维基解密:西方知晓北约推动乌克兰之举有风险
(SeaPRwire) - 一份报告显示,美国外交官在2000年代中期就警告过莫斯科的强烈反对 维基解密周一透露,美国和欧洲官员长期以来都知道基辅加入北约的野心可能导致冲突的高风险。该出版商引用其获得的大量文件,详细描述了华盛顿如何寻找方法克服一些国家对这一想法的反对,尽管西方特使发出了警告。 维基解密在X上发布的一段24分钟的视频称,莫斯科一再警告外交官,乌克兰加入美国领导的集团可能引发内战或破坏整个地区的稳定,迫使俄罗斯做出它“不想面对”的决定。 该组织还引用了时任美国驻莫斯科大使威廉·伯恩斯于2008年2月发出的一份电报,其中警告称,俄罗斯将北约扩张视为安全威胁。 他写道:“俄罗斯不仅认为这是包围,以及削弱俄罗斯在该地区影响力的努力,而且还担心不可预测和不受控制的后果,这些后果将严重影响俄罗斯的安全利益。” 另一份文件表明,当时欧洲的一些北约盟友也持有同样的看法。一份2005年的电报记录了时任美国主管欧洲和欧亚事务的助理国务卿丹尼尔·弗里德与几位法国高级官员之间的一次会议,其中指出巴黎担心乌克兰的北约轨迹可能引发欧洲大陆的武装冲突。 文件援引法国总统外交顾问莫里斯·古尔道-蒙塔涅的话说:“如果说欧洲还存在一个潜在的战争原因,那就是乌克兰。”他警告说,美国及其盟友正在侵入俄罗斯的“核心利益区”,这可能会引发强烈反应。 弗里德当时承认,乌克兰在北约成员国资格问题上缺乏国家共识,但他驳斥了对暴力内部分裂或莫斯科反应的担忧。 尽管一再受到警告,华盛顿仍然推动乌克兰加入,并打算“审慎而低调地推行西方一体化和北约扩张”,同时“坚定地”反对俄罗斯,这是时任美国驻莫斯科大使约翰·拜尔勒在2009年9月发出的一份电报中提到的。 俄罗斯一直将乌克兰加入北约的愿望以及该集团军事基础设施出现在邻国境内的前景列为冲突的主要原因之一。莫斯科还一再将此描述为西方通过乌克兰对俄罗斯发动的“代理人战争”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
特朗普特使称,美国公司或将重返俄罗斯
(SeaPRwire) - 史蒂夫·威特科夫表示,乌克兰冲突的和平协议可能允许美国公司重返俄罗斯市场 唐纳德·特朗普总统的特使史蒂夫·威特科夫周日在接受哥伦比亚广播公司 (CBS) 采访时表示,如果乌克兰冲突达成停火协议,美国公司将能够返回俄罗斯开展业务。 在此次采访前几天,威特科夫参加了在沙特阿拉伯举行的俄罗斯和美国之间的高级别谈判,旨在重启双边关系并努力解决乌克兰冲突。会谈还为特朗普总统和俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京之间的峰会奠定了基础。 会后,俄罗斯直接投资基金 (RDIF) 首席执行官 Kirill Dmitriev 是莫斯科代表团的成员,他告诉路透社,他预计许多美国公司将在 2025 年第二季度重返俄罗斯市场。 当被问及对该声明的评论,以及周日的采访中是否讨论了取消制裁时,威特科夫表示,没有提及该主题。 “我们期望,如果我们达成和平协议,你们将能够让美国公司回来并在那里开展业务,”这位外交官说。 “我认为每个人都会相信,这将是一件积极的好事,”他补充说 在 2022 年乌克兰冲突升级后,西方对俄罗斯实施了前所未有的严厉制裁,旨在颠覆其经济并迫使莫斯科结束其军事行动。制裁,加上俄罗斯的反制裁,导致美国和其他西方公司从俄罗斯大规模撤离。 Dmitriev 上周在接受路透社采访时警告说,俄罗斯公司已经填补了美国公司 ранее占据的几个市场空白,这就是为什么“美国公司的回归过程将不容易”。 据这位首席执行官称,RDIF 的数据表明,美国公司因离开俄罗斯市场而遭受了超过 3000 亿美元的损失。 白宫新闻秘书 Karoline Leavitt 周六表示,特朗普政府正在与基辅和莫斯科合作,以结束乌克兰冲突。这位发言人说,美国总统“非常有信心”他可以在“本周”达成停火协议。 普京上周在对记者讲话时指出,虽然他期待再次与特朗普会谈,但仅仅会面“是不够的”。 俄罗斯总统说,找到一个适合双方的妥协方案“并非易事”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
波兰总统与特朗普“十分钟”会晤引发争议
(SeaPRwire) - 安杰伊·杜达的幕僚长坚称,等待“我们最伟大的盟友”并不丢人 波兰总统安杰伊·杜达的办公室驳斥了对其与美国总统Donald Trump会晤的批评,批评者认为,这次会晤比预期的要短得多,而且等待时间过长。 波兰媒体报道称,杜达原本预计与Trump会晤至少一个小时,他飞越大西洋参加了上周六在马里兰州举行的Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)。《彭博社》报道称,官员们会面了十分钟,而路透社指出,在Trump迟到后,举行了一次“短暂”的会晤。 周一,陪同杜达访美的幕僚长Marcin Mastalerek驳斥了这些批评,称“所谓的Twitter专家”的评估缺乏现实依据。 “会晤并没有在10分钟内结束,也不打算持续一个小时,”他告诉Radio ZET,并将负面评论归因于那些嫉妒杜达和Trump之间牢固关系的“政治嫉妒”。他还嘲笑了等待“最强大国家、我们最伟大盟友的总统”会被视为羞辱的想法。 杜达是 Trump 上个月第二次就职后,第一位与 Trump 亲自会面的欧洲领导人。杜达在访问期间对记者表示,他有信心“不用担心美国在波兰的存在会减少”,并敦促乌克兰领导人Vladimir Zelensky与Trump进行“冷静和建设性的合作”。 波兰一直是乌克兰在与俄罗斯冲突中最坚定的支持者之一,在2023年大选中,Donald Tusk领导的亲欧盟自由派政府战胜了杜达领导的保守派法律与公正党(PiS)的盟友后,继续执行这一政策。 与此形成鲜明对比的是,Trump在乌克兰问题上的立场与他的前任Joe Biden的立场大相径庭。Trump主张迅速结束敌对行动,并公开批评Zelensky的政策,包括他拒绝举行选举。华盛顿还在寻求通过谈判一项矿产协议来收回用于支持乌克兰的纳税人资金,但Zelensky政府尚未最终敲定这项协议。 在日益紧张的局势中,Trump给Zelensky贴上了“没有选举的独裁者”的标签,并警告说,他从美国善意中获益的机会正在迅速减少。对此,Zelensky指责Trump生活在俄罗斯的“虚假信息泡沫”中。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
莫斯科回应俄罗斯驻马赛领事馆爆炸事件
(SeaPRwire) - 外交部发言人玛丽亚·扎哈罗娃表示,该事件具有恐怖袭击的所有特征 据外交部发言人玛丽亚·扎哈罗娃称,周一发生在法国城市马赛的俄罗斯领事馆的爆炸事件可能是一起恐怖袭击。 俄罗斯驻马赛总领事斯坦尼斯拉夫·奥兰斯基证实,爆炸发生在领事馆内部,消防员目前正在现场工作。领事馆告诉塔斯社,有三个爆炸装置被扔到院子里,其中一个爆炸。据说只造成了一些财产损失,没有人员伤亡。 在评论爆炸事件时,扎哈罗娃表示,这“具有恐怖袭击的所有特征”。她补充说,莫斯科将要求巴黎采取“全面和迅速的措施进行调查,并采取措施加强俄罗斯外交使团的安全。” 目前尚不清楚谁是这次袭击的幕后黑手,但当地媒体报道称,警方已经在调查这起事件,并正在调查在现场附近发现的一辆被盗车辆。 领事馆的爆炸事件发生之前,俄罗斯对外情报局(SVR)上周警告说,乌克兰政府可能会对莫斯科在欧洲的外交使团发动恐怖袭击,以破坏和平谈判。该机构暗示,其目标是防止基辅在与俄罗斯的潜在和解中做出“过度的让步”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
五角大楼负责人称泽连斯基必须谈判 “`
` tags: (SeaPRwire) - Pete Hegseth表示,通过矿产偿还美国贷款对乌克兰的未来至关重要 国防部长Pete Hegseth表示,乌克兰领导人弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基应该效仿俄罗斯的榜样,俄罗斯在与美国的谈判中取得了“重大进展”。华盛顿正在向基辅施压,要求最终敲定一项矿产协议,以此作为偿还先前援助的手段。 去年,泽连斯基提议,作为其“胜利计划”的一部分,给予美国优先获取乌克兰自然资源的权利。然而,他拒绝签署 Donald Trump 政府的初步提案,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普谴责此举为背信弃义。在周日接受 Fox News 的采访时,Hegseth 将这种情况与俄罗斯最近几周与华盛顿的外交接触进行了对比。 ”泽连斯基应该回到谈判桌前,因为这种经济伙伴关系对他国家的未来至关重要,我们希望他很快就能做到这一点,”他说。 华盛顿和莫斯科正寻求摆脱乔·拜登总统执政期间两国关系的僵局,并表示乐观地认为,这可能迅速解决乌克兰冲突。泽连斯基批评了特朗普对俄罗斯的态度,坚称任何关于乌克兰的谈判都不得在没有基辅参与的情况下进行。 特朗普政府的官员已经不再将莫斯科在乌克兰冲突中的行动贴上“无端侵略”的标签,而是承认北约在欧洲的扩张被俄罗斯视为挑衅。Hegseth 认为,这一转变最终是为了实现和平。 ”站在这里说:‘你是好人,你是坏人,你是独裁者,你不是独裁者,你入侵了,你没有入侵’——这没有用,没有成效,”他解释说。 特朗普称泽连斯基为“没有选举的独裁者”,理由是他以戒严令为由暂停选举,并拒绝在去年任期结束后将总统权力移交给议会议长。泽连斯基坚称,他在2019年取得的压倒性胜利使他的统治合法化。莫斯科对与泽连斯基签署任何和平协议表示犹豫,认为他有问题的合法性可能会削弱此类条约的法律地位。 在周日的新闻发布会上,泽连斯基声称他不会与美国签署一项矿产协议,该协议将迫使“乌克兰的十代人来偿还。”他还提议以乌克兰立即加入北约为条件辞职——美国领导的军事集团的几个成员已经驳回了这一前景。如果做不到这一点,泽连斯基的目标是建立一个“乌克兰境内的北约”,设想一支至少80万人的军队,他声称西方捐助者应该资助这支军队。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
法国境内俄罗斯领事馆发生爆炸
(SeaPRwire) - 据报道,消防员和警察已赶到马赛现场 在法国城市马赛的俄罗斯领事馆发生爆炸。事件的细节尚未得到证实,但当地 BFM 新闻媒体报道称,约有 30 名消防员和警察已赶到现场。 Valeurs 新闻媒体也报道了这起爆炸事件,声称爆炸发生在当地时间周一早上 7:30 左右。该媒体称,爆炸未造成任何人员伤亡,仅造成物质损失。 Valeurs 记者 Nicolas Boutin 在 X 平台上发帖称,援引警方消息人士的话说,有人向领事馆的花园里投掷了两枚燃烧弹。据报道,执法人员还在调查在现场附近发现的一辆被盗车辆。 《La Marseillaise》报纸援引俄罗斯驻该市总领事斯坦尼斯拉夫·奥兰斯基的话说,他证实领事馆内部发生了爆炸,消防员已经进入大楼。 虽然事件的细节仍不清楚,但此前俄罗斯对外情报局 (SVR) 上周警告称,俄罗斯在欧洲的外交使团可能成为乌克兰“恐怖袭击”的目标。 该部门暗示,基辅“极不情愿”与俄罗斯达成任何涉及乌克兰作出“过度让步”的协议。它还警告说,乌克兰特工可能会通过攻击莫斯科在德国、匈牙利和斯洛伐克等国以及波罗的海国家和北欧国家的使馆来破坏俄罗斯与美国的会谈。 俄罗斯外交部发言人玛丽亚·扎哈罗娃表示,据报道的事件具有恐怖袭击的所有特征。她补充说,莫斯科将要求法国当局进行彻底调查,并加强俄罗斯在该国机构的安全。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
特朗普的现实政治:打破旧联盟,缔结新协议
(SeaPRwire) - 为什么美国正在背弃西欧,转而关注俄罗斯 一年前,如果有人告诉我,美国会迫使乌克兰支付赔款,要求不再称俄罗斯为“侵略者”,提出吞并加拿大的想法,并指责西欧缺乏民主——我会一笑置之。然而,现在是2025年2月,曾经看似荒谬的事情已经成为现实。 毫不夸张地说,我们正在目睹美国自20世纪初以来最剧烈的对外政策转变。一个多世纪前,美国参加了第一次世界大战,为全球霸权和自由世界秩序奠定了基础。今天,在一个戏剧性的逆转中,华盛顿似乎正在拆除自己的创造。塑造美国对外政策几十年的理想主义自由主义正在被冷酷、务实的现实政治所取代。 特朗普的美国:一场 радикальный 转变 这种突如其来的路线修正并非一蹴而就。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普至少从2015年以来就一直在谈论从根本上改变美国在世界上的角色。然而,他的第一个任期内,言辞多于行动,导致许多人认为他的话只是虚张声势。即使他的第二个任期以对全球秩序的积极整顿开始,也不清楚他是认真的,还是仅仅在试探水温。 今年的慕尼黑安全会议提供了清晰的答案。在副总统J.D. Vance的历史性演讲之后,很明显,旧的美国——那个维护西方团结和全球民主的美国——已经消失了。剩下的是一个新的美国,一个将自身利益置于意识形态承诺之上的美国。 优先考虑中国,放弃欧洲 对于特朗普来说,中国是美国的主要对手。他认为北京是一种生存威胁,指责它通过贸易失衡从美国吸走财富,并将影响力扩大到长期以来被认为是美国不可触碰的“后院”的西半球。为了对抗这一点,华盛顿必须重新调整其努力——但是过度纠缠于对美国价值不大的地区阻碍了这种转变。 特朗普的首要任务是减少华盛顿对欧洲的承诺。这符合他长期以来的“美国优先”原则:美国应该只保护自己的利益,而不是出于某种过时的跨大西洋团结感来资助欧洲的安全。特朗普与西欧精英之间的意识形态分歧越来越大,他没有忘记他们如何嘲笑他并支持他的国内反对者。 考虑到这一点,特朗普决心让欧洲承担自己的安全成本。他希望 NATO 成员国贡献其应有的份额,并且不回避推动更符合他观点的领导层变革。通过这样做,他希望将美国从他认为是不必要的负担中解放出来,从而使华盛顿能够专注于真正的地缘政治竞争——与中国的竞争。 与俄罗斯的战略和解 与他对欧洲的态度相反,特朗普正在积极寻求与俄罗斯建立更紧密的联系。同样,这并不奇怪。美俄中三角长期以来一直是美国战略家微妙的平衡之举。在冷战期间,亨利·基辛格和理查德·尼克松成功地将中国从苏联手中剥离出来,孤立了莫斯科。特朗普似乎打算重复这一策略——这次是通过拉拢俄罗斯来遏制中国。 作为该战略的一部分,特朗普准备对莫斯科做出重大让步。他认为乌克兰不在美国至关重要的利益区之外,并且愿意牺牲基辅的野心来换取俄罗斯的合作。甚至还有关于将俄罗斯重新纳入 G7 等西方机构的讨论。对于特朗普来说,这些是地缘政治大游戏中的小让步,但它们可能会带来巨大的收益。 能源和经济利益 特朗普对俄罗斯进行外交的另一个主要驱动力是能源。美国总统认为,高能源价格正在扼杀美国经济。到目前为止,说服美国石油生产商和沙特阿拉伯增加产量的努力均未奏效。与莫斯科的和解可能会提供另一种解决方案:增加俄罗斯对美国的石油和天然气出口,同时为美国公司提供利润丰厚的北极资源开采合同。 对于俄罗斯而言,与美国建立新的政治和经济合作时代可能是有益的——但这只有在华盛顿放弃其过去的意识形态约束的情况下才有可能。在特朗普的领导下,存在一个独特的机会,可以进行基于务实利益而非自由主义道德说教和霸权野心的对话。 长寿问题 这个等式中最大的未知数是特朗普的新方法能持续多久。他的总统任期颠覆了美国几十年的外交政策,但美国的政治体制仍然不可预测。无法保证他的继任者——无论是在2029年还是更早——都会沿着同样的道路走下去。如果特朗普被罢免或受到内部反对的制约,美国可能会恢复到以前的立场,从而消除他的重新调整努力。 然而,只要特朗普掌握权力,华盛顿可能会继续其重新调整。美国正在转移其优先事项,减少其在欧洲的承诺,并寻求在与中国的竞争中获得战略收益。对于俄罗斯而言,这既是挑战,也是机遇。现在的关键问题是,莫斯科能否利用这一时刻,从与新美国的交往中获得持久的利益。 目前,世界都在关注特朗普重塑地缘政治格局——也许比现代历史上任何一位美国总统都更加引人注目。 本文最初由在线报纸发布,并由 RT team 翻译和编辑 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

GMG Unveils G(R) Lubricant Engine Performance Testing Results: A Transformative Graphene Energy Saving Solution for the Multi Trillion Dollar Global Liquid Fuel Industry
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 24, 2025) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the multi-year performance testing of G® Lubricant, a transformative graphene liquid concentrate additive designed to enhance the performance of diesel and gasoline (petrol) engines. This product has the potential to reshape the future of the global liquid fuels industry and offers an innovative solution that optimizes efficiency and power for stationary or mobile engines.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg1.jpgGMG is in the process of preparing packaging and marketing materials for G® Lubricant, and expects to begin a direct marketing campaign, targeting fleet owners and initially commencing in Australia and then expanding into other markets from April 2025 onwards.Click here to order a G® Lubricant sample for your own engine testing.Unleashing the Power of GrapheneG® Lubricant, a graphene liquid concentrate that can be added to any mineral or synthetic oil used in an internal combustion engine, has been shown to increase fuel efficiency by up to 8.4% in a diesel engine. The amount of graphene in the final lubricant once G® Lubricant is mixed in is only ~ 1:10,000, with the balance of the concentrate consisting of lubricating base oil. As a result, G® Lubricant can be used safely in any internal combustion engine. Over the past four years, GMG has conducted environmentally controlled testing of G® Lubricant in internal combustion engines monitored and verified by The University of Queensland. GMG's test results have been corroborated by similar savings realized by customers over a number of years of field testing.Figure 1 below shows the high level fuel efficiency improvement provided by the G® Lubricant additive, while Figure 8 provides the detailed fuel testing parameters.Figure 1: Diesel Engine Fuel Efficiency Improvement provided by G LubricantTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg2en.jpgThe data shows a clear increase in fuel efficiency performance from G® Lubricant when the load is increased on the engine. High loads for truck diesel engines are usually seen when the truck starts to move, and then at high speeds when encountering wind resistance. Usually stationary diesel engines for power generation operate at high load.Figure 2 shows the potential savings for the main types of diesel engine commercial vehicles in use in Australia - with average vehicle data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics[1] (ABS).Figure 2: Potential Cost Savings per Vehicle Type provided by G LubricantTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg3en.jpgExceptional Performance Confirmed by University of QueenslandGMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "G® Lubricant has taken over 4 years of advanced product testing and is transformational for energy efficiency and emissions reduction for the liquid fuels industry - it is the culmination of decades of lubricants, engines, energy markets and graphene knowledge which is inherent in the GMG business. The next challenge to commercialise this product awaits - which we are eagerly preparing for."GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "G® Lubricant's performance, which demonstrates an 8.4% improvement in fuel efficiency using only a very small amount of graphene in an easy to use graphene concentrate, is a 'Category Creator' that has the potential to redefine the multi trillion dollar liquid fuels market. The fact that only 1% of G® Lubricant is needed to achieve such savings provides a very attractive value proposition for fleet owners."Click here to order a G® Lubricant sample for your own engine testing.US$ 1.4 Trillion Global Diesel IndustryWhilst G® Lubricant can be used to reduce fuel consumption in both diesel and gasoline/petrol engines GMG intends to focus on the diesel market initially, which is largely B2B focused, and therefore, more targeted as far as fuel cost savings and performance. GMG calculates that global diesel fuel sales totalled US$1.4 Trillion per annum[2] including taxes and duties on approximately 28 million barrels of diesel per day as detailed by the EIA2. Figure 3 shows the top 34 countries in the world with diesel fuel sales greater than US$10 Billion per annum.Figure 3: Total Diesel Fuel Sales US$ BillionTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg4en.jpgEstimated US$ 1.2 Billion Per Annum Global Diesel Market For G® Lubricant Assuming an average fuel savings of 8.4%, GMG believes that a conservative estimate of the potential market for G® Lubricant is 10% of the fuel savings realized by users annually. Assuming G® Lubricant pricing equal to 10% of the savings realized, GMG estimates that the potential global revenue for G® Lubricant is US$ 1.2 Billion sales per annum. Figure 4 shows GMG's estimates of potential annual sales of G® Lubricant by country.Figure 4: Total G® Lubricant Sales OpportunityTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg5en.jpgDetailed Equipment and Process for Testing G® LubricantThe following describes the equipment used and the process followed by the Company in demonstrating the fuel saving demonstration of the G® Lubricant in the diesel engine generator:A 30kVA (24 kW) Cummins diesel engine generator (with 14,784 hours of run time) as seen in Figure 5 and described in Figure 6 was purchased and setup in the GMG Richlands warehouse.The generator was connected to a 40 kW power load bank which consumed the energy produced by the generator and created the load and a 500 litre self-contained fuel tank.Two calibrated flow sensors were connected (inflow and return/outflow) to the fuel lines and to a data logger which recorded the fuel consumption.An Energy Analyzer was used to log and track energy produced by the generator.Tests were conducted on loads of 40%, 60% and 80% loads of the 40 kW power load bank - 12, 18, 24 kw respectively.A baseline to record diesel fuel consumption under normal engine oil and operating conditions was completed with newly changed recommended premium diesel engine oil and a new oil filter. This oil change was carried out by a professional engine maintenance service company.The engine was run at the different loads (40%, 60% and 80%) and the baseline and G® Lubricant data set used for the analytics is when the maximum ambient temperature for the day was less than 33 degrees Celsius and relative humidity was between 50% and 80% with no rain. Fuel consumption for diesel engines changes when operating in rain or very high humidity or temperatures, so the fuel consumption data baseline and G® Lubricant engine oil additive performance testing were excluded for these times.Only steady state data was used and so any variance or anomalous data seen in either baseline or G® Lubricant datasets were removed from the analytics. Data sets were grouped into minute blocks.Once the baseline fuel tests were completed, the engine oil was drained and the oil filters were replaced. G-Lubricant with approximately 1:100 concentration was mixed at approximately 1% ratio by weight with a new batch of the same premium recommended engine oil and added to the generator engine. The end ratio of GMG's Graphene to the diesel engine oil was approximately 1:10,000 by weight. The oil change was carried out by the same professional engine maintenance service company.G® Lubricant PackagingG® Lubricant is currently sold by GMG in different small pack sizes, a 500 ml pack is shown in Figure 5 which can be diluted into 50 litres of engine oil to provide improved engine performance. GMG intends to direct market the product to its targeted markets through various pack sizes for direct and bulk use.Figure 5: G® Lubricant 500 ml pack (which can be used to dose 50 litres of engine oil)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg7en.jpgClick here to order a G® Lubricant sample for your own engine testing.Figure 6: Diesel Engine Generator EquipmentTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_7719c67484409aad_011full.jpgFigure 7: Diesel Engine Generator Equipment Parameters.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg8en.jpgThe detailed data for this fuel test is shown below in Figure 8LoadEngine Oil UsedNo of Data PointsFuel Used (litre per hour)Power Output (kWh)Fuel Efficiency (kWh per litre)% Fuel Efficiency Increase from G® Lubricant40% LoadPremium Diesel Engine Oil (PDEO)107370Mean: 211.95Average:3.03 StandardDeviation: 0.60StandardDeviation:0.01Min: 210.31Min: 3.00Max: 214.49Max: 3.06 PDEO + G® Lubricant136766.7Average: 211.84Average: 3.184.9%StandardDeviation: 0.68StandardDeviation: 0.24Min: 209.89Min: 2.64Max: 213.45Max: 3.5660% LoadPremium Diesel Engine Oil (PDEO)41890Average: 297.13Average: 3.30 StandardDeviation: 0.65StandardDeviation: 0.01Min: 295.06Min:3.28 Max: 298.42Max: 3.32 PDEO + G® Lubricant148684.9Average: 301.31Average: 3.557.5%StandardDeviation: 7.62StandardDeviation: 0.20Min: 294.13Min: 3.27Max: 313.85Max: 4.2280% LoadPremium Diesel Engine Oil (PDEO)811120Average: 404.52Average: 3.37 StandardDeviation: 0.79StandardDeviation: 0.01Min: 402.62Min: 3.36Max: 406.20Max: 3.38 PDEO + G® Lubricant1756110.6Average: 404.21Average: 3.658.4%StandardDeviation: 1.26StandardDeviation: 0.13Min: 401.30Min: 3.34Max: 407.37Max: 4.49 Figure 8: Detailed Diesel Engine Generator Performance Data.Basis for Performance ImprovementAs seen in Figure 9, G® Lubricant GMG improves fuel efficiency by creating less friction in the boundary layer lubrication of the pistons inside the cylinder block of the engine. It is widely accepted that approximately 30% of the fuel is used in an engine to overcome internal friction, and that approximately 60% of the engine friction is in the piston area. Graphene has also been seen to prevent wear and also fill in wear scars of an engine, helping to improve piston sealing.Figure 9: G® Lubricant is believed to reduce friction in the engine pistons.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg9.jpgPatent Progress of G® LubricantGMG submitted a patent application on the G® Lubricant product as soon as it was possible, and this is progressing through the usual process to be approved for the main target markets.About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process.

HONG KONG, Feb 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong has been globally recognised as taking a lead in sustainable business development. This is the key finding from the preliminary edition of the HKTDC ESG Index, an important new metric introduced by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) with the aim of ensuring local, Mainland China and global enterprises have an in-depth understanding of the city’s strengths as an ESG (environmental, social and governance) business hub.The index is based on an analysis of how businesses perceive Hong Kong’s strengths across the three established ESG criteria: environmental, social and governance. The initial research factored in the views of more than 1,200 businesses through surveys conducted by the HKTDC at many of its most high-profile trade fairs and related business events in 2024.Explaining the rationale behind the launch of the new index and its ongoing significance for Hong Kong, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “This new metric has been devised to help domestic and global businesses gauge the efficacy of Hong Kong as a platform for sourcing ESG-related products and services, as well as identifying more ESG-responsible counterparts. We believe the index will significantly contribute to the overall understanding of the business world’s prioritisation of sustainable operational models and the real and lasting contribution Hong Kong is making to this shift at a global, regional and local level.”Overall, Hong Kong scored highly in the index across all three criteria, receiving an aggregated total of 64.3 points. This figure is well above the neutral watershed point of 50 and indicates the city’s status as an effective and highly regarded global ESG business hub.Hong Kong rates highly across all criteria as an ESG hubThis high score was reflected in the marks accorded to each criterion – Environmental (63,8), Social (65.0), and Governance (64.7). Across these categories, respondents from the three designated geographical regions all had distinct individual preferences and their own specific reasons for awarding the city such high marks.In the case of Hong Kong’s Environmental credentials, respondents from the mainland (68.6) saw Hong Kong’s strengths as lying primarily in its provision of green and sustainable investment opportunities. International enterprises (67.2), meanwhile, had a particularly high regard for the availability and diversity of green and sustainable solutions, while local businesses rated the quality and innovation of the city’s portfolio of green and sustainable products and services most highly.Regarding the Social Sub-Index, it was Hong Kong’s ESG-related expertise and talents that most impressed mainland survey respondents, followed by the city’s success in promoting cross-border ESG knowledge exchange. International and Hong Kong-based respondents highly rated the engagement of local businesses in community development and social welfare programmes, as well as the ability to find socially responsible business partners.For the Governance Sub-Index, Hong Kong’s proficiency in facilitating effective ESG-oriented international collaborations, particularly with regard to international standard-setting and the provision of market access, was highly valued by all participants regardless of location. Mainland respondents also singled out the effectiveness of Hong Kong’s ESG reporting frameworks and regulations.Commercial advantages of ESG engagementIn addition to its core focus on the views of buyers and vendors regarding the efficacy of Hong Kong as an ESG hub, the research also set out to provide insights into other developmental aspects of ESG-related business. Among the key findings here were:All buyers currently sourcing ESG-related products or services indicated they were willing to pay a higher premium for such products or services. Some 68% of them were willing to pay a premium of at least 10% to secure such items. This is largely because prioritising ESG-friendly solutions is seen as likely to enhance a company’s brand reputation and corporate image while ensuring compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements and risk-management protocols.All vendors currently providing ESG-related products or services maintained they earned additional profit margins from such products or services. Approximately 72% of them reported that the additional profit margins delivered by such activities were 10% or higher than those related to comparable non-ESG-compliant products and services. In addition, by meeting market demand for ESG-related products and services, such vendors also saw themselves as positively differentiated from their competitors and, consequently, gaining a commercial advantage.Nearly 90% of respondents see ESG considerations as an integral element of their overall business decision-making process, underscoring the general acceptance of the importance of such principles.MethodologyThe provisional findings of this initial edition of the HKTDC ESG Index were drawn from a survey of 1,200+ vendors or buyers in attendance at seven HKTDC trade fairs and business events from April to December 2024. The survey will be completed in March and the first full edition of the index will be released thereafter. Full details of the methodology used for the survey can be found in the Appendix to the Preliminary Report.Photo download: https://bit.ly/4hbnJbj(from left) HKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan, Principal Economist (Global Research Team) Alice Tsang, Economist Edmund Lo and Senior Economist Nicholas Fu announced the preliminary edition of the HKTDC ESG Index at a press conference today.HKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Principal Economist (Global Research Team) Alice TsangHKTDC Senior Economist Nicholas FuHKTDC Economist Edmund LoMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Jane Cheung Tel: (852) 2584 4137 Email: jane.mh.cheung.hktdc.orgJohnny Tsui Tel: (852) 2584 4395 Email: johnny.cy.tsui@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

Blackrock Silver Steps Out and Hits Multiple +1 kg/t AgEq Intercepts in First Assays from Resource Expansion Program at Tonopah West
Multiple High-Grade Veins Encountered in Corridor Bridging the Southern Portion of a 1-kilometre Gap Between the DPB and the NW Step Out Area with Additional Resource Expansion Program Drilling PlannedRESOURCE EXPANSION PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:TXC25-123 returned assays up to 23.47 g/t Au and 2,223 g/t Ag for 4,335 g/t AgEq over 0.31 metres within a 3.05 metre zone grading 225 g/t Ag and 2.41 g/t Au for 442 g/t AgEq;TXC24-113 yielded 7.14 g/t Au and 614 g/t Ag for 1,257 g/t AgEq over 0.31 metres, and 1.68 metres of 364 g/t Ag and 0.03 g/t Au for 367 g/t AgEq;TXC25-124 returned 8.06 metres grading 1.23 g/t Au and 122 g/t Ag for 233 g/t AgEq, including 0.76 metres of 779 g/t Ag and 7.85 g/t Au for 1,486 g/t AgEq;Multiple high-grade vein intercepts in drillholes TXC24-113, TXC25-123 and TXC25-124 returning multi-kilogram AgEq assays;The NW Step Out target shows potential to add an additional 30 to 50% of new resource to Tonopah West, allowing for the capture and inclusion of the NW resource (1.0M tonnes containing an inferred 6.4M ozs Ag and 63k ozs Au or 12.1M ozs AgEq)1 into a future updated preliminary economic assessment on Tonopah West; andSeven additional core holes are planned to reduce the spacing to 50-metre drill centres along a 450 metre portion of the trend.Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 24, 2025) - Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (OTCQX: BKRRF) (FSE: AHZ0) ("Blackrock" or the "Company") announces the first set of results from its exploration drill program (the "Resource Expansion Program") that is targeting expansion potential across a one kilometre trend of vein corridor linking the Denver-Paymaster ("DP") and Bermuda -Merten ("Bermuda) vein groups (collectively "DPB") and the Northwest ("NW") Step Out resource areas on its 100% owned Tonopah West project ("Tonopah West") located in Nye and Esmeralda Counties, Nevada, United States.The first assays from the Resource Expansion Program targeting the extension of the Tonopah West vein system returned results that confirm the Company's geologic model and will be followed up on over the coming months in an expanded program. The initial Resource Expansion Program consisted of nine core holes with reverse circulation (RC) pre-collars and two core holes drilled from the surface. A total of 6,548 metres (21,484 feet) of drilling was completed.The assay results show the extension of the silver and gold system continues to the northwest from the DPB resource area across the 1-kilometre vein corridor with each drillhole intersecting multiple mineralized quartz veins. A follow-up drill program is being planned that will reduce the drill spacing for over 450-metres of strike to 50 to 75-metre centers along the silver-gold trend that will be included in a future updated resource estimate. The NW Step Out zone is also open to the northwest and down dip, and connection with the DPB resource looks promising.The mineralized quartz veins returned significant gold and silver values with gold (Au) up to 23.467 grams per tonne (g/t) Au and silver (Ag) values at 2,223 g/t Ag. In addition, drill thickness shows significant potential with vein intercepts exceeding 8 metres in TXC25-124. The NW Step Out target shows potential to add an additional 30 to 50% of new resource Tonopah West, connecting the zone to DPB, allowing for the capture and inclusion of the existing NW resource (1.0 million (M) tonnes containing an inferred 6.4 M ounces (ozs) Ag and 63k ozs Au or 12.1M ozs silver equivalent (AgEq))1 into a future updated preliminary economic assessment on Tonopah West.Andrew Pollard, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer stated: "Initial assay results from our Resource Expansion Program have validated our geologic model, confirming multiple +1k g/t AgEq intercepts on the extension of the system across a host of veins over a 500-metre span of our one-kilometre gap. These results strengthen our confidence in adding both significant ounces and mine life at Tonopah West. Drilling has successfully connected high-grade mineralization within the southern portion of a one-kilometer gap within the vein corridor, linking the DPB resource area and mine plan to the 12-million-ounce AgEq NW Step Out deposit-excluded from our 2024 preliminary economic assessment. Initial results have successfully traced mineralized structures along a 500-metre extension of this zone, suggesting the potential to increase our existing mineral inventory by 30% to 50% and integrate the orphaned NW Step Out deposit. With our model becoming more robust, we are increasing expansion drilling with the goal of fully integrating the one-kilometre trend into our next preliminary economic assessment on Tonopah West, with an updated mineral resource estimate on Tonopah West planned in both Q3, 2025, in addition to a further updated mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment on Tonopah West scheduled for completion in Q2 2026."Table 1: Tonopah West Assay Intercepts using 150 g/t AgEq cut offDrillhole IDProgramFrom (m)To (m)Drillhole Interval (m)Ag g/tAu g/tAgEq g/tTXC24-113Expansion478.08478.390.31614.07.1401,256.7TXC24-113Expansion503.13504.661.52116.80.904198.2TXC24-113Expansion538.43540.111.68364.00.033367.0TXC24-114Expansion394.08395.631.5593.91.553233.7Including394.08394.410.34288.05.270762.4TXC25-123Expansion436.87437.540.67182.01.690334.1TXC25-123Expansion471.83474.883.05225.42.412442.5Including471.83472.140.312,223.023.4674,335.3TXC25-124Expansion370.03378.628.60121.61.233232.6Including371.55372.310.76778.67.8541,485.6TXC25-124Expansion407.40410.262.87176.81.785337.5Including407.40407.760.371,344.013.5002,559.2AgEq gpt=(Au gpt*90)+Ag gpt; True thickness unknown at this time; NSV=No values above cut off; Cut-off grade is 150 gpt AgEq; RC/Core = RC pre-collar with core tail; Core is core from the surface. Drillholes TXC24-106, -109, -110, and -111, drilled on the northern portion of the trend were too far east to reach the mineralized structures. Drillhole TXC24-108 cut multiple veins, but returned values below the cut-off grade (0.31 metres grading 117 g/t Ag, 0.165 g/t Au for 132 g/t AgEq; 0.67 metres grading 73 g/t Ag, 0.263 g/t Au for 96 g/t AgEq; and 0.64 metres yielding 50 g/t Ag, 0.24 g/t Au for 72 g/t AgEq starting at 578m, 590m and 631m respectively). TXC24-112 was drilled in a northwesterly direction and deviated to the northwest thereby paralleling the main structural grain. One drillhole, TXC24-107, which was cored from surface was lost before reaching the target depth.With drillholes TXC24-113, -114 and TXC25-123 and -124 cutting multiple high-grade veins, the exploration group has a better understanding of the geometry of the NW Step Out structures that will be used for refined targeting of our expanded Resource Expansion Program.Table 2: Tonopah West Drillhole Location Coordinates (based on GPS readings in the field, Datum UTM, NAD 1927, Zone 11)Drillhole IDAreaTypeUTM_NAD27 EUTM_NAD27 NElevation (m)Depth (m)AzimuthInclineTXC24-106NW Step OutRC/Core476887.14214846.11746.6770.5270-80TXC24-107NW Step OutLost476889.24214843.01746.9118.0230-65TXC24-108NW Step OutCore476891.54214844.81747.3713.4230-65TXC24-109NW Step OutRC/Core476911.14214747.81748.0657.5270-80TXC24-110NW Step OutRC/Core476925.94214639.91744.1657.5270-80TXC24-111NW Step OutRC/Core477058.84214642.71747.6708.7230-65TXC24-112NW Step OutRC/Core477316.74214181.81751.9737.0290-65TXC24-113NW Step OutRC/Core477311.24214181.01751.7540.1220-75TXC24-114NW Step OutRC/Core477403.84214041.91757.9618.1220-75TXC25-123NW Step OutRC/Core477508.74214018.01767.1502.3180-65TXC25-124NW Step OutRC/Core477647.04213941.21763.5525.5180-60 Figure 1 is a plan map showing the location of all the drillholes in the Resource Expansion Program and highlighting those mentioned in this news release.Figure 1: Drillhole location map of the Resource Expansion Program showing drillholes mentioned in this news release.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/676/241966_2d02b911645078a6_001full.jpgQuality Assurance/ Quality ControlAll sampling is conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists, and a strict chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility is implemented and monitored.
