Xiamen is the venue for the ninth meeting of the leaders of the BRICS countries. In December last year, the innovation center of the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution was officially launched here. This year is the first year for the construction of the BRICS Innovation Center.

In the keynote speech at the opening ceremony, Guo Yezhou, Chairman of the China Council for BRICS Think Tank Cooperation and Vice Minister of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, shared some ideas and thoughts on the construction of the BRICS Innovation Center by the China Council. He addressed that to build the BRICS Innovation Center, we must adhere to true multilateralism, uphold the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, strengthen unity, collaboration and strategic docking, and create a win-win and shared cooperation platform. We must persist in open innovation, tap the potential of the BRICS countries in the new generation of information technology, deepen industrial cooperation, integrate innovative resources, and create a pioneering zone for innovation cooperation. It is necessary to adhere to the “three-wheel drive”, focus on the three major areas of policy coordination, talent training, and project development, and create a key link for pragmatic cooperation. It is also important to adhere to sustainable development and realize the “carbon peak and carbon neutral” roadmaps respectively through cooperation and create a new benchmark for green development.

On behalf of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Zhao Long, member of the Standing Committee of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee, expressed warm congratulations on the convening of the seminar and extended a warm welcome to the guests attending the meeting in Xiamen. He mentioned that Xiamen hopes to work with the BRICS think tanks to uphold the BRICS partnership spirit of “openness, tolerance, cooperation, and win-win”, be a good “staff” to study and put forward constructive and operable policy recommendations; be a good “promoter” to tell the story of BRICS cooperation, and spread the voice of BRICS development; be a good “liaison” to sow the seeds of friendship, build bridges of cooperation, and promote the continuous deepening of exchanges and expansion of cooperation among BRICS countries.

Huang Haikun, the vice governor of Fujian Province, expressed that to build the BRICS innovation center in Xiamen is a major historical mission given to Fujian and Xiamen by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. He hopes that everyone can give full play to the role of think tanks in gathering talents, gather the wisdom of BRICS, and work together to build the Xiamen BRICS Innovation Center into a landmark and exemplary cooperation platform for the BRICS countries under the framework of the new industrial revolution partnership.

Anil Kishola, Deputy President of the New Development Bank, announced in his speech that the New Development Bank will actively support the construction of the BRICS innovation center, share best practices and experience, and help the BRICS cooperation and innovation base construction.

Jin Xin, Secretary-General of the China Council for BRICS Think Tank Cooperation and Director of the Research Office of International Department Central Committee of CPC, presided over the opening ceremony. The leaders of the relevant departments of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the leaders of the BRICS think tanks Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa also gave speeches or video speeches at the opening ceremony. Xiamen City leaders Chen Qiuxiong, Huang Wenhui, Huang Yanqiang, Huang Xiaozhou, Lin Jian and Huang Guobin attended the opening ceremony.

At the seminar held that day, participants from the BRICS think tanks, business, and financial circles conducted in-depth discussions on topics such as promoting the construction of the BRICS innovation center, promoting investment and trade facilitation, and promoting financial innovation cooperation.

A number of guests pointed out that the new round of technological revolutions and industrial changes such as artificial intelligence, big data, and quantum communications have brought new opportunities and new key links to BRICS innovation cooperation. The construction of the BRICS innovation center should take digitization, intelligence, and networking as important development directions, and strive to promote pragmatic cooperation in the fields of digital economy, smart manufacturing, and green and low-carbon.

  • My Disability Provider strengthens inclusivity across Melbourne’s west with new multilingual services supporting NDIS participants aged 0–65

Caroline Springs, Victoria, 4 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, My Disability Provider, a leading NDIS-registered organisation supporting individuals aged 0–65 across Melbourne’s western suburbs, has officially launched a new suite of multilingual services to improve accessibility for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. This expansion strengthens the provider’s mission to deliver inclusive, person-centred care that reflects the multilingual makeup of Melbourne’s rapidly growing population.

“Our community represents people from all corners of the world, each bringing unique languages, experiences, and expectations. Language barriers should never prevent someone from accessing essential support. Our multilingual services ensure every individual — and every family — can communicate confidently, clearly, and without fear of misunderstanding.” – a spokesperson from My Disability Provider

Serving more than 1,000 Australians through its NDIS-covered and private support programs, My Disability Provider has become a trusted name in disability care across Melton, Werribee, Caroline Springs, Truganina, Tarneit, and surrounding regions. The introduction of multilingual support workers and interpreters will strengthen communication between clients, families, and staff, ensuring that people of all ages receive support that honours their cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

The new multilingual services cover key languages commonly spoken across Melbourne’s west, including Arabic, Punjabi, Hindi, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Somali, and more. Trained bilingual staff will assist clients and families with service navigation, support planning, appointment coordination, and day-to-day communication — significantly improving accessibility for people who speak English as a second language.

“Our goal has always been to deliver support that goes beyond the basics,” the spokesperson added. “Whether we’re assisting an adult with community access, guiding a young person through skill-building activities, or coordinating essential services, communication is at the heart of everything we do. These multilingual initiatives allow us to connect more meaningfully with every client we serve.”

The organisation has spent months preparing for the rollout, including formal staff training, internal communication upgrades, and consultations with local cultural groups to understand the key barriers faced by CALD families and participants. My Disability Provider is also expanding its cultural awareness training program to ensure respectful, informed, and culturally safe interactions with every client.

Clients and families across the region have welcomed the initiative, calling it a critical step toward a more inclusive disability support landscape. Melbourne’s western suburbs are among the most culturally diverse areas in Australia, and language-inclusive services are now more essential than ever for ensuring equitable access to quality support.

For many individuals navigating the NDIS for the first time, multilingual assistance can mean the difference between confusion and confidence. My Disability Provider’s approach guarantees that clients can understand their options, express their needs clearly, and receive support that aligns with their personal goals, cultural values, and preferred communication style.

“Our promise is simple,” concluded the spokesperson. “Every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. This multilingual expansion brings us one step closer to ensuring that no client — regardless of their background or language — is left behind in their care journey.”

NexMetals Mining Raises $80 Million Securing Title on Two Botswana Critical Metal Projects

Published

December 4, 2025

By

On December 3, 2025 NexMetals Mining confirmed that it now has unencumbered title to both the Selebi and Selkirk copper, nickel, cobalt and platinum group element (“Cu-Ni-Co-PGE“) assets.

Vancouver, BC, December 3, 2025 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of NexMetals Mining. On December 2, 2025 NexMetals Mining (TSXV: NEXM) (NASDAQ: NEXM) confirmed that it now has unencumbered title to both the Selebi and Selkirk copper, nickel, cobalt and platinum group element (“Cu-Ni-Co-PGE“) assets.

This milestone follows NEXM’s recent equity financing which raised CDN $80 million at $5.70 per unit, including a lead order from Texas-based Condire Investors LLC (Condire).

NexMetals owns two previously producing Cu-Ni-Co-PGE mines in Botswana – a safe, mineral-rich Tier 1 mining jurisdiction in Africa. 

Condire focuses across the commodity sector, including energy, precious and base metals. The company has Assets Under Management (AUM) of approximately $1.2 billion according to its Form ADV from March, 2025.

“The strong support from both new and existing institutional investors, including the addition of Condire as a new 9.9% shareholder, is a testament to the meaningful progress we have made over the past two quarters in strengthening the Company,” stated NEXM CEO Morgan Lekstrom in the November 17 press release.

“We are deleveraging the balance sheet, advancing our assets, and delivering on our strategic objectives,” added Lekstrom.

The CAD$80 million raise will allow NEXM to meet a US$25 million contingent milestone payment, securing title for both Selebi and Selkirk, while accelerating the next phase of growth and project derisking.

“The financing increases institutional ownership from 30% to 75% and eliminates legacy debt that had created a significant market overhang,” stated Crux Investor. 

In the November 19, 2025 Crux Investor video interview below, CEO Morgan Lekstrom talks about the NEXM’s near and medium-term objectives.

“When our team got involved, there was $21 million of debt on the books,” Lekstrom told Crux Investor. “We had a payment coming up of $35 million Canadian. We cleared out the debt, converted it to equity. We’ve brought in a new 9.9% shareholder called Condire, and our own shareholder, EdgePoint, wrote a $9 million check. About 97% of our book was long-only institutions.”

On September 3, 2025 NexMetals announced a significant metallurgical break-through at its past-producing copper-nickel-cobalt Selebi Mines in Botswana.

The underground Selebi Mines were in production between 1980 and 2016. Both Selebi and Selebi North mines, having produced 40 million tonnes of ore, were put into Care & Maintenance due to low metal prices and a failure of the on-site smelter.

Following NexMetals’ bulk sample-based metallurgical program at its Selebi Mines in Botswana, the company has created “the optionality to produce both a saleable copper concentrate and a saleable nickel concentrate”.

September 3, 2025 metallurgical news highlights:

  • on-site smelter may not be required
  • significant reduction in capital expenditure
  • simplified permitting process
  • smaller environmental footprint
  • lower energy costs
  • expanded commercial pathways for mined products
  • more competitive environment for off-take agreements
  • reduction of operational complexity
  • fewer highly specialised employees required
  • faster, cheaper, more efficient re-start

“Our copper concentrate is 27.6% grade, 87% recovery,” reported NexMetals’ President, Sean Whiteford, a geologist and mining executive who has held corporate, operational and technical roles at BHP, Rio Tinto and Cliffs Natural Resources.

“Producing separate saleable concentrates gives NexMetals a strategic advantage because now we have an alternative development option with lower CAPEX, lower OPEX and lower execution risk,” added Whiteford.

“We don’t want to build a billion-dollar smelter, because that kills projects from a risk and capital side,” Lekstrom confirmed to Crux Investor. “We solved the metallurgy issue. I don’t think the markets have understood how big that is for the company. We’ve deleted a huge amount of required capital expenditure.”

“I consider Botswana to be the safest jurisdiction in Africa,” Lekstrom told Crux Investor. “I walk around at night. The people are friendly. It is the longest continuously running democracy in all of Africa. They just celebrated a 59th anniversary. The country is very mining-focused.”

On December 3, 2025, NexMetals announced that it has drilled 231 metres of 1.09% CuEq, including 97 metres of 1.28% CuEq establishing scale, grade and expansion potential at Selkirk.

“The takeaway from this metallurgical drilling program is the sizable, mineralized continuity across this deposit,” stated Lekstrom in the press release. “The next stage will refine the flowsheet, confirm recoveries across the program, and drive the technical work that will inform future development decisions. Selkirk is increasingly demonstrating its potential as a significant additional value driver for NexMetals.”

For the last decade, diamonds have accounted for around 80% of Botswana’s exports, one-third of fiscal revenues, and one-quarter of GDP.

“The market for natural diamonds is in crisis, with cut-price lab-grown equivalents hitting demand particularly hard in the U.S.,” confirms Japan Times (JT) on September 4, 2025.

Botswana President Duma Boko has been vocal about his intention to diversify into non-diamond commodities. On September 26, 2025 the President appeared on CNN to discuss job creation, value-add in-country processing and expansion of intra-African trade.

“We want to strategically control the diamond sector and reform it as we go forward,” said President Boko on CNN. “But also diversify within the mining sector. In Botswana, we have other minerals which we haven’t exploited.”

“I’ve had the privilege of meeting President Duma Boko,” NexMetals CEO Lekstrom told GSN. “He is a Harvard Law School graduate, a passionate politician and a sharp businessman. We believe the Selebi and Selkirk copper-nickel projects can play a positive role in Botswana’s next economic evolution.” 

Recent interest in the Selebi and Selkirk Mines has been catalysed by a surge in demand for critical metals required for the green energy transformation (Solar, EVs). In the last five years, as demand drivers intensify, the price of copper has increased 115% – from USD $2.36/lb to $5.12/lb.

[1]The mineral resource estimate on the Selebi Mine is supported by the technical report entitled “Technical Report, Selebi Mines, Central District, Republic of Botswana” and dated September 20, 2024. The report was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K and is available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (www.sec.gov), in each case, under NEXM’s issuer profile.
