  • CoTec Holdings Corp. Files Third Quarter Financial Statements And MD&A

    CoTec Holdings Corp. Files Third Quarter Financial Statements And MD&A

    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / November 19, 2025 / CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (“CoTec” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has filed its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The financial statements and MD&A can be accessed under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

    Julian Treger, CoTec CEO commented: “During the third quarter we delivered significant progress across our portfolio, accelerated our strategic initiatives, advanced our flagship projects toward key milestones and completed a very successful oversubscribed financing initiative. At our U.S.‐based rare earth magnet recycling joint venture, HyProMag USA LLC (“HyProMag USA”), the detailed design and engineering phase remains on schedule and within budget, site selection and lease negotiations are in final stages. ILS has been engaged as our first feedstock supplier and we are working on accelerating the expansion from one recycling and magnet manufacturing hub in Fort Worth, Texas to three hubs over the next three to five years.

    Our Québec iron tailings project at Lac Jeannine is moving into feasibility study following the successful completion of our 2025 infill and expansion drilling program, with drilling results expected in Q1, 2026. The feasibility study will include the application of Salter gravity separation technology, which we believe could add significant value to the project.

    The Company continues to explore other opportunities in iron ore, copper and other minerals that could benefit from our suite of technologies. We believe the Company’s market price remain materially undervalued compared to the intrinsic value of our asset base and technology portfolio and we have significantly stepped up our marketing efforts to reduce this gap.”

    The Company reported a net loss of approximately $2.9 million for the quarter and $8.1 million year-to-date. However, administrative overheads, comprising Professional consulting fees and General and administrative expenses totaled only $1.13m and $2.97m for the quarter and the year to date respectively, with the remainder of the loss mainly derived from non-cash items, accounting adjustments and finance expense provisions.

    Highlights for the quarter include:

    Operational – HyProMag USA

    • Detailed Design and Engineering (“DDE”) more than 25% complete, on time and within budget

    • Expanded Texas hub scope from two to three HPMS vessels, increasing NdFeB co-product output

    • Purchased a commercial-scale multi-gravity separation unit from Salter to evaluate ultra-fine iron recovery

    • Ongoing engagement with the Government of Québec, local stakeholders, and First Nations

    Corporate

    • Completed the $13.5 million Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (“LIFE”) and concurrent private placement financing, 35% oversubscribed

    • Secured $6.6 million in new convertible loan facilities from Kings Chapel and Epic Capital; no amounts drawn as at quarter-end

    • Converted $6.851 million of prior Kings Chapel convertible loans into equity following the automatic conversion trigger

    • Ended the quarter with $5.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, strengthened by the Q3 financing activities

    • Reported a net loss of $2.9 million for the quarter, driven primarily by G&A expenses, non-cash foreign-exchange and valuation adjustments, and share-based compensation

  • Organto Foods Inc. Announces Prepayment of Convertible Notes

    Organto Foods Inc. Announces Prepayment of Convertible Notes

    Optimizes Capital Structure and Financial Flexibility

    VANCOUVER, BC AND BREDA, NETHERLANDS / ACCESS Newswire / November 17, 2025 / Organto Foods Inc. (TSX-V:OGO)(OTCQX:OGOFF)(FSE:OGF0) (“Organto” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced prepayment of all outstanding 10% convertible notes totaling CDN $2,340,850, as part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its capital structure and position for anticipated growth.

    As previously announced on October 24, 2025, the Company provided 30 days’ notice to holders of the convertible notes of its intention to prepay the outstanding notes, including all interest accrued through November 24, 2025. During the notice period, debenture holders had the option to convert their notes at a conversion price of $0.60 per common share; however, 100% of holders elected to receive a cash payment in lieu of conversion. As a result, the Company has repaid principal of CDN $2,340,850 plus accrued interest of $206,829 to note holders.

    The prepaid convertible notes were originally scheduled to mature in tranches through March 2027, with $922,000 due in December 2025 and $148,000 due in February 2026, followed by additional maturities in December 2026, February 2027, and March 2027. These debentures were convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $0.60 per common share and could have been force-converted if the Company’s stock traded at or above $0.90 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days.

    “The proactive prepayment of these convertible notes is a key part of our broader financing strategy,” said Steve Bromley, Co-Chair and CEO of Organto Foods Inc. “By removing the potential dilution and debt service costs related to these convertible securities, we believe we are positioning our business for greater flexibility and improved cash flow as we execute on plans to continue to advance our global organic and fairtrade foods platform. This action reflects our confidence in our business, our commitment to sustainable growth, and our focus on the creation of long-term shareholder value.”

  • Thailand Privilege Releases Comprehensive Guide for Card Members to Navigate Points Redemption System

    Thailand Privilege Releases Comprehensive Guide for Card Members to Navigate Points Redemption System

    BANGKOK, Thailand – November 17, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Thailand Privilege has released a detailed step-by-step guide to help members navigate the program’s point-based benefit system, providing clarity on how to redeem rewards ranging from spa treatments to visa renewal services. The new resource addresses member requests for clearer instructions following the program’s 2025 restructuring.

    The comprehensive guide explains how Thailand Privilege members can effectively use their annual point allocations to access premium services, including golf rounds at exclusive courses, airport fast-track services, health checkups, and complimentary assistance with 90-day immigration reporting. Each membership tier receives different point allocations, with Gold members receiving 20 points annually, Platinum members 35 points, Diamond members 55 points, and Reserve members 120 points.

    “The release of this redemption guide represents our commitment to ensuring members can fully utilize their benefits without confusion,” said Rex Baay, a Thailand Privilege spokesperson. “We listened to member feedback requesting clearer instructions, and this guide delivers exactly that – a straightforward pathway to accessing the exclusive privileges that come with Thailand Privilege membership.”

    For those considering Thailand Privilege membership or current members seeking to understand their benefits better, detailed information about the points system is available at https://siamlegal.thailandprivilege.com/thailand-privilege-points-system/ where the complete redemption guide and tier comparisons can be accessed.

    The guide details the five reward categories available to members: Stay, Travel, Leisure, Health & Well-being, and Wealth. Members can redeem points for luxury hotel nights, domestic flight tickets, spa treatments, legal consultations, and various other premium services. The resource also clarifies that while points do not roll over annually, all rewards maintain uniform pricing across membership tiers, with higher-tier members receiving additional complimentary benefits.

    Thailand Privilege’s updated system replaces the former Elite Visa program structure, introducing more flexibility and customization options for long-term residents and frequent visitors to Thailand. The points system provides benefits not available through other visa programs, such as the Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa or Retirement Visa.

    The guide also addresses frequently asked questions about point transfers between members, adding family members to existing memberships, and the process for acquiring additional points beyond the annual allocation. This information helps members maximize their membership value and plan their benefit usage throughout the calendar year.

    Thailand Privilege, formerly known as Thailand Elite, operates as the country’s premier long-term visa program, offering multiple membership tiers designed to meet diverse residency and travel needs.

  • Strengthening America’s Infrastructure Starts With Verifying The Things We Depend On

    Strengthening America’s Infrastructure Starts With Verifying The Things We Depend On

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / There are moments in history when emerging threats move faster than the systems built to defend against them. Today, we are in one of those moments. As global supply chains grow more complex and interconnected, new forms of infiltration are quietly taking shape inside the very infrastructure that powers modern life. These risks are not theoretical. They are structural, and they are accelerating.

    Recent concerns about compromised devices and unverified components reflect a broader challenge facing every modern nation: critical infrastructure often depends on materials and technologies that pass through lengthy, opaque supply chains before reaching the people who rely on them. In an environment this interconnected, even a single blind spot can become an entry point. That is the issue the world must understand clearly and calmly.

    For years, SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has worked at the molecular level to help provide that clarity. By embedding identity and traceability directly into materials at the point of origin, SMX enables end-to-end verification that follows a product throughout its entire lifecycle. This ability to authenticate materials is not a concept and not a future aspiration. It is an operational system currently used across industries such as natural rubber, precious metals, recycling, advanced manufacturing, and hardware supply chains.

    These capabilities exist. They are proven. And they are available to any sector that needs them.

    A Global Challenge Without a Villain

    Don’t underestimate the SMX touch points. Every sector can benefit. The vulnerabilities in supply chains and critical infrastructure are not tied to any one actor, nation, or group. In a globalized economy, infiltration can originate from anywhere and travel through any unverified device, material, or component. A system without transparency creates unintentional opportunities for misuse.

    The objective is not to blame or accuse. It is to strengthen resilience.

    Complex supply chains, from consumer products to industrial materials to advanced electronics, now sit at the heart of national stability. Safeguarding these systems requires traceability that starts at the source and verification that is foundational, not superficial.

    Why This Matters Now

    The consequences of a compromised infrastructure reach far beyond inconvenience. Modern society depends on electricity, water systems, transportation networks, logistics, communication platforms, and digital coordination. If any part of this network is disrupted at scale, the effects can cascade rapidly.

    If the grid goes down, essential systems become vulnerable. Gas distribution stops. Water treatment facilities stall. Grocery shelves can empty within days. Hospitals face critical shortages. Truckers struggle to move feedstock. Refrigeration fails. Electric vehicles cannot charge. Before long, millions confront conditions that strain every aspect of modern life.

    These scenarios are not predictions of doom. They are practical examples of why supply chain integrity is essential to national resilience.

    Awareness, Understanding, and the Role of New Tools

    This is why understanding emerging tools matters. SMX’s molecular identity system is already supporting partners across several industries, providing transparent material verification from the outset of the supply chain. It’s proving a vital resource for strengthening resilience wherever it is needed.

    That’s because molecular-level verification does more than improve transparency. It ensures that materials have memory, that supply chains have accountability, and that infrastructure has the foundational protection required for a connected world. These are not theoretical benefits. They are measurable, operational, and available today.

    The risks facing modern infrastructure are real, but so are the technologies capable of mitigating them. This moment calls for clarity, cooperation, and thoughtful engagement across both public and private sectors. Strengthening supply chains is no longer an abstract discussion. It is a practical, achievable step toward safeguarding essential systems.

    The Path Forward

    The path ahead requires more than awareness. It requires decisive steps to strengthen the systems on which modern life depends. Supply chain transparency is no longer a technical preference. It is an essential component of national resilience.

    Infiltration may be a quiet threat, but the solutions are tangible and ready for deployment. Technologies that provide material identity and verification at the source give industries and institutions the tools to reduce risk, reinforce infrastructure, and prepare for an increasingly complex global environment. These are practical measures that can be put to work today, not distant concepts waiting for future progress.

    SMX has built technology designed for this moment, technology that proves resilience is achievable when verification becomes foundational. As the world grows more interconnected, the need to secure what we depend on will only intensify. Strengthening supply chains is not a matter of caution. It is a matter of responsibility.

    The time to act is now.

    About SMX

    As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    This editorial contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements reflect discussions concerning global security conditions, supply chain vulnerabilities, international regulatory environments, and the potential capabilities and future adoption of SMX technologies. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts. They are based on current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections about future events that remain uncertain and that may differ materially from actual outcomes.

    Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “potential,” “future,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include these identifying terms. Such statements include, but are not limited to, expectations regarding global threats to infrastructure, the evolution of international supply chain standards, regulatory adoption of material-level verification technologies, and the potential for SMX’s molecular identity platform to address national security, sustainability, traceability, and circular-economy challenges.

    These statements involve risks, uncertainties, and factors outside SMX’s control, including geopolitical developments, legislative decisions, market adoption rates, technological advancements, enforcement practices, shifts in global trade policy, and third-party reliance on unverifiable data systems. Actual results and developments may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. Readers are encouraged to review the risk factors and disclosures contained in SMX’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Strong population growth, a diverse economy, and major infrastructure projects have contributed to steady housing demand in Phoenix and its neighboring areas. By broadening access to skilled agents, Dominion Group Properties aims to meet this demand with localized knowledge and professional guidance.

    “Arizona remains one of the most sought-after destinations for buyers and investors, and our goal has always been to make informed, relationship-driven service available where it’s needed most,” said Jonathan Baer, Broker and Co-Founder of Dominion Group Properties. “By extending our reach into more neighborhoods, we ensure that residents, whether first-time buyers or seasoned investors, have access to knowledgeable representation that reflects both market realities and community values.”

    Real estate agents at Dominion Group Properties are licensed professionals who represent clients in purchasing, selling, or leasing property. Their role includes preparing listings, marketing through multiple listing services (MLS), coordinating open house events, negotiating contracts, and overseeing transactions from offer to closing. In addition, agents often liaise between clients and other key professionals such as appraisers, inspectors, and mortgage lenders, ensuring that every stage of the process is transparent and efficient.

    By making these services available across an expanded service area, Dominion Group Properties is providing residents with greater accessibility to industry expertise. This includes tailored market analyses, neighborhood-level insights, and specialized strategies for different property types, from single-family homes and condominiums to horse properties, luxury estates, and raw land parcels.

    For buyers, having a dedicated agent can mean access to exclusive listings, accurate pricing guidance, and professional negotiation on terms and conditions. Sellers benefit from strategic marketing plans, exposure to qualified buyers, and oversight of complex documentation required in real estate transactions. Investors gain from the firm’s ability to identify opportunities aligned with long-term financial goals, including property management for rental income and portfolio growth.

    Dominion Group Properties also emphasizes personalized service. With more than 30 years of experience in the industry, Jonathan Baer brings a dual perspective as both a broker and a licensed loan officer. This unique combination enables the firm to streamline financing and sales into a cohesive strategy, reducing delays and ensuring smoother closings.

    Communities such as Anthem, Desert Hills, and Carefree have experienced significant development in recent years. Rising employment opportunities, such as those created by advanced manufacturing facilities in North Phoenix, contribute to an influx of residents. With new families arriving and longtime residents seeking to maximize property value, qualified representation is increasingly essential.

    “Every neighborhood has its own rhythm, history, and future potential,” Jonathan Baer noted. “Our job is to connect people with property and help them understand how that property fits into the broader community. That requires local knowledge, something our team has cultivated for decades in Arizona.”

    Dominion Group Properties has built its reputation on relationship-driven practices. Client testimonials consistently highlight qualities such as professionalism, transparent communication, and a commitment to acting in the client’s best interest. The firm’s emphasis on long-term relationships over one-time transactions reflects its guiding philosophy: real estate is not simply about closing deals but about opening doors for lasting opportunities.

    As the Arizona housing market continues evolving, Dominion Group Properties is committed to adapting. Introducing experienced agents to broader service areas ensures that residents have reliable support during what is often one of life’s most significant financial decisions.

    “Our mission has always been to provide thoughtful, informed guidance to clients at every stage of their real estate journey,” Jonathan Baer said. “Whether someone is purchasing their first home, investing in land, or planning for retirement, our role is to simplify the process and safeguard their goals.”

  • Amana Care Clinic – Muscatine Expands Telehealth Services for Urgent Care Access

    Amana Care Clinic – Muscatine Expands Telehealth Services for Urgent Care Access

    MUSCATINE, Iowa – November 18, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Amana Care Clinic – Muscatine has expanded its telehealth platform to provide remote medical consultations for patients throughout Muscatine and surrounding Iowa communities. The enhanced service addresses growing demand for accessible healthcare alternatives while reducing unnecessary visits to traditional healthcare facilities.

    The expanded telehealth platform enables patients to receive medical consultations from certified healthcare professionals without leaving their homes. This service complements the facility’s established walk in clinic services, providing patients with multiple options for receiving timely medical attention. The platform operates independently from the facility’s online reservation system and integrates seamlessly with existing medical records to ensure comprehensive care delivery.

    Amana Care Clinic - Muscatine

    Patients can now access virtual consultations for various non-emergency conditions including cold symptoms, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, rashes, and minor injuries. The service provides an initial assessment avenue for patients uncertain about the severity of their symptoms, helping them determine whether in-person care is necessary.

    “The expansion of our telehealth capabilities reflects our commitment to providing accessible healthcare options for the Muscatine community,” said Moutaz Kotob, PhD, Medical Director at Amana Care Clinic – Muscatine. “This service helps reduce unnecessary emergency room visits while ensuring patients receive timely medical attention for their conditions. Many patients with minor illnesses can receive effective treatment through virtual consultations, saving them time and reducing their exposure to other illnesses.”

    The urgent care clinic continues to provide comprehensive in-person services for conditions requiring physical examinations or diagnostic testing. The facility maintains full laboratory services, X-ray capabilities, and treatment options for injuries, infections, childhood illnesses, and sports physicals. Patients requiring immediate attention can still utilize the walk-in services without appointments, experiencing shorter wait times compared to hospital emergency departments.

    The telehealth expansion comes as healthcare facilities nationwide adapt to changing patient preferences and technological advancements. Studies indicate that virtual consultations can effectively address approximately 70 percent of urgent care needs, particularly for routine infections, medication refills, and follow-up appointments.

    The platform’s integration with existing medical records ensures continuity of care between virtual and in-person visits. Healthcare providers can access patient histories, previous diagnoses, and treatment plans during telehealth consultations, maintaining the same standard of care available during physical visits.

    Amana Care Clinic – Muscatine serves as a healthcare resource for residents and businesses throughout the region, offering treatment for abrasions, back discomfort, burns, childhood illnesses, cold symptoms, cuts, ear infections, fractured bones, joint pain, muscle injuries, rashes, sinus infections, and urinary tract infections. The urgent care clinic employs certified professionals skilled in diagnosing and treating a wide range of urgent care needs, utilizing state-of-the-art procedure rooms, examination facilities, and diagnostic equipment. The clinic provides affordable, convenient medical care as an alternative to emergency room visits for non-life-threatening conditions.
