• BluSky AI’s business plan includes rapidly deploying SkyMod data centers to meet growing demand for high-performance AI infrastructure
• The company operates at the intersection of modular data center design, energy optimization, and GPU-as-a-Service delivery
• The latest updates underscore the company’s broader goal: To empower organizations with flexible, scalable AI infrastructure without compromise

BluSky AI (OTC: BSAI) is strategically positioning itself at the forefront of a major shift in artificial intelligence infrastructure, where flexibility and predictable access to compute resources are becoming mission critical. With AI workloads increasing at unprecedented rates, organizations are changing their outlook on traditional hyperscale cloud providers and finding alternatives that reduce vendor lock-in, provide the compute that is quickly becoming unavailable, while enhancing cost visibility and performance reliability. The company’s approach, anchored in the design of modular and quickly deployable data centers, offers a compelling solution for this evolving landscape.

BluSky AI is speeding up the rollout of its SkyMod data centers, a next-gen infrastructure platform created mainly for AI workloads. These scalable AI factories are created to deliver high-performance GPU compute using faster deployment timelines in months compared to years with conventional data center builds. By cutting down time-to-market, the company enables startups, enterprises, and academic institutions to access the needed infrastructure without the bottlenecks associated with hyperscale expansion.

The AI workload today requires more than just raw compute power; they demand consistent GPU availability, predictable cost structures, the ability to spin-up or down workloads, and low-latency performance. Hyperscalers, while instrumental to early AI growth, usually present challenges in resource allocation, flexibility, and pricing volatility, especially during periods where demands are high. BluSky AI will solve this issue using a GPU-as-a-Service model, with a desktop view for managing workloads, a unique GFLOPS pricing model to reduce costs, and flexibility giving clients on-demand access to highly functional GPUs while maintaining greater control over how and where workloads are deployed.

BluSky AI operates at the nexus of modular infrastructure design, energy efficiency, and AI-focused cloud services. The company’s SkyMod architecture emphasizes energy optimization and scalability, helping organizations expand capacity in a more cost-efficient and controlled manner. This approach helps align with the increased need for sustainable, high-density compute environments capable of supporting advanced machine learning applications.

By offering infrastructure that supports portability and cuts down dependency on single-provider ecosystems, the company will empower users to customize their AI operations to specific performance, financial, and regulatory requirements.

These developments highlight the company’s broader mission: To become the Neocloud of the future, purpose-built for AI using quickly deployable SkyMod data centers. BluSky AI focuses on delivering scalable AI factories that provide both energy and speed-to-market optimization for partners ranging from startups to academic institutions and large enterprises.

With the increase in the demand for AI infrastructure, the limits of traditional cloud models are becoming more apparent. Companies are no longer satisfied with one-size-fits-all solutions that trade flexibility for convenience. They are instead prioritizing control over their infrastructure stack, ensuring they can scale efficiently while ensuring predictable costs and performance.

To provide a unique peace of mind to data scientists, CFO’s and everyone involved in a company’s AI strategy, BluSky AI is providing a future GPU-as-a-Service Insurance Policy to provide the first right of refusal on dedicated compute resources when their first SkyMod locations go live. BluSky AI has been successful in signing new customers who are either frustrated with their current company or concerned that they will be constrained with GPU access in the future.

• Cancer research often relies on massive and complex datasets, which can take time and effort to sift through manually.
• The proprietary PDAOAI platform from Oncotelic Therapeutics helps with this problem as it was designed to analyze large biomedical datasets to extract meaningful signals and help researchers.
• The company has also curated a detailed TGF-β literature corpus containing 125,000+ PubMed abstracts that represents all of the scientific knowledge related to TGF-β.
• This has now expanded to >20M abstracts representing the totality of scientific literature.

Cancer research is crucial for understanding, diagnosing, treating, and preventing the disease. However, this research often relies on large and complex biomedical datasets, which are often incredibly difficult and time-consuming to go through manually.

Trying to analyze the datasets manually just isn’t feasible in most cases, not only due to the amount of time and effort it would take, but also due to human error and inconsistencies. Thankfully, there are platforms that have been developed that can dramatically speed up and improve this process.

One such example is the PDAOAI platform, which was developed by Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC). PDAOAI is a proprietary evidence-interrogation platform, which is designed to analyze large biomedical datasets and extract meaningful signals from the data.

Instead of training a model to imitate your dataset, it structures, embeds, clusters, and queries large bodies of biomedical knowledge so the dataset can “speak” and yield reproducible, auditable, and testable hypotheses. This ultimately helps to reduce bias and give researchers a more interactive discovery experience.

Oncotelic also curated a comprehensive TGF-β literature corpus that contains more than 125,000 PubMed abstracts, which represents the totality of scientific knowledge related to TGF-β across areas like oncology, immunology, fibrosis, metabolism, and translational therapeutics.

This TGF-β knowledge corpus also supports collaboration between researchers, academics, and other collaborators, as the TGF-β corpus community is hosted on Discord to support discussion and exploration.

Whether in relation to cancer research or not, AI and data platforms are becoming essential in biotech in general. The industry requires the analysis, management, and interpretation of huge amounts of data, which simply cannot be handled manually without the process being incredibly slow and intensive.

Using AI and data platforms may speed up the analysis process, automate some previously-tedious research and/or experiments, and reduce costs. It may also help with identifying potential drug targets, accelerating drug discovery and development, and unify siloed data in less time and with less effort than traditional methods.

About Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC)

Oncotelic Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that’s developing RNA-based immunotherapy, and targeted therapeutics for cancer and other diseases. It aims to transform outcomes for patients with difficult-to-treat conditions, and the company’s strategy focuses on novel compound design, nanoparticle drug delivery, and integrating AI to speed up discovery and regulatory workflows.

• Greenland Energy Company is focused on developing the Jameson Land Basin, which spans more than two million acres and represents a largely undrilled hydrocarbon region.
• The company has identified more than 50 oil and gas leads and prospects through reprocessed seismic data originally collected during prior exploration campaigns.
• The company holds rights to earn up to a 70% interest in three onshore licenses covering the entire basin through a staged drilling program.
• Independent engineering analysis indicates potential upside of approximately 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil, subject to exploration results.
• Historical exploration investment of more than $275 million, and modern seismic reprocessing support the identification of multiple large hydrocarbon targets.

Greenland (NASDAQ: GLND) is an exploration-focused oil and gas company targeting development in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin, a large and historically underexplored hydrocarbon region in the Arctic. The company was formed through the completed business combination of Pelican Acquisition Corporation, Greenland Exploration Limited, and March GL Company, creating a publicly traded platform designed to pursue large-scale resource opportunities.

The company’s vision is to responsibly unlock Greenland’s energy potential, supporting both local development and global energy security through science-driven exploration and innovation.

The company is working to progress exploration across the Jameson Land Basin, which has been studied extensively but remains undrilled, combining historical geological work with modern seismic analysis and planned drilling programs. Its efforts are focused on unlocking the hydrocarbon potential identified through decades of prior research while progressing toward initial well development.

With a technical foundation supported by historical exploration and active operational planning, Greenland Energy is positioning itself to advance one of the largest undrilled onshore basins in the Arctic.

The company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.

Projects

Greenland Energy Company is focused on the exploration and development of oil and gas resources in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin, which includes more than two million acres across three onshore licenses covering the entire petroleum basin.

Greenland Energy is committed to responsible resource development through close collaboration with local communities, strict adherence to Arctic environmental regulations, and the use of technologies designed to reduce exploration impact. The company aims to balance energy advancement with environmental and social integrity.

The basin has been the subject of extensive historical exploration conducted by Atlantic Richfield (“ARCO”) between the 1970s and 1990s, with more than $275 million (inflation adjusted) invested in seismic acquisition, field mapping, and evaluation programs. This work identified multiple large hydrocarbon targets but did not advance to drilling.

Greenland Energy has reprocessed approximately 1,800 kilometers of legacy seismic data using modern imaging technology identifying more than 50 oil and gas leads and prospects. The basin has been described as having geological similarities to major producing regions such as the North Sea and Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay.

The company has secured rights through agreements with 80 Mile and its subsidiary White Flame Energy A/S to earn up to a 70% interest in the basin. These rights are tied to the drilling of two exploration wells designed to delineate the sedimentary structure and resource potential.

Operational planning is underway, including the mobilization of heavy equipment and the preparation of infrastructure to support drilling activities. The company has engaged Halliburton to support logistics planning and drilling services, retained IPT Well Solutions for project management oversight, and engaged Stampede Drilling for drilling operations, alongside additional logistics and service providers.

Market Opportunity

According to company materials, the Arctic region contains approximately 13% of the world’s undiscovered conventional oil resources, representing about 90 billion barrels, and 30% of its undiscovered conventional natural gas resources.

Within this broader context, the Jameson Land Basin represents a large, historically underexplored region with identified hydrocarbon potential. Independent engineering analysis from Sproule ERCE indicates upside of approximately 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil within the basin, subject to exploration and development outcomes.

Leadership Team

Robert Price, Chief Executive Officer, has assembled and managed companies across the energy, real estate, and manufacturing sectors and founded Brooks Energy Company in 1991. He previously served as Vice President, Trust Officer, and Oil and Gas Trust Energy Department Manager at the First National Bank and Trust Company of Tulsa, now J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, and has overseen the reprocessing of approximately 1,800 kilometers of seismic data from the Jameson Land Basin.

Larry G. Swets Jr., Executive Chairman, has been involved in advancing the development of energy resources in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin through Greenland Exploration Limited and its combination with March GL Company and Pelican Acquisition Corporation.

• Strong revenue growth for digital mortgage platform provider Beeline Holdings is encouraging for 2026, with net revenue for Q4 2025 rising 127% year over year, and mortgage originations increasing 44% to $84.7 million during the quarter.
• Unit economics also improved, with revenue per loan rising 31% while cost per loan declined 18%.
• Beeline ended 2025 debt-free, strengthening its balance sheet ahead of expansion, as the company launched its new BeelineEquity platform introducing blockchain-recorded fractional home-equity transactions.
• Management expects revenue growth to accelerate in 2026 as digital automation and new fee-based products scale.

Beeline Holdings (NASDAQ: BLNE), a fast-growing digital mortgage platform offering a quicker and easier path to homeownership, is eyeing sustained growth in 2026 with improved financial momentum and an expanding digital mortgage platform, following a fourth-quarter performance that highlighted accelerating revenue growth and strengthening loan-level economics.

The company reported fourth-quarter net revenue of $2.5 million, a 127% increase from the same period a year earlier and an 8.3% increase sequentially. Mortgage origination volume reached $84.7 million, up 44% year over year. The results were discussed during a March 30 conference call reviewing the company’s performance and outlook for the coming year (https://ibn.fm/7qO9v).

Management framed 2025 as a transition year in which the company completed several structural changes intended to support longer-term growth. These included becoming a publicly traded company, eliminating corporate debt and expanding the firm’s technology infrastructure.

Chief executive officer Nick Liuzza said those changes have positioned the platform for expansion. The company believes its digital infrastructure allows originations and transaction volumes to grow without proportional increases in operating costs.

Operational metrics appear to support that thesis. According to management, average revenue per loan rose 31% during the quarter while average cost per loan declined 18%. The company also shortened several steps in its lending workflow, including reducing lead-to-application time and improving lock-to-close conversion rates.

Those improvements reflect the company’s strategy of automating parts of the mortgage process using artificial intelligence and workflow software integrated into its platform at Beeline. The company says these tools allow borrower qualification decisions to be made within minutes and help shorten the closing timeline for loans to roughly two to three weeks. Traditional mortgage closings often take substantially longer.

Beeline’s lending platform focuses on borrowers who often fall outside traditional underwriting models, including self-employed workers, gig-economy earners and younger borrowers entering the housing market. Demographic trends suggest this segment may represent a growing portion of mortgage demand. According to analysis cited by National Mortgage Professional (https://ibn.fm/vRwKO), only 26.1% of Gen Z adults and 54.9% of millennials owned homes in 2024, reflecting barriers to mortgage qualification and affordability.

Beeline’s automated underwriting tools are designed to evaluate alternative income patterns more quickly, potentially expanding access to mortgage financing for those groups.

Management also noted growing demand from younger real-estate investors purchasing rental properties. Loans tied to investment properties have become an increasingly important component of origination volume as younger buyers seek additional income streams through property ownership.

Beyond the company’s core mortgage business, Beeline introduced a new product in the fourth quarter aimed at tapping the large pool of home equity held by U.S. homeowners. The company launched BeelineEquity, a platform that allows homeowners to access a portion of their property equity without refinancing or taking on traditional debt. Instead, homeowners can sell a fractional interest in their property while retaining occupancy and ownership rights.

Initial transactions on the platform were completed during the quarter and recorded using blockchain infrastructure. Management views the offering as a potential fee-based revenue stream that complements the company’s mortgage operations.

Unlike mortgage lending, which depends on interest spreads and loan sales, BeelineEquity generates revenue primarily through transaction fees. The company estimates it earns roughly 3.5% per transaction while providing services such as customer acquisition, property analysis, title settlement and compliance. Executives argue that structure may provide a capital-lighter business model relative to traditional mortgage lending. 

The company believes the opportunity is significant. U.S. homeowners collectively hold tens of trillions of dollars in home equity, much of which remains illiquid unless a homeowner refinances or sells the property. By providing a mechanism for fractional equity transactions, Beeline aims to access that pool while expanding its role across the housing finance ecosystem.

Chief financial officer Chris Moe noted that Beeline finished 2025 without corporate debt, aside from warehouse lending facilities used to fund mortgage originations. Warehouse capacity expanded during the year, providing additional funding for loan growth.

Looking ahead, executives outlined three strategic priorities for 2026: expanding the core mortgage platform, scaling the BeelineEquity product and increasing the role of artificial intelligence across the company’s lending and software systems. The company is also exploring additional software-as-a-service capabilities within its technology stack, potentially opening new recurring revenue opportunities.

“We are now positioned at the intersection of three large and growing markets: digital mortgage origination, AI-driven financial infrastructure, and fractionalized real estate ownership,” Liuzza said. “We are driving improvements in originations, closings, and revenue per loan, while simultaneously improving efficiency, scaling the business with modest increases in headcount to position us for future profitability. We have a clear and increasingly diversified pathway to achieving a $100 million run rate over the next couple of years.”

Disseminated on behalf of LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF)and may include paid advertising.

• LaFleur Minerals is a junior Canadian near-term gold producer preparing to restart its 100%-owned gold mill to process material from its nearby gold project in the prolific Abitibi gold mining region of eastern Canada
• LaFleur released a report last month on the results of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) that supports the company’s financial strategy and provides guidance as it anticipates near-term operational profits
• The company has filed an independent technical report prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, following on the PEA’s findings and additional reports that outline the company’s assets
• LaFleur anticipates a low-CapEx project with robust economics based on the PEA results, current gold market, established mill infrastructure and wealth of historical exploration work, including 18,000 metres of drilling at Swanson in 2025, a project that expanded to 19,214 hectares (47,479 acres)

LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) recently issued a report sustaining the results of its Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”), which the company announced earlier in March as part of its buildup toward a production restart at its Beacon Gold Mill in the prolific Abitibi Gold Belt of eastern Canada. 

The mill will receive material for processing from LaFleur’s nearby Swanson Gold Deposit, key components in the company’s affirmation that its strategic acquisition of assets during the past couple of years represents an exciting opportunity for its shareholders, even at a time when market prices are fluctuating. 

LaFleur announced the results of the positive PEA on March 3 that underscores the potential of Swanson and Beacon to evolve into a competitive and short-term gold development project, providing guidance to the company on its financial position as the project moves forward (https://ibn.fm/0TFn9).

The company’s latest news release on March 27 announcing that it has filed an independent technical report, “prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”, sustains the prior report on the PEA, supports restarting gold production, and contains “no material differences between the key results, assumptions, and estimates” contained in it, the company announced, while providing an overview of the project and highlighting select elements of the PEA (https://ibn.fm/Ru2r0).

The PEA itself can be accessed at https://ibn.fm/pktPm.

“The filing of our PEA technical report marks a significant milestone for LaFleur Minerals as we advance toward near-term gold production,” LaFleur CEO and Director Paul Ténière stated. “With key infrastructure in place and funding secured for mill restart and recommissioning, we believe the company is well positioned to transition into a gold producer and generate near-term revenue, with additional scalability and operational flexibility that differentiate us from many junior developers.”

The Beacon Gold Mill was formerly owned by Monarch Mining, which refurbished the mill for about $20 million four years ago before finding it necessary to sell its assets amid a bankruptcy filing two years ago. LaFleur obtained the mill at bargain pricing and expects to resume operations at the 100%-owned processing site this spring thanks to recent financing efforts.

Under a base case scenario of US$2,750 per ounce gold and with All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) of US$1,569 per ounce gold for processing, the company anticipates cost-effective development and profitability in a market that prices the precious metal above US$4,500 per ounce, with a targeted mill throughput of approximately 1,250 tonnes per day (“tpd”) following certain upgrades demonstrating strong economics with a 65% after-tax IRR and C$101 million NPV (5%), which is more than its expected startup of 750 tpd but less ambitious than the company’s expected expansion to 3,000 to 4,000 tpd in the longer term (refer to the company’s PEA NI43-101 Technical Report dated March 16, 2026).

“With this being such a low-cost operation, we don’t anticipate any issues there at all,” Ténière said during a March 24 webinar with investors.

LaFleur also announced the appointment of Paul Ténière, Peter Espig, and Jeff Swinoga to its board of directors, strengthening expertise in mining, capital markets and corporate leadership as the company advances its Québec gold projects.

Qualified Person Statement:

All scientific and technical information contained in this article has been reviewed and approved by Louis Martin, P.Geo. (OGQ), Exploration Manager and Technical Advisor of the company and considered a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101.

• TIM-E autonomous robot is now deployed at a Homewood Suites in Del Mar, California, supporting real-time back-of-house hotel operations around the clock
• The system integrates with elevators and facility access points to operate continuously across multiple floors without human intervention
• TechForce’s Robotics-as-a-Service Provider model allows hospitality operators to adopt automation without significant upfront capital investment, lowering the barrier to deployment at scale

Everyone talks about the robotics revolution as if it is still approaching. At a Homewood Suites in Del Mar, California, it already showed up for work. The debate about whether autonomous systems can function as genuine operational infrastructure inside real hospitality environments is no longer theoretical. Nightfood Holdings Inc., operating as TechForce Robotics (OTCQB: NGTF), just answered it with a deployment, not a demo.

Already on the Floor

In February 2026, TechForce announced the successful installation of its TIM-E (Things in Motion – Everywhere) autonomous service robot at the Homewood Suites in Del Mar, California. Deployed through the company’s Robotics-as-a-Service Provider model, TIM-E is now actively supporting daily back-of-house operations, handling automated transport and linen movement across the property every single day.

This is not a pilot program. It is not a press release without a product behind it. TIM-E is operational, it is working, and it is doing it inside one of the most operationally demanding environments a robot can enter: a functioning hotel with real guests, real staff, and real consequences for failure.

Where the Work Is

The detail that separates TIM-E from a novelty is where it can go. The system features autonomous navigation and real-time obstacle avoidance, but its true operational value comes from its integration with elevators and facility access points, allowing it to move across multiple floors without any human assistance.

That matters more than it might sound. A robot that cannot leave the lobby is a conversation piece. A robot that can call an elevator, move between floors, navigate around staff and guests, and return to its task without interruption is infrastructure. TIM-E operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which means it is not supplementing a shift. It is filling one permanently.

As President Ried Floco put it: “With TIM-E operating 24 hours per day and seven days per week, hospitality staff can focus more time on guest service and experience.” That is the point. Automation handles the repetitive. People handle the human.

The Model That Makes It Work

Technology only transforms an industry if operators can adopt it. TechForce’s Robotics-as-a-Service Provider structure exists specifically to solve that problem. Rather than asking hospitality operators to make large capital commitments upfront, the RaaSP model delivers robotic capability as a service, lowering the financial barrier and aligning TechForce’s revenue with long-term operator relationships.

For a hotel manager weighing tight margins against staffing challenges, that distinction is the difference between a conversation and a contract. The model also creates a recurring revenue engine for TechForce, one that grows as deployments expand across properties and operational use cases deepen within existing accounts.

Built to Expand

TIM-E’s modular design allows a single platform to support multiple operational functions within the same environment. In hospitality, where back-of-house workflows span linen logistics, material transport, and internal supply movement, that flexibility means a property can grow the robot’s role over time without adding hardware. It also means TechForce can deepen its value inside each account as the relationship matures.

The company’s platform is vertically integrated, combining robotics development, real-world deployment, and operational feedback into a system that improves with scale. Every deployment generates insight. Every insight makes the next deployment more effective.

The Question Is No Longer Whether

The hospitality industry has spent years discussing whether autonomous systems could realistically handle the demands of live operational environments. The Del Mar deployment does not just suggest the answer. It demonstrates it.

TechForce Robotics is not waiting for the market to catch up with technology. It is putting robots to work in real properties, building a replicable model, and establishing the kind of operational track record that drives the next deployment, and the one after that.

The future of hospitality operations arrived quietly, took the elevator, and got to work.

• American Fusion(TM) Inc. is increasing its presence at technical and energy-infrastructure conferences as it advances its fusion development strategy.
• Company representatives attended both the Applied Power Electronics Conference and the International Workshop on Anomalies in Hydrogen Loaded Metals.
• The company’s subsidiary, Kepler Fusion Technologies, is developing the unique Texatron(TM) fusion system designed for modular power generation.
• The company recently appointed Michael Carlson as Chief Financial Officer to guide capital markets strategy and financial operations.
• The firm is exploring “behind-the-meter” energy deployment strategies to simplify early commercialization.

American Fusion (OTC: AMFN), an advanced energy platform company focused on the development and commercialization of an advanced fusion energy technology, recently highlighted its participation in multiple industry events as part of a broader effort to remain connected to technical research and power-system engineering developments (https://ibn.fm/5C8bp). In March, company representatives attended two international technical gatherings.

A representative from the firm participated in the 17th International Workshop on Anomalies in Hydrogen Loaded Metals, a research conference held in Bergamo, Italy on March 24-26. The event took place at the Kilometro Rosso Science and Technology Park, a technology campus near Milan that hosts research organizations and engineering companies.

The workshop brings together scientists and engineers studying hydrogen-metal systems and related phenomena. Topics include experimental heat production, plasma systems, instrumentation, and computational modeling. Such events serve as forums for researchers to exchange experimental results and discuss emerging approaches in advanced materials and energy research.

At the same time, five members of American Fusion’s(TM) executive team attended the Applied Power Electronics Conference in San Antonio, Texas, on March 22-26. The conference focused on practical applications of power electronics, grid infrastructure, and high-efficiency energy systems.

For a company developing future power-generation technology, participation in these forums provides access to engineers, system designers, and component manufacturers who shape the broader energy ecosystem.

Management says these engagements are intended to help monitor adjacent technological developments and build relationships relevant to future deployment of fusion-based energy systems.

Alongside its technical outreach, American Fusion(TM) has also expanded its executive leadership. The company recently appointed Michael Carlson as Chief Financial Officer, a move aimed at strengthening capital markets strategy as the company advances its development plans (https://ibn.fm/q1vkk).

Carlson brings more than three decades of experience in corporate finance and advisory work. Most recently, he served as CFO of Budapest Airport, where he oversaw a capital structure exceeding €1.5 billion and managed a €795 million refinancing transaction in 2023.

Earlier in his career, Carlson spent over 30 years at KPMG, where he became an audit partner and later led financial advisory services in Hungary. His work included advising multinational organizations on corporate finance, restructuring, valuation, and mergers and acquisitions. Carlson holds an MBA from Purdue University and is a Chartered Professional Accountant in Canada.

Company leadership says the appointment reflects the need for financial discipline and capital-markets expertise as the company pursues large-scale infrastructure development.

“Michael brings a level of financial discipline and capital markets experience that is important as we continue building the company’s institutional foundation,” said CEO Richard Hawkins. “His background in complex financing environments and governance will support our transition as we scale and engage more broadly with investors and strategic partners.”

American Fusion’s(TM) technology development is centered on the Texatron(TM) system being designed by Kepler Fusion Technologies. The Texatron(TM) concept uses a pulsed torsatron configuration intended to generate plasma capable of supporting aneutronic fusion reactions using deuterium and helium-3 fuel. The approach remains under development, consistent with the broader state of the fusion sector.

Fusion energy has long been pursued as a potential large-scale power source because it uses abundant fuels and produces minimal long-lived radioactive waste compared with conventional nuclear power. However, commercial systems remain under development, and companies across the sector are working toward practical reactor designs that could support future energy demand. 

While the company has reported successful plasma formation during testing, commercial fusion power generation has not yet been demonstrated. Nevertheless, management is pursuing an accelerated development roadmap. According to Kepler CEO Brent Nelson, the company aims to begin delivering electricity in early deployment scenarios once initial reactor units are operational.

The firm’s commercialization plan is built around modular reactors. American Fusion(TM) is currently developing nine Texatron(TM) reactor models and constructing two initial designs: a five-megawatt system intended as a demonstration platform and a larger 100-megawatt unit designed to test commercial viability.

The 100-megawatt configuration is expected to form the foundation of the company’s scaling strategy. Multiple units could be combined to reach utility-scale capacity. Ten such reactors, for example, would equal roughly one gigawatt of generation capacity.

Instead of immediately connecting reactors to major public electricity grids, the company plans to deploy early units “behind the meter,” meaning directly at a customer’s facility. This approach allows industrial customers to generate electricity on site while avoiding some of the regulatory hurdles associated with grid interconnection.

Disseminated on behalf of  Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) and may include paid advertising.

• World Gold Council research notes that the addition of gold can materially improve a portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns.
• Lahontan’s potential appeal is its ability to offer investors exposure not just to the gold price but to an advancing Nevada development story in one of the world’s most established mining belts.
• Recent company activity suggests Lahontan is continuing to advance its development strategy at Santa Fe.

Gold’s latest pullback has done little to weaken the deeper investment case for the yellow metal. As recent commentary observes, gold’s importance lies not only in price momentum but in its unusual utility as a store of value, a reserve asset and a portfolio stabilizer during periods of geopolitical and macroeconomic stress. That context helps frame the story for Lahontan Gold (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF), a Canadian mine development and mineral exploration company advancing four gold and silver properties in Nevada’s Walker Lane, led by its Santa Fe Mine project.

A recent GoldSeek report observes that gold does not behave like most commodities because it is rarely consumed. “Almost all the gold ever mined still exists somewhere in the world,” the article states, which makes gold fundamentally different from oil, copper or agricultural commodities that are used up in the ordinary course of economic activity.

The World Gold Council makes the same point in its own March 2026 analysis, stating that total above-ground gold amounts to about 219,891 tonnes and that, because gold is virtually indestructible, almost all of it remains available to return to the market under the right conditions. For investors, that distinction matters because gold’s value proposition is tied less to immediate industrial depletion and more to confidence, reserve management and capital preservation.

GoldSeek also makes the case that gold’s real utility is financial rather than productive, noting that gold is “not someone else’s liability.” This point helps explain why central banks keep holding and buying precious metal, even though it generates no yield. The article goes on to describe gold as a “stabilizing” asset in reserve portfolios.

That view is broadly consistent with current World Gold Council research, which says the addition of gold can materially improve a portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns, and with World Gold Council data showing that central banks continued to add gold in 2025, including 230 tonnes in the fourth quarter alone. The message for investors is that gold’s role in the global system is not disappearing; it is being reaffirmed by official-sector demand and by its continuing function as diversification against monetary, fiscal and geopolitical risk.

A March 2026 Kitco analysis adds an important near-term market dimension. Kitco described gold as being caught in a “short-term tug-of-war,” with prices testing support near $5,000 an ounce as markets weighed slowing growth and persistent inflation. That framing is valuable because it separates short-term sentiment from longer-term structure.

In other words, a setback in gold does not necessarily invalidate the bull case; it can instead reflect shifting expectations around yields, growth and inflation before the broader strategic case reasserts itself. For investors, this distinction is critical, because gold equities often become most interesting when the commodity’s long-run setup remains intact even as short-run price action creates hesitation.

With this in mind, Lahontan’s potential appeal is its ability to offer investors exposure not just to the gold price, but to an advancing Nevada development story in one of the world’s most established mining belts. Lahontan holds four top-tier gold and silver exploration properties in Nevada’s Walker Lane. Its flagship Santa Fe Mine project covers 28.3 square kilometers and historically produced 356,000 ounces of gold and 784,000 ounces of silver from open-pit, heap-leach operations between 1988 and 1995.

The company also reports a Canadian National Instrument 43-101 compliant indicated mineral resource of 1.539 million ounces of gold equivalent and an inferred resource of 411,000 ounces of gold equivalent at Santa Fe. Those figures place Lahontan in a category that many investors watch closely: a junior developer with an existing resource base, past-producing ground and a path toward further expansion.

The project economics disclosed by Lahontan strengthens that position. The company reports that the December 2024 preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for Santa Fe outlined a pre-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate of $265.1 million and a 41% internal rate of return, with an after-tax net present value of $200 million and a 34.2% internal rate of return using a $2,705 per ounce gold price.

Even allowing for the preliminary nature of a PEA, those numbers offer investors a concrete framework for understanding how a higher gold-price environment could amplify project value. This is one reason recent commentary observes that Santa Fe “could resume production toward the end of the decade,” highlighting the project’s existing infrastructure and development profile.

Recent company activity suggests Lahontan is continuing to advance its development strategy at Santa Fe. In March 2026, the company announced that it had mobilized a second drill rig to the project as part of an expanded exploration and development program, while also outlining plans to update the Santa Fe mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment. Earlier this year, Lahontan also reported encouraging drill results from the West Santa Fe area, including 37 meters grading 3.11 g/t gold equivalent from surface, with higher-grade intervals such as 11 meters grading 5.75 g/t gold equivalent.

As recent analysis suggests, gold’s investment case is broader than any single price swing. Gold remains unusual because it is durable, widely held, central-bank relevant and capable of reasserting itself when macro conditions deteriorate. With four Nevada properties and an advancing Santa Fe project, Lahontan Gold Corp may give investors a way to participate in that thesis through a company that is working to convert gold’s strategic appeal into project-level value creation.

Disseminated on behalf of MindBio Therapeutics Corp. (CSE: MBIO) (OTCQB: MBQIF)and may include paid advertising.

• The company has appointed Chilean drug policy specialist Felipe Leyton to lead commercialization in South America’s mining industry.
• The company is preparing to deploy its voice-based AI drug and alcohol impairment detection platform in industrial environments beginning in 2026, with Chile’s mining sector, employing more than 200,000 workers, representing an early target market.
• MindBio’s technology analyzes voice patterns to detect intoxication or impairment without biological testing, and management is positioning the platform as a scalable tool for workplace safety in mining and other high-risk industries.
• The company also recently closed an upsized non-brokered private placement of up to $1.5 million to support commercialization activities.

MindBio Therapeutics (CSE: MBIO) (OTCQB: MBQIF), a biotechnology innovator commercializing AI-powered voice analytics for real-time drug and alcohol impairment detection, is moving toward commercial deployment of its voice-based artificial intelligence platform for detecting drug and alcohol impairment, with a focus on industrial safety applications in South America’s mining sector.

The biotechnology company recently appointed Chilean policy specialist Felipe Leyton to lead commercialization efforts in the region, a move that signals MindBio’s transition from technology development to field implementation in large enterprise environments (https://ibn.fm/pOUPF).

Leyton brings experience in national drug policy and workplace safety, having helped design and implement Chile’s “Zero Tolerance” alcohol-impaired driving law as part of the country’s alcohol prevention framework. He also played a role in establishing Chile’s roadside drug testing program introduced in 2019. His appointment reflects MindBio’s strategy of aligning technical development with regulatory and industry expertise in markets where impairment detection is closely tied to workplace safety and compliance requirements.

Leyton currently advises major mining operators and government agencies through consulting firm TConsulting, where he focuses on prevention strategies, regulatory compliance and occupational health programs. Under his engagement with MindBio, he will oversee the development of testing protocols tailored for mining operations and coordinate early deployment of the company’s technology in active industrial environments.

MindBio’s platform uses acoustic biomarker analysis to detect signs of intoxication through voice patterns. The system evaluates more than 140 parameters extracted from speech and processes those signals through machine learning models trained on tens of millions of data points. The result is a prediction model designed to estimate alcohol impairment and identify potential drug intoxication in real time without the need for blood, urine or breath samples.

The company is preparing to integrate this technology into a dedicated Edge AI hardware platform intended for deployment at worksites. The system will operate through voice-initiated kiosk terminals that can perform rapid screening of workers entering industrial facilities.

According to MindBio, prototype development of the kiosk-based hardware system is nearing completion, with field testing expected to begin during the second quarter of 2026. The platform is designed to deliver rapid screening results on site while reducing operational delays often associated with conventional biological testing.

Industrial safety is a significant concern in mining operations, particularly in regions where large workforces operate heavy machinery in remote environments. Data cited by MindBio suggests that alcohol consumption among mining workers in Chile exceeds 75%, with roughly 40% categorized as problem drinkers and approximately 9% reporting drug use. These figures point to a broader challenge faced by industrial employers seeking to reduce workplace accidents linked to impairment. Global research has estimated that between 20% and 25% of occupational accidents are directly or indirectly associated with substance use.

In this context, technologies capable of rapidly screening large numbers of workers could have operational and regulatory relevance for companies managing high-risk industrial sites. MindBio’s enterprise strategy centers on providing scalable screening systems that can be deployed at entry points to industrial facilities. The company believes voice analysis can reduce the friction associated with traditional testing methods, which often require biological samples and specialized laboratory processing. By contrast, voice analysis requires only a short spoken input, allowing results to be generated in seconds.

The company’s technology is supported by a large clinical dataset generated through several years of research. According to MindBio, the AI prediction model has been trained on more than 50 million data points derived from speech analysis and controlled studies measuring alcohol intoxication levels. Early testing has demonstrated accuracy rates exceeding 85% for blood alcohol concentration prediction and roughly 88% for intoxication classification.

Beyond mining, MindBio is developing applications for aviation, construction and other safety-critical industries where impairment detection is required by regulatory frameworks or company policy.

The company also operates a consumer-facing product called Booze AI, which enables individuals to estimate their blood alcohol concentration using voice input through a smartphone or web interface. This dual strategy, consumer applications alongside enterprise deployment, provides multiple potential commercialization pathways.

To support these initiatives, MindBio recently expanded a previously announced financing round (https://ibn.fm/GKqOk). The company recently closed a non-brokered private placement that had been upsized from $650,000 to up to $1.5 million. The offering consisted of units priced at $0.60, each including one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.80 for up to 36 months following closing. Proceeds are expected to support engineering development, field deployment activities and commercialization initiatives, including expansion into South American mining operations.
