WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWCertification secured, enabling global shipment of HPQ's ENDURA+ lithium-ion battery cellsProduction capacity targeted at up to 1.5 million batteries per yearBattery samples delivered to prospective customers, with active commercial discussions underwayInitial battery revenue targeted for early 2026HPQ Silicon is moving from laboratory validation to real-world commercialization at a pace few early-stage battery companies achieve. CEO Bernard Tourillon outlines how a critical regulatory milestone, early customer engagement, and federal backing are converging to open near-term revenue pathways for the company's silicon-enhanced lithium-ion batteries.“Projects like HPQ Silicon's strengthen Canada's ability to manufacture components for high-performance batteries, and are creating a world-class battery ecosystem. ” – The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural ResourcesHPQ recently secured UN38.3 certification for its ENDURA+ 18650 and 21700 lithium-ion cells. For investors, this is not a technical footnote. UN38.3 is the global safety standard required to ship lithium batteries by air, sea, or land. Without it, commercial sales at scale are impossible.Tourillon explains that this certification clears what he calls “the logistical barrier,” allowing HPQ to move from limited sampling to meaningful customer orders and global distribution.“On our first full test run, we had no issues at all. That gives a very high level of confidence that our battery infrastructure is doing things the right way.”With certification secured, HPQ now has the ability to ship batteries in volume and support customer testing programs that lead to production orders. Management has confirmed current manufacturing capacity of approximately 1.5 million cells per year, a meaningful starting point for niche but fast-growing markets.Key commercialization signals discussed in the interview include:Battery samples already shipped to potential customersActive discussions underway with multiple prospective buyersAt least one strategic customer described as “very close” to initial ordersManagement targeting the start of battery-related revenue in early 2026Tourillon emphasized that certification timing was deliberate. Rather than rushing to market, HPQ chose to fully validate safety and quality, reducing the risk of recalls or failures that have derailed competitors.HPQ is not chasing mass-market commodity batteries. Instead, it is targeting applications where performance, longevity, and supply-chain security matter most.Discussed end markets include:E-bikes and electric mobilityDrones and specialized industrial equipmentHandheld and professional-grade power toolsStationary energy storage systems using 18650 and 21700 cellsA recurring theme in the discussion was growing interest from customers seeking non-Chinese battery supply. According to Tourillon, geopolitical risk and supply-chain concentration are driving new conversations that did not exist even two years ago.One of the more important insights for investors was HPQ's shift toward selling finished batteries rather than only supplying silicon-based anode material. Tourillon noted that margins on battery cells are expected to exceed those achievable by selling materials alone.In simple terms, HPQ captures more value by controlling the final product while keeping the option open to partner with larger manufacturers in the future.HPQ's progress is reinforced by up to $3 million in Canadian federal funding to support battery manufacturing infrastructure. Management views this as both validation and leverage, enabling the company to pursue a hybrid strategy: selling batteries directly today while retaining flexibility to license materials or partner at scale later.

Fobi AI CEO Rob Anson outlines how the company has progressed from internal restructuring to early commercial validation, marked by the live deployment of FIXYR, its first autonomous enterprise support platform. While operating under regulatory constraints, management continued executing on its strategy, preserving revenue, materially reducing costs through Artificial Intelligence automation, and moving from internal transformation to externally validated use cases.The interview presents a business that differs meaningfully from the one investors last evaluated. Rather than pausing during a period of restricted trading, the focus remained on strengthening the company's financial profile, advancing its technology stack, and building deployable Artificial Intelligence systems designed to deliver clear, measurable value for enterprise customers.EXECUTION THROUGH CONSTRAINT, NOT PAUSEA central theme of the discussion is how Fobi maintained momentum during a period of limited market visibility. In 2024, the company generated nearly $3 million in revenue while management reports annual operating costs were reduced to approximately $1.1 million through deeper integration of Artificial Intelligence across internal operations. This leaner cost structure materially improves operating leverage and positions the business for scalable growth as activity normalizes.Fobi recently announced a $1.5 million non-brokered private placement to support audit completion and regulatory requirements. Management indicated that the audit process is nearing completion, positioning the company for a full revocation order, relisting, and a return to normal trading.Fobi AI 3.0: FROM ADVISORY TO DEPLOYED SYSTEMSThe interview marks the company's transition to what management describes as Fobi AI 3.0. Rather than operating primarily as a consultant, Fobi now delivers both the strategic architecture and the deployed Artificial Intelligence systems themselves. This integrated model is designed to reduce implementation risk, shorten deployment timelines, and lower total cost of ownership for enterprise customers.A key differentiator highlighted is Fobi's emphasis on building and training proprietary Artificial Intelligence models, rather than relying exclusively on third-party platforms. This focus on data control and sovereignty directly addresses a major adoption consideration for regulated, privacy-sensitive, and enterprise-scale organizations.FIXYR: EARLY COMMERCIAL VALIDATIONAt the center of the discussion is FIXYR, Fobi AI's autonomous Artificial Intelligence customer service and technical support platform. FIXYR is designed to automate labor-intensive support workflows through real-time, self-resolving processes.In its initial large-scale live deployment, management reported that FIXYR processed more than 20,000 digital tickets, handled over 200 customer inquiries, maintained reported 100 percent system uptime, achieved reported 100 percent customer satisfaction, and operated with no frontline human intervention.Management noted that this deployment replaced the workload equivalent of a support operation of approximately 35 staff, translating into roughly 90 percent cost savings for the operator. For investors, FIXYR represents a meaningful step from concept to early, measurable return on investment.BUILT FOR RELIABILITY, CONTROL, AND REPEATABILITYBeyond FIXYR, Fobi emphasized its broader Artificial Intelligence infrastructure, designed for reliability and repeatability in enterprise environments. By training proprietary models in-house and using simulation-driven development to test outcomes prior to deployment, the company aims to reduce execution risk while improving consistency.This approach is particularly relevant for regulated industries where data governance, auditability, and operational certainty are critical to adoption.

What You Need To Know:First prototype targeted for Q3–Q4 2026, with subsystems already operationalPlanned output of ~20 kg of hydrogen/day, enough to power 10 homes or 80–100 drone flights dailyStrong probability of grant funding to build the first full-scale systemPre-order demand expected as demonstrations roll outHPQ holds exclusive North American commercialization rightsHere's how HPQ is positioning METAGENE™ as a cost-effective, transport-free hydrogen solution for high-value remote and defense markets.HPQ Silicon and its affiliate Novacium are moving closer to a breakthrough in decentralized clean power: hydrogen generated on-site without electricity, storage tanks, or hazardous transport. The METAGENE™ system converts an aluminum–silicon block into hydrogen at the point of use, addressing the sector's largest economic constraint — hydrogen becomes uneconomical once transported more than 200 kilometers from the production source.By eliminating transport entirely, METAGENE™ can deliver hydrogen at significantly lower cost, with internal analysis suggesting potential savings of up to 50% in remote regions.HPQ's collaboration with AD-VENTA adds further acceleration. Instead of developing compressors and high-pressure modules internally, HPQ will integrate its reactors directly into AD-VENTA's existing hydrogen station platform, reducing engineering time and technical risk.METAGENE™ is built for environments where traditional hydrogen supply chains fail — either due to cost, safety, or regulatory restrictions. Defense applications, particularly long-endurance hydrogen-powered drones, represent HPQ's first and most active commercialization lane. Pressurized hydrogen cannot be flown into these locations, but METAGENE™ can be deployed safely, on-site, and on demand.Expected output of 20 kg/day translates to roughly 400 kilowatt hours of electricity when paired with high-efficiency fuel cells. This is enough to power remote medical stations, military installations, or high-volume drone operations used in pipeline and high-voltage grid inspections. These are markets where reliable, clean, long-duration energy is both scarce and expensive.HPQ's progress is reinforced by independent validation from AD-VENTA's CEO, Jean-Luc Mussot, who reviewed the system before entering the partnership:“It represents an important advancement for decentralized high-pressure hydrogen production, especially in off-grid environments where heavy infrastructure is impractical.”For investors, third-party technical endorsement strengthens confidence in the system's viability as HPQ approaches the commercialization phase.HPQ reports that the METAGENE™ reactor design is complete, and integration with AD-VENTA is underway. A commercial prototype is scheduled for Q3–Q4 2026, supported by expected grant funding. The company anticipates that pre-orders — particularly from drone, defense, and remote industrial operators — may begin once the demonstration unit is unveiled.An explainer video is planned for early 2026 to support outreach at major mining and technology events, including the PDAC conference, where HPQ intends to showcase concept demonstrations and early proof-of-performance footage.With a clear development timeline, demonstrated cost advantages, and multiple high-value markets demanding alternatives to traditional hydrogen transport, HPQ is positioning METAGENE™ as a practical solution to longstanding energy challenges. The ability to pair on-demand hydrogen generation with AD-VENTA's proven high-pressure infrastructure gives HPQ a credible and accelerated path toward commercialization — and a compelling case for investor attention as the technology moves toward market entry.A NEW APPROACH TO REMOTE ENERGY GENERATIONWHY THIS MATTERS FOR EMERGING COMMERCIAL MARKETSVALIDATION FROM A HYDROGEN INDUSTRY EXPERTMILESTONES AND THE PATH TO MARKETTHE OUTLOOK: A TECHNOLOGY APPROACHING INFLECTION

Key performance drivers discussed:Total revenue: CAD $5.13M, up 60% vs. Q3 2024Gross profit: CAD $2.6M, up 48% vs. Q3 2024Deeper direct relationships with global brands and agenciesGrowing demand for custom creative advertising inside mobile gamesKIDOZ has emerged as a standout performer in the small cap adtech landscape. The company operates a global in-app advertising network that reaches hundreds of millions of users each month across mobile games, a channel increasingly favored by many of the world's best-known brands seeking privacy-safe, high-engagement environments. Revenue has expanded steadily over the past several years, rising from $1.9 million in 2017 to $19.2 million in 2024. Its latest quarter reinforces that momentum, with Q3 revenue up 60 percent year over year to a record CAD $5.13 million, supported by meaningful improvements in gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA.The discussion highlights a company not only growing, but doing so with operational discipline. CEO Jason Williams explains how multiple client verticals — from toys and entertainment to fast-food and broader consumer brands — drove performance as advertisers expanded budgets and sought more creative, measurable placements inside games.HOW KIDOZ CAPTURED ITS STRONGEST QUARTER YETKIDOZ's ad-delivery system now powers tens of thousands of mobile apps and is certified by Apple and Google, giving it an advantage as global privacy standards tighten. The platform continues to attract larger, more frequent campaigns from major brands that require certainty around placement quality and performance.A major contributor this quarter was the company's shift toward more direct relationships with agencies and major advertisers. These partnerships are enabling KIDOZ to secure bigger spend commitments and deliver custom creative units that command premium value.“The system today can handle multiples of our annual revenue — now the focus is bringing in the clients to match that capacity,” CEO Jason Williams notes, underscoring the company's readiness for commercial scale.TAILWINDS TRANSFORMING THE MARKETSeveral structural trends are reshaping digital advertising in KIDOZ's favor. AI is disrupting the open web, pushing advertisers to reallocate budgets into in-app environments where content is protected, attention is active, and performance is more predictable. At the same time, new regulatory proposals restricting social-media use for teens could shift even more screen time toward mobile gaming — a segment where KIDOZ already holds deep penetration.POSITIONED FOR A STRONG FINISH AND A STRONGER 2026KIDOZ invested ahead of Q4 to ensure system capacity for the industry's busiest advertising season. With infrastructure now in place, the company is focused on scaling its client base across additional verticals and capturing recurring brand budgets throughout the year, not just during peak cycles.As advertisers seek brand-safe environments with measurable engagement, KIDOZ is becoming increasingly relevant. Its technology, relationships, and market tailwinds align at a moment when global advertisers are actively searching for new high-performance channels.With record results, expanding partnerships, and a market shifting toward its core strengths, KIDOZ enters the next phase of its growth story with momentum and clear visibility into long-term opportunity.

Instead of losing momentum, the company concentrated on building a stronger, more scalable foundation for its next phase of growth.Fobi has transitioned from a collection of standalone technologies into a professional-services-driven platform built around AI-powered reporting, mobile wallet strategy, and Web3-ready applications.REINVENTION THROUGH COST DISCIPLINE AND AI INFRASTRUCTUREA major theme is how Fobi used this period to reset its cost base and refine its revenue model. The company narrowed its operational footprint, strengthened its data-reporting capabilities, and moved toward higher-margin service engagements supported by a proprietary LLM environment that accelerates internal analyses and client delivery.A significant step involved optimizing the audit process to improve efficiency and predictability. Audit expenses had previously exceeded $1 million over two years, and the transition to a new auditor is expected to create a more streamlined path forward.“We've put ourselves in a far more efficient position than we've ever been in — and at a fraction of the cost.” — Rob Anson, CEOEARLY SIGNS OF COMMERCIAL MOMENTUMWhile limited in what it can disclose, Anson indicates that the business continued progressing throughout 2025. Several dynamics appear to be strengthening Fobi's market position:• Growing demand from enterprises seeking mobile wallet integration and data modernization • Increased use of Fobi's AI-driven reporting automation • Rising joint-venture discussions combining licensing, IP, and professional services • A more scalable cost structure supported by a leaner operating modelPREPARING FOR A STRATEGIC MARKET RE-ENTRYWith major internal milestones nearing completion, Fobi has a full brand refresh ready — including updated products, corporate materials, and new client use cases — to deploy once the company is able to communicate more broadly. Many shareholders have not yet seen how extensively the business has transformed.OUTLOOK: A LEANER, MORE FOCUSED ENTERPRISE SOLUTION PROVIDERFor investors evaluating turnaround narratives, the interview highlights decisive cost management, proprietary AI infrastructure, a pivot toward professional services, and continued commercial activity. As the company completes its remaining steps and begins its next phase, Fobi is positioning itself with a stronger foundation for long-term enterprise growth.

When a company proves it can do what's never been done before - producing commercial-grade fumed silica directly from quartz in a single step - it marks a seismic shift in a century-old industry. HPQ Silicon (TSX-V: HPQ / OTCQB: HPQFF) has just crossed that line, confirming independent pilot-scale validation of its breakthrough plasma process.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW • Binary ON: HPQ replicated McGill-verified lab results at pilot scale — confirming commercial-grade purity and surface area. • Industry Validation: An LOI remains active with the largest fumed silica manufacturer in the world to evaluate pilot samples. • Commercial Stage Begins: Independent results open the door to direct engagement with multiple industrial buyers under NDA. • Canadian Advantage: Positioned to capture up to 50% of Canada's $200M market, which currently imports 100% of its supply. • High-Margin Economics: Targeting ~70% gross profit margins on a market-priced product ($5K–$6K/ton).STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSFor decades, the global fumed silica industry — valued in the billions — has relied on a fossil-fuel-intensive process that's toxic and expensive. HPQ's one-step, plasma-based system eliminates hydrogen chloride, slashes CO₂ by 84%, and reduces energy use by 87%.With federal and Québec government support funding two-thirds of its pilot costs, HPQ is now transitioning from R&D to commercialization — a rare pivot point where innovation meets execution.CEO BERNARD TOURILLON:“This is a massive milestone. We've replicated our lab results at pilot scale — a world first. That means we can now move from saying ‘we will' to ‘we have,' and start direct commercial discussions.”INVESTOR TAKEAWAYHPQ Silicon has achieved what legacy players could not: proven scalability, independent validation, and a clean, cost-efficient pathway to domestic production. With major industry interest, government alignment, and multiple verticals advancing in parallel, HPQ isn't just innovating — it's redefining how fumed silica will be made and monetized in the clean-tech era.

Management says the high-grade zones are open in all directions, supporting growth and potential conversion of ounces to higher confidence categories.ATEX Resources — Record copper-gold hit kicks off Phase VI in Chile ATEX's first Phase VI hole at Valeriano delivered its best intercept to date: 164m @ 2.72% CuEq, including 40m @ 4.73% CuEq, within a broader 528m @ 1.32% CuEq. Six rigs are active in a ~25,000m program targeting B2B Zone expansion and new B2B-style discoveries. Some assays remain pending, but results suggest potential grade upgrades and a starter operation concept.GreenLight Metals (TSXV: GRL) — High-grade copper-gold in Wisconsin + winter drill next GreenLight reported a standout 22.24m @ 3.02 g/t Au & 2.03% Cu (5.27% CuEq) at the Bend VMS deposit, with visible gold at 290m.

“We're months away, not years, from producing in the highest gold market we've ever seen.” CEO Gordon RobbWith gold trading above US$4,200 per ounce, ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU | OTCQB: ESAUF) is positioning itself to become Canada's next gold producer. Its Montauban Gold-Silver Project, located 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, is nearing completion and is anticipated to begin production by Q2 2026. What differentiates ESGold is a low-capex, high-margin model built on reclaiming value from historic mining tailings — turning environmental liabilities into profitable opportunities.“We're months away, not years, from producing in the highest gold market we've ever seen,” said CEO Gordon Robb, emphasizing the company's readiness to capitalize on current market conditions.ESGold's progress is anchored by a robust financial framework and a strategic partnership with Ocean Partners, a global metals trading firm.$9 million non-dilutive financing to fund both initial and expanded production phases (500 to 1,000 tons per day).Over $15 million invested in infrastructure, including a new gold room and laboratory now nearing completion.Payback period under two years, based on conservative assumptions of US$2,900 gold and US$32 silver—well below current prices.As Robb noted, “They want the material — their success is tied to our success.”ESGold's clean mining model focuses on reprocessing historic tailings, extracting residual gold and silver while neutralizing contaminants and rehabilitating the land. The result: profitable operations that also deliver measurable environmental benefit.The company's Montauban project serves as a proof of concept for a scalable platform. ESGold is currently conducting due diligence on a second opportunity in Colombia, reinforcing its plan to expand this model globally.Upon reaching production, ESGold will be among the few small cap miners delivering both immediate revenue and exploration upside - processing gold while drilling beneath its existing footprint.With record-high metal prices, strong partnerships, and a self-funded growth path, ESGold stands at the intersection of sustainability, scalability, and profitability in the modern mining era.Watch the full interview with CEO Gordon Robb to learn how ESGold is redefining what it means to be a 21st-century gold producer.A COMPANY ON THE CUSP OF CASH FLOWSTRATEGIC FINANCING & PARTNERSHIPSCLEAN MINING FOR A MODERN ERAOUTLOOK: FROM QUEBEC TO THE WORLD
