As the global demand for metals surges and the U.S. government turns to Alaska for secure critical mineral supply, a renewed sense of purpose is taking place in America’s Last Frontier. With prices rising for minerals like copper, silver and gold, and federal momentum building behind domestic production, Alaska’s mining sector has entered a new era of growth since the election. 

Alaska is exceptionally rich in critical mineral potential; of the U.S. government’s 60 designated critical minerals, at least 50 are found within the state, positioning Alaska as a cornerstone of America’s strategy to secure domestic supply chains for essential resources. From the copper, zinc and cobalt-rich Ambler Mining District – home to world-class deposits, Alaska’s mineral endowment is both vast and diversified.

Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ), a company focused on developing its high-grade copper assets in the Ambler Mining District, recently marked significant steps forward in both infrastructure and investment support. On the same day that President Trump issued a decision to grant the permits for the Ambler Road, the U.S. Department of War (“DOW”) invested $35.6 million to acquire a 10% stake in Trilogy, highlighting the importance of the district’s mineral resources. Trilogy, through its Ambler Metals joint venture with South32 Limited, controls a 471,800-acre mineral land package, including the district’s two most advanced deposits: Arctic and Bornite. Together, these deposits host copper, zinc, lead, gold, silver and cobalt (ibn.fm/etZJm).

Led by Alaska’s state-owned corporation, the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (“AIDEA”), the state has prioritized the advancement of the Ambler Access Project, a proposed 211-mile industrial road designed to connect the mineral-rich Ambler Mining District to Alaska’s broader transportation network. With federal permits for the road now executed, the project represents a key milestone in positioning Alaska as a national leader in responsible resource development.

With Alaska emerging as a critical hub for domestic mineral production, Trilogy Metals stands at the forefront of unlocking the state’s vast resource potential. As the joint venture owner of Ambler Metals which is developing the Ambler Mining District’s most advanced deposits, Arctic and Bornite, Trilogy is strategically positioned to deliver the metals essential to the United States’ clean energy, defense, and technology sectors.

• Glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”) is an aggressive brain cancer with limited treatment options, and CEO John Climaco emphasized the company’s commitment to overcoming the blood-brain barrier, a key obstacle in brain cancer therapy.
• Lead candidate TPI 287, an abeotaxane, has shown early evidence of appearing to cross the blood-brain barrier and producing clinical responses.
• Phase 2 planning is underway following encouraging data from a Phase 1 combination study with bevacizumab (Avastin).
• The company’s repurposed global clinical network and regulatory progress position it for potential late-stage development in 2026.
• TPI 287 holds multiple Orphan Drug Designations, covering gliomas, neuroblastoma, and other CNS-related indications.

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in novel treatments for primary and metastatic brain cancers is sharpening its focus on glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), one of the deadliest and least treatable forms of cancer. In a recent interview on The BioMedWire Podcast, CEO John Climaco described glioblastoma as “one of the two greatest unmet needs in oncology today,” alongside pancreatic cancer (https://ibn.fm/nEVWs).

“There is no cure,” Climaco said. “Patients have very little hope. Our mission is to change that completely, and we think we have the drugs to do it.”

The company’s therapeutic strategy centers on overcoming the blood-brain barrier (“BBB”), a critical biological defense that restricts most drugs from reaching brain tumors. “The problem for patients and clinicians in the space is that the cancers take place in the brain behind the blood-brain barrier, which is this very specialized network of cells that prevents otherwise helpful drugs from reaching the site of the cancer.… We believe that is the reason why a cancer like glioblastoma remains one of the two greatest unmet needs in oncology today, the other being pancreatic cancer,” the CNS Pharmaceuticals CEO explained. 

Many promising cancer treatments fail to achieve effective concentrations inside the central nervous system. CNS Pharmaceuticals’ drug candidate, TPI 287, aims to bypass this limitation. TPI 287 belongs to the taxane family, which includes paclitaxel and docetaxel, but is designed to evade drug transporters that typically block these agents at the BBB. The compound works by stabilizing microtubules, preventing cancer cell division and promoting apoptosis.

Early clinical data suggest that TPI 287 could represent progress in treating GBM. In a Phase 1 study combining TPI 287 with bevacizumab (Avastin), 23 patients with recurrent glioblastoma were evaluated. Investigators reported three complete responses and nine partial responses, results that are notable given the disease’s typically poor prognosis.

Median survival for glioblastoma patients remains approximately 15 months despite surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. As such, any evidence of durable responses in late-stage disease provides valuable insight into potential therapeutic activity.

Climaco also highlighted how the company adapted its operations following earlier work with berubicin, another brain cancer candidate. “When you have a drug development company, you’ve got to realize that 90% of oncology drug trials fail. Those are the odds that you’re facing… That doesn’t dissuade us at all, because we know these drugs work. We have to prove that; that is our job,” he explained. “So, when we pivoted from our berubicin study to our TPI 287 program, we didn’t miss a beat. We have repurposed all of the work that we did to develop a global clinical network for berubicin over to our TPI program. We really just seamlessly moved forward on that.”

This repurposing of existing resources, clinical sites, data systems, and regulatory frameworks, positions CNS Pharmaceuticals to move efficiently toward its next development phase.

CNS Pharmaceuticals recently announced that it will meet with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration later this year to discuss the design of a potential registration-directed Phase 2 study in recurrent GBM. The company anticipates launching the trial in the first half of 2026.

TPI 287 already holds Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for multiple indications, including gliomas, pediatric neuroblastoma, and progressive supranuclear palsy. These designations can provide financial incentives, fee waivers, and potential market exclusivity upon approval.

In parallel, CNS Pharmaceuticals continues to maintain visibility within the investment and scientific communities. The company presented recent updates at the H.C. Wainwright 27th Annual Global Investment Conference in New York in September 2025, where executives met with institutional investors and analysts. A webcast of the presentation is available on the company’s Events page (https://ibn.fm/kskOJ).

Beyond primary brain tumors, TPI 287 may also have applications in metastatic cancers that spread to the brain. Climaco noted that approximately 40% of patients with triple-negative breast cancer develop brain metastases, representing a significant opportunity for CNS Pharmaceuticals’ drug candidates.

“When you look at the opportunities in the space that a drug like berubicin or TPI 287 could have, not just in the primary brain cancer space, but in the metastatic space, in triple-negative breast cancer – where 40% of patients have a metastasis to the brain – the multiple and the size of the potential market for these drugs is absolutely enormous,” he said. “We have demonstrated what I believe is absolutely world-class operational expertise and the ability to bring a trial through to completion on time and on budget. We’ll do it again with TPI, and we hope that we’ll have a positive result and be on our way to a drug approval.”

So far, TPI 287 has been tested in more than 350 patients across several cancer types, either as a single agent or in combination therapies. These include recurrent neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, advanced pancreatic cancer, metastatic melanoma, and breast cancer metastatic to the brain. The drug candidate has shown a favorable safety and tolerability profile, which is a crucial factor as CNS Pharmaceuticals moves toward larger clinical studies.

Some other noteworthy highlights from the study include:

• Teams identified 850% more confirmed hazardous areas (“CHA”) per hour per team with Safe Pro’s technology.
• Over a 12-month period, surveys that used SpotlightAI(TM) were 570% more effective at defining CHA than those that didn’t use the technology.
• The technology led to 300% faster survey speed per hour per team.
• A roughly 50% per hectare reduction in labor cost, while also improving survey speed and accuracy.

Speaking about the study, Safe Pro Group Chairman and CEO, Dan Erdberg, said that “The comprehensive data presented by NPA confirms the dramatic impact SpotlightAI(TM) can have helping the nearly 60 countries contaminated with UXO return their land to productivity. Our novel approach leverages the power of AI and drones to protect lives and provide hope to millions who are denied access to their land. For years we have been working to maximize the ROI on the millions of dollars currently being invested into demining programs around the world by governments and humanitarian donors to restore land to productive use. We continue to work tirelessly alongside NPA and their on-the-ground teams to address the massive landmine and UXO crisis facing Ukraine and other countries around the globe.”

Htut also gave their thoughts on the study and results and said “It was an honor to present with Jasper at the GICHD Innovation 2025 conference on NPA’s nearly 2-year collaboration with Safe Pro AI in Ukraine. The preliminary findings of our study suggest an outsized impact in increased person-hour efficiency of Non-Technical Survey when using SpotlightAI(TM) to augment our imagery analysis of minefields in Ukraine.”

• Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, responsible for an estimated 17.9 million deaths annually.
• The HeartBeam System enables a patient to capture a 30-second ECG recording with its credit-card-sized, cable-free device, regardless of where they are.
• The HeartBeam-HeartNexus collaboration makes board-certified cardiologists available 24/7 to interpret the results for arrhythmia assessment and provide expert feedback directly to the patient or to a coordinating clinician.

HeartBeam (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical-technology company developing next-generation cardiac diagnostics via its patented 12-Lead ECG synthesis software, has announced a strategic collaboration with HeartNexus (https://ibn.fm/yyz1i). The partnership will expand access to cardiologist-level ECG insights for arrhythmia assessment anytime, anywhere.

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, responsible for an estimated 17.9 million deaths annually according to the World Health Organization (https://ibn.fm/oQxTL). ECGs are the most common cardiac test yet standard ECG testing often requires in-clinic visits, specialized equipment and trained personnel (https://ibn.fm/aQV4K). By enabling cardiologist-level ECG interpretation in a mobile format, HeartBeam’s synthesis ECG platform addresses critical gaps in timely detection and monitoring of arrhythmias, potentially reducing time-to-diagnosis and improving outcomes.

The need for seamless ECG insights is especially relevant in the current healthcare landscape, where telehealth and remote monitoring have accelerated, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients managing chronic cardiac conditions, recent hospital discharges or symptoms at home often rely on intermittent teleconsultation. 

However, the majority of at-home options rarely offer full 12-lead ECG data or advanced interpretation. With HeartBeam, a patient who is feeling arrhythmia symptoms, such as palpitations, can capture a 30-second recording with the credit-card-sized, cable-free device, regardless of where they are. The device’s patented 3D technology records the heart’s electrical signals in three dimensions and synthesizes the signals into a 12-lead ECG, which is securely transmitted to the HeartNexus team of board-certified cardiologists for immediate review. At that point, a cardiologist interprets the results for arrhythmia assessment and provides expert feedback directly to the patient or to a coordinating clinician. All this is done through HeartBeam’s secure ecosystem, which is slated to include future enhancements such as AI wellness and community features and wearable integration.

Beyond diagnosis, the partnership also has implications for patient engagement and monitoring. Patients at elevated risk for cardiac issues often face frequent clinic visits and standard device check-ups. However, by enabling remote ECG acquisition and analysis, the HeartBeam solution may reduce the burden on patients and health systems while improving adherence and monitoring frequency. Increased data capture and remote surveillance potentially enable proactive intervention, identifying trends or arrhythmias before they escalate and supporting value-based care models focused on prevention and early action.

For investors and industry observers, this collaboration represents a meaningful step in HeartBeam’s commercial strategy. The company’s movement from device development into integrated cardiac care ecosystems indicates scalability and applicability across markets, including telemedicine, home-care monitoring and ambulatory cardiology. As the cardiac care paradigm shifts toward decentralized and continuous monitoring, HeartBeam’s groundbreaking ECG technology paired with on-demand, expert cardiology interpretation from HeartNexus positions it to capture a growing share of the remote cardiac monitoring ecosystem.

• SuperCom’s PureSecurity(TM) electronic monitoring platform integrates GPS, RFID, and cloud-based tools, providing offender tracking and domestic violence prevention.
• The new Alabama contracts bring SuperCom’s total deployments in the state to four in less than a year.
• Agreements include a full system replacement from a legacy provider and a new deployment with a private EM service partner.
• Expansion highlights continued U.S. growth, with SuperCom entering 12 new states since mid-2024.
• Nationwide, the company has signed over 30 U.S. contracts and launched 14 partnerships with service providers in the past year.

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global provider of secured e-Government, IoT, and cybersecurity solutions, announced it has secured two new electronic monitoring (“EM”) service provider contracts in Alabama, thereby extending its presence in the U.S. market. These two new agreements mark SuperCom’s third and fourth deployments in Alabama in less than a year, underscoring the company’s accelerating expansion in the southeastern United States and growing role in supporting state and local public safety initiatives (https://ibn.fm/1fuPN).

The first of the new Alabama contracts involves a complete system transition from an incumbent monitoring provider to SuperCom’s proprietary PureSecurity(TM) platform, which combines GPS, RFID, and cloud-based management tools. The second engagement is with a service provider launching new EM operations, selecting SuperCom as its primary technology partner.

“Adding two new service provider partnerships in Alabama so soon after securing two direct agency contracts portrays some of the strong momentum we’re experiencing in this state and across the country,” said Ordan Trabelsi, President and CEO of SuperCom. “Both providers have committed to working with SuperCom to support current and future electronic monitoring programs, whether by replacing legacy systems or preparing to launch new initiatives.”

Earlier this year, SuperCom signed two direct contracts with Alabama agencies, one in January and another in August, making the state one of the company’s most active new markets in 2025. Together, the four deployments reflect rising adoption of advanced EM solutions as state and local authorities replace aging infrastructure with more data-driven, real-time monitoring systems.

The Alabama deals come as part of SuperCom’s broader expansion strategy in North America. Since mid-2024, the company has entered 12 new U.S. states, signed more than 30 contracts, and established 14 service provider partnerships across the country.

“This expansion reflects a familiar pattern we’ve seen in other regions—where initial wins often lead to broader adoption over time. In Europe, early projects have frequently developed into multi-program relationships across multiple jurisdictions,” Trabelsi said. “In the U.S., we’re observing similar momentum, with programs expanding both within states and into new ones as agencies and partners deepen their engagement with our technology.”

SuperCom’s growth in Alabama mirrors the approach that has allowed it to scale rapidly in international markets. In September, the company secured a $7 million national contract in Germany, displacing a 20-year incumbent provider and reinforcing its reputation for delivering reliable public safety technology at scale. “Our Alabama expansion is a nice example of this pattern, as we continue to earn the trust of both public agencies and service providers seeking reliable, modern public safety solutions,” Trabelsi concluded.

SuperCom’s expansion has been driven by the adoption of its PureSecurity(TM) suite, a modular platform designed for offender monitoring and domestic violence prevention. The system integrates multiple hardware and software components, including:

• PureOne — a one-piece GPS bracelet for continuous indoor and outdoor tracking.
• PureCom — an RF base station used for house arrest programs.
• PureTag — a compact RF bracelet compatible across the platform’s full range of applications.
• PureTrack(TM) — a smartphone-based GPS tracking solution paired with the PureTag.
• PureShield(TM) and PureProtect(TM) — mobile applications that improve domestic violence victim safety through proximity alerts.
• PureBeacon — an RF device designed for indoor surveillance when GPS is unsuitable.
• PureMonitor — a cloud-based interface that allows authorities to manage cases and respond in real time.

The flexibility of the PureSecurity(TM) platform enables law enforcement agencies and service providers to combine devices and software tools to meet a variety of monitoring needs, ranging from home confinement to parole supervision and domestic violence protection.

SuperCom’s technologies are designed to enhance community safety while alleviating the burden on correctional facilities, as research from multiple jurisdictions underscores the role of EM in reducing reoffending and promoting rehabilitation. With four Alabama deployments in under 12 months and increased interest from other jurisdictions, SuperCom is expected to continue deepening its footprint across the United States.

Technology

SPARC AI’s technology suite delivers precision target acquisition, navigation, and autonomous intelligence in environments where GPS and traditional sensors fail. At its core is the Target Acquisition System, a software-only solution that determines the geolocation of any visible object using camera telemetry data. By removing the need for specialized hardware like lasers, radar, or lidar, the platform reduces weight, power use, and cost. Built on advanced mathematical modeling, it constructs a 3D understanding of terrain and position, achieving GPS-level accuracy in a zero-signature configuration suited for defense, rescue, and commercial operations.

SPARC AI Mobile extends this capability to handheld and field-issued devices, allowing operators to mark and transmit target coordinates directly from smartphones or rugged tablets. Once a target is identified, the device relays the coordinates to a connected drone, which autonomously navigates to the location for reconnaissance or engagement. The mobile system maintains accuracy even in GPS-jammed or degraded environments, turning each device into a connected node within a broader distributed network.

The company’s GPS-Denied Navigation engine enables mission planning and execution without satellite signals. Operators can design flight paths, define perimeters, and simulate routes to identify optimal vantage points and minimize resource use. Counter-surveillance and threat-prediction tools model adversarial visibility, helping users avoid detection and maximize ground coverage. Together, these capabilities form the foundation of SPARC AI’s software architecture, providing the intelligence backbone for its integrated command platform.

Overwatch Target Intelligence

Overwatch unifies all SPARC AI technologies, including its Target Acquisition, Mobile, and Navigation systems, into a single mission-ready platform that fuses detection, classification, tracking, and navigation in real time. It transforms drones and robotic systems into fully autonomous intelligence assets by synchronizing data across connected devices.

STRW CEO and Chairman, Moishe Gubin, commented on the results: “2025 has been the strongest year for the Company to date. Between multiple large acquisitions, coupled with lease renewals, the Company’s AFFO CAGR has continued to be in excess of 13%. As we near year-end, I anticipate the Company being able to maintain this momentum and close the year strong.”

Strawberry Fields REIT also held the Company’s quarterly earnings conference call and discussed the Q3 results (Strawberry Fields REIT Q3 2025 Earnings.mp4).

In addition to covering the revenue and key financial metrics mentioned earlier, he also stated that the total assets of the Company reached $880 million, which is 33.1% higher than Q3 2024.

• Nicola’s dual-track strategy — advancing exploration while generating operating income — remains a key differentiator among junior mining peers.
• Noble’s analysis devotes significant focus to the upcoming 2026 exploration program at Treasure Mountain.
• Noble concludes that Nicola Mining’s disciplined management, diversified asset portfolio and strong operating partnerships give it a clear path to growth.

Nicola Mining (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) continues to gain positive analyst attention as Noble Capital Markets reaffirmed the company’s “Outperform” rating in an updated research report, raised Nicola’s price target to $1.20 per share (https://ibn.fm/VS1WC). The report emphasizes Nicola’s balanced business model, combining strong exploration potential with active cash flow from its fully permitted Merritt Mill. Noble’s analysts view the company as well positioned to unlock value through its copper and silver projects in British Columbia while maintaining shareholder-friendly financial discipline.

According to the report, Nicola’s dual-track strategy — advancing exploration while generating operating income — remains a key differentiator among junior mining peers. The company’s flagship New Craigmont Copper Project sits in the prolific Quesnel Trough, adjacent to Teck Resources’ Highland Valley Copper Mine, Canada’s largest copper operation. Noble points to this location as offering both geological promise and strategic positioning within one of the country’s most mining-friendly jurisdictions. The report also highlights Nicola’s 100% ownership of the past-producing Treasure Mountain Silver Mine, which continues to attract attention for its high-grade potential and long-term development prospects.

Noble’s analysis devotes significant focus to the upcoming 2026 exploration program at Treasure Mountain, which follows years of methodical groundwork, including geophysical surveys, soil sampling and field reconnaissance. The project’s 2025 preparation work culminated in a multiyear, area-based exploration permit and a 10-year mine lease extension through 2032. 

Drilling targets will test several steeply dipping, sulfide-rich veins northwest of the historic mine. Earlier sampling campaigns confirmed the presence of silver, copper, lead, zinc, and gold, reinforcing confidence in mineral continuity at depth. Noble notes that these results justify Nicola’s plan for a 4,000-to-5,000-meter diamond drill program to expand known mineralization zones and add to the project’s resource base.

In addition to exploration progress, Noble highlights ongoing cash generation from Nicola’s Merritt Mill, which processes third-party ore under long-term agreements. The mill continues to benefit from its partnership with Talisker Resources, which produced 1,569 ounces of gold in the quarter ended September 30 from its Mustang Mine. Nicola receives a share of gross profit from this milling activity, helping support corporate operations and exploration spending. A recent 10-year extension of its milling partnership with Blue Lagoon Resources further strengthens Nicola’s recurring revenue base. That agreement ensures a stable processing solution for Blue Lagoon’s Dome Mountain Gold Project near Smithers, British Columbia, securing a long-term supply of high-grade ore for the Merritt Mill.

The report also references a recent financial milestone: the conversion of convertible debentures held by Concept Capital Management into 22.9 million common shares. This move simplified Nicola’s balance sheet by removing debt, increasing total shares outstanding to approximately 206.8 million and designating Concept Capital as a 20.96% control block shareholder. Noble views this conversion as a positive signal of investor confidence and a key step in strengthening Nicola’s capital structure ahead of its next exploration phase.

Noble’s valuation for Nicola uses a sum-of-the-parts approach, attributing value to the New Craigmont Copper Project, the Merritt Mill and Tailings Facility, the sand and gravel operations, and the Treasure Mountain Silver Mine. The analysts cite higher metals prices, particularly for gold and silver, as a driver for the increased price target. At the time of the report, gold and silver had risen to $4,226 and $52.55 per ounce, respectively, leading to improved sector-wide peer valuations. By incorporating these pricing assumptions, Noble projects Nicola’s revenue to grow sharply from approximately $28 million in 2025 to more than $93 million in 2026, with earnings per share improving from $0.08 to $0.24.

Beyond valuation metrics, Noble assigns Nicola a 3.0 out of 5.0 fundamental rating, categorized as “Average” under its scoring system but emphasizing that the company’s governance and operating model compare favorably with other exploration-stage firms. The report praises Nicola’s shareholder-friendly structure, noting that its mix of cash-generating assets and exploration properties reduces reliance on equity dilution, an uncommon strength among junior miners. Furthermore, the analysts highlight British Columbia’s top-tier ranking (13th of 82 jurisdictions) for mining investment attractiveness in the Fraser Institute’s 2024 survey, underscoring the company’s strategic advantage in a politically stable environment.

Noble concludes that Nicola Mining’s disciplined management, diversified asset portfolio and strong operating partnerships give it a clear path to growth. The combination of near-term production cash flow and significant exploration upside supports the firm’s view that Nicola is “well on its way toward unlocking the value of its properties.” With key exploration programs planned, increasing gold and silver prices, and steady mill revenues, Noble expects Nicola’s progress to translate into continued share price appreciation.
