Mongolian Mining Corporation Profit Alert

 

HONG KONG, Aug 7 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This announcement is made by Mongolian Mining Corporation (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) pursuant to Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”) and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders and potential investors of the Company that after a preliminary review of the Group’s unaudited consolidated management accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and information currently available, the Group is expected to record a consolidated net profit of between approximately USD100.0 million and USD110.0 million for the first half of 2026 as compared to a consolidated net loss of USD19.9 million reported for the six months ended 30 June 2025.

Bitget Launches Private Copy Trading for CFD


VICTORIA, Seychelles, Aug 4 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has introduced Private Copy Trading for its CFD platform, giving professional traders the tools to build invitation-only trading communities while maintaining greater control over strategy distribution. The feature reflects the growing evolution of copy trading from a public discovery tool into a community-driven business model.

As copy trading has evolved, many successful traders have expanded beyond the platform itself, building dedicated communities across Telegram, Discord, X, and other social channels. These communities often become the primary way traders share market insights and cultivate long-term relationships. Rather than making every strategy publicly available, many now reserve their highest-conviction trades as exclusive benefits for members of those communities.

The feature introduces flexibility to community management, allowing traders to generate multiple invitation links for different communities or marketing channels, monitor conversion performance across each source, manage follower capacity independently, and remove followers when necessary. Public and private copy trading projects can also operate in parallel, enabling traders to grow a public audience while maintaining exclusive communities for selected users.

"As leaders of crypto copy trading, we’ve been one of the few players to evolve this segment" said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "Traders trust data and transparent copy-trading helps in collective growth, another tier added to this is private copy trading, providing professional traders with more flexibility in sharing strategies."

The invitation-only model also helps protect proprietary trading strategies by limiting visibility to approved participants rather than opening trading activity publicly. For traders focused on client acquisition, optional registration requirements tied to invitation links provide a more targeted way to onboard new users while measuring the effectiveness of different promotional channels.

Bitget pioneered copy trading as one of the first major exchanges to make professional trading strategies accessible to a broader audience. The launch reflects a broader evolution in the creator economy surrounding trading. As professional traders increasingly build independent brands and communities, copy trading platforms are evolving from simple discovery tools into infrastructure that supports audience management, client acquisition, and long-term community growth. Private Copy Trading extends Bitget's copy trading ecosystem to meet those changing needs.

Bitget Integrates TradingView Charts for Commodities (CFD) Market


VICTORIA, Seychelles, Aug 4 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has upgraded its CFD platform with a native TradingView integration, bringing professional-grade market analysis and order execution into a single interface. The enhancement reflects a broader evolution in trading platform design, where reducing friction has become as important as expanding market access.

As traders increasingly participate across assets, the trading experience has become fragmented between analysis and execution. Active traders rely on external charting platforms to monitor markets before returning to their exchange to place trades, creating unnecessary delays during fast-moving market conditions. Bitget's latest upgrade removes that disconnect by embedding TradingView directly into the CFD trading experience.

TradingView now serves as the default charting interface for Bitget CFD, allowing users to analyze markets and execute trades from the same screen. The integration includes customizable chart layouts, split-screen market monitoring, an extensive library of technical indicators, and advanced drawing tools, enabling traders to monitor multiple markets while executing positions without leaving the platform.

“With this integration we’ve removed the friction of switching between live charts in CFD trading; providing efficiency for traders to capitalize on market opportunities.” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

The upgrade builds on Bitget's broader Universal Exchange vision of creating a unified trading environment across asset classes. While much of the industry's focus has been on expanding access to new markets, Bitget is equally focused on simplifying how users interact with those markets by reducing the operational complexity between research, analysis, and execution.

Bitget CFD enables users to trade global financial markets, including commodities, foreign exchange, and indices, through a single USDT-settled account. The addition of TradingView further strengthens the platform's analytical capabilities while supporting a more streamlined workflow for active traders seeking institutional-grade tools within a unified trading experience.

Meet Alpine Edelweiss: Nature's Survivor That Inspired a New Generation of Sensitive Skincare

Table


Meet Your Daily Sensitive Skin Essentials

How one extraordinary flower from the Swiss Alps became the heart of SensaV's philosophy for healthier, more resilient skin
 
KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) --
High above the Swiss Alps, where freezing temperatures, fierce winds and intense ultraviolet rays make survival almost impossible, one small white flower has quietly flourished for centuries.
 
Known as Alpine Edelweiss, this remarkable mountain flower has become a symbol of resilience - not because of its delicate appearance, but because of its ability to thrive in one of the world's harshest environments. While most plants struggle to survive at altitudes above 1,700 metres, Edelweiss has evolved to withstand relentless environmental stress through its own natural defence system.
 
Today, its remarkable resilience has become the inspiration behind a new approach to sensitive skincare.
 
Nature's Master of Survival

Scientists have long been fascinated by Alpine Edelweiss and its ability to withstand freezing temperatures, harsh winds and constant UV exposure. To survive these extreme conditions, the flower naturally produces powerful protective compounds, including Leontopodic Acid, that help defend it against environmental damage.
 
"When we first discovered the remarkable story of Alpine Edelweiss, we saw more than just another botanical ingredient," says Wong Kean Ewe, General Manager at Leung Kai Fook Medical Sdn Bhd. "We saw a flower that had mastered the art of protecting itself against constant environmental stress. That philosophy became the inspiration behind SensaV and the way we approach sensitive skincare."
 
From Nature's Resilience to Skin Resilience

Modern life constantly exposes our skin to pollution, UV rays, changing temperatures and daily stress. Over time, these environmental aggressors can weaken the skin barrier, making it more prone to dryness, redness and irritation.  
 
Much like Alpine Edelweiss protects itself against the harsh Alpine climate, its naturally occurring compounds have been recognised for their ability to help soothe irritation, provide antioxidant protection and support a healthy skin barrier, helping skin become stronger and better equipped to face everyday environmental challenges.
 
The Inspiration Behind SensaV

It was this philosophy that inspired the creation of SensaV.
 
Recognising that sensitive and dry skin are increasingly influenced by modern environmental stressors, SensaV was developed around a simple belief: healthy skin begins with a healthy skin barrier.
 
Instead of relying on harsh formulations or temporary solutions, the brand looked to nature for inspiration, placing Alpine Edelweiss at the very heart of its skincare philosophy. More than simply an ingredient, it represents everything SensaV stands for: gentle care, resilience and long-term skin health.
 
Today, Alpine Edelweiss remains the hero ingredient in every SensaV formulation, helping soothe irritation, support the skin barrier and protect skin against everyday environmental stressors.
 
More Than an Ingredient

For SensaV, Alpine Edelweiss is far more than a botanical ingredient - it is the inspiration behind every formulation and the symbol of the brand's commitment to helping sensitive skin become healthier, stronger and more resilient.
 
Because sometimes, nature's greatest lessons come from the smallest survivors.

CSL Marks the Completion of the First Vessel in World-Leading Transhipment Fleet for Simandou Project

MONTREAL, July 29 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The CSL Group (“CSL”), a global leader in responsible marine transportation services, announces the delivery of MV Wontanara, the first of five state-of-the-art transhipment shuttle vessels (TSVs) commissioned to service the Simandou iron ore project in Guinea, one of the world's largest mining and infrastructure developments. 

Designed by CSL and built at CSSC Chengxi Shipyard, this groundbreaking fleet of TSVs combines a 41,800-tonne deadweight capacity with a dual-boom self-unloading system that can transfer up to 12,000 tonnes of iron ore per hour, making it the fastest and most efficient TSV fleet in the world. 

Purpose-built to move large volumes of iron ore efficiently between river terminals and offshore bulk carriers, the TSV design features a shallow-draft hull optimized for river navigation, five azimuth thrusters that deliver exceptional manoeuvrability and precision, and bi-directional navigation capability that enhances both safety and operational efficiency.

"The advanced design and cargo-handling capabilities of this fleet reflect CSL’s expertise in transforming complex logistics challenges into practical, high-performance maritime solutions," said Louis Martel, CSL President and CEO. "Working closely with our customer, we designed an integrated transhipment system that enables safe, efficient and continuous high-volume exports in shallow-water environments."

CSL led the development of this transhipment solution from concept design through to engineering, construction and delivery. Leveraging its strong track record in self-unloading vessel design and transhipment operations, CSL established the fleet's technical requirements, led the engineering and design phases, and provided oversight throughout construction.

MV Wontanara is the first of five TSVs that will enter service in support of the Simandou project, with the balance of the fleet scheduled for delivery over the coming months.

The CSL Group is a world class provider of complex marine solutions and the largest owner and operator of self-unloading ships in the world. Headquartered in Montreal with operations throughout the Americas, Australia, Europe and Africa, CSL delivers millions of tonnes of cargo annually for customers in the construction, steel, energy and agri-food sectors.
