CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP).

The NCI, or National Cancer Institute, a federal body, has revealed that it will no longer fund a program that has been running for 26 years focused on advancing clinical studies on children with brain cancers. The group, Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium, was founded in 1999 to bring together 15 academic institutions and pediatric hospitals within the United States and Canada to conduct early-stage clinical trials (Phase 1 and Phase 2). This consortium has a record of conducting trials aimed at exploring new therapies, strategies for delivering radiation treatment, and finding new technologies to deliver treatments specifically focused on pediatric patients. It has also worked with the COG (Children's Oncology Group) to move the early-stage trials into advanced-stage clinical studies. Keith Desserich, the PBTC Foundation's president, expressed disappointment about the discontinuation of funding to the consortium. He added that they had hoped that their performance record of completing 42 clinical trials and helping at least 2,200 patients would have been reason enough to keep supporting their activities. Such discontinuations of critical funding for studies on pediatric brain cancers make the work of for-profit entities like CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) all the more important since these companies remain focused on channeling their resources to the quest to bring to market new therapies for pediatric brain tumors so that more patients can access life-saving treatments. 

CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) is a clinical stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system.

The company was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas.

Organ Targeted Therapeutics

The company’s lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. Berubicin also has potential to treat other central nervous system malignancies. Based on limited clinical data, Berubicin appears to be the first anthracycline to cross the blood brain barrier in the adult brain, and it was the subject of a successful Phase 1 study which found the MDT and produced efficacy data as well.

CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound. The company has acquired all requisite data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase I clinical trial of Berubicin in malignant brain tumors. In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. In 2017, CNS entered into a collaboration and asset purchase agreement with Reata.

CNS intends to explore the potential of Berubicin to treat other diseases, including pancreatic and ovarian cancers and lymphoma. The company is also examining plans to develop combination therapies that include Berubicin.

CNS estimates that more than $25 million in private capital and grants were invested in Berubicin prior to the company’s $9.8 million IPO in November 2019.

CNS intends to submit an IND for Berubicin during the fourth quarter of 2020 and expects to commence a Phase II clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S. in Q1 2021. A sub-licensee partner was awarded a $6 million EU/Polish National Center for Research and Development grant to undertake a Phase II trial of Berubicin in adults and a first-ever Phase I trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland in 2021.

The company’s second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent licensed from the MD Anderson Cancer Center. In preclinical studies, WP1244 proved to be 500-times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent, daunorubicin, in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. The company has entered into a sponsored research agreement with the MD Anderson Cancer Center to further the development of WP1244.

CNS Pharmaceuticals recently engaged U.S.-based Pharmaceutics International Inc. and Italian BSP Pharmaceuticals SpA for the production of the Berubicin drug product. The company has implemented a dual-track manufacturing strategy to mitigate COVID-19-related risks, diversify its supply chain and provide for localized availability of Berubicin. CNS has already completed synthesis of Berubicin’s active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and has shipped the API to both manufacturers in order to prepare an injectable form of Berubicin for clinical use.

Global Brain Tumor Therapeutics Market

The high recurrence rate of malignant brain tumors is due to reappearance of focal masses, indicating that a sub-population of tumor cells in these cancers may be insensitive to current therapies and may be responsible for reinitiating tumor growth. This necessitates the development of newer drugs in the market that demonstrate greater efficacy in treating such aggressive cancers.

A global increase in neurological disorders has placed increased attention on cancers of the brain over the past decade. Neurological disorders are becoming one of the most prevalent types of disorders, due to longer life expectancy, greater exposure to infection and an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. Because few treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain exist, costs are high and have acted as a restraint for the brain tumor therapeutics market.

Despite progress in surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapeutic strategies, effective treatments for brain cancer are limited by a lack of specific therapies for the brain and the difficulty in transporting therapeutic compounds across the blood brain barrier. Therefore, there is a significant need for novel and effective therapeutic drugs and strategies that prolong survival and improve quality of life for brain tumor patients.

Several companies are making significant investments into R&D, which is expected to bring more treatment options to the market in the near future. Industry reports consistently project continued growth in the market.

One report estimates that the global brain tumor therapeutics market will reach a valuation of $2.74 billion in 2023, with the market expected to register a CAGR of 11% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2023. Another report projects that the global brain tumor therapeutics market will reach $3.4 billion by 2025, up from $2.25 billion in 2019 (https://nnw.fm/eDUjp).

Located approximately 25 kilometers southwest of Arctic, the Bornite project is a large-scale carbonate replacement copper deposit with significant upside. According to the 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), Bornite is expected to support a 6,000 tonne-per-day underground operation over a 17-year mine life, using re-purposed infrastructure from the Arctic Project.

Bornite contains an estimated 6.5 billion pounds of inferred copper. The PEA outlines pre-tax NPV8% of $552.1 million and IRR of 23.6%, with an after-tax NPV8% of $393.9 million and IRR of 20.0%, based on a copper price of $4.20/lb. Total payable copper production over the life of mine is projected at 1.9 billion pounds.

Bornite’s mineralization occurs in stacked, stratabound zones rich in chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite. A subset of the South Reef zone offers high-grade underground mining potential, further enhancing Bornite’s future optionality.

Exploration Pipeline

The Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects span 471,796 acres and include more than 30 additional mineralized prospects beyond Arctic and Bornite. These lie along two geologically distinct and highly mineralized belts: the Ambler Schist Belt and the Bornite Carbonate Sequence.

The Ambler Schist Belt features multiple VMS-style prospects along its 100-kilometer strike length, including Sunshine, Snow, Nora, Shungnak, and BT. Neighboring deposits like Smucker (Teck) and Sun (Valhalla Metals) affirm the district’s regional potential. Ten of Trilogy’s VMS prospects have been drill tested with encouraging results.

Meanwhile, the Bornite Carbonate Sequence extends 16 kilometers along the Cosmos Hills and hosts additional targets such as Pardner Hill and Aurora Mountain. These zones show strong signs of copper and cobalt mineralization and were partially tested during the Kennecott era, suggesting significant room for expansion.

Together, these assets form the foundation of a multi-decade development and discovery platform in one of the most prospective undeveloped mining districts in North America.

Market Opportunity

Trilogy Metals is poised to benefit from long-term structural demand for copper and other critical minerals essential to electrification, energy infrastructure, and clean technologies. Copper, in particular, is expected to see major supply shortfalls due to underinvestment and accelerating demand from power grids, EVs, and data centers.

According to a Grand View Research report, the global copper market is projected to grow from $241.88 billion in 2024 to $339.95 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.5%, driven by the energy transition and rising infrastructure investments.

Trilogy’s Arctic and Bornite projects are strategically located in Alaska, a top-tier mining jurisdiction with strong permitting frameworks and growing federal and state-level support, including recent executive orders streamlining approvals for the Ambler Access Project. The company also maintains a $50 million shelf prospectus and an active $25 million ATM equity program to fund future development.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (TSX: PTM) (NYSE American: PLG)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (TSX: PTM) (NYSE American: PLG).

The energy sector in the state of Texas outperforms California when it comes to generating electricity, with higher reliability and lower prices. While this is commendable, the government interfering with the sector may see so many of these benefits come undone. By both economic output and population, California and Texas are the biggest states in the country. Despite this, their energy policies are vastly different. While renewable energy produced by California is higher as compared to that produced by Texas, the former's grid is more prone to black outs. Experts believe that this is the only way Texas can continue to lead in energy production, noting that if this isn't adhered to, the state may find itself dealing with the same pricing and reliability issues currently affecting California. As energy generation ramps up in Texas and other states, it is hoped that reliability will keep improving and costs will level off. Entities like Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) also have a role to play in this by availing the needed critical minerals that energy generation systems depend on. 

Platinum Group Metals (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) released its updated Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for the Waterberg Project, underscoring its scale and economic strength. "The newest DFS updates the original 2019 Waterberg DFS and was prepared by leading engineering firms Stantec and DRA, with South Africa based Fraser McGill providing project management oversight," reads a recent article. "Among its headline outcomes, the updated study revealed a 20% increase in proven and probable mineral reserves, totaling 23.41 million ounces of combined platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold (‘4E') across a 54-year mine life. The report also incorporated enhancements that lowered both capital and operating costs, streamlining the construction and ramp-up schedule."

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) is the operator of the Waterberg Project, a bulk underground platinum group metals (PGM) deposit discovered by Platinum Group in 2011 and located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. The Waterberg Project is planned as a fully mechanised platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold mine, including by-product copper and nickel production, and is projected to be one of the largest and lowest cost PGM mines globally.

The project is a joint venture between Platinum Group; integrated PGM producer Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. (OTCQX: IMPUY); Japanese consortium HJ Platinum, which includes trading house Hanwa Co. and the government-backed Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC); and local empowerment partner Mnombo Wethu Consultants (Pty) Ltd. Platinum Group has an effective 50.22% interest in the Waterberg Project.

The company’s primary business objective is to advance the Waterberg Project to a development and construction decision. An update to the 2019 Definite Feasibility Study is expected in 2024.

PGMs are essential and precious metals that include platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium and ruthenium. These metals are known for their purity, high melting points and unique catalytic properties. They are utilized in a number of industrial processes, technologies and commercial applications and play a critical role in autocatalysis and pollution control in the automotive sector. The bulk of global PGMs are mined in Southern Africa and Russia.

The unique properties of PGMs are being applied to various technologies as possible solutions for more efficient energy generation and storage, which may create new demand for PGMs. The company’s battery technology initiative through Lion Battery Technologies Inc., using platinum and palladium in lithium battery technologies, represents one such new opportunity in the high-profile lithium battery research and innovation field.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. founded Lion Battery Technologies Inc. in partnership with Anglo American Platinum Ltd. (AMS: JNB) to support the use of palladium and platinum in lithium battery applications. Lion Battery has entered into an agreement with Florida International University to further advance a research program that uses platinum and palladium to unlock the potential of Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) battery chemistries.

Platinum Group is headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., and Johannesburg, South Africa.

Waterberg Project

Platinum Group’s sole material mineral property, the Waterberg Project, is presently in process with pre-construction permitting; engineering work, including road upgrade and traffic studies; finalization of power and water infrastructure design; and construction camp design.

The company’s principal product from the Waterberg Project is planned to be a PGM-bearing concentrate. The concentrate will contain economic amounts of six elements comprising platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold, copper and nickel. The company’s partner in the Waterberg Project, Impala Platinum Holdings, has acquired a right of first refusal to enter into an offtake agreement, on commercial arm’s-length terms, for the smelting and refining of mineral products from the Waterberg Project.

The Waterberg project has proven and estimated reserves of 19.5 million ounces of PGMs and gold. When fully operational, the mine is projected to produce more than 400,000 ounces of PGMs annually during the peak period of steady state production. The life of the mine is projected at 45 years.

South Africa’s PGM mining sector remains closely tied to economic developments in the global automotive industry, which in 2022 accounted for approximately 43% of the total global demand for platinum and 82% of the total global demand for palladium.

Market Opportunity

According to a report from Straits Research, a global market and business research firm, the worldwide platinum market had an estimated value of $7.72 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $11.95 billion by 2031. That represents a CAGR of 5.13% over the forecast period.

Platinum, one of the rarest of precious metals, is about 30 times scarcer than gold. It is crucial to the automotive and electronics industries and is also used to make jewelry. Stricter emissions regulations around the world have led to an increased demand for platinum to be used in catalytic converters to reduce automotive emission, the report states.

A report from Allied Market Research estimated the global palladium market at $16.3 billion in 2021 and projects the market will reach $28.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% over the period.

Palladium is also used in automotive catalytic converters for reducing emissions and in jewelry, dentistry, watchmaking, blood sugar test strips, aircraft spark plugs, surgical instruments, electrical contacts and musical instruments.

An increase in demand for consumer electronics has driven demand for palladium-based multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) used to store energy in electronic devices such as broadcasting equipment, mobile telephones, computers, electronic lighting and high voltage circuits, according to the report.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF).

Canadian near-term producer LaFleur Minerals is developing an exploration property with 18,304 hectares (45,230 acres) of gold-potential at its Swanson Gold Project, which is located in the heart of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt close to Val-d'Or, Québec, a globally renowned gold district

The company has undertaken funding initiatives recently to raise capital for its operations

As part of an ongoing 5,000 metre program at Swanson, LaFleur has already completed seven diamond drill holes on the project, three of which had been sampled, sawn, and sent to the assay laboratory as of early last month

The company has also filed an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Swanson Gold Project and is working to restart operations of its fully permitted and refurbished Beacon Gold Mill to eventually build a revenue stream from processing nearby mine production as well as its own potential mineralized material from Swanson

Gold prices have hit record highs of late and some analysts predict gold prices may continue to rise over $4,000 per ounce in the coming year

Gold exploration and development company LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is advancing its two gold projects in the heart of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt close to Val-d'Or, Québec, a globally renowned gold district, where the company began drilling in early July.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is a Canadian exploration and development company advancing the district-scale Swanson Gold Project in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt and progressing toward the near-term restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill. The company’s strategy centers on consolidating strategic land packages—highlighted by its flagship Swanson Gold Project, a 160 km² district-scale property that includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. The company is leveraging its 100%-owned, fully permitted and recently refurbished Beacon Gold Mill to transition from explorer to near-term gold producer—a key inflection point that typically triggers a market re-rating, further bolstered by current rising gold market prices. By processing material from Swanson and offering custom milling to regional projects, LaFleur aims to generate cash flow with minimal capital outlay, targeting annual gold production of up to 15,000 to 20,000 ounces by early 2026.

LaFleur’s vision is to evolve into an intermediate gold producer by capitalizing on strong market conditions and Québec’s rich mining infrastructure. The location, in the world-class Abitibi Gold Belt, and its infrastructure advantage, positions LaFleur for regional consolidation, strategic partnerships, or acquisition interest. Its mission emphasizes efficient value creation through methodical exploration, low-cost asset advancement, and opportunistic acquisitions—including land and deposits from Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining.

Québec ranks among the world’s top mining jurisdictions, offering access to flow-through capital and regulatory stability. LaFleur’s integrated strategy—combining exploration at Swanson, a permitted mill at Beacon, and potential custom milling agreements—supports a streamlined path to near-term production.

LaFleur Minerals is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Projects

LaFleur Minerals’ operations focus on two strategically located assets in the Abitibi Gold Belt: the Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill and Mine. These projects leverage the region’s world-class mining infrastructure and high-grade gold potential to drive the company’s transition to production.

Swanson Gold Project

The Swanson Gold Project spans 16,600 hectares and hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits along a major structural break in the Abitibi Gold Belt. The 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Swanson deposit outlines 123,400 oz of gold in Indicated category (2.1 million tonnes at 1.8 g/t) and 64,500 oz in Inferred category (872,000 tonnes at 2.3 g/t). Located 66 km north of Val-d’Or, the Project is accessible by road and rail and benefits from more than 36,000 meters of historical drilling, along with existing infrastructure including an 80-meter decline portal.

Recent work—including airborne magnetics, soil sampling, and Induced Polarization surveys—has identified multiple high-priority targets and resulted in several high-grade gold assay results, including a grab sample grading 11.71 g/t Au at Jolin, which points to significant upside as the Company prepares to test multiple new zones.

LaFleur has defined over 50 drill targets at Swanson and nearby prospects (Bartec, Jolin, Marimac) and is completing a minimum 5,000-metre diamond drilling beginning in June 2025. LaFleur Minerals has also initiated permitting for a 100,000-tonne surface bulk sample averaging 1.89 g/t Au, which it plans to process at the Beacon Gold Mill as part of a near-term production strategy.

Beacon Gold Mill

LaFleur’s 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill is a fully refurbished and permitted mill and tailings storage facility capable of processing 750 tonnes per day (tpd), with potential expansion to 1,800 tpd, with access to numerous nearby gold deposits that could be prime sources of ore. Located only 60 km from Swanson, it underwent a $20 million upgrade by Monarch Mining in 2022 and has been under care and maintenance since early 2023. LaFleur is finalizing a C$5-6 million restart plan, ramping up production by late 2025 into early 2026, processing Swanson mineralized material and assessing custom milling opportunities for regional deposits, creating multiple potential revenue streams.

The Beacon Gold Mill is a de-risked, proven asset that benefits from existing infrastructure, including access to roads, power, and skilled labor, and further enhances the overall value proposition of LaFleur by providing a clear path to production and potential revenue-generation.

Market Opportunity

LaFleur Minerals is targeting the gold mining and processing market in Québec’s Abitibi Gold Belt, one of the world’s most productive gold regions. Its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill, with a 750 tpd capacity and authorization to process 1.8 million tonnes of tailings, is strategically positioned to handle material from LaFleur’s Swanson Gold Project and to offer custom milling for nearby deposits such as Granada Gold. The company projects annual production of over 30,000 ounces of gold once in full production, with potential for significant revenue generation based on prevailing market prices.

Global demand for gold remains robust, driven by geopolitical risk, inflation hedging, and central bank accumulation. The World Gold Council forecasts 3-5% annual demand growth through 2030, with average prices expected between $3,200 and $3,500/oz. Within this environment, Québec’s top-tier mining jurisdiction—ranked fifth globally by the Fraser Institute in 2023—offers streamlined permitting and access to flow-through capital. LaFleur’s low-cost Beacon restart (C$5-6 million) and proximity to more than 100 active and historical mines position the company to fill a growing need for small-to-medium scale custom milling.

At Swanson, LaFleur plans to grow its current 187,900-ounce resource toward 1 million ounces through its 2025 drilling program. This hub-and-spoke strategy, leveraging centralized milling and strong local infrastructure, reduces development risk and strengthens LaFleur’s foothold in one of the most attractive gold belts in the world.

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) is a Canadian mine development and exploration company advancing a portfolio of gold and silver assets in Nevada’s Walker Lane, one of the world’s most productive and mining-friendly regions. Through its U.S. subsidiaries, the company controls four gold and silver properties in Nevada, three of which are 100%-owned and one controlled via a low-cost option to acquire full ownership. With a clear near-term path to production, Lahontan is focused on unlocking oxide gold and silver value from past-producing, infrastructure-rich projects.

The company’s mission is to responsibly develop and expand its oxide resources while minimizing capital intensity and maximizing economic returns. Leveraging a strong technical team with a track record of advancing projects and building mines, Lahontan is focused on growing gold and silver resources and hitting permitting milestones across multiple sites. Its strategy prioritizes scalability, efficiency, and timely value realization for shareholders.

By maintaining full project ownership and a capital-light development model, Lahontan Gold is positioned to rapidly transition from development to production.

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.

SEGG Media Corp. (NASDAQ: SEGG; LTRYW) is a global sports, entertainment, and gaming company redefining how audiences connect with content through immersive technology and ethical engagement. Formerly known as Lottery.com Inc., the company recently completed a comprehensive corporate transformation, rebranding as SEGG Media (short for Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Media) to reflect its new strategic direction and structural overhaul.

With a mission to fuse real-time experiences, fan-first platforms, and responsible innovation, SEGG Media operates at the intersection of sports, entertainment, and gaming. Its business model is built around three synergistic verticals, each designed to scale globally while delivering meaningful value to fans, partners, and shareholders.

From sim racing and esports to live event streaming and charitable gaming, SEGG Media is building a next-generation platform that redefines how audiences interact with their favorite content and communities.

The company is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.

Portfolio

SEGG Media’s operations are structured across three core verticals: Sports.com, Entertainment, and Lottery.com.

• Sports.com is SEGG’s global hub for immersive sports media, covering sim racing, football, motorsports, and athlete-led content. The vertical includes Sports.com Studios, Sports.com Media, and Nook, each focused on original storytelling and fan-driven experiences. In June 2025, SEGG announced plans to acquire a 51% stake in the sports and technology assets of GXR World to launch the Sports.com Super App, a first-of-its-kind platform combining live streaming, e-commerce, community chat, real-money and fantasy gaming, and sports news. Built on GXR’s tech stack, which already draws over one million monthly active users, the Super App is expected to debut in Q3 2025 with an initial focus on soccer and motorsports.
• The Entertainment pillar includes AI-driven event streaming, music and fashion media, and hybrid live experiences. As part of its acquisition-led growth model, SEGG is advancing a proposed deal to acquire DotCom Ventures Inc., owner of Concerts.com and TicketStub.com, to build out ticketing, event distribution, and direct-to-fan monetization infrastructure. This initiative aligns with SEGG’s five-year plan to unify content, commerce, and fan engagement under one platform, supported by a $100 million financing facility activated in May 2025.
• Lottery.com, SEGG’s ethical gaming division, delivers domestic and international lottery access, iGaming, instant wins, sports betting, charitable gaming through properties such as WinTogether, and syndicated results data to more than 800 publishers through Tinbu. With compliance issues resolved and new operating structures in place, the platform is being relaunched globally through Lottery.com International.

Together, these three verticals enable SEGG Media to unify fragmented fan experiences into a fully integrated global ecosystem—where sports, gaming, content, and commerce converge.

Market Opportunity

The global sports betting industry is undergoing rapid expansion as digital adoption accelerates and new markets open to regulation. According to Grand View Research, the sports betting market was valued at $100.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $187.39 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 11% from 2025 to 2030. This growth is fueled by increased internet penetration, widespread mobile usage, and rising interest in real-time, interactive fan experiences.

Beyond sports betting, SEGG Media also operates in the high-growth arenas of streaming, esports, and AI-powered content delivery. These adjacent markets are seeing double-digit global growth as fans demand more immersive, on-demand, and participatory forms of entertainment. With its diversified platform and strategic positioning across three converging verticals, SEGG Media is built to capitalize on multiple long-term secular trends and unlock scalable revenue opportunities.

Leadership Team

Matthew McGahan, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, joined the company in October 2022. Since then, he has played a central role in stabilizing operations, restructuring the organization, and guiding its rebrand to SEGG Media. McGahan brings a mix of entrepreneurial drive and philanthropic leadership, having founded the UK-based charity Mask Our Heroes during the COVID-19 pandemic and previously built and sold the Harley-Davidson dealership Magic Automotive Group.

Tim Scoffham, CEO of Sports.com Media and Lottery.com International, brings over 20 years of leadership experience across gaming, media, and digital sports entertainment. Appointed following a successful consultancy period, Scoffham now leads SEGG’s global growth strategy for its iGaming and sports media divisions. He is focused on expanding international operations, aligning media and technology platforms, and driving revenue across high-growth jurisdictions while strengthening regulatory partnerships.

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) (FSE: Z7D) was highlighted in a recent article that discussed its unique approach to the gold and silver market. The company is "working to first rehabilitate an established legacy mine site in Quebec, generating sufficient capital to proceed with a deeper exploration strategy… ESGold expects to generate significant revenue during the first few years of operation by recovering known metals and minerals that can be repurposed profitably," the article reads. "The company has already conducted a non-invasive, cost-effective Ambient Noise Tomography (‘ANT') survey… indicating open potential at depth both vertically and laterally for ESGold's eventual plans for exploration at the legacy site."

To view the full article, visit https://ibn.fm/R4qi3

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.

Financial markets are playing an increasingly important role in driving Spain's renewable energy movement. The country's stock market has become a strong ally to green energy in recent months, leading an investment shift that is reshaping the Iberian Peninsula's energy landscape. Since renewable energy relies heavily on investor capital, the presence of major companies like Iberdrola, Acciona Energía, and Solaria gives Spain a significant advantage. These companies are attracting substantial investor attention to Spain's green energy sector, channeling the capital needed to advance the country's carbon neutrality goals. They also account for a large share of Spain's overall generation capacity, supplying more than 56% of its electricity in 2025 as the nation increasingly turns to renewables. Spain's ability to address these bottlenecks will determine how quickly it can capitalize on the current momentum. If the country succeeds, it could not only secure its own clean energy future but also establish itself as a central hub in Europe's broader renewable energy transition. As more renewable energy is integrated into national grids as is happening in Spain, other complementary technologies like EVs made by Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: BINI), are bound to collectively move the needle in efforts to arrest the effects of climate change.

Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: BINI) is a Southern California-based automotive company building the next generation of commercial electric vehicles (“EVs”) with United States-based manufacturing located in Tunica, Mississippi.
