Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI).

Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI) , a developer of AI-powered drone imagery solutions for defense and security applications, has been initiated with a Buy rating and $8 price target by Litchfield Hills Research. Analyst Theodore R. O'Neill cited SPAI's patented mine detection technology—proven in Ukraine—as a 21st-century answer to outdated demining methods. The company's SpotlightAI(TM) platform, capable of detecting threats in under 0.2 seconds, operates via cloud or edge computing and has already processed over 1.6 million drone images. The company is further supported by strong intellectual property protections and growing demand from global humanitarian and military efforts.

SPAI's diverse operating units include Safe Pro AI, which develops its proprietary AI analysis engine; Airborne Response, which delivers drone-based critical infrastructure inspection and public safety solutions; and Safe-Pro USA, which manufactures body armor and EOD suits. Customers include Florida Power & Light, Motorola Solutions, and humanitarian organizations in Ukraine. The company is also expected to benefit from the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which allocates $33 billion in federal funding to AI and drone technologies. With forecasted revenue of $12.5 million in 2026 and projected breakeven by year-end, SPAI currently trades at a steep discount to peers, supporting the valuation thesis.

According to O'Neill, SPAI's proprietary AI ecosystem—spotlighting its SPOTD and SpotlightAI platforms—offers hyper-scalable image processing for a wide array of use cases including defense, infrastructure, and agriculture. The $8 target is based on a discounted earnings model that reflects anticipated revenue traction, supported by robust insider ownership (60%) and a unique technology moat. Given the accelerating demand for autonomous surveillance and threat detection tools, Litchfield Hills views SPAI as both undervalued and well-positioned to capture long-term upside across government and commercial markets.

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF).

finding strong domestic sources for essential materials.

A possible roadmap comes down to five mutually reinforcing steps, with Ucore Rare Metals' RapidSX(TM) technology playing a key role in the process.

The company's goal is to play a vital role in building a robust and independent rare earth supply chain in North America, says CEO.

The tariff war between the United States and other countries, particularly China, has created a greater awareness of the tenuous U.S. position in terms of its reliance on China for essential materials for key products. That became even clearer earlier this year when China imposed export licensing restrictions on seven medium and heavy rare-earth elements — specifically samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium — as retaliation for U.S. tariffs, significantly tightening the supply of elements critical for aerospace, defense and other industries (https://ibn.fm/HYY5u).

China's move exposed how quickly one regulatory dial, controlled half a world away, can grind American production to a halt — and how important it is that the United States focus on finding strong domestic sources for essential materials. Enter Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF), a North America–based uranium mining and exploration company.

The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) an $18.4 million grant to accelerate its RapidSX(TM) rare-earth separation technology at the Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex ("SMC"), underscoring a decisive shift toward reshoring critical minerals production. With China currently controlling roughly 80% of global rare-earth refining, the SMC project (aided by Louisiana's $15 million incentive package) aims to produce 2,000 tonnes of rare-earth oxides annually by late 2024 and expand to 7,500 tonnes by 2027. The facility's efficient RapidSX(TM) process delivers heavy rare-earth elements in days from a smaller footprint, directly challenging Chinese dominance and bolstering U.S. supply chain resilience.

Beyond its industrial promise, the SMC is a geopolitical game-changer as it's strategically positioned at England Airpark near Gulf Coast ports. It not only strengthens critical defense supply chains, powering everything from F35 engines to precision-guided weapons, but also delivers economic dividends by creating 100 direct jobs and nearly 300 ancillary roles in central Louisiana. For investors, this marks a rare alignment of federal, state, and military backing behind a domestic rare-earth venture.

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.

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (OTCQX: UURAF), closed Thursday's trading session at $1.133, up 3%, on 727,738 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 590,610 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.33/$1.64.

Brera Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: BREA)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Brera Holdings PLC(NASDAQ: BREA).

Family offices, privately held wealth management firms for affluent families, are increasingly investing in sports franchises, seeing them as long-term assets with legacy-building potential.

Brera Holdings attracted eight family offices in its recent Series A Preferred Offering, reflecting growing institutional interest, but Brera also offers retail investors access to pro sports – once the domain of billionaires and celebrities.

With a Nasdaq listing, Brera is the first multi-club operator to offer public equity exposure to professional football clubs.

Brera's Juve Stabia club saw a 245% increase in market value over the 2024–25 season, driven by competitive performance.

Brera Holdings (NASDAQ: BREA) , an Ireland-based international holding company focused on expanding its global portfolio of men's and women's sports clubs through a multi-club ownership ("MCO") strategy, is tapping two converging trends reshaping professional sports ownership: the influx of capital from private family offices and the rising demand for democratized access to sports as an asset class.

Brera Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: BREA) is an Ireland-based, international holding company focused on expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s sports clubs through a multi-club ownership approach. The company capitalizes on opportunities to earn tournament prizes, secure sponsorships, collect transfer fees, provide professional sports consulting services, and enhance the valuation of its clubs.

Brera Holdings builds on the legacy of Brera FC, an international football club (referred to as soccer in the U.S.), that it acquired in July 2022. Established in 2000 and based in Milan, Italy, Brera FC has distinguished itself by cultivating an alternative football legacy. In October 2024, the Internet Marketing Association awarded Brera FC with the Social Impact Through Soccer accolade at its IMPACT 5050 Conference, recognizing the club’s global perspective and positive contributions to society.

The company’s growth strategy focuses on unlocking value from undervalued sports clubs and talent, driving innovation, and generating socially impactful outcomes. Brera Holdings is actively expanding its Global Sports Group, acquiring professional football and other sports clubs in emerging markets such as Africa, Asia, and Europe.

By targeting top-division teams in less mainstream markets, Brera Holdings aims to strengthen its competitive position in regional tournaments, including those organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). These acquisitions are expected to enhance sponsorship revenues and create new growth opportunities.

Leveraging its expertise in capital raising and revenue generation, Brera Holdings also anticipates growing demand for its consulting services, providing advisory support to sports clubs, associations, investors, and others. Brera Holdings is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with additional offices in Milan, Italy.

Sporting Assets

Brera Holdings continues to grow its global sports portfolio with a series of strategic acquisitions and innovations, including the FENIX Trophy Tournament, a pan-European, non-professional football competition. Launched in September 2021 and organized by Brera FC, the tournament has been recognized by UEFA and described by BBC Sport as “the Champions League for amateurs.” In 2023, Brera FC hosted the tournament’s finals at Milan’s iconic San Siro Stadium.

In March 2023, Brera Holdings expanded into Africa by establishing Brera Tchumene FC in Mozambique. Starting in the country’s Second Division League, the team quickly earned promotion to Moçambola, Mozambique’s First Division League, by November 2023.

In April 2023, Brera Holdings further strengthened its European presence by acquiring a 90% stake in Fudbalski Klub Akademija Pandev, a first-division football team in North Macedonia. This acquisition provides access to two major UEFA competitions, solidifying the company’s position in European football.

Brera Holdings’ reach extends beyond football. In July 2023, it acquired majority ownership of UYBA Volley, an Italian Serie A1 women’s professional volleyball team, demonstrating its commitment to diversifying within top-tier sports.

In September 2023, Brera Holdings entered the Mongolian football market by acquiring Bayanzurkh Sporting Ilch FC, a Mongolian National Premier League team. For the 2024 season, the club was rebranded as Brera Ilch FC, further expanding Brera’s global footprint.

In January 2024, Brera Holdings initiated a proactive search for an Italian Serie B football club, aligning with its goal of bringing multi-club ownership opportunities to mass investors through its Nasdaq-listed shares.

In February 2024, the Brera Holdings Advisory Board was established with MLS founder and World Cup director Alan Rothenberg, luxury lifestyle executive Massimo Ferragamo, sports business leaders Paul Tosetti and Marshall Geller, and Italian football icon Giuseppe Rossi.

In June 2024, the North Macedonian women’s football club Tiverija Strumica officially became part of the Brera family with the establishment of a joint-stock company controlled by Brera Holdings called Women’s Football Club Tiverija Brera AD Strumica (“Brera Tiverija”). Brera Tiverija is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brera Strumica FC.

In September 2024 Brera announced that it signed an exclusive letter of intent to acquire an Italian Serie B club (the “LOI” and the “Club”). According to a CFA report published in June 2024, this expected strategic transaction, for an estimated purchase price of $21.6 million, would add first-year annual revenue of $10.8 million to Brera, and that revenue would likely increase by 25% each year for the next three years. The company’s capital valuation, projected the report, would also experience significant appreciation during this period.

In October 2024, Brera was recognized with the 2024 Social Impact Through Soccer Award at IMPACT 5050, an annual event honoring leaders and innovators who significantly impact their industries and communities. This is the second time Brera has won the award.

Market Opportunity

A report from IMARC Group, a global management consulting firm, reveals that the international football market generated approximately $3.3 billion in revenue in 2023, with projections to grow to $4.6 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. Key drivers behind this growth include advancements in digitization, increasing sponsorship and partnership deals between brands and clubs, the rising interest in women’s professional soccer leagues, and the expansion of the e-sports and gaming sector.

In particular, Serie B Italian football clubs seem to present exceptionally attractive investment opportunities. As of September 2024, more than half of these clubs had appreciated between 80-100% in total market value, post-purchase.

As the world’s most-watched and most-played sport, soccer drives significant demand for football-related products and services, contributing to market growth. Broadcasting rights, sponsorships, and endorsement deals are also major revenue sources for clubs and organizations, with an expanding global fanbase generating new opportunities for financial growth, according to the report.

SEGG Media Corp. (NASDAQ: SEGG; LTRYW) is a global sports, entertainment, and gaming company redefining how audiences connect with content through immersive technology and ethical engagement. Formerly known as Lottery.com Inc., the company recently completed a comprehensive corporate transformation, rebranding as SEGG Media (short for Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Media) to reflect its new strategic direction and structural overhaul.

With a mission to fuse real-time experiences, fan-first platforms, and responsible innovation, SEGG Media operates at the intersection of sports, entertainment, and gaming. Its business model is built around three synergistic verticals, each designed to scale globally while delivering meaningful value to fans, partners, and shareholders.

From sim racing and esports to live event streaming and charitable gaming, SEGG Media is building a next-generation platform that redefines how audiences interact with their favorite content and communities.

The company is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.

Portfolio

SEGG Media’s operations are structured across three core verticals: Sports.com, Entertainment, and Lottery.com.

• Sports.com is SEGG’s global hub for immersive sports media, covering sim racing, football, motorsports, and athlete-led content. The vertical includes Sports.com Studios, Sports.com Media, and Nook, each focused on original storytelling and fan-driven experiences. In June 2025, SEGG announced plans to acquire a 51% stake in the sports and technology assets of GXR World to launch the Sports.com Super App, a first-of-its-kind platform combining live streaming, e-commerce, community chat, real-money and fantasy gaming, and sports news. Built on GXR’s tech stack, which already draws over one million monthly active users, the Super App is expected to debut in Q3 2025 with an initial focus on soccer and motorsports.
• The Entertainment pillar includes AI-driven event streaming, music and fashion media, and hybrid live experiences. As part of its acquisition-led growth model, SEGG is advancing a proposed deal to acquire DotCom Ventures Inc., owner of Concerts.com and TicketStub.com, to build out ticketing, event distribution, and direct-to-fan monetization infrastructure. This initiative aligns with SEGG’s five-year plan to unify content, commerce, and fan engagement under one platform, supported by a $100 million financing facility activated in May 2025.
• Lottery.com, SEGG’s ethical gaming division, delivers domestic and international lottery access, iGaming, instant wins, sports betting, charitable gaming through properties such as WinTogether, and syndicated results data to more than 800 publishers through Tinbu. With compliance issues resolved and new operating structures in place, the platform is being relaunched globally through Lottery.com International.

Together, these three verticals enable SEGG Media to unify fragmented fan experiences into a fully integrated global ecosystem—where sports, gaming, content, and commerce converge.

Market Opportunity

The global sports betting industry is undergoing rapid expansion as digital adoption accelerates and new markets open to regulation. According to Grand View Research, the sports betting market was valued at $100.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $187.39 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 11% from 2025 to 2030. This growth is fueled by increased internet penetration, widespread mobile usage, and rising interest in real-time, interactive fan experiences.

Beyond sports betting, SEGG Media also operates in the high-growth arenas of streaming, esports, and AI-powered content delivery. These adjacent markets are seeing double-digit global growth as fans demand more immersive, on-demand, and participatory forms of entertainment. With its diversified platform and strategic positioning across three converging verticals, SEGG Media is built to capitalize on multiple long-term secular trends and unlock scalable revenue opportunities.

Leadership Team

Matthew McGahan, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, joined the company in October 2022. Since then, he has played a central role in stabilizing operations, restructuring the organization, and guiding its rebrand to SEGG Media. McGahan brings a mix of entrepreneurial drive and philanthropic leadership, having founded the UK-based charity Mask Our Heroes during the COVID-19 pandemic and previously built and sold the Harley-Davidson dealership Magic Automotive Group.

Tim Scoffham, CEO of Sports.com Media and Lottery.com International, brings over 20 years of leadership experience across gaming, media, and digital sports entertainment. Appointed following a successful consultancy period, Scoffham now leads SEGG’s global growth strategy for its iGaming and sports media divisions.

Beeline Holdings (NASDAQ: BLNE), a tech-forward real estate platform, has been initiated at Buy by Ladenburg Thalmann with a $4.50 price target. Analyst Glenn G. Mattson cited Beeline's AI-enhanced digital mortgage and title platform as a disruptive force in serving the growing base of digital-first homebuyers with non-traditional income. With new tools like BlinkQC, which automates mortgage quality control, and a 47% stake in AI sales engine MagicBlocks, Beeline is expanding its reach into SaaS and consumer lending automation.

A key growth catalyst is Beeline's novel cash-out equity product, allowing homeowners to sell a portion of their home equity without taking on debt. The innovation is backed by a stablecoin structure and could significantly scale revenue with minimal operational expense. The company recorded its first such transaction in June and expects national rollout in August 2025. Ladenburg projects this offering alone could drive $15 million in revenue by 2026, complementing the company's lending, title, and SaaS segments.

Ladenburg forecasts Beeline's revenue will more than double from $12.3 million in 2025 to $30.6 million in 2026, with EBITDA flipping from a loss of $8.9 million to a positive $7.1 million. The firm sees substantial upside based on Beeline's ability to monetize AI-driven innovations across mortgage origination, equity access, and digital sales. With scalable infrastructure already in place and a fragmented, underserved non-QM borrower market, Beeline is positioned for accelerated growth as interest rates ease and adoption of fintech solutions increases.

Market Opportunity

The U.S. mortgage market is poised for growth in 2025, with total mortgage origination volume expected to increase by 28% to $2.3 trillion, up from $1.79 trillion in 2024. This projection includes a 13% rise in purchase originations to $1.46 trillion.

Within this expanding market, investor lending, particularly through DSCR loans, represents a rapidly growing segment. DSCR loans, which are underwritten based on the income generated by the property rather than the borrower’s personal income, are ideal for real estate investors, particularly those purchasing long-term or short-term rental properties. Beeline has strategically positioned itself in this niche, with over one-third of its volume derived from DSCR products. Through its affiliate referral network and integrations with platforms like Rabbu, the company is actively expanding its market reach in this high-margin category.

Non-agency mortgage issuance, which includes DSCR loans, is projected to reach $160 billion in 2025, a 16% increase from 2024.

SolarBank Corp. (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) (NASDAQ: SUUN)

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

For most of their existence, photovoltaic solar panels have maintained the same form factor: dark, opaque panels that are typically placed on the roof (or the ground) to convert solar energy into electricity. Scientists from Michigan State University have now developed a revolutionary new design that ditches the traditional form factor for a completely new one: transparent panels. Solar panels with this new design could serve the dual function of both window and energy generator, keeping the elements out of buildings while they quietly generate clean energy. Although the idea seems like something you'd see in science fiction, Michigan State University researchers have made it possible through the development of transparent solar windows. The technology was developed by researcher Richard Lunt and his team in 2014 and has gone through several improvements in the decade since. Unlike traditional solar panels, transparent solar windows offer a way to turn everyday surfaces into clean energy sources without changing how buildings look or function. By transforming windows into silent power generators, this innovation could help cities boost renewable energy production without taking up extra space, supporting America's clean energy transition in a smart, unobtrusive way. As these solar windows become the norm, pairing them with stationary energy storage systems from companies like SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) would help families and businesses lower their energy costs in ways that were previously unimaginable.

SolarBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN) (CSE: SUNN) is a premier developer and owner of renewable and clean energy projects, specializing in distributed and community solar initiatives throughout Canada and the United States. The company is committed to advancing the transition to sustainable energy by offering end-to-end services that include project origination, financing structuring, engineering, procurement, construction, and long-term operations and maintenance. SolarBank focuses on delivering innovative energy solutions through solar photovoltaic systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.

Calidi Biotherapeutics Inc. (NYSE American: CLDI)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Calidi Biotherapeutics Inc. (NYSE American: CLDI).

Lung cancer, one of the most common types of cancer, has for a long time been known to largely develop among smokers. However, recent studies have established that around one quarter of people diagnosed with lung cancer has never smoked. This has baffled the scientific community as there was no clear explanation why such a significant proportion of lung cancer patients didn't have a history of smoking. A study has now provided key insights into the factors that could predispose many non-smokers to the development of lung cancer. This study was published in the journal Nature early this month. 

The study, led by Doctor Maria Landi from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and UC San Diego's Doctor Ludmil Alexandrov, focused on exploring the genomic factors evident in lung cancer patients that had never smoked. For their study, the team analyzed the entire genomes of 871 individuals that had never smoked but were diagnosed with lung cancer. There's a lot that hasn't been understood about lung cancer. For example, why is it that more women than men tend to develop lung cancer without a history of smoking? And, why are Asian women more likely to be afflicted with lung cancer even if they have never smoked? Plenty of research needs to be done to unpack all these questions. In the meantime, efforts are being channeled by companies like Calidi Biotherapeutics Inc. (NYSE American: CLDI) to develop effective treatments for lung cancer. This is especially critical because as urbanization and industrialization increase, a lot more non-smokers are likely to develop lung cancer and it could take an even bigger toll on communities than it is already doing. 

Calidi Biotherapeutics Inc. (NYSE American: CLDI) is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company pioneering proprietary technology that empowers the immune system to combat cancer. Calidi’s innovative, off-the-shelf cell-based platforms use allogeneic stem cells to deliver potent oncolytic viruses (OVs) across multiple oncology indications, including high-grade glioma (brain cancers) and solid tumors. In addition, Calidi has presented a breakthrough systemic technology, RTNova, which utilizes an exteracellular enveloped virotherapy. RTNova is pre-clinical and has been extremely well-received by market analysts and large-cap biopharma – opening the door for potential collaboration.

These cell-based platforms are engineered to protect, amplify, and enhance the efficacy of oncolytic viruses, resulting in improved patient safety and potentially advancing treatment outcomes for metastatic disease. By employing a dual approach that combines OV delivery with immune activation, Calidi’s therapies aim to not only treat but potentially prevent the spread of metastatic cancers.

The company’s development pipeline leverages this technology to address pressing needs in cancers such as glioblastoma (brain cancer), metastatic melanoma, triple-negative breast cancer, head & neck cancer, and lung cancer. Calidi’s approach has shown early signals of efficacy and safety, establishing it as a distinctive player in the growing OV market, which is projected to increase significantly in value over the next decade.

Calidi is headquartered in San Diego, California.

Products

Calidi’s product pipeline includes advanced cell-based platforms targeting a variety of oncology indications, each designed to harness the power of oncolytic virotherapy for improved cancer treatment outcomes.

• NeuroNova (CLD-101): A platform designed for treating high-grade gliomas (HGG), NeuroNova employs neuronal stem cells combined with an engineered adenovirus (CRAD-s-Pk7) to selectively target glioma cells. After a successful Phase 1 safety study in newly diagnosed HGG, NeuroNova has now progressed into Phase 1/1b trials for recurrent cases. FDA clearance for a Phase 1b/2 trial at Northwestern University was received in September 2024, with patient enrollment expected to begin in Q1 2025. This trial will utilize multiple-dose intracerebral administration to maximize safety and efficacy in newly diagnosed HGG patients.
• SuperNova (CLD-201): Built on Calidi’s foundational technology, SuperNova utilizes an engineered Vaccinia virus (CAL1) delivered via allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells to target advanced solid tumors, including head & neck, triple-negative breast cancer, and soft tissue sarcomas. Early studies with autologous stem cells demonstrated both safety and promising efficacy, and Calidi plans to begin a Phase 1 trial with multiple dose regimens for SuperNova in the coming months.
• RTNova (CLD-400): Calidi’s systemic delivery platform for lung and metastatic cancers, RTNova employs an extracellular enveloped virotherapy (envRT-01) technology for intravenous (IV) administration, simplifying the treatment process and expanding its potential applications. Currently in preclinical stages, RTNova focuses on demonstrating efficacy and safety through systemic administration. A clinical trial targeting metastatic lung cancer is anticipated for Q2 2026, using a single-arm monotherapy with dose escalation. Calidi has partnered with SIGA Technologies (NASDAQ: SIGA) to support the development of this program.

Market Opportunity

The global oncology drugs market was valued at $201.75 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to $518.25 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 11.3%. The oncolytic virotherapy market in particular is growing rapidly, driven by increasing approval rates and significant unmet needs.

The market for OV treatments is expected to expand from one approved product generating $150 million in the U.S. in 2021 to 6-8 approved therapies generating $2.4 billion by 2030. As a leader in OV technology, Calidi is well-positioned to address these high-demand areas in oncology.

Alongside global trends, the American Cancer Society projects nearly two million new cancer diagnoses in the U.S. in 2024, reflecting a 28% increase since 2010. This underscores the urgent need for novel therapies that not only treat disease progression but also enhance patient quality of life, reinforcing the demand for Calidi’s innovative approaches.

Japanese electronics manufacturer Panasonic is rethinking production timelines for its battery plant in Kansas amidst shifting politics in the U.S. and a decline in battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales. First announced in 2022, the $4 billion De Soto battery production plant was billed as the biggest economic development project in Kansas history. After two years of construction, the 4.7 million-square-foot facility was launched with much aplomb on July 14 in a grand opening that featured a traditional Japanese ceremony for marking new beginnings. Unfortunately, the launch coincides with a period of great upheaval in the American electric vehicle sector. EV sales are on the decline, and the Trump administration's Big Beautiful Bill has made it more expensive to buy an electric car in the U.S. by getting rid of federal tax incentives for new and used electric cars. Tesla, once the darling of America's fledgling electric vehicle industry, is now suffering from major brand damage and diminishing sales. The EV battery production plant expects to employ 4,000 individuals by the end of next year, which will increase Kansas' yearly labor income by more than half a billion dollars and bring about $2.5 billion worth of economic activity annually to Kansas, Governor Laura Kelly says. An extra 4,000 jobs would be created through deals with suppliers and community businesses, with an expected return of $26 for every $1 the state invested into Panasonic through tax incentives. Panasonic isn't the only firm likely to be impacted by the change in federal policy in the U.S. EV makers like Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) now have additional headwinds to navigate in their bid to make their mark upon the auto industry in America and around the world. 

Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) is a Southern California-based automotive company building the next generation of commercial electric vehicles (“EVs”) with United States-based manufacturing located in Tunica, Mississippi.

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

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

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

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

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.
