Sokoman Minerals Provides Update at Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland
The first sample is a conventional bulk sample on the Western Trend using drill and blast methods (see Plan Map 1 for proposed locations). The proposed sample will consist of approximately 1,000 cubic metres of mineralized rock consisting of both high-grade quartz veining plus lower-grade wall rock that detailed channel sampling in late 2024 indicated a weighted-average gold grade of 5.78 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au). The Company has contracted P&E Mining Consultants to provide a proposed pit shell (see Plan Map 2) with a cross-sectional view and drill pattern (pending) to facilitate the sample extraction.
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, states, "The time is drawing near for our first bulk sample and the pieces are coming together. This pivotal step will yield critical insights into the metallurgy and gold recoveries at Moosehead, marking a significant milestone in our project's development."
The Company is still in active discussions with several third parties with regards to the conventional sample processing and will provide an update when the location and operator has been chosen. In the meantime, the Company is also expecting a formal contract from Novamera Inc. with regards to the second (surgical) sample which is expected to be extracted from the Footwall Splay Zone in the fourth quarter of 2025. This will also be an approximately 1,000 cubic metre sample. Novamera is finalizing the hole locations, and 3-4 geotechnical holes will be drilled prior to setting up the large diameter drill.
Novamera Inc. has also informed the Company that the drill is in transit from Europe where it has been undergoing a refit and maintenance work. The rig will first be deployed to a property owned by Great Atlantic Resources, 50 km to the west of Moosehead, to collect a similar sized bulk sample prior to becoming available for Sokoman.

Accord Announces Amendment to its Banking Facility
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accord Financial Corp. (TSX – ACD) today announced it has amended its senior secured revolving credit facility (the 'Credit Facility'), extending the maturity date to December 15, 2025. This amendment follows two recent short-term extensions: the first announced on July 25, 2025, and the second on August 8, 2025, which extended the maturity date to August 15, 2025. Under the new terms, the total commitment will be reduced from $260 million to $200 million. The amendment also incorporates milestones tied to potential asset sales (with net proceeds to be used to repay bank indebtedness), increases the interest rate on drawn amounts by 1.00%, and updates certain financial covenants. 'While the amendment includes higher pricing and a reduced commitment, the extension provides time for the Company to continue to actively pursue a broad range of strategic initiatives to address the Company's maturing debt obligations (totalling $217.6 million as at June 30, 2025 and coming due by January 31, 2026) and maximize shareholder value,' said Mr. Hitzig. 'These include potential divestitures of portfolio assets or business units, as well as other financing alternatives. The Company continues to work closely with its financial advisors, but there is no assurance that these initiatives will yield a successful result. While we focus on these initiatives, profitable operating performance and growth will continue to be a challenge.' The Company does not plan to provide further updates on its strategic initiatives unless material developments emerge. A Material Change Report and the amended Credit Facility agreement will be filed on SEDAR+ at About Accord Financial Corp. Accord Financial is one of North America's most dynamic commercial finance companies providing fast, versatile financing solutions including asset-based lending, factoring, inventory finance, equipment finance (in Canada), trade finance and film/media finance.

CNFinance Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change
GUANGZHOU, China, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CNFinance Holdings Limited (the "Company") today announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American depositary shares ("ADSs") to its Class A ordinary shares (the "ADS Ratio"), par value US$0.0001 per share, from the current ratio of one (1) ADSs to twenty (20) Class A ordinary shares to a new ratio of one (1) ADS to two hundred (200) Class A ordinary shares. For the Company's ADS holders, the change in the ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-ten reverse ADS split. A post-effective amendment to the ADS Registration Statement on Form F-6 will be filed with the SEC to reflect the change in the ADS Ratio. The Company anticipates that the change in the ADS Ratio will be effective on or about September 5, 2025 (U.S. Eastern Time), subject to the effectiveness of the post-effective amendment to the ADS Registration Statement on Form F-6 on or before that date. Each ADS holder of record at the close of business on the date when the change in ADS Ratio is effective will be required to surrender and exchange every ten (10) existing ADSs then held for one (1) new ADS. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A as the depositary bank for the Company's ADS program, will arrange for the exchange of the current ADSs for the new ones. The Company's ADSs will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "CNF". No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses, where applicable) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank. The change in the ADS Ratio will have no impact on the Company's underlying Class A ordinary shares, and no Class A ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, the ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the change in the ADS Ratio will be equal to or greater than ten times the ADS trading price before the change.
