  • Thailand RISE Fund Positions Thai Research for Global Innovation Impact

    Thailand RISE Fund Positions Thai Research for Global Innovation Impact

    Thailand has launched a new phase in its national research and innovation strategy with the introduction of the Thailand RISE Fund, a rebranded national research funding initiative aimed at accelerating the transition from academic research to real-world economic and social impact.

    The initiative was highlighted at the Thailand RISE Fund Forum: RISE UP THAILAND, hosted in collaboration with Chulalongkorn University. The national forum brought together policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, and innovation stakeholders to explore how Thailand can strengthen its position in the global innovation economy.

    From Research Output to Real-World Impact

    Thailand’s research performance has expanded significantly over the past decade, but national leaders say the country’s next challenge is ensuring that research delivers tangible benefits.

    Professor Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, emphasized the importance of translating knowledge into national progress. “A country advances not simply because it produces knowledge, but because it can transform knowledge into a coordinated system that connects policy, research, innovation, and industry,” he said.

    He added that universities must play a strategic role in national development. “Our goal is to move research beyond the laboratory and into real-world applications that deliver measurable economic and social benefits while strengthening Thailand’s long-term competitiveness.”

    Building a National Innovation System

    National research leaders stressed that Thailand’s science and innovation system must operate with clearer direction and stronger coordination.

    Professor Dr. Sompong Klaynongsruang, President of Thailand Science Research and Innovation (TSRI), said collaboration across sectors is essential. “The development of Thailand’s science, research and innovation system must be driven systematically—from strategic policy and targeted funding to the practical use of research outcomes in the economy and society.”

    She noted that cooperation among universities, government agencies, and the private sector will be key to achieving long-term impact. “When all sectors move forward together, research will not only generate knowledge but also create meaningful national transformation.”

    More Than a Rebranding

    The transition to the Thailand RISE Fund represents a strategic shift in how Thailand supports research and innovation.

    Asst. Professor Dr. Ake Pattaratanakun, Chairman of Thailand RISE Fund Strategic Communications Subcommittee, said the initiative reflects a new national priority. “Thailand has significantly increased its research output over the past decade, but the key challenge today is not quantity. It is how research creates economic and social value.”

    He explained that the Thailand RISE Fund is designed to bridge the gap between research and industry. “Thailand RISE Fund is intended to serve as a systemic intermediary, linking research to real economic needs and focusing on proof of impact rather than publication numbers.”

    Four Pillars of the RISE Framework

    The Thailand RISE Fund operates under a strategic framework built on four pillars:

    • Research
    • Innovation
    • Science Excellence
    • Ecosystem

    The ecosystem pillar emphasizes partnerships among universities, businesses, government agencies, and communities to support a comprehensive innovation economy.

    Expanding Opportunities Nationwide

    The Thailand RISE Fund is also expanding engagement across Thailand to ensure broader participation in the innovation system. Regional forums and outreach activities are designed to help researchers and entrepreneurs develop collaborative projects aligned with local economic strengths. This approach reflects a shift from centralized funding toward a more inclusive and distributed innovation ecosystem.

    Research for National Development

    The Thailand RISE Fund aims to transform the role of research in Thailand’s development strategy. “Our vision is to move Thai research from ‘research for journals’ to ‘research for the nation,’” Dr. Ake said.

    By focusing on measurable impact and long-term value creation, the initiative seeks to strengthen Thailand’s competitiveness while supporting sustainable economic and social development.

  • Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. Approves AU$1.4 Million Deployment: The Remaining Capital Needed for a Second Generation

    Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. Approves AU$1.4 Million Deployment: The Remaining Capital Needed for a Second Generation

    Technology Graphene Production Plant with Capacity of 10 Tons Per Annum

    Graphene Manufacturing Group Limited (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) (“GMG” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors of GMG has approved the investment of an additional AU$1.4 million, which is expected to complete the construction of the Company’s Gen 2.0 Graphene Manufacturing Technology plant (the “Gen 2.0 Plant”) capable of producing 10 tons of graphene per annum. The total capital cost for the Gen 2.0 Plant is an estimated AU$2.3 million, an expenditure that was largely included in the proposed use of proceeds for the March 2025 Bought Deal Financing of C$5,796,000.

    The Company’s Board is happy with progress to date and is confident that the Gen 2.0 Plant project is on track to meet its original budget and expectation to be online by the middle of 2026. The early work and procurement of the long lead items is substantially complete, and engineering and design has commenced.

    The Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to be largely self-powered from standalone energy generation that utilizes renewable sources, an energy storage system and hydrogen enriched natural gas provided by tail gas power generation.

    GMG’s Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: “We are very excited with the progress to date of the Gen 2.0 project and are looking forward to bringing the plant online – on time and on budget.”

    GMG’s Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: “A successful Gen 2.0 project will form the basis for the Company’s future expansion plans.”

    Quarterly Financial Results Update

    The Company is pleased to provide a further update to its most recent Quarterly Financial Results as published and filed on March 2, 2026. The Company’s results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This news release may include certain Non-IFRS measures as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) that are used internally by management to assess the underlying operational performance of our business.

    Understanding the Non-Cash Warrant Liability

    As at December 31, 2025, the Company had 18.6 million outstanding share purchase warrants with exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars. Because GMG’s functional currency is the Australian dollar, IFRS accounting standards require these warrants to be treated as a derivative financial liability and revalued at fair value each reporting period.

    During Q2 FY2026, GMG’s share price increased 178%, a strong performance that reflects growing market confidence. However, under IFRS, this share price increase results in a higher calculated fair value for the warrant liability, which in turn generates a non-cash loss in the Company’s statement of profit or loss and a corresponding increase in total liabilities on the balance sheet.

    Key Points for Shareholders:

    • This accounting adjustment is entirely non-cash and does not affect GMG’s cash position, operations, or business fundamentals.
    • The Company’s cash balance at December 31, 2025 was A$13.9 million, up from A$7.7 million at June 30, 2025.
    • Excluding the warrant liability, the Company’s underlying net assets position at December 31, 2025 was positive A$21.5 million.
    • The warrant liability decreases when warrants are exercised (converting the liability to equity and adding cash), or when the warrants expire or when the share price declines. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, approximately 2.9 million warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of A$3.6 million, further strengthening the Company’s cash position and reducing the warrant liability by a corresponding amount.

    Management views the warrant liability as a technical accounting matter that does not reflect the Company’s operational performance or strategic progress. The Company’s market capitalization at December 31, 2025 was approximately USD$200 million.

    Non-IFRS Measures

    A Non-IFRS measure that the Company refers to in its MD&A is EBITDA, which is revenue before finance costs, tax, depreciation and amortization, and after adjusting for certain non-cash items and other earnings adjustment items. The Company believes that EBITDA provides useful information to assess the operational performance of the business, however, Non-IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS, have not been subject to audit, and should not be considered as an indication of or alternative to an IFRS measure of financial performance.

    The following table provides the reconciliation of the underlying loss for the period and adjusted basic diluted loss per share, as adjusted and calculated by the Company. This reconciliation adjusts for the non-cash change in fair value of warrants which is included in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

  • Doubleview Gold Corp. Announces Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Hat Project; Robust Base-Case Economics with Strategic Scandium Upside

    Doubleview Gold Corp. Announces Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Hat Project; Robust Base-Case Economics with Strategic Scandium Upside

    NPV:

    • After-tax NPV(5%) of C$6.73 billion and IRR of 23% at Consensus Metal Prices
    • After-tax NPV(5%) of C$13.53 billion and IRR of 39% at Spot Metal Prices.

    NPV Including scandium and the associated processing circuit:

    • After-tax NPV(5%) of C$6.94 billion an IRR of 19% at Consensus Metal Prices
    • After-tax NPV(5%) of C$14.52 billion and IRR of 32% at Spot Metal Prices.

    Doubleview Gold Corp (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (“Doubleview” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of its 100%-owned polymetallic Hat porphyry project (“Hat” or “the Project”), in northwestern British Columbia. With major content of copper, gold, cobalt, silver, and scandium, Hat becomes an important source of critical minerals.

    Three processing scenarios were evaluated-Scenario A1 (A1) a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation base case using current testwork recoveries[1], Scenario A2 (A2), the same base case using expected recoveries1, and Scenario B (B), a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flowsheet with an added hydrometallurgical circuit and scandium recovery circuit-with results indicating the Project is financially attractive even without the scandium component.

    Highlights:

    Robust Project Economics: The PEA demonstrates a high-margin operation with an After-Tax NPV(5%) of C$4.96 billion (A1), C$6.73 billion (A2), or C$6.94 billion (B), and an IRR of 19% (A1), 23% (A2), or 19% (B) at analyst consensus metal prices[2]. Using a spot-price scenario[3], the Project delivers a compelling after-tax NPV(5%) of C$11.05 billion (A1), 13.53 billion (A2), or C$14.52 billion (B) and an IRR of 34% (A1), 39% (A2), or 32% (B).

    Sensitivity Highlight: Project economics show the greatest leverage to overall metal prices, with NPV (5%) ranging from C$3.2 billion to C$10.2 billion (IRR: 14%-32%) at ±20% on all metals; even under additional +20% CAPEX and +20% OPEX sensitivities, applied on top of a 25% contingency already embedded in the base case, all scenarios deliver IRRs of 16% or better, and Scenario B provides additional scandium oxide upside with NPV(5%) of C$6.2 billion-C$7.7 billion (IRR: 18%-20%) at ±40% metal price.

    Tier 1 Scale and Longevity: The mine plan supports a multi-decade life of 25 years at a 120,000 tonnes-per-day processing rate, underpinned by a resource base of 609 Mt at 0.43% CuEq[4] in the Measured and Indicated categories and 503 Mt at 0.41% CuEq4 in the Inferred category.

    High-Output Production Profile B: Envisioned as a conventional large-scale open-pit operation, the Project is expected to produce an average of over 74 kt of copper, 254 koz of gold, 376 koz of silver and 2.7 kt of cobalt annually during the first 10 years, with life-of-mine (LOM) average production of 67.6 kt Cu, 217 koz Au, 348 koz Ag, 2.5 kt Co, and 128 tonnes of scandium oxide per year. (NOTE: projected cobalt to be about 68% of North America’s cobalt production based on 2024 production)

    Strategic Importance for Critical Minerals: The Project is positioned as a primary North American source of copper, scandium, and cobalt. With approximately 2.42 billion pounds of copper, 80 million pounds of cobalt and 2,415 tonnes of scandium oxide contained[5] in the Measured and Indicated categories, the Project represents an important discovery of critical minerals.

    Stable, Supportive Jurisdiction: Located in a premier mining district in British Columbia, the Project benefits from a stable regulatory environment. The Company is committed to engaging with local First Nations in a respectful manner and to working toward positive and constructive relationships as the Project advances.

    Catalyst for Development: The PEA serves as the technical foundation for an immediate transition into a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), providing a clear roadmap for early works and permitting activities in 2026 and 2027.

    Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented, “The results of this PEA confirm the scale, strength and long-term potential of the Hat Project. Delivering a post-tax NPV(5%) of up to C$6.94 billion and IRR of up to 23% at consensus prices, and even stronger metrics at spot prices, validates years of disciplined exploration and technical work by our team. Hat is demonstrating Tier 1 characteristics with a 25-year mine life, strong annual production profile and meaningful free cash flow generation. Importantly, the Project stands on its own without reliance on scandium, while still preserving significant upside from critical minerals as markets mature. We are excited to advance Hat to Pre-Feasibility and continue building a major Canadian critical metals project.”

    Doubleview acknowledges that the Project is located on the traditional territories of the Tahltan Nation and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation, and recognizes their enduring relationship to and stewardship of the land and waters. Doubleview is committed to respectful, transparent, and ongoing engagement with First Nations and local communities whose territories overlap the Project area and access routes, with a focus on protecting water and the environment and advancing responsible development.

    PEA OVERVIEW

    The PEA contemplates a conventional open-pit mine and processing operation with a 25-year mine life at a 120,000 t/d (42 Mt/a) plant throughput. Two processing pathways were evaluated, A1 and its alternative, A2, and B: the first alternative, A, is a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation concentrator with two recovery cases based on current metallurgical testwork, and A2, reflecting expected performance (Figure 1); and B, a full circuit that retains the base flowsheet and adds a downstream hydrometallurgical scandium recovery circuit (Figure 2).

    The tailings storage facility is a centreline-raised facility built with compacted cycloned sand from tailings underflow, and engineered drainage for stability, with site-contact waters (including seepage and pit dewatering) recycled to the process plant and final closure involving pond drainage and reclamation. The Project is expected to rely on grid power via an extended transmission line.

    Tables 1 to 3 summarize the key results of the PEA, including production, operating costs, capital expenditures, and the principal financial metrics; the sections that follow provide additional detail on the underlying assumptions, project design, and study outcomes.

    MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

    Doubleview Gold Corp announced an update of the Mineral Resource estimate (MRE). This estimate followed the Micon International Ltd. (Micon) Mineral Resource estimate with an effective date of July 17, 2024. This MRE incorporates significant new data from the 2024 and 2025 exploration campaigns, with an effective date of February 4, 2026, and superseded the 2024 Micon estimate.

    Notes:

    1 Scandium tonnages represent 12.5% of the mineralized material by category, reflecting the proportion of tailings expected to be processed through a dedicated scandium leach circuit under current metallurgical design constraints.
    2 Scandium oxide metal content have been calculated using the metallurgical recovery of 72% and conversion factor from Sc to Sc2O3 of 1.534.

  • With Step-Out Drilling Continuing, Radisson Demonstrates Meaningful Resource Growth at O’Brien with an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

    With Step-Out Drilling Continuing, Radisson Demonstrates Meaningful Resource Growth at O’Brien with an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

    Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQB: RMRDF) (“Radisson” or the “Company”) is pleased to report an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) at its 100%-owned O’Brien Gold Project (“O’Brien” or the “Project”) located in the Abitibi region of Quebec. The Company is currently undertaking a fully-funded 140,000-metre step-out drill program at the Project with the objective of determining the scope of mineralization to a depth of 2 kilometres. This program commenced in 2025 and is expected to continue through the first half of 2027. Today’s updated MRE is an interim report that demonstrates the impact of recent drilling successes completed as of December 31, 2025. Highlights include:

    – 82% increase in Inferred Mineral Resources from step-out drilling intersecting new mineralization, with 1.69 million ounces (“Moz”) in 10.37 million tonnes (“Mt”) at 5.08 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”);

    – 8% increase in Indicated Mineral Resources with 0.63 Moz in 3.49 Mt at 5.59 g/t Au;

    – Estimated using US$2,500/oz Au and 2.2 g/t Au cut-off, with a refined geological model and capping strategy, establishing the go-forward basis for future, modern mine development.

    Matt Manson, President and CEO: “Today we report the first of several planned, step-by-step updates to the MRE at the O’Brien Gold Project, quantifying the impact of our recent drilling success and establishing a clear foundation for future, modern mine development. With just 25% of our 140,000 metre step-out drill program completed, the new vein mineralization delineated beneath the historic mine workings and the previous mineral resource volume (Radisson news release dated February 12, 2026) has resulted in an 82% increase in the quantity of Inferred Mineral Resources, now 1.69 Moz (10.37 Mt at 5.08 g/t Au). At the same time, we have refined the estimate of Indicated Mineral Resources, incorporating more tonnes at a lower average grade for an 8% increase in contained ounces, now 0.63 Moz (3.49 Mt at 5.59 g/t Au). Our estimates utilize a 2.2 g/t Au cut-off at a reasonable gold price assumption of US$2,500/oz.”

    “The former O’Brien Mine was known for high-grade ore-shoots mined in small volumes. Mining ended in 1957 with the gold price at US$35/oz. Significant volumes of mineralized vein material, below what we believe to have been a 7 g/t to 8 g/t Au cut-off, were left untouched. Now, we are presenting the Project as it should be viewed for future development: not as a bespoke deposit of extreme grade and limited scale, but as an extensive Abitibi vein deposit with a substantial inventory of mineralized material amenable to modern mechanized mining at higher throughput.”

    “Our step-out drill campaign at O’Brien is ongoing with up to eight rigs. We expect to complete 72,500 metres in 2026 and 32,500 metres in the first half of 2027. This is in addition to the meterage supporting today’s updated MRE. The vein mineralization system we have been intersecting is open at depth. In fact, since our step-out drilling began in the fall of 2024, we have been seeing an impressive 84% success rate in intercepting classic O’Brien quartz-sulphide-gold veins with grades and thicknesses consistent with today’s updated MRE. Looking to a 2-kilometre exploration floor, we believe an appropriate Exploration Target at O’Brien is another 5 Mt to 10 Mt at grades of between 4.0 g/t and 6.0 g/t Au containing 0.6 Moz to 2.0 Moz. We expect to complete further step-by-step updates to the MRE as our drilling progresses.”

    Cautionary statement: Readers are cautioned Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues including risks set forth in Radisson’s filings made with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

    Mineral Resource Estimate (effective January 31, 2026)

    The MRE is based on 428,440 metres of drilling completed to the end of December 31, 2025, and has been authored by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. (“SLR”). The estimate utilizes a 2.2 g/t Au cut-off at US$2,500/oz and makes certain assumptions on mining and processing costs, currency exchange rate, and metallurgical recovery (Table 1 and Figure 1). A wireframe vein model prepared by Radisson and reviewed by SLR constrains the estimate and applies a minimum width of 1.2 metres. Individual assays are capped at 60 g/t Au prior to compositing to full width of the veins, and the block model utilizes 5 by 2 by 5 metre blocks consistent with recent mine design studies.

    An MRE for the Project was previously published in March 2023 (Radisson news release dated March 2, 2023) based on 325,509 metres of drilling completed to the end of 2022. Indicated Mineral Resources (effective March 2, 2023) were estimated at 0.50 Moz (1.52 Mt at 10.26 g/t Au) with additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.45 Moz (1.60 Mt at 8.66 g/t Au). The 2023 study applied a 4.5 g/t Au cut-off at US$1,600/oz Au.

    In July 2025, Radisson published a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Project that utilized the 2023 estimate re-blocked by SLR in the Z-direction from 10 metres to 5 metres to allow for more flexible underground mine design. A cut-off of 2.2 g/t Au at US$2,000/oz Au and an updated set of economic criteria were applied in the re-blocking exercise consistent with the parameters used for the optimization of the PEA’s underground mine schedule. No other changes were made. Indicated Mineral Resources (effective May 6, 2025) were estimated at 0.58 Moz (2.20 Mt at 8.22 g/t Au) with additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.93 Moz (6.67 Mt at 4.35 g/t Au).

    The updated MRE released today benefits from 66,387 metres of additional drilling in 122 drill holes conducted between 2023 and 2025, which is the most significant factor in the increase of Inferred Mineral Resources (Figure 2). Radisson has also validated an additional 36,544 meters of historic drilling. The updated MRE utilizes similar estimation parameters to previously, but a more restrictive approach to capping. In the March 2023 estimate, and as incorporated in the re-blocked May 2025

    estimate, capping at 40 g/t Au was applied to the full-length composites. In the updated MRE, capping has been applied at 60 g/t Au to the underlying assays prior to compositing. This has the effect of reducing the average grade by approximately 12%, and in the opinion of Radisson and SLR is an appropriate approach to a narrow high-grade vein deposit such as O’Brien.

    Compared to previous estimates, the aggregate impact on the Indicated Mineral Resources of the new drilling, the 2.2 g/t Au cut-off, and the updated capping strategy has been to add more tonnes at a lower average grade for an overall increase in contained ounces. The aggregate impact of these three factors on the Inferred Mineral Resources has been the addition of more tonnes at a higher average grade for an overall increase in contained ounces. Indicated Mineral Resources have increased by 8% to 0.63 Moz, based on an increase in tonnes of 58% to 3.49 Mt and a decrease in grade of 32% to 5.59 g/t Au. Inferred Mineral Resources have increased by 82% to 1.69 Moz, based on an increase in tonnage of 55% to 10.37 Mt and an increase in grade of 17% to 5.08 g/t Au.

    O’Brien’s system of Quartz-Sulphide-Gold vein mineralization remains open to depth across a broad front beneath the historic mine workings and the updated MRE. The potential continuation of this mineralization to a 2 kilometres depth defines an Exploration Target of an additional 5 Mt to 10 Mt at grades of between 4.0 g/t and 6.0 g/t Au containing 0.6 Moz to 2.0 Moz. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

    A New Vision for the O’Brien Gold Project

    The historic O’Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au. It is clear that the former mine was “high-graded”, with manual mining methods applied to the highest-grade veins and ore shoots at an estimated cut-off grade of 7 g/t to 8 g/t Au. Parallel but lower-grade mineralized zones, which would be well above an economic cut-off grade today, were left unmined.

    The updated MRE does not incorporate any mineral resources potentially remaining in the former mine. However, in applying the lower grade cut-off of 2.2 g/t Au based on a gold-price estimate of US$2,500, the new estimate captures the overall volume attributes of the O’Brien mineralizing system, with more tonnes and more ounces at a lower average grade. This has the benefit of improving the continuity of mineralization for future mine planning, with larger stopes and more development headings supporting a higher potential mining rate. The Project has existing mining infrastructure to support such a vision, such as a shaft in the former mine extending to a 1,000 metres depth and multiple mills in the region with significant future capacity.

    Table 2 illustrates sensitivities on Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources and the MRE block model based on cut-off grade. These are:

    a) 8.0 g/t Au (US$700/oz) representing the former mine,
    b) 4.5 g/t Au (US$1,250/oz) representing the MRE effective March 2, 2023,
    c) 2.2 g/t Au (US$2,500/oz) representing the updated MRE, and
    d) 1.5 g/t Au (US$3,800/oz) representing the recent long-term consensus price of gold.

    The comparison clearly indicates the relationship between volume and grade based on cut-off, the directionality of steeply-plunging grade shoots at O’Brien, and the increased continuity of mineralization achieved at progressively lower cut-offs.

    Gold Mineralization at O’Brien and Step-Out Drill Program

    Gold mineralization at O’Brien occurs within quartz-sulphide veins developed primarily within the interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piche Group occurring in contact with the regionally significant Larder Lake-Cadillac Break (“LLCB”). Individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness, and are associated with mineralized alteration envelopes of up to several metres in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piche lithologies and the LLCB. As mapped at the historic O’Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths.

    Since the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-out drilling at O’Brien with the objective of determining the overall scope of mineralization at the Project to a depth of 2 kilometres (Figure 1). The priority is the quantity and distribution of mineral resources with step-outs rather than in-filling to upgrade the classification of the existing mineral resources.

    This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the program to 140,000 metres employing an eventual eight drill rigs (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025). An initial 35,000 metres of the program were completed in 2025, with 72,500 metres budgeted for 2026, and a further 32,500 metres scheduled for the first half of 2027.

  • Focus Graphite Officially Commences Government-Supported Thermal Purification Project to Establish Dual-Use Graphite Production in Canada

    Focus Graphite Officially Commences Government-Supported Thermal Purification Project to Establish Dual-Use Graphite Production in Canada

    $14.1M NRCan-Funded Program Begins with Six-Tonne Bulk Sample to Produce 500 kg High-Purity Graphite for Reactor Engineering and Product Validation

    Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) (“Focus” or the “Company“), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has shipped a six-tonne bulk ore sample from its 100%-owned Lac Knife Graphite Project (“Lac Knife” or the “Project“) to SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS“) in Lakefield, Ontario, officially commencing pilot-scale processing under its Natural Resources Canada (“NRCan“) funded demonstration program. The program is designed to produce approximately five hundred (500) kilograms of graphite concentrate to support downstream thermal purification, final reactor engineering, and product validation initiatives.

    The six-tonne sample will undergo crushing, blending, head assays and metallurgical benchmarking prior to pilot-scale processing. SGS will operate a batch pilot flotation circuit to generate high-grade graphite concentrate targeting approximately 95% graphitic carbon. Final concentrate will be dried and screened into size fractions suitable for subsequent purification testing. The Company anticipates that concentrate will be produced and shipped to its technology partner, Thermal & Material Engineer Center (“TMEC“), within approximately eight to nine weeks to support the commencement of final reactor design work, with the balance of the three-month program consisting primarily of data compilation and reporting activities.

    As previously announced on December 8, 2025, the Company formalized a funding agreement for up to $14.1 million in non-repayable contributions under NRCan’s Global Partnerships Initiative (“GPI“). The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources said, “As global demand for critical minerals accelerates, Canada is ready to lead. Focus Graphite’s work at Lac Knife shows how we can build a fully Canadian value chain-from resource to high-purity graphite-and strengthen our economic security in the process. Advancing pilot-scale processing here at home supports good jobs, attracts investment and reinforces Canada’s position as a trusted supplier in a changing world.”

    Claude Guay, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, added, “Today’s progress at Lac Knife shows how Canadian companies are translating ambition into action. By advancing pilot-scale processing here in Canada, Focus Graphite is helping build the downstream capacity that supports good jobs, strengthens regional economies and positions Canada to supply the advanced materials our partners rely on.”

    Richard Pearce, Technical Advisor to Focus, stated, “SGS Lakefield is a globally recognized leader in mineral processing and pilot-scale metallurgical testing and has extensive familiarity with the Lac Knife flowsheet. This bulk sample program represents a key milestone as we advance Lac Knife toward vertically integrated, high-purity graphite production in Canada. Generating pilot-scale concentrate materially de-risks scale-up and accelerates our pathway toward commercial demonstration.”

    The concentrate generated through this program will serve two primary strategic objectives. Material shipped to TMEC will support final engineering, detailed design optimization and preparation of construction-level specifications for the Company’s thermal purification plant reactor, representing a critical step toward fabrication and demonstration-scale production. In parallel, a portion of the concentrate will be retained for customer qualification and product validation initiatives, enabling engagement with potential end users across battery, defence, and advanced materials sectors. Together, these workstreams advance Focus’ objective of establishing an integrated, Canadian supply chain pathway from resource to high-purity graphite product.

    High-purity graphite is an essential material used in lithium-ion batteries, energy storage systems, advanced defense applications and high-technology manufacturing. Establishing domestic production capacity for graphite concentrate and purification is increasingly viewed as strategically important for supply chain security, advanced manufacturing competitiveness and energy transition objectives.

    In parallel with metallurgical testing, Focus has conducted site visits to multiple potential host facilities in Quebec and Ontario for installation of its planned thermal purification demonstration plant. The Company is actively evaluating existing industrial infrastructure, utilities access, logistics networks and permitting pathways as it advances final reactor design in collaboration with its technology partner.

    The Company will provide further updates as pilot-scale processing progresses and as additional milestones are achieved.

    The Tomorrow Company Launches With a Bold Mandate to Build the Infrastructure Layer of the AI-Native Financial Era.

    The Tomorrow Company (“TMRW”) today announced the completion of its strategic merger with Carbon Distributed Technologies AG (“CUT”) and Plato Technologies Inc., forming an integrated Web3 infrastructure platform positioned at the convergence of artificial intelligence, tokenized real-world assets, and programmable climate markets.

    The Company is launching with a clear conviction: the next decade of value creation in digital finance will belong to those who build and own infrastructure — not interfaces. Systems that are programmable. Intelligence that is embedded. Assets that are verifiable. Rails that institutions can scale on.

    Global markets are entering a structural transformation. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming embedded into capital allocation, enterprise operations, and regulatory oversight. Digital assets are evolving from trading vehicles into programmable utility frameworks capable of moving value instantly and transparently. Climate accountability is moving from narrative commitments to measurable, auditable instrumentation.

    The Tomorrow Company is designed to operate at the intersection of these structural shifts — and to grow with them. The merger unites two powerful and complementary platforms.

    CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG contributes a tokenized carbon utility framework structured around verifiability, traceability, and retirement mechanics. Built within Liechtenstein’s Blockchain Act framework and deployed on Ethereum Mainnet, CUT’s model emphasizes measurable CO₂ reduction linkage and immutable audit trails across issuance, transfer, and retirement. As regulators, institutions, and global enterprises demand higher standards of disclosure and impact validation, programmable carbon infrastructure becomes foundational to next-generation capital markets.

    Paul Thomson, Co-Founder of CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG, commented:

    “Tokenized commodities are moving from intention to instrumentation. For tokenized carbon credits, what matters now is verifiability—traceable assets, defensible controls, and retirement mechanics that stand up to real scrutiny. By integrating into The Tomorrow Company’s broader infrastructure platform, we believe we can accelerate adoption and bring institutional-grade carbon instrumentation to global markets.”

    Complementing this climate utility layer is Plato Technologies Inc., which brings an AI-driven intelligence engine purpose-built to convert fragmented global data into deployable, decision-ready workflows. Plato’s vertically focused intelligence products are designed for repeat enterprise usage and global distribution, with an operating discipline centered on scalable infrastructure and cost efficiency.

    Bryan Feinberg, CEO and Founder of Plato Technologies Inc., stated:

    “AI is only transformative when it moves from insight to execution. This merger connects measurable data verticals with a distribution-driven intelligence engine designed to operate at scale. The opportunity ahead is not incremental — it is to embed AI directly into the infrastructure layer of emerging digital markets.”

    The Tomorrow Company is structured as a diversified Web3 infrastructure holding platform with multiple reinforcing value engines. The strategy extends beyond a single asset class or vertical. Leadership intends to expand tokenized asset frameworks beyond carbon into additional real-world asset categories where verifiability and programmability unlock new liquidity. The Company plans to accelerate the deployment of vertical AI intelligence products across sectors where data fragmentation creates inefficiencies. It also intends to pursue selective acquisitions and integrations aligned with durable utility, regulatory alignment, and institutional capital flows.

    Management believes that over the coming years, the convergence of AI and tokenization will redefine how capital is raised, allocated, verified, and measured. Markets will increasingly reward platforms that can demonstrate programmable accountability, embedded intelligence, and infrastructure resilience. TMRW’s long-term objective is to build a compounding portfolio of infrastructure assets that operate beneath market cycles — generating value through adoption, integration, and scale rather than volatility.

    The Company’s growth roadmap includes expanding institutional partnerships, deepening blockchain-native infrastructure capabilities, and deploying AI systems that integrate directly into financial and enterprise workflows. As tokenized real-world assets and AI-native markets expand globally, The Tomorrow Company aims to position itself as a foundational infrastructure layer — enabling new asset classes, accelerating measurable climate action, and embedding intelligence into digital capital flows.

    This launch represents the beginning of an expansion strategy, not its culmination. The leadership of The Tomorrow Company believes that the coming cycle will see a dramatic re-rating of infrastructure-layer platforms that combine regulatory alignment, programmable assets, and deployable AI systems. TMRW is entering the market with the ambition to help define that category.

  • Casa Minerals Announces 2026 Aggressive Exploration Plans for Congress Gold Mine and Arsenault Projects

    Casa Minerals Announces 2026 Aggressive Exploration Plans for Congress Gold Mine and Arsenault Projects

    Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTCQB: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the “Company” or “Casa“) is pleased to provide a corporate update and announce its plans for an expanded exploration program in 2026 across its mineral properties in Arizona, USA and British Columbia, Canada.

    2026 EXPLORATION STRATEGY

    In response to strengthening global demand for resources and commodities, Casa is advancing aggressive exploration and development plans for its key mineral assets:

    • Congress Gold Mine Project (Arizona, USA) – Advanced exploration and development targeting gold, silver, and copper mineralization
    • Arsenault Gold-Copper Project (British Columbia, Canada) – Copper-gold-silver exploration with advanced geophysical targeting

    The Company’s strategic positioning with projects spanning two jurisdictions provides operational flexibility to maintain active exploration programs throughout the year across multiple properties.

    CONGRESS GOLD MINE PROJECT UPDATE

    The Congress Gold Mine, historically one of Arizona’s largest gold-silver producers, represents an advanced exploration opportunity with substantial historic production data.

    Historic Resource Context:

    Historic operators reported resource estimates and production figures for the Congress Gold Mine. These historic estimates are disclosed solely for context and have not been verified by a current Qualified Person. The historic estimates do not conform to current NI 43-101 standards, are not classified as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and should not be relied upon. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Casa is not treating the historic estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

    Previous operators including Echo Bay Mines reported estimates in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 tons at grades of approximately 0.3 opt (9.33 g/t) gold in certain zones. The mine historically produced approximately 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of gold during intermittent operations through 1992.

    2026 Exploration Objectives:

    Casa’s 2026 program at Congress aims to:

    • Conduct systematic drilling to bring the project and its extended potential mineralization to NI 43-101 compliant resource standards
    • Build upon the Company’s confirmatory drill programs that have validated portions of the historic data
    • Define a clear pathway for rapid resource definition and project advancement
    • Expand exploration in priority target areas identified through compilation of historic data and recent drilling

    The Company’s confirmatory drilling to date, combined with extensive historic data compilation, has established a framework for systematic resource delineation in accordance with modern standards.

    ARSENAULT PROJECT UPDATE

    The Arsenault copper-gold-silver project in northern British Columbia has advanced significantly following the completion of a state-of-the-art 3D Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey in 2025.

    2025 3D IP Survey Results:

    The recently completed 3D ground-based IP survey has generated compelling geophysical signatures that management, with extensive experience in similar geological settings, considers highly prospective. Key highlights include:

    • Significant chargeability anomalies indicating potential sulphide mineralization
    • Three-dimensional geophysical signatures with substantial scale and continuity
    • Strong correlation with previous airborne electromagnetic survey results from 2017
    • Multiple high-priority drill targets identified

    The IP survey covered approximately 12 square kilometers with 60 km of survey lines utilizing high-density data acquisition with state-of-the-art instrumentation.

    2026 Exploration Plans:

    Detailed exploration planning is underway for both properties. The Company anticipates releasing comprehensive technical details and specific program parameters for the Congress and Arsenault projects in follow-up news releases as planning is finalized.

    MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

    “Casa is well-positioned to capitalize on the strengthening commodities market with two highly prospective projects at different stages of advancement,” stated Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO. “At Congress, we have a clear path forward to define resources to modern standards on a historically productive gold system. At Arsenault, our recent geophysical work has identified compelling drill targets with signatures our team has successfully followed to discovery in similar settings. We look forward to an active 2026 field season across both properties.”
