What’s really in your food? New campaign pushes for national ingredient transparency

A new conservative group working to untangle state laws concerning food and personal care ingredients by setting a national standard for ingredient transparency officially launched Tuesday, Fox News Digital learned. 

‘It is a simple concept to understand — Americans want to know that the ingredients in the products they’re buying for their families are safe,’ Americans for Ingredient Transparency leader and senior advisor Andy Koenig said in a statement to Fox News Digital. ‘This should not be a difficult standard to meet.’ 

‘Unfortunately, states are now implementing their own patchwork of contradictory ingredient rules that have caused widespread confusion among consumers,’ Koenig continued. ‘President Trump and his Administration are well-suited to make these determinations. Our goal is to cut through confusion and ensure everyone has access to clear information. Consumers want to know exactly what they are putting in and on their bodies. That is what we are working to achieve.’ 

Americans for Ingredient Transparency is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit comprised of ‘concerned Americans, policy experts, farmers, and business leaders’ who are advocating that the U.S. government establish a national standard for ingredients to apply ‘consistent, science- and risk-based principles to give Americans everywhere confidence in the safety of food, beverage and personal care products,’ Fox News Digital learned. 

The group argued that states have made well-intended efforts to enact transparency laws as they relate to ingredients in food and household products, but that the moves have created confusion with an ‘ever-expanding patchwork of disjointed food, beverage, and personal care regulations.’

Americans for Ingredient Transparency specifically aims to work with Congress and the Trump administration to incorporate Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) reform, front-of-package labeling reform, and QR code reform into federal law.

GRAS reform would establish a ‘nationally uniform regulatory approach for new ingredients used in food and beverage products,’ according to the coalition’s website. The front-of-package labeling reform would guide consumers to healthier choices, while the QR code reform would provide consumers with a scannable code on products to review product information, according to the group’s website. 

Julie Gunlock, a conservative policy advocate focused on nutrition and parenting, leads Americans for Ingredient Transparency with Koenig. She said in comment to Fox News Digital that the push for a national ingredient transparency standard is one rooted in protecting families and children. 

‘As an American, but most importantly a mom, I know firsthand how important it is to trust the products we consume and bring into our homes,’ Gunlock said. ‘Families deserve commonsense and science-backed transparency they can rely on. That’s why a national standard for food safety and labeling is of the utmost importance to ensure every parent can make safe, informed choices for their children – because protecting our families starts with the truth.’

Americans for Ingredient Transparency is backed by a handful of food and consumer groups, Fox Digital learned, including the Consumer Brands Association, American Beverage Association, Corn Refiners Association, and FMI- The Food Industry Association.

‘Every American deserves to know what’s in their food, beverages, and personal care items – and that they’re safe no matter where they live,’ an ad for the group released Tuesday states. ‘It’s time to fix the patchwork. It’s time to pass a national uniform standard.’

The announcement comes as the Trump administration and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues its mission to ‘Make America Healthy Again.’ Kennedy has already addressed potential GRAS reforms, calling on the FDA in March to ‘explore potential rulemaking to revise its Substances Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) Final Rule and related guidance to eliminate the self-affirmed GRAS pathway.’

‘For far too long, ingredient manufacturers and sponsors have exploited a loophole that has allowed new ingredients and chemicals, often with unknown safety data, to be introduced into the U.S. food supply without notification to the FDA or the public,’ Kennedy said in March. ‘Eliminating this loophole will provide transparency to consumers, help get our nation’s food supply back on track by ensuring that ingredients being introduced into foods are safe, and ultimately Make America Healthy Again.’

Republicans push to renew Obamacare subsidies while rejecting Democrats’ shutdown tie-in

A group of House Republicans is calling on Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to deal with expiring Obamacare subsidies immediately after the government shutdown ends.

Thirteen House GOP lawmakers, led by Reps. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., and Jen Kiggans, R-Va., are sending a letter to Johnson on Tuesday thanking him for his leadership during the shutdown but maintaining that Obamacare must also be dealt with before the end of the year.

Obamacare, formally called the Affordable Care Act (ACA), has emerged as one of the main flash points in the ongoing fiscal standoff between Republicans and Democrats.

‘Every day the shutdown continues to hurt the very people we were elected to serve, including the men and women of our Armed Forces, the federal law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe, the agents who defend our nation’s borders, and the public servants who provide essential services to veterans, seniors and families,’ the Republicans wrote.

‘We also firmly believe that the government funding debate is not the time or place to address healthcare issues. Using the shutdown as leverage to force that debate only prolongs the harm and distracts from the immediate task of reopening the government. Once the government is reopened, however, we should immediately turn our focus to the growing crisis of healthcare affordability and the looming expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits.’

Obamacare subsidies were enhanced under the Biden administration in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic in a bid to make healthcare more available to a wider swath of Americans. Democrats voted to extend those subsidies through 2025 in 2022 via the Inflation Reduction Act.

Democrats are now pushing to extend those subsidies now, using the ongoing government shutdown as leverage to force Republicans to deal with the issue.

Both House and Senate GOP leaders have signaled they are willing to discuss the expiring healthcare subsidies but rejected pairing them with their bill to fund the government — a short-term extension of fiscal year (FY) 2025 federal spending levels called a continuing resolution (CR).

But extending the Obamacare subsidies is expected to generate its own debates among Republicans. Conservatives like the House Freedom Caucus and their allies are skeptical of the move, arguing the enhanced healthcare credits were responsible for sending medical prices skyrocketing.

But the 13 Republicans who signed the letter maintain, ‘Millions of Americans are facing drastic premium increases due to short-sighted Democratic policymaking. While we did not create this crisis, we now have both the responsibility and the opportunity to address it.’

‘Allowing these tax credits to lapse without a clear path forward would risk real harm to those we represent. Nevertheless, we must chart a conservative path that protects working families in our districts across the country who rely on these credits,’ they wrote.

The lawmakers agreed with GOP leaders that reforms are needed to the system ‘to make these credits more fiscally responsible and ensure they are going to the Americans who need them most,’ but added, ‘Our Conference and President Trump have been clear that we will not take healthcare away from families who depend on it. This is our opportunity to demonstrate that commitment through action.’

House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris, R-Md., ruled out accepting a straightforward extension of the Obamacare subsidies in comments to reporters on Monday.

‘You want a clean vote on a program that potentially is $400 billion, and you want to do it without any debate, any negotiation? That’s just insanity,’ Harris said.

Asked by Fox News Digital if he sees any pathway to compromise, he said, ‘It all depends on what the package is, how is it paid for, what other healthcare reforms are in it?’

‘But that’s stuff that you’re not going to negotiate in hours. It’s going to take weeks to negotiate,’ Harris said.

It’s also not immediately clear when the shutdown will end — while the House passed its CR on Sept. 19, Senate Democrats have sunk the bill in the upper chamber 11 times as of Monday.

Blackburn says Trump support was ‘common thread’ among lawmakers reportedly targeted by Jack Smith

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., was one of nearly a dozen Senate Republicans allegedly probed by former Special Counsel Jack Smith, an investigation she wasn’t aware of until earlier this month.

She was one of several Senate Republicans that Smith allegedly surveilled as part of his investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots. But it was only revealed earlier this month by the FBI — thanks to an oversight request by Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa — that Smith allegedly requested phone records on her and others.

Blackburn told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that until the documents from Smith’s ‘Arctic Frost’ investigation were revealed, she had no idea that her phone records were being surveilled.

She believed the ‘common thread’ behind the former special counsel’s probe, which was carried out in 2023, was because ‘the eight of us are all Republicans. We all support President Trump.’

Blackburn and Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Josh Hawley, R-Mo., Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., Bill Hagerty, R-Wyo., Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., and Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., were all reportedly part of Smith’s investigation.  

In response, Blackburn and many of the others that were allegedly surveilled by Smith want to see him disbarred.

‘This is about making certain we have one tier of justice, and that we stop this two tiers of justice,’ Blackburn said. ‘And if they can do this to eight sitting U.S. senators, what could they possibly — I mean, think about how, what they must be doing to conservatives in this country.’

Last week, she and Graham, Tuberville, Sullivan and Kelly sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding an investigation into Smith, and that he be referred to the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Office of Professional Responsibility.  

The end goal of the investigation is to see Smith disbarred from both New York and Tennessee, two states where he holds a license to practice law. Blackburn argued that Smith’s alleged spying on her and others was a ‘First Amendment and Fourth Amendment violation.’

Her latest push against the former special counsel came on the heels of another letter sent to AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon demanding why the cellphone carriers allegedly allowed Smith and the FBI under the Biden administration to track their communications.

‘You would have thought that, because of the Stored Records Act and the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment and the Speech and Debate Clause, that at least Verizon, who’s my wireless carrier, would have informed me that there was a request on my records,’ she said. 

‘But of course, there was nothing given to us, and it’s the reason that we sent the letter to Verizon and then followed it with a letter … to the DOJ on Jack Smith,’ she continued.

Smith is one of a handful of former officials that have been targeted by the DOJ under the Trump administration. He is currently under investigation by the Office of Special Counsel for alleged Hatch Act violations, which bars government employees from participating in political activities.

Then there are federal indictments against former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly making false statements and obstructing justice, and former National Security Advisor John Bolton for allegedly mishandling classified documents.

Blackburn was one of many Republicans that railed against so-called political witch hunts against President Donald Trump when he was out of office. When asked what the difference between the indictments against Trump and his allies compared to the latest crop of former officials, she said it was about accountability.

‘These need to be investigated so that this kind of stuff stops,’ Blackburn said. ‘And one of the differences, I think you see between Democrats and Republicans, is Democrats repeatedly circle the wagons, and they push things under the rug, and then they want two tiers of justice. And with Republicans, the focus is on accountability and transparency, and I think that is a major, major difference.’

Pinnacle Strengthens Mexican Management Team

(TheNewswire)

Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp.

In addition, the Qualified Person (QP) for the project and author of the NI43-101 report, Jorge Ortega, P.Geo., continues in the role of Exploration Manager and is already actively supervising our geological team that has taken more than a thousand surface and underground samples at site and is building a solid understanding of the controls on gold-silver mineralization in this high-grade low sulphidation epithermal system.

‘I am excited to be working with both Carlos and Jorge again ,’ stated Robert Archer, Pinnacle’s President & CEO.  ‘As former General Manager of the Guanajuato Mine and Exploration Manager for Great Panther Silver, respectively, they both played integral roles in the growth of that company.  Our current mine geologist also used to work at the Guanajuato Mine during that time.  As we move forward towards a production scenario at El Potrero, it is gratifying to be able to draw on their expertise in building a new team, to maximize the chance of success.’

Ing. Castro has a degree in Mining Engineering and Mineral Processing ( Ingeniero de Minas y Plantas de Beneficio) from the University of Guanajuato and has more than 45 years’ experience with companies such as Peñoles, Luismin, Great Panther and First Majestic.  He has held positions ranging from Mine Superintendent to General Manager of various mining operations and, for Rochester Resources, supervised the construction of a 300 tonne per day processing plant in 7 months, which will be particularly relevant at El Potrero.

Mr. Ortega is a Professional Geologist with a B.Sc. in Geological Engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and an M.Sc. in Earth Sciences from Laval University in Quebec.  He has 30 years’ experience in all aspects of exploration in a variety of geological environments in Mexico, Canada, the USA, Turkey, Peru, Chile and Germany.  Since 2008, he has held various positions in Mexico with Oro Silver, Alamos Gold, Great Panther and, most recently, as VP Exploration for Excellon Resources.

Qualified Person

Mr. Jorge Ortega, P. Geo, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and the author of the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Potrero Project, has reviewed and approved this news release.

About the Potrero Property

El Potrero is located in the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental of western Mexico and lies within 35 kilometres of four operating mines, including the 4,000 tonnes per day (tpd) Ciénega Mine (Fresnillo), the 1,000 tpd Tahuehueto Mine (Luca Mining) and the 250 tpd Topia Mine (Guanajuato Silver).

High-grade gold-silver mineralization occurs in a low sulphidation epithermal breccia vein system hosted within andesites of the Lower Volcanic Series and has three historic mines along a 500 metre strike length.  The property has been in private hands for almost 40 years and has never been systematically explored by modern methods, leaving significant exploration potential.

A previously operational 100 tpd plant on site can be refurbished / rebuilt and historic underground mine workings rehabilitated at relatively low cost in order to achieve near-term production once permits are in place. The property is road accessible with a power line within three kilometres.  Surface rights covering the plant and mine area are privately owned (no community issues).

Pinnacle will earn an initial 50% interest immediately upon commencing production.  The goal would then be to generate sufficient cash flow with which to further develop the project and increase the Company’s ownership to 100% subject to a 2% NSR.  If successful, this approach would be less dilutive for shareholders than relying on the equity markets to finance the growth of the Company.

About Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp.

Pinnacle is focused on the development of precious metals projects in the Americas.  The high-grade Potrero gold-silver project in Mexico’s Sierra Madre Belt hosts an underexplored low-sulphidation epithermal vein system and provides the potential for near-term production . In the prolific Red Lake District of northwestern Ontario, the Company owns a 100% interest in the past-producing, high-grade Argosy Gold Mine and the adjacent North Birch Project with an eight-kilometre-long target horizon . With a seasoned, highly successful management team and quality projects, Pinnacle Silver and Gold is committed to building long -term , sustainable value for shareholders.

Silver Hammer Enters into Option Agreement to Acquire 100% Interest in a Strategic and Prospective Silver Project in the Silver Valley of Idaho

Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE: HAMR) (the ‘Company‘ or ‘Silver Hammer‘) is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement (the ‘Option Agreement‘) on October 20, 2025 with Fahey Group Mines, Inc. (‘Fahey‘), pursuant to which the Company has been granted the right (the ‘Option‘) to acquire a 100% legal and beneficial interest in the Fahey Group Property (the ‘Property‘).

All currency references are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Key Highlights of the Fahey Property:

  • The Fahey Property consists of 360 acres, covered by 18, unpatented US lode claims, situated directly in the strategic center of the Silver Belt portion of the Coeur d’ Alene Mining District, one of the top known producing silver regions in the world where the Idaho State University (2006) estimated 1.18 billion ounces of silver has been produced.
  • The Fahey Property is the last property within the Silver Belt that has remained largely unexplored despite its strategic prime location and has been one of the desired properties to be acquired and explored for many years.
  • The Fahey Property has been owned by same family for over 60 years, and this will represent for the first time the Property has been available for exploration with modern exploration.
  • The Fahey Property is ideally situated between two of the well-known silver mines in North America: the currently operating Galena Mine and the historic Sunshine Mine.
  • The Fahey Property occupies a strategic position between property owned by ‘Sunshine Silver Mining and Refining’ and ‘Americas Gold and Silver’.
  • The Fahey Property is underlain by the same favorable Revett Formation quartzite.
  • The Americas Silver and Gold land position borders the Fahey Property to the East, which includes the operating Galena Mine and has produced million ounces of silver, along with the Coeur Mine and the Mineral Point Mine.
  • More than 20 veins have been identified within the Fahey Property, which is more than the number of veins in either the Bunker Hill Mine (the largest mine in the district) or the Sunshine mine, with the greatest silver production in the Coeur d’Alene mining district.

‘The Company is extremely pleased to be able to secure such a strategic land holding surrounded by senior silver producers and explorers in one of the most sought-after locations in the Silver Valley. We are grateful to the Fahey Group to have confidence in our experienced exploration team,’ commented Peter A. Ball, President & CEO. ‘It is not often a junior is able to have the opportunity to acquire such an exciting silver project that has remained relatively underexplored and more notably surrounded by close to one billion ounces of silver that have been discovered, developed and mined over the past 100 years. Our technical team looks forward to bringing modern exploration to such an interesting and highly prospective silver project. We are pleased with the terms of the acquisition, allowing Silver Hammer to focus our hard dollars into the ground to make a potential discovery for our shareholders and the Fahey Group.’

Transaction Overview:

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company may earn a 100% interest in the Property, free and clear of all encumbrances other than a retained royalty, by paying Fahey US$50,000 in cash and issuing C$450,000 worth of common shares of the Company (‘Consideration Shares‘), to be satisfied as follows: US$25,000 in cash within three (3) business days of the effective date of the Option Agreement; US$25,000 in cash on or before June 30, 2026; C$50,000 in Consideration Shares on or before December 31, 2026; C$75,000 in Consideration Shares on or before December 31, 2027; C$75,000 in Consideration Shares on or before December 31, 2028; C$125,000 in Consideration Shares on or before December 31, 2029; and C$125,000 in Consideration Shares on or before December 31, 2030.

In addition, the Company must incur an aggregate of at least C$1,500,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property, consisting of a minimum of C$200,000 on or before December 31, 2027 and a further C$1,300,000 on or before December 31, 2030, with any excess expenditures from earlier periods credited toward later commitments.

The Company may extend the deadline for the final share payment due December 31, 2030, as well as the exploration expenditure deadline of December 31, 2030, by one (1) year through the issuance of C$50,000 worth of Consideration Shares. The Company may also accelerate any cash payments, share issuances, or exploration expenditures at its sole discretion without penalty.

All Consideration Shares issued under the Option Agreement will be priced at the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the ‘CSE‘) for the twenty (20) trading days prior to issuance, subject to the CSE’s minimum pricing requirements. If the deemed price is less than C$0.05 or otherwise not permitted under CSE policies and results in the aggregate value of the Consideration Shares issued being less than the stated dollar amount of the applicable installment, the Company will pay the shortfall to Fahey in cash (converted to equivalent value in US$) within sixty (60) days of the applicable issuance date. The Company will also have the option to make any payments in cash (converted to equivalent value in US$) in lieu of issuing Consideration Shares.

Upon exercise of the Option, the Company will grant Fahey a 2.0% net smelter returns royalty (the ‘Royalty‘) on the Property, which may be reduced by 0.5% (to 1.5%) upon payment of US$1,000,000 to Fahey.

Following exercise of the Option, upon the commencement of commercial production at the Property, the Company will also make a milestone payment of US$1,500,000 to Fahey, payable in cash, shares, or any combination thereof, at the Company’s discretion, within thirty (30) days of achieving commercial production.

Completion of the transaction remains subject to receipt of all required corporate and regulatory approvals, including the approval of the CSE. The transaction is an arm’s length transaction and will not result in any changes to the Company’s board or management. No finder’s fees will be paid in connection with the transaction.

All securities issued pursuant to the transaction will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Fahey Project Overview and Location Map:

The 18 unpatented claims of the Fahey Property are located in the heart of the Silver Belt sector of the Coeur d’Alene mining district (Fig. 1). The Coeur d’Alene district is one of the premier silver-producing mining districts in the world. The Silver Belt accounts for just over half of the silver produced in the district, and there is no meaningful production recorded and very limited exploration on the Fahey Property.

Nextech3D.ai Launches Blockchain Ticketing on the Ethereum Network With Coinbase and MetaMask Integration

Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR)(OTCQX:NEXCF)(FSE:1SS), an AI-first technology company specializing in event management, 3D modeling, and spatial computing, is pleased to announce the launch of its Blockchain Ticketing Platform powered by Ethereum, with support for Coinbase Wallet and MetaMask.

This launch accelerates the Company’s previously announced two-track blockchain strategy, which included:

  • Phase 1: a custodial wallet solution targeted for Q4 2025; and
  • Phase 2: a self-custody personal wallet option originally planned for early 2026.

Thanks to Nextechs3d.ai recent acquisition of Eventdex which had already developed a personal wallet architecture, the Company is now launching the personal wallet first, ahead of schedule. This milestone strengthens Nextech3D.ai’s position as a leader in AI-driven and blockchain-secured event technology.

Secure, Decentralized Ticketing on Ethereum

The new blockchain ticketing platform enables event organizers and attendees to issue, store, and verify tickets as Ethereum-based tokens, seamlessly connected to Coinbase and MetaMask wallets. These blockchain-integrated tickets are:

  • Fraud-Resistant: Immutable, traceable smart contracts eliminate duplication and counterfeit risks.
  • Programmable: Organizers can embed VIP access, sponsor perks, or resale royalties directly into each ticket.
  • Interoperable: Works across Ethereum-based wallets and decentralized applications.

‘This launch marks a major leap forward in the event industry,’ said Evan Gappelberg, CEO of Nextech3D.ai. ‘By combining blockchain security, wallet interoperability, and AI-driven event automation, we’re creating a frictionless ecosystem for organizers, exhibitors, and attendees. It’s not just about ticketing-it’s about trust, transparency, and value.’

Beyond Ticketing: Blockchain Accreditation

While blockchain ticketing is the first application, Nextech3D.ai sees enormous potential to extend this technology into blockchain-based accreditation and credentialing-particularly for the Company’s continuing education clients in healthcare, higher education, and professional certification.

Using the same Ethereum infrastructure, Nextech3D.ai will enable event and education customers to issue verifiable, on-chain certificates that prove attendance, accreditation, and achievement-all easily stored and shared through blockchain wallets like Coinbase and MetaMask.

‘Our education and healthcare partners are already using our platforms to manage continuing education and compliance programs,’ added Gappelberg. ‘With blockchain accreditation, we’re turning those records into verifiable digital assets-giving institutions and participants a secure, permanent record of professional growth.’

AI + Blockchain: The Future of Event and Education Technology

Nextech3D.ai’s AI Event Suite now includes:

  • AI Matchmaking: Intelligent, data-driven networking to connect attendees and exhibitors.
  • AI Event Assistant: A real-time, multilingual event concierge available 24/7.
  • Blockchain Ticketing: Decentralized ticketing and accreditation on Ethereum with Coinbase and MetaMask wallet support.

This integrated approach positions Nextech3D.ai to lead the convergence of AI, blockchain, and automation in global event and education markets, a sector representing multi-billion-dollar opportunities.

The company has entered into agreements (the ‘Agreements‘) with certain service providers of the Company pursuant to which the Company proposes to issue an aggregate of 3,688,218 common shares at a deemed price of Cdn$ 0.19 per share in consideration of past services and satisfaction of outstanding indebtedness

The share issuances remain subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

China accuses US of yearslong cyberattack on national time service

China’s spy agency accused the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) of hacking its national time service, alleging a yearslong cyberespionage campaign that targeted the system keeping official Beijing Time — a backbone for China’s telecommunications, finance and defense sectors.

The Ministry of State Security claimed the NSA began the operation in 2022 by exploiting a text-messaging vulnerability to gain control of employee cell phones at the National Time Service Center, then used stolen credentials to access servers and implant covert tools. The alleged breach, if true, could have allowed attackers to tamper with national timekeeping — a move that experts say could disrupt communications, banking and satellite navigation across China.

The NSA said in a statement it ‘does not confirm nor deny allegations in the media regarding its operations. Our core focus is countering foreign malign activities persistently targeting American interests, and we will continue to defend against adversaries wishing to threaten us.’

Chinese Investigators allege the hackers deployed 42 ‘specialized cyberattack weapons’ to implant sabotage capabilities.

The attackers allegedly forged digital certificates, bypassed antivirus software and used strong encryption to erase traces to conceal activity. Tampering with the National Time Service could disrupt financial transactions, communications and satellite timing.

China’s national security agency said it countered the operation by cutting off the attack chain and upgrading defenses.

The Beijing statement claimed that in recent years, the U.S. has pursued ‘cyber hegemony,’ launching hacking operations against China and across the globe.

But for years, U.S. officials have said the nation needs to take a more offensive approach to cyber espionage, given China’s frequent intrusions into U.S. systems.

In a media statement, the U.S. embassy in Beijing said China ‘is the most active and persistent cyber threat to U.S. government, private-sector and critical infrastructure networks.’

The latest claim fits into years of mutual accusations of state-sponsored cyber activity between the world’s two largest powers. Beijing has frequently accused the U.S. of hacking Chinese systems, while American intelligence and private cybersecurity firms have repeatedly attributed massive data-theft campaigns – from the Microsoft Sharepoint breach to Operation Salt Typhoon – to Chinese state-linked groups.

In April, Chinese authorities accused the NSA of launching attacks against networks linked to the Asian Winter Games held in February.

While antimony has a wide array of uses, its contributions to national security, energy and manufacturing are currently grabbing the spotlight. The United States, Canada and the European Union have each classified it as a critical mineral, citing its essential applications in defense technologies (such as armor-piercing ammunition and explosives), energy storage systems, and electronics.

With recent news headlines that ‘United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE American: UAMY) (NYSE Texas: UAMY) Awarded $245 Million Sole-Source Five-Year Contract by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency for the Purchase of Antimony Ingots to Replenish the U.S. National Defense Stockpile’, antimony is on a watch list globally. The stock has had a 100% gain in the past month.

Making its own headlines, Locksley Resources Ltd (ASX: LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (OTCQX: LKYRF) (FSE: X5L) just announced a significant Company milestone with the production of a 100% American made antimony ingot, marking the return of the first US domestic antimony metal production in decades.

From the news:
The milestone represents proof-of-concept for a fully American mine to-metal supply chain, from ore sourced at the Company’s Mojave Desert Antimony Mine in California, through to refining entirely within the US by Hazen Research Inc., one of the nation’s most respected metallurgical and process development laboratories.

This breakthrough directly supports US government and Presidential Executive Orders aimed at re-establishing domestic production of critical minerals vital to defense, clean energy, and strategic manufacturing supply chains. Locksley is working closely with its strategic partners, and Washington D.C based advisors, GreenMet, to advance permitting and funding initiatives to support the next stage of the Company’s commercialisation strategy.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Locksley produces 100% American made antimony ingot from Mojave
  • Achievement validates the only known US mine-to-metal supply chain for antimony, fully independent of Chinese processing
  • Ore sourced from the Company’s Mojave Desert Antimony Mine in California and refined by Hazen Research Inc. in Colorado
  • Milestone supports US Government initiatives to secure critical minerals essential for defense, energy, and advanced manufacturing
  • Locksley is working closely with its strategic partners and Washington D.C advisors, GreenMet, to advance permitting and funding initiatives

Kerrie Matthews, Locksley CEO, commented:
‘This is a defining milestone for Locksley and the United States. The successful casting of the first 100% American made antimony ingot in decades, demonstrates mine-to-metal production is not only possible but is already underway.

‘We’ve proven the concept, and now our focus turns to scaling this achievement into a sustainable, commercial supply chain that supports America’s industrial and defense sectors. This is just the beginning, the foundation has been set, and we look forward to updating the market on the next steps for Locksley and its strategy to support America’s critical minerals independence.’

Drew Horn, CEO of GreenMet, commented:
‘Locksley’s achievement is not only a technical success, but also a national milestone. The ability to produce an American sourced and American refined antimony ingot is precisely the kind of outcome that US policymakers and industry leaders have been seeking to re-establish domestic supply chains for critical minerals.

‘GreenMet is proud to support Locksley in advancing this effort and to work alongside the Company as it progresses permitting and funding initiatives that strengthen America’s strategic materials independence.’

Validation of a 100% American Mine-to-Market Supply Chain
This achievement demonstrates Locksley’s commitment to delivering an antimony product sourced and refined entirely within the United States.

The breakthrough directly supports US government objectives to restore domestic critical mineral production. Locksley will work closely with strategic partners, including Washington, DC based advisors and GreenMet, to advance permitting and funding, supporting the next stage of the Company’s commercialisation strategy and America’s self-sufficiency in critical minerals.

Advancing Toward Pilot Scale Production
Following the successful validation of the first 100% American-made antimony ingot, Locksley Resources is now advancing towards pilot-scale production, a key step in confirming metallurgical recoveries, process efficiency, and scalability for future commercial supply.

The Company will work closely with industry partners and downstream consumers to ensure product specifications for both antimony trisulfide and antimony trioxide meet stringent US defense and industrial standards. This phase will also support offtake readiness and qualification as the leading US developer of domestically produced antimony metal.

This milestone firmly established Locksley as a pioneer in rebuilding America’s antimony supply chain, aligning with ongoing US Government and Presidential Executive Orders that prioritise domestic sourcing and processing of critical minerals essential for defense, energy storage, and advanced manufacturing.

With one of the few known high-grade, primary antimony deposits in the continental United States, the Mojave Project offers a path to scaled production and a strategic alternative to Chinese controlled supply chains, reinforcing Locksley’s role at the forefront of America’s critical minerals independence.

Strategic Context: US and Australian Government Engagement
Locksley’s milestone coincides with a significant step-up in bilateral critical minerals dialogue between the United States and Australia, underscored by Prime Minister Albanese’s upcoming meeting with President Trump in Washington, DC. Recent government briefings and funding initiatives from both nations have underscored antimony’s strategic importance and the shared objective of establishing secure, allied production capabilities.

As the first company to deliver a 100% American-made antimony ingot in decades, Locksley’s achievement positions it at the forefront of this renewed trans-Pacific strategic effort to re-establish secure, allied supply chains for critical minerals, vital to defense, energy, and advanced manufacturing.

Next Steps
With proof-of-concept successfully achieved, Locksley is now transitioning from validation to pilot-scale and pre-commercial operations in the United States. The next phase of work will focus on scaling, refining, and positioning the Company for government and industry engagement:

  • Scale-up to U.S based pilot plant operations: Establishing a domestic pilot facility to validate process efficiency, recoveries, and repeatability under commercial conditions.
  • Detailed metallurgical interpretation and process flow-sheet optimisation: Utilise test data from Hazen Research to refine processing parameters and finalise design inputs for larger scale operations.
  • Engagement with U.S. government and industrial partners: Advance discussions for offtake qualification, funding support, and strategic collaboration under existing national interest programs and defense supply chain programs.
  • Commercial pathway planning: Progress engineering, permitting, and funding initiatives in collaboration with Washington D.C-based advisors GreenMet, as Locksley advances towards establishing a fully integrated, American controlled antimony production and processing capability.

Following the news, the Sydney Morning Herald reported, ‘Locksley Resources has just etched its name into United States industrial history by pouring the first fully American-made antimony ingot in almost 10 years, placing the ASX-listed junior squarely in Washington’s headlights as the country pushes for critical mineral self-sufficiency.’

Looking at recent news from United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE American: UAMY) (NYSE Texas: UAMY), the Company just announced they submitted a confidential, non-binding, indicative proposal to acquire 100% of the share capital of Larvotto Resources Limited by way of a scheme of arrangement under the Australian Corporations Act 2001.

From the news:
Under the Proposal, Larvotto shareholders would receive Six (6) USAC shares for every One Hundred (100) Larvotto shares which represents a significant premium to (i) Larvotto’s last equity capital raise announced on 25 July 2025 (ii) recent stock trading price ranges. The terms of the proposed transaction are subject to the negotiation and execution of a binding scheme implementation deed, Larvotto shareholder approval, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

USAC has recently acquired approximately 10.0% of Larvotto’s total issued share capital with cash in the open market which USAC believes makes USAC Larvotto’s largest single shareholder.

Another Australian dual listed antimony stock, Nova Minerals Limited (NASDAQ: NVA) (ASX: NVA) (FSE: QM3), turned heads in the sector when it announced recently that its 100% owned US subsidiary Alaska Range Resources, LLC (ARR), had been awarded US$43.4 million in Defense Production Act Title III funding by the US Department of War (DoW) to produce antimony trisulfide at its Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project (Estelle Project) in Alaska.

From the news:
The award will enable ARR to accelerate development of a fully integrated US antimony supply chain to extract, concentrate, and refine stibnite to produce military grade antimony trisulfide to assist in meeting the US defense industrial base demands.

Nova CEO, Mr. Christopher Gerteisen, commented: ‘We are proud to have ARR partner with the U.S. Department of War to help secure a fully domestic, redundant supply chain for the munitions and other defense products our troops need to keep our nation and allies safe, as well as future supply to the US industrial base for a wide range of traditional and high-tech applications, including semiconductors and energy systems.

‘This award will fund the initial phase of the Company’s strategy to establish a full spectrum state of the art antimony mining and refining hub based in Alaska to supply refined antimony products to the US industrial base and beyond. After conducting rigorous vetting and technical due diligence of the Estelle Project, ARR is proud to be the recipient of this award, which provides further confidence in the quality of antimony mineralization and highlights the potential scale and scope of future antimony production from the Estelle Project.’

Following Nova’s news, Locksley Resources (ASX: LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (OTCQX: LKYRF) announced that the company’s advancing metallurgical test work program being conducted on surface samples collected from the Desert Antimony Mine (DAM) Prospect at the company’s project in the Mojave Desert is producing concentrate grades believed to be significantly higher than comparable American projects (as reported in publicly available information from Perpetua (NASDAQ: PPTA) (TSX: PPTA), Nova Minerals (NASDAQ: NVA), US Antimony Corp (NYSE American: UAMY), Costerfield and Hillgrove.

From the news:
According to early results, excellent high grade final flotation concentrate of 68.1% antimony has been achieved from first pass rougher/regrind/cleaner flotation tests. The concentrate is 95% of technical maximum stibnite grade of 71.68% showing minimal impurities, significantly exceeding marketable sales requirements of a minimum of 55%.

Cardiol Therapeutics Completes US$11.4 Million Financing and Extends Cash Runway into Q3 2027

  • MAVERIC Phase III pivotal trial of orphan drug candidate CardiolRx™ in recurrent pericarditis is fully funded through to a planned New Drug Application submission with the FDA.

  • New data from the ARCHER trial, highlighting the magnitude of reduction in left ventricular (LV) mass and the read through to heart failure, to be presented at a cardiology conference in November 2025.

  • Next-generation therapy CRD-38 for heart failure funded through to clinical development, with partnership discussions advancing with leading pharmaceutical companies.

Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDL) (TSX: CRDL) (‘Cardiol’ or the ‘Company’), a clinical-stage life sciences company advancing late-stage, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic therapies for heart disease, today announced the successful completion of the previously announced private placement offering (the ‘Offering’) of units (‘Units’) for total proceeds of US$11.4 million, reflecting closing on all funds previously committed under the Offering.

‘As recruitment in our pivotal Phase III MAVERIC trial gains momentum, with several prominent centers across the U.S. now enrolling patients, we are pleased to have secured a direct investment of US$11.4 million to strengthen our balance sheet and accelerate the development of our novel heart failure drug, CRD-38, based on the recently reported findings from our ARCHER trial,’ said David Elsley, President and CEO of Cardiol Therapeutics. ‘Topline results from our ARCHER trial demonstrated a significant reduction in LV mass-marking the first evidence of structural and remodeling improvement in patients with myocarditis. This landmark finding represents our second clinical validation in inflammatory heart disease and establishes a key translational link to data published earlier this year in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, which demonstrated the beneficial effects of the active pharmaceutical ingredient or API in CardiolRx on cardiac structure, inflammation, and fibrosis in a model of heart failure. The ARCHER findings support pursuing an additional Orphan Drug Designation for CardiolRx in myocarditis and advancing the development of our next-generation CRD-38 formulation, which delivers the same API via subcutaneous administration, to target the broader heart failure market. Notably, blockbuster drugs that reduce LV mass have been shown to lower heart failure-related death and hospitalization, underscoring the clinical potential of Cardiol’s differentiated anti-inflammatory mechanism to address a large unmet need in heart failure, where five-year mortality rates still exceed 50%.’

Under the Offering, the Company sold a total of 11.4 million Units at a price of US$1.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A common share of the Company (a ‘Common Share‘) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of US$1.35 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. The warrants include an acceleration provision, allowing the Company to advance their expiry to the 30th day following the issuance of a news release if the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares exceeds US$2.00 for five consecutive trading days. Proceeds from the Offering provide cash resources that are anticipated to support operations into the third quarter of 2027.

The securities have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘U.S. Securities Act‘), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the ‘United States’ or ‘U.S. persons’ (as such terms are used in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act), absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable U.S. state securities laws or in compliance with an exemption therefrom. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Certain insiders of the Company participated in the Offering. Such participation is considered to be a ‘related-party transaction’ within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related-party participation in the Offering as the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, and the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved interested parties, did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).

Cartier Cuts 11.0 g/t Au over 9.0 m including 30.2 g/t Au over 2.5 at Contact ; Continues to Expand High-Grade Gold North Contact Zone near Surface

Cartier Resources Inc. (″ Cartier ″ or the ″ Company ″) (TSXV: ECR,OTC:ECRFF; FSE: 6CA) is pleased to announce the third batch of results from the fully funded 100,000-m drilling program (2 drill rigs) for the Contact Sector and more precisely, the North Contact Zone (NCZ), on its 100%-owned Cadillac Project, located in Val-d’Or (Abitibi, Quebec). The NCZ consists of three parallel high-grade gold zones: NCZ (1), NCZ (2) and NCZ (3).

Strategic Highlights from Contact Sector

Drill Results of NCZ (Figures 1 & 2)

  • NCZ (3) intersected in hole CA25-530 graded 30.2 g/t Au over 2.5 m included in 11.0 g/t Au over 9.0 m with presence of visible gold grains , at a depth of 270 m, hole CA25-527 reported 27.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m included in 2.2 g/t Au over 18.0 m at a depth of 325 m and hole CA25-529 cut 6.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m included in 4.3 g/t Au over 4.0 m at a depth of 215 m.
  • NCZ (1) intersected in hole CA25-526 graded 11.7 g/t Au over 0.5 m , at a depth of 230 m and hole CA25-530 reported 10.4 g/t Au over 0.5 m with presence of visible gold grains, at a depth of 200 m.
  • NCZ (1) and NCZ (3) are spaced approximately 50 m apart.

Significance for Investors

  • Holes CA25-526, CA25-527, CA25-529 and CA25-530 continue to clearly demonstrate the presence of a shallow and extensive mineralized system, hosting multiple high-grade gold zones with significant grades and widths . The mineralization has now been extended over 400 m in strike length by 300 m in depth , remains open in all directions , suggesting significant expansion potential .
  • These latest assay results follow up on previously reported intercepts, including 16.7 g/t Au over 2.1 m within a broader interval of 5.9 g/t Au over 7.7 m (hole CA25-524) and 4.3 g/t Au over 2.0 m (hole CA25-525), as disclosed in Cartier’s September 23, 2025 news release titled ″ Cartier Cuts 16.7 g/t Au over 2.1 m at Contact (Cadillac); Strengthens Shallow High-Grade Gold Potential; Supports Expansion Drilling. ″
  • The combination of exposed bedrock , minimal overburden (less than 5 m) and proximity to year-round road access (within 250 m) positions NCZ as a highly strategic asset for potential shallow operation scenarios . These logistical advantages should significantly enhance the development flexibility and economics of the Cadillac Project.

Next Steps

  • Additional drilling is required on NCZ to confirm geological continuity , expand gold mineralization (150-300 m), extend footprint closer to surface (0-150 m) and advance toward a future gold inventory .
  • Further exploration drilling is already planned to test several new high-priority regional targets at Contact Sector, backed by detailed structural and geological modelling and VRIFY’s artificial intelligence (AI) driven targeting , reinforcing the potential for additional gold discoveries .

‘ This second set of high-grade gold results in the Contact Sector is extremely encouraging for the long-term potential of the Cadillac Project. The decision to allocate part of the 100,000-m drill program to this sector is clearly delivering strong results for our shareholders. These outcomes reflect our focused strategy of advancing known mineralized zones while also targeting high-priority regional exploration opportunities .’ – Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier.

‘ The updated geological model, from continuous analysis and interpretation of results, is yielding positive results and highlighting the significant potential of the Contact Sector. Improved understanding of the structural features is allowing us to more efficiently and accurately target mineralized zones. The gold potential of the Héva Fault Zone, hosting NCZ, remains largely underexplored and we believe there is significant upside yet to be unlocked. ‘ – Ronan Deroff, Vice President Exploration of Cartier.

* Occurrences of visible gold (VG) have been noted in the drill core at various intervals. ** Based on the observed intercept angles within the drill core, true thicknesses are estimated to represent approximately 50–85 % of the reported core length intervals.

Contact Sector

The Contact Sector is a highly prospective area featuring the North Contact Zone (‘NCZ’) and several newly defined high-priority drill targets.

The NCZ lies along an east-west trending, strongly sheared corridor (Héva Fault Zone), situated approximately 900 m north of the Cadillac Fault Zone, and occurs at the contact between the hanging wall mafic to intermediate volcanics (basalt to andesite) of Louvicourt Group and the footwall turbiditic sedimentary rocks (wacke-mudrock) of Cadillac Group. This lithological contact is a favorable horizon for hydrothermal fluid flow, likely related to synvolcanic gold deposition.

The NCZ, defined by at least three parallel gold-rich zones, are typically and primarily associated with a fine-grained and disseminated arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization, with a pervasive biotite-chlorite-carbonate alteration, all crosscut by late-stage smoky quartz vein and veinlet stockworks containing visible gold. Locally, accessory minerals such as sphalerite, galena and tourmaline are observed.

Milestones of 2025-2027 Exploration Program

100,000 m Drilling Program (Q3 2025 to Q2 2027)

The ambitious 600-hole drilling program will both expand known gold zones (Brownfield Growth) and test new shallow surface high-potential targets (Greenfield Discovery). The objective is to unlock the camp-scale, high-grade gold potential along the 15 km Cadillac Fault Zone. It is important to note that Cartier’s recent consolidation of this large land holding offers the unique opportunity in over 90 years for unrestricted exploration.

Environmental Baseline Studies & Economic Evaluation of Chimo mine tailings (Q3 2025 to Q3 2026)

The baseline studies will be divided into two distinct parts which include 1) environmental baseline desktop study and 2) preliminary environmental geochemical characterization. The initial baseline studies will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current environmental conditions and implement operations that minimize environmental impact while optimizing the economic potential of the project. These studies will be supplemented by an initial assessment of the economic potential of the past-producing Chimo mine tailings to determine whether a quantity of gold can be extracted economically.

Metallurgical Sampling and Testwork Program (Q4 2025 to Q1 2026)

The metallurgical testwork program includes defining of expected gold recovery rates and improving historical results from the Chimo deposit, as well as establishing metallurgical recovery data for the first-time for the East Chimo and West Nordeau satellite deposits, where no previous data exists. This comprehensive program will characterize the mineralized material, gold recovery potential and validate optimal grind size defining the most efficient and cost-effective flowsheet. The data generated will directly support optimized project development and have the potential to significantly reduce both capital and operating costs, while also improving the environmental footprint.

* Occurrences of visible gold (VG) have been noted in the drill core at various intervals. ** Based on the observed intercept angles within the drill core, true thicknesses are estimated to represent approximately 50–85 % of the reported core length intervals.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Program

The drill core from the Cadillac Project is NQ-size and, upon receipt from the drill rig, is described and sampled by Cartier geologists. Core is sawn in half, with one half labelled, bagged and submitted for analysis and the other half retained and stored at Cartier’s coreshack facilities located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, for future reference and verification. As part of Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program, Cartier inserts blank samples and certified reference materials (standards) at regular intervals into the sample stream prior to shipment to monitor laboratory performance and analytical accuracy.

Drill core samples are sent to MSALABS’s analytical laboratory located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried and crushed (70% passing a 2-millimeter sieve). The analysis for gold is performed on an approximately 500 g aliquot using Chrysos Photon Assay™ technology, which uses high-energy X-ray excitation with gamma detection to quickly and non-destructively measure gold content.

Alternatively, samples are submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (‘Actlabs’), located in either Val-d’Or or Ste-Germaine-Boulé, both in Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried, crushed (90% passing a 2-millimetre sieve) and 250 g is pulverized (90% passing a 0.07-millimetre sieve). The analysis for gold is conducted using a 50 g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish, with a detection limit up to 10,000 ppb. Samples exceeding this threshold are reanalyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish to determine high-grade values accurately.

Both MSALABS and Actlabs are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited for gold assays and implement industry-standard QA/QC protocols. Their internal quality control programs include the use of blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials at set intervals, with established acceptance criteria to ensure data integrity and analytical precision.

About Cadillac Project

The Cadillac Project, covering 14,000 hectares along a 15-kilometre stretch of the Cadillac Fault, is one of the largest consolidated land packages in the Val-d’Or mining camp. Cartier’s flagship asset integrates the historic Chimo Mine and East Cadillac projects, creating a dominant position in a world class gold mining district. With excellent road access, year-round infrastructure and nearby milling capacity, the project is ideally positioned for rapid advancement and value creation.

Using a gold price of US$1,750/oz, a Preliminary Economic Assessment demonstrated the economic viability of a 2-km segment, compared to the 15 km that will be the subject of the 100,000 m drilling program, with an average annual gold production of 116,900 oz over a 9.7-year mine life. Indicated resources are estimated at 720,000 ounces (7.1 million tonnes at 3.1 g/t Au) and inferred resources at 1,633,000 ounces (18.5 million tonnes at 2.8 g/t Au). Please see the NI 43-101 ″Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment for Chimo Mine and West Nordeau Gold Deposits, Chimo Mine and East Cadillac Properties, Quebec, Canada, Marc R. Beauvais, P.Eng., of InnovExplo Inc., Mr. Florent Baril of Bumigeme and Mr. Eric Sellars, P.Eng. of Responsible Mining Solutions″ effective May 29, 2023.
