• Gold Equivalent Ounce (“GEO”) Production of 11,437 GEO for the 2^nd Quarter 2025

• Underground Development has commenced and production set to ramp up in H2/2025

• Expanded crushing and agglomeration capacity should expand tonnages to the leach pads and improve recoveries at the Heap Leach operation

• 2025 Production Guidance of 55,000 – 60,000 GEO remains in place, production weighted to H2 2025 as underground ramps up

• 20,000m Exploration Program underway at MDN targeting potential significant resource growth opportunities

• Development activities continue to progress both the Lagoa Salgada and Mont Sorcier projects

TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / July 17, 2025 / Cerrado Gold Inc. (TSXV:CERT)(OTCQX:CRDOF) (“Cerrado” or the “Company”) announces production results for the second quarter ended June 2025 (“Q2 2025”) from the Minera Don Nicolas Mine in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina (“MDN”). Full quarterly financial results are expected to be released prior to August 30, 2025.

Q2 Operating Highlights

• Q2 Production of 11,437 GEO vs 11,163 in Q1

• Heap leach production steadily ramping up to expanded capacity for H2/25

• Underground development at Paloma commencing as planned with three access portals started

• CIL plant starting to receive initial contribution from underground development, production expected to ramp up over H2/2025

Operational results for Q2 2025 showed a slight increase in production over the previous quarter, driven by modestly higher production from the heap leach operations. The heap leach operational performance remained steady over the quarter, however, recovery rates were impacted by a larger amount of primary ore placed on the pad during the quarter due to mine sequencing. This primary material has lower recovery rates and longer retention times as compared to oxide material. Heap leach production is expected to improve in H2/25 as more oxide ore is mined, the addition of an agglomerator to reduce fines and the ongoing upgrades to the crushing circuit are completed. In addition, during the quarter the crushing circuit was offline for approximately 15 days early in the quarter as upgrades were put in place to support higher throughput rates moving forward. Production from stockpiled material via the CIL plant declined somewhat due to lower grades, however, underground operations at Paloma are expected to begin to contribute meaningfully to production in Q3 2025 and beyond as development rates increase and more ore becomes available.

The second phase of the expansion of the heap leach crushing circuit is now operational, which will increase feed stability in order to deliver steady ore to the pad. While supporting higher production rates, additional crushing facilities are also expected to reduce the feed size to the pad and result in increased recoveries. The final updates to the crusher circuit, including final installation of the agglomerator and additional conveyors, are set to be completed in Q3/25

As previously announced, the company commenced underground mining in June, opening up three portals for underground mining beneath the Paloma pit. Ore production is expected to ramp up over the coming months and is set to make a material contribution to production rates as the year progresses. While initial production expectations are relatively modest given the current known underground resource, underground access is expected to provide a platform for major exploration activities at lower costs than drilling from surface. Underground exploration aims to materially expand resources at MDN, leveraging the underground development for a potential expansion in production and/or mine life.

On the exploration front, the Company commenced an approximate 20,000 metre drill program late in the quarter and is set to drill numerous targets in the coming months with the aim to potentially define new resources to provide mill feed to the CIL plant at MDN. Drilling commenced with a single DDH rig north of the Paloma pit, where several new veins have been intersected. Results are pending and further drilling will be required to confirm any new resources.

Mark Brennan, CEO and Chairman commented, “While Q2 results were modestly lower than our expectations as the heap leach continues to ramp up to its fully expanded capacity, we continue to be confident in our full year expectations as the underground operations ramp-up in H2/25. Cerrado also continued to progress both the Lagoa Salgada project and the Mont Sorcier projects towards completion of feasibility studies by Q3/2025 and Q1/2026 respectively, which we believe should demonstrate substantial value being unlocked by Cerrado’s development projects.”

Mont Sorcier Project Update

At the Mont Sorcier high-purity iron project, detailed metallurgical test work and flow sheet design continued during the quarter. All key workstreams are now engaged and the Company has commenced an infill drill program to update sufficient resources to the Proven and Probable categories as required to support the ongoing feasibility. Assay results remain pending at this time.

The Bankable Feasibility Study will look to provide greater detail of the potential for the project that was highlighted in the previous 2022 NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) that delivered a project NPV_8% of US$1.6 Billion based upon iron concentrates grading 65% iron. With the improved metallurgical results received to date the Company is confident it can deliver a high purity DRI grade Iron ore concentrate product of over 67% iron, enhancing the project value and delivering a highly desired product to support the Green Steel transition.

Lagoa Salgada Project Update

At the Lagoa Salgada polymetallic VMS project, detailed metallurgical test work is scheduled to be completed by the end of July, with results targeting improvements across recoveries and grades for the various concentrate products. An updated Mineral Resource and Reserve Estimate is planned to be completed in Q3/25 incorporating the results of the metallurgical test work as well as using updated long term commodity price expectations. This updated resource will be used as part of the Optimized Feasibility Study that is well underway and expected to be completed around the end of Q3/25.

Corporate Activities

In addition to funding development programs at Lagoa Salgada and Mont Sorcier Cerrado continued to pay down debt during the quarter. The Company anticipates its balance sheet to strengthen over the remainder of the year as cash flow increases from higher production rates and strong gold prices. In the medium term the Company is also set to receive future payments from the sale of the Brazilian Monte do Carmo asset sale totaling US$15 million (U$10 million due in July 2026 and US$5 million by March 2027) as well as a further US$10 million should the option granted over the Company’s Michelle properties in Argentina be exercised.

Testing regional exploration targets in ‘Stage 1′ development area

HIGHLIGHTS

• Soil sampling recently completed over ~1.9km² surrounding Tolmer high-grade silver discovery^[1]

• Additional ~23km² program completed at ‘Black Oak Tank’ prospect (Tarcoola Gold Project)

• Additional ~6km² program completed at ‘308′ prospect ~20km northeast of Central Gawler Mill

• Tolmer, Black Oak Tank and 308 soil assay results expected during September & October 2025

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to confirm that the further soil geochemistry programs have been completed on two key regional targets.

The ‘Black Oak Tank’ prospect is located on the northern margin of the Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone, on Exploration Licence (EL) 6210 at the Company’s South Australian Tarcoola Gold Project (Tarcoola).

The ‘308′ prospect is located to the northeast of the Company’s Central Gawler Mill, on EL 6502, at the Company’s South Australian Challenger Gold Project (Challenger).

A total of 501 samples (including duplicates) have been collected at Black Oak Tank and 308 over a combined area of ~29km ², with assay results expected to be received during October 2025.

These programs follow the expedited soil geochemistry program recently completed at Barton’s ‘Tolmer’ high grade silver discovery, located at the Company’s South Australian Tarcoola Gold Project (Tarcoola). ^[2] That program covered ~1.9km ² surrounding an expanded June 2025 drilling program totalling ~2,900m. ² Assay results for Tolmer drilling and soil samples are expected in July and September 2025, respectively.

Commenting on the geochemical programs, Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:
“With the core platforms now established for our planned ‘Stage 1′ operations at the Central Gawler Mill, and a subsequent ‘Stage 2′ expansion at Tunkillia, Barton will advance those projects in parallel while remaining focused on opportunities to more fully leverage that existing and planned future infrastructure in the future.

“Our unique regional infrastructure and operating platform provides multiple advantages in testing exploration targets and progressing development prospects. As this regional platform grows, we can play an increasingly active role in unlocking and accelerating value in previously isolated regional assets.

“Our recent Tolmer high-grade gold and silver discoveries, and our proposed acquisition of Cobra Resources’ Wudinna Gold Project, are strong examples of complementary exploration and development initiatives. These offers significant optionality to our ‘Stage 1′ Central Gawler Mill and planned ‘Stage 2′ Tunkillia mill, respectively.”

Program details
The Black Oak Tank program comprised 416 samples (including duplicates) collected at ~500m spacing, over an area of ~23km ² in size. Black Oak Tank is located along the Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone, northwest of Indiana Resources (ASX:IDA) Minos gold project, in an area with little historical exploration investment.

Boyang Wang on Targeting Underfunded Longevity Projects

SINGAPORE, SG / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / Immortal Dragons, a purpose-driven longevity fund headquartered in Singapore, today announced its unique approach to investing in radical life extension technologies. With $40 million in assets under management (AUM), Immortal Dragons is poised to redefine how capital fuels scientific breakthroughs in longevity and healthspan.

At its core, Immortal Dragons is driven by a profound philosophy: to view aging and death not as inevitability, but as technical challenges that can be overcome through scientific innovation. This conviction underpins every investment decision, prioritizing impacts over financial returns.

Moonshot Ventures

Immortal Dragons targets diverse areas within the longevity sector. The fund has already invested in over 15 startups that are at the forefront of these paradigm shifts, exploring technologies across several strategic pillars:

• Replacement & Regeneration: Including pioneering research in xenotransplantation, cryopreservation, replacement or regeneration of biological components.

• Gene Therapy: Gene therapies aimed at addressing the root causes of aging and age-related diseases.

• 3D Bioprinting: 3D bioprinting of tissues and organs for therapeutic and regenerative purposes.

• Longevity Infrastructure: Foundational ecosystem for longevity science, accelerated clinical trials, and regulatory sandboxes.

Boyang Wang, the founder of Immortal Dragons, articulated the fund’s approach: “Whether it’s cutting-edge science or creating better environments for research, we need to see the opportunity for real impact.” [2] This commitment to diverse areas guides the fund towards supporting what Boyang calls “moonshot projects push the boundaries of science, while infrastructure work – like special economic zones – creates conditions for broader success.” [2]

Purpose-Driven Capital

Operating with the flexibility of a single-LP structure, Immortal Dragons directs its own capital towards projects it is most passionate about, enabling swift and decisive action. This model allows the fund to support underfunded but transformative research that traditional venture capital might overlook.

“We say we are a purpose-driven fund, and the key implication is that Immortal Dragons values impact over economic returns,” Boyang explained in his recent interview. “I’m investing in the field of longevity because I want to see progress and breakthroughs in the sector.” [1]

This commitment extends to personal conviction. Boyang Wang is notably among the first 300 global recipients of Minicircle’s follistatin gene therapy, underscoring the fund’s willingness to embrace and test frontier science. “The gene therapy is a personal attempt, but this does reflect our risk profile and support for the cause,” Boyang explained, “We have strong motivation to support the first wave of longevity companies to make profit, so as to propel the investment flywheel.”

Global Longevity Advocacy

Beyond conventional investments, Immortal Dragons is dedicated to fostering a global longevity advocacy. The fund actively engages in educational outreach, and community-building initiatives, such as translating scientific talks, translating and publishing longevity-themed books, hosting leading chinese longevity podcast channel, sponsorships and grants to longevity initiatives like Vitalist Bay, ARDD 2025. This approach recognizes that progress requires not only financial investment but also public awareness and a robust infrastructure.

The fund’s advocacy approach has been praised by leading academics in the field.

Professor Peter Lidsky of the City University of Hong Kong’s Biomedical Science department commented, “I was excited to meet Immortal Dragons team members at the Vitalist Bay, Berkeley earlier this year. These are young, brave and energetic people committed to resolving the main challenge humanity faces: aging. Their foundation helped me a lot in translating one of my lectures to Chinese, and I hope our collaboration will prosper in the future.”

With deep roots in both east and west, the fund is committed to bridge markets, capital, research and institution through various evangelism efforts.

Aubrey de Grey, president of the LEV Foundation commented, “It has been a great pleasure to get to know the Immortal Dragons team. I have been frustrated for many years that there has been too little longevist activity in China, and I am delighted that that is now changing, with the work of a group that is bringing my and others’ work to the Chinese public. I am also very happy that Immortal Dragons are investing in promising longevity startups.”

Immortal Dragons stands as a testament to the power of purpose-driven investment. By differentiating from the status quo and offering a new perspective to human healthspan, the fund is on a mission to push boundaries and carry on the torch or human life extension.

About Immortal Dragons:

Immortal Dragons (https://www.id.life/) is a purpose-driven longevity fund headquartered in Singapore. The fund invests in cutting-edge, high impact technologies by supporting 15+ portfolio companies. Beyond conventional investments, the fund also puts effort into longevity advocacy, including: book translation and publishing, translation of longevity leader’s talks, hosting leading Chinese longevity podcast, sponsorships and grants to longevity initiatives and conferences.

Nautical Ventures acquisition and completion of current product development drive next stage of electric boating deployment

MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:VMAR) (“Vision Marine” or the “Company”), a pioneer in high-voltage electric marine propulsion systems, today announced the promotion of Daniel Rathe to Chief Technical Officer (“CTO”) of its operations. Since the acquisition of Nautical Ventures Group Inc. (“NVG”), Vision Marine has strategically focused on actively supporting the U.S. boat market through its network of nine dedicated dealers across Florida. Nautical Ventures, recognized for its robust sales performance and a 5-year EBITDA compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in excess of 20%, plays a pivotal role in this approach – providing a strong commercial foundation for Vision Marine to expand its regional footprint.

This targeted support is designed to drive growth, strengthen dealer relationships, and capitalize on the vibrant Florida boating community – ultimately positioning the Company for long-term success in the U.S. market. This leadership appointment also coincides with the transition from the development stage of Vision Marine’s E-Motion™ 180E high-voltage electric powertrain, marking the beginning of the Company’s scale-up and deployment phase.

Vision Marine also announces the conclusion of Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer Xavier Montagne’s contract. Mr. Montagne has completed his mandate following the successful industrialization and validation of the E-Motion™ 180E powertrain – a project he led from concept to commercialization. His work has laid the foundation for Vision Marine’s entry into commercial deployment.

A seamless transition plan is already in place with the appointment of Daniel Rathe as CTO. Mr. Rathe, who worked under the close mentorship of Mr. Montagne for over two years, will lead this next chapter to boost the integration and deployment of Vision Marine’s technology across Nautical Ventures’ sales network.

Over the past two years, Mr. Rathe has played a critical role for the Company in Florida, coordinating technical operations, boat integrations, and testing of Vision Marine’s E-Motion™ 180E high-voltage electric powertrain. Under his leadership, the Vision Marine Florida team will now concentrate its efforts on system conformity, installation, testing, and the establishment of high-voltage rigging bays across Nautical Ventures’ prime locations. This expansion is designed to accelerate customer adoption of E-Motion™ powered electric boats, coupled with our expected market share gain, while promoting industry-leading support for electric boat deployments.

The E-Motion™ 180E high-voltage electric powertrain – the first fully industrialized solution of its kind in recreational marine-has now completed its development and industrialization stage, including rigorous validation with McLaren Engineering. This milestone fulfils the technical mandate led by Mr. Montagne and represents a significant inflection point in Vision Marine’s evolution.

With the product development phase complete, Vision Marine is now focusing its resources on commercial implementation, sales, and services, utilizing Nautical Ventures’ strategic sales and operational footprint to reach new customers and markets.

“Daniel’s leadership and technical expertise, combined with the strong operational platform provided by Nautical Ventures, position Vision Marine to capitalize on the growing demand for electric marine propulsion,” said Alexandre Mongeon, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Vision Marine Technologies. “We are now entering the most exciting phase of our journey, bringing our technology to market at scale.”

Board Update

Separately, Vision Marine Technologies announces the resignation of Mr. Anthony E. Cassella, Jr. from its Board of Directors, effective July 11, 2025. Mr. Cassella made the decision to step down in light of potential and perceived conflicts between his professional activities at MarineMax and his role on Vision Marine’s Board.

“I’ve had the privilege of learning from one of the best,” said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine Technologies. “I sincerely thank Anthony Cassella for his unwavering support, exemplary leadership, and invaluable guidance during his tenure on the Board. His dedication has left a lasting impact on our organization, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to have benefited from his expertise.”

The Company sincerely thanks Mr. Cassella for his valuable contributions to Vision Marine’s mission and growth. Vision Marine remains fully committed to executing its strategic plan, which includes expanding both its high-voltage electric propulsion business and its multi-brand retail operations, offering internal combustion engine (ICE) boats and next-generation electric solutions through its Nautical Ventures network.

About Vision Marine Technologies Inc.

Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) is a technology company specializing in high-voltage electric propulsion systems for the marine industry. The Company’s flagship product, the E-Motion™ 180E, is the first fully industrialized high-voltage electric outboard system for recreational boating, validated through partnerships with leading industry players.

With the recent acquisition of Nautical Ventures Group, Vision Marine has expanded its sales and service network on the East Coast of the United States. Through Nautical Ventures’ multi-brand retail operations, Vision Marine now offers both traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) boats and next-generation electric propulsion solutions, providing a full range of products to meet the current and evolving needs of recreational boaters.
