Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 29, 2025) - Silver One Resources Inc. (TSXV: SVE) (OTCQX: SLVRF) (FSE: BRK1) ("Silver One" or the "Company") announce it has granted 5,150,000 stock options to its directors, officers and consultants. Each option is exercisable at $0.45 per share for a period of five years from the date of grant and subject to the vesting requirements as determined by the board of directors.

About Silver One

Silver One is focused on the exploration and development of quality silver projects. The Company owns a 100%-interest in its flagship project, the past-producing Candelaria Mine located in Nevada. Potential reprocessing of silver from the historic leach pads at Candelaria provides an opportunity for possible near-term production. Additional opportunities lie in unmined historic resources as well as in previously identified high-grade silver intercepts down-dip, which can potentially increase the substantive silver mineralization along-strike from the two past-producing open pits.

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Cherokee project located in Lincoln County, Nevada, host to multiple silver-copper-gold vein systems, traced to date for over 11 km along-strike.

Silver One also owns a 100% interest in the Silver Phoenix Project. The Silver Phoenix Project is a very high-grade native silver prospect, recently permitted for drilling, which lies within the "Arizona Silver Belt," immediately adjacent to the prolific copper producing area of Globe, Arizona.

We’ve all grown accustomed to the positivity surrounding the artificial intelligence frenzy.

Of course, beloved Nvidia has been leading the charge, and several other large-cap technology companies are also set to benefit.

But for those looking for another angle, energy stocks with nuclear and uranium exposure, such as Cameco (CCJ - Free Report) and Vistra (VST - Free Report) , should be considered, given the vast amount of energy used within data centers. Let’s take a closer look at each.

Vistra

With an innovative, customer-centric approach, Vistra operates a reliable and efficient power generation fleet that includes natural gas, nuclear, coal, solar, and battery energy storage facilities. Shares have been scorching hot in 2024, gaining nearly 45% and seeing bullish action thanks to the AI frenzy.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Cameco

With assets on three continents, Cameco is one of the world's largest uranium producers, positioning it nicely to reap the growing demand for nuclear energy. CCJ shares have similarly been red-hot in 2025 so far, gaining more than 64%.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Tim Gitzel gave a rosy outlook for the company following its latest set of quarterly results, stating, ‘“The solid second quarter and first-half financial performance across our uranium, fuel services, and Westinghouse segments demonstrates the resilience of our strategy and the constructive outlook for nuclear power, significantly improving our overall 2025 expectations.”

Bottom Line

The artificial intelligence theme is undoubtedly here to stay for some time, with many different angles to play the frenzy.

And notably, the energy consumption side of the trade has gotten heavy attention, with both stocks above – Cameco (CCJ - Free Report) and Vistra (VST - Free Report) – seeing their shares move higher in 2025.

What is this about: On July 2, 2025, Reuters published an article entitled "'Preventable' National Grid failures led to Heathrow fire, findings say." The article stated that a "fire that shut London's Heathrow airport in March, stranding thousands of people, was caused by the UK power grid's failure to maintain an electricity substation, an official report said on Wednesday, prompting the energy watchdog to open a probe." Further, the article stated that the United Kingdom's Energy minister, Ed Miliband, had "called the report "deeply concerning", after it concluded that the issue which caused the fire was identified seven years ago but went unaddressed by power grid operator National Grid[.]"

On this news, National Grid American Depositary Shares' ("ADSs") fell 5%, on July 2, 2024.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zacatecas Silver Corp. (TSXV: ZAC; OTC: ZCTSF; Frankfurt: 7TV) (“Zacatecas” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of its over-subscribed non-brokered private placement financing (the “Financing”) of 62,500,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.06 per Unit for total gross proceeds of C$3.75 million. The Financing was previously upsized from C$2.5 million to C$3.75 million in order to include a strategic order from a highly regarded global mining investment fund, underscoring confidence in the Company’s high-grade silver and gold portfolio in Mexico.

Summary

C$3.75 million private placement closed – over-subscribed and backed by a strategic order from highly regarded mining investment fund4,000-metre drill program preparation is underway to drill high-priority El Cristo and Panuco vein systems.El Cristo: testing a large, underexplored vein system geologically linked to the historic Veta Grande, which produced >200 Moz Ag historically.Panuco: follow-up drilling on strong high-grade intercepts and a 20.5 Moz AgEq resource (19 Moz Ag and 19.2 Koz Au) (3.41 million tonnes at 187 grams per tonne AgEq (173 g/t Ag and 0.18 g/t Au). See news release issued on May 30, 2023.Pipeline growth: Company actively reviewing new acquisition opportunities in Mexico to further strengthen portfolio.
Eric Vanderleeuw, CEO and Director states: “This marks a pivotal step in our aggressive growth strategy focused on unlocking the full potential of the El Cristo and Panuco vein systems—two high-priority, high-impact targets in one of Mexico’s most prolific silver districts. Today, Zacatecas Silver is revitalized and fully funded to aggressively advance drilling in what appears to be the early innings of a historic metals market.”

Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant exercisable at $0.10 per Share for a period of two years from the date of issue (the “Expiry Date”). The Company has the right to accelerate the Expiry Date if, at any time, the volume weighted average price of the Shares on the principal exchange or market on which the Shares trade is equal to or greater than $0.20 for 20 consecutive trading days (“20-Day Period”). In the event of acceleration, the Expiry Date will be accelerated to a date that is 30 days after the Company issues the acceleration notice through a news release, provided that the acceleration notice is issued within 10 business days after the end of the particular 20-Day Period.

Under the first tranche of the private placement, the Company paid finders fees of $117,417.33 and issued 1,962,955 non-transferable finders share purchase warrants exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issue. The securities issued under the first tranche are subject to restrictions on resale for a period four months from the date of issue.

The net proceeds of the Financing will be used to advance exploration activities, including drilling at the Company’s flagship Zacatecas Silver Project, as well as for community engagement initiatives, corporate purposes, and working capital.

Insiders subscribed for 1,000,000 Units for $60,000. This participation constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). However, the Company expects to be exempt from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, as his participation does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

Exploration Path Forward

A 4,000-metre drill program is currently in preparation stages with commencement anticipated in the coming months. Drilling will focus on high-priority targets at both the El Cristo and Panuco North vein systems.At El Cristo, drilling will test a large, underexplored vein system geologically linked to the prolific Veta Grande system, where historic mining produced over 200 million ounces of silver.At Panuco, drilling follows up on strong high-grade results and the updated resource estimate of 20.5 Moz AgEq resource (19 Moz Ag and 19.2 Koz Au) (3.41 million tonnes at 187 grams per tonne AgEq (173 g/t Ag and 0.18 g/t Au). See news release issued on May 30, 2023.
In addition, Zacatecas continues to actively evaluate acquisition and consolidation opportunities in Mexico to strengthen and diversify its project pipeline.

Community Engagement and Drill Readiness

Surface access and community engagement agreements are being supported by the previously announced engagement of Mesoamerican Explore S.A.S. de C.V. (“MES”) to provide environmental and social services and liaise with landowners. This work is underway and completion is expected in the coming months. Roadwork and drill pad construction are complete, and final contractor mobilization is scheduled for late Q4 2025.

Esperanza Gold Project

Regarding the company’s Esperanza Gold Project, Eric Vanderleeuw, CEO, stated:

“Esperanza is an attrative oxide heap leach deposit, low CAPEX and high-grade, with significant scalability. Federal permitting headwinds regarding open-pit permits had required us to pause PEA activities and focus on keeping the project in good standing and at minimum cost - that strategy has worked. We’ve successfully preserved the project at minimal cost, giving us optionality as the policy environment evolves. Few undeveloped assets of this quality and size remain in the sector and we are excited to move forward again.”

About Zacatecas Silver Corp.

The Company has two key projects: the Zacatecas Silver Project in Zacatecas State, Mexico, and The Esperanza Gold Project in Morelos State, Mexico.

The Zacatecas Silver Project is located in Zacatecas state, Mexico, within the highly prospective Fresnillo silver belt, which has produced over 6.2 billion ounces of silver. The Company holds 7,826 hectares (19,338 acres) of ground that is highly prospective for low-sulphidation and intermediate-sulphidation silver base metal mineralization and potentially low-sulphidation gold-dominant mineralization. The Company announced an increase in silver resource at the Panuco South and North underground Mineral Resource Estimate now consisting of 3.41 million tonnes at 187 g/t AgEq (173 g/t Ag and 0.18 g/t Au) for 20.5 million ounces AgEq (19.0 million ounces silver and 19.2 thousand ounces gold) (see news release dated May 31, 2023).

The silver property is 25 kilometres (km) southeast of MAG Silver Corp.'s Juanicipio Mine and Fresnillo PLC's Fresnillo Mine. The Property shares common boundaries with former Pan American Silver Corp., now Defiance Silver claims and El Orito, which is owned by Endeavour Silver.

Esperanza is an advanced stage, attractive low-cost, low-capital-intensity and low-technical-risk growth project located in Morelos state, Mexico. Alamos has progressed the project through advanced engineering, including metallurgical work, while also focusing on stakeholder engagement, including building community relations. The Company announced a Mineral Resource Estimate at Esperanza consisting of a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate of 30.5 million tonnes at 0.97 g/t AuEq for 956 thousand ounces AuEq and an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 8.7 million tonnes at 0.98 g/t AuEq for 277 thousand ounces AuEq (see news release dated November 16, 2022).

World's First Large-Scale Trial of Quantum-Secure Stablecoin Settlement Network

BTQ × Danal PoC live: Danal, Korea's #1 mobile carrier billing provider and operator of Paycoin (PCI), has begun a Proof-of-Concept of BTQ's Quantum-Secure Stablecoin Settlement Network (QSSN) across select payment rails, the world's first large-scale trial of quantum-secure settlement on real infrastructure.

What's being tested: QSSN adds post-quantum security, programmable issuer controls (mint/burn, velocity limits, lists), and real-time compliance hooks while preserving today's consumer and merchant UX, leveraging Danal's reach to tens of millions of users across e-commerce, gaming, digital content, and offline retail.

Why now (reg + standards): The PoC addresses "harvest-now, decrypt-later" risk and aligns with global standardization efforts (e.g., QUINSA, U.S. PQFIF), demonstrating that PQC can be deployed at national scale with carrier-grade performance and without operational disruption.

, /PRNewswire/ - BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: BTQ) (CBOE CA: BTQ) (FSE: NG3), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks that Danal Co., Ltd. ("Danal"), Korea's market leader in mobile carrier billing and operator of the Paycoin (PCI) payment service, has begun a Proof-of-Concept ("PoC") deployment of BTQ's Quantum Secure Stablecoin Settlement Network ("QSSN") across select components of its payment infrastructure.

The PoC will evaluate how QSSN can add quantum-secure settlement, programmable issuer controls, and real-time compliance features to Danal's existing rails while maintaining today's user experience for consumers and merchants.

Danal's Reach and Relevance

Market leader: Holds the leading market share in mobile carrier billing in Korea.
Massive reach: Payment infrastructure serves tens of millions of users via telecom partnerships and online merchants.

Institutional trust: Long-standing relationships with telecom operators, banks, and regulators in a stringent financial environment.

Regulation, PQC Readiness, and Standards Alignment

Regulators and market infrastructures are moving to post-quantum cryptography to mitigate "harvest-now, decrypt-later" risk, creating clear urgency for quantum secure settlement. QSSN is leading global standardization efforts for quantum-secure digital money, including initiatives advanced through QUINSA, and has been highlighted by the U.S. PQFIF for its regulator-friendly architecture. By adding cryptographically enforced issuer controls and compliance-ready integrations while preserving existing user and merchant workflows, this PoC demonstrates that PQC can be deployed at national scale with carrier-grade performance and without operational disruption.

"Danal's reach and track record make it the ideal environment to validate QSSN at real-world scale," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ. "This PoC is about delivering quantum-secure settlement and modern issuer controls without changing what users do at checkout. It is a major step toward bringing global standardization and post-quantum readiness to everyday payments."

"Our priority is to enhance trust, efficiency, and compliance across our payment network while keeping the experience simple for users and merchants," said a Danal Official. "QSSN's design fits that mandate: add security and control where it counts, keep everything else familiar."

The complaint alleges that RCI made false and misleading statements while failing to disclose crucial information to investors. More specifically it alleges that RCI engaged in tax fraud, committed bribery to cover up the scheme, and understated the legal risks it faced.

Investors learned the truth on September 16, 2025, when NYAG James announced that the office indicted RCI, CEO Eric Langan, CFO Bradley Chhay and others. James said “[a]n investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (‘OAG’) revealed that RCI executives bribed an auditor with the New York Department of Taxation and Finance (‘DTF’) to avoid paying over $8 million in sales taxes to New York State and the state from 2010 to 2024.” The 79 count indictment charges RCI, five of its executives, and three RCI-owned strip clubs in Manhattan with conspiracy, bribery, and criminal tax fraud among other crimes.

On this news, the price of RCI shares declined almost 16% on September 16, 2025.

“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether RCI may have intentionally misled investors about its compliance with relevant anti-bribery requirements, adherence to relevant accounting rules, and the sufficiency of internal controls,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Bitcoin rockets past $114K—Bitcoin price prediction now points to $120K as Uptober rally fuels breakout speculation.

The Republic of Kazakhstan through the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development has announced a strategic investment in Binance Coin (BNB). Kazakhstan’s Alem Crypto Fund, which is managed by Qazaqstan Venture Group and registered within the ecosystem of the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC), announced its first investment in BNB today.

“The fund’s choice of BNB as its first digital asset highlights the trust in the Binance ecosystem and marks a new chapter for institutional recognition of cryptocurrencies in Kazakhstan. This is an important step toward building a transparent and secure digital asset market, where government initiatives and global technologies work together for the benefit of the national economy,” Nurkhat Kushimov, General Manager of Binance Kazakhstan, noted.

Although the exact amount invested in the BNB coin was not revealed, the move by Kazakhstan has been warmly welcomed by the Binance community. Binance CEO Richard Teng noted that Kazakhstan is setting the pace for digital asset adoption.

Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) welcomed the announcement, which has been in the making for the past few years. Furthermore, CZ noted that BNB has morphed from an exchange token to a state-level asset akin to Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC). 

“The creation of the Alem Crypto Fund is a step toward advancing digital finance in Kazakhstan. Our goal is to make it a reliable instrument for major investors and a key foundation for digital state reserves,” Zhaslan Madiyev, Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, noted.

What’s the Market Impact?The implementation of the Alem Crypto Fund via BNB follows its mainstream adoption by institutional investors and retail traders. Some of the companies already invested in BNB as a form of treasury management include BNB Network Company, B Strategy, and Nano Labs, among others.

Following the announcement, the Binance price rebounded nearly 3% to trade at about $1,023 on September 29, during the mid-North American session. The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $142 billion at press time, is well-positioned to rally exponentially, fueled by rising demand from institutional investors.

Bitcoin's rally may be far from over, according to leading market watchers who suggest the cryptocurrency is following a stair-step path higher. Analysts argue that the journey to new record highs will not be explosive, but rather a measured climb punctuated by healthy corrections that reset the market before the next leg up.

YoungHoon Kim, a South Korean figure who calls himself the “world’s highest IQ record holder,” says he has converted all of his assets into bitcoin.

Kim also predicted that bitcoin will grow at least 100-fold within the next decade, eventually becoming the world’s “ultimate reserve asset.”

Kim made these bold declarations in recent posts on X, identifying himself as both a “Grand Master of Memory” and the person with the highest IQ ever recorded — a claim somewhat disputed by experts. 

“I believe that Bitcoin is the only hope for the future economy. Therefore, I have converted all my assets into Bitcoin,” Kim wrote on X.

At the time of his remarks, bitcoin was trading at about $114,000. If his forecast were realized, each coin would top $10 million by the mid-2030s.

He also shared a photo of himself meeting Matt Prusak, president of American Bitcoin, a firm tied to the Trump family.

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) September 29, 2025 Questions about the messenger Kim’s assertions rest on his reputation as an intellectual prodigy, but that status is far from universally accepted. He has claimed an IQ score of 276 — far beyond the limits of standard psychometric scales, which typically lose reliability past the 160–200 range.

Independent verification of the score is lacking. While organizations such as the GIGA Society and the United Sigma Intelligence Association (which Kim himself helped found) have touted his record, major psychologists and high-IQ communities have dismissed the figure as implausible. 

VICE and other outlets have also reported difficulty tracing credible evidence of Kim’s claimed test results.

Financial analysts are equally cautious about Kim’s Bitcoin forecast. While crypto adoption has expanded in recent years, few institutional projections call for a 100× increase in the next 10 years. Even bullish forecasts from major investment firms typically project 5× to 20× gains under favorable conditions.

Beyond finance, Kim is outspoken in his Christian faith, declaring in mid-2025 that “Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.” 

His posts, blending religion, high-IQ branding, and crypto evangelism, have generated both attention and controversy on social media.

Dogecoin is pressing on a familiar technical hinge on the weekly chart. In a setup highlighted by crypto analyst Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow), DOGE has completed a third multi-month descending trendline test in as many cycles, with price now hovering just below a quarter dollar after a brief breakout and early retest.

On the 1-week timeframe, the chart shows three distinct bear-market trendlines and subsequent expansions. The first downtrend, drawn from late-2022 swing highs through mid-2023 lower highs, was broken in September 2023. From that breakout point, DOGE advanced roughly 230%, marking the cycle’s initial expansion phase.

The second sequence repeated across late-2023 into 2024: an April–June 2024 distribution created a fresh descending line that capped price through October 2024, when a weekly close through the line triggered the next impulse. From that October 2024 breakout, the advance extended about 350% into the late-2024 peak.

Price action since the November–December 2024 high near $0.48 carved the third descending trendline. Over the past several candles, DOGE pushed through that line, then slipped back toward it, producing a classic “return move” on reduced momentum. As of the chart’s timestamp (Sep. 29, 2025, 00:04 UTC), DOGE trades around $0.2369 on the weekly, a level that sits in the middle of this retest zone.

Golden Cross Or One More Dip For Dogecoin?
Crypto analyst Cas Abbé (@cas_abbe) is closely monitoring the daily chart, where a golden cross between the 100-day SMA ($0.2192) and the 200-day EMA ($0.2199) is forming. Historically, such crossovers have signaled the beginning of extended bullish phases.

Abbé stressed the broader market impact of a Dogecoin rally, noting: “DOGE golden cross is approaching soon. This is one of the alts I’m paying very close attention to. The reason is very simple: When DOGE pumps, Altseason starts.” His key threshold is $0.33, a resistance level that has capped multiple rallies. A clean break above it could accelerate capital rotation into the broader altcoin market. “If DOGE manages to pump above $0.33, alts will go bonkers,” he noted.

Meanwhile, liquidity dynamics add nuance to the technical picture. Cryptoinsightuk (@Cryptoinsightuk) shared a liquidity heatmap indicating dense bids around $0.18, while supply concentrations above $0.30 form notable resistance zones. He explained his tactical approach: “Because of this I’ve closed my DOGE long slightly in the green and I’ve placed bids around $0.18.” This reflects a market structure where traders are positioning for downside liquidity sweeps before potential continuation higher.

Currently trading near $0.229, DOGE sits at the intersection of conflicting signals. On one side, the historical pattern of breakouts from descending trendlines, the imminent golden cross, and Abbé’s $0.33 breakout level argue for bullish continuation. On the other, liquidity maps suggest vulnerability to deeper retracements toward $0.20–0.18 before any sustained rally.
