ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF).

ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) a forward-looking mineral resource company, is challenging the traditional high-risk, high-capex mining model by redeveloping legacy mine sites with known volumes, historical grades and existing infrastructure. With its Montauban Project in Quebec now fully permitted and under construction, ESGold is poised for near-term gold, silver and mica production through clean, gravity-based tailings processing. The company has developed a scalable, repeatable cash-flow model that minimizes environmental impact and funds systematic exploration of legacy sites. Led by newly appointed CEO Gordon Robb, ESGold aims to transform forgotten assets into clean, cash-generating producers. As gold prices hit record highs and institutional capital prioritizes sustainability, ESGold stands ready to capitalize—joining an elite group of modern miners including BHP (NYSE: BHP), Barrick (NYSE: GOLD), Franco-Nevada (NYSE: FNV) and Kinross (NYSE: KGC).

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is a fully permitted, pre-production resource company on a clear path to near-term gold and silver production. With established infrastructure in place and a significant gold-silver resource, the company is uniquely positioned to generate near-term cash flow while unlocking the full potential of its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec—one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world.

ESGold is building a foundation for long-term growth through a dual-track strategy: cash-flow generation from tailings reprocessing to fund district-scale exploration.

The Montauban site, which operated as a mine for over 80 years, is now undergoing its first-ever systematic exploration program to determine just how large the remaining deposit may be. Near-term cash flow from tailings reprocessing will be used to fund exploration, with the goal of increasing the resource base and uncovering new discoveries across the expansive land package.

ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that turns legacy mine sites into revenue generating assets while setting a new industry benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The recent completion of a C$3.4M financing has enabled ESGold to initiate the final construction phase of its mill circuit—moving the company decisively toward production of gold and silver in Q3 2025.

Montauban Gold-Silver Project: Production Imminent

Located approximately 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, the Montauban Project is a past-producing gold-silver mine with surface and underground mineralization and over 900,000 tonnes of historical tailings. ESGold has invested over C$15 million to date, building out roads, power access, and a 16,000 sq. ft. processing facility. The company recently completed a C$3.4M financing to begin final construction of the mill circuit.

The company is fully permitted to enter into production that is expected to commence in Q3 2025 with a capacity of 500 tonnes per day, scaling to 1,000 tpd. An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is currently underway to reflect all-time high gold prices and the anticipated upside from the near-surface resource.

Parallels Between Broken Hill & Montauban

Broken Hill, discovered in 1883 in Australia, became the world’s largest source of silver, lead, and zinc—producing over $100 billion worth of metals. What made it unique was that the richest mineral zones were hidden deep underground in a twisted, boomerang-like shape, and it took decades to fully understand just how large the deposit really was.

Geologists now believe ESGold’s Montauban Project in Quebec may share similar traits. Like Broken Hill, it contains high-grade silver, lead, and zinc, along with gold—and sits within the same type of geological system known to host large, high-value mineral deposits. The rock formations, mineral assemblages, and structural complexity all suggest that Montauban could be hiding much more than what’s been historically uncovered. Academic studies now support this possible geological parallel, pointing to further evidence suggesting Montauban was formed under similar conditions as Broken Hill.

Exploration Upside

With production on the horizon, ESGold is advancing a major exploration campaign. Montauban has never undergone systematic modern exploration.

The company is currently completing a large-scale Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey—a powerful 3D imaging technology that will define the size, shape, and continuity of the mineralized system. ANT is already showing strong results, with imaging going beyond the original 400m depth target and now expected to exceed 800m. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to reveal the full extent of the anomaly for the first time in Montauban’s 110-year history.

Scalable, Replicable, Clean Mining

Montauban is also part of a broader vision. Across Canada and globally, there are hundreds of orphaned or legacy mine sites that remain unrehabilitated despite containing valuable residual metals in tailings. Quebec alone is home to more than 259 of these sites, highlighting the scale of the opportunity. ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that transforms legacy sites into productive assets while setting a new benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The company has also performed testing that utilizes Dundee Sustainable Technologies’ CLEVR Process™, a proprietary non-cyanide extraction method that achieved 90.9% gold recovery in lab testing. This clean processing approach remains a valuable and scalable asset supporting ESGold’s near-term production and exploration growth strategy.

As a complement to its core mining operations, ESGold is developing clean technology solutions through a joint venture with DMCMS Inc. This initiative includes a polymer division that manufactures environmentally friendly products such as road stabilizers, dust suppressants, and other industrial blends—expanding the company’s sustainable commercial footprint.

Market Opportunity

ESGold is operating in a unique and specialized segment of the mining industry—reprocessing and revitalizing legacy mine sites. The Montauban Project offers both near-term cash flow and long-term growth potential by converting tailings into revenue while systematically exploring for additional high-value mineral endowments. The company’s established infrastructure, full permitting, and reclamation approvals reduce development risk and enhance execution timelines.

The broader green mining market is projected to reach $15.92 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. This growth is being driven by increased demand for responsible extraction methods, ESG-aligned practices, and critical mineral security. With construction underway at its fully permitted Montauban site—and exploration advancing along a Broken Hill-type geological model—ESGold is well positioned to emerge as Canada’s next premier gold and silver producer.

The company is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario.

Projects

Santa Fe Mine

The 26.4 km² Santa Fe Mine is Lahontan’s flagship asset and core development priority. A past-producing open-pit, heap-leach gold and silver operation, Santa Fe historically yielded more than 359,000 ounces of gold and 702,000 ounces of silver between 1988 and 1995. The site benefits from established infrastructure—including power, water, and road access—and more than 79% of its known resources are unencumbered by royalties.

A 2024 NI 43-101 resource estimate outlines 1.54 million ounces of gold equivalent (AuEq) in the Indicated category and 0.41 million ounces Inferred, all pit-constrained. Oxide resources average among the highest grades in the state and are distributed across five known deposits. A 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) projects strong economic returns, including an after-tax NPV5% of $200 million, a 34.2% internal rate of return (IRR), and average annual production of approximately 50,000 ounces AuEq over an eight-year mine life.

Permitting is well underway for both the Exploration and Mine Plans of Operation, covering over 12 km² and more than 700 drill holes. The company is targeting construction permits in late 2026 and continues to pursue oxide resource expansion and metallurgical optimization, particularly within the Slab-Calvada corridor.

West Santa Fe

West Santa Fe lies just 13 kilometers from the flagship and is being explored as a potential satellite operation. The project is defined by a shallow, oxide-dominant gold-silver system with a conceptual target of 0.5 to 1.0 million ounces AuEq based on historic drilling and recent surface sampling, which returned up to 2.61 g/t Au and 899 g/t Ag (14.6 g/t AuEq). A 6,300-meter Phase One reverse circulation drill program is scheduled for 2025 to validate historical data and support a maiden resource estimate. Development is streamlined under a low-cost option agreement and a rapid permitting path via Notice of Intent.

Moho and Redlich

The Moho and Redlich projects provide additional longer-term upside within Lahontan’s portfolio. Moho features high-grade, oxidized epithermal veins with historic production at grades of 20–25 g/t Au and 300 g/t Ag. A 2019 core drill program confirmed the presence of high-grade mineralization at depth. Redlich, located along trend from the historic Candelaria silver mine, hosts disseminated Ag mineralization in epithermal veins and hydrothermal breccias but remains untested by drilling. While no near-term programs are currently disclosed, both assets represent future exploration optionality.

Market Opportunity

Lahontan Gold operates in Nevada, consistently ranked the top global mining jurisdiction by the Fraser Institute due to its transparent permitting process, legal stability, and established infrastructure. Nevada produces over 4.5 million ounces of gold annually, generating approximately $9 billion in value, and ranks fifth globally in total gold production.

According to the World Gold Council, total gold demand in Q1 2025 reached 1,206 tonnes, up 1% year-over-year, marking the strongest first quarter since 2016. Central banks added 244 tonnes to reserves, a slight slowdown from the prior quarter but well within the strong buying range observed over the past three years. Meanwhile, silver demand is supported by strong industrial usage in solar panels, electric vehicles, and semiconductors, with long-term deficits forecast in the physical silver market.

With macro-driven demand for gold, technology-driven silver consumption, and strong institutional buying across both metals, Lahontan is uniquely positioned to capitalize through its portfolio of oxide-focused projects in a top-tier jurisdiction—offering near-term production potential and longer-term resource expansion.

Astiva Health

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Astiva Health

Recent polling by KFF has provided insights into the numerous challenges that Americans face in meeting their health care costs. The poll, conducted in May and whose findings were published in June this year, shows that one of the major worries that American families face is having unexpected medical bills to pay. From the poll, the research team found that nearly half of all adults in the U.S. find it difficult to afford their health care costs. 1-in-4 of those polled also revealed that they or a member of their household had experienced problems in meeting their health care costs within the previous 12 months. It gets even worse. About one out of every seven adults that were polled revealed that they either skipped taking their medication or cut their pills in half during the past 12 months in order to stretch the duration their medicine could last before they have to buy more. 33% of the respondents said they had used at least one of these "cost-cutting" interventions within the preceding 12 months, with uninsured people and women strongly featuring in this group of people who resorted to these methods. The report uncovers many other disturbing insights about the challenges that Americans are facing with regard to the cost of health care. The writing is on the wall for entities like Astiva Health that focus on providing Medical Advantage plans to minority groups; plenty needs to be done to bring more members of their target demographics into the bracket of those with health care insurance because every measure that can be taken to reduce the weight of medical care costs upon these vulnerable groups needs to be taken. 

Astiva Health is a dynamic and innovative Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) health plan committed to reshaping the landscape of personalized and comprehensive healthcare. The company offers full medical, drugs, and supplemental benefits for Medicare enrollees, currently serving counties in California, including Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino. This broad coverage reflects Astiva Health’s dedication to reaching a diverse demographic and addressing the healthcare needs of individuals across Southern California.

Astiva Health primarily serves a heretofore underserved Asian American and Pacific Islander population, which positions it in a critical and expanding market segment and offers substantial growth potential. The company recognizes the diverse needs within its served communities and strives to bridge healthcare gaps through proactive and culturally responsive solutions.

Astiva Health cares about its members and works to establish lifelong relationships with them by providing a tailored approach to healthcare, offering multilingual solutions for customer service, marketing materials and educational resources. Health is an essential key to living a good life, and Astiva Health makes it a priority to help members love the life they live.

The company’s mission is to deliver an unparalleled level of quality care to its members. Astiva Health’s Medicare Advantage plans provide lower costs and additional benefits beyond original Medicare coverage.

Founded in southern California, Astiva Health has strategically positioned itself in a region with a dynamic and diverse population. The organization’s extensive network and culturally responsive approach to healthcare make it well-suited to cater to the needs of the local community, creating a competitive advantage in the market.

The company is based in Orange, California.

Healthcare Model

Astiva Health is not just another health plan. The company considers the uniqueness of its members and, therefore, the means for delivering quality care to each one. To best serve its members, Astiva Health has developed one of the most diverse networks in southern California, offering a selection of medical, drugs, and supplemental benefits including dental, acupuncture, vision and hearing plans tailored to the specialized needs of individual members.

The company’s health plans provide increasing levels of benefits to members in the counties it serves. Astiva Health’s Customer Care Support and representatives are available to assist members with any issues.

The organization’s proactive approach to overcoming language barriers for the Vietnamese communities demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and enhances accessibility – a key factor for future growth. The successful implementation of strategies for the Vietnamese community sets a precedent for Astiva Health’s ability to adapt and apply similar approaches to serve other ethnic groups in future expansions, broadening the potential impact of its services.

The company provides members access to experienced and dedicated providers and local pharmacies that work together with each member to pave a pathway toward better health. The company’s online directory provides members with a comprehensive list of providers to fit their specialized needs.

Astiva Health collaborates with a variety of partners who offer supplemental benefits to members beyond Medicare. Those benefits include transportation, vision, dental, hearing, fitness, tele-health, acupuncture and chiropractic. Astiva’s forward-thinking strategy not only fulfills a critical societal need but also ensures sustainable growth and transformative impact across diverse communities.

Market Opportunity

Medicare Advantage plans, since their establishment in 2008 as a lower-cost alternative for Medicare enrollees looking to save on monthly premiums, have been one of the fastest growing segments of the health insurance market.

According to a report by healthcare consultant Charts, nearly 31 million beneficiaries are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan in 2023, accounting for more than 48% of the total Medicare market. That represents 9.6% enrollment growth over 2022 totals, and the pace of growth is likely to continue, according to the Charts report.
Startup Medicare Advantage plans, a sector that includes Astiva Health, grew even faster for 2023, at a rate of 22% over 2022 totals.

Lantern Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRN)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Lantern Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRN).

Lantern Pharma (NASDAQ: LTRN) , an AI-driven oncology drug developer, announced the launch of a new AI-powered module within its RADR(R) platform to predict the efficacy of combination therapies involving DNA-damaging agents (DDAs) and DNA damage response inhibitors (DDRis). Backed by a peer-reviewed analysis of 221 clinical trials, the tool enables precise, biomarker-guided design of cancer treatment regimens, reducing development time and cost by up to one-third. The platform guided the design of Lantern's FDA-cleared Phase 1B/2 trial in triple-negative breast cancer combining LP-184 and olaparib. Lantern is exploring licensing and commercialization opportunities to scale the system across oncology indications.

To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/NVQqv

Lantern Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRN) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to redefine oncology drug development. Through its proprietary platform, RADR® (Response Algorithm for Drug Positioning & Rescue), Lantern is advancing a pipeline of precision cancer therapies. The company has gained 11 FDA Designations for its portfolio of drug candidates including: Fast Track, Orphan and Pediatric Rare Disease. The company’s data-driven approach enables rapid identification of promising drug candidates and the design of targeted clinical trials for specific patient subpopulations and cancer types.

Lantern’s vision is to transform cancer treatment by integrating large-scale genomics, AI-based biomarker discovery, and preclinical modeling to accelerate the development of oncology drugs. The company’s pipeline includes three lead small molecule candidates and an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) program across 12 cancer indications, supported by strategic collaborations with global research institutions and clinical partners. The company has three active clinical trials enrolling patients with multiple clinical milestones expected throughout the next twelve months.

The company’s mission is centered on transforming the cost and pace of developing innovative therapies for patients with genetically defined cancers or limited treatment options. Lantern is also advancing brain and CNS cancer drug development through its wholly owned subsidiary, Starlight Therapeutics.

The company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

Product Portfolio

Lantern Pharma’s product pipeline consists of three lead candidates—LP-300, LP-184, and LP-284—and a preclinical ADC program. All are guided by insights from the RADR® platform, which has grown to incorporate over 200 billion oncology-specific data points.

LP-300 is in a Phase 2 trial (Harmonic™) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in never smokers. The trial evaluates LP-300 in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed and has shown a clinical benefit rate of 86% and an objective response rate of 43% in its initial cohort. The study is enrolling 90 patients across the U.S., Japan, and Taiwan (NCT05456256).

LP-184 is in a Phase 1a trial for advanced solid tumors and GBM (NCT05933265). The compound has received FDA Fast Track Designations for GBM and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), as well as four Rare Pediatric Disease Designations. Upcoming Phase 1b/2 trials are planned for TNBC (monotherapy and with olaparib) and for NSCLC patients with KEAP1/STK11 mutations in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab.

LP-284 is currently in a Phase 1 trial for relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and other solid tumors (NCT06132503). The drug candidate has demonstrated complete tumor suppression in preclinical models of mantle cell lymphoma resistant to Ibrutinib and bortezomib and showed synergistic activity with rituximab in high-grade B-cell lymphoma models.

Lantern’s ADC program is based on cryptophycin conjugates and is undergoing preclinical evaluation, showing sub-nanomolar potency and improved targeting in HER2-expressing models.

The company has also launched Starlight Therapeutics, focused on CNS cancers, where STAR-001 (LP-184 for CNS cancers) is advancing toward a Phase 1b/2 trial in glioblastoma and pediatric brain cancers, including ATRT, supported by Rare Pediatric Disease Designations and preclinical validation from Johns Hopkins.

Market Opportunity

Lantern Pharma is focused on oncology indications with significant unmet medical need and multi-billion-dollar commercial potential.

• LP-300 targets non-small cell lung cancer in never smokers, a patient population estimated at over 150,000 cases globally and representing a market opportunity exceeding $4 billion annually.
• LP-184 is positioned for use in DDR-deficient tumors such as pancreatic, bladder, and triple-negative breast cancers, which collectively represent a U.S. market opportunity estimated at over $10 billion annually. Opportunities in targeted DDR-deficient tumors include the KEAP1/STK11 mutant NSCLC population targeted by LP-184, with a market potential of over $2 billion annually, and TNBC, which alone represents a $4 billion global market given its aggressiveness and high brain metastasis rate.
• LP-284 is aimed at relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, particularly mantle cell lymphoma and HGBL, within a market sized at $3.5 to $4 billion globally.
• CNS cancers addressed by Starlight Therapeutics further expand Lantern’s reach, representing an estimated $5 billion annual global opportunity, including both adult and pediatric cancers.

Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO).

With dozens of brands selling battery electric and plug-in hybrid cars in China, competition in the world's largest electric vehicle market has grown incredibly fierce. Although China's vehicle market is incredibly vast, there just isn't enough room for the more than 100 electric vehicle companies that are currently fighting to gain a foothold. As a result, many Chinese electric vehicle companies are looking beyond the country to foreign markets that still have untapped electric vehicle demand. These companies have one major advantage compared to other automakers: their EVs are cheap and affordable. As global demand for electric vehicles continues to grow, only the most resilient and well-capitalized Chinese EV firms are likely to succeed abroad. Without firm financial footing and strong customer service infrastructure, some automakers may risk damaging their reputation before they can establish a meaningful presence in overseas markets. The pitfalls of premature foreign expansion experienced by Chinese auto firms could have lessons for other players in the automotive space like Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO) that have ambitions of having a global footprint. 

Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO) is a prominent manufacturer and distributor specializing in powersports vehicles and recreational watercraft. Established in 2009, the company has built a reputation for delivering value-packed utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and on-road vehicles to both recreational enthusiasts and professionals in the agricultural sector. In 2020, Massimo expanded its offerings by launching Massimo Marine, dedicated to crafting high-quality watercraft with advanced designs and exceptional customer service.

Massimo Group is focused on sustainability. Its recent initiatives, including the introduction of the MVR Series of electric carts, highlight the company’s commitment to eco-friendly solutions that address growing consumer demand for sustainability in the powersports and marine industries.

The company’s manufacturing capabilities have also evolved significantly. Its expanded 376,000-square-foot facility in Garland, Texas, now features advanced automation, including a vehicle assembly robot line. This addition is expected to significantly enhanced production capacity and efficiency, enabling Massimo to scale its operations and better meet market demand.

Product Portfolio

Massimo Group’s product portfolio showcases its dedication to innovation and versatility. Its diverse lineup combines advanced features, sustainability, and value to meet the needs of a dynamic market.

• Massimo Motor: This category includes a wide range of UTVs, ATVs, go-karts, and mini-bikes designed for both recreational and practical applications. Notable recent additions include the T-Boss 1000 UTV, which combines rugged performance with advanced features, and the GKD 350 All-Terrain Go-Kart, a versatile two-seater ideal for various terrains. The Buck 550-6 Crew, a six-seater UTV, further expands this lineup, providing comfort and utility for families and light-duty users at an accessible price point.
• Massimo Marine: Specializing in pontoon and tritoon boats, this division emphasizes luxury and performance. A recent collaboration between Massimo and Vision Marine Technologies has introduced electric pontoon platforms, catering to consumers seeking eco-friendly watercraft for both commercial and recreational use.
• Massimo Electric: Reflecting the company’s commitment to sustainability, Massimo Electric focuses on low-speed electric vehicles (LSVs) tailored for diverse applications. Recent launches include the MVR 2X Golf Cart and MVR Cargo Max Utility Cart, which deliver advanced features and versatility for recreational users and professionals in industries like farming and groundskeeping.

By combining practicality with cutting-edge design, Massimo Group seeks to set the standard in the powersports and marine industries.

Market Opportunity

The global ATV and UTV market is experiencing robust growth, with North America projected to reach approximately $9.18 billion in 2024 and expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% to $13.37 billion by 2029, according to Mordor Intelligence. Likewise, the U.S. electric UTV and ATV powertrain market is rapidly expanding. It was valued at $2.46 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2%, reaching $5.18 billion by 2030, as reported by Grand View Research.

The pontoon boat market complements this growth, driven by increased interest in leisure and marine tourism. The market size exceeded $7.9 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% through 2032, according to Global Market Insights. Massimo Marine’s introduction of electric pontoon platforms through its Vision Marine partnership is expected to position the company to effectively address this growing market segment.

With strategic partnerships and an expanding dealer network, Massimo believes it is poised to penetrate deeper into domestic and international markets. The company’s service coverage currently includes over 2,800 retail locations, 600 motor service centers, and 5,500 marine service centers, ensuring robust support and accessibility for customers. This extensive distribution network underpins Massimo’s ability to capture market share and drive sustained growth.

Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX).

Soligenix (NASDAQ: SNGX) , a late-stage biopharmaceutical company targeting rare diseases, was spotlighted in a July 10 Zacks Small-Cap Research report that presented a favorable analysis, noting that the company is anticipating a number of key catalysts in the second half of 2025, including progress on its current phase 3 FLASH2 trial of HyBryte(TM) for the treatment of early-stage cutaneous T cell lymphoma ("CTCL").

According to the report, Soligenix is developing products to treat rare diseases within two business segments: Specialized BioTherapeutics and Public Health Solutions. The Specialized BioTherapeutics business segment currently has multiple products under development, and the report noted an expected update on enrollment in the phase 3 FLASH2 trial to come in the second half of 2025, with topline results expected in the second half of 2026. Another clinical update is expected in Q3 2025 for the ongoing investigator-initiated study ("IIS"), which is sponsored by Dr. Ellen Kim; that study is evaluating extended HyBryte(TM) treatment for up to 54 weeks. The report also noted that topline results are expected in the phase 2a trial of SGX302 in mild-to-moderate psoriasis and in the phase 2a proof-of-concept trial of Behcet's disease ("BD") with SGX945 in Q3 2025.

"We look forward to the multiple upcoming catalysts for Soligenix in the second half of 2025," reported Zachs. "The update on the IIS should provide additional read-through to the FLASH2 trial, which we already have high confidence in being successful based on the robust results announced thus far for the IIS and its similarity to the FLASH2 trial. The psoriasis and BD programs offer additional upside that is not being factored in to the current share price."

Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing treatments for rare diseases with high unmet medical needs. Operating through two key segments, the company’s Specialized BioTherapeutics division is dedicated to oncology and inflammation therapies, while its Public Health Solutions segment advances vaccines and therapeutics targeting biothreats and infectious diseases.

The company is actively advancing multiple late-stage clinical programs, including HyBryte™ (SGX301), a novel photodynamic therapy for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Additional candidates in development target psoriasis (SGX302), oral mucositis (SGX942), and Behçet’s disease (SGX945), while its public health efforts focus on heat-stable vaccines for ricin poisoning (RiVax®), Ebola (SuVax™), and Marburg (MarVax™) viruses, that have been supported by non-dilutive government grants and contracts of approximately $60 million to date.

With a diversified pipeline, multiple orphan and fast-track designations, and collaborations with government agencies, Soligenix is uniquely positioned for potential regulatory approvals and commercialization.

The company is headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey.

Pipeline and Development Programs

Specialized BioTherapeutics

Soligenix’s Specialized BioTherapeutics division develops treatments for oncology and inflammatory diseases, focusing on conditions with few or no effective therapeutic options. HyBryte™ (synthetic hypericin) has completed a Phase 3 study for CTCL, demonstrating statistically significant efficacy, and a second confirmatory Phase 3 trial is actively enrolling patients to support potential regulatory submissions worldwide. If approved, it would be the first non-mutagenic photodynamic therapy for early-stage CTCL, addressing an unmet medical need. It has received orphan drug designations in the U.S. and Europe, as well as Fast Track designation in the U.S.

SGX302, a photodynamic therapy based on the same active ingredient as HyBryte™, is in clinical development for mild-to-moderate psoriasis, with positive Phase 1/2 proof-of-concept results, it is actively enrolling patients in a Phase 2a clinical trial.

SGX942, designed to reduce inflammation and tissue damage in oral mucositis associated with cancer treatment, is progressing as a potential first-in-class therapy.
SGX945, targeting aphthous ulcers in Behçet’s disease, is actively enrolling in a Phase 2a clinical trial and has received fast-track designation, highlighting the urgency of developing effective treatments for this rare inflammatory condition.

Public Health Solutions

The company’s Public Health Solutions segment focuses on medical countermeasures for biothreats and emerging infectious diseases, leveraging non-dilutive government funding to advance its programs. RiVax®, a ricin toxin vaccine, has demonstrated strong preclinical and early clinical results and may be eligible for government procurement under the Strategic National Stockpile initiative.

The company’s RiVax®, as well as its vaccine candidates for Ebola and Marburg viruses are based on its proprietary ThermoVax® technology, which stabilizes vaccines for long-term storage without refrigeration. This approach could be transformative in regions where maintaining cold-chain logistics is challenging.

The ongoing development of these vaccines is supported by funding from NIH, BARDA, and DTRA, with the potential for up to three priority review vouchers (PRVs) upon regulatory approval, to be used for future programs or sold. Notably, PRVs have previously sold for roughly $100 million.

Market Opportunity

Soligenix targets markets with significant commercial potential, focusing on rare diseases and biodefense applications. HyBryte™ addresses CTCL, a disease affecting over 68,000 patients across the U.S. and Europe, with a total market opportunity exceeding $250 million. SGX302, the company’s therapy for mild-to-moderate psoriasis, serves a much larger population, as over eight million people in the U.S. are affected by the condition, representing a global market opportunity exceeding $1 billion.

SGX942, developed for oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients, is aimed at a market worth more than $500 million, while SGX945 for Behçet’s disease serves a niche segment valued at over $200 million worldwide.

In addition to its rare disease programs, Soligenix’s Public Health Solutions division has the potential to generate significant revenue through government procurement contracts. By focusing on both orphan drug markets and government-funded biodefense initiatives, Soligenix has positioned itself for sustained revenue growth through multiple high-value opportunities.

Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF).

Gold prices continue to break record highs with silver also enjoying a renaissance.

Nicola Mining has begun processing high-grade gold-silver ore from Talisker Resources Inc.

Nicola is determined to process 60,000 tonnes (tn) of ore and produce 21,000 ounces (oz) of gold-equivalent per year at full-production rate.

Global demand for gold and silver continues to surge as investors and central banks race for protection in unstable economic terrain. As the value of precious metals surges amid rising demand, junior miner Nicola Mining (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) began processing high-grade gold and silver ore at its Merritt Mill facility, highlighting a key step forward in its growth ( https://ibn.fm/Vs8Tt ).

Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) is a junior resource company focused on monetizing high-grade mineral assets in British Columbia. With a unique dual-pronged model, the company combines solid operational revenues from its wholly-owned, state-of-the-art gold and silver mill with the long-term upside of 100%-owned copper, silver, and gold exploration projects. This approach allows Nicola to fund ongoing development while minimizing equity dilution.

The company’s strategy centers on aligning infrastructure and permitting advantages with mineral-rich geology, positioning it to process its own, as well as third-party high-grade gold and silver mines via partnerships, to advance its own exploration targets. Key agreements with gold producers and concentrating sales contracts provide stable cash flow, making Nicola rare among juniors in its ability to internally support growth. Its solid balance sheet and business acumen have allowed it to take stakes in other near-term gold producers, including a 75% economic stake in Dominion Gold, which commences a bulk sample in 2H 2025.

Nicola is leveraging its platform of permitted infrastructure, strategic project locations, and deep technical expertise to build shareholder value in a low-risk, high-reward framework. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Projects

Nicola Mining’s project portfolio includes high-grade copper, silver, and gold assets located in mineral-rich regions of British Columbia. Each project is 100%-owned or majority-controlled, with strong exploration potential and the necessary permits to advance development.

New Craigmont Copper Project

Nicola’s flagship asset, the New Craigmont Project, is a historic producer of over 900 million pounds of copper. Since acquiring 100% ownership in 2015, the company has drilled over 18,000 meters and identified significant skarn-hosted and porphyry-style mineralization. Recent drilling in 2024 confirmed 52.9 meters at 1.03% Cu (Hole NC-24-002), supporting the presence of a large-scale copper system. The project benefits from paved road access, connection to BC Hydro’s grid, and proximity to urban centers.

Treasure Mountain Silver Project

This 100%-owned past-producing mine has a Major Mines permit (M-239) and an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate. The site includes multiple silver-lead-zinc veins and is permitted to extract up to 60,000 tonnes annually. Nicola is evaluating potential reactivation or joint venture options. Resource estimates include indicated resources of 52,000 tonnes grading 18.1 oz/t Ag, 3.26% Pb, and 3.4% Zn, and inferred resources of 161,000 tonnes grading 22.0 oz/t Ag, 2.48% Pb, and 3.86% Zn.

Dominion Creek Project (Au-Ag)

Nicola holds a 50% land ownership and 75% economic stake in this gold-silver project. Located 43 km from Wells, British Columbia, the site has returned grab samples averaging 61.3 g/t Au and 173.7 g/t Ag. The company has received its final permit and plans to extract a 10,000-tonne bulk sample in 2025, which will be processed at its Merritt Mill facility.

Operations

In addition to its exploration assets, Nicola Mining operates a suite of permitted industrial facilities in British Columbia that generate revenue and support the company’s broader development strategy. These assets form the backbone of Nicola’s self-sustaining business model.

Merritt Mill & Tailings Facility

Nicola owns and operates British Columbia’s only provincially permitted toll mill for gold and silver, a $30 million flotation facility located near Merritt. Gold production began in 2023. The facility is supported by long-term Milling and Profit Share Agreements with companies including Osisko Development Corporation, Blue Lagoon Resources, and Talisker Resources.

Sand & Gravel Pit / Rock Quarry / Ready-Mix Concrete Plant

Nicola also operates a permitted gravel pit (100,000 t/year), rock quarry (1,500 t/day), and is set to launch a ready-mix cement plant in Q2 2025. These operations, run in partnership with local First Nations, generate stable cash flow to support exploration efforts.

Market Opportunity

Nicola Mining is uniquely positioned in southern British Columbia, a jurisdiction recognized for its mining-friendly policies, skilled labor force, and robust infrastructure. The New Craigmont Project is geologically situated within the Guichon Creek Batholith, a region hosting some of Canada’s largest copper mines, including Highland Valley. Exploration data from 2023 and 2024 support the potential presence of both skarn and porphyry systems, increasing the strategic value of Nicola’s holdings.

The company’s other assets, including Treasure Mountain and Dominion Creek, are located in historically productive areas with high-grade mineralization and established access routes. Dominion Creek, in particular, sits atop the Isaac Lake Fault system—identified in British Columbia’s RGS (Regional Geochemical Survey) as a highly anomalous gold-silver corridor. Nicola’s integrated production model enables it to generate revenue while advancing these exploration programs without excessive dilution, providing a distinct advantage in a volatile commodities market.

Leadership Team

Peter Espig, Chief Executive Officer & Director, is a former diamond driller who spearheaded Nicola through a restructuring into its recent growth. He brings over $2 billion in private equity transaction experience, is a pioneer of SPACs, and has held senior positions at Goldman Sachs Japan and Olympus Capital.

Will Whitty, VP of Exploration, brings to the company over 15 years of experience in copper and gold exploration. He previously worked at Freeport-McMoRan and Nevada Gold Mines. He holds a master’s degree from the Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) at the University of British Columbia.

Bill Cawker, Corporate Development, manages investor relations, communications, and corporate governance. He joined Nicola in 2023 and brings extensive small-cap public markets experience, along with a degree in economics from the University of British Columbia.

Sam Wong, Chief Financial Officer, is a CPA with over 18 years of experience in the mining sector. He previously held executive roles at several publicly listed resource companies. He began his career at Deloitte LLP in Vancouver.

Nicola Mining Inc. (OTCQB: HUSIF), closed Tuesday's trading session at $0.4729, off by 0.6136774%, on 13,476 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 117,640 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.1498/$0.5.

Latin America's accelerated adoption of green energy is positioning the region at the forefront of the global transition to renewables. With renewable energy capacity surging across several countries, Latin America is on track to become a global leader in green energy adoption, especially if the U.S. fails to improve its approach to renewables. Despite being historically the world's largest polluter (only surpassed by China in recent decades), the U.S. lacks a coherent long-term green energy policy. The Trump administration revoked most of the prior administration's renewables-related policies and recently dealt a significant blow to American green energy with the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, while giving the fossil fuel industry a leg-up. Gerardo Bocard, a Wood Mackenzie research analyst, notes these major Latin American economies share key characteristics: growing urbanization, dependence on mineral and fossil fuel exports, and increasing energy demand. Consequently, they face shared challenges that present opportunities for coordinated regional action. International Energy Agency (IEA) projections published in 2023 suggest Latin America could meet all new energy demand for the rest of the decade using green energy alone. Brazil has significant hydroelectric potential, Chile is a solar powerhouse, and hydropower is becoming increasingly key in Colombia and Peru. As these countries ramp up their use of renewable alongside their adoption of other climate-friendly technologies like electrific vehicles from manufacturers like Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN), the region is on course to reap outsized rewards of scaling down the diverse pitfalls linked to the pervasive use of fossil fuel in different industries.
