Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Québec – Newsfile Corp. – April 27, 2026 – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQX: FRSPF) (OTCQX ADR: FPHOY) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce analytical results for its infill drill program, completed on March 31, 2026, at its Bégin-Lamarche property in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Québec, Canada.

As previously announced, the Company’s recent infill drilling campaign across the three major zones (Mountain, North and South) has confirmed extensive, continuous mineralization throughout the existing horizon of the initial Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) as well as two new phosphate intersects.

Existing mineralized areas, as well as the two newly discovered intersects, have now been defined in all directions and at depth. Based on the current assay results, the Mineral Resources identified in the Company’s initial MRE, dated September 9, 2024, are now being updated into a current geological model which will be produced next month.

SANYA, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 April 2026 – The 6th Asian Beach Games officially opened on Tuesday evening in Sanya, south China’s Hainan Province. An opening ceremony titled “A Sky-Ocean Meeting” unfolded against a natural backdrop of ocean and sand, welcoming athletes from 45 countries and regions across Asia.

The 6th Asian Beach Games is being held from April 22 to 30 in Sanya, a coastal city in south China's Hainan Province.
The 6th Asian Beach Games is being held from April 22 to 30 in Sanya, a coastal city in south China’s Hainan Province.

Over recent months, the host city has established a comprehensive, high-standard service system, now fully operational, to support what organizers describe as a “splendid, exceptional and outstanding” event.

The success of the Games, organizers say, begins with a smooth and welcoming arrival experience. Benefiting from policies under the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP), entry procedures have been streamlined.

Jože Zidar, a veteran Slovenian sports journalist who visited earlier this year, said he experienced “one of the most efficient border clearances” he had encountered. Such feedback has since been echoed by many participants.

High service standards extend throughout the event. The Games adopt a coastal venue layout described as a “pearls-on-a-string” coastal layout, integrating multiple sites and combining beach sports with the surrounding natural environment to create a “sports and tourism” experience.

All venues have been built or upgraded in line with green standards and are now operational. In terms of logistics, 22 designated hotels, more than 1,000 new energy vehicles, and around 4,700 volunteers have been deployed. The Main Media Center is providing one-stop services for over 1,000 registered journalists from China and abroad.

Given the nature of beach and marine events, Sanya has also established a citywide emergency medical system featuring a “30-minute response network.” A total of 71 on-site medical stations, supported by additional medical posts, 285 medical staff and 46 ambulances, form a comprehensive response system covering on-site treatment, patient transfer and specialized care.

The opening ceremony itself broke with the traditional stadium format, instead integrating performance elements into the natural beach setting of sand, sunshine and palm trees.

Artistic segments combined local Hainan culture, the vision of the Hainan FTP, and the spirit of sport.

The Games mascot “Ya Ya”, the Eld’s deer, appeared throughout the ceremony as a cultural symbol linking the city’s past and future.

Environmentally friendly technologies and virtual imaging were also incorporated to create a visual experience blending digital and real-world elements. Sanya has positioned the Games as a catalyst for urban development under the concept of “promoting construction and improving quality through sports.”

Preparations have contributed to infrastructure upgrades and environmental improvements.

At the same time, a “sports, tourism and consumption” model has been introduced.

More than 200 licensed products have been launched, while promotional campaigns linking tourism resources across the island are underway.

Supporting events, including an international diving festival and cultural exhibitions of intangible heritage, have also been organized to enhance the experience for visitors and participants.

From preparation to opening, Sanya aims to deliver on its commitment to the Asian sporting community through comprehensive services and an open, dynamic city environment.

The Games are expected to serve as a platform to promote unity, friendship and development across Asia.

An updated robotic pool skimmer, engineered for continuous surface cleaning with fewer emptying cycles and more reliable day-to-day performance

RICHMOND, Texas, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beatbot, a global leader in smart pool robotics, today announced the U.S. launch of Beatbot iSkim, a robotic pool skimmer engineered to deliver continuous surface cleaning with greater capacity, extended runtime, and consistent day-to-day performance.

Beatbot iSkim
Beatbot iSkim

Surface debris remains one of the most visible and persistent challenges in pool maintenance. Traditional skimming often requires repeated manual effort and frequent interruptions. iSkim is designed to address this gap by maintaining a cleaner surface throughout the day, reducing hands-on upkeep while improving overall consistency.

“With iSkim, we set out to solve a straightforward but recurring issue, keeping the pool surface clean without constant intervention,” said Jimmy Hu, VP at Beatbot. “By bringing together larger debris capacity, sustained operation, and intelligent control, iSkim is designed to make everyday pool care more efficient and dependable.”

Extra-Large Capacity for Fewer Interruptions

At the core of iSkim is a 9L extra-large debris basket, designed to capture significantly more floating debris before requiring emptying. The system can hold up to 800 leaves while also collecting fine particles such as dust, pollen, and pet hair, reducing the need for frequent maintenance during daily operation.

A 29 × 270 mm widened skimming inlet increases the active capture area, allowing the robot to collect more debris with each pass and maintain consistent surface coverage.

To ensure a cleaner removal experience, iSkim also incorporates an anti-spill basket design, using an internal baffle structure to help retain collected debris during movement and retrieval, minimizing spillback when the unit is lifted from the water.

7×24 Uninterrupted Performance with Dual Charging

iSkim is built to support continuous operation throughout the day. Powered by a 10,000mAh battery, it delivers up to 28 hours of runtime without sunlight, ensuring reliable performance even beyond daytime use.

An integrated 24W solar panel enables near-continuous operation under suitable lighting conditions, reducing reliance on manual charging. The system also supports dual charging, combining solar input with fast adapter charging, reaching full charge in approximately 5 hours at 64.5W.

SolarTrack™ light-tracking technology allows iSkim to move toward brighter areas of the pool, optimizing solar exposure and helping maintain uninterrupted operation.

Built for Outdoor Durability and Long-Term Use

Backed by an extended 3-year warranty, up to three times longer than typical coverage, iSkim is engineered for long-term reliability in demanding outdoor pool environments.

It features an IP68 waterproof rating, UV-resistant construction, and materials designed to withstand prolonged exposure to chlorine and saltwater, supporting consistent performance across seasons.

Additional design elements, including guided wheels and SonicSense™ obstacle avoidance, support smoother navigation while helping reduce unnecessary impact during operation.

Superior Full-Surface Cleaning with Smart Control

Designed to maintain a consistently clean pool surface, iSkim delivers full-surface coverage with a dual-motor propulsion system, enabling smooth and stable movement across a wide range of pool shapes, including rectangular, round, kidney, and freeform layouts.

Through the Beatbot App, users can monitor cleaning status in real time, review usage records, and control operation remotely. Scheduling functions allow for more flexible daily use.

For retrieval, Smart Auto Parking guides the unit to the pool edge at the end of operation, while one-tap recall enables return without the need for additional tools or direct contact with the water.

By combining continuous operation, high-capacity debris collection, and intelligent control, iSkim is designed to simplify everyday pool maintenance and deliver a more consistent, reliable cleaning experience.

Availability and Pricing

The Beatbot iSkim will be available in North America on Beatbot.com and Amazon.com at $499.

About Beatbot

Beatbot is one of the fastest-growing robotic pool cleaning brands worldwide. Driven by continuous innovation,it empowers people to perfect pool living and enrich their everyday life. Founded on a mission to reimagine pool care through intelligence and design, Beatbot holds around 500 patents (granted and pending) and is powered by a team where 60% are R&D experts.

MOONLEX Launches Sunflower X on Kickstarter: Turning sleep lighting from passive illumination into active environment management

By
Advertorial Desk
-

HONG KONG, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MOONLEX officially launched its smart lamp Sunflower X globally on Kickstarter on April 28, 2026, aiming to redefine sleep lighting by turning it from passive illumination into active environment management through intelligent sensing and personalized sleep optimization technology.

Sleep is not a simple on/off switch. For most people, the real experience is shaped by bedtime relaxation, falling asleep, and waking up in the morning. Sunflower X is not designed to give users one more smart device to manage. It is designed to let the bedroom take the right action automatically at the right time.

Sunflower X is a smart bedside lamp that starts waking users during the best wake-up window, auto-fades light and audio after they fall asleep, contactlessly monitors sleep and body status without using a camera, and adapts its self-optimizing personalized wake-up curve to everyone’s natural body rhythm.

One of Sunflower X’s most compelling features is that, unlike a traditional alarm clock that rings at a fixed time, it helps users wake up naturally within their Best Wake-up Window through more suitable light and rhythm. It redefines the morning wake-up experience: instead of simply calling the user awake at one fixed time, it identifies a more suitable wake-up moment within the user’s selected window and uses a self-optimizing  personalized wake-up curve to help the user transition more smoothly from sleep to wakefulness.


Traditional alarm clocks usually perform only one action: they ring when the time arrives. Traditional wake-up lights usually follow only one logic: they gradually brighten before a fixed time. Sunflower X is designed to solve the more important questions: When is the right moment to begin waking someone up? What kind of light makes waking up feel more comfortable?

Through contactless millimeter-wave radar, Sunflower X can sense changes in the user’s sleep state and support sleep-state detection. Once the user enters the best wake-up window, the system starts a simulated sunrise combined with white noise during a more suitable wake-up phase, creating a waking experience that feels closer to naturally waking up in nature instead of mechanically waiting for a fixed alarm time. At the same time, Sunflower X supports biological rhythm learning and self continuity optimization, continuously learning how the user responds to different brightness levels, color temperatures, brightening speeds, and wake-up durations, gradually forming a personalized wake-up  curve that better matches the user’s personal habits.

The core design logic of Sunflower X is to turn wake-up from a single time point into an intelligent window.

Users can set a target wake-up time and a wake-up window in the MOONLEX App. For example, if a user wants to get up by 7:30, Sunflower X can continuously assess the user’s sleep status between 7:00 and 7:30. When the system identifies a stage that is more suitable for waking, Sunflower X begins with low-interruption light and gradually increases brightness and color temperature, helping the body enter a waking transition before it is forced awake by a sudden sound.

Dynamic Learning for Each Person’s Best Wake-Up Light

Different users have different sensitivities to light. Some people are better suited to an earlier and softer brightening process. Some need a more noticeable change in brightness. Others respond very differently to warm and cool color temperatures. A fixed light curve cannot adapt to each person’s real long-term habits.

The advantage of Sunflower X is not only that it can produce light, but that it can self-optimize how to deliver light.

In everyday use, Sunflower X continuously optimizes the wake-up curve based on data such as the user’s sleep state, wake-up response, manual adjustments, the time when the light is turned off, and feedback in the App. Over time, the system learns:

  • which sleep states usually make it easier for the user to wake up;
  • the user’s acceptance of low, medium, and high brightness levels;
  • whether the user is better suited to a shorter or longer brightening process;
  • how the user responds to warm light, daylight-like light, and higher color temperatures;
  • whether the user often delays getting up, manually turns off the light, or falls back asleep.

As usage increases, Sunflower X gradually evolves from a standard wake-up curve into a more personalized wake-up strategy, making each morning’s wake-up experience closer to the user’s real biological rhythm.

AI Sensing 3- Stages Wake-Up

Pre-Wake Stage

After the user’s best wake-up window begins, Sunflower X combines sleep-state detection to determine whether the user has entered a more suitable time for waking. The light starts from an extremely low brightness level to avoid sudden stimulation.

Progressive Wake-Up Stage

When the system determines that the wake-up process should begin, Sunflower X gradually adjusts brightness, color temperature, and change speed based on the user’s past responses, helping the user move smoothly from sleep into light wakefulness.

Wakefulness Reinforcement Stage

Around the target wake-up time, Sunflower X can make the light more noticeable to help reduce staying in bed and falling back asleep. At the same time, the microphone on the light will play white noise. Simulated sunrise lights combined with natural white noise bring the most natural awakening

More Integrated Functions

In addition, Sunflower X brings many functions together:

  • Automatic sleep-time shutoff: automatically turns off the light and pauses phone media after the user falls asleep;
  • Rotatable light ring: adapts to different reading angles;
  • Energy-saving mode: Automatically turn off when the person leaves and automatically light up when they come；
  • Voice interaction and AI-assisted support.
  •  Personalized wake-up curve: continuously learns from sleep status and light sensitivity;
  • 60GHz millimeter-wave radar: supports sleep monitoring;No camera invasion of privacy；Monitor 200000 times in one night
  • Contactless sensing: no wearable device required, reducing the burden of long-term use;

In the future MOONLEX ecosystem, the system can also connect with sound, fragrance, temperature, humidity, and other bedroom devices to form a complete morning environment activation routine.

About MOONLEX

“Technology serves people. We respect the body’s natural rhythms and hope to bring people the most natural experience possible.”

“Comfortable light while you read, a quiet exit after you fall asleep, and light that gradually takes over from the alarm before you wake up.”

“We believe a truly good wake-up experience is not about an alarm clock forcing people awake. It is about the bedroom environment bringing people into wakefulness at the right time, in the right way.”

“The core of Sunflower X is not to make a brighter lamp, but to help light understand each person’s different wake-up rhythm. After all, morning is the key starting point of every day.”

WILMINGTON, Del., April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Compass Mining, a leading provider of Bitcoin mining infrastructure and services, today announced its new partnership with SpiderPool, the world’s fifth-largest Bitcoin mining pool. The partnership will offer Compass Mining customers a 1% pool fee on Spider Pool’s FPPS payment method, representing a 75% reduction compared to the pool’s standard 4% fee.

The move comes as Bitcoin miners focus on cost efficiency amid tightening margins and historically low hashprice. By aggregating customer hashrate across its platform, Compass Mining is able to negotiate preferential rates typically reserved for larger operations. This agreement gives customers a way to reduce pool fees and improve payout consistency.

“Users were asking for better rates, so we delivered. We constantly try to understand our community’s pain points and add as much value as we can,” said Shanon Squires, Chief Mining Officer at Compass Mining. “Thanks to this partnership, our customers will enjoy the same industry-low rates that typically require large-scale commitments.”

Spider Pool is a SOC 2 Type 1 & Type 2 certified operation that currently accounts for around 8% of global Bitcoin block production, making it one of the industry’s largest and most established mining pools. As part of the partnership, SpiderPool will list Compass Mining as a preferred hosting partner on its website.

“From the transparency of our mining pool to our focus on non-custodial models, we have proven our commitment to decentralization and empowerment of individual miners, and so has Compass Mining,” said Jack Chen, Founder at SpiderPool. “We are very proud to offer this special rate to their community and hope it can make a meaningful difference for their mining economics.”

Compass Mining customers can access the discounted SpiderPool FPPS rate by setting up a SpiderPool sub-account with a “compass” prefix and linking it in their Compass Mining Dashboard. Once connected, the discounted fee is applied automatically. Check out the step-by-step guide to access the SpiderPool fee discount here.
