Gerald Group Warns Against Unauthorised Soremi SA Tenders of Copper Cathode and Zinc Ingot

LONDON, June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Soremi Mine, located in the Boko Yanga metal corridor in the Republic of the Congo ("RoC"), is operated by Société de Recherche et d'Exploitation Minière ("Soremi SA"), a local ROC entity producing copper cathodes and zinc ingots. 

Soremi SA is owned and controlled by Soremi Investments Ltd. ("SIL"), a BVI-registered company. Gerald Group has been awarded 100% of SIL and SIL is currently controlled by a court-appointed Receiver following multiple legal rulings in Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands (BVI) including:

• Two binding BVI Court Orders dated 25 April 2023 and 20 December 2023, and two binding HK Court Orders dated 24 February 2025 and 21 March 2025, recognising Gerald Group's entitlement to ownership and control of SIL's 65% stake previously held by China National Gold Group Hong Kong Ltd ("CNG"); and
  
  
• A Hong Kong Interim Measures Order dated 9 April 2025 ("HK Order") prohibiting CNG and its appointees from procuring Soremi SA to enter into any sales of zinc ingots or otherwise dispose of any of Soremi SA's assets.

CNG no longer has any ownership or interest in SIL, Soremi SA or the Soremi Mine. The valid board changes made by Gerald Group and the Receivers in the RoC continue to be ignored by CNG. CNG continues to operate Soremi SA as if it owns and controls SIL in complete disregard to the binding Court orders. The current Soremi SA board and management are CNG appointed representatives, and they have ignored the board changes, binding court orders, and all attempts for Gerald Goup to control of SIL, which has allowed CNG to illegally remain in control and dissipate assets.

Importantly, CNG is a 100% owned subsidiary of China National Gold Group Corporation ("CNGG") which is a Chinese state-owned enterprise. CNGG is a centrally administered state-owned enterprise (SOE) under the direct supervision of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council ("SASAC") and the only central state-owned enterprise in China's gold industry. CNGG is directing and/or allowing its representatives in CNG and Soremi SA, to willingly and intentionally breach, delay and obstruct international court orders including of the Hong-Kong and BVI Courts and has expended tens of millions of dollars in legal costs over a span of 4 years. These actions have devastated the financial position of Soremi SA and are unprecedented for an SOE to do everything possible to NOT comply with competent awards, rulings, and orders from 3 jurisdictions.

Gerald Group is aware that two unauthorised tenders ("Tenders") issued by Soremi SA on 6 June 2025, inviting buyers to purchase approximately 10,000 metric tons of copper cathode and approximately 40,000 metric tons of zinc ingots. These tenders are unauthorised and illegal. Gerald Group holds an exclusive first right of refusal of offtake in respect of 100% of Soremi SA's production of which Gerald Group has confirmed it elects to take 100%.   

Gerald Group warns any and all potential buyers that any sale concluded pursuant to the Tenders will be illegal, unauthorized and will breach several Court Orders and awards. Any purchases pursuant to the Tenders will be pursued to the fullest extent of national and international laws and exposes buyers to damages and other penalties.   

Gerald Group reserves all rights to pursue all remedies available to them against Soremi SA and anyone colluding with CNG/Soremi including those participating in the Tenders.

Gerald Group is in process of enforcing all court rulings to restore proper and lawful governance at Soremi SA and to protect the assets and undertakings of Soremi SA. 

Bridgestone Develops Bespoke Potenza Race Tyres for Volkswagen Golf GTI’s Record-Breaking 50th Anniversary Model

 

June 26^th, 2025 — Bridgestone, a global leader in premium tyres and sustainable mobility solutions, has developed custom Potenza Race semi-slicks for Volkswagen’s new Golf GTI EDITION 50, the Golf GTI’s exclusive 50th anniversary model. Engineered to perfectly match and enhance the high performance capabilities of the fastest and most powerful production GTI to date, Bridgestone’s custom racing fitment leverages the motorsports heritage of its iconic Potenza family.

 

Developed and produced in Europe, the premium Bridgestone Potenza Race fitment features a high-grip compound with an optimised cavity profile for maximum dry performance, a tread pattern designed to perform even in the wet, and a high-strength, lightweight carcass to reduce rolling resistance.

 

Providing the precision and control to make history

 

Volkswagen unveiled the Golf GTI EDITION 50 at the world-famous 24-hour race held at Germany’s iconic Nürburgring – where the exclusive model already set the fastest-ever Nürburgring lap time for a Volkswagen production model.¹

 

Earlier in 2025, the Golf GTI EDITION 50I completed a lap of the 20.82-kilometre Nordschleife in just 07:46:13.¹ The record-breaking car was exclusively equipped with custom Bridgestone Potenza Race fitment, delivering consistent ultra-high grip across the full lap, and the precision and control needed to make history on the demanding Nürburgring circuit.

 

“Our bespoke Potenza Race tyres were engineered to extract every ounce of performance from the Golf GTI EDITION 50,” said Radoslaw Bolkowski, Vice President OE Sales at Bridgestone EMEA. “Seeing them help deliver a record-breaking Nürburgring lap is a brilliant moment for our team and a testament to what’s possible when two performance-driven brands collaborate closely. We're very proud to help Volkswagen make history once again.”

 

Bridgestone is the exclusive tyre supplier for the optional GTI-performance package for the Golf GTI EDITION 50. The vehicle’s bespoke 19-inch Bridgestone Potenza Race (235/35 R19 91Y) feature a special Volkswagen sidewall marking – highlighting the tyre’s exclusive development for this model.

تايوان إكسيلنس تطلق حملة "جو هيلثي مع تايوان" الرائدة في دول الخليج

 

دبي، 26 يونيو 2025: في خطوة رائدة لتعزيز حضور تايوان على الساحة الصحية العالمية، أطلقت الإدارة الدولية للتجارة (TITA) التابعة لوزارة الشؤون الاقتصادية التايوانية (MOEA) دعوة عالمية لتقديم المقترحات، بقيادة مجلس تنمية التجارة الخارجية لتايوان (TAITRA)، تحت شعار "جو هيلثي مع تايوان". تهدف الحملة إلى إبراز تايوان كمركز للابتكار الصحي وتعزيز التعاون الدولي مع تنفيذ فعّال على المستوى المحلي.

تدعو هذه المبادرة الحكومات والمؤسسات والشركات والمنظمات في دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي إلى تقديم مقترحات مبتكرة تدمج منتجات تايوان الصحية عالية الجودة وحلولها الشاملة، بهدف الارتقاء بمعايير الصحة العالمية وتعزيز رفاهية المدن والمجتمعات وأنظمة الأعمال على مستوى العالم.

تركز حملة "جو هيلثي مع تايوان" على خمسة قطاعات رئيسية في صناعة الصحة التايوانية، تشمل: التقنيات الذكية للرعاية الصحية، الجمال الطبي والفحوصات الصحية، معدات اللياقة البدنية، تقنيات الرياضة، وصناعة الدراجات الهوائية. وتشتهر تايوان بلقب "مملكة الدراجات"، حيث تمتلك صناعة دراجات متكاملة مدعومة بأبحاث وتطوير رائدة، كما تُعد مركزًا عالميًا لتصنيع الدراجات الراقية وتسهم في جهود تحقيق الحياد الكربوني من خلال سلاسل إمداد مستدامة على المستوى الدولي.

وبناءً على النجاح الكبير لحملة "اذهب أخضر مع تايوان" العام الماضي، التي شهدت تقديم 396 مقترحًا من 45 دولة، تسعى الحملة الجديدة إلى توسيع التأثير العالمي وتطبيقات صناعة الصحة التايوانية العملية، مستهدفة تجاوز 500 مقترح من خمس قارات. وستُمنح الجوائز الثلاثة الأولى مبلغ 30,000 دولار لكل فائز، إلى جانب إتاحة الفرصة لجميع المشاركات المتميزة للتعاون والتسويق مع أبرز الشركات التايوانية.

وتعتبر الشركات التايوانية من أبرز موردي معدات اللياقة البدنية عالميًا، حيث تدمج تقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي ضمن منظومة تصنيع وبحث وتطوير متقدمة. وفي مجال الرعاية الصحية الذكية، تستفيد تايوان من خبرتها العالمية في تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات وأشباه الموصلات، إلى جانب نظامها الطبي المتطور، لتقديم حلول متكاملة للسوق العالمي لتقنيات الصحة.

وافتتح باب استقبال المقترحات في 15 مايو ويستمر حتى 14 أغسطس، ما يتيح فرصة متميزة للمبتكرين لعرض أفكارهم المبدعة.

خلال حفل الإطلاق الرسمي في يونيو، أكدت سوزان هو، نائبة المدير العام للإدارة الدولية للتجارة، التزام الرئيس تاي تشينغ-تي برؤية "تايوان صحية"، معتبرة أن هذه الحملة تشكل خطوة محورية لتحويل هذه الرؤية إلى واقع من خلال إشراك المبتكرين العالميين للتعاون في بناء مستقبل صحي ومستدام.

من جانبه، شدد جو تشو، نائب الرئيس التنفيذي لمجلس تنمية التجارة الخارجية لتايوان، على أن هذه الدعوة الدولية لا تبرز فقط قوة وابتكار صناعة الصحة الشاملة في تايوان، بل تشجع أيضًا على التعاون مع الشركاء العالميين لتطوير أنماط حياة صحية ذكية ومستدامة باستخدام أحدث التقنيات والحلول التايوانية.

وشهد الحفل الكشف عن شعار الحملة الترويجي الحيوي "فضل الابتكارات التايوانية... نجاح يتخطى الحدود!"، حيث تحوّل مكان الحدث إلى ملعب بيسبول رمزي يعكس الحيوية والنشاط الدولي لتايوان. كما شهد الحفل ظهورًا مفاجئًا للنجم التايواني في البيسبول آن-كو لين، بطل بطولة WBSC Premier12، إلى جانب "فيو بير"، التميمة الرسمية لـ "تايوان إكسيلنس"، حيث مثلت ضرباتهما الرمزية إصرار تايوان على تقديم أفضل حلولها الصحية للعالم وربطها بالمبتكرين الدوليين.

حضر المؤتمر الصحفي عدد من الضيوف المرموقين، منهم روبرت وو، رئيس جمعية الدراجات التايوانية؛ وجيف تشن، رئيس جمعية مصنعي الأدوات الرياضية في تايوان؛ وسبارك هوانغ، مدير جمعية صناعة الطب والتكنولوجيا الحيوية، بالإضافة إلى ممثلين عن قطاعات صناعية رئيسية أخرى. كما شارك الإعلاميون من 12 وسيلة إعلام دولية تمثل أوروبا وأمريكا وجنوب شرق آسيا والشرق الأوسط، إلى جانب أعضاء السلك الدبلوماسي الأجنبي في تايوان.

Guided by the mottos of openness, connection, and collaboration, the Program has received strong support from 28 members across the globe. Over the past decade, the hi-H Program has achieved three major milestones, driving global digital transformation:
