A catalytic converter is a device found in car exhaust systems, designed to prevent toxic pollutants from being emitted to the environment. This device works by converting these harmful pollutants into safer by-products like nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water vapor. Its structure is coated with platinum group metals that act as catalysts which trigger chemical reactions that help transform the pollutants into less harmful substances. These metals are preferred because they can resist chemical reactions which damage cars like rust. The metals in question are rhodium, palladium and platinum. Rhodium focuses on catalyzing reactions with nitrogen oxides while palladium and platinum work on hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Individuals willing to go the extra mile can also look for anti-theft devices for catalytic converters manufactured by different firms. These devices are designed to attach to an individual's car, preventing thieves from reaching the converter itself. The ongoing concerns about the rampant theft of catalytic converters show that companies like Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSE: PTM) that focus on mining rare minerals like platinum, rhodium and palladium are onto something and stand to benefit from the increasing use of these metals in vehicles.

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.

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) announced its inclusion in a NetworkNewsWire editorial titled "The Dollar Is Sliding—Here's How Wall Street Is Positioning Now," which highlights gold's record-setting performance and projections of further price gains. The article emphasizes opportunities with junior producers, noting ESGold's secured permits, funding, and near-term production potential at its Montauban Project. With a capital-efficient, high-margin model and targeted 2026 production, ESGold is positioned as a compelling growth story compared to ETFs and large producers in the current gold cycle.

To view the full press release, visit https://nnw.fm/gygSq

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 device is also central to the company’s broader commercialization strategy, which includes platform extensions and future imaging-based product lines outlined in its recently completed 150-page business plan and financial model.

In preparation for launch, Izotropic is also rolling out strategic awareness platforms. These include a company-hosted podcast and the development of breastct.com, a new educational resource to support patients, clinicians, and stakeholders. These initiatives are designed to enhance engagement, reinforce brand positioning, and build early market traction for IzoView.

Market Opportunity

Izotropic is targeting the global breast imaging market, which is undergoing rapid innovation as healthcare providers seek more accurate, patient-friendly alternatives to traditional mammography.

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.

SEGG Media Corp. (NASDAQ: SEGG), closed Thursday's trading session at $5, even for the day, on 52,585 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 121,917 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $2.202/$26.45.

Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRB)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRB).

Nutriband (NASDAQ: NTRB) announced it will participate in the MicroCap Rodeo Conference in New York City on Sept. 25, 2025. Company Chairman Serguei Melnik will present at 10 a.m., discussing operational highlights, growth initiatives, and the strategic direction for its AVERSA platform technology. The presentation will be webcast live, with registration available for interested parties.

To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/gMG2M

Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRB) is engaged in the development of a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products. The company’s AVERSA™ technology can be incorporated into any transdermal patch and includes aversive agents to prevent abuse, diversion, misuse and accidental exposure to drugs with abuse potential, specifically opioids.

AVERSA technology has the potential to improve the safety profile of transdermal drugs susceptible to abuse, such as fentanyl, while making sure that these drugs remain accessible to patients who need them. The technology is covered by a broad intellectual property portfolio with patents granted in the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and China, with recent extensions into Macao.

The company’s business model is to apply its transdermal technology to existing FDA-approved drugs with a goal of improving safety, efficacy and patient comfort while qualifying for a limited-development regulatory pathway that reduces the number of clinical trials required for approval of new drugs.

Nutriband has three subsidiaries, including 4P Therapeutics, its clinical and regulatory subsidiary; Pocono Pharmaceutical, a contract manufacturer for a wide range of clients; and Active Intelligence, a developer of sports recovery products. This ownership of manufacturing and clinical development capabilities drastically reduces costs for AVERSA and other technologies.

In April 2024, Nutriband announced that the company had been engaged by and received a first order from Fit For Life Group, a major brand license holder. A fully executed supplier agreement is expected to follow. Nutriband’s wholly owned Active Intelligence subsidiary will act as manufacturer.

In February 2025, the company formalized its product development partnership with Kindeva Drug Delivery through a long-term exclusive agreement. The collaboration supports the commercial pathway for AVERSA Fentanyl by leveraging Kindeva’s FDA-approved transdermal fentanyl patch system.

The company is headquartered in Orlando, Florida.

Products

Nutriband’s lead product candidate is AVERSA Fentanyl, an abuse-deterrent fentanyl transdermal patch. The company announced in March 2024 that it will submit a New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration seeking approval to market AVERSA Fentanyl. In subsequent updates, Nutriband confirmed that the NDA submission remains the company’s primary focus and is backed by a strong cash position.

Nutriband has partnered with Kindeva Drug Delivery, a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization, to incorporate Nutriband’s AVERSA abuse-deterrent transdermal technology into Kindeva’s FDA-approved transdermal fentanyl patch system. Because Nutriband’s abuse-deterrent technology is incorporated into the fentanyl patch but is physically separate from and does not come in contact with the drug layer, the clinical trials typically needed to demonstrate safety and efficacy for a new drug formulation would not be required.

In support of this commercialization strategy, Nutriband closed an $8.4 million private placement in April 2024 to fund development activities related to AVERSA Fentanyl. The company also licensed Bitrex®, a widely used aversive agent, to enhance the deterrent profile of its patch formulation.

AVERSA Fentanyl has the potential to be the first and only abuse deterrent patch approved anywhere in the world. The company plans to seek an expedited review by the FDA, as has been granted for certain abuse-deterrent oral opioid products, which shortens the regulatory review period to six months from the conventional 10-month FDA review cycle for NDAs.

Nutriband’s AVERSA product development pipeline also includes abuse deterrent versions of currently approved and marketed transdermal patches containing buprenorphine, an opioid used to treat opioid use disorder, and methylphenidate, a central nervous system stimulant used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Both are labeled with FDA-required warnings for the risk of abuse and misuse, as well as warnings against accidental exposure.

Market Opportunity

Nutriband cites a market analysis report from Boston-based Health Advances, a healthcare and life sciences consulting firm. According to the report, upon FDA approval, AVERSA Fentanyl has the potential to reach peak annual sales of $200 million in the U.S.

The company further states that, should non-abuse-deterrent transdermal fentanyl products lose FDA marketing approval, AVERSA Fentanyl would have greater pricing flexibility and would have the potential to generate more than $500 million in annual revenue.

Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: BINI)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: BINI).

Porsche just got hammered by investors after admitting what everyone already suspected: betting big on electric vehicles while your customers still want gas-powered sports cars is a recipe for financial disaster. The German luxury carmaker's shares tanked over 7% on Monday after the company slashed its profit margin guidance from a respectable 5-7% down to 2% for 2025, basically admitting they completely misread the market. The whole mess stems from Porsche trying to force an electric transition on customers who aren't buying it, literally. Rising U.S. tariffs, weaker demand, and China's economic slowdown have created a perfect storm that's forcing the company to backtrack on its EV rollout and extend the life of its combustion engines. Parent company Volkswagen is taking an even bigger beating, with a massive $6 billion hit from this product overhaul mess. The EU's 2035 ban on combustion engines is still looming, but auto executives are desperately lobbying Brussels to relax those targets because they've realized the transition timeline was completely unrealistic. For Porsche, this means trying to give customers the flexibility and drivetrain choices they actually want instead of forcing them into electric cars before they are ready or willing. For startups like Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: BINI) that specialize in producing BEVs, the choices on the way forward are relatively easier to make since they aren't being compelled to change from making gas-powered vehicles to EVs.

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.

In August 2023, Mullen began commercial vehicle production in Tunica. As of January 2024, both the Mullen ONE, a Class 1 EV cargo van, and Mullen THREE, a Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, are California Air Resource Board (“CARB”) and EPA certified and available for sale in the U.S. The Company’s commercial dealer network consists of Papé Kenworth, Pritchard EV, National Auto Fleet Group, Ziegler Truck Group, Range Truck Group, Eco Auto, and Randy Marion Auto Group, providing sales and service coverage in key West Coast, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, New England, and Mid-Atlantic markets.

In September 2022, Bollinger Motors, of Oak Park, Michigan, became a majority-owned EV truck company of Mullen Automotive. Bollinger Motors has passed numerous milestones including its B4, Class 4 electric truck production launch on Sept. 16, 2024, and the development of a world-class dealer network with over 50 locations across the United States for sales and service support.

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.

PowerBank Corporation (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) (NASDAQ: SUUN)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight PowerBank Corporation (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) (NASDAQ: SUUN).

European officials are pushing hard for a fairer distribution of clean energy investments after revealing some pretty stark numbers about who's actually benefiting from the global shift away from fossil fuels. The EU Commission has launched the Global Energy Transitions Forum to address what they're calling massive inequalities in how clean energy money gets distributed around the world. While global clean energy spending reached $2 trillion last year, with renewable technologies receiving ten times more funding than fossil fuels in the power sector, the vast majority of that investment is flowing to wealthy nations while developing countries get scraps. The ambitious targets are certainly impressive on paper, tripling renewable energy capacity globally by 2030 while doubling energy efficiency improvements, but achieving these goals will require funding increases for poorer countries that dwarf anything we've seen before. The forum's success will ultimately depend on whether it can move beyond the usual diplomatic rhetoric and create mechanisms that force real money to flow toward the countries and regions that need it most. The successful strategies implemented inevitably need to support private sector players like PowerBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FRA: 103) to target these less leveraged markets in order to attain renewable energy goals.

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF).

Phase One drilling at Santa Fe delivers shallow oxide intercepts including 89.9 meters grading 0.23 g/t Au at York and 39.6 meters grading 0.30 g/t Au at Slab

Second high-grade York zone discovered 18.3 meters grading 0.73 g/t Au, including 12.2 meters at 1.0 g/t Au, confirming new structural controls

Warrant acceleration could provide $1.7 million in proceeds, reinforcing Lahontan's ability to fund ongoing exploration and development

The gold development sector continues to walk a fine line between exploration success and financial strength. Investors look for companies that can expand resources while maintaining the capital to move projects toward production. Nevada, with its mining-friendly jurisdiction and extensive infrastructure, remains a prime location for this balancing act. Lahontan Gold (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) is currently exemplifying this dynamic through positive drill results at its Santa Fe Mine project and a concurrent warrant acceleration that bolsters its balance sheet.

Lahontan Gold (TSXV: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) announced its Exploration Plan of Operations has entered National Environmental Policy Act review by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, a process expected to move quickly as a draft Environmental Assessment is already completed. The Company also signed a Contributed Funds Agreement to provide funding for additional BLM personnel, potentially expediting the review. CEO Kimberly Ann said the plan supports staged drilling of more than 700 holes at the Santa Fe Mine Project, enhancing opportunities to expand gold and silver resources and future mining potential.

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.

Leadership Team

Kimberly Ann, Founder, CEO, President & Executive Chair, is a veteran mining executive with a track record of founding and scaling junior resource companies. She has raised over $210M in financing and led the $340M buyout of Prodigy Gold.
