MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Apr 7, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE:SX)(OTCQB:SXOOF)(FSE:85G1) is pleased to release the additional partial results of its 2021 drilling campaign on its 100% own Manicouagan Project.Table 1 - Assay results for a 2-meter section of 2021-Hole 18Table 2 - Representative samples collected from the 1,070kg bulk sampleMap 1 - Location of hole 21-18 in relation to 2021 bulk sampling and two historical holes nearbyTable 3 - Results for the eight samples submitted for secondary assayThe drill cores sampled return results up to 0.84 g/t of rhodium, 1.3 g/t ruthenium, 0.16 g/t osmium and 0.3 g/t iridium over 0.5 meters.Eight separate samples were selected for re-assay for all Platinum Group Elements (PGE) from hole 21-18. The additional average results over the 2-meter zone previously released on March 25, 2022 (from 47.5 meters to 49.5 meters) include 0.55 g/t rhodium, 1.087 g/t ruthenium, 0.214 g/t iridium and 0.11 g/t osmium. The Company believes these are significant credits to the reported 2-meter section intersected in hole 2021-18. These results coincide with the random samples collected from the bulk sampling and attests to the vertical extent of nickel-copper-cobalt and PGE's present in this system. Therefore, the Company intends to accelerate its metallurgical sampling program to determine the viability of economically separating and recovering the various suites of minerals identified in the Manicouagan massive sulfide discovery.The samples were shipped from Val D'or ALS Laboratories to Bureau Veritas for a complete suite of assays. The eight samples were selected from the better values reported previously from ALS and reported in the Company's last press release on March 24, 2022 (Discovery of High-Grade Nickel & Palladium Corridor Confirmed). Therefore, the samples are not sequential throughout the previous reference to 6.5 meters but are sequential through the 2-meter section previously announced. The Best 2-meter results for platinum and palladium are reported in a side-by-side comparison in Table 1, along with additional results for iridium, osmium, rhodium and ruthenium.Table 1 - Assay results for a 2-meter section of 2021-Hole 18https://www.acnnewswire.com/topimg/Low_StGeorgesEcoMining202204-1.jpgComparatively, assay results for platinum and palladium were similar in nature. Several of the higher-grade samples for platinum and palladium showed decreases from the previous 2-meter results reported in the last press release. This reduced the platinum values by 8% and the palladium values by 18%, as shown in Table 1 above. These variations may be attributable to either or both of the different processes used to establish the assay values and/or the inconsistencies of mineral content in the sample. In fact, the highest iron content (massive sulfides +25% to >50%) is present within this 2-meter zone and may have contributed to any processing issues present.Table 2 is a reminder of the representative samples collected from the 1,070 kg bulk sample. These values confirm the association and relative consistencies of PGE minerals at surface and at depth. Table 2 - Representative samples collected from the 1,070kg bulk samplehttps://www.acnnewswire.com/topimg/Low_StGeorgesEcoMining202204-2.jpgHole 21-18 was drilled to the southeast of the historical Bob Showing, where a 1,070 kg bulk sample was collected this year (See St-Georges Press Release from February 10, 2022: https://bit.ly/3KdbXNIThe map below (Map 1.) shows the location of the hole 21-18 in relation to the bulk sample and two historical holes, 07-17 and 08-02. Two minor faults are reported in the vicinity of these holes.Map 1 - Location of hole 21-18 in relation to 2021 bulk sampling and two historical holes nearby.https://www.acnnewswire.com/topimg/Low_StGeorgesEcoMining202204-3.jpgTable 3 provides the entire results for the eight samples submitted for secondary assay of the suite of PGEs. Table 3 - Results for the eight samples submitted for secondary assayhttps://www.acnnewswire.com/topimg/Low_StGeorgesEcoMining202204-4.jpgThe Company has a large quantity of samples in the process of being assayed by its independent labs. St-Georges' contracted geologists are still hard at work processing the last batch of core that came out of the Manicouagan Project's camp earlier this month. Assays results will be disclosed as they become available.Because of the high-grade assays returned and the identification of a mineralized trend or corridor, the Company expanded its claim position in the area to maintain its competitive advantage. This year, the Company expects to conduct a cursory exploration program on the new land acquisition with some geophysics, geologic mapping, and geochemical sampling of surface outcrops."We believe we are refining our knowledge of structure and mineralization at our Manicouagan project. Previously overlooked and, in some cases, unknown mineralization and trace element geochemistry provide additional targets that both extend the known areas and provide additional targets that remain untested. This particularly involves the distribution of PGEs. Hole 21-18 provided a 2-meter-thick zone that, when you add all of the metals together, gives us 7% nickel equivalent. Historic holes intersected narrow zones (0.22m) that had a combined value of over 12.5% nickel equivalent at today's quoted prices."Palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and platinum are significantly enriched in areas where higher-grade nickel-cobalt-copper sulfides exist. Historically, these minerals were overlooked or, at best, cursorily sampled for all PGEs. Even so, the results from historic drilling include values to 1.73 g/t rhodium and 2.7 g/t ruthenium. More importantly, for our future exploration programs, we find that the various PGEs do not go hand-in-hand but can exist separately and more widely spread from the highest concentrations of base metals. This means higher grades of rhodium and other PGEs may exist within the 16 historic holes that encountered 0.7-to-7-meter widths of high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt within the Bob and Bob East zones. This is also true for elsewhere on this large property position."We hope to benefit from this knowledge, especially in the case of the platinum-palladium-rhodium (PGE) mineralization which appears to have been under-explored in this region. St-Georges hopes to take this knowledge to the next level by also utilizing the new pathfinder elements developed during the 2021 drill program," commented Herb Duerr, CEO & President of St Georges Eco-Mining.About Rhodium MetalRhodium is one of the rarest and most valuable precious metals in the world, currently valued at US$19,000 per ounce or $610 per gram. It is only found in platinum or nickel ores that tend to run with the other members of the platinum group metals. Currently, South Africa produces roughly 80% of the global supply, while Russia and North America account for the bulk of the remaining 20%.The global market for rhodium is around 1.2 million ounces and with supply running a multi-year deficit, the value of the metal has grown steadily since 2017. The reason for this being that rhodium is only produced as a co- or by-product with average grades of up to .5 g/t. In fact, many producers of rhodium today are operating at much lower grades, making St-Georges' discovery very significant in terms of grades being reported.ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS"Herb Duerr"HERB DUERRPresident & CEOAbout St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp.St-Georges develops new technologies to solve some of the most common environmental problems in the mining sector, including maximizing metal recovery and full circle EV battery recycling.

SINGAPORE - The results of this year's PSLE will be released next Wednesday (Nov 24) and arrangements have been made for pupils to collect their results in their classrooms. The collection of results will start from 11am, added the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) in a joint release on Wednesday (Nov 17). The authorities added that one parent or guardian can accompany each child to collect the results in school. They said that to minimise congestion and intermingling, parents will need to wait at designated areas and observe safe management measures while their children receive the results in the classroom. The parents will not be allowed in or near the classrooms, the authorities said. They added: "We recognise that having the opportunity to collect their examination results in person is an important part of the educational journey, as it gives students the opportunity to be with their classmates and consult their teachers face-to-face on their next steps." MOE and SEAB added that pupils and parents who have received a health risk warning from the Ministry of Health will be allowed to collect the results in-person if they test negative for Covid-19 in an antigen rapid test on Nov 24 before going to school. However, those who are unwell or self-isolating with a positive test result for Covid-19 should not go and collect the results, they added. These pupils can access their results online via the SEAB's candidates portal at this website from 11.45 am on the same day. The system will be accessible from Nov 24 till Dec 7. Alternatively, they can appoint another person to collect the physical copy of their results. If pupils are unable to do either, they should contact their school for help, the authorities added. MOE and SEAB added that the Secondary 1 option form to select secondary schools will be given to eligible pupils when they collect their results. They can also download a copy of the form online from the Secondary 1 Internet System.

TOKYO, Oct 18, 2021 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Fujitsu Limited conducted a joint data analysis project with Nikkei Inc., leveraging data analysis tools including Foundry from Palantir Technologies in order to provide new insights into the Japanese electoral process.Drawing on the knowledge of Nikkei, the joint project aims to provide readers and voters with in-depth coverage that combines data from previous election results with region-specific data, including employment rates, demographic data, etc. as well as information about political candidates running for office in parliamentary elections. The insights obtained from these analyses will be published in the Nikkei starting October 17, 2021.By gaining new insights from data, Fujitsu will further strengthen its efforts to drive "Digital Shifts" towards data-driven management models with the potential to innovate customers' businesses, industries, and society.BackgroundIn contrast to many countries in the world, where news outlets provide extensive, data-centric analysis for major political events like presidential elections, Japanese media coverage often focuses more narrowly on the results of the elections rather than offering a broader analysis of the context and data informing citizens' voting behavior and the final results of the election.Data like voting rates, election results, and election related expenses in Japan are often difficult to analyze as electoral districts are not identical with administrative districts and electoral districts are frequently redistricted. This makes it challenging to offer coverage on the "bigger picture," as data is hard to match with region-specific information like the demography and employment rate of administrative districts and information about candidates in the lower house elections.To help address these challenges, Fujitsu and Political News Group of the Policy News Unit of Nikkei, Japan's leading financial newspaper, jointly utilized a broad range of information including election related data held by Nikkei and data open to the public to analyze previous election results and voting behaviors in order to provide readers and voters with a new perspective through data-driven political coverage of elections.About the Joint ProjectWith this project, Fujitsu's data scientists analyzed past election results by combining publicly available election related data and census data, chosen based on the knowledge of Nikkei. For these analyses Fujitsu leveraged the data analysis tool "Foundry" from Palantir Technologies Inc., which empowers organizations to rapidly process large amounts of data. By using this tool, Nikkei's political reporters can draw new insights from publicly available data.This approach offers Nikkei's political reporters a new tool to create contents that offer readers and voters greater nuance and new insights into topics like the effects of regional characteristics on voting behavior or the effects of economic conditions on electoral outcomes.The project further aims to give journalists access to objective, empirical data to reinforce conclusions that have conventionally been based on their own experience and intuition. By adding such new, additional value to the media coverage of elections, the joint project aims to contribute to even greater interest and participation in politics from readers and voters in the future.1. Publication media:The Nikkei morning edition, The Nikkei Online Edition, etc.2. Schedule:Analysis: August to October 2021 Publication: Starting October 17, 20213. Contents:Insights related to the following two topics will be published in the upcoming articlesTheme 1: Regional characteristics and their effect on election trends and resultsThe focus of this analysis will be the question of how regional characteristics of electoral districts influence election results.This analysis aims to clarify the characteristics of voting behavior of residents in the relevant electoral districts by analyzing attribute data like age, gender, occupation and education in relation to data about population decrease, economic indicators, and past election results in the respective districts.Theme 2: Characteristics of council members and their effects on election trendsBased on the characteristics of election winners, analysis will be conducted to help identify possible factors (including age, position and electoral funds) that enabled candidates to win elections. This analysis will also focus on factors like reputation, support groups, and "financial muscles" of candidates.Future PlansFujitsu will draw on the experience gained through this project to offer customers further solutions to leverage complex valuable data in order to contribute to "Digital Shifts" towards a data-driven, innovative management paradigm with the potential to transform not only customers' businesses but also industries and society as a whole.The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 represent a set of common goals to be achieved worldwide by 2030. Fujitsu's purpose -- "to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation"--is a promise to contribute to the vision of a better future empowered by the SDGs.About FujitsuFujitsu is the leading Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company offering a full range of technology products, solutions and services. Approximately 126,000 Fujitsu people support customers in more than 100 countries. We use our experience and the power of ICT to shape the future of society with our customers.

SINGAPORE - The Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results will be released on Nov 25. The Secondary 1 (S1) option forms to select secondary schools must be collected in person and will not be available online, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said on Wednesday (Nov 18). Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, school candidates will collect their results from their classrooms instead of a school hall from 11am onwards. This decision was made to give students "the opportunity to be with their classmates and consult their teachers face-to-face on their next steps" when collecting their results, said MOE. Due to the younger age of PSLE students, a parent or guardian will be allowed to accompany their child or ward to school to collect their results. However, they will need to wait at designated areas in schools and observe safe management measures while the students receive the results in the classrooms. Those who are unwell or are on Quarantine Order, Stay-Home Notice or Leave of Absence on the day of the results release should not return to school to collect their results. Instead, they may view their results online on the Examinations and Assessment Board's (SEAB) results release system from 11.30am on Nov 25, with a password that they have received from their schools. The system can be accessed from Nov 25 to Dec 8. School candidates can also appoint a proxy to collect a physical copy of their results on their behalf by Nov 27. Those who have not received their passwords for SEAB's results release system or are unable to appoint a proxy to collect their results can contact their school for assistance. Submission of secondary one options The S1 option forms will be given to eligible students when they collect their results slips in person, said MOE. Candidates' proxies can collect their S1 Option forms by Nov 27. Those who are unable to receive their forms can contact their school for assistance.
