Quantum BioPharma Successfully Completes First Human Trial for New Multiple Sclerosis Drug 

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:18 PM on Monday, March 24th, 2025

Key Takeaway for Investors:
Quantum BioPharma (NASDAQ: QNTM) has successfully completed its Phase 1 clinical trial for Lucid-21-302 (Lucid-MS), an experimental drug for multiple sclerosis (MS). The drug was found to be safe and well-tolerated, paving the way for the next phase of clinical testing.

What Happened?
The company conducted a Phase 1 trial to test the safety of Lucid-MS in healthy volunteers. The study followed strict protocols, including a final review by a Safety Review Committee, which confirmed there were no safety concerns or serious side effects.

Why This Matters:
Lucid-MS is a first-of-its-kind drug designed to protect the myelin sheath around nerve fibers, which is damaged in MS patients. Unlike existing MS treatments, which primarily focus on the immune system, Lucid-MS directly works to stabilize myelin, potentially slowing disease progression.

Next Steps:
With safety confirmed, Quantum BioPharma now plans to move forward with a Phase 2 trial, which will test Lucid-MS in MS patients to evaluate its effectiveness in treating the disease.

CEO Statement:
Zeeshan Saeed, CEO of Quantum BioPharma, emphasized the significance of this milestone, stating that the company is now closer to making a breakthrough treatment for MS patients a reality.

Investor Outlook:
The successful completion of Phase 1 is a major step toward potential drug approval and commercialization. Investors should keep an eye on upcoming Phase 2 trial developments, as positive results could significantly increase the drug’s market potential.

What Does Lucid-21-302 Do? (In Simple Terms)

Lucid-21-302 (Lucid-MS) is a new experimental drug designed to protect nerve fibers in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).

How Does It Work?
Think of nerves like electrical wires in your body, and myelin as the protective coating around those wires. In MS, the immune system attacks this coating (called demyelination), causing damage that leads to muscle weakness, vision problems, and difficulty moving.

Most MS treatments try to calm the immune system to slow down the attack. Lucid-MS is different. Instead of focusing on the immune system, it works directly on the myelin to stabilize and protect it from damage.

Why Is This Important?
By keeping myelin intact, Lucid-MS may help slow down the progression of MS and prevent disability—something current MS drugs don’t do very well.
If future trials confirm its effectiveness, it could be a game-changer for people living with MS.

Loncor Gold Aims To Expand High-Grade Discovery Amid Soaring Gold Prices

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 10:25 AM on Friday, March 21st, 2025

Introduction

As gold continues its upward trajectory, nearing record highs and gaining for the third consecutive week, investor attention is squarely focused on producers and explorers best positioned to capitalize on this momentum. Loncor Gold (TSX: LN) (OTCQX: LONCF) (FSE: LO5), a Canadian gold exploration company operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is gaining relevance as its drilling campaign at the 3.66-million-ounce Adumbi deposit delivers strong, high-grade results.

With macroeconomic instability, global trade tensions, and geopolitical conflicts fueling demand for gold as a hedge, Loncor Gold’s strategic timing and location within Africa’s prolific Ngayu Greenstone Belt have positioned it to benefit from the sector’s upward trend.

Industry Outlook and Loncor Gold’s Trajectory

Gold has surged 16% year-to-date, marking 15 all-time highs in 2025 alone. The rally is driven by a mix of geopolitical unrest, fears of trade disruptions, and expectations of monetary easing. Analysts at Macquarie now see gold climbing to $3,500 per ounce, underlining the asset’s role as a stable store of value.

This trend directly benefits companies like Loncor Gold, which holds one of the largest gold deposits in the DRC, second only to the Barrick-AngloGold Kibali mine. As inflation remains sticky and central banks hold rates, explorers with scale and grade in geopolitically significant jurisdictions are increasingly on investor radar.

Voices of Authority

“Gold has benefited as the White House prepares to announce another wave of tariffs,” the BNN Bloomberg article notes, adding that “Macquarie Group forecasts [gold] could rise as high as $3,500 an ounce.” With bullion trading near $3,057/oz, the support for safe-haven assets is clear.

These insights highlight the relevance of projects like Adumbi, which are becoming more economically attractive in light of rising gold prices and investor appetite for tangible, growth-stage assets.

Loncor Gold’s Highlights

Loncor’s operational strategy continues to deliver:

  • Foundational Resource: 3.66 million ounces defined, including 1.88 Moz in indicated and 1.78 Moz in inferred resources.
  • Location Advantage: Situated 220 km from Kibali, Africa’s largest gold mine—positioned on the same geological belt.
  • Advanced Exploration: Recent drill holes such as LADD028 returned 13.92m at 6.01 g/t gold, including 7.94m at 9.54 g/t and 0.87m at 82.97 g/t.
  • Scalability: Drilling continues below the current pit shell, targeting further resource expansion and underground potential.
  • High-Grade Focus: Successive holes (LADD027, LADD028) have delivered multiple high-grade intercepts, supporting the project’s Tier 1 potential.

Real-World Relevance

Loncor represents a tangible opportunity to participate in gold’s global resurgence. The company’s Adumbi deposit is not just a number on a page—it’s a physical asset in the ground, drilling results in hand, and development potential in motion. As gold prices soar, ounces in the ground become increasingly valuable—particularly when they’re backed by strong data, favorable location, and a reliable operating record.

Loncor’s focus on expanding Adumbi mirrors the strategy of larger producers, but with greater upside given its exploration-stage valuation. In a world where investors seek assets uncorrelated to equities and currencies, Loncor’s growth narrative offers both scale and scarcity.

Looking Ahead with Loncor Gold

As drilling at Adumbi continues, Loncor remains focused on elevating the deposit to Tier 1 status. The company’s technical team, capital position, and strategic location in the DRC provide a clear path to expansion. With results continuing to confirm both grade and continuity, Loncor appears to be aligning its operational performance with an increasingly favorable macro environment.

Conclusion

In an era of economic uncertainty, gold’s value as a safe haven is proving more resilient than ever. Loncor Gold’s consistent exploration success, location beside one of Africa’s premier gold mines, and growing resource base make it a standout in the emerging producer space.

As global trends fuel further gold upside, Loncor is positioned not just to benefit—but to lead.

Great Atlantic Resources Ready to Ride the $3,000+ Gold Wave and Critical Metals Boom

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 3:20 PM on Tuesday, March 18th, 2025

Industry Outlook and Great Atlantic Resources’ Trajectory

Gold prices have surged to new record highs, fueled by persistent safe-haven demand amid rising geopolitical uncertainty, trade tensions, and an evolving global financial landscape. With April gold futures climbing to $3,034.20 and silver prices following suit, the demand for precious and strategic metals remains strong.

Against this backdrop, Great Atlantic Resources (TSXV: GR) is strategically positioned to capitalize on the current market environment. Operating in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Atlantic Canada, the company’s focus on gold, tungsten, copper, and other critical minerals aligns with global trends favoring resource security and supply chain diversification.

Voices of Authority

Analysts are attributing gold’s strong performance to fundamental shifts in global financial policies. According to SP Angel, “The fragmentation of the past 20 years of globalization is likely a key theme in this gold bull run,” noting that central banks—particularly in China—are increasing their gold reserves as part of a broader de-dollarization strategy.

For junior explorers like Great Atlantic Resources, this trend presents an opportunity. The company’s expanding asset base in New Brunswick and Newfoundland positions it well to potentially benefit from sustained investor interest in metals that serve as both wealth preservation assets and critical industrial inputs.

 

 

Great Atlantic Resources’ Key Strategic Advancements

In step with rising demand for gold and critical minerals, Great Atlantic has taken significant steps to strengthen its portfolio:

Golden Promise Gold Project (Newfoundland) – Gold & Copper Potential

The Golden Promise Gold Project, located in Newfoundland, continues to deliver high-grade gold and copper values, reinforcing its position as a key exploration asset. Notable results include: The most recent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate confirms:

  • 119,900 ounces of gold (Measured & Indicated) at 10.4 g/t gold.
  • 37,600 ounces of gold (Inferred) at 7.1 g/t gold.

Other results include:

  • 0.964 g/t gold from a glacial float boulder.
  • 0.481 g/t gold and >1% copper from an outcrop grab sample.
  • 0.537% copper from a float sample, demonstrating significant base metal potential.

Nashwaak Lake Tungsten Acquisition (New Brunswick) – High-Grade Tungsten

Strategically located near the Sisson Tungsten-Molybdenum Project, Great Atlantic’s Nashwaak Lake property enhances its exposure to critical metals essential for industrial and military applications. Significant historical results include:

  • 2.03% tungsten (2.55% WO₃) in a 2022 rock sample.
  • 0.443% tungsten (0.558% WO₃) over 0.96 meters in a 2009 drill hole.

These grades are well above typical tungsten deposit averages, reinforcing the property’s strong potential for development.

Southwestern New Brunswick Tin-Tungsten Project – Multi-Metal Discovery Potential

Great Atlantic’s newest acquisition includes eight mineral claims covering approximately 4,100 hectares, bordering known deposits and past-producing mines. Historical exploration data has revealed:

  • Tin: 20.3% tin from a 1990 rock sample (float) at the Pughole Claim.
  • Tungsten: 1.66% tungsten (2.09% WO₃) from a 2020 prospecting rock sample at Flume Ridge.
  • Indium: 785 ppm indium, alongside 18.6% zinc and 0.32% tin, from a 1.2-meter intercept at Pughole.
  • Silver: >100 ppm silver and 9.76% lead, 5.64% zinc, 0.94% tin over 0.83 meters in WP-08-24 drill hole.
  • Lithium: 3,840 ppm lithium from a 2019 rock sample at Pleasant Ridge North.

 

 

Real-World Relevance: Why This Matters

The importance of securing reliable sources of gold, tungsten, and battery metals has become a central theme for global economies. As nations prioritize domestic supply chains and resource independence, exploration companies like Great Atlantic Resources play a pivotal role in advancing projects that can contribute to North America’s long-term resource security.

The company’s presence in Atlantic Canada—a region recognized for its low geopolitical risk and strong regulatory framework—further enhances its attractiveness as an investment opportunity. Unlike operations in high-risk jurisdictions, Great Atlantic benefits from stability, clear permitting processes, and access to skilled labor for exploration and development activities.

Looking Ahead: Great Atlantic Resources in the Current Market Cycle

With gold and silver prices reaching new highs, and industrial metals such as tungsten, copper, and tin seeing increased demand, Great Atlantic Resources is potentially well-positioned for future growth. Its project generation model, backed by a diversified portfolio of high-potential properties, provides strong leverage to the prevailing commodity cycle.

The company’s recent acquisitions and exploration activities reinforce its commitment to discovering and developing valuable mineral assets in one of the safest and most mining-friendly regions globally.

Conclusion

As the global resource sector continues to evolve, Great Atlantic Resources stands out as a well-positioned junior exploration company with exposure to gold, critical minerals, and battery metals.

Looking Ahead with FTI Foodtech

As the beauty industry evolves, FTI Foodtech is leading with purpose and innovation. The company is actively seeking distribution partnerships to bring Iluminate and beBlack Cosmetics to major retailers. With strategic acquisitions, blockchain integration, and market expansion, FTI is redefining the future of beauty and wellness.

Investors and consumers alike should take note—FTI Foodtech is not just keeping up with industry trends; it’s shaping them.

Conclusion: A Beauty Revolution with FTI Foodtech

The era of toxic beauty products is ending, and FTI Foodtech is at the forefront of the clean beauty movement. With beBlack Cosmetics, Iluminate, and SmashFace, the company is not just responding to consumer demand—it’s creating a safer, more inclusive beauty future.

For those seeking a brand that values health, innovation, and inclusivity—FTI Foodtech is the name to watch.

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 5:09 PM on Thursday, March 13th, 2025

A Leader in Vanadium Electrolyte Production

VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. (TSX-V: VRB) is emerging as a leader in the rapidly growing sector of long-duration energy storage, specifically through the production of high-quality vanadium electrolyte for Vanadium Flow Batteries (VFBs). These innovative batteries are crucial to the decarbonization of electrical grids worldwide, offering a reliable and sustainable energy storage solution for renewable energy systems.

With its roots deeply embedded in the Canadian mining industry, VanadiumCorp is strategically positioned in Québec, one of the world’s most favorable mining jurisdictions. The company’s commitment to responsible and environmentally sustainable practices aligns with global energy trends and the push for cleaner, greener solutions in energy storage.

Key Milestones Driving Growth

VanadiumCorp’s journey has been marked by several significant milestones, each reinforcing its potential as a key player in the energy storage and critical metals sectors.

  1. Production of Vanadium Electrolyte
    In Q1 2024, VanadiumCorp’s manufacturing plant in Val-des-Sources, Québec, officially began producing high-purity vanadium electrolyte. This marks a pivotal moment for the company, as it secures its place in the growing VFB market, catering to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide. With the capacity to produce 300,000 liters annually, the plant is already positioned to generate initial revenues, setting the stage for further expansion.
  2. Expanding Manufacturing Capacity
    The success of the Val-des-Sources plant has laid the foundation for the company’s ambitious expansion plans. VanadiumCorp is already scoping a second plant in Sherbrooke, Québec, set to produce 4 million liters per year. Expected to come online in Q1 2025, this new facility will significantly enhance the company’s ability to meet the growing demand for VFBs, with a long-term goal of producing 26 million liters of electrolyte annually by 2028.
  3. Lac Doré: A Strategic Mineral Deposit
    VanadiumCorp’s flagship asset, the Lac Doré vanadium-titanium-iron deposit, located near Chibougamau, Québec, promises a stable, long-term supply of vanadium for electrolyte production. The company is actively advancing metallurgical testing and environmental permitting to move the deposit closer to full-scale production. Once operational, the Lac Doré mine could produce 10,000 tonnes of V2O5 per year, providing the foundation for the company’s electrolyte manufacturing needs and positioning VanadiumCorp as a key supplier in the global market.

The Growing Demand for Vanadium Flow Batteries

As renewable energy sources like solar and wind continue to gain momentum, the need for long-duration energy storage solutions has never been more urgent. Vanadium Flow Batteries are uniquely suited to meet this demand, offering the ability to store large amounts of energy over extended periods, unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries. With a lifespan of decades and minimal degradation over time, VFBs represent a compelling solution for stabilizing electrical grids, particularly for projects reliant on variable renewable energy sources.

The global VFB market is expanding rapidly, driven by the need for efficient and durable energy storage solutions. VanadiumCorp’s strategic focus on both electrolyte manufacturing and mineral resource development positions the company to play a vital role in this burgeoning industry.

A Sustainable and Strategic Approach

VanadiumCorp’s success is built on its commitment to environmental sustainability. Its manufacturing facilities operate using clean, hydroelectric power, ensuring a minimal carbon footprint. Additionally, the company’s efforts to incorporate environmentally friendly practices into every aspect of its operations—from mining to production—align with global goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the transition to a cleaner energy future.

As the demand for energy storage continues to soar, VanadiumCorp’s early involvement in both the vanadium supply chain and electrolyte production makes it an exciting player in the energy storage and critical metals space. With a strong track record of achieving milestones, expanding capacity, and securing strategic assets, VanadiumCorp is positioned for continued growth and success in the years to come.
