Since inception, 6,834,505.96 SOL have been purchased at an average cost of $232.08 per SOL, with nearly all holdings currently staked. Forward Industries' validator infrastructure exceeds the average yield of the top 10 validators by approximately 20 basis points. Backed by Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital, Forward continues to execute its Solana treasury strategy aimed at building long-term shareholder value while supporting the growth of the Solana ecosystem.

Forward Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: FORD) is building and managing a large-scale Solana (SOL) treasury, backed by some of the most influential investors in the digital asset space. The company’s strategy centers on long-term shareholder value through active participation in the Solana ecosystem, which it views as uniquely positioned to underpin future global capital markets due to its high throughput, deep economic activity, and growing developer adoption.

Through this shift, Forward Industries aims to create value by accumulating SOL and strategically deploying assets through on-chain opportunities including staking, lending, and participation in decentralized finance (DeFi). Forward also became the first U.S.-listed company to bring its common stock onto the Solana blockchain, reinforcing its focus on digital-native capital markets.

Forward Industries is headquartered in New York.

Solana Treasury Operations

In September 2025, Forward Industries closed a $1.65 billion private investment in public equity (PIPE) led by Multicoin Capital, Galaxy Digital, and Jump Crypto. The PIPE proceeds were deployed to acquire over 6.8 million SOL at an average price of $232 per token, with a portion executed on-chain via DFlow, a decentralized exchange aggregator built exclusively for Solana trading applications. The company has since staked the entirety of its treasury, actively generating yield through native Solana infrastructure and DeFi applications.

Forward’s strategy is centered on growing SOL per share, leveraging a range of tools including at-the-market (ATM) equity offerings and potential preferred equity issuance. The company is also targeting acquisitions and strategic partnerships within the Solana ecosystem to accelerate treasury yield and ecosystem alignment. As part of its infrastructure expansion, Forward tokenized its FORD shares on the Solana blockchain in collaboration with Superstate and plans to acquire an equity interest in the platform. The tokenized shares are expected to enable 24/7 trading, real-time settlement, and eligibility for use as DeFi collateral.

This shift was supported by the company’s board and executive team, whose composition reflects deep alignment with the Solana ecosystem — including leadership from Multicoin Capital and board observers from Galaxy and Jump Crypto. The company’s stated objective is to establish itself as the leading institutional participant in the Solana ecosystem, uniquely positioned to capture both economic yield and strategic exposure to one of the fastest-growing blockchain networks in the world.

Market Opportunity

Solana has emerged as the most performant blockchain in the digital asset space, processing over 8.9 billion transactions in Q2 2025 and sustaining approximately $3 billion in daily decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume. Year to date, Solana applications have generated over $4 billion in fees and more than $1 billion in real economic value (REV), a proxy for free cash flow generated by the network.

DeFi participation, stablecoin usage, and developer activity have all grown substantially, with over $1.5 trillion in swap volume recorded through 2025. SOL staking yields have averaged over 8%, comprised of both inflationary rewards and organic yield from network activity. With 17 pending ETF applications and major institutions like BlackRock, Visa, PayPal, and HSBC integrating Solana, Forward Industries is positioned to benefit from a rising tide of institutional adoption, tokenization of real-world assets, and increased demand for high-performance blockchain infrastructure.

Leadership Team

Kyle Samani, Chairman of Forward Industries, is the co-founder and Managing Partner of Multicoin Capital, an early Solana backer and one of the largest holders of SOL. Samani contributed $25 million to the PIPE and is a key strategic leader behind Forward’s treasury roadmap.

Mike Pruitt, Interim CEO of Forward Industries, joined the board in February 2025 and was appointed Interim CEO in May. He is the founder of Avenel Financial Group and previously served as CEO of Chanticleer Holdings, bringing decades of public company leadership and capital markets experience.

Kathleen Weisberg, Chief Financial Officer of Forward Industries, was appointed CFO in July 2023 after serving as Corporate Controller since 2020. Weisberg is a CPA with prior roles at WW International, Symbol Technologies, and Ernst & Young.

Forward Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: FORD), closed Wednesday's trading session at $24.37, up 0.6193229%, on 309,398 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 581,175 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $3.32/$46.

OptimumBank Holdings Inc. (NYSE American: OPHC) is a single bank holding company that owns 100% of OptimumBank, a community bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. OptimumBank offers relationship-driven banking available in person, by phone, and online, serving both local and international clients by offering an alternative to the high fees and impersonal service of larger institutions. Its expertise in real estate and commercial lending has made it a preferred partner for borrowers seeking knowledgeable, accessible financial support.

Driven by disciplined execution and a commitment to local relationships, OptimumBank has experienced substantial organic growth, positioning itself as one of the fastest-growing community banks in the region. The company has surpassed $1 billion in total assets and remains focused on scaling efficiently, maintaining sound credit quality, and delivering strong returns for shareholders.

Looking ahead, the bank is embracing technology modernization while remaining grounded in the principles of relationship-based banking. A new open-architecture core platform, targeted loan expansion, and sustained deposit growth are key pillars of its forward strategy.

Products

OptimumBank offers a full suite of business and personal banking solutions, including Business Banking, Business Lending, SBA Lending Solutions, Treasury Management, and Personal Banking. Its lending focus includes commercial real estate, multifamily, construction, residential, and consumer loans.

The bank achieved Preferred Lender status with the Small Business Administration in just over two years—an uncommon accomplishment—and rapidly scaled its SBA lending operations from zero in record time.

OptimumBank’s continued investments in talent, technology, and compliance infrastructure ensure scalability as it targets its next major milestone: becoming a top 200 publicly traded bank in the United States. The bank has maintained a track record of net recoveries in recent years, with no loan losses in over seven years and no defaults in its current loan portfolio.

West Vault Mining Inc. (TSX.V: WVM) (OTCQX: WVMDF) is a development-stage gold company focused on maximizing shareholder value through a low-risk, cash-conservative strategy. The company has followed a disciplined model of acquiring, advancing, and holding high-quality gold projects in premier jurisdictions, with the goal of monetizing these assets as market conditions become favorable. Its core emphasis is on controlling dilution and timing development decisions to optimize shareholder returns across the commodity cycle.

Since its formation following the successful C$424 million sale of West Timmins Mining in 2009, West Vault has remained laser-focused on opportunities in North America’s most prolific gold-bearing regions. This strategy has led to the acquisition and advancement of its flagship Hasbrouck Gold Project in Nevada, which is permitted and construction ready.

With a highly experienced management team and board that emphasize transparency, capital discipline, and long-term alignment with shareholders, West Vault is positioned as a unique vehicle offering exposure to gold price upside without the risks associated with early-stage construction.

The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Project

West Vault controls a 100% interest in the Hasbrouck Gold Project, located between Tonopah and Goldfield in Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane Trend. The project comprises two primary oxide gold deposits—Three Hills and Hasbrouck—spanning a 10,500-acre land package. Both deposits are situated above the water table, with excellent infrastructure access including nearby grid power, highway connections, and water rights.

The company’s strategy is grounded in maintaining shovel-ready optionality. The most recent Pre-feasibility Study “base case”, completed in January 2023 by RESPEC Company LLC, reaffirmed the strength of the Hasbrouck Project, demonstrating an after-tax Net Present Value (NPV5%) of US$206 million and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 51% at a gold price of $1,790/oz—well below current prices. In the Pre-feasibility Study sensitivity table, a $2,600/oz gold price resulted in an after-tax Net Present Value (NPV5%) of US$503 million and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 110%. Phase 1 (Three Hills Mine) is expected to require a modest initial capital investment of US$66 million in 2023 dollars, with the Phase 2 (Hasbrouck Mine) development planned to be funded through free cash flow from Three Hills. Average gold production is projected at 71,000 ounces per year with an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$877 per ounce.

The project benefits from a low strip ratio (1.1:1), no pre-stripping requirements at the first pit, and a simple run-of-mine heap leach process with a 75% average gold recovery based on 13 metallurgical test programs. In addition to its existing Mineral Reserves and Resources, West Vault retains strong exploration upside, including intercepts outside the current resource model and a 1% NSR royalty on properties adjacent to Hasbrouck, enhancing long-term value potential.

Market Opportunity

West Vault’s cash-conservative approach and construction-ready asset position the company to capitalize on favorable shifts in the gold market without taking on near-term development or financing risk.

According to J.P. Morgan Research, gold prices are forecast to average $3,675 per ounce by the fourth quarter of 2025 and trend toward $4,000 per ounce by mid-2026, driven by persistent geopolitical tensions, demand rebasing, and recessionary tailwinds. With its permitted status, minimal overhead, and leverage to gold price appreciation, West Vault is strategically positioned to benefit from these macroeconomic tailwinds.

Leadership Team

Peter Palmedo, Chairman and Director, is the founder and president of Sun Valley Gold LLC, where he has spent more than 25 years investing in precious metals as a strategic asset class. Prior to founding SVG, he was a principal at Morgan Stanley & Co., specializing in equity portfolio risk management and derivatives. He served as a director of Chesapeake Gold Corp. until 2013 and joined the board of West Vault in 2019.

Sandy McVey, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, is a Professional Mining Engineer and registered Project Management Professional with over 30 years of experience in underground and surface mine operations, heavy civil construction, and mine development. He joined West Vault Mining in 2012 to lead the advancement, permitting, and construction of the company’s projects and has been instrumental in acquiring and bringing the Hasbrouck Gold Project to a construction-ready state.

Frank Hallam, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, is a Chartered Professional Accountant with more than 30 years of experience in the mining, minerals, and petroleum industries. He has served as an operator, principal, and founder of several TSX and NYSE American companies, including Platinum Group Metals, MAG Silver, and West Timmins Mining. He has raised over $2 billion in public offerings and been directly involved in numerous M&A transactions, including the C$424 million sale of West Timmins and the billion-dollar acquisition of Lake Shore Gold by Tahoe Resources.

West Vault Mining Inc. (OTCQX: WVMDF), closed Wednesday's trading session at $1.63, up 5.1613%, on 4,660 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 29,580 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.6/$1.6599.

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

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

Nicola Mining (TSXV: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) (OTCQB: HUSIF) provided an update on 2025 preparation work at its wholly owned Treasure Mountain Silver Project, located 30 km northeast of Hope, British Columbia, and outlined plans for its 2026 exploration drilling program. The upcoming program follows years of groundwork, including an airborne magnetic geophysical survey, extensive soil sampling, and 2025 field reconnaissance focused on defining drill targets northwest of the currently suspended mine. Treasure Mountain, a fully permitted silver mine placed on care and maintenance in 2013 due to low silver prices, remains a core asset for Nicola. The Company recently received a multi-year area-based exploration permit allowing diamond drilling and trenching, as well as a 10-year mine lease extension through April 26, 2032, positioning it to advance exploration as silver market conditions strengthen.

To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/6gV9b

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 Wednesday's trading session at $0.77622, up 5.6082%, on 23,729 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 152,070 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.1498/$0.92.

(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.

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) s a critical metals technology company developing scalable rare earth element (“REE”) refining infrastructure in North America. Originally founded in 2006 as a mineral exploration company, Ucore has since evolved into a processing technology innovator focused on commercializing its proprietary RapidSX™ platform under a $18.4 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense, with additional support from Natural Resources Canada. The company’s flagship deployment is the Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex (“SMC”), with additional SMCs planned to follow.

Ucore’s mission is to help reestablish a domestic REE supply chain by offering competitive, modular processing solutions that reduce dependence on China. Supported by government funding, private capital, and engineering partnerships, Ucore aims to meet growing demand for rare earth oxides in electric vehicles, defense systems, and advanced energy technologies.

The company is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Projects & Technology

RapidSX™ Separation Technology

RapidSX™ is Ucore’s proprietary rare earth separation platform, delivering three times faster processing than traditional solvent extraction (SX) methods. Its current demonstration program in Kingston, Ontario, is being conducted under contract with the U.S. Department of Defense to prove commercial readiness for processing both heavy and light REEs. The project is also supported by Natural Resources Canada.

RapidSX™ employs a column-based design that eliminates the need for powered mixer-settlers, enabling a smaller facility footprint, quicker commissioning, and lower CAPEX and OPEX. The platform is adaptable to light and heavy REE feedstocks and is structured for modular scale-up.

The 52-stage RapidSX™ Commercial Demonstration Plant in Kingston, Ontario—operated in partnership with Kingston Process Metallurgy—has logged thousands of runtime hours and is currently processing rare earth feedstock further to the company’s U.S. Department of Defense contract. In January 2025, Ucore secured a $500,000 non-dilutive grant from Ontario’s Critical Minerals Innovation Fund to support the advancement of the Kingston facility and, in the words of Ontario Mines Minister George Pirie, “build a secure supply chain ready to fuel the technologies of tomorrow.”

Strategic Metals Complex – Louisiana

Ucore has selected an 80,800-square-foot brownfield site within the England Airpark in Alexandria, Louisiana, as the location for its first commercial rare earth refining facility. The Louisiana SMC is expected to scale from 2,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of total rare earth oxides initially to 5,000 TPA, with potential to ultimately reach 7,500 TPA.

The facility benefits from Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) status, reducing tariff burdens on imported inputs and enhancing logistics efficiency. In addition to these structural advantages, the state of Louisiana has outlined an incentive package valued at $15 million, including a $900,000 infrastructure grant and $360,000 in additional local support. The project is expected to create 100 family-wage jobs and has received strong support from federal and state officials.

To date, Ucore has secured $2.3 million in milestone payments under its $18.4 million OTA award from the U.S. Department of Defense. In early 2024, the company also secured C$2.16 million in private investment from Hondo Private Equity to support its commercialization efforts.

Bokan-Dotson Ridge REE Project – Alaska

Ucore maintains 100% ownership of the Bokan-Dotson Ridge heavy REE project in Southeast Alaska. A Preliminary Economic Assessment was completed in January 2013. The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) has authorized $145 million in bond financing under SB99 (2014) to support future development.

While Bokan remains a long-term asset, Ucore continues to advance it at a measured pace, complementing its near-term focus on commercial rare earth refining and oxide production at the Louisiana SMC.

Market Opportunity

According to Grand View Research, the global rare earth elements market was estimated at $3.95 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6% from 2025 to 2030. The market outlook remains strong, fueled by the growing demand for permanent magnets and catalysts in the automotive sector.

In March 2025, President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to prioritize domestic critical mineral production, signaling a national mandate to reduce reliance on “hostile foreign powers’ mineral production.” One month later, the Chinese government enacted immediate export restrictions on seven key rare earth elements, including dysprosium and terbium, further intensifying pressure on Western nations to develop secure and independent supply chains. This underscores the strategic value of Ucore’s domestic separation infrastructure.

Leadership Team

Pat Ryan, P.Eng., Chairman and CEO, is the founder of Neocon International, a leading automotive OEM supplier. He brings over 25 years of experience in global supply chain innovation and has led Ucore since 2014 in its strategic pivot toward rare earth processing.

Peter Manuel, Vice President, CFO & Corporate Secretary, has served as Ucore’s financial lead for 14 years. Trained as a Chartered Accountant, with extensive experience across Canada, England, and Ireland, Mr. Manuel has advised public and private entities on strategic planning, treasury, and assurance.

Michael Schrider, MEng, P.E., Vice President & COO, is a multidisciplinary engineer with over 30 years of experience. He founded and operated engineering firms SAi and ABD and has overseen all phases of Ucore’s technical development since 2016.

Geoff Atkins, Vice President of Business Development, has 30 years of mining experience and was instrumental in advancing both Lynas’ Mt. Weld and Vital Metals’ Nechalacho REE operations. He brings deep operational knowledge and leads feedstock strategy at Ucore.
