By acquiring an existing NRC-licensed fuel cycle asset, NANO Nuclear is strategically positioned with the flexibility to pursue a depleted uranium hexafluoride (“DUF6) deconversion facility or additional fuel cycle processes through amendments to the existing NRC license, which NANO Nuclear believes could provide a significantly more efficient regulatory pathway than developing and licensing a comparable facility on a new site. The licensing, regulatory, engineering and technical foundation derived from the acquired assets could also inform and potentially streamline the development and licensing of similar fuel cycle capabilities at other locations. Together, these assets would provide NANO Nuclear with increased optionality to pursue domestic fuel cycle opportunities, either independently or in collaboration with other nuclear fuel processing companies.

If completed, the proposed acquisition would represent another important milestone in NANO Nuclear’s long-term strategy to establish a vertically integrated advanced nuclear energy and fuel platform, extending its potential capabilities, whether internally or through strategic collaborations, across uranium conversion, enrichment, deconversion and transportation through reactor deployment.

Establishing a Strategic U.S. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Platform

The NRC license was originally issued to construct and operate a DUF6 deconversion and fluorine extraction facility in Lea County, New Mexico. The proposed acquisition also includes related patented technology, engineering and safety analyses, regulatory and permitting materials, equipment and historical project development records. The facility contemplated under the existing license was not previously constructed.

While the site is licensed by the NRC under 10 CFR Part 40, “Domestic Licensing of Source Material,” the licensing basis was required by the NRC to meet applicable requirements of Subpart H of 10 CFR Part 70, “Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material,” in connection with a rulemaking framework previously contemplated by the NRC. NANO Nuclear expects the acquisition of an existing licensed fuel cycle facility developed to these requirements to facilitate a more streamlined regulatory pathway for adding certain additional fuel cycle processes requiring authorization under 10 CFR Part 70 through future license amendments if desired, subject in each case to applicable NRC review and approval.

Following closing and transfer of the NRC license, NANO Nuclear plans to continue its evaluation of several options in determining the optimal commercial and development pathway for the acquired assets, including potential deconversion and other fuel cycle activities, as well as opportunities to collaborate with potential strategic partners. No final investment decision has been made, and any future development remains subject to applicable technical, commercial, financing and regulatory considerations.

“This proposed acquisition is fundamentally about securing a strategically valuable position within the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle,” said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear Energy. “An existing NRC-licensed fuel cycle facility, supported by years of regulatory and technical development, provides us with a foundation we believe is extremely difficult to recreate from the ground up. It gives us multiple potential pathways to expand our domestic fuel cycle capabilities while preserving the flexibility to determine the development strategy that creates the greatest long-term value.”

“Our objective is to build the capabilities necessary to support a more complete and resilient domestic nuclear energy industry,” said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear Energy. “This transaction would establish another critical pillar of our vertically integrated nuclear fuel strategy, providing us with an important platform from which to pursue future fuel cycle opportunities, both independently and alongside strategic industry collaborators. I am very pleased with our continued business and commercial approach to creating long-term shareholder value in the nuclear energy sector.”

Transaction Terms and Next Steps

Under the asset purchase agreement, the consideration being paid for the assets at closing is $9.5 million in cash and $4.0 million in NANO common stock, payable and issuable at closing in accordance with the agreement. Closing remains subject to NRC consent to the license transfer, other required approvals and consents (including from New Mexico officials), satisfactory site arrangements and other closing conditions. The parties currently expect closing in approximately 90 to 120 days, although the timing will depend on those approvals and conditions.

$180 Million, 77,000 Acre Iconic Texas Ranch Listed to Sell

By
Advertorial Desk
-

Historic 77,721-acre Texas Panhandle water oasis -Turkey Track Ranch reemerges and returns to market following recovery from the Smokehouse Creek Fire, the largest wildfire in recorded Texas history.

DALLAS, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Icon Global announces the return to market of Turkey Track Ranch, one of America’s great legacy ranches, at $180 million, including a 25% mineral stake. Spanning nearly 80,000 acres under one fence, the Texas Panhandle legacy ranch brings together significant water resources and more than a century of Coble and Whittenburg family ownership.

The ranch was withdrawn from the market following the February 2024 Smokehouse Creek Fire, which burned approximately 60% (46,000 +- acres) of the property’s range land. Recorded as the largest wildfire in Texas history and burning over one million acres to the township of Canadian and into Western Oklahoma, the fire was responsible for the killing of thousands of head of livestock, two human fatalities and the destruction of approximately 500 buildings. The fire began when a fallen utility pole adjacent to the Turkey Track Ranch boundary brought down live power lines.

The sellers were at the time in sale negotiations. Turkey Track was withdrawn from the market and given time to recover before being offered again. The land has come back with renewed strength and vigor, including robust regrowth of native vegetation, pastures and wildlife. Approximately 65 miles of new fencing have been installed and the cattle operation again in full swing. The managers of the ownership shareholders recently voted to resume public marketing and proceed with the sale of the ranch.

Water is central to the property. Stretching from Caprock country to the Canadian River, the ranch includes high mesas, open range, sheltered draws and river bottoms. Its water resources include approximately 26 miles of Canadian River frontage, eight major creek basins and natural springs, with the Ogallala Aquifer beneath the land. Across the property, 64 water wells serve livestock and wildlife, while five irrigation pivots cover 838 acres.

During the drought of the 1950s, the family began building earthen dams to slow runoff and protect the soil. That conservation work continued over decades. In 2016, Turkey Track was named a regional honoree of the Environmental Stewardship Award Program for its land and water management.

Icon Global founder Bernard Uechtritz stated, “I have represented some of the great ranches of the American West, and Turkey Track belongs in their company. The water here is extraordinary, the legacy and history incredible. It is a best in class, and rarity both. Available legacy ranches with this scale, production, recreation and history are today few and far between, scarce anywhere in the American West. Nearly 80,000 acres under one fence, a 25 percent mineral stake and more than a century of family ownership make this a very rare offering. This is a ranch you buy with the next hundred years in mind.”

The ranch encompasses the Adobe Walls battle sites of 1864 and 1874. Its brand dates to 1878, and W. T. Coble acquired the original headquarters in 1916. More than a century of Coble and Whittenburg ownership has carried that history into the present offering.

The 77,721± acre holding returns as a rare opportunity to own a landmark of American ranching and to shape its future over generations to come.

Turkey Track Ranch is offered exclusively through Icon Global. For property information, photographs and viewing arrangements, visit Turkey Track or contact 214.855.4000.

Amari Puts Two Sides Of Laos Within Easy Reach For International Travellers

From Mekong-side culture in Vientiane to the mountains and adventure of Vang Vieng, Amari encourages travellers to experience Laos at a slower pace


VIENTIANE, LAOS – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 October 2026 – Amari is inviting international travellers to discover two contrasting sides of Laos in one journey, combining the culture, cuisine and laid-back riverside life of the capital, Vientiane, with the dramatic mountain landscapes and outdoor adventures of Vang Vieng.

Amari Puts Two Sides Of Laos Within Easy Reach For International Travellers

Connected by rail, the two destinations offer a compelling twin-centre itinerary for travellers looking to experience more of Laos beyond a traditional sightseeing trip. Amari Vientiane and Amari Vang Vieng provide bases at either end of the journey, allowing guests to move from life beside the Mekong River to the limestone mountains and waterways surrounding the Nam Song River.

The experience reflects a different approach to discovering Laos: travelling at a pace that leaves room for local food, everyday encounters and spontaneous discoveries alongside the country’s better-known attractions.

A Capital Best Discovered Slowly

Vientiane may be the capital and economic and cultural centre of Laos, but its appeal lies as much in its unhurried atmosphere as its major landmarks.

Travellers can visit icons including Pha That Luang, Patuxai and Wat Si Saket, while leaving time to explore local markets, discover small cafés, try Lao coffee, cycle through quieter streets and watch the city come to life beside the Mekong River as evening approaches.

Food provides another window into the destination, from noodle dishes and locally caught river fish to dishes flavoured with native herbs and ingredients. Even simple interactions – a “Sabaidee” greeting, a conversation at a market or a recommendation from a local – can become part of the experience.

Located in the heart of the city beside the Mekong River, Amari Vientiane places guests close to many of these experiences while providing a retreat from the capital outside.

Approximately 4.8 kilometres from Wattay International Airport, the hotel offers 242 rooms and suites alongside a swimming pool, fitness centre and Breeze Spa.

Its dining experiences bring further elements of the destination into the hotel. Amaya Food Gallery combines international and Thai cuisine with dishes influenced by Lao flavours and ingredients.

As evening falls, Stellar Rooftop Bar provides another perspective on the capital, with views across the river as the sun sets and Vientiane moves into its evening rhythm.

From Capital Culture to Vang Vieng Adventure The experience changes dramatically in Vang Vieng. Travelling from Vientiane to Vang Vieng by rail allows visitors to exchange the capital’s temples, markets and Mekong-side life for limestone mountains, caves, waterways and outdoor adventure.

Set beside the Nam Song River, Amari Vang Vieng places the surrounding landscape at the heart of the stay. Its more than 160 contemporary rooms incorporate details inspired by Lao craftsmanship, with views towards the mountains and surrounding countryside.

The destination offers a very different way to experience Laos.

Travellers can kayak along the Nam Song River, explore caves, experience the landscape from above or simply spend time surrounded by Vang Vieng’s striking natural scenery.

After a day outdoors, guests can return to the hotel to relax and dine against a backdrop of mountains and river views.

Two Destinations, One Laos Journey

Together, Vientiane and Vang Vieng demonstrate how dramatically the character of Laos can change within a single journey.

In Vientiane, the experience centres on culture, cuisine, temples and everyday life along the Mekong. In Vang Vieng, mountains, waterways and outdoor experiences take centre stage.

Yet both lend themselves to a style of travel that encourages visitors to spend longer in a destination rather than racing between attractions.

Through Amari’s More of What You Love philosophy, both hotels aim to connect the stay more closely with the places around them – through food, relaxation, well-being, local encounters and experiences that encourage guests to explore beyond the hotel.

For travellers, the result is an opportunity to see two distinct faces of Laos in one trip: beginning with the understated charm of the capital before changing pace amid the spectacular landscapes of Vang Vieng.

Because sometimes the most memorable way to discover a destination is not to see more, but to give yourself more time to experience it.

Whole-of-Government initiative empowers women exporters to secure international trade leads at the inaugural WiEX @ MIHAS 2026.


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 October 2026 – Demonstrating the global demand for Malaysian innovation, women-led enterprises achieved RM229 million in potential export sales during the pre-arranged business matching sessions and the 4-days exhibition held at the Women in Export (WiEX) Pavilion @ MIHAS 2026.

The targeted 215 B2B meetings connected local women entrepreneurs with international buyers and distributors from Egypt, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia and Myanmar. Women-owned companies from Selangor, Kedah and Kuala Lumpur, Perak and Penang topped the sales with a combined value totaling RM129.84 million for confectionary, snacks, coffee, tea, cocoa and sportswear products.

The WiEX platform held in conjunction with MIHAS 2026 underscores a strategic Whole-of-Government (WoG) approach to scaling women-led businesses into high-value global supply chains. Led by MATRADE with the support of Pertubuhan Hal Ehwal Wanita dan Keluarga Malaysia (HAWA Malaysia), the initiative brought together key government Ministries and developmental Agencies, including the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW), Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), SME Corp, Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER), Wanita Berdaya Selangor (WBS) and UDA Holdings Bhd. This inter-agency ecosystem ensures the inclusiveness of women entrepreneurs’ transition seamlessly from domestic capacity-building to international market placement.

Speaking at the WiEX Forum, MATRADE Chairman, Dato’ Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican highlighted that:

“The contribution of women entrepreneurs is not a side story in our economy; it is central to it. DOSM’s Economic Census 2023 shows women own 20.1% of Malaysian businesses, generating RM136.9 billion in output and employing nearly a million people. Yet, there remains room to improve export readiness. That is why MATRADE continues the WiEX initiative alongside HAWA Malaysia, chaired by Tan Sri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil. I am delighted that WiEX is now incorporated as a key component under MIHAS 2026, delivering a complete ecosystem of capacity building, market access, and recognition under one roof to help women entrepreneurs seize global opportunities.”

“In the era of Industry 5.0, success is no longer defined by high-tech alone, but also by high touch. Businesses must go beyond profit and contribute meaningfully to the well-being of their employees, communities and society. As women leaders and entrepreneurs, we must ensure that technological progress is balanced with values that are inclusive, ethical and anchored in integrity”, said Tan Sri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, President of HAWA Malaysia during her opening speech.

Complementing the commercial outcomes at the WiEX Pavilion is the WiEX Forum 2026 brought together over 300 participants for actionable knowledge-sharing under the theme “Thriving through Uncertainty: Adapt, Compete, and Grow.”

The forum featured an array of industry leaders and founders sharing practical international expansion models:

  • Ms. Low Ngai Yuen, Managing Director of AEON 360, detailed retail procurement standards and supply chain integration strategies for domestic and regional growth.
  • Datin Eryca Baiduri (Madammu), Founder of NOIR, delivered a fireside chat on evolving a home-based digital business into a scalable global beauty and health brand.
  • Founder-led Panel: Moderated by TV personality Ms. Azaria Tagaya, a dynamic panel consisting of Ms. Amnah Shari (Founder/CEO, Serunai Commerce), Tengku Norhanim Tengku Othman (Founder/CEO, NIMS Adeliciousz), Ms. Jesmine Tan (Co-Founder/COO, Applecrumby), and Ms. Amy Blair (Founder/CEO, Batik Boutique) provided tactical lessons on maintaining quality, navigating regulatory compliance, and managing supply chains across export markets.

Through the combined impact of trade facilitation, strategic cross-agency backing and industry mentorship, MATRADE will continue working alongside HAWA Malaysia, KKDW, MARA, SME Corp and NCER and international trade partners to elevate the ‘Made by Malaysia’ brand globally.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Indonesia is inviting the world to experience its culture through one of its most distinctive assets: gastronomy.

Taking place from 26 September to 4 October 2026 in Solo and Yogyakarta, WIG 2026 carries the theme “From Local Roots to Global Recognition,” bringing together culinary heritage, local communities, chefs, artisans, and tourism stakeholders to showcase food as a gateway to experiencing Indonesia more deeply.

With more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia’s culinary traditions have evolved through centuries of local customs, agriculture, landscapes, and cultural exchange. Behind every dish is an ecosystem of farmers, fishermen, producers, chefs, entrepreneurs, and communities who preserve these traditions.

“We hope that in the long term, gastronomy can become one of the main pillars of Indonesia’s tourism marketing, not merely as a complement to travel, but as one of the reasons travellers choose Indonesia as their destination,” said Hafiz Agung Rifai, Acting Deputy for Events’ Organizer Development, Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia.

WIG 2026 will host 18 media representatives and tastemakers, including voices from Forbes Travel Guide, La Liste, The World’s 50 Best, and CNN International on a journey through Solo and Yogyakarta’s culinary landscapes.

For the public, highlights include a Royal Heritage Dinner at Pura Mangkunegaran, WIG Talks, and the WIG Artisan Market at Grand Hotel De Djokja from 2–4 October, featuring 21 local producers and workshops and tastings, expected to welcome up to 1,300 visitors. Visitors can also join free walking tours with Jogja Good Guide, through Yogyakarta’s streets and living culinary traditions.

The impact of gastronomy tourism has already been proven. WIG 2025 generated 38 international media stories and IDR 16.5 billion in media value, while its Artisan Food Market brought together 25 local F&B tenants, welcomed more than 600 visitors, and generated IDR 1.01 billion in business opportunities, a benchmark WIG 2026 aims to surpass.

Through WIG 2026, Indonesia invites travellers not just to taste its food, but to discover the people, traditions behind every plate. For more detail https://www.instagram.com/p/DdYOOKtmrC2/?img_index=1
