VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 28, 2025 / CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (“CoTec” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the purchase of its first commercial scale multi-gravity-separator (“MGS”) from Salter Cyclone Limited (“Salter”).

The MGS provides a highly effective “recovery and upgrading of mineral values” contained in fine and ultra-fine particles. It is unique in enabling the production of high-grade concentrates at high recovery from low-grade tailings and middling streams which differentiates it from other gravity recovery technology which focuses on either recovery or grade. The MGS has historically proven itself on minerals such as tin, tungsten and chrome, however CoTec is aiming to use the technology to unlock value from tailings streams in other sectors such as iron and copper.

The MGS will be based at Corem’s testing laboratory in Québec Canada. Having the commercial scale unit based at Corem will allow CoTec to assess tailings retreatment opportunities in a compressed timeframe with test results coming from an internationally respected mineral processing organisation. The MGS machine will support the recently announced Lac Jeannine Feasibility Study with BBA, for the recovery of additional iron ore from our Iron Tailings reclamation Project in Québec, Canada Project ⁱ .

Julian Treger, CEO of CoTec commented : “The purchase of the MGS is another exciting step forward in achieving CoTec’s corporate strategy of applying technology to recover minerals from material classified as waste. Test work to date on Lac Jeannine’s -75µm iron tailings material has proven that high grade concentrates at economically viable recoveries are achievable, and the Feasibility Study will build on this work and expand into other minerals such as copper, lead and zinc. A commercial scale MGS based at Corem provides CoTec with the ability to move rapidly from lab scale testing to commercial scale data gathering for engineering design and economic valuation. This ability to assess opportunities in a compressed timeframe allows for efficient capital deployment and the ability to bring operations online far quicker than current industry standards. We continue to work closely with Salter as this exciting technology develops”.

MGS Technology

In February 2025, CoTec announced the signing of a binding long-term exclusivity and collaboration agreement with Salter for the application of its Multi-Gravity Separators (MGS) technology for the recovery of iron ore and manganese from both primary mining and tailings material ⁱⁱ . Salter’s MGS technology was originally developed in the 1980s by Richard Mozley and has been in operation for many years applied to the recovery of valuable metal minerals (tin, chromium, copper, zinc etc.). Its application to bulk commodities such as iron and manganese has been limited. As part of the collaboration CoTec and Salter will actively collaborate on an asset-by-asset basis to apply the technology to identified assets.

About CoTec Holdings Corp .

CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) is redefining the future of resource extraction and recycling. Focused on rare earth magnets and strategic materials, CoTec integrates breakthrough technologies with strategic assets to unlock secure, sustainable, and low-cost supply chains.

CoTec’s mission is clear: accelerate the energy transition while strengthening strategic critical mineral supply chains for the countries we operate in. By investing in and deploying disruptive technologies, the Company delivers capital-efficient, scalable solutions that transform marginal assets, tailings, waste streams, and recycled products into high-value critical minerals.

From its HyProMag USA magnet recycling joint venture in Texas, to iron tailings reprocessing in Québec, to next-generation copper and iron solutions backed by global majors, CoTec is building a diversified portfolio with long-term growth, rapid cash flow potential, and high barriers to entry. The result is a game-changing platform at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and strategic materials.

Arrive AI and Ottonomy Inc. offer world’s first smart, secure storage units in healthcare, enabling robotic deliveries to be kept safe until human staff has time for them

GREENFIELD, INDIANA / ACCESS Newswire / October 28, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), an Indiana-based pioneer in autonomous delivery networks anchored by patented AI-powered smart receptacles called Arrive Points^™, today announced the hard launch of a two-year partnership with Ottonomy Inc., a California-based leader in robotic delivery, and Hancock Health, a regional healthcare system and member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network. The collaboration is the first to deploy fully asynchronous robotic automation for medical deliveries inside a hospital, aiming to generate significant cost savings and operational efficiencies.

“Some hospitals, including a few in Indiana, already use robots for repetitive tasks, but those still require human interaction when the robots reach their destinations,” said Arrive AI CEO Dan O’Toole. “Ours is the first to provide a universal access point where biospecimens can be securely housed until busy healthcare professionals are ready for them. At scale, our platform will generate data insights that drive even greater innovation.”

Ottonomy’s “Ottobot” robots travel between Arrive Points to deliver items that would otherwise be transported by medical personnel.

“Hospitals are huge places. Medical professionals, who would rather be delivering direct patient care, walk thousands of steps a day moving biospecimens and other items,” said Ottonomy CEO Ritukar Vijay. “The combination of Arrive Points and Ottobot robots offers enormous value.”

Arrive AI has installed Arrive Points throughout the hospital serving the Sue Ann Wortman Cancer Center and located near the laboratory and surgical center. Each is about one-eighth of a mile from nurses’ stations. When lab specimens are ready for transport, staff place them in the nearest Arrive Point. The unit signals an Ottobot, which retrieves the items and delivers them to the designated Arrive Point. Medical staff are alerted that a delivery is waiting, and items remain at the proper temperature until authorized staff retrieve them.

“The asynchronous pickup and delivery with secure chain-of-custody is a huge boost to clinicians’ valuable time,” Vijay added. “This is the world’s first unattended pickup and drop-off by robots in healthcare. It’s game changing.”

Steve Long, president and CEO of Hancock Health, said his team is always looking for ways to improve efficiencies and found the Arrive AI solution especially compelling.

“Patient care is our top priority and introducing Arrive AI into our facility helps ensure our providers can maximize one-on-one time with their patients,” said Long. “Whether through the latest surgical innovations or robotics, Hancock Health is committed to staying at the forefront of healthcare technology to provide the best care for East Central Indiana.”

Clara Quakenbush, a medical assistant at the Cancer Center, said she often spends at least 90 minutes a day walking specimens between the Cancer Center and hospital lab. She makes an estimated 10 to 15 such trips daily. Using the Arrive Points and Ottobot system cuts that time away from patients at least in half, she said.

“Every minute spent delivering samples is a minute not spent with patients,” Quakenbush said. “Having the robots handle those deliveries is going to save us so much time.”

Long noted that performance indicators make it likely Hancock Health will expand the technology across its broader network of more than 30 locations in East Central Indiana.

The multi-phase rollout with Arrive AI and Ottonomy is designed to showcase how asynchronous automation can transform healthcare operations.

Arrive AI plans to leverage insights from Hancock Health to build a scalable framework integrating ground robotics, courier networks, and drones across its entire system. The company will lead design, deployment and optimization of this integrated network while ensuring regulatory compliance, operational feasibility and validated return on investment.

Benefits for financial institutions

The platform ensures regulatory compliance and auditability through semantic grounding, detailed audit trails, and robust compliance controls that reduce black-box risk and help meet transparency requirements. Its scalable, multitenant architecture enables seamless expansion across business units, geographies, and client bases.

Designed to work with both legacy banking systems and modern cloud infrastructures, it is capable of supporting bring-your-own LLMs and deployment in SaaS, on-premise, or hybrid environments – while its developer-friendly SDKs and APIs accelerate time to value for AI-powered products and services.

“Financial institutions face some of the world’s strictest data governance rules, and our goal is to make compliance simpler,” said Roman Stanek, CEO of GoodData. “This platform lets them innovate with AI while ensuring transparency, trust, and regulatory alignment, modernising client experiences and improving risk management without compromise.”

The tech behind GoodData’s AI

At the core is a developer-focused stack that balances compliance with innovation:

• MCP Server: Manages fast-moving financial processes in real time, while keeping governance in check.
