Human-Driven Translation Firm Warns CEOs, Governments and Lawmakers of Catastrophic Risks

CHEYENNE, WYOMING / ACCESS Newswire / August 28, 2025 / ASTA-USA Translation Services, Inc., a premier human-driven translation and localization provider since 1987, today issued a global warning to corporations, law firms, and governments: AI-generated translation is a ticking time bomb.

As industries increasingly turn to machine-driven translation platforms, they often overlook the catastrophic risks of mistranslated contracts, compliance documents, medical texts, and international negotiations.

“One mistranslated clause can void a billion-dollar deal, sink a merger or spark a diplomatic incident,” said Alain J. Roy, founder of ASTA-USA. “We’ve already witnessed it. AI translation doesn’t recognize nuance, culture or context – and that failure is costing organizations their reputations, money, and in some cases, lives.”

The Next Corporate Scandal – Real-World Proof

ASTA-USA warns that AI translation failures will soon dominate headlines the same way corporate fraud, cyber breaches, and product recalls have in the past decade. Unlike those crises, however, AI translation errors are often invisible until it’s too late.

Medical Misdiagnosis Leads to $71M Lawsuit

In one of the most infamous U.S. medical translation errors, the Spanish word “intoxicado” was mistranslated as “intoxicated” instead of “poisoned.” The error resulted in catastrophic misdiagnosis and lifelong disability, ultimately costing the hospital $71 million in damages. A single mistranslation can destroy both human lives and financial stability.

High-Stakes Finance at Risk

Mergers & acquisitions involving cross-border entities are particularly vulnerable. ASTA-USA’s legal translation experts warn that a single mistranslated clause in Mandarin or other high-context languages could alter binding obligations, derail negotiations or invite costly litigation. In global finance, even a “minor” AI error could unravel a billion-dollar deal.

Government Rejections of AI Translations

U.S. immigration and asylum cases have already been compromised by AI translation errors. In several instances, AI tools failed to accurately process Pashto and Dari applications, leading to denials or delays for refugees. U.S. agencies, including USCIS, explicitly refuse machine-translated documents because they cannot meet legal standards of certification, accuracy or confidentiality.

“This is not a hypothetical risk,” Roy continued. “It’s happening right now. But companies are too dazzled by the speed of AI to see the financial and reputational wreckage in its wake.”

ASTA-USA’s Human Guarantee

ASTA-USA has delivered flawless human translation and verification services across every industry sector. Its ExAct™ three-step quality process – translation, independent proofreading, and executive verification – ensures no contract, compliance filing or government document has ever been refused or challenged.

ASTA-USA employs more than 700 certified linguists, each with over 12 years of specialized expertise. Clients include Fortune 500 corporations, top law firms, and government agencies that demand accuracy, confidentiality, and cultural precision.

A Call to Action

ASTA-USA urges CEOs, general counsels, compliance officers, and lawmakers to re-examine their reliance on AI translation before the next major corporate scandal unfolds.

“AI translates words. Humans translate meaning. And when meaning is lost, so is trust, law, and reputation,” said Roy. “The time to act is now.”

About ASTA-USA Translation Services, Inc.

ASTA-USA Translation Services, Inc. is built on a legacy that began in 1987, when founder Alain J. Roy first provided specialized language translation services alongside his business management consulting practice. Established later as its own dedicated firm, ASTA-USA continues to provide premier human-driven translation and localization services to corporations, law firms, and government agencies worldwide. The company’s proprietary ExAct™ verification process has set the gold standard for accuracy, speed, and confidentiality in global communication. For more information, visit ASTA-USA.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) that relate to the Company’s current expectations and views of future events. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as “will likely result”, “are expected to”, “expects”, “will continue”, “is anticipated”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimated”, “intends”, “plans”, “forecast”, “projection”, “strategy”, “objective” and “outlook”) are not historical facts and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements herein include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the potential impact of the drill results, flow testing and pressure testing on the next iteration of the resource estimate; the potential of CO₂ as a valuable by-product of the Company’s future helium production; and the potential for future wells. Forward-looking statements may involve estimates and are based upon assumptions made by management of the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company’s capital cost estimates, management’s expectations regarding the availability of capital to fund the Company’s future capital and operating requirements and the ability to obtain all requisite regulatory approvals.

No reserves have been assigned in connection with the Company’s property interests to date, given their early stage of development. The future value of the Company is therefore dependent on the success or otherwise of its activities, which are principally directed toward the future exploration, appraisal and development of its assets, and potential acquisition of property interests in the future. Un-risked Contingent and Prospective Helium Volumes have been defined at the Topaz Project. However, estimating helium volumes is subject to significant uncertainties associated with technical data and the interpretation of that data, future commodity prices, and development and operating costs. There can be no guarantee that the Company will successfully convert its helium volume to reserves and produce that estimated volume. Estimates may alter significantly or become more uncertain when new information becomes available due to for example, additional drilling or production tests over the life of eld. As estimates change, development and production plans may also vary. Downward revision of helium volume estimates may adversely affect the Company’s operational or financial performance.

Helium volume estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. These estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment or, even if valid when originally calculated, may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. As further information becomes available through additional drilling and analysis the estimates are likely to change. Any adjustments to volume could affect the Company’s exploration and development plans which may, in turn, affect the Company’s performance. The process of estimating helium resources is complex and requires significant decisions and assumptions to be made in evaluating the reliability of available geological, geophysical, engineering, and economic date for each property. Different engineers may make different estimates of resources, cash flows, or other variables based on the same available data.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward- looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, that Pulsar may be unsuccessful in drilling commercially productive wells; the uncertainty of resource estimation; operational risks in conducting exploration, including that flow-testing, pressure testing and drill costs may be higher than estimates; commodity prices; health, safety and environmental factors; and other factors set forth above as well as under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements and Market and Industry Data” and “Risk Factors” in the AIM Admission Document published on October 14, 2024 found on the Company’s web site at https://pulsarhelium.com/investors/aim-rule-26/default.aspx and the Company’s Annual Information Form dated as of July 31, 2025 found on the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Forward-looking statements contained in this news release are as of the date of this news release, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them or assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. No assurance can be given that the forward-looking statements herein will prove to be correct and, accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements contained in this news release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

In vitro findings reveal Telomir-1’s dual action: targeting DNA methylation switches and cutting into the Wnt “fuel line” that drives cancer growth.

MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / August 28, 2025 / Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:TELO), a preclinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies that target the root mechanisms of cancer, aging, and age-related diseases, today announced new in vitro results that expand understanding of its lead drug candidate, Telomir-1.

In studies conducted by Eurofins Discovery, Telomir-1 was shown to potently inhibit UTX (KDM6A), an enzyme that acts like an “eraser” of chemical tags on DNA packaging proteins. These tags, known as DNA methylation and histone marks, are part of the body’s system for deciding which genes are turned on or off – much like switches on a circuit board.

When UTX activity is abnormal, it can silence protective genes and activate harmful ones, a pattern commonly seen in cancer, autoimmune disease, and neurodegeneration. Beyond cancer, UTX has also been linked to the biology of aging itself. Studies show that UTX influences stem cell renewal, reprogramming, and differentiation – meaning it helps control how effectively tissues can repair themselves as we age. UTX works in close connection with DNA methylation, and when this coordination breaks down it can lead to epigenetic drift – the gradual loss of proper gene regulation that occurs with aging and underlies many chronic diseases, including cancer, autism spectrum disorder, neurodegeneration, and metabolic dysfunction.

Because UTX has long been considered undruggable, Telomir-1’s ability to block it is a major step forward. By doing so, Telomir-1 may help reset faulty DNA methylation patterns, restore proper gene control, support stem cell function, and counteract age-related epigenetic drift – reawakening the body’s natural defenses against both disease and decline.

“Everything from cancer to aging to autism has been linked to faulty DNA methylation. Telomir-1 is capable to jointly reset several of those methylation patterns – which could make it one of the first drugs to address the root biology driving so many diseases,” said Erez Aminov, CEO of Telomir.

Extending the Epigenetic Reset Profile

As previously reported, Telomir-1 was also shown to inhibit other faulty epigenetic enzymes that play critical roles in DNA methylation, gene regulation, cancer, neurodegeneration, metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and aging:

• FBXL10 (KDM2B) – Frequently overactive in aggressive cancers such as leukemia, breast, and pancreatic, where it allows tumors to maintain “stem-like” properties that drive relapse and treatment resistance. FBXL10 also influences DNA methylation dynamics and is linked to metabolic and inflammatory pathways.

• FBXL11 (KDM2A) – Elevated in lung, gastric, and ovarian cancers, where it helps tumors grow and evade immune detection. FBXL11 regulates chromatin and DNA methylation patterns and has also been linked in the literature to autism spectrum disorder and glucose control dysfunction, underscoring its role in both cancer and metabolic disease.

• JMJD3 (KDM6B) – A major regulator of inflammation and tumor progression, overexpressed in prostate, glioma, and ovarian cancers. By altering histone marks that interact with DNA methylation, JMJD3 fuels metastasis and helps cancers escape immune attack. Beyond oncology, JMJD3 drives chronic inflammation in autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases such as lupus and Alzheimer’s, by switching on cytokines like IL-6 and IL-4.

In those earlier studies, Telomir-1 also reactivated silenced tumor suppressor genes such as STAT1 and TMS1 in prostate cancer models by reversing abnormal DNA methylation, providing functional evidence of its ability to reset faulty gene programs.

Taken together, these findings – now strengthened by Telomir-1’s new UTX data – support its emerging profile as a broad epigenetic reset therapy that may:

• Help reawaken tumor suppressor genes (STAT1, TMS1).

• Block cancer’s growth enablers (FBXL10/11).

• Dial down inflammation (JMJD3/UTX).

• Support more youthful patterns of gene regulation across multiple disease pathways.

Selectivity Advantage

Importantly, Telomir-1 did not show any activity against GCN5L2 (KAT2A), a broad acetyltransferase enzyme, whose inhibition is associated with widespread toxicity. This selective profile may allow Telomir-1 to achieve its effects with a cleaner safety margin than many existing epigenetic drugs.

Dr. Itzchak Angel, Chief Scientific Advisor at Telomir, added “UTX and JMJD3 have long been labeled undruggable despite their central role in cancer, inflammation, and aging. The fact that Telomir-1 engages both enzymes with high potency, while sparing opposing targets such as GCN5L2, is a significant mechanistic breakthrough. It highlights Telomir-1’s potential to reprogram gene control selectively and safely.”

Added Anti-Cancer Synergy: Cutting Off Cancer’s Fuel Line – With a Safety Advantage

Telomir-1 also demonstrated low-level inhibitory activity against Tankyrases (PARP5A and PARP5B). Tankyrases regulate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway – one of the body’s key growth-control circuits that cancers often hijack as a “fuel line” for unchecked growth and treatment resistance.

Unlike potent Tankyrase inhibitors, which can cause excessive telomere shortening and systemic toxicity, Telomir-1’s modest Tankyrase inhibition may provide just enough activity to cut off cancer’s fuel line without disrupting healthy telomere biology.

Importantly, previously reported results in a validated Werner Syndrome accelerated-aging model showed that Telomir-1 significantly elongated telomeres beyond healthy levels while also reversing abnormal DNA methylation, restoring youthful gene regulation, and resetting the body’s epigenetic clock. This distinction reinforces Telomir-1’s differentiated safety profile – demonstrating that, unlike other Tankyrase-targeting drugs, it may protect and lengthen telomeres rather than shorten them.

Why This Matters and Potential Implications

The implications of this mechanism are broad:

• Cancer: May help reawaken tumor-fighting genes and inhibit pathways that drive proliferation, metastasis, and resistance – while safely tapping into Wnt/Tankyrase signaling to cut off cancer’s “fuel line.”

• Autoimmune & Inflammatory Disorders: May help calm runaway immune responses by dialing down inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-4.

• Neurodegeneration: May help reduce harmful neuroinflammation and restore balance in brain-related gene programs relevant to Alzheimer’s and other CNS disorders.

• Autism & Neurodevelopment: Abnormal DNA methylation patterns have been associated with autism spectrum disorder, and Telomir-1’s inhibition of FBXL11 – a methylation-linked enzyme tied to neurodevelopment – suggests potential to help restore healthier gene regulation in ASD and related conditions.

• Metabolic Dysfunction: May help improve glucose control and insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes by rebalancing metabolic gene networks.

• Healthy Aging: By shifting gene programs back toward youthful patterns – and extending telomeres in vivo – Telomir-1 may one day support healthier aging and potentially aspects of age reversal.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release, statements of Telomir’s management or advisors related thereto, and the statements contained in the news story linked in this release contain “forward-looking statements,” which are statements other than historical facts made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the potential use of the data from our studies, our ability to develop and commercialize Telomir-1 for specific indications, and the safety of Telomir-1.

Any forward-looking statements in this press release are based on Telomir’s current expectations, estimates and projections only as of the date of this release. These and other risks concerning Telomir’s programs and operations are described in additional detail in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which are on file with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov. Telomir explicitly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except to the extent required by law.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 28, 2025 / The global plastics system is broken-and everyone in the supply chain knows it. Let’s be clear up front- this article isn’t about blame. And it shouldn’t be. Regulators have set ambitious targets, corporations are investing billions, and NGOs continue to raise awareness. Their intent is genuine and deserves recognition. In fact, thanks to these efforts, demand for recycled plastics has never been higher.

But here’s the catch: rising demand hasn’t translated into rising results, which should be the outcome. After all, supply is abundant, with millions of tonnes of plastic waste worldwide, more than enough to serve multiple industries at once. Despite that, recycling rates remain stuck in the single digits. That makes it clear the problem isn’t availability or ambition. It’s a system built too narrowly to connect abundant supply with real, verifiable demand.

That design flaw – not a lack of effort or intent – is why circularity remains out of reach. By treating plastics as if they were a single material and focusing almost exclusively on packaging, the system leaves entire industries unserved. And that’s exactly where SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) steps in – bringing a technological toolbox capable of redesigning the system to capture and monetize all grades and types of plastics. By embedding molecular proof directly into all types of materials, SMX reconnects waste with demand, turning what the old system excluded into a new standard that the entire plastics economy can build on and profit from.

Follow the Plastics Money Trail

The numbers tell the story. The recycled plastics market is worth between $50 billion and $55 billion today. Of that, rPET-the headline material in bottles and packaging-represents only $12.9 billion. That leaves a massive $38B-$43B dollar addressable market locked in non-packaging polymers. These are the plastics used in cars, buildings, textiles, and electronics-the real engines of global demand-yet they’ve been largely ignored by the existing system.

Not because the industries don’t want recycled content. Not because recyclers aren’t ready to supply it. But because the system was designed too narrowly to track, verify, and prove it at scale. SMX changes that equation. With SMX’s molecular-level markers that survive use, recycling, and even chemical processing, every polymer-whether food-grade PET or industrial composites-becomes its own Global Plastics Passport. In other words, proof is no longer fragile or externally applied; it’s intrinsic to the material.

This is material efficiency in action. And it makes winners all around. Regulators get a compliance tool they can trust. Brands gain defensible proof for sustainability claims. Industrial buyers finally access the recycled inputs they need with certainty. That’s not all. Waste becomes an asset. Compliance becomes profitability. Circularity becomes measurable. And through the Plastic Cycle Token, SMX converts that proof into something every player wants-a financial instrument that is tradable, monetizable, and rewarding to every player in the loop.

Proof, Incentives, and Leadership

Best said, SMX is rewriting the market dynamic. Need proof? Consider this: a packaging producer does more than check boxes; it creates a portfolio of verified assets. An automaker doesn’t just comply with recycled content quotas; it tokenizes inputs that strengthen its balance sheet. A construction supplier doesn’t simply source recycled feedstock; it unlocks profitability from what already exists in the system. All of this happens because SMX is turning recycled plastics into a currency of value, not just a cost of compliance.

And look no further than Singapore and ASEAN, which are at the forefront of this transition. By treating circularity as an operational priority and backing it with working, not pilot-stage digital frameworks, like SMX’s, they are proving what leadership by example looks like. Their ambition is real. And as importantly, they are willing to show that ambition alone won’t cut it. They recognize the need for a technological, digitally-focused, and molecular-based toolbox. SMX provides it: molecular proof, material efficiency, and the monetization layer that finally makes circularity pay.

Said differently, Singapore and ASEAN recognize that the old system wasn’t short on ambition-it was short on design. And design is exactly what SMX provides. Not through tags, stickers, or registries, but by embedding intelligence directly into the material and linking it to economic reward. That shift rewires the entire model: circularity no longer depends on promises, it runs on proof – and proof that pays. With SMX leading the way, circularity becomes measurable, profitable, and scalable. That scalable incentive is what will draw in hundreds more players (countries) worldwide, transforming today’s regional leadership into a global movement.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 28, 2025 / CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (“CoTec” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of its 2025 sonic drilling and bulk sampling testing programme at the Lac Jeannine Iron Tailings Project, Québec, Canada (“Lac Jeannine”, or the “Project”). The Company has engaged Corem to complete the metallurgical testing and has commenced a process to appoint a EPCM provider for the Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study is expected to commence in Q3, 2025.

Julian Treger, CoTec CEO commented; “CoTec has progressed its discussions with strategic partners to move rapidly onto preparation of a Feasibility Study with the support of all stakeholders, including the Government of Québec, First Nations and other interested parties. The results from this next phase of drilling and bulk sample collection will allow CoTec to increase its current resource estimate for Lac Jeannine and potentially unlock additional material outside of the tailings dam to reprocess.

The Company is very excited to commence a Feasibility Study regarding the recovery and production of critical mineral iron ore concentrate at competitive cost structures which can deliver high purity iron concentrates for the green steel industry. The Lac Jeannine Project offers great potential for the resource industry to recover the economic benefit of large Fe tailing sites.”

In June 2024 CoTec announced the completion of an initial Mineral Resource Estimate (the “MRE”) and positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Project^[i]. Based on open-pit extraction methods and the production of a gravity concentrate via conventional processing techniques and at a discount rate of 7.0% (and based solely on the MRE), the pre-tax NPV is US$93.6M, and its IRR is 38%, and the after tax NPV is US$59.5M, and its IRR is 30%. As part of the Feasibility Study, the Company is including the application of the Salter Cyclone Multi-Gravity Separators (“MGS”) technology for the recovery of additional iron ore from the Project.

The completed drilling targeted upgrading the existing Inferred Mineral Resource of 73 million tonnes (Mt) at 6.7% total Fe for 4.9 Mt of contained total Fe to Indicated and to extend the Project to a larger portion of the Adjacent Tailings. The inclusion of the Adjacent Tailings has the potential to almost double the life of mine with no additional capex unlocking substantial upside potential.

Drilling Highlights

• An infill and expansion programme totalling 572 meters of sonic drilling for 12 holes, drilled up to 58 meters, was completed on the historical tailings of the previous Lac Jeannine iron ore mine operated by the Québec Cartier Mining Company between 1959 and 1985.

• Additional bulk sampling has also been concluded, a total of 7 tonnes of tailings and waste rock dumps were recovered to assess their iron content and has been shipped to Corem’s testing facility in Québec.

• Bulk sampling and assay results are expected in Q4 2025.

The Independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 for the Lac Jeannine Mineral Resource, Mr. Christian Beaulieu, P.Geo., is a member of l’Ordre des géologues du Québec (#1072). The Qualified Person has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical content of this announcement relating to the Lac Jeannine Mineral Resource.
