NRF 2026: NXN Labs Named to ‘Innovators’ Showcase Top 50′ Following European Luxury Wins

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following its breakout success at NRF 2026 in New York this past January, NXN Labs is proving that the future of retail AI has shifted from the “experimental” phase into core enterprise infrastructure.

NXN Labs Named to ‘Innovators’ Showcase Top 50’
NXN Labs Named to ‘Innovators’ Showcase Top 50’

The San Francisco and Seoul-based startup was officially named to the Innovators’ Showcase Top 50—a selection curated by the National Retail Federation and leading venture investors to highlight the most disruptive retail technologies. Adding to this momentum, NXN Labs was also recognized as one of FashionUnited’s Top 5 Retail Tech Startups during the showcase.

From NRF Recognition to European Luxury Expansion

The accolades in New York have rapidly translated into commercial success. NXN Labs confirmed it has secured paid contracts with several premier European luxury brands. For these prestigious houses, the value proposition lies in NXN’s ability to automate high-volume visual production without compromising the uncompromising aesthetic standards inherent to luxury retail.

“Creative wasn’t the constraint; production bandwidth was,” says Jen Rhi, Founder and CEO of NXN Labs.

A Stanford alumna and former McKinsey consultant, Rhi founded the company in 2024 after witnessing the friction of D2C scaling firsthand. While the market is currently saturated with prompt-based “text-to-image” tools, NXN Labs distinguishes itself with a proprietary multimodal diffusion model. Their “Image-to-Infrastructure” approach allows brands to automate the entire production pipeline—from model shoots to visual A/B testing of PDP and campaign assets—directly within their digital production OS workflow.

The Road Ahead: Shoptalk Spring 2026

Building on its NRF momentum, NXN Labs is now heading to Shoptalk Spring 2026 in Las Vegas to further its expansion into the global premium retail sector.

As retailers face mounting pressure to refresh digital content across global marketplaces and social commerce, NXN’s “Production OS” is emerging as the essential backbone for the next generation of visual commerce. In an era where content demand has multiplied across channels, NXN Labs’ thesis remains clear: In modern commerce, visual production—not design—is the ultimate scaling constraint. By solving this bottleneck, the startup is helping the world’s most prestigious brands transition legacy studio workflows into a digital-first future.

About NXN Labs

NXN Labs develops a virtual try-on solution using fashion-specialized generative AI (image-to-image diffusion) technology, enabling automatic generation of images that appear as if models are wearing products without actual photoshoots. By automating fashion content production processes, the company supports brands in focusing on creative capabilities while driving digital transformation and ESG innovation in the fashion industry. Currently, the company is partnering with Shinsegae International, KREAM, and several global fashion brands on various projects.

CANADIAN FIRST NATION SEEKS TO HAVE ITS SAY AS PART OF UPCOMING SALE OF HECLA QUÉBEC AND THE CASA BERARDI MINE TO OREZONE GOLD CORPORATION

PIKOGAN, QC, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Abitibiwinni First Nation (hereinafter “Abitibiwinni”) is calling on Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL) (“Hecla”) and Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX: ORE) (ASX: ORE) (OTCQX: ORZCF) (“Orezone”) to ensure a smooth and fair transition that respects its Aboriginal rights and aligns future operations with current economic and environmental realities as part of the proposed sale of Hecla’s subsidiary “Hecla Quebec” and its Casa Berardi Mine to Orezone.

These concerns were raised by Abitibiwinni in a letter sent to the presidents of both Hecla and Orezone on February 3rd, 2026, concerns which were largely dismissed and ignored by Hecla in its response dated February 16, 2026. Orezone, to this day, has not responded to Abitibiwinni’s letter.

“The sale of Hecla Quebec and Casa Berardi marks an important transition in our continued efforts to reconcile the sustainable development of our lands with our stewardship responsibilities,” said Chief Chantal Kistabish. “Abitibiwinni’s priority is to ensure that the sale, once finalized, leads us to constructive dialogue aimed at ensuring that fairness is restored in terms of our relationship with the mine and its owner and guaranteeing that further development only proceeds responsibly and with appropriate environmental safeguards.”

The Casa Berardi mine is located entirely on Abitibiwinni’s traditional lands, lands over which it has existing Aboriginal and Treaty rights. The mine is currently subject to an Impacts and Benefits Agreement (IBA) between Abitibiwinni and Hecla, but because of Hecla’s refusal to allow the agreement to factor in the sharp rise in gold prices, the very foundation of the partnership between Hecla and the First Nation has been undermined.

In its letter, Abitibiwinni also raised concerns about the impact of mining activities in the region on woodland caribou. Given the species’ cultural significance and ongoing decline, Abitibiwinni is moving to establish a network of protected areas in the region surrounding the Casa Berardi mine to protect the Detour-Kesagami caribou herd. Abitibiwinni expects both compagnies to support this initiative and insists that no further exploration or the possible expansion of the project can occur without its free and informed consent.

Abitibiwinni is therefore asking that Hecla and Orezone engage promptly in good-faith discussions to work toward a respectful and constructive path forward.

Waterdrop Filter Launches Initiative Focused on Household Awareness and Mitigation of PFAS in Drinking Water

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Water purification brand Waterdrop Filter announced the official launch of its PFAS Protection Initiative in February. The initiative aims to help households worldwide better understand and address health risks posed by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water through public education and practical, household-level water solutions.

In May 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the first national drinking water standards for PFAS under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), with public water systems gradually working toward full compliance. The finalized National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) set the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for two widely used and high-risk PFAS compounds—perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS)—at 4.0 parts per trillion (ppt), while the health-based maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) were set at 0 ppt. These limits aim to reduce the exposure of tens of millions of Americans to PFAS and lower the risk of potential health effects from long-term exposure, including cancer, liver damage, and weakened immune function.However, under the current regulatory timeline, it will take public water systems several years to complete monitoring and necessary infrastructure upgrades, and variations in regional infrastructure mean that water quality may still vary widely across areas. Against this backdrop, Waterdrop Filter believes that protecting against PFAS-related health risks cannot depend solely on public water systems; it must also be addressed as a long-term, science-based priority within every household.

As part of this initiative, Waterdrop Filter will collaborate with health, environmental, and consumer-facing media to share science-based and accessible information on PFAS, as well as guidance on reducing the associated health risks. From a technical standpoint, Waterdrop Filter employs reverse osmosis (RO) technology to provide households worldwide with a reliable option for reducing PFAS in drinking water. According to research by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), RO technology is widely recognized as one of the most effective ways for households to reduce PFAS in their drinking water. Waterdrop Filter’s under-sink RO system can reduce detectable levels of PFOS and PFOA in water by up to 98%. This household-level filtration approach offers a practical, ready-to-use option to help reduce PFAS levels toward the EPA’s health-based goal, without the need for major renovations.

Waterdrop Filter recommends customized drinking water solutions to reduce PFAS, tailored to different household types and life stages:

  • Waterdrop Filter G3P800 RO System: This system can reduce PFOA by up to 98% and PFOS by up to 99%, and holds NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certifications. It is specifically designed for households with heightened sensitivity, including families with infants, pregnant women, or elderly members. Its tankless design delivers a continuous supply of fresh, on-demand drinking water, providing peace of mind and consistent protection to the family members who need it most.
  • Waterdrop Filter X16 RO System: With an ultra-high flow rate of 1,600 gallons per day, this system can reduce PFOA by 98.88% and PFOS by 98.97%. It easily meets the daily water needs of multi-member households for cooking, cleaning, and other household uses, helping every family member reduce exposure to the health risks of PFAS.
  • Waterdrop Filter DLG-P: Despite its compact and versatile design, testing shows this system effectively reduces PFOA 99.7% and PFOS 99.6%. Its simple installation and small footprint make it well suited for renters who prioritize PFAS protection, as well as individuals with fast-paced lifestyles.

The 2026 PFAS Protection Initiative is an initial step in a longer-term effort. Looking ahead, Waterdrop Filter will continue to invest in filtration technology and product development, providing long-term, efficient, and user-friendly solutions to reduce PFAS in drinking water. In doing so, it aims to help make safe and healthy drinking water more accessible to households everywhere.Learn more from waterdropfilter.com and Amazon Store

J Law Sets Two-Year Record With 1,499% Return in U.S. Investing Championship

Trader Follows 2024 Record With 252% Gain; Plans Broader Investor Education Push

NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Law Wai-Sum, a Hong Kong trader known as J Law, is expanding his investment education business, JLawStock, to the International market after posting a record 1,499% cumulative return over two years in the top division of the United States Investing Championship.

Law followed a 353.9% gain in 2024 with a 252.3% return in 2025, securing first place in the division for a second consecutive year. Over the same two-year period, the S&P 500 advanced about 47%, based on data published by the competition.

Founded in 1983, the annual championship tracks verified real-money accounts across multiple categories and publishes audited performance rankings. Organizers said 579 participants entered the 2025 event. Law competed in the Money Manager Verified Ratings division, which requires a minimum starting balance of $1 million.

In an interview, Law attributed the results to disciplined execution.

“Most people focus on finding a magic strategy,” he said. “What makes performance repeatable is a process that reduces costly mistakes and puts risk control first.”

Law said individual investors can improve results by adhering to three principles: reducing trade frequency to reduce execution mistakes and transaction costs; adapting established frameworks to personal constraints such as time availability and risk tolerance; and adjusting tactics as market conditions evolve.

“A strategy that performs in one environment may underperform in another,” he said.

Law, who trades U.S. markets from Asia, also said time differences are not the primary challenge.

“Time zones aren’t the real issue — emotional trading is,” he said. “Success depends on preparation and identifying favorable risk-reward setups before the opening bell.”

Following the competition, Law said he plans to expand his investor education business, JLawStock, from Singapore, including the development of English-language materials and structured analytical frameworks aimed at investors in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

JLawStock offers structured trading frameworks for retail investors. Its curriculum emphasizes professional trading techniques, discipline and the mindset required for long-term market participation. The programs have attracted full-time traders, financial influencers, and fund managers. 

“I want to raise the standard of investment education,” Law said. “Empowering investors with a professional-grade process is my next mission.”

About the United States Investing Championship

Founded in 1983, the United States Investing Championship is a real-money investing competition that tracks participants’ performance across multiple divisions and publishes annual standings.

About J Law

J Law (Law Wai-Sum) is a two-time winner of the United States Investing Championship $1,000,000+ Stock Division. He runs an investment education channel and develops training content focused on systematic decision-making, trend and momentum frameworks, and risk management.

Casa Minerals Announces 2026 Aggressive Exploration Plans for Congress Gold Mine and Arsenault Projects

Vancouver, British Columbia – Newsfile Corp. – February 26, 2026 – Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTCQB: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the “Company” or “Casa“) is pleased to provide a corporate update and announce its plans for an expanded exploration program in 2026 across its mineral properties in Arizona, USA and British Columbia, Canada.

2026 EXPLORATION STRATEGY

In response to strengthening global demand for resources and commodities, Casa is advancing aggressive exploration and development plans for its key mineral assets:

  • Congress Gold Mine Project (Arizona, USA) – Advanced exploration and development targeting gold, silver, and copper mineralization
  • Arsenault Gold-Copper Project (British Columbia, Canada) – Copper-gold-silver exploration with advanced geophysical targeting

The Company’s strategic positioning with projects spanning two jurisdictions provides operational flexibility to maintain active exploration programs throughout the year across multiple properties.

CONGRESS GOLD MINE PROJECT UPDATE

The Congress Gold Mine, historically one of Arizona’s largest gold-silver producers, represents an advanced exploration opportunity with substantial historic production data.

Historic Resource Context:

Historic operators reported resource estimates and production figures for the Congress Gold Mine. These historic estimates are disclosed solely for context and have not been verified by a current Qualified Person. The historic estimates do not conform to current NI 43-101 standards, are not classified as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and should not be relied upon. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Casa is not treating the historic estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

Previous operators including Echo Bay Mines reported estimates in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 tons at grades of approximately 0.3 opt (9.33 g/t) gold in certain zones. The mine historically produced approximately 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of gold during intermittent operations through 1992.

2026 Exploration Objectives:

Casa’s 2026 program at Congress aims to:

  • Conduct systematic drilling to bring the project and its extended potential mineralization to NI 43-101 compliant resource standards
  • Build upon the Company’s confirmatory drill programs that have validated portions of the historic data
  • Define a clear pathway for rapid resource definition and project advancement
  • Expand exploration in priority target areas identified through compilation of historic data and recent drilling

The Company’s confirmatory drilling to date, combined with extensive historic data compilation, has established a framework for systematic resource delineation in accordance with modern standards.

ARSENAULT PROJECT UPDATE

The Arsenault copper-gold-silver project in northern British Columbia has advanced significantly following the completion of a state-of-the-art 3D Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey in 2025.

2025 3D IP Survey Results:

The recently completed 3D ground-based IP survey has generated compelling geophysical signatures that management, with extensive experience in similar geological settings, considers highly prospective. Key highlights include:

  • Significant chargeability anomalies indicating potential sulphide mineralization
  • Three-dimensional geophysical signatures with substantial scale and continuity
  • Strong correlation with previous airborne electromagnetic survey results from 2017
  • Multiple high-priority drill targets identified

The IP survey covered approximately 12 square kilometers with 60 km of survey lines utilizing high-density data acquisition with state-of-the-art instrumentation.

2026 Exploration Plans:

Detailed exploration planning is underway for both properties. The Company anticipates releasing comprehensive technical details and specific program parameters for the Congress and Arsenault projects in follow-up news releases as planning is finalized.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“Casa is well-positioned to capitalize on the strengthening commodities market with two highly prospective projects at different stages of advancement,” stated Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO. “At Congress, we have a clear path forward to define resources to modern standards on a historically productive gold system. At Arsenault, our recent geophysical work has identified compelling drill targets with signatures our team has successfully followed to discovery in similar settings. We look forward to an active 2026 field season across both properties.”

QUALIFIED PERSON

Mr. Erik Ostensoe, P.Geo., a Director and Chief Geologist of the Company, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release.
