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

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 26, 2024 /CNW/ – Space Kingdom Digital Capital Corp. (the “Company”), a capital pool company (“CPC”) listed on the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the “TSXV”), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated September 25, 2024 (the “Letter of Intent”) with Supchalernphunmai Mining Sole Co., Ltd (“Supcha Mining”), an arm’s length mining company incorporated in Laos. Supcha Mining currently holds mining and processing licenses in connection with the Supchalernphunmai Mine located in the Houaphanh Province of eastern Laos.

The Letter of Intent sets forth the basic terms and conditions upon which the Company and Supcha Mining  will combine their business operations resulting in a reverse takeover of the Company by Supcha Mining  and its shareholders (the “Proposed Transaction”), which is intended to constitute the Company’s “Qualifying Transaction”, as such term is defined in the TSXV Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies (“Policy 2.4”), resulting in the combination of the Company and Supcha Mining (the “Resulting Issuer”). Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, and subject to receipt of all requisite approvals, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer’s common shares (the “Resulting Issuer Shares”) will be listed and posted for trading on the TSXV as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer and will carry on the business of Supcha Mining.

Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, the Company, or a subsidiary thereof, is proposing to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Supcha Mining, in exchange for common shares of the Company, at an exchange ratio to be determined upon the completion of further legal, financial, and operational due diligence.

About the Supcha Mining

Supcha Mining is a company incorporated in Laos and holds mining and processing licenses in connection with the Supchalernphunmai Mine located in the Houaphanh Province of eastern Laos. The production process of Supcha Mining involves all aspects of the mining value chain, from exploration, planning and building, mining the mineral, processing and blending, and finally shipping and selling the material to various countries. Supcha Mining aims to utilize efficient mining and processing techniques that enable low cost of production while seeking to maintain internationally recognised standards for safety and environmental management.

The Transaction

The acceptance of the Letter of Intent is being followed by good faith negotiations of definitive documentation‎ (the “Definitive Agreement”), among the parties setting forth the detailed terms of the Proposed Transaction, including market valuation which shall be used to determine the final percentages of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares that will be represented by shareholders of Space Kingdom and Supcha Mining,‎ at the closing of the Transaction. The Definitive Agreement will replace the Letter of Intent and will include the basic understandings set out in the Letter of Intent and such other terms and conditions as are customary for transactions of similar nature and magnitude of the Proposed Transaction. The Proposed Transaction is intended to proceed by way of three-cornered amalgamation or such other transaction structure ‎as the parties may determine after receipt by the parties of such ‎tax, corporate and securities law advice ‎as each party may receive from their respective advisors. Additional information respecting the structure and valuation will be provided in subsequent press releases, once available.

The Proposed Transaction is not anticipated to be a “Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction”, as that term is defined in Policy 2.4 and consequently, it is expected that the Proposed Transaction will not be subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders. 

The shares of the Resulting Issuer issued to Principals (within the meaning of the TSXV’s policies) of the Resulting Issuer will be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with the TSXV’s policies. In addition, the shares of the Resulting Issuer issued to other shareholders of Supcha Mining may be subject to resale restrictions as required by the TSXV’s policies.

Closing of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including but not limited to satisfactory due diligence investigations, the negotiation and execution of the Definitive Agreement, receipt of all required shareholder, regulatory and third-party approvals and consents, including that of the TSXV, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, as well as completion of the Concurrent Financing (discussed below). The Proposed Transaction cannot close until the required approvals are obtained. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Concurrent Financing

The Proposed Transaction is subject to completion of a private placement financing (the “Concurrent Financing”) for aggregate gross proceeds of such amount as required in order to meet the listing requirements under the policies of TSXV. The securities issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financing will be immediately exchanged on closing of the Transaction for shares of the Resulting Issuer at the exchange ratio as may be mutually agreed upon between the Company and Supcha Mining. The final terms as to the structure of the Concurrent Financing and any commission and/or finder’s fees are subject to the final agreement between the Company and Supcha Mining and will be provided in subsequent news releases.

Sponsorship

The Proposed Transaction is subject to the sponsorship requirements of the TSXV unless a waiver from those requirements is granted. The Company intends to apply for a waiver from the sponsorship requirements; however, there can be no assurance that a waiver will be obtained. If a waiver from the sponsorship requirements is not obtained, a sponsor will be identified at a later date. An agreement to act as sponsor in respect of the Proposed Transaction should not be construed as any assurance with respect to the merits of the Proposed Transaction or the likelihood of its completion. Additional information respecting sponsorship will be provided once available.

Filing Statement

In connection with the Proposed Transaction and pursuant to the requirements of the TSXV, the Company intends to file an information circular/filing statement on its issuer profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.com), which will contain relevant details regarding the Proposed Transaction, the Company, Supcha Mining, and the Resulting Issuer.

Additional Information

Additional information concerning the Proposed Transaction, Concurrent Financing, finders’ fee or commission, details of any financing arrangement, deposits, advances or loan, as applicable, the Company, Supcha Mining and the Resulting Issuer, including financial information of Supcha Mining and the proposed board and management of the Resulting Issuer, will be provided in subsequent news releases, including at the time of execution of the Definitive Agreement, and, as applicable, in Space Kingdom’s management information circular to be filed in connection with the Transaction, which will be available under Space Kingdom’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Trading in the common shares of the Company has been halted in connection with the announcement of the Proposed Transaction.

Best AI Productivity Tools for Creators (2026): CapCut Recognized for Faster Video and Image Workflows by Software Experts

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, July 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Artificial intelligence continues to reshape how digital content is produced, with creators relying on AI tools like CapCut to handle editing, asset generation, and repetitive production tasks that once required several separate applications. As these tools mature, software reviews are placing more weight on workflow efficiency alongside creative output.

Best AI Productivity Tools for Creators

Seedance 2.0 – an AI video generation model that creates videos from text prompts and image inputsPhoto to 3D – an AI tool that transforms 2D photos into images with realistic three-dimensional depth and effects

The use of AI has expanded across independent creators, marketing teams, educators, and small businesses producing content for websites, social media, online stores, and digital campaigns. Rather than using AI for a single task, many creative professionals now incorporate it throughout the production process, from generating concepts and visuals to refining finished content. This has encouraged software reviewers to test how well platforms support complete creative workflows instead of evaluating individual features in isolation.

Software Experts has included CapCut among its 2026 selections for AI productivity tools for creators, citing the platform’s collection of AI-powered features that support faster video and image production. The review examined how integrated AI tools can simplify common creative tasks across video editing, image generation, music creation, and visual enhancement.

What Is Driving Interest in AI Productivity Tools?

Content creators are producing more material than ever across short-form video platforms, social media, online stores, blogs, newsletters, and marketing campaigns. A single project may require multiple image formats, several video versions, captions, background edits, and audio, all within a short production window.

Many creators also repurpose one piece of content into several formats. A long-form video may be edited into short clips for social platforms, paired with custom graphics, accompanied by AI-generated music, and published alongside promotional images. Completing these tasks manually often requires switching between multiple editing applications.

This has encouraged software developers to introduce AI features that reduce manual editing while keeping creators in control of the finished product. Instead of switching between several applications, many creators now prefer platforms that support multiple stages of production within the same workspace.

How Does CapCut Support Video and Image Workflows?

CapCut offers AI tools that assist throughout the creative process, from generating visual assets to preparing finished content for publishing.

Among the tools included are:

Seedance 2.0 for generating AI videos from text promptsGPT Image 2 for creating images from written descriptionsSeedream for AI-generated artwork and creative visualsSeedmusic for producing original music from text promptsAI Image Extender for expanding images while preserving visual consistencyPhoto to 3D for adding depth effects to imagesAI Background Removal for separating subjects from image backgrounds with minimal editing

Together, these features support projects ranging from social media posts and marketing materials to promotional videos, educational content, presentations, and visual concepts, allowing creators to complete more production tasks within a single platform.

Why Are Integrated AI Platforms Receiving More Coverage?

Earlier AI tools often specialized in a single task, such as image generation or video editing. Newer platforms are bringing these functions together to let creators complete more of their work without transferring files between multiple services.

This type of workflow can shorten production time while helping maintain visual consistency across different content formats. It can also reduce the amount of time spent exporting files, reformatting assets, or rebuilding projects in separate applications.

As a result, software evaluations are increasingly examining how efficiently creators can complete everyday production work. Instead of concentrating solely on the number of AI features available, reviewers are also looking at how those tools function together during real-world creative projects.

What Did Software Experts Evaluate?

The review looked at AI tools that support practical creative work across multiple production stages rather than concentrating on a single feature.

Areas included in the evaluation included:

AI-assisted video generationText-to-image creationAI-generated musicBackground removalImage expansionThree-dimensional visual effectsEditing tools that support faster creative workflows

The review also examined how these features work together during typical content production rather than evaluating each tool separately. This reflects the way many creators now build content using interconnected AI tools instead of isolated editing software.

What Does This Mean for Creators?

Creative software continues to incorporate AI across more stages of content production, giving creators additional ways to streamline editing while maintaining creative control. As publishing schedules become more demanding, workflow efficiency has entered software evaluations alongside editing quality and creative flexibility.

Software Experts’ 2026 review places CapCut among AI productivity tools supporting faster video and image workflows through its collection of AI-powered creative features. As AI continues to influence digital content production, reviews are placing emphasis on how effectively platforms help creators complete everyday projects from concept through final publication.
