TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / October 6, 2025 / Highlander Silver Corp. (TSX:HSLV; “Highlander Silver” or the “Company“) is pleased to report assay results from the third series of holes into the expanding Bonita vein system which include the discovery of a new zone called Kusy that has returned the highest grades of gold and silver reported to date. Kusy is part of the Bonita vein system which is exposed along a ridgeline approximately 10km to the south of the bonanza grade Ayelen deposit at the San Luis gold-silver project in Central Peru.

Highlights are listed below, with corresponding images in Figures 1-2 and detailed results in Tables 1-2.

Highlights

• BOD-021, targeting the central portion of Kusy approximately 150m to the northeast of previously reported drilling, returned 23.6m of 15.56 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) and 74.49 g/t silver (“Ag”) from 8.8m downhole

• The Kusy discovery is the result of the first drilling on the eastern flank of the Bonita vein system exposure and consists of breccias and fine quartz vein fragments similar to the mineralization encountered in drilling on the western exposure

• BOD-019, tested the Kusy zone from a platform to the northwest of BOD-021, and returned 7.4m of 8.10 g/t Au and 6.55 g/t Ag from 48.4m downhole

• BOD-018 was drilled into the western exposure from a step-out platform to the southeast of previously reported BOD-015 (23.7m of 3.31 g/t Au and 9.60 g/t Ag) and returned 10.1m of 3.81 g/t Au and 7.72 g/t Ag from 32.3m downhole

• BOD-017 was collared from the same platform as BOD-018 and intersected 14.6m of 1.71 g/t Au and 5.35 g/t Ag from 41.8m downhole

• The next set of drill results are expected to be released when complete assays are received in approximately six weeks and will include follow up drilling in the new Kusy discovery and step-out drilling in the western exposure

• The Bonita vein system encompasses a number of silicified structures exposed in outcrop over an area of 800m by 200m and remains open in all directions

• Results are being processed from a magnetic geophysical survey undertaken by dual quadcopters aimed at mapping the full extent of the Bonita vein system under cover to the west and in rugged topography to the east and northeast

BOD-016	32.1	36.5	4.4	0.94	12.06
BOD-017	41.8	56.4	14.6	1.71	5.35
and	73.9	76.5	2.6	0.74	1.37
BOD-018	32.3	42.4	10.1	3.81	7.72
BOD-019	48.4	55.8	7.4	8.10	6.55
and	82.4	84.5	2.1	0.63	3.75
BOD-020	67.0	70.8	3.8	0.56	73.33
BOD-021	8.8	32.4	23.6	15.56	74.49

Note: Reported intervals are apparent widths as the full geometry of the mineralized structures has not yet been fully modelled. Assays were not capped, and composite intervals are calculated using a minimum weighted average of 0.5 g/t Au, over a minimum core length of 2m, allowing internal dilution.

Technical Information and Quality Control / Quality Assurance

All drilling was completed with HQ core. The drill core is split in half using a diamond saw. Core is logged by the Company’s geologist on site who outlines the intervals to be sampled. The maximum sample length is 1.5 meters and lengths are adjusted according to lithological and/or mineralogical contacts.

After sawing, one-half of the core is kept on site in core boxes, and the other half is submitted for analysis. Individual sample bags are sealed and placed into larger bags, which are then sealed and marked with the contents.

Samples are transported by Highlander Silver personnel to ALS Peru S.A. (“ALS“) located in Lima, Peru, where they are prepared and analyzed. ALS is independent of the Company.

In ALS, the entire sample is crushed to approximately 80% passing through a 2mm sieve. A 500 g fraction is pulverized. Gold concentration is determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge with an AA finish (Au-AA23). Silver, lead, copper, and zinc, along with other elements, are analyzed by ICP utilizing a four-acid digestion (ME-ICP61). Over-limit samples for Au (10 g/t Au) follow gravitational finishing Au-GRA21 (30g sample). Over-limit samples for Ag (100 g/t Ag) follow gravitational finishing Ag-GRA21 (30g sample).

The internal QA/QC program includes the submission of field duplicates (1/4 core), pulp and coarse reject duplicates, and the insertion of commercial standards and blanks (coarse and fine). Control samples account for more than 15% of the total samples sent, in addition to the laboratory’s internal quality assurance programs.

The Company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.

The scientific and technical information, including the drillhole data, has been verified by Dr. Sergio Gelcich. This verification involves data validation and quality assurance procedures, such as reviewing logging directly in front of the core, analyzing database integrity, conducting quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) for assays, and cross-checking the original lab certificates.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 6, 2025 / California never misses a chance to make a statement or a lawsuit. So when Los Angeles County went after Coca-Cola and PepsiCo for allegedly misleading consumers about plastic waste, the headlines practically wrote themselves. Two global icons, one sweeping accusation, and a familiar villain: plastic.

The optics were perfect. The outcome, less so. Unless they pay attention to opportunities that exist right here, right now, instead of acting as a purely punitive body.

What the state doesn’t seem to realize is that the solution it’s seeking already exists, and it isn’t another fine. It’s proof. It’s infrastructure. It’s SMX (NASDAQ:SMX), a company that has already built what Los Angeles County and global policymakers keep asking for. It delivers real, molecular-level substance to what decades of summits like COP 29 and the UN Plastics Treaty have only talked about.

For its part, SMX isn’t talking; it’s offering. Not about a piece of the puzzle, but the entire wish list: measurable traceability, proof that recycled content is genuine, assurance that waste streams are truly closed, and validation that sustainability is more than a talking point on a corporate slide. That’s the frustrating part. While the debates drag on year after year in search of solutions, SMX already has them, making it long overdue to choose and implement real technology over recycled rhetoric. It’s a straightforward process that lets SMX do the heavy lifting. Here’s how it works.

SMX Immutably Marks Plastics at the Resin Stage

SMX’s molecular-marker technology embeds invisible, tamper-proof identifiers directly into plastics at the resin stage, before they ever take shape. Every granule of resin carries a unique molecular fingerprint, creating an unbreakable chain of custody from creation to collection to recycling. That’s not a proposal. That’s a platform. And it’s working today.

Thus, instead of forcing companies to pay fines for a lack of proof, California could be funding a system that guarantees it. Rather than punishing progress, it could accelerate it by using the dollars already flowing through its lawsuits to build infrastructure that makes compliance automatic.

Coke and Pepsi aren’t the problem. Their intent has always been good, and their investments prove it. Both companies have invested significant resources in recycling innovation, recovery infrastructure, and sustainability initiatives across every major market worldwide. They’ve built partnerships, funded programs, and pledged real progress. What they’re battling isn’t a lack of effort. It’s a lack of alignment.

Every region, regulator, and recycler speaks a different language when it comes to circularity. Definitions shift. Standards collide. What’s compliant in one country gets challenged in another. The result is a global patchwork of rules that reward ambition in one place and punish it in the next.

Coke and Pepsi aren’t fighting the science; they’re fighting a broken system. There are ways to mend it.

Fund Change, Not Unrelated Programs

Imagine if California redirected its lawsuits into solutions. Each multi-million-dollar settlement could fund real-world traceability infrastructure, smart systems that tag, track, and authenticate every ton of plastic in circulation. It wouldn’t just satisfy environmental watchdogs. It would make California the global hub for circular-economy innovation.

And here’s where SMX makes that vision profitable. Its blockchain-enabled Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) monetizes verified circularity, transforming proof into a measurable, tradeable asset. This isn’t about tracking a single bottle worth pennies. It’s about metric tons of authenticated material worth tens of thousands, even millions, when aggregated across global supply chains. Proof becomes liquidity. Circularity becomes an asset class.

That’s the system COP 29 and UN Treaty delegates keep describing in theory, a unified, verifiable framework where data meets policy and accountability meets profit. SMX already has it. It’s not an idea. It’s an implementation.

Regulators Can Stop Chasing and Start Utilizing

The irony is that regulators continue to chase the prospect of solutions instead of utilizing what’s already available, proven, and operational. SMX has already demonstrated its capabilities with Continental, marking and tracing 21 tons of natural rubber from tree to tire. The company also has partnerships with A*STAR, REDWAVE, CETI, Tradepro, and others, which demonstrate that molecular tracking is effective at scale for plastics and textiles. The best part is that SMX’s platform is applicable to virtually any material or liquid, creating a universal language for recycling and circularity across the industries driving today’s environmental headlines.

So why is California still penalizing progress instead of financing it? It makes no sense.

California continues to call for transparency, but it continues to collect opacity. The state’s “environmental funds” absorb millions in corporate penalties, yet recycling rates barely move and landfill totals barely shrink. The money goes to bureaucracy, not backbone. Meanwhile, the companies being fined are the ones trying hardest to change.

Stop Litigating and Start Rewarding

Coke and Pepsi don’t need more lawsuits. They need measurable systems that demonstrate the effectiveness of their current efforts, and they require regulators willing to reward results instead of publishing discouraging headlines. SMX has that system now. It delivers what global treaties have promised but never implemented: molecular-level accountability that makes sustainability measurable, verifiable, and profitable.

Plastic waste doesn’t start in the ocean. It starts in the supply chain. Until regulators start tracing materials at their source, every fine will remain another headline on a broken loop. Stop the madness.

California doesn’t need another statement or another lawsuit. It doesn’t need another committee or summit to study the same problem. The solution already exists. SMX has built, proven, and deployed it. It’s here today, operating at industrial scale, ready to track plastics from resin to recycling and back again.

So here’s a timely proposition: instead of drafting the next headline, California should start recognizing the opportunity already in front of it. SMX is the infrastructure the state keeps asking for: built, operating, and ready to deliver. In other words, California, stop searching and start using.

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / October 3, 2025 / The Crypto Lawyers PLLC has filed claims on behalf of more than one hundred victims of cryptocurrency confidence scams in federal forfeiture proceedings involving more than $225 million in seized digital assets. The filings seek the return of over $70 million stolen from victims and laundered through the same network of accounts identified in the government’s complaint. The firm is joined in the case by co-counsel Greenberg Traurig LLP and Boies Schiller Flexner LLP.

On June 18, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that federal agents had seized approximately 225,364,961 USDT, worth more than $225 million, from accounts used to launder the proceeds of the fraud. In filing its forfeiture complaint, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro stated that her office was “taking a leading role in the fight against crypto-confidence scams, partnering with law enforcement throughout the country to seize and forfeit stolen funds and rip them from the hands of foreign criminals, all with the eye toward making victims whole.”

The DOJ reported that investigators traced approximately $19 million to sixty victims but acknowledged that many more could not be identified. The Crypto Lawyers has since identified more than one hundred victims, nearly double the number recognized in the government’s filing, whose combined losses exceed $70 million beyond those set forth in the complaint. By bringing these additional victims forward, The Crypto Lawyers looks forward to working with the government to ensure they are made whole.

“The Crypto Lawyers has long been at the forefront of efforts to recover stolen cryptocurrency for scam victims. Our clients’ assets have been painstakingly traced to the funds now under seizure, and they have waited patiently for the opportunity to be made whole. We are grateful for the Department of Justice’s work in securing these assets and look forward to seeing them returned to the victims,” said Rafael Yakobi, Managing Partner of The Crypto Lawyers and lead counsel to the victims.

This unprecedented case highlights the scale of harm caused by organized crypto scams and the importance of ensuring that victims are not left behind.

“This case is not only about recovering stolen funds, it is about restoring dignity and recognition to victims who have endured tremendous loss. For too long, many of these individuals had little hope that their voices would be heard. By identifying over one hundred victims whose assets were laundered through this network, the firm is helping ensure they are not overlooked, but instead given a meaningful chance to be made whole. This represents an important step toward justice in the face of widespread and organized fraud,” said Agustin M. Barbara of The Crypto Lawyers and also lead counsel to the victims.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 3, 2025 / Plastic isn’t just everywhere – it’s everything. From the food we buy to the cars we drive, the global plastics economy is worth more than $800 billion. But its future hinges on one critical shift: moving waste from liability to asset. That shift depends on proof – the ability to verify recycled content with the same rigor as virgin plastic. Without it, recycling stalls, ESG pledges collapse into greenwashing, and entire supply chains lose value.

SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is tackling that credibility gap head-on. In its first major U.S. initiative, the company has stepped into the market with a well-regarded Miami plastics distributor to integrate its molecular marker technology into rPET resin in line with FDA regulations for Food Contact Substances (21 CFR). In practice, this means recycled material can carry a permanent, invisible marker that confirms its origin, composition, and compliance – even in food-grade packaging, one of the strictest categories in the industry.

This happens at an opportune time. For decades, recycled plastic has been treated as a second-class material, rarely finding its way into applications that require rigorous oversight. By showing that molecular markers can operate within FDA-regulated frameworks, SMX has opened the door for recycled plastics to move beyond discount markets and into premium categories. That’s not a symbolic shift. It’s a revaluation of plastic waste itself.

A Global Strategy in Motion

This U.S. milestone builds on a broader rollout. In Southeast Asia, SMX has partnered with packaging companies to embed markers at the extrusion stage, building proof into products from the start. In Europe, trials with REDWAVE have proven that even hard-to-recycle materials, such as flame-retardant and carbon-black plastics, can be identified and verified. Together with its U.S. entry, these initiatives form a blueprint for a global proof layer – one where recycled plastics, regardless of geography or application, carry the same credibility as virgin materials.

For global stakeholders, regulators, and manufacturers alike, the timing couldn’t be sharper. Demand for recycled plastics is rising as governments enforce quotas and global brands set ambitious sustainability targets. Yet recycling rates remain low, in part because the market has lacked a universal way to verify and monetize recycled content at scale. SMX closes that gap.

By embedding molecular proof and linking it to blockchain-backed credits such as its Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), SMX gives plastic waste a measurable, tradable identity. Instead of being a compliance cost, recycling becomes a revenue stream – one that can be priced, traded, and financed like any other commodity. Proof stops being paperwork and starts being currency.

From Compliance Cost to Revenue Stream

The plastics market may be worth $824 billion, but the $50 billion recycling segment is where the immediate disruption is happening. And in that disruption lies the proof of an old adage: one person’s trash is another’s treasure. For the first time, recycled content isn’t just a matter of sorting bins and supply chain promises – it can carry verified proof at the molecular level, proof that survives every stage of the loop and can be monetized in real time.

With molecular markers now operating within FDA-regulated frameworks, SMX isn’t simply entering the recycling market – it’s reshaping it. Food-grade rPET demonstrates that the technology isn’t limited to niche categories, but can scale into the most tightly regulated and highest-value applications. That makes plastic waste more than a compliance burden. It makes it a bankable resource.

This isn’t just about recycled plastic. It’s about rewriting how value is assigned in the materials economy – turning waste into an asset, compliance into currency, and proof into the foundation of growth. In that framework, proof isn’t just value. It’s advantage.

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.
