Doubleview Gold Corp. Announces Successful Completion of 2025 Drilling Season at the Hat Project, the Largest Drill Season yet with 13,290m Diamond Drill Core


Vancouver, British Columbia – Newsfile Corp. – December 8, 2025 – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (“Doubleview” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of its 2025 drilling season at the Hat Polymetallic Project in northwestern British Columbia. This year’s program marks the largest drilling campaign in the Hat Project’s history, with 13,290 metres drilled across 19 drill holes, achieving a 100% success rate with every drill hole intersecting mineralization, while confirming the deposit remains open to depth and laterally.

The 2025 campaign delivered major advancements in our understanding of the geology and dimensions of the Hat deposit, including the identification of a newly recognized mineralized horizon located beneath and adjacent the 2024 conceptual open-pit shell. Importantly, mineralization domains were better defined, existing data gaps were closed, and the Company’s evolving geological and resource models were validated (see Figures 1-4, also available on the Company’s website at www.doubleview.ca).

Assays from holes H100 through H108 remain pending and will be released once received, reviewed, and interpreted in accordance with NI 43-101.

Highlights of the 2025 Drill Season

  • 13,290 metres drilled in 19 holes, averaging 699.5 metres per hole — the largest and most efficient and technically productive program ever.
  • A newly discovered deep mineralized horizon beneath the 2024 conceptual pit outline confirms significant down-dip continuity and expansion potential as mineralization remains open at depth and laterally in multiple directions.
  • Every drill hole intercepted mineralization, demonstrating the strength and continuity of the porphyry system.
  • H097, H098, and H099, previously disclosed, extended mineralization by 200-300 metres down-dip and up to 100 metres laterally, significantly improving the block model and geological interpretation.
  • H099 returned 438 m of 0.40% CuEq, including 52 m of 1.02% CuEq, another one of the strongest continuous intervals drilled at the Hat to date.
  • Newly completed holes H100-H108 were strategically positioned to evaluate depth extensions, lateral continuities, and untested model gaps. Core samples from these drill holes are being processed at the independent assay lab.
  • Pending assays for nine remaining holes will inform updates to the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE-2) and the ongoing Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Note: Due to timing issues, we may not be able to include all assay data in those technical reports.
  • 2025 work further advances Doubleview’s understanding of copper-gold-cobalt-scandium mineral domains. The recently-announced potential scandium recovery achievements are a major milestone for the Hat’s critical-metals profile.

Farshad Shirvani, President & CEO, commented:

This has been a transformational year for Doubleview and the Hat Project. Our 2025 drill campaign successfully demonstrated the strength of our geological model, filled key data gaps, and uncovered an entirely new mineralized horizon beneath the 2024 conceptual pit shell. Every drill hole intersected mineralization, which is a testament to the quality and strength of our technical team, along with the robustness of the system.

The discovery potential at Hat continues to expand, with the deposit remaining open both laterally and at depth. Combined with last year’s exceptional drill results, our scandium recovery breakthrough, and the ongoing work toward the updated Resource Estimate and PEA, we are entering the next phase of project development with a high degree of confidence and momentum. I extend my thanks to our technical team, contractors, and shareholders for enabling the most successful drilling season in our Company’s history.”

The Company is now focused on completing the assay review and disclosure for drill holes H100 through H108, which represent the final nine holes of the 2025 program. Assay results, when received, verified, and interpreted in accordance with NI 43-101 standards, will be announced and incorporated into the geological and resource models.

In parallel, the Company continues to advance its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), which is currently undergoing both internal modelling and external third-party review. The integration of the full 2025 drill dataset, including pending assays, is expected to materially enhance the confidence and robustness of the forthcoming PEA, supporting a comprehensive evaluation of the Hat Project’s economic potential and paths to development.

Enterprise-scale pre-processing and model assembly
Engineers can now simulate large, complex assemblies with speed and fluidity, shortening build and validation cycles. Enhanced navigation, batch meshing, and connector management streamline pre-processing while direct data management integration helps to ensure consistency across teams.

Integrated multiphysics simulation
Unified solvers and domain coupling allow engineers to analyze complex interactions – such as thermal-fluid or electromagnetic-structural systems – with greater fidelity. New workflows support e-motor optimization, battery safety studies, and high-temperature analysis, while co-simulation standards enhance digital continuity. Electromagnetic simulations run up to 40 percent faster and propagation modeling up to 20x faster with radar and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) analysis expanded for next-generation applications.

Automation, collaboration and connectivity
Expanded Python and API support, intuitive no-code workflow tools, and cloud integration promote digital continuity. Enhanced visualization and plotting tools simplify result interpretation and sharing, while seamless interoperability with third-party software strengthens digital twin fidelity.

Realistic particle, fluid, and material behavior
New modeling approaches capture bulk flow, impact behavior, and high-temperature effects with greater realism. Python-based automation accelerates discrete element method (DEM) workflows and coupled solvers enable advanced studies of battery safety and material response.

Intuitive design and motion exploration
A more unified workspace transforms how engineers explore motion and refine geometry. Real-time updates across multi-window views reduce setup time, while flexible implicit modeling and direct surface editing remove geometry barriers to creativity.

Global Shift Toward Trust: 2025 Employer Branding Creativity Awards Highlight New Talent Trends

XISHUANGBANNA, China, Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As global competition for talent intensifies, organisations are increasingly elevating employer branding from a recruitment-focused activity to a core strategic capability. Authentic storytelling, employee-experience design and trust-building have become defining components of modern organisational competitiveness.

The 2025 Employer Branding Creativity Awards concluded successfully in Xishuangbanna on December 1. Hosted by the Employer Branding Institute, and supported by BusinessWeek/Chinese Edition, Xiaoguo and Lockin China, the Awards received 1,831 submissions from 534 organisations across the technology, finance, consumer goods, manufacturing, healthcare and service sectors. Participating organisations included Mercedes-Benz, AstraZeneca China, Bosch China, L’Oréal China, Marriott International and H&M, among others.

The international jury panel comprised leading employer-branding experts including Richard Mosley, Ali Ayaz and Barbara Zych, alongside cross-disciplinary leaders from marketing, public welfare and business media. Using the Institute’s “4+1” evaluation framework — Content Operation, Creative Design, Communication Strategy, User Experience plus an additional targeted criterion — the panel selected 160 outstanding entries representing 74 organisations.

Ms Ocean Fu, Founder of the Employer Branding Institute, said: “Over the past nine years, we have seen employer branding shift from storytelling to trust-building. In a workplace reshaped by AI, efficiency accelerates, yet understanding between people and organisations takes more time. Algorithms may optimise processes, but they cannot build trust. True employer branding helps employees understand and navigate change, rather than simply polishing it.” She continued: “As AI restructures workflows, the value of employer branding lies in helping each employee find their place. Real brand vitality does not come from packaging, but from understanding people. We hope more organisations will move beyond efficiency-driven practices to cultivate ecosystems of trust — where employees of diverse generations and backgrounds feel genuinely seen and supported.

This year’s entries highlighted several notable shifts: a growing emphasis on employee-experience design; increasing adoption of AI-enabled communication; organisational culture becoming central to employer-brand storytelling; and rising cross-department collaboration in content creation.

The newly introduced Achievement Award recognised excellence in organisational talent strategy. Honourees included teams from Lianjia, BEIJING FANUC, Bosch China, Greentown China Holdings Limited, Marriott International and Mercedes-Benz.

The organisers announced plans to expand international participation and strengthen global exchange mechanisms for the 2026 edition. Registration for the 2026 Awards will open in May 2026.

TAIPEI, SHANGHAI, and SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HanchorBio Inc. (TPEx: 7827), a global clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing next-generation immunotherapies for oncology and autoimmune diseases, today presented new first-in-human data from its ongoing Phase 1 monotherapy study of HCB101, a 3.5th-generation SIRPα-Fc fusion protein, in relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R NHL) at the 67th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), held December 6-9, 2025, in Orlando, Florida.


The ASH Annual Meeting is the world’s premier platform for clinical and translational advances in hematology. This year, over 8,200 abstracts were accepted globally, reaffirming ASH’s position as one of the most competitive and influential medical congresses in hematology and oncology, with historical rejection rates of approximately 28%.

The accepted abstract (#3299) features a focused sub-analysis from HanchorBio’s ongoing multinational, open-label Phase 1 study (NCT05892718) evaluating HCB101 monotherapy across solid and hematologic malignancies, highlighting results from the R/R NHL cohort.

Key Results (data cutoff: October 14, 2025):

  • Thirteen patients with R/R NHL received HCB101 (5.12 – 24.0 mg/kg QW). No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed, and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached.
  • All treatment-related adverse events were Grade 1-2, confirming a cytopenia-sparing safety profile.
  • CD47 receptor occupancy (RO) reached ≥ 75-85% at 1.2 mg/kg and ≥ 90% at 8 mg/kg, demonstrating a broad pharmacologic window.
  • A confirmed partial response (PR) was observed in a patient with marginal zone B-cell lymphoma at 8.00 mg/kg, with -43.3% tumor reduction at Week 8 deepening to -89.5% by Week 16 at the same dose.

The results were presented by Alvin Luk, PhD, MBA, CCRA, President & Chief Medical Officer and Chief Executive Officer (U.S.) of HanchorBio during the ASH 2025 poster session. Dr. Luk recently joined HanchorBio to lead the company’s global development of late-stage products and U.S. operations, advancing its next-generation immuno-oncology pipeline.

“Despite ASH’s highly competitive selection process, the inclusion of HCB101 monotherapy data reflects the strong translational foundation and clinical potential of our SIRPα-CD47 backbone,” said Scott Liu, Ph.D., Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of HanchorBio. “We’re encouraged by the favorable safety and early signs of clinical activity seen in the heavily pretreated patient population. These findings validate the translational strength of our FBDB™ platform, and we look forward to engaging with the global hematology community as we expand HCB101 into hematologic malignancies and macrophage/T-cell combination strategies.”

“Presenting these data at ASH marks an important step for HanchorBio and our team,” added Dr. Alvin Luk. “Moving from molecular design to early clinical validation highlights the potential of selective SIRPα-CD47 blockade to achieve both safety and effective immune activation in patients with limited treatment options.”

About HCB101: A Differentiated CD47-SIRPα Blockade
HCB101 is a 3.5th-generation, affinity-optimized SIRPα-Fc fusion protein with an intact IgG4 Fc backbone, developed using HanchorBio’s proprietary FBDB™ platform. It is engineered for selective CD47 targeting with low red blood cell (RBC) binding, thereby avoiding the anemia and thrombocytopenia commonly associated with earlier anti-CD47 monoclonal antibodies, while preserving strong antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) and innate-to-adaptive immune bridging. Key differentiators of HCB101:

  • Enhanced safety: Cytopenia-sparing profile, with no DLTs observed up to 30 mg/kg and receptor occupancy >90% at ≥1.28 mg/kg, supporting a broad therapeutic window.
  • Robust immune activation: Engineered to enhance ADCP and bridge innate-to-adaptive immunity, with evidence of durable immune-mediated tumor control in monotherapy.
  • Broad tumor applicability: Demonstrated activity across >80 PDX and CDX preclinical models, with early clinical signals in gastric cancer, TNBC, HNSCC, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and ovarian cancer.
  • Clinical translation: Shows durable disease control as monotherapy and a 100% confirmed partial response rate (6/6) in 2L gastric cancer when combined with ramucirumab and paclitaxel, with additional confirmed responses in 1L TNBC and 2L HNSCC, substantially exceeding historical benchmarks.
