The MiningNewsWire Podcast

This article has been disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining Corp. and may include a paid advertisement. AINewsWire Editorial Coverage: Artificial intelligence is no longer constrained by software innovation alone. The next major bottleneck in the global AI race is rapidly becoming electricity, as hyperscale data centers consume power at levels few existing grids were designed to support. According to the International Energy Agency, worldwide data-center electricity consumption is projected to roughly double by 2030 to approximately 945 terawatt-hours, while AI-optimized data centers could more than quadruple their power consumption over the same period. In practical terms, compute demand is scaling far faster than new grid capacity can be built. At the same time, global attention is increasingly turning toward geologic hydrogen, a naturally occurring underground energy source that advocates believe could play a major role in the transition away from fossil fuels. Within this rapidly advancing sector, MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) (Profile) has emerged as a leading public natural hydrogen company globally and has already confirmed the first subsurface natural hydrogen system in North America at its Lawson Project in Saskatchewan. As AI data center expansion accelerates global electricity demand, MAX Power is advancing commercial evaluation of natural hydrogen as a potential source of off-grid scalable clean baseload power for next-generation AI and distributed infrastructure systems, while leveraging AI-assisted exploration through its proprietary MAXX LEMI platform. With these efforts, MAX Power joins other companies that are leading the way forward in the AI space, including Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE: TSM). Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice. MAX Power Mining Corp. is now moving beyond initial discovery and into commercial evaluation of what may become one of the world’s earliest scalable natural hydrogen systems. One of the most important developments occurring within the natural hydrogen sector is the transition from isolated geological discoveries toward structured development pathways. MAX Power’s Lawson discovery is increasingly being viewed not as an isolated geological event but as part of a much larger basin-scale system, extending across Saskatchewan’s 475-kilometer Genesis Trend. An important aspect of the Lawson discovery is the presence of unusually strong helium concentrations alongside natural hydrogen. MAX Power is developing MAXX LEMI, the company’s AI-assisted exploration platform designed to improve targeting precision and support scalable natural hydrogen discovery.

IBN Announces Latest Episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast featuring Robert Price, CEO of Greenland Energy Company AUSTIN, Texas, May 19, 2026 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Robert Price, CEO of Greenland Energy Company (NASDAQ: GLND), an energy company focused on Greenland's Jameson Land Basin. To begin the interview, Price discussed Greenland Energy’s recent financing and its fully funded drilling program in the Jameson Land Basin. “We went through a de-SPAC process and just raised $70 million… Our project is fully funded to drill two wells in Greenland. The wells are at 70 degrees latitude — the same latitude as Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, discovered by ARCO in the 60s and 70s. ARCO identified our 2-million-acre position as its number one prospect after Prudhoe Bay and spent over $275 million on seismic programs, building an airport and a seaport, but oil prices cratered and they never drilled the well. We’ve reprocessed that seismic with modern techniques, and our independent engineering report suggests an upside of over 13 billion barrels of oil. We’re drilling our first two wells this year.” Join IBN’s Stuart Smith for a conversation with Robert Price, CEO of Greenland Energy, as he discusses the company’s fully funded Arctic drilling campaign, the geological foundation of the Jameson Land Basin and the operational milestones expected through 2026.

This article has been disseminated on behalf of LaFleur Minerals Inc. and may include a paid advertisement. MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Gold prices have surged to record and near-record levels in recent months as persistent inflation concerns, geopolitical uncertainty and strong central-bank demand continue to drive investor interest in the precious metal. Major financial institutions have raised their outlook for bullion, with some analysts forecasting significantly higher prices over the next few years as global debt levels rise and economic volatility persists. In this environment, gold developers and emerging producers are working to strengthen their asset bases and accelerate projects that can respond to strong market conditions. Among those is LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (Profile), which has taken several notable steps to advance its position within Québec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt. The company recently released a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for its Swanson Gold Project sourcing mineralized material from its nearby gold mill, confirmed strong drilling results that reinforce the deposit’s growth potential and continued advancing refurbishment work at its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill. Together, these developments reflect LaFleur’s strategy of combining exploration success with existing infrastructure as it works toward restarting gold production and strengthening its foothold in a rising gold market. LaFleur joins a strong group of operators in the gold space, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ECR), Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA) and Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE: WPM) (TSE: WPM.CA). LaFleur hits major catalyst with March 2026 positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) on the proposed development of the Swanson Gold Deposit, leveraging the company’s 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill. The PEA shows strong economics with C$101 million NPV (5%), 65% IRR and rapid 1.8‑year payback at a relatively low C$31 million CAPEX, outlining a capital-efficient, low-complexity mine-to-mill development pathway with strategic CN rail access near Val-d’Or, supporting a scalable, high-return gold production profile. Swanson remains the exploration and development engine behind LaFleur’s strategy, reinforced by a refurbished gold mill only 60 kilometers away about to restart production. While the PEA and drilling program were advancing the geological and economic case, LaFleur was also progressing toward restarting gold pour at its Beacon Gold Mill. Beacon is more than just a processing plant; the mill is fully permitted, wholly owned and already physically in place, with a design capacity of 750 tonnes per day, with optionality to scale to more than 3,000 tonnes per day longer term. LaFleur strengthened its financial position after closing C$7.8 million end of last year as it moves towards restarting gold production and shifts into revenue generation.   For further information about LaFleur Minerals, please visit the LaFleur Profile.

This article has been disseminated on behalf of LaFleur Minerals Inc. and may include a paid advertisement. MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The most powerful moment to get involved in a mining company’s story is often not at the earliest discovery stage, or even after production is fully established, but at the precise inflection point when a company transitions from explorer to producer. This is the stage where geological risk has been substantially reduced, infrastructure decisions have been made and capital is finally aligned with execution, creating the conditions for outsized valuation re-ratings. Solid funding is essential at this juncture, as it allows management teams to shift from conceptual planning to tangible value creation. This scenario is now taking shape at LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (Profile), a Québec-based gold company that recently completed an oversubscribed and upsized $7.8 million financing and is now funded to restart production at its Beacon Gold Mill, positioning the company at exactly the point where upside potential historically accelerates. LaFleur stands out in a crowded junior mining landscape because it controls a rare combination of advanced exploration assets and fully permitted, refurbished production infrastructure in one of the world’s most prolific gold regions. The company owns the Beacon Gold Mill outright, a modern facility in excellent condition that has already undergone substantial upgrades, while also advancing its wholly owned Swanson Gold Project as a near-term source of mineralized material. Despite being years ahead of many regional peers that are still navigating permitting and infrastructure hurdles, LaFleur continues to trade at a discount to the underlying value of its assets, creating what appears to be a compelling disconnect between market valuation and operational readiness. LaFleur is at a strategic inflection point as it transitions to near-term revenue generation in Canada’s largest gold-producing region, sits among a strong group of gold-focused mining companies dedicated to being leaders, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ECR), Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA) and Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF). Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice. LaFleur’s near-term strategy is built around a simple but powerful concept: feeding its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material from its own Swanson Gold Project. The Swanson Gold Project represents LaFleur’s flagship exploration and development asset and forms the geological backbone of its vertically integrated production model. As LaFleur moves closer to production, the company is taking deliberate steps to de-risk its development pathway through bulk sampling and advanced economic analysis. The Beacon Gold Mill is central to LaFleur’s investment thesis and is arguably its most distinctive asset, sitting at a replacement valuation nearly twice the company’s current market cap. LaFleur’s restart plan for the Beacon Gold Mill is both defined and achievable, with trial runs of processing on-site stockpiled material targeted for Q12026. Funding the Leap to Production The past few months, gold prices have surged to record highs, with spot gold climbing above $4,600 per ounce and major financial institutions and analysts projecting further gains throughout this year. Analysts have forecast that gold could trade above $5,000 per ounce in 2026, driven by continued macroeconomic uncertainty, central bank buying and safe-haven demand, while 2025 saw one of the strongest gold rallies in years. As gold prices hit these historic levels and forward guidance remains bullish, producing gold-mining companies, particularly those nearing or in production such as LaFleur, stand to benefit from expanded margins and stronger cash flows. LaFleur’s near-term strategy is built around a simple but powerful concept: feeding its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material from its own Swanson Gold Project to create a vertically integrated, low-cost production model. This approach eliminates many of the uncertainties that plague junior miners, including reliance on third-party processing facilities and delays caused by permitting new infrastructure. By controlling both the source of ore and the processing facility, LaFleur is positioned to capture value across the production chain in one of the most established gold districts globally. The company recently completed a C$7.8 million financing that marks a strategic inflection point as it transitions from exploration toward near-term gold production and sustained value creation. This financing included the previously announced closing of an upsized LIFE offering with gross proceeds of approximately C$4.7 million, an oversubscribed flow-through offering generating about C$2.2 million and a final hard-dollar tranche of roughly C$900,000. Collectively, these transactions provide the financial momentum required to advance both mill restart activities and continued development of the Swanson Gold Project without immediate dilution pressure. This funding milestone arrives as LaFleur prepares to complete its Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”), which is intended to outline a comprehensive and economically grounded plan for sourcing mineralized material from Swanson and processing that material at the nearby Beacon Gold Mill. The PEA is expected to incorporate updated geological data, mining scenarios, metallurgical performance and cost assumptions, providing investors with a clearer picture of project economics, benefiting from current gold prices. Importantly, the PEA is not an abstract study but one anchored in existing, permitted infrastructure, significantly reducing execution risk compared with greenfield development models. LaFleur’s timing aligns with broader structural trends in Canadian gold mining. Canada maintained its position as a top global gold producer in 2024, posting a year-over-year increase in output, with Ontario and Québec remaining at the heart of production. The Abitibi Greenstone Belt, in particular, continues to attract capital, consolidation and major acquisitions. Recent regional transactions involving established producers underscore the strategic value of advanced projects with infrastructure, while rising gold prices add further leverage to near-term producers. Against this backdrop, research coverage has highlighted LaFleur as a potential beneficiary of a near-term re-rating as it moves decisively toward production.   For further information about LaFleur Minerals, please visit the LaFleur Profile.   About MiningNewsWire MiningNewsWire (“MNW”) is a specialized communications platform with a focus on developments and opportunities in the Global Mining and Resources sectors.

This article has been disseminated on behalf of LaFleur Minerals Inc. and may include a paid advertisement. MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The most powerful moment to get involved in a mining company’s story is often not at the earliest discovery stage, or even after production is fully established, but at the precise inflection point when a company transitions from explorer to producer. This is the stage where geological risk has been substantially reduced, infrastructure decisions have been made and capital is finally aligned with execution, creating the conditions for outsized valuation re-ratings. Solid funding is essential at this juncture, as it allows management teams to shift from conceptual planning to tangible value creation. This scenario is now taking shape at LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (Profile), a Québec-based gold company that recently completed an oversubscribed and upsized $7.8 million financing and is now funded to restart production at its Beacon Gold Mill, positioning the company at exactly the point where upside potential historically accelerates. LaFleur stands out in a crowded junior mining landscape because it controls a rare combination of advanced exploration assets and fully permitted, refurbished production infrastructure in one of the world’s most prolific gold regions. The company owns the Beacon Gold Mill outright, a modern facility in excellent condition that has already undergone substantial upgrades, while also advancing its wholly owned Swanson Gold Project as a near-term source of mineralized material. Despite being years ahead of many regional peers that are still navigating permitting and infrastructure hurdles, LaFleur continues to trade at a discount to the underlying value of its assets, creating what appears to be a compelling disconnect between market valuation and operational readiness. LaFleur is at a strategic inflection point as it transitions to near-term revenue generation in Canada’s largest gold-producing region, sits among a strong group of gold-focused mining companies dedicated to being leaders, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ECR), Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA) and Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF). Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice. LaFleur’s near-term strategy is built around a simple but powerful concept: feeding its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material from its own Swanson Gold Project. The Swanson Gold Project represents LaFleur’s flagship exploration and development asset and forms the geological backbone of its vertically integrated production model. As LaFleur moves closer to production, the company is taking deliberate steps to de-risk its development pathway through bulk sampling and advanced economic analysis. The Beacon Gold Mill is central to LaFleur’s investment thesis and is arguably its most distinctive asset, sitting at a replacement valuation nearly twice the company’s current market cap. LaFleur’s restart plan for the Beacon Gold Mill is both defined and achievable, with trial runs of processing on-site stockpiled material targeted for Q12026. Funding the Leap to Production The past few months, gold prices have surged to record highs, with spot gold climbing above $4,600 per ounce and major financial institutions and analysts projecting further gains throughout this year. Analysts have forecast that gold could trade above $5,000 per ounce in 2026, driven by continued macroeconomic uncertainty, central bank buying and safe-haven demand, while 2025 saw one of the strongest gold rallies in years. As gold prices hit these historic levels and forward guidance remains bullish, producing gold-mining companies, particularly those nearing or in production such as LaFleur, stand to benefit from expanded margins and stronger cash flows. LaFleur’s near-term strategy is built around a simple but powerful concept: feeding its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material from its own Swanson Gold Project to create a vertically integrated, low-cost production model. This approach eliminates many of the uncertainties that plague junior miners, including reliance on third-party processing facilities and delays caused by permitting new infrastructure. By controlling both the source of ore and the processing facility, LaFleur is positioned to capture value across the production chain in one of the most established gold districts globally.

This article has been disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining Corp. and may include a paid advertisement. The most compelling moment for investors to engage with a mining company is often during its transition from explorer to producer, a period when value can inflect sharply as an organization shifts from discovery to cash flow. Explorers that successfully cross this development threshold tend to realize significant re-ratings because they de-risk their story, demonstrate reliable production capability and create a foundation for recurring revenues. For many interested in the mining space, entering at this stage allows participation before the substantial upside typically associated with the first years of production is fully priced in. This moment becomes particularly attractive when a company controls key infrastructure, is advancing toward production in a tier-one jurisdiction and trades at a valuation meaningfully below the replacement cost of its assets. That dynamic is now unfolding around LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (Profile), which owns a fully permitted and refurbished gold mill in Québec’s Abitibi region and is positioned well ahead of neighboring peers still working through early development stages. With a district-scale land position, an advancing flagship deposit and near-term production plans, LaFleur offers meaningful leverage to the explorer-to-producer inflection point, which historically delivers some of the best returns in the mining sector. LaFleur is among a strong group of companies working to become leaders in the mining space, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF), Pirate Gold Corp. (TSXV: YARR) (OTCQB: SICNF) and Abcourt Mines (TSX.V: ABI) (OTC: ABMBF). LaFleur’s core strategy is built around a vertically integrated development model anchored by its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill and its nearby Swanson Gold Project. To advance Swanson toward production and enhance geological confidence as primary source of mineralized material required for the mill restart, LaFleur initiated a 7,500-meter diamond drilling program this year, targeting more than 50 prospects, as well as a twin hole program for the purpose of its ongoing PEA. As part of its transition toward production, LaFleur has begun permitting for a bulk sample of approximately 100,000 tonnes from the Swanson deposit. One of LaFleur’s most significant competitive strengths is its ownership of the Beacon Gold Mill, a fully permitted and recently refurbished facility in Val-d’Or. LaFleur has finalized a comprehensive restart plan for the Beacon Mill, budgeting between C$5 and C$6 million to complete the six-to-eight-month recommissioning process.

This news release has been disseminated on behalf of Fairchild Gold Corp. and may include paid advertising. AUSTIN, Texas, December 9, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Nikolas Perrault, CFA, Executive Chairman of Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FAIR) (OTC: FCHDF), a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing high-quality mineral properties in mining-friendly jurisdictions across North America. To begin the interview, Perrault provided a clear overview of Fairchild Gold’s mission and current focus. “Fairchild is a TSX Venture–listed company which started trading a few years ago on the exchange, but very rapidly it’s pivoted and has been focusing its efforts in Nevada,” he said. “Over the past less than 15 months, the company has made three acquisitions in Nevada, where it’s really building its home… We’ve been very busy the last 15 months building this portfolio in Nevada, which is probably one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world.” He then explained how the company allocates capital across its newly assembled Nevada portfolio. “Nevada Titan, which is the original anchor flagship project, is an exploration-stage project where we’re essentially rediscovering an old historic mining district. That’s where we’ve been concentrating most of our budget over the last 12 months… We just completed geophysics—round one, if you will—with a drone magnetic survey. We’re going to be following up with some additional geophysics to further refine the zones that we’ve identified as priority. Then, we will begin to prepare for drill permitting targeting the second quarter.” Building on that, Perrault discussed the company’s development-stage assets and why they represent near-term catalysts. “The Golden Arrow project is very different. It’s really an advanced stage project. There’s already a historic measured and indicated resource which was really not relevant or economic, we believe, at $2,000 gold—but at $4,000 gold, I think the game is completely changed and this asset could be very, very profitable… We’re basically looking at this as a development-stage project where the first phase for us will be to conduct a preliminary economic assessment of the project… There’s a lot of exploration upside with the multiple targets already identified at Golden Arrow, but it isn’t going to be our immediate priority. We’ll wait on the results of the PEA to guide our next steps on that one.” Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and Nikolas Perrault, CFA, Executive Chairman of Fairchild Gold, for a conversation on the company’s Nevada-focused strategy, its staged exploration and development plans, and the catalysts that may shape the road ahead.

This article has been disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining Corp. and may include a paid advertisement. MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Global electricity demand is entering a historic inflection point. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) now forecasts that worldwide data center electricity consumption will nearly double by 2030, with AI-driven centers multiplying their energy use more than four-fold over the same period, a pace that strains already overloaded grids across the United States, China, Europe, Southeast Asia and elsewhere. The constraint is no longer bandwidth or chip capability — it is electricity itself. Amid this tightening energy landscape, a compelling new frontier is emerging: natural hydrogen, a geologic form of hydrogen being generated continuously within the Earth’s subsurface. Unlike manufactured hydrogen, geologic hydrogen can be produced without electrolysis and emits only water when used for energy production. It may represent the first scalable, low-carbon baseload power source for AI-era demand. That is why MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) (profile) has become the first publicly traded company in North America to advance a massive land package (1.3 million acres) permitted specifically for natural hydrogen exploration and development, including a commercial-scale natural hydrogen well, positioning itself at the forefront of a new energy class. MAX Power is working to establish itself as a leader among well-known companies that are innovating and leading in the AI space, including Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG). Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice. MAX Power has made a landmark contribution by drilling into natural hydrogen in Canada’s first-ever well dedicated to this potential new primary energy source. The company reported natural hydrogen across multiple horizons at its Lawson location, supported by gas sampling, chemical analysis and downhole logging tools capable of identifying trace hydrogen concentrations. MAX Power’s permitted acreage across the province spans 1.3 million acres, with an additional 5.7 million acres under review, creating the opportunity to evaluate whether the region hosts a large-scale hydrogen system. The company has attracted collaboration from respected scientific institutions, including the Colorado School of Mines, as interest in natural hydrogen grows. MAX Power CEO Ran Narayanasamy is highly regarded and well connected in the global energy sector. The Global Energy Crunch Meets a New Resource Artificial intelligence is expanding at a pace that far exceeds the design capacity of existing electricity systems. In addition to IEA’s forecast, Bloomberg projections suggest that U.S. data centers alone could consume as much as 9% of all American electricity by 2035, a dramatic increase that underscores the shifting energy footprint of digital infrastructure. The IEA also reports that per-capita U.S. data-center usage could reach 1,200 kilowatt-hours per year, greatly surpassing consumption levels in most other countries and highlighting the intense energy requirements of emerging technologies. Hydrogen is often highlighted as a key decarbonization tool, yet nearly 99% of global hydrogen production comes from fossil fuels, resulting in significant emissions and high costs. Green hydrogen, while cleaner, requires large amounts of renewable electricity and is expensive to scale. This widening mismatch between electricity supply and clean-energy demand is prompting rapid scientific and commercial interest in geologic hydrogen.   For further information about MAX Power Mining Corp., visit the MAX Power Mining profile.   For more information, please visit https://www.MiningNewsWire.com Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the MiningNewsWire website applicable to all content provided by MNW, wherever published or republished: https://www.MiningNewsWire.com/Disclaimer

MAX Power is working to establish itself as a leader among well-known companies that are innovating and leading in the AI space, including Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG). Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice. MAX Power has made a landmark contribution by drilling into natural hydrogen in Canada’s first-ever well dedicated to this potential new primary energy source. The company reported natural hydrogen across multiple horizons at its Lawson location, supported by gas sampling, chemical analysis and downhole logging tools capable of identifying trace hydrogen concentrations. MAX Power’s permitted acreage across the province spans 1.3 million acres, with an additional 5.7 million acres under review, creating the opportunity to evaluate whether the region hosts a large-scale hydrogen system. The company has attracted collaboration from respected scientific institutions, including the Colorado School of Mines, as interest in natural hydrogen grows. MAX Power CEO Ran Narayanasamy is highly regarded and well connected in the global energy sector. The Global Energy Crunch Meets a New Resource Artificial intelligence is expanding at a pace that far exceeds the design capacity of existing electricity systems. In addition to IEA’s forecast, Bloomberg projections suggest that U.S. data centers alone could consume as much as 9% of all American electricity by 2035, a dramatic increase that underscores the shifting energy footprint of digital infrastructure. The IEA also reports that per-capita U.S. data-center usage could reach 1,200 kilowatt-hours per year, greatly surpassing consumption levels in most other countries and highlighting the intense energy requirements of emerging technologies. Hydrogen is often highlighted as a key decarbonization tool, yet nearly 99% of global hydrogen production comes from fossil fuels, resulting in significant emissions and high costs. Green hydrogen, while cleaner, requires large amounts of renewable electricity and is expensive to scale. This widening mismatch between electricity supply and clean-energy demand is prompting rapid scientific and commercial interest in geologic hydrogen.   For further information about MAX Power Mining Corp., visit the MAX Power Mining profile.   For more information, please visit https://www.MiningNewsWire.com Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the MiningNewsWire website applicable to all content provided by MNW, wherever published or republished: https://www.MiningNewsWire.com/Disclaimer

AUSTIN, Texas, November 20, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features John D. Kuhns, Chairman, CEO, and Founder of Numa Numa Resources Inc., a mining and infrastructure development company focused on unlocking transformational opportunities in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. To begin the interview, Kuhns offered a clear overview of the company’s mission and the opportunity ahead. “Numa Numa Resources is focused on infrastructure development in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, which is currently a political unit of Papua New Guinea, although they want to be independent,” he said. “The reason we’re focused there is because Bougainville has very, very significant resources, not just mineral resources, which a lot of people know about, but also fisheries, exotic timber, and so forth. It’s a real opportunity if one can put up with the pretty limited economic development currently going on.” He then explained how trust, legitimacy, and alignment with Bougainvillean priorities form the core of the company’s strategy. “Getting the trust and respect of Bougainvilleans is obviously critical to not only our mission, but the mission of anybody who wants to do business in Bougainville. The way to do that is not to be presumptuous enough to think that what you want to do is the most important thing, but rather to appeal to the Bougainvilleans and ask them what they would like to see… They suffered through a civil war about 40 years ago, so they need to rebuild their economy to develop a prosperous way of life and to hopefully enable them to become independent from Papua New Guinea.” Building on that, Kuhns discussed how this foundation creates a path toward future development and the company’s near-term trajectory. “Our mission is to not only develop resources with them in Bougainville but certainly take advantage of the current rabid appetite for the metals which can be mined and found in Bougainville—namely copper, gold, and silver—and to use that to become a public company sometime in the next six to eight months.” Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and John D. Kuhns, Chairman, CEO, and Founder of Numa Numa Resources, for a conversation on Bougainville’s resource potential, Numa Numa’s integrated development strategy, and the company’s roadmap toward public markets.

Bougainville, a resource-rich archipelago in the South Pacific, is perhaps best known as the home of the Panguna Mine. Developed by Rio Tinto, the Panguna Mine was the largest open cut copper and gold mine in the world when it operated from 1972 to 1989 before being shuttered due to a civil war, called “the Crisis,” between Bougainville and its parent government Papua New Guinea. In 2001, the Bougainville Peace Agreement ended the war and awarded Bougainville limited autonomy, including its own constitution, by which ownership of the mine reverted to its customary landowners. A majority of the Panguna Mine’s copper, gold, and silver ore resources remain within its walls, making the fully explored and developed Panguna Mine one of the largest ore bodies in the world, today worth approximately $100 billion. Most geologists who have studied Bougainville believe that other nearby locations such as Mainoki and Karato are highly prospective and may contain ore deposits similar in size and scale to those of the Panguna Mine.

This article has been disseminated on behalf of ESGold Corp., and may include a paid advertisement. NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Artificial intelligence (“AI”) runs on gold and silver, the same metals found in every chip, data center, and iPhone, yet global reserves and refining capacity are tightening faster than demand models can adjust. Silver is the irreplaceable conductor woven through photovoltaic cells and high-speed interconnects, while gold remains the corrosion-proof standard in connectors, bonding wire and high-reliability electronics. In 2024, technology demand for gold climbed to roughly 326 tonnes, up 7% year over year, which equates to about 10.5 million ounces consumed by industrial and electronic uses according to the World Gold Council. As that demand base widens with AI hardware scaling globally, ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile), enters the picture with a plan tailored to serve this deepening pull on gold and silver through a fully funded, fully permitted project designed for near-term cash flow and longer-term growth. The company joins an impressive group of both producer and user companies, including Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG), that are playing key roles in the global chain that transforms mined metals into indispensable materials for modern technology and electrification. Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice. ESGold positions its flagship Montauban Gold-Silver Project to deliver near-term supply without multiyear permitting or financing overhangs. ESGold’s model inverts the traditional model by targeting early revenue from tailings reprocessing to self-fund exploration while cleaning up the environment. By concentrating on already mined, historical material, ESGold has stripped away layers of typical exploration risk, including uncertain discovery, extended timelines and capital drag, while preserving geological upside across the district. ESGold reports that advanced 3D geological modeling of the Montauban district is nearing completion, integrating geophysical and historical datasets to illuminate deeper targets and potential new discovery. Few preproduction companies can credibly claim to be fully permitted, fully funded and advancing on schedule; that scarcity is part of the ESGold argument. AI Buildout Makes Metals the Bottleneck As the data economy accelerates, the limiting factor is no longer software innovation but the physical supply of metals that make intelligence tangible. Goldman Sachs Research projects that global power demand from data centers will rise by as much as 165% by 2030 versus 2023, reflecting a rapid build-out of high-density, AI-optimized facilities. That scale-up cascades into servers, switches and accelerators packed with gold-plated contacts and silver-rich solders, all components whose reliability depends on those metals’ unique properties. This is not a marginal change; it’s an infrastructure wave that elevates materials from background cost lines to front-page risks. In simple terms, when supply gets squeezed, manufacturing demand cannot pause, so tech companies will pay up and scramble to lock in materials. The pressure is visible beyond forecasts. U.S. utilities have begun reworking growth plans around AI-driven load, while analysts warn that consumption from data centers will more than double globally by 2030. Even in the spot market, tightness has flared: In October 2025, Reuters reported a silver liquidity squeeze in London severe enough to justify air-freighting bars, with lease rates spiking as prices hit records before modestly easing. For manufacturers, these signals translate into procurement urgency, not optionality. When interconnects must be gold plated and solders must be silver bearing, production lines cannot simply delay shipments until inventories normalize. Electronics and clean energy add persistent pull. World Gold Council data show technology demand for gold at 326 tonnes in 2024, approximately 10.5 million ounces, while the Silver Institute reports industrial silver demand at a record 680.5 million ounces in 2024, the fourth straight year of structural market deficit. In parallel, smartphones alone embed meaningful volumes of gold, with a typical handset containing about 7–34 milligrams. At roughly 1.4 billion units per year, phones are a steady, noncyclical sink, before considering PCs, servers and network gear, along with the added pull from investment demand. The cumulative effect is a tighter materials stack that increasingly defines the pace and cost of the AI, EV and solar rollouts.

This article has been disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining, and may include a paid advertisement. NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Artificial intelligence (“AI”) isn’t just changing technology — it’s rewriting the global energy equation. The world’s smartest machines now require staggering amounts of electricity, pushing grids to their limits as nations and corporations scramble to secure clean, scalable power to meet both industrial growth and net-zero commitments. Among the emerging contenders in this power space, one stands out for its simplicity and promise: natural hydrogen. And at the forefront of this discovery effort is MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) (profile)—the first public company in North America focused on commercial-scale natural hydrogen development. MAX Power controls Canada’s largest permitted land package for natural hydrogen in the pro-energy province of Saskatchewan, highlighted by the 275-mile (475 km) Genesis Trend that’s now believed to extend into Montana and the Dakotas. MAX Power has just commenced drilling its first dedicated natural hydrogen well at its Lawson target on Genesis, kicking off a historic multi-well program targeting what could become the world’s first commercial discovery of this clean, emissions-free energy source. MAX Power is working to become a powerhouse among other energy leaders committed to provide stable, sustainable energy, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM), Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) and Shell PLC (NYSE: SHEL). Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice. MAX Power has emerged as the first North American-based public company to drill a natural hydrogen well. With 1.3 million acres permitted in Saskatchewan, and another 5.3 million acres under application, MAX Power owns the most attractive natural hydrogen land portfolio in North America, an unmatched regional-scale opportunity. Natural hydrogen’s transition from theory to reality depends on scientific validation, and MAX Power’s partnership with the globally recognized Petroleum Technology Research Centre is designed to provide that. The company’s ability to move first stems from its combination of experienced technical leadership and high-conviction capital from billionaire mining investor Eric Sprott. Natural hydrogen could represent the next great baseload energy revolution, a clean, scalable power source arriving just as AI, EVs and data centers push grids to their limits. A New Frontier in Clean Baseload Power Global energy systems are under increasing strain. While solar and wind are reshaping the generation mix, they still face intermittency challenges, and natural gas remains carbon intensive. With AI data centers, semiconductor fabrication and advanced manufacturing driving exponential electricity demand, the world’s appetite for firm, clean power has never been greater. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) projects that electricity use from data centers alone will roughly double by 2030, reaching about 945 terawatt-hours, a level comparable to Japan’s entire national consumption. AI-optimized data centers could more than quadruple their draw during the same period. Renewables are ramping quickly, but transmission delays and storage limitations hinder reliable grid expansion while congestion and permitting hurdles threaten the rollout of new generation and high-voltage infrastructure. Meanwhile, large tech firms are signing multibillion-dollar energy supply agreements to secure future power for data and compute clusters. As the search for scalable, clean baseload energy intensifies, attention is turning underground. Natural hydrogen, also called “geologic” or “white” hydrogen, is generated through natural reactions, such as groundwater interacting with iron-rich rocks in processes such as serpentinization. Unlike “green” hydrogen produced by electrolysis, or “blue” hydrogen derived from fossil fuels with carbon capture, natural hydrogen is formed by Earth’s own geology. It offers the potential of emissions-free energy, with only water as the combustion byproduct, and possible lower production costs. Natural hydrogen’s potential economics are striking. Early studies suggest that it could potentially be produced at very low cost, in the range of $0.50–$1.00 per kg in some cases. Research shows that blending hydrogen into existing natural gas infrastructure is technically feasible and is being modeled as an economic pathway to monetize early hydrogen discoveries. If the exploratory cost and speed-to-market assumptions hold true, natural hydrogen could offer a clean, scalable baseload energy source with lower cost, faster deployment and zero direct carbon emissions when used in a fuel cell or turbine — an attractive prospect for high-demand sectors such as AI data centers and heavy industry.   For further information about MAX Power Mining Corp., visit the MAX Power Mining profile.

This release has been disseminated on behalf of LaFleur Minerals, which may include a paid advertisement.   NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Over the past year, gold, silver and other precious metals have staged a consistent up-move that is reshaping the investment case for the mining sector. Driven by inflation pressures, global uncertainty, central-bank buying and tight supply, the precious-metals complex today offers more than a safe-haven hedge: it presents a credible growth opportunity. While equities remain volatile and many sectors face structural headwinds, mining companies tied to precious metals are emerging as both compelling and relatively stable investment options. Amid this backdrop, the timing of a mining company’s transition from exploration to production becomes especially significant. It is precisely when a junior miner pivots into producer status — when it has defined assets, a processing route and imminent cash flow — that the upside potential is often greatest as earlier exploration uncertainty has been resolved and asset value starts to convert from potential into concrete economics. One company offering a striking example of this pivot is LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (Profile). LaFleur holds a fully permitted and recently refurbished gold-processing mill, is years ahead of many of its peer explorers who have yet to secure production assets, and presently trades at a discount to its asset value. By combining a near-term producer trajectory with undervalued assets, Lafleur is strengthening its position with others operating in the mining space, including Nicola Mining (OTCQB: HUSIF), West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (OTCQB: WRLGF), ESGold Corp. (OTCQB: ESAUF) and Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B). LaFleur Minerals is actively advancing its pivot from explorer toward near-term gold producer status. LaFleur’s flagship Swanson Gold Project is a high-quality advanced exploration asset with a strong historical data base and clear upside potential. A critical advantage for LaFleur is the ownership of the fully permitted, recently refurbished Beacon Gold Mill. The company has laid out a clear and executable plan to restart the Beacon Mill. LaFleur has commenced the permitting process. Sustained Momentum and Mining’s Appeal Gold and silver are riding one of the strongest rallies in recent memory, and the broader precious-metals complex is showing durable strength. The precious metals are recognized by many investors, who “have turned to both gold and silver because it may provide a hedge in a potential economic or market downturn, as well as during sustained periods of rising inflation.” In addition, platinum and other metals show similar upward trends, underlining how the precious-metals family is broadly in favor. For investors, this rally reinforces the enduring appeal of the mining sector. Unlike many high-beta industry plays, gold and silver miners offer a hedge against inflation, currency depreciation and macro volatility. As capital markets rethink exposures, mining companies tied to precious metals may be benefitting from scarcity, rising costs and renewed investor interest as precious-metals returns have markedly outperformed the broader commodities space in 2025. Mining companies that hold operating or near-operating assets, particularly in safe jurisdictions, are especially attractive. They can offer leverage to the underlying metal price, while also offering tangible asset value such as a permitted mill or producing mine. That scenario is less speculative than pure exploration and more scalable than simply holding bullion. Within this context, LaFleur’s business model, owning both a high-quality mill and a mineral deposit in a prolific gold district, becomes salient. LaFleur Minerals controls two critical production pillars: a fully permitted, refurbished gold mill and a mineral project within Canada’s most prolific gold-producing region. That dual ownership and integration advantage is rare among juniors. As many peers remain stuck in permitting or exploration phases, LaFleur is positioned ahead of the curve. This progression into the production phase offers both the potential for upside and the relative stability of turning assets into economics.   To view the full publication, visit https://ibn.fm/azL8F   For further information about LaFleur Minerals, please visit the LaFleur Profile.   For more information, please visit www.NetworkNewsWire.com Please view full terms of use and disclaimers on the NNW website applicable to all content provided by NNW, wherever published or re-published: http://www.nnw.fm/Disclaimer

This release has been disseminated on behalf of LaFleur Minerals, which may include a paid advertisement.   NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Over the past year, gold, silver and other precious metals have staged a consistent up-move that is reshaping the investment case for the mining sector. Driven by inflation pressures, global uncertainty, central-bank buying and tight supply, the precious-metals complex today offers more than a safe-haven hedge: it presents a credible growth opportunity. While equities remain volatile and many sectors face structural headwinds, mining companies tied to precious metals are emerging as both compelling and relatively stable investment options. Amid this backdrop, the timing of a mining company’s transition from exploration to production becomes especially significant. It is precisely when a junior miner pivots into producer status — when it has defined assets, a processing route and imminent cash flow — that the upside potential is often greatest as earlier exploration uncertainty has been resolved and asset value starts to convert from potential into concrete economics. One company offering a striking example of this pivot is LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (Profile). LaFleur holds a fully permitted and recently refurbished gold-processing mill, is years ahead of many of its peer explorers who have yet to secure production assets, and presently trades at a discount to its asset value.

This release has been disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining, which may include a paid advertisement.   NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The AI revolution isn’t running out of processing power; it’s running out of electricity, and the race is on to find the next great source of clean, limitless energy. Data centers are devouring power faster than utilities can supply it, straining aging grids, driving up household energy bills and exposing a simple truth — the digital world needs a new source of real-world power. One breakthrough stands apart: natural hydrogen. According to the International Energy Agency (“IEA”), global data-center power consumption is projected to more than double by 2030, to roughly 945 terawatt-hours (“TWh”), and the subset of AI-optimized centers could quadruple over the same period. Meanwhile, in the United States, power demand from data centers may well double by 2035 as well, potentially consuming around 9% of national electricity demand. In short: Compute demand is outpacing expansion in grid capacity. This is why the big names in tech and capital are now racing to secure energy itself — and one of the most promising sectors in that energy race is natural (geologic) hydrogen. Enter MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) (profile). This first-mover North American public company is focused on commercial natural hydrogen. MAX Power controls approximately 1.3 million permitted acres in Saskatchewan, including the 200-km-long Genesis Trend, which lies adjacent to an existing industrial corridor and a proposed Hydrogen Hub, with multiple ranked targets. With its focus on providing energy for AI demand, MAX Power joins a group of leaders operating in the AI space, including NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), whose involvement spans hardware, software, infrastructure, research, investment and product rollout. AI’s rapid expansion is redefining global energy demand, forcing a rethink of how the world generates and delivers power. MAX Power is North America’s public company leader in taking natural hydrogen to commerciality, a potential major breakthrough in clean, baseload energy. With the largest natural hydrogen portfolio on the continent, MAX Power controls Canada’s most prospective ground in this emerging frontier. The company’s partnership with the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (“PTRC”) and billionaire investor Eric Sprott brings world-class validation and government connectivity to accelerate development. Backed by proven leadership and aligned capital, MAX Power is positioned to pioneer the next major shift in global energy. The Macro Opportunity: Geologic (Natural) Hydrogen AI’s rapid expansion is redefining global energy demand, forcing a rethink of how the world generates and delivers power. The IEA estimates that in 2024, global data centers were responsible for roughly 1.5% of worldwide electricity consumption. By 2030, data center electricity is projected to climb to about 945 TWh, more than the entire electricity demand of Japan today. In fact, the IEA highlights that “AI-optimized” data centers could more than quadruple their power draw during this period. This means the bottleneck isn’t compute hardware or cooling systems so much as power availability, reliability and scalability. The IEA statement that “it’s about power now” has moved from a whisper to a full-throated consensus across the data center industry. In the U.S. context, data-center growth alone may drive nearly half of incremental electricity demand by 2030, a striking figure that underscores how compute growth is reshaping grid planning and energy investment flows. To meet this kind of demand, and the 24/7 baseload nature of hyperscale compute facilities, the industry must look beyond simply adding more renewables or expanding transmission. That means exploring energy sources that are dispatchable, flexible and scalable. Enter the concept of geologic (natural) hydrogen, a resource that until recently was mostly academic but is increasingly being framed as the next frontier of energy. Geologic hydrogen exists in subsurface reservoirs formed by interactions between water and iron-rich rocks and potentially in quantities large enough to rival proven natural-gas reserves. This isn’t manufactured hydrogen via electrolysis or fossil-fuel derived (grey/blue) hydrogen. Natural hydrogen requires no electricity to produce and offers near-zero lifecycle emissions once flowing. The appeal for AI-era power is clear: a low-carbon, on-site, non-intermittent baseload source that ensures consistent uptime and energy security for the world’s fastest-growing industry. One startup, Koloma, backed by Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, describes it as “a global gold rush for buried hydrogen.” In essence, as AI compute demand scales faster than grid expansion, the energy industry must shift from marginal renewables to foundational new supply. Geologic hydrogen could be that supply. Natural hydrogen offers the chance to deliver clean, dispatchable energy exactly where it’s needed, near compute clusters, industrial corridors and heavy-power zones. It’s not just about clean power; it’s about unlocking a new energy paradigm around compute-first infrastructure. The numbers, the grid-constraints and the compute growth trajectory all point to this moment being more than just another energy transition. It’s the foundation layer for the AI era.   To view the full publication, visit https://ibn.fm/BWyXt   For further information about MAX Power Mining Corp., visit the MAX Power Mining profile.   For more information, please visit www.NetworkNewsWire.com Please view full terms of use and disclaimers on the NNW website applicable to all content provided by NNW, wherever published or re-published: http://www.nnw.fm/Disclaimer

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: A major sector rotation is beginning to unfold. After years of capital crowding into overvalued growth sectors such as technology and AI, investors are increasingly turning to real assets, specifically looking at producers and near-producers in precious metals, as the next destination for capital flows. What makes this moment unique is that gold and silver are reaching new all-time highs even as equity markets rally, creating a rare environment of rising hard-asset values alongside broad market strength. While speculative exploration has long defined the junior mining space, a new class of companies is emerging – fully funded, fully permitted projects on the cusp of production, with tangible near-term cash flow potential. An example of this type of opportunity is ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile), which exemplifies the shift toward juniors that can deliver value now, not just promise tomorrow. ESGold is advancing two complementary projects: its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec is under construction with production targeted for 2026 while, in Colombia, the company is in the process of validating its Planta Magdalena joint venture (“JV”), where historical data and early sampling suggest district-scale upside. This combination of cash-flow potential and exploration optionality is rare among juniors that still trade at preproduction valuations, making ESGold an option worth considering among other precious mineral operators in the space, including BHP Group Ltd. (NYSE: BHP), Barrick Mining Corp. (NYSE: B), Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE: AEM) and Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE: WPM). At Montauban, ESGold’s fully funded, fully permitted tailings processing is structured to begin generating cash flow before full-scale exploration ramps up. The company has a binding MOU with Planta Magdalena S.A.S. in Colombia, to jointly reprocess permitted gold- and silver-rich tailings, now moving through validation phase. To support its dual-track strategy, ESGold has in place its critical financing and sales arrangement with Ocean Partners UK for the Montauban project. Multiple catalysts lie ahead as the company transitions from buildout to production. ESGold’s dual-track approach, combining a low-capex, high-margin tailings production model with systematic exploration upside, is designed for replication across legacy districts in the Americas. Gold’s Defensive Strength Before Downturns Historically, gold has served as a safe haven during recessions and periods of financial stress. Yet in this cycle, gold (and often silver) is rising before a downturn arrives, reflecting investor anticipation rather than reaction. The rotation toward safety is not retroactive; it is unfolding in real time, as more capital seeks stable, de-risked exposure. Because many investors are already hedging against inflation, debt and instability, precious metals are poised to become one of the largest beneficiaries of global capital realignment. Juniors with production capability are especially attractive in this environment, offering both leverage to a rising metals price and the potential for cash flow even in volatile markets. Within the junior space, speculative explorers have long outnumbered real operators. But the new paradigm is different: Companies with high potential for success may be those with low-capital intensity models, high margins and the discipline to fund exploration from operating cash rather than constant dilution. These are the operators rewriting the traditional model. ESGold represents a clear evolution in that theme. The company is fully funded and permitted, advancing its Montauban project toward production while simultaneously validating its Colombian joint venture. Montauban’s fully permitted tailings and remaining near-surface mineralization provide a clear path to near-term revenue. Few juniors reach this dual status — permitted, financed, diversified — while still trading with upside potential rather than execution risk.   To view the full publication, visit https://ibn.fm/33JVK   For further information about ESGold Corporation, please visit the ESGold Profile.   For more information, please visit www.NetworkNewsWire.com Please view full terms of use and disclaimers on the NNW website applicable to all content provided by NNW, wherever published or re-published: http://www.nnw.fm/Disclaimer

AUSTIN, Texas, October 16, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Sandy McVey, CEO and COO of West Vault Mining Inc. (TSX.V: WVM) (OTCQX: WVMDF), a development-stage gold company focused on maximizing shareholder value through a low-risk, cash-conservative strategy. To begin the interview, McVey outlined West Vault Mining’s mission and how it stands apart from other junior miners in the sector. “The overall mission and vision are very much focused on safe shareholder investment. We look after our shareholders; that is the primary objective, taking a leaf out of Warren Buffett’s famous saying, ‘do not lose shareholder money,’” he explained. “There are many junior gold mining companies here in Vancouver. It’s a great business to be in, but it is speculative and risky… We differentiate in that we are much lower on any risk profile.” “We are very risk averse. We believe we’ve got a very fine project. It’s permitted, and it’s in the best, safest jurisdiction in the world. It has very robust economics, and it’s simple… Our chairman believes and has reason to believe, given the recent rising gold, that we are in a secular bull gold market that has been going on for a number of years and will likely continue for a number of years. We bought this project when gold was about $1,100. We’re knocking on the door of $4,000 gold. It’s foreseeable sometime in the near future.” “How do you capitalize on that? One of the best ways is owning gold. Owning gold is risk free, except that when you own gold in a gold-backed ETF, there are quite significant annual holding costs. We have gold. It’s in the ground. It’s very accessible. Somebody could go ahead and mine it. We could… But I see the sense in not building it, because the gold is there — it’s high-quality gold in the ground at a lower holding cost, given our very efficient use of capital… It’s actually cheaper to hold gold in the ground in Hasbrouck than in a gold-backed ETF on an annual basis.” Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and Sandy McVey, CEO and COO of West Vault Mining, for a conversation on de-risking development, gold market dynamics, and long-term value creation.

AUSTIN, Texas, October 10, 2025 – via IBN – NetworkNewsAudio announces the Audio Press Release (APR) titled “When the Dollar Blinks, Real Assets Take Center Stage,” featuring ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF).  To hear the NetworkNewsAudio version, visit https://nnw.fm/cn51y. To read the original editorial, visit https://nnw.fm/qBk0h. Market positioning and flows have already changed. Miners-focused ETFs and equity baskets saw large inflows earlier in the cycle and have remained a vector for investor exposure even as flows have rotated between metal ETFs and miners’ ETFs. Strategists note that miner earnings power and price-to-NAV multiples remain a focal point for rerating discussions among institutional investors. The re-emergence of gold and silver as portfolio hedges and speculative banks for inflation/FX risk has put a premium on companies that can demonstrate near-term production and low capital dilution.  ESGold Corp. is an example of the kind of company that can benefit from this macro setup. ESGold’s strategy centers on a tailings-first approach with Montauban in Quebec as the primary near-term development, designed to generate low-capex, high-margin cash flow early. That business model reduces the typical capital drag that delays value capture and lowers dilution risk, two attributes the market rewards in a rising metals cycle.   About ESGold Corp. ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is a fully permitted, preproduction resource company at the forefront of clean mining and exploration innovation. With proven expertise in Quebec, the company is advancing its projects toward production and feasibility while delivering long-term value through sustainable resource recovery and exploration. ESGold’s flagship Montauban property, located 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, serves as a model for responsible mining practices, combining near-term production with district-scale discovery potential.  For more information about the company, please visit ESGold Profile.

To hear the NetworkNewsAudio version, visit https://nnw.fm/sfVDE To read the original editorial, visit https://nnw.fm/dyWlA LaFleur’s flagship Swanson Gold Project is an advanced exploration-stage asset with significant upside. Located near Abitibi’s prolific gold operations, Swanson has more than 36,000 meters of historic drilling and a current mineral resource estimate of 123.4 Koz Au Indicated and 64.5 Koz Au Inferred, with strong potential to increase resources beyond one million ounces.

The project’s exploration potential is supported by multiple gold-bearing regional structures and opportunities to expand the known resource base. LaFleur’s land package has grown steadily, more than three times since its acquisition, and the company continues to consolidate claims in the area to create a district-scale exploration play. This approach is designed to maximize resource potential while leveraging the nearby Beacon Gold Mill, giving LaFleur the ability to fast-track production once sufficient resources are proven. About LaFleur Minerals Inc. LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) is focused on the development of district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d’Or, Québec. The company’s mission is to advance mining projects with a laser focus on its resource-stage Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill, which have significant potential to deliver long-term value. The Swanson Gold Project is approximately 16,600 hectares (166 km2) in size and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines and Globex Mining. LaFleur has recently consolidated a large land package along a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec and Jolin gold deposits and several other showings that make up the Swanson Gold Project. The Swanson Gold Project is easily accessible by road with a rail line running through the property allowing direct access to several nearby gold mills, further enhancing its development potential. Lafleur Minerals’ fully refurbished and permitted Beacon Gold Mill is capable of processing more than 750 tonnes per day and is being considered for processing mineralized material at Swanson and for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects.

AUSTIN, Texas, September 9, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Tony Giardini, President and CEO of Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ), a North American mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing high-grade copper and critical mineral assets in Alaska. To begin the interview, Giardini provided an overview of Trilogy’s mission and projects in Alaska. “Trilogy Metals is focused on a number of critical metals. We have two large exploration deposits in the great state of Alaska. One is a polymetallic deposit called Arctic… Then we have an advanced-stage exploration project called Bornite, which is a copper-cobalt deposit… The real story for us is about the exploration potential in the district and the opportunities that we have there.” He went on to discuss Trilogy’s strategy in partnership with South32, highlighting the capital allocation approach between the Arctic and Bornite projects. “Australia-based South32 is a large multinational that contributed $145 million to create a 50/50 JV on the district. In addition to that, they invested $30 million in exploration spending, plus they own 11% of Trilogy outright. We look at that as validation of what we have up in the Ambler Mining District, because they’ve done their due diligence on the opportunities and upside. It’s really about how we move things forward… We have advanced engineering studies done at the JV level on the Arctic project, and we’re at the cusp of starting the actual mine permitting process... which we hope will happen in the near term.” Giardini also shared insights into how Trilogy is positioning its projects amid growing demand for domestic critical minerals. “The U.S. has really designated… copper, zinc and recently lead and silver as critical metals. So, we see those as being very important to U.S. domestic supply considerations, and we think there’s an opportunity to bring this project forward at a critical time… When we look at a deposit like ours—whether Arctic or Bornite—we see that it has the potential to provide domestic sources of these critical metals to the U.S. economy.” Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and Tony Giardini, President and CEO of Trilogy Metals, for a conversation on unlocking Alaska’s copper resources, advancing strategic partnerships, and fueling America’s critical minerals supply chain.

On December 19, 2019, South32, a globally diversified mining and metals company, exercised its option to form a 50/50 joint venture with Trilogy. The UKMP is located within the Ambler Mining District which is one of the richest and most-prospective known copper-dominant districts in the world. It hosts world-class polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposits that contain copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver, and carbonate replacement deposits which have been found to host high-grade copper and cobalt mineralization. Exploration efforts have been focused on two deposits in the Ambler Mining District – the Arctic VMS deposit and the Bornite carbonate replacement deposit. Both deposits are located within a land package that spans approximately 190,929 hectares. Ambler Metals has an agreement with NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., an Alaska Native Corporation that provides a framework for the exploration and potential development of the Ambler Mining District in cooperation with local communities. Trilogy's vision is to develop the Ambler Mining District into a premier North American copper producer while protecting and respecting subsistence livelihoods.

One is a polymetallic deposit called Arctic… Then we have an advanced-stage exploration project called Bornite, which is a copper-cobalt deposit… The real story for us is about the exploration potential in the district and the opportunities that we have there.” He went on to discuss Trilogy’s strategy in partnership with South32, highlighting the capital allocation approach between the Arctic and Bornite projects. “Australia-based South32 is a large multinational that contributed $145 million to create a 50/50 JV on the district. In addition to that, they invested $30 million in exploration spending, plus they own 11% of Trilogy outright. We look at that as validation of what we have up in the Ambler Mining District, because they’ve done their due diligence on the opportunities and upside. It’s really about how we move things forward… We have advanced engineering studies done at the JV level on the Arctic project, and we’re at the cusp of starting the actual mine permitting process... which we hope will happen in the near term.” Giardini also shared insights into how Trilogy is positioning its projects amid growing demand for domestic critical minerals. “The U.S. has really designated… copper, zinc and recently lead and silver as critical metals. So, we see those as being very important to U.S. domestic supply considerations, and we think there’s an opportunity to bring this project forward at a critical time… When we look at a deposit like ours—whether Arctic or Bornite—we see that it has the potential to provide domestic sources of these critical metals to the U.S. economy.” Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and Tony Giardini, President and CEO of Trilogy Metals, for a conversation on unlocking Alaska’s copper resources, advancing strategic partnerships, and fueling America’s critical minerals supply chain.

On December 19, 2019, South32, a globally diversified mining and metals company, exercised its option to form a 50/50 joint venture with Trilogy. The UKMP is located within the Ambler Mining District which is one of the richest and most-prospective known copper-dominant districts in the world. It hosts world-class polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposits that contain copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver, and carbonate replacement deposits which have been found to host high-grade copper and cobalt mineralization. Exploration efforts have been focused on two deposits in the Ambler Mining District – the Arctic VMS deposit and the Bornite carbonate replacement deposit. Both deposits are located within a land package that spans approximately 190,929 hectares. Ambler Metals has an agreement with NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., an Alaska Native Corporation that provides a framework for the exploration and potential development of the Ambler Mining District in cooperation with local communities.

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: In one of South America’s most prolific gold belts, centuries of mining have left behind massive tailings piles, discarded material that, despite being overlooked for generations, still contains significant quantities of gold and silver. These legacy remnants represent both an environmental challenge and an untapped resource, as modern recovery techniques reveal just how much value remains locked within them. ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile) is at the forefront of addressing this opportunity in Colombia, where its newly announced, fully permitted joint venture in Bolívar highlights how advanced processing technology can transform mine waste into scalable, high-margin production. By mining responsibly, ESGold is not only unlocking hidden wealth but also turning environmental liabilities into sustainable growth. ESGold joins an impressive group of mineral miners — including Newmont Corp. (NYSE: NEM), Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B),  Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV) and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE: AEM) — that are strengthening their positions in the global mining sector through strategic planning and the use of responsible, innovative technology. ESGold Corp.’s joint venture with Planta Magdalena S.A.S. in Colombia represents the company’s strategic planning in the mining-rich country. The sampling program conducted across the Bolívar tailings sector has yielded results that underscore the significant value potential of this strategic partnership. The inefficient recovery rate creates a unique opportunity for modern processing technology to capture precious metals that have been historically left behind. The Bolívar JV marks ESGold’s first expansion of its scalable tailings to cash flow model beyond Québec, a key test case for replicating the approach across multiple jurisdictions. ESGold's approach to tailings reprocessing delivers tangible environmental benefits that extend far beyond traditional mining operations.

AUSTIN, Texas, August 7, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Pat Ryan, P.Eng., Chairman and CEO of Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF), a critical metals technology company developing scalable rare earth element (“REE”) refining infrastructure in North America. To begin the interview, Ryan explained how his background helped shape Ucore’s mission. “As I looked more closely at the supply chains for electric vehicles, I realized there are no metallic supply chains to feed these particular vehicles. I was a board member of Ucore at that time… and encouraged the board to look at actually building manufacturing plants, processing, and moving forward… Rare earth is just another market, but a very new one, and it needs a 21st-century digital manufacturing approach.” He then detailed how Ucore’s refining platform gained validation from the U.S. government. “The U.S. DoD put a bid out… to find the technology for processing and refining in the mid-market, something that’s very competitive. We had a $4 million U.S. contract to run our commercial demonstration plant using multiple feedstocks… generating heavy and light rare earth products and running thousands of hours. The DoD came to our Kingston plant and to central Louisiana, where we’re essentially doing a copy and paste of Kingston, and they really liked what they saw… They invested $18.4 million in mid-May, and by the end of May, we had a groundbreaking in Louisiana.” Finally, he described how Ucore is transitioning from early-stage discussions to integrated commercial partnerships, with direct involvement from the U.S. Department of Defense. “We have an MOU. Now, we’re moving to definitive agreements. Not just one-off transactions, but multiple-prong opportunities to bring supply back to the Western world. We’re putting those building blocks together to create definitive partnerships that allow us to get the job done very effectively. We continue to discuss with DoD on a biweekly basis… what the next part of their journey looks like.” Join IBN’s Stuart Smith and Pat Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ucore Rare Metals, for a conversation on rebuilding rare earth infrastructure, advancing digital refining, and leading the Western critical minerals race.

The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Lon Shaver, President of Silvercorp Metals Inc. (NYSE American: SVM) (TSX: SVM), a Canadian mining company producing silver, gold, lead, and zinc, with a long history of profitability and growth. During the interview, Shaver shared how Silvercorp is evolving beyond its silver-focused roots into a diversified, multi-asset producer. “We’re a growth company in transition. Our recent acquisition brought us into Ecuador, and we remain very active in pursuing new opportunities to grow the company and expand our asset base… We really like to deliver for our shareholders — to be a multi-asset, multi-jurisdiction company within a couple of years.” He went on to explain the financial strategy behind Silvercorp’s current expansion efforts. “The roughly $240 million in capital estimated for El Domo… $175 [million] of that will be funded by Wheaton. There’s a stream arrangement in place… The balance — $75 million — we can easily fund that out of cash on hand. So, that will allow us to continue to look at new targets for growth as well as pay our dividend, which arguably is a bit symbolic at present… but it’s really meant to show that good times and bad in the silver market, we intend to give our shareholders a return on their investment.” Shaver also emphasized what sets the company apart from peers in the sector. “In addition to being a good operator and a consistent operator with a long track record… we’ve shown through our M&A efforts really a good nose for surfacing value. We’ve seen a number of targets that we thought were good acquisition targets. We didn’t always get them because we didn’t chase them and overpay, but I think we’ve done a good job at finding good opportunities and trying to bring them into the company for our shareholders.” Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and Lon Shaver, President of Silvercorp Metals, for a conversation on building a multi-asset portfolio, managing capital efficiency, and delivering value across cycles.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 24, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Chairman Kal Malhi and CEO Paul Ténière of LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF), a Canadian exploration and development company focused on gold assets in Québec’s Abitibi region. To begin the interview, Ténière outlined LaFleur Minerals’ strategy as a near-term gold producer. “We’re an interesting company in the fact that we have an advanced gold project in Québec’s Abitibi Gold Belt and a nearby permitted mill,” he said. “That puts us in a strong position as a near-term gold producer.” Malhi, who is also the founder of Bullrun Capital, then detailed how LaFleur acquired its flagship assets and how the company is positioned for rapid development. “Two years ago, I started looking at the opportunities in the gold mining sector. I didn’t want to go and acquire a grassroots project… but I did come across a bankruptcy,” he explained. “We were able to win a bid on the Beacon Gold Mill, which Monarch had invested $20 million into upgrading. It’s fully permitted and ready to rock. We also acquired a nearby gold deposit called the Swanson Gold Deposit… We’ve turned that project into LaFleur Minerals. Now, with gold prices surging, the economics have changed phenomenally — and we may look at producing not just from our own property, but also from others in the region.” Ténière closed by emphasizing LaFleur’s accelerated timeline and production-ready infrastructure. “We have a mining lease at Swanson, which allows us to get into production much faster than we could otherwise,” he said. “With gold hitting over $3,000 an ounce, it makes a lot of these deposits very economically viable… It’s an exciting time to be in gold, and we’re in a great position to move quickly.” Join IBN’s Stuart Smith for a conversation with LaFleur Minerals Chairman Kal Malhi and CEO Paul Ténière on restarting gold production in Québec, scaling a district-scale asset, and accelerating into the gold producer category.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 24, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Chairman Kal Malhi and CEO Paul Ténière of LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF), a Canadian exploration and development company focused on gold assets in Québec’s Abitibi region. To begin the interview, Ténière outlined LaFleur Minerals’ strategy as a near-term gold producer. “We’re an interesting company in the fact that we have an advanced gold project in Québec’s Abitibi Gold Belt and a nearby permitted mill,” he said. “That puts us in a strong position as a near-term gold producer.” Malhi, who is also the founder of Bullrun Capital, then detailed how LaFleur acquired its flagship assets and how the company is positioned for rapid development. “Two years ago, I started looking at the opportunities in the gold mining sector. I didn’t want to go and acquire a grassroots project… but I did come across a bankruptcy,” he explained. “We were able to win a bid on the Beacon Gold Mill, which Monarch had invested $20 million into upgrading. It’s fully permitted and ready to rock. We also acquired a nearby gold deposit called the Swanson Gold Deposit… We’ve turned that project into LaFleur Minerals. Now, with gold prices surging, the economics have changed phenomenally — and we may look at producing not just from our own property, but also from others in the region.” Ténière closed by emphasizing LaFleur’s accelerated timeline and production-ready infrastructure. “We have a mining lease at Swanson, which allows us to get into production much faster than we could otherwise,” he said. “With gold hitting over $3,000 an ounce, it makes a lot of these deposits very economically viable… It’s an exciting time to be in gold, and we’re in a great position to move quickly.” Join IBN’s Stuart Smith for a conversation with LaFleur Minerals Chairman Kal Malhi and CEO Paul Ténière on restarting gold production in Québec, scaling a district-scale asset, and accelerating into the gold producer category.

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: For decades, mining has been defined by high-risk, high-capex exploration, where success hinges on one-in-a-thousand discoveries. Most juniors never reach production. Investors face dilution. Timelines stretch into decades. Most mining companies are uninvestable at scale because they are capital destroyers, cyclical and heavy capex, with high permitting and execution risk. ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile) is challenging that model. Instead of chasing theory, ESGold is redeveloping past-producing or legacy mine sites — sites with known volumes, historical grades and existing infrastructure. These are assets left behind not because they were depleted or economically unviable but because previous owners and operators lacked the resources and technology to develop them. With gold at an all-time high and demand for all types of minerals booming, now is the time for companies with the experience, insight and capital to position themselves in a market where potential has never been more promising and Wall Street has never been more interested. ESGold joins an elite group of mineral miners,  including BHP Group Ltd. (NYSE: BHP), Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: GOLD), Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV) and Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: KGC) that are leveraging their expertise to make the most of this golden opportunity. For investors, bullion isn’t enough — Wall Street wants leverage, scalability and cash flow. ESGold has developed a highly scalable, repeatable cash‑flow model that begins with low‑cost, low‑footprint tailings reprocessing and leverages the proceeds to fuel exploration and acquisition of legacy projects. The company has demonstrated proven execution and robust platform potential, leveraging clean processing and environmental remediation. ESGold’s Montauban Project is now fully permitted and firmly under construction, marking a major milestone in the company's evolution from exploration to near-term production. ESGold’s newly appointed CEO brings a compelling blend of finance expertise and resource-sector acumen to guide the company into its production and expansion phase.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 15, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Kimberly Ann, Founder, CEO, President & Executive Chair of Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF), a Canadian mine development and exploration company advancing a portfolio of gold and silver assets in Nevada’s Walker Lane, one of the world’s most productive and mining-friendly regions. To begin the interview, Ann outlined Lahontan Gold’s mission and strategic approach in Nevada’s Walker Lane. “At Lahontan Gold, we’re doing something so special,” she said. “I have a very extensive background in running successful businesses across the board, and this one is just a perfect storm of great assets, the best jurisdiction in the world, and the best timing with our new administration that’s so pro-mining. Gold is finally on the critical metals list, and we have a past producer — perfect asset — that I’m so excited to tell everybody about.” Ann went on to describe the Santa Fe Mine’s history and potential. “The Santa Fe mine was a past producer from 1988 to 1994, open-pit style heap leach. It’s the lowest cost style of operation you can have. It shut down from pure economics, because gold was at $340. They left a lot of gold and silver in the ground,” she explained. “Right now, we have 2 million ounces that we’re reporting to the world. We obviously have a lot more internally that we’re working on, but really, it’s a very simple story in that we have enough to have a mine again now, and we’re fast-tracking it.” She also emphasized her business-first mindset and the importance of focusing on outcomes. “I’m not emotional about it. I’m not in love with the project. I’m not thinking of anything but making money and making the company successful,” she added. “I have a unique perspective in that, yes, I understand the geology. Yes, I understand the engineering background. But, more importantly, I understand the business and how to get to the finish line.” Join IBN’s Stuart Smith and Kimberly Ann, Founder, CEO, President & Executive Chair of Lahontan Gold, for a discussion on unlocking the potential of past-producing mines, leveraging Nevada’s mining advantages, and driving shareholder-focused growth.
