HONG KONG, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Modern Dental Group Limited ("Modern Dental" or "the Group", stock code: 03600.HK), a leading global dental prosthetic devices provider, announced its operational data for the three months ended 31 March 2026.During the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s multi-dimensional strategies as supported by the ongoing trend of digitalization in the dental industry have resulted in the Group reporting record revenue during this period. This occurred in a period of challenging macro-economic environment with general softness in demand for dental procedures, trade war and geopolitical uncertainties. The Group has been proactive in its approach to deal with the unprecedented international trade environment leveraging its international production facilities located in Thailand, Vietnam and Mainland China.Global RevenueFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total revenue of the Group increased by approximately 12.1% (approx. HK$987.5 million) compared with the three months ended 31 March 2025.^ The decrease in revenue in original currency of the North America market (ex-MicroDental) was approximately 2.3% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of MicroDental was approximately 14.6%.# The increase in revenue in original currency of the Mainland China market was approximately 1.5% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of Hong Kong market was approximately 3.7%.++ The percentage change in Others represented changes in value of Hong Kong Dollars as Others included revenue dominated in different currencies.* The revenue information above is based on the locations of the customers.** The conversion rate shall not be taken as a representation that respective original currency could actually be converted into HK$ at that rate, or at all.The increase in revenue in Europe was primarily driven by higher sales order volumes, supported by the successful launch of new products such as digital dentures and the rollout of our state-of-the-art digital workflows. As a frontrunner in providing comprehensive digital solutions — ranging from minimally invasive and aesthetic prosthetic solutions to intra-oral scanners and clear aligners — the Group is well positioned to capitalize on the accelerated digitalization trend within the dental industry.Revenue from MicroDental, our North American domestic dental laboratory business, declined due to the softer US economy, which led to reduced patient demand for high-value discretionary dental treatments, particularly implants. The Group’s revenue in the Mainland China market recorded 1.5% increase in original currency terms during the first quarter of 2026, representing a turnaround from the decline of 4.2% in 2025. The decrease in revenue in the Hong Kong market also narrowed to 3.7%, as compared to the decline of 11.5% in 2025.The Mainland China market appears to have reached the bottom of the impact from the volume-based procurement policies and a prolonged period of intense price competition. This has also led to aggressive promotions for dental implant treatments by Mainland China dental clinics in Hong Kong, which experienced a notable decrease in patient visits. The Hong Kong market is gradually moving towards stabilization in line with this trend. The Group has deliberately pivoted away from low-margin segments and remains focused on serving mid- and high-value customers, thereby ensuring the long-term sustainable profitability of the Group’s business.The increase in revenue from Australia reflected a strong uptake of digital products driven by the digitalization trend in dental industry and anti-snoring products.The increase in revenue in Others mainly represented the increase in revenue in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.Notably, positive revenue growths were achieved in higher-margin regions such as Europe and Australia, whereas revenue declined in the relatively lower-margin business of MicroDental. This favorable geographical mix shift and the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars are expected to improve the Group’s overall margin percentage.Sales Volumes (Number of Cases)For the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total sales volumes of the Group increased by approximately 4.0% to approximately 720,000 cases (three months ended 31 March 2025: approximately 692,000 cases).Digital Solution CasesFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s digital solution cases (overseas and domestic) that are produced from its Mainland China, Thailand and Vietnam production facilities (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include digital solution cases produced in the Group’s non-Mainland China, non-Thailand and non-Vietnam production facilities or overseas/satellite dental laboratories) increased to approximately 294,712 cases reflecting an increase of 24.6% for the same period in 2025 (approximately 236,488 cases) as a result of our clients’ increased adoption of intra-oral scanners.Average Selling PriceFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the average selling price of the Group’s dental prosthetic products across its markets was HK$1,273 per case (three months ended 31 March 2025: HK$1,188), representing an increase of approximately 7.2% mainly due to the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars.Looking forward, the global digitalization trend continues to drive consolidation within the dental prosthetics industry, enabling the Group to further expand its market share. Our ongoing digital transformation initiatives are enhancing both customer and patientexperiences while improving operational efficiency, further differentiating the Group from competitors and positioning us to outperform industry peers. The Group’s underlying fundamentals remain solid, and we are well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities going forward.About Modern Dental GroupModern Dental Group Limited (Stock code: 03600.HK) is a leading global dental prosthetics provider, distributor and consultant with a focus on providing custom-made prostheses to customers in the growing prosthetics industry.

NEW YORK, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Confimarket, backed and incubated by WebWise Capital, is pioneering confidential consensus discovery and information-aggregation infrastructure for institutional participants requiring strict privacy, robust market structures, and advanced financial workflows. Built on the Canton Network, the privacy-preserving market intelligence platform secured first place at the inaugural HackCanton Season 1 grand final, emerging victorious from a competitive global pool of more than 300 development teams across 15 countries.Confimarket, a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network, has won first place at HackCanton Season 1 after advancing through a competitive field of more than 300 builders from over 15 countries.The project was selected as the first-place winner following the grand final of HackCanton Season 1, an ecosystem hackathon organized by AppsFactory and focused on DeFi, RWA, DAO & Governance, and AI applications for Canton Network.Confimarket is being developed as a prediction market for serious capital and demanding participants. Its core thesis is that prediction markets become materially more valuable when users can participate without exposing sensitive strategy, intent, or positioning to the broader market.Prediction markets have already shown their ability to aggregate information at scale. However, many high-value participants — including professional traders, institutions, analysts, and organizations with sensitive views — may be reluctant to participate in fully transparent public markets. Confimarket is designed around that gap: market-based information discovery with privacy-preserving participation, credible settlement, and infrastructure suitable for more advanced financial workflows."Prediction markets are one of the most important categories in crypto because they turn information, belief, and probability into tradable markets. But the next stage of the category requires better infrastructure for participants who cannot expose their strategies or positions publicly," said Alexander I, General Partner at WebWise Capital. "That is the opportunity we see with Confimarket: confidential prediction markets built for more serious capital, stronger market structure, and institutional-grade use cases."Canton Network is a natural environment for this model because it combines privacy, interoperability, and an architecture designed for synchronized financial markets. Canton describes itself as the first privacy-enabled open blockchain network, built to preserve privacy while allowing participants to exchange data and value across connected applications.Canton Network has also been attracting prominent financial institutions and ecosystem participants. Official Canton materials list organizations such as J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNY, BNP Paribas, Bank of America, and others in the broader ecosystem. For Confimarket, this makes Canton a strategically relevant foundation: the network is designed around privacy-preserving financial infrastructure rather than general-purpose public-chain transparency.During HackCanton Season 1, Confimarket refined its product thesis, shipped core functionality, gathered user feedback, and strengthened the architecture behind the platform. The team used the hackathon as an early proving ground for confidential prediction market workflows on Canton Network, with a focus on market creation, trading logic, settlement flows, and the user experience required to make prediction markets accessible to higher-value participants.The hackathon win represents an early ecosystem validation signal for Confimarket as the project moves from prototype development toward product readiness. The grand final and judging process provided feedback from Canton ecosystem leaders, venture investors, infrastructure companies, and industry participants.Projects at HackCanton Season 1 were evaluated by representatives from the Canton Foundation as well as venture and industry participants including DWF Ventures, LongHash, Scytale Digital, Jsquare VC, Quantstamp, and Chainlink Labs.Following the hackathon, Confimarket is focused on completing its trading engine, improving the user interface and onboarding flow, preparing private beta access, and working toward liquidity and ecosystem partnerships. The team's next phase is centered on turning the hackathon-winning prototype into a product that can support real prediction market activity, privacy-preserving participation, and institutional-grade use cases.Confimarket is also continuing to position itself within the Canton ecosystem as a prediction market layer for use cases where privacy, credible execution, and market-based forecasting are essential.Follow Confimarket on X for product updates, ecosystem announcements, and launch news, or explore the live app at confimarket.io.About ConfimarketConfimarket is a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network.

Toronto, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 28, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced "bought deal" private placement pursuant to which the Company issued a total of 18,115,797 Class A common shares of the Company that each qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) as part of a charity arrangement (the "FT Shares"), at a price of $1.38 per FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $24,999,800 (the "Offering"). The 18,115,797 FT Shares issued under the Offering include 2,174,000 FT Shares issued and sold pursuant to the full exercise of the option granted by the Company to the Underwriters.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "We are very grateful for the strong support demonstrated for this financing from existing and new shareholders. In October 2025, we expanded our successful deep, step-out drill program at the O'Brien Gold Project to what will be an eventual 140,000 metres with up to eight drill rigs. The drill program is ongoing, and in March of this year we demonstrated its value with an interim, and meaningful, increase in the estimate of the Project's mineral resources. With this financing completed, we can now (i) plan the expansion and extension of our drilling through to the end of 2027, (ii) manage our capital resources more efficiently with our "flow-through" eligible exploration expenditures, and (iii) establish a strong treasury to support project development activities and project de-risking. In particular, our step-out drilling ambition is to go deeper. Until now, our exploration horizon has been to a floor of 2 kilometers depth. Results to date indicate extensive gold mineralization with good continuity beneath the former mine and the current mineral resources to at least 1.9 kilometers depth (see Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026). Given the character of neighboring gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project, we now intend to extend our exploration to a depth of 2.5 kilometers with new deep drilling and directional wedging. We believe that O'Brien gold mineralization has the potential to extend to at least these depths, that such mineralization offers the potential for significant new mineral resources in excess of our current exploration target, and that these mineral resources might be reasonably expected to be developed." The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as both terms are defined in the Tax Act) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") in connection with the exploration of the O'Brien Gold Project, including deep drilling beyond the scope of the current program, on or before December 31, 2027. The Company will renounce all such Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2026. In the event the Company is unable to renounce Qualifying Expenditures effective on or prior to December 31, 2026 for each FT Share purchased in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares, the Company will indemnify each FT Share subscriber, as applicable, for the additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.The Offering was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated May 28, 2026 between the Company and a syndicate of underwriters led by ATB Cormark Capital Markets (collectively, the "Underwriters"). In consideration for the services provided to the Company in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters received an aggregate cash commission equal to $1,316,792.99, representing (i) 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering with respect to the FT Shares sold to purchasers not on the President's List, and (ii) 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering with respect to the FT Shares sold to purchasers on the President's List, provided that no commission was paid with respect to certain U.S. Purchasers under the President's List (the "Cash Commission"). The Cash Commission was paid by the Company with existing cash on hand.The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), the FT Shares have been offered for sale to purchasers resident in all provinces of Canada pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 - Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). The FT Shares issued under the Offering to purchasers resident in Canada under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.An amended offering document related to the Offering and the use by the Company of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption can be accessed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.radissonmining.com.This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States.

HONG KONG, May 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong’s merchandise exports rose by 42.9% year-on-year to HK$620.9 billion in April 2026, according to data released today by the Census and Statistics Department. For the first four months of 2026, total exports of goods reached HK$2,166.4 billion, representing robust growth of 35% compared with the same period last year.Bruce Pang, Director of Research at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) said: “The strong export performance, in line with HKTDC’s earlier assessment, underscores the resilience of external demand, despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.”“The recent surge in Hong Kong’s exports has been driven primarily by the global AI-led application upcycle and strong demand for ICT (Information and Communications Technology) equipment, reinforced by supply chain reconfiguration in Asia and, to some extent, higher unit prices amid rising costs. Hong Kong’s export sales are therefore expected to remain solid in the near term, supported by sustained demand for technology-related products.”As a key re-export hub for electronic components and intermediate goods, Hong Kong is well positioned to benefit from this ongoing AI-driven technology upcycle. Robust demand for chips, AI-enabled products and ICT equipment across global major markets – including the Chinese Mainland, ASEAN production bases and mature markets, such as the US – continues to underpin regional trade flows, supporting Hong Kong’s external trade performance.[For further information about the export prospects of the electronics sector, please refer to: AI Surge Bolsters Electronics Industry from Geopolitical Headwinds | HKTDC Research]At the same time, elevated oil prices amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, together with rising semiconductor costs, have contributed to higher trade values of related products, thereby supporting export growth in value terms. While this largely reflects price effects rather than volume expansion, it is likely to continue underpinning headline trade figures in the near term.In addition, the improved trade environment following the China-US leaders’ meeting in May is expected to support business sentiment by reducing uncertainties. Against this backdrop, Hong Kong’s export performance is likely to maintain solid growth momentum for the rest of the year, underpinned by its role as a critical node in regional and global supply chains.Nonetheless, trade prospects remain subject to geopolitical developments, particularly in the Middle East, as well as the trajectory of energy prices, both of which could affect trade flows and end-market demand.HKTDC Media Room: https://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
