CMX (CSE: CXC) (OTC: CXXMF) , an exploration-stage company, is moving forward with the exploration of its flagship Clayton Silver project in Idaho. The 1,028-acre property holds 29 patented mining claims, 2 patented mill sites, and 20 unpatented claims. “The mine once ranked as the most active underground mine in the district, producing silver, along with lead, zinc, minor gold, and copper. However, the Clayton mine was never fully explored. It was only mined along a single vein because no more ore was needed for the small mill operation. But the site represents a dolomite limestone deposit, uplifted when the mountains were formed. Geology suggests a high probability that there are other undiscovered cracks in the overall deposit, cracks into which geothermal fluids would have flowed and deposited minerals, just as they were in the original producing vein. As a result, the company sees it as highly improbable that the single partially mined vein was the only silver vein there.”

CMX Gold & Silver Corp. (CSE: CXC) (OTC: CXXMF) is advancing the historic Clayton Silver Mine in Idaho, a past-producing underground operation with a long operating history and significant remaining exploration potential. The company holds a 100% interest in the project through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary and has positioned the asset as its sole operational focus, allowing management to concentrate technical, financial, and strategic efforts on a single, well-documented silver system.

Clayton was mined for more than five decades but was never systematically explored using modern geophysical or drilling techniques. Historical operators followed known mineralization to supply a relatively small mill and did not pursue broader resource definition or deeper targets, leaving substantial portions of the mineralized system only partially mined or entirely untested. CMX has compiled extensive historical records and mine data that now form the foundation for a modern reassessment of the property.

As CMX advances Clayton during a period of sustained supply deficits and rising industrial demand for silver, the company does so with a high degree of internal alignment. As of December 2025, management, directors, and associated shareholders collectively held approximately 70% of the company’s issued and outstanding shares, underscoring a long-term commitment to the project’s development.

The company is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta.

The Clayton Silver Project

The Clayton Silver Project is CMX’s 100%-owned flagship asset, located in the Bayhorse Mining District of central Idaho, approximately 30–40 kilometers south-southwest of Challis. The property comprises a 1,028-acre land package, including 29 patented mining claims and two patented mill sites (approximately 562 acres) and 20 unpatented claims (approximately 466 acres). The patented claims provide surface ownership rights, carry no government royalties, and do not require drilling permits.

Historic Production and Development

The Clayton Silver Mine operated from 1935 to 1986 and was one of the most active underground mines in the district. Recorded production totaled approximately 7.0 million ounces of silver, along with lead, zinc, copper, and minor gold, from an estimated 2.15 million tonnes of ore, representing an illustrative gross metal value of approximately $660 million at $75/oz silver. Underground development reached eight levels to 1,100 feet, with nearly 19,700 feet of workings, and partially mined two tabular ore bodies known as the South and North Ore Bodies.

Geological Potential

Mine records and historical drilling indicate that mineralization remains open to depth and along strike. Notably, drill hole 1501-A intersected 22 feet of high-grade polymetallic mineralization at approximately 1,425 feet, confirming continuity below the deepest historic workings. CMX has determined that little modern geophysical work or systematic exploration drilling was conducted during the mine’s operating life.

Planned Exploration Programs

Beginning in spring 2026, CMX plans to conduct a comprehensive geophysical program over the historic mine and surrounding structures, including a 3-D Direct Current Induced Polarization (DCIP) survey and a Magnetotelluric (MT) survey. These surveys are intended to delineate known structures, identify extensions of partially mined ore bodies, and evaluate deeper sources of mineralization, with follow-up diamond drilling planned to test priority targets.

Surface Stockpile Opportunity

CMX also controls a surface stockpile estimated to exceed 1.0 million tonnes of mineralized material that was historically mined but not processed. Testing conducted in 2014 and TOMRA ore-sorting trials in 2022 and 2023 demonstrated that X-Ray Transmission (XRT) sorting increased silver grades by approximately 6.4 times and lead and zinc grades by approximately seven times, while recovering more than 70% of contained metals into a high-grade concentrate representing about 10% of the original mass.

Market Opportunity

Silver is a critical industrial metal with more than 10,000 documented uses and is valued for its electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and antimicrobial properties. Global silver demand is estimated at approximately 1.19 billion ounces, while global mine production is approximately 830 million ounces, resulting in a persistent supply deficit driven largely by industrial consumption across electronics, solar photovoltaics, electric vehicles, medical applications, catalysts, and battery technologies.

These supply-demand dynamics have been reflected in pricing. In January 2026, silver exceeded $80 per ounce, up 160% over the prior 12 months. This pricing underscores the impact of sustained physical deficits, declining mine supply since 2016, and rising industrial demand tied to green energy, electrification, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. With approximately 70% of global silver production sourced as a byproduct of other metal mining, the industry’s ability to respond quickly to higher prices remains constrained, reinforcing the structural nature of the current market imbalance.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS).

Stocks of memory chip manufacturers fell sharply this week as new signals suggested that the global shortage of memory chips may begin to ease. The decline wiped out nearly $100 billion in market value across major U.S. companies, showing how sensitive the sector has become to changes in expectations around artificial intelligence. The biggest hit was taken by Micron Technology, which lost more than $70 billion in value in just a few days. Other companies, including SanDisk, Western Digital, and Seagate Technology, also saw their shares drop significantly. These companies had been among the top performers over the past year, driven by strong demand for memory chips used in artificial intelligence systems. The main reason behind the sudden decline is a shift in how investors view future demand. A new research development from Google introduced a method called TurboQuant. This technology allows AI models to run using much less memory while still keeping their performance strong. If widely adopted, this could reduce the need for large amounts of memory in data centers. The broader market has also felt the impact of rapid changes in AI development. New advancements are creating uncertainty across multiple sectors, leading to sudden movements in stock prices. At the same time, real-world effects are already visible. Sony recently raised prices for its PlayStation 5, partly due to higher memory costs. In the end, the recent drop in memory chip stocks reflects changing expectations rather than a collapse in demand. As AI continues to evolve, the balance between efficiency and growth will play a key role in shaping the future of the industry. Another factor that could introduce volatility into tech stocks would be the rapid and widespread adoption of quantum computing. Given the pace at which sector leaders like D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) are hitting their development milestones, it may not be long before investors have another disruptive factor to weigh into the calculations regarding the trajectory of the tech stocks they put their money into.

• The company’s AI-driven digital asset trading platform combines artificial intelligence, blockchain settlement, and EU-compliant market infrastructure, and CEO Patrick Gruhn is expected to outline the company’s strategy and engage with investors at the Emerging Growth Conference, taking place online April 1, 2026.
• Perpetuals operates technology supporting a CySEC-authorized multilateral trading facility under European regulatory frameworks.

Perpetuals.com (NASDAQ: PDC) , a fintech company developing AI-powered trading products and prediction markets, announced that CEO Patrick Gruhn will deliver a presentation and participate in a live question-and-answer session with investors at the Emerging Growth Conference on April 1 at 12:35 p.m. Eastern Time. The free, online event will provide an overview of the company’s AI-driven trading infrastructure and its broader strategy ( https://ibn.fm/6FTub ). According to details released by the company, investors will be able to watch the presentation via live webcast through the conference portal ( https://EmergingGrowth.com ).

Perpetuals.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: PDC) is a publicly traded, regulated digital market infrastructure company enabling derivatives trading through a compliant, API-driven platform. Built as infrastructure rather than a balance-sheet exchange, the company provides brokers, institutions, and trading venues with regulated access to crypto and tokenized derivatives while avoiding custody, credit, and counterparty exposure by design.

The platform addresses a structural gap created as demand for leveraged digital asset exposure has outpaced the availability of compliant market infrastructure, particularly in Europe. Regulatory constraints limit how traditional brokers can legally offer crypto leverage, while many existing trading venues operate outside regulated frameworks. Perpetuals is designed to function within these constraints by combining institutional-grade execution, real-time settlement, and structured product capabilities under an EU-regulated market framework.

By operating as a regulated trading venue and infrastructure provider, Perpetuals enables market participants to access derivatives through transparent and auditable systems rather than offshore or unregulated alternatives.

Platform & Infrastructure

Perpetuals operates a regulated hybrid exchange built on proprietary infrastructure and structured around an EU Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) framework. The platform is designed as institutional trading infrastructure, incorporating a high-speed matching engine, real-time settlement, built-in compliance and surveillance, and a hybrid architecture that delivers centralized exchange performance with blockchain-based transparency.

The platform is API-native by design, enabling direct integration with CFD brokers, institutional counterparties, and trading venues. Through turnkey APIs, partners can integrate order routing, execution, structured product issuance, market data, settlement, risk management, and compliance reporting, while the platform is designed to avoid custody of client assets and balance-sheet exposure. This infrastructure-first model allows Perpetuals to function as a regulated trading venue rather than a trading counterparty.

On top of this infrastructure, the platform is designed to support crypto spot trading, perpetual futures, futures, options, swaps, and tokenized structured products, including regulated knock-out instruments intended to operate within European regulatory constraints. Perpetuals also incorporates a prediction and insight engine designed to reward accurate market signals while generating datasets used to refine pricing, risk parameters, and trading intelligence across its structured products.

Market Opportunity

Perpetuals operates at the intersection of several large and converging markets, including crypto derivatives, regulated trading infrastructure, CFD brokerage technology, and tokenized financial products. The global crypto perpetual futures market processes approximately $2.18 trillion in monthly trading volume, while Europe’s CFD market generates roughly $17.34 trillion in monthly notional volume from approximately 4.9 million active retail accounts.

European regulatory frameworks restrict CFD brokers from legally offering high-leverage crypto products, creating a significant gap between trader demand and compliant market access. As a result, demand for crypto leverage has outpaced the availability of regulated infrastructure capable of serving brokers and institutional participants. This dynamic has left a large segment of retail and professional trading activity without compliant, onshore solutions.

Perpetuals addresses this gap by enabling regulated knock-out and structured products that allow leveraged crypto exposure without breaching leverage caps. In parallel, the emergence and adoption of tokenized financial instruments and real-world assets have increased demand for compliant, multi-asset trading venues. By operating within a regulated MTF framework and supporting tokenized issuance and trading, Perpetuals enables participation in the ongoing institutional adoption of digital asset markets without reliance on offshore or unregulated systems.

LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT) is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing differentiated cancer therapies built around a novel biological target. Rather than introducing standalone treatments, the company is focused on advancing a first-in-class approach designed to enhance the effectiveness of established cancer therapies, addressing persistent challenges that continue to limit outcomes in oncology.

LIXTE’s work centers on improving how chemotherapy and immunotherapy perform in difficult-to-treat cancers with significant unmet medical need. By translating a distinct scientific concept into therapies that can be integrated into existing treatment frameworks, the company aims to expand the reach and impact of current standards of care without requiring wholesale changes to clinical practice.

Alongside internal development, LIXTE has pursued selective strategic actions that extend its capabilities beyond drug development, supporting its evolution into a platform-oriented oncology company spanning both pharmaceutical and technology-driven approaches.

The company is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida.

Portfolio

LB-100 (PP2A Inhibitor Platform)

LIXTE’s lead clinical candidate, LB-100, is a proprietary small-molecule inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) designed to enhance the activity of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The compound has demonstrated a favorable safety profile in Phase 1 clinical trials and has been supported by more than 25 published preclinical and translational studies. LB-100 is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical programs targeting solid tumors with limited treatment options.

Ongoing trials include combinations of LB-100 with immunotherapy in ovarian clear cell carcinoma and metastatic MSI-low colon cancer, as well as combination therapy with chemotherapy in advanced soft tissue sarcoma. These studies are being conducted in collaboration with leading academic cancer centers and industry partners, reflecting LIXTE’s emphasis on externally validated clinical execution.

Radiotherapy Platform Expansion (Liora Technologies)

In November 2025, LIXTE expanded beyond pharmaceuticals with the acquisition of Liora Technologies Europe Ltd., adding an electronically controlled proton therapy platform known as the LiGHT System. This acquisition established LIXTE’s entry into radiotherapy, complementing its drug development activities and creating optionality for future recurring revenue models tied to jointly operated treatment centers.

Market Opportunity

LIXTE is targeting cancers where existing therapies show limited durability due to resistance, toxicity constraints, or suboptimal patient response. Chemotherapy and immunotherapy are widely applicable across tumor types but remain constrained by these factors, creating an opportunity for approaches that improve efficacy without proportionally increasing toxicity.

The company’s clinical programs focus on ovarian clear cell carcinoma, metastatic colon cancer, and advanced soft tissue sarcoma, indications characterized by high unmet need and limited effective treatment options. Rather than reshaping oncology care, LIXTE is developing LB-100 to augment existing therapies, an approach that could support wider clinical use within established treatment pathways.

CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP)

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

Scientists have overcome production barriers that have plagued doxorubicin manufacturing since the 1970s by engineering bacteria that generate 180% more of the critical chemotherapy drug than current methods achieve. The breakthrough addresses molecular bottlenecks that forced pharmaceutical companies to rely on expensive, multi-step processes despite treating over one million cancer patients annually with the medication. The advance could reshape how essential medicines get produced globally. Doxorubicin has been essential to the treatment of breast cancer, bladder cancer, lymphomas, and carcinomas since gaining approval five decades ago. However, bacteria that naturally synthesize the compound do so extremely inefficiently, creating supply constraints and high costs that persist despite the drug’s widespread importance. The work appeared in Nature Communications and represents a potential shift for pharmaceutical manufacturing. As cancer treatment demands grow globally and supply security becomes increasingly important, production methods that nearly triple output from biological sources could improve drug access and affordability. The approach may extend beyond doxorubicin to other complex therapeutic molecules where natural producers operate inefficiently, opening paths to sustainable medicine manufacturing at industrial scale. It would be interesting to hear what leading cancer drug developers like CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) think about this breakthrough that has occurred half a century after doxorubicin first emerged as a trusted form of therapy against several cancers.

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

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

Organ Targeted Therapeutics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Global Brain Tumor Therapeutics Market

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

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

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

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

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