SANTA MONICA, CA, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Turning Point Brands (NYSE: TPB), a leader in next-generation nicotine products, today announced the launch of FRE Watermelon, the latest addition to its rapidly growing FRE nicotine pouch portfolio. With this release, FRE becomes the first and only white pouch brand to offer pure across a full assortment of strengths, ranging from 3 to 15 milligrams — a strategic move to capture a rapidly growing, yet underserved, segment of the fruit-flavored pouch market. 
“We saw a huge disconnect in the market,” said Alex Foster, Senior Brand Manager at Turning Point Brands. “Adult consumers were craving bold, authentic fruit flavors but were forced to settle for limited strength varieties. FRE Watermelon closes that gap. We're delivering the powerful flavor experience people want, without asking them to compromise on the strength they prefer. It’s a true category-first that puts the consumer experience at the forefront.” 
FRE Watermelon is available in 3mg, 6mg, 9mg, 12mg, and 15mg strengths, appealing to a broad segment of adult nicotine users. Results from a national segmentation study of adult nicotine users showed Watermelon outperformed competing flavors on visual appeal, purchase intent, and overall preference, with particularly strong interest from female pouch users who value FRE’s pouch size, softer mouthfeel, and strength options. 
Historically, Mint and Wintergreen have dominated the modern oral category, accounting for more than 60% of U.S. sales. But consumer tastes are shifting, and the rollout of FRE Watermelon positions the growing brand at the forefront of that change. With its broad spectrum of nicotine strengths, FRE is establishing a premium product portfolio that addresses where the consumer is headed — giving retailers a rare first-mover advantage in a fast-growing segment. 
FRE continues to stand apart through its pre-moistened pouches, ensuring flavor across all five strengths. Packaging upgrades, including soft-touch cans and enlarged flavor bars, enhance shelf appeal while simplifying inventory for retailers and maximizing revenue per facing. 
Availability: FRE Watermelon launches October 1 at frepouch.com ($5.29 single tins, $24.99 rolls, $24.99 100-count Mega Packs). Retail distribution begins in Q4. To support the rollout, FRE will deploy a nationwide suite of point-of-sale materials, supported by a 360-marketing campaign. 
Product samples and interviews with brand leadership are available upon request. 
About FRE 
Designed by nicotine users for nicotine users, FRE was born out of a desire to push boundaries, confidently challenge old thinking, and provide adult nicotine users with a superior alternative to the dry, stale, and bland pouches you often find on the market. The result is a bold take on the white pouch experience. FRE is made and distributed by Turning Point Brands (NYSE: TPB), a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded consumer products.

Presentation

Ken Nagayama

Good afternoon, London. And because we're streaming this event also through the web, we're also wishing a good morning to all our participants from the U.S. Welcome to the Aurubis Capital Market Day 2025. Thank you very much for coming. I hope you all had safe travels here. And I hope you're also as excited as I am about today's presentations. My name is Ken Nagayama. And since the beginning of the year, I'm heading the Investor Relations department at Aurubis, after having had several other positions in the company for the last 17 years.

Actually, I started out my career in IR at Aurubis in 2008, and I see some familiar faces here in the audience which is great to see that you're sticking around with this great company and the industry. So in that capacity, I'm delighted to be your host today, and I'll guide you through the next couple of hours and moderate the sessions throughout the day.

But before we dive into the agenda, some organizational remarks, safety first. In case of an emergency, we'll follow the illuminated green signs at the seating through that door and

Short interest is a powerful market force that can not only cap gains but drive share prices lower, but not always. Sometimes, even the short sellers get things wrong. Companies that look troubled really aren’t, and they set the underlying stock up for robust rallies.

The higher a stock’s price gets above the point of short sale, the more a short seller loses and the greater the impetus to close the position. If the short interest is sufficiently high, as it is with the technology stocks on this list, the scramble to buy shares and close positions can result in a supply deficiency that causes share prices to rocket higher.

As of 04:00 PM Eastern

52-Week Range$4.56▼

$24.98Price Target$14.36

The price action in SoundHound AI's NASDAQ: SOUN stock suggests that short-covering is already underway. The price action is up by 200% from the 2025 lows and 50% from the start of Q3, having broken through several critical resistance targets. It is likely to head higher due to factors including its robust deal pipeline, revenue growth, profitability, and positive analyst sentiment trends. They include increasing coverage, upgrades, a Moderate Buy rating, and price target increases.

The consensus lags behind the stock price as of early October, but the trend is pointing to the high-end range, which is likely to increase following the Q3 earnings report. The short interest in late September was over 30%, down from the recent peak but sufficiently high to produce a short squeeze and/or sustain a short-covering rally.

As of 04:00 PM Eastern

52-Week Range$31.36▼

$103.42Price Target$71.83

Tempus AI NASDAQ: TEM, whose short interest topped 27% in September, may see its uptrend accelerate due to short-covering as its price has crossed a critical resistance point. That point aligns with historical highs and sets the market up for a significant upswing, which could leave the market in the $130 to $140 range.

The trigger for this move could come with the Q3 earnings report, which is expected to include another 80% increase in revenue and favorable guidance updates. As it stands, the company’s growth is forecasted to slow, but it is likely to be cautious. The company is transitioning from a purely services business to an AI infrastructure provider for healthcare, an as-yet untapped AI sub-industry.

52-Week Range$0.51▼

$10.87Price Target$1.26

OpenDoor Technologies' NASDAQ: OPEN short interest approached 27% in late September as short-sellers sold into the rally to cap gains. However, market support for this stock is rising, as evidenced by Jane Street’s recent purchases. Its stake is nearly 6% of the shares, and other institutions are also buying.

The institutional activity was bullish in Q2 and Q3, lifting institutional interest to over 62% even while analysts' sentiment soured. The catalyst for the short squeeze could be Q3 reporting strength; the analysts have set the bar low, with 83% having lowered their estimates during the quarter, and the consensus forecasts a significant contraction despite recent strength in housing data. Existing home sales increased in September as mortgage rates fell.

52-Week Range$17.50▼

$91.41Price Target$45.27

AST Space Mobile’s NASDAQ: ASTS 20% short interest is deserved due to its pre-revenue condition and execution risks. However, company updates reveal that its network of satellites is rapidly growing, and the outlook for coverage is solid, suggesting the fears were misplaced. The critical detail is that coverage is increasing with each launch, putting it on track to begin honoring contracts, billing, and recognizing revenue, which will be robust.

The company has contracts with the most major mobile carriers, in addition to the US government, which assures its position within the telecom industry. The consensus forecasts ASTS revenue to grow by over 2,500% in Q3, sustain a quadruple-digit pace for four quarters, then slow to a double-digit but still hyper pace for the following few years.

Marketable commercial grade pollucite concentrate successfully produced from the Vega Caesium Zone at the CV13 Pegmatite via bench-scale X-Ray Transmission (XRT) ore sorting testwork:

11.9% Cs2O at 88% global recovery, which reflects the weighted-average of two combined size fractions that individually graded:

20.0% Cs2O (12.5 to 25 mm fraction); and
11.5% Cs2O (+25 mm fraction).
Pollucite concentrate grading >8-10% Cs2O is typically considered a highly marketable and favorable feed for downstream chemical conversion.

XRT ore sorting is a conventional, well-understood, dry, mechanical, and commercial process applied to relatively coarsely crushed material across the mining industry globally, and is the preferred method for pollucite recovery: 

As no water or chemical reagents are required, no tailings are produced – only coarse, dry, reject material.

Reject material from the XRT ore sorter at CV13 also contains significant lithium (spodumene) and tantalum (tantalite), which may subsequently be recovered using standard processing methods.
The Rigel and Vega Zones at Shaakichiuwaanaan's CV13 Deposit combined rank as the largest known pollucite-hosted caesium pegmatite Mineral Resource1 in the world, comprising:

Indicated:693,000 t at 4.40% Cs2O, 2.12% Li2O, and 283 ppm Ta2O5.
Inferred: 1,698,000 t at 2.40% Cs2O, 1.81% Li2O, and 245 ppm Ta2O5.  

The Company has commenced evaluating options to advance and incorporate the caesium opportunity at Shaakichiuwaanaan as a potential future by/co-product value stream.

_____________________________________
1 Cut-off grade is variable depending on the mining method and pegmatite (0.40% Li2O open-pit, 0.60% Li2O underground CV5, and 0.70% Li2O underground CV13). A grade constraint of 0.50% Cs2O was used to model the Rigel and Vega caesium zones. The Effective Date of the MRE (announced July 20, 2025) is June 20, 2025 (through drill hole CV24-787). Mineral Resources are not Mineral or Ore Reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Darren L. Smith, Executive Vice President Exploration, comments: "These initial testwork results confirm that Shaakichiuwaanaan's CV13 Deposit has the potential to deliver highly marketable commercial grade pollucite concentrates using a relatively simple and cost-effective recovery method – XRT ore sorting. This is an encouraging outcome for this stage of testwork, with strong recoveries and upgrading. Importantly, the reject material from the XRT circuit remains well sized for subsequent spodumene recovery via conventional DMS and tantalite recovery using gravity and magnetic methods, creating a clear pathway to potentially unlocking multiple value streams from the Project."

"A follow-up testwork program is being planned which will focus on optimization of the XRT circuit for pollucite recovery as well as subsequent recovery of spodumene and tantalite. The Company is actively exploring approaches and opportunities to unlocking this globally leading caesium opportunity at Shaakichiuwaanaan," added Mr. Smith.  

PMET Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "PMET") (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to announce that it has successfully produced marketable commercial grade pollucite concentrates from an initial bench-scale testwork program undertaken on representative material from the Vega Caesium Zone at the CV13 Pegmatite. The CV13 Pegmatite is situated ~2.5 km along strike of the CV5 Pegmatite and forms part of the Company's 100%-owned Shaakichiuwaanaan Project (the "Property" or "Project"), located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. 

The Shaakichiuwaanaan Mineral Resource2, comprised of the CV5 and CV13 Li-Cs-Ta ("LCT") pegmatites, is situated approximately 13 km south of the regional and all‑weather Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure corridor, and is accessible year-round by all-season road.

Further to news releases dated April 9,  June 10, and July 20, 2025 – which outlined the pollucite discovery (Figure 4) and subsequent Mineral Resource at the Rigel and Vega Caesium Zones – the Company has recently completed a preliminary XRT ore sorting test program on an approximate ~250 kg drill core composite sample (1/2 core NQ) from the Vega Zone (Table 1 and Table 2).

An XRT ore sorter classifies material by analyzing the sample's atomic density, prompting a blast of compressed air to separate the high-density pieces of rock (e.g., pollucite) to the concentrate fraction while the remaining lower-density pieces pass through to the reject fraction (Figure 2). XRT ore sorting is a commonly used method for producing pollucite concentrates from pegmatite. It is a simple, well-understood, dry, mechanical, and commercial process that requires only a coarse crush of the feed material as preparation and therefore, no high-cost grinding, water, or chemicals are required. Further, as no water or chemicals are used, no tailings are produced – only coarse, dry reject material that, in the case of CV13, is also amenable to further spodumene and tantalite recovery downstream.

__________________________
2 Shaakichiuwaanaan's Consolidated MRE (CV5 + CV13 pegmatites), which includes the Rigel and Vega caesium zones, totals 108.0 Mt at 1.40% Li2O, 0.11% Cs2O, 166 ppm Ta2O5, and 66 ppm Ga, Indicated, and 33.4 Mt at 1.33% Li2O, 0.21% Cs2O, 155 ppm Ta2O5, and 65 ppm Ga, Inferred, and is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.40% Li2O (open-pit), 0.60% Li2O (underground CV5), and 0.70% Li2O (underground CV13), with an Effective Date of June 20, 2025 (through drill hole CV24-787). Mineral Resources are not Mineral or Ore Reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability.

For the test program, the composite core sample – with an ~2.5% Cs2O representative head grade – was crushed and separated into three size fractions (<12.5 mm, 12.5 to 25 mm, and >25 mm). The two larger fractions were processed independently through the ore sorter, producing two pollucite concentrates and corresponding reject fractions (Figure 1 and Figure 3). Both of these fractions successfully produced marketable >10% Cs2O pollucite concentrates grading 20.0% Cs2O (12.5 to 25 mm fraction) and 11.5% Cs2O (+25 mm fraction) and, when combined, result in a highly marketable commercial grade pollucite concentrate (11.9% Cs2O) at high overall recovery (88%).

Additionally, the reject fractions contain significant lithium (spodumene) and, as it remains appropriately sized, may be subsequently recovered using standard dense media separation ("DMS"). Significant tantalum (tantalite) is also present in the rejects and may typically be recovered using simple gravity and magnetic methods.

The pollucite recovery testwork programs are being carried out at TOMRA Mining's Test Center in Wedel, Germany (XRT ore sorting) and at SGS Canada's Lakefield, ON, Canada, facility (material preparation, assay, and spodumene-tantalite recovery). The programs are a collaborative effort involving TOMRA Mining, SGS Canada, Primero Group Americas and associated Qualified Person(s), as well as an independent expert in pollucite processing.

The Rigel and Vega Zones at Shaakichiuwaanaan's CV13 Deposit combined rank as the largest known pollucite-hosted caesium pegmatite Mineral Resource3 in the world, comprising:

Indicated:693,000 t at 4.40% Cs2O, 2.12% Li2O, and 283 ppm Ta2O5.
Inferred: 1,698,000 t at 2.40% Cs2O, 1.81% Li2O, and 245 ppm Ta2O5.  
Such deposits of pollucite are very rare and typically range in scale from <10 kt to 350 kt, highlighting the magnitude and potential of the caesium discovery at Shaakichiuwaanaan. XRT ore sorting is considered an optimal recovery method for pollucite from pegmatite, requiring only a coarse crush, with the reject material remaining coarse enough for subsequent DMS recovery of spodumene. This is commercially appealing as the pollucite XRT ore sorting recovery circuit may be placed as a bolt-on ahead of the spodumene DMS recovery circuit, without complicating the overall flowsheet.

_____________________________________
3 Cut-off grade is variable depending on the mining method and pegmatite (0.40% Li2O open-pit, 0.60% Li2O underground CV5, and 0.70% Li2O underground CV13). A grade constraint of 0.50% Cs2O was used to model the Rigel and Vega caesium zones. The Effective Date of the MRE (announced July 20, 2025) is June 20, 2025 (through drill hole CV24-787). Mineral Resources are not Mineral or Ore Reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Next Steps

For next phase of testwork, the Company will collect a larger diameter drill core composite sample to explore coarser and finer size fractions using the ore sorter to further optimize the proposed processing pathway and build on these highly encouraging initial results. As part of this work, the software program used to direct the ore sorter will be refined to take into account the specific nature of the Shaakichiuwaanaan CV13 pollucite pegmatite material, with the intent to further improve separation efficiency. Additionally, a program is currently underway to recover the spodumene and tantalite present in the ore sorter reject fractions using simple gravity (DMS, tables) and magnetic methods. 

The Company has also commenced evaluating options to advance and incorporate the caesium opportunity at Rigel and Vega as a potential future by/co-product value stream for the overall Shaakichiuwaanaan Project. As part of this initiative, the Company has begun engaging with several potential end-users and supply chain participants to further develop the economic opportunity in the caesium product(s) anticipated to be derived from the Project.

The lithium-only Feasibility Study based on the CV5 Mineral Resource component of the overall Shaakichiuwaanaan MRE is scheduled for completion in the coming weeks and remains the near-term focus for the Company. The economic potential in critical metal co/by-products will be assessed separately from the lithium-only Feasibility Study, with various earlier stage studies concurrently underway to better evaluate the opportunities present for the future inclusion of caesium, and tantalum specifically.

About Caesium

Mineral deposits of pollucite-hosted caesium are very rare globally and represent the most fractionated component of LCT pegmatite systems, which are effectively the only known primary economic source of caesium globally. Economic deposits of caesium pegmatite are typically on a smaller scale of <10 kt to 350 kt in size compared to deposits of lithium pegmatite that typically range in the millions of tonnes in size (<10 Mt and rarely over 100 Mt).

Globally, it is estimated only three (3) primary caesium mines have historically operated and all were pollucite hosted – Tanco (Canada), Bikita (Zimbabwe), and Sinclair (Australia). At Bikita and Sinclair, the in-situ pollucite resources are reported to have been exhausted in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Tanco is understood to be approaching the end of its mine-life with extraction from existing tailings piles and/or mine remnants being explored.

The market for caesium compounds and metals is largely opaque because it is not publicly traded like copper or gold, but rather through bi-lateral and term contracts. Further, product prices vary depending on their contained caesium form, purity and end-product use. Caesium carbonate (Cs2CO3≥99%) currently trades at approximately US$155/kg (excluding VAT, Price Sourcing – Shanghai Metal Markets). 

Caesium is currently supply constrained, with only limited sources supplying the global market. A discovery of this size, grade, and scale has the potential to be a primary source of supply for global markets. This includes existing applications for caesium in oil/gas drilling, medical imaging and now new and potentially growing applications in the terrestrial solar panel industry. Caesium has been found to play a vital role in significantly improving next generation solar panel efficiency, stability, and life span through the application of perovskite crystal structures.

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Sampling techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialized industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralization that are Material to the Public Report.
In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverized to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralization types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Section 2 – Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Mineral tenement and land tenure status

Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The Shaakichiuwaanaan Property (formerly called "Corvette") is comprised of 463 CDC claims located in the James Bay Region of Quebec, with Lithium Innova Inc. (wholly owned subsidiary of PMET Resources Inc.) being the registered title holder for all of the claims. The northern border of the Property's primary claim block is located within approximately 6 km to the south of the Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure corridor. The CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite is accessible year-round by all-season road is situated approximately 13.5 km south of the regional and all‑weather Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure. The CV13 and CV9 spodumene pegmatites are located approximately 3 km west-southwest and 14 km west of CV5, respectively.
The Company holds 100% interest in the Property subject to various royalty obligations depending on original acquisition agreements. DG Resources Management holds a 2% NSR (no buyback) on 76 claims, D.B.A. Canadian Mining House holds a 2% NSR on 50 claims (half buyback for $2M), OR Royalties holds a sliding scale NSR of 1.5-3.5% on precious metals, and 2% on all other products, over 111 claims, and Azimut Exploration holds 2% NSR on 39 claims.
The Property does not overlap any atypically sensitive environmental areas or parks, or historical sites to the knowledge of the Company. There are no known hinderances to operating at the Property, apart from the goose harvesting season (typically mid-April to mid-May) where the communities request helicopter flying not be completed, and potentially wildfires depending on the season, scale, and location.
Claim expiry dates range from January 2026 to November 2027. 

Exploration done by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

No previous exploration targeting caesium mineralization has been conducted by other parties at the Project.
For a summary of previous exploration undertaken by other parties at the Project, please refer to the most recent technical report titled "NI 43‑101 Technical Report, Mineral Resource Estimate for the Shaakichiuwaanaan Project, James Bay Region, Quebec, Canada" by Todd McCracken, P.Geo., of BBA Inc., and Ryan Cunningham, M.Eng., P.Eng., of Primero Group Americas Inc., Effective Date of June 20, 2025, and Issue Date of August 28, 2025.

Geology

Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralization.

The Property overlies a large portion of the Lac Guyer Greenstone Belt, considered part of the larger La Grande River Greenstone Belt and is dominated by volcanic rocks metamorphosed to amphibolite facies. The claim block is dominantly host to rocks of the Guyer Group (amphibolite, iron formation, intermediate to mafic volcanics, peridotite, pyroxenite, komatiite, as well as felsic volcanics). The amphibolite rocks that trend east-west (generally steeply south dipping) through this region are bordered to the north by the Magin Formation (conglomerate and wacke) and to the south by an assemblage of tonalite, granodiorite, and diorite, in addition to metasediments of the Marbot Group (conglomerate, wacke). Several regional-scale Proterozoic gabbroic dykes also cut through portions of the Property (Lac Spirt Dykes, Senneterre Dykes).
The geological setting is prospective for gold, silver, base metals, platinum group elements, and lithium over several different deposit styles including orogenic gold (Au), volcanogenic massive sulfide (Cu, Au, Ag), komatiite-ultramafic (Au, Ag, PGE, Ni, Cu, Co), and pegmatite (Li, Cs, Ta).
Exploration of the Property has outlined three primary mineral exploration trends crossing dominantly east-west over large portions of the Property – Golden Trend (gold), Maven Trend (copper, gold, silver), and CV Trend (lithium, caesium, tantalum). The CV5 and CV13 spodumene pegmatites are situated within the CV Trend.
Lithium-caesium-tantalum ("LCT") mineralization at the Property, including at CV5, CV13, and CV9, is observed to occur within quartz-feldspar pegmatite, which may be exposed at surface as high relief 'whale-back' landforms. The pegmatite is often very coarse-grained and off-white in appearance, with darker sections commonly composed of mica and smoky quartz, and occasional tourmaline.
The pegmatites at Shaakichiuwaanaan are categorized as LCT Pegmatites. Core assays and ongoing mineralogical studies, coupled with field mineral identification and assays confirm spodumene as the dominant lithium-bearing mineral on the Property, with no significant petalite, lepidolite, lithium-phosphate minerals, or apatite present. The spodumene crystal size of the pegmatites is typically decimetre scale, and therefore, very large. The pegmatites also carry significant tantalum (tantalite) and caesium (pollucite). 

Drill hole Information

A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
dip and azimuth of the hole
down hole length and interception depth
hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

N/A. No drill results reported.

Data aggregation methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

N/A. No drill results reported.

Relationship between mineralization widths and intercept lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralization with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known').

N/A. No drill results reported.

Diagrams

Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Please refer to the figures included herein as well as those posted on the Company's website.

Balanced reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

Reporting is balanced.  

Other substantive exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

The Company is currently completing site environmental work over the CV5 and CV13 pegmatite area. No endangered flora or fauna have been documented over the Property to date, and several sites have been identified as potentially suitable for mine infrastructure. 
The Company has completed a bathymetric survey over the shallow glacial lake which overlies a portion of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite. The lake depth ranges from <2 m to approximately 18 m, although the majority of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, as delineated to date, is overlain by typically <2 to 10 m of water.
The Company has completed significant metallurgical testing comprised of HLS and magnetic testing, which has produced 6+% Li2O spodumene concentrates at >70% recovery on both CV5 and CV13 pegmatite material. A DMS test on CV5 Pegmatite material returned a Subsequent and more expansive DMS pilot programs completed, including with non-pegmatite dilution, produced results in line with prior testwork, confirming a DMS-only flowsheet is applicable. The Company has also produced a marketable lithium hydroxide concentrate from CV5's spodumene concentrate. 
The Company has produced marketable tantalite concentrates at bench-scale from the CV5 Pegmatite's DMS (spodumene) tailings fractions. The testwork used gravity or gravity + flotation methods to produce tantalite concentrates grading 8.7% Ta2O5 at 45% global recovery (MC001) and 6.6% Ta2O5 at 49% global recovery (MC002).
The Company has produced marketable pollucite concentrates at bench-scale from the CV13 Pegmatite's Vega Caesium Zone. The testwork used XRT ore sorting to produce concentrates of 11.5% Cs2O and 20.0% Cs2O at an overall 88% recovery.
Various mandates required for advancing the Project towards economic studies have been initiated, including but not limited to, environmental baseline, metallurgy, geomechanics, hydrogeology, hydrology, stakeholder engagement, geochemical characterization, as well as transportation and logistical studies.

Further work

The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.

The Company intends to continue drilling the pegmatites of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, primarily targetting lithium, caesium, and tantalum as the primary commodities of interest.
Metallurgical test programs evaluating the recovery of lithium, caesium, and tantalum are ongoing.

The Trump trade has taken on a literal connotation, with the White House recently investing in several mining and technology companies that have publicly traded stocks. 

Historically, the U.S. government has avoided direct ownership of public companies to maintain free-market principles and prevent favoritism. Instead, it usually supports broader industries through grants and subsidies, tax incentives, or regulatory support.

Under President Trump, the White House has broken this precedent, but has focused on critical minerals and national security. This fits under the rare exception where direct equity stakes in public companies are acceptable and are usually tied to a crisis or the nation’s strategic needs.

If you're wondering, the only other major example of direct government investment in public companies was during the 2008 financial crisis, when the U.S. took stakes in banks and automakers to prevent a collapse.

Needless to say, the stocks that are receiving this sort of preferential treatment now are soaring, either hitting or getting closer to their 52-week highs.  

Technology & SecurityIntel – (INTC - Free Report) : The most notable stock on the list, Intel has made headlines in recent months as the U.S. government became its largest shareholder, taking a 10% stake in the iconic semiconductor company to support domestic chip production.

This aligns with national security goals as it relates to technology protocols and defending these interests away from tech competitive frenemies such as China. Notably, the government converted funds Intel received through the CHIPS Act grants into equity, with Intel receiving roughly $11 billion in grants for commercial and military chip production.

Intel’s downturn and recent struggles have been well documented, so the helping hand from the government fits the crisis criteria as well. Optimistically, INTC shares have hit a new 52-week peak of $38, soaring +60% in the last three months. Fueling the rally, Intel has also received a $2 billion investment from Softbank (SFTBY - Free Report)  along with $5 billion from Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report)  as part of a deal to co-develop data centers and PC chips.

Mining & Critical MetalsLithium Americas – (LAC - Free Report) : The government has taken a 5% stake in Lithium Americas and its Thacker Pass lithium project in Nevada, alongside a $435 million loan.

The Thacker Project is a joint venture with General Motors (GM - Free Report)  and is expected to become one of the largest sources of lithium in North America, with the element being essential for electric vehicle production and other technologies. LAC has soared more than +200% in the last three months, recently hitting an all-time high of $9 a share.

Lithium Americas is based in Vancouver, although President Trump has made surprising (and unrealistic) comments about Canada becoming the 51st state.

MP Materials – (MP - Free Report) : Headquartered in Nevada, MP Materials produces rare earth minerals, and the investment here is actually at the discretion of the Pentagon. Aiming to counter China’s dominance in rare earth mineral extraction, the Pentagon has invested $400 million in MP Materials, becoming its largest shareholder with a 15% equity stake.

Using a provision from the Defense Production Act to bypass standard procurement laws, the Pentagon’s broader strategy is to secure domestic supply chains for rare earth elements that are used in Defense Systems, including production of the more stealthy and technologically advanced F-35 fighter jets.

In the last 90 days, MP has surged +130%, and is moving closer to its 52-week high of $82 a share.

Trilogy Metals (TMQ - Free Report) :  Another Canadian mining company, the White House has acquired a 10% stake in Trilogy Metals to support the development of Alaska’s Ambler mining district, which is rich in copper, cobalt, and geranium.

With its projects primarily located in the Ambler mining district, Trilogy Metals' stock has skyrocketed over +300% in the last three months, with TMQ trading near a one-year high of $7 a share.

Bottom Line These "White House" stocks all land a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at the moment, suggesting the potential improvement to their outlook could be favorable. Thanks to high investor sentiment, it wouldn’t be surprising if these stocks continued to rise, but there could be better buying opportunities ahead, considering their sharp rallies.

On May 1, 2025, Cytokinetics announced that the FDA had extended the Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date for aficamten's NDA from September 26, 2025 to December 26, 2025 in order to review a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy ("REMS") submitted at the FDA's request after the initial NDA filing, thereby disclosing that the Company had not included a REMS in the original NDA.

On this news, Cytokinetics' stock price fell $5.57 per share, or 12.98%, to close at $37.35 per share on May 2, 2025.

Then, on May 6, 2025, Chief Executive Officer Robert I. Blum acknowledged that Cytokinetics had multiple pre-NDA meetings with the FDA to discuss safety monitoring and risk mitigation but chose to submit the NDA without a REMS, relying on labeling and voluntary education materials.

On this news, Cytokinetics' stock price fell $2.70 per share, or 7.36%, to close at $33.97 per share on May 6, 2025.
