• The Ambler Mining District is one of the last underexplored volcanogenic massive sulphide belts in North America, with only ~200,000 meters drilled along a 100 km trend
• Recent federal decisions, including a Trump-era presidential decree, have de-risked the Ambler Access Road that leads to the district, positioning the Arctic and Bornite projects for development
• Trilogy Metals is working to advance a district-scale opportunity comparable to historic mining camps like Noranda and Flin Flon

America’s Growing Need for Domestic Copper Supply

As global demand for mineral independence accelerates, the U.S. faces a widening supply gap just as electrification, national security, and energy transition priorities intensify. The world’s largest copper producers are increasingly concentrated outside North America, raising concerns about long-term supply reliability. With policymakers emphasizing reshoring of critical minerals, attention is turning to districts with the potential to anchor multi-decade domestic production. Alaska’s Ambler Mining District stands out as one of the most compelling opportunities.

Trilogy Metals: Advancing Rare District-Scale Opportunity

Trilogy Metals (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) is exploring some of the most prospective ground in Alaska’s Ambler Mining District, a region host to world-class copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulfide (“VMS”) deposits. Through Ambler Metals, a joint venture with South32, the company is advancing two cornerstone assets: the Arctic copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold deposit and the large-scale Bornite copper-cobalt deposit.

What distinguishes Trilogy is not simply these two deposits, but the broader district-scale upside. In a recent interview at the Zurich Precious Metals Summit, Trilogy President and CEO Tony Giardini emphasized that the Ambler Mining District has geological characteristics similar to legendary North American mining camps such as Noranda and Flin Flon. Those districts became globally significant mining centers because once access infrastructure was built, exploration accelerated dramatically.

Giardini notes that the Ambler Belt trend runs roughly 100 kilometers yet has seen only about 200,000 meters of drilling, a fraction of what comparable belts have received. For context, Noranda and Flin Flon saw multiple millions of meters drilled over decades. The disparity highlights the scale of discovery potential remaining at Ambler.

A Major De-Risking Event: The Ambler Access Road Moves Forward

Infrastructure is key to unlocking development at the Ambler Mining District. Advancement of the Ambler Access Road, a controlled, industrial-use corridor connecting the district to the Dalton Highway, is critical to enabling mine development and large-scale exploration.

Recent federal actions represent major milestones in moving the road forward. A presidential decree from the Trump administration formally supported development of the road as a strategic national priority, and subsequent administrative reviews have reaffirmed its importance. The result is greater clarity around permitting and long-term viability of the corridor.

Adding to this momentum, the U.S. Department of War (“DOW”) recently committed a $35.6 million investment to advance exploration and development of the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects in the district, held by Ambler Metals. The DOW will hold approximately 10% of Trilogy Metals, lending further credence to the upside of the company.

With road access appearing increasingly achievable, Trilogy and its partners are positioned to transition the Arctic project toward a construction decision once final approvals are in place.

Arctic, Bornite, and the Path Toward a Multi-Decade Mining Camp

The Arctic deposit is one of the highest-grade undeveloped VMS copper projects globally, hosting a reserve profile that could support a long-life, low-cost mine. Bornite, meanwhile, is a large copper-cobalt system with substantial resource expansion potential. Together, these assets could anchor a mining camp with decades of production.

Giardini stresses that these deposits represent only the starting point. The district is still in its early exploration stages, with multiple identified prospects along a trend that has barely been drilled. If history is a guide, establishing initial production often unlocks a rapid cycle of new discoveries, as capital, infrastructure, and drilling density increase.

This dynamic is exactly how the great Canadian VMS camps evolved: single deposits grew into multi-generational mining districts supporting entire regional economies.

Strong Local Partnerships and Stakeholder Alignment

Trilogy’s partnership (through Ambler Metals) with NANA Regional Corporation, the Alaska Native corporation that owns substantial land in the district, is another key advantage. NANA is deeply experienced in mining operations, having partnered successfully with Teck Resources at the Red Dog Mine for over 30 years. Their involvement ensures that development aligns with community priorities, workforce opportunities, and long-term environmental stewardship.

This alignment reduces social risk and increases certainty for a district-scale buildout, especially in a remote region where local collaboration is essential.

Positioned at the Intersection of Geology, Infrastructure, and National Priorities

Trilogy Metals sits within a transformative moment, positioning itself to drive domestic production for domestic use and support the future of U.S. critical minerals security. The combination of high-grade deposits, vast exploration upside, and domestic strategic importance positions the Ambler Mining District as one of the strongest copper development opportunities in North America.

If the road proceeds as current signals suggest, the Ambler Mining District could evolve into a major U.S. copper hub, and Trilogy Metals would be at the center of a mining camp with potential to rival the historic Noranda and Flin Flon belts.

Disseminated on behalf of  Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FAIR) (OTC: FCHDF) and may include paid advertising.

• Hecla Mining posted record Q3 earnings and announced heightened exploration activity across Nevada properties, including the closed Midas and Hollister mines
• Exploration is advancing multiple targets with existing infrastructure, signaling renewed confidence in Nevada’s epithermal gold systems
• Fairchild Gold controls strategic ground at Carlin Queen, positioned directly along the same mineralized trends that produced over 2 million ounces at Midas

In exploration geology, context matters as much as the rock itself. When a 134-year-old mining company with four operating mines and $100 million in quarterly cash flow announces it will increase exploration spending in a specific district after years of underinvestment, the companies holding adjacent ground inherit a different valuation equation overnight.

That shift is now unfolding in northern Elko County, Nevada, where Hecla Mining’s renewed focus on the Midas and Hollister mine sites has implications that extend beyond the company’s own claim boundaries.

The Signal in the Quarterly Report

Hecla’s third quarter results showed adjusted net income of $77.68 million, driven by silver averaging $42.58 per ounce and gold at $3,509. But the more revealing detail came during the earnings call. Kurt Allen, Vice President of Exploration, stated that all Nevada properties have “significant exploration potential, minimal regulatory hurdles and existing infrastructure,” before adding, “You can expect heightened activity in Nevada next year.”

Russell Lawlar, Senior Vice President and CFO, acknowledged the company has “historically underinvested in exploration” and confirmed plans to increase spending companywide while remaining prudent with investor capital.

For companies like Fairchild Gold (TSX.V: FAIR) (OTCID: FCHDF) holding exploration ground in the same geological systems, this represents a meaningful shift in district dynamics.

Infrastructure and Proximity

Hecla’s Nevada portfolio includes the Midas Mine and Hollister Mine, both in northern Elko County. Historical production from Midas exceeded 2 million ounces of gold at stope grades frequently above 1 ounce per ton. Hollister produced approximately 570,000 ounces at grades of 1.29 ounces per ton gold and 7 ounces per ton silver.

Both mines retain processing infrastructure. Midas and Aurora have mills, while Hollister sits within hauling distance of Midas. In exploration economics, existing mills eliminate one of the largest capital hurdles between discovery and production.

Fairchild’s Carlin Queen project sits at the intersection of the Carlin and Midas-Hollister gold trends, approximately 4.6 miles from Hecla’s Hollister property. The 73 unpatented lode claims covering 1,508 acres occupy ground where fault structures extending northward from Hollister continue into Carlin Queen. Local tungsten anomalies reaching 1,500 ppm suggest the presence of a magmatic intrusion at depth, the type of heat engine that drives both Carlin-style disseminated deposits and low-sulfidation epithermal vein systems.

When Hecla’s exploration teams begin drilling untested targets within their claim blocks, any positive results extend the prospectivity of the broader trend. Carlin Queen inherits that structural and geochemical context without incurring Hecla’s exploration costs.

Strategic Positioning

Fairchild’s acquisition terms reflect tactical positioning: three annual cash payments of $150,000 each (or $375,000 if settled before April 30, 2026), plus a 2% net smelter return royalty buyable for $4 million. Total consideration for drill-ready ground along a producing trend that generated more than 98 million ounces from the Carlin Trend through 2022 is under $400,000 upfront.

The project benefits from prior USGS geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and multiple geophysical surveys including ground magnetics, gravity, CSAMT, and induced polarization. It sits 48 miles northwest of Elko and about 11 miles from Nevada Gold Mines’ Goldstrike complex.

The Trinity Strategy

Executive Chairman Nikolas Perrault framed Carlin Queen in district-building terms: “With this additional 100% acquisition, Fairchild has in less than 18 months established a significant Nevada-focused gold and copper portfolio.”

Nevada Titan remains the flagship, 22 square kilometers in southern Nevada with copper-gold mineralization including surface samples up to 34% copper. The 2025 sampling program returned values including 34.0% copper, 1.27 g/t gold, and 134 g/t silver from the Copperside Mine area. A newly identified breccia pipe shows porphyry affinities.

Golden Arrow, under memorandum of understanding with Emergent Metals, carries a historical NI 43-101 resource of approximately 346,900 ounces gold measured and indicated, plus 50,400 ounces inferred. The project benefits from an approved BLM Plan of Operations permitting up to 240,000 feet of drilling.

Carlin Queen adds a third geological system, epithermal gold-silver along proven trends with existing infrastructure nearby. The three properties span different mineralization styles across Nevada’s second-ranked mining jurisdiction globally.

Capital and Timing

When a major miner announces increased exploration spending in a district, junior explorers holding adjacent ground face a choice: advance projects quickly to establish value before drill results reset district expectations, or risk being sidelined as consolidation accelerates.

The Nevada Titan drone magnetic survey is currently delivering 2-centimeter DEM resolution. Induced polarization surveys are planned for Q4 2025-Q1 2026 targeting the Copper Hill anomaly. AI integration combining structural, geochemical, magnetic, and IP data begins in 2025-2026.

These timelines reflect a tactical approach to establishing drill targets while Hecla’s teams mobilize in the same district. 

The companies that benefit most from that dynamic are those already holding strategic ground, with capital in the treasury and technical teams capable of executing systematic exploration. Fairchild has assembled three projects spanning distinct mineralization styles, raised working capital, and positioned itself to advance drilling programs as a major miner validates the district geology next door.

Disseminated on behalf of Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) and may include paid advertisements.

• According to the World Platinum Investment Council (“WPIC”), the global platinum market is projected to remain in deficit for multiple years.
• The WPIC points to several key drivers of tightness in the platinum market.
• Platinum Group Metals Ltd. Waterberg Project could enter an increasingly supply-constrained market at a critical time.

A growing body of research suggests the world is entering a period of prolonged platinum scarcity, and the timing could not be more significant for Platinum Group Metals (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM). As deficits deepen, the company is advancing its large-scale Waterberg Project in South Africa, an asset that could help address what analysts describe as a structural platinum shortage with consequences across the automotive, industrial and clean energy sectors.

According to the World Platinum Investment Council (“WPIC”), the global platinum market is projected to remain in deficit for multiple years, with annual shortfalls averaging approximately 8% of total yearly demand (https://ibn.fm/v5VIv). Sprott Asset Management highlights that current above-ground platinum inventories, estimated at roughly 2.5 million ounces in 2025, may be effectively exhausted within three years if deficits persist (https://ibn.fm/lrm2G). The report notes that the supply pinch is rooted in long-term structural issues tied to declining South African production, insufficient new mine development and rising demand from various sectors, including hydrogen technologies as well as hybrid and internal combustion engine catalytic converters.

The WPIC points to several key drivers of tightness in the platinum market. Beyond its traditional use in catalytic converters, platinum is becoming increasingly important in proton exchange membrane hydrogen fuel cells, electrolyzers for green-hydrogen production and emerging zero-emission industrial processes (https://ibn.fm/PNFEt). As hydrogen infrastructure scales, platinum demand may accelerate, heightening the urgency of developing new supply sources. The Sprott report notes that platinum’s unique catalytic properties make it difficult to substitute in these hydrogen related applications, which could force a reprioritization of supply chains and resource strategies.  Platinum can be substituted in catalytic converter applications and increasing demand and prices for platinum may positively affect palladium demand and pricing as well.  

Why do analysts believe inventories could be depleted within three years? The explanation centers on basic math. If platinum deficits average 8% of annual demand and above-ground stocks total about 2.5 million ounces, then consecutive yearly drawdowns could reduce available inventories to critically low levels by the late 2020s. The Sprott analysis suggests that without substantial new mine output, the platinum market could face constrained availability, price volatility and potential supply rationing.

This is where Platinum Group Metals Ltd. and its Waterberg Project become notable. Located on the northern limb of South Africa’s Bushveld Complex, the Waterberg deposit is designed as a bulk, mechanized, decline accessible underground mine with an emphasis on platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold (https://ibn.fm/o7xnJ). The project contains large-scale, shallow, thick mineralized zones suitable for modern, low-cost production methods. The 2024 Waterberg definitive feasibility study highlights the potential for a long-life mine and production profile that could serve both the automotive and emerging hydrogen sectors.

The project is advancing in partnership with major industry players, including Implats and Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (“JOGMEC”), which retains an interest in the metal marketing rights. The Waterberg Project could enter an increasingly supply-constrained market at a critical time. With South Africa currently producing approximately 70% of annual platinum mine supply globally, disruptions or stagnation in production may reverberate through markets. Sprott’s analysis emphasizes that weak investment in new mines over the last decade is one reason platinum supply has not kept pace with evolving industrial requirements.

As platinum inventories diminish, strategic supply diversification becomes increasingly important. Waterberg’s design includes fully mechanized mining, which could provide advantages related to operational safety and labor efficiency. With rising platinum use in hydrogen value chains and continuing demand in internal combustion hybrid vehicles during the energy transition, a new, large-scale project positioned for multi-metal output could enhance security of supply for global manufacturing sectors.

Investors, policymakers and industrial buyers are watching platinum markets closely, and the Waterberg Project may become a relevant part of the Western supply narrative. If WPIC’s deficit projections hold and inventories trend toward exhaustion, mine development timelines are especially significant.

Disseminated on behalf of  SPARC AI Inc. (OTCQB: SPAIF) (CSE: SPAI) and may include paid advertising.

• SPARC AI’s Overwatch platform delivers target acquisition and autonomous navigation without GPS, lidar, radar, or image recognition, relying entirely on advanced mathematical modeling
• Recent commercialization milestones include the Strike 1 demonstration drone, a global reseller agreement with Precision Technic Defence Group, and ATLAS, a zero-signature visibility-mapping engine
• As global militaries prioritize resilient, low-signature autonomy, SPARC AI’s software-first architecture positions the company at the center of a rapidly expanding defense technology market

Modern warfare has entered an era defined by electronic interference. GPS signals can be jammed, spoofed, or selectively disabled. Lidar and radar emissions reveal a platform’s position to adversaries. Cameras relying on machine-learning recognition falter in low visibility, smoke, or cluttered terrain. The vulnerability of these sensor-dependent systems has forced defense organizations worldwide to reconsider how autonomous platforms navigate, identify targets, and maintain situational awareness when denied access to the electromagnetic spectrum. SPARC AI (OTCQB: SPAIF) (CSE: SPAI) has built its business around solving exactly this problem.

A Pure-Software Approach to Precision Geolocation

At the core of SPARC AI’s platform is a suite of spatial, predictive, approximation, and radial convolution algorithms collectively known by the acronym “SPARC.” Rather than depending on GPS, active sensors, or AI image interpretation, the Overwatch system calculates target coordinates and flight paths using only camera input, device telemetry, and mathematical modeling. It operates as a self-contained navigation and geolocation engine, producing precision outputs without broadcasting signals or requiring expensive hardware payloads.

This architecture diverges sharply from traditional autonomy providers that rely on high-power processors, large sensor arrays, and extensive training datasets. SPARC AI’s solution consumes less power, produces no electromagnetic signature, and functions in conditions where visual classifiers and sensor-based algorithms fail. With patents registered across seven countries including the U.S., the platform reflects more than 15 years of foundational research.

Strike 1 Moves the Platform into Commercial Deployment

SPARC AI reached a major milestone on November 12, 2025, when it completed the successful maiden flight of Strike 1, its first custom-built demonstration drone. Equipped with a detachable GPS module, Strike 1 allows operators to switch between GPS-enabled and fully GPS-denied modes, offering immediate proof-of-performance for potential customers.

The company will use the platform to support live demonstrations, partner test programs, and evaluation trials with defense customers. Organizations already operating drone fleets can integrate Overwatch directly into existing hardware via SPARC AI’s newly released Universal API. Compatibility with QGroundControl, a widely used open-source ground station, further lowers integration friction and expands the addressable market.

Global Defense Distribution Through Precision Technic Defence Group

To scale internationally, SPARC AI signed a non-exclusive Preferred Reseller Agreement on November 4, 2025, with Precision Technic Defence Group, a leading defense integrator with more than four decades of experience and operations across Europe, Australia, and the United States. PTD supports military and national-security customers across seven global offices and represents a critical gateway to procurement channels where demand for resilient autonomy is accelerating.

The agreement enhances SPARC AI’s reach by placing its GPS-denied navigation and target-acquisition solutions directly into the hands of defense organizations seeking systems that function in contested electronic environments.

ATLAS Brings Zero-Signature Intelligence to Mission Planning

SPARC AI’s most recent innovation, announced October 31, 2025, extends its software capabilities beyond onboard autonomy. ATLAS integrates Overwatch algorithms into a two- and three-dimensional mission-planning ecosystem capable of running visibility, line-of-sight, and terrain simulations entirely in software.

Traditional visibility mapping requires active sensing hardware (often lidar) that reveals the aircraft’s location and consumes significant power. ATLAS eliminates this exposure by computing visibility scenarios using terrain-aware modeling. Operators can assess dead zones, identify hidden positions, and evaluate reconnaissance routes without flying over hostile terrain or emitting detectable signals.

The result is an intelligence tool that supports pre-mission planning for defense forces, improves search-and-rescue efficiency, and lowers operational cost by removing hardware requirements.

Positioning Within a High-Growth Defense Technology Landscape

SPARC AI’s strategy aligns closely with trends reshaping the defense technology market. Comparable companies have demonstrated how significant the demand for resilient autonomy has become:

• Anduril Industries, valued above $12 billion, has gained traction through AI-enabled surveillance and modular autonomous systems designed specifically for contested operational environments.
• Shield AI, valued over $2.5 billion, built its platform around GPS-denied drone navigation and is an established supplier to U.S. and allied militaries.
• Skydio, now a $1+ billion company, achieved rapid adoption of its computer-vision navigation systems across defense and enterprise customers.

These companies highlight a global shift toward autonomy that functions without reliable GPS, emits minimal signatures, and adapts to contested battlefields. SPARC AI fits squarely within this category, but with a notable differentiator. Whereas competitors rely on sophisticated sensors, computer vision, or AI-recognition models, SPARC AI’s approach is grounded in pure mathematics. This not only reduces power and payload requirements but enhances survivability where spectrum denial is a primary threat.

A Software-Defined Future for GPS-Denied Intelligence

With the Strike 1 demonstration platform advancing commercial engagement, reseller distribution expanding globally, and ATLAS unlocking a new class of pre-mission intelligence capabilities, SPARC AI is positioned to scale precisely as defense organizations rethink their approach to autonomy.

The company’s mission to connect one million devices to Overwatch illustrates both the ambition and scalability of a software-first model. In an era where every signal, watt, and gram matters, SPARC AI offers a zero-signature alternative designed for a world where GPS cannot be assumed.

• The origins of golf trace back to 15th-century Scotland, where the game first took recognizable shape on the eastern coast near Edinburgh.
• Golf offers a unique combination of physical challenge, mental strategy and social connection that few other activities can match.
• Newton Golf’s flagship Newton Motion and Fast Motion shafts have gained significant traction across professional tours.

From the windswept Scottish coastlines where players once struck pebbles over sand dunes with bent sticks to today’s precision-engineered equipment, golf has evolved into a global phenomenon that captivates millions. Newton Golf Company (NASDAQ: NWTG), a technology-forward golf equipment manufacturer,  is committed to enhancing player performance through innovative design. Since its founding in 2018, the company has developed a growing portfolio of premium golf products, including putters, golf shafts, grips and related accessories. 

The origins of golf trace back to 15th-century Scotland, where the game first took recognizable shape on the eastern coast near Edinburgh (https://ibn.fm/AWD8U). In those early days, players would attempt to hit stones over sand dunes and around tracks using a bent stick or club, developing what would become one of the world’s most enduring sports. The game quickly gained such popularity that in 1457, the Scottish parliament of King James II actually banned golf because the nation’s enthusiastic pursuit of the sport led many to neglect their military training as Scotland prepared to defend itself against invasion. Despite this prohibition, the Scottish people largely ignored the ban, demonstrating an early passion for the game that would prove unstoppable.

The turning point for golf came in 1502 when King James IV of Scotland became the world’s first golfing monarch, giving the sport royal approval and legitimacy. This royal endorsement transformed golf from a banned pastime into a celebrated pursuit, and the game’s popularity quickly spread throughout 16th-century Europe. King Charles I brought golf to England, while Mary Queen of Scots introduced the game to France when she studied there. 

Golf’s international expansion accelerated in the late-19th century when the sport crossed into England and found its way to the United States, where it would eventually take root and become a major part of American culture. The United States Golf Association was established in 1894 to regulate the game, and by 1900, more than 1,000 golf clubs had been formed throughout the United States. Scottish soldiers, expatriates and immigrants played a pivotal role in spreading the game globally, taking their beloved sport to British colonies and beyond during the 18th and early-19th centuries. The first golf courses outside of Scotland began appearing in places as diverse as Sierra Leone, India, Mauritius and France, each one a testament to the game’s growing appeal.

Golf offers a unique combination of physical challenge, mental strategy and social connection that few other activities can match. Unlike many sports where age becomes an insurmountable barrier, golf allows players to compete and improve well into their later years, with many golfers reporting that they played their best rounds in their 50s, 60s and beyond. The game also provides a perfect environment for networking and relationship building, with countless business deals and partnerships forged during the several hours spent together on a course without the distractions of modern life. Whether walking the fairways, waiting for a turn to putt, or relaxing at the clubhouse afterward, conversations flow naturally and create genuine connections.

Today’s golf equipment represents a remarkable evolution from those early bent sticks and pebbles. Modern golf has become increasingly driven by technology and precision engineering, with manufacturers seeking to harness scientific principles to improve performance. This is precisely where Newton Golf Company distinguishes itself in the competitive golf-equipment market. Named in honor of Sir Isaac Newton, whose groundbreaking discoveries in physics forever changed understanding of motion and force, the company applies Newtonian principles to every aspect of its design process, creating precision-engineered golf equipment that delivers stability, control and consistency.

Newton Golf’s flagship Newton Motion and Fast Motion shafts have gained significant traction across professional tours, with more than 60 professionals across the PGA TOUR Champions, LPGA and Korn Ferry Tours now using Newton shafts, including multiple major champions and Ryder Cup alumni. The company’s proprietary DOT System eliminates traditional shaft flex definitions, making high-performance shaft technology accessible to golfers of all skill levels through a physics-based fitting experience. This approach resonates with the same spirit of innovation that transformed golf from a simple game played with pebbles and sticks into the sophisticated sport we know today.

As golf continues its centuries-long journey from the Scottish coastline to courses around the world, companies such as Newton Golf Company represent the next chapter in the sport’s evolution. By applying the fundamental laws of physics to golf equipment design, honoring the game’s rich traditions while embracing modern innovation, and delivering measurable performance improvements that resonate with both tour professionals and amateur players, Newton Golf embodies the same pioneering spirit that Scottish golfers demonstrated when they first formalized the rules and spread their beloved game across the globe. The sport that King James II tried to ban in 1457 has become a multibillion-dollar global industry, and with growing participation, technological advancement and companies committed to performance-driven innovation, golf’s future appears as promising as its storied past.

Disseminated on behalf of Silvercorp Metals Inc. (NYSE-A/TSX: SVM) and includes paid advertisement.

• Canadian miner Silvercorp Metals delivered its second-highest year-over-year revenue of its 18-year history, driven by strong production from the Ying Mining District
• Silvercorp expects a sharp increase in the amount of ore mined at Ying during the current quarter, from 265,000 metric tons to approximately 346,000 metric tons
• Q2 2026 gold sales rose 64% YOY, but silver continues to be its primary revenue driver at 67% of the quarterly revenue
• Construction at the El Domo project in Ecuador progressed significantly, with  material cut for site preparation, roads and channel construction increasing by 249%

Precious metals miner Silvercorp Metals (NYSE American/TSX: SVM) is reporting a significant boost to its revenue thanks to increases in the market prices of gold and silver and a corresponding increase in Silvercorp’s production of the precious metals in China during the company’s most recent financial quarter ended Sept. 30.

Overall, the company sold approximately 1.66 million ounces of silver, 2,033 ounces of gold, 14.75 million pounds of lead, and 5.67 million pounds of zinc during the quarter, which amounted to a 23% YOY revenue increase to $83.3 million — the second highest recorded during the company’s history (https://ibn.fm/lhdFA).

“The amount of gold sold in the quarter was up 64% compared to last year,” Silvercorp President Lon Shaver said during a Nov. 7 conference call to discuss the results (https://ibn.fm/WAZmh). “Silver remains our most significant revenue contributor at approximately 67% of net Q2 revenue, followed by lead at 16% and gold at 7%.”

Although production was affected by temporary closures in portions of the Ying complex in China, comprising seven mines and two milling facilities, those areas have reopened and the company expects a stronger final months of the year.

“We expect to mine approximately 346,000 tonnes of ore in this current quarter Q3 compared to the 265,000 tonnes mined in Q2,” Shaver said.  “We invested $6 million in the quarter for ramp and tunnel development to enhance underground access and increased material handling capabilities. This work goes hand-in-hand with our efforts to expand mining capacity across the 4 licenses at Ying,” he added. “We’re now in the process of applying to increase the TLP LM permit to 600,000 tonnes per year with approval expected later this quarter. Once all approvals are in place, Ying’s total permitted annual mining capacity will rise to 1.32 million tonnes from approximately 1 million tonnes currently.”

The company also made significant advances in mine construction at one of its Ecuador properties, increasing the amount of material cut for site preparation, roads and channel construction by 249% to advance the El Domo mine to production.

In addition to progressing the El Domo project in Ecuador, Silvercorp is also developing the company’s underground Condor Gold project. The company looks to release a preliminary economic assessment for a high-grade underground gold operation later this quarter. Additionally, they have been seeking an environmental license and water permits, with plans to build two exploration tunnels into the deposits, where Silvercorp expects to conduct underground detailed drilling.

Silvercorp’s broader growth strategy also includes incubating other companies’ mining projects. Shaver highlighted the company’s investment in New Pacific Metals, stating, “We have a meaningful investment in New Pacific, which is another public company advancing two very attractive-looking silver projects in Bolivia,” during an October interview with Natural Resource Stocks (https://ibn.fm/HzODP). “We’re pretty open-minded to look at what we think could be value-creating, mine-building opportunities for us.”

With rising metal prices, expanding production capacity at Ying, and advancing development activities in Ecuador, Silvercorp enters the next quarter with strong operational momentum and a clear pipeline of growth initiatives.

“His extensive experience and relationships at the highest levels of government, including with FDA and CMS, as well as his business savvy brings a vital perspective to today’s policy environment, from healthcare innovation to long-term economic competitiveness,” said Soligenix President and CEO Christopher J. Schaber. “We plan to work closely with Dr. Philipson as we advance our lead product candidate HyBryte, currently in a confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial, as well as our other fast-tracked rare disease pipeline programs toward marketing approval and commercialization worldwide.”

Soligenix’s lead program HyBryte is a photodynamic therapy that uses synthetic hypericin applied topically to skin lesions in CTCL patients, followed by activation with safe visible light approximately 24 hours later. The treatment is designed to reach deeper skin strata than conventional ultraviolet-based phototherapies and avoids certain risks associated with DNA-damaging modalities. The company is actively enrolling patients in its confirmatory Phase 3 FLASH2 trial for HyBryte, with the goal of ultimately achieving regulatory approval and commercialization in a niche yet underserved rare disease indication.

For investors and stakeholders, the new advisor appointment may act as a meaningful catalyst. Rare-disease biotech companies often face extended timelines, regulatory hurdles and complex reimbursement landscapes. By choosing a strategic adviser with deep policy and regulatory networks, Soligenix is signaling its awareness of these commercial dynamics and its readiness to engage with payors, regulators and strategic partners. Given the upcoming milestones for HyBryte and its other pipeline assets, the timing aligns with a broader push toward commercialization rather than only discovery.

Looking ahead, Soligenix appears to be reinforcing its organizational infrastructure, which is often as important as clinical data, to maximize the value of its assets. The addition of Philipson complements the company’s mission to develop and commercialize products to treat rare diseases where there is an unmet medical need. With the plan to push HyBryte through its confirmatory Phase 3 trial and ultimately into the market, the company is installing tools not only for scientific execution but also for market access and strategic scaling.

In an environment where biotech value is increasingly tied to execution and pathway clarity, the addition of Philipson as an advisor  may help the company position itself for the next stage of growth, including partnerships, licensing or broader commercialization of its rare-disease portfolio. For patients, investors and industry watchers alike, the appointment suggests that Soligenix is readying itself for both clinical and market inflection points.

• Safe Pro Group recently provided an operational update on the company’s progress across its business units – AI, drone services, and ballistics, following some large strategic investments.
• The company’s computer vision technology for drone imagery processing has been validated through real-world usage and demonstrated that it can improve landmine survey productivity and ROI.
• Some other key developments within the operational update include important collaborations and partnerships, the company accelerating solution development and deployment, and expanding its portfolio of ballistic protection products.

Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI), a tech company and developer of AI-powered security and defense solutions, recently provided an operational update about the company’s progress across its business – AI, drone services, and ballistics (https://ibn.fm/Bea04).

This update comes after SPAI received over $20 million in new investments, including a recent $14 million equity investment at $7 per share led by Ondas Holdings Inc., an autonomous drone technology provider.

The company is using the funds to speed up product development and go-to-market strategies at SPAI’s three main subsidiaries, which are Safe Pro AI, Airborne Response, and Safe-Pro USA.

Safe Pro AI

Powered by the company’s Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (“SPOTD”) platform, Safe Pro’s SpotlightAI(TM) drone imagery processing and analysis software uses AI to autonomously find and identify small explosive threats like landmines and unexploded ordnance (“UXO”).

The technology has been validated through analyzing over two million real-world images from operations in Ukraine. A next-gen embedded version of SpotlightAI(TM), called InFlight, is also now being integrated into Red Cat Holding’s Black Widow drone, which is being used by the U.S. Army.

The company has also developed and demonstrated SPOTD NODE (Navigation, Observation & Detection Engine) to U.S. Army stakeholders. Guided by user feedback and based on the company’s experience in Ukraine, SPOTD NODE is an edge-based mapping and drone imagery processing solution that works without internet connectivity to provide quick and effective situational awareness to ground teams in challenging areas.

The company, alongside Norwegian People’s Aid (“NPA”), also recently presented a study that demonstrated that SpotlightAI(TM) can improve demining non-technical survey (“NTS”) productivity by more than 800% and detect 550% more UXO and other explosive remnants of war (“ERW”) per hectare than conventional techniques. The results also showed that it can significantly increase accuracy, while also cutting NTS surveying costs by around 50% per hectare (1 hectare = 2.47 acres).

Airborne Response

Airborne Response, Safe Pro’s drone services subsidiary, has begun support of an autonomous drone-based asset inspection solution. Using self-docking drones from Skydio, Airborne Response’s customers are able to perform fully remote inspections of power infrastructure, which cuts response times and provides useful intelligence for ground teams.

It also continues to improve the Drone-as-a-First Responder (“DFR”) program with a police department in South Florida, which demonstrates that Safe Pro has the capability to improve emergency response and situational awareness in several settings and use cases.

Safe-Pro USA

The company’s ballistic protection unit, Safe-Pro USA is going through the certification process under NIJ 0101.07 standards for a new line of thin and light body armor. This division is also working to finish up ISO 9001 certification, an international standard that verifies a company’s quality management system. Both of these are key requirements to access both state and federal contracts.

Safe-Pro USA is also testing lightweight composite armor kits for government and police vehicles, which are designed to stand up to high-powered rifle fire without impacting the performance of the vehicle.

Speaking about the operational update as a whole, Dan Erdberg, the Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group said that the company is “entering a new phase of execution and scale.”

He also added that, “With a strengthened balance sheet and strong partners in the drone and defense sectors, we are accelerating the deployment of our AI, aerial services and ballistic products to serve critical defense, infrastructure, public safety and Humanitarian missions globally.”

About Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI)

Safe Pro Group is a mission-driven tech company that delivers cutting-edge security and defense solutions to customers within the homeland security, defense, humanitarian, law enforcement, and commercial markets. The company offers a patented AI and ML-driven computer vision software technology to help rapidly detect and identify small objects like landmines and UXO.

• During November 9-11, 2025, Datavault AI participated in three major Veterans Day engagements in the nation’s capital.
• Datavault AI’s involvement in these events aligns with a broader strategic mission: to create verifiable, secured data systems that support legacy, identity and authenticity through technology.
• The company noted that the Valor Preservation Coin functions as a tokenized credential within the VerifyU system, supporting proposed U.S. legislation H.R. 327.

In a powerful intersection of innovation and national service, Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) brought its full technology stack to Washington, D.C., during Veterans Week, underscoring how its credentialing and data-engagement platforms can serve both societal purpose and enterprise value. The company, a leader in data monetization, credentialing and digital engagement technologies, leveraged the series of events to highlight its VerifyU credential-verification platform and the Valor Preservation Coin, marking a notable moment where corporate technology meets public trust (https://ibn.fm/OwWSh).

During November 9-11, 2025, Datavault AI participated in three major engagements in the nation’s capital: the Grand Marshal Dinner at the Ronald Reagan Building, the third annual Veterans Day Parade and a private technology demonstration at the Phoenix Park Hotel. At these events, the company demonstrated its full-suite capabilities, including the VerifyU platform, the ADIO(R) data-over-sound system, and the tokenized Valor Preservation Coin, bringing together government officials, veterans and industry partners to witness how emerging credential technologies may help protect veteran service records and identity.

“Being invited to participate in these historic national events marks an important milestone for Datavault AI,” said Datavault AI Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and co-founder, Nathaniel Bradley. “Our technologies are purpose-built to connect culture, government and commerce in ways that reinforce trust and transparency. The Valor Preservation Coin exemplifies that mission, ensuring proof aligns with purpose and that verified identity remains immutable and protected.”

Datavault AI’s involvement in these events aligns with a broader strategic mission: to create verifiable, secured data systems that support legacy, identity and authenticity through technology. By presenting at high-profile national events connected to veteran recognition, the company underscores both the practical utility of its technologies and the moral imperative behind them. In doing so, it positions itself not just as a technology firm but as a stakeholder in public-service authentication and digital trust, a differentiation that may support its broader enterprise ambitions in credentialing, defense, identity-verification contracts and data monetization.

The company noted that the Valor Preservation Coin functions as a tokenized credential within the VerifyU system, supporting proposed U.S. legislation H.R. 327, the “Valor Earned Not Stolen Act of 2025,” which aims to digitize DD214 documents and prevent fraudulent military service claims through a secure, ledger-based system that meets DoD, NIST, FISMA and VA data-security standards. This intersection of regulation, technology and service is central to Datavault’s value proposition: delivering government-grade credential verification backed by its intellectual-property portfolio and data-engagement platforms.

Datavault AI’s broader platform comprises an Acoustic Science Division (including WiSA(R), ADIO(R) and Sumerian(R) patents) and a Data Science Division supporting Web 3.0, high-performance computing, immersive data experiences and monetizable asset frameworks (https://ibn.fm/wkdsB). The company’s cloud-based solutions span multiple industries, including sports and entertainment, education, fintech, healthcare and real estate, which reinforces its ability to apply credentialing and digital-identity systems across broad market contexts.

By participating in national veterans-recognition events and showcasing its core technologies in forums aligned with public policy, Datavault AI is advancing a narrative of technology meeting purpose. The company’s demonstration highlights how its products may transition from innovation labs into real-world applications for both public-sector and commercial clients. For investors and observers, this demonstrates a tangible step in the company’s evolution, from technology creation to deployment, public-purpose alignment and market readiness.

As the company continues to move its VerifyU and Valor Preservation Coin initiatives forward, its presence in veteran-recognition forums provides a window into how it seeks to scale its platform from outset to enterprise-grade deployment.
