Fobi AI Is Building Toward The Deloitte Of The AI + Web3 Era

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:40 PM on Thursday, October 2nd, 2025

 

A RARE COMEBACK STORY

In a market where most halted small-cap companies never return, Fobi AI has defied expectations. Under a cease-trade order since November 2024, the company didn’t fade into obscurity—the company reported nearly $3 million in 2024 revenue, including approximately $2.2 million from the sale of its German subsidiary.

As CEO Rob Anson put it:

“Most companies would have folded under these circumstances. We fought through every obstacle legal, financial, and market-driven and we’re coming back stronger than ever.”

FROM SURVIVAL TO STRATEGY

Fobi turned a year of constraint into a year of transformation:

  • Consolidated operations with an annual run rate under $1.3M, enabling scale with fewer than 10 employees 
  • Redirected capital from the Passcreator sale into next-gen AI-powered wallet platforms 
  • Positioned itself as a lean, execution-first company with live products in the market

ENTERING A MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR ARENA

The company isn’t merely returning, it’s relaunching with sharper focus. Fobi’s ambition is to become the “Deloitte of the AI + Web3 era,” offering enterprises not just strategy, but real-time implementation through integrated wallets, identity verification, and automation platforms. With applications across stadiums, airports, healthcare, and finance, the addressable market spans multiple sectors.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR INVESTORS

  • Clear Market Fit: Enterprise clients need AI integration that traditional consultants can’t deliver 
  • Execution Edge: Products are live, scalable, and already generating client interest

LOOKING AHEAD

Fobi’s comeback is more than a return to trading—it is a reset. With tangible revenues, streamlined operations, and a future-focused product suite, the company is positioning itself as one of the rare small-cap survivors with the potential to thrive in the AI and Web3 economy. For investors, this represents a strategic reset rather than just a recovery, as the company builds toward its next growth phase.

Magma Silver Targets District-Scale Discovery Thanks To Historical Work By Majors

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:42 PM on Wednesday, September 24th, 2025

“This is the easiest mining project I’ve seen in 40 years — on or near surface, high recovery rates, and significant upside the majors left untapped.” CEO Stephen Barley

A LEGACY OF MAJOR INVESTMENT

With gold at record highs and silver at a 14-year peak, Magma Silver Corp. (CSE: MGMA / OTCQB: MAGMF) is advancing a flagship Peruvian project that has already seen $14.5 million in exploration by majors including Newmont, AngloGold, and Bear Creek. Today, Magma is applying modern geological modeling to unlock the full value of what those majors left behind.

WHY THIS PROJECT MATTERS

  • DISTRICT-SCALE SYSTEM: The property spans 40 km², including an 8 km by 2 km anomalous zone with multiple gold and silver targets.

  • CLEAN SILVER ADVANTAGE: Unlike many deposits labeled “silver equivalent,” Magma’s system has pure silver with no contaminant metals — a rare and attractive characteristic.

  • JUMPSTART ON RESOURCE: With access to Newmont’s 65 drill holes and data, Magma can fast-track toward a compliant resource.
  • PERU SILVER RECORD:  Peru is one of the world’s top jurisdictions for silver and gold exploration as the 3rd largest silver producer globally – and a top 15 mining jurisdiction worldwide.

DRILLING AND RESULTS WILL BEGIN TO FLOW IN 2025

Magma’s Phase 1 sampling confirmed high-grade results, including 14 g/t gold and 311 g/t silver in surface samples. Drilling begins mid-November with six holes planned, and results expected before year-end — setting the stage for steady news flow through 2026.

RWA TOKENIZATION IS ON THE TABLE

The company is exploring real asset tokenization to monetize gold in the ground while minimizing dilution — an innovative financing path rarely seen at this stage. Longer term, Magma sees precedent in the Alamo Dorado Project, a discovery that sold for over $100 million when silver was just $5/oz.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

At a market cap of just ~$6M CAD, Magma Silver offers investors:

  • A project already advanced by global majors

  • Proven high-grade sampling results consistent with majors

  • District-scale exploration potential

  • And a management team with a track record of successful discoveries and financings.

With drilling underway and catalysts imminent, Magma Silver is positioning itself as one of Peru’s next major gold-silver stories at a time when the sector is gaining global momentum.

AI-Powered Exploration: Lancaster Resources Unlocking Gold and Critical Minerals in World-Class Districts

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:25 PM on Monday, September 15th, 2025

Lancaster Resources Inc. (CSE: LCR | OTC: LANRF | FRA: 6UF0) is a Canadian exploration company advancing a portfolio of projects in some of the world’s most prolific mining jurisdictions. With assets spanning Australia, Canada, and the United States, Lancaster focuses on two main sectors: precious metals, such as gold, and critical minerals, including uranium and polymetallic resources.

This global approach positions Lancaster to play a role in supporting clean energy transitions while also participating in the ongoing demand for gold as a reliable store of value. The company’s strategy centers on systematic exploration using advanced technology, including AI-assisted targeting and geophysical modeling, to identify high-value deposits with precision.

The Lake Cargelligo Gold Project – A Historic District in Australia
At the heart of Lancaster’s portfolio is the Lake Cargelligo Gold Project, located in New South Wales, Australia. This district-scale property covers 28,768 hectares and lies within the renowned Cobar Mining District, a region with a rich history of gold production.

What makes Lake Cargelligo stand out is its combination of scale and untapped potential:
Extensive Strike Length: More than 25 kilometers of prospective ground.

Historic High-Grade Results: Rock chip samples have returned up to 204 g/t gold and 273 g/t silver, while channel sampling recorded up to 16m @ 5.83 g/t gold and 7.20 g/t silver.

Proximity to Infrastructure: Just 60 kilometers from the producing Mineral Hill Mine, which provides strategic access to roads and services.

To date, no modern geophysics have been applied to this project, meaning that large portions of the property remain underexplored. Lancaster’s 2025 exploration program will introduce cutting-edge mapping, rock and soil sampling, and targeted drilling. This phase will be guided by a maiden NI 43-101 technical report, which is currently underway and scheduled for completion by August 31, 2025.

Expanding in Canada: Uranium and Polymetallic Projects
Beyond Australia, Lancaster holds significant ground in Canada, one of the world’s premier mining nations. In Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, the company controls two early-stage uranium projects: Catley Lake and Centennial East.
These properties are located near major Cameco holdings, including the Centennial deposit, which has returned uranium grades up to 8.78% U3O8 over 33.9 meters. Lancaster plans to leverage hyperspectral imaging and surface mapping to define exploration targets in this high-potential area. With nuclear energy gaining global momentum as a clean and reliable power source, these projects give Lancaster strategic exposure to a critical sector.

In Quebec’s James Bay region, Lancaster recently completed the acquisition of the Lac Iris Polymetallic Project, adding approximately 694 hectares of land to its portfolio. The project is strategically located near Power Nickel’s Nisk and Lion discoveries and Li-FT Power’s Rupert Lithium Project. It lies along a geological trend known for hosting both polymetallic and lithium-rich pegmatite deposits, enhancing Lancaster’s exposure to multiple minerals.

A Strategy of Sustainable Discovery
Lancaster’s approach to exploration blends innovation with environmental responsibility. The company’s plans include the use of AI-powered targeting through collaborations with technology partners like KorrAI, which helps streamline fieldwork while reducing environmental impact.

This modern, data-driven methodology enables Lancaster to identify high-priority targets more efficiently, minimizing unnecessary disturbance to the land. By focusing on smart exploration techniques, the company aims to unlock resources that support both global electrification and traditional precious metal markets.

What’s Next:
As Lancaster moves into the next phase of development, 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year. Key milestones include the launch of fieldwork at Lake Cargelligo, technical reporting, and new exploration campaigns in Canada’s uranium and polymetallic districts.
With a diversified portfolio, global reach, and a disciplined approach, Lancaster Resources continues to establish itself as a company with the expertise and vision to advance projects that are essential to the modern economy.

Kidoz Turns Privacy into Profit with a Record-Breaking H1 Revenue of US $5.17 Million

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 10:48 AM on Friday, September 12th, 2025

A Glimpse into the Magic of Safe Mobile Advertising

Meet Kidoz Inc.—a tech-savvy disruptor reshaping the mobile advertising industry. They’ve built a powerhouse platform that brings ads directly to mobile gamers, and they’ve just celebrated an impressive milestone: US$5.17 million in revenue for the first half of 2025—a 21% year-over-year bump, and the best start in the company’s history. Kidoz is the go-to choice for app developers and big-name brands who prioritize both performance and privacy.

Why Kidoz Stands Out in a Crowded AdTech Arena

  • Privacy First, Advertising Always Eye-Opening
    Kidoz delivers ads powered by context, not personal profiles—fully compliant with COPPA, GDPR-K, and global regulations. With the rise of privacy laws, their approach isn’t just smart; it’s future-proof.

  • Bringing Ads Directly to the Action
    They don’t just serve ads. They embed brand messages right into game environments where millions of users are already engaged.

  • Born from Tech, Built to Engage
    The team behind Kidoz comes from software and gaming backgrounds. They’ve designed an ad experience that’s not just safe—but interactive and relevant.

  • Trusted by Icons of Childhood
    Select brands such as LEGO, Mattel, Disney, and Kraft rely on Kidoz to reach younger audiences safely—and effectively.

Strong Numbers, Smarter Investments

The financial highlight reel:

  • H1 2025 Revenue: US$5,168,519, up 21% from H1 2024

  • Q2 Revenue: US$2,430,216 (a slight dip, but a resilient follow-up amid tariff uncertainties)

  • Cash Position (June 30): US$2.43 million with working capital of US$3.28 million

Despite investing heavily—Marketing up 95% YoY, R&D up 48%—Kidoz continues executing with discipline. Their CEO, Jason Williams, summed it up:

“We are building for scale across technology, operations, and now sales… Brand advertisers are choosing Kidoz with larger budgets.”

Surfing Three Major Waves of AdTech Change

Kidoz is perfectly positioned to ride tech’s most exciting currents:

  1. Privacy-First Regulation: As laws tighten across the globe, their compliant model is now a clear advantage.

  2. Programmatic Advertising Growth: With new tools aimed at direct brand deals, Kidoz is expanding beyond the traditional ad marketplace.

  3. Booming Mobile Gaming Audience: With billions playing games, delivering contextual ads to that audience is the next frontier—and Kidoz is already there.

What’s Next? The Half-Year Wins Are Just the Beginning

The company is confident that H2 2025 will push this year into record territory, with renewed advertiser momentum and growing demand.

Kidoz’s trajectory is clear: they’ve turned commitment to safe advertising into both profit and trust. With strong financials, smart investments, and a firm grip on privacy-first innovation, Kidoz isn’t just growing—they’re leading.

Bottom line: Kidoz has taken the industry’s toughest demand—advertising without violating privacy—and turned it into their signature strength. This isn’t just an ad network. It’s the blueprint for how advertising should work in the digital age.

HPQ Silicon Granted $3M From Canadian Government To Manufacture Silicon Anode Batteries In Canada

Posted by Alavaro Coronel at 8:45 AM on Friday, September 12th, 2025

“Projects like HPQ Silicon’s strengthen Canada’s ability to manufacture components for high-performance batteries, and are creating a world-class battery ecosystem…” – The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources

 

“Canada is taking action to build a nation that is ready to unlock the strength, potential and innovation of our workers, businesses, and resources. The work being done by HPQ Silicon is a key part of that goal.” Claude Guay, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources

 

WHAT’S NEW

HPQ Silicon $HPQ / $HPQFF announced it has been awarded up to C$3 million in federal funding to accelerate commercialization of its silicon-based anode materials—a key component that can increase the capacity of lithium-ion batteries. The funding is non-dilutive (no new shares issued) and is aimed at moving from lab success to scaled manufacturing.

WHY IT MATTERS

Silicon anodes can store more energy than conventional graphite alone, but historically they’ve faced swelling and durability issues. HPQ Silicon has addressed major integration challenges and produced commercial-grade material designed to deliver meaningful performance gains over 1,000 charge cycles—a hurdle that has limited broader adoption.

COMMERCIAL PATH AND TIMING 

CEO Bernard Tourillon outlines a near-term plan to scale production capacity and finalize equipment manufacturing with its R&D and engineering partners over the next 3–6 months. The goal: move from pilot output to an initial commercial line sized for meaningful cell volumes, with the company referencing a 50-ton per year material system as a stepping stone to larger deployments.

3RD PARTY VALIDATION 

Beyond the federal award, HPQ emphasized that the funding came after a rigorous, multi-stage government review process that effectively validates its technology and commercial approach. The company continues to work closely with its specialist R&D partner to refine the production system and has already been invited to participate in upcoming industry and government showcases, underscoring its role in Canada’s broader battery ecosystem. Together, these elements provide not just financial support, but also external recognition that positions HPQ as a credible player in the emerging market for advanced battery materials.

MARKET POTENTIAL

Bernard Tourillon underscored that the demand for more efficient batteries is only increasing, driven by rising global energy needs—even as active populations plateau. He highlighted that industry experts view lithium-based batteries enhanced with graphite and silicon as the long-term path forward, much like how solar technology became the dominant standard after years of incremental improvement. HPQ’s silicon anode material, validated through government funding, is designed to integrate directly into existing battery production lines. This positions both HPQ and Canada to be competitive players in a market that will continue to expand as efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness remain top priorities worldwide.

THE TAKEAWAY

The interview frames a credible multi step-change for HPQ: government validation, non-dilutive capital, a defined 3–6 month scale-up plan, and a cost pathway via continuous processing. Execution remains key, but the risk-reward has improved as the company moves from “talking the talk” to building capacity for commercial orders

Draganfly Expands U.S. Manufacturing and Showcases Tactical Drone Capabilities Amid Strong Q2 Growth

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 3:16 PM on Wednesday, September 10th, 2025

Expansion of manufacturing complements live demonstrations and rising revenue momentum

Introduction

Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO | CSE: DPRO | FSE: 3U8), a pioneer in drone innovation, is making significant strides on multiple fronts. The company recently expanded its U.S. manufacturing capacity while simultaneously validating its cutting-edge Commander 3XL and Flex FPV platforms in high-stakes U.S. military exercises. These developments come as Draganfly reports a 37% year-over-year increase in product sales for Q2 2025, reflecting both growing market demand and operational execution. Together, these milestones position Draganfly as a leader in scalable, mission-ready drone solutions built in North America.

Background and Context

With over 25 years of industry leadership, Draganfly has built a reputation for engineering excellence across public safety, industrial, and defense sectors. Its modular drone portfolio ranges from heavy-lift logistics drones to agile FPV reconnaissance systems, providing adaptable solutions for complex missions.

At the same time, U.S. defense policy is shifting decisively toward domestic production. The Department of Defense has called for accelerated drone manufacturing to strengthen national security and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers. Draganfly’s expansion directly supports this goal by increasing its U.S.-based production capabilities while ensuring compliance with defense procurement standards.

Operational Validation at T-REX 24-2

Between August 19–28, Draganfly participated in the U.S. Department of Defense’s T-REX 24-2 exercise at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. Out of hundreds of applicants, only four companies were invited to demonstrate FPV drone capabilities in this rigorous, live-operational environment.

  • Commander 3XL: Successfully executed multi-drop payload deliveries using its universal tactical system, proving its value as a battlefield force multiplier.
  • Flex FPV: Delivered ultra-low-latency intelligence in GPS-denied and constrained environments, including live “over-the-shoulder” targeting support for allied forces.

Draganfly CEO Cameron Chell stated,

“T-REX 24-2 was an important validation of our UAV systems under operational stress, showcasing the critical versatility and survivability that modern missions demand.”

This event highlighted Draganfly’s position as one of the few domestic manufacturers capable of delivering interoperable, modular, and NATO-aligned platforms that can rapidly adapt to mission needs.

Building Resilience Through U.S. Manufacturing Expansion

In tandem with its operational success, Draganfly announced a significant expansion of its U.S. manufacturing footprint, adding AS9100- and ISO9001-certified facilities through its contract manufacturing partners.

This initiative:

  • Strengthens supply chain resilience and redundancy
  • Reduces production timelines for mission-critical drones
  • Aligns with new U.S. defense directives promoting domestic manufacturing

Chell explained,

“Expanding our U.S. manufacturing footprint helps us deliver faster for our customers while supporting a more secure and self-reliant drone ecosystem.”

Strong Q2 2025 Financial Performance

Draganfly’s growth is further underscored by its Q2 2025 financial results, demonstrating rising demand across defense, public safety, and commercial sectors:

  • Revenue: $2.1M, up 22.1% year-over-year
  • Product Sales: $1.9M, up 37.1% year-over-year
  • Gross Profit: $504,592, reflecting improved operational efficiencies
  • Cash Position: $22.57M as of June 30, 2025, compared to $6.25M at year-end 2024

These results reflect expanding market adoption of Draganfly’s platforms, including recent defense contracts and new international partnerships.

Future Growth and Strategic Positioning

Draganfly’s dual advancements—proving its technology in the field and scaling production domestically—create a powerful foundation for future growth. With rising demand for U.S.-made, NDAA-compliant systems, the company is well-positioned to compete for long-term defense and homeland security contracts.

Additionally, its expanding portfolio, which includes demining solutions with SafeLane Global and medical delivery drones for humanitarian missions, aligns with both military and civilian applications. This versatility enhances Draganfly’s resilience in a dynamic market.

Conclusion

Draganfly’s recent progress represents a convergence of operational excellence, strategic foresight, and financial strength. By demonstrating its drones under real-world military conditions while simultaneously expanding its U.S. production capabilities, the company has taken a critical step toward meeting the urgent needs of defense and public safety sectors.

As national priorities shift toward secure, domestic drone production, Draganfly’s proven track record and growing capacity position it as a pivotal player in the evolution of North America’s drone ecosystem.

HPQ Powers Ahead With Capacity of 1.5M Batteries Per Year

Posted by Alavaro Coronel at 10:19 AM on Tuesday, September 9th, 2025

UNLOCKING COMMERCIAL SCALE: 1.5M CELLS TODAY, SCALABLE TO 40M

HPQ Silicon $HPQ / $HPQFF is moving from promise to proof. In our latest interview, CEO Bernard Tourillon explains how the company is translating lab-scale production into commercial opportunity—projecting annual output of 1.5 million high-performance HPQ ENDURA+ lithium-ion cells powered by its proprietary silicon-based anode material.

The message is clear: HPQ is not just developing next-generation materials. It is showing the market it can scale.

COMMERCIALIZATION PATH

HPQ’s strategy combines two critical moves:

  • HPQ ENDURA+ 18650 batteries showcase the performance edge of silicon anodes, extending cycle life up to 1,000 charges.

  • Controlled supply chain ensures HPQ can deliver product and prove capacity to partners.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

The silicon anode materials market is forecast to reach $130 billion within a few years. HPQ’s ability to produce cells at scale positions it to capture early niche markets such as e-bikes, power tools, and drones—sectors where agile small caps can gain share before competing with global giants.

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK

Tourillon frames the company’s approach as “low-capex, high-margin.” By leveraging subcontractors for assembly, HPQ minimizes upfront risk while maximizing value creation. Scaling from 2 tons to 50 tons of material capacity could expand output from 1.5M to as much as 40M cells per year—transforming lab innovation into industrial-scale business.

“With just 2 tons of silicon anode material, we can make 1.5 million batteries. That’s the power of our technology—and why industry partners are starting to take notice.” — Bernard Tourillon, CEO

BOTTOM LINE FOR INVESTORS

HPQ is positioning itself as a disruptive small-cap contender in one of the fastest-growing markets in energy storage. With capacity projections now quantified and industry interest building, the company is entering commercialization with the potential for transformative growth.

This is more than a milestone—it’s an inflection point in HPQ’s strategy to secure its place in the global battery supply chain.
