World-Premier Cancer Center Sheba Medical Center Selects Entolimod for Clinical Trial, Potentially Expanding Valion Bio into the Multi-Billion-Dollar Neutropenia Market
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Sheba Medical Center, which is ranked the #7 hospital in the world, has chosen to evaluate and fund a trial of Valion Bio's Entolimod in cancer patients, creating a second clinical development pathway beyond Acute Radiation Syndrome.

Highlights

Independent Validation — Sheba Medical Center, ranked the #7 hospital in the world, selected Entolimod for clinical evaluation in cancer patients based on its potential to reduce radiation-induced neutropenia and protect healthy tissue during radiation therapy. Second Major Commercial Opportunity — This study expands Entolimod beyond Acute Radiation Syndrome into radiation-induced neutropenia and supportive oncology care, representing a substantially larger commercial market. Independent Clinical Value Driver — The study establishes a second clinical development pathway alongside Valion Bio's FDA Animal Rule program, as a medical countermeasure for Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS). Capital Efficient Development — Sheba is planning to fund and conduct the trial, enabling Valion Bio to generate independent clinical data with minimal incremental investment. , /PRNewswire/ -- Valion Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: VBIO) today announced a major clinical development milestone with the finalization of an clinical trial protocol at Sheba Medical Center, one of the world's leading hospitals, to evaluate Entolimod in cancer patients receiving high doses of irradiation for a rare form of cancer.

The study, which will enroll up to 10 adult patients, will be conducted by Sheba Medical Center, which approached Valion Bio after recognizing Entolimod's potential to reduce radiation-induced neutropenia and protect healthy tissue during radiation therapy. Under the collaboration, Sheba is planning to fund and conduct the clinical trial, while Valion Bio will provide the investigational drug and support only limited study-related activities outside the standard of care, creating a potential highly capital-efficient opportunity to generate independent clinical data.

"This is a major value-creation milestone for Valion Bio and our shareholders," said Michael K. Handley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Valion Bio. "One of the world's premier hospitals and research centers recognized the potential of Entolimod and approached us to conduct this study. Their willingness to invest their own resources to evaluate Entolimod represents meaningful external validation of our science. More importantly, this collaboration could expand Entolimod beyond biodefense into the multi-billion-dollar supportive oncology market. If successful, Entolimod has the potential to become an important therapy for reducing radiation-induced neutropenia and protecting healthy tissue during cancer treatment, creating a second and potentially much larger commercial opportunity for our lead drug, Entolimod."

Expanding Beyond Biodefense

Entolimod is currently being developed under the U.S. FDA's Animal Rule as a medical countermeasure for Acute Radiation Syndrome. The Sheba study is the first reported formal clinical evaluation of Entolimod in cancer patients receiving therapeutic radiation and represents an important step toward expanding the platform into oncology.

Cancer patients receiving high doses of radiation frequently develop neutropenia, leading to infections, treatment delays, and reduced treatment intensity. The Sheba study will evaluate whether Entolimod can preserve bone marrow function, reduce neutropenia, and improve patients' ability to complete potentially curative radiation therapy.

Sheba Neutropenia Study Near-Term Clinical Catalysts

The Company expects the following development milestones, subject to regulatory and operational requirements:

Institutional Review Board approval: Expected Q3 2026 First patient enrolled: Expected Q4 2026-Q1 2027 Interim data readout: Expected during early 2027 Topline data: Expected in 2027 Each milestone represents an anticipated opportunity to further demonstrate Entolimod's clinical and market potential, as well as a potential opportunity to expand shareholder value.

Sheba Medical Center, located in Tel Hashomer, Israel, is the largest medical center in the Middle East. Sheba was ranked the #7 hospital in the world in Newsweek's 2026 World's Best Hospitals ranking and is recognized among the World's Best Specialized Hospitals for Oncology.

Predominantly third-line pancreatic cancer patients demonstrated durable survival despite advanced disease; patient who received Namodenoson as second-line therapy remains alive more than 18 months

Ramat Gan, Israel, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (NYSE American: CANF) (TASE: CANF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs targeting oncological and inflammatory diseases, today announced that an abstract highlighting positive results from its Phase 2a study of Namodenoson in patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), has been accepted for poster presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026.

The accepted abstract, entitled "Durable Disease Stabilization with Namodenoson in Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Results from a Phase 2a Study," will be presented as a poster during the ESMO Congress, one of the world's premier scientific meetings in oncology.

The Phase 2a study evaluated oral Namodenoson in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who had progressed following prior standard therapies. As previously announced, the study successfully achieved its primary safety endpoint and demonstrated encouraging survival outcomes together with durable disease stabilization in this difficult-to-treat patient population.

"We are pleased that our abstract has been selected for presentation at ESMO, one of the most prestigious international oncology conferences," said Pnina Fishman, Ph.D., Chairperson and Chief Scientific Officer of Can-Fite BioPharma. "Acceptance by ESMO provides important scientific recognition of our pancreatic cancer program and offers an opportunity to present our clinical findings to the global oncology community. We believe these data further support the continued development of Namodenoson for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer."

Namodenoson is a highly selective A3 adenosine receptor agonist with a unique mechanism of action that induces apoptosis of cancer cells while exhibiting an excellent safety profile. The drug has demonstrated anti-tumor activity across multiple preclinical models, including pancreatic cancer, and is also being developed for hepatocellular carcinoma and MASH.

Can-Fite is currently planning the next stage of clinical development for Namodenoson in pancreatic cancer, with a Phase 2b study designed to evaluate Namodenoson in combination with chemotherapy based on encouraging clinical findings and supportive preclinical evidence demonstrating synergistic anti-tumor activity.

Additional details regarding the poster presentation, including presentation date, session information, and poster number, will be announced when they become available.

About Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is among the most aggressive malignancies and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Patients with advanced disease who progress following standard therapies have limited treatment options and continue to face poor clinical outcomes, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic approaches.

About Namodenoson

Namodenoson is a small orally bioavailable drug that binds with high affinity and selectivity to the A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR). Namodenoson is currently being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 trial for advanced liver cancer, concluded successfully a Phase 2a study in pancreatic cancer and is enrolling patients in a Phase 2b trial for the treatment of Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). A3AR is highly expressed in diseased cells whereas low expression is found in normal cells. This differential expression may be one of the important factors that accounts for the excellent safety profile of the drug.

About Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd.

Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (NYSE American: CANF) (TASE: CANF) is an advanced clinical stage drug development Company with a platform technology that is designed to address multi-billion dollar markets in the treatment of cancer, liver, and inflammatory disease. The Company’s lead drug candidate, Piclidenoson recently reported topline results in a Phase 3 trial for psoriasis and commenced a pivotal Phase 3 trial. Can-Fite’s liver drug, Namodenoson, is being evaluated in a Phase III trial for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a Phase 2b trial for the treatment of MASH, and in a Phase 2a study in pancreatic cancer. Namodenoson has been granted Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. and Europe and Fast Track Designation as a second line treatment for HCC by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Namodenoson has also shown proof of concept to potentially treat other cancers including colon, prostate, and melanoma.

Thank you very much, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining this, which is our quarter 1 trading update call, and that covers the 13 weeks to the 27th of June this year. As usual, I'm joined on the call this morning by Duncan Leggett, our CFO.

So on to the quarter 1 results then. Firstly, I am pleased to say that once again, we've grown our branded sales ahead of the market. That's up 4% and so further increased our market shares. And this was led by a particularly strong performance by our branded Sweet Treats. And with our biggest brand, Mr Kipling, delivering especially strong growth.

Premier Foods Q1 Earnings Call Highlights

FMP Stock News
Original source text
Premier Foods LON: PFD said first-quarter sales rose as growth in its branded portfolio offset continued pruning of lower-margin non-branded grocery contracts, and the company left its trading profit expectations for the year unchanged.

Chief Executive Alex Whitehouse told analysts that the update covered the 13 weeks to June 27 and said the company was “on track at this early stage in the year.” Group sales increased 2.7%, while U.K. branded sales rose 3.8%. Overall branded sales were up 4%, which Whitehouse said was ahead of the market and helped the company gain further market share.

Whitehouse attributed the performance to Premier Foods’ “Branded Growth Model,” which he described as a focus on leading brands, consumer-led product development, advertising and marketing, digital engagement and close work with retailers on category growth and in-store execution.

Get Premier Foods alerts:

Sweet Treats Led by Mr Kipling Growth Branded sweet treats sales rose 6.6% in the quarter, led by Mr Kipling, which grew by more than 9%. Whitehouse said Premier Foods’ branded sweet treats have now grown by an average of 8% over the last 11 quarters.

He said innovation continued to support the category, alongside strength in the core product ranges. Recent launches included Mr Kipling Birthday Cake Slices, which followed the company’s Birthday Cake Tarts, and a new range of Mr Kipling Whirls in flavors including Cookies & Cream. Whitehouse said the birthday cake flavor was inspired by a trend observed in the U.S., while the Whirls range was designed to appeal to younger consumers.

Other recent innovation included Mr Kipling Cake Bites, aimed at sharing and portion control, and Mr Kipling Breakfast Bakes, which the company said target a different time of day from much of the brand’s existing consumption.

Grocery Brands Grow, Non-Branded Business Still Being Reshaped Premier Foods’ branded grocery sales increased 3% from a year earlier. New products included Ambrosia custard pouches, which Whitehouse described as convenient lunchbox options containing 100 calories per pouch; Loyd Grossman premium cooking sauce kits in a three-step format; and Nissin Kanzen meals in a pot, which he said contain more than 20 grams of protein and 26 essential vitamins and minerals.

The company also cited contributions from products launched last year, including OXO Bone Broth and Angel Delight Bubble Jelly, which Whitehouse said supported sales growth and share gains.

Non-branded sweet treats sales increased 5.3%, helped by stronger volumes in pies and tarts and a contract win for cake slices. Whitehouse said the company now expects modest growth in non-branded sweet treats for the year.

Non-branded grocery sales were GBP 2.5 million lower in the quarter as Premier Foods continued to exit some contracts. Whitehouse said the company has been “right-sizing” that part of the business, with a medium-term aim for non-branded operations to be flat or deliver modest low-single-digit growth.

In response to a question from Jefferies analyst Andrew Wade, Whitehouse said the exited contracts represented “relatively hollow revenue” with little or no profit impact. He said the non-branded grocery business is now smaller but “significantly more profitable,” though it will take longer to complete that process than in sweet treats.

Acquired Brands and New Categories Continue to Expand Sales in new categories increased 16% from last year, following 38% growth in the comparable period a year earlier. Whitehouse highlighted Cape Herb & Spice as a strong performer, saying it had become an established presence in the market and helped reduce seasonality in the grocery business by supporting meals and barbecue occasions.

He also pointed to FUEL10K yogurt and granola, a chilled product launched last year that combines protein-enriched yogurt with granola in a separate lid.

Premier Foods said its three acquired brands — The Spice Tailor, FUEL10K and Merchant Gourmet — each grew sales by double digits in the quarter. Merchant Gourmet saw growth across its range, including new Gourmet Baked Beans. FUEL10K continued to gain share in granola, with Whitehouse noting that its Chocolate Granola remained the No. 1 granola product in the U.K. market. The Spice Tailor’s core Indian kits range also performed strongly, with brand sales growing in the teens percentage range.

Whitehouse said the company continues to look for acquisition opportunities in “future focused brands” where it can apply its branded growth model, while noting that Premier Foods remains selective.

International Sales Rise as Australia Stabilizes International sales rose 6% at constant currency and 7% on a reported basis. Whitehouse said Premier Foods’ focus markets remain Australasia, North America and EMEA, with attention on Mr Kipling, Sharwood’s, The Spice Tailor and FUEL10K.

In Europe, sales grew by double digits, supported by the launch of FUEL10K in the Netherlands, Germany and France. Whitehouse said the Netherlands had achieved the most significant distribution, with granola and porridge pots listed in Albert Heijn.

North America also delivered double-digit growth. In Canada, Premier Foods saw higher sales of The Spice Tailor, while in the U.S. growth reflected new distribution for Mr Kipling slices and pies that began in the second half of last year, as well as more recent listings.

In Australia, The Spice Tailor sales grew more than 20%, helped by a multi-channel marketing campaign that included television advertising and a retail experience in a major shopping center. Whitehouse said cake sales in Australia had stabilized as retailer stock levels began to normalize.

Asked by Investec analyst Matthew Webb why international growth was 6% despite double-digit growth in several regions, Whitehouse said Australia is a much larger and more established market for Premier Foods, and overall sales there were “pretty flat” as stock levels continued to normalize. He said the outcome was better than expected and that the company had made progress working with retailers on logistics and ordering levels.

Q&A: Ireland, Input Costs and Easter Timing Peel Hunt analyst Charles Hall asked about Ireland, where Premier Foods moved from a distributor arrangement to direct retail delivery with a significant retailer. Whitehouse said the change created a one-off first-quarter impact as distributor stocks were run down, amounting to “a couple of million GBP or so” of branded grocery sales. He said the direct relationship is more efficient, saves money and gives the company more control.

On input costs and pricing, Whitehouse said the picture was similar to previous guidance. While the company was monitoring developments closely, he said it did not currently appear to need pricing action.

Wade also asked about the cadence of innovation. Whitehouse said there had been a “subtle change” over several years, with Premier Foods focusing less on the absolute number of new products and more on ideas with greater potential scale. He cited OXO Bone Broth as a product the company expects can scale to several million pounds of turnover.

Webb asked about the timing of Easter, noting prior comments that some sales had benefited the previous fourth quarter. Whitehouse confirmed that deliveries ahead of Easter had boosted the fourth quarter at the expense of the first quarter, and said first-quarter branded grocery and sweet treats would have been stronger on a like-for-like Easter timing basis.

Whitehouse closed the call by saying the first quarter is not Premier Foods’ largest period, with demand typically stronger later in the year when weather turns colder, but said the company was “off to a good start” and reiterated that there was no change to the outlook for the year.

TORONTO, July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier American Uranium Inc. (“PUR”, the “Company” or “Premier American Uranium”) (TSXV: PUR) (OTCQB: PAUIF) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its drilling program at the Company's wholly owned Cebolleta Uranium Project (“Cebolleta” or the “Project”) in New Mexico. As announced in a press release on May 12, 2026, the program was designed to recover representative samples from the underground resource area to support advanced technical studies as part of the Company’s 2026 work program focused on advancing process optimization and Project economics. The recovered samples have now been delivered to Hazen Research, Inc. (“Hazen Research”), the Company’s contracted metallurgical laboratory in Golden, Colorado, where they will support a planned comprehensive metallurgical testing program aimed at optimizing heap-leach uranium recovery and informing key assumptions for future economic studies including a planned update to the Company’s current Preliminary Economic Assessment with respect to the Project (the “2025 PEA”) targeted for completion in 2027.

Highlights

Representative Drill Program Successfully Completed: Completion of a 6,030-foot PQ-core drilling program. Core drilling occurred at four locations targeting mineralization representative of the underground mining portion of the Company’s current Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Project included in the 2025 PEA. To obtain sufficient sample volume for metallurgical tests, mineralized core was collected from a total of 18 vertical holes (4 to 6 per location) with results summarized in Table 1. Downhole gamma results are generally consistent with historic drilling and the Company’s 2023 confirmation drilling program and will be added to the drilling database for the planned updated MRE in the 2027 PEA.
 Metallurgical Samples Delivered to Hazen Research: Delivery of 77 core samples to Hazen Research. Combined mineralized PQ-core samples totaled 282.6 feet (85.9 m) and 2,124 pounds (963.3 kg). Selection of core samples was guided by handheld scintillometer readings in a sterile background combined with downhole gamma results, utilizing a cutoff grade of 0.06% eU3O8, the underground mining cut-off grade used in the 2025 PEA.
 High Sample Recovery Enables Expanded Metallurgical Testing Program: Drilling conditions achieved 97% footage recovery in mineralized zones and an overall mass recovery of 90%, exceeding the target sample mass of 800 kg by 20%. The recovered material provided representative samples for the planned metallurgical test program. Sample preparation by Hazen Research is underway, and the Company anticipates the extra sample material will facilitate additional laboratory tests including density, chemical disequilibrium, and a larger suite of geochemical analyses. Colin Healey, CEO of PUR commented, “We are pleased with the progress being made to advance and optimize Cebolleta. With representative underground and open-pit samples now with Hazen Research, our comprehensive metallurgical program is underway with the goal of optimizing uranium recoveries and refining processing assumptions for future engineering and economic studies. As demonstrated in our 2025 PEA, increasing metallurgical recovery from 80% to 90% has the potential to increase the after-tax NPV (8%) by approximately 90%, from US$84 million to US$159 million, if test work can successfully validate this potential. This program is designed to evaluate those opportunities and support the continued advancement of the Cebolleta Project.” 

The results of the 2025 PEA are included in a Technical Report (the “Technical Report”) prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 by SLR International Corporation (“SLR”), an independent consulting firm with extensive experience in mining and mineral processing, including uranium operations in the United States. The 2025 PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the 2025 PEA will be realized.

Metallurgical Testing

Under the guidance of Dr. Terence (“Terry”) McNulty, P.E., of T.P. McNulty and Associates, a metallurgical consultant to the Company and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), Hazen Research has commenced a metallurgical testing program including mineralogical characterization, bottle roll recovery testing, and long-term column leach tests to simulate heap leaching utilizing both the underground core samples referenced herein and the open-pit bulk sample delivered in March 2026.

Bottle roll and column leach tests will examine multiple oxidants, lixiviants, and application rates to assess uranium recovery characteristics and support future engineering and economic studies. The Company expects to report key findings as the metallurgical testing progresses.

Table 1 Notes:

2026 drill hole IDs are from the current core drilling program. 2023 Twin drill hole IDs are from the Company's 2023 confirmation drilling program. Historic drill hole IDs are historic drill holes completed by Sohio Western Mining Co. Historical and twin holes are presented for comparison purposes.All drill holes were vertical (90 degrees) through flat lying strata. Measured and reported intercepts represent true thicknesses.Downhole geophysical surveys included natural gamma, self-potential (SP) and single point resistivity (SPR) measurements and were completed by the Company with direct oversight by management with 20 years’ experience performing downhole gamma surveys in connection with uranium exploration.Natural gamma, SP and SPR were measured using a 40LGR-1000 downhole gamma probe manufactured in 2024 by Mount Sopris Instrument Company.Contemporaneous gamma calibration of the 40LGR-1000 probe was completed by the Company at the U.S. Department of Energy's calibration facility in Grand Junction, Colorado on March 18, 2026, measuring a Dead Time (DT) of 2.89 microseconds and K Factor of 5.93×10-6. A Mud Factor (MF) of 1.18 was derived from Century Geophysical LLC’s Mud Factor Correction Chart using the true measured hole diameter of 5.0 inches and true measured drilling mud weight of 8.4 pounds per gallon (ppg). Pipe Factor (PF) was calculated comparing downhole gamma results at 465 identical 0.1-foot intervals measured within and without the core drill pipe through the mineralized zone of LJ-25 2026 A, yielding a no-pipe:pipe mean ratio of 1.52, median ratio of 1.52, with low skew of 0.15 (PF only applicable for RLB-83 2026 F and LJ-25 2026 D).Calibration factor summary: Dead Time (DT) 2.89 ; K Factor (K) 5.93×10-6; Mud Factor (MF) 1.18; Pipe Factor (PF) 1.52;Grade (% eU3O8) calculated using standard 2KN formula with natural gamma results expressed in counts per second (CPS) at 0.1-foot intervals:
2026 results are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.06% eU3O8 in conformance with the underground mining cut-off grade utilized to calculate the MRE in the 2025 PEA.eU₃O₈ grades are equivalent uranium grades derived from calibrated downhole natural gamma surveys and have not been verified by chemical assays. Numerous historical comparisons of eU₃O₈ and chemical assays of core samples from the Project indicate that eU₃O₈ is a reasonable indicator of the actual uranium assay.Numbers in table may not add due to rounding and 3% footage recovery loss.

PGIM AAA CLO Aggregate Duration ETF Risk Disclosure

As an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF), risks of investing in the Fund include, but are not limited to the following: The Fund is subject to authorized participant concentration risk and the risks of transacting in cash versus in-kind. ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and may lack an active trading market. Additional costs may be incurred when transacting through a broker. Collateralized loan obligations are subject to credit, interest rate, valuation and prepayment and extension risks, as well as risk of default on the underlying asset. Collateralized loan obligation (CLO) managers may have limited operating histories and may be subject to conflicts of interest that may incentivize maximizing the yield, and indirectly the risk, of a CLO. Fixed income investments are subject to credit, market, prepayment and interest rate risks, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. Leveraging techniques may magnify losses. As a “fund of funds,” the Fund is subject to the performance and risks of the underlying funds and their investments. Foreign securities are subject to currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. Derivatives may carry market, credit and liquidity risks.

ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and may lack an active trading market. Additional costs may be incurred when transacting through a broker. Collateralized loan obligations are subject to credit, interest rate, valuation and prepayment and extension risks, as well as risk of default on the underlying asset. Collateralized loan obligation (CLO) managers may have limited operating histories and may be subject to conflicts of interest that may incentivize maximizing the yield, and indirectly the risk, of a CLO. Fixed income investments are subject to credit, market, prepayment and interest rate risks, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. Floating rate and other loans are subject to the risk that failure to receive scheduled interest or principal payments on a loan would adversely affect the income of the Fund and would likely reduce the value of its assets. High yield (“junk”) bonds are subject to greater credit and market risks. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to a similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. Holders of structured product securities bear the risks of the underlying investments, index or reference obligation. Investments in currency may result in a decline in the Fund’s net asset value due to changes in exchange rates. Foreign securities are subject to currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. Derivatives may carry market, credit and liquidity risks. Leveraging techniques may magnify losses. The Fund has a limited operating history, and investment positions may have a disproportionate impact on performance. There is no guarantee the Fund’s objective will be achieved.

There is no guarantee the Fund’s objective will be achieved. Risks are more fully explained in the fund’s prospectus.

The Morningstar Medalist Rating is the summary expression of Morningstar’s forward‑looking analysis of investment strategies as offered via specific vehicles using a rating scale of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, and Negative. These ratings indicate which investments Morningstar believes are likely to outperform their Morningstar Category average on a risk‑adjusted basis over time. Investment products are evaluated on three fundamental pillars (People, Parent, and Process) and the Medalist Rating Price Score, which forms the basis for Morningstar’s conviction in products’ investment merits and determines the Medalist Rating assigned. Ratings take the form of Low (‑2), Below Average (‑1), Average (0), Above Average (+1), and High (+2). Pillars may be evaluated via an analyst’s qualitative assessment (either directly to a vehicle the analyst covers or indirectly when the pillar ratings of a covered vehicle are mapped to a related uncovered vehicle) or using algorithmic techniques. The cost of an investment product is evaluated using the Medalist Rating Price Score, which is a continuous score from -2.5 to +2.5 based on the percentile rank of a vehicle’s expense ratio within its Morningstar Category. Morningstar combines the pillar scores and Medalist Rating Price Score using predetermined weights for actively and passively managed vehicles to calculate a weighted score. The weighted score is then compared to fixed thresholds employed consistently across Morningstar Categories and regions, with separate thresholds for actively and passively managed investments. Rating thresholds are reviewed at least annually. Buffers and ratings caps help prevent frequent ratings changes. When analysts directly cover a vehicle, they assign the fundamental pillar ratings based on their qualitative assessment, subject to Analyst Rating Committee oversight, and monitor and reevaluate them approximately once a year. When vehicles are covered either indirectly by analysts or by algorithm, the ratings are assigned monthly. For more detailed information about the Medalist Ratings, including their methodology, please visit: http://global.morningstar.com/managerdisclosures. The Morningstar Medalist Ratings are not statements of fact, nor are they credit or risk ratings. The Morningstar Medalist Rating (i) should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating an investment product, (ii) involves unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what was expected, (iii) is not guaranteed to be based on complete or accurate assumptions or models when determined algorithmically, (iv) involves the risk that return targets will not be met due to unforeseen changes in management, technology, economic development, interest rate development, operating and/or material costs, competitive pressure, supervisory law, exchange rates, tax rates, or political and social conditions, and (v) should not be considered an offer or solicitation to buy or sell the investment product. A change in the fundamental factors underlying the Morningstar Medalist Rating may result in the rating no longer being accurate. Analysts do not have any other material conflicts of interest at the time of publication. Users wishing to obtain further information should contact their local Morningstar office.

Flash Sports & Media, Holdings Inc. (FLZH) Announces Lanka Premier League 2026 Schedule; Vijay Shankar-Moeen Ali's Kandy Royals Face Dambulla Sixers as Defending Champions Jaffna Kings Open Against Galle Gallants

Original source text
Sinhala commentary and a globally stacked player pool set the stage for LPL's strongest regional and international season yet

Innovative Production Group FZ, LLC ("IPG"), a subsidiary of Flash Sports & Media Holdings, confirms a July 17–August 8 window for the league's sixth edition; expanded Sinhala-language commentary and more than 650 overseas registrations from 21 countries underscore growing global reach

Colombo, Sri Lanka--(Newsfile Corp. - June 29, 2026) - Flash Sports & Media Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLZH) ("Flash" or the "Company") today announced the confirmed fixtures for the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2026, which the Company expects to be its biggest and most connected season to date. The sixth edition will run from July 17 to August 8, 2026, opening under lights at Colombo's Sinhalese Sports Club Cricket Ground, where defending champions Jaffna Kings — captained by Sri Lanka's Bhanuka Rajapaksa and powered by Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan — begin their title defense against Dasun Shanaka's Galle Gallants.

The opening weekend shifts quickly into another marquee contest as Indian international Vijay Shankar and England white-ball star Moeen Ali lead the Kandy Royals against the Dambulla Sixers on July 18. Across three weeks of competition, five franchises will contest a double round-robin league stage before the playoffs in Colombo — a structure the Company believes reflects both the league's growing international standing and Sri Lanka's continued ability to attract top-tier cricketing talent.

LPL 2026 brings together one of the strongest line-ups in the competition's history. The Kandy Royals headline with Shankar, Moeen, Angelo Mathews and Wanindu Hasaranga, while Jaffna Kings retain a formidable championship core featuring Shakib, Taskin Ahmed, Rajapaksa and Dunith Wellalage. Fans can also look forward to James Neesham, Dushmantha Chameera, Eshan Malinga, Kusal Mendis, Kamindu Mendis, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and several emerging Sri Lankan talents.

That global appeal has continued to grow, with more than 650 overseas registrations received from 21 countries ahead of this season's player-selection process. Alongside that international momentum, LPL 2026 plans to place a stronger emphasis on deepening its roots at home through expanded Sinhala-language commentary and broader regional fan-engagement initiatives.

The league is organized by Sri Lanka Cricket, with commercial rights managed by Innovative Production Group FZ, LLC ("IPG"), a subsidiary of Flash. Mr Anil Mohan Sankhdhar, Founder and CEO of IPG, said: "LPL's growth has always been built on two priorities — creating a world-class cricket product and ensuring it remains closely connected to fans across Sri Lanka and the region. This season reflects that vision. We expect the international interest we continue to receive, combined with stronger regional accessibility and fan-first experiences, to position the league for another significant step forward."

Among the marquee league-phase fixtures, the Kandy Royals and Jaffna Kings meet twice in five days, potentially setting up contests involving Shankar, Moeen, Hasaranga and Shakib, alongside heavyweight clashes such as Colombo Kaps versus Kandy Royals and Dambulla Sixers versus Jaffna Kings.

The five franchises — Colombo Kaps, Dambulla Sixers, Galle Gallants, Jaffna Kings and Kandy Royals — will compete in a double round-robin league stage, after which the top four teams advance to the playoffs in Colombo. Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will be held on August 5, followed by Qualifier 2 on August 7, with the Lanka Premier League 2026 Final scheduled for August 8 at the R. Premadasa Stadium.

ELEKTROS Inc. Strengthens Its Long-Term Vision for a Premier High-Speed EV Charging Network
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Company focus expands toward high-speed EV charging stations as global electric vehicle adoption continues to highlight the need for broader, faster and more reliable charging infrastructure

WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 29, 2026 / ELEKTROS Inc. (OTC PINK:ELEK) announced that, following correspondence regarding U.S. Patent No. 12,522,100 B1, the Company has reviewed Jaguar Land Rover's response and has elected not to pursue the matter further. Management believes this allows the Company to focus its attention on executing its strategic growth initiatives.

The Company is negotiating to secure a location for approximately 10 to 15 high-speed EV charging stations to operate under the ELEKTROS brand. In parallel, the Company is in discussions with a major U.S. EV charging infrastructure installer regarding a potential installation project, subject to completing definitive agreements.

Management believes the proposed charging-station initiative, if completed, could represent a meaningful step toward building a physical ELEKTROS presence in the EV infrastructure market. The Company intends to evaluate charging-site economics, installation requirements, operating logistics, branding opportunities and potential customer demand as it continues discussions with potential infrastructure participants.

"This is an exciting step for ELEKTROS as we focus on building our business and executing our long-term vision," said Shlomo Bleier, Chief Executive Officer of ELEKTROS Inc. "As EV adoption continues to move forward, we believe charging access, speed and reliability remain central issues for consumers, automakers and infrastructure operators. ELEKTROS is focused on exploring a practical path toward participating in that future."

Industry Background: Verified Public Reporting on EV Charging Infrastructure

Elon Musk / Reuters: Reuters reported on May 10, 2024 that Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Tesla would spend more than $500 million in 2024 to expand its fast-charging network. Musk stated: "Tesla will spend well over $500M expanding our Supercharger network to create thousands of NEW chargers this year."

Reuters: Reuters reported that the planned Supercharger expansion followed Tesla workforce reductions and still reflected a stated commitment to expand fast-charging infrastructure.

Benzinga: Benzinga reported that Tesla opened select U.S. Supercharger stations to non-Tesla EVs and quoted Tesla as stating: "Access to an extensive, convenient and reliable fast-charging network is critical for large-scale EV adoption."

The Wall Street Journal: The Wall Street Journal reported in October 2025 that U.S. fast-charging ports increased by more than 80% over two years, reaching more than 60,300 by August, citing federal data from the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation.

Additional market context: Recent public reporting has continued to identify charging availability and access to fast charging as major considerations for EV drivers and fleet operators.

Strategic Focus

ELEKTROS believes the growth of electric vehicles globally may create opportunities for companies focused on high-speed charging locations, installation execution, site branding and infrastructure support. The Company's current focus remains on negotiating potential charging locations and evaluating a possible installation project, while maintaining disciplined attention to definitive agreements, customary conditions and practical execution.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied. Negotiations and proposed projects remain subject to execution of definitive agreements and customary conditions. Statements regarding potential charging-station locations, infrastructure installation, branding, market opportunities, operating plans and future growth initiatives are forward-looking and are not guarantees of future performance.

The Study also identifies clear pathways to further value creation, including potential for a heap leach expansion, plant capacity growth and a tailings storage facility ("TSF") expansion designed to accommodate future mine plan expansion scenarios.

The DFS was led by Worley and supported by specialist consultants BMining, Envis and INSA. All dollar ($) figures are presented in US dollars unless otherwise stated. Base case metal prices used in the DFS financial analysis were: $50.00/oz silver ("Ag") and $3,650/oz gold ("Au").

After-tax NPV5% of $3.0 billion (CAD$ 4.2 billion), 41.9% IRR and 1.7-year payback at base-case metal prices.At spot prices1, after-tax NPV5% increases to $4.8 billion (CAD$6.7 billion) with an IRR of 56.5% and payback of 1.4 years.Average annual production of 20 Moz silver equivalent ("AgEq") during the first five years of full mine production, comprised of 14 Moz Ag and 89 koz Au; Average life-of-mine ("LOM") annual production of 10 Moz AgEq, comprised of 5.9 Moz Ag and 62 koz Au over a 25-year life of mine ("LOM").Low All-in Sustaining Cash Costs ("AISC")2 of $20/oz AgEq over the LOM – positioning Diablillos among the lowest-cost primary silver projects globally. Initial capital expenditures of $722 million (including $98 million contingency) with subsequent sustaining capital of $520 million funded through operating cash flow. Compelling after-tax NPV-to-Capex ratio of 4.2x, highlighting the Project's robust project economics and strong value generation potential.Increased Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 77.9 Mt grading 146 g/t Ag Eq, containing 183 Moz Ag and 1.8 Moz Au (366 Moz AgEq), estimated from an open pit optimized using metal prices of $29.50/oz Ag and $2,800/oz Au.First production targeted before year-end 2029, subject to a final investment decision ("FID") expected in Q2 2027.Multiple opportunities exist to further enhance Project value beyond the DFS, including:A Phase 2 heap leach expansion to process lower grade mineralized material that would provide incremental gold and silver production, with results from a Preliminary Economic Assessment (the "Heap Leach PEA") expected before the end of June 2026;Potential future plant throughput expansion to increase annual silver and gold production; andContinued exploration success across the broader Diablillos districtEnhanced TSF incorporates a downstream waste rock buttress design, to eliminate credible failure risk while reducing haulage costs and dust generation.Grid power connection planned in Year 3, reducing both operating costs and carbon emissions. John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver, commented, "Today's DFS results are the culmination of years of disciplined technical work and confirm that Diablillos is exactly what we believed it to be — a high-margin silver-gold project of significant scale with a clear path to construction. The figures speak for themselves: a CAD$4.2 billion after-tax NPV, 42% IRR and payback in less than two years, driven by production of more than 20 million silver-equivalent ounces annually in the first five years.

"Importantly, these DFS results represent our Phase 1 base case — not our ceiling. A heap leach addition, plant capacity growth and ongoing exploration across our land package give us multiple levers to build on these results. Our focus now is on continuing to move quickly towards a final investment decision in Q2 2027, in order to unlock significant long-term value for our shareholders."

Project Economics

Table 1 presents the DFS economics across a range of metal price scenarios. The economics of Diablillos are robust across all scenarios, with an after-tax NPV5% of CAD$6.7 billion and an IRR of 56.5% at recent spot silver and gold prices.

Production Summary

The DFS comprises a conventional open-pit mining operation with a strip ratio of 5.9 feeding a 9,000 tpd tank leach processing plant. An optimized mine plan has been developed that prioritizes higher-grade silver and gold mineralization during the early years of production, maximizing early cash flow and accelerating payback. Lower grade material is stockpiled and processed later in the mine life.

The DFS mine plan is based on an updated Mineral Reserve estimate developed from the Mineral Resource estimate reported by the Company on May 6, 2026. The Mineral Reserve estimate was based on an optimized open pit using the latest operating cost, open pit slope, metallurgical recovery assumptions and conservative metal prices of $29.50/oz silver and $2,800/oz gold.

Over the 25-year mine life, Diablillos is expected to produce an average of 10.3 Moz AgEq annually, including 20.3 Moz AgEq per year during the first five years of full production. The robust early production profile reflects both the high-grade nature of the deposit and a mine plan specifically designed to maximize early cash flow and project returns.

The feed to the process plant for the first 17 years of the current mine plan is from higher grade run-of-mine mineralisation while lower grade material is stockpiled. From year 18 onwards, the process plant treats stockpiled mineralisation although the Company recognizes that a potential heap leach operation and/or plant capacity expansion will allow for greater metal production and increased value.

The DFS is supported by extensive metallurgical test work that projects average LOM recoveries of approximately 80.3% for silver and 87.2% for gold.

Operating Costs

The operating cost estimates are based on mining contractor rates for truck and shovel mining operation during pre-stripping activities and the first two years of production, transitioning to an owner-operated fleet by the third year. Costs for the operation of the processing plant, TSF and infrastructure are based on first principles estimates for all major cost inputs and consider the cost of diesel generators for power supply until the third year of operation, at which time a connection to the lower cost national grid is anticipated.

The DFS operating cost estimates are shown on a per tonne milled basis in Table 3. The AISC averages $19.89/oz AgEq over the LOM. This positions Diablillos among the lowest-cost primary silver projects globally, underpinning strong operating margins across commodity price cycles.

The initial pre-production capital expenditures for the Project as at Final Investment Decision ("FID") are summarized in Table 4. Capital expenditures to be incurred after the start-up of operations are assigned to sustaining capital and projected to be funded by operating cash flows. Initial capital costs are estimated at $722 million and total sustaining capital costs at $520 million over the LOM. The estimate includes a contingency of $98 million representing the outcome of a quantitative risk analysis of all major cost inputs. Over 60% of equipment, supplies, construction, and service procurement packages will be sourced from local companies and will comply with all local regulations.

Compared with the prior Pre-Feasibility Study, the increase in initial capital reflects engineering advancement, expanded project scope, updated contractor pricing, inflationary impacts and enhanced contingency provisions consistent with a DFS-level study.

With the DFS complete, AbraSilver has entered the final development phase ahead of a targeted construction decision in Q2 2027. Early works activities are expected to commence in Q3 2026, including upgrades to existing site infrastructure and camp facilities, advancement of critical path engineering and key project hires.

In parallel, the Company is advancing project financing discussions, final EPCM selection and environmental permitting activities, with project financing targeted for completion by Q4 2026 and a formal FID expected in Q2 2027. Construction of the 1,600-person camp and other enabling infrastructure is expected to commence following the FID.

The Company is in the final stages of completing an incremental Heap Leach PEA, which is expected to demonstrate additional value upside beyond the base case DFS, with results to be announced before the end of June 2026. The heap leach option will continue to advance to the next phase of engineering and study concurrent with construction activities. Study work on a potential plant capacity expansion is also expected to commence following the construction decision, with the objective of maximizing the long-term value and production profile of Diablillos.

AbraSilver is also advancing its Phase VI drill program at Diablillos, comprising at least 15,000 metres, targeting the Oculto NE and JAC zones and several peripheral targets including Cerro Blanco and Cerro Viejo. Phase VI results are not reflected in the current Mineral Reserve or Resource estimates; the Company expects successful results to support future resource growth, with an updated estimate to follow program completion.

Mineral Reserve Estimate – Effective as of May 16, 2026

Table 6 shows the Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at Diablillos. The Mineral Reserves were estimated on May 16, 2026 from an open pit optimized using a silver price of $29.50/oz and a gold price of $2,800/oz.

The Mineral Reserves have an effective date of May 16, 2026.The Qualified Person for the Mineral Reserves Estimate is Mr. Miguel Fuentealba, P. Eng.The Mineral Reserves were estimated using the Canadian Code of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum (CIM), Definition of Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council.The Mineral Reserves are based on a pit design, which is aligned with the ultimate pit selected during the optimization process performed at Whittle.The reserves were estimated at a sale price of US $2,800 per ounce of Au and US $29.50 per ounce of Ag.A variable mining cost per bench and type of material was applied. An average cost of US $2.23/t for all lithologies was applied, except for cover (free dig), where a cost of US $1.81/t was applied.The processing cost for all zones is US $23.84/t.The infrastructure, general, and administrative costs amount to US $6.51/t.The average overall slope pit angles range from 30° to 49.2°, depending on the geotechnical zone domain.The average recovery is estimated at 79.9% for silver and 87.0% for gold.The formula for calculating AgEq is AgEq oz = Ag oz + Au oz x (Au Price/Ag Price) x (Au Recovery/Ag Recovery).Mineral Reserves Estimates were categorized according to CIM Standard definitions (CIM, 2014).A net value per block (NVB) was used to restrict the Mineral Reserves within the pitshell. The NVB is based on "Profit = Revenue - Costs", being positive, where, Revenue = [(Au Price (US$/oz) - Au Sales Cost (US$/oz) x (Au Grade (g/t)/31.1035))x Au Recovery (%)]+[(Ag Price (US$/oz) - Ag Sales Cost (US$/oz) x (Ag Grade (g/t)/31.1035) x Ag Recovery (%) and cost as, Cost = Mine Cost (US$/t) + Process Cost (US$/t) + Transportation Cost (US$/t) + General and Administrative Costs (US$/t) + [Royalty Cost (%) x Revenue]. The NVB method matches an equivalent cut-off grade of approximately 38 g/t AgEq.Technical Disclosure and Qualified Persons

Premier Graphene Eyes Space and Aerospace Applications
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
MEXICO CITY and EL CENTRO, Calif., June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Graphene, Inc. (OTC: BIEI) and strategic partner HGI Industrial Technologies S.A.P.I. today issued a cumulative strategic update spanning four major milestones achieved since May 2026. This progress has led to Premier’s anticipated first profitable quarter in corporate history and the articulation of a long-term strategy targeting defense, aerospace and space applications of advanced graphene materials.

Graphene — a single-atom-thick carbon lattice stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum — is among the most consequential advanced materials of this century, particularly suitable for advanced applications sought by Premier’s customer base. Its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, thermal conductivity, and radiation resistance make it uniquely suited to the demands of aerospace and space applications: satellite structural components, spacecraft thermal management systems, radiation shielding for deep-space missions, and next-generation power generation substrates. As the commercial space economy scales toward hundreds of billions in annual investment, the materials supply chain that serves it will be as strategically important as the launch vehicles themselves.

Premier Graphene’s affiliate HGI Industrial Technologies proprietary approach to producing graphene from biomass feedstocks — including industrial hemp — offers a potentially disruptive cost and sustainability advantage over conventional production methods. A domestic, bio-derived graphene supply chain aligns directly with the U.S. government’s emphasis on critical materials resilience and supply chain independence. This positions Premier as a natural candidate for engagement with defense and aerospace prime contractors as qualification pipelines for space-grade materials develop.

In May 2026, Premier Graphene affiliate HGI Industrial Technologies S.A.P.I entered Mexico’s highly selective military procurement framework through an initial contract awarded by SEDENA. The first order was delivered in full on May 8, passing preliminary inspection — demonstrating Premier’s ability to execute within demanding government procurement timelines and product specifications. Two additional military contracts followed in June, covering Mission Tactical Belts and Nylon-Cotton Ripstop Fabric, reflecting growing and expanding institutional confidence and establishing a pattern of repeat business, even within a single procurement cycle.

Last week’s announcement that Premier anticipates reporting its first profitable quarter represents the commercial validation of a business model built on near-term defense supply revenues alongside a longer-term advanced materials technology platform. Management attributes this milestone to disciplined execution, strategic joint venture operations, and the successful fulfillment of initial government contract — achievements that position Premier for expanded participation in the Mexican and North American defense supply chains pending ITAR certification.

The strategic significance of these milestones extends well beyond defense textiles and tactical equipment. As Premier builds its track record within established military procurement systems, is simultaneously positioning its advanced graphene materials platform for the rapidly expanding commercial space economy — a market where the materials supply chain will prove as strategically critical as the launch vehicles themselves.

Premier is actively pursuing opportunities across graphene-enhanced defense composites, aerospace coatings, quantum-related materials research, and critical mineral resource in South America and Mexico. Management also confirmed engagement in discussions subject to non-disclosure obligations, suggesting additional strategic developments may be forthcoming.

"Achieving our anticipated profitability is a defining moment for Premier Graphene and our shareholders," said Pedro Mendez, President. "This milestone reflects the successful execution of a business model that we have worked diligently to build. As we pursue additional opportunities, our focus remains on building a sustainable and profitable company that creates long-term growth — including in graphene's extraordinary potential for aerospace and space applications."

Cumulative Milestones:

May 5, 2026 — Initial SEDENA military contract announced; partial delivery completedMay 8, 2026 — First military order fully delivered and officially registered; passes inspectionJune 10, 2026 — Two additional SEDENA contracts awarded (Tactical Belts; Ripstop Fabric)June 18, 2026 — Premier anticipates first profitable quarter in corporate history Forward-Looking Statements (OTC Compliant)

Premier Development & Investment, Inc. Now Confirms Certain Highly Material Transactions to Close Imminently and Extends its Extreme “Cautionary” to All Parties
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
LAS VEGAS, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Development & Investment, Inc. (OTC: PDIV) (“The Company” or “Premier”) is now in a position to confirm as follows:

To view all of Premier’s Regulatory Filings: https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/PDIV/disclosure

All parties are now in full agreement of all of the terms and conditions of each and every Agreement. All parties are now in possession of all of the Agreements from the External Attorneys to Premier; as was required to complete these executed and binding Agreements.

We now have reasonable belief that these Agreements will be executed and filed in and during this week.

Please be aware that these transactions may well be filed before and/or after Market Hours; and upon weekends.

We can confirm that these relate to Premier’s interests in the Lithium and Uranium Exploration Properties; namely “Hombre”, “Stonewall Flat” and “Silverpeak”; totaling an amount of what has now been increased to $130 million.

Further material and unrelated transactions are in our opinion, reasonably expected to be filed in and during next week. All parties are reviewing those final draft Agreements. This is likely to be not less than a further $20 million in transactions.

Premier filed a Supplementary Filing on OTCIQ on June 2, 2026 detailing the Amendments to its Articles of Association to create unsecured and interest free Preferred Stock (“Preferred”) and with an “iron clad” inability to convert the Preferred and for a period of not less than two years. This being interest free and unsecured.

At this time, we are capitalizing long term liabilities in the amount of not less than $27 million*. NOTE that a portion of certain of these particular long term liabilities will be capitalized in “Class B” Preferred Convertible “Super Voting Stock”; these also being for a holding period of no less than 2 (Two) years, also being interest free and unsecured; and as detailed in earlier public filings.

Post the closing of the above-mentioned transactions, we will be capitalizing a further amount of no less than an additional $85 million*

The amount capitalized in respect of all short term liabilities will be decided and enacted upon in the last week of this month being the close of our Q2 Reporting Period. We expect to expend some $1.1 million in cash costs in Q2 pertaining to Capex, Professional Fees and extraordinary expenses*

This follows on from our cancellation of $6 million of Convertible Loan Notes and announced on May 21, 2026*.

*This is wholly dependent upon the amended Articles of Association being filed and accepted by Nevada Secretary of State (“NV SOS”) on or before Q2 Ending June 30, 2026; these transactions being capitalized resulting into highly material Balance Sheet adjustments; and could therefore fall into our Q3 Accounting Period if these above-mentioned is not completed by NV SOS on or before June 30, 2026.

Given the materiality of these pending transactions; we continue to advise our shareholders to exercise extreme caution in their dealings in our Common Stock; and until such time as all of these transactions have been filed; thereby placing our shareholders in a position to make appropriate investment and/or trading decisions.

ABOUT PREMIER:

Premier is in the business of Lithium and Uranium exploration in Nevada through “Silverpeak”, “Stonewall Flat” and “Hombre” encompassing some 3,800 acres. Premier has Rare Earth Exploration properties in New Mexico through “Gallinas Mountains”. We hold options over Oil & Gas Wells in Oklahoma. We now hold 49.99% the outstanding Common Stock of GNCC Capital, Inc. (OTC: GNCP), a Company engaged in the ownership of Gold and Silver Exploration Projects.

Premier American Uranium Expands and Further Defines Uranium Mineralization at Kaycee Project, Wyoming with Initial 2026 Drill Results
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
TORONTO, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier American Uranium Inc. (“PUR”, the “Company” or “Premier American Uranium”) (TSXV: PUR) (OTCQB: PAUIF) is pleased to announce preliminary results from the 2026 exploration drilling program at the Company’s wholly-owned Kaycee Project (“Kaycee” or the “Project”), located in the Powder River Basin (“PRB”) of northeastern Wyoming. Drilling commenced at the Outpost target in May 2026. To date, 19 drillholes have been completed for a total of 17,100 ft of drilling. A total of 100,000 ft of drilling is currently planned for the 2026 season, with specific focus on the Outpost, Rustler, and Stampede exploration areas (Figure 1).

Highlights

Infill and step-out drilling in the Outpost (Figure 2) area has expanded and further defined the zone of known uranium mineralization. Nineteen conventional mud rotary holes have been completed for a total of 17,100 ft of drilling in 2026 (Figure 1).Seven of the 19 drill holes intersected uranium mineralization at grades of 0.02% eU₃O₈ or higher (see Table 1 for significant intercepts).Drilling results to date provide valuable lithologic information to support geologic interpretation and guide future exploration plans. Drilling has identified two target sand units within the lower Wasatch Formation, both of which are host to uranium mineralization. The lower Wasatch Formation is also the principal host of uranium mineralization in the Pumpkin Buttes district, just east of the Kaycee Project area.In conjunction with the drilling program, the Company engaged a professional surveying contractor to complete a Project-wide drillhole collar and elevation survey. This survey work is complete, and the results will be used to support future mineral resource estimation initiatives and ongoing technical evaluation of the Project. Colin Healey, CEO of PUR commented, "These initial results continue to highlight the exploration potential of the Kaycee Project and reinforce our view that the district hosts multiple areas capable of generating meaningful uranium resources. The expansion of mineralization at Outpost, together with the geological insights gained from drilling, is improving our understanding of the controls on mineralization and helping refine targeting across the broader district.

We began the 2026 program at Outpost due to seasonal accessibility and the compelling results generated from its discovery during the 2025 campaign. As a newly identified uranium-bearing system that remains in the early stages of exploration, Outpost has delivered encouraging results that support further follow-up work. With only a small portion of our planned 100,000-foot drill program completed, we are pleased with the progress to date and look forward to advancing drilling at Outpost while continuing to test the significant potential of the Rustler and Stampede target areas throughout the season."

All grades were calculated from gamma-ray logs measured by Hawkins CBM Logging of Casper, Wyoming, which is independent of the Company. The geophysical results are based on equivalent uranium (eU3O8) of the gamma-ray probes which are calibrated at the Department of Energy’s test facility in Casper, Wyoming. Uranium grades cited are calculated from gamma-ray logs, and the cited grades are “equivalent” (“e”) grades of U₃O₈ %. eU₃O₈ is a measure of gamma intensity from a decay product of uranium and is not a direct measurement of uranium. No corrections were made for radiometric disequilibrium. Numerous comparisons of eU₃O₈ and chemical assays of PRB core samples indicate that eU₃O₈ is a reasonable indicator of the actual uranium assay. All drill holes are vertical in orientation and the geologic units hosting the uranium mineralization are generally very flat lying, therefore reported thicknesses represent true thicknesses.

Figure 2. Kaycee Project 2026 Drill Holes

Kaycee Project

The Kaycee Project in Wyoming's Powder River Basin consists of over 42 square miles of mineral rights over a 36-mile mineralized trend hosting more than 110 miles of identified roll fronts (Figure 3). The Project is believed to be the only project in the PRB where all three known historically productive sandstone formations (Wasatch, Fort Union, and Lance) are mineralized and potentially accessible for ISR extraction. The Project represents the largest grass-roots ISR exploration in the United States, with upwards of 400,000 ft of drilling completed since 2023.

PUR anchors one of the strongest exploration portfolios in Wyoming, combining its Cyclone Project in the Great Divide Basin with Kaycee to drive one of the largest ongoing drilling programs in the state and significantly expand its presence in both of the state’s major ISR-amenable uranium districts.

Premier Air Charter Discusses FAA Approval, Growth Strategy, and Market Trends in Follow-Up Interview
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
CARLSBAD, Calif., June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Air Charter Holdings Inc. (OTCID: PREM) (“Premier” or the “Company”), an emerging growth company in the private aviation sector, today announced that management recently participated in a follow-up interview to discuss the Company’s newly announced Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval to operate charter flights with 10 or more passengers, as well as its broader growth strategy and industry outlook.

During the interview, Premier leadership highlighted the significance of the FAA approval as a key milestone that expands the Company’s operational capabilities and competitive positioning. The authorization allows Premier to pursue larger group travel opportunities and operate higher-capacity aircraft across longer-range missions.

View the full interview here: https://youtu.be/tC8N56AJPVs

“This FAA approval is a meaningful inflection point for Premier,” said Vince Monteparte. “It allows us to move into a higher-value segment of the charter market and significantly expands the types of missions we can serve, particularly group, corporate, and long-haul travel.”

Management emphasized that the approval increases Premier’s addressable market and enhances its flexibility in deploying aircraft to capture a broader range of charter demand.

“We’re now positioned to compete for larger, more complex charter opportunities that simply weren’t available to us before,” Monteparte added. “That opens the door to higher revenue per flight and more efficient utilization of our fleet.”

The Company also addressed the operational roadmap required to fully realize the revenue potential associated with this approval. Premier has outlined plans to upgrade existing aircraft and introduce additional large-cabin jets, which the Company believes could generate meaningful incremental revenue once fully deployed.

“Execution is key,” said Monteparte. “We’re focused on bringing aircraft online efficiently, completing the necessary pilot training and certification, and ensuring we have the demand pipeline in place to fully utilize these assets.”

In discussing fleet expansion, Premier noted that its strategy reflects broader demand trends within private aviation, particularly increasing demand for group charter and long-range travel solutions.

“What we’re seeing across the market is a continued shift toward larger group travel and more global itineraries,” Monteparte said. “Our fleet evolution is directly aligned with those trends, allowing us to better serve customers who are looking for flexibility, privacy, and direct routing at scale.”

The interview also explored Premier’s long-term growth strategy, with management reaffirming its commitment to disciplined expansion rather than aggressive volume-driven growth.

“Disciplined growth means we’re very intentional about how and when we add capacity,” Monteparte explained. “We’re not chasing volume, we’re focused on aligning fleet expansion with real demand, optimizing utilization, and building a business that is scalable and sustainable over the long term.”

Monteparte further discussed the sustainability of Premier’s recent financial performance. The Company reported revenue growth of over 50% in its most recent fiscal year, driven in part by repeat customers and strong demand for premium charter services.

“Our growth has been fueled by a combination of strong demand and a loyal, repeat customer base,” Monteparte said. “As the market normalizes, we believe our focus on service quality, reliability, and customer experience will continue to differentiate Premier and support ongoing momentum.”

Additionally, Premier highlighted its investments in fleet expansion and in-house maintenance capabilities as key drivers of long-term competitive advantage.

“Investing in in-house maintenance and operational infrastructure gives us greater control over our fleet, reduces downtime, and ultimately improves the experience we deliver to customers,” Monteparte noted. “Over time, that translates into higher utilization, better margins, and a stronger competitive position.”

Atos powers kick-off of new football season as 2026-27 Premier League fixtures revealed

Press Release

Atos powers kick-off of new football season as 2026-27 Premier League fixtures revealed

London, UK – June 19, 2026 – Atos, a global leader in AI-powered digital transformation, has worked in close collaboration with the Premier League since its inception in 1992, scheduling the Premier League’s fixtures each season. 

Across 34 complete Premier League seasons, Atos has supported the complex challenge of creating a balanced fixture list across a total of 13,166 matches involving 51 different clubs. Advanced technology is combined with deep human expertise to assess millions of possible scenarios, ensuring the final schedule is fair, competitive and compelling for clubs, fans and stakeholders alike. 

The process begins at the start of the year and typically takes around six months. Sophisticated systems generate an initial schedule, which is then rigorously refined through expert oversight to meet the league’s strict sporting, operational and logistical requirements - following the League’s “Golden Rules”. These include: 

In any five matches there should be a split of three home fixtures, two away or the other way around.  A team will never have more than two home or away matches in a row. Wherever possible, a team will be home and away around FA Cup ties.  A club will never start or finish the season with two home or two away matches.  Alongside this are considerations around preventing local rivals from playing at home on the same day, accounting for policing capacity, and managing travel demands—particularly during peak periods such as public holidays or major national events, for example minimising travel for fans on Boxing Day and New Year's Day. 

Even minor changes can have wide-ranging consequences, often triggering adjustments across multiple fixtures. This is where Atos’ long-standing experience is critical.  

Fixture-list compiler Glenn Thompson, Atos UK&I, said: “There are pinch points in the process where it can become stressful, culminating in several days in a room manually checking for any issues that may have cropped up. The whole process is complex involving many different data points. Ultimately you can't satisfy everyone and it's a compromise across all clubs without favouring any one club.”  

This year’s fixture list has also been shaped against an increasingly demanding global football calendar, with a focus on player welfare, recovery time and alignment with international competitions. 

Michael Herron, Head of Atos UK&I said, “For millions of fans, the release of the Premier League fixture list is when a new season really comes to life. We’re proud to support the Premier League and are looking forward to another exciting season ahead.”  

Atos has maintained a dedicated Sports and Major Events division for more than 30 years. This experience in delivering innovative solutions for the world’s most prestigious competitions enables Atos to provide the flexibility and technological excellence required for all types of events — from local tournaments to major global showcases. Leading this commitment is its role as UEFA’s Official IT Partner for National Team Football since late 2022, as well as its long-standing relationship with many other sports international organizations. Most recently, Atos became CONMEBOL’s Official Innovation Partner, which will focus on South American football’s domestic-club competitions.

Premier Development & Investment, Inc. Files Q1 Report and Advises Upon Further Material Issues
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
LAS VEGAS, May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Development & Investment, Inc. (OTC: PDIV) (“The Company” or “Premier”) confirms that it filed its Q1 Report for the period ended March 31, 2026 on May 19, 2026.

We advised shareholders that we will be filing very material updates extremely shortly. We had expected to be in a position to include these transactions in our Q1 Report. Due to contractual delays and obtaining signatures on numerous interlinked Agreements this was not possible. These transactions as concluded will be filed on OTCIQ immediately. They will be accounted for in our Q2 Financial Report for the period ending June 30, 2026.

Given the materiality of these transactions, we continue to advise our shareholders to exercise extreme caution in their dealings in our Common Stock until such time as all of these transactions have been filed. Thereby placing our shareholders in a position to make appropriate investment and/or trading decisions.

The value of these transactions is in excess of $110 million and is therefore highly material.

We now are confident that will conclude in and during the remainder of April 2026.

This will result in our filing of a “Management Update” in which we will set out in great detail our rationale for all of these transactions and as will be detailed in these Regulatory Filings (complete with Exhibits); as well as the material implications of all of these transactions. This will include all and other items in which we referred to in our prior Press Releases.

On an unrelated matter, we have amicably parted with our Investor Relations Company dealing with our website, Social Media, Constant Contact, SEO, etc. This matter is expected to be resolved with a new appointment, we hope, by late next week. Despite our best efforts, your Management finally realized that our vision and communication with our shareholders was not aligned with that of our previous Investor Relations Company. After extensive consultation, we came to a decision to employ a cutting edge firm that recognized and embraced the use of AI and other technologies.

This decision is to enable us to have the ability to directly communicate with our shareholders immediately. At this time, we are in discussions with a short list of firms that we are confident will meet our expected shareholder communication requirements.

Your Management considers this delay and disruption to our Investor Relations to be completely unacceptable and wholly unprofessional. We sincerely apologize to our shareholders that this situation arose and was not addressed immediately. We have placed the resolution of this issue as an extremely high priority.

Columbia Banking and Pacific Premier: Integration Milestones to Watch
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Columbia Banking targets $127M in annualized Pacific Premier cost savings by June 2026.COLB completed system conversions and branch consolidations in Q1'26 to boost efficiencies.Pacific Premier added new fee platforms and generated more than 1,200 cross-sell referrals. Columbia Banking System, Inc. (COLB - Free Report) is moving through the heavy-lift phase of its Pacific Premier integration, and the next few quarters should reveal how quickly deal benefits turn into cleaner earnings. The bank reflects a balanced setup with tangible synergy progress but lingering near-term costs. 

For investors, “integration milestones” matter because they are the checkpoints that convert a strategic footprint expansion into measurable efficiency and revenue durability. In this case, the key goalposts are the bank’s cost synergy targets, completed conversion work, and the new fee capabilities added through the transaction.

COLB Integration TimelineColumbia Banking closed its acquisition of Pacific Premier on Aug. 31, 2025, a deal that completed its Western footprint and strengthened its positioning in Southern California. That footprint expansion is the strategic backdrop, but the investment debate is now centered on execution. 

Integration milestones in this story are practical and measurable. They include hitting cost-savings run rates, finishing system and branch actions that unlock operating leverage, and translating a broader product set into more recurring fee income.

Columbia Banking’s Cost Synergy Target and ProgressThe bank has targeted $127 million in annualized cost savings from the Pacific Premier transaction. By the end of 2025, it had realized $63 million of that total, giving investors a concrete marker to track the remaining runway. 

Management has also framed the timing clearly. The company expects to realize the previously disclosed cost savings by June 30, 2026, setting a defined window for when synergy benefits should show up more consistently in the expense base.

A major milestone arrived in the first quarter of 2026, when COLB completed system conversions and branch consolidations tied to the integration. With the conversion work done, subsequent quarters should provide a clearer view of how quickly run-rate efficiencies can build.

Columbia Banking’s New Fee Platforms From the DealBeyond cost actions, Pacific Premier broadened Columbia Banking’s fee toolkit. The combined company added fee platforms including Custodial Trust Services, homeowners association banking, escrow, and 1031 exchanges.  That expansion is notable because it extends the franchise beyond spread-driven banking into services that can deepen relationships and diversify revenue.

Early commercial activity points to traction. Since closing, the company has generated more than 1,200 cross-sell referrals, and de novo and campaign efforts produced meaningful deposit inflows through mid-October.  Over time, management expects the broader product set and referral activity to support higher wallet share and a gradual shift toward more durable core fee streams.

COLB Expense Run Rate and Near-Term Margin EffectsNear term, expenses remain elevated, reflecting integration and amortization costs, along with purchase accounting effects that can add noise to reported performance. That is why efficiency and returns can look pressured even when synergy milestones are being met.

Management expects operating expenses, excluding core deposit intangible amortization, to run $330-$340 million per quarter for the next several quarters. Until system synergies fully offset integration costs, expense optics are likely to stay choppy, which can influence how quickly improvements in profitability filter into bottom-line momentum.

Columbia Banking’s Bottom-Line DebateThe long-term setup rests on execution. Management expects NIM expansion through 2026, and external models point to multi-year earnings per share growth through 2026-2027 tied to synergy realization and balance sheet mix shifts. 

The counterweight is near-term noise. Integration and amortization costs, one-time purchase accounting effects, and competitive deposit pricing pressure can cloud quarterly comparisons even if underlying momentum is improving. 

COLB carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Over the past year, shares of Columbia Banking have gained 27.2% compared with the industry’s rise of 20.2%.

COLB Peer ContextAmong Columbia Banking Western peers, East West Bancorp (EWBC - Free Report) and Western Alliance (WAL - Free Report) each has a Zacks Rank #3. 

East West Bancorp is a Pasadena-based commercial bank with more than 110 locations across the U.S. and Asia, often cited for cross-border and relationship banking depth in Western markets.

Premier Development & Investment, Inc. to Amend Articles in Order to Capitalize and Eliminate Certain Long Term Liabilities and All Short Term Loans Totaling no Less Than $29 Million
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
LAS VEGAS, June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Development & Investment, Inc. (OTC: PDIV) (“The Company” or “Premier”) filed a Supplementary Filing on OTCIQ on June 2, 2026 detailing the Amendments to its Articles to create unsecured and interest free Preferred Stock (“Preferred”) and with an “iron clad” inability to convert the Preferred and for a period of not less than two years.

At this time, we are capitalizing long term liabilities in the amount of not less than $27 million.

The amount capitalized in respect of all short term liabilities will be decided and enacted upon in the last week of this month being the close of our Q2 Reporting Period. We expect to expend some $1.1 million in cash costs in Q2 pertaining to Capex, Professional Fees and extraordinary expenses.

This follows on from our cancellation of $6 million of Convertible Loan Notes and announced on May 21, 2026.

We remain in discussions with other Lenders whom may or may not elect to convert into Preferred Stock, thereby possibly increasing this aforesaid amount of Preferred being issued. There are no indications that any of these other Lenders will elect to do so.

This will be concluded in and during Q2 for the period ending June 30, 2026. This will include the $6 million of unsecured and outstanding interest free aged Convertible Loan Notes cancelled and converted into unsecured and interest free Long Term Liabilities in and during last week.

We strongly recommend that our shareholders scrutinize the transactions as set out in detail in this OTCIQ filing. This also deals with other actions including but not limited to a new Class of “Super Voting” Preferred Stock and a possible substantial restricted “Class “A” Common Stock issuance.

A Link to this Filing for a detailed synopsis and our rationale: www.otcmarkets.com/file/company/financial-report/570152/content

To view all of Premier’s Regulatory Filings: https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/PDIV/disclosure

All parties are in full agreement on all terms and are all awaiting upon the External Attorneys to both Premier and the other parties to complete the final drafts of these various Agreements; to that extent, we have been advised that all parties will be in receipt of the same on June 3, 2026. We confirm that these relate to Premier’s interests in the Lithium and Uranium Exploration Properties, namely “Hombre”, “Stonewall Flat” and “Silverpeak”.

This Premier Dividend Stock Has 1 Major Issue, But Does Its Ultra-High-Yield Dividend Make It Worth It?
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
In sports, it's much easier to ignore off-court antics when they're from your star player. The same thought process is often applied to stocks, too. It's much easier to ignore a company's red flags if its stock is producing.

That's the position that Altria (MO +0.43%) has found itself in recent years, with its business and attractive dividend. According to the CDC, U.S. adult smoking rates have declined to an all-time low, at 9.1%. As the country's largest tobacco company, Altria has been directly affected by this. It's a shrinking market.

But as one of the stock market's premier dividend stocks, is it worth ignoring the elephant in the room?

Image source: The Motley Fool.

A portfolio built for any type of consumer Despite falling volume, Altria's one saving grace has been its pricing power. Cigarette smokers tend to like what they like and will spend whatever (within reason) it costs for their preferred product. In cases where rising prices push customers toward more discount brands, Altria's portfolio helps it retain some of those customers by having options.

A good example is the first quarter, where Altria's flagship Marlboro brand lost 1.4 percentage points in retail share, while its discount brand, Basic, gained 2.4 percentage points. Ideally, you'd want your customers in your premium segment because the margins are higher, but that's a much better alternative than losing them completely.

Marlboro will continue to be Altria's foundation and its biggest brand equity, but it's nice to know you have a portfolio that can cater to both premium and budget-conscious consumers.

Today's Change

Just how attractive is Altria's dividend? I consider Altria a premier dividend stock because of its consistently high yield and longevity. Its current dividend yield is 6.1%, slightly below its 6.6% average over the past decade. For comparison, the S&P 500's current yield is barely above 1% (as of June 1).

Altria is also a Dividend King (a company with at least 50 consecutive years of dividend increases), with a 56-year streak of increases (60 total in that time). The company knows its dividend is the selling point for investors, so it prioritizes keeping it healthy and growing. It's far from a growth stock, but its dividend and recent share buybacks are as shareholder-friendly as they come.

Financially, Altria doesn't seem to be in any major trouble sustaining its dividend for now. In Q1, its free cash flow was $2.23 billion, and it paid $1.8 billion in total dividends and $280 million in share buybacks. That 81% payout ratio (excluding buybacks) is still safe, but again, there's the elephant in the room.

MO Dividend Yield data by YCharts.

What smoke-free product is coming to save the day? The story of Altria is a race against time. In other words, can it find a viable smoke-free alternative by the time the declining smoking rates become an irreversible issue? I don't think it will happen quickly, but I do think Altria's runway is a bit longer than some skeptics believe.

It's true that after Altria's failed $12.8 billion Juul experiment and Njoy fiasco, it doesn't necessarily deserve the benefit of the doubt. But there are a few positives to be optimistic about. Right now, Altria is banking on its On! nicotine pouches becoming a viable product. While they haven't been able to stand up against the popular Zyn nicotine pouches, they have been making progress nonetheless.

In Q1, the number of On! cans shipped increased 17.5% year over year to 46.2 million. They lost 0.8 percentage points in the oral tobacco market, but right now, footprint matters. They're now available in more than 100,000 stores in all 50 U.S. states. It's still an uphill battle for Altria in the segment, but the turnaround doesn't have to happen overnight. At its scale, there just needs to be progress.

With its attractive and reliable dividend, I think it's worth investors being patient until there's a clearer reason to ring the alarm and jump ship.

Cambria Gold Mines Fast Tracks Red Mountain Road Build with the Support of the Nisga'a Nation
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
  Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire -  June 4, 2026 – Global Stocks News - Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Cambria Gold Mines. On June 1, 2026, Cambria Gold Mines (TSXV: CAMB; OTCID: AOTVF) announced that it has begun rebuilding a 23-kilometer access road that will enable efficient transport of mineralized material from the Red Mountain project to Cambria’s 2,500-tonne-per-day mill at the Premier Mine.

The Premier Gold Project has paved road access, a 2,500 per day mill, grid-connected hydroelectric power, and proximity to a deep-water port. Multiple deposits include Premier, Silver Coin, Big Missouri, Dilworth, and Martha Ellen.

Red Mountain is a high-grade underground gold deposit, located approximately 15 kilometres northeast of Stewart, BC, within Nisga’a Nation Treaty Lands, in BC’s Golden Triangle.

Cambria Gold Mines began trading on February 13, 2026. Four months is a short timeline to complete the permitting and engineering work required to green-light construction of an access road that traverses indigenous territory.

Premier and Red Mountain are both located on Nisga'a Nation Treaty Lands. Rob McLeod, President and CEO of Cambria, has a multi-generational connection with the Nisga’a. In the late 1940s, Rob’s father, Ian McLeod, helped run election campaigns for the late Dr. Frank Calder, the first Indigenous person to serve public elected office for any provincial legislature in Canada.

“I have a long-standing personal and business relationship with Eva Clayton - President of the Nisga’a,” McLeod told Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN), “The Nisga’a are supportive of our goal to turn both the Premier and Red Mountain assets into producing mines. There is a level of trust between us that helps expedite permitting and decision-making.”

  Phase 1 will focus on rebuilding a 13 km long road bed [purple section above]. It was built in 1910 as a wagon trail to access placer gold mines along Bitter Creek. Later, it was extended to the base of Red Mountain at Bromley Humps by Lac Minerals in 1994.

The road will start from the paved Highway 37A just North of Stewart. It is anticipated that mineralized material will be transported for processing at Cambria’s 2,500 tonne per day mill at the Premier Mine, for a total trucking distance of approximately 50 kilometers.

Cambria’s Red Mountain Gold Deposit hosts Measured and Indicated Resources of 3.19M tonnes averaging 7.63 g/t Au and 21.02 g/t Ag, for 783,000 ounces Au and 2,156,000 ounces Ag. The Deposit hosts additional Inferred Resources of 405,000 tonnes at 5.32 g/t Au and 7.33 g/t Ag for 69,000 ounces Au and 96,000 ounces Ag.

The deposit needs minimal infill drilling, with 544,000 ounces Au in the Measured Category at an average grade of 8.81 g/t Au. [1] The deposit has over 2,000 meters of production-size underground workings and is a wide and tabular deposit, suitable for bulk underground mining methods such as longhole stoping.

For construction of the initial road sections, work will be performed by contractor West Point Rail and Timber Co. Engineering includes work by Fortec Consulting and Onsite Engineering, with environmental monitoring by Nisga’a Growth Corp.

Cambria’s Director of Construction, Nick Stoneberger, will oversee the work. Additional contractors and consultants will be added as the road advances.

“Red Mountain is a high-grade advanced-stage project that can fuel high-margin operations,” McLeod told GSN. “Because it has a wide ore body, we believe it can produce the tonnes required to meet the capacity of the 2,500 tonne per day mill at Premier. We anticipate blending high-grade Red Mountain mineralization (75%) with bulk tonnage mineralization from Premier (25%).

To achieve this goal, we need an efficient, cost-effective transportation corridor from Red Mountain to the Premier mill. That is why we are prioritising the construction of this access road.”

  “Road building involves extensive environmental work,” continued McLeod, “which we are executing in partnership with the Nisga’a Nation.

The access road runs beside Bitter Creek. It’s fed by glaciers, which bring fine-grained material called rock flour. As a fish habitat, it’s poor. There's no salmon, but you do get a few Dolly Varden trout.

On average, every fifty years, there’s a severe weather event that could cause sections of the access road to wash into the creek, negatively impacting the trout. For this reason, the Department of Fisheries & Oceans requires us to do a ‘fish offset’ – enhancing salmon habitat elsewhere. Working with the Nisga’a, we selected areas up in the Bear River Valley, where I used to fish as a kid.

In the late fall, when the salmon come up the rivers to spawn, they get slaughtered by eagles because there are no trees to provide cover. We are going to realign some creeks, put in stumps, old dead trees, archways, and narrow the channels so the vegetation can grow thicker. This will make it harder for the eagles to hunt the spawning salmon.”

“We also have a goat management plan that would restrict hunting,” McLeod told GSN. “When the wild goats are getting ready to have their babies, you don’t want to disturb them. The goats go high up into the alpine areas, where there is no chance we would stumble on them, but we limit the use of helicopters above 500 feet of elevation during the goat birthing season.”

There’s also an indigenous man who operates a trap line in the vicinity of the access road. He's an old family friend. We’ve consulted him, made sure that our mining activities do not threaten his livelihood.”

“In the Golden Triangle, eagles, goats and trap-lines have environmental, cultural and economic importance,” added McLeod, “These are things the Nisga’a know a lot about. Having them as partners is helping us to improve and expedite our development and exploration programs.”

Premier African Minerals jumps as Zulu flotation plant begins processing ore
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Premier African Minerals Ltd (AIM:PREM, OTC:PRMMF) shares surged 17% to 0.027p after the company reported a key milestone in the restart of operations at its Zulu lithium and tantalum project in Zimbabwe.

The mining group said ore from the run-of-mine stockpile is now being fed through the newly installed flotation plant, marking the latest step in efforts to bring the project back into production.

Premier said initial observations have been encouraging, with the flotation plant operating as expected following commissioning.

However, the company cautioned that it remains at an early stage in the optimisation process and it is too soon to comment on recovery rates or overall plant performance.

Managing director Graham Hill said: "Initial observations are positive and the flotation plant is operating as expected."

He added that ongoing analysis and optimisation work is continuing and further updates would be provided in due course.

The flotation circuit is a critical part of the processing plant and is intended to concentrate lithium-bearing minerals from ore mined at Zulu.

Investors welcomed the update as a sign that the long-delayed restart of the project is progressing. The company has spent recent months installing and commissioning the revised processing plant following previous operational difficulties.

Hill described the commencement of ore processing through the flotation plant as "a very positive step in the re-start of Zulu" and praised the site's operational team for completing the installation.

The company said further operational updates will follow as optimisation work progresses and performance data becomes available.

Cambria Gold Reports First Results from Premier Underground Infill Drilling: Including 19.82 g/t Au over 5.0 meters and 483.0 g/t Au over 1.0 meters at Prew Zone
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2026) - Cambria Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: CAMB) (OTCQX: CAMVF) ("Cambria" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the first results from the underground infill program at the Prew Zone and additional surface drilling results from the 602 Zone at the Premier Gold Project ("PGP"), located in northwestern British Columbia. Two underground and one surface drills are currently active on site. Results from a total of 15 underground drillholes and nine surface drillholes are reported herein, with results including:

19.82 g/t Au over 5.0 m (incl. 45.88g/t Au over 2.0 m) in hole P26U-0003 at Prew Zone14.96 g/t Au over 6.3 m (incl. 24.50 g/t Au over 3.0m) in hole P26U-0007 at Prew Zone11.38 g/t Au over 7.0 m (incl. 26.56 g/t Au over 2.9 m) in hole P26U-0008 at Prew Zone7.24 g/t Au over 9.0 m (incl. 12.93g/t Au over 3.0 m) in hole P26U-0016 at Prew Zone483.0 g/t Au over 1.0 m in hole P26U-0011 at Prew Zone9.82 g/t Au over 12.2 m (incl. 15.62 g/t Au over 4.0 m) in hole P26-2694 at 602 Zone"These results are demonstrating the continuity of gold grade and host structure at the Prew and 602 Zones, located down-dip from the famous Premier Gold Mine," said Robert McLeod, President and CEO of Cambria Gold Mines. "We will continue to infill the Premier deposit over the coming weeks before targeting the Big Missouri and Silver Coin Deposits located further north of the Premier mine and mill."

Drilling at the Premier-Northern Lights Deposit, ("PNL") Prew Zone in 2026 has been planned as closely-spaced delineation drillholes on average 12.5m centres from underground platforms to support development planning as the Company works toward a potential restart of operations. Cambria is of the opinion that the previous surface drilling at 25m average spacing was too wide to allow for accurate modelling of mineralized zones. This was likely a significant contributor to the difficulties encountered when the Premier Project was in operation, previously under Ascot Resources Ltd.'s prior management team.

Results from the ongoing 2026 infill program have been positive, with continuity of mineralization defined, especially within a primary quartz-breccia sulfide domain traceable in previous drilling and the underground workings (See Figure 3). High-grade gold mineralization was encountered in this domain at the "310 Face" by the last underground development round blasted in 2025, prior to the mine being placed on care and maintenance.

Mineralization at the Prew Zone consists of quartz-breccia with infilling sulfide mineralization, and in some cases includes visible gold. Close drill spacing is also proving effective in the modelling of post mineral faults which offset and affect the orientation of mineralized zones in the Prew Zone.

In addition to the underground drilling at Prew, results from an additional nine completed drillholes were received from the 602 Zone of the PNL deposit. These infill holes were drilled from surface due to limited underground access options. The 602 Zone mineralization consists of similar quartz-sulfide cemented breccias and veins to that seen at Prew and could be accessed in the future with additional underground development.

Cambria anticipates the underground drill program at Prew Zone to continue into early Q3 2026. Surface drilling is planned to transition to the Silver Coin and Big Missouri deposits in early July 2026 when summer access opens. The Company intends to complete a total of 27,000m of infill development drilling this year across the Premier Project deposits.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control and Sample Preparation

The Company maintains a rigorous sampling and QA/QC procedure for the 2026 drill program. Core samples are prepared at the ALS preparation lab in Terrace, BC. The samples are dried and then crushed to specifications of 70% passing 2mm. Crushed samples are riffle split to 1000g and pulverized to 85% passing 75µm.

Analytical work for all results is completed by ALS Canada Ltd. which maintains an internal quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) program and is ISO:17025 certified for the analytical methods used in this release. Pulp splits are sent directly from the Terrace preparation facility to the ALS Canada Ltd. geochemistry laboratory facility in North Vancouver for analysis. Each sample is analyzed for gold by conventional 50g fire assay with atomic absorption finish (Au-AA26) and multielement analysis by four-acid digest with an ICP finish (ME-ICP61).

Samples over 100ppm gold are re-analyzed by an overlimit 50g fire assay with a gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22). Samples over 100ppm silver are re-analyzed with an ore grade method (ME-OG62) which is a four-acid digest method followed by an ICP-AES finish (up to 1,500ppm). Samples over 1,500ppm silver trigger the overlimit silver fire assay method (Ag-GRA21) which uses a 30g aliquot and gravimetric finish. Sampling and storage activities are conducted at the Company's secure facility in Stewart, British Columbia.

The Company maintains a QAQC program that includes the submission and review of coarse blank materials to monitor contamination and certified reference materials to assess analytical accuracy. Core duplicates, crush duplicates and pulp duplicates are used to infer sampling precision and nugget effect.

Premier Graphene Inc. and Affiliate HGI Industrial Technologies Secure Two New Mexican Military Contracts, Advancing Defense Revenue Strategy
PINC Premier
FMP Stock News
Original source text
MEXICO CITY, June 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Graphene Inc. (OTC: BIEI) (“Premier” or the “Company”) today announced that its Mexican affiliate, HGI Industrial Technologies S.A.P.I. (“HGI”), has been awarded two new contracts to supply the Mexican military. The contracts cover (1) Military Tactical Belts and (2) Nylon-Cotton Ripstop Fabric — both mission-critical materials within active defense supply programs. HGI and Premier have already commenced coordination with suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics partners to ensure timely and efficient fulfillment.

These awards represent more than individual contract wins. They reflect a pattern of repeat business and growing institutional confidence in HGI’s ability to source, coordinate, and deliver across multiple supply categories. For investors, the contract awards offer several important signals:

Recurring defense revenue: The awards follow prior military supply work, indicating an established customer relationship and a repeatable, revenue-generating business model within the Mexican defense sector.Immediate execution underway: Coordination with suppliers and logistics partners has already begun, positioning the companies for on-time delivery and efficient contract performance.Scalable supply chain infrastructure: The ability to fulfill contracts spanning tactical equipment and technical fabrics demonstrates operational breadth and a platform capable of supporting additional contract categories.Diversified revenue alongside a technology pipeline: While HGI with help from Premier advances its proprietary graphene and advanced materials initiatives, the defense contracting business provides near-term, tangible revenue that complements the Company’s longer-term technology development strategy.Strategic regional positioning: With established operations and relationships in Mexico and broader Latin America, Premier and HGI are well-placed to pursue additional defense and government supply opportunities across the region.
Pedro Mendez, President of both Premier Graphene Inc. and HGI Industrial Technologies, commented:

“We are honored by the confidence placed in our team through these contract awards. These opportunities further strengthen our position within the defense supply chain and demonstrate our ability to deliver quality products, reliable logistics, and effective execution. We look forward to expanding our presence in the defense sector while continuing to pursue opportunities in advanced materials, graphene technologies, aerospace applications, rare earth materials and other strategic industries.”

The defense supply contracts sit within a broader strategic growth plan that Premier and HGI are executing across several high-value verticals. The companies are actively pursuing the following initiatives in parallel with their defense supply activities:

Proprietary graphene production: Premier and HGI are developing graphene production technologies within Mexico and the U.S derived from biomass feedstocks — a potentially lower-cost, more sustainable pathway to commercial-scale graphene supply, with applications spanning defense, aerospace, electronics, and energy.Defense and aerospace applications: The companies are identifying opportunities to apply advanced materials, including graphene-enhanced composites and coatings, within defense and aerospace programs across North America and Latin America.Quantum-related materials research: Premier and HGI are pursuing early-stage opportunities in quantum-related materials, related to industrial hemp graphene a field attracting growing government and commercial investment.Critical minerals and rare earth resources: The Companies are exploring graphene-bearing and rare earth mineral resources in Brazil and Mexico, aligned with global demand for domestically sourced critical materials and North American supply chain resilience. Together, these efforts position Premier's affiliate HGI as a multi-vertical company with near-term defense revenue, a developing advanced materials technology platform, and exposure to high-growth sectors including aerospace, quantum materials, and critical minerals. Management expects to provide additional detail on contract quantities, delivery timelines, and financial impact as information becomes available, and will continue to disclose material developments as they occur.
