CleanAI: The Next Frontier in Climate Tech Investment

Investing 4 Mins Read

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

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

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

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

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

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

The scope and impact of cleanAI technologies

The report identifies six main cleanAI application sectors:

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

Investment trends: Energy power leads, materials and chemicals rising

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

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

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

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

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

Challenges and key themes

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

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

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

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

The future: mainstreaming cleanAI

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

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

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

Crypto Market Update: Senate Democrats Demand Trump Envoy Explain Undivested Crypto Stakes

Investing 5 Mins Read

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (October 22) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$108,323, a 1 percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$107,393, and its highest was US$113,804.

Bitcoin price performance, October 22, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan believes gold’s explosive performance this year could offer a glimpse of what lies ahead for Bitcoin, arguing that the world’s top cryptocurrency may be preparing for a similar structural breakout once its remaining pool of sellers runs dry.

Gold has surged roughly 57 percent in 2025, powered largely by sustained central bank accumulation. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has traded in a relatively narrow range between US$108,000 and US$112,000. According to Hougan, the comparison between the two assets provides a potential roadmap for their trajectory going into next year.

“Don’t look at gold’s meteoric rise with envy. Look at it with anticipation. It could end up showing us where bitcoin is headed,” Hougan wrote in a client note this week.

In addition,wWhile central banks have yet to enter the market, steady accumulation by exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and corporate treasuries has provided a similar source of structural demand.

Since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, institutions and corporations have purchased roughly 1.39 million BTC, far outpacing new supply generated by the network.

Market data this week supports the idea of renewed accumulation. Following a US$19 billion liquidation event earlier this month, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded US$477 million in positive net inflows. This rebound has helped steady institutional confidence even as gold’s rally begins to cool after testing record highs.

Still, Bitcoin remains under short-term pressure, down more than 4 percent over the past week and trading below US$108,000.

Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) was priced at US$3,843.43, a 2.7 percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$3,798.70, and its highest was US$4,106.40.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$184.80, down 2 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$183.38 , and its highest was US$197.26.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.39, a decrease of 2.6 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest was US$2.38 and its highest was US$2.53.

Fear and Greed Index snapshot

Chart via CoinMarketCap.

CMC’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains locked in a state of anxiety, sitting in “fear” territory (29) for seven consecutive days and markings its longest streak since April.

The sentiment gauge’s stagnation reflects a growing sense of caution among investors, as Bitcoin continues to trade within a narrow band between US$103,000 and US$115,000 for nearly two weeks.

Over the past 30 days, the index has been in greed territory for just seven days—the same period when Bitcoin reached its all-time high of YS$126,000 in early October. Since then, investor sentiment has reversed sharply. The current fear phase began on October 11, a day after the largest liquidation event in crypto history erased more than US$20 billion in leveraged positions.

Historically, similar periods of heightened fear have marked turning points for Bitcoin. The last extended stretch of fear occurred in March and April during the Trump administration’s tariff standoff with China, when Bitcoin bottomed near US$76,000.

Market analysts say the prevailing mood underscores uncertainty following the Federal Reserve’s recent policy pivot and renewed US-China trade negotiations.

Today’s crypto news to know

Senate Democrats demand Trump envoy explain undivested crypto stakes

Senate Democrats have called on Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, to explain why he has not divested from his crypto holdings despite federal ethics requirements.

In a letter led by Senator Adam Schiff, eight lawmakers pressed Witkoff for details on his interests in World Liberty Financial, the Trump-linked crypto firm he co-founded in 2024, and several affiliated entities.

Witkoff’s latest ethics disclosure, dated August 13, shows he still owns stakes in multiple crypto-related businesses, including WC Digital Fi LLC and SC Financial Technologies LLC. Lawmakers allege these investments pose potential conflicts of interest given his diplomatic role and the company’s business ties to the United Arab Emirates.

The scrutiny follows a New York Times report linking Witkoff’s crypto dealings to a US$2 billion Emirati investment in Binance funded through World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin, USD1.

Neither the White House nor World Liberty Financial has commented on the matter.

FalconX announced plans to acquire 21Shares

FalconX announced plans to acquire 21Shares, one of Europe’s leading crypto exchange-traded product (ETP) issuers.

The deal, confirmed Wednesday, will integrate FalconX’s prime brokerage operations, which serves over 2,000 institutional clients, with 21Shares’ portfolio of 55 listed products across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets.

21Shares currently oversees more than US$11 billion in assets and will continue operating independently under CEO Russell Barlow following the acquisition.

While the financial terms remain undisclosed, the deal marks FalconX’s third major acquisition this year, following Arbelos Markets and Monarq Asset Management.

Hong Kong approves first spot Solana ETF

Hong Kong regulators have approved the region’s first spot Solana (SOL) exchange-traded fund.

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) granted authorization to China Asset Management Company (ChinaAMC) to launch the Hua Xia Solana ETF on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 27.

The product will trade through OSL Exchange with OSL Digital Securities as sub-custodian and BOCI-Prudential Trustee Limited serving as the primary custodian. Each unit will consist of 100 shares, with a minimum investment of about US$100.

The fund’s debut makes Solana the third cryptocurrency—after Bitcoin and Ethereum—to receive regulatory approval for a spot ETF in Hong Kong.

Traceable Gold Production Linked to Regeneration Efforts in Abandoned Mines

Investing 3 Mins Read

Regeneration, a Washington-based public benefit company, is turning abandoned mine waste in the river valleys of Yukon and British Columbia into responsibly sourced gold.

Founded out of the nonprofit Resolve, Regeneration uses advanced re-mining technology to extract remaining metals from historical placer sites while restoring rivers and habitats damaged by more than a century of mining.

“We shouldn’t let mine waste go to waste–we should treat it as an opportunity,” said Stephen D’Esposito, Regeneration’s president and CEO.

Regeneration’s projects began in Alaska and the Yukon, where decades of placer mining left behind mounds of sediment that smothered salmon-bearing streams.

Re-mining tailings also allows recovery of critical minerals, such as cobalt and rare earths, that earlier miners overlooked or lacked the technology to extract.

But perhaps most importantly, the company’s thrust is hinged on environmental restoration.

“Sometimes days later, we’ve had anadromous fish coming up to a site,” Carly Vynne, the company’s chief restoration officer and a biologist, told CBC.

Vynne described how recontoured riverbeds and replanted vegetation have quickly brought fish back to once-barren creeks. To date, the firm has restored 1,825 meters of streams and 20 acres of upland habitat using proceeds from gold sales.

For brands like Mejuri, partnering with Regeneration bridges environmental repair with consumer expectations. The jeweler also released its newest Salmon Gold collection last year.

The company’s mission has gained momentum as geopolitical and economic tensions send gold prices soaring.

Analysts attribute the metal’s record-breaking October rally to a wave of safe-haven demand triggered by worsening US-China trade tensions, including Beijing’s expanded export restrictions on rare earth elements and Washington’s threats of new tariffs and technology export controls.

Gold first breached the US$4,000 mark on October 8, climbing steadily as investors fled volatile equity markets and a prolonged US government shutdown added to uncertainty.

D’Esposito acknowledges that while the environmental and commercial logic of re-mining is clear, the financial model is still evolving.

“There’s no financial model that the market accepts for how you prove what’s in your tailings,” he said. “Interestingly, it’s not the business of the industry to mine waste.”

Still, with the gold market surging amid geopolitical turmoil and growing interest in ethically sourced metals, Regeneration’s timing could hardly be better.

“When a mine closes, it doesn’t have to be the end of the story,” D’Esposito emphasized.

Canada One Provides Exploration Review of Combination Creek Zone, Copper Dome Project

Investing 9 Mins Read

Canada One Mining Corp. (TSXV: CONE) (OTC Pink: COMCF) (FSE: AU31) (‘Canada One’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an exploration review of the Combination Creek Zone at its 100% owned Copper Dome Project, (‘Copper Dome’, ‘Project’ or ‘Property’), Princeton B.C.

COMBINATION CREEK ZONE HIGHLIGHTS

  • Location: ~3.5 km south of the Copper Mountain Mine deposits

  • Historical Drilling: 5,732m of diamond drilling in 22 holes2

    • Dill Hole PT-12-26: 20.00m of 0.64% Cu, including 14.00m of 0.86%, starting at 141.00m and 145.00m, respectively.

    • Drill Hole PT-11-18: 102.25m of 0.11% Cu, including 6.00m of 0.25%, starting at 3.28m and 74.00m, respectively.

    • Drill Hole PT-10-06: 19.50m of 0.34% Cu, including 4.50m of 0.36% Cu%, starting at 106.50m and 121.50m, respectively.

    • Drill Hole PT-11-21: 69.00m of 0.21% Cu, including 12.00m of 0.49% Cu, starting at 18.00m and 99.00m, respectively.

  • Historical Grab Samples: returning up to 1.97% Cu and 10.7 g/t Ag1

  • Historical Chip Samples: averaging 0.563% Cu and 3.6 g/t Ag over 5 m1

  • Excellent Camp Setting: Intrusive-volcanic contacts beside an operating mine

Peter Berdusco, President and CEO of the Company commented: ‘The Combination Creek zone provides compelling evidence of a mineralizing system extending south from Copper Mountain. Historical work has confirmed strong copper grades across multiple drill holes. The scale of veining, consistent copper mineralization, and proximity to the Copper Mountain mine all suggest we may be exploring within the broader halo of a porphyry centre. As we advance our exploration model, we see clear potential to outline a porphyry-style target next to an operating mill.’

Combination Creek Review

The Combination Creek Zone located in the northeast corner of the Copper Dome Project (See Figure 1: Location Map of the Copper Dome Project) shows stockwork veining associated with altered volcanic and sedimentary rocks adjacent to the Copper Mountain stock. Two historical mineral occurrences have been identified in this area – The Marquis of Lorne and the Skagit 1 Fraction Zone, both of which exhibit strong structural controls on mineralization and sulphide development. Historical mapping and descriptions indicate intense alteration characterized by assemblages of epidote-chlorite-Fe oxide ± albite, with pyrite-chalcopyrite and associated malachite oxidation. The presence of albite and chalcopyrite within the traditionally propylitic chlorite-epidote-pyrite alteration front suggests that this zone may represent a transition toward a higher-temperature potassic domain of a porphyry system.

The best mineralization in the Combination Creek zone drilled to date is found in a 70 to 100m wide section of Nicola volcanics extending at least 250m east west, bounded to the north by the Copper Mountain Stock and to the south by a coarse pink feldspar porphyry syenite dyke.

Selective Historical Drill Results

Drilling by the Company in 2010, 2011 and 2012 in the Combination Creek Zone returned the following highlighted intercepts (See Figure 2: Map of Combination Creek Zone with Selected Historical Drill Hole Locations and Results (Cu):

  • DDH PT-10-01: 20.00m of 0.28% Cu, including 5m of 0.59% Cu, starting at 27.50m.
  • DDH PT-10-02: 47.50m of 0.19% Cu, including 22.50m of 0.26% Cu, starting at 37.00m
  • DDH PT-10-06: 19.50m of 0.34% Cu starting at 106.50m and 3.00m of 0.93% Cu starting at 247m.
  • DDH PT-11-16: 10.00m of 0.65% Cu starting at 231m and 25.31m of 0.21% Cu starting at 3.69m.
  • DDH PT-11-18: 68.25m of 0.14% Cu starting at 3.28m, including 6.00m of 0.25% Cu starting at 74m, and 6.00m of 0.29% Cu starting at 313m.
  • DDH PT-11-21: 69.00m of 0.21% Cu starting at 18.00m, including 12.00m of 0.50% Cu starting at 99.00m.
  • DDH PT-12-26: 20.00m of 0.64% Cu starting at 141.00m, including 14.00m of 0.86% Cu starting at 145.00m.

Mineral Occurrences of the Combination Creek Zone

Marquis of Lorne

The Marquis of Lorne prospect is underlain by the eastern facies of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, composed mainly of mafic augite and hornblende porphyritic pyroclastics and flows. These are intruded by Early Jurassic Copper Mountain and Lost Horse intrusions-diorite, monzonite, and locally pyroxenite and gabbro. Mineralization occurs in shear zones within andesitic and cherty tuffs, close to the Copper Mountain stock, typically within 50m of its margin.

The best-defined shear zone, located 40m south of the stock, hosts strong limonite, jarosite, and malachite alteration, with historical grab samples returning up to 1.97% Cu and 10.7 g/t Ag, and chip samples averaging 0.563% Cu and 3.6 g/t Ag over 5 m. A parallel shear zone 60m southwest returned 1.53% Cu and 17.1 g/t Ag in grab samples. Additional narrow shears 200 m west-southwest show traces of chalcopyrite and malachite with albite alteration.

Skagit 1 Fraction

The Skagit No. 1 prospect shares similar geology with Marquis of Lorne, being hosted in the Upper Triassic Nicola Group volcanic rocks intruded by the Copper Mountain and Lost Horse intrusions. The occurrence consists of several sulphide-rich shear zones and fractures in andesitic tuff and minor volcanic sediments, located within 60m of the Copper Mountain stock. Mineralization includes bornite, chalcopyrite, and malachite, with historical surface chip samples averaging 0.36% Cu and 2.3 g/t Ag over 10 m, and trench samples grading 0.28% Cu and 2.9 g/t Ag over 30 m.1

The property was mapped and sampled by Newmont (1970-71), Kidd Creek Mines (1983), and later Targa Resources (1986). After limited activity for two decades, the Company conducted a major exploration program in 2010, including 26.4 km of induced polarization and magnetometer surveys plus 5,732 metres of diamond drilling in 22 holes. Drilling intersected 0.21% Cu over 69 metres (DDH PT11-21), and geophysical data revealed a strong (>35 ms) chargeability anomaly in the Nicola volcanics south of the Copper Mountain stock, suggesting potential for porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization.1

Ni-Co Energy

Investing 7 Mins Read

Investor Insight

Ni-Co Energy offers investors exposure to high-demand critical minerals through a strategically located, 100 percent owned nickel-copper-cobalt project in Quebec, with strong early-stage drill results, exceptional infrastructure access, and a clear path to discovery in a geopolitically stable jurisdiction.

Overview

Founded in 2023, Ni-Co Energy is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the discovery and development of critical metals, with a particular emphasis on nickel, copper and cobalt. Headquartered in Gatineau, Quebec, the company is actively exploring within the Grenville geological province — a region historically underexplored but considered highly prospective for mineral-rich systems.

Ni-Co Energy’s strategy is rooted in the growing global demand for clean energy technologies, which are placing unprecedented pressure on the supply of battery and electrification metals. Nickel is a core component of high-energy-density battery chemistries used in electric vehicles (EV); copper is vital for electrical transmission, grid expansion and renewable power infrastructure; and cobalt enhances battery stability and longevity. As economies push toward net-zero targets and EV adoption scales globally, secure, ethical and local supply chains for these metals have become a geopolitical and economic priority.

Ni-Co Energy’s focus on magmatic massive sulfide style deposits is one of its unique value propositions. These deposits are among the most economically significant sources of base metals worldwide. The systems are known for forming high-grade, multi-metallic ore bodies containing copper, zinc, lead, gold, silver and, crucially for Ni-Co Energy’s portfolio, nickel and cobalt. These types of deposits tend to occur in clusters and can support scalable, long-life mining operations with strong by-product credits, enhancing overall project economics. Discovering and advancing a deposit gives Ni-Co Energy a competitive edge in tapping into premium metal markets where supply is tightening.

With a clear focus on modern geophysical tools and systematic exploration, Ni-Co Energy is positioning itself to become a key player in the Canadian critical minerals sector — delivering value not only through discovery, but by aligning with the broader shift toward decarbonization and supply chain resilience.

Company Highlights

  • Ni-Co Energy targets high-demand metals essential to the energy transition: nickel, copper and cobalt, with applications in EV batteries, energy storage and electrification infrastructure.
  • The flagship Kremer project is a 100 owned, 15,375-hectare property located 90 km to the north from downtown Montreal (but 15 km away from the nearest town) in the highly prospective Grenville Geological Province in Quebec.
  • Airborne and ground EM surveys revealed an 8-kilometer-long EM conductor corridor, with overlapping gravity and MAG anomalies, and multiple surface showings.
  • The project is road-accessible year-round via Route 347 and forestry roads, with power lines nearby and proximity to regional mining services.
  • A two-phase, C$2 million exploration program planned for 2025, including an 8000-meter drilling campaign along with borehole TDEM focused on high-priority geophysical and geochemical targets.

Key Project

Kremer Project

The 100 percent owned Kremer project is Ni-Co Energy’s flagship exploration asset and a prime example of the company’s focus on uncovering critical mineral resources within geologically favorable but underexplored regions. Located approximately 90 kilometers from downtown Montreal and about 15 km northwest of Saint-Côme, the Kremer property enjoys excellent accessibility and infrastructure — a significant advantage for an early-stage exploration project.

The project comprises 233 mining claims covering 15,375 hectares, within the Grenville geological province, an area known for its potential to host nickel-copper-cobalt magmatic sulfide systems, particularly along the margins of a large anorthosite intrusion. The property benefits from its proximity to paved highways, well-maintained logging roads, powerlines and skilled labor pools. These logistical advantages significantly reduce exploration costs and timelines while positioning the project favorably for future development and potential production scenarios.

Geological Characteristics and Exploration History

The property is underlain primarily by paragneiss rocks of the Grenville province and lies near the Morin Anorthosite Complex, a large intrusive body known to host iron-titanium-vanadium and nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization. Historical grab samples from around the “Lac à la Mélasse” area have returned values up to 3,547 parts per million (ppm) nickel, 1,107 ppm copper, and 924 ppm cobalt, supporting the district’s critical mineral potential

In 2021 and 2022, Ni-Co Energy completed airborne magnetic and time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys, covering 1,659 line-kilometers. These surveys identified numerous EM conductors, particularly concentrated in the northwestern sector of the property. A ground gravity survey conducted in 2024 detected multiple weak to moderate positive anomalies, suggesting the presence of sulfide-rich bodies or lenses that could host nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization.

The company’s 2023 maiden diamond drilling campaign included 22 drill holes totaling 4,201 meters. Of these, a significant proportion intersected massive (>50 percent) and semi-massive (<50 percent) sulfide mineralization. Highlights include:

  • DDH 20-2023: 1.73 percent nickel, 0.85 percent copper over 2.95 meters
  • DDH 04-2023: 1.58 percent nickel, 0.42 percent copper over 2.70 meters
  • DDH 21-2023: 1.46 percent nickel, 0.71 percent copper over 1.80 meters

Advancements and Future Prospects

In 2024, Ni-Co Energy deployed a suite of advanced geophysical tools, including drone-based magnetics, ground gravimetric surveys, and borehole TDEM, to sharpen its geological targeting. These efforts identified two major mineralized zones:

Northwest Zone: This drilled zone features continuous surface mineralization extending over 700 meters, exposed every 25 to 50 meters, with blown trenching done at two places up to 1 meter deep to verify mineral continuity.

Southeast Zone: A newly uncovered area approximately 7 km from the current drilling site, exhibiting fresh nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization indices and offering substantial exploration upside.

Ground EM, MAG and gravity surveys are overlapping in the central 3-km long zone. This highly prospective area is believed to host a mafic intrusion buried at shallow depth and will be drill tested during the 2025 program. Ni-Co Energy also intends to do some step-out drilling in the already drilled northwest zone to confirm mineralization extent.

With infrastructure in place and geophysical indicators pointing to scale, the Kremer project offers a compelling combination of accessibility, geological potential and alignment with critical mineral supply priorities.

For 2025, Ni-Co Energy plans to implement a two-phase exploration program with a combined budget of over C$2 million. The programs includes follow-up drilling based on overlapping structural, geophysical, and geochemical anomalies

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

Investing 9 Mins Read

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.

Angkor Resources Advances Drilling Plans On Block VIII Oil & Gas License, Cambodia

Investing 6 Mins Read

(TheNewswire)

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA – October 21, 2025 TheNewswire – Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces management’s intent for exploratory oil and gas drilling on Block VIII, Cambodia.

Angkor’s subsidiary EnerCam Resources Co. Cambodia Ltd. (‘EnerCam’) completed approximately 350-line kilometres of 2-D seismic across Block VIII in southwest Cambodia at the end of September 2025.  These seismic lines are being processed and interpreted in batches and both the South Bokor and Central Bokor sections have identified at least three significant closed anticlines, one in South Bokor and two in Central Bokor  the northern one being probably larger than currently imaged due to a lack of extra seismic line data in that area of the sub-basin.

CEO Delayne Weeks comments on the findings to date, ‘Although we await results from additional seismic lines, we are confident and very motivated with the interpretations of the data to date. Angkor Resources IDENTIFIES SECOND DRILL TARGET FOR OIL & GAS ON ITS BLOCK VIII, CAMBODIA | Angkor Resources Corp. Even with only half the interpretation of the seismic lines in hand, based on those results, we confirm that EnerCam is committed to drilling multiple exploratory wells in 2026.  These structures are of a quality and size that need to be tested and drilling is the only way to prove up Cambodia’s first onshore oil and gas resource.’

Dr. David Johnson, technical advisor to EnerCam, comments: ‘ Angkor’s decision to pursue drilling of both the South Bokor and Central Bokor structurally closed leads is extremely exciting and well founded. It is rare to find anticlines with four-way closures of over 48 square kilometres and 60 square kilometres respectively in a large sedimentary basin with indications of a working hydrocarbon system, and which have not yet been drilled. The anticlines present themselves clearly and are unmistakable in both the seismic line data and also in the surrounding surface geology.

The indications of a working hydrocarbon system are evident in the multiple legacy and newly discovered surface live oil seeps located within each of these sub-basins, and in adjacent basin areas. ‘

Dave Johnson continues his assessment, ‘ While seismic processing and interpretation is not yet complete, a potential thick ribbon-like top seal presents itself in multiple sections as a thick layer with clear, continuous, conformable reflectors (see Figure 3), consistent with mudstone and lower energy depositional environments.

An underlying potential reservoir-bearing section presents itself as a thick succession of semi-continuous higher amplitude reflectors with a cross-cutting habit, consistent with higher energy siliciclastic environments, or some carbonate facies development perhaps.  It is currently impossible to know for sure what these seismic facies represent in terms of sealing integrity, or both reservoir presence and quality, without drilling an exploratory wellbore to sufficient depth.

It is however, possible to estimate that the rock volume of a single ‘1 metre thickness reservoir zone’ under proven 4-way closure as 48 million and 60 million cubic metres respectively. There are indications of what geophysicists refer to as Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHIs), and there is the potential for there being multiple layers of reservoir strata, satisfying the first essential requirement for the presence of significant hydrocarbon accumulation in place beneath the closed sealing formation cap layer.

Work is ongoing to better understand the potential hydrocarbon system and to reduce the risks associated with reservoir quality, seal integrity and source quality.  But only the drill bit will prove the true potential of these prospects.’

Management advances its activities, including sourcing a suitable oil and gas drilling rig and all the appropriate supporting equipment and ancillary services to bring into Cambodia to complete what will be the first onshore wells drilled in the nation.  Concurrently, the team is also working on efforts to improve the signal to noise data over each processed line as it becomes available to develop a stronger and broader picture of the potential in Block VIII.

Beijing to Scrap Platinum Import Tax Rebate, Opening Market to New Entrants

Investing 2 Mins Read

China will end a two-decade-old platinum tax rebate for its state-owned importer, potentially opening the market for new entrants.

According to a Bloomberg report, the Ministry of Finance announced that effective November 1, it will begin collecting a 13 percent value-added tax (VAT) on sales of domestically produced and imported platinum, including imports of platinum jewelry.

The change effectively dismantles the long-standing monopoly held by China Platinum, which had been the only entity allowed to import platinum tax-free since 2003.

“Removing the VAT refund actually is quite a significant step for the platinum market in China,” said Weibin Deng, regional head for Asia Pacific at the World Platinum Investment Council. “Potential rival firms had been suffering for many years because the policy was only granted to one particular company.”

With the tax advantage gone, analysts expect new entrants to begin competing in the Chinese market for the first time in years.

“As new entrants begin trading platinum on an equal footing, a more liquid two-way market should develop,” Deng added, noting that industrial users would finally be able to hedge against price swings.

On Monday (October 20), platinum prices on the Shanghai Gold Exchange surged to a premium of more than 10 percent over global benchmark spot prices as traders scrambled to lock in purchases before the November 1 deadline.

Platinum has been one of the best-performing commodities in 2025, climbing roughly 77 percent to breach US$1,600 per ounce—its highest level since 2013.

About 70 percent of global platinum demand comes from the automotive and industrial sectors, where the metal is used in catalytic converters and laboratory equipment, while jewelry accounts for nearly a quarter of consumption.

According to the World Platinum Investment Council’s Q2 Platinum Quarterly, global mine supply is expected to fall 6 percent this year to 5.43 million ounces, deepening an 850,000-ounce deficit that marks the third consecutive year of shortages.

South Africa, which produces about 70 percent of the world’s platinum, has faced prolonged operational and energy constraints, further squeezing output.

Demand, meanwhile, appears resilient. Analysts point to the sustained use of platinum in hybrid vehicle catalytic converters and its growing role in hydrogen fuel cells as key demand drivers.

Securities Disclosure: I, Giann Liguid, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article.
