• The hazard ratio (HR) for the primary endpoint was (3.84, p = 0.0009) in the first month

• The Prolocor pFCG™ test has the potential to help providers reduce 30-day readmission rates for Acute MI, an important criterion for CMS penalties.

PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2025 / Prolocor, Inc., a healthcare startup developing the innovative diagnostic Prolocor pFCG^TM test that identifies patients at higher and lower risk of thrombotic events (heart attack, stroke, and death), announced the publication entitled Prognostic Implications Over Time of Platelet FcɣRIIa Expression in Patients With Myocardial Infarction: A Secondary Analysis in the Journal of Invasive Cardiology.

In an 800-patient multicenter study, patients with an acute heart attack had pFCG measured and were followed for up to three years. In this time-to-event analysis, the hazard ratio (HR) for the primary composite endpoint in all subjects was greatest during the first month (3.84, P = .0009), and the HR for the first 6 months was 2.90 (P = .00005). Similar trends were apparent for patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and those treated with medical therapy alone.

“The Prolocor pFCG™ test represents a breakthrough in risk stratification for patients recovering from myocardial infarction. By accurately identifying individuals at higher risk of ischemic events in the critical early months after myocardial infarction (MI), this test empowers clinicians to make well-informed decisions about treatment strategies,” said David Schneider, MD, FACC, FAHA, Prolocor Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer. “As we work towards integrating this tool into clinical practice, our ultimate goal is to balance the risk of ischemic events with that of bleeding to improve patient outcomes by enabling personalized care.”

“These findings demonstrate the power of the pFCG™ test to stratify risk of recurrent ischemic events after acute MI – particularly in the first 3 to 6 months of follow-up. If future studies demonstrate that use of tailored antiplatelet therapy based on this biomarker can lead to reduced ischemic and/or bleeding complications, the resulting improved outcomes could lead to substantial cost savings for payers as well as increased hospital revenues in settings where readmission penalties are used to incentivize high quality care,” said David J Cohen, MD, MSc, Director of Clinical and Outcomes Research Cardiovascular Research Foundation & St Francis Hospital, Roslyn, NY, US.

Peter DiBattiste, MD, FACC, FAHA, CEO and Co-Founder said, “At Prolocor, we are committed to advancing patient care through innovative diagnostic solutions. The Prolocor pFCG test™ marks a significant step forward in our efforts to provide clinicians with the tools they need to better understand and manage ischemic risk after myocardial infarction. By accurately stratifying patient risk, we can empower healthcare providers to personalize treatment plans that balance the risk of ischemic events with bleeding concerns.”

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / The latest iteration of the innovative Gambit Series of unmanned combat air vehicles (UCAV) from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is Gambit 6, a collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) that adds air-to-ground operations to its already proven air-to-air capability. The multi-role platform is optimized for roles such as electronic warfare, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), and deep precision strike, making it a versatile option for evolving defense needs.

Air forces throughout the world are looking to air-to-ground-capable CCAs to enhance operational capabilities and address emerging threats in a denied environment. Gambit 6 is being developed to meet the corresponding need for adaptability, scalability, and mission-specific performance.

“These are real threats, and they require real solutions,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “The modular architecture and signature-reducing internal weapons bay of Gambit 6 allow for easy integration of advanced autonomy, sensors, and weapons systems, ensuring the aircraft can adapt to a wide range of operational scenarios.”

Airframes will be available for international procurement starting in 2027, with European missionized versions deliverable in 2029. GA-ASI is building industry partnerships throughout Europe with the aim of providing sovereign capabilities for all its platforms.

GA-ASI’s Gambit Series envisions multiple CCA variants rapidly reconfigured from a common core, enabling substantial commonality for rapid and affordable production at scale.

The Gambit Series is a modular family of unmanned aircraft designed to meet diverse mission requirements, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; multi-domain combat; advanced training; and stealth reconnaissance. It’s built around a common core platform that accounts for a significant proportion of the aircraft’s hardware, including the landing gear, baseline avionics, and chassis. This shared foundation reduces costs, increases interoperability, and accelerates the development of mission-specific variants like Gambit 6.

By leveraging specialized configurations and advanced autonomy, Gambit aircraft offer tailored capabilities that enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve survivability in contested environments. One Gambit derivative is the U.S. Air Force’s YFQ-42A, developed as part of that service’s effort to field an AI-enabled uncrewed wingman. Based off the original Gambit 2 concept, the YFQ-42A is designed to complement human-crewed fighters like the F-35 and Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) systems, expanding sensing, weapons capacity, and survivability in contested airspace.

The original concept for Gambit was announced three years ago and was based on four models. Gambit 1 is a nimble sensing platform optimized for long endurance; Gambit 2 adds the provision for air-to-air weapons; Gambit 3 looks much like Gambit 2 but is optimized for a complex adversary air role; Gambit 4 is a combat reconnaissance-focused model with no tail and swept wings. Then in 2024, GA-ASI announced Gambit 5 for ship-based CCA operations.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2025 / American Critical Minerals Corp. (“American Critical Minerals” or the “Company“) (CSE:KCLI)(OTCQB:APCOF)(FRANKFURT:2P30) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced “bought deal” offering, pursuant to which the Company issued 15,574,450 units of the Company (the “Units“) at a price of $0.35 per Unit (the “Offering Price“) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $5,451,000, including the exercise in full of the Underwriter’s option (the “Brokered Offering“).

Research Capital Corporation (the “Underwriter“) acted as the sole underwriter and sole bookrunner under the Brokered Offering.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced concurrent non-brokered private placement, pursuant to which the Company issued 5,714,286 Units at the Offering Price for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $2,000,000.10 (the “Non-Brokered Offering” and together with the Brokered Offering, the “Offering“). Together, the Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7,451,000 under the Offering.

Simon Clarke, President and CEO stated, “we are very pleased with the level of support that we received for this financing. The Company is now funded to commence confirmation and resource drilling at its Green River Project which is a major milestone for the Company. The location of the project, close to existing potash production and contiguous with advanced lithium development, combined with historic data from numerous oil and gas wells, provides us with a high level of confidence as to the potential of the project. We are now in position to implement the steps needed to confirm that data with the goal of converting our exploration targets to maiden resources for potash, lithium and bromine and to take the project to the next level.”

Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share“) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant“). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.45 per Common Share for a period of 36 months following closing of the Offering, provided that holders will not be permitted to exercise Warrants until 60 days following closing of the Offering.

The net proceeds from the Offering of the Units will be used to launch an initial drill program targeting potash, lithium and bromine at the Company’s Green River Project, focused on confirming and updating historic drill data, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Units issued under the Offering were offered for sale pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended by CSA Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (collectively, the “Listed Issuer Financing Exemption“), in all provinces of Canada, except Quebec, and other qualifying jurisdictions, including the United States. The Units offered under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will be immediately “free-trading” under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Company entered into an underwriting agreement dated November 3, 2025, with the Underwriter, pursuant to which the Company paid the Underwriter a cash commission of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Brokered Offering and such number of non-transferable broker warrants (the “Broker Warrants“) as is equal to 7.0% of the number of Units sold under the Brokered Offering. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Unit at an exercise price equal to the Offering Price for a period of 36 months following the Closing.

In connection with the Non-Brokered Offering, the Company paid an aggregate cash finder’s fee of $137,882.50 and issued 393,950 Broker Warrants to such finders. The Broker Warrants are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and a day from the closing of the Offering.

Dean Besserer, COO and Director (the “Insider“), participated in the Non-Brokered Offering purchasing 50,000 Units at the Offering Price for gross proceeds of $17,500.00. Participation by the Insider in the Non-Brokered Offering was considered a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“) as the Insider is a director and senior officer of the Company. Pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company is exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the Company’s shareholders in respect of the Insider participation due the fair market value of the Insider participation being below 25% of the Company’s market capitalization for the purposes of MI 61-101. The Company will file a material change report in respect of closing of the Offering. However, the material change report will be filed less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering, which is consistent with market practice and the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances.

This press release is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in the United States or in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to qualification or registration under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such securities may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from U.S. registration requirements and applicable U.S. state securities laws.

About American Critical Minerals’ Green River Potash and Lithium Project

The Green River Potash and Lithium Project is situated within Utah’s highly productive Paradox Basin, located 20 miles northwest of Moab, Utah. It has significant logistical advantages including close proximity to major rail hubs, airport, roads, water, towns and labour markets. It also benefits from close proximity to the agricultural and industrial heartland of America and numerous potential end-users for its products.

The history of oil and gas production across the Paradox Basin provides geologic data from historic wells across the Project, and the wider Basin, validating and de-risking the potential for high grade potash and large amounts of contained lithium. Wells in and around the project reported lithium up to 500 ppm, bromine up to 6,100 ppm and boron up to 1,260 ppm (Gilbride & Santos, 2012). This data is reinforced by nearby potash production and the advanced stage of neighbouring lithium projects. The Paradox Basin is believed to contain up to 56 billion tonnes of lithium brines, potentially the largest such resource in US (Source: Anson Fastmarkets Presentation- https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/ASN/02823465.pdf ).

The Company’s National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101“) Potash Exploration Target consists of 500 million to 950 million tonnes of sylvinite (the most important source for the production of potash in North America) grading from 12% to 18% potassium oxide based on elog (eK2O=19% to 29% potassium chloride based on elog (eKCl)). Its Exploration Targets for Lithium and Bromine are 2.1 billion cubic meters (brine volume) grading from 71.6 to 216.3 parts per million lithium; and 2.1 billion cubic meters (brine volume) grading from 3,656 to 4,741 parts per million bromine.**

The Company holds a 100% interest in eleven State of Utah (“SITLA“) mineral and minerals salt leases covering approximately 7,050 acres, 1,094 federal lithium brine claims (BLM Placer Claims) covering 21,150 acres, and 11 federal (BLM) potash prospecting permits covering approximately 25,480 acres. Through these leases, permits and claims the Company has the ability to explore for potash, lithium and potential by-products across the entire Green River Project (approx. 32,530 acres). The Company is authorized to drill a total of 7 drill holes across the Project (pending bonding the recently approved 4 drill holes).

Intrepid Potash, Inc. is America’s largest potash company and only U.S. domestic potash producer and currently produces potash from its nearby Moab Solution Mine, which the Company believes provides strong evidence of stratigraphic continuity within this part of the Paradox Basin (www.intrepidpotash.com). Anson Resources Ltd. has advanced lithium development projects contiguous to the northern boundary of our Green River Project and neighbouring to the south. Anson has a large initial resource, robust definitive feasibility study and has recently completed successful piloting operations through its partnership with Koch Technology Solutions, as well as an offtake agreement with LG Energy Solution. The Anson exploration targets encompass the combined Mississippian Leadville Formation and the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation brine-bearing clastic layers, which also underlie American Critical Minerals’ entire project area (www.ansonresources.com)*.

In 2022, the U.S. imported approx. 96.5% of its annual potash requirements with domestic producers receiving a higher sales price due to proximity to market (intrepidpotash.com/ August 15, 2024, Investor Presentation). In March 2024, the US Senate introduced a bill to include key fertilizers and potash on the US Department of Interior list of Critical Minerals which already includes lithium, and this process is well advanced with potash being added to the USGS Draft Critical Minerals List. In August 2025. Recent market estimates suggest that the global potash market is over US$50 billion annually and growing at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of close to 5%. Annual lithium demand is now estimated to be over 1 million tonnes globally and continuing to grow rapidly***.

****Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define them as Mineral Resources, and, while reasonable potential may exist, it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource under NI 43-101.

The Exclusive Technology Partnership Will Streamline POS, Kiosks, Mobile Ordering and Loyalty Programs Across More Than 400 Stores

BOULDER, COLORADO / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / SumUp, the global financial technology company serving more than four million merchants worldwide, today announced an exclusive partnership with Gong cha, the world’s leading bubble tea brand. Through this collaboration, SumUp will serve as Gong cha’s exclusive innovation and technology partner, delivering an integrated platform to support end-to-end sales and customer experiences across more than 400 stores in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and Latin America.

Gong cha sought a partner capable of providing a modern unified commerce platform capable of streamlining operations and delivering a uniform customer experience across all stores spanning multiple countries. After an 18-month pilot process involving several technology providers, Gong cha selected SumUp for its ability to go beyond payments and deliver best-in-class digital experiences that connect self-ordering kiosks and online platforms into a single system integrated with Gong cha’s POS and loyalty programs.

SumUp also developed an integration for Gong cha’s proprietary Super Wu robotic beverage technology, and the companies co-developed a guest feedback tool connected to Gong cha’s loyalty program – an innovation that increased customer survey participation by more than 15 times within days of launch.

Since SumUp provides Gong cha’s entire product ecosystem through a single platform, rather than through multiple disconnected vendors, the brand now benefits from centralized analytics and data insights across all stores and channels.

“Gong cha has become a cultural icon with a rapidly expanding global footprint,” said Andrew Helms, CEO of SumUp U.S. “With our presence in more than 35 markets and over four million merchants globally, we have the scale and experience to help support that journey.”

“As Gong cha continues to expand across North America and new international markets, having the right technology partner is critical to delivering a seamless experience for our merchants and their customers,” said Geoff Henry, President of Gong cha Americas. “SumUp’s platform unifies digital ordering, payments, and loyalty across hundreds of stores, making it easier to scale while maintaining the quality and service Gong cha is known for.”

Supporting Modern Growth for a Global Brand

Since launching in 2006, Gong cha has grown to nearly 2,200 locations in 30 international markets – and more than 240 stores in the U.S. across 23 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. The brand has recently accelerated its expansion in the Americas, opening new locations in Seattle, Nashville, Milwaukee, Maine and the Caribbean, and entering markets across Ecuador and Colombia.

For SumUp, the partnership represents a strategic opportunity to bring its global growth strategy to a well-established and continually expanding brand. Beyond the Americas, SumUp and Gong cha are also collaborating in the U.K. and Ireland, extending the same digital innovation and unified operational model to new markets.

As one of the leading voices on responsible AI, Gonzalez will join two high profile sessions to discuss the pros and cons of near-term vs. long-term AI investment and the realities of deploying enterprise AI ethically and sustainably.

LISBON, PORTUGAL / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / Sama, delivering data certainty for enterprise AI through tech-enabled annotation, validation and evaluation services, today announced that CEO Wendy Gonzalez will speak in two separate sessions at the upcoming Web Summit, taking place in Lisbon, Portugal, on November 12-13, 2025.

The first session, entitled China’s AI Playbook, will examine China’s focus on immediate, practical applications of existing AI technologies – from automated manufacturing to healthcare and logistics – versus Silicon Valley’s heavy investment in the long-term pursuit of artificial general intelligence. As concerns about an AI investment bubble intensify, Wendy will be joined by Jostein Hague, political economist at Cambridge University and Gabrielle Lawrence, features writer of CGTN Europe, to explore whether Beijing’s approach of emphasizing near-term economic value offers a more sustainable path forward for the industry. The discussion takes place on Wednesday, November 12, at 15:55 on the Economic Policy Summit stage.

Gonzalez will also participate in the Demystifying Responsible AI: A Guide for Leaders session, taking place Thursday, November 13 at 10:35 am on the Government Summit stage. Alongside Angeli Patel, executive director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Business and Shelley McKinley, chief legal officer at GitHub, she will discuss the challenges, opportunities, regulatory considerations and strategies necessary to successfully deploy responsible AI and manage risk, as well as practical steps to ensure compliance and business success.

“We’re at an interesting inflection point in AI. Silicon Valley continues to push the boundaries of AGI, while China demonstrates the power of practical, revenue-generating applications,” said Gonzalez. “The real question, however, is whether we’re building systems that are sustainable, responsible and beneficial for everyone. These aren’t abstract debates anymore – companies are making billion-dollar bets. Web Summit is the perfect venue to discuss how to build AI the right way from the start.”

In addition to her mainstage appearances, Gonzalez has been invited to moderate a private roundtable during the Web Summit EcoSystem Summit Offsite, an exclusive, invite-only event on Monday, November 10. The gathering will convene 150 policymakers, government officials and tech leaders to discuss strategies for building thriving, sustainable technology ecosystems around the world.

A certified B Corp, Sama is committed to leading the industry in responsible AI, prioritizing compliance with critical AI legislation around the world. The company’s impact mission has resulted in lifting over 68,000 individuals out of poverty, and its most recent Impact Report details significant strides toward its sustainability goals, including efforts to become net zero by 2050 and its role in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative.

Web Summit is one of the world’s largest technology conferences, bringing together over 70,000 attendees from more than 150 countries. This year’s conference will feature discussions on AI and emerging technology, and their impact on business, government and society. More information is available at https://websummit.com.

Data shows procurement still flying blind on terms and obligations, eroding revenue and delaying deals, despite surging interest in AI-powered contract intelligence.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / Vallor, the AI-agent platform that puts procurement contracts on autopilot, today released From Manual Chaos to AI Opportunity: The State of Contract Management in 2025, exposing how manual processes and scattered access to agreements are draining value and heightening risk across the enterprise. While leaders overwhelmingly rank contract visibility and automation as critical priorities for the year ahead, most still operate in the dark, leaving money on the table and compliance in jeopardy.

According to the survey of 120 procurement and legal professionals at mid-market and enterprise organizations, the disconnect is widening:

• Visibility is fractured. Only 48% report clear, centralized access to contracts; the rest rely on shared drives, email chains, or scattered tools that conceal obligations and deadlines.

• Manual work persists. Roughly 59% still manage review and redlining by hand; 46% track renewals manually; and 44% generate reports without automation, slowing deals and burying teams in busywork.

• Value slips through the cracks. Nearly 1 in 3 respondents admit to missing rebates, discounts, or obligations because agreements were inaccessible or poorly tracked.

External benchmarks underscore the stakes. Independent analyses estimate poor contract management can erode 8-9% of annual revenue, with global losses at nearly $2 trillion each year due to inefficiency and weak oversight.

“Contracts are the operating system of procurement, yet they’re still treated like static PDFs,” said Antonio, CEO of Vallor. “When teams can’t see terms and obligations, they can’t enforce them. This survey shows the cost isn’t theoretical. Organizations are missing savings, delaying deals, and inviting compliance exposure. It’s time to turn contracts into living assets that are searchable, actionable, and continuously monitored.”

The Economic Cost of Inaction

The impact is measurable across three pressure points:

• Deal velocity: More than half of respondents say it takes 30 minutes to 2 hours to locate and validate a single clause, delaying execution and supplier onboarding.

• Savings realization: Missed incentives and unclaimed rebates compound across portfolios, shrinking negotiated value.

• Compliance exposure: As regulatory volume climbs (with a record number of pages published in the Federal Register in 2024), buried obligations-from data privacy to environmental clauses-become ticking risks.

AI Adoption Moves from Curiosity to Imperative

Leaders see AI as the inflection point. Roughly 20% report extensive use already, 34% are piloting, and 33% are actively exploring. Top confidence builders include secure integrations with existing systems, demonstrable ROI, and endorsement from legal and compliance. The direction of travel is unmistakable: 80% of respondents rank improving contract visibility and automation as “important” or “critical” in the next 12 months.

“The winners will move first,” Antonio added. “AI-powered contract intelligence doesn’t just reduce manual toil. It closes the visibility gap that quietly erodes revenue and resilience. Those who adopt now will outpace peers on cost, compliance, and supplier performance.”
