Power Digitalization: Uzbekistan’s First Digital Substation Successfully Completed

Zafarabad 220kV Digital Substation in Jizzakh Province Delivered by Shanghai Electric, Marking a Significant Milestone in Its Commitment to Enhance Power Infrastructure and Promoting Digital Transformation in the Energy Sector

ZAFARABAD, Uzbekistan, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Zafarabad 220kV Digital Substation, Uzbekistan’s first digital substation built by Shanghai Electric (SEHK:2727, SSE:601727), has been successfully completed and commissioned. Located in Jizzakh Province, the state-of-the-art substation covers approximately 75,000 square meters and is expected to significantly enhance the power supply in eastern Uzbekistan.

For more than two decades, Uzbekistan has struggled with ongoing shortages of natural gas and electricity, forcing a significant portion of its population to depend on traditional stoves and improvised heating methods to endure the severe winter months. Upon completion, the Zafarabad Digital Substation will play a key role in strengthening the region’s electrical grid and improving energy distribution in Uzbekistan. With a capacity of 400 megawatts, the new facility will effectively double the power supply to the Jizzakh region, ensuring the stability of electricity delivery to nearby industrial enterprises and residential areas.

Advanced Technology for Optimal Performance

The substation features two 250 MVA auto-transformers, developed and manufactured by Shanghai Electric, which will step down the voltage from the 220kV level of the higher power grid to 110kV for local distribution. This will provide reliable, high-quality electricity to the Jizzakh province, meeting the growing demand for power in this rapidly developing region.

A key innovation in the Zafarabad project is the implementation of a fully digitalized system, which will greatly enhance the efficiency and safety of substation operations. The substation is equipped with advanced monitoring and data acquisition systems that reduce the need for on-site maintenance personnel and improve operational safety. In the event of an emergency, the system’s real-time monitoring capabilities can quickly locate faults and adjust the power load to prevent disruptions.

A Testament to Shanghai Electric’s Capabilities

Shanghai Electric was granted the turnkey project by the National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan in October 2021. As Uzbekistan’s first digital substation, the Shanghai Electric project team overcame numerous challenges, including collaboration across multiple parties, language barriers, and technical debugging. The team not only optimized project configurations but also provided thorough training. During construction, they coordinated efforts between Chinese and Uzbek teams, ensuring the timely completion of the project’s main infrastructure while achieving a remarkable three years of accident-free operations.

Founders Metals Hits 28.5 m of 7.12 g/t Au in First Drill Hole at Van Gogh Discovery

Vancouver, British Columbia – Newsfile Corp. – February 20, 2025 – Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) (“Founders” or the “Company”) announces the first assay results of its 2025 drilling campaign and a new drill-confirmed high-grade gold discovery at its Antino Gold Project (“Antino” or “Project”) in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The Company reports 28.5 metres (m) of 7.12 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) from 18.6 m in the first drill hole at Van Gogh, 3.8 km east of the Da Vinci prospect. The drilling follows up on high-grade channel sampling results reported on January 21st (news release).

Highlights

  • Drilling confirms Van Gogh discovery with 28.5 m of 7.12 g/t Au from 18.6 m in first drill hole
    • 3.8 km step-out from nearest drill hole on property
  • Early drilling suggests potential for multiple parallel zones
  • Pending drillholes with similar quartz-sulphide mineralization suggest continuity of mineralized body over >150 m
  • New discoveries at Van Gogh and Da Vinci further support Founders’ exploration strategy
  • Strong discovery potential for the additional 9 high-priority targets at Antino

“The discovery of high-grade gold at Van Gogh is a major milestone for Founders Metals and further validates our approach to exploration at Antino,” stated President and CEO, Colin Padget. “28.5 m of 7.12 g/t Au in our first drill hole at Van Gogh is an incredible start. These assay results, along with our recent Da Vinci discovery, underscore the potential for additional high-grade gold discoveries across the property. 2025 is off to a great start and we’re excited to continue unlocking the full potential of Antino.”

Geology Discussion

Van Gogh is 2.0 km from Lawa and 3.8 km from Da Vinci, and forms part of an emerging multi-kilometre northwest oriented gold trend that extends to the Maria Geralda target. This trend aligns parallel to the Main Antino Shear Zone, which spans 15+ km from Upper Antino to Da Vinci (Figure 1).

Gold mineralization at Van Gogh occurs within a ~30 m wide mylonite zone with up to 5 m intervals of strongly silicified country rock and quartz. The gold-rich intervals locally contain up to 15% sulphide (pyrite) and the highest-grade intervals are often associated with brecciation. Moderate to strong sericite-chlorite-ankerite alteration occurs throughout the mineralized interval and up to several metres into the surrounding country rock.

About Founders Metals Inc.

Founders Metals is a Canadian-based exploration company focused on advancing the Antino Gold Project located in Suriname, South America, in the heart of the Guiana Shield. Antino is 20,000 hectares and has produced over 500,000 ounces of gold from surface and alluvial mining to date1. The Company is fully financed for up to 60,000 metres of drilling in 2025.

There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Other factors which could materially affect such forward-looking information are described in the risk factors in the Company’s most recent annual management discussion and analysis. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking information except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
