The very first Macau showing of Picasso’s artworks in gemmaux

MACAU – Media OutReach – 7 September 2023 – As part of “Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2023”, organised by the Macao SAR Government, One Central Macau proudly presents for the first time in Macau, “Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass” sponsored by Hongkong Land. Aligning with the objective of Art Macao, this show will contribute to arts and culture in Macau, establishing it further as a World Heritage city. The six artworks in this show are among fifty works, unique and signed, selected by Picasso himself between 1954 and 1957, among his most exemplary works to be interpreted in gemmail (French for ‘enamel gem’).

One Central Macau’s Picasso Gemmaux artwork to premiere in Macau

This exhibition is the very first Macau showing of Picasso’s artworks in gemmaux to be presented at the Atrium of One Central Macau with free admission from today until 31^st October. This showcase offers a rare opportunity to appreciate many of Picasso’s most important artworks. As part of Art Macao’s theme, “The Statistics of Fortune”, this show features works that are reminiscent of the technique of stained glass seen in churches in aesthetics, yet they are back lit light boxes engineered by a workshop led by physicist Roger Malherbe-Navarre working on light diffraction in Paris in the mid 1950’s. At the time, the technique was extremely innovative. The layering of several panes of carefully assembled glass gave Picasso’s artworks the third dimensionality he sought to achieve in paintings. The technology of these backlit light boxes also gives a new life to the colours, as well as preserving them closer to the intention of the artist. Impressed by the gemmistes’ masterful assembling and fusing of carefully selected glass, Picasso declared ‘A new art is born!’

Intimate retrospective into life of renowned artistic genius

This exhibition features a special curation of six gemmaux artworks, representing many of Picasso’s closest and most influential ‘studies’ of life. Among them are ‘Femme assise’, an early portrait of Dora Maar, fellow artist and lover who led him to create the masterpiece Guernica, and the very first gemmail work Picasso signed. Another iconic work is the ‘Portrait of Marie-Therese Walter’, in which Picasso depicts the French model Marie-Therese Walter, who gave birth to his first daughter, and Mere et Enfant, in which Picasso’s wife Olga and his first son, Dora Maar, are depicted. The exclusive series also includes a striking self-portrait of the artist himself, executed in an emotionally expressive style. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Picasso’s death and the artworks on display are borrowed from private collections.

“We hold a deep appreciation for the role of arts in society and have dedicated ourselves to honouring cultural heritage. We envision ONE CENTRAL MACAU to serve as a canvas that connects art with the community. This Picasso exhibition is the latest initiative which aims to educate, engage and inspire the community in Macau, inviting people to revel in the beauty of diverse cultural expressions.” said Jennifer Lam, Director & Head of Marketing & Communications at Hongkong Land.

Sherry Wong, Chairperson of the Hongkong Land Art Committee, states, “Art Macao is the most important cultural and artistic event of Macau organised by the government and, we are enthusiastic in our participation. Hongkong Land is continually exploring opportunities to both advance and enhance artistic vibrancy by fully reflecting the trends and cultural life of the Macau community. We are especially pleased to present the exhibition “Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass”, offering an opportunity to both discover and fully appreciate the creativity and personality of one of our greatest and most popular artists.”

The unique display of original artworks is featured at the atrium of One Central Macau, with enlarged reproductions of each work displayed on the back of the painting, making it easy for the public to view the series of masterpieces from other locations in the atrium. Be inspired by “Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass” at One Central Macau.

Saguenay, Quebec – Newsfile Corp. – September 6, 2023 – First Phosphate Corp. (“First Phosphate” or the “Company”) (CSE PHOS) (OTC: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) is pleased to announce that the Central Prayon Process has successfully transformed its apatite concentrate to a high quality Merchant Grade Phosphoric Acid (“MGA”).

As previously announced on June 19, 2023, a 900 kilogram sample of apatite concentrate was produced at the First Phosphate pilot plant facilities at SGS Québec and was sent to the facilities of Prayon Technologies SA (“Prayon”) in Belgium for testing its suitability for the production of battery-grade purified phosphoric acid (“PPA”).

Prayon has begun assessing product quality and process feasibility through pilot testing of the First Phosphate rock concentrate to determine the optimal process parameters for MGA production.

The first initial report on the pilot testing for the production of MGA has been completed. The final report with any additional comments on the MGA production testing as well as details on the PPA production testing through membrane purification (next step) is expected to be available as planned during Q4 2023.

The main results of the MGA tests are summarized below:

• The phosphate rock concentrate can be considered a high-grade igneous rock with about 40.6% P2O5 content. The general impurity content is low, especially chlorine (~630 ppm) compared to other rock concentrates mined from the same region.

• Further grinding of the phosphate rock is not required.

• The operation of the pilot plant using this phosphate rock was stable and quite easily operable in the CPP process route.

• Efficiency (P2O5 recovery of the attack filtration global process) at the pilot unit is high and above 99%. The total phosphate content found in the gypsum produced is low at less than 0.2% on average. Overall plant sizing, including the two filters, will be relatively compact due to the good results obtained.

• MGA quality (54% P2O5) can be easily attained from the weak acid produced.

• The sulfuric specific consumption per ton P2O5 is 2.4 tons as well as 100% H2SO4 and 3.5 tons of process water. The quantity of calcium sulfate generated by the process is 3.5 tons hemihydrate per ton of P2O5 produced.

• The impact of the CPP process route on the environment is low compared to other phosphoric acid processes as it requires less water for the production of a minimum 34% P2O5 weak phosphoric acid. Clean, low impurity, low moisture calcium sulphate is also generated by the process. The calcium sulphate is of a quality that can be used as plaster in housing and building construction or in concrete mixes for construction.

Results with respect to the composition of the phosphate rock concentrate:

• Based on its phosphate content, the phosphate rock can be considered as a high-grade rock with about 40.6% P2O5 content and very few impurities.

• The CaO/P2O5 ratio gives an idea of sulfuric acid consumption and the quality of gypsum generated by the process. Generally, the higher the CaO/P2O5 ratio, the higher the consumption of sulfuric acid required as all the calcium will react with sulfate to produce calcium sulphate. In this case, this ratio of 1.35 is low compared to sedimentary rocks at CaO/P2O5 ratio of approximately 1.60. Consequently, the quantity of gypsum generated by the process will be reduced, and what will be produced can be sold into the construction industry due to its high purity.

• Based on the results of the phosphate blend analysis, the rock reactivity should be low and little amount of foam can be expected during the rock acidulation process.

• The MER (Minor Element) ratio compares the amount of iron, aluminium, and magnesium oxides to P2O5 content. These unwanted elements usually end up in the acid. The 0.042 MER ratio of this rock can be considered as low content for a phosphate rock. Fewer unwanted byproducts will be produced during the phosphoric acid purification process and phosphate-based salts of higher quality can be produced from this MGA.

• The chlorine content in this phosphate rock is acceptable around 100-700 ppm, which limits the investment cost for special material (low potential corrosion is expected).

The Company will provide details on the full final report including details on the full MGA and PPA testing as soon as available from Prayon and as scheduled for Q4 2023.

“Renovate, Recover, Recycle“

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 6 September 2023 – Henderson Sunlight Asset Management Limited (the “Manager“) announces the final results of Sunlight REIT for the year ended 30 June 2023 (the “Year“).

While the Hong Kong economy staged a rebound in the second half of the Year, the performance of Sunlight REIT was somewhat marred by a cyclical downswing of the commercial property market, notably the office sector. Consequently, net property income (“NPI”) exhibited a mild 2.8% year-on-year decrease to HK$624.0 million. Given a steep increase in interest rates which resulted in a significant surge in interest expense, annual distributable income for the Year was down 11.8% year on year to HK$380.3 million.

The Board has resolved to declare a final distribution of HK 11.0 cents per unit. Coupled with an interim distribution of HK 11.0 cents per unit, total distribution per unit for the Year would amount to HK 22.0 cents, representing a payout ratio of 97.9% versus 97.4% in the preceding year, while the distribution yield was 7.6% based on the closing price of HK$2.88 on the last trading day of the Year.

With a maiden contribution from the acquisition of West 9 Zone Kids completed in April 2023, the appraised value of Sunlight REIT’s property portfolio increased to HK$18,512.2 million at 30 June 2023. Its net asset value was HK$13,669.2 million at 30 June 2023, or HK$8.06 per unit.

Operating Highlights

At 30 June 2023, the overall portfolio of Sunlight REIT registered an occupancy rate of 93.3% (30 June 2022: 94.7%), with an average rental reversion of negative 2.3%. The average passing rents of the office and retail portfolios were HK$34.6 per sq. ft. and HK$65.6 per sq. ft. respectively, down 1.4% and 3.0% as compared to a year ago.

Against the unfavourable office market dynamics, NPI of Dah Sing Financial Centre for the Year was down 4.5% to HK$170.5 million, while its occupancy rate exhibited a mild rebound from six months ago to 90.4% at 30 June 2023.

In respect of the retail portfolio, NPI of Sheung Shui Centre Shopping Arcade recorded a 3.0% year-on-year decline to HK$135.4 million. Its occupancy rate achieved a nice rebound to 97.6% at 30 June 2023, principally driven by a spate of quality tenants re-establishing their presence in this well-located retail property. Meanwhile, NPI of Metro City Phase I Property registered a 7.9% year-on-year decline to HK$124.7 million, while its occupancy rate recorded a drop to 92.2% at 30 June 2023.

During the Year, the Manager has further sharpened its focus on sustainability and continued to manage the portfolio with a more holistic and greener approach. In particular, Sunlight REIT attained a two-star rating in its first attempt at the 2022 GRESB Real Estate Assessment, while about 70% of its total borrowings at 30 June 2023 were sustainability-linked loans.

Mr. Au Siu Kee, Alexander, Chairman of the Manager said, “In view of the fluidity of the macro environment, prudence remains the strategic priority. Specifically, our effort to ensure a strong financial footing for Sunlight REIT should help it sail through the prevailing tight credit conditions. Better still, we have been able to marshal resources to expand and strengthen the retail portfolio of Sunlight REIT, rendering it greater potential to benefit from a consumption recovery.”

Remarks: Attached financial highlights of FY2022/23 final results of Sunlight REIT.

Financial Highlights of FY2022/23 Final Results:

(in HK$’ million, unless otherwise specified)

Note: Included a decrease in fair value of investment properties of HK$354.4 million (versus a decrease in fair value of HK$263.9 million for the year ended 30 June 2022).
