Disseminated on behalf of PowerBank Corporation

PowerBank (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2), a premier developer and owner of renewable and clean energy projects, specializing in distributed and community solar initiatives throughout Canada and the U.S., announced that its 5.7 MW North Main St solar project in upstate New York has cleared a major technical milestone with the completion of its Coordinated Electric System Interconnection Review (“CESIR”) (https://ibn.fm/MqTpK).

This review ensures that the planned project can connect safely to the local electric grid without adverse impacts, a prerequisite for moving forward with development. With the study finalized, the project will now advance into the permitting stage.

Once approved and financed, the North Main St project will be built as a community solar facility. Instead of requiring customers to install panels on rooftops, the project allows renters, businesses, and homeowners to subscribe to the solar farm. Participants receive credits on their utility bills for their share of the energy produced.

By delivering clean power directly into the local grid, the project is expected to supply electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of about 670 households.

The project is expected to qualify for New York’s Value of Distributed Energy Resources (“VDER”) program, which determines compensation rates for distributed energy projects. The first-year average rate is estimated at $0.0971 per kilowatt-hour, according to PowerBank’s announcement.

This compensation mechanism provides financial clarity and helps ensure project bankability. For investors, the VDER framework offers greater predictability compared with traditional net metering, aligning payment rates with the value that distributed solar brings to the grid.

The state of New York has emerged as a leader in community solar, accounting for nearly one-third of the U.S. total installed capacity of 6.2 GW. The state’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act sets a target of 6 GW of solar by 2025, making projects such as North Main critical to meeting these goals. For PowerBank, New York represents not only a strategic growth market but also one of the most supportive policy environments for distributed renewable energy.

PowerBank has completed over 100 MW of renewable energy projects to date, spanning solar and battery energy storage initiatives across North America. Its current development pipeline exceeds 1 GW, offering diversification across multiple markets and technologies. As an asset owner and developer, the company generates value both from selling power through long-term agreements and from recurring revenues tied to community solar subscription models.

• Canadian near-term producer LaFleur Minerals is developing an exploration property with 18,304 hectares (45,230 acres) of gold-potential at its Swanson Gold Project, which is located in the heart of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt close to Val-d’Or, Québec, a globally renowned gold district
• The company has undertaken funding initiatives recently to raise capital for its operations
• As part of an ongoing 5,000 metre program at Swanson, LaFleur has already completed seven diamond drill holes on the project, three of which had been sampled, sawn, and sent to the assay laboratory as of early last month
• The company has also filed an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Swanson Gold Project and is working to restart operations of its fully permitted and refurbished Beacon Gold Mill to eventually build a revenue stream from processing nearby mine production as well as its own potential mineralized material from Swanson
• Gold prices have hit record highs of late and some analysts predict gold prices may continue to rise over $4,000 per ounce in the coming year

Gold exploration and development company LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is advancing its two gold projects in the heart of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt close to Val-d’Or, Québec, a globally renowned gold district, where the company began drilling in early July.

The company announced this past month that it had completed seven diamond drill holes totaling 1,764 meters, three of which had been sampled, sawn, and sent to the assay laboratory for analysis of the geological, geophysical, and geochemical targets up to 3 km from the Swanson Gold Deposit and along strike of a major structural break (https://ibn.fm/32sTb).

The company states that visual core logging supports the belief that several of these holes intersected geological features similar to others in the Swanson Gold Deposit that host known mineralization. 

“We are very encouraged by the early progress of the Swanson drilling program and the geological and mineralization similarities seen in the recent drill core to the known Swanson Gold Deposit,” LaFleur CEO Paul Ténière stated in the Aug. 7 news release. “We’re particularly optimistic about the mineralized zone encountered in hole SW-025-038 (a sulphide-rich zone known to be at least 17.9 meters wide) and we look forward to releasing assay results in the near future.”

LaFleur launched a capitalization drive in late July with an agreement to campaign for up to $5 million (Canadian) in debt financing over six months, while simultaneously pursuing an equity offering (https://ibn.fm/bcRs7).

The Canadian company anticipates developing a revenue stream to help fund company operations through the restart of its fully permitted and refurbished Beacon Gold Mill. LaFleur obtained the mill for $1.1 million in a bankruptcy sale, the mill had received more than $20 million in equipment and other upgrades by the former owner, and is situated near other gold miners who may be eager to avail themselves of quick access to a processing facility for their raw ore – an independent valuation report conducted by Bumigeme Inc. set the value of the mill in terms of replacement cost above $71 million.

Gold prices have hit record highs of late and analysts at J.P. Morgan Research are predicting the trend may continue, carrying gold over $4,000 per ounce in 2026 (https://ibn.fm/xoRB4).

LaFleur anticipates it will cost from $3 million to $5 million to restart the mill and bring the tailings pond up to grade, allowing the company to quickly level up from explorer to producer. The mill will be capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day, whether from LaFleur’s own production or custom contracts with neighboring projects, according to the company (https://ibn.fm/vxHGX).

LaFleur hosted a site visit and tour of the mill for interested parties last month. The Aug. 7 news release noted that the company had also reached an agreement with Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. to acquire a key mineral claim in addition to its existing approximately 18,304 hectares (45,230 acres) in its Swanson Gold Project.

LaFleur has filed an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for the project dated July 29.

The growing U.S. presence, combined with recurring contract structures and international projects in Israel, Europe, and EMEA diversify SuperCom’s revenue base.

“We are encouraged by the momentum across the U.S., Europe, and other regions, and we remain committed to disciplined execution and expanding our global footprint. Supported by strong financials and growing recurring relationships, we continue to advance our public-safety mission and deliver value to our stakeholders,” Trabelsi concluded.

• RapidSX is a patent-pending, column-based solvent extraction technology that offers a transformative leap over traditional methods.
• The Strategic Metals Complex in Alexandria, Louisiana, serves as the proving ground for RapidSX technology.
• Ucore’s RapidSX technology has undergone rigorous testing and independent evaluations, consistently demonstrating superior performance.

In the race to secure a sustainable and independent supply of rare earth elements (“REEs”), Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) stands at the forefront with its groundbreaking RapidSX(TM) technology. This innovative approach to REE separation promises to significantly enhance processing efficiency, reduce environmental impact and bolster the United States’ position in the global rare earth supply chain (https://ibn.fm/i5Uol). At the heart of this initiative is the Strategic Metals Complex (“SMC”) in Alexandria, Louisiana, a facility poised to become a cornerstone in the nation’s critical minerals infrastructure.

RapidSX is a patent-pending, column-based solvent extraction technology that offers a transformative leap over traditional methods (https://ibn.fm/wN0hg). Unlike conventional solvent extraction processes that rely on power-intensive mixer-settler tanks, RapidSX utilizes a computerized column system, resulting in up to three times faster processing speeds and a significantly smaller physical footprint. This efficiency translates to reduced capital and operational expenditures, making it a cost-effective solution for large-scale REE production. Additionally, the technology’s modular design allows for scalability, enabling incremental capacity additions to meet growing demand.

The environmental advantages of RapidSX are equally compelling. By eliminating the need for traditional mixer-settler tanks, the technology reduces the consumption of process chemicals and minimizes waste generation. This ecofriendly approach aligns with global sustainability goals and positions Ucore as a leader in responsible rare earth processing.

The Strategic Metals Complex in Alexandria, Louisiana, serves as the proving ground for RapidSX technology (https://ibn.fm/QdeyR). Spanning 80,800 square feet, the facility is being developed under a long-term lease agreement with the England Authority, which manages the England Airpark, a repurposed U.S. Air Force base transformed into a regional economic hub. With the support of an $18.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense, Ucore aims to commence production in 2026, targeting an annual output of 2,000 tonnes of high-purity rare earth oxides, with plans to scale up to 7,500 tonnes by 2028.

This facility is not only a testament to Ucore’s technological advancements but also a strategic move to diversify the U.S. supply chain for critical minerals. The Louisiana SMC is designed to process mixed rare earth chemical concentrates obtained from multiple global feedstock sources, including the Tanbreez Project in Greenland. Ucore recently signed a 10-year agreement with Critical Metals Corp. to supply up to 10,000 metric tons of heavy rare earth concentrate annually from Tanbreez, aligning with the U.S. government’s strategy to reduce reliance on China, which currently dominates the rare earth sector (https://ibn.fm/x8HPs).

Ucore’s RapidSX technology has undergone rigorous testing and independent evaluations, consistently demonstrating superior performance compared to traditional solvent extraction methods (https://ibn.fm/PA2fm). For instance, studies have shown that RapidSX can achieve separation factors within less than 100 seconds, outperforming conventional processes in both speed and efficiency.

Looking ahead, Ucore plans to expand its footprint with additional Strategic Metals Complexes in Canada and Alaska, further solidifying its position in the global rare earth supply chain (https://ibn.fm/wcMVP). With the continued development of RapidSX technology and the strategic establishment of processing facilities like the one in Louisiana, Ucore Rare Metals is poised to play a pivotal role in reshaping the future of rare earth element production and processing.

• The FDA’s orphan drug designation for dusquetide follows encouraging phase 2a clinical trial results demonstrating both biological efficacy and a favorable safety profile.
• CEO notes that “the FDA’s decision to grant orphan drug designation to the SGX945 program signifies an important step for Soligenix.”
• Phase 2a pilot data demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in oral aphthous ulcer healing.

Soligenix (NASDAQ: SNGX) has taken a decisive step forward in the fight against rare diseases, announcing that the FDA has granted orphan drug designation to its investigational therapy dusquetide for the treatment of Behçet’s disease (https://ibn.fm/0t1aK). This key FDA designation underscores not only the strength of recent phase 2 results but also the company’s growing reputation as a late-stage biopharmaceutical innovator dedicated to tackling serious, underserved conditions. 

The FDA’s orphan drug designation for dusquetide follows encouraging phase 2a clinical trial results demonstrating both biological efficacy in reducing oral aphthous ulcers and a favorable safety profile in patients with Behçet’s disease (https://ibn.fm/idr7M). The designation not only highlights the promise of Soligenix’s SGX945 program but also unlocks critical development incentives, such as seven years of U.S. market exclusivity upon approval, potential government grant support, fee waivers and valuable tax credits. 

“Behçet’s disease is an area of unmet medical need, with up to 18,000 people in the U.S., 50,000 in Europe, 350,000 people in Turkey and as many as one million people worldwide affected by this incurable disease,” said Soligenix CEO Dr. Christopher J. Schaber. “Given the clinically meaningful improvements seen in a phase 2 proof-of-concept study in patients with oral aphthous ulcers due to Behçet’s disease, we are hopeful dusquetide will have a role to play in helping underserved patients suffering from this difficult to treat and chronic autoimmune disease. The FDA’s decision to grant orphan drug designation to the SGX945 program signifies an important step for Soligenix as we continue to advance the program and adds significantly to the existing intellectual property estate surrounding this novel technology.”

Characterized by painful redness, swelling and ulceration of the mucous membranes in the mouth, oral mucositis is a common and debilitating condition often triggered by chemotherapy, radiotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The condition causes severe pain, disrupts oral intake and can lead to infections or require nutritional interventions such as parenteral feeding. In extreme cases, treatment protocols may be interrupted or dosage reduced, negatively impacting patient outcomes. Because it compromises patients’ ability to speak, eat and swallow, oral mucositis significantly diminishes quality of life and poses serious challenges in the management of cancer and other treatments.

Soligenix’s development work with dusquetide, specifically targeting oral ulcers, taps into the broader medical need to address oral mucositis effectively. The company’s SGX945 (dusquetide) has earned both fast-track and orphan drug designations for its role in treating oral lesions in Behçet’s disease, further emphasizing the potential overlap with mucositis management  Dusquetide belongs to a class of innate defense regulators (“IDRs”) that modulate the immune response to promote healing, reduce inflammation and protect tissues, an approach that may have meaningful implications for alleviating painful mouth ulcers in Behçet’s patients and possibly beyond.

Phase 2a pilot data demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in oral aphthous ulcer healing, with SGX945 proving well-tolerated and showing no significant adverse effects, a notable contrast to current treatments such as apremilast, known for common side effects such as headache, nausea and diarrhea. This emerging evidence underscores Soligenix’s potential to address a critical unmet need and improve patient outcomes in an underserved population.

By combining regulatory incentives, clinical traction and a compelling therapeutic strategy, Soligenix is establishing a solid development pathway for SGX945. The orphan designation strengthens the company’s IP position and paves the way for future clinical development. As Soligenix advances its SGX945 program, it reinforces its overarching mission to develop novel treatments for rare and challenging conditions, including its ongoing progress with its ricin toxin vaccine candidate (https://ibn.fm/g2Hkx), moving the company closer to delivering impactful therapies to patients in need.

The company’s disciplined strategy emphasizes working with regional operators and experienced consultants, focusing on markets where demographic tailwinds and regulatory barriers support long-term demand. From 2020 through projected 2025, the company achieved compound annual growth rates of 13.6% in Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) and 13.5% in Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”).

In August 2025, the board of directors approved a 14.3% increase in the company’s quarterly dividend to $0.16 per share. Chairman and CEO Moishe Gubin stated that the dividend increase reflects the company’s strong performance and sustainable outlook, while still keeping the payout ratio below 50%.

Strawberry Fields REIT is headquartered in South Bend, Indiana.

Portfolio

As of September 2025, Strawberry Fields REIT owns and holds long-term leasehold interests in 142 healthcare facilities totaling more than 15,500 licensed beds. The portfolio includes 130 skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”), 10 assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), and two long-term acute care hospitals (“LTACHs”), with properties located in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.

In recent months, Strawberry Fields REIT has expanded its portfolio through the following acquisitions:

• Public sports stocks have surged in recent years, drawing more institutional and retail investor interest.
• Brera Holdings operates a multi-club ownership strategy spanning Europe, Africa, and Asia.
• The company completed its majority acquisition of SS Juve Stabia, now competing in Italy’s Serie B.
• Juve Stabia’s squad value rose 245% to $32 million during the 2024–25 season.
• Brera is one of only two MCOs active in Italy’s Serie B, alongside City Football Group.
• The firm’s strategy emphasizes portfolio growth, bottom-up value creation, and fan-to-investor pathways.

Public markets have started to embrace sports franchises and related companies in a way rarely seen before. While historically only a handful of clubs and sports organizations went public, the trend has gained momentum, with sports-related stocks across multiple categories delivering strong gains in recent years, according to a Profluence analysis (https://ibn.fm/5IU6R).

Brera Holdings (NASDAQ: BREA), an Ireland-based international holding company, has built its strategy around multi-club ownership (“MCO”), a model that is increasingly attracting capital. The company is expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s football clubs, offering investors a direct way to participate in the growth of the sports sector.

Brera’s latest expansion came with its completed acquisition of SS Juve Stabia on June 20, 2025. The Serie B club, often referred to as “The Other Team of Naples,” enjoyed a successful 2024–25 season. After securing promotion from Serie C, the team advanced to the semifinals of the Serie A promotion playoffs. Its player roster and squad valuation grew significantly, with Transfermarkt and Social Media Soccer data estimating a 245% increase to $32 million.

This performance underscored the financial upside potential in Brera’s approach. By targeting emerging clubs and driving value through performance, sponsorships, and fan engagement, Brera demonstrates how sports investments can generate measurable returns beyond traditional broadcasting or ticket revenues.

With the Juve Stabia acquisition, Brera became the second MCO operator in Italy’s Serie B. The only other multi-club entity in the league is City Football Group, the Abu Dhabi-backed owner of Manchester City and Palermo FC. This positioning places Brera among a small group of firms leveraging the MCO model at scale in European football.

The company’s portfolio now stretches across multiple geographies. Following the acquisition of Brera FC in Milan in 2022, it has expanded into Africa with Brera Tchumene FC in Mozambique, into Eastern Europe with Brera Strumica FC in North Macedonia, into Asia with Brera Ilch FC in Mongolia, and into women’s football with Brera Tiverija FC. Each move has aligned with its strategy of acquiring undervalued clubs with potential for rapid development.

The broader sports investing market has become increasingly diverse. Publicly traded entities now range from traditional franchises like Madison Square Garden Sports and Liberty Media’s Formula 1 to hybrid assets such as TKO Group, the parent of UFC and WWE. Investor appetite is driven not just by team performance but by the ancillary revenue streams tied to media, real estate, and sponsorship.

Brera’s focus on emerging clubs offers a different angle. Rather than competing for marquee assets, it applies a bottom-up approach, seeking to unlock value where mainstream capital is not yet concentrated. This resembles how private equity has entered the sports space, deploying capital into teams and leagues that were previously off-limits.

A notable aspect of sports investing is the overlap between fan engagement and shareholder interest. Supporters of clubs have shown increasing willingness to invest in teams, whether through formal share offerings or indirect investments. Brera’s strategy aligns with this dynamic, as its growth across markets builds new communities of fans who may eventually also become investors.

This blending of emotional and financial equity is one of the reasons analysts expect more sports assets to test public markets in the future. The Brera model, with its diversified footprint and accessible entry point for investors, reflects this evolution.

While the number of publicly traded sports franchises remains small compared with the size of the industry, the pipeline is expected to expand. For investors, companies like Brera Holdings provide a rare listed option to gain exposure to the growth of professional football clubs and the wider sports ecosystem.

By combining geographic expansion, value-driven acquisitions, and socially impactful initiatives such as the UEFA-recognized FENIX Trophy, Brera is carving out a place in a market where both capital and fan interest are on the rise.

By integrating cutting-edge technology solutions with capital access and operational expertise, GlobalTech positions its subsidiaries to compete on a global scale, accelerating adoption of transformative technologies across diverse industries.

A key component of GlobalTech’s strategy is the establishment of AI and Big Data Center of Excellence (“CoE”), that focus on advanced technology development. One notable example is its CoE for big data and AI in Pakistan, located within the premises of WorldCall Telecom Limited, a GlobalTech subsidiary (ibn.fm/07R2w).

Strategic partnerships also form a critical pillar of GlobalTech’s growth model. Collaborations with companies such as Talina AI enable GlobalTech to create AI-driven solutions for global talent acquisition, automating recruitment processes while reducing biases and inefficiencies (ibn.fm/HtDo3). These alliances reflect the company’s broader vision of applying AI and frontier technologies not only to product development but also to operational excellence, transforming how businesses interact with their employees, clients and global partners. By scaling innovative platforms in conjunction with strategic partners, GlobalTech strengthens its market position and expands its ecosystem of technological solutions.

The telecom business complements the company’s AI and big data initiatives, supporting applications ranging from smart analytics to digital service optimization.

While the company’s broader mission drives its long-term vision, GlobalTech recently reported financial results for Q2 2025 (ibn.fm/oghCX). The company posted a 23.3% increase in net revenue to $5.63 million, driven largely by a 39% rise in international telecom termination minutes. Operational efficiencies contributed to a narrower adjusted EBITDA loss of $(1.84) million compared to $(2.45) million in Q2 2024. CEO Dan Green highlighted that these results validate the company’s strategic focus on operational optimization and the growing demand for its technology-driven solutions.

“GlobalTech delivered solid revenue growth in Q2 2025, reflecting the strength of our long distance and international (“LDI”), broadband and technology services segments,” said GlobalTech CEO Dan Green. “Our strategic shift toward a service-centric model is yielding positive results, with improved Adjusted EBITDA and reduced net loss. We remain focused on optimizing operations, expanding our FTTH network, and advancing our AI and big data product portfolio to drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

GlobalTech’s long-term vision is to continue leveraging its expertise, capital and technological platforms to create lasting value for its stakeholders.
