    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHICAGO, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VelocityEHS, a global leader in enterprise EHS and ESG solutions, has been recognized as a market-leading chemicals management software provider in the latest Smart Innovators: Chemicals Management Software report conducted by Verdantix, an independent research firm.

    In a comprehensive assessment of 13 leading vendors, VelocityEHS achieved the highest overall score across key functional areas critical to chemical safety and compliance.

    “At VelocityEHS, we are dedicated to empowering organizations with the most effective, intuitive, and scalable solutions for managing chemical safety and compliance,” said VelocityEHS CEO Matt Airhart. “This recognition validates our commitment to helping companies navigate the increasingly complex regulatory landscape to improve worker health safety.”

    The Verdantix report evaluated providers across six core capabilities, with VelocityEHS earning high marks in four of the categories—earning a Market-Leading designation. In the remaining two categories, VelocityEHS was recognized as a Comprehensive Solution, further solidifying its position as an industry leader.

    Market Leading Capabilities

    Chemical Approvals & Inventory Tracking
    Facilitates streamlined approval workflows, real-time inventory tracking, and regulatory screening of chemical ingredients, helping companies maintain compliance and prevent unauthorized chemical use.

    Chemical Spill & Incident Management
    With the industry’s best spill response tools, Velocity enables real-time reporting, automated workflows, and corrective action tracking to mitigate chemical-related risks and improve workplace safety.

    Chemicals Management Compliance Reporting
    Simplifies compliance with Tier II, TRI, and other reporting frameworks by offering automated regulatory tracking and comprehensive data management, ensuring firms meet evolving chemical regulations.

    Hazard Communication & HazMat Labeling
    Provides advanced labeling capabilities, including built-in templates and automatic hazard classification based on SDS data, ensuring organizations remain compliant with global labeling standards such as GHS, OSHA, and WHMIS.

    Comprehensive Capabilities  

    Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Management
    Provides a robust SDS management solution, offering a centralized repository for SDSs, automated indexing, and multi-language support, ensuring organizations can easily access and update chemical safety information.

    Chemical Substitution & Toxicology Analyses
    By providing tools to identify safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals, VelocityEHS helps firms comply with regulations like REACH and TSCA while minimizing environmental and health risks. This commitment to safety and sustainability drives continues innovation, ensuring their solutions not only meet regulatory requirements but also support organizations’ broader EHS goals.

    A key example of this innovation is the recent enhancements to the Chemical Management solution, making it one of the first to align with OSHA’s Hazcom standard updates with Revision 7 of the UN’s Globally Harmonized Systems of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). These updates ensure companies can adapt to evolving compliance requirements while maintaining workplace safety.

    The key changes include:

    • Revised classification criteria
    • Updated label provisions
    • Classification amendments
    • Additional updates to SDS information requirements
    • New provisions for concentration ranges claimed as trade secrets

    VelocityEHS proactively implemented these updates based on the final rule and insights from internal experts, ensuring that EHS professionals had the tools and capabilities exactly when they needed them most.

    “Another recent advancement, our new AI-powered SDS indexing tool, helps companies quickly access critical safety data, improving response times during incidents and potentially saving lives. It’s all about combining innovation with responsibility to create a safer, more efficient and human-centered future for EHS,” said Airhart.

    “Organizations need more than just compliance tools—they need intelligent, connected solutions that help them stay ahead of risks. That’s why we’ve integrated our Chemical Management solution onto the enhanced Accelerate Platform,” he added.

    Unifying Chemical Management with Safety, Industrial Ergonomics, and Operational Risk, Velocity empowers organizations to create reports and integrate data from multiple solutions, enabling them to proactively manage risks and drive safer, more sustainable operations.

    “As chemical regulations continue to expand, firms are turning to chemical management software to help guide them through the increasing complexities and keep pace with change. Chemicals management software vendors, such as VelocityEHS with its advanced technology, enable medium – to high-risk companies to streamline chemical management workflows and exceed compliance requirements,” says Zain Idris, Industry Analyst at Verdantix.

  • MIL-OSI: Penomo & Hoovest Financial Group Partner For Tokenized AI & Infrastructure Institutional Finance

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BERLIN, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    Penomo has formed a strategic partnership with Hoovest Financial Group, which collectively administers and manages over $1 billion in assets. This collaboration aims to accelerate institutional capital inflows into tokenized real-world infrastructure, facilitating the connection between asset-heavy renewable energy & physical AI operators and private capital allocators.

    The global shift towards sustainable energy & physical AI is driving significant capital into projects building & operating physical infrastructure, such as solar, Data Centers & machines, and financing remains the key bottleneck. Traditional financing models for critical physical infrastructure—primarily debt financing and structured equity are often slow, bureaucratic, and capital-intensive. Institutions keen to allocate capital into sustainability-focused assets are met with high entry barriers, limited liquidity, and inefficient capital deployment instruments.

    Penomo, an end-to-end financing protocol solves this by transforming heavy infrastructure-backed assets into institution-grade digital assets using tokenization. This lowers entry barriers, allows risk-weighted sustainability investments, and streamlines multi-channel financing for energy and AI infrastructure. While private equity and real estate have embraced tokenization, infrastructure financing is still emerging, with growing institutional adoption from firms like Ant Group and GCL Energy in Asia and Enel Group in Europe. Sustainability infrastructure-as-an-asset class presents as the next financial innovation frontier.

    Recognizing this opportunity, Penomo and Hoovest Financial Group unveil a strategic partnership to bridge institutional capital with tokenized renewable energy and AI infrastructure assets. As the demand for AI Data Centers and energy storage surges, next-generation data centers and high-performance computing hubs require massive capital inflows to scale efficiently. Hoovest, a financial group administering over $1B in assets and $150M worth AUM through its regulated subsidiaries, will leverage Penomo’s digital infrastructure to deploy capital into sustainable energy and AI infrastructure projects, making these tokenized real-world assets more accessible to institutional allocators and financial institutions. Through this collaboration, renewable energy projects and AI-powered infrastructure at both the development and operational stages will gain access to fast, flexible, and cost-efficient capital, reducing the financing gap for global energy transition and sustainable AI expansion initiatives.

    Peter Fang, CEO of Hoovest Financial Group, added: “Sustainable investment mandates continue to evolve, and investors are seeking high-quality, tangible assets with data-backed sustainability impact. Together with Penomo we address that need, providing our capital markets network with streamlined access to tokenized, real infrastructure-backed investments, ensuring both long-term value creation and sustainability.”

    “Energy & AI transition projects need a rescue from stagnated, high-cost TradFi technology,” says Jasvir Dhillon, Co-Founder and CEO of Penomo. “We are opening new avenues for institutional investors to gain streamlined exposure to sustainable infrastructure assets in a liquid, scalable, and fully transparent manner. Hoovest with its exceptional institutional roots makes a perfect partner to move beyond traditional ESG bonds and equity investments and lead the new financial innovation frontier and make sustainable energy- & physical AI infrastructure as a major asset class.”

    About Hoovest Financial Group
    Hoovest Financial Group operates an impact-focused investment business specializing in sustainable and alternative assets. Through its various regulated entities, Hoovest provides capital allocation and structuring solutions for institutional investors, asset managers, and family offices seeking exposure to high-growth, sustainability-driven investment opportunities. Through its joint-venture subsidiary, Unitize Fund Solutions Inc., Hoovest Financial Group administers over $1B in assets and has $150M worth AUM, delivering best-in-class fund structuring, administration, and distribution solutions.

    About Penomo
    Penomo is an end-to-end financing protocol bridging private capital markets with tokenized AI & renewable physical infrastructure to address the $4tn+ energy financing deficit by 2030. It transforms physical infrastructure into an institution-grade digital asset class, delivering a sourcing & allocation solution to sustainability-oriented institutions and asset managers globally. Backed by top institutions, nominated by Standard Chartered for the Earthshot Prize, and with blended expertise from JPMorgan & Chase, Deutsche Bank, and BlackRock’s Recurrent Energy in institutional finance, digital assets, and infrastructure, its mission is to sustainably power humanity on Earth and beyond.

  • MIL-OSI: Trust Stamp ® announces the achievement of the D-seal

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    COPENHAGEN, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trust Stamp (Nasdaq: IDAI), the Privacy-First Identity Company™, has been awarded the D-seal, a recognized label for IT security and responsible data usage. The D-seal is the first of its kind to combine IT security and responsible data usage into a single label. This milestone further solidifies Trust Stamp’s leadership in delivering ethical, privacy-preserving digital identity solutions, particularly in humanitarian aid, financial inclusion, and public sector services, assuring these organizations that Trust Stamp’s privacy-first solutions meet the highest ethical and security standards. By voluntarily undergoing the comprehensive evaluation of the D-seal, Trust Stamp has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to responsible digital practices.

    By adhering to the values of D-seal such as IT security, privacy, and responsible use of data, it can bring a shift to the humanitarian sector. The humanitarian sector has historically prioritized efficiency and fraud prevention over privacy, often collecting and storing vast amounts of biometric data without adequate safeguards. As a result, vulnerable populations face increased risks of data breaches, misuse, and unintended surveillance.
     
    By voluntarily undergoing the comprehensive evaluation of the D-seal, Trust Stamp reinforces its longstanding commitment to responsible digital practices, and continues to lead the way—enhancing fraud prevention and operational efficiency while ensuring the protection of individual rights.  Likewise, in financial inclusion, where billions remain unbanked due to a lack of verifiable identity, Trust Stamp’s privacy-preserving technology empowers individuals with secure, interoperable, and responsible identity solutions that open doors to financial services while minimizing risks of misuse or exploitation.

    Beyond humanitarian and financial sectors, Trust Stamp’s commitment to ethical, secure, and interoperable identity solutions also extends to governments seeking to modernize their digital infrastructure without falling into the trap of vendor lock-in, a significant challenge, especially for developing nations. The achievement of the D-seal aligns with Trust Stamp’s commitment to breaking vendor lock-in and ensuring secure, ethical, and interoperable digital identity solutions. By leveraging privacy-preserving technologies that are adaptable and vendor-agnostic, Trust Stamp empowers public sector entities, as well as the humanitarian and financial sectors —to enhance security, efficiency, and inclusivity without being constrained by proprietary systems removing the constraints of vendor lock-in. This approach not only fosters innovation, it ensures that governments can implement sustainable and future-proof identity solutions that serve their citizens without compromising autonomy or security.

    Scott Francis, Group Chief Technology Officer at Trust Stamp, stated:

    “Receiving the D-seal certification underscores our commitment to security, privacy, and ethical data practices—values that are deeply embedded in our mission to break the cycle of vendor lock-in. The D-seal’s emphasis on IT security and responsible data usage aligns with our approach to interoperability, ensuring that identity solutions remain secure, privacy-preserving, but also interoperable. As interoperability in facial biometrics is non-existent today our recent patent addresses that gap, as it allows users to obtain and compare biometric samples across different vendors. By creating an open-format standard, we empower organizations to implement secure and scalable identity solutions .”

    The D-seal achievement reaffirms a commitment to secure, privacy-first identity verification with interoperable, vendor-agnostic solutions that promote financial inclusion and tackle critical challenges in humanitarian and public sectors, fostering a digital identity ecosystem founded on privacy, trust, and accessibility.

  • MIL-OSI: Trade Smarter with BexBack: 100% Deposit Bonus, 100x Leverage, No KYC & $50 Bonus for New Users

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With Bitcoin’s price fluctuating below $100,000, many analysts predict a prolonged period of high volatility in the crypto market. Holding spot positions may struggle to generate short-term profits in such conditions. As a result, 100x leverage futures trading has become the preferred tool for seasoned investors looking to maximize potential gains in this volatile market. BexBack Exchange is ramping up its efforts to offer traders unmatched promotional packages.The platform now offers a 100% deposit bonus, a $50 welcome bonus for new users, and up to 100x leverage on cryptocurrency trading—all with No KYC requirements—providing excellent opportunities for investors.

    What Is 100x Leverage and How Does It Work?

    Simply put, 100x leverage allows you to open larger trading positions with less capital. For example:

    Suppose the Bitcoin price is $100,000 that day, and you open a long contract with 1 BTC. After using 100x leverage, the transaction amount is equivalent to 100 BTC.

    One day later, if the price rises to $105,000, your profit will be (105,000 – 100,000) * 100 BTC / 100,000 = 5 BTC, a yield of up to 500%.

    With BexBack’s deposit bonus

    BexBack offers a 100% deposit bonus. If the initial investment is 2 BTC, the profit will increase to 10 BTC, and the return on investment will double to 1000%.

    Note: Although leveraged trading can magnify profits, you also need to be wary of liquidation risks.

    How Does the 100% Deposit Bonus Work?
    The deposit bonus from BexBack cannot be directly withdrawn but can be used to open larger positions and increase potential profits. Additionally, during significant market fluctuations, the bonus can serve as extra margin, effectively reducing the risk of liquidation.

  • MIL-OSI: Wearable Devices Unlocks New Market Opportunities Following an Announcement of the Development of AI-Powered Gesture Personalization Technology

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    – Advancing AI-driven interactions for extended reality (“XR”) and wearable technology markets –

    Yokneam Illit, Israel, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wearable Devices”) (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW), an award-winning pioneer in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-based wearable gesture control technology, is proud to announce its next-generation gesture personalization technology that is expected to reshape human-device interactions. This breakthrough technology aims to open new commercial and licensing opportunities in the fast-growing XR, smartwatch, and AI-driven device markets.

    The Future of Personalized AI-Driven Gestures

    As AI continues to shape our digital landscape, the way we interact with technology is evolving. Traditional input methods – keyboards, touchscreens, and voice commands – are expected to give way to more natural, seamless interactions. Wearable Devices is developing an AI-powered neural wristband technology for detection of user specific micro-gestures, enabling a future of personalized controls tailored to individual users.

    While gestures such as Pinch, Pinch and Drag, and Drag are now in common use with multiple XR devices using gesture detection cameras, the use of a neural interface requires overcoming the various patterns a user may exhibit. Certain users may display neural patterns which are over the normal distribution patterns. Further, the development of new unique gestures which are personalized to a specific user may be hindered by the above obstacles.

    Through leveraging Large Motor Unit Action Potential (MUAP) Models, Wearable Devices is enhancing its ability to create a higher gesture classification experience to all users. Micro gestures, in-which the fingers only perform a minute movement, and user-defined gestures can be added to a control scheme on a device, thus enhancing the comfort of control and the ease of use on multiple devices.

    A New Era for AI-Powered Devices and XR Platforms

    Wearable Devices’ neural-based gesture personalization is being developed to revolutionize XR, smartwatches, and other AI-driven interfaces. The technology aims to enable:

    • Micro-Gesture Precision: AI refining recognition of tiny movements, such as small and fine finger swipes or pinches, ensuring reliable, real-time responsiveness.
    • Cross-Device Integration: Personalized gestures seamlessly operating across augmented reality (“AR”)/virtual reality headsets, AR glasses, smartwatches, and other AI-powered devices, creating a unified interaction experience.
    • Context-Aware Interactions: As the  large language  model gets tailored to the specific user behavior and gesture samples, the system becomes more adaptive to users’ habits of performing a gesture.

    Positioning for Growth in High-Value Markets

    Wearable Devices is targeting rapidly growing markets, including AR, virtual reality (“VR”), smartwatches, and AI-driven wearables, where personalized input solutions are increasingly in demand. By developing user-specific, AI-adaptive control interfaces, the Company aims to:

    • Enhance usability and accessibility for consumers and enterprise applications.
    • Drive adoption of neural-based interfaces in the expanding AI and XR sectors.
    • Establish licensing and commercialization opportunities for its proprietary technology.

    Collaboration and Market Expansion

    With over a decade of R&D and a growing patent portfolio, Wearable Devices is inviting AI and XR industry leaders to explore collaboration and integration opportunities.

    About Wearable Devices Ltd.

  • MIL-OSI: Docker Appoints Mark Cavage as President and Chief Operating Officer to Accelerate Next Phase of Growth

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALO ALTO, Calif., March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Docker, Inc.®, the company behind the leading development suite of products built specifically for cloud-native development, today announced the appointment of Mark Cavage as President and Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective immediately. Cavage, a proven technology executive with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, developer experience, and enterprise-scale solutions, will play a key role in expanding Docker’s impact across modern application development, security, and cloud-native workflows.

    “Mark is an exceptional leader who brings a unique combination of technical depth and business acumen,” said Don Johnson, CEO of Docker. “His experience in building and scaling developer platforms and communities, coupled with his passion for driving execution, makes him the perfect addition to our leadership team. We’re thrilled to welcome him aboard as we continue to redefine how modern applications are developed and delivered.”

    With over 25 years in business, product development, and engineering, Cavage has played pivotal roles in shaping modern cloud and developer technologies. His career spans leadership positions at AWS, Joyent, Oracle, Salesforce (Heroku), Stripe, and Nuna. His experience in developer platforms, cloud-scale operations, and security-driven software delivery aligns seamlessly with Docker’s mission.

    At Oracle, Cavage co-founded Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) alongside Don Johnson, building it from the ground up into a hyperscale cloud platform supporting mission-critical applications and AI workloads. He also led Oracle’s application development and container strategy, making Oracle the first enterprise ISV to containerize its flagship databases and applications, and creating a renaissance for Java. At Salesforce, he spearheaded engineering for Heroku, and at Stripe, he was instrumental in launching the Stripe App Marketplace and leading its Financial Services division. Most recently, as CTO of Nuna, he drove innovation in healthcare via technology focused on patient engagement and outcomes.

    “Developer experience has always been a passion of mine, and Docker is among the few companies that truly defines a paradigm shift in how modern software is built and delivered,” said Cavage. “Docker’s platform is deeply loved by developers and thus fundamentally positioned to solve some of the hardest challenges in software development today—whether it’s making AI model deployment seamless, securing the software supply chain, or optimizing development workflows. The opportunities for Docker are massive, and I couldn’t be more excited to help drive the next phase of growth.”

    Cavage emphasized that Docker’s unparalleled mindshare in the developer community presents an extraordinary opportunity to scale its impact. “Nearly every developer interacts with Docker in some form, and Docker has an unparalleled ecosystem for containers – no matter where I look, a Dockerfile and Docker run is the default answer. The next step is to take what developers already know and trust and make it even easier to build, secure, and deploy modern, AI and cloud native applications.”

    Cavage joins Docker at a pivotal moment as the company expands beyond containers, building a future where modern application development is faster, more secure, and more efficient. With deep experience in cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, and enterprise solutions, he will play a key role in shaping Docker’s next chapter. His leadership will help Docker further improve developer experience, solve increasingly complex challenges, and expand its role across the software development lifecycle bringing greater automation, security, and scalability to modern software teams. As Docker strengthens its cloud-native capabilities, enhances AI-driven development, and deepens its investment in security and production-ready solutions, Cavage’s expertise will help drive execution, ensuring developers can focus on what they do best: building great software.

    About Docker
    Docker drives modern software development by making it easy to adopt container technology to radically boost productivity, security, testing, and collaboration at every step of the developer experience. Embraced by over 20 million developers worldwide, Docker’s unmatched flexibility and choice make it the preferred tool for developers seeking efficiency and innovation for creating modern applications.

  • MIL-OSI: Varonis Announces Varonis for Agentforce to Enable Safe AI Rollouts

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MIAMI, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Varonis Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNS) today announced Varonis for Agentforce. The launch expands Varonis’ security offering by giving IT and security teams critical visibility into the agentic AI layer.

    Agentforce is the agentic layer of the Salesforce platform for deploying autonomous AI agents across any business function. Agentforce includes a set of tools to create and customize agents, as well as a library of pre-built skills for any use case across sales, service, marketing and commerce, MuleSoft, Tableau, Slack, partners and more.

    Organizations use Agentforce to build and deploy AI agents that connect to enterprise data and automate a wide range of business processes at scale. With Varonis for Agentforce, organizations can get a single pane of glass for all AI agents, including what they were built for and what actions they can perform. Teams can monitor connections to enterprise data sources to identify potential security risks.

    Varonis for Agentforce builds on Varonis’ Salesforce security solutions, which allow companies to understand their risk, automatically fix exposures, and stop attacks on their CRM. By securing critical data and resources, Varonis gives IT and security teams a clear, real-time view of agents and activities in one place.

    “Agentic AI will revolutionize routine work but introduces new security challenges that can expose sensitive data,” said Varonis EVP of Engineering and Chief Technology Officer David Bass. “Security starts with understanding the AI agents you have, knowing what data your AI robots can access, and monitoring changes over time for risk. With the launch of Varonis for Agentforce, we’re continuing to expand our holistic security approach for Salesforce — and across SaaS and IaaS — with one unified Data Security Platform.”

    Organizations can request a complimentary Varonis Data Risk Assessment to evaluate their Salesforce security posture.

    Varonis for Agentforce is available on Salesforce’s AppExchange.

  • MIL-OSI: Byrna Technologies Announces Preliminary Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Record Revenue of $26.2 Million

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ANDOVER, Mass., March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Byrna Technologies Inc. (“Byrna” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BYRN), a technology company, specializing in the development, manufacture, and sale of innovative less-lethal personal security solutions, today announced select preliminary financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended February 28, 2025.

    Preliminary First Quarter Results
    Based on preliminary unaudited results, the Company expects total revenue for the fiscal first quarter of 2025 to be $26.2 million, representing a 57% increase compared to $16.7 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2024. The significant year-over-year growth in first quarter revenue is primarily attributable to the continued success of Byrna’s marketing strategies and increased production levels at Byrna’s Fort Wayne, Indiana factory.

    As a result, Byrna’s e-commerce channels were up $6.7 million over last year, representing 74% of Byrna’s total sales for the quarter. To meet heightened demand and support its growth initiatives for 2025, Byrna produced a record 68,916 launchers in the first quarter, a 26% increase from the fourth quarter of 2024 and a 219% increase year-over-year. Dealer sales also experienced strong growth, rising $1.9 million year-over-year.

    Management Commentary
    “We are gratified to see the growth in Q1, as this is the first year-over-year quarterly comparison where we were comparing our performance against a prior year quarter where we had implemented our celebrity endorsement strategy,” said Byrna CEO Bryan Ganz. “Historically, Q1 has been our slowest quarter, yet sales decreased only 6% sequentially from what is our seasonally strongest quarter of the fiscal year. This success is a testament to the growing brand awareness that we have built since pivoting our marketing strategy in 2023.

    “To support our ambitious growth targets, we produced a record 68,916 launchers in the quarter. With new celebrity influencers including Megyn Kelly, Lara Trump, and Donald Trump Jr., an expanding retail store presence, the kickoff of our store-within-a-store partnership with Sportsman’s Warehouse, and the launch of the Compact Launcher, we are well-positioned to continue our strong growth trajectory throughout 2025.”

    Preliminary Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Sales Breakdown:      
    Sales Channel ($ in millions) Q1 2025 Q1 2024 % Change
    Web 19.4  12.7  53 %
    Byrna Dedicated Dealers 4.4  2.5  76 %
    Law Enforcement / Schools / Pvt Security 0.0  0.0  0 %
    Retail Stores 0.3  0.2  53 %
    International 2.0  1.3  56 %
    Total Sales 26.2  16.7  57 %


    Tariff Exposure Update
    Byrna remains well-positioned to navigate evolving trade policies with minimal impact on its cost structure. As previously stated, Byrna sources no critical components from Mexico or Canada, and its limited exposure to China is mitigated by a dual-sourcing strategy. The Company is on track to move most, if not all of the current supply chain to the United States in 2025, reinforcing its commitment to domestic manufacturing.

  • MIL-OSI: Asphalt Ridge Option Period to Acquire Remaining 17.75% Working Interest Extended to April 10, 2025 and non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire Novacor oil and gas assets extended to March 15, 2025.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Bakersfield, CA, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: “TPET”, “Trio” or the “Company”), a California-based oil and gas company, today provided updates on its Asphalt Ridge Project in Uintah County, Utah, and its intent to acquire a 100% working interest in certain petroleum and natural gas properties held by Novacor Exploration Ltd. which are located in the prolific Lloydminster, Saskatchewan heavy oil region.

    Asphalt Ridge Project

    TPET announced on January 5, 2024, that it had secured an option (the “Option”) to acquire a 20% interest in a sweet (i.e., low sulfur content), heavy-oil and tar-sand development project at Asphalt Ridge, located near the town of Vernal in Uintah County, northeastern Utah. We announced on June 11, 2024, the successful drilling and completion of the first two exploratory wells at the project, the HSO 2-4 and HSO 8-4 and that the wells encountered substantial oil-bearing pay zones in the Rimrock and Asphalt Ridge tar-sands (over 190’of oil-pay in HSO 2-4 and over 100’ of oil-pay in HSO 8-4).

    TPET currently owns a 2.25% working interest in 960 acres at Asphalt Ridge, and under the Option may acquire up to an additional 17.75% working interest in the same 960 acres and also a 20% interest in an adjacent 1,920 acres, and also has a right of first refusal to participate in an additional approximate 30,000 acres of the greater Asphalt Ridge Project on terms offered to other third parties. TPET has secured an Option extension and now has until April 10, 2025, to exercise its right to acquire the remaining 17.75% interest in the initial 960 acres. 

    The Asphalt Ridge Project is known to be one of the largest heavy-oil and tar-sand deposits in North America outside of Canada, making it a potential giant oilfield, and is unique given its low wax and negligible sulfur content, which is expected to make the oil very desirable for many industries, including shipping. A typical project well has an estimated ultimate recovery (“EUR”) of 300,000 barrels of oil with an initial production rate of approximately 40 barrels of oil per day.

    Novacor Exploration Ltd Oil and Gas Assets

    TPET announced on December 19, 2024, that it had entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) for the acquisition of a 100% working interest in certain petroleum and natural gas properties held by Novacor Exploration Ltd. (“Novacor”), which are located in the prolific Lloydminster, Saskatchewan heavy oil region (the “Acquisition”). “The Lloydminster area has seen noteworthy activity from top produces both large and small as the areas thermal and heavy oil projects are key operational focuses for public companies from Cenovus and Strathcona to Lycos Energy, along with a healthy pool of private companies. Unlike other more costly plays in Canada, Lloydminster “per well” costs are not prohibitive for many small producers as the wells are generally shallow, with an average true vertical depth of just under 1830 feet.” (BOE Report February 27, 2024). In the event that Trio consummates the Acquisition, it believes that it could strategically position itself to expand its operations into one of North America’s most promising heavy oil basins, with upside potential for long term production and reserve growth. Since the Novacor assets are in the heavy oil area, they offer economical development. Market accessibility combined with a favorable regulatory process makes this area very attractive for continued and future development within these lands.

    There are currently seven producing wells located on the two properties. The wells produce heavy crude oil from the McLaren/Sparky and Lloydminster formation(s). Novacor is the operator of these cash flow positive wells. Current production is approximately 70 barrels per day with potential for 4 additional re-entry wells and two fully equipped locations to be reactivated each capable of an additional 70 barrels in total per day. Trio and Novacor mutually agreed to extend the execution of definitive acquisition documents to March 15, 2025. Trio plans to negotiate an additional extension if documents are not completed and executed by that date.

In Monterey County, Trio owns a 85.75% working interest in 9,245 acres at the Presidents and Humpback oilfields in the South Salinas Project, and a 21.92% working interest in 800 acres in the McCool Ranch Field. In Uintah County, Trio owns a 2.25% working interest in 960 acres and options to acquire up to an additional 17.75% working interest in the 960 acres, and also a 20% working interest in an adjacent 1,920 acres, and a right of first refusal to participate in up to a 20% working interest in an additional approximate 30,000 acres of the Asphalt Ridge Project with other third parties.
