A Channel 4 special titled "Will AI Take My Job?" has drawn attention across the UK after viewers discovered that its on-screen host was not a real person but an AI-generated presenter. The hour-long episode, which examined the growing impact of automation on employment, ended with a revelation that surprised many watching at home. In the closing scene, the lifelike anchor announced to the audience that she did not actually exist. "Artificial intelligence will affect everyone in the years ahead," she said. "For some, it might even replace their roles—call centers, customer service, perhaps even TV hosts like me. Because I'm not human. I'm an AI creation. I was never on location. My voice and image were AI-generated." In a statement, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) said the digital figure "has no life experience, no genuine emotion, and represents a troubling misuse of real performers' work without consent or compensation." The union warned that such technology risks devaluing human creativity rather than advancing it. The world is set to witness more transformations in the way many traditional roles in various industries are being conducted. This is because the pace at which new technologies are being commercialized by various entities like D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) is increasing.

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

ESGold Corp., an exploration-stage company committed to the acquisition, exploration, and development of high-quality mineral properties worldwide, just marked a significant milestone with its on-the-ground validation and due diligence efforts at its new Colombia project

Its geological and metallurgical specialists will focus on evaluating the site's infrastructure and logistics, confirming historical tailings grades, reviewing exploration upside, and finalizing technical due diligence

According to the company's CEO, Gordon Robb, this milestone marks a major step forward in its strategy to build a scalable, multi-jurisdictional platform

ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) , an exploration-stage company committed to acquiring, exploring, and developing high-quality mineral properties worldwide, has marked a significant point in its evolution with on-the-ground validation and due diligence efforts at the Planta Magdalena Project in Colombia. This follows the pronouncement that its geological and engineering team had departed for Colombia to commence validation, a program preceded by the Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") announcement on August 20, 2025 ( https://ibn.fm/Znpwx ).

ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) announced its inclusion in a NetworkNewsWire ("NNW") editorial titled "Gold Breaks $4,000 as Capital Shifts Toward Cash-Generating Producers." The piece explores investors' growing movement from inflated growth sectors toward tangible assets such as precious metals, with both gold and silver reaching record highs alongside strong equity markets. ESGold exemplifies this shift through its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec, now under construction and targeting 2026 production, and its Planta Magdalena joint venture in Colombia, where historical data and early sampling indicate large-scale potential.

To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/bi85H

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.

Strawberry Fields REIT Inc. (NYSE American: STRW) is a self-administered real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership, acquisition, development, and leasing of skilled nursing and other healthcare-related properties. Initially spun out in 2015 with a 33-property portfolio in Indiana and Illinois, the company has steadily expanded its footprint and now owns and leases across 10 states. Its facilities are leased to experienced third-party operators, primarily under long-term triple-net agreements.

The company’s disciplined strategy emphasizes working with regional operators and experienced consultants, focusing on markets where demographic tailwinds and regulatory barriers support long-term demand. From 2020 through projected 2025, the company achieved compound annual growth rates of 13.6% in Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) and 13.5% in Adjusted EBITDA (AEBITDA).

In August 2025, the board of directors approved a 14.3% increase in the company’s quarterly dividend to $0.16 per share. Chairman and CEO Moishe Gubin stated that the dividend increase reflects the company’s strong performance and sustainable outlook, while still keeping the payout ratio below 50%.

Strawberry Fields REIT is headquartered in South Bend, Indiana.

Portfolio

As of September 2025, Strawberry Fields REIT owns and holds long-term leasehold interests in 142 healthcare facilities totaling more than 15,500 licensed beds. The portfolio includes 130 skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), 10 assisted living facilities (ALFs), and two long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs), with properties located in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.

In recent months, Strawberry Fields REIT has expanded its portfolio through the following acquisitions:

• Nine skilled nursing facilities in Missouri totaling 686 beds for $59 million. Eight of the facilities were added to an existing master lease with the Tide Group, increasing annual base rent by $5.5 million, while the ninth facility was added to Reliant Care Group’s lease, raising rent by an additional $0.6 million.
• An 80-bed skilled nursing facility near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for $4.25 million, which was leased to a current operator under a master lease with $425,000 of initial rents and 3% annual escalations.
• A 124-bed facility comprised of 108 skilled nursing beds and 16 assisted living beds near Poplar Bluff, Missouri, for $5.3 million, which was leased to a current operator under a master lease with $530,000of initial rents and 3% annual escalations.

Market Opportunity

Strawberry Fields REIT operates in the skilled nursing and post-acute healthcare real estate sector, which is supported by favorable demographic and regulatory trends. The U.S. population aged 65 and older is expected to exceed 72 million by 2030 and reach 88.5 million by 2050. According to the CDC, 83.5% of skilled nursing facility residents are 65 or older.

The sector benefits from high barriers to entry, including regulatory constraints, capital requirements, and operational complexity. At the same time, government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid provide a stable reimbursement base. The company noted that despite challenges, its operators have demonstrated consistent profitability in states that are traditionally considered difficult for SNF operators.

Spending on SNF care for the aging population is projected to grow from $181.6 billion in 2021 to $273 billion in 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 4.63%. Strawberry Fields REIT’s geographic clustering strategy and long-term lease structure position it to benefit from this increasing demand and constrained supply.

Leadership Team

Moishe Gubin, Chairman, CEO, and Founder, has served as CEO since the company’s inception and was involved in every acquisition. He previously served as CFO and manager of Infinity Healthcare Management and is a licensed CPA in New York.

Jeffrey Bajtner, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer, joined the company in 2021. He oversees acquisitions, dispositions, and investor relations. Previously, he held leadership roles at BlitzLake Partners and NorthStar Realty Finance. He is a licensed CPA in Illinois.

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).

Gold has been heralded as a safe haven asset for millennia, revered for its intrinsic value and enduring appeal. The precious metal's allure lies not only in its beauty but in its historical role as a store of wealth during periods of economic uncertainty, inflation, and geopolitical turmoil. So far this year, gold has seen its price surge dramatically, its demand driven by deepening trade tensions between the United States and China, as well as ongoing wars in the Middle East and Russia. Before investing, individuals should carefully assess which form of gold investment, be it bullion, mining stocks or exchange-traded funds, best aligns with their financial goals and tolerance for risk. Most financial experts recommend keeping precious metals exposure at around 10% of one's total portfolio, accounting for holdings like silver as well. With the current discussions rotating on how much higher the price of gold could climb, gold-linked stocks like Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) could be well positioned to enjoy increasing levels of investor interest. 

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).

Lahontan Gold (TSXV: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) announced the completion of its purchase of 27 unpatented lode mining claims, known as the York claims, from Emergent Metals Corp. The York claims adjoin the southeast corner of Lahontan's Santa Fe Mine Project in Nevada's Walker Lane and present significant potential to expand oxide gold and silver resources identified at the York deposit. Recent drilling, including hole YOR25-001R intercepting 89.9 meters grading 0.23 g/t gold, supports mineralization extending onto the new claims. "The gold and silver resource expansion potential, combined with the ability to further lay back the York pit in future operations, makes this a strategic acquisition," said Kimberly Ann, Founder, Chair, CEO, and President. With the addition, Lahontan now controls 506 claims totaling over 2,832 hectares across one of the world's premier gold belts. Terms include a US$10,000 payment, a US$50,000 promissory note, 2 million Lahontan shares to Emergent, and a 1% NSR royalty on the York claims, buyable for up to US$1 million within seven years.

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.
