Turning Mine Waste Into Opportunity: How BacTech Is Redefining Sustainable Mining

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 4:24 PM on Tuesday, March 24th, 2026

BacTech Environmental Corporation is advancing a different approach to mining, one that focuses not only on extracting valuable metals, but also on addressing the environmental legacy left behind. With more than three decades of experience in bioleaching, the company is working to transform toxic mine waste into stable, environmentally safe materials while recovering metals such as gold, silver, copper, cobalt, and nickel.

At a time when sustainability and resource efficiency are becoming central to the global mining industry, BacTech’s model positions it at the intersection of environmental remediation and resource recovery. Its approach reflects a broader shift in how mining companies and governments are thinking about waste, responsibility, and long-term value creation.

A Proven Technology Built on Nature

At the core of BacTech’s strategy is bioleaching, a process that uses naturally occurring bacteria to break down sulphide minerals. This allows valuable metals to be extracted from difficult materials such as concentrates and tailings, while harmful elements like arsenic are stabilized into environmentally safe forms.

Unlike traditional high-temperature methods such as smelting or roasting, BacTech’s process is water-based and designed to operate without generating arsenic-bearing emissions. This provides a cleaner alternative for processing materials that have historically been considered problematic or uneconomic.

The company’s track record includes the successful development of three commercial bioleach plants under prior licensing agreements in Australia and China. Today, BacTech is transitioning from a licensing model to building, owning, and operating its own projects, allowing it to capture more value from its technology.

The Tenguel Project: A Flagship Step Forward

A central focus for BacTech is its fully permitted bioleach facility in Tenguel–Ponce Enríquez, Ecuador. Designed to process high-arsenic gold concentrates, the project represents a significant step toward commercial-scale operations.

Phase 1 of the project is planned at 50 tonnes per day, with expected production of approximately 35,000 ounces of gold annually. The project has been structured with scalability in mind, with a planned expansion to 250 tonnes per day and production exceeding 100,000 ounces per year.

In addition to its production profile, the project benefits from a Government of Ecuador Investment Protection Agreement, which provides tax stability, property rights protections, and a 12-year income tax exemption. This framework supports long-term operational planning while aligning with the company’s objective of delivering both environmental and economic benefits.

Zero Tailings™: Expanding Beyond Gold

Beyond its Ecuador operations, BacTech is advancing its patent-pending Zero Tailings™ initiative in Sudbury, Canada. This technology is designed to recover critical minerals from legacy mine waste, including materials rich in iron sulphides.

The process aims to extract metals such as nickel, cobalt, and copper while converting by-products into saleable materials, including magnetite and ammonium sulphate fertilizer. By eliminating the need for long-term tailings storage and reducing environmental liabilities, the approach aligns with circular economy principles and emerging sustainability standards.

Importantly, the Zero Tailings™ concept is modular, allowing for staged deployment and scalability. This creates flexibility in how projects are developed and integrated into existing mining operations.

Aligning Environmental Responsibility With Economic Value

BacTech’s strategy is built on a simple premise: environmental stewardship and economic performance can coexist. By focusing on materials that are often avoided due to their complexity or environmental risk, the company is targeting opportunities where both remediation and resource recovery are needed.

Its approach also supports broader industry trends, including increasing regulatory pressure, the push for lower-emission processing methods, and growing demand for critical minerals. At the same time, its projects contribute to local economic development by creating employment and improving environmental conditions in mining regions.

A New Model for the Mining Industry

As the mining sector continues to evolve, BacTech Environmental is positioning itself as part of a new model—one that rethinks how resources are extracted, processed, and managed over the long term.

By combining proven bioleaching technology with a focus on environmental outcomes and scalable project development, the company is working to demonstrate that mining can be both responsible and productive.

In doing so, BacTech is not only addressing the challenges of today’s mining industry, but also helping shape what a more sustainable future for the sector could look like.

Tartisan Nickel Reports Broad Nickel-Copper Intercept At Kenbridge As Phase 1 Drilling Builds Momentum

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 4:18 PM on Monday, March 16th, 2026

Hole KB26-210 Returns 24.6 Metres Of Nickel-Copper Mineralization, Including Higher-Grade Intervals Within A Wider Zone

For investors following the critical minerals space, Tartisan Nickel Corp.’s latest drill results from the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project add another important piece to the story unfolding at depth.

The Company has reported results from hole KB26-210, the fourth completed hole in its 2026 Phase 1 drill program, highlighted by 24.6 metres grading 0.71% nickel and 0.56% copper in the A Zone. Within that broader interval, Tartisan also reported 6.1 metres grading 1.17% nickel and 1.45% copper, along with 2.0 metres grading 1.73% nickel and 0.31% copper. The B Zone returned an additional 5.8 metres grading 0.27% nickel and 0.24% copper.

The result adds a broad nickel-copper intercept to the current program and gives the Company another data point as it works to better define the Kenbridge deposit below existing underground development.

A Program Designed To Test Size And Depth Potential

Kenbridge, located in the Kenora Mining District near Sioux Narrows in northwestern Ontario, is Tartisan’s flagship project. According to the Company, the Phase 1 drill campaign was designed to test the deposit both along strike and down dip, with the objective of enhancing the size and grade potential of the system.

So far, Tartisan says it has completed 3,191 metres of drilling across the first four targets: KB26-207, KB26-208, KB26-209, and KB26-210. Drill core samples were submitted to AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay for analysis.

In the latest update, the Company said KB26-210 intersected both the A Zone and the B Zone, with estimated true widths ranging from 65% to 80% of reported core lengths.

A Broader Mineralized Zone Emerging At Depth

What stands out in the new release is the width of the A Zone intercept.

Tartisan described the 24.6-metre interval as a significant result and stated that the deposit appears to be flaring outward at depth. That matters because broader mineralized intervals can help build the geological picture as the Company evaluates continuity and potential expansion below the existing shaft bottom.

Within the wider interval, the presence of higher-grade sections adds further interest to the result and may help guide future technical work as the Kenbridge system is drilled deeper and more systematically.

CEO Mark Appleby said the Company is encouraged by the outcome, noting that the result supports continuity of significant nickel-copper mineralization and adds confidence to the broader resource potential at Kenbridge.

Existing Underground Infrastructure Sets Kenbridge Apart

Kenbridge is not an early-stage grassroots project.

The project already benefits from all-season road access and includes an existing shaft to a depth of 2,042 feet, or 622 metres, according to the Company. Tartisan also stated that level stations occur at 150-foot intervals below the collar, with developed levels at 350 feet and 500 feet.

That existing infrastructure provides important context for the current drill campaign, particularly as the Company continues testing below the known underground workings.

Phase 2 Already Taking Shape

Tartisan said the program is pausing briefly for spring break-up, with Borehole EM planned for the completed Phase 1 holes before Phase 2 drilling begins this spring.

That next step is important because it shows KB26-210 is not being presented as a one-off result. Instead, it forms part of a broader sequence of drilling and geophysical work intended to improve understanding of the deposit and support the next stage of project advancement.

The technical information in the release was reviewed and approved by Dean MacEachern, P.Geo., an independent consultant and Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Tartisan also outlined its QA/QC procedures, including the use of certified reference materials, blanks, duplicates, and analytical work completed through AGAT Laboratories.

Why This Matters

Tartisan Nickel’s latest update adds a broad nickel-copper intercept to the growing body of technical results coming out of Kenbridge in 2026.

With Phase 1 drilling completed, Borehole EM work on deck, and Phase 2 expected to begin this spring, the Company continues to move Kenbridge forward through a steady sequence of technical steps. For investors watching the critical minerals sector, KB26-210 offers another indication that the Kenbridge system warrants continued attention as drilling pushes deeper into the deposit.

Gold Without Mining: nGRND is defining the sustainable ownership of the world’s oldest store of value

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:54 PM on Monday, February 2nd, 2026

Gold is trading at historic highs, with analysts projecting continued strength into 2026 and beyond. Yet for junior and senior developers, the traditional path to mining gold still comes with major challenges: mining is expensive, slow, and often environmentally and socially destructive.

There are, however, high barriers to entry for investors. The opportunity to benefit from these historic highs in the price of gold are made difficult by the limited supply, substantial costs of physical storage, security, auditability, insurance, shifts towards more sustainable investments and significant premiums over the spot price. While modern financial instruments like Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and digital gold tokens have improved accessibility, traditional, high-trust forms of investment remain restricted by high capital requirements and limited, in many regions, to high-net-worth individuals or institutional players.

That tension is exactly where nGRND believes the next evolution of gold ownership begins.

In a recent interview with AGORACOM founder George Tsiolis, Professor Lisa Wilson, the CEO of nGRND Inc., outlined a new model that challenges centuries of convention: what if gold could create economic value without ever being mined?

Rather than extracting gold, nGRND focuses on acquiring the long-term rights to sites with known verified in-ground gold Mineral Resources and enables their monetisation through alternative land usage from avoided mining. nGRND sponsor a fully regulated and licensed issuer to generate real world 100% asset-backed ownership structures – allowing the verified gold to remain untouched beneath the surface in-ground.

“We go out to globally to find known, verified Mineral Resources” Professor Wilson explained, “procure those assets for a minimum of 30 years, and create an alternative way of valuing and monetising that gold in-ground.”

The outcome is a new category of sustainable gold ownership designed for a world where investors are increasingly expecting hard-asset stability and environmental accountability.

Unlocking the value from gold that is currently uneconomical to mine.

One of the most striking points in the interview is the sheer scale of verified gold that already exists in the ground—but remains economically stranded.

Wilson noted that there are nearly six billion ounces of known in-situ gold resources globally. Much of it is held by junior developers and exploration companies, many based in Canada. Yet these ounces often remain unmonetised because advancing a project to production is an enormous undertaking and in many cases currently uneconomical.

Key barriers include:

  • Long development timelines, often 7 to 20 years
  • Massive capital requirements to build a mine
  • Permitting complexity and increasingly difficult environmental approvals
  • Sites that may be currently uneconomical or environmentally sensitive

For many resource owners, this leaves gold trapped in a frustrating limbo: valuable in theory, but difficult to turn into an economic reality.

nGRND’s proposition is to change that equation.

nGRND Inc. offers an alternative monetisation pathway that keeps the gold in-situ while still recognising its value proposition.

A new value proposition for verified resource owners

Traditionally, junior development companies seeking liquidity or capital for further development are often forced to sell assets at steep discounts to major producers or obtain royalty and streaming agreements.

Professor Wilson described conventional in-ground transactions as frequently yielding at the top end only $60 to $90 per ounce, and often sometimes far less.

nGRND offers something materially different.

According to Professor Wilson, the company aims to provide resource owners roughly 250% more than traditional in-situ pricing, which is approximately $210 to $220 per ounce at current gold levels – while allowing them to retain land ownership and avoid decades of uncertainty.

This liquidity can then be used to:

  • Strengthen balance sheets
  • Continue exploration and resource classification upgrading
  • Reduce dependence on dilutive financing
  • Potentially return value to shareholders

In Professor Wilson’s words this gives junior developers “cash on their books” and an option beyond “crumbs” offered by the traditional system.

Gold as a store of value – whilst in remains underground

A natural question arises: If the gold stays underground, how can it still function as an asset?

Professor Wilson’s answer is simple: Gold is gold, whether it is above ground or still in the earth. It has the same properties in-situ as extracted. The only thing you cannot do is wear it!

Lisa offered a modern analogy:

“Every time you look at your digital bank account, you don’t physically see the cash – but you still recognise it as value.”

In nGRND’s view, verified in-ground gold can serve the same purpose as physical gold stored in a vault, as a scarce, real store of value, but preserved rather than extracted.

Regulated real-world asset ownership through Tokinvest

A defining feature of nGRND’s approach is its emphasis on verification and regulatory structure.

The company does not generate or issue tokens directly. Instead, it sponsors the development of a 100% asset-backed gold ownership structure generated, issued and sold by Tokinvest, a licensed and VARA-regulated entity in Dubai.

Professor Wilson stressed that this regulated architecture is part of what differentiates nGRND from earlier, unsuccessful attempts to digitise in-ground gold ownership.

Key safeguards include:

  • Auditability, provenance and verification of the gold
  • Resource verification must meet recognised standards such as NI 43-101, JORC, or SAMREC, or equivalent
  • Tokens remain in an Token Generation Event (TGE) escrow pool until they are fully backed by contracted verified ounces obatined through nGRND Inc Site Programmes
  • nGRND Gold Tokens are only released by Tokinvest when they are 100% backed by an equivalent verified gold resource

“No verification, no tokens,” Wilson emphasised.

This framework is designed to expand the potential investor base beyond retail participants to include volume trades by institutions already familiar with gold ETFs and regulated commodity products.

A parallel revenue engine: ESG and Carbon Programmes

nGRND’s model extends beyond gold.

By keeping gold in the ground  – what Professor Wilson calls “avoided mining” nGRND Inc. enables alternative land-use programmes that can generate additional revenue independent of gold price movements.

These Site Programmes will have Carbon and ESG feasibility , invesatbility and origination conducted by independent partners CarbonPlanet and Foresteam. The Site Programmes will include:

  • Carbon offset standards accrediting origination from greater than 540 methodologies
  • Land rehabilitation and biodiversity restoration
  • Renewable energy development
  • Environmental restoration of brownfield sites

Crucially, Wilson explained that these programmes remain structurally separate from the gold-backed asset itself.

The gold ownership structure is treated as a commodity-backed asset, while ESG and carbon revenues form an independent dual distribution stream for nGRND Inc and nGRND Gold Token holders.

In Professor Wilson’s framing, this creates investment exposure to two uncorrelated commodity assets and themes:

  • Gold as a store of value and traditional commodity
  • Carbon and environmental assets as a rapidly emerging and high growth asset class

Early momentum and a 2026 rollout timeline

nGRND Inc has only just exited “stealth mode”, but Professor Wilson indicated that traction has materialised quickly and very strongly during its development and the weeks post.

“Before we even exited stealth mode, we had a signed LOI to take over a property,” Lisa said, adding that the company has already surpassed its internal 2029 mineral ounce pipeline targets.

The company expects the Token Generation Event by Tokinvest to occur around April 2026, with regulated professional and retail access to follow shortly thereafter through Tokinvest.

This rollout is structured, verification-gated, and designed to scale over time as additional site programmes are secured.

Why investors are paying attention now?

nGRND Inc. sits at the intersection of several powerful global forces:

  • Rising gold demand in uncertain macro environments
  • Increasing investor focus on sustainability and ESG accountability
  • Institutional adoption of regulated digital asset infrastructure
  • A growing need to separate resource value from environmental cost

In short, nGRND is positioning itself with the vision of being the world’s largest resource company who don’t mine!

The bottom line: A structural shift in how gold Is monetised

For centuries, gold ownership has depended on extraction.

nGRND is delivering something fundamentally different. Verified gold can be monetised, preserved, and owned sustainably – without the delays, costs, and environmental disruption of mining.

With long-term control of Site Programmes with known verified in-ground resources, regulated issuance through Tokinvest, and parallel ESG and carbon programme development through CarbonPlanet and Foresteam, nGRND is advancing a model that will reshape how the world thinks about natural wealth.

As Professor Wilson put it:

“Gold is gold. Whether it is above ground or in the ground, it has the same properties as a store of value. We have created a way to monetise it without destroying the land or waiting decades to build a mine.”

For investors watching the evolution of real-world asset ownership, sustainable finance, and gold’s role in the modern economy, nGRND is emerging as one of the most innovative and closely watched new entrants in the space.

Silver Just Broke Records – Here’s Why And How It Helps Magma Silver

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 10:59 AM on Monday, January 12th, 2026

Silver climbed to a fresh all-time high above ~$84.5 per ounce on January 12, 2026, riding a powerful surge that’s grabbing global attention. This isn’t incremental – it’s historic, driven by a mix of macro stress and structural demand that’s lifted silver alongside gold to new peaks.

Big Picture: What’s Happening Right Now

Record High: Silver hit levels not seen before, pushing past previous ceilings as investor demand spiked.

Market Backdrop: Safe-haven flows amid geopolitical tensions and political uncertainty in the U.S. have boosted precious metals buying.

Dollar Weakness: A softer U.S. dollar is making dollar-priced commodities like silver cheaper for global buyers – further lifting prices.

This move comes as gold also sets records, underscoring a broader shift into metals traditionally viewed as stores of value in times of uncertainty.

What’s Driving It – Quickly

1.⁠ ⁠Global Uncertainty and Safe-Haven Demand

Investors are rushing into metals as political and financial risk rises, pushing silver prices upward fast.

2.⁠ ⁠Technical Breakout Amid Weak Dollar

A softer dollar amplifies commodity rallies, and silver’s recent breakout above key price levels has triggered fresh buying momentum.

3.⁠ ⁠Structural Demand + Tightness

Industrial uses (solar, electronics, EVs) and limited mine expansion are reinforcing long-term price support, layering fundamental demand on top of today’s sentiment trade.

Why Retail Investors Should Pay Attention

Silver is no longer a sleepy commodity. This record run signals:

Heightened market risk sentiment.

Potential for continued volatility – and opportunity. 

A dual narrative: both refuge and industrial demand are pushing prices.

Bottom Line

Silver’s record price today isn’t a fluke – it’s a message. Investors are pricing in uncertainty while industrial demand continues to grow. For retail investors looking at metals, this breakout is a clear signal to pay attention.

Fobi AI Nears Market Return After Rebuild Anchored by Autonomous Enterprise AI

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:06 PM on Wednesday, December 17th, 2025

In the world of public markets, few events are as disruptive—or as fatal—as a cease-trade order. Most companies slow to a crawl. Many never recover.
Fobi AI, however, appears to be an exception.

During a recent in-depth interview, Fobi AI President and CEO Rob Anson, joined by Chief Technology Officer Uddeshya Agrawal, detailed how the company used its time under a trading halt not to retreat, but to rebuild—emerging with a leaner cost structure, a redefined enterprise strategy, and a proprietary artificial-intelligence platform now operating at scale.

The discussion revealed a company approaching a pivotal moment: the completion of its 2025 audit, a partial revocation order already in hand, and preparations underway for a full trading resumption early in the new year.

A Rare Feat Under a Cease-Trade Order

Fobi AI has been under a cease-trade order since November 2024. Yet, unlike most companies in similar circumstances, it continued to operate—and even expand its capabilities.

According to the interview, the company generated just under $3 million in revenue in 2024 while simultaneously restructuring its entire operation. By applying AI-driven automation internally, Fobi reduced its projected annual operating costs to approximately $1.1 million, a figure Anson described as nearly unheard of for a public company.

This financial discipline coincided with the company’s transition to what it now calls Fobi AI 3.0—a model designed to unify consulting, implementation, and proprietary technology under one platform.

From Consultant to Solution Provider

At the core of Fobi’s evolution is a strategic repositioning.

Rather than acting solely as a technology vendor or data provider, Fobi is positioning itself as a full-stack enterprise partner—one that advises on digital strategy and delivers the solution at the same time.

Anson likened the approach to global consulting firms such as Deloitte or Accenture, but with a crucial distinction: Fobi builds and deploys its own technology.

“We’re not just handing over a plan,” Anson explained. “We’re architecting it and implementing it at the same time.”

This approach has resonated with enterprise clients, particularly those frustrated by fragmented systems, lengthy integrations, and rising costs.

The Role of Proprietary AI

That strategy is powered by Fobi’s internal AI architecture, built under the leadership of CTO Uddeshya Agrawal.

Agrawal, one of India’s youngest certified cybersecurity experts and an early Web3 builder, described how Fobi diverged from much of the AI industry by developing its own focused language models rather than relying solely on third-party systems.

“Most AI companies are renting someone else’s intelligence,” Agrawal said. “We built ours.”

Rather than attempting to create a general-purpose system, Fobi trained AI models for specific enterprise functions—allowing for tighter control, improved accuracy, and greater data privacy.

This architecture forms the backbone of Fobi AI 3.0 and supports applications across identity, transactions, data intelligence, and automation.

Fixer: A First Glimpse of Autonomous Operations

The interview coincided with the launch of Fixer, Fobi’s new agentic AI customer-service and technical-support platform.

In its first disclosed deployment, Fixer processed:

  • Over 20,000 digital tickets
  • More than 200 customer inquiries
  • 100% uptime
  • Zero human intervention
  • Reported 100% satisfaction 

For the client—a large-scale event organizer—the implications were immediate. A support operation that previously required roughly 35 staff members was replaced with an autonomous system, reducing costs by an estimated 90% while improving response speed and service quality.

“Real-time service isn’t a luxury anymore,” Anson noted. “It’s the expectation.”

Why This Matters to Enterprises

The Fixer use case highlights what Fobi believes is a broader enterprise shift: automation not as a replacement for value creation, but as an enabler of it.

By removing repetitive, low-value tasks, companies can redeploy human capital toward growth initiatives rather than overhead. At the same time, Fixer provides something executives increasingly demand—clear measurement.

Fobi’s platform tracks cost savings, performance, and return on investment in real time, giving decision-makers immediate visibility into results.

Preparing for a Return to Market

From a corporate perspective, the interview also clarified Fobi’s near-term regulatory path.

Anson confirmed that:

  • The company is nearing completion of its 2025 audit
  • A partial revocation order has been secured
  • A non-brokered private placement is underway to meet working-capital requirements
  • Applications for full revocation and relisting are being prepared

If approvals proceed as expected, management anticipates a return to trading in early January.

The ability to raise capital during a trading halt, Anson suggested, reflects investor confidence in both the relevance of Fobi’s technology and the work already completed behind the scenes.

Target Markets and Growth Strategy

Fobi’s technology is designed to be horizontal, but management identified several areas of active demand:

  • Digital identity and credentialing
  • Financial services and regulatory compliance
  • Aviation and transportation
  • Sports, entertainment, and large-scale events
  • Healthcare and public-sector applications

Rather than scaling headcount, Fobi intends to scale through automation, licensing, and joint ventures—maintaining a small core team while expanding reach through its platform.

Looking Ahead to 2026

Both executives framed 2025 as a year of rebuilding—and 2026 as a year of visibility.

Agrawal described success as reaching a point where Fobi’s technology becomes indispensable to daily operations. Anson echoed that sentiment, pointing to growing enterprise interest in future-proofing budgets and reallocating capital from legacy systems to AI-driven infrastructure.

“Most companies don’t survive a cease-trade order,” Anson said. “We used it to build.”

A Rebuild, Not a Return

Fobi AI’s story over the past year is not one of simple recovery. It is a case study in operational discipline, strategic refocusing, and long-term execution under pressure.

As the company approaches its anticipated return to the public markets, it does so with:

  • A significantly lower cost base
  • A proprietary AI platform already operating at scale

Draganfly Sets New Benchmark in U.S. Defense Tech With Border-Security Validation and Multi-Agency Engagement

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:21 PM on Wednesday, November 19th, 2025

Introduction

Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO; CSE: DPRO) is a North American developer of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and modular drone solutions designed for defense, public safety, telecommunications support, and enterprise use. With a focus on sovereign manufacturing, mission-ready platforms, and strategic partner integration, the company is entering a period of accelerated growth. Over the past several months, Draganfly has announced a series of developments—including defense partnerships, expanded U.S. production, multi-agency border-security demonstrations, and repeat orders from major enterprise customers—that collectively signal a strengthening position within the U.S. defense and homeland-security ecosystem.

Border-Security Demonstrations Underscore Increasing Homeland-Security Demand

A major milestone in November 2025 showcased Draganfly’s capabilities in one of the most challenging operational environments in North America. During the Cochise County Drone Summit, held November 16–17, the company executed live mission demonstrations of its Outrider™ Border Drone alongside the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office.

The Outrider™, a North American–built, NDAA-compliant platform, successfully performed surveillance, emergency-response support, apprehension assistance, and secure communications operations along rugged sections of the U.S.–Mexico border. With an endurance of up to seven hours, payload capacity of up to 100 pounds, and compatibility with AI-enabled imaging and logistics accessories, the Outrider system demonstrated its suitability for mission-critical border environments.

Federal, State, local, and military observers attended the summit, generating multi-agency procurement interest. According to Draganfly CEO Cameron Chell, the demonstration “validated system performance in one of the most challenging operating environments in North America,” reinforcing Draganfly’s role as a trusted domestic supplier for border-security agencies seeking NDAA-compliant solutions.

The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office—already known for deploying high-resolution camera networks, mobile sensors, and ground-surveillance radar—has become a model for integrated border technology. Its collaboration with Draganfly highlights the company’s ability to support technology-driven homeland-security strategies.

Strategic U.S. Defense Partnership Strengthens Federal Alignment

In October 2025, Draganfly executed a formal partnership agreement with Global Ordnance, a U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) prime contractor headquartered in Florida. Under the agreement, Global Ordnance will serve as a defense partner for Draganfly’s unmanned-systems portfolio.

The partnership supports integration of Draganfly platforms into U.S. and allied defense programs, expands domestic manufacturing pathways, and enhances supply-chain responsiveness—key priorities as the U.S. shifts procurement toward sovereign and NDAA-compliant providers.

This agreement builds on prior Department of Defense engagement, including the adoption of Draganfly’s Commander 3XL and Flex FPV tactical platforms by branches of the U.S. military.

Manufacturing Expansion and Military Deployment Initiatives

Draganfly’s U.S. manufacturing expansion, announced in August 2025, is designed to meet growing demand for American-made drone systems. Through AS9100- and ISO9001-certified partners, the company is establishing production redundancy, rapid output capabilities, and mission-critical support consistent with U.S. defense sourcing policies.

This foundation supported a significant milestone in September 2025, when the U.S. Army selected Draganfly to supply Flex FPV drone systems. Under the contract, Draganfly will:

  • Deliver high-performance FPV units tailored for tactical operations
  • Embed on-site manufacturing within overseas U.S. Forces facilities
  • Provide flight, assembly, and sustainment training
  • Manage NDAA-compliant logistics to reduce timelines and enhance operational control

This combination of deployment, embedded production, and training aligns with military modernization initiatives emphasizing rapid, field-level adaptability.

Commercial Scale-Up: Repeat Orders from Fortune 50 Telecommunications Provider

Beyond defense, Draganfly’s Commander 3XL platform continues to gain traction in critical-infrastructure markets. In November 2025, the company secured a second major purchase order from a Fortune 50 telecommunications company.

The order includes multiple Commander 3XL units integrated with the USaS LEAP® tether system—an architecture designed for continuous power, high-bandwidth data connectivity, and persistent aerial communications. These systems support emergency response, network restoration, and post-disaster telecommunications operations.

The repeat order signals both customer confidence and growing enterprise adoption of NDAA-compliant Heavy Lift platforms.

Channel Expansion and Autonomous Innovation

Draganfly’s market reach broadened in October 2025 through a value-added reseller (VAR) partnership with Drone Nerds—one of the largest drone integrators in the United States. The agreement includes sales, integration, training, and technical support for Draganfly’s full NDAA-compliant product family.

Draganfly also announced a collaboration with Palladyne AI to integrate the Palladyne™ Pilot autonomy suite, enabling:

  • Multi-agent swarm operations
  • Real-time sensor fusion
  • AI-enabled tracking and classification
  • Collaborative autonomous mission execution

These capabilities support evolving defense requirements for multi-domain autonomous systems.

Mission-Ready Technology Portfolio Supporting Multi-Domain Use Cases

Across its portfolio—Commander 3XL, Flex FPV, Apex, Heavy Lift systems, and the Outrider Border Drone—Draganfly emphasizes modularity, high durability, and mission adaptability.

Recent initiatives demonstrate the breadth of applications:

  • Border Security: Outrider™ platform validated in live federal, state, and military demonstrations
  • Defense: Flex FPV deployments and Commander 3XL adoption across U.S. defense programs
  • Telecommunications: Commander 3XL + LEAP® tether used for persistent airborne communications
  • Humanitarian & Public Safety: Collaboration with Autonome Labs on aerial mine and route-clearance systems through the M.A.G.I.C. framework

These developments highlight the company’s ability to meet disparate requirements across defense, homeland security, emergency response, and industrial markets.

Closing Outlook

Draganfly’s recent developments—multi-agency border-security validation, expanded defense partnerships, increased U.S. production capacity, enterprise repeat orders, and new autonomy integrations—collectively represent one of the company’s strongest periods of strategic advancement.

With deepening alignment to U.S. procurement priorities, proven NDAA-compliant manufacturing, and a mission-ready portfolio serving both national-security and critical-infrastructure needs, Draganfly is positioned for expanded participation across defense, public-safety, and homeland-security markets.

Its continued execution in manufacturing scale-up, platform development, and strategic collaboration underscores a rising role within the North American drone-technology landscape.

While strengthening its technology base, Kidoz has also focused on expanding global awareness and demand for its solutions. The company increased marketing expenditure by 95% year-over-year and R&D investment by 48% during Q2 2025, underlining its commitment to innovation-led growth. These investments support both brand recognition and sales acceleration, particularly within the mobile gaming and in-app advertising sectors.

Kidoz’s dual-network model—combining the Kidoz Safe Ad Network and the Prado division—positions it to serve both youth and general audiences while maintaining consistent compliance. This structure provides diversified revenue opportunities and broadens its reach into high-value advertising verticals such as education, entertainment, and lifestyle apps.

Privacy-First Advantage in a Shifting Global Market

As data privacy becomes a defining force in digital advertising, Kidoz’s platform represents a future-ready solution for brands and developers navigating increasingly complex compliance landscapes. The company’s Google-certified and Apple-approved infrastructure, coupled with its long-standing commitment to responsible advertising, provides a strategic advantage as global AdTech evolves toward transparency and accountability.

By combining artificial intelligence with contextual precision, Kidoz delivers measurable performance without compromising user trust—addressing the industry’s twin challenges of scale and safety. Its operational discipline, technological depth, and early adoption of privacy-first frameworks continue to differentiate the company within a crowded and rapidly expanding sector.

Strategic Outlook

With digital ad spending expected to exceed USD $2.5 trillion by 2032, Kidoz is strategically positioned to capitalize on the industry’s shift toward ethical, AI-powered engagement. The company’s proven technology, expanding global footprint, and unwavering commitment to user protection reinforce its standing as a category leader in privacy-first AdTech.

As the digital economy continues to evolve, Kidoz’s combination of innovation, compliance, and scalability places it at the forefront of a more transparent, trusted, and sustainable era in mobile advertising.

363K oz Gold at Parbec + 413 M lb NiEq at Victoria – Renforth Strengthens Dual-Asset Position in Québec

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 3:46 PM on Wednesday, October 29th, 2025

A dual-track push in gold and critical minerals underscores the junior’s scale ambitions in Canada’s Abitibi mining hub.

Background and Context

Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR; OTCQB: RFHRF; FSE: 9RR) operates in Quebec’s Abitibi, one of the world’s most established mining districts. The company controls two 100%-owned cornerstone assets: the Parbec gold deposit, situated on the Cadillac Break near Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic operation, and the Victoria nickel-polymetallic system within Renforth’s ~300 km² Malartic Metals Package. Two new developments move each asset a step forward: field work has begun to expose and sample gold at surface at Parbec, and Renforth has declared an initial, pit-constrained mineral resource at Victoria.

For investors tracking both bullion and the energy transition, the pairing is notable: near-surface gold on one side; nickel, copper, zinc and precious-metal credits on the other—each with road access and hydro power in a Tier-1 jurisdiction.

Parbec: Surface Program Targets a 12.2-Meter Gold Channel

Renforth has commenced stripping and chipping overburden on the Parbec deposit inside the area outlined by its May 2025 mineral resource model. The immediate target is a surface channel that graded 1.43 grams per tonne gold over 12.2 meters on the Diorite Splay, a structure interpreted to interact with the Cadillac Break. Once exposed, the team will prospect, map and sample the newly opened bedrock to confirm continuity and test for extensions.

Why this matters: bringing modeled mineralization to surface can sharpen geologic controls, refine near-surface ounces, and inform future bulk-sampling plans. Parbec mineralization starts at surface, is largely contained within a Whittle pit, and remains open along strike and at depth; the pit shell in prior modeling does not extend below ~300 meters. The property benefits from year-round road access in close proximity to the Canadian Malartic complex.

Renforth also disclosed a non-brokered financing initiative of up to C$500,000 in units priced at C$0.02 to support ongoing work programs.

Victoria: First Nickel Polymetallic Resource Establishes Scale

On the critical-minerals side, Renforth released its maiden mineral resource estimate for the Victoria system in Malartic, Quebec: 125 million tonnes grading 0.15% nickel equivalent (NiEq), pit-constrained, representing approximately 413 million pounds of NiEq in situ. The estimate is Inferred, based on ~10,000 meters of drilling across 2.5 kilometers of strike within a ~20-kilometer mineralized trend, and remains open along strike and at depth. The deepest pierce point to date is ~320 meters; modeled pit slopes are 50 degrees with a strip ratio of less than 1:1.

Victoria’s mineralization is hosted in interlayered ultramafic units carrying nickel, cobalt, platinum and palladium, and black shale horizons bearing zinc, copper, silver and gold. Up to three stacked horizons have been intersected at surface and in drilling across a package approaching 500 meters in thickness. Two potential starter-pit subsets leverage shallow geometry and nearby infrastructure.

What Stands Out: Practical Advantages, Not Just Geology

  • Tier-1 setting: Roads, hydro power and nearby processing facilities reduce logistical risk and cost.
  • Shallow geometry: Both Parbec and Victoria emphasize near-surface mineralization that can be evaluated with rapid, lower-cost surface programs.
  • Optionality: Gold exposure at Parbec alongside nickel-polymetallic exposure at Victoria provides commodity diversification.
  • Process pathway work: Prior TOMRA ore-sorting trials and early metallurgical studies at Victoria indicate potential to pre-concentrate and float sulphide minerals, an approach aimed at reducing throughput and inputs.

Executive and Technical Commentary

“Today’s Initial MRE establishes Victoria as a large-scale, near-surface polymetallic nickel system in a top-tier jurisdiction,” said President and CEO Nicole Brewster. “With our land package, hydro power, roads and nearby plants we see a path to scale. Next steps include optimization of sorting and continued step-out and infill drilling ahead of a PEA.”

Vice President of Exploration Martin Demers called the resource “an important milestone to initiate economic evaluation,” adding that geophysical anomalies point to a broader footprint and that ongoing integration of data will guide targeting within what may be a larger magmatic system.

Potential Impact and Significance

At Parbec, confirming and extending surface gold in the Diorite Splay could strengthen near-surface resource confidence and inform development sequencing inside the open-pit shell. At Victoria, the first resource converts a district-scale target into a quantified asset with room to grow. Together, the updates frame a practical work program: surface stripping, mapping and sampling at Parbec; step-outs, infill drilling and process optimization at Victoria.

Challenges and Considerations

The Victoria estimate is categorized as Inferred, reflecting early-stage confidence that will require additional drilling to upgrade to Indicated and Measured levels. Economic viability has not been demonstrated, and future studies will need to address metallurgy, recoveries, capital needs, environmental permitting and market conditions. At Parbec, translating surface channels into mineable inventory depends on consistent continuity, validated grades and subsequent technical work.

Conclusion

Renforth’s latest steps advance two parallel narratives in Quebec’s Abitibi: a surface-driven gold program at Parbec aimed at sharpening near-term understanding, and a first-pass resource at Victoria that establishes scale in nickel and associated metals. With shallow geometry, road access and power, the company is aligning field work with practical development pathways in a jurisdiction built for mining.

Great Atlantic to Launch World’s First AI-Powered Surgical Mining™ — 2,700-Tonne Bulk Sample Set for September

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 12:59 PM on Wednesday, August 27th, 2025

A Game-Changing Shift in Mining

Great Atlantic Resources (TSXV: GR) is preparing to launch one of the most significant technological shifts in modern mining: the world’s first AI-powered Surgical Mining™ initiative. At its Golden Promise Gold Property in Newfoundland, the company will begin a 2,700-tonne bulk sample extraction this September, testing a system designed to maximize ore recovery while drastically reducing environmental disruption.

This marks a breakthrough moment for both the company and the mining industry at large. If successful, the project could redefine how small, high-grade deposits are developed, cutting costs to a fraction of conventional mining methods.

How Surgical Mining™ Works

Developed in partnership with Novamera Inc. and backed by Canada’s Digital Supercluster, the Surgical Mining™ system uses AI-guided drilling to precisely follow underground gold-bearing veins. Instead of blasting wide tunnels, a bore drill with a directional head tracks the vein in real time, extracting only the gold-rich ore while leaving surrounding rock untouched.

Key features include:

  • Directional Drilling Technology: Adapts drilling trajectory to follow veins with accuracy.
  • Minimal Environmental Footprint: Non-invasive and water-inclusive design reduces land disturbance.
  • Cost Efficiency: Expected to operate at 20–25% of traditional mining costs.
  • Third-Party Validation: Endorsed by academic institutions (UBC, Memorial University) and supported with $6.6 million in grants.

This innovation could prove especially transformative for Newfoundland’s high-grade, narrow-vein gold systems.

Golden Promise: A High-Grade Asset in a Prime Location

The Golden Promise property already boasts a 43-101 inferred resource of 119,900 ounces of gold at 10.4 g/t. The Jaclyn Main Zone, where the bulk sampling will take place, has delivered drill intercepts exceeding 29 g/t and surface samples as high as 332 g/t.

What makes Golden Promise even more attractive is its neighborhood. The project is in proximity to Calibre Mining’s Valentine Gold Mine, a $2.6 billion development in the same Exploits Subzone of Newfoundland’s Victoria Lake Super Belt. This district has rapidly become one of Canada’s most dynamic gold camps.

Potential Impact and Next Steps

The upcoming 2,700-tonne bulk sample is designed to achieve three key objectives:

  1. Validate the Surgical Mining™ Technology: Prove that AI-guided drilling can follow veins effectively and minimize waste rock.
  2. Demonstrate Economics: Confirm cost reductions and high recoveries (with neighbor recoveries near 94%).
  3. Generate Data for Expansion: Support the path toward operating under Newfoundland’s Small Mines Act, which allows up to 50,000 tonnes of production annually.

If results are positive, Great Atlantic could move quickly from bulk sampling into limited production — a potential game-changer for a junior explorer with a modest market cap.

Beyond Gold: A Broader Portfolio

While gold is the company’s flagship focus, Great Atlantic also owns 100% of multiple mineral assets across Atlantic Canada. These include projects targeting antimony, tungsten, copper, and even a surprising recent discovery of emeralds in Newfoundland. This diversified portfolio strengthens its positioning as governments worldwide prioritize critical mineral supply chains.

Conclusion: A Bold Step Into Mining’s Future

Great Atlantic Resources is at a pivotal moment. By combining high-grade gold assets with AI-driven mining innovation, the company is positioned not only to unlock significant shareholder value but also to pioneer a model of mining that is more efficient, sustainable, and scalable.

With bulk sampling set to begin in September, all eyes will be on Great Atlantic as it attempts what could be a landmark achievement in the evolution of the mining industry.
