Vinhomes Redefines Urban Living With All-in-One Havens


HANOI, VIETNAM- Media OutReach Newswire – 3 October 2024 – Vinhomes has elevated the standard of urban living in Vietnam with its all-in-one residential developments. Building on a successful track record and the country’s thriving economy, Vinhomes is now seeking international customers for its world-class projects. The company’s strategic vision and commitment to quality and innovation have positioned it as a key player in both the Vietnamese and regional real estate markets.

Vinhomes


In an era of digital immersion and shifting boundaries, a yearning for cleaner living and deeper connection sweeps the world. Responding to this longing, Vinhomes’ all-in-one urban sanctuaries like Ocean City and Vinhomes Royal Island rise across the globe. Their bold forms and groundbreaking concepts, reaching for the sky, reshape the future of urban dwelling and entice a new breed of residents seeking both progress and community.

A Prime Destination for Global Residents Seeking Vietnamese Experiences

Young professionals and entrepreneurs crave traveling and connecting, stimulating environments and diverse perspectives. This yearning finds a home in all-in-one havens, which offer not only professional avenues but also a sense of belonging and a vibrant tapestry of cultural exchange. Fueled by economic growth, a surge in business opportunities, and the escalating cost of living elsewhere, Hanoi is drawing a new wave of global migrants. These digital nomads seek sunnier shores and greener pastures in an increasingly interconnected world.

Ranked by ADB as one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia, Vietnam has become a magnet for young tech talents and remote workers. Its rich cultural tapestry, affordability compared to Western countries, and pleasant climate proves particularly appealing to a generation increasingly disenchanted with high rents and the daily grind back home.

According to the Expat Insider Survey by InterNations, the world’s largest expat community, affordability, sunshine, and overall satisfaction are Vietnam’s winning recipe for happiness. Not surprisingly, InterNations ranked Vietnam among the top 15 expat destinations for 2023.

Vietnam particularly excelled in the “personal finance” category, with a stellar 77% of respondents praising its budget-friendly lifestyle. This financial advantage, combined with Vietnam’s undeniable charm and ample sunshine, creates a powerful magnet for expats seeking both financial ease and a vibrant life abroad.

In that context, Vinhomes has cultivated a strong reputation for creating exceptional living environments. Residents benefit from a comprehensive ecosystem of amenities, including schools, healthcare facilities, recreational spaces, and retail outlets. With a commitment to fostering community engagement, Vinhomes has transformed its developments into thriving urban hubs, earning accolades as one of the nation’s most desirable places to live. This holistic approach has propelled the company to the forefront of Vietnam’s real estate industry.

All-Inclusive Living in Vietnam

Vinhomes sets its sights on attracting global citizens with Ocean City, a sprawling 1,200-hectare urban area east of Hanoi. Poised to become Vinhomes’ largest investment project within a decade, Ocean City promises to reshape residents’ lives with a seamless blend of sophisticated amenities, world-class experiences, and elegant living spaces. Many residents, having lived overseas, say it is the most liveable place on the planet to call home, attributing this sentiment to the joy it instills within them.

Envisioned as a symbol of global connection, Ocean City brings together wonders from around the world within its vibrant embrace. Classic European facades line bustling streets, where gondolas glide beneath Venetian bridges. Across the 830-meter man-made miniature Venice River, K-Town pulsates with Korean energy, inviting visitors to explore traditional houses and savor authentic cuisine.

Within the mega-complex Ocean City, they have carved out an 6.2-hectare oasis: Vietnam’s first-ever city-center saltwater lake. But that’s not all. Pearl Lake, a freshwater haven with pristine white sand beaches, completes the picture, offering residents a unique waterfront lifestyle within the beating heart of Hanoi.

Beyond dazzling sights, Ocean City pulsates with the energy of global connection. Smart office towers stand shoulder-to-shoulder with leisure havens, ensuring residents can keep pace with the world’s economic rhythm without leaving their vibrant, dynamic hub. Its TechnoPark Tower, rising from this urban oasis, has become Vietnam’s first smart building to conquer the prestigious IBcon Digie Awards, surpassing international competitors and cementing Ocean City’s place as a global innovation leader.

Vinhomes has further expanded its vision with Vinhomes Royal Island, an 877-hectare development inspired by the world’s most coveted island getaways. This project offers residents a unique blend of luxury, natural beauty, and modern conveniences. The community boasts an extensive network of 31 parks, swimming pools, and sports facilities.

By offering exceptional living environments that combine modern amenities, vibrant communities, and a strong focus on quality, Vinhomes is attracting international residents seeking a more fulfilling and balanced lifestyle. As the world continues to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of its citizens, Vinhomes’ all-in-one developments are poised to become the model for future urban living.

First Phosphate Reports Published University Research Note Relating to Igneous Rock Phosphate Ore Bodies around the World


SAGUENAY, QUEBEC – Newsfile Corp. – 2 October 2024 – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTC: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a peer-reviewed research note has been published by Queen’s University (“Queen’s”) and Université de Québec à Chicoutimi (“UQAC”) entitled:

Igneous Rock Phosphate: ore grades, concentrates and mining operations around the world

Drs. Sandeep Banerjee, Peir K. Pufahl, Sarah Dare
Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering, Queen’s University
Département des Sciences Appliquées/LabMaTer, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC)
September 23, 2024

https://firstphosphate.com/phosphate-industry/quebecanorthosite

The study is divided into two main sections and compares igneous phosphate ore bodies around the world, including the Company’s Bégin-Lamarche property, as to their ore grades, beneficiated phosphate concentrate levels and mining operations where applicable.

  1. Comparisons of global igneous ore grades and beneficiated igneous ore

Only a small portion of the worldwide phosphate ore (~10%; Pufahl and Groat, 2017) is supplied from igneous rock from Russia, South Africa, Brazil, and Finland. These igneous phosphate deposits are mostly from the Khibiny Alkalic Igneous Complex (Notholt, 1979) and the Kovdor Phoscorite-Carbonatite Complex (Ivanyuk et al., 2016) from the Kola Peninsula in Russia, the Siilinjärvi Carbonatite Complex in Finland (Decrée et al., 2020), the Phalaborwa (Palabora) Igneous Complex in South Africa (Gómez-Arias et al.2022), and the Alto Paranaíba Alkaline Province in Brazil (Silva et al., 2023) (Fig. 1). These igneous deposits are from silica-undersaturated alkali intrusions and carbonatites.

The average P2O5 contents of phosphate ore from igneous rocks from major deposits in the four major countries (Russia, Finland, South Africa, and Brazil) exhibit significant variations (4.0-17.2 wt.%; Table A2).

The igneous phosphate ore found at First Phosphate’s Bégin-Lamarche property in Quebec, Canada is mostly from nelsonite and oxide-apatite-mafic- ultramafic rocks in massif anorthosite from the Grenville Province (geological province). The P2O5 of the ultramafic rock ranges from 2.6 to 15.0 wt.%. The average P2O5 grading of the phosphate is 6.01%. Testing suggests that the phosphate ore from this deposit could produce a high-quality phosphate concentrate with a P2O5 content of ~40.9 wt.% (Table 1), which is above the global average P2O5 of marketable phosphate concentrates produced from igneous ore from other countries (36.9 wt.%; Table 1).

  1. Comparisons of global igneous phosphate rock mining operations

Depth of ore body, distributions of ore and waste rocks, and grades of ore are the principal factors for selecting open-pit or underground mining operations. Both open-pit and underground mining operations exist for igneous phosphate ore excavation (Geissler et al., 2015). The open-pit mining operations are, however, becoming the primary method of mining over time (Geissler et al., 2015). One of the major Russian igneous phosphate producers, PhosAgro, operates both open-pit and underground mines in the Khibiny Alkaline Igneous Complex, Russia. In the case of the Koashvinsky open-pit mine, the quarry excavation depth reaches up to 960 m, including the upland part, and up to 580 m in a closed contour (Iliashenko, 2022). Another major igneous phosphate producer in Russia, EuroChem, excavated to a depth of 414 m until 2015 at their Kovdorskiy open-pit mine in the Kovdor Ultramafic Alkaline Complex and has a plan to excavate to a depth of 874 m before starting an eventual underground mining operation (Dickson, 2015).

First Phosphate Corp. completed a total of 25,929 m of drilling since February 2024 in three areas of its Bégin-Lamarche property (Mountain zone, Northern zone, and Southern zone). All analyses for the drilling program have been received. Initial results show that one drill hole (BL-24-56) in the Mountain zone intersects a phosphate layer at a depth of 6.5 m from the surface and continues over 92.5 m down the depth with an average P2O5 content of 11.8 wt.%. This layer continues toward the south end of the Mountain zone through to the Northern zone. Multiple phosphate layers were also identified in the Northern zone. The overall strike length of the Northern and Mountain zones is nearly 600 m (First Phosphate press release, April 23, 2024). The presence of the phosphate layer close to the surface (~6.5 m below the surface) in the BL-24-56 drill hole suggests that the area close to this drill hole in the Mountain zone could be a prospective location for starting open-pit mining operation at the Bégin-Lamarche property. This needs to be justified with subsequent proper mine planning study.

Details on First Phosphate’s assets in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region of Quebec, can be found at: https://firstphosphate.com/projects/begin-lamarche

Details on First Phosphate’s pilot plant for the purification of Quebec igneous anorthosite can be found at: https://firstphosphate.com/projects/pilot-plant

Details on First Phosphate’s pilot plant for the manufacture of PPA from Quebec igneous phosphate can be found at: https://firstphosphate.com/projects/ppa-production

Details on First Phosphate’s strategy for the creation of a fully integrated LFP battery supply chain in North America based on establishing an LFP battery valley in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region of Quebec can be found at: https://firstphosphate.com/lfp-battery-strategy

First Phosphate believes that Quebec igneous anorthosite phosphate rock is an untapped source of high purity phosphate which can potentially be mined and transformed into large quantities of PPA to service North America’s need for LFP batteries.
