Silver Scott Mines, Inc. and Himalaya Technologies to Launch Expert Market Protocol and HMLA MEME Coin for Shareholder Engagement

FRANKLIN, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2025 / Silver Scott Mines, Inc. (OTCID:SILS) (the "Company") and Himalaya Technologies, Inc. (OTC Expert:HMLA) today announced that they are developing Expert Market Protocol ("EMP"; www.expertmarketprotocol.com), a new blockchain-powered platform built to give companies and their shareholders stuck on the OTC Expert Market new tools, visibility, and engagement opportunities.

The project is being developed as part of a recently signed contract between the two companies that aligns their interests in developing crypto forward solutions to current financial market problems. With Silver Scott Mines, Inc. becoming a sizable Himalaya shareholder (30%) the benefits of successful projects are compounded. The goal of Expert Market Protocol is to build a framework where issuers can connect directly with their investor base, leveraging blockchain transparency and creative digital assets to drive awareness and activity. The Companies envision attaching a crypto social network driving the EMP and generate a flywheel effect between shareholders and the blockchain.

As part of the rollout, Silver Scott and Himalaya plan to introduce the HMLA MEME Coin -a community-driven digital token that will act as a marketing and entertainment tool for HMLA shareholders. These coins are designed for fun, engagement, and brand-building, not as securities or investments. The Company stresses that the HMLA MEME Coin has no intrinsic or financial value and should not be considered a store of value or investment product.

"Crypto culture is about community, creativity, and participation," said Stuart Fine CEO of Silver Scott Mines. "With Expert Market Protocol, we're combining blockchain innovation with shareholder communication. The HMLA MEME Coin is a fun first step in showing how companies on the Expert Market can still build engagement, energy, and visibility with their investor base."

Vik Grover, CEO of Himalaya stated, "After being moved to the Expert Market, I realized that the options for getting off this exchange are extremely challenging from a corporate standpoint. Being moved to the Expert Market dramatically reduces liquidity and capital availability, which makes it impossible to fund operations and build value for shareholders. In discussing this conundrum with Silver Scott's digital team, we conceived a platform that can help both companies and shareholders alike. I've already seen Silver Scott execute on other web3 projects and have full confidence that once the site is launched it will bring new opportunities for companies who are in a similar position to ours. It's time for OTC issuers and their constituents to make the quantum leap to the blockchain, which is a natural step for companies with no viable alternative for future listing due to our outdated regulatory system."
