Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 28, 2025) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from fifteen new drill holes completed at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The fifteen holes represent step-outs below the existing geological model and the historic O'Brien Gold Mine and are part of an ongoing 140,000-metre drill program designed to test the overall scope of gold mineralization at the Project (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025). All holes intersected gold mineralization in characteristic quartz-sulphide-gold veins within alteration zones, and thirteen of the holes returned intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's existing mineral resources.Today's results include significant intercepts in three separate step-out locations (Figures 1 & 2), each of which has significance for the potential future growth of the Project's mineral resources. These are:Between Trends #1 and #2 at 1,000 Metres Vertical DepthOB-25-371W5 intersected 10.50 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 6.5 metres, including 14.90 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and including 16.95 g/t Au over 1.0 metreOB-25-371W4 intersected 11.25 g/t Au over 2.5 metres, including 17.80 g/t Au over 1.5 metresOB-25-371W6 intersected 4.51 g/t Au over 9.0 metres, including 10.70 g/t Au over 1.5 metresBeneath the Historic "O'Brien Mine West" at 1,000 Metres Vertical Depth OB-25-376W1 intersected 9.16 g/t Au over 2.5 metres, including 14.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metresOB-25-376 intersected 8.05 g/t Au over 2.50 metres, including 15.75 g/t Au over 1.0 metreBeneath the Historic "O'Brien Mine" at 1,100 Metres Vertical DepthOB-24-337W11 intersected 7.00 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, including 12.60 g/t Au over 1.5 metres, and 13.00 g/t Au over 1.50 metresMatt Manson, President & CEO, commented: "Today's drill results illustrate the extension of classic, high-grade O'Brien gold mineralization across a broad front. We are reporting the first high-grade intercepts beneath the western portion of the historic mine, with drill hole OB-25-376W1 extending mineralization 160 metres below the former mine in this area. Drill hole OB-24-337W11 demonstrates continuity of high-grade mineralization below the main stope of the historic mine. Of particular note, drill holes OB-25-371W4 to W6 returned high-grade mineralization on the western edge of the deep extension of Trend #2, close to the observed extension of Trend #1 (Figures 1&2). This suggests that the apparent gap between these two trends is a function of drill coverage rather than geology, as we have suspected. Closing this gap with new drilling is a priority. With a fully-funded 140,000-metre drill program ongoing and an increase in rigs from the current four to an eventual eight, we are casting a wide net at O'Brien and seeing consistent success."Figure 1: Longitudinal Vertical Section and Plan View of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Today's Drill Holes IllustratedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/272164_3fafb92ae4c30b1d_002full.jpgNotes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:The O'Brien Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate effective May 6, 2025 ("MRE") utilizes a 2.20 g/t Au bottom cut-off, a US$2,000 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 40 g/t Au upper cap on composites. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of core length. Table 2 presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed. Lithology Codes: PON-S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone.Figure 2: Longitudinal Vertical Section of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company since December 2024. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/272164_3fafb92ae4c30b1d_004full.jpgGold Mineralization at O'BrienGold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with near-vertical, high-grade shoots developed over significant lengths. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focussed on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well developed vein mineralization to the east of the historic mine, with additional high-grade shoots becoming evident in the exploration data over what has been described as a series of repeating trends ("Trend #s 0 to 5").Step-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the extent of mineralization at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. On October 16, 2025 Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing an eventual eight drill rigs.The origin of the step-out drill program was the deep pilot hole OB-24-337, which was the first exploration drill hole located below the former mine workings since mining ended in 1957. This hole intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated December 16, 2024). With today's results, assay results from a total of 11 wedges from OB-24-337 have now been reported and up to six gold-bearing veins have been delineated over an area of approximately 250 metres (east-west) by 500 metres (vertical). Included in today's results is the eleventh wedge, OB24-337-W11, which intersected 7.00 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, including 12.60 g/t Au over 1.5 metres, and 13.00 g/t Au over 1.50 metres approximately 100 metres below the final historic mining stope (Figure 1). This serves to demonstrate the continuity of mineralization from the former mine downwards towards the cluster previously published wedges (Figures 1 & 2; see Radisson news release dated July 16, 2025). Current drilling in this area is focussed on infilling with pilot holes and wedge extensions both above and below the OB-24-337 pattern of wedge branches to test the full continuity of mineralization from the historic mine down to 2 kilometres depth.Step-out drilling with wedge branches has also confirmed high-grade mineralization 170 metres below the base of the existing mineral resources at Trend #1 and 300 metres at Trend #2. These have included pilot hole OB-24-324, which intersected 27.61 g/t Au over 6.0 metres at Trend #1 (see Radisson news release dated October 30, 2024) and OB-24-363, which intersected 8.41 g/t Au over 2.20 metres, including 14.40 g/t Au over 1.20 metres and 9.07 g/t Au over 1.80 metres, including 12.10 g/t Au over 0.90 metres at Trend #2 (see Radisson news release dated September 8, 2025). Today's results include six wedges from drill hole OB-25-371, which demonstrate strongly developed, high-grade mineralization on the western edge of the deep extension of Trend #2. These holes include OB-25-371W5, which intersected 10.50 g/t Au over 6.5 metres, including 14.90 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and including 16.95 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (Figures 1&3). The significance of these holes is that the apparent separation of Trend #1 and Trend #2 is based, in part, on a data gap caused by drill rig access restrictions and a lack of drilling (Figure 2). Targeting this gap and testing for continuity of mineralization between Trends #1 and #2, as well as at depth, is a priority of the current drill program.Today's results also include the first drill holes located below the western portion of the historic O'Brien Gold Mine, designated "O'Brien Mine West". As with the main mining area, no exploration had been conducted below O'Brien Mine West since operations ended in 1957. From pilot hole OB-25-376 and wedge branches W1 to W5, five holes returned intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources, including OB-25-376W1, which intersected 9.16 g/t Au over 2.5 metres, including 14.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metres (Figure 1). This now extends gold mineralization at O'Brien Mine West 160 metres below the base of the former mine workings (Figure 4).Figure 3: Vertical Cross Section through "Trend #2" with Drill Hole Wedges OB-25-371W2 to W6To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/272164_3fafb92ae4c30b1d_005full.jpg Figure 4: Vertical Cross Section through "O'Brien Mine West" with Drill Hole OB-25-376 and Wedges W1 to W5To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/272164_3fafb92ae4c30b1d_006full.jpgQA/QCAll drill cores in this campaign are NQ in size.

SHENZHEN, Oct 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that on 27 October 2025, the Group through its subsidiary CMS VISION INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT LIMITED entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Novartis Pharma Services AG (“Novartis”) for Ranibizumab Injection (“Lucentis®”) and Brolucizumab Injection (“Beovu®”). In accordance with the Agreement, the Group has obtained the exclusive right to import, distribute, sell and promote as specifically agreed upon in the Agreement in the People’s Republic of China (for the purpose of the Agreement, excluding the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan) ; Novartis will continue to be responsible for the production and supply of the products. The term of cooperation comes into effect on the effective date of the Agreement and remains valid for a period of five years.Both collaborative products have been approved for marketing in China. Among them, Lucentis® is the first anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug approved for ophthalmic use in China, and has accumulated mature clinical application experience, providing reliable support for numerous patients with ocular fundus diseases. Lucentis® has been approved for the treatment of multiple ocular neovascular diseases, including neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO), etc. Another product, Beovu®, is a next-generation anti-VEGF drug approved in China in May 2025 for the treatment of DME. Leveraging its innovative advantages of ultra-small molecular weight (only 26 kDa) and high concentration, Beovu® significantly improves retinal anatomical structure, helps more DME patients gain visual improvement, and alleviates treatment burden.The Group’s ophthalmology business company, “CMS Vision”, focuses on deploying and developing innovative ophthalmic pharmaceuticals and medical devices with urgent clinical needs on a global scale, striving to become a “leading ophthalmology pharmaceutical company in China”. This collaboration will enhance the overall competitiveness of CMS Vision in the field of ophthalmology. CMS Vision already covers ophthalmic disease areas such as fundus diseases, asthenopia and glaucoma. With the addition of Lucentis® and Beovu®, the portfolio will generate strong synergies with the marketed exclusive drug Augentropfen Stulln Mono Eye Drops (Esculin and Digitalisglycosides Eye Drops) and the marketed exclusive medical device EyeOP1 Glaucoma Treatment Device in terms of customer base, expert resources, and channel networks. This will further strengthen CMS Vision’s academic brand competitiveness in ophthalmology, provide positive momentum for sustained collaboration and the development of clinically needed innovative ophthalmic products, and offer patients more diverse treatment options. At the same time, CMS Vision’s professional ophthalmology team will integrate marketing channels and academic resources to improve the overall team efficiency. The collaboration is expected to have a positive impact on the Group’s financial results.More Information about LUCENTIS® and Ocular Neovascular DiseasesLucentis® is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody Fab fragment targeting VEGF. It targets and inhibits human vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), thereby suppressing vascular endothelial cell proliferation, neovascularization, and vascular leakage. As the first anti-VEGF drug approved for ophthalmic use in China[3], Lucentis® has been approved for the treatment of multiple ocular neovascular diseases since its launch in China in 2011, including nAMD, DME, macular edema following RVO, choroidal neovascularization (CNV), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In 2017, Lucentis® was included in the National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) for Basic Medical Insurance, Work-Related Injury Insurance, and Maternity Insurance. It has accumulated mature clinical application experience, providing reliable support for numerous patients with ocular fundus diseases.Ocular neovascular diseases are a group of severe blinding ophthalmic conditions characterized by increased vascular permeability, vascular leakage, and loss of vascular integrity, mainly including nAMD, DR, DME, RVO, CNV, ROP, etc. Anti-VEGF drugs are recommended as first-line therapy for ocular neovascular diseases in multiple authoritative guidelines[3, 4]. According to a Frost & Sullivan report, the number of patients with ocular neovascular diseases in China is projected to increase from 47.8 million in 2019 to 61.2 million in 2030. The Chinese ophthalmic anti-VEGF drug market is expected to grow from RMB 2.4 billion in 2019 to RMB 18.6 billion in 2030. As stated in Anti-VEGF Drugs for Fundus Neovascular Diseases, Lucentis®—the first anti-VEGF drug approved for the treatment of ocular neovascular diseases in China—has demonstrated favorable safety and efficacy in multiple clinical trials. It has been widely used in the treatment of ocular neovascular diseases, and its launch represents a major advancement in clinical ophthalmic treatment[5].More Information about BEOVU® and the DME IndicationBeovu® is a novel VEGF-A-targeted humanized single-chain antibody fragment. It received approval from the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) in May 2025 for the treatment of DME. As the current anti-VEGF drug with the smallest molecular weight (only 26 kDa), Beovu® is administered once every 6 weeks during the loading phase of the DME treatment (compared to once every 4 weeks for other anti-VEGF drugs) and once every two to three months during the maintenance phase. In the global Phase 3 KESTREL and KITE Studies for treatment-naive DME patients, Beovu® met all primary efficacy endpoints and the visual benefit persisted until Week 100. Additionally, patients in the Beovu® 6mg group had less intraretinal fluid (IRF) and/or subretinal fluid (SRF). The median number of injections of Beovu® in the first year (7 times) was lower than that of aflibercept (9 times), while its overall safety profile was comparable to the latter[6]. Data from the Chinese real-world study (BEST Study) showed that for previously treated and inadequately controlled DME patients, BCVA improved by 6.1 letters from baseline 1 week after the first injection of Beovu®, and by 10 letters after the third injection (Week 12). Beovu® provides a more optimized treatment option for previously treated DME patients[7].DME is a retinal thickening caused by capillary leakage in the macular area, which is the result of the breakdown of the blood retinal barrier and mainly affects central vision.[8]. According to a Frost & Sullivan report, there are approximately 7.89 million DME patients in China in 2025. However, even with the current standard anti-VEGF regimens, approximately 30%-50% of DME patients still exhibit suboptimal fluid control[9-11]. A survey in the 2022 White Paper on the Current Status of Chronic Disease Management for Common Ocular Fundus Diseases in China showed that treatment adherence among Chinese patients is relatively poor, with over 30% of DME patients failing to complete the loading phase treatment. There is an urgent clinical need for more potent, longer-lasting, and more adherence-friendly treatment options to improve the diagnosis and treatment of DME patients. As a next-generation anti-VEGF drug, Beovu® offers a potential solution to this challenge. Leveraging its innovative advantages of ultra-small molecular weight and high concentration, Beovu® significantly improves retinal anatomical structure, helps more DME patients gain visual improvement, and alleviates treatment burden.About NOVARTISNovartis is a globally renowned pharmaceutical company headquartered in Basel, Switzerland.
