Taiwan blacklists China's Huawei and SMIC, further aligning with U.S. trade policy
Taiwan has added China's Huawei and SMIC to its trade blacklist in a move that further aligns it with U.S. trade policy and comes amid growing tensions with Beijing. The International Trade Administration of Taiwan added Huawei and SMIC to its "Strategic High-Tech Commodities Entity List," including a host of their subsidiaries. Taiwan's current regulations require licenses from regulators before domestic firms can ship products to parties named on the entity list. Huawei and SMIC, two of China's leading semiconductor companies, are also on a trade blacklist in the United States and have been impacted by Washington's sweeping controls on advanced chips. Companies such as contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co already follow U.S. export restrictions. However, the addition of Huawei and SMIC to the Taiwan blacklist is likely aimed at the reinforcement of this policy and a tightening of existing loopholes, Ray Wang, an independent semiconductor and tech analyst, told CNBC. He added that the new domestic export controls could also raise the punishment for any potential breaches in the future. TSMC had been embroiled in controversy in October last year when semiconductor research firm TechInsights found a TSMC-made chip in a Huawei AI training card. Following the discovery, the U.S. Commerce Department ordered TSMC to halt Chinese clients' access to chips used for AI services, according to a report from Reuters. TSMC could also reportedly face a $1 billion as penalty to settle a U.S. investigation into the matter. Huawei has been working to create viable alternatives to Nvidia's general processing units used for AI. However, experts say the company's advancement has been limited by export controls and a lack of scale and advancement in the domestic chip ecosystem. Still, Huawei had been able to acquire several million GPU dies from TSMC for its Ascend chip design by using previous loopholes before they were discovered, according to Paul Triolo, partner and senior vice president for China at advisory firm DGA-Albright Stonebridge Group. A die refers to a small piece of silicon material that serves as the foundation for building processors and contains the intricate circuitry and components necessary to perform computations. The Taiwanese government's crackdown on exports to SMIC and Huawei also comes amid tense geopolitical tensions with Mainland China, which regards the democratically governed island as its own territory to be reunited by force, if necessary. In April, the U.S. reaffirmed its commitment to support the existing status quo as China conducted large-scale military exercises off the coast of the island. In statements reported by state media on Sunday, China's top political adviser Wang Huning echoed Beijing's position, calling for the promotion of national reunification with Taiwan and for resolute opposition to Taiwan independence.

Completion of Tolmer High Grade Silver Zone Drilling
Planning Underway for Expedited Follow-up RC and Diamond Programs HIGHLIGHTS 2,882m reverse circulation (RC) drilling completed at Tolmer high-grade silver discovery; recent expansion from 13 to 21 holes based upon early drilling program observations[1]Program expanded in all directions with two additional lines to north and south ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 15, 2025 / Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to confirm that expanded RC drilling has completed at its recent 'Tolmer' high grade silver discovery, located at the Company's South Australian Tarcoola Gold Project (Tarcoola).1 A total of 2,882m RC drilling was completed across 21 completed holes to an average depth of 137m. Samples are planned to depart site during the coming week, with the first multi-element assay results expected toward the end of July. Figure 1 - Tolmer 'western silver' & 'eastern gold' zones showing expanded silver drilling program Commenting on the Tolmer drilling program, Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said: "We look forward to sharing the assay results for this latest round of Tolmer drilling. The western 'silver zone' is an exciting target, and we are already planning near-term follow up diamond and RC drilling programs. My thanks to the excellent Barton team, and our drilling partners, for the safe execution of this extended program." Program background Barton identified Tolmer as a high-grade gold discovery in August 2024, and subsequently identified a new 'silver zone' ~500m west in a line of seven discovery holes with globally significant assays including:[2] On 22 May Barton commenced a planned program of ~2,500m RC drilling which was designed to infill and extend both the western 'silver zone' and the eastern 'gold zone'.[3] Based upon further geological surface reconnaissance and early observations from drilling, it was decided to expand the 'silver zone' drilling program to gather a larger amount of data on this area with the remaining time available in this program.[4] Seven drill holes originally planned for the eastern 'gold zone' were re-allocated to eight new drill holes in the western 'silver zone', expanding the planned drilling from three to five lines of RC holes. The total Tolmer drilling program was expanded from a planned ~2,500m to a revised final total of 2,882m. Samples will shortly be despatched for expedited laboratory analysis, with the first multi-element assay results expected to be received toward the end of July. Barton has already commenced planning for follow up programs, including diamond drilling for structural orientation and further extensional RC drilling.

Taking A Look At ALS Limited's (ASX:ALQ) ROE
One of the best investments we can make is in our own knowledge and skill set. With that in mind, this article will work through how we can use Return On Equity (ROE) to better understand a business. To keep the lesson grounded in practicality, we'll use ROE to better understand ALS Limited (ASX:ALQ). Return on equity or ROE is an important factor to be considered by a shareholder because it tells them how effectively their capital is being reinvested. In other words, it is a profitability ratio which measures the rate of return on the capital provided by the company's shareholders. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Return on equity can be calculated by using the formula: Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity So, based on the above formula, the ROE for ALS is: 20% = AU$259m ÷ AU$1.3b (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). The 'return' is the income the business earned over the last year. That means that for every A$1 worth of shareholders' equity, the company generated A$0.20 in profit. View our latest analysis for ALS By comparing a company's ROE with its industry average, we can get a quick measure of how good it is. However, this method is only useful as a rough check, because companies do differ quite a bit within the same industry classification. If you look at the image below, you can see ALS has a similar ROE to the average in the Professional Services industry classification (20%). That's neither particularly good, nor bad. While at least the ROE is not lower than the industry, its still worth checking what role the company's debt plays as high debt levels relative to equity may also make the ROE appear high. If a company takes on too much debt, it is at higher risk of defaulting on interest payments. Virtually all companies need money to invest in the business, to grow profits. The cash for investment can come from prior year profits (retained earnings), issuing new shares, or borrowing. In the first two cases, the ROE will capture this use of capital to grow. In the latter case, the debt used for growth will improve returns, but won't affect the total equity. In this manner the use of debt will boost ROE, even though the core economics of the business stay the same. ALS does use a high amount of debt to increase returns. It has a debt to equity ratio of 1.31. While its ROE is pretty respectable, the amount of debt the company is carrying currently is not ideal. Investors should think carefully about how a company might perform if it was unable to borrow so easily, because credit markets do change over time. Return on equity is useful for comparing the quality of different businesses. A company that can achieve a high return on equity without debt could be considered a high quality business. All else being equal, a higher ROE is better. But when a business is high quality, the market often bids it up to a price that reflects this. The rate at which profits are likely to grow, relative to the expectations of profit growth reflected in the current price, must be considered, too. So I think it may be worth checking this free report on analyst forecasts for the company. But note: ALS may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with high ROE and low debt. Have feedback on this article? Concerned about the content? Get in touch with us directly.
