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

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

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

Background and Context

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

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

Parbec: Surface Program Targets a 12.2-Meter Gold Channel

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

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

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

Victoria: First Nickel Polymetallic Resource Establishes Scale

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

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

What Stands Out: Practical Advantages, Not Just Geology

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

Executive and Technical Commentary

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

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

Potential Impact and Significance

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

Challenges and Considerations

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

Conclusion

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

The Critical Role of the Myelin Sheath – And How Quantum BioPharma Is Advancing the Next Frontier in MS Neuroprotection

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 3:39 PM on Wednesday, October 29th, 2025

Quantum BioPharma (NASDAQ/CSE: QNTM) is advancing a novel therapeutic approach to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) — one centered not on suppressing the immune system, but on targeting the underlying biology of demyelination, the core driver of neurodegeneration in MS. To understand why this approach matters, it’s critical to understand the role of the myelin sheath.

What Is the Myelin Sheath and Why Does It Matter?

The myelin sheath is a fatty, insulating layer that wraps around nerve cell axons — acting like the high-speed wiring system of the nervous system. It is produced by specialized glial cells: oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.

Myelin’s value comes from four critical functions:

  • Insulation: Prevents electrical “leaks” in signal transmission
  • Speed: Enables saltatory conduction — signals “jump” node to node (up to 100× faster)
  • Efficiency: Reduces the energy neurons need to fire signals
  • System control: Supports cognition, movement, perception, and coordination

Without myelin, the electrical messages between brain and body slow, weaken, or misfire — leading to the symptoms widely associated with neurological disorders like MS.

What Happens in Multiple Sclerosis

In MS, the myelin sheath is progressively damaged — historically thought to be caused only by immune system attack. However, leading researchers now point to a second process at play: a degenerative component that occurs independently of immune activity.

Both pathways lead to demyelination — the loss or disruption of the myelin sheath — resulting in impaired communication between neurons.

This degradation is what produces the hallmark symptoms of MS:

  • Loss of motor coordination
  • Impaired sensory perception
  • Declining cognitive function
  • Fatigue and loss of balance

Quantum BioPharma’s Approach: Precision Neuroprotection

Unlike conventional immunosuppressive MS treatments, Lucid-MS – Quantum’s patented lead drug candidate — is not immunomodulatory.

Instead, it is designed to address demyelination at the biological level, advancing a neuroprotective strategy that could complement, rather than compete with, existing immune-focused treatments.

Lucid-MS has completed successful Phase 1 human safety trials, with no serious adverse events reported. Multiple animal studies have demonstrated significant activity relevant to demyelination biology, providing additional confidence as Quantum advances toward a Phase 2 clinical trial in people with MS.

A Thoughtful, Science-Driven Evolution in MS Treatment Strategy

The global MS treatment market is heavily concentrated on slowing immune system attack. Quantum BioPharma is moving deeper — focusing on the root mechanisms of nerve damage itself.

Its approach signals an evolution in neuroscience:

  • From suppression → to protection 
  • From reaction → to resilience 
  • From slowing disease → to targeting its biological engine 

Looking Ahead

Quantum BioPharma is positioning Lucid-MS within the growing global focus on regenerative and neuroprotective medicine. As regulatory preparation accelerates, the company continues to emphasize precision science, data integrity, and clinical depth — not speculation.

Kidoz Redefines Privacy-First AdTech as Global Industry Forecast to Approach $2.5 Trillion

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 4:27 PM on Tuesday, October 28th, 2025

In a digital economy where the global AdTech market is projected to surpass USD 2.5 trillion by 2032, one company is quietly redefining what it means to advertise safely and effectively—Kidoz Inc. (TSXV: KDOZ | OTCQB: KDOZF).

A Scalable AdTech Platform for the Modern Era

Kidoz operates a global, privacy-first advertising network built for the new digital reality: one where regulations, compliance, and user protection are non-negotiable. Its proprietary Kidoz Safe Ad Network and Prado SDK enable contextual, data-free campaigns that reach audiences worldwide—spanning children, teens, and families—without sacrificing performance or compliance.

The company’s technology powers high-engagement mobile campaigns across more than 60 countries, supporting a billion-plus active gamers and app users. This scale has translated into measurable results, with Kidoz reporting record first-half 2025 revenue of USD $5.17 million, a 21% year-over-year increase, and over CAD $57 million in cumulative revenue over the past three years.

Riding the AdTech Expansion Wave

Global AdTech is growing fast—driven by AI, programmatic automation, and the surge in mobile engagement. As advertisers seek ways to comply with GDPR, COPPA, and new privacy acts worldwide, Kidoz stands out as one of the few networks fully aligned with these requirements from inception.

With AI-driven contextual targeting and a real-time campaign engine, Kidoz offers a blueprint for how digital marketing can evolve without intrusive data collection. Its model fits perfectly within an industry that’s moving toward transparency, accountability, and measurable ROI.

Innovation and Strategic Growth

Behind Kidoz’s success is a commitment to constant reinvestment. In 2025, R&D spending rose 48% year-over-year, while marketing surged 95% as the company expanded global awareness. Its platform enhancements—including the proprietary Kite IQ AI engine—enable smarter ad matching, delivering relevant experiences to users while maintaining full compliance.

These strategic investments ensure Kidoz remains competitive against giants in the USD 81 billion mobile gaming ad sector, where immersive formats and interactivity are defining the next frontier of engagement.

The Power of Privacy-First Design

Regulatory pressure has become one of the strongest tailwinds in digital advertising. Global frameworks such as GDPR and CCPA demand that companies handle user data responsibly—or face steep penalties. Kidoz’s advantage lies in the fact that its systems were purpose-built for compliance.

Its infrastructure is Google-certified, Apple-approved, and among the first to align with the EU AI Act. This foundation not only minimizes risk for advertisers but also offers a scalable path to growth in sectors where user trust is paramount.

Positioning for the Next Chapter

After years of disciplined execution, Kidoz is evolving from category pioneer to category leader. It now serves as a full-stack AdTech company, offering supply-side, demand-side, and ad-exchange solutions through a unified platform.

As global ad spend continues to shift toward mobile and contextual formats, Kidoz’s privacy-first ecosystem positions it squarely within the fastest-growing segments of the AdTech market.

Bottom line:
Kidoz Inc. represents the next generation of advertising technology—one built not on user tracking, but on intelligence, integrity, and innovation. In a USD 2.5 trillion industry racing toward automation and accountability, Kidoz stands out as a company built for the future of digital engagement.

BEYOND THE MIC: PyroGenesis CEO Commits Up To $4 Million in Fresh Financing – Here’s Why That Matters

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 5:31 PM on Tuesday, October 21st, 2025

PyroGenesis Inc. (TSX: PYR; OTCQX: PYRGF; FRA: 8PY1) isn’t your typical micro-cap industrial. The Montreal-based company has spent three decades building a portfolio of all-electric plasma technologies used in heavy industry and defense—ranging from plasma torches and waste destruction systems to titanium powders for additive manufacturing. 

In a new interview, President & CEO P. Peter Pascali detailed a financing move that normally wouldn’t warrant headlines: a non-brokered private placement. What elevates this one is simple—he plans to personally invest roughly up to $4 million. The conversation offers investors a clear window into the “why,” the mechanics of the raise, and how management is positioning PyroGenesis against choppy macro currents.

The Raise, Explained: Two Unit Structures, One Message

The placement is split into two unit groups—a structure driven by TSX rules that limit insider participation over a six-month window:

  • Unit Group A (CEO tranche):
    ~6.67 million units at $0.63 each; each unit includes one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.28 for 48 months.
    Intent: Mr. Pascali expects to subscribe for most or all of this group.
  • Unit Group B (general tranche):
    4 million units at $0.20 each; each unit includes one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.40 for 24 months.

Both groups may close in up to three tranches and carry the standard four-months-and-a-day hold.

Investor takeaway: the CEO is committing significant personal capital on terms that require future execution to pay off.

Why Now? A Candid View From the Corner Office

Pascali’s rationale blends conviction with pragmatism:

  • Alignment by design. He is already the largest shareholder, and has invested more than $13 million in recent years (and has provided short-term loans when needed
  • Execution. Management points to a previously disclosed ~$50–51 million backlog and named collaborations in Europe (Constellium, Norsk Hydro, GE). European customers reassessed broader plans as their economies experienced volatility at different times, but PyroGenesis continued to innovate, sign new contracts, and prepare for the eventual start of the projects associated to these major collaborations.
  • Geographic momentum. The **Middle East—particularly Saudi Arabia—**is emerging as a growth lane, with leadership pushing industrial modernization, localization, and advanced manufacturing (including 3D printing). PyroGenesis already manufactures key systems in the U.S. when needed, which can blunt tariff effects and streamline deliveries.

Strategy in Plain English: What PyroGenesis Actually Does

PyroGenesis develops and commercializes ultra-high-temperature, all-electric plasma technologies that help heavy industry:

  • Replace fossil-fuel burners with plasma torches in high-temp industrial processes.
  • Convert problematic waste into usable by-products or safely destroy it.
  • Produce advanced materials, including critical minerals such as titanium powders for 3D printing.

These are factory-floor solutions, not lab concepts. The company’s systems have been adopted by conservative, blue-chip operators precisely because they target efficiency, cost, reliability, emissions, and throughput—the metrics that matter to plant managers and CFOs alike.

What’s Different About This Moment

Capital discipline and access. In a market where many micro-caps face higher rates, sticky inflation, and slower funding, PyroGenesis can partially self-fund growth through insider participation while it executes on signed work.

Operational resilience. The company builds in both Canada and the U.S. to satisfy customer or policy requirements and actively monitors supplier health to reduce tariff and supply-chain risk.

Selective innovation. The team prioritizes projects with repeat-order potential and credible paths to scale—“no Hail Marys,” as Pascali puts it. That philosophy underpins a strategy designed for recurring orders rather than one-off wins.

Risks, Put Straight

No leader sugarcoated the macro picture. The CEO flagged:

  • Market volatility that seemingly changes weekly.
  • Tariffs that impact customers’ bottom lines, even when PyroGenesis itself can manufacture locally and in the U.S. to stay relatively free of tariff impact.
  • Working-capital timing, especially where large industrial clients phase payments.

The counterweight: a 34 year history of navigating shocks, a diversified customer base (mostly in Europe and the Middle East), strong backlog, and the CEO’s capital at work.

Why Investors Are Paying Attention

For current and prospective shareholders, several points stand out:

  • Skin in the game: An up to ~$4 million personal commitment from the CEO—on tougher terms
  • Industrial credibility: Deployed systems in demanding environments (on land and at sea), across 22 countries, and long-term relationships with leading metals manufacturers.
  • Path to scale: A backlog that underwrites near-term activity, plus growth vectors in Europe, North America, and the Gulf.
  • Constant Innovation: as an example, the company has increased the power of its plasma torches 20X in 5 years, from 900kW to 20MW, while improving efficiency – widening the addressable market at both the higher power (top) and lower cost (bottom) ends.

The Bottom Line

PyroGenesis is not a concept story; it’s a commercialization story. The private placement—especially the CEO’s tranche—won’t solve every macro headwind, but it does two important things: it fortifies working capital without bank leverage, and it tightens alignment between leadership and shareholders at a pivotal stage.

As Pascali put it, the decision is ultimately judged by execution. With a $50M+ backlog, marquee industrial customers, and growing demand for electrified, cleaner high-heat processes across many different heavy industries, the company has tangible levers to pull. In a market that rewards focus and resilience, PyroGenesis is making a case that it has both.

This Small Cap AI Company Is Building Toward the Deloitte of the AI + Web3 Era

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 3:56 PM on Thursday, October 16th, 2025

A RARE COMEBACK STORY

In a market where most halted small-cap companies never return, Fobi AI has defied expectations. Under a cease-trade order since November 2024, the company didn’t fade into obscurity—the company reported nearly $3 million in 2024 revenue, including approximately $2.2 million from the sale of its German subsidiary. As CEO Rob Anson put it: “Most companies would have folded under these circumstances. We fought through every obstacle legal, financial, and market-driven and we’re coming back stronger than ever.”

FROM SURVIVAL TO STRATEGY

Fobi turned a year of constraint into a year of transformation: Consolidated operations with an annual run rate under $1.3M, enabling scale with fewer than 10 employees Redirected capital from the Passcreator sale into next-gen AI-powered wallet platforms Positioned itself as a lean, execution-first company with live products in the market

ENTERING A MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR ARENA

The company isn’t merely returning, it’s relaunching with sharper focus. Fobi’s ambition is to become the “Deloitte of the AI + Web3 era,” offering enterprises not just strategy, but real-time implementation through integrated wallets, identity verification, and automation platforms. With applications across stadiums, airports, healthcare, and finance, the addressable market spans multiple sectors.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR INVESTORS

Clear Market Fit: Enterprise clients need AI integration that traditional consultants can’t deliver Execution Edge: Products are live, scalable, and already generating client interest

LOOKING AHEAD

Fobi’s comeback is more than a return to trading—it is a reset. With tangible revenues, streamlined operations, and a future-focused product suite, the company is positioning itself as one of the rare small-cap survivors with the potential to thrive in the AI and Web3 economy. For investors, this represents a strategic reset rather than just a recovery, as the company builds toward its next growth phase.

This Small Cap Company’s CEO Is Investing Another $4,000,000 of His Own Money

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 3:53 PM on Thursday, October 16th, 2025

LEADERSHIP WITH SKIN IN THE GAME

In an environment where CEOs of public companies are often urged to “show leadership” by investing personally, PyroGenesis (TSX: PYR | OTCQX: PYRGF) is setting a rare benchmark for a small or micro-cap company. In this interview, CEO Peter Pascali discusses why he is committing an additional $4 million of his own capital to support PyroGenesis — the leader in innovating for ultra-high temperature processes and engineering, and a technology provider to heavy industry & defense.

This isn’t a symbolic gesture. It’s the latest installment in a personal commitment that now exceeds $19 million invested into the company, underscoring both confidence and alignment with shareholders.

CUSTOMER VALIDATION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

PyroGenesis’ technologies aren’t theoretical; they are deployed in some of the world’s most demanding environments. For example, its plasma arc waste destruction systems have been installed on two U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, the USS Gerald R. Ford and USS John F. Kennedy, with two more systems to follow as the additional ships’ construction is completed — a testament to the company’s ability to pass the most stringent procurement tests.

Major industrial players such as Norsk Hydro, Constellium, and GE Vernova in Europe have publicly announced projects or relationships with PyroGenesis, signaling acceptance by highly selective partners.

“I’ve seen hundreds of companies, maybe thousands, in my career,” says Pascali. “I’ve not seen one like PyroGenesis. The technology is thrilling, the adoption is real, and even in today’s market we’ve built a backlog of signed contracts around $50 million.”

STRATEGIC POSITIONING IN A VARIETY OF MARKETS

European customers aside, PyroGenesis is building momentum in the Middle East — particularly Saudi Arabia — where national leaders are investing heavily to diversify away from oil. From advanced manufacturing, to aluminum production, to 3D printing, PyroGenesis’ portfolio aligns with the region’s push to onshore high-tech production and accelerate industrial transformation.

This geographic diversification also helps buffer against economic or supply chain challenges that may face various regions, giving PyroGenesis flexibility to manufacture in North America or abroad depending on customer needs.

OUTLOOK: A UNIQUE SMALL-CAP OPPORTUNITY

PyroGenesis is navigating the same capital and interest-rate headwinds facing many small and micro-caps — but with a critical difference: a CEO who repeatedly steps up as the largest investor, a growing range of validated technologies, and a diversified global market strategy. For investors seeking a small cap company with real technologies, real and prominent customers, and leadership fully aligned with shareholder interests, this interview offers an unfiltered look at a rare story.

Watch the full discussion to see why PyroGenesis’ CEO believes the company continues to be well positioned — and why he’s backing that belief with millions of his own dollars.

 

Magma Silver Targets District-Scale Discovery Thanks To Historical Work By Majors

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:42 PM on Wednesday, September 24th, 2025

“This is the easiest mining project I’ve seen in 40 years — on or near surface, high recovery rates, and significant upside the majors left untapped.” CEO Stephen Barley

A LEGACY OF MAJOR INVESTMENT

With gold at record highs and silver at a 14-year peak, Magma Silver Corp. (CSE: MGMA / OTCQB: MAGMF) is advancing a flagship Peruvian project that has already seen $14.5 million in exploration by majors including Newmont, AngloGold, and Bear Creek. Today, Magma is applying modern geological modeling to unlock the full value of what those majors left behind.

WHY THIS PROJECT MATTERS

  • DISTRICT-SCALE SYSTEM: The property spans 40 km², including an 8 km by 2 km anomalous zone with multiple gold and silver targets.

  • CLEAN SILVER ADVANTAGE: Unlike many deposits labeled “silver equivalent,” Magma’s system has pure silver with no contaminant metals — a rare and attractive characteristic.

  • JUMPSTART ON RESOURCE: With access to Newmont’s 65 drill holes and data, Magma can fast-track toward a compliant resource.
  • PERU SILVER RECORD:  Peru is one of the world’s top jurisdictions for silver and gold exploration as the 3rd largest silver producer globally – and a top 15 mining jurisdiction worldwide.

DRILLING AND RESULTS WILL BEGIN TO FLOW IN 2025

Magma’s Phase 1 sampling confirmed high-grade results, including 14 g/t gold and 311 g/t silver in surface samples. Drilling begins mid-November with six holes planned, and results expected before year-end — setting the stage for steady news flow through 2026.

RWA TOKENIZATION IS ON THE TABLE

The company is exploring real asset tokenization to monetize gold in the ground while minimizing dilution — an innovative financing path rarely seen at this stage. Longer term, Magma sees precedent in the Alamo Dorado Project, a discovery that sold for over $100 million when silver was just $5/oz.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

At a market cap of just ~$6M CAD, Magma Silver offers investors:

  • A project already advanced by global majors

  • Proven high-grade sampling results consistent with majors

  • District-scale exploration potential

  • And a management team with a track record of successful discoveries and financings.

With drilling underway and catalysts imminent, Magma Silver is positioning itself as one of Peru’s next major gold-silver stories at a time when the sector is gaining global momentum.

AI-Powered Exploration: Lancaster Resources Unlocking Gold and Critical Minerals in World-Class Districts

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:25 PM on Monday, September 15th, 2025

Lancaster Resources Inc. (CSE: LCR | OTC: LANRF | FRA: 6UF0) is a Canadian exploration company advancing a portfolio of projects in some of the world’s most prolific mining jurisdictions. With assets spanning Australia, Canada, and the United States, Lancaster focuses on two main sectors: precious metals, such as gold, and critical minerals, including uranium and polymetallic resources.

This global approach positions Lancaster to play a role in supporting clean energy transitions while also participating in the ongoing demand for gold as a reliable store of value. The company’s strategy centers on systematic exploration using advanced technology, including AI-assisted targeting and geophysical modeling, to identify high-value deposits with precision.

The Lake Cargelligo Gold Project – A Historic District in Australia
At the heart of Lancaster’s portfolio is the Lake Cargelligo Gold Project, located in New South Wales, Australia. This district-scale property covers 28,768 hectares and lies within the renowned Cobar Mining District, a region with a rich history of gold production.

What makes Lake Cargelligo stand out is its combination of scale and untapped potential:
Extensive Strike Length: More than 25 kilometers of prospective ground.

Historic High-Grade Results: Rock chip samples have returned up to 204 g/t gold and 273 g/t silver, while channel sampling recorded up to 16m @ 5.83 g/t gold and 7.20 g/t silver.

Proximity to Infrastructure: Just 60 kilometers from the producing Mineral Hill Mine, which provides strategic access to roads and services.

To date, no modern geophysics have been applied to this project, meaning that large portions of the property remain underexplored. Lancaster’s 2025 exploration program will introduce cutting-edge mapping, rock and soil sampling, and targeted drilling. This phase will be guided by a maiden NI 43-101 technical report, which is currently underway and scheduled for completion by August 31, 2025.

Expanding in Canada: Uranium and Polymetallic Projects
Beyond Australia, Lancaster holds significant ground in Canada, one of the world’s premier mining nations. In Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, the company controls two early-stage uranium projects: Catley Lake and Centennial East.
These properties are located near major Cameco holdings, including the Centennial deposit, which has returned uranium grades up to 8.78% U3O8 over 33.9 meters. Lancaster plans to leverage hyperspectral imaging and surface mapping to define exploration targets in this high-potential area. With nuclear energy gaining global momentum as a clean and reliable power source, these projects give Lancaster strategic exposure to a critical sector.

In Quebec’s James Bay region, Lancaster recently completed the acquisition of the Lac Iris Polymetallic Project, adding approximately 694 hectares of land to its portfolio. The project is strategically located near Power Nickel’s Nisk and Lion discoveries and Li-FT Power’s Rupert Lithium Project. It lies along a geological trend known for hosting both polymetallic and lithium-rich pegmatite deposits, enhancing Lancaster’s exposure to multiple minerals.

A Strategy of Sustainable Discovery
Lancaster’s approach to exploration blends innovation with environmental responsibility. The company’s plans include the use of AI-powered targeting through collaborations with technology partners like KorrAI, which helps streamline fieldwork while reducing environmental impact.

This modern, data-driven methodology enables Lancaster to identify high-priority targets more efficiently, minimizing unnecessary disturbance to the land. By focusing on smart exploration techniques, the company aims to unlock resources that support both global electrification and traditional precious metal markets.

What’s Next:
As Lancaster moves into the next phase of development, 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year. Key milestones include the launch of fieldwork at Lake Cargelligo, technical reporting, and new exploration campaigns in Canada’s uranium and polymetallic districts.
With a diversified portfolio, global reach, and a disciplined approach, Lancaster Resources continues to establish itself as a company with the expertise and vision to advance projects that are essential to the modern economy.
