Fujitsu and Nagoya University develop simulation tech to combat transportation gaps

Kawasaki and Nagoya, Japan, July 24, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Nagoya University, a member of the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System (THERS), have jointly developed a technology to encourage the use of new transportation services and eliminate transportation gaps. The “social acceptance model-based simulation (SAMSIM)” simulates how psychological factors influence residents' willingness to use new transportation options and combined with AI-powered digital rehearsal technology, it allows for proactive evaluation of strategies to ensure successful service adoption.Ride-sharing and self-driving cars have emerged as ways to address transportation gaps as populations age and driver shortages persist. However, the ease with which these new services are accepted varies depending on various psychological factors such as perceived safety, trust, and usefulness. To promote usage of these services, it is necessary to accurately understand the psychological factors that impact people's willingness to try them create measures that encourage behavioral change.Simulations using this technology showed that strategically timed and targeted public awareness campaigns could increase usage intent by approximately 20%. This research is a key outcome of the Fujitsu-Nagoya University Social Digital Twin Research Division at the Fujitsu Small Research Lab [1]. A demonstration of the technology will be accessible through the Fujitsu Research Portal starting August 1, 2025.Overview and background of the technologyThe "Social Acceptance Model," developed by Nagoya University, provides a framework for understanding the psychological drivers behind transportation choices. By integrating this model with Fujitsu's agent simulation digital rehearsal technology, which accurately reproduces and predicts human behavior on digital twins, the system can assess how various interventions – such as targeted advertising or other service improvements – will affect residents' perceptions and consequently their willingness to use the service.To verify the effectiveness of this technology, Fujitsu utilized the data from a field experiment of an on-demand ride-sharing taxi service conducted by Kawanishi Town in Nara Prefecture and CHUO FUKKEN CONSULTANTS CO.,LTD. in fiscal year 2023. In addition, Nagoya University conducted a 48-point survey to clarify the psychological factors that influence the intention to use on-demand ride-sharing taxis and obtained responses from approximately 1,200 people (15% of the local population).Based on this survey data, the simulation was built to replicate residents' choices regarding the service. The model succeeded in reproducing the actual usage trends of on-demand transportation in Kawanishi Town, achieving accuracy of 90%.Using this simulation, the two parties optimized two key measures – "public awareness activities" and "service expansion by increasing the number of vehicles" – for the two psychological factors that were estimated to have a strong impact on usage intention: "awareness of the service" and " perceived usefulness." The simulation specifically revealed that strategically improving the timing and frequency of the distribution of promotional materials and the increase of the number of available taxis could significantly reduce reservation failures and boost usage intention by approximately 20%, leading to a greater service sustainability.Figure 1: Overview of social acceptance model-based simulationFigure 2: Overview and results of the initiativesIsao Kita, Director of the Comprehensive Policy Division, Kawanishi Town, Nara Prefecture, comments:“I believe that pre-emptive consideration of transportation policies based on digital rehearsal technology will make it easier for local governments to consider measures amidst increasingly complex social issues. The possibilities are fascinating.”Future plansBy fiscal 2026, Fujitsu and Nagoya University will continue to conduct demonstration experiments and aim to develop this technology into a solution that suggests measures to improve adoption of new transportation services using data gained from small-scale resident surveys. Going forward, both parties will apply this technology to the design of public services in a wide range of fields, including healthcare, medicine, urban development, and environmental measures, in addition to the mobility sector, thereby improving people's well-being through converging technologies that combine the digital realm and humanities and social sciences.[1] Fujitsu Small Research Lab:Established in 2023.

China’s Largest Agricultural Internet Company Yimutian Set to List on Nasdaq

HONG KONG, July 23, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Yimutian Inc., a leading B2B digital service provider for agricultural products in China, filed a prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 9, seeking to list on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol YMT. The offering price range is set at $4.10 to $5.00 per share, and aiming to raise up to $20 million. Chairman Jinhong Deng and his team are currently conducting a roadshow in the U.S., showcasing Yimutian's unique business model and its profound impact on Chinese agriculture, with the listing expected to be completed by the end of July.Founded in 2011, Yimutian has evolved from a basic information service platform into a comprehensive digital agriculture enterprise covering the entire agricultural supply chain. To date, it has served over 56 million users and  attracted investments from top-tier firms such as Sequoia Capital, Yunfeng Capital, and DST Global. Today, it stands as the leading agricultural internet company in China.According to its prospectus, Yimutian is the largest agricultural B2B platform in mainland China in terms of monthly active merchants in 2024. Its core business revolves around the Yimutian app, a digital platform connecting supply and demand for agricultural products. The app primarily serves farm-origin brokers, wholesale market buyers, supermarkets, and e-commerce platforms.Agricultural brokers form a key user base for Yimutian a reflection of the unique dynamics of Chinese agriculture. According to the USDA's 2022 Agricultural Census,the U.S. has approximately 1.9 million family farms covering 880 million acres,with an average farm size of 463 acres and sales primarily through direct channels.In stark contrast, China's agricultural landscape is dominated by smallholder farmers: more than 98% of farmers cultivate over 70% of the country's farmland, with per capita arable land standing at just 0.5 acres. This fragmented, non-standardized production system creates a critical role for brokers, who connect farmers and buyers, managing sourcing, preparation, and logistics. Estimates suggest there are approximately 6 million such farm brokers in China.So far, nearly 800,000 of these brokers are already active on the Yimutian platform - a number that continues to grow annually. Many brokers pay for exposure through ads and verification services, generating revenue for the company. Thanks to its stable internet-driven business, Yimutian reported 2024 revenue of RMB 160 million (approximately $22 million).The market potential is immense. According to Frost & Sullivan, China's primary agricultural product circulation reached RMB 5.5 trillion (around $760 billion) in 2024. As new consumption trends such as e-commerce and group buying reshape the market, more brokers are sourcing directly from production areas - creating fresh opportunities for digitized brokerage services.In 2024,to meet the growing demand for professional and standardized brokerage services, Yimutian launched its offline chain store brand 'Wolaicai'. Leveraging 14 years of accumulated buyer channels and market data, the company uses digital tools, the internet,and Al to redesign a more standardized and efficient brokerage process.These stores provide buyers with nationwide sourcing, accurate market insights, professional fulfillment,and reliable after-sales services.Wolaicai's model is reminiscent of Beike (KE Holdings), the NYSE-listed real estate brokerage platform, though focused on agriculture rather than housing. Like Beike, Wolaicai aims to standardize and scale the brokerage industry. Dozens of Wolaicai stores have already opened across China, with more in the pipeline.Beike, at its peak, achieved a market capitalization exceeding $60 billion, serving 46,000 stores and about 500,000 agents. The agricultural brokerage sector dwarfs this in terms of agent numbers and transaction volumes. Farm brokers typically earn commissions of 5% or more - significantly higher than the 1-3% seen in real estate - and transaction frequency is far greater. With its deep digital roots and robust data assets, Wolaicai is positioned to unlock substantial growth in this trillion-dollar market.Currently, Chinese agricultural companies listed in the U.S.are primarily traditional input suppliers or livestock enterprises.Yimutian stands out as the only internet-based company covering China's entire agricultural supply chain. This positions it to fully apitalize onChina's policy support for rural development and to lead in discovering and driving innovative business opportunities.Yimutian's listing marks a significant milestone for Chinese digital agricultural technology companies on the global stage.It offers global investors an unprecedented opportunity to participate in China's booming rural revitalization efforts and share in the value growth of China's agricultural modernization.Contact: pr-team@intelligentjoy.com Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Prototype divertor outer vertical target for the ITER fusion experimental reactor is completed and the sample has passed the ITER Organization’s certification test

- Rationalization of domestic production technologies and strengthening of the system in Japan for manufacturing divertor outer vertical targets for ITER- Seeking to contribute to the ITER Project and provide components for the prototype reactor for fusion energy and startup machinesTOKYO, July 23, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, "Hitachi") and the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (“QST”) began developing a second prototype, a full-scale mockup of an outer vertical target*1 which is one of the most important components of a divertor in January 2022. Divertors are important pieces of components used in the ITER fusion*2 experimental reactor that is under construction in Southern France. With streamlining the production method through measures such as the introduction of an automatic welding system as detailed below, we completed the second prototype in March 2025. Furthermore, we today announce that a high-heat-load sample of an outer vertical target has passed the rigorous certification test by the ITER Organization, which constructs and operates ITER as an international organization. Hitachi's production technologies have earned significant recognition following the preceding company which completed the first prototype with QST in July 2024.*1 QST will deliver 58 outer vertical targets to the ITER Organization. The preceding company manufactured 18 of these. The company that will manufacture the remaining 40 targets will be decided later.*2 Fusion is the source of the energy that keeps the sun shining. To realize fusion energy on Earth, it is necessary to use nuclear fusion reactions where deuterium, tritium and other light atomic nuclei fuse in a plasma state and become heavier atomic nuclei such as helium. Lithium, the raw material for tritium, and Deuterium are abundantly available in seawater. Additionally, the generation of fusion energy does not result in the generation of CO₂. For this reason, fusion energy is expected to fundamentally solve energy and environmental issues. See *5 regarding plasma.Utilizing the technologies and knowledge obtained through the production of the prototype, Hitachi and QST will continue to contribute to the promotion of the ITER Project and also cooperate in the development of technologies for realizing fusion energy in the future. In addition, Hitachi seeks to provide divertors and similar in-vessel components to fusion energy-related startups and a prototype fusion reactor for which QST is investigating the design.The second prototype outer vertical targetHigh-heat-load sample of an outer vertical targetOutline of ITER and divertorsTo realize fusion energy, seven regions including Japan, Europe, the United States, Russia, South Korea, China and India are promoting the ITER Project, a large international project aimed at conducting scientific and technological demonstrations of fusion. With the goal of achieving full operation through nuclear fusion burning, the ITER experimental reactor is under construction in Saint-Paul-les-Durance, France. Japan is taking on important roles such as the development and production of major pieces of ITER components including divertors and toroidal field coils (TF coils). QST is the ITER Project's agent in Japan and it promotes the procurement of equipment.The divertor is one of the most important components of a tokamak*3 and other magnetic confinement*4 fusion reactors. Divertors play an important role in maintaining the stability of the nuclear fusion reaction and exhausting impurities such as fuel residue and the helium generated by the nuclear fusion reaction in the reactor core plasma.*5 Divertors are the only tokamak devices capable of directly receiving plasma. They are used in a severe environment where they are exposed to heat load and particle load from the plasma. For this reason, special materials such as tungsten are used to make them. Tungsten has a high-melting-point but it is difficult to machine. Moreover, the plasma-facing surfaces are precisely shaped, requiring high-precision machining and assembly technologies to achieve the correct overall shape, inclination, steps and gaps that are accurate to 0.5 mm or less. It is believed that divertors are the hardest piece of the ITER in-vessel components to manufacture.*3 The method, represented by ITER and JT-60SA, retains an ultra-high temperature plasma that is more than 100 million degrees or higher within a strong magnetic field in a vacuum, and nuclear fusion reactions occur within the plasma. See *5 regarding plasma. See *11 for information about JT-60SA.*4 Fusion plasma is at very high temperature and cannot be kept in a conventional container, but it retains positively or negatively charged ions and characteristically becomes entangled in magnetic fields (lines of magnetic force). Using these characteristics, a magnetic confinement fusion reactor forms a basket-like magnetic field to retain plasma.*5 Plasma is one of the four basic states of matter. It is the fourth state next to solid, liquid and gas. When matter is exposed to very high temperatures or a strong electromagnetic field, atoms break down and separate to positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons, and they form plasma.The heat load on divertors reaches a maximum of 20 megawatts per square meter. This is equivalent to the surface heat load that an asteroid probe is exposed to when entering the atmosphere and much more than the surface heat load the space shuttle was subjected to. Outer vertical targets need to have a strong mechanical structure because they are subject to strong electromagnetic forces that can reach an approx. maximum of 16.5 tons. The establishment of technology for making divertors resistant to high heat loads and huge electromagnetic forces is a very important part of increasing the power output of fusion reactors, reducing the size of the reactors or increasing their magnetic fields in the future.Characteristics of the technology for the production of the second prototypeQST leads the manufacturers' material development efforts, regarding them as key technology for enabling divertors to withstand heat load that can be as high as 20 megawatts per square meter. Consequently, the company established methods of producing tungsten monoblocks*6 which do not break even under heat load, and copper alloy cooling pipes which are kept strong by maintaining high thermal conductivity while limiting the coarsening of their crystal grain. To bond these materials together, a brazing*7 technology that is resistant to high heat load has also been developed.*6 This is one of the components of the outer vertical targets that are a combination of tungsten, a metal that is resistant to heat load, and a copper buffer material.*7 A method of bonding metals. The technology uses a metal called a brazing material to bond base materials to each other. In contrast, welding is a method of bonding metals by welding a base material.By combining technologies and experience which are accumulated over many years in the nuclear energy business, Hitachi has developed a defect-free, high-quality welding technology for special materials and a non-destructive technology for inspecting restricted and complex shapes, and repeated demonstration testing has shown that Hitachi has achieved the high-precision machining and assembly technology that is accurate to 0.5 mm or less, a requirement of the ITER Organization. To rationalize production processes and costs, an automatic welding system optimized specially for divertors was introduced for welding thick, high-strength stainless steel. Instead of manual work, a robotic arm with a welding torch attached is combined with a device that controls the position of the object to be welded in synchronization with the movement of the robotic arm, resulting in higher quality welding at low cost.The special materials necessary for outer vertical targets are procured by QST from material manufacturers and are supplied to Hitachi which uses the special materials provided by QST to machine and assemble outer vertical targets in a strictly quality-controlled process. QST maintains and uses a high-temperature helium leak test facility*8 for the in-vessel components of fusion reactors that is the only one of its kind in Japan, and it independently conducts final tests to ensure the quality of the divertors.*8 The test facility uses helium gas to check for leaks with high precision at a high temperature of 250'C which is the environment that divertors will be used in.Initiatives implemented by Hitachi and QST to dateTo date, Hitachi and QST have been developing and manufacturing an ultra-high-voltage power supply system*9 with a voltage of 1 million volts for neutral beam injectors*10 for ITER. Currently, a system is being tested in Italy. Production of the devices to be delivered to France has commenced at Hitachi's factory. To realize fusion energy quickly, efforts are under way in Japan to reinforce neutral beam injectors for JT-60SA,*11 the world's largest superconducting tokamak device built jointly by Japan and Europe in parallel with the ITER Project.*9 The system supplies the power needed to actuate neutral beam injectors.*10  The device for injecting high-energy hydrogen atoms into plasma to heat the plasma. It heats the plasma to an ultra-high temperature of more than 100 million degrees, the temperature at which a nuclear fusion reaction occurs.*11  For information about JT-60SA, see the explanation about the JT-60SA Project on the website of the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology.Website about Hitachi's fusion businesshttps://www.hitachi.co.jp/products/energy/nuclear/accelerator/index.htmlAbout Hitachi, Ltd.Through its Social Innovation Business (SIB) that brings together IT, OT(Operational Technology) and products, Hitachi contributes to a harmonized society where the environment, wellbeing, and economic growth are in balance.

Launch of Beova(R) Tablets in Thailand for Overactive Bladder

TOKYO, July 23, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) and KYORIN Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.(Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Yutaka Ogihara, “KYORIN”) announced today that Eisai (Thailand) Marketing Co., Ltd. (“Eisai Thailand”), a subsidiary of Eisai, has launched overactive bladder treatment Beova® Tablets (generic name vibegron) in Thailand.In 2021, Eisai acquired exclusive development and marketing rights from KYORIN for the agent in ASEAN member states Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei. Eisai Thailand submitted an application for marketing authorization in Thailand in March 2023, and received approval in June 2024. This launch is the first within Eisai’s licensed region. In addition to the release in Thailand, approval has also been obtained in the Philippines and Malaysia, with preparations underway for market entry.Overactive bladder (OAB) is a urological condition with trouble in pooling urine in the bladder. It's predominant symptom is an urge to urinate, which is often accompanied by frequent urination and nocturia, and in some cases by urge urinary incontinence. One of the major problems of OAB is the fact that patients refrain from leaving the house due to anxiety about going to the bathroom, cannot get enough sleep at night, or face limitations in their daily activities, which could lead to significantly-reduced quality of life.Appropriate treatment is necessary for OAB, which increases with age but has also been reported to becaused by brain or spinal cord disorders such as cerebrovascular diseases (cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction), Parkinson's disease, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.1 The prevalence of OAB in Thailand is reported to be 15.8%.2This agent is a selective B3-adrenergic receptor agonist administered once daily, acting selectively on B3 receptors in the bladder, relaxing the bladder to enhance urine collection, and consequently improving the symptoms of urgency, urinary frequency and urge urinary incontinence associated with OAB.In September 2009, KYORIN and Eisai signed a license agreement for the development and marketing in Asia of Uritos® Tablets (generic name: imidafenacin), a therapeutic agent for overactive bladder, discovered and developed by KYORIN, and as of today Eisai sells Uritos in Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. In addition to Uritos, Eisai will provide patients with new treatment options for OAB through the launch of Beova in Thailand and make further contributions to improving the quality of life and increasing benefits to patients with OAB in Asia.1. About Eisai Co., Ltd.Eisai's Corporate Concept is "to give first thought to patients and people in the daily living domain, and to increase the benefits that health care provides."

About vibegronVibegron was discovered by Merck & Co., Rahway, N.J., U.S.A. (known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada) as a once-daily oral treatment for overactive bladder (OAB), which acts selectively on the bladder's B3-adrenergic receptor agonists. Vibegron selectively acts on B3 receptors in the bladder and increases bladder capacity by enhancing the bladder-relaxing effect of noradrenaline during the urinary storage phase, resulting in the improvement of incontinence symptoms of urinary urgency, frequent urination and urge urinary incontinence with OAB. KYORIN has obtained exclusive rights for developing, manufacturing and marketing of this drug in Japan (July 2014) and Asia* (April2017) from Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, N.J., U.S.A.In Eisai’s licensed territories (Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei), in addition to it's new launch in Thailand, approvals have been obtained in the Philippines and Malaysia, with preparations underway for market entry. In Japan, KYORIN and Kissei have jointly developed the agent locally under a co-development and co-marketing agreement entered into as of March 2016. Since November 2018, the two companies have been jointly marketing it under the product name of “Beova® Tablets 50mg”.*South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and 10 member states of ASEAN1 Clinical Guidelines for Overactive Bladder Syndrome 3rd Edition (Japanese only)2 ICS2024 Abstract 554 https://www.ics.org/2024/abstract/554Media InquiriesEisai Co., Ltd.Public Relations DepartmentTEL: +81-(0)3-3817-5120KYORIN Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.Corporate PlanningTEL: +81-(0)3-6374-9702   Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Military Metals Announces Grab Sample Results up to 40.6% Antimony and 106.5 gpt Gold from Stockpile of Historically Mined Material at West Gore Antimony-Gold Project, Nova Scotia

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - July 22, 2025) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") reports the analyses of five samples of antimony (stibnite) and gold-rich mineralized material taken from a historical mine stockpile at the Company's 100% owned past producing West Gore antimony-gold project ("West Gore" or "the Project") located in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada. These samples were collected as part of efforts to characterize the historical deposit to optimize initial exploration methods. These high-grade results support the documented grades of material historically mined between 1914-1917 when West Gore was one of Canada's most significant antimony producers during World War One, to support the allied war effort. These results complement the announcement on July 8, 2025 that the Company had identified new drill targets extending well beyond the area of previous mining, plans to commence a drill program are currently being finalized.Historical Stockpile Sample Highlights:Highest grade sample returned 40.6 percent (%) Antimony and 106.5 Grams Per Tonne (gpt) in sample 247228 (Antimony samples ranged from 2.12% to 40.6%, gold samples ranged from 11.75 gpt to 106.5 gptAdditional high-grade antimony results included 23.5% and 18.1% in samples 247230 and 247232, respectivelyAdditional high-grade gold results included 27.4 gpt and 25.8 gpt in samples 247232 and 247230, respectivelyAverage antimony results over all five samples of 17.94%Average gold results over all five samples of 34.68 gpt3 high priority drill targets that were never previously identified will be drill tested in an upcoming work programScott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals, stated: "The recent samples collected of up to 40.6% antimony seen in massive stibnite, the mineral that hosts antimony, from our project area have returned some spectacular results, reinforcing our exploration plan to commence drilling. With additional exploration, we can further unlock the potential of our asset and, play a strategic role in the critical minerals supply chain at a time when secure, domestic sources of antimony are in growing demand. Today's results also demonstrate the gold values that could be an important by-product or co-product as we prepare to drill. We are extremely encouraged by the high antimony and gold grades of these five specimens from the past producing mine at our Nova Scotia project. We look forward to advancing this discovery through further exploration and unlocking its full value for our shareholders. Nova Scotia's government, led by Environment Minister Tim Halman, has announced updates to the approval process for metal-mining projects aimed at accelerating timelines. In summary, the new rules are designed to streamline mining approvals and benefit industry progress."Summary of Results:Historical documentation reports that 32,000 metric tons were mined at West Gore in turn producing 7,000 metric tons of concentrate grading 46% antimony yielding 3,220 metric tons of antimony metal, and 6,861 ounces of gold (source: NI 43-101 Technical Report for the West Gore Sb-Au Project, May 25, 2021, prepared by M.S. King, PGeo & M.C. Corey PGeo, May 25, 2021, for Battery Elements Corp). This indicates recovered grades of 10.06% antimony and 0.21 ounces per ton (6.5 gpt) gold, historically. Historical mining was both small-scale and selective, almost certainly enhanced by hand sorting at surface prior to processing. Commercial production ceased in 1917.Table 1 below displays the analytical results for antimony and gold from the five samples. Antimony varies from a low of 2.12 to a high of 40.6%, for an average of 17.94%; gold varies from a low of 11.75 to a high of 106.5 gpt, for an average of 34.68 gpt (uncapped). These grades support the accuracy of historical documentation of mined grades. Of mineralogical interest is the fact that two of the samples, 247230 and 247231, ran 2.01 and 2.81% lead, respectively.Table 1: Sample ResultsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/259593_6c12fb9e645578af_001full.jpgNote: Grab samples are selective by nature and samples visually estimated to be high-grade were intentionally selected for characterization in this exercise. The results presented in this news release should not be considered overall representative of the historically exploited West Gore deposit or the stockpile from which they were chosen. The historical nature of this stockpile is unknown.Image 1: Sample 247228 Demonstrating Massive StibniteTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/259593_6c12fb9e645578af_002full.jpgQuality Assurance and Quality Control:The samples were analyzed at the laboratories of ALS Canada in Vancouver. Samples were crushed, split, ground, split, and a 35 gram portion subjected to a four-acid digestion followed by Induction Coupled Plasma ("ICP") - Mass Spectrometry ("MS") analysis. Over-limit samples for gold and antimony (all five of them) were analyzed by fire assay and ICP- Atomic Emission Spectrometry ("AES") analysis, respectively. Internal Quality Assurance - Quality Control protocols were followed by the lab including blanks, standards, and duplicates to ensure analytical accuracy.Mining History and Geology of the Region:Gold in Nova Scotia was first discovered in 1860, which led to gold rushes throughout many parts of the province over the years following. Gold production in the Rawdon hills began in 1884 and continued until 1932 from several mines. Gold deposits of Nova Scotia's Meguma Terrane typically occur as relatively shallow-dipping, bedding-parallel "saddle reef" type vein systems controlled by regional fold structures. Gold deposits of the Rawdon area, which is found at the east edge of West Gore, are uniquely characterized by the occurrence of steeply east-dipping gold-bearing veins striking north-northwest across bedding. The Government of Nova Scotia's Mineral Occurrence Database reports that historical production from the Rawdon Hills area mines totaled 13,494 ounces.

Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the three events brought together more than 770 exhibitors, combining the fun of reading, sports, leisure and food to create a summer extravaganza with widespread appeal. Although the passage of the typhoon forced a full-day closure on Sunday, the three exhibitions still attracted 890,000 visits.Sophia Chong, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said: “The Hong Kong Book Fair has long been a popular event for local people and visitors alike. The enthusiasm of booklovers remained undiminished despite the typhoon on Sunday. Many seized the time before and after the typhoon to visit and immerse themselves in this cultural and leisure extravaganza, with a robust turnout. We extended the opening hours on Monday, striving to secure more sales and visiting opportunities for exhibitors and visitors and bring this big summer event to a successful close.”Ms Chong added that this year's 35th edition of the Book Fair, themed “Food Culture: Future Living”, featured three special offers that were well received, including free admission for more than 10,000 individuals born in 1990. “These initiatives received an enthusiastic response, with seminars reaching full capacity. Esteemed writers from various regions engaged with booklovers, further cementing Hong Kong’s position as an east-meets-west centre for international cultural exchange,” she said.In conjunction with the Book Fair, the Sports and Leisure Expo and World of Snacks offered a diverse range of experiences and culinary delights, creating synergies for visitors and enhancing the overall event experience. The HKTDC will continue to organise a variety of exhibitions, with the Food Expo, Food Expo PRO, Beauty & Wellness Expo, Home Delights Expo, and Hong Kong International Tea Fair all taking place in August. The overarching goal is to present exhibitors with new business opportunities that can contribute to the sustained growth and vibrancy of the Hong Kong economy.Enthusiasm of booklovers remains high despite typhoonBig crowds of visitors were seen throughout the Book Fair. Exhibitor Creation Cabin Limited, which experienced long queues as soon as the fair opened, followed the Kowloon Walled City craze to launch Citi of Darkness: The Rise within the Walls 1973-1988, attracting many Japanese readers. Editor Shing Kit said: "We saw about 30 to 40 Japanese readers visiting our booth each day. One of them had even made a special effort to renew their passport to travel to Hong Kong to purchase the book at the Book Fair, which is truly touching."First-time exhibitor Anything But also experienced long queues. Booth representative Ms Tai stated that business surpassed expectations, with sales in the first three days exceeding their projections by 30%. Although the typhoon caused a one-day halt, the overall results still beat their estimates. "The Book Fair is a great opportunity for us to connect with readers,” she said. “In addition to local booklovers, many readers travelled to Hong Kong from Macao, Singapore and Malaysia, and one even rescheduled a flight to arrive earlier on Saturday because of the typhoon."An antiquities shop specialising in calligraphy and artworks, Tsi Ku Chai was also participating in the exhibition for the first time, meticulously crafting their booth in the new Cultural and Creative Products Zone of the Book Fair. Brian Lai, Administrative Director of the company, said: "Business on Saturday doubled compared to weekdays, with many young people visiting. We aim to rejuvenate our brand by collaborating with artists to launch cultural and creative products, and the Book Fair served as an excellent testing ground for this."Long-time visitor Ms Lee attended the Book Fair this year before the typhoon hit Hong Kong and was pleased with the atmosphere and arrangements. She mentioned that she couldn’t explore the entire fair in one day, so upon learning about the early opening on Monday, she decided to visit again and continue searching for her favourite items, mainly purchasing stationery and speciality products. She spent nearly HK$2,000 in total this year, which is more than in previous years.Over 50% of Book Fair visitors attended to explore new booksDuring the Book Fair, more than 860 visitors were interviewed by a research institute commissioned by the HKTDC to gain insights into their reading and spending habits.
