Company claims 7,637 hectares of new concessions adjacent to its flagship Tahami Project and Aris Mining operation in Segovia, increasing the project footprint from 17,087 to 24,724 hectares and building on recent fieldwork success

Quimbaya Gold Inc. (CSE: QIM,OTC:QIMGF) (OTCQB: QIMGF) (FSE: K05) (‘Quimbaya’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that it has successfully claimed six new mineral concessions totaling 7,637 hectares, strategically expanding its land position within the Segovia gold district of Antioquia, Colombia. The new claims are contiguous with both the Company’s flagship Tahami Project and properties held by Aris Mining, strengthening Quimbaya’s presence in Segovia.

TECHNICAL FACTS SECTION:

The concessions claimed include the following applications:

  • License 510895 (4,147.91 ha)
  • License 511616 (363.73 ha)
  • License 511617 (703.01 ha)
  • License 511680 (43.95 ha)
  • License 511709 (764.03 ha)
  • License 511874 (1,614.77 ha)

These areas were prioritized following detailed structural interpretation, surface mapping of existing claims, and geochemical sampling on the existing Tahami Project that support the thesis of the continuation of gold-bearing systems across the district.

Alexandre P. Boivin, President and CEO, commented:

‘As a well-established player in Colombia, Quimbaya understands how to build a coherent and strategic exploration portfolio. This latest expansion is a natural continuation of our technical work on the ground and reinforces our long-term commitment to value creation through disciplined land positioning.’

Ricardo Sierra, VP Exploration, commented:

‘The additional ground provides valuable extensions to areas we have been actively exploring. Based on preliminary geological observations and our structural interpretation of the district, we see strong potential for continuity of mineralized systems within these newly claimed areas. These claims are an important step as we broaden our exploration focus across the Tahami Project.’

STRATEGIC POSITIONING

The expansion brings Quimbaya’s total land holdings at Tahami to 24,724 significantly enhancing the project’s scale and continuity. The new claims align with known mineralized corridors related to the Segovia vein system and emerging porphyry targets. This additional footprint allows the Company to better control district-scale exploration while maintaining proximity to high-grade production centers.

The Company will continue to refine its regional targeting and prioritize areas for follow-up work in Q4 2025. This expansion aligns with Quimbaya’s broader strategy of building a high-impact, district-scale portfolio within Colombia’s most prolific gold regions.

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG)(OTCQB:LGCXF)(FSE:Y2F) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Lahontan’) is pleased to announce that the Company has completed the Purchase (the ‘Purchase‘) of 27 unpatented lode mining claims (the ‘York claims‘) from Emergent Metals Corp (‘Emergent‘). The York claims are contiguous with the southeast corner of the Santa Fe Mine Project and provide a compelling opportunity to significantly expand oxide gold and silver mineral resources previously defined at the York deposit*. Modeling of drill data during the mineral resource estimation process suggests that gold and silver mineralization likely extends onto the York claims. This targeting concept was in part validated by Lahontan’s recent drilling campaign where reverse-circulation drill hole YOR25-001R cut 89.9 metres (45.7 – 135.6m) grading 0.23 g/t gold (please see Lahontan Gold News Release dated September 2, 2025). The Company is currently planning additional drilling at the York target area for this Fall. With the addition of the York claims, the Company now owns or controls 415 unpatented lode mining claims, 67 unpatented millsite claims, and 24 patented lode mining claims encompassing over 2,832 ha or 28.3 km2 of mineral rights in one of the World’s premier gold belts: Nevada’s Walker Lane.

Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Founder, Chair, CEO, and President commented: ‘Lahontan is excited to have completed the Purchase of the York claims. The gold and silver resource expansion potential, combined with the ability to further layback the York pit in potential future mining operations, makes the Purchase a strategic acquisition for the Company. Lahontan now controls a district-scale land package that, despite prolific past production and the completion of over 1,200 drill holes, remains largely unexplored with multiple targets for resource expansion and new discoveries.’

Terms of the Purchase include:

  • Lahontan has paid Emergent’s U.S. subsidiary, Golden Arrow Mining Corporation (‘GAMC‘), a sum of US$10,000.
  • Lahontan has issued 2,000,000 common shares of Lahontan Gold Corp. to Emergent.
  • GAMC will facilitate the transfer of the York Claims to Lahontan or its designee, to be completed within 30 days of today’s date.
  • As part of the transfer, Lahontan has granted GAMC a 1% NSR royalty (the ‘Royalty‘) on the York Claims. At any time before the third anniversary of the Agreement, Lahontan may purchase the Royalty for US$500,000. After the third and before the seventh anniversary of the Agreement, Lahontan may purchase the Royalty for US$1,000,000.

A newly released State of CleanAI report from the Toronto-based CleanAI Initiative delivers a compelling snapshot of a sector quietly revolutionizing the clean economy transition. This sector is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to climate solutions, collectively known as cleanAI.

The report points to a niche subsector that merges AI and sustainability moving rapidly from niche to mainstream, with venture capital funding surpassing US$50 billion since 2020.

This milestone is particularly notable given that the broader cleantech sector has experienced a slowdown. Instead, cleanAI shows robust growth, accounting for 10 percent of global AI venture funding.

The United States leads by a significant margin, accounting for roughly 60 percent of total investments at over US$30 billion during the time measured. Sweden, Germany, China and Canada follow with investment totals ranging between US$2 billion and US$5 billion.

For Canadian investors and innovators, cleanAI represents a substantial area of growth, with over 155 deals to date indicating a vibrant and expanding market.

The forecast is equally optimistic. CleanAI investments are on pace to surpass US$60 billion by 2026, signaling increasing investor confidence in AI’s role as a force multiplier for climate action. These markets represent multi-trillion-dollar opportunities extending over decades, where AI not only facilitates efficiencies but can also unlock entirely new pathways for sustainability.

The scope and impact of cleanAI technologies

The report identifies six main cleanAI application sectors:

  • Energy and Power, using AI to optimize renewables, grid flexibility, storage and green hydrogen.
  • Materials and Chemicals, featuring AI for process optimization, material discovery, carbon-to-fuel and R&D. This was projected to be the fastest-growing category.
  • Agriculture and Food, using AI to boost sustainable yields through regenerative agriculture, soil carbon measurement, biofertilizers and plant-based protein.
  • Transportation and Logistics, optimizing EV fleets, shipping, charging infrastructure and sustainable sourcing through AI.
  • Resources and Environmental Management, improving carbon capture, water efficiency, environmental quantification, traceability and the circular economy.
  • Waste and Recycling, using emerging AI solutions for smart sorting, reuse monitoring, and traceability, aim to increase recycling and reduce landfills.

Investment trends: Energy power leads, materials and chemicals rising

The report found that energy and power technologies dominate, garnering about 51 percent of total cleanAI investments year-to-date in 2025, driven by pressing decarbonization needs and the maturity of AI-enabled grid and energy solutions.

Materials and chemicals applications represent the fastest-growing portion of the investment pie, capturing investor interest through advancements in industrial efficiency and materials science enhanced by AI.

The report notes that 2025 has already been marked by several mega-deals, particularly in energy, power and materials chemicals.

Conversely, agriculture and food have seen a decline from their 2021 peak in funding, while the waste and recycling segment is just beginning to attract meaningful venture capital.

Notably, about 30 percent of investors participating in these rounds are corporate venture capital arms, such as Toshiba (TYO:6502), Mitsubishi (OTC Pink:MIMTF) and Samsung (HKEX:2814).

Challenges and key themes

Despite the progress, the report highlights several challenges for scaling cleanAI. A top concern is the increasing energy consumption of AI technologies themselves, which could counteract their climate benefits if not managed carefully.

However, the potential net gains from AI-driven efficiency improvements across sectors suggest the overall climate impact of cleanAI remains very positive.

Another major barrier is “siloed expertise”, meaning that few investors and innovators possess the combined skill set that marries deep AI knowledge with climate science. The authors note tht this limits capital flows and impedes cross-domain collaboration, underlining the need for integrated approaches to innovation in this space.

The rapid evolution of AI tools adds complexity to the cleanAI market, making strategic insight and careful navigation essential for investors and companies alike.

The future: mainstreaming cleanAI

The CleanAI Initiative’s report portrays a sector at a point where momentum from venture capital, corporate partnerships, and technology converge to accelerate the transition to a clean economy.

For investors, cleanAI offers multi-layered opportunities, from early-stage startups to corporate venture capital targeting strategic growth. The multi-trillion-dollar markets implicated suggest that CleanAI could continue to be a critical component of investment strategies focused on sustainability and technology leadership.

For investors seeking to align returns with impact, cleanAI offers a compelling and increasingly accessible frontier.

About the JD Project

The JD Project is located in the Toodoggone mining district in north-central British Columbia, a highly prospective deposit-rich mineral trend. The project covers an area of over 15,000 hectares and is in close proximity to active exploration and development projects, such as Thesis Gold’s Lawyers and Ranch projects, TDG Gold’s Baker-Shasta projects, Amarc Resource’s AuRORA project, Centerra’s Gold’s Kemess East and Underground projects, as well as the past-producing Kemess open pit copper-gold mine.

The project is 450 kilometres northwest of the city of Prince George, and 25 kilometres north of the Sturdee airstrip. It is proximal to existing infrastructure in place to support the past-producing Kemess mine, including roads and a hydroelectric power line.

The JD Project is in a favourable geological environment characterized by both high-grade epithermal gold and silver mineralization, as well as porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization. Some historical exploration, including drilling, geochemistry and geophysics, has been carried out on the property, however the project area is largely underexplored.

Biotech is a dynamic industry that is driving scientific advances and innovation in healthcare. In Canada, the biotech sector is home to companies pursuing cutting-edge therapies and medical technologies.

Read on to learn what’s been driving these Canadian biotech firms.

1. Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals (TSX:EPRX)

Year-on-year gain: 141.23 percent
Market cap: C$410.85 million
Share price: C$8.25

Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals is developing clinical candidates that employ its DiffuSphere technology, which delivers treatments to the targeted tissues.

The company’s candidates are currently EP-104GI for eosinophilic esophagitis and EP-104IAR for knee osteoarthritis, and it is exploring the use of its technology for other active compounds as well.

Eupraxia added EP-104GI to its pipeline through its acquisition of EpiPharma Therapeutics in late 2023. The company has continued to advance the treatment through clinical trials in 2025 and released multiple rounds of positive data from its Phase 1b/2a trial cohorts.

In July, Eupraxia dosed its first patient after advancing its investigation to Phase 2b trials based on safety and efficacy data from the earlier Phase 2a patient cohorts. Top-line results from the Phase 2b study are anticipated in the second half of 2026.

In September, the company shared data from the highest-dose cohort of the still ongoing Phase 1b/2a trials, reporting that the group saw the largest improvements so far.

2. Bright Minds Biosciences (CSE:DRUG)

Year-on-year gain: 103.17 percent
Market cap: C$683.67 million
Share price: C$92.95

Bright Minds Biosciences is developing novel serotonin agonists targeting neurocircuit abnormalities linked to neuropsychiatric disorders and epilepsy, designing next-generation treatments that aim to retain the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics while minimizing side effects.

Its lead candidate, BMB-101, a selective 5-HT2C receptor agonist, has shown encouraging preclinical efficacy by stopping seizures in an epilepsy mouse model, evaluated jointly with Firefly Neuroscience (NASDAQ:AIFF).

The company’s stock surged nearly 1,500 percent in October 2024 following H. Lundbeck’s acquisition announcement of a competitor focused on similar targets. Strengthening its epilepsy expertise, Bright Minds expanded its scientific advisory board in early 2025 by adding five leaders in the field.

Ongoing clinical progress and strategic growth initiatives position Bright Minds as a promising contender in the neuropsychiatric treatment landscape.

3. Hemostemix (TSXV:HEM)

Year-on-year gain: 31.25 percent
Market cap: C$18.40 million
Share price: C$0.11

Hemostemix is a clinical-stage biotech company focused on developing autologous stem cell therapies, meaning the treatments use a patient’s own cells to theoretically enhance safety and efficacy.

Its main product, ACP-01, is an autologous cell therapy designed to promote tissue repair and regeneration in areas affected by diseases, including a range of heart diseases.

The company announced its first advanced sales orders for ACP-01 in Q1 2025 and has been working to expand internationally and attract new investment.

Hemostemix secured the regulatory green light for commercial sales in Florida after the state passed Senate Bill 1768. The bill creates a framework in which healthcare providers can administer stem cell therapies that had not yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but meet the bill’s guidelines.

The company now offers commercial ACP-01 treatments for ischemic pain in the state under the name VesCell, with sales forecasted to reach C$22.5 million in 2026. Operational plans target cash flow positivity by Q4 2026, supported by a growing physician network and commercial pipeline.

Additionally, Hemostemix is currently collaborating with Firefly Neuroscience on a Phase 1 clinical trial of ACP-01 for vascular dementia.

4. NervGen (TSXV:NGEN)

Year-on-year gain: 79.92 percent
Market cap: C$300.97 million
Share price: C$4.39

NervGen is a clinical-stage Canadian biotechnology company that focuses on developing innovative treatments to enable the nervous system to repair itself following damage from injury or disease.

The company’s core technology targets a mechanism that hinders nervous system repair. When the nervous system is damaged, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG) form a “scar.” Initially, CSPGs help contain damage, but their long-term interaction with the PTPσ receptor inhibits repair.

NervGen’s lead drug candidate, NVG-291, is designed to relieve these inhibitory effects to promote nervous system repair. It received fast-track designation from the US FDA.

NervGen is advancing NVG-291 in a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial for spinal cord injury (SCI) and reported positive data from the chronic cohort in June.

NVG-300, a newer preclinical candidate, is being evaluated for ischemic stroke and SCI.

The American cattle ranching industry is blasting President Donald Trump’s proposal to purchase beef from Argentina in an effort to lower supermarket beef prices.

“This plan only creates chaos at a critical time of the year for American cattle producers, while doing nothing to lower grocery store prices,” Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, said in a statement Monday.

Wyoming-based cattle operation Meriwether Farms addressed Trump directly in a social media post Monday.

“We love you and support you — but your suggestion to buy beef from Argentina to stabilize beef prices would be an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher,” the farm wrote on X.

By midday Tuesday, the post had already received 4 million views. A representative for Meriwether Farms did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump floated purchasing beef from the South American nation Sunday aboard Air Force One to push down U.S. beef prices by increasing the overall supply.

‘We would buy some beef from Argentina,’ he told reporters, ‘If we do that, that will bring our beef prices down.’

Beef prices have hit record highs this year, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, fueled in part by depleted herd counts and steady demand from U.S. consumers.
