DefendAir

DefendAir is ParaZero’s multi-layered Counter-UAS system designed to intercept hostile drones with high accuracy and minimal collateral damage. The platform employs patented net-interception technology and supports defense forces protecting bases, critical infrastructure, government facilities, and frontline units. Company-reported demonstrations conducted with Israeli defense and homeland security authorities have shown successful interception across a range of real-time scenarios involving fast, maneuverable, and RF-denied drones.

DefendAir is deployed through three complementary delivery mechanisms that enable flexible interception across dynamic battlefield and fixed-site environments:

• Interception Drone – The airborne configuration places a net-interception pod on an autonomous multirotor, enabling rapid engagement of hostile drones approaching from extended ranges or complex angles. This mobile layer offers adaptable response options where ground-based systems may have limited reach.
• Stationary Turret – The turret provides automated 360-degree perimeter coverage for fixed sites. Using optical detection and autonomous tracking, it identifies and intercepts approaching drones with a non-explosive, low-collateral method suitable for urban or sensitive environments.
• Hand-Held Net Launcher – The hand-held launcher offers infantry and security personnel a lightweight, tactical close-range interception tool. It enables unit-level drone neutralization in environments where jamming or spoofing is ineffective, providing a practical last-line defense option.

Together, these configurations provide flexible interception capabilities for a wide range of defense and security missions.

DropAir

DropAir is ParaZero’s high-accuracy aerial delivery solution engineered for autonomous or remotely controlled missions in complex and hostile environments. The system enables safe, precise delivery of sensitive payloads, including medical supplies, blood transfusions, tactical equipment, and humanitarian aid, without requiring the drone to land or expose ground personnel to risk. Its HALO-style late parachute deployment minimizes drift and lowers detectability, supporting both multirotor and fixed-wing UAVs.

DropAir has demonstrated operational effectiveness in collaboration with the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the Israel Defense Force Medical Corps, including a breakthrough field trial in which blood transfusions dropped from 200 meters were recovered fully intact and suitable for human use.

The system’s modular pod design secures a variety of payloads and is adaptable to a wide range of UAV platforms, with carrying capacities of 5, 10, or 20 kilograms depending on drone capability. Built for rapid deployment and all-weather performance, DropAir provides reliable resupply options for defense, disaster response, and remote operations where conventional logistics cannot safely reach.

Market Opportunity

ParaZero operates within rapidly expanding segments of the global unmanned systems and defense markets. According to Fortune Business Insights, the anti-drone (counter-UAS) market was valued at $2.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from $3.1 billion in 2025 to $12.24 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 21.62%. This expansion is driven by the increasing use of drones in modern conflicts, the emergence of new threat types such as RF-denied and fiber-optic-guided drones, and the need to protect critical infrastructure, military bases, and sensitive facilities.

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

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

Disseminated on behalf of ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) and may include paid advertising.

ESGold Corp., an exploration-stage company committed to the acquisition, exploration, and development of high-quality mineral properties worldwide, is bolstered by strong global gold prices

Gold futures contracts have reported a 2.82% growth, closing at $4,451 an ounce as of January 5, helped by geopolitical and economic stresses, including intensified tensions between the United States and Venezuela

ESGold, through the investments made in 2025, including significant developments with its Montauban project in Quebec, is rapidly progressing to capitalize on this growth

ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) , an exploration-stage company committed to acquiring, exploring, and developing high-quality mineral properties worldwide, is strengthened as geopolitical instability keeps gold, silver, and other precious metals soaring. The company's management believes that the steps taken over the course of 2025, including the closing of a flow-through share private placement and developments and investments in its Montauban project in Quebec, will be integral to supporting the company's success in 2026 ( https://ibn.fm/M9VPC ).

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.

A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ).

CMO Yaniv Zukerman argues retailers must close the gap between transactional data and real customer journeys

A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ) CMO Yaniv Zukerman explains that while retailers have become highly proficient at tracking transactions, pricing and inventory, they have steadily lost visibility into how shoppers actually behave inside the store . Most existing systems capture only end results, such as what was purchased and when, leaving the entire in-aisle journey largely invisible. This disconnect, he argues, creates a growing gap between how well retailers believe they understand their customers and how little they truly know about the decisions, hesitations and trade-offs that shape each shopping trip. Zukerman points to smart cart technology as a way to close that gap by turning the shopping cart into a continuous, consent-based engagement and insight touchpoint. By capturing real-time basket activity, showing running totals and delivering relevant offers during the trip, smart carts can reduce friction for shoppers while giving retailers a clearer view of movement, decision-making and behavior at scale. This visibility, he notes, enables retailers to design layouts, promotions and experiences based on how customers actually shop, rather than relying solely on aggregated transaction data after the fact.

A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ) is a global retail technology company focused on redefining how consumers and retailers interact in physical store environments. Through its innovative smart cart platform, the company offers a powerful vehicle for in-store digital engagement and monetization. A2Z’s business model blends hardware, software, retail media and data services to deliver scalable, recurring revenue across multiple layers of the retail value chain.

With a clear vision to unlock the full potential of every in-store shopping journey, A2Z is committed to bridging the gap between digital convenience and physical retail. Its mission centers on transforming routine trips into dynamic experiences that benefit both shoppers and retailers by enhancing satisfaction, loyalty, and operational performance. The company’s growth is supported by strategic deployments, long-term commercial agreements, and a global footprint spanning four continents.

A2Z Cust2Mate is headquartered in Canada, Israel and the United States.

Products

A2Z Cust2Mate’s flagship offering is its smart shopping cart platform, designed to bring the benefits of e-commerce into the brick-and-mortar environment. The Cust2Mate smart cart allows shoppers to scan products, receive personalized offers, and pay directly through the cart—bypassing traditional checkout lines entirely. The system integrates real-time product search, allergen warnings, nutritional data, and location-based promotions, creating a frictionless and engaging shopping experience.

For retailers, the smart cart addresses key pain points such as theft reduction, labor optimization, and shopper engagement at the point of purchase. It provides actionable, data-driven insights that improve operational efficiency and merchandising strategies. Recent commercial results have shown increases of over 15% in purchases per shopper, strong satisfaction ratings, and 75% customer return rates. The platform also supports queue management, loyalty integration, and screen-based advertising, with the ability to retrofit legacy carts using detachable modular control panels.

The company’s operations follow a hybrid revenue model including outright purchases, SaaS-based subscriptions, and recurring fees tied to software, support, and media monetization. Carts are manufactured through Tier 1 contract manufacturers, and scalable financing solutions are in place to support ongoing growth.

In October 2025, the company launched an AI and Business Insights Division to advance artificial intelligence integration across its smart-cart ecosystem. The initiative focuses on generative-AI-powered personalization, retail-media targeting, fraud detection, product recognition, and store optimization, further strengthening A2Z Cust2Mate’s leadership in data-driven retail innovation.

Market Opportunity

A2Z Cust2Mate operates in a rapidly expanding market for smart shopping cart solutions and in-store retail media. According to 360i Research, the global smart shopping cart market is forecast to grow from $2.2 billion in 2024 to $9.7 billion by 2030, representing a 27% CAGR. Simultaneously, the retail-media sector, driven by targeted, point-of-sale advertising, is projected to reach $165 billion by 2025, reflecting an approximate 20% compound annual growth rate.

The company’s monetization strategy is well-aligned with these trends. Under its 2025 agreement with Yochananof, A2Z Cust2Mate gained exclusive rights to monetize digital assets, retail media, and behavioral data generated by its deployed smart carts. Building on that foundation, the company secured multi-year retail-media agreements with Toys “R” Us Israel, The Red Pirate, and Lego, extending advertising campaigns across up to 5,000 smart carts. These partnerships combine cost-per-thousand (CPM) advertising with commission-based revenue on completed transactions, providing guaranteed recurring income and validating Cust2Mate’s model as a retail-media and data-monetization platform for global brands.

Additionally, A2Z aims to unlock new revenue streams through a digital cart marketplace, enabling sponsored product placements, third-party app integrations, and basket-based upsells. These capabilities extend the smart cart’s value proposition beyond hardware into data, advertising, and digital commerce, supporting the company’s long-term vision for platform-based growth.

The Arctic project is Trilogy’s flagship asset and one of the highest-grade known copper deposits in the world, with an average grade of approximately 5% copper equivalent. Located roughly 470 kilometers northwest of Fairbanks, Alaska, Arctic is a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit hosting copper, zinc, lead, gold, and silver. The project is at the feasibility stage and is currently undergoing permitting activities.

According to the 2023 Feasibility Study, Arctic will support a 10,000 tonne-per-day open-pit mining operation over a 13-year mine life. Based on long-term metal prices of $3.65/lb copper, $1.15/lb zinc, $1.00/lb lead, $1,650/oz gold, and $21.00/oz silver, the project demonstrates a pre-tax NPV8% of $1.5 billion and an IRR of 25.8%. After-tax, the NPV8% is $1.1 billion with a 22.8% IRR. At April 2025 spot metal prices, the after-tax NPV8% increases to $1.9 billion with a 31.1% IRR.

The project’s metallurgy supports high recoveries: 92.1% for copper, 88.5% for zinc, and 61.3% for lead. Life-of-mine payable production is projected to total 1.9 billion pounds of copper, 2.2 billion pounds of zinc, 335 million pounds of lead, 423,000 ounces of gold, and 36 million ounces of silver. Cash costs are expected to average $0.72 per pound of payable copper, with all-in costs estimated at $1.61 per pound.

Bornite Project

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).

A recent report has determined that by 2035, the global demand for copper shall have hit 42.7 million tons annually, representing a 24% increase. The report highlights that electrification initiatives like electric car production and renewable energy systems are driving long-term demand growth that extends well beyond conventional construction and industrial uses. To meet this demand, analysts argue that roughly 8 million tons of new capacity will be needed from brownfield and greenfield mining projects annually, in addition to 3.5 million tons from improved utilization of scrap copper. Mandates to reduce carbon emissions further constrain operations, influencing mine design and equipment selection. Mining firms are now required to integrate emissions-reduction technologies and renewable energy systems into their project plans, adding complexity to feasibility studies and economic assessments. While attention is currently being directed at the supply-side issues facing the copper industry, a similar situation may be unfolding in the platinum extraction industry where companies like Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) may need to expand their capacity or open new sites in order to address the persistent annual deficits. 

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.

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

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

Disseminated on behalf of Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) and may include paid advertising.

LGCXF recently received BLM approval for its flagship drill program at West Santa Fe, granting it access to about half of its land package

Lahontan Gold operates at the intersection of exploration, geological expertise, and strategic project development

With these updates, Lahontan Gold Corp is strategically positioned to maximize its mission to advance gold and silver projects in Nevada's Walker Lane, maximizing resource potential and stakeholder value

Lahontan Gold (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) , a top Canadian mineral exploration company focused on gold and silver projects in Nevada's Walker Lane district, is entering a transformative phase after securing the Federal Bureau of Land Management's permit for its West Santa Fe drill program. The site, which is located 13 km from Lahontan's Santa Fe Mine project, grants the company access to unpatented lode mining claims on federal lands, creating a new vista of opportunities ( ibn.fm/cQkw ). Building on this regulatory milestone, Lahontan has now commenced its reverse-circulation drilling campaign at West Santa Fe, aimed at validating historic drill data and advancing the project toward resource definition. Recent completion of drilling at the nearby Santa Fe Mine positions the company for an updated mineral resource estimate and future economic studies.

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.
