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.

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.

$15.7M Revenue | $55M+ Backlog | $10M CEO Investment: PyroGenesis Executes on Industrial Cleantech Vision

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:57 PM on Tuesday, May 27th, 2025

A Bold Signal of Confidence from the Helm

In an era when executive skin in the game is more often promised than proven, PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (TSX: PYR | OTCQX: PYRGF | FRA: 8PY1) stands out. CEO P. Peter Pascali has now personally invested over $10 million into the Montreal-based cleantech company, underlining a rare and compelling alignment between management conviction and shareholder interest.

The move comes amid a string of key developments for the company, including a growing $55 million contract backlog, expanding adoption of its proprietary plasma torch technologies, and recent success in producing fumed silica — a widely used industrial material — in a cleaner, more efficient way. In fiscal year 2024, the company achieved $15.7 million in revenue, marking a 27% increase over the previous year and signaling a strong return to growth across its core business segments.

PyroGenesis, a global leader in all-electric plasma solutions, operates at the intersection of industrial decarbonization, waste remediation, and advanced materials manufacturing. Its systems are being commercialized across sectors ranging from aluminum and defense to additive manufacturing and hazardous waste destruction — including aboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.

Strategic Milestones Backed by Founder Commitment

In a recent interview, Pascali addressed his continued investment directly, revealing that beyond recent financings, his total personal contribution now exceeds $10 million.

“I’ve increased my personal holdings over the years and reinvested heavily in the business because I believe in our long-term trajectory. This isn’t just about optics — I’m putting real capital to work,” said Pascali.

While most CEOs receive compensation in options or warrants, Pascali’s recent $5.75 million financing — in the form of a loan to the company — included no common shares. Instead, he accepted warrants as part of the package, providing upside only if the share price increases.

“I benefit only if the company succeeds. That’s the message I want to send — this isn’t about short-term gains; it’s about building something enduring,” he added.

Fumed Silica: A Breakthrough in Clean Production

One of the company’s most exciting breakthroughs is in fumed silica, a versatile material found in thousands of products — from toothpaste and cosmetics to fiber optics and lithium batteries.

In partnership with HPQ Silicon’s subsidiary, Polvere, PyroGenesis has developed a pilot-scale reactor that converts quartz into fumed silica in a single, cleaner, and more energy-efficient step — potentially eliminating hazardous chemicals and reducing energy use versus traditional methods.

Recent independent lab results confirmed that the powder produced in PyroGenesis’ system is indeed high-quality fumed silica, aligning closely with commercial standards used by industry leader Evonik.

Why This Matters:

Traditional fumed silica production is energy-intensive and environmentally harmful. PyroGenesis’ system reduces:

  • Capital and operating costs
  • CO₂ emissions
  • Use of hazardous feedstocks

This could disrupt a high-volume, $1+ billion global industry. Next steps include refining purity and scaling output to 50 tonnes per year — a key commercial milestone. Notably, Evonik has signed an LOI to assess samples, signaling high-level industry validation.

Electrification of Heavy Industry: Plasma Torch Adoption Accelerates

Beyond materials, PyroGenesis is pushing forward on industrial electrification using its patented plasma torch systems. These torches offer a drop-in replacement for fossil-fuel-based burners in high-temperature manufacturing environments like aluminum and steel.

Key Highlights:

  • Plasma torches demonstrated 45% energy savings versus legacy diesel burners
  • In certain trials, melting time decreased by 30%, significantly boosting productivity
  • Major clients include Norsk Hydro, one of the world’s largest aluminum producers, and GE Vernova, with whom PyroGenesis is exploring long-term co-development

These wins are particularly significant because they stem from rigorous, long-cycle evaluations by billion-dollar companies — further proof of the robustness and scalability of PyroGenesis’ technology.

Diversified Business Model Built for Resilience

Rather than relying on a single product or market, PyroGenesis has built a multi-legged platform, delivering solutions across three verticals:

  • Energy Transition & Emission Reduction
  • Commodity Security & Optimization
  • Waste Remediation

This diversified approach offers built-in stability. Should one product line underperform, others can support continued growth — a strategic model that few small-cap companies have executed successfully.

The company’s client base is equally diversified, with customers across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Its business is also insulated from many trade-policy shocks, thanks to flexible global operations and contracts largely denominated in USD or Euros.

Conclusion: A Rare Small-Cap with Vision, Validation, and Velocity

In a market full of speculative narratives, PyroGenesis offers something different: execution.

  • Double-digit revenue growth year-over-year
  • A $55M+ contract backlog with Tier-1 clients
  • Successful lab-to-pilot transition in fumed silica
  • Early adoption of plasma torch electrification
  • And perhaps most important — a CEO with over $10 million of personal capital at stake

PyroGenesis may not yet be a household name, but with multiple industrial revolutions underway — from decarbonization to reshoring of critical materials — it’s a company worth watching.

As Pascali put it, “This is serious work. And we’re just getting started.”

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.

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.

Quantum BioPharma’s Lucid-MS Offers New Hope For Multiple Sclerosis Treatment

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:21 PM on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025

Revolutionizing MS Care: A New Approach Emerges

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects about 2.8 million people worldwide, causing symptoms like tiredness, difficulty moving, and memory problems. Traditional treatments mainly focus on controlling the immune system to reduce inflammation, but they don’t always address the damage done to the protective covering around nerve fibers, which leads to ongoing disability.

Quantum BioPharma, a company focused on new treatments for brain and nerve diseases, is taking a different approach with Lucid-MS. This new compound aims to protect and even repair the nerve fiber covering, offering a fresh approach to treating MS.

Lucid-MS: A New Treatment Option

Lucid-MS is a patented compound designed to stop and even reverse the damage to the nerve fiber covering, which is a key factor in MS. Unlike current treatments that focus on controlling the immune system, Lucid-MS works to protect and restore the nerve covering without affecting the immune system.

Clinical Milestone: Phase 1 Trial Completed

In February 2025, Quantum BioPharma announced that it successfully completed the first phase of testing Lucid-MS in healthy adults. The trial tested the safety and how the body processes the compound. The results showed no serious side effects, and Lucid-MS was well-tolerated by all participants.

Dr. Andrzej Chruscinski, Vice President of Scientific and Clinical Affairs at Quantum BioPharma, said, “We’re excited that this Phase 1 trial is complete and that Lucid-MS was found to be safe and well-tolerated. This is an important step forward and sets the stage for the next phase of development.”

Moving to Phase 2: Targeting MS Patients

Now that Phase 1 is complete, Quantum BioPharma is getting ready to start Phase 2 trials to test Lucid-MS in people with MS. This phase will focus on seeing if Lucid-MS can slow or stop the damage to the nerve covering in people with MS.

CEO Zeeshan Saeed shared his excitement: “We’re very hopeful that Lucid-MS can protect the nerve covering in MS patients, which represents a new approach to treating the disease. With Phase 1 complete and the safety confirmed, we’re now ready to move on to testing it in MS patients.”

Working Together: Improving MS Diagnosis

Along with developing Lucid-MS, Quantum BioPharma is working with scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital to test a new imaging technique. This advanced scan will help doctors see the condition of the nerve covering in MS patients, giving a better way to track the disease and see how well treatments are working.

Conclusion: A Bright Future for MS Treatment

Quantum BioPharma’s work with Lucid-MS could change the way MS is treated by focusing on protecting and repairing nerve fibers, rather than just controlling the immune system. As they move forward with Phase 2 trials, both doctors and patients are eagerly awaiting what comes next.

280,000 Ounces of Gold, Major Critical Minerals & Near $5.5B in M&A: Renforth’s Moment Is Here

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 12:48 PM on Thursday, April 3rd, 2025

Renforth Resources: Positioned for Gold and Critical Mineral Success in Quebec

In a compelling new interview with AGORACOM, Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR | OTCQB: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) CEO Nicole Brewster laid out a clear and convincing case for why this Canadian junior exploration company is exceptionally well-positioned amid record gold prices and rising global demand for critical minerals. With flagship assets in Quebec’s world-renowned Abitibi mining district, Renforth is advancing both its 100%-owned Parbec Gold Deposit and the massive Malartic Metals Package — a combined landholding that sits in one of the richest and most active mining corridors in North America.

Strategic Location Beside Mining Giants

Renforth’s Parbec Gold Project is situated directly adjacent to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine, the country’s largest open-pit gold mine. The deposit already contains 280,000 ounces of gold (101,000 oz indicated, 177,000 oz inferred), with a new NI 43-101 resource estimate expected soon. This update will include 15,000 metres of additional drilling and could significantly increase the gold resource, especially with current gold prices near C$4,500/oz.

The Parbec project benefits from exceptional infrastructure: direct road access, two hydroelectric lines crossing the property, nearby toll milling facilities, and close proximity to the Glencore-owned Horn Smelter. As Brewster puts it, “It can’t get cheaper than this — the economics of development in this region are simply unbeatable.”

Malartic Metals Package: A Critical Mineral Powerhouse

Located just north of Parbec, the 300 km² Malartic Metals Package hosts the emerging 20-kilometre-long Victoria nickel-sulphide polymetallic structure. Recent metallurgical results show that the mineralization — which includes nickel, zinc, copper, cobalt, and silver — is hosted in conventional sulphide minerals, indicating potential for standard, cost-effective processing.

Initial mineralogical analysis and TOMRA sorting tests demonstrate strong early signs of recoverability and grade optimization. Brewster also confirmed that Renforth is working with SGS to determine whether its current drilling supports a maiden resource — an important step toward unlocking value in this new discovery.

In the Midst of $5.6 Billion in M&A

Renforth is surrounded by major mining players. Agnico Eagle has spent billions acquiring and consolidating deposits across the Abitibi in recent years, including the Yamana and O3 Mining deals. Parbec sits right in the middle of this activity, offering both strategic value and expansion potential to any nearby operator looking to sustain mill throughput or grow their regional footprint.

“This is a proven gold deposit, sitting beside a mine that’s going underground and needs more ore. The strategic value is obvious,” Brewster stated.

Quebec Advantage: Cost, Policy, and Market Access

Renforth’s position in Quebec provides significant advantages beyond geology. The province is routinely ranked as a top-tier mining jurisdiction globally, and the Quebec government recently introduced new stimulus programs specifically aimed at accelerating critical mineral exploration. With access to hydroelectric power, deepwater ports, rail lines, and North America’s battery manufacturing corridor, Renforth’s assets are ideally situated to capitalize on emerging resource trends.

Conclusion: Value Waiting to Be Realized

Despite world-class assets, infrastructure, and jurisdictional advantages, Brewster noted that capital has been hard to come by for juniors — and that Renforth has instead prioritized drilling and science over promotional spending. “We’ve outlined real metals in the ground that aren’t going anywhere. What we’re building is real,” she said.

With a new gold resource estimate imminent, growing strategic relevance in the critical minerals space, and near-term catalysts ahead, Renforth Resources appears to be an underappreciated player in a district that continues to deliver major value.

For those seeking exposure to gold and critical minerals in one of the most mining-friendly regions in the world, Renforth may be one to watch.

Gold Prices Hit Record Highs—Exploration in Atlantic Canada Gains Momentum

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 2:51 PM on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025

 

Introduction:

As global markets reel from mounting trade tensions and volatile policy decisions, one trend is crystal clear—investors are turning to gold in search of stability. Gold prices have surged to record highs, recently touching $3,177 per ounce. This flight to safety is reshaping the investment landscape.

Great Atlantic Resources (GR: TSXV) is positioned in the geopolitically stable and resource-rich region of Atlantic Canada, the company is emerging as a standout player amid the growing demand for critical metals and safe-haven assets.

Industry Outlook and Great Atlantic Resources’ Trajectory:

The current gold surge—driven by tariffs, recession fears, and currency instability—has created a tailwind for exploration-focused companies. Analysts forecast gold could climb to $3,500 per ounce within 18 months. Against this backdrop, Great Atlantic Resources is gaining traction with its high-grade gold assets and diversified critical metals portfolio. Operating in Newfoundland and New Brunswick, Great Atlantic offers the dual advantage of premier geology and low political risk, situating it well within this evolving market uptrend.

Voices of Authority:

Michael Widmer, Head of Metals Research at Bank of America, notes that the surge is “almost exclusively driven” by economic policy uncertainty, further validating the move toward gold-focused strategies. Meanwhile, certified financial planner Lee Baker emphasizes gold’s enduring role as a safe-haven: “When it seems like the world is going to hell in a handbasket, gold usually appreciates.” These insights align directly with Great Atlantic’s exploration model, which seeks to capitalize on long-term demand rather than short-term hype.

Great Atlantic Resources Highlights:

In response to the rising global demand for gold and critical minerals, Great Atlantic Resources has made key strides to strengthen its diversified portfolio across Atlantic Canada:

Golden Promise Gold Project (Newfoundland) – High-Grade Gold with Copper Upside

The Golden Promise Project continues to stand out as a cornerstone asset within Newfoundland’s emerging gold district. The latest NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate confirms:

  • 119,900 ounces of gold (Inferred) at an average grade of 10.4 g/t Au

  • 37,600 ounces of gold (Inferred) at 7.1 g/t Au

Recent trenching and sampling have further demonstrated both precious and base metal potential:

  • 0.964 g/t gold from a glacial float boulder

  • 0.481 g/t gold and over 1% copper from an outcrop grab sample
  • 0.537% copper from a float sample

These results confirm Golden Promise as a dual-target project for gold and copper discovery.

Nashwaak Lake Property (New Brunswick) – High-Grade Tungsten Potential

Located just 3 km northwest of the advanced-stage Sisson Project, Great Atlantic’s Nashwaak Lake Property positions the company in a strategic tungsten corridor. Key historical intercepts include:

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

These grades exceed the global average for tungsten deposits, highlighting Nashwaak Lake’s development potential in critical metals supply.

Southwestern New Brunswick Tin-Tungsten Project – Polymetallic Discovery Platform

Covering approximately 4,100 hectares across eight mineral claims, this newly acquired land package borders known deposits and historic producers. Historical data reveals:

  • Tin: 20.3% tin from a 1990 float sample at the Pughole Claim
  • Tungsten: 1.66% W (2.09% WO₃) from a 2020 prospecting sample at Flume Ridge
  • Indium & Zinc: 785 ppm indium, 18.6% zinc, and 0.32% tin over 1.2 meters (WP-08-23)
  • Silver & Lead: >100 ppm silver, 9.76% lead, 5.64% zinc, and 0.94% tin over 0.83 meters (WP-08-24)
  • Lithium: Up to 3,840 ppm lithium from 2019 float samples at Pleasant Ridge North

This multi-element project is emerging as a promising hub for critical and strategic metals exploration in Atlantic Canada.

Real-world Relevance:

Great Atlantic’s projects offer more than promising grades—they represent exposure to metals fundamental to infrastructure, electrification, and economic security. In a world where diversification is key, Great Atlantic’s mix of gold and critical minerals such as tungsten, lithium, and antimony reflects a broader strategy for navigating modern volatility.

Looking Ahead with Great Atlantic Resources:

With global uncertainty fueling investor demand for tangible, resource-based value, Great Atlantic Resources is building a portfolio designed for relevance in both gold bull markets and the critical metals renaissance. The company’s exploration momentum, resource-grade assets, and strategic geography set the stage for meaningful developments in the quarters ahead.

Conclusion:

As gold continues to break records and the search for secure, high-grade assets intensifies, Great Atlantic Resources presents a compelling opportunity rooted in geology, jurisdiction, and timing. For those seeking exposure to gold with upside in critical metals, Great Atlantic is a name to watch.
