CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This news release contains forward-looking information or forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words and phrases such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or that describe a "goal", or variations of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.

All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to, statements with respect to future exploration efforts at Ogama-Rockland, the ongoing development work to advance the project towards a potential production decision and the timing thereof, as well as the Company's objectives, goals and future plans and strategies, are forward-looking statements.

While 1911 Gold has not made a production decision, should 1911 Gold make such a decision in the future without a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, there may be increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that 1911 Gold will make a production decision, and, if it does, there is no guarantee that any production will begin as anticipated or at all or that any anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to make a positive decision to commence production would have a material adverse impact on 1911 Gold's ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations. Failure to achieve any anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on 1911 Gold's cash flow and future profitability.

All forward-looking statements reflect the Company's beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the statements were made. Actual results or events may differ from those predicted in these forward-looking statements. All of the Company's forward-looking statements are qualified by the assumptions that are stated or inherent in such forward-looking statements, including the assumptions listed below. Although the Company believes that these assumptions are reasonable, this list is not exhaustive of factors that may affect any of the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, predictions, projections, forecasts, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Although 1911 Gold has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

In addition, readers are directed to review the detailed risk discussion in the Company's Annual Management's Discussion & Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed on SEDAR+, which discussions are incorporated by reference in this news release, for a fuller understanding of the risks and uncertainties that affect the Company's business and operations.

All forward-looking statements contained in this news release are given as of the date hereof. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Vancouver, BC, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verdera Energy Corp. (TSXV: V) (OTCQB: VUECF) ("Verdera" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated September 2, 2026, the Company has completed the sale of a 100% interest in the Treeline Uranium Project located in Cibola and McKinley Counties, New Mexico (the "Treeline Project") to Americas Uranium Corp. (CSE: NUCA) (OTCQB: ASRFF) (FSE: WA7) ("Americas Uranium") (the "Transaction"), pursuant to the previously announced Mineral Property Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Transaction closed on September 24, 2026 (the "Closing Date").

Transaction Highlights

- US$100,000 in cash received on closing;

- 701,754 common shares of Americas Uranium received on closing at a deemed price of C$0.285 per share (C$200,000), subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the Closing Date;

- A further C$1,800,000 in Americas Uranium common shares issuable to Verdera in staged tranches over the 36 months following the Closing Date, for total share consideration of C$2,000,000;

Janet Lee-Sheriff, Chief Executive Officer of Verdera, commented:

"Closing the Treeline sale shows the value embedded in our New Mexico database beyond our core properties. We have turned a non-core exploration asset into cash, an equity position in an active explorer and a retained royalty, which keeps Verdera shareholders exposed to any success at Treeline at no further cost to the Company. It also allows our team and our capital to stay focused on advancing our four large-scale ISR uranium properties."

Manpower Outsourcing Revenue Increased 62.4% to US$15.6 Million; Integrated Facility Management Revenue Increased 11.1% to US$16.1 Million

Net Loss Narrowed 13.8% Year Over Year

Working Capital Improved to US$11.9 Million from a Deficit of US$1.7 Million at Year-End 2025; Total Liabilities Reduced 39%

SINGAPORE, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- YYForce Inc. (Nasdaq: YFOR) ("YYForce" or the "Company," formerly YY Group Holding Limited (Nasdaq: YYGH)), an AI-enabled workforce management platform and integrated facility management (IFM) provider operating across Asia and beyond, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

YYForce reported first-half 2026 revenue of approximately US$32.7 million, an increase of 26.8% from US$25.8 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The Company views the continued expansion of its workforce and IFM businesses as the operating foundation for its "YYForce 2030 Vision," a long-term strategy to build an integrated workforce ecosystem connecting human workers, artificial intelligence ("AI"), humanoid robots and specialized service robotics.

First Half 2026 Highlights

- Revenue increased 26.8% year over year to US$32.66 million from US$25.75 million.

- Manpower outsourcing revenue increased 62.4% year over year to US$15.55 million.

- IFM revenue increased 11.1% year over year to US$16.06 million.

- Gross profit was US$3.30 million and gross profit margin was 10.1%, compared with US$4.27 million and 16.6%, respectively, in the prior-year period, with the decrease primarily attributable to higher labor costs.

- Operating loss narrowed 32.2% year over year to US$5.21 million from US$7.68 million, primarily reflecting the absence of a US$4.06 million impairment loss on intangible asset recognized in the prior-year period.

- Operating loss as a percentage of revenue improved to 15.9% from 29.8% in the prior-year period.

- Net loss narrowed 13.8% year over year to US$7.06 million from US$8.20 million.

- Non-IFRS operating loss was approximately US$2.74 million and non-IFRS loss was approximately US$3.29 million.

- Cash was approximately US$3.08 million as of June 30, 2026.

- Total equity increased to approximately US$25.36 million from US$13.61 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting US$18.55 million in proceeds from the Company's At-The-Market equity offering.

- Total liabilities decreased to approximately US$12.66 million from US$20.73 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting the settlement of trade and other payables and the reduction of warrant liabilities.

First Half 2026 Operational Highlights:

Management Commentary

Mike Fu, CEO of YYForce, commented: "We delivered year-over-year revenue growth of 26.8% in the first half of 2026, led by a 62.4% increase in manpower outsourcing revenue and continued expansion of our IFM operations. Beyond scaling our existing service businesses, we are laying the foundation for building a future workforce environment in which people, artificial intelligence, smart facilities, automation and robotics can increasingly work together. We are piloting service robots and plan to deploy our first agentic AI workflows and launch an AI training data lab — early steps toward operations where every task is carried out by the person or technology best suited to perform it. Meanwhile, our growing workforce and IFM operations provide the customer relationships, workforce infrastructure, facilities and real operating environments we need to validate and commercialize these technologies. As we move toward 2030, we expect YYForce to evolve from a labor-intensive service provider toward an integrated workforce service provider ready for the future, focusing on margin improvement, operating efficiency and disciplined capital allocation to create value for our stakeholders."

Jason Phua, CFO of YYForce, added, "This period's revenue growth came with margin pressure. Hourly wages for casual workers rose faster than our billing rates. As a result, our gross profit margin narrowed to 10.1% from 16.6%. We are addressing this directly: repricing contracts as they come up for renewal, renegotiating or exiting engagements that no longer cover their cost, tightening scheduling to reduce unbilled hours, and evaluating technology-enabled, digital and automation solutions to improve productivity. We also improved our capital structure and working capital position, ending the half with working capital of US$11.9 million compared with a deficit at the end of 2025, and reducing total liabilities by 39%. Restoring gross profit margin is our priority for the second half of 2026, and we will report our progress with our full-year results."

First Half 2026 Financial Results

Total Revenue was US$32.7 million in the first half of 2026, up 26.8% from US$25.8 million in the same period of 2025.

- Revenue from manpower outsourcing increased 62.4% to US$15.55 million from US$9.58 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to stronger customer demand in Singapore and Malaysia and contributions from our Hong Kong and Thailand subsidiaries.

- Revenue from IFM increased 11.1% to US$16.06 million from US$14.46 million in the same period of 2025. Growth was supported by new contract wins, renewals of existing projects and full-period contributions from subsidiaries acquired in 2025, including Property Facility Services Pte. Ltd. and Uniforce Security Services Pte. Ltd.

Gross profit was approximately US$3.30 million, compared with US$4.27 million for the first half of 2025. Gross profit margin was approximately 10.1%, compared with 16.6% in the prior-year period. The decrease was principally attributable to higher labor costs across the Company's IFM and manpower outsourcing businesses, including higher hourly wage rates for casual workers.

Operating loss decreased 32.2% to approximately US$5.21 million, compared with US$7.68 million in the corresponding period in 2025, primarily reflecting the absence of the US$4.06 million impairment loss on intangible asset recognized in the first half of 2025. Operating loss as a percentage of revenue improved to approximately 15.9%, compared with 29.8% for the corresponding period in 2025.

Net loss decreased 13.8% to approximately US$7.06 million, compared with US$8.20 million in the prior-year period. Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share was US$13.62, compared with US$311.00 in the first half of 2025. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 50-for-1 and 30-for-1 reverse share splits effected on March 23, 2026 and June 23, 2026, respectively. First-half 2026 results also included a US$2.62 million net loss related to convertible notes and a US$1.73 million net gain related to warrant liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately US$10.99 million for the first half of 2026, compared with US$0.63 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the operating loss and the settlement of trade and other payables.

During the first half of 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately US$16.29 million. Financing inflows included approximately US$18.55 million from the issuance of Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Company's At-The-Market equity offering and proceeds from other financing activities.

YYForce intends to maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation as it balances working-capital requirements, existing operations and investments supporting future growth.

YYForce 2030 Vision and Capital Allocation Strategy

On September 22, 2026, YYForce announced its 2030 Vision, its long-term roadmap for building a Future Workforce Solutions model integrating human workforce capabilities, AI-enabled workforce management, smart facility management technologies, automation and robotics. The plan builds on the Company's existing businesses: YY Circle and Yolara AI applications for on-demand staffing and workforce solutions, humanoid and specialized service robotics offered through leasing and Robotics-as-a-Service ("RaaS") arrangements, and smart facility management solutions through its 24iFM platform, IoT devices, sensors, smart cameras and automation technologies. Yolara AI is intended to support deployment planning, workflow integration, human-team coordination and ongoing operational support across these solutions. These AI, automation and robotics initiatives did not contribute materially to revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

YYForce's first capital allocation priority is maintaining sufficient liquidity for its existing operations, working capital needs and contractual obligations. Subject to these requirements, the Company may evaluate investments across workforce and smart facility management technology, software development, operational automation, commercial robotics, data infrastructure, geographic expansion, strategic partnerships and acquisitions. The Company expects to use partnerships, leasing arrangements and customer pilot programs to limit upfront capital commitments, and will evaluate each investment based on customer demand, technology readiness and expected returns.

FY2026 Guidance

In light of labor cost pressures in the first half of 2026, the Company is withdrawing the fiscal year 2026 outlook it issued on March 12, 2026. The Company expects to provide an updated outlook with its full-year 2026 results. Investors should no longer rely on the previously announced projections as representing the Company's current expectations.

INLIF LIMITED Reports First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

QUANZHOU, China, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- INLIF LIMITED (Nasdaq: INLF) (together with all its subsidiaries and consolidated entities, the "Company" or "INLIF"), a company engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of injection molding machine-dedicated manipulator arms, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026 ended June 30, 2026.

Mr. Rongjun Xu, Chief Executive Officer of INLIF, remarked, "We are pleased to present our financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026, which reflect continued growth in both revenue and gross profit compared with the same period in fiscal year 2025. We have also reported net income of approximately $1.01 million in the current period, compared with a net loss of approximately $1.98 million in the same prior period in 2025, an improvement of approximately $3.0 million.

This growth was driven by the expansion of our customer base, rising demand for manipulator arms, and, in particular, sales from our newly launched intelligent equipment business, which generated $3.36 million in revenue and accounted for 25.97% of total revenue during the period, compared with no revenue contribution in the same period last year.

With net revenue increasing by 26.01%, our gross profit grew by 158.77%, while gross profit margin increased from 17.50% to 35.95%. These results reflect the progress of our strategy to expand into the new energy and intelligent equipment sectors and further diversify our business.

To sustain this growth momentum and expand our long-term growth potential, we continued to increase our investments in sales and research and development ('R&D'), with related expenses increasing by 50.21% and 49.18% year over year, respectively. To support sales growth, we increased performance-based compensation incentives for our sales personnel and expanded spending on sales activities. At the same time, our R&D team more than doubled in size, from 31 to 72 employees, and we continued to invest in the development of industrial robots. While the industrial robots remain in the R&D and product validation stages, we believe they represent an important area of future development for the Company.

Alongside increased investments in sales, technology, and new product development, we maintained disciplined cost management across the organization. As a result, general and administrative expenses decreased by 34.42%, primarily reflecting the absence of one-time share-based compensation granted to three key administrative employees in the prior-year period. This reduction underscores our continued focus on maintaining operating efficiency while selectively investing in areas that support long-term growth.

During the period, we also completed a PIPE offering and established an At-the-Market program to help support our operational and expansion needs. We believe these additional capital resources provide a solid foundation to support our business development for the foreseeable future. Moving forward, we will focus on strengthening our technological innovation and organic growth capabilities in an efficient and disciplined manner, while continuing to expand and consolidate our new business initiatives."

First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Highlights

First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

Net Revenue

Net revenue was $12.94 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 26.01% from $10.27 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in sales of manipulator arms, including installation and warranty services, by approximately $0.60 million, mainly due to higher purchase volumes from certain existing customers and contributions from newly acquired customers; (ii) an increase in sales of accessories by approximately $0.01 million, which remained relatively stable compared with the prior-year period; and (iii) sales of intelligent equipment of approximately $3.36 million, primarily used in the new energy sector, driven by customers' needs for new production lines, capacity expansion and automation upgrades. These increases were partially offset by (iv) a decrease in sales of raw materials and scraps of approximately $1.27 million, primarily due to the Company's adoption of a more demand-driven procurement approach, lower customer demand for certain raw materials, and enhanced production and inventory controls that reduced the volume of scraps generated; and (v) a decrease in installation service revenue of approximately $0.03 million, primarily due to lower installation volumes, shorter installation time for certain products, and an increasing number of customers performing installation using their own personnel or requiring only limited technical assistance from the Company.

- Sales of manipulator arms and installation and warranty services were $4.97 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 13.74% from $4.37 million for the same period of last year.

- Sales of accessories were $0.40 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 3.04% from $0.39 million for the same period of last year.

- Sales of raw materials and scraps were $4.20 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared to $5.47 million for the same period of last year.

- Sales of installation services were $6,528 for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared to $41,523 for the same period of last year.

- Sales of intelligent equipment were $3.36 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared to nil for the same period of last year.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue was $8.29 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing a decrease of 2.16% from $8.47 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a significant reduction in the cost of raw materials sold, partially offset by costs associated with the Company's newly developed intelligent equipment business and higher costs of accessories.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit was $4.65 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 158.77% from $1.80 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to (i) an increase in gross profit from sales of manipulator arms, including installation and warranty services, by approximately $0.46 million; (ii) an increase in gross profit from sales of raw materials and scraps by approximately $1.99 million; (iii) an increase in gross profit from sales of intelligent equipment by approximately $0.64 million; and (iv) offset by a decrease in gross profit from sales of accessories and installation services by approximately $0.21 million and $0.03 million, respectively.

Gross profit margin increased to 35.95% for the first half of fiscal year 2026, from 17.50% for the same period of last year.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $3.53 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing a decrease of 8.73% from $3.87 million for the same period of last year.

- Selling expenses were $0.62 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 50.21% from $0.41 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to (i) an increase of approximately $0.10 million in salaries and benefits, primarily due to higher performance-based compensation for sales personnel as the Company's revenue increased; (ii) an increase of approximately $0.02 million in business entertainment expenses, mainly due to increased customer visits and related business development activities; (iii) an increase of approximately $0.03 million in traveling expenses, primarily due to more frequent business trips by the Company's sales personnel to support the expansion of the Company's sales activities; and (iv) an increase of approximately $0.06 million in transportation expenses, mainly due to higher customer-related transportation costs associated with the increase in sales.

- General and administrative expenses were $1.76 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing a decrease of 34.42% from $2.68 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease of approximately $1.63 million in share-based compensation expenses, primarily because equity incentives were granted to three key administrative employees during the first half of 2025, while no comparable grants were made during the first half of 2026.

- Research and development expenses were $1.15 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 49.18% from $0.77 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the expansion of the Company's research and development team, with headcount increasing from 31 in June 2025 to 72 in June 2026, resulting in higher personnel costs. The Company also continued to invest in the development of industrial robots, which remained in the research, development and product validation stage during the period.

The article explains how fit, materials, technology, convenience, and individual clinical needs influence the choice between two established crown options.

WILLMAR, Minn., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Are same-day crowns as good as traditional crowns?

HelloNation has published an article that provides the answer, featuring insights from Dental Expert Dr. Scott Martinka of Lakes Area Dental in Willmar, MN.

The HelloNation article explains that both same-day crowns and traditional crowns can provide functional restorations when properly designed and fitted. A dental crown can restore a weakened or damaged tooth, but the appropriate approach depends on several clinical considerations rather than treatment time alone.

Same-day restorations rely on digital dental technology. The dentist can use digital scanning to capture detailed information about the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. That information is then used to design a restoration that can often be produced with in-office milling equipment.

The article explains that traditional crowns follow a different process. Information about the prepared tooth and surrounding bite is sent to a dental laboratory, where a technician creates the restoration. Because fabrication takes additional time, patients may receive a temporary crown before returning for placement of the permanent restoration.

Neither approach is automatically better for every patient. The quality of a dental crown depends on accurate design, proper fit, suitable materials, bite relationships, and the condition of the tooth. These considerations apply whether the restoration is created in the dental office or by a dental laboratory.

Dental crown materials are another important part of the comparison. Different options can vary in strength, appearance, wear characteristics, and their interaction with nearby teeth. The available dental crown materials may also differ between in-office systems and laboratory fabrication methods.

The condition and location of a damaged tooth can influence material selection. Front teeth may have different appearance requirements than back teeth exposed to stronger chewing forces. The amount of remaining tooth structure and the patient's bite are additional factors a dentist can consider.

Fit is also important for either restoration method. The crown needs to fit the prepared tooth accurately, make appropriate contact with neighboring teeth, and function properly with the patient's bite. Digital scanning can provide detailed information for designing the restoration while eliminating the need for some conventional impression materials.

The HelloNation article notes that convenience is one of the clearest differences between the two approaches. In many cases, same-day crowns can reduce the number of appointments and eliminate the need for a temporary restoration. This can be helpful for patients who find multiple dental visits difficult to schedule.

Convenience, however, should be considered alongside clinical needs. Some cases may benefit from customization, materials, or fabrication methods available through laboratory production. A dentist can evaluate whether completing treatment in one appointment meets the functional and appearance requirements of the specific tooth.

Traditional crowns remain an established option because laboratories can use different materials and fabrication methods. Laboratory customization may also be valuable when a restoration has particular cosmetic or functional requirements. The best-suited process depends on the individual clinical situation rather than the production method by itself.

The article concludes that patients should consider more than speed when comparing their options for a damaged tooth. Both approaches can provide an appropriate restoration when design, fit, material selection, bite, and remaining tooth structure are carefully considered.

Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.

The class action concerns whether Innventure and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.

You have until October 27, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class if you purchased or otherwise acquired Innventure securities during the Class Period. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com.

On November 17, 2025, Innventure announced that Accelsius Holdings LLC ("Accelsius"), Innventure's primary subsidiary, had entered into an agreement with DarkNX, an alleged global digital infrastructure company, under which DarkNX would deploy Accelsius's NeuCool technology across a new 300MW AI data center campus in Ontario, Canada, in "the largest two-phase, direct-to-chip deployment to date, signaling a major shift toward large-scale industry adoption of next-generation cooling." The first phase was to include two facilities at 65MW, with deployments scheduled for 2026 and 2027.

On May 28, 2026, before the market opened, Morpheus Research published a report alleging that Innventure's DarkNX venture to build an AI data center campus in Ontario was a fabrication. The report asserted that there was "zero evidence this project exists or that DarkNX has the team or funding to even contemplate such a project." Morpheus Research further reported that "[a]ccording to a former Innventure executive, management was using 'false information' and revenue projections that were 'pure fiction' to solicit investments into Accelsius." The report quoted multiple former Accelsius employees, who stated, among other things, "we've never heard of the company [DarkNX], they don't have customers, there's no data center. This isn't like another known entity … So there's just a lot of obvious, missing pieces."

On this news, Innventure's stock price fell $0.54 per share, or 8.42%, to close at $5.87 per share on May 28, 2026.

Then, on August 13, 2026, Innventure reported second quarter 2026 results. Among other items, Innventure disclosed a net loss of $34.9 million, compared to $27.8 million in the first quarter of 2026, and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $22.6 million, compared to $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2026. The Company also announced it is "suspending [its] previously communicated expectations regarding Accelsius' 2026 revenue and cash flow targets and shifting [its] focus."

On this news, Innventure's stock price fell $1.98 per share, or 55.1%, to close at $1.62 per share on August 14, 2026.

On or around January 29, 2026, York completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 18.5 million shares priced at $34.00. Then, on May 11, 2026, Wolfpack Research published a short report entitled "YSS: Lost In Space – The Pentagon Just Killed 96% of York's Revenue". The Wolfpack report alleges that the Pentagon's decision to eliminate its Space Development Agency ("SDA") Tranche 3 Transport Layer—a program responsible for the majority of York's annual revenue—"was rooted in severe disappointment in York." Citing discussions with "multiple former employees who were highly critical of York," Wolfpack alleges that it "heard claims that York deceived the SDA with false advertising to win its contracts, cut corners, and delivered satellites whose mission-critical-software was not completed."
