Lancaster Resources Launches Field Work at Lake Cargelligo Gold Project — Described by CEO as a ‘Potential Company-Maker’

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 5:25 PM on Friday, August 15th, 2025

Junior explorer advances a multi-asset portfolio while launching field work for its maiden NI 43-101 at Lake Cargelligo.

Vancouver — Lancaster Resources Inc. (CSE: LCR | OTC: LANRF | FRA: 6UF0) has begun desk and field work at its 100%-owned Lake Cargelligo Gold Project in New South Wales, Australia—an early but important step toward completing the company’s first National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the asset. The program marks tangible progress following a year of portfolio building across gold, uranium and polymetallic targets in Canada and Australia.

The initiative matters for two reasons. First, Lake Cargelligo sits in the prolific Lachlan Fold Belt and covers 28,768 hectares with multiple historical gold and silver occurrences. Second, a maiden NI 43-101 establishes a standardized technical baseline for future work, helping the company prioritize targets and sequence capital.

Background and Context

Lancaster is assembling district-scale exploration positions in mining-friendly jurisdictions. Its portfolio includes the Lake Cargelligo Gold Project in Australia; the Piney Lake gold property in Saskatchewan; the Catley Lake and Centennial East uranium projects in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin; and Quebec’s Lac Iris polymetallic project in the James Bay region, where the company also holds an option on the Trans-Taiga property. In Australia, Lancaster operates through a wholly owned subsidiary created to advance exploration and development.

At Lake Cargelligo, historical work reported surface rock-chip results up to 204 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 273 g/t silver, and channel sampling intercepts up to 16 meters at 5.83 g/t gold and 7.20 g/t silver. These figures, disclosed by the company, are historical and have not yet been verified by a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, but they frame the initial areas of interest for the 2025 work program.

Key Highlights and Advantages

  • Field work underway: Reconnaissance geological mapping and rock-chip sampling have commenced to refine targets for a focused drill program. 
  • Maiden NI 43-101 in process: Lancaster anticipates completing the report by August 31, 2025, providing a structured technical foundation for the project. 
  • District scale: Lake Cargelligo covers 28,768 hectares in the Lachlan Fold Belt, a region known for significant gold endowment. 
  • Portfolio breadth: Active positions in gold (Australia and Saskatchewan), uranium (Athabasca Basin), and polymetallic targets (James Bay) offer multiple exploration pathways. 

What differentiates the current phase is movement from claim consolidation to on-the-ground work—paired with a clear reporting milestone and a stated plan to progress toward drill targeting.

Potential Impact and Significance

For the company, the field program at Lake Cargelligo is a practical inflection point. A completed NI 43-101 should help prioritize targets, guide future budgets and timelines, and provide a consistent technical reference for subsequent results. Portfolio breadth—across gold, uranium and polymetallics—also allows Lancaster to pursue opportunities that align with commodity cycles while concentrating near-term activity where access, permitting and historical data support a faster start.

Expert Opinions and Analysis

“Commencing field work at Lake Cargelligo represents a pivotal moment for Lancaster,” said Andrew Watson, P.Eng., President and CEO. “Our maiden NI 43-101 Technical Report for Lake Cargelligo will be the foundation for systematic exploration, guiding our strategy toward resource definition and value creation for our shareholders.” Watson is the company’s Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in the news release.

Separately, Lancaster confirmed it has engaged Ora IR Services Inc. to support investor relations, including customer service management and communications. The agreement includes the grant of 1.8 million stock options exercisable at $0.10 per share and monthly cash compensation between $10,000 and $20,000, with Ora’s principal, Geoff Skinner, acting as consultant.

Challenges and Considerations

As an early-stage explorer, Lancaster faces common risks: historical results require modern verification; timelines can be affected by permitting, access, and seasonal field conditions; and mineralization on adjacent or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on Lancaster’s ground. The company notes that historical results cited at Lake Cargelligo have not been verified by a Qualified Person. In Quebec, the Lac Iris claims remain “Being Processed” pending confirmation from SIGEOM and the provincial ministry.

Mitigation steps include sequencing work toward a formal NI 43-101, focusing initial efforts on mapping and sampling to de-risk drill targeting, and coordinating programs across projects (including planned hyperspectral analysis in James Bay) to improve efficiency.

Conclusion

Lancaster Resources is moving from portfolio assembly to execution. With field work underway at Lake Cargelligo and a clear target date for its maiden NI 43-101, the company is laying the technical groundwork needed to advance a district-scale gold asset—all while maintaining exposure to uranium and polymetallic opportunities in Canada. For a junior explorer, that combination of focus on a lead project and optionality across the broader portfolio may prove decisive as 2025 unfolds.

Zefiro Hits $57M Revenue + $20M in State Contracts Sealing Methane Leaks

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 12:04 PM on Thursday, July 17th, 2025

Zefiro Methane Corp. (CBOE Canada: ZEFI | OTCQB: ZEFIF), a vertically integrated environmental services company, has surpassed USD $57 million in revenue across fiscal 2024 and year-to-date fiscal 2025. The company also recently secured approximately USD $20 million in contracts from the State of Ohio to permanently seal over 200 orphaned oil and gas wells — marking a significant step in its mission to address methane emissions across North America.

In a recent interview, Interim CEO Catherine Flax joined AGORACOM founder George Tsiolis to provide insight into the scope and significance of these contracts, as well as the company’s broader strategy for climate infrastructure and carbon monetization.

Leadership with Financial and ESG Credentials

Catherine Flax brings deep financial and regulatory experience to Zefiro, having held executive roles at JPMorgan and BNP Paribas. She emphasized Zefiro’s focus on combining environmental integrity with financial discipline:

“We’re not just solving an environmental problem — we’re creating a scalable model that generates recurring revenue while supporting real-world emissions reduction.”

Her leadership comes at a pivotal time, as the company moves from early traction to broader execution.

Ohio Contracts Signal Operational Momentum

The USD ~$20 million in contracts were awarded by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Under these agreements, Zefiro — through its wholly owned subsidiary Plants & Goodwin — is tasked with the safe and permanent sealing of more than 200 orphaned wells across the state.

Key contract highlights include:

  • Approx. USD $20 million in total value
  • 200+ wells slated for permanent abandonment
  • Significant reduction of fugitive methane emissions
  • Execution by in-house crews using proprietary equipment
  • Verified carbon credits tied to emissions abatement

Zefiro has also pre-sold carbon credits to major counterparties, including Mercuria and EDF Trading, providing forward visibility into cash flows.

Fully Integrated Methane Abatement Model

Zefiro’s value proposition lies in its end-to-end model — from detection through monetization:

  • Detection: Satellite and drone-based methane identification
  • Execution: In-house plugging by subsidiary Plants & Goodwin
  • Verification: Independent third-party validation
  • Monetization: Origination and pre-sale of carbon offset credits

This integrated structure allows Zefiro to control quality, manage costs, and improve gross margins across projects.

Scalable Growth with Tangible Results

Since inception, Zefiro has generated more than USD $57 million in revenue, including USD $32.8 million in FY2024 and USD $24.4 million YTD FY2025. The company’s current trajectory is shaped by awarded contracts, a defined regulatory opportunity, and a replicable operational model.

Zefiro continues to participate in bid processes across multiple jurisdictions in the United States, positioning itself as a long-term partner in orphaned well remediation and methane mitigation.

Targeting a Multi-Billion Dollar Market

According to various public and academic sources, North America’s orphaned well liability is estimated to exceed $400 billion in cumulative cleanup costs. Zefiro is building the operational and administrative infrastructure required to compete for a growing share of this market — with a focus on compliant execution, verified impact, and recurring revenue.

Conclusion: Positioned for Scale in Climate Infrastructure

Zefiro Methane Corp. is establishing itself as a practical solution provider in the climate infrastructure space. By aligning environmental outcomes with a disciplined business model, the company is delivering measurable impact — and building what could become a leading platform for methane abatement and carbon credit origination.

“Environmental responsibility and strong financial performance are not mutually exclusive,” said Flax. “We’re proving they can power each other.”

Quantum BioPharma Confronts Extreme Short Pressure Amid Market Imbalances as Borrow Fees Surge Beyond 437%

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 9:55 AM on Friday, June 27th, 2025

Quantum BioPharma (NASDAQ: QNTM / CSE: QNTM) is now facing one of the most severe short pressure environments observed in North American markets this year. The borrow fee on QNTM shares has surged past 437% annually — roughly 1% per trading day — placing it among the highest-cost securities to short across any exchange. These fees signal that brokers are effectively out of lendable inventory and are pricing risk accordingly.

Float Scarcity Driving Volatility Risk

With fewer than 15,000 shares available for borrowing across major prime brokers, QNTM has entered what many refer to as a “locate vacuum.” The company’s public float is approximately 2.6 million shares, making it highly sensitive to buying pressure. In micro-float environments, even small bursts of covering or long-side accumulation can cause rapid price escalation due to a lack of natural sellers and tight liquidity conditions.

Dark Pool Activity Clouds Price Discovery

Adding to concerns is the high proportion of off-exchange short trading. In recent sessions, approximately 59% of QNTM’s daily volume has been routed through dark pools — private trading venues that do not display pre-trade quotes. While such routing is legal, this level of activity can obscure real demand and suppress visible momentum. In an environment where supply is tight and borrow costs are surging, dark pool dominance raises legitimate questions about whether price discovery is functioning as it should.

Echoes of Past Short-Driven Dislocations

The structural setup now surrounding QNTM bears striking similarities to prior market events that resulted in high-profile short squeezes. KaloBios (KBIO) gained over 10,000% in 2015 after its float was effectively locked and borrow availability vanished. GameStop (GME) surged 2,740% in early 2021 under conditions of high borrow fees, float constraints, and elevated short interest. Other comparables include Tilray (TLRY) and KOSS, where borrow fees exceeded 800% during moments of extreme float compression. QNTM’s current borrow rate already exceeds GME’s peak — despite having a much smaller float.

Company Fundamentals Remain Unchanged

While trading volatility has increased, Quantum BioPharma’s operational strategy and clinical programs remain firmly on track. The company recently completed Phase 1 trials for Lucid-MS, a novel treatment designed to repair myelin damage in multiple sclerosis patients. Developed in collaboration with scientists from a Harvard-affiliated teaching hospital, Lucid-MS offers a differentiated approach in a space long dominated by immune suppression therapies. Importantly, the company has made no promotional claims, has not issued new financings, and is not engaged in any stock-related marketing activity.

No Squeeze Assumptions — But Structural Tension Is Clear

A short squeeze is never guaranteed, even with elevated borrow fees and float scarcity. However, the structural tension in QNTM’s trading — characterized by near-zero share availability, high-cost borrow, and dark pool suppression — creates the potential for sudden dislocation if a trigger appears. Any combination of positive news, reduced volume, or insider accumulation could prompt a reflexive covering event in a market ill-equipped to absorb it.

Reaffirming the Need for Market Integrity

Quantum BioPharma has not commented on recent trading behavior but reaffirms its commitment to transparency, scientific advancement, and regulatory compliance. The company supports fair, orderly markets and believes that all participants — including regulators and exchanges — should remain vigilant when structural indicators point to breakdowns in natural price formation. As this situation evolves, investors, analysts, and oversight bodies are encouraged to monitor borrow fees, share availability, and trade routing closely.

Draganfly Takes Flight: Momentum Builds Across Defense, Humanitarian, and Infrastructure Sectors

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:35 PM on Wednesday, May 28th, 2025

With a legacy of UAV innovation and a portfolio of real-world deployments, Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO | CSE: DPRO) is accelerating its reach across critical sectors—from battlefield logistics to disaster relief.

A Proven UAV Partner with Global Impact

Draganfly has spent over 25 years at the forefront of drone innovation. Today, that track record is translating into real-world impact across defense, public safety, infrastructure, and humanitarian missions.

In 2024, the company generated $6.56 million USD in revenue, and in Q1 2025, it posted a 16% year-over-year revenue increase, driven by rising demand for product sales—up 24.5%. From conflict zones in Ukraine to emergency responses in North America, Draganfly is redefining how unmanned aerial systems are used to save lives and enhance efficiency.

Strategic Expansion Meets Mission-Critical Demand

Draganfly’s momentum is anchored by high-profile partnerships and geographic expansion:

  •  Appointed by SafeLane Global as the preferred global drone partner for landmine mapping in over 60 conflict-affected countries, including active missions in Ukraine.
  •  Opened a U.S. defense facility in Tampa, Florida to support federal and public safety clients.
  •  Earned a key FAA waiver authorizing operations over people and moving vehicles—essential for urban drone missions.
  •  Partnered with Volatus Aerospace to deliver advanced aerial intelligence tools, including bathymetric LiDAR for high-precision surveying over water.

This is strategic execution in action—Draganfly is not just building drones; it’s building infrastructure for global resilience.

Drones Built for the Front Lines

Draganfly’s drone ecosystem is designed for critical, high-stakes missions:

  •  Commander 3XL: Trusted by the U.S. Department of Defense and Massachusetts Department of Transportation, this flagship platform supports tactical resupply, surveillance, and medical drone delivery.
  •  Heavy Lift Drone: Designed for large-payload delivery, from medical kits and comms gear to infrastructure materials—ideal for disaster relief and rugged logistics.
  •  APEX Platform: Supports thermal imaging, real-time overwatch, and situational awareness for emergency response and crisis coordination.

These systems are already deployed for wildfire response, search and rescue, and critical infrastructure inspection—backed by award-winning design and engineering.

Public Safety Expertise Strengthened at the Top

In May 2025, Draganfly appointed Peter Lambrinakos, O.O.M., CPP, to its Public Safety Advisory Board. A former Chief of Police at VIA Rail and senior official with the Montreal Police Service, Lambrinakos brings decades of leadership in national security, crisis response, and AI ethics in public safety.

His addition reinforces Draganfly’s commitment to delivering secure, non-foreign-made drone technology that meets the evolving demands of North American defense and public agencies.

Beyond the Battlefield: Humanitarian UAV Solutions

Draganfly’s work with SafeLane Global marks a major leap forward in UAV-based landmine detection—deploying drones to safely survey minefields and deliver mesh-based demining systems.

This initiative, combined with previous drone delivery missions of insulin in Ukraine, highlights Draganfly’s growing footprint in humanitarian tech—applying AI-powered aerial systems to the world’s most pressing emergencies.

Looking Ahead: Scaling Innovation with Purpose

With new U.S. operations, regulatory clearances, and critical defense and public safety partnerships, Draganfly is positioning itself as a trusted domestic drone supplier at a time when national security policies increasingly favor secure, North American-made UAV systems.

The company’s multi-use platforms—modular, AI-integrated, and built to perform—are redefining what’s possible across defense, infrastructure, and emergency response.

Draganfly isn’t just meeting demand—it’s shaping the future of aerial intelligence.

Quantum BioPharma’s $700 Million Lawsuit Highlights Ongoing Concerns Over Market Manipulation

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 3:38 PM on Thursday, May 15th, 2025

The biopharmaceutical company’s legal action against major financial institutions underscores the persistent issue of spoofing in financial markets.

Introduction

Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, has filed a lawsuit seeking over $700 million in damages. The legal action alleges that CIBC World Markets and RBC Dominion Securities engaged in market manipulation practices, specifically spoofing, which artificially depressed Quantum’s stock price between January 2020 and August 2024. 

Understanding Spoofing and Its Impact

Spoofing is a deceptive trading practice where traders place large orders with the intent to cancel them before execution, creating a false impression of demand or supply. This manipulates market prices and can mislead other investors. The practice was outlawed under the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010 due to its potential to disrupt market integrity.

In Quantum’s case, the company alleges that such spoofing tactics led to a significant decline in its stock value, which was trading above $460 per share in January 2020. The purported manipulation not only affected the company’s market capitalization but also potentially harmed investors who relied on transparent market operations. 

Legal Proceedings and Representation

Quantum BioPharma has engaged the law firms Christian Attar and Freedman Normand Friedland LLP to represent its case on a contingency basis. This arrangement indicates the legal teams’ confidence in the merits of the case and ensures that Quantum can pursue the lawsuit without immediate financial burden. 

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, accuses the defendants of violating multiple sections of the Securities Exchange Act. Quantum has also invited shareholders who believe they were affected by the alleged spoofing to share their experiences, aiming to document the broader impact on investor confidence and market fairness. 

Advancements in Multiple Sclerosis Treatment

Amidst the legal battle, Quantum continues to advance its clinical programs. The company’s lead compound, Lucid-MS, is a first-in-class, non-immunomodulatory, neuroprotective treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS). Unlike traditional MS therapies that suppress the immune system, Lucid-MS aims to protect and restore the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers, addressing the root cause of the disease. 

In February 2025, Quantum announced the completion of its Phase 1 clinical trial for Lucid-MS, reporting that the treatment was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events. The company is now preparing to initiate Phase 2 trials, bringing it closer to offering a novel therapeutic option for MS patients.

Conclusion

Quantum BioPharma’s lawsuit against major financial institutions brings to light the ongoing challenges of ensuring market integrity in the face of sophisticated trading manipulations like spoofing. As the company seeks justice through legal channels, it remains committed to its mission of developing innovative treatments for debilitating diseases, exemplified by the progress of Lucid-MS.

Investors and industry observers will be closely monitoring the outcomes of both the legal proceedings and the clinical advancements, as they hold significant implications for market practices and medical breakthroughs alike.

Plasma Power: How PyroGenesis Is Quietly Leading Heavy Industry’s Green Revolution

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:15 PM on Wednesday, April 30th, 2025


From high-efficiency torches to billion-dollar clients, this Canadian tech company is proving that clean heat can mean big business.

As global industries scramble to decarbonize and future-proof their operations, one Montreal-based company is emerging as a key enabler of the clean energy transition. PyroGenesis Inc. (TSX: PYR | OTCQX: PYRGF | FRA: 8PY1), a high-tech leader in all-electric plasma technologies, is gaining serious traction with some of the world’s largest players in aluminum, defense, aerospace, and steelmaking.

After a breakout 2024, the company is now sitting on a $54.4 million backlog of signed and awarded contracts — 87% denominated in U.S. dollars — and showing no signs of slowing down.

Turning Heat Into Revenue: Record Year, Profitable Quarter

PyroGenesis reported $15.7 million in revenue for FY2024, a 27% increase over the previous year. Q4 alone saw a 40% revenue boost year-over-year, clocking in at $4.22 million with a net income of $145,320 — a dramatic turnaround from the $9.8 million loss reported in Q4 2023.

This marked the seventh straight quarter of revenue growth, a sign of both strong execution and growing demand for the company’s ultra-high-temperature solutions. Gross margins improved to 41.3% in Q4, while SG&A expenses were slashed by $20 million year-over-year, reflecting strong cost discipline.

World-Class Clients, World-Changing Tech

PyroGenesis isn’t just innovating — it’s executing at scale with some of the world’s biggest industrial names:

  • Norsk Hydro, one of the largest aluminum producers globally, awarded PyroGenesis a ~$2.4 million contract to supply plasma torches for fossil fuel replacement at its flagship plant in Norway.
  • Boeing has entered into the final stages of certification to approve PyroGenesis’ NexGen™ titanium metal powder for aerospace applications.

363,000 Gold Ounces: Renforth’s Parbec Deposit Is Beside One of Canada’s Largest Open Pit Mines

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:13 PM on Wednesday, April 30th, 2025

With a strategic location beside one of Canada’s largest gold mines and a 29% boost in ounces, Renforth’s Parbec Gold Deposit is back in the spotlight.

As gold sets its sights on $4,000, investors and analysts alike are revisiting the companies most exposed to the upside. One of the names gaining fresh momentum is Renforth Resources Inc. Its flagship Parbec Gold Deposit and its commanding land position in the Abitibi.

Location, Location, Location: Parbec’s Strategic Advantage

Renforth’s Parbec Gold Deposit is a surface-accessible gold system located immediately beside Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine — one of the largest gold operations in Canada.

In mining, proximity to infrastructure and proven systems matters. Parbec doesn’t just sit near one of Canada’s most prolific mines; it shares similar geological characteristics with the Barnat and East Malartic deposits that helped form the Canadian Malartic Super Pit.

That kind of geological validation is rare — and incredibly valuable.

New 43-101 Resource: 363,000 Ounces and Growing

Renforth recently delivered a major milestone: a new NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for Parbec.

Key Highlights:

  • 363,000 ounces of gold — a 29% increase from the previous estimate
  • 265,000 ounces in the Measured & Indicated category, the highest level of geological confidence
  • All ounces are constrained within an open-pit model starting right at surface

And that’s not the ceiling.

The company also identified 24,000 ounces of gold below the economic cutoff, which could be added under higher gold price assumptions — a key point, as gold surges toward historic highs.

Infrastructure Ready, Monetization Options Open

Parbec isn’t just a promising deposit — it’s also primed for advancement.

  • Existing decline ramp on site offers access to subsurface zones
  • Surrounded by multiple toll milling facilities, including Agnico Eagle’s Westwood and Camflo
  • Excellent road access and logistics reduce the need for major capex

This optionality gives Renforth multiple paths forward: sale, joint venture, or a low-cost bulk sampling program that could begin generating near-term cash flow. That flexibility is critical in today’s market.

Not Just Gold: Critical Mineral Exposure Through Malartic Metals Package

Beyond gold, Renforth also controls the Malartic Metals Package — a 300 km² land position that contains a 20-kilometre-long polymetallic mineralized corridor.

Early-stage discoveries here have already confirmed the presence of:

  • Nickel
  • Cobalt
  • Copper
  • Zinc
  • Platinum and Palladium

Located in a Tier 1 jurisdiction, this land package offers exposure to battery metals and energy transition demand — a powerful complement to Renforth’s gold story.

Final Word: Gold, Growth, and Geological Firepower

In a market increasingly driven by gold scarcity and critical mineral demand, Renforth Resources stands out as a company with scale-ready assets, top-tier location, and flexible pathways to monetization.

With 363,000 ounces of near-surface gold, a geological twin to one of Canada’s largest gold mines, and a multi-metal critical minerals corridor, Renforth is proving it doesn’t need to be the biggest to be one of the most compelling.

As gold breaks new records, Renforth Resources is a name to watch.

Why Gold’s Bull Market Is a Defining Moment for Lake Winn Resources Corp.

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:11 PM on Wednesday, April 30th, 2025

As prices climb, one dual-commodity explorer positions itself to benefit from both gold’s resurgence and the future of lithium

Gold Prices In Excess of $3,300 — But the Real Story Is What Comes Next

With gold futures recently topping $3,500 per ounce for the first time in history, the global commodities narrative is shifting. Analysts, including DoubleLine’s Jeffrey Gundlach, are forecasting even higher milestones, with predictions reaching as high as $4,000 per ounce in the not-so-distant future.

Driving this momentum are macro forces like increased central bank buying, global recession fears, and currency devaluation. Gold is once again proving its role as a safe-haven asset—and the companies with quality exposure to gold exploration are gaining renewed attention.

Lake Winn Resources Corp. (CSE: LWR | FSE: EE1A) is a Canadian mineral exploration company positioned squarely at the intersection of this bullish gold environment and the growing demand for critical minerals like lithium.

Lake Winn’s Gold Assets: High Grades, High Potential

Lake Winn’s strategic gold portfolio is centered in Manitoba’s prolific Flin Flon Gold Belt, an area long known for high-grade discoveries and producing mines. The company’s two primary gold projects—Cloud and Quartz—form the foundation of a targeted exploration strategy with proven upside.

Cloud Project

  • Located in the heart of the Flin Flon Gold Belt
  • Recent drill results include 1m @ 17.3 g/t gold, confirming near-surface high-grade potential
  • Multiple targets identified for follow-up drilling in 2024

Quartz Project

  • Sits near the historic Reed Lake and Four Mile Island VMS deposits
  • Previously drilled intercept of 1m @ 19.9 g/t gold from historic work
  • A 1.45 km conductor is now being prepared for testing to trace the mineralized zone’s full extent

These intercepts—both exceeding 17 grams per tonne—demonstrate not only strong mineralization but the kind of high-grade gold values that can drive project economics.

To sharpen execution and maximize asset value, Lake Winn is spinning out both gold properties into a dedicated new company: Gold Winn Resources Corp. This move enables focused development of the gold portfolio while preserving lithium leadership at the parent company level.

Positioned for the Clean Energy Transition: LNPG Lithium Project

While gold provides a near-term opportunity in a rising price environment, Lake Winn is also thinking long term. Its flagship Little Nahanni Pegmatite Project (LNPG), located in the Northwest Territories near the Yukon border, is a major lithium-bearing pegmatite system covering 9,682.5 hectares.

LNPG Project

  • Hosts a 7 km long lithium-rich pegmatite dyke swarm
  • Exploration supported by $400,000 in government grants, including funding from the Northwest Territories Mining Incentive Program
  • AI-driven geophysical analysis underway to map deeper pegmatite targets
  • Positioned to supply future battery metal demand from North America

With both gold and lithium exposure—backed by top-tier geological settings—Lake Winn has constructed a portfolio that balances today’s opportunities with tomorrow’s needs.

Final Word: Dual Commodities, Single Focus—Opportunity

With gold’s price momentum driving global headlines and lithium demand continuing to build, Lake Winn Resources Corp. stands out for its exposure to both. The company’s high-grade gold assets in Manitoba, combined with a substantial lithium project in the Northwest Territories, place it among a rare group of explorers with diversified critical mineral potential.

Focused, well-funded, and backed by verifiable exploration success, Lake Winn is quietly building a strong foundation to benefit from both the gold rally and the clean energy transition.

Drones Reach New Heights: Transforming Mount Everest Expeditions

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:27 PM on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025

Revolutionizing High-Altitude Logistics and Safety

In a groundbreaking development, drone technology is revolutionizing the logistics and environmental impact of Mount Everest expeditions. Recent successful trials have proven that drones can now transport essential supplies and remove waste between Everest Base Camp and higher camps—streamlining operations, enhancing safety, and reducing the environmental toll on the world’s highest peak.

A Safer Ascent: Drones Mitigate Risks for Sherpas

For decades, Sherpas have faced life-threatening conditions while carrying heavy loads—often oxygen cylinders and ladders—through the treacherous Khumbu Icefall. These missions frequently require multiple round trips through avalanche-prone terrain.

Drones are now emerging as life-saving tools. Capable of flying supplies across dangerous areas, they significantly reduce Sherpa exposure to high-risk zones, improving both expedition safety and efficiency.

Environmental Stewardship: Tackling Everest’s Waste Problem

Every climber leaves behind an estimated 8 kilograms of waste, creating an escalating ecological problem for Everest. Cleanup crews face severe conditions when hauling garbage back down the mountain.

Drone technology is offering a new solution. By airlifting waste off the slopes, drones are helping to preserve the fragile Himalayan ecosystem while easing the physical burden on human workers.

Draganfly: Powering the Future of Remote Logistics

One company at the center of this evolution is Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO; CSE: DPRO). With over 25 years of innovation in drone systems and AI-powered software, Draganfly’s platforms are designed for high-stakes operations, from extreme altitudes to disaster zones.

In 2024, Draganfly reported $6.56 million in revenue, marking a pivotal year in which it delivered advanced UAV solutions across defense, public safety, and industrial sectors.

Recent Highlights for Draganfly:

  • Commander 3XL drone selected by the U.S. Department of Defense for autonomous tactical resupply.
  • Apex drone launched for military and law enforcement, featuring interference-resistant comms and AI-based navigation.
  • Partnered with Massachusetts DOT and Mass General Brigham for medical drone delivery pilots.
  • Multi-year agreement with SafeLane Global to provide landmine mapping drones in post-conflict zones like Ukraine.
  • Joined forces with Balko Technologies to deliver modular LiDAR drone systems for environmental and industrial surveying.
  • Established a Public Safety Advisory Board chaired by Homeland Security expert Paul Goldenberg.

Draganfly’s drones are engineered with modular payload systems—making them as adaptable as a Swiss Army knife. Whether conducting search and rescue missions, environmental surveys, or logistics in remote terrain, these UAVs are purpose-built for performance under pressure.

Global Impact: Everest and Beyond

What works on Everest can be adapted to other high-risk zones. The success of high-altitude drone missions sets a precedent for their deployment in disaster recovery, military logistics, infrastructure inspections, and humanitarian aid. With flexible flight ranges and payload capacities, drones can enter areas where helicopters or ground teams cannot safely operate.

Conclusion: A New Era in Remote Operations

The integration of drones into Everest operations is more than a technological milestone—it’s a preview of how unmanned aerial systems will redefine logistics and safety in the world’s most extreme environments.

As innovators like Draganfly continue to advance drone capabilities, the global potential becomes clear: smarter, safer, and more efficient solutions that not only push the limits of engineering, but also redefine what’s possible when technology meets the human spirit of exploration.
