TSXV: YSK.P

/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.

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.

Manufacturing Category at 139th Canton Fair Presents Smarter, Lighter and More Connected Solutions

Published

on

By

GUANGZHOU, China, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the 139th Canton Fair, Manufacturing category presented a clear view of how industrial equipment is evolving to address efficiency, labor shortages, and sustainability goals. Across power equipment, machinery, automation systems, and industrial robots, exhibitors pointed to a common direction: smarter operation, stronger engineering performance, and deeper integration with digital manufacturing systems.

Industrial equipment is advancing towards intelligence with products emphasizing built-in sensing and automatic adjustment to enhance reliability and efficiency. Silent inverter generators, for example, can detect operating conditions and ambient temperature to regulate cooling for better fuel use and stability. Pumps and cleaning equipment with variable-frequency drives and integrated protection systems follow the same approach, prioritizing smooth operation, longer service life, and consistent output.

Lightweight, high-performance design has also become a priority across categories. Advances in materials and structural engineering are enabling major weight reductions without compromising power or durability. Aluminum-extrusion housings in three-phase asynchronous motors cut weight by up to 40% while improving heat dissipation and installation efficiency. Lightweight permanent-magnet submersible pumps delivered stronger flow stability despite smaller size and reduced weight.

AI-based visual inspection and quality control are also becoming essential. AI-powered optical inspection stations demonstrated full-process, high-speed inspection without relying on manual sampling. By turning experience-based judgment into standardized, repeatable rules, these systems help manufacturers improve scalability and consistency.

Industrial robots are taking on more active roles as well. Security patrol robot dogs and inspection robots are moving beyond monitoring to direct intervention, such as carrying fire-suppression modules for emergency response. This shift marks a broader move from passive observation to active execution in high-risk or labor-intensive environments.

Finally, more industrial devices are being designed as system nodes rather than standalone machines. Intelligent industrial gateways that combine data collection, protocol conversion, edge computing, and secure transmission show how equipment value increasingly depends on its ability to connect with enterprise-level digital systems.

The 139th Canton Fair vividly showcased the accelerated shift of industrial equipment toward intelligent and system-level development.

Province adds three unicorns, expands high-growth pipeline
Hangzhou accounts for 83% as new entrants and startups scale up

HANGZHOU, China, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Zhejiang’s roster of unicorn companies has expanded to 58 as of April 2026, highlighting the province’s growing role as a hub for emerging technologies and industrial upgrading.

The latest rankings, released at the 10th All Blossom Conference in Hangzhou on April 23, show companies spread across seven cities, including Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Jinhua, Shaoxing, Taizhou and Wenzhou.

While Hangzhou, Ningbo and Jiaxing remain the top three hubs, the broader distribution points to a more geographically balanced innovation landscape. The province’s unicorn count rose by three from a year earlier.

Hangzhou continues to dominate the landscape, home to 48 of Zhejiang’s unicorns, up from 44 last year—when it already accounted for roughly four out of every five such startups.

The annual rankings also include tiered lists of “future unicorns,” valued between $100 million and $1 billion, and early-stage “seed unicorns” worth $10 million to $100 million.

Together, they map a full pipeline of high-growth companies across sectors such as artificial intelligence, embodied intelligence, life sciences, new energy, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing and aerospace, and have become a key barometer of Zhejiang’s startup ecosystem.

Among the top 100 future unicorns, integrated circuits lead with 22 companies, followed by artificial intelligence and life sciences with 19 each. Advanced manufacturing accounts for 16 firms, new energy and materials 15, and next-generation information technology nine.

In the seed unicorn category, new energy and life sciences each count 22 companies, ahead of advanced manufacturing with 19, while AI, next-generation IT and semiconductors each have 11 firms, and aerospace-related companies total four.

Against that provincial backdrop, Hangzhou remains the clear center of gravity—continuing to generate both the largest share of unicorns and the deepest pipeline of emerging startups.

The city added eight companies to its unicorn ranks on April 23, bringing the total to 48, according to the same conference ranking.

The new entrants—Hailiang Technology Services, Geener Microelectronics, Spirit AI, Geespace, Sunrise, Seepin, DEEP Robotics and Simplexity Robotics—span sectors from semiconductors and robotics to commercial aerospace.

As of April, Hangzhou accounted for 83% of Zhejiang’s unicorns, up from 80% a year earlier, underscoring its outsized role in the province’s innovation economy.

The conference also released a list of 413 quasi-unicorns—companies typically valued between $100 million and $1 billion—including 50 new additions.

Several firms, such as Diagens Biotechnology, Manycore Tech, Mirxes, Promisemed, Saint Bella, Tide Pharmaceutical, Tongshifu and ISV, exited the list after scaling into unicorn status or completing initial public offerings.

Quasi-unicorns are concentrated in sectors aligned with Hangzhou’s broader “296X” industrial strategy. Life sciences lead with 118 firms, followed by next-generation information technology with 78 and AI and embodied intelligence with 50—together accounting for about 60% of the total.

The “296X” is an industrial cluster blueprint the city introduced in October 2025 in an effort to speed up the integration of technological and industrial innovation.

More than half of both unicorns and quasi-unicorns—255 companies—are classified as nationally recognized “specialized and refined” enterprises, including 20 unicorns and 235 quasi-unicorns, reflecting a structured pipeline of high-growth firms.

Since 2018, Hangzhou’s unicorn count has risen from 26 to 48, while quasi-unicorns have expanded from 105 to 413, underscoring sustained growth in its innovation-driven economy.

KUN Unveils AI Intelligent Strategy at Money20/20 Asia: Reconstructing Global Commercial Efficiency with “1-1-4-6” Layout

Published

on

By

BANGKOK, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the prestigious Money20/20 Asia held at QSNCC, KUN showcased its upgraded brand identity and launched the “1-1-4-6” Intelligent Strategic Blueprint. This milestone marks KUN’s comprehensive transition toward a globalized, full-stack, and intelligent ecosystem.

Dr. Louis Liu, Founder & Group CEO of KUN, stated at the launch: “While the convergence of Web2 and Web3 defines the current era, we believe the embedded ecosystem synergy of AI and Web3 is the inevitable future of commerce. Our evolution is an intelligent reconstruction of commercial efficiency. By leveraging decades of vertical payment expertise, we provide enterprise clients with full-stack, end-to-end payment and financial solutions. Through digital orchestration and operations, we deliver secure, compliant, and high-velocity transaction safeguards to empower global business growth.”

Money20/20 Roundtable: Compliance as the “Scaling Layer” for Institutional Adoption

At the “Bridging TradFi and DeFi” roundtable, Dr. Liu shared three key insights on the future of cross-border finance:

Asia as the Hub for Real-World Stablecoin Settlement: Asia has emerged as a critical hub for cross-border trade flows and stablecoin settlement, connecting high-growth emerging markets. Currently, 60% of the world’s on-chain stablecoin trade volume is centered in Asia, making it a primary corridor for capital flows between Asia, LATAM, Africa, and the Middle East.

Compliance as the “Scaling Layer”: The bottleneck for scaling digital payments is not technology or licensing, but the ability to embed jurisdictional compliance frameworks into business logic. Integrating AML and risk controls directly into the payment flow is the prerequisite for the explosion of global institutional applications.

Accelerating AI and Web3 Ecosystem Convergence: As AI agents increasingly enter commercial decision-making, payments are shifting from human-controlled to autonomous. Blockchain and stablecoins will serve as the default infrastructure for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) transactions.

Exhibition Interaction: From Platform Governance to Vertical Efficiency

At the main exhibition area, KUN demonstrated its dual-brand synergy through a new visual identity:

KUN: Positioned as the Trusted Vertical Digital Payments Platform for Real Economy, providing one-stop digital payments and scenario-based on-chain financial solutions.

YeeZ: A KUN Group brand specializing in 2B2C Global Corporate Card Issuance for global enterprises.
