 at 2:00pm Sydney time, where Executive Chairman, Robert Martin and Directors, Zac Komur and Teck Lim will present an overview of the Carester strategic partnership for 8,000tpa REO SX Facility, DFS, long-term supply agreement, and Lindian's mine-to-oxide rare earth strategy. The briefing will be webcast and accessible online at:

https://ccmediaframe.com/?id=a5KJfZ0G

Lindian's Executive Chairman, Robert Martin, commented: "The agreement with Carester represents another significant step in Lindian's strategy to move further downstream to expand our markets and to capture more of the value from the rare earths that we produce. Following our acquisition of 100% of the SARECO MREC facility, we now have an established processing platform from which we can produce mixed rare earth concentrate and mixed rare earth carbonates as we move towards the realisation of producing separated oxides.

"Carester brings both world-class separation expertise and a long-term route to market for our heavy rare earth production. Its Caremag facility is backed by €216 million of French and Japanese funding and is targeting approximately 15% of global dysprosium and terbium oxide production, demonstrating the strategic importance of the supply chain that we are building.

"We have stage 1 of Kangankunde on track for commissioning in November this year, our SARECO preventative maintenance programs are now under way for full commissioning in October this year, Kangankunde stage 2 DFS and the DFS for the oxide facility both also due in December this year which in turn is positioning Lindian to be one of the few truly vertically integrated mine to separated oxides producers globally".

Carester's President, Frédéric Carencotte, commented:

"This strategic partnership marks another step in Carester's strong commitment to supporting the development of a secure and sustainable diversified rare earth industry. Lindian's established SARECO processing platform in Kazakhstan, combined with our separation technology will provide a long-term MHREC and SEGH feedstock security for our French plant and demonstrates how close industrial cooperation can reinforce the critical raw materials value chain. The Aktau and HREE feedstock processed at SARECO will provide critical feed for production of DyTb oxides for high-performance permanent magnets".

Statement from Ministry of Industry and Construction, Kazakhstan:

"Lindian's Rare Earth Oxides Separation Project represents an important next stage in the development of rare earth production in Kazakhstan, creating additional value within the country by combining Carester's specialist rare earth separation expertise with Kazakhstan's established hydrometallurgical capabilities.

The project has the potential to establish an important position for Kazakhstan in the global rare earth supply chain, connecting resources, processing capabilities and markets across the globe.

The Rare Earth Oxides Separation Project will also bring Kazakhstan closer to its ambition of becoming a significant producer of permanent magnet materials, which are increasingly critical to artificial intelligence, robotics, e-mobility and renewable energy.

Given the strategic significance of the project, the Ministry of Industry and Construction will provide the necessary support in Kazakhstan to facilitate its successful development."

Lindian's Executive Chairman, Robert Martin, commented: "The agreement with Carester represents another significant step in Lindian's strategy to move further downstream to expand our markets and to capture more of the value from the rare earths that we produce. Following our acquisition of 100% of the SARECO MREC facility, we now have an established processing platform from which we can produce mixed rare earth concentrate and mixed rare earth carbonates as we move towards the realisation of producing separated oxides.

"Carester brings both world-class separation expertise and a long-term route to market for our heavy rare earth production. Its Caremag facility is backed by €216 million of French and Japanese funding and is targeting approximately 15% of global dysprosium and terbium oxide production, demonstrating the strategic importance of the supply chain that we are building.

"We have stage 1 of Kangankunde on track for commissioning in November this year, our SARECO preventative maintenance programs are now under way for full commissioning in October this year, Kangankunde stage 2 DFS and the DFS for the oxide facility both also due in December this year which in turn is positioning Lindian to be one of the few truly vertically integrated mine to separated oxides producers globally".

Carester's President, Frédéric Carencotte, commented:

"This strategic partnership marks another step in Carester's strong commitment to supporting the development of a secure and sustainable diversified rare earth industry. Lindian's established SARECO processing platform in Kazakhstan, combined with our separation technology will provide a long-term MHREC and SEGH feedstock security for our French plant and demonstrates how close industrial cooperation can reinforce the critical raw materials value chain. The Aktau and HREE feedstock processed at SARECO will provide critical feed for production of DyTb oxides for high-performance permanent magnets".

Statement from Ministry of Industry and Construction, Kazakhstan:

"Lindian's Rare Earth Oxides Separation Project represents an important next stage in the development of rare earth production in Kazakhstan, creating additional value within the country by combining Carester's specialist rare earth separation expertise with Kazakhstan's established hydrometallurgical capabilities.

The project has the potential to establish an important position for Kazakhstan in the global rare earth supply chain, connecting resources, processing capabilities and markets across the globe.

The Rare Earth Oxides Separation Project will also bring Kazakhstan closer to its ambition of becoming a significant producer of permanent magnet materials, which are increasingly critical to artificial intelligence, robotics, e-mobility and renewable energy.

Given the strategic significance of the project, the Ministry of Industry and Construction will provide the necessary support in Kazakhstan to facilitate its successful development."

Das neue Flaggschiff von iRobot kombiniert die firmeneigene SealForce™-Saugtechnologie mit einem beheizten Dual-Action-Wischsystem und sorgt so für ultimative Reinigungsergebnisse auf Profi-Niveau

- Der Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot + AutoWash™ Dock bietet die umfassendste Reinigungslösung von iRobot ohne manuelles Eingreifen und kombiniert die aktive SealForce™-Saugtechnologie mit einem tornadoartigen Luftstrom von 20 l/s und einer fünffach höheren Saugkraft1 sowie die Ultraschall-ThermaMist™ -Warmnebel-Wischfunktion mit dem branchenweit größten Walzenmopp und der patentierten DriLift™-Technologie mit selbsthebender Walzenabdeckung.

BEDFORD, Massachusetts, 3. September 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp., Hersteller des Roomba und ein führendes Unternehmen im Bereich der Verbraucherrobotik und intelligenten Bodenpflege, stellte heute den Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot + AutoWash™ Dock vor, seinen bislang fortschrittlichsten Roomba®-Roboter. Der Roboter bringt neue und fortschrittliche Technologien auf den Markt, allen voran die firmeneigene aktive SealForce™-Saugtechnologie von iRobot, die neu definiert, wie ein Staubsaugerroboter Luftstrom und Saugkraft bündelt, um Teppiche gründlicher zu reinigen.

Der Roomba® Max 875 Combo-Robot bietet die bislang beste Bodenreinigungsleistung des Unternehmens und bringt mehr als 35 Jahre Erfahrung in der Robotertechnik in genau die Bereiche der Bodenpflege ein, auf die Verbraucher heute besonderen Wert legen: Gründliche Teppichreinigung, Entfernung von eingetrockneten Verschmutzungen und Schutz der Teppiche beim Wischen.

Im Vordergrund dieser Entwicklungen steht die von iRobot entwickelte SealForce™-Saugtechnologie, die mechanisch neu definiert, wie ein Staubsaugerroboter mit dem Teppichboden in Kontakt kommt. Anstatt sich allein auf die Saugkraft zu verlassen, senkt das Gehäuse eine Dichtlippe ab, die dicht an den Teppichfasern anliegt und so die Saugkraft genau dort bündelt, wo sich Schmutz verbirgt. In Kombination mit einem tornadoartigen Luftstrom von 20 l/s und einer Saugkraft von 35 000 Pa sorgt SealForce™ für eine dreimal gründlichere Teppichreinigung2 sowie für die bislang beste Schmutzaufnahmeleistung von iRobot.

„Mit dem Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot haben wir nicht nur die Gesamtsaugleistung erhöht, sondern auch verändert, wie diese Saugkraft auf den Teppichboden angewendet wird", sagte Adam Pope, Bereichsleiter und Chefingenieur bei iRobot. „Mit SealForce™ können wir das Gehäuse gegenüber den Teppichfasern abdichten, sodass der Luftstrom, der den größten Einfluss auf die Schmutzaufnahmeleistung hat, gezielt dorthin geleitet wird, wo er benötigt wird, anstatt an den Rändern zu entweichen. Eine stärkere Saugkraft hilft zwar, aber erst die Abdichtung hebt die Leistung auf ein Niveau, das bisher nicht möglich war."

Der Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot überträgt denselben verbraucherorientierten Entwicklungsansatz, bei dem konkrete Probleme im Mittelpunkt stehen, auch auf das Wischen. Die Ultraschall-ThermaMist™-Technologie von iRobot versprüht während des Wischens kontinuierlich erwärmten Nebel, der eingetrocknete Verschmutzungen aufweicht und löst, sodass hartnäckige Flecken in einem einzigen Reinigungsdurchgang ohne manuelles Schrubben entfernt werden und eine doppelt so gute Fleckenentfernung3 erzielt wird. Der neue, sich kontinuierlich selbstreinigende PowerSpin™ Max Roller Mop von iRobot, der branchenweit größte seiner Art, schrubbt anschließend mit erwärmtem Wasser bei einer Walzendrehzahl von 300 U/min und einem Anpressdruck von 18 Newton und sorgt so für eine 3,75-mal gründlichere Reinigung4 sowie eine 1,2-mal größere Abdeckung pro Durchgang5.

Schließlich verfügt der Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot über die von iRobot patentierte, KI-gestützte DriLift™-Technologie, die Teppichböden automatisch erkennt, den Walzenmopp anhebt und eine Schutzabdeckung absenkt, um Teppiche und Teppichböden während der gesamten Reinigung trocken zu halten.

„iRobot hat vor mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten Pionierarbeit in dieser Produktkategorie geleistet, und auch nach mehr als 50 Millionen verkauften Robotern gestalten wir weiterhin deren Zukunft", sagte Jennifer Lichtenheim, Bereichsleiterin auf Seniorebene und Geschäftsführerin für Nord- und Südamerika bei iRobot. „Mit dem Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot haben wir unseren bislang fortschrittlichsten Roboter auf den Markt gebracht, der für ultimative Sauberkeit sorgt, und zwar ganz ohne manuelles Eingreifen. Und besonders wichtig ist, dass wir zentrale Probleme angegangen sind, deren Lösung Verbraucher von uns erwarten. Wir treiben die Entwicklung der Haushaltsrobotik weiter voran, damit die Menschen weniger Zeit mit Putzen verbringen und mehr Zeit für das haben, was ihnen Spaß macht."

The K-Royal Culture Festival is Korea's flagship national heritage festival, presenting a wide range of programs across Seoul's royal palaces and Jongmyo Shrine, including performances, exhibitions, hands-on experiences and historical reenactments. The spring editions of the festival in 2026 attracted about 725,000 visitors, setting a new record. This fall's festival will offer a distinctive experience from the spring edition, with an expanded lineup of nighttime viewing, guided tour and hands-on programs designed to make the most of autumn of the royal palaces. During the day, visitors can enjoy exhibitions, tours and experience programs that invite them to explore the spaces and history of the palaces in greater depth. At night, the focus shifts to performances and immersive experiences set against the palaces standing in harmony with natural scenery.

Gargle Expands Dental SEO Strategy to Help Dental Practices Get Found in AI Search

Integrated AEO and GEO strategies help dental practices remain visible as patients increasingly turn to AI tools and voice assistants for answers.

LEHI, Utah, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gargle, Inc., a dental marketing agency, has expanded its SEO offering to include Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), helping dental practices improve their visibility across traditional search engines, AI-powered platforms, and voice search.

Patients are no longer relying exclusively on traditional Google searches to find a dentist or learn about treatment options. They are also asking detailed questions through AI search tools and voice assistants. Gargle's enhanced SEO strategy is designed to help dental practices appear wherever those conversations begin.

"Search behavior is changing quickly," said Jeff Richins, President of Gargle. "Patients are turning to AI tools and voice search for recommendations and answers. We want to ensure our clients are visible wherever potential patients are searching."

Helping Dental Practices Become the Answer

Traditional SEO helps practices rank for relevant keywords. AEO and GEO build on that foundation by structuring website content so search engines and AI platforms can more easily understand, reference, and present it in response to patient questions.

This allows dental practices to provide helpful information earlier in the patient journey, including answers about symptoms, procedures, costs, recovery, and available treatment options.

"We don't just want a practice to appear in a list of search results," said Richins. "We want it to be recognized as a trusted and relevant answer when a patient is actively looking for care."

Optimizing for High-Intent Patient Searches

Gargle's approach focuses on the questions patients ask when they are considering treatment or choosing a dental provider. By creating clear, useful, and locally relevant content, practices can improve their visibility during the moments most likely to influence a patient's decision.

The strategy is designed to support visibility across:

- Traditional Google search results

- Google AI-powered search experiences

- Featured snippets and answer boxes

- Voice assistants

- Generative AI search platforms

- Local and map-based searches

Built Into Gargle's Existing SEO Offering

AEO and GEO are integrated directly into Gargle's SEO product. Existing clients do not need to purchase separate software, manage another vendor, or add another layer to their marketing strategy.

"There are no extra tools or added complexity," said Richins. "We've incorporated these strategies into the SEO work we already provide, giving our clients greater value while preparing them for the future of search."

By expanding beyond traditional rankings, Gargle is helping dental practices build a stronger digital presence and remain competitive as online discovery continues to evolve.

About Gargle, Inc.

Gargle is a full-service dental marketing agency offering customized solutions including websites, SEO, paid search, social media, digital advertising, reputation management, and marketing performance reporting. Gargle helps dental practices improve their visibility, understand their marketing results, and connect with more prospective patients through personalized strategies and human-first support.
