VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB US: DMGGF) (FRANKFURT: 6AX) (“DMG”), a leading vertically integrated blockchain and data center technology company, announces it has received verbal approval by its utility for an additional 10 megawatts of non-firm power. This raises DMG’s total available power capacity to 75 megawatts based on a combination of 15 megawatts of firm power and 60 megawatts of non-firm (curtailable) power. While the Company has previously submitted an application for 150 megawatts of firm power, it now plans to submit a new application for additional non-firm power, which, if approved, may be more readily available at a lower capital cost. DMG’s use of non-firm power has been an unqualified success to date. It has not only helped to modestly reduce its energy costs but has also resulted in only three days of curtailment, which occurred in February 2025. DMG has the option to utilize financial hedging contracts that could effectively eliminate financial curtailment events, albeit at a higher average energy rate than utilizing unhedged energy. While this hedged rate would typically not be financially attractive for Bitcoin mining, it would be appropriate for an AI data center. The Company is also exploring with its utility the ability to utilize the natural gas transmission line located on its Christina Lake property for back-up power generation and potentially primary generation in the future, combined with the possibility of utilizing renewable natural gas (RNG) that provides off-takers the option of a fully carbon neutral operation. DMG’s CEO, Sheldon Bennett, commented, “Even as we are focused on finding the right AI off-takers for our Christina Lake data center, in parallel, we are seeking options that will position the property to be more valuable, especially if we can provide power expansion opportunities that go well beyond 50 megawatts of critical IT load.

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images By Lynn Song, Chief Economist, Greater China Two Sessions to be key for this year’s policy backdrop China's annual target-setting is always an important event. Since GDP growth targets were first published in 1990, China has fallen short of the target only a couple of times. Generally, betting on China to miss its target has been a losing bet for forecasters. This year's GDP growth target was reduced to 4.5-5.0%, a slight softening from the more ambiguous "around 5%" target set in the past three years. While it was debatable how much flexibility "around 5%" entailed, most market participants viewed this as within 0.2-0.3pp of 5%. With the new target, there appears to be a tolerance for slower growth, which should give policymakers more flexibility to pursue quality growth, a priority in recent years. The government work report outlined an intention for "laying a solid foundation for doubling per capita GDP by 2035 compared to 2020," a key goal set by President Xi in the past. The softer GDP target was in line with our expectations, as we had hints of this outcome earlier when various provinces also revised growth targets lower. Our GDP forecast for the year is 4.6% year-on-year, which would fall within this range. Anti-involution push continues in the background The government recently published "Price Behaviour Compliance Guidelines for the Automotive Industry", taking aim at automakers pricing cars below cost to gain market share. It also signalled a crackdown on price fixing. Much like the regulations introduced for platform companies in 2025, new guidance was issued to prevent major brands from pressuring dealers to sell certain models at prices that would leave them unprofitable. The anti-involution measures have attracted considerable attention and debate over the past year. It can be argued that these measures are already beginning to show some effect. PMI and PPI data show that ex-factory price indicators have bee...

IURII KRASILNIKOV/iStock via Getty Images Ring Energy ( REI ) is projected to generate $48 million in 2026 free cash flow at current strip prices while roughly maintaining production levels. It does benefit from the recent spike in oil prices, although the oil futures market is in significant backwardation. This results in the 2026 WTI oil strip being around $71 despite April 2026 futures being close to $80. I am increasing my estimate of Ring's value from $1.45 per share to $1.60 per share due to improved near-term oil prices. This is based on long-term (after 2026) $70 WTI oil, which I'll note is higher than strip prices from September 2026 onward. I am thus moving to a neutral outlook on Ring at its current share price, as it has gone up over 50% since I last looked at it. Q4 2025 Results Ring had 20,508 BOEPD in total sales volumes in Q4 2025 , which was near the high end of expectations. It sold 13,124 barrels of oil per day, which was in line with expectations. Ring realized negative $2.5 million (before hedges) for non-oil sales volumes during the quarter, though, so that outperformance in non-oil volumes didn't help it financially. Ring did report significantly lower lease operating expenses, at $10.02 per BOE, which was 7% lower than the low end of its guidance. This was partially affected by the higher non-oil sales volumes, but even with an oil cut in line with guidance, Ring's lease operating expenses would have ended up around 4% below the low end of its guidance. Ring reported $5.7 million in adjusted free cash flow in Q4 2025 and continued paying down its debt. It noted that it has paid down its debt by $40 million since the closing of the Lime Rock acquisition in March 2025. Notes On Oil Prices While near-term WTI oil prices are near $80, the oil futures market is in significant backwardation, with September 2026 futures under $70 and the 2027 strip at around $65. I am maintaining my long-term (after 2026) WTI oil price estimate at $70, which is stil...
