SYDNEY, June 19 -- Trupeer AI, the workflow knowledge layer for teams and AI agents, today announced the appointment of Raghu Subramanian as President and Chief Business Officer as the company accelerates its expansion in Australia, a high-readiness enterprise technology market where advanced AI adoption is outpacing the knowledge infrastructure needed to support it. Backed by RTP Global, Salesforce Ventures and trusted by more than 50,000 teams in over 100 countries and over 120 languages, Trupeer is strengthening its leadership team to scale adoption across Australian enterprises, technology-led organisations.    Australia's tech sector contributed AUD 248.5 billion in 2025, growing 50% faster than the broader economy, yet 150,000+ businesses report digital capability shortages and 51% of workers lack at least one required skill, a gap worth AUD 25 billion if closed by 2035. With over one million tech workers and advanced enterprise AI adoption underway, agentic deployments are surfacing the knowledge-infrastructure problem Trupeer was built to solve. For Australian enterprises operating across borders, Trupeer's 120-language platform ensures knowledge captured locally is distributed seamlessly across global teams. Customers have reported significant outcomes, including 75% faster onboarding and software implementation time-to-value, and a 60% reduction in support tickets through self-serve knowledge. Raghu joins from a distinguished career at the forefront of enterprise automation. As a founding member of the management team at UiPath, he was part of the core executive team that helped build the company into a $35+ billion NYSE-listed enterprise. He established UiPath's APAC operations in 2016 and later served as President & CEO for India and APAC. Raghu's experience scaling enterprise technology businesses across the Asia-Pacific region gives him direct insight into the operational and knowledge challenges Australian enterprises. Bringing over 25 years of enterprise technology leadership, Raghu has built and scaled enterprise businesses across global markets, with deep expertise in automation, business process management, and enterprise AI adoption.

His expertise will help us strengthen our commercial capabilities, deepen partnerships, and unlock the next phase of growth at Trupeer." Raghu Subramanian, President and Chief Business Officer, Trupeer AI, said, "Enterprises have long struggled to get real value from AI, and the reason is fragmented context. As businesses operate across languages, geographies, and distributed teams, critical knowledge often becomes difficult to access, share, and act on consistently. The knowledge that makes AI useful sits trapped in people's heads and scattered across tools. In the agentic AI era, where agents are only as good as the context they run on, that gap becomes the difference between AI that works and doesn't. This is the gap Trupeer was built to close. I look forward to partnering with enterprises and organisations across the globe to build the context layer that makes enterprise knowledge structured, accessible, and actionable, and AI genuinely useful." About Trupeer Trupeer AI is the workflow knowledge layer for enterprises that enables teams and AI agents.

GEORGE TOWN, JUNE 18 -- Penang is continuing with plans to establish the Penang International Financial Centre (PIFC) as part of efforts to produce more champion local companies, with the initiative's white paper expected to be completed by the end of July or early August this year. Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the document would provide a comprehensive development framework for the centre, as well as outline implementation steps to realise the initiative. "If we are really serious about creating champion-level local companies, we also need to develop the financial infrastructure that will enable them to grow. That is why we are continuing to develop PIFC." "High-growth companies need more than conventional financing. They need access to venture capital, private equity, cross-border investment networks and capital market expertise," he said when delivering his keynote address at the Penang Economic Forum 2026 here today. The one-day forum was jointly organised by RHB Banking Group and Penang Institute. Chow said PIFC aims to attract capital inflows, support Penang's technology ecosystem and provide wider access to local businesses for financing and advisory services to enable them to innovate, expand operations internationally and subsequently be listed on the stock exchange. He said Penang is home to more than 6,500 manufacturing-related small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as more than 350 multinational companies, with many local companies now part of the global supply chain. However, the next challenge is to help SMEs move further up the value chain through innovation generation, intellectual property ownership, increased international competitiveness and better access to capital markets. “As of May 17, 2026, Penang only has 106 publicly listed companies. For a state that contributes significantly to Malaysia's exports and manufacturing output, I believe we are capable of achieving more than that. "Every successful listed company started as an SME. SkyeChip, Pentamaster, ViTrox or the next regional technology company could be among the attendees in this hall today," he said. -- BERNAMA

MOU to evaluate microwave calcination technology as a key enabling step in PMET's downstream strategy, leveraging the potential use of Québec's low-cost renewable hydroelectricity to support on-site lithium chemical processing MONTREAL, June 18 -- June 18, 2026 – Sydney, Australia Highlights PMET has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ("Mitsui") and Microwave Chemical Co., Ltd. ("MWCC") to jointly evaluate the application of MWCC's proprietary microwave calcination technology to produce higher-value lithium products on-site at Shaakichiuwaanaan. The collaboration builds on PMET's recently announced Concept Study (refer to News Release, 14 June 2026), which identified a potential pathway to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate at site and capture additional value within the lithium supply chain.   Microwave calcination has the potential to support electric calcination at site, which is the first step in the production of value-added lithium chemicals from spodumene concentrate, leveraging Québec's low-cost, renewable hydroelectric power as a potential alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based calcination. Pilot plant testing in Osaka will use spodumene samples supplied from Shaakichiuwaanaan, with MWCC leading the technical testing program and Mitsui supporting the evaluation of future commercialization and project development pathways. The initiative is aligned with PMET's longer term diversification strategy to reduce logistics intensity and enhance supply chain resilience, with potential benefits including reduced transportation requirements and lower truck traffic, reduced reliance on offshore conversion capacity, and the creation of a higher-value lithium product in Québec. The MOU is non-binding and non-exclusive, and any future commercial deployment remains subject to successful testing and demonstration at scale, technical and economic evaluation, definitive agreements, funding, permitting, approvals and other customary conditions. Ken Brinsden, CEO and Managing Director, comments: "This collaboration is a direct extension of the downstream growth strategy we outlined recently for Shaakichiuwaanaan. Our Concept Study identified a potential pathway to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate on site, and microwave calcination now represents an opportunity to evaluate one of the key enabling technologies that could support that vision. "Shaakichiuwaanaan is already one of the world's premier hard-rock lithium projects, and the collaboration with Mitsui and Microwave Chemical represents another important step in our strategy to evaluate additional value-creation opportunities beyond spodumene concentrate. "This MOU brings together PMET's high-quality lithium resource, MWCC's proprietary microwave calcination technology, and Mitsui's global project development and commercialization capabilities. It is an important next step in assessing how Shaakichiuwaanaan can leverage Québec's low-cost renewable hydroelectricity into a more integrated, Western-facing lithium supply chain that supports Québec, Canada and allied markets," added Mr. Brinsden. PMET Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "PMET") (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Microwave Chemical Co., Ltd. to jointly evaluate the application of proprietary microwave calcination technology to spodumene samples from the Company's 100%-owned Shaakichiuwaanaan Project, located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec, Canada. Background Calcination is a key initial processing step in the conversion of spodumene concentrate into downstream lithium chemicals, using heat to convert alpha-spodumene into beta-spodumene for subsequent lithium extraction. Historically, fossil fuels have been the key energy source (in the form of gas and/or coal) to create significant heat and the overall energy required to undertake the phase change (from alpha to beta spodumene). Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ("Mitsui") and Microwave Chemical Co., Ltd. ("MWCC") have launched a demonstration experiment for the joint development of microwave-based low-carbon lithium ore refining technology. Mitsui provides more information regarding their microwave calcination collaboration with MWCC, on their website. Québec's large-scale and renewable hydroelectricity scheme generates some of the lowest cost power available in North America. Harnessing this power for application in the spodumene calcination step (i.e. replacing fossil fuels) could represent a key source of competitive advantage for downstream initiatives and therefore motivates PMET Resources to continue its assessment of further value-added and downstream product initiatives at Shaakichiuwaanaan. Advancing PMET's Downstream Development Pathway On 14 June 2026, PMET announced the results of a Concept Study evaluating opportunities to convert spodumene concentrate produced at Shaakichiuwaanaan into higher-value lithium chemical products at site. The study identified Primero's ALi® atmospheric leach process as the preferred pathway for further evaluation and successfully produced 99.8% battery-grade lithium carbonate from Shaakichiuwaanaan spodumene concentrate at bench scale. A key conclusion of that work was that the combination of electric calcination and downstream lithium conversion could potentially leverage Québec's low-cost renewable hydroelectricity to create a more efficient and lower-carbon lithium supply chain while reducing logistics intensity and increasing value capture within Québec and Canada. The Mitsui-MWCC collaboration is intended to evaluate microwave-assisted electric calcination as a potential enabling technology within this broader downstream development strategy. PMET – MWCC – Mitsui & Co. MoU The MOU establishes a collaborative framework for the parties to advance technical evaluation, and potential future commercialization pathways for microwave calcination technology in the lithium industry. Under the terms of the MOU: PMET will supply spodumene raw material samples from Shaakichiuwaanaan for pilot plant testing, with 1.5 tonnes of 6.2% Li2O course spodumene concentrate already shipped to the Osaka pilot facility from its prior pilot DMS testwork programs. MWCC will lead the execution of pilot plant testing using its proprietary microwave calcination technology, and Mitsui will contribute to the evaluation of the pilot plant results from a project development perspective and where supported will facilitate discussions for potential future commercialization pathways. The collaboration is intended to assess whether microwave calcination could support PMET's broader value-added downstream products strategy, including the potential production of a lithium-enriched product at site. PMET believes Shaakichiuwaanaan is uniquely positioned to evaluate this opportunity given its scale, location in Québec, potential access to renewable hydroelectric power, and the potential to support a more integrated Western lithium chemicals supply chain. If successfully developed, electric calcination at or near the mine site could support the use of Québec's low-cost renewable power, reduce reliance on offshore conversion capacity, lower logistics intensity, and significantly reduce the amount of material transported from site by upgrading spodumene concentrate into a higher-value lower volume lithium product. The Company's concept study to date has identified meaningful potential benefits from on-site conversion, including reduced transport volumes, reduced logistics costs, reduced truck movements, and the potential to support a lower-carbon lithium chemical supply chain. The collaboration with Mitsui and MWCC is expected to focus specifically on the calcination stage as a potential enabling step in this broader downstream pathway. Following completion of pilot plant testing by MWCC, the parties expect to review the results and discuss whether to proceed with further evaluation and commercialization-oriented discussions relating to the potential application of microwave calcination technology to PMET's Shaakichiuwaanaan project. The parties may also coordinate efforts to evaluate potential government funding opportunities where aligned with critical minerals strategies and clean energy objectives. The MOU is non-binding and non-exclusive, except for customary provisions including confidentiality and related matters. Any future commercial arrangement, project development structure, technology deployment, financing or construction decision remains subject to successful testwork, further technical and economic evaluation, definitive agreements, required approvals, and customary development conditions.   About Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. is a global trading and investment company with a diversified business portfolio and extensive experience in project development, commercialization, supply chain integration and industrial partnerships across natural resources, energy, infrastructure, mobility, chemicals and other sectors. About Microwave Chemical Co., Ltd. Microwave Chemical Co., Ltd. is a Japanese technology company focused on the development and commercialization of industrial microwave-based processes.

KUALA LUMPUR, JUNE 16 -- The ringgit opened higher against the US dollar on expectations that the United States Federal Reserve (US Fed) will maintain interest rates amid easing inflation concerns and falling US Treasury yields. At 8am, the local currency strengthened to 4.0455/0550 against the US dollar from 4.0485/0525 at yesterday's close. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd Chief Economist, Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said crude oil prices continued to decline following growing expectations that a peace deal between the US and Iran on June 19 could potentially lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He said West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude oil prices fell 4.87 percent and 4.24 percent to US$80.75 and US$83.63 per barrel, respectively, while the 10-year US Treasury yield fell below 4.50 percent, reflecting concerns over easing inflation. "Therefore, such developments could influence members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) as they consider the interest rate decision on June 16 and 17," he told Bernama. Mohd Afzanizam said the ringgit has the potential to continue its strengthening today after closing 0.18 percent higher on Monday, supported by optimism over the possibility of a US-Iran peace deal, although investors remain cautious ahead of the signing of the deal expected to take place on June 19. At the opening of trading, the ringgit also strengthened against a basket of major currencies. The local currency rose against the Japanese yen to 2.5245/5306 from 2.5283/5309 at Monday's close, strengthened against the British pound to 5.4270/4398 from 5.4355/4409 and rose against the euro to 4.6891/7002 from 4.6987/7033. Against regional currencies, the ringgit traded mostly higher except against the Philippine peso which was almost unchanged at 6.69/6.71 compared to the 6.69/6.70 level when it closed on Monday. The ringgit also strengthened against the Thai baht to 12.4228/4601 from 12.4294/4474 at yesterday's close, rose against the Indonesian rupiah to 228.4/229.1 from 228.5/228.9 and rose against the Singapore dollar to 3.1534/1611 from 3.1580/1613. -- BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR, JUNE 15 -- The ringgit continued its upward momentum by opening higher on Monday against the US dollar and other major currencies, supported by improved risk sentiment following signs of easing geopolitical tensions. At 8am, the local currency rose to 4.0430/0500 against the US dollar from 4.0555/0600 at the close last Friday. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd Chief Economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said news of the possibility of the Strait of Hormuz being reopened following the agreement between the United States and Iran on a peace deal scheduled to be signed on June 19 had boosted market sentiment. “WTI and Brent crude oil prices have fallen by more than four percent, with Brent crude now trading at US$83.83 per barrel. "In my view, the ringgit is heading towards RM4.00 against the US dollar. It may not be at that level immediately but being below RM4.00 is in line with the fair value of the ringgit based on the current macroeconomic conditions and the resilience of Malaysia's economic growth," he told Bernama. In the opening session, the local currency strengthened against a basket of major currencies. The ringgit rose against the Japanese yen to 2.5275/5320 from 2.5334/5364 at last Friday's close, rose against the pound to 5.4374/4468 from 5.4429/4489 and gained against the euro to 4.6911/6992 from 4.6979/7031 previously. The local currency also strengthened against regional currencies. The ringgit rose against the Singapore dollar to 3.1554/1611 from 3.1602/1640 last Friday and surged against the Thai baht to 12.4015/4298 from 12.4105/4288 previously. The local currency also rose against the Indonesian rupiah to 226.3/226.8 from 227.0/227.4 and increased against the Philippine peso to 6.65/6.66 from 6.67/6.68 previously. -- BERNAMA
