D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS)

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

President Donald Trump has ordered federal departments to halt the use of AI tools developed by Anthropic, escalating a dispute between the White House and the fast-growing technology firm. In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump said he would instruct all government agencies to stop working with the company’s systems. “We do not need it, we do not want it,” he wrote, adding that the administration would no longer conduct business with the firm. The confrontation stems from Anthropic’s refusal to grant the U.S. military broad access to its AI models. The company, led by chief executive Dario Amodei, declined to agree to terms that would allow unrestricted use of its technology by the Pentagon. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded by declaring the company a “supply chain risk,” a designation that could bar contractors tied to the military from engaging in commercial activity with the firm. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed support for Amodei in an internal memo, saying his company maintains similar boundaries regarding military use of its models. Altman later confirmed that OpenAI had secured an agreement with the Defense Department to deploy its systems on classified cloud networks, with restrictions against unlawful applications such as domestic surveillance or offensive autonomous weapons. Major technology developers like D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) could be concerned by this development that the federal government can quickly become hostile to firms that insist on their products being used in specific ways and not indiscriminately simply because a contract has been issued.

• Forward Industries is focused on building and managing the worlds largest Solana (SOL) treasury, with a strategy that revolves around acquiring SOL and deploying it through various on-chain activities.
• FWDI recently finished the company’s first full reporting period under this new strategy and recently reported the company’s 2026 fiscal Q1 operating and financial results.
• The company has reached several key milestones and accomplishments recently, from expanding how the company participates on the Solana blockchain, to testing a proprietary automated market maker, and more.

Forward Industries (NASDAQ: FWDI) , a Solana treasury company, recently finished the company’s first full reporting period as the world’s largest Solana treasury. In a recent announcement of the company’s fiscal first quarter 2026 operating and financial results, FWDI shared updates about the company, as well as detailing milestones and future plans ( https://ibn.fm/RcNVx ).

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

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

Forward Industries is headquartered in New York.

Solana Treasury Operations

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

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

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

Market Opportunity

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

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

Leadership Team

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

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

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

CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP)

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

Researchers at Keck Medicine, University of Southern California (USC) have discovered that combining immunotherapy with laser heat therapy could significantly extend the survival of individuals diagnosed with deadly brain cancers. Astrocytoma, which includes cancers like glioblastoma, grows aggressively and usually recurs after patients have undergone surgery to remove the tumors. This makes the cancer difficult to treat, and patients rarely survive for more than 5 months once diagnosed with high-grade astrocytoma. Immunotherapies, treatments that leverage the body’s immune system to fight cancer, work remarkably well in addressing cancers found in other body parts. However, these treatments exhibit dismal results when used against brain cancers. This is because the blood-brain barrier (BBB) blocks not just cancer treatments and harmful substances but also immune cells from reaching the brain. The Keck researchers sought a way to allow immunotherapy into the brain so that the T-cells can attack the cancer. This combination treatment was well tolerated by the patients and offers hope to those afflicted by these deadly tumors, especially patients in the advanced stages of the cancer with minimal treatment options that can extend survival meaningfully. Additional studies using larger populations will need to be conducted to provide further proof of the efficacy and safety of this approach. However, the current findings indicate that this combination therapy could be a game-changer in using check-point inhibitors to treat brain cancers. Entities like CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) that are engaged in developing medications indicated for various primary and metastatic brain cancers could find this USC study of great interest since it opens the door to making existing treatments useful in malignancies that had so far been unresponsive to these therapies. 

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).

Equity research reports often serve as important barometers of shifting sentiment, offering investors detailed analysis of a company’s strategy, risks and growth potential. In a new research note, Joseph Gunnar & Co. upgraded HeartBeam (NASDAQ: BEAT) from Hold to Buy and raised its 12-month price target to $4 from $1, citing regulatory progress and the company’s transition toward commercialization. A medical tech company, HeartBeam will introduce its FDA-cleared cable-free, synthesized 12-lead ECG system designed to deliver clinical-grade cardiac insights for arrhythmia assessment in a portable format, and the upgrade reflects growing confidence in the company’s commercial launch strategy and long-term opportunity.

HeartBeam Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT) is a medical technology company pioneering a new approach to cardiac care by delivering hospital-grade electrocardiogram (ECG) insights outside traditional clinical settings. Its proprietary platform supports a scalable app-based solution for real-time heart monitoring.

The company’s mission is to empower both patients and physicians with actionable cardiac data wherever symptoms begin, addressing a critical gap in the first hours of cardiac events. Through its connected cardiac care ecosystem, HeartBeam is establishing a new model for remote monitoring that deepens patient engagement and delivers more actionable insights for physicians. This approach is designed to obtain early diagnosis which could reduce time to treatment, improve outcomes, and lower costs across the healthcare continuum.

HeartBeam’s system aims to bring clinical-grade cardiac assessment into the home. HeartBeam is preparing for commercial launch as its 12-lead ECG synthesis software undergoes regulatory review, building on prior clearance of its 3D ECG system for arrhythmia assessment. The company plans to leverage its unique longitudinal ECG dataset and deep learning algorithms to advance predictive capabilities in the future.

HeartBeam is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.

Products

HeartBeam’s flagship innovation is its credit card-sized, cable-free ECG device that collects heart signals in three non-coplanar dimensions and synthesizes a 12-lead ECG. Cleared by the FDA in December 2024 for arrhythmia assessment, the HeartBeam System enables patients to capture high-fidelity heart data during symptomatic episodes, even outside a clinical environment.

The company’s pending 12-lead ECG synthesis software, developed from the same 3D signal acquisition, successfully met clinical endpoints in the VALID-ECG study and is currently under FDA review for arrhythmia assessment. This software combined with an on-demand cardiologist reader service is expected to form the backbone of HeartBeam’s commercial launch strategy, providing patients with access to a synthesized 12-lead ECG outside of the traditional hospital setting and enabling physician interpretation of patient ECGs from anywhere.

From the core, the team is building an ecosystem that includes integration with wearables, automated arrhythmia assessments, AI-driven wellness features, community features and trending insights. The ecosystem is intended to drive adoption and increase the overall value of the HeartBeam System.

Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Analytics

To enhance its diagnostic capabilities, HeartBeam is developing AI-powered arrhythmia detection algorithms to be validated in collaboration with Mount Sinai Heart. In early testing, these deep learning algorithms achieved diagnostic accuracy comparable to standard 12-lead ECGs when classifying atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and sinus rhythm.

Additionally, HeartBeam’s AI engine has the potential to transform routine monitoring into predictive power in the future. The company’s platform enables frequent readings, building a unique longitudinal ECG dataset unique that no one else offers. By leveraging deep learning on the repeated measurements, there is an opportunity to develop predictive capabilities, such as screening for hidden cardiac conditions and forecasting risk of future events. The unique longitudinal dataset will create a defensible data moat as the company continues to advance its AI program.

Market Opportunity

HeartBeam is targeting a large unmet need in cardiac care by delivering hospital-grade ECG diagnostics to patients outside of traditional healthcare settings. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, yet most cardiac events occur at home, where standard 12-lead ECGs are not available, leading to costly delays in diagnosis and treatment. HeartBeam’s FDA-cleared 3D ECG technology is designed to close this critical gap with on-demand, remote diagnostic capabilities.

The company’s initial commercialization strategy focuses on two distinct U.S. entry markets. The first includes approximately 500,000 elevated-risk patients in concierge care settings, representing a $250 million to $500 million annual revenue opportunity. The second addresses a larger direct-pay segment of 2.6 million elevated-risk individuals, with potential revenues of $1.3 billion to $2.6 billion annually. Future expansion may include reimbursement-driven pathways through Medicare Advantage, providers, and payer partnerships.

HeartBeam anticipates annual subscription pricing between $500 and $1,000 per patient, with roughly 50% gross margins on device costs and 70%+ on recurring revenue. Based on a model using five U.S. regions, each with an estimated 75,000 eligible patients, HeartBeam projects that just 10% adoption would generate approximately $20 million in gross profit—enough to reach cash flow break-even under current pricing and margin assumptions. Over time, the company’s longitudinal ECG dataset and predictive AI capabilities are expected to deliver additional value to healthcare systems, research institutions, and life science partners.

MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF).

Following coordinated military strikes by Israel and the United States on Iran, fears of a significant disruption to Middle Eastern oil supplies have heightened, with some arguing that extreme outcomes may push the global economy into recession. Iran, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries since its inception more than six decades ago, ranks as the 4th biggest producer of oil globally. At the start of this year, the Middle-Eastern country was producing slightly above 3 million barrels of oil per day.  For years, energy markets have largely discounted the possibility of a serious supply interruption in the region. However, former White House energy adviser and current head of Rapidan EnergyBob McNally, warns that traders may be underestimating the risks posed by potential Iranian retaliation. According to McNally, oil futures could jump by about $7 per barrel when markets reopen, reflecting a reassessment of geopolitical risk. Recent figures show that on Friday, over 20 million barrels of crude were loaded for export from producers like Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Iraq. This comes as reports show that some vessels have altered their routes to avoid passing through the strait. In the event of a closure, most of the world’s spare oil production capacity would be prevented from reaching global markets. This includes roughly 20% of global liquefied natural gas exports which transit the strait and would be difficult to replace elsewhere. McNally posits that such a scenario could spark widespread stockpiling, particularly among Asian importers, as nations compete aggressively for limited supplies. This, he argued, could potentially create intense bidding wars in energy markets. The U.S.-led attacks on Iran and their potential for disruption of global oil markets make a strong case for countries to invest in domestically sourced energy alternatives like geologic hydrogen. As geopolitical tensions rise, companies like Max Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF) could see increasing investor interest in natural hydrogen that can address the energy needs of markets looking to move away from overreliance on imported oil. 

MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF) is a Canadian mineral exploration company pioneering the development of natural hydrogen as a potential new primary energy source. As a first mover in this emerging sector, the company has assembled North America’s largest permitted land package targeting naturally occurring, emissions-free hydrogen accumulations in the earth’s subsurface.

MAX Power plans to commence Canada’s first dedicated deep drilling program for natural hydrogen in November 2025, starting on the 200-km-long Genesis Trend in southern Saskatchewan, with the goal of converting a discovery into the world’s first commercial natural hydrogen venture in 2026.

Backed by institutional partnerships and a highly experienced technical team, MAX Power continues to build a globally recognized brand in the natural hydrogen sector. Its massive land package in Saskatchewan currently comprises 1.3 million permitted acres with another 5.7 million acres under application.

Saskatchewan, a jurisdiction recognized for its supportive regulatory environment and clean energy innovation, features North America’s most advanced policy framework for the exploration and development of natural hydrogen. The province is also known for its spectacular resource endowment as the world’s leading potash provider, the top high-grade uranium producer in the world, and Canada’s second-largest oil producer. Saskatchewan is also Canada’s leader in helium production, geothermal energy and carbon capture.

The company’s head offices are in Saskatchewan’s two largest cities, Saskatoon and Regina.

Projects

Natural Hydrogen (Saskatchewan)

MAX Power holds multiple large land packages across Saskatchewan prospective for deposits of natural hydrogen, highlighted by the 200-km-long Genesis Trend and the 75-km-wide Grasslands Project.

Genesis features easy road, rail and power access and a proposed hydrogen hub on its eastern side where there is an abundance of potential end-users for natural hydrogen. Drilling is set to begin in early November 2025 at the Lawson target situated in the heart of Genesis. Canada’s first deep well for natural hydrogen is specifically designed to test a complete five-element hydrogen system interpreted to exist at Lawson: source rocks, migration pathways, reservoirs, seals, and traps. Data from vintage and proprietary 2D seismic, gravity and magnetic surveys, and subsurface mapping, among other geological and geophysical information, support the prospectivity of Lawson which lies adjacent to an extensive regional “Salt Barrier” offering excellent seal and trap conditions.

The Genesis Trend’s scalability is further demonstrated by the recent identification of the Lucky Lake target, approximately 50 km northwest of Lawson and one of at least 20 Lawson “look-a-likes” that is being investigated along the trend. Early interpretation suggests serpentinized rocks and structural features favorable for hydrogen generation exist at Lucky Lake.

At Grasslands, geologists are excited about a broad area in the vicinity of a well (“Climax”) near the U.S. border that was drilled a few years ago and inadvertently resulted in Canada’s first known deep subsurface occurrence of natural hydrogen, associated with a rare rock assemblage geologists refer to as “exotic terrane”. Permits covering an area stretching 75 km east-west and up to 10 km north-south were acquired by MAX Power next to this discovery, amplifying the company’s first-mover advantage. Adjacent to three sides of Grasslands are producing helium wells owned by privately-held North American Helium, demonstrating that this under-explored area of the province is highly prospective for clean gas. Drilling of a target at Grasslands is expected during Q1 2026.

Other MAX Power land packages are Rider 1, 2 and 3 in the southeast part of the province, and Choiceland in the north-central part of the province.

To enhance scientific rigor and accelerate development, MAX Power has established a multi-year strategic collaboration with the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC), a globally recognized leader in subsurface energy research based in Regina, Saskatchewan. This partnership complements the company’s relocation to Innovation Saskatchewan’s R+T Parks in Saskatoon and Regina, placing its technical and executive teams at the heart of the province’s academic, regulatory, and infrastructure ecosystem.

Critical Minerals

MAX Power’s other key asset is its Wilcox Lithium Project in mining-friendly Cochise County in southeast Arizona where first-ever diamond drilling in late 2023/early 2024 confirmed the discovery of near-surface lithium-rich clays over a broad area of the Willcox Playa. MAX Power’s property occurs within a nearly 4,000-acre corridor adjacent to U.S. Department of Defense land, and benefits from direct access through roads, rail and power infrastructure. The discovery was made just as lithium entered its final price downturn and is now being intensely revisited by the company in light of the turnaround in lithium and an emphasis on critical mineral resource development in the United States under the Trump administration.

Market Opportunity

According to company materials, the global hydrogen market is valued at approximately $250 billion and is expected to surpass $400 billion by 2030. Supporting this outlook, a study published in Science Advances (Dec. 2024) estimates that in-place natural hydrogen resources could meet global net-zero carbon goals for roughly 200 years. Closer to home, a feasibility study by the Transition Accelerator (April 2024) projects that the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor (RMJIC) in Saskatchewan could support a C$708 million annual hydrogen market, with province-wide demand reaching as high as C$2.7 billion per year.

These projections underscore a compelling opportunity to establish a new energy economy centered around natural hydrogen—a low-cost, low-emission, and potentially naturally replenishing resource. MAX Power is well-positioned to lead this effort with proximity to infrastructure, favorable geology, and increasing institutional support.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is a Canadian exploration and development company advancing the district-scale Swanson Gold Project in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt and progressing toward the near-term restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill. The company’s strategy centers on consolidating strategic land packages—highlighted by its flagship Swanson Gold Project, a 160 km² district-scale property that includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. The company is leveraging its 100%-owned, fully permitted and recently refurbished Beacon Gold Mill to transition from explorer to near-term gold producer—a key inflection point that typically triggers a market re-rating, further bolstered by current rising gold market prices. By processing material from Swanson and offering custom milling to regional projects, LaFleur aims to generate cash flow with minimal capital outlay, targeting annual gold production of up to 15,000 to 20,000 ounces by early 2026.

LaFleur’s vision is to evolve into an intermediate gold producer by capitalizing on strong market conditions and Québec’s rich mining infrastructure. The location, in the world-class Abitibi Gold Belt, and its infrastructure advantage, positions LaFleur for regional consolidation, strategic partnerships, or acquisition interest. Its mission emphasizes efficient value creation through methodical exploration, low-cost asset advancement, and opportunistic acquisitions—including land and deposits from Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining.

Québec ranks among the world’s top mining jurisdictions, offering access to flow-through capital and regulatory stability. LaFleur’s integrated strategy—combining exploration at Swanson, a permitted mill at Beacon, and potential custom milling agreements—supports a streamlined path to near-term production.

LaFleur Minerals is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Projects

LaFleur Minerals’ operations focus on two strategically located assets in the Abitibi Gold Belt: the Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill and Mine. These projects leverage the region’s world-class mining infrastructure and high-grade gold potential to drive the company’s transition to production.

Swanson Gold Project

The Swanson Gold Project spans 16,600 hectares and hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits along a major structural break in the Abitibi Gold Belt. The 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Swanson deposit outlines 123,400 oz of gold in Indicated category (2.1 million tonnes at 1.8 g/t) and 64,500 oz in Inferred category (872,000 tonnes at 2.3 g/t). Located 66 km north of Val-d’Or, the Project is accessible by road and rail and benefits from more than 36,000 meters of historical drilling, along with existing infrastructure including an 80-meter decline portal.

Recent work—including airborne magnetics, soil sampling, and Induced Polarization surveys—has identified multiple high-priority targets and resulted in several high-grade gold assay results, including a grab sample grading 11.71 g/t Au at Jolin, which points to significant upside as the Company prepares to test multiple new zones.

LaFleur has defined over 50 drill targets at Swanson and nearby prospects (Bartec, Jolin, Marimac) and is completing a minimum 5,000-metre diamond drilling beginning in June 2025. LaFleur Minerals has also initiated permitting for a 100,000-tonne surface bulk sample averaging 1.89 g/t Au, which it plans to process at the Beacon Gold Mill as part of a near-term production strategy.

Beacon Gold Mill

LaFleur’s 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill is a fully refurbished and permitted mill and tailings storage facility capable of processing 750 tonnes per day (tpd), with potential expansion to 1,800 tpd, with access to numerous nearby gold deposits that could be prime sources of ore. Located only 60 km from Swanson, it underwent a $20 million upgrade by Monarch Mining in 2022 and has been under care and maintenance since early 2023. LaFleur is finalizing a C$5-6 million restart plan, ramping up production by late 2025 into early 2026, processing Swanson mineralized material and assessing custom milling opportunities for regional deposits, creating multiple potential revenue streams.

The Beacon Gold Mill is a de-risked, proven asset that benefits from existing infrastructure, including access to roads, power, and skilled labor, and further enhances the overall value proposition of LaFleur by providing a clear path to production and potential revenue-generation.

Market Opportunity

LaFleur Minerals is targeting the gold mining and processing market in Québec’s Abitibi Gold Belt, one of the world’s most productive gold regions. Its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill, with a 750 tpd capacity and authorization to process 1.8 million tonnes of tailings, is strategically positioned to handle material from LaFleur’s Swanson Gold Project and to offer custom milling for nearby deposits such as Granada Gold. The company projects annual production of over 30,000 ounces of gold once in full production, with potential for significant revenue generation based on prevailing market prices.

Global demand for gold remains robust, driven by geopolitical risk, inflation hedging, and central bank accumulation. The World Gold Council forecasts 3-5% annual demand growth through 2030, with average prices expected between $3,200 and $3,500/oz. Within this environment, Québec’s top-tier mining jurisdiction—ranked fifth globally by the Fraser Institute in 2023—offers streamlined permitting and access to flow-through capital. LaFleur’s low-cost Beacon restart (C$5-6 million) and proximity to more than 100 active and historical mines position the company to fill a growing need for small-to-medium scale custom milling.

At Swanson, LaFleur plans to grow its current 187,900-ounce resource toward 1 million ounces through its 2025 drilling program. This hub-and-spoke strategy, leveraging centralized milling and strong local infrastructure, reduces development risk and strengthens LaFleur’s foothold in one of the most attractive gold belts in the world.

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.

Kepler Texatron™

Through wholly owned subsidiary, Kepler Fusion Technologies, the company is developing the Texatron™ aneutronic fusion platform, a compact, pulsed fusion system engineered specifically for commercial and infrastructure-grade deployment. Unlike steady-state fusion concepts that prioritize laboratory demonstration, the Texatron™ operates in controlled cycles designed to support modular scalability, redundancy, and distributed installation across multiple end markets.

The platform is optimized around a Deuterium–Helium-3 fuel pathway that enables direct electrical energy conversion, reducing reliance on traditional steam cycles and minimizing neutron-related material degradation. This design supports a smaller physical footprint and greater flexibility for deployment in grid-constrained or mission-critical environments such as data centers, industrial facilities, defense installations, and remote locations.

Kepler’s commercialization model is structured around a Power-as-a-Service approach under which the company intends to retain ownership of its fusion units and sell electricity to customers under long-term contractual arrangements. This infrastructure-oriented model is designed to align system deployment with predictable, recurring revenue while allowing for fleet-based scaling over time. The platform is supported by a broad and expanding intellectual property estate encompassing reactor architecture, energy conversion systems, control technologies, manufacturing processes, and deployment methodologies.

Market Opportunity

U.S. electricity demand has re-entered a period of sustained growth following nearly two decades of relative stagnation, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. After years in which efficiency gains and structural economic shifts largely offset population and economic growth, electricity consumption has increased meaningfully since 2020 and is forecast to continue rising through at least the middle of the decade.

Recent and projected growth is being driven primarily by the commercial and industrial sectors, with data centers, advanced manufacturing, and other power-intensive operations accounting for a disproportionate share of incremental demand. These segments tend to require continuous, non-intermittent electricity supply, placing increased pressure on existing generation and transmission infrastructure.

This shift underscores a growing need for reliable baseload power sources that can be deployed without extensive new transmission build-out and that align with emissions-reduction objectives. Fusion-based energy systems designed for distributed, infrastructure-grade deployment represent a potential long-term solution for meeting rising demand in environments where reliability, resilience, and scalability are critical.

Leadership Team

Richard Hawkins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has overseen the company’s strategic reset, corporate restructuring, and transition toward an advanced fusion energy platform, with responsibility for governance, capital markets strategy, and long-term corporate development.

Brent Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Kepler Fusion Technologies, brings extensive experience in energy systems and commercialization strategy and leads the development, validation, and deployment roadmap for the Texatron™ fusion platform, as well as Kepler’s intellectual property and operating model.
