NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 29, 2025 / Europe is reaching a pivotal moment in its industrial transformation. And Systemiq’s latest report, Fossil-Free Plastics: Driving Clean Industrial Leadership in Europe, commissioned by Vioneo, presents a compelling roadmap for reducing carbon emissions from plastic production by accelerating green methanol-to-olefins (MTO) and other fossil-free pathways. It’s a vital piece of the puzzle. But there’s a critical missing layer-one that can’t be filled by chemistry or policy alone.

That missing layer is infrastructure-not of pipes and plants, but of trust and traceability. Because scaling fossil-free plastics isn’t just about making new materials or announcing new targets-it’s about proving what something is, where it came from, and where it ends up. That’s no small feat. But it’s exactly what SMX Ltd. (NASDAQ:SMX) enables. In fact, it does all of that-and more.

The Systemiq report rightly emphasizes accelerating MTO as a viable, cost-competitive drop-in solution for polyethylene and polypropylene. It also identifies four essential drivers to achieve market readiness: early adopter customers, alignment with EU frameworks, harmonized carbon accounting, and smart public funding.

SMX Can Be the Digital Backbone of Circularity

What the report doesn’t mention-but urgently should-is that none of those initiatives can succeed without a verifiable way to track, audit, and certify materials from origin to shelf to end of life. That’s where SMX changes the game. It’s not just a breakthrough-it’s the enabling technology that ties it all together.

And the best part? SMX technology isn’t speculative. It’s operational right now for any company serious about turning circular economy goals into real, measurable action. In this space, SMX may be the only fully scalable platform that connects intention with accountability at the molecular level.

By permanently marking materials, including green methanol-based plastics, SMX enables seamless, end-to-end tracking across the entire supply chain. From production to post-consumer recovery, every link is traceable, transparent, and verifiable.

Imagine a polymer produced from forestry waste, converted through MTO, and encoded with a forensic signature at its origin. That material can then be audited in real time by brand owners, regulators, and recyclers at any stage of its lifecycle. It’s not just about compliance. It’s about building confidence.

And unlike outdated chain-of-custody systems, SMX provides tamper-proof verification. No guesswork. No greenwashing. Just proof.

Meeting the Market Where It’s Headed

Systemiq’s analysis makes one thing clear: even if Europe hits every recycling, reuse, and reduction target, the continent will still need around 28 million tonnes of virgin plastics annually by 2050. The solution isn’t to cut demand-it’s to decouple virgin production from fossil fuels. This means leveraging biomass, captured CO₂, and other renewable resources to meet demand while reducing emissions.

It’s a valid vision. But visions don’t raise capital. Data does.

To unlock the billions in projected investments and demand-side commitments, this transition needs more than ambition. It needs infrastructure investors can trust. SMX delivers that.

Its PCT system lets companies permanently mark, register, and monetize plastic on an open platform-turning environmental claims into certified, tradable assets. Think of it as carbon credits 2.0, only grounded in physical reality. This is especially timely as EU frameworks like the Digital Product Passport (DPP) and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) begin requiring exactly this level of verifiable visibility.

Building Trust in a Low-Trust Transition

Let’s not forget: Europe’s shift to fossil-free plastics is as much a credibility challenge as a technical one. Green methanol producers, polymer converters, and brand owners won’t just need to say their materials are sustainable-they’ll need to prove it.

SMX gives them that power. With real-time, tamper-proof traceability, every player in the value chain can operate with confidence. That’s how early-stage investments get de-risked. That’s how high-spec offtake agreements in food packaging and healthcare get signed. And that’s how entire markets get built, not just imagined.

Policy Can’t Carry the Load Alone

Systemiq’s recommendations for demand-side targets, harmonized metrics, and regulatory clarity are spot on. But they’re not enough. Without standardized, verifiable systems to track compliance, even the best-intentioned regulations become bottlenecks instead of catalysts.

Europe has the ambition. MTO and similar innovations have the chemistry. But only SMX offers the infrastructure to make both scalable, provable, and investable.

If Europe wants to lead in fossil-free plastics, it must also lead in how those materials are verified, measured, and trusted. Traceability isn’t optional-it’s foundational. SMX has already built the infrastructure. It’s proven. It’s available. The time for rhetoric is over. With SMX as an ally, time and words are better spent on implementation.

About SMX (Security Matters) Public Limited Company
As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 29, 2025 / American Critical Minerals Corp. (“American Critical Minerals” or the “Company“) (CSE:KCLI)(OTCQB:APCOF)(Frankfurt:2P3) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Agapito Associates, LLC (“Agapito” or “Agapito Associates“), to define a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101“) Exploration Target for Lithium at the Company’s Green River Project. Agapito will also update the Company’s existing Technical Report prepared by them and effective September 12, 2012. Such report was focused on the Potash potential of the Green River Project and included a 43-101 Exploration Target for Potash. However, given the emergence of the lithium brines in the Paradox Basin as a major potential source of lithium and the speed and success of development on neighboring projects, it makes sense to now include lithium as a key focus for the Company. Agapito’s work is expected to be completed early in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company will release the results as received.

Management Commentary

Simon Clarke President & CEO stated, “we are excited to expand our NI 43-101 Technical Report to encompass the large-scale lithium potential across our Project. This has been showcased in recent years by a number of players, but particularly Anson Resources which has a Project contiguous to the North of our Green River Project and a Project adjacent to the South. Anson has advanced both its Projects materially and recently announced a successful Pilot with Koch Technology and an MOU to develop a DLE Demonstration Plant at Green River with POSCO Holdings.

Historic oil and gas drill logs highlight that the same lithium brines are present across our Project Area with similar grades and potential and the advanced development work undertaken by Anson also helps de-risk our Project which is sandwiched between the two Anson Projects. American Critical Minerals is in a unique position as our Project contains both large scale Potash and Lithium targets for what we see as brown-field development moving forward.”

Agapito will carry out a comprehensive set of tasks to evaluate the potential size, grade, and economic viability of lithium-bearing deposits at the Green River Potash and Lithium Project. This work will include a detailed review of existing geological, geophysical, and geochemical data, along with hydrogeological studies focused on the lithium brine target layers-specifically assessing aquifer permeability, storability, and water chemistry. The evaluation will also involve resource modeling and preliminary economic assessments to help refine exploration targets and prioritize areas for further investigation. As part of this effort, Agapito will estimate the brine tonnage and lithium concentration for each of the identified lithium-bearing layers.

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 and 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 also has a 43-101 Exploration Target of 600 million to 1 billion tonnes of sylvinite (the most important source for the production of potash in North America) with average grades ranging from 19% to 29% KCL.**

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 exploratory 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. 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.***

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / July 29, 2025 / Highlander Silver Corp. (TSX:HSLV) (“Highlander Silver” or the “Company“) is pleased to report assay results from the first seven holes drilled to test a conceptual open pit target along a ridgeline where the Bonita vein system is exposed 10km to the south of the Ayelen underground deposit at its San Luis gold-silver project in Central Peru.

Highlights are listed below, with corresponding images in Figures 1-2 and detailed results in Tables 1-2.

Highlights

• The Bonita vein system is located 10km to the south and 700m lower in elevation than Ayelen. It is exposed in outcrop over an area of 800m by 200m and remains open in all directions

Mr. Daniel Earle, President and CEO, commented: “It’s encouraging to see consistent broad intersections of high grade gold-silver mineralization in shallow step out drilling, particularly from a starting point of only two historical holes. As we continue reporting results, we’re also working to lay the foundation of social support, regulatory permitting and knowledge won from systematic exploration to scale our operations to build momentum through the second half of the year.”

Figure 1 – Plan View of Bonita Vein System

Figure 2 – Image of core from BOD-004 at 35m grading 17.30 g/t Au and 15.10 g/t Ag

Table 1 – Assay Results

Note: Reported intervals are apparent widths as the full geometry of the mineralized structures has not yet been fully modelled. Assays were not capped, and composite intervals are calculated using a minimum weighted average of 0.5 g/t Au, diluted over a minimum core length that allows for internal dilution. Included high-grade intercepts are reported as any consecutive interval with grades greater than 5 g/t Au.

Table 2 – Collar Locations

Technical Information and Quality Control / Quality Assurance

All drilling was completed with HQ core. The drill core is split in half using a diamond saw. Core is logged by the Company’s geologist on site who outlines the intervals to be sampled. The maximum sample length is 1.5 meters and lengths are adjusted according to lithological and/or mineralogical contacts.

After sawing, one-half of the core is kept on site in core boxes, and the other half is submitted for analysis. Individual sample bags are sealed and placed into larger bags, which are then sealed and marked with the contents.

Samples are transported by Highlander Silver personnel to ALS Peru S.A. (“ALS“) located in Lima, Peru, where they are prepared and analyzed. ALS is independent of the Company.

In ALS, the entire sample is crushed to approximately 80% passing through a 2mm sieve. A 500 g fraction is pulverized. Gold concentration is determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge with an AA finish (Au-AA23). Silver, lead, copper, and zinc, along with other elements, are analyzed by ICP utilizing a four-acid digestion (ME-ICP61). Over-limit samples for Au (10 g/t Au) follow gravitational finishing Au-GRA21 (30g sample). Over-limit samples for Ag (100 g/t Ag) follow gravitational finishing Ag-GRA21 (30g sample).

The internal QA/QC program includes the submission of field duplicates (1/4 core), pulp and coarse reject duplicates, and the insertion of commercial standards and blanks (coarse and fine). Control samples account for more than 15% of the total samples sent, in addition to the laboratory’s internal quality assurance programs.

The Company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.

The scientific and technical information, including the drillhole data, has been verified by Dr. Sergio Gelcich. This verification involves data validation and quality assurance procedures, such as reviewing logging directly in front of the core, analyzing database integrity, conducting quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) for assays, and cross-checking the original lab certificates.

Qualified Person

The scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Sergio Gelcich, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration, Highlander Silver, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Strategic IP expansion protects federated learning technology driving pharma partnerships, biosecurity initiatives, and precision medicine growth

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2025 / Renovaro (NASDAQ:RENB), a precision-medicine technology company, today announced multiple U.S. patent allowances that significantly strengthen its competitive position in biomedical artificial intelligence. The new patents, including U.S. Application No. 18/058,732 for unbiased drug discovery predictions, expand Renovaro’s growing IP portfolio anchored by foundational patents U.S. No. 11,379,757 and recently awarded Application No. 18/058,752.

Key Value Drivers:

• Protected Competitive Moat in federated learning for healthcare, with continuation filings extending IP coverage by establishing broad protection around harmonizing biomedical data and applying frameworks for AI-powered prediction of both beneficial and harmful treatment effects.

• Enhances Partnership Opportunities by supporting high-value applications such as high-fidelity integration of heterogeneous datasets – including electronic health records (EHRs), imaging, genomics, and trial data – across distributed environments, directly enabling applications in drug discovery, clinical trials, rare disease research, and precision medicine.

• Breakthrough in Federated and Secure AI Learning: The newly issued patent covers a novel federated learning architecture that enables advanced AI model training across decentralized healthcare datasets – such as those held by hospitals, research institutions, or biopharma partners – without requiring the exchange of sensitive raw data. This innovation provides robust bidirectional security, protecting both the underlying data sources and the integrity of the resulting AI models, and positions the company at the forefront of privacy-preserving AI in healthcare

• Scalable and Reproducible AI Models designed for real-world deployment across heterogeneous data environments – an essential capability for future pharmaceutical and clinical partners.

• Robust IP Pipeline: Multiple continuation filings underway, providing sustained innovation and patent coverage over time.

Renovaro’s newly allowed patents include innovations titled “Methods, Systems, and Frameworks for Unbiased Data in Drug Discovery Predictions” and “Methods, Systems, and Frameworks for Federated Learning While Ensuring Bi-Directional Data Security“. These methods address critical pain points in biomedical AI, such as data sparsity, source heterogeneity, and lack of model transferability – paving the way for reproducible AI models in precision medicine. These filings also deepen the company’s IP foundation by addressing key bottlenecks in the biomedical AI space – specifically, the integration of heterogeneous data such as EHRs, genomics, imaging, and clinical trial results into standardized pipelines capable of producing clinically relevant, reproducible insights.

These capabilities are particularly critical for applications in rare disease research, trial optimization, and therapeutic targeting – areas with strong unmet needs and have high-value partnership potential.

“Expanding our IP footprint in federated learning and AI-based data harmonization directly supports our long-term vision: to be the platform of choice for next-generation biomedical research and precision medicine,” said David Weinstein, CEO, Renovaro.

With additional patents pending and a portfolio designed to scale with evolving interoperability standards and regulatory demands, Renovaro continues to solidify its position as a platform company with durable, defensible technology in a market estimated to reach over $20B by 2030.
