AGORACOM Small Cap CEO Interviews

Fobi AI CEO Rob Anson outlines how the company maintained operational progress during the past year, streamlining its structure, modernizing internal systems with AI, reducing costs, and preparing for a more commercially focused relaunch. 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.

“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

A RARE COMEBACK STORYIn a market where most halted small-cap companies never return, Fobi AI has defied expectations. Under a cease-trade order since November 2024, the company didn't fade into obscurity—the company reported nearly $3 million in 2024 revenue, including approximately $2.2 million from the sale of its German subsidiary. As CEO Rob Anson put it: “Most companies would have folded under these circumstances. We fought through every obstacle legal, financial, and market-driven and we're coming back stronger than ever.”FROM SURVIVAL TO STRATEGYFobi turned a year of constraint into a year of transformation: Consolidated operations with an annual run rate under $1.3M, enabling scale with fewer than 10 employees Redirected capital from the Passcreator sale into next-gen AI-powered wallet platforms Positioned itself as a lean, execution-first company with live products in the marketENTERING A MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR ARENAThe company isn't merely returning, it's relaunching with sharper focus. Fobi's ambition is to become the “Deloitte of the AI + Web3 era,” offering enterprises not just strategy, but real-time implementation through integrated wallets, identity verification, and automation platforms. With applications across stadiums, airports, healthcare, and finance, the addressable market spans multiple sectors.WHY THIS MATTERS FOR INVESTORSClear Market Fit: Enterprise clients need AI integration that traditional consultants can't deliver Execution Edge: Products are live, scalable, and already generating client interestLOOKING AHEADFobi's comeback is more than a return to trading—it is a reset. With tangible revenues, streamlined operations, and a future-focused product suite, the company is positioning itself as one of the rare small-cap survivors with the potential to thrive in the AI and Web3 economy. For investors, this represents a strategic reset rather than just a recovery, as the company builds toward its next growth phase.

LEADERSHIP WITH SKIN IN THE GAMEIn an environment where CEOs of public companies are often urged to “show leadership” by investing personally, PyroGenesis (TSX: PYR | OTCQX: PYRGF) is setting a rare benchmark for a small or micro-cap company. In this interview, CEO Peter Pascali discusses why he is committing an additional $4 million of his own capital to support PyroGenesis — the leader in innovating for ultra-high temperature processes and engineering, and a technology provider to heavy industry & defense.This isn't a symbolic gesture. It's the latest installment in a personal commitment that now exceeds $19 million invested into the company, underscoring both confidence and alignment with shareholders.CUSTOMER VALIDATION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELPyroGenesis' technologies aren't theoretical; they are deployed in some of the world's most demanding environments. For example, its plasma arc waste destruction systems have been installed on two U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, the USS Gerald R. Ford and USS John F. Kennedy, with two more systems to follow as the additional ships' construction is completed — a testament to the company's ability to pass the most stringent procurement tests.Major industrial players such as Norsk Hydro, Constellium, and GE Vernova in Europe have publicly announced projects or relationships with PyroGenesis, signaling acceptance by highly selective partners.“I've seen hundreds of companies, maybe thousands, in my career,” says Pascali. “I've not seen one like PyroGenesis. The technology is thrilling, the adoption is real, and even in today's market we've built a backlog of signed contracts around $50 million.”STRATEGIC POSITIONING IN A VARIETY OF MARKETSEuropean customers aside, PyroGenesis is building momentum in the Middle East — particularly Saudi Arabia — where national leaders are investing heavily to diversify away from oil. From advanced manufacturing, to aluminum production, to 3D printing, PyroGenesis' portfolio aligns with the region's push to onshore high-tech production and accelerate industrial transformation.This geographic diversification also helps buffer against economic or supply chain challenges that may face various regions, giving PyroGenesis flexibility to manufacture in North America or abroad depending on customer needs.OUTLOOK: A UNIQUE SMALL-CAP OPPORTUNITYPyroGenesis is navigating the same capital and interest-rate headwinds facing many small and micro-caps — but with a critical difference: a CEO who repeatedly steps up as the largest investor, a growing range of validated technologies, and a diversified global market strategy. For investors seeking a small cap company with real technologies, real and prominent customers, and leadership fully aligned with shareholder interests, this interview offers an unfiltered look at a rare story.Watch the full discussion to see why PyroGenesis' CEO believes the company continues to be well positioned — and why he's backing that belief with millions of his own dollars.YOUR NEXT $PYR STEPS$PYR HUB On AGORACOM: https://agoracom.com/ir/PyroGenesisCanada$PYR 5 Minute Research Profile On AGORACOM: https://agoracom.com/ir/PyroGenesisCanada/profile$PYR Official Verified Discussion Forum On AGORACOM: https://agoracom.com/ir/PyroGenesisCanada/forums/discussion

“We bought these assets when nobody was funding mining. At $4,000 gold, it feels like we won the lottery,” Executive Chairman of LaFleur MineralsFROM EXPLORATION TO PRODUCTION IN RECORD TIMEWith gold prices surpassing US $4,000 per ounce, LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF)(FSE: 3WK0) is seizing a generational opportunity in Quebec's Abitibi Gold Belt. The company's fully permitted, recently upgraded Beacon Gold Mill—valued above $71 million replacement value, positions it among the few small caps ready to transition from exploration to production without years of permitting delays or heavy capital outlay. Feed for the mill will come from LaFleur's 100%-owned Swanson Gold Deposit as primary source, which holds 123,000 oz indicated and 64,500 oz inferred gold, just 60 kilometres away from the mill.BUILDING QUEBEC'S NEXT GOLD PRODUCERThe Executive Chairman describes LaFleur's model as built for near-term cash flow:“Our mill last operated when gold was $1,600. We're restarting it at $4,000 an ounce. The economics speak for themselves.” Trial runs are targeted for December 2025, with commercial production expected by early 2026. LaFleur aims to produce up to 30,000 ounces per year, translating to roughly C$168 million in potential annual output at today's gold prices.KEY ADVANTAGES • Fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill ready for restart that underwent $20 million in refurbishments in 2022 • Swanson Gold Deposit on a mining lease requiring minimal new permitting, district-scale property primed for consolidation with surrounding claims to expand footprint • Strategic location in Quebec's world-class Abitibi district, surrounded by over 100 historical and operational mines, allowing for rapid monetization of mineralized material from nearby gold deposits • Nearby deposits creating a pipeline for future M&A expansionPROVEN TEAM, PERFECT TIMINGThe Executive Chairman through Bullrun Capital, has a track record of financing and building high-growth ventures—including Patriot One Technologies (TSX: PAT) and Xtract One (TSX:XTRA) and brings deep access to institutional capital. Acquiring the Beacon assets out of bankruptcy in 2022, when gold was ~$1,600 and funding was scarce, now looks like a masterstroke.THE OUTLOOKLaFleur plans to ramp up from 900 tons per day to 5,000 tons per day within three years. The company plans expanding its resource base to 3–5 million ounces through targeted acquisitions. With a debt-free, royalty-free mill, a strong Quebec-based operating team, and record-high gold prices, LaFleur Minerals is one of the few juniors positioned to turn ounces into dollars now, not years from now.

“This is the easiest mining project I've seen in 40 years — on or near surface, high recovery rates, and significant upside the majors left untapped.” CEO Stephen BarleyWith gold at record highs and silver at a 14-year peak, Magma Silver Corp. (CSE: MGMA / OTCQB: MAGMF) is advancing a flagship Peruvian project that has already seen $14.5 million in exploration by majors including Newmont, AngloGold, and Bear Creek. Today, Magma is applying modern geological modeling to unlock the full value of what those majors left behind.DISTRICT-SCALE SYSTEM: The property spans 40 km², including an 8 km by 2 km anomalous zone with multiple gold and silver targets.CLEAN SILVER ADVANTAGE: Unlike many deposits labeled “silver equivalent,” Magma's system has pure silver with no contaminant metals — a rare and attractive characteristic.JUMPSTART ON RESOURCE: With access to Newmont's 65 drill holes and data, Magma can fast-track toward a compliant resource.PERU SILVER RECORD:  Peru is one of the world's top jurisdictions for silver and gold exploration as the 3rd largest silver producer globally - and a top 15 mining jurisdiction worldwide.DRILLING AND RESULTS WILL BEGIN TO FLOW IN 2025Magma's Phase 1 sampling confirmed high-grade results, including 14 g/t gold and 311 g/t silver in surface samples. Drilling begins mid-November with six holes planned, and results expected before year-end — setting the stage for steady news flow through 2026.The company is exploring real asset tokenization to monetize gold in the ground while minimizing dilution — an innovative financing path rarely seen at this stage. Longer term, Magma sees precedent in the Alamo Dorado Project, a discovery that sold for over $100 million when silver was just $5/oz.At a market cap of just ~$6M CAD, Magma Silver offers investors:A project already advanced by global majorsProven high-grade sampling results consistent with majorsDistrict-scale exploration potentialAnd a management team with a track record of successful discoveries and financings.With drilling underway and catalysts imminent, Magma Silver is positioning itself as one of Peru's next major gold-silver stories at a time when the sector is gaining global momentum.A LEGACY OF MAJOR INVESTMENTWHY THIS PROJECT MATTERSRWA TOKENIZATION IS ON THE TABLETHE INVESTMENT CASE
