Questcorp and Riverside Resources Complete Complementary Geophysics Programs as Drilling Continues at La Union Project

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 9, 2026) – Questcorp Mining Inc. (CSE: QQQ) (OTCQB: QQCMF) (FSE: D910) (the “Company” or “Questcorp“) is pleased to announce the completion of the expanded drone magnetic and IP geophysical programs linked to the current drilling at the La Union Project, Sonora, Mexico. Geophysics targeted both known zones and new target areas defined in the H1 2026 surface program prior to drilling. Joint Venture partner Riverside Resources Inc., under the direction of CEO John-Mark Staude, continues to conduct the onsite exploration.

Highlights

  • A further 248-line kms of drone magnetics were completed, consisting of 193-line kms at 100m line spacings and a further 55-line kms of tie lines. The high-resolution definition survey builds on the 2025 baseline dataset, identifying multiple strong targets.
  • A further 8-line kms of IP were completed adding to the 4-line kms completed in 2025 and testing multiple existing and new target areas. Data processing is underway to interpret results from the completed drilling, expand targets, and extend the potential for drilling along strike and at depth.
  • The geophysics will be immediately applied to the active drill program, where the first holes focused on three areas: Union, Union North, and Jabali. 4 holes, totaling 400 metres, have been completed since Phase 1 drilling commenced on June 9th. Sampling continues with 4 holes now at the Zacatecas laboratory.

Initial exploration efforts relied on surface mapping, geochemistry, and past mine activity as a guide. These more robust and expansive geophysical datasets help place Union’s discovery potential in a larger regional context, similar to major deposits in Arizona and Sonora where these tools have proven effective at that scale:

  • Identifying cross structures trending NE and NW which potentially coincide with mapped feeder fault zones for the Carbonate Replacement Deposit (“CRD”) and sediment-hosted gold
  • Situating the outcropping diorite bodies within a larger context to assess their potential scale and their relationship to the known gold-zinc mineralized areas at Union
  • Improving imaging of structures beneath post-mineral cover, including NW trending structures newly identified by spring 2026 field mapping as potential ore controls and untested targets.

“With the IP survey now complete, combined with the processed aeromagnetic data, we have an expanded view of the Union Project’s targets and structural framework, both at depth and along strike from current drilling,” said John-Mark Staude, President and CEO, Riverside Resources Inc. “Our teams are in the field continuing Phase 2 drilling, and this data is immediately helping us expand targeting and prioritize the project’s robust set of targets. The program is going well, and our teams are processing drill core and sending samples to the laboratory for assays. We’re also now using the new geophysics to put our surface geology observations into a mineralization targeting context, helping focus our efforts toward discovering high-grade gold and base metals similar to what was previously mined here, now with geophysics to help image potential source targets at depth.”

Questcorp President & CEO Saf Dhillon added: “We want to thank John-Mark and the entire Riverside team for their continued technical rigour and close collaboration on the ground at La Union – their operational execution has been instrumental in getting us to this point. With 4 holes now in hand at the Zacatecas laboratory, we are eager to receive the first assay results as quickly as possible, and we look forward to sharing them with our shareholders the moment they are available.”

Geophysics Integration

The completed Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey comprised 5 dipole-dipole lines with a 50m dipole spacing. The lines were located over areas of known mineralization in an effort to further refine drill targeting. IP provides the rock resistivity and conductivity to the depth of about 200m. The IP coupled with magnetics allows some interpretation of the existing structures and their orientations, see Figure 1. The IP lines cross over the current drilling, providing context for how the drilling fits into the larger target framework. The aeromagnetic survey measured the magnetic response of the bedrock closer to surface and showed a series of NE and NW-trending structures believed to be deeper (feeder) fault zones. Geophysics combined with surface geochemistry should provide more refined targets for the ongoing drill program focused in this area.

Questcorp Mining and Riverside Resources Advance Toward Drilling with Expanded IP Survey at La Union Project, Sonora, Mexico

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 2, 2026) – Questcorp Mining Inc. (CSE: QQQ) (OTCQB: QQCMF) (FSE: D910) (the “Company” or “Questcorp”) is pleased to provide an update on ongoing exploration activities at the La Union Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico, where the Company and its technical partner, Riverside Resources, have completed an expanded induced polarization (“IP”) geophysical survey designed to further refine drill targets ahead of the Company’s fully funded Phase 2 drill program.

Five IP lines were strategically positioned across key high-priority target areas identified through recent geological mapping, geochemical sampling, historical drilling, underground mine investigations, and the Company’s successful 2026 exploration campaign. The program represents the final stage of target refinement before drilling commences.

The successful IP continues a series of encouraging exploration results reported during the spring 2026 field program, including high-grade gold, silver, lead and zinc mineralization from the Union Mine, Union Norte, Javalí and Creston target areas. These results, combined with the recently completed district-wide structural reinterpretation and expanded aeromagnetic survey, continue to strengthen management’s confidence in the scale and discovery potential of the La Union Project.

Questcorp President and CEO Saf Dhillon added:

“The completion of this IP survey marks an important milestone as we move into what we believe will be the most exciting phase in the evolution of the La Union Project. Over the past several months, our team has systematically expanded the project’s opportunity set through new discoveries, high-grade sampling results, structural reinterpretation and now targeted geophysics. What is particularly exciting is that every layer of work continues to point toward a larger mineralized system than originally recognized.

With permits secured, funding in place, contractors engaged and drill targets being refined in real time, we are now on the threshold of our Phase 2 drill program. We believe the upcoming drilling campaign has the potential to be transformational for Questcorp as we begin testing multiple high-priority targets across this rapidly emerging district-scale gold and polymetallic system.”

John-Mark Staude, President and CEO of Riverside Resources, commented:

“We are pleased to continue advancing the La Union Project alongside Saf, Tim and the entire Questcorp team. The combination of high-grade surface results, expanding target areas and the geophysical responses we are seeing from the current IP survey provides a compelling framework for the next phase of drilling. The project continues to demonstrate the characteristics of a large mineralized system with significant exploration upside.”

IP coverage across the Union Mine area successfully highlighted conductive zones coincident with previous drilling and known mineralization while also identifying potential extensions beyond historically tested areas. Equally important, the northern portion of the property has now been surveyed for the first time, generating several new geophysical targets that will be evaluated as part of the upcoming drill campaign.

The IP survey enhanced the Company’s understanding of the structural and geological controls associated with both carbonate replacement (“CRD”) style mineralization and the emerging sediment-hosted gold targets identified across the broader project area. Conductive responses along all five survey lines are providing additional vectors for drill targeting and further supporting the district-scale exploration potential at La Union.

AIAI Holdings and Constellation Network Launch Arca Wallet, a Wallet to Self-Manage Digital Dollars

New Mobile Wallet Combines Digital Dollar Management, Streamlined Identity Verification and an Integrated App Marketplace Designed to Expand Access to Global Payments

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2026 / AIAI Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:AIAI) (“Ai2” or the “Company”), an AI-enabled diversified holding company utilizing Transformational AI to enhance portfolio performance, along with its subsidiary portfolio company Constellation Network, a blockchain and data infrastructure company, today announced the public launch of Arca Wallet, a self-custodial mobile dollar wallet that enables anyone, anywhere, to hold, send, and manage digital dollars directly from their smartphone. Arca Wallet is available for download on the App Store and Google Play.

Arca Wallet is designed to address a large and evolving global payments market by combining self-custody, digital dollar transfers, streamlined identity verification, and an integrated application marketplace in a single mobile experience. The product reflects Ai2‘s broader strategy of supporting portfolio companies that apply advanced technology to clear commercial use cases with the potential to create scalable, transaction-driven revenue opportunities.

“At the heart of Constellation’s design genius is the application of Transformational AI to create products adaptable to a multitude of use cases. Arca Wallet exemplifies the technology we are building at AIAI – products that create real, measurable value for people,” said Todd Furniss, CEO and co-founder of AIAI Holdings Corporation. “Giving users with a smartphone the ability to hold and send currency without a bank account is exactly the kind of product we want in this portfolio. Just as importantly, Arca’s identity verification and marketplace architecture create a foundation that can extend into a much broader range of uses and a much broader range of partner-enabled applications over time, expanding the wallet from a payments tool into a digital Swiss army knife.”

“We built Arca around one principle: Your wallet and everything in it belongs to you,” said Ben Jorgensen, CEO of Constellation Network. “That means you hold your own keys, no institution can touch your funds, and you pay a fraction of what conventional services charge to send money internationally. Arca provides banking features without having a bank. The marketplace takes that further and extends that utility by allowing users to complete identity verification once and then access a growing network of uses and approved partner applications from the same wallet. We built it for the world as it actually exists today.”

Arca Wallet is built on a self-custodial model, meaning users retain direct and exclusive control over their digital assets at all times. No institution, including Arca itself, holds, manages or has the technical ability to restrict access to user funds. Users authenticate through email or social login and complete setup in approximately 30 seconds, without a bank account, minimum balance or prior knowledge of digital asset infrastructure. The wallet supports USDC (USD Coin) and USDT (Tether), U.S. dollar-denominated digital currencies issued and redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars by regulated third parties. Arca’s underlying technology covers network transaction costs on behalf of users, so senders pay only Arca’s disclosed flat fee.

Beyond core dollar management, Arca Wallet includes an integrated in-app marketplace through which users gain access to a curated network of approved third-party partners and applications. Identity verification is completed once; users then interact with the full ecosystem of Arca-supported services without repeated onboarding. Over time, as partner integrations are developed, Arca’s verification architecture is designed to support broader use cases where trusted user information may be required, such as secure identity verification for travel or access programs, healthcare registration, insurance enrollment and policy updates, government benefits registration, employee onboarding, mortgage and loan applications, tax-related filing processes, and other digital forms or app-based registration workflows.

The marketplace is designed to expand the utility of the wallet over time and creates a diversified, transaction-driven revenue stream for the Company through fees assessed on partner-enabled commerce.

Cross-border payments represented approximately $179 trillion in global transaction flows in 2024, according to the McKinsey Global Payments Map. A significant portion of lower-value cross-border activity continues to rely on legacy financial infrastructure, creating demand for faster, more accessible, and more cost-efficient alternatives. Arca addresses this opportunity by enabling international transfers that settle in seconds, compared to the one-to-five business days typical of conventional wire transfers, at a flat 0.5% fee versus a global average remittance cost of approximately 6.36%, according to the World Bank’s Remittance Prices Worldwide data. Account creation requires no bank account, no minimum balance, and no paperwork, making the product accessible to populations historically excluded from digital financial services.

Arca users may also opt into SimpleFi, a dollar savings product that allows users to put their dollars to work with no lock-up period and no minimum balance. Returns through SimpleFi are variable and not guaranteed. SimpleFi is not a savings account and is not FDIC insured. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Arca does not provide investment, financial or tax advice.

Arca is not a bank. Digital dollars held in Arca are not bank deposits, are not FDIC insured, and are not guaranteed by any government entity. Availability of Arca Wallet, SimpleFi, and marketplace services may be subject to jurisdictional restrictions, eligibility requirements, and applicable law.

Apple and App Store are trademarks of Apple Inc. Google Play is a trademark of Google LLC. Neither Apple Inc. nor Google LLC sponsors or endorses Arca Wallet.

AIAI Holdings’ Constellation Network Unveils Gate AI Security Gateway and Performance Benchmarks Ahead of June Launch

Technical report identifies Gate AI as one of the top performing AI security gateways across 16 public prompt injection evaluations, ranking first on half of the evaluated datasets.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / AIAI Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:AIAI) (“Ai2” or the “Company”), an AI-enabled diversified holding company utilizing Transformational AI to enhance portfolio performance, today announced that one of its portfolio companies, Constellation Network, its blockchain and data infrastructure company, will launch its AI security gateway product, Constellation Gate AI, in June 2026. Ahead of the launch, Constellation has published a technical report in which it concludes Gate AI is one of the top performing solutions on evaluated public benchmark datasets, ranking first on 8 benchmarks and placing in the top three on 4 more.

“Constellation’s infrastructure is built around trusted data, and Gate AI is a strong example of that capability in action,” said Todd Furniss, CEO and Co-founder of AIAI Holdings Corporation. “The benchmark results described in the technical report position Gate AI among the strongest performing. We believe this validates the strength of Constellation’s technology and provides AIAI with a differentiated blockchain security platform that can support the next generation of AI driven systems, while also creating opportunities to integrate trusted data validation capabilities across AIAI’s portfolio companies.”

“We are excited to launch Gate AI for several reasons. The performance results we’ve highlighted demonstrate the platform’s capabilities, and we believe that this starts a major trend of converging AI with blockchain technologies. We also see significant unmet demand across the market, from enterprises to smaller organizations, for solutions like this. With that in mind we built it to be something teams can deploy in minutes and rely on every day, while providing an accessible gateway that can support users at any scale.”

“Every team building with AI today is faster and more efficient than they were a year ago. However, developers are just one prompt injection away erasing their gains through a security incident.” said Ben Jorgensen, CEO of Constellation Network. “Gate AI plugs into any existing AI workflow without code changes, blocks those attacks before they reach the model, and produces a tamper-evident audit trail of every request and response. We built it to be something teams can set up in minutes and rely on every day.”

Constellation Gate AI is a security and audit gateway for AI applications. It plugs into any existing AI workflow without code changes and provides prompt-injection defense, a tamper-evident audit trail of every model call, and unified cost and usage visibility across major commercial model APIs and open-weight models.

Prompt injection is the class of attack in which malicious instructions hidden inside emails, documents, websites, or other content retrieved by an AI agent cause that agent to take actions its operator did not intend. As AI agents increasingly execute real work on behalf of users and organizations, the security layer for those agents has to sit in line with every model call.

Early access registration is open now at https://constellationgate.ai.

Benchmark Results

A technical report authored by Ryle Goehausen, Head of Protocol at Constellation Network, published alongside today’s announcement evaluates Gate AI’s prompt-injection detection cascade against 16 public benchmark datasets. The report describes the testing and evaluation methodology in full. Two design choices apply across every dataset: a single global operating point and no per-dataset threshold tuning.

Results Highlights:

  • F1 of 97.4% at a 1% false-positive rate gating constraint across the full 16-dataset corpus.
  • Ranked first on half of the 16 evaluated datasets, placing second on 3 and third on 1 when compared against published competitor scores.
  • Median end-to-end response time of 53 milliseconds, 95th-percentile 571 milliseconds, mean 104 milliseconds.

The cleanest head-to-head comparison with the largest commercial competitor sits on two stringent benchmarks of legitimate, non-attack user prompts, where the meaningful metric is how often a detector mistakenly blocks legitimate traffic. On the Wildguard-benign dataset, Gate AI’s false-positive rate was 1.03%, against the enterprise competitor’s published 17.4%. On Notinject, Gate AI’s rate was 2.06%, against the enterprise competitor’s published 12.4%.

The full report, including dataset descriptions, per-dataset confidence intervals, and the complete competitor scoreboard with citations, is available on the Constellation Network blog: https://constellationnetwork.io/blog/gate-ai-prompt-injection-benchmark/

Constellation Gate AI will be available in two configurations at launch:

  1. Bring Your Own Keys. Customers connect their existing model provider accounts and route traffic through Gate AI for audit and cost visibility. A free tier is planned, with a paid tier that adds prompt-injection defense and audit anchoring.
  2. Pay As You Go. Customers prepay a balance and consume major commercial and open-weight models through Gate AI without managing upstream provider relationships directly. Security and audit features are included.

Early access registration is intended to provide qualified developers and teams with access to the gateway ahead of general availability, along with documentation, integration guides for popular AI development tools, and onboarding for the planned audit-anchoring feature, which is designed to write tamper-evident receipts of model interactions to the Constellation Network protocol.

ELEMENTAL ROYALTY ANNOUNCES INAUGURAL DIVIDEND AND OPTION FOR QUALIFYING REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS TO RECEIVE TETHER GOLD

February 17, 2026 – Denver, Colorado: Elemental Royalty Corporation (“Elemental” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: ELE, NASDAQ: ELE) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved an inaugural dividend policy (the “Dividend Policy”). In accordance with the Policy, Elemental expects to declare an annual cash dividend to its shareholders of US$0.12 per Elemental common share, to be paid in quarterly instalments of US$0.03 per share, with the record date for the inaugural dividend to be paid at the end of the first calendar quarter of 2026, and at the end of each calendar quarter following for subsequent dividends.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it anticipates that qualifying registered shareholders will be able to elect to receive their dividend in the form of Tether Gold XAU₮ tokens, of par value to the dividend price, thereby providing Elemental shareholders with direct ownership of physical gold through their investment in gold royalties.

Highlights

  • Maiden Dividend Policy approved by the Board of Directors
  • Expected annual cash dividend of US$0.12 per Elemental share, paid quarterly
  • Anticipated that qualifying registered shareholders will be able to elect that their cash dividends be invested in Tether Gold’s XAU₮ token
  • The Dividend to shareholders is supported by Elemental’s strong projected revenue and cash flow growth profile in 2026 and beyond
  • Further information on how shareholders may elect to receive the dividend or dividend in kind, will be provided in due course

David M. Cole, Chief Executive Officer of Elemental Royalty, commented: “The approval of this dividend policy marks an important milestone in Elemental’s strategic trajectory and reflects our confidence in the strength and momentum of the business; we believe this is the right time to introduce a sustainable, long-term, dividend. The decision to offer investors a dividend in kind, in the form of Tether Gold, further differentiates Elemental as a forward-thinking, growth-oriented investment.”

Stefan Wenger, Chief Financial Officer of Elemental Royalty Corporation, commented: “Our inaugural dividend is underpinned by Elemental’s strong balance sheet and future revenue outlook in the near and longer-term: as of December 31, 2025, we had approximately US$53 million of cash and no debt, providing substantial financial flexibility as we continue to invest in growth. We will continue to maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation, balancing returning capital to shareholders through a progressive dividend which we intend to maintain, or even increase, without compromising on our strategy of accretive growth through the acquisition and generation of precious metals streams and royalties.”

Juan Sartori, Executive Chairman of Elemental Royalty Corporation, commented: “We believe the initiation of this dividend policy is a world first for a royalty company: we anticipate enabling qualifying shareholders to elect to have their cash dividend invested in the purchase of the Tether XAU₮ token, thereby facilitating  for shareholders greater exposure to physical gold through Tether Gold’s stablecoin and retaining real long-term value storage via a practical mechanism for gold-denominated investment returns.”

Elemental Royalty Options Three Exploration Licenses in Serbia to BHP

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 16, 2026) – Elemental Royalty Corporation (TSXV: ELE) (NASDAQ: ELE) (“Elemental” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the execution of a definitive option and earn-in agreement (the “Agreement”) covering three exploration licenses in the Bor Mining District of Serbia to a wholly owned subsidiary of BHP Group Limited (“BHP”). The three exploration-stage projects are currently held by Elemental’s wholly owned Serbian subsidiary Magma Resources doo (“Magma”) and BHP will have the option to acquire Magma in exchange for cash payments and by satisfying work commitments. Elemental will retain 2% NSR royalties on the projects as well as other considerations (see discussion of Commercial Terms below).

The Projects nicely complement Elemental’s other royalty interests in the Bor District, which include the Brestovac, Brestovac West, and Jasikovo East-Durlan Potok properties (see Figure 1). Brestovac is one of Elemental’s flagship royalties, covering Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd’s producing Čukaru Peki copper-gold mine and recently discovered Malka Golaja copper-gold deposit. Zijin has been rapidly expanding its Čukaru Peki operations, increasing capacity at its current mill while continuing to add infrastructure for the development of the “Lower Zone” porphyry copper-gold deposit. Zijin’s published mineral resources and reserves for Čukaru Peki have also continued to grow rapidly, as shown in Zijin’s recent annual reports. The Lenovac projects, included in the BHP Agreement, cover the extension of the geologic trend that hosts the Čukaru Peki and Malka Golaja copper-gold deposits to the south.

Commercial Terms Overview. (all terms in USD)
Pursuant to the Agreement, BHP can acquire and retain a 100% interest in Magma and the Projects by satisfying each of the following conditions: (a) making a payment of $200,000 to the Company on the six-month anniversary of the Agreement, (b) annual payments of $200,000 to the Company on every anniversary of the Agreement until the earn-in is complete, and (c) completing $5,000,000 in cumulative exploration expenditures on the Projects within five years.

Upon BHP’s option exercise and earn-in, Elemental will retain a 2% NSR royalty interest on each Project. BHP may buy back up to a total of half a percent (0.5%) of the royalty in quarter percent (0.25%) increments; 0.25% can be purchased for $5,000,000 before the eighth anniversary of the agreement and 0.25% can be purchased for $5,000,000 before the 11th anniversary of the agreement. BHP will also make annual advance royalty payments of $200,000 to the Company until the commencement of commercial production.

Overview of the Projects.
The Bor Mining District in eastern Serbia has been one of Europe’s largest copper producers for over a century, where historic and current mining operations have been developed within a cluster of porphyry Cu-Au, high-sulfidation epithermal and skarn systems (including Bor, Veliki Krivelj, Majdanpek and Čukaru Peki; see Figure 1). The Elemental projects (the “Projects”) were originally acquired in 2023 and 2024 and are positioned along trend of Zijin Mining’s Bor and Čukaru Peki operations. Although there are still near-surface deposits being identified in the area, several recent discoveries have been made at relatively deep levels (such as Zijin’s Čukaru Peki and Dundee Precious Metals’ Čoka Rakita deposits) and require deep drilling. BHP’s deep-sensing geophysical capabilities and existing regional interest make them an ideal exploration partner for the Projects.

Elemental has acquired over 150 square kilometres of mineral rights along trend of the major copper and gold deposits within the Bor Mining District (see Figure 1). Previous exploration in the Bor District has typically targeted Upper Cretaceous andesite units, which host the majority of the epithermal and porphyry systems at the Bor Copper Complex and Čukaru Peki mine. However, new discoveries such as Dundee Precious Metals’ Čoka Rakita skarn deposit highlights that the different geologic settings and older Jurassic and Paleozoic host rocks are also prospective for additional discoveries. The Elemental Projects include both the traditionally prospective Upper Cretaceous andesite units of the Timok Magmatic Complex, as well as deeper host rock packages where several recent discoveries have been made.

The Lenovac North and South licenses lie directly south of the Zijin’s Brestovac license, which hosts the Čukaru Peki and the recently discovered Malka Golaja copper-gold deposits. Elemental’s Lenovac licenses cover the southern extension of this trend where a regional fault displaces the trend of mineralization and favorable host rocks to the southwest. The licenses are largely comprised of prospective Cretaceous volcanic and sedimentary units with some areas of Miocene cover.

The Durlan Istok license is located to the southeast of Zijin’s Majdanpek porphyry copper-gold mine and east of Čoka Marin, a high-grade polymetallic volcanogenic/epithermal deposit. The Durlan Istok license contains the stratigraphic sections that hosts Čoka Marin and the Čoka Rakita skarn further to the southwest.

Comments on adjacent or nearby Districts, Mines, and Deposits.
The districts, mines, and deposits discussed in this news release provide context for Elemental’s projects, which occur in similar geologic settings, but this is not necessarily indicative that the Company’s projects host similar tonnages or grades of mineralization.

North American Investor Relations
Elemental has retained the services of Renmark Financial Communications Inc. to handle its investor relations activities in North America. In consideration of the services to be provided, the monthly fees incurred by Elemental will be a cash consideration of up to C$9,000, starting January 1, 2026, for a period of seven months ending on July 31, 2026, and monthly thereafter. Renmark Financial Communications does not have any interest, directly or indirectly, in Elemental or its securities, or any right or intent to acquire such an interest.
