Renewal Fuels (OTC: RNWF) (d/b/a American Fusion), an advanced energy platform company focused on the development and commercialization of fusion energy technologies, is expanding its intellectual property portfolio and leadership team as it pursues the development and commercialization of its Texatron(TM) fusion energy platform.

The Texas-based company recently announced the filing of eight additional patent applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office related to the Texatron reactor architecture (https://ibn.fm/WRGDr). The new applications cover several technical components of the reactor system, including toroidal chamber designs, clamshell housing structures, electromagnetic confinement elements, and electronic control systems that regulate pulsed energy inputs.

Management said the filings expand the intellectual property framework supporting the Texatron architecture, which is being developed as a modular fusion system intended for eventual industrial and grid applications.

The patent expansion forms part of a broader strategy to secure layered protection across several aspects of the technology. According to the company, the intellectual property approach targets multiple areas, including reactor geometry, electromagnetic confinement methods, fuel cycle management, and integrated system design. These protections are intended to evolve alongside engineering development and eventual commercial deployment.

Brent Nelson, chief executive of Kepler Fusion Technologies, said the patent portfolio is being built to align with ongoing design refinements. “Our intellectual property strategy is being built deliberately around the core architecture of the Texatron system,” Nelson said in the company update. Each patent filing is intended to protect structural and system-level elements of the reactor design while supporting future commercialization options. “As development progresses, we expect the portfolio to continue expanding in parallel with ongoing engineering refinement and validation,” Nelson added. 

The company previously disclosed that twenty patent applications had already been filed covering key structural and electromagnetic aspects of the Texatron platform. The additional filings bring the portfolio further along as development work continues.

Alongside the patent update, the company announced two senior appointments aimed at strengthening governance and commercialization capabilities.

The first is the appointment of Andrew S. Mikulski as an independent member of the board of directors. Mikulski, an electrical engineer with experience in power electronics and advanced electrical systems, joined the board effective March 6, 2026.

He currently serves as product manager for magnetics, sensors and actuators at KEMET Electronics Corporation, a subsidiary of Yageo Corporation. In that role, he oversees electromagnetic component technologies used in power conversion systems, industrial automation platforms, and sensing applications. Earlier in his career, Mikulski worked as an electrical engineer at Textron Systems, where he contributed to testing and integration work on defense technology platforms. He also serves as co-chair of the Power Sources Manufacturers Association capacitor committee, where he participates in technical collaboration and industry standards development.

Company leadership said his background in electrical system architecture and high-reliability engineering will provide technical oversight at the board level as the Texatron platform advances. 

Richard Hawkins, chief executive of Renewal Fuels, said the appointment strengthens the board’s technical perspective as the company develops its fusion system. “Andrew brings a strong engineering foundation and practical experience working with complex electrical systems used in demanding environments such as aerospace, defense, and industrial infrastructure,” Hawkins said. “As the company continues advancing the Texatron platform, having board level oversight from individuals who understand power electronics, system architecture, and engineering commercialization adds meaningful depth to the company’s governance and technical perspective.”

The company also moved to expand its commercial leadership by appointing Sebastian E. Hoyos as Chief Revenue Officer (https://ibn.fm/T4eE2). Hoyos brings more than fifteen years of experience structuring bankable commercial energy agreements across regulated and deregulated electricity markets. His work has focused on developing long-term power purchase agreements and energy supply contracts with corporate and institutional energy buyers.

Prior to joining American Fusion, Hoyos served as head of renewable energy solutions at Diverxia, where he led corporate energy origination efforts and negotiated power offtake agreements. Earlier roles included heading renewable energy strategy for the Americas at ENGIE Impact and managing a large portfolio of renewable energy contracts during his tenure at Walmart. At Walmart he oversaw more than four hundred energy agreements covering solar, wind, storage, fuel cells, and electric vehicle infrastructure projects.

The company said Hoyos will lead the commercialization strategy for the Texatron technology platform, including the development of energy partnerships and long-term contract structures. This commercial planning is intended to position the company for revenue opportunities prior to full technology deployment.

Management indicated that much of the administrative groundwork following the merger between Renewal Fuels and Kepler Fusion Technologies has been completed, allowing the company to shift greater focus toward product development and commercial strategy.

“Sebastian’s experience negotiating power purchase agreements and working across both regulated and deregulated energy markets provides valuable commercial expertise as we continue developing the Texatron platform,” Nelson said. “With much of our first quarter groundwork now behind us, we are keen to focus on uplisting to a listed exchange and are laser focused on building fundamental value and revenue in the company to enhance shareholder value.”

Hoyos underlined that the Texatron represents a paradigm shift in technology that only happens once in someone’s lifetime. “I truly believe this is the greatest invention since man harnessed fire. Fusion energy has the potential to redefine how the world produces and consumes power, and I look forward to building the revenue platform that will help bring this breakthrough technology to customers across the globe,” Hoyos added.

Disseminated on behalf of Canamera Energy Metals Corp. (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) and may include paid advertising.

• Canamera Energy Metals recently confirmed elevated rare earth oxide values at its Iron Hills Project in Colorado, including assays up to 6,557 ppm TREO.
• EMETF operates at the nexus of critical minerals exploration, secure jurisdictions, and diversified project development.
• These updates underscore the company’s broader mission: building a multi-asset rare earths platform aligned with global supply chain realignment.

Canamera Energy Metals (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) is consolidating its efforts to execute its strategy of advancing a diverse portfolio of rare earth and critical metals projects across select geopolitically stable regions. Exploration updates from South and North America underscore the firm’s dual-pronged approach: the systematic advancement of priority assets toward resource definition and early-stage discovery, backed by strategic technical validation.

At the company’s Iron Hills Project in Gunnison County, Colorado, Canamera recently reported over-limit re-assay results that show high rare earth concentrations from its initial prospecting program. Follow-up sodium peroxide fusion analysis indicates a total rare earth oxide value of 6,557, including 2,336 ppm neodymium, a vital magnet rare earth element. Further samples showed heavy rare earth oxide values as much as 2,841, resulting from increased yttrium content (ibn.fm/8xYTX).

Six samples from the initial prospecting have so far returned TREO values more than 3,000 ppm. The frequency, strength, and elemental diversity of the results show a fertile rare earth system. The company’s management has highlighted that these results will help with follow-up work, including expanded sampling and the evaluation of airborne radiometric, magnetic, and electromagnetic surveys to better define mineralization controls.

Iron Hills is a vital American-based asset, especially at a time when domestic sources of rare earth metals are gaining traction. With the increased demand for wind energy, electric vehicles, and advanced electronics creating more need for magnet metals like neodymium, projects located in jurisdictions like Colorado come with strategic relevance.

In addition to this early-stage success, the company is also making significant progress through its Turvolândia rare earth project in Brazil, where Canamera is carrying out a maiden drill program. The first phase of drilling, comprising about 1,000 meters, will test the continuity and thickness of near-surface iconic clay-hosted rare earth mineralization across three core areas. This has attracted attention globally because of its potential for lower-cost extraction compared to what is obtainable with conventional hard-rock rare earth deposits (ibn.fm/aotFi).

Turvolândia is located close to the Poços de Caldas alkaline complex, an area quickly emerging as one of Brazil’s most prospective ionic clay rare earth districts. Early-stage drilling focuses on shallow auger holes aimed at weathered clay profiles developed over rare earth-enriched rocks, which are comparable to ion adsorption clay deposits that underpin much of the Chinese rare earth production.

The Turvolândia and Iron Hills updates highlight Canamera’s broader exploration thesis: identifying underexplored, district-scale opportunities spread across the Americas and promoting them using data-driven, methodical programs. The company’s operational portfolio also includes uranium and niobium projects in Wyoming, Ontario, and British Columbia, providing a diversified exposure across commodities and jurisdictions.

• LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings and Liora Technologies recently joined forces to soon offer a real fight against cancer.
• LIXTE develops LB-100, a drug that enhances the effectiveness of cancer treatments, while Liora has developed a unique cancer treatment that’s believed to be more affordable, precise, and efficient than many traditional options.
• Together, this pair of products have incredible clinical and commercial potential, to both help the businesses succeed, while also offering better outcomes for patients suffering from cancer.

LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, and the company’s subsidiary, Liora Technologies, both develop cancer therapies that, when combined, have the potential to improve outcomes and results for cancer patients.

LIXTE’s flagship product and lead clinical candidate is LB-100, which is a proprietary small-molecule inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (“PP2A”). Designed to enhance the activity of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, the compound has developed a favorable safety profile in Phase 1 clinical trials and is supported by more than 25 published preclinical and translational studies.

The compound is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical programs that are targeting solid tumors with limited treatment options.

On the other hand, Liora Technologies develops the Linac for Image Guided Hadron Therapy (“LiGHT”) System. This system is a controlled proton therapy platform that offers many benefits over the other proton therapy methods currently available.

It can be deployed rapidly, is much smaller in size than other options, and is cheaper to build and use. The LiGHT System also works more efficiently as it reduces proton loss, allows for much more precise dosing, and allows you to change energy levels in milliseconds, not seconds. Also, the system controls beams electronically, which eliminates the needs for mechanical energy degraders, which often waste a ton of proton energy.

As you could imagine, there’s plenty of synergy between the two products – as the LB-100 enhances cancer therapies by making cancer cells more vulnerable, it takes an already efficient and powerful LiGHT system and makes it even more effective at fighting cancer. In addition to making cancer cells more susceptible to proton therapy and other types of radiation, LB-100 also stops them from being able to effectively recover after being damaged by the radiation.

This synergy not only helps deliver better outcomes for cancer patients, but also the businesses themselves. There aren’t many solutions out there in proton therapy like the LiGHT system, and the platform is a perfect match with LB-100. The combination could potentially be of great use clinically, which in turn boosts the commercial potential of the pairing, as well.

• Pelican Acquisition Corp. is pursuing a business combination with Greenland Exploration Limited and March GL Company that is expected to close on March 17, 2026, and create a publicly traded energy company named Greenland Energy Company.
• The proposed company is focused on exploration and development in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin, where March GL may earn up to a 70% interest in more than 2 million acres of onshore licenses.
• Historic exploration conducted by Atlantic Richfield collected approximately 1,800 kilometers of seismic data that has since been reprocessed using modern imaging technology.
• Early geological models suggest the basin could contain more than 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil if exploration results confirm the resource potential.
• The Arctic region is estimated by the U.S. Geological Survey to contain approximately 13% of the world’s undiscovered conventional oil resources and 30% of its undiscovered conventional natural gas resources.

Pelican Acquisition (NASDAQ: PELI) is a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

Pelican has entered into a proposed business combination with Greenland Exploration Limited and March GL Company that is expected to close on March 17, 2026, and result in the creation of Greenland Energy Company, a publicly traded entity focused on the development of energy resources in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin.

On February 24, 2026, Pelican announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had declared effective the company’s registration statement on Form S-4 in connection with the proposed transaction, and Pelican scheduled a shareholder meeting to vote on the business combination.

Greenland Energy Company

Greenland Energy Company is expected to be formed through the business combination of Pelican Acquisition Corp., Greenland Exploration Limited and March GL Company to pursue oil and gas exploration in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin, one of the last highly prospective yet largely undrilled basins globally, with a scale comparable to many of the world’s major producing regions.

Greenland Exploration Limited

Greenland Exploration Limited is a Texas-based entity focused on developing strategic positions in North American energy assets. Through its partnerships and future acquisitions, the company seeks to deliver long-term shareholder value in a dynamic and evolving energy market.

March GL Company

March GL Company is a privately owned Texas corporation that entered into an agreement with 80 Mile to begin drilling in the Jameson oil and gas basin in Greenland. The company will fund 100% of the costs associated with up to two exploration wells designed to delineate the sedimentary structure and energy potential of the basin.

Through its agreement with 80 Mile and its subsidiary White Flame Energy A/S, March GL may earn up to a 70% interest in three onshore licenses covering more than 2 million acres across the Jameson Land Basin. March GL will also serve as Field Operations Manager for the project.

Market Opportunity

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the Arctic holds an estimated 13% of the world’s undiscovered conventional oil resources, or approximately 90 billion barrels, and 30% of its undiscovered conventional natural gas resources. The commercial development of these resources has historically been limited by the difficulty and cost associated with operating in Arctic environments.

The Jameson Land Basin on Greenland’s east coast represents one of the Arctic regions where exploration has historically been limited despite significant geological interest. Historic exploration campaigns conducted by Atlantic Richfield in the 1980s collected approximately 1,800 kilometers of seismic data and identified geological structures capable of trapping large volumes of hydrocarbons.

Greenland Energy’s exploration team has reprocessed this seismic data using modern imaging technology and identified more than 50 potential oil and gas targets within the basin. Early geological models suggest the basin could contain more than 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil if exploration results confirm the resource potential.

Leadership Team

Robert Price, Chief Executive Officer of March GL Company and incoming Chief Executive Officer of Greenland Energy Company, has assembled and managed companies across the energy, real estate and manufacturing sectors. He founded Brooks Energy Company in 1991 and 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. At March GL, he oversaw the reprocessing of approximately 1,800 kilometers of historic seismic data from Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin.

Larry G. Swets Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Greenland Exploration Limited and incoming Executive Chairman of Greenland Energy Company, has been involved in advancing the development of energy resources in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin through Greenland Exploration’s planned merger with March GL Company and Pelican Acquisition Corp.

Disseminated on behalf of Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) and may include paid advertising.

• Trilogy Metals has expanded its management structure with new leadership appointments at its Ambler Metals Joint Venture with South32 Limited, to support operational execution and strategic planning.
• Ambler Metals’ focus under an expanded leadership team is the development of mineral resources in the Ambler Mining District of northwest Alaska.
• The announcement comes just as U.S. policymakers are placing renewed emphasis on domestic resource development.

Growing concerns over supply chain security and the energy transition have pushed domestic critical minerals production to the forefront of U.S. policy discussions. Copper, zinc and other metals essential to electrification, energy infrastructure and advanced manufacturing are increasingly viewed as strategic resources. Against this backdrop, Ambler Metals recently expanded its management team, a move announced by Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) that is intended to strengthen leadership as the joint venture advances mineral development initiatives for the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects in Alaska’s Ambler Mining District while navigating a rapidly evolving policy landscape. 

The additions are designed to enhance its ability to move projects forward while strengthening corporate governance, community engagement and operational oversight. Leadership experience in areas such as project development, finance and regulatory engagement is particularly important for companies working in complex mining jurisdictions where permitting, environmental studies and stakeholder coordination are essential components of project advancement.

Two key deposits within the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects are the Arctic deposit and the Bornite deposit. The Arctic deposit has been described by the company as one of the highest-grade undeveloped copper-dominant polymetallic deposits in the world, containing significant quantities of copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver. The nearby Bornite deposit is another large copper resource that has been the subject of exploration drilling and geological evaluation. Together, these assets form the backbone of Trilogy’s long-term development strategy.

Michael Galicki and Cole Schaeffer bring strong experience in exploration and operational management, respectively, in challenging North American environments, positioning the joint venture to efficiently execute its near-term milestones and target high-priority resource expansion areas. Jenna Tan adds financial and commercial expertise from leading South32’s Hermosa project, strengthening Ambler Metals’ capacity to advance toward an investment decision on the Arctic Project. Meanwhile, Ron Rimelman’s four decades of permitting experience will be critical in navigating the FAST-41 federal permitting process. Together, this leadership team equips Ambler Metals to unlock the full potential of the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects.

The expansion of Ambler Metals’ management team reflects the growing complexity of advancing large-scale mining projects in today’s regulatory and economic environment. Moving a project from exploration through feasibility studies and into potential construction requires expertise across engineering, environmental science, regulatory affairs and community engagement. By strengthening its leadership bench, the joint venture looks to position itself to navigate these challenges more effectively while preparing for future development phases.

The recent announcement comes just as U.S. policymakers are placing renewed emphasis on domestic resource development. Federal agencies have increasingly identified critical minerals as essential to national security and economic competitiveness. Copper, for example, is a cornerstone material for electrification, energy infrastructure and AI data centers due to its high electrical conductivity and durability.

Recent federal policy developments highlight this shift. The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced that approximately 2.1 million acres in Alaska’s Dalton Corridor would be opened to mining and energy development opportunities as part of a broader effort to strengthen domestic resource production. The department stated that the initiative is intended to support development of natural resources while helping secure critical minerals needed for energy technologies and national infrastructure.

Although the Dalton Corridor initiative is separate from Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects, the policy direction underscores broader federal interest in exploring Alaska’s mineral potential. Alaska is believed to contain significant untapped mineral resources, and the region has long been considered an important frontier for domestic mining development.

This evolving policy environment could present new opportunities capable of supplying metals needed for electrification and infrastructure development, receiving increased attention from governments and investors alike. Copper demand is expected to remain strong as global energy systems shift toward electrification and increase demand on the grid, which require large quantities of conductive materials.

Trilogy Metals has stated that its strategy centers on advancing the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects through Ambler Metals, its 50/50 joint venture with South32, while continuing technical work, environmental studies and community engagement required for future development. The company’s approach reflects a long-term vision of contributing to domestic supplies of critical minerals while operating within evolving regulatory frameworks.

Beyond the Arctic and Bornite deposits, the Ambler Mining District contains multiple mineral prospects that have been explored over decades by various companies and federal agencies. The region is recognized for its rich polymetallic mineralization, which has attracted sustained interest from the mining industry.

Ambler Metals’ management expansion can be viewed as part of a broader effort to prepare the company for the next stages of project advancement. As mining companies respond to growing demand for critical minerals and navigate increasingly complex regulatory environments, strong leadership teams are essential for managing technical development, securing financing and maintaining stakeholder relationships.

Disseminated on behalf of Canamera Energy Metals Corp. (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) and may include paid advertising.

• Schryburt Lake outlines a multi-centre carbonatite system with four large REE-Nb targets defined by coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies
• Deep magnetic inversion modelling suggests vertically extensive mineralization potential across multiple targets, including fully untested zones
• Canamera is advancing rare earth assets across Canada, the United States, and Brazil, positioning its portfolio within jurisdictions aligned with Western supply chain priorities

As governments and manufacturers race to secure non-Chinese sources of rare earth elements, attention is increasingly shifting toward projects that demonstrate both geological scale and jurisdictional stability. Carbonatite-hosted rare earth systems, in particular, have re-emerged as strategic targets due to their potential for large tonnage mineralization and association with critical elements such as neodymium, praseodymium, niobium, and heavy rare earths. In this environment, explorers able to define multi-centre systems with depth continuity are gaining renewed relevance.

That context frames the latest exploration update from Canamera Energy Metals (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF), which recently outlined new technical detail and engagement initiatives at its Schryburt Lake Rare Earths Project in northwestern Ontario.

A Multi-Centre Carbonatite System at Schryburt Lake

Schryburt Lake comprises 255 mineral claims covering approximately 4,948 hectares in northwestern Ontario, located roughly 52 kilometres east of the Musselwhite Mine. The project is underlain by a carbonatite-alkaline intrusive complex interpreted as a small plug emplaced in an extensional continental rift setting, a geological environment commonly associated with REE-Nb-P mineralization.

Canamera’s recent work supports the interpretation of a vertically extensive, multi-centre system rather than a single isolated target. Four priority zones, Blue Jay, Goldfinch, Blackbird, and Starling, have been delineated through the coincidence of kilometre-scale thorium radiometric anomalies and deep three-dimensional magnetic bodies. Collectively, these anomalies suggest a coherent mineralized system developed around multiple centres within the broader carbonatite complex.

Blue Jay stands out as the flagship target, where three-dimensional magnetic inversion modelling indicates a potential coherent body extending to approximately 1,000 metres depth over a width of roughly 650 metres. Goldfinch, a niobium-rich system, exhibits a broad thorium anomaly measuring approximately 1,000 by 800 metres, with modelling suggesting depth continuity approaching 850 metres.

Two additional targets add further scale optionality. Blackbird represents a newly identified and fully untested discovery target, characterized by a surface anomaly and coincident geophysical signature that may extend to approximately 800 metres depth. Starling, largely concealed beneath limited surface exposure, is defined by a substantial thorium anomaly and magnetic body extending to roughly 600 metres depth.

Historical Work, Modern Interpretation

While Schryburt Lake has seen exploration dating back to the 1960s, including trenching, pits, reverse-circulation drilling, and surface sampling, more recent programs have significantly advanced the technical database. These efforts include helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric surveys, satellite radar and multispectral coverage, and the digitization of nearly 1,800 legacy magnetic stations.

Importantly, Canamera’s current interpretation integrates these datasets into a modern three-dimensional framework, allowing the company to identify vertically continuous targets that were not previously understood in historical programs. Rare earth mineralization at Schryburt Lake occurs in minerals such as ancylite and related carbonate phases, consistent with other economically significant carbonatite systems globally.

Responsible Advancement and Indigenous Engagement

Alongside technical progress, Canamera announced the engagement of Andrew Best as Manager of Indigenous Relations. With more than three decades of experience supporting Indigenous engagement across Canada’s resource sector, Best’s appointment signals a parallel focus on responsible project advancement.

The company has stated its intent to re-engage with relevant First Nations as it moves toward permitting a maiden drill program. Early and structured engagement is increasingly viewed as a prerequisite for long-term project viability in Canadian jurisdictions, particularly for projects advancing toward drilling.

Broader Portfolio Momentum

While Schryburt Lake anchors Canamera’s current technical narrative, the company’s broader portfolio adds diversification across multiple rare earth and critical metals settings. In Colorado, initial rock chip sampling at the Iron Hills Project returned multiple over-limit rare earth results exceeding laboratory detection thresholds, including neodymium, yttrium, and cerium. Several samples indicated elevated heavy rare earth oxide values, supporting the presence of a district-scale system in a U.S. jurisdiction designated as strategically important for critical minerals.

Looking ahead, Canamera enters 2026 with several near-term catalysts across its portfolio. Preliminary drilling results are expected from the Turvolândia Project in Brazil, while follow-up analytical work is planned at Iron Hills to better define high-grade REE concentrations. Additional exploration planning updates are anticipated for Schryburt Lake, Garrow Lake in Ontario, and the Great Divide uranium project in Wyoming.

A Platform Built for Scale

Canamera’s approach reflects a portfolio strategy focused on district-scale opportunities rather than isolated targets. By advancing projects in mining-friendly jurisdictions with established infrastructure and regulatory clarity, the company is positioning itself within a broader effort to rebuild Western rare earth supply chains.

At Schryburt Lake, the combination of multi-centre carbonatite mineralization, depth continuity, and modern geophysical interpretation provides a technically compelling foundation. As exploration advances toward drilling, the project offers a clear example of how scale, geology, and jurisdiction are increasingly intersecting in the critical minerals space.

• LaFleur Minerals has released its highly anticipated report on the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for its flagship Swanson Gold Project in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec
• The PEA outlines the gold mining project as being straightforward, capital efficient, and likely to produce “significant economic returns” considering the strong gold market
• The PEA assesses the benefits of LaFleur’s wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill, the nearby Swanson Gold Deposit’s resources, and the project’s proximity to skilled labor and equipment suppliers in the already established Val d’Or mining community

Near-term gold producer LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is reporting the results of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) that will help the company accelerate its roadmap to production profitability in the renowned Abitibi gold belt of Quebec, and that further validates the Company’s assets potential. As of recent, LaFleur has delivered a compelling combination of strong drilling results, robust economic metrics, and near-term production potential which makes it one of the most notable emerging production stories in its jurisdiction.

LaFleur’s report issued March 3 anticipates a “technically straightforward, capital efficient project with significant economic returns” thanks to the company’s Swanson Gold Deposit, existing mining lease, as well as their nearby refurbished Beacon Gold Mill and permitted tailings storage facility. 

“With a modest initial capital requirement and mill upgrades and strong projected returns at a US$2,750 per ounce base-case gold price, we believe Swanson has the potential to evolve into a competitive and short-term gold development project within the Abitibi Gold Belt,” LaFleur CEO Paul Ténière stated in the company’s news release (https://ibn.fm/wNUA4).

“Our focus now shifts to continued technical optimization, metallurgical and bulk sample validation, and permitting advancement,” he added, “as we evaluate the next phase of growth and progress toward restarting the Beacon Mill in 2026.”

The Beacon Gold Mill’s proximity to the Swanson Project by road, and the further potential for creating a rail line spur directly to the mill, highlight the streamlined, low-complexity path to production LaFleur enjoys, according to the PEA.

The PEA also envisions a potential reduction in operating costs through the economies of scale as the company completes a staged mill expansion from its current 750 tonnes per day (“TPD”) capacity to 1,250 TPD to match the mine output. Although not analyzed in the current PEA, the company is already contemplating the possibility of further expansion to 3,000 TPD or higher with a parallel mineral processing circuit if additional mill feed is secured.

In assessing the potential for investment profitability, the PEA establishes a Net Present Value (“NPV”) of C$101 million (5% value creation) and places Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) expectations at 65% after taxes, where Swanson shines in CAPEX efficiency, quick payback, and base-case IRR compared to peers such as West Red Lake Gold. The report’s All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) metric highlights a profitable outcome even if gold prices retreat somewhat from the record run they have enjoyed during the past year, using a conservative US$2,750 per oz gold price as base case.

The company’s updated 2026 mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) shows a 30% increase in the indicated mineral resource over the 2024 MRE, due to updated cut-off grades. The 2026 MRE does not incorporate the positive results of the recently completed diamond drilling program, but now highlights 227koz of contained gold (Ind and Inf).

The PEA also notes the Swanson Project’s proximity to Val-d’Or, Quebec — a predominant mining camp with a skilled workforce and equipment suppliers, which creates the potential for already housed employees who can drive in and out without the need for LaFleur to create costly camp facilities and the infrastructure that accompanies remote site work.

All-in-all, the assumptions outlined in the PEA indicate positive potential economic viability for the company and rapid payback on investment.

LaFleur also recently announced significant progress toward restarting gold production at, with refurbishment work advancing on schedule and about 30% of the budget spent to ready the facility for a planned gold pour later this year.  This combination of a capital-efficient, high-return PEA, proven continuous mineralization and strong geology, and near-term processing capability with wholly owned infrastructure positions LaFleur as a junior gold developer with both a clear path to production and potential upside through resource expansion, creating what many would see as a compelling investment story of a junior gold developer with both pipeline resource growth and existing processing assets.

• Renewal Fuels Inc. is developing the Texatron(TM) fusion system, designed around a deuterium–helium-3 fuel pathway.
• Twenty patent applications covering the Texatron architecture have already been filed, with roughly 240 additional filings in development.
• The company reports progress toward SEC reporting status, including completion of a Form 10 registration and ongoing PCAOB audits.

Growing geopolitical tension in global energy markets is drawing renewed attention to technologies that promise domestically produced, non-fossil power. Among the companies positioning themselves in this emerging landscape is Renewal Fuels (OTC: RNWF) (d/b/a American Fusion), an advanced energy platform company focused on the development and commercialization of new technology fusion energy. The company recently highlighted the strategic relevance of fusion energy as conflict between the United States and Iran raises concerns about global energy supply disruptions (https://ibn.fm/iwgnz).

The discussion reflects a broader concern in energy markets: reliance on fossil fuel supply routes that pass through geopolitically sensitive regions. One such chokepoint of recent attention is the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway through which roughly 20 million barrels of oil pass daily, according to U.S. energy data cited in the company’s statement. Any sustained disruption to this corridor could trigger volatility in global oil markets and expose vulnerabilities in energy supply chains.

For developers of alternative energy technologies, such disruptions highlight the need for continuous and unlimited domestically produced baseload power. Fusion energy has long been viewed as a singular way of reaching this goal.

Unlike renewable sources such as wind and solar, fusion reactors are theoretically capable of generating continuous electricity without weather or daylight dependence. The process combines atomic nuclei to release energy, using fuels that are widely distributed rather than concentrated in politically sensitive regions.

Private and public investment in fusion development has accelerated in recent years, with global funding estimated to exceed $10 billion as governments and companies pursue commercial reactor designs. American Fusion’s strategy centers on its Texatron(TM) system, a reactor concept designed around an aneutronic fuel pathway using deuterium and helium-3. According to the company, this approach is intended to reduce neutron radiation compared with more traditional fusion approaches based on deuterium-tritium reactions.

The Texatron system also incorporates what the company describes as a “clam-shell” reactor architecture built around a hollow toroidal chamber designed to optimize electromagnetic confinement and fuel dynamics. Development of the platform is being carried out through Kepler Fusion Technologies, which became a wholly owned subsidiary following the closing of a previously announced transaction. The company confirmed the completion of the acquisition in a recent news release (https://ibn.fm/G37gl).

Management said the closing establishes a clear accounting date for purchase accounting, and simplifies the company’s fiscal-year audit process. The integration of Kepler also consolidates the company’s technical development under the American Fusion brand. Alongside the corporate restructuring, the company is building an intellectual property portfolio around the Texatron platform.

In a separate update, the company reported that it has filed 20 patent applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office covering structural, electromagnetic and confinement features of the Texatron system (https://ibn.fm/Yku87).

The filings relate to core design elements such as the reactor’s toroidal chamber geometry, electromagnetic foil structures and fuel injection systems. Management said an additional 240 patent applications are currently being developed, which could expand the company’s intellectual property portfolio to roughly 260 filings if submitted as planned. The filings are being sequenced to align with ongoing engineering refinements and long-term commercialization objectives.

“Our intellectual property strategy is being structured deliberately and in phases. We are prioritizing core architectural protections while building a portfolio intended to support regulatory positioning, commercial deployment, and long-term defensibility,” said CLO Michael Smith. “Coordinating closely with technical leadership ensures that each filing aligns with the platform’s development roadmap.”

American Fusion’s goal is to create what management describes as a modular energy platform that could eventually support industrial, commercial and grid-constrained energy applications. Such concepts are attracting increasing attention as global electricity demand rises. Artificial intelligence infrastructure, data centers and electrification trends are placing new pressure on power systems, prompting interest in technologies capable of providing large amounts of reliable energy with minimal emissions.

Fusion’s appeal lies in its theoretical ability to generate significant power with relatively small fuel inputs while producing limited long-lived radioactive waste, although achieving that goal requires overcoming substantial engineering and scientific challenges. For that reason, most fusion developers, including American Fusion, remain focused on research, engineering development, and intellectual property expansion, as opposed to near-term commercial electricity generation.

Beyond technology development, the company is also working toward a series of regulatory and corporate milestones. Management reports that a Form 10 registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is substantially complete, a step that would move the company toward full reporting status with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In parallel, the company’s PCAOB audit covering fiscal years 2024 and 2025 is nearing completion. The firm is also pursuing a corporate action with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) related to its transition to the American Fusion name and potential new trading symbols. Leadership additions have accompanied these steps, including new executive appointments covering operations, legal affairs and power systems engineering.

“American Fusion is building toward a future where clean, domestically produced, infrastructure-grade baseload power is not merely advantageous but strategically essential,” said Richard Hawkins, President & CEO. “We believe the Texatron(TM) platform, with its compact design, aneutronic fuel pathway, and modular scalability, positions the company to contribute meaningfully to that future as the global energy transition advances.”

• LIXTE recently expanded its ovarian clear cell cancer trial in partnership with MD Anderson and GSK
• The company operates at the nexus of targeted cancer biology and combination therapy innovation
• These partnerships help underscore LIXTE’s broader strategy: enhancing established cancer treatments through its first-in-class compound LB 100

LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings (NASDAQ: LIXT) continues to promote its lead oncology asset, LB 100, through a partnership-driven model designed to accelerate development and improve scientific validation. Recently, the company announced the expansion of its ongoing clinical collaboration with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and GSK plc to evaluate LB 100 in combination with dostarlimab for the treatment of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (https://nnw.fm/xi8sP).

The trial, initiated in January 2024, has met its initial enrolment target of 21 patients and is expected to grow to 42 participants. Results from the first cohort are projected to be out within the first half of 2026. The company’s decision to increase enrollment indicates institutional confidence in both operational execution and the underlying scientific rationale backing LB 100’s combination potential.

Experienced clinical investigators at MD Anderson spearhead the research and have since expanded to include a second site at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, further improving recruitment capabilities and academic engagement. Multi-site collaboration improves the credibility of trial data and expands exposure within the oncology research community, both of which are often critical to future regulatory and partnership discussions.

Instead of developing LB 100 as a standalone therapy, the company focuses on improving the overall effectiveness of known treatments such as chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. By combining LB 100 with approved immunotherapies such as dostarlimab, the company aims to address persistent resistance mechanisms that affect outcomes in difficult-to-treat cancers.

• The growing need for organic farming faces a structural limitation due to the lack of scalable phosphate sources that meet organic certification standards.
• Nevada Organic Phosphate’s unique project may offer a solution, as drilling at the company’s Murdock Mountain project in Nevada has confirmed phosphate grades and low heavy-metal content compatible with organic farming requirements, and pointing to the production of direct-application rock phosphate that simply requires grinding rather than costly chemical processing.
• American farming environmental practices are rapidly moving to a direct application of REACTIVE rather than soluble chemical phosphate, and the company currently has no large scale competition in North America.
• The project is located in northeastern Nevada near Union Pacific rail infrastructure, potentially facilitating distribution to agricultural markets, and early estimates suggest the project and nearby targets could collectively host up to 200 million tonnes of phosphate-bearing material.

As demand for organic food continues to grow, one input remains difficult to scale: organic phosphate fertilizer. Nevada Organic Phosphate (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF), a B.C.-based leader in organic sedimentary phosphate exploration, is developing its Murdock Mountain project in northeastern Nevada as an important potential solution to that constraint, targeting a supply of naturally occurring phosphate suitable for direct use in organic agriculture.

The concept is attracting attention from resource investors. Mining analyst and market commentator John Kaiser, who is also a NOP shareholder, recently examined the opportunity in an article discussing how a scalable source of organic phosphate could affect the growth trajectory of organic farming (https://ibn.fm/3DQsT).

Phosphate is an essential nutrient for plant growth and is widely used in conventional agriculture. However, most global phosphate production comes from sedimentary rock deposits with relatively high concentrations of heavy metals. These materials are typically processed chemically to produce fertilizers such as monoammonium phosphate (“MAP”) or diammonium phosphate (“DAP”). While effective for crop production, those products do not qualify for organic certification.

That distinction creates a structural bottleneck for organic farming. Current organic phosphate inputs, primarily bone meal and manure, are by-products of livestock production. Because these materials depend on the scale of animal agriculture, supply cannot expand easily to meet rising demand for organic crops.

Importantly, organic farming has substantial remaining growth potential ahead of it. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s most recent agricultural census, organic generated roughly $9 billion in output in 2022, compared with approximately $223 billion for the broader agricultural sector. As  consumer demand for organic products grows, the supply of compliant fertilizer inputs will need to expand significantly.

Nevada Organic Phosphate’s strategy centers on producing a form of phosphate that can be applied directly to farmland without chemical processing. The company is exploring the Murdock Mountain phosphate beds in Elko County, Nevada, where early drilling has confirmed phosphate grades in the range of roughly 10%-12% P2O5.

Equally important, assays from the drilling program indicate that heavy metal concentrations are well below thresholds established by the USDA for agricultural application. That finding addresses a key question that had been hanging over the project: whether low heavy-metal readings observed in weathered surface exposures would also hold true in fresh bedrock.

According to Kaiser’s analysis, the initial drilling suggests the target zone’s heavy-metal profile may remain consistent throughout the broader formation. If confirmed through additional exploration, the result could support the development of a large resource suitable for organic fertilizer applications.

The company’s current exploration target for the Murdock project ranges from approximately 10 million to 46 million tonnes of rock phosphate grading between 3% and 15% P2O5. Additional nearby targets have been identified that could expand the broader resource potential to more than 200 million tonnes.

Unlike conventional fertilizer production, which requires chemical processing to remove impurities and concentrate nutrients, Nevada Organic Phosphate’s concept is relatively straightforward. The company plans to produce ground rock phosphate that can be applied directly to fields. This approach could significantly reduce processing requirements and capital costs compared with traditional chemical-based fertilizer operations. Production would involve mining, crushing, grinding, and shipping the phosphate rock rather than building complex chemical processing facilities.

Logistics may also work in the project’s favor. The Murdock Mountain property lies near Union Pacific rail infrastructure, which could provide efficient transport routes to agricultural regions across the United States, potentially making the project a rare North American source of phosphate suitable for organic agriculture.

Nevada Organic Phosphate recently received drilling permits from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, allowing the company to begin delineating the target zone after several years of regulatory delays. The first drilling program was conducted in late 2025, confirming both grade and continuity within the phosphate beds. Further drilling could advance the project toward a maiden resource estimate. Management has indicated that delineation work may accelerate if permitting for additional drill sites proceeds more smoothly.

Perhaps most significantly, American farming environmental practices are rapidly moving to a direct application of REACTIVE rather than soluble chemical phosphate, and NOP does not have to compete with the conventional chemical agricultural input industry. The company currently has no large-scale competition in North America.
