HIGHLIGHTS:
Bonanza-Grade Upside: Historic samples up to 204 g/t gold at Lake Cargelligo in Australia’s prolific Cobar Mining District.
Next-Gen Exploration: AI-powered targeting and modern geophysics set to unlock previously missed zones in Q3 2025.
Multi-Commodity Growth: Exposure to gold, uranium (Athabasca Basin), and lithium (James Bay & New Mexico).
Leadership That Delivers: New CEO Andrew Watson brings a capital-efficient strategy backed by a veteran technical team with global discovery success.
In a year when gold just hit an all-time high of $3,430 USD ($4,700 CAD) per ounce, Lancaster Resources is positioning itself squarely at the intersection of market momentum and strategic resource acquisition. The company has secured the Lake Cargelligo project in New South Wales — a 287 sq. km property in the proven but underexplored Cobar Mining District.
CEO Andrew Watson, newly appointed to lead the company through its next phase of growth, calls the project “a potential company-maker” — and not without reason. With historic bonanza-grade samples up to 204 g/t gold and multiple zones of mineralization identified over a 25 km strike length, Lancaster believes it’s targeting the kind of scale that has delivered multi-million-ounce discoveries in the past.
“Lake Cargelligo checks all the boxes: a tier-one mining jurisdiction, historic high-grade samples, and zero modern geophysics. We believe it holds the scale potential of a Fort Knox-style discovery.” – Andrew Watson, CEO, Lancaster Resources
DISTRICT SCALE POTENTIAL
Lake Cargelligo offers district-scale potential in a gold-producing region that already hosts mines with resources exceeding 1.7 million ounces. Lancaster Resources is preparing to deploy next-generation geophysics and AI-powered targeting technologies, aiming to identify mineralized zones that were missed during earlier, shallow drilling campaigns.
To strengthen its exploration program, the company has engaged two seasoned Australian geologists — Ross Brown, with over 40 years of global exploration experience, and Rob Heaslop, known for his operational depth and discovery track record.
STRATEGIC DEPTH: MORE THAN JUST GOLD
While gold remains Lancaster’s near-term focus, the company is building long-term strategic depth across multiple critical commodities. It holds two uranium properties in Canada’s Athabasca Basin — the world’s top uranium district — positioning it to benefit from rising energy demand driven by AI and electrification.
Additionally, its lithium portfolio includes brine assets in New Mexico and hard-rock claims in Quebec’s James Bay region, offering exposure to the growing need for energy storage solutions.
CONCLUSION
Lancaster’s portfolio is aligned with three of the strongest commodity trends in the global market today: gold, uranium, and lithium. With near-term exploration at Lake Cargelligo set to begin in Q3 2025, and a veteran technical team in place, Lancaster is emerging as a compelling small cap to watch.

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.
A $27 million contract from a U.S. defense and aerospace contractor to build a 20-megawatt plasma torch — believed to be among the most powerful ever produced.
The U.S. Department of Defense tapped PyroGenesis to destroy toxic PFAS chemicals with its advanced plasma technology.
This kind of customer validation doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of more than a decade of R&D, patents, and performance.
Three Verticals, One Mission: Clean Industry
PyroGenesis’ strategy is built around three core business verticals — all aligned with global industrial needs:
Energy Transition & Emission Reduction Replacing fossil fuel burners with electric plasma torches in steel, aluminum, and cement production.
Waste Remediation Destroying toxic “forever chemicals” and hazardous waste with zero-emissions plasma tech.
Commodity Security & Optimization Recovering critical minerals, creating high-purity powders, and transforming waste into valuable materials like renewable natural gas and fumed silica.
This diversified approach positions PyroGenesis not just as a clean tech company — but as an essential solutions provider for modern industry.
Operational Momentum and Market Tailwinds
2025 has opened with strong tailwinds. The company:
Secured new contracts with multi-billion-dollar clients in aluminum and waste-to-energy sectors.
Launched joint studies with GE Vernova, targeting furnace electrification for iron ore pelletization and aluminum smelting.
Advanced live-furnace testing for aluminum and steel plasma heating with multiple global manufacturers.
With governments and industries accelerating toward decarbonization targets, demand for factory-ready, emission-reducing technology is surging — and PyroGenesis is delivering.
The Bottom Line: Execution Meets Opportunity
PyroGenesis is no longer just a tech innovator — it’s a proven commercial operator with real clients, real contracts, and real momentum. Its plasma technologies are solving multi-billion-dollar problems across energy, defense, aerospace, and heavy manufacturing.
As industries demand cleaner, faster, and smarter ways to produce materials, PyroGenesis is answering with a rare combination: breakthrough innovation and operational scale.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

A Major Step Forward for a Junior Explorer With Proven Vision
In a landscape where small-cap mining companies often struggle to produce meaningful results, Renforth Resources (CSE: RFR | OTC: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) has just delivered a development that could significantly shift its standing in the gold sector.
In an exclusive interview, CEO Nicole Brewster confirmed a 29% increase in the gold resource at the company’s flagship Parbec Gold Deposit in Quebec. This brings the total to 363,000 ounces of gold, of which 265,000 ounces are now classified as Measured and Indicated—a substantial upgrade in confidence and quality. Notably, 12% of the total ounces are in the Measured category, and 87% of the ounces are within a Whittle pit shell, underscoring the deposit’s open-pit viability and potential economic value.
All of this is happening next door to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine, one of the largest and most productive gold operations in the country.
Why This Matters: Grade, Location, and Optionality
Renforth’s Parbec project lies on the prolific Cadillac Break, a structure responsible for over 100 million ounces of historical gold production in Canada. Yet Parbec is no mere geological curiosity. It is:
Surface-exposed and fully road-accessible;
Situated beside Canada’s largest open-pit gold mine;
Host to infrastructure including a historic underground ramp;
Surrounded by multiple toll-milling facilities operated by Agnico Eagle and other major producers;
And now, significantly de-risked with its enhanced resource classification.
This strategic location puts Renforth in a rare position to benefit from regional processing demand.
“With this update, 73% of Parbec’s ounces are now in the Measured and Indicated categories,” said Brewster. “We consider Parbec a small-scale replica of Canadian Malartic — same geology, same break, similar surface profile.”
Flexible Pathways to Monetization
Renforth is not committing to a single development path. Instead, it is evaluating a range of monetization options:
Sale: Parbec’s location, ounces, and infrastructure make it an ideal bolt-on asset for a producer like Agnico Eagle, whose “fill-the-mill” strategy is now in full swing following acquisitions like the Marban project.
Joint Venture: Brewster confirmed the company has received partnership inquiries and could benefit from joint development.
Toll Milling / Bulk Sampling: If desired, Renforth could begin small-scale production through existing infrastructure, with low capex and minimal environmental footprint.
Further exploration could still add additional ounces, especially in areas beneath the current pit model and into the Pontiac sediments, where new gold-bearing structures have already been identified.
Macro Tailwinds: Gold’s Rise Aligns With Renforth’s Momentum
The timing of this update couldn’t be more strategic. Gold is trading above $3,200 USD per ounce, and many experts, including Brewster, expect it to remain above $3,000 throughout 2025, driven by central bank buying, geopolitical instability, and inflationary concerns.
Renforth’s latest resource estimate was calculated at $2,100 USD per ounce, suggesting further upside potential if gold prices hold or increase.
Internally, the company has already run sensitivity analyses using higher gold prices, which indicate more ounces could be captured in future updates.
The Bigger Picture: Strategic Fit in a Global Mining Corridor
Renforth’s Parbec project aligns neatly with a growing global emphasis on resource security and domestic development. With Canada reaffirming its role as a stable jurisdiction for mining, and gold once again capturing investor attention, Renforth has a credible, scalable project in a tier-one location.
Add in the exploration upside, established infrastructure, and multiple monetization options, and the result is a company with more than just potential — it has momentum.
Final Thoughts
In an industry where many juniors struggle to translate drill results into real-world opportunity, Renforth Resources has delivered what few others have: a tangible, credible, and increasingly valuable gold asset in one of the world’s most prolific mining jurisdictions.
The 363,000-ounce Parbec resource — 87% of it in an open-pit shell and 265,000 ounces in Measured and Indicated — isn’t just a milestone. It’s a statement.
And as Brewster concluded: “We’re in no rush. Time is on our side — and so is gold.”

From clinical breakthroughs in multiple sclerosis to a fast-growing alcohol detox brand, Quantum BioPharma is bridging biotech innovation with real-world impact.
A Biopharma Platform Tackling Today’s Toughest Health Challenges
Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM | CSE: QNTM) is emerging as a dynamic force in the biotechnology sector, developing solutions for two major public health issues: neurodegenerative diseases and alcohol misuse. With a diversified pipeline spanning prescription drugs and over-the-counter consumer products, the company is building an integrated portfolio capable of delivering both near-term commercial gains and long-term medical breakthroughs.
The company’s strategy is uniquely positioned at the intersection of science, innovation, and unmet need — making it one of the few small-cap biotechs advancing both FDA-bound therapeutics and consumer-ready wellness products simultaneously.
Lucid-MS: Targeting the Root Cause of Multiple Sclerosis
At the heart of Quantum’s pharmaceutical program is Lucid-MS, a patented new chemical entity showing early promise in treating multiple sclerosis (MS). Unlike conventional MS drugs that focus on managing inflammation, Lucid-MS addresses the core driver of long-term disability in MS: the breakdown of the myelin sheath — the protective layer around nerve fibers.
Following a successful Phase 1 clinical trial, the drug has been deemed safe and well-tolerated, with therapeutic blood levels observed in healthy participants. Quantum is now preparing to launch a Phase 2 trial in 2026, targeting efficacy in MS patients.
What makes Lucid-MS even more distinctive is Quantum’s collaborative study with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), featuring scientists from Harvard Medical School, to validate advanced PET imaging as a way to monitor demyelination in real time. This partnership elevates both the scientific credibility and clinical precision behind Lucid-MS, positioning it as a next-generation therapeutic candidate in a $27 billion global MS treatment market.
unbuzzd™: A Consumer Wellness Product with Scientific Backing
In parallel with its clinical pipeline, Quantum BioPharma is making significant inroads in the consumer wellness market through unbuzzd™, an over-the-counter alcohol detox and recovery beverage developed by its spinout, Celly Nutrition Corp. The product, a fast-acting powder stick formulated by pharmacology experts, is designed to accelerate alcohol metabolism, restore mental clarity, and reduce hangover symptoms.
unbuzzd™ is already making retail waves. Backed by a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, the beverage demonstrated that it could reduce blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over 40% faster than placebo in many subjects. It’s now available via Amazon and unbuzzd.com, with retail expansion underway in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean through a new distribution agreement with FUSION Distribution Group.
Most recently, unbuzzd™ entered a landmark partnership with AATAC, one of the largest retail networks in the U.S., which connects the product to over 80,000 convenience store locations. This expansion gives unbuzzd™ exposure to leading chains like 7-Eleven, Circle K, Shell, and ampm — significantly scaling its retail footprint.
Multiple Value Streams, One Vision
Quantum BioPharma holds 25.71% ownership in Celly Nutrition and receives up to 7% in royalties from unbuzzd™ sales until a $250M threshold is met — and 3% in perpetuity thereafter. This structure offers upside exposure to the high-growth consumer market while maintaining strategic focus on the pharmaceutical pipeline.
With an improved cash position, enhanced operational efficiency, and momentum across both drug development and consumer wellness fronts, the company is now advancing toward key inflection points on multiple fronts.
A Biotech Story Worth Watching
With a first-in-class MS treatment advancing toward Phase 2 trials, a consumer product already on shelves and gaining market traction, and elite partnerships with global institutions like Harvard and AATAC — Quantum BioPharma stands apart in the small-cap biotech landscape.
It’s not just a company developing drugs. It’s building a platform for impact, backed by scientific validation and commercial momentum.

In this interview with AGORACOM, Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR | OTCQB: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) CEO Nicole Brewster discusses the company’s newly updated 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100%-owned Parbec Gold Deposit in Quebec — a move that significantly strengthens the company’s value proposition at a time when gold prices continue to surge. The updated estimate now totals 363,000 ounces of gold, marking a 29% increase over the previous figure and signaling growing maturity and confidence in the deposit. Notably, 265,000 ounces are now categorized as Measured and Indicated, and 87% of the total resource sits within an open pit — directly adjacent to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine, one of Canada’s largest gold operations.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS: Open Pit Advantage: With mineralization starting at surface and a pit depth of 300 meters, Parbec’s economics are compelling, especially with nearby toll milling options. Strategic Fit for Agnico: The project’s location beside Canadian Malartic and proximity to multiple mills makes it a potential solution for Agnico Eagle’s “fill-the-mill” strategy — especially amid $5.6B in M&A activity in the district.
Clear Monetization Path: CEO Nicole Brewster outlines a three-path strategy: sale, joint venture, or self-development, including a plan to initiate stripping and bulk sampling this summer for potential cash flow.
A COMPELLING QUOTE FROM THE CEO “We are very happy to deliver this significant size increase to our open pit gold deposit next door to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic mine… With this MRE, 87% of the gold ounces within the resource estimate are contained within the accompanying open pit.” — Nicole Brewster, CEO
WHY INVESTORS SHOULD WATCH THIS INTERVIEW Renforth has done what many small caps struggle to achieve: increase its resource size while also upgrading confidence categories — all while controlling costs and maintaining 100% ownership in one of the world’s top-ranked mining jurisdictions. With strategic positioning next to Canada’s mining giant, viable paths to monetization, and growing relevance in a high-gold-price environment, Parbec is moving from potential to probability.
This interview isn’t just an update — it’s a real-time look into how Renforth is strategically unlocking value from its assets and evaluating serious next steps. Watch the full interview now to understand why Renforth could be a key player in Quebec’s next wave of gold development.
