• Silver prices have surged more than 60% this year, nearing the all-time high of $49.45 per ounce. 
• Gold prices have surged roughly 53% this year, reaching new all time highs of over $4,000 per ounce.
• In addition to strong investment appetite, industrial demand, particularly from solar and EV sectors, underpins silver’s long-term fundamentals.
• New Pacific’s Silver Sand and Carangas (starter pit) projects in Bolivia could yield nearly 19 million ounces of silver annually. 
• Carangas also has significant gold potential, strengthening project economics amid high prices, as gold reached record highs above $4,000.
• Bolivia’s October 19 presidential runoff may open the door for more foreign mining investment.

Silver prices climbed past $48 an ounce in early October, up well over 60% year-to-date and approaching the 1980 record of $49.45 (https://ibn.fm/vo2aL). The impressive surge is driven by both macroeconomic and structural factors: persistent inflation, growing industrial demand from renewable energy and electronics, and global uncertainty that is pushing investors into safe haven assets like precious metals (https://ibn.fm/t4d1l).

Industrial use is key to the growing demand and price surge. Silver demand in solar panels and electric vehicles has reached record levels, with projections that renewable infrastructure will consume more silver by 2050 than has been mined over the last five centuries. This dual role, as both an industrial and monetary asset, distinguishes silver from other commodities.

Against this backdrop, New Pacific Metals (NYSE American: NEWP) (TSX: NUAG), a Canadian exploration and development company, is drawing investor attention. The company has projects in Bolivia, Silver Sand and Carangas, that stand out as two of the largest undeveloped silver deposits globally. Together, they are projected to produce nearly 19 million ounces annually when developed.

Bolivia offers opportunity but comes with challenges. From Cerro Rico in Potosí, one of the richest deposits in history, to today’s underexplored highlands, the country remains mineral-rich. The country is the world’s fourth-largest silver producer, accounting for 5% of global supply in 2024. Yet more than 60% of its territory remains underexplored. Geological potential is significant, but slow permitting has deterred foreign capital.

The upcoming presidential runoff on October 19 could mark a turning point. The ruling MAS party, dominant for two decades, lost in August elections. Both remaining candidates have signaled greater openness to foreign investment. For companies like New Pacific, it could unlock the ability to move key projects forward.

If investment conditions improve following the election, New Pacific’s projects could help Bolivia reclaim its historical role as a central player in global silver supply, while offering shareholders leverage to one of the most dynamic commodities of 2025.

Silver Sand is the company’s flagship in Bolivia, with potential annual production of 12 million ounces. Carangas adds at least another 6.6 million ounces of silver a year over 16 years under its preliminary economic assessment, which focused on starter pit within a much larger resource. At $24 silver, Carangas economics are already strong, with a post-tax NPV5% of $501 million, an internal rate of return of 26%, and a 3.2-year payback period. All-in sustaining costs are projected at $7.60 per ounce. With silver prices now over $48 an ounce, the project’s leverage to rising prices is substantial, highlighting its strong economic potential.

What makes Carangas more compelling is its gold upside. Exploration indicates over 1.3 million ounces of gold potential at depth, not yet included in the PEA. With gold trading above $4,000, the addition of gold credits could substantially enhance project economics and offer a hedge if silver prices consolidate. On October 8, gold reached a new record price of $4,050 an ounce, marking a 53% increase so far this year (https://ibn.fm/l5JoT).

• Lantern’s RADR(R) AI platform is helping identify optimal indications and pathways for precision cancer therapies.
• Dr. Schalop reflects on lessons from developing ONC201, approved for H3K27M-mutant glioma, after a 16-year journey.
• Both leaders highlight the potential for AI to accelerate regulatory reviews and clinical trial design.
• The conversation underscores how AI could reduce oncology drug timelines and costs, improving patient access to new treatments, and how STAR-001, Lantern’s new CNS cancer drug, can benefit from these AI-driven insights.

In oncology, the path from molecule discovery to patient treatment often stretches over a decade and can consume hundreds of millions of dollars. Lantern Pharma (NASDAQ: LTRN), a clinical-stage biotechnology company leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to redefine oncology drug development, aims to challenge that timeline. 

In a recent discussion titled “From Discovery to Clinical Trials to Patients: Key Decisions Shaping Novel CNS Oncology Medicines,” Lantern CEO Panna Sharma and new board member Dr. Lee Schalop, co-founder of Oncoceutics and a key figure behind the development of ONC201 (dordaviprone), explored how data science and machine learning could shorten the journey from lab to clinic in central nervous system (“CNS”) oncology (https://ibn.fm/vC0Ma).

Dr. Schalop, who began his career on Wall Street before earning a medical degree in his 40s, said his unique background helped him bridge science and strategy. “I realized I could probably do more by combining my business background with my new medical knowledge,” he said. That blend of experience ultimately led him to co-found Oncoceutics, where ONC201 became one of the first drugs approved for H3K27M-mutant glioma, a rare and aggressive brain cancer. Now joining Lantern’s board, Schalop brings both a cautionary and optimistic view of how the next generation of CNS drugs can be developed faster and smarter, especially through the use of artificial intelligence.

ONC201’s development began with phenotypic screening: testing compounds for general anti-cancer activity without knowing their mechanism of action. Working with the Broad Institute, Schalop’s team discovered that the molecule showed particular efficacy against brain cancer.

However, identifying the precise genetic context (the H3K27M mutation) took years of additional preclinical and clinical work. The breakthrough came during a Phase 2 trial at Harvard, when one patient’s tumor disappeared. That patient, it turned out, was the only one with the H3K27M mutation. “An AI-type program would have known about this, because it was known at this time, although just not well known,” Schalop said. “And it would have immediately put the pieces together and said, ‘Aha, this patient had it, no one else did. This is where you should devote your effort.’”

Sharma agreed that machine learning systems could have accelerated those insights. Lantern’s own platform, RADR(R) is designed to perform precisely that function. Built to analyze vast genomic and clinical datasets, RADR(R) identifies which cancer subtypes and mutations are most likely to respond to specific compounds. The platform supports Lantern’s three lead drug candidates and an antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”) program across 12 cancer indications.

For Sharma, the promise of AI isn’t just speed, but accuracy and the ability to select the right patient populations early and design smarter trials. He cited STAR-001, a Lantern program targeting CNS cancers, as a candidate that could follow a more efficient path than traditional drug development.

The discussion also turned to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and how regulators might use AI to shorten the pre-review phase of drug approvals. Schalop explained that it took 16 years to get ONC201 from discovery to approval. Even if the FDA can shorten its review timeline, the real opportunity is to make the 10 years before that faster, he added.

Both speakers mentioned growing interest in artificial intelligence uses within the agency, as current commissioner Marty Makary has discussed using AI to process and analyze complex scientific submissions more efficiently. Sharma added that Lantern is already deploying AI internally to summarize trial data in hours rather than weeks. “Scientific review and biomedical literature review and data review and analysis take a long time for humans to do well,” he said. “If you can get systems to do it even better and do it within minutes, as opposed to weeks or months,” that is a real game changer.

Oncoceutics’ lean approach (roughly $25 million in equity and a similar amount in grants) kept control in the founders’ hands but extended the timeline. Eventually, the company was acquired by Chimerix and later by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, which brought ONC201 to approval at a total cost of around $300-$400 million.

By contrast, AI-assisted development could lower both timelines and costs. Identifying optimal indications early reduces the number of unsuccessful trials, while predicting effective combinations may limit expensive exploratory work.

Schalop noted that AI could also make combination trials more feasible: “If you can figure out how something will probably work, as opposed to might work, it will be worth spending the time and money to try that combination.”

Both Sharma and Schalop emphasized that the ultimate goal of these technologies is to improve outcomes for patients with rare, hard-to-treat cancers. Each year, roughly 2,000 U.S. patients are diagnosed with H3K27M-mutant glioma, the same group now eligible for ONC201 treatment.

For Sharma, the message is clear: oncology’s future depends on integrating clinical experience with data science. “I think it’s a great time to be in medicine. There’s just so much data and people are publishing so much. It’s an exciting time. And hopefully it translates more and more into better patient outcomes,” he concluded.

• The Nevada Titan Project is a flagship, district-scale asset with multiple deposit styles, high-grade copper assays, and clear porphyry-skarn potential.
• Fairchild’s pending acquisition of the Golden Arrow Project could add a resource-stage gold-silver asset to the portfolio upon closing.
• The Fairchild Lake Property provides a second, 100%-owned exploration opportunity in Ontario’s underexplored Savant Lake belt.
• The company is advancing its projects using AI-integrated geophysics, drone magnetics, and modern geochemical analysis to accelerate targeting.
• Fairchild’s leadership team brings deep experience in geology, policy, capital markets, and mine development across global jurisdictions.

Fairchild (TSX.V: FAIR) is a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing high-quality mineral properties in mining-friendly jurisdictions across North America. The company targets projects with historical production, strong multi-metal potential, and clear pathways to discovery through modern geoscience, AI integration, and responsible development practices.

Fairchild’s portfolio is anchored by the Nevada Titan Project, a district-scale, copper-gold system located just outside Las Vegas in the prolific Walker Lane Belt. The company has also entered into an MOU to acquire the advanced-stage Golden Arrow Project in Nevada, subject to completion of a definitive agreement, and it holds 100% ownership of the Fairchild Lake Property in Ontario.

Fairchild’s mission is to build long-term value by identifying overlooked mineralized systems and unlocking their potential using modern exploration methods.

The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Projects

Nevada Titan Project (Goodsprings District, Nevada)

Nevada Titan is Fairchild’s flagship asset and a district-scale, multi-metal opportunity located just 55 kilometers southwest of Las Vegas. Spanning over 6,150 acres (300+ claims), the project sits within the historically productive Goodsprings Mining District—part of the prolific Walker Lane Belt and Battle Mountain Trend extension. The area hosts numerous historic mines, including Copperside, Copper Chief, Azurite, and Fitzhugh Lee, yet remains largely untested by modern drilling.

Surface sampling and geological mapping have confirmed high-grade copper mineralization up to 34.0% Cu, with associated values of gold, silver, molybdenum, and platinum group elements. A 1.5-kilometer copper-gold corridor has been identified, showing pods and lenses of mineralization consistent with a porphyry-skarn-CRD system. Notably, the discovery of a hydrothermal breccia pipe with garnet-bearing skarn textures and elevated molybdenum signals a porphyry-affiliated source at depth.

Ongoing exploration includes drone magnetics, AI-integrated targeting, and induced polarization geophysics. With infrastructure already in place and proximity to Las Vegas contractors, Fairchild is preparing for a 2026 drill campaign focused on unlocking the project’s large-scale copper-gold system.

Golden Arrow Project (Walker Lane Shear Zone, Nevada)

In September 2025, Fairchild signed a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire 100% of the Golden Arrow Project, an advanced-stage gold-silver asset in Nevada’s Walker Lane Trend. The project hosts a historic mineral resource estimate of approximately 347,000 ounces of gold and 5.3 million ounces of silver, including 296,500 ounces of gold and 4.0 million ounces of silver in the measured and indicated categories. According to third-party analysis by mining analyst Ryan D. Long, the total acquisition consideration of $5.0 million equates to approximately $12 per ounce of gold in the ground.

The project’s two main deposits, Gold Coin and Hidden Hill, were historically mined at surface and remain open at depth, supported by over 61,000 meters of past drilling. Modern geophysical work has outlined 34 additional exploration targets, including six classified as high-priority. Hosted in a volcanic complex with both high-grade vein and disseminated mineralization, the system offers strong potential for expansion.

Golden Arrow is situated just 96 kilometers from Kinross’s 28-million-ounce Round Mountain Mine and expands Fairchild’s Nevada footprint by 170% when combined with the Titan Project. The project’s extensive exploration database and near-surface deposits make the acquisition a compelling strategic entry point into a proven district with significant near-term development potential.

Fairchild Lake Property (Savant Lake Greenstone Belt, Ontario)

Fairchild Gold holds 100% ownership of the Fairchild Lake Property, a 2,224-hectare claim package in Ontario’s underexplored Savant Lake greenstone belt. Historical and recent work, including airborne geophysics and soil sampling, has identified anomalous gold values near the Kashaweogama Lake Fault, a major crustal break. The company draws geological comparisons to Red Lake’s LP Fault and views the structural setting as a promising focus for future exploration.

Market Opportunity

Fairchild operates in Tier-1 mining jurisdictions where political stability, established infrastructure, and clear permitting pathways reduce development risk and enhance long-term value. Nevada, in particular, is a top-ranked global destination for mineral exploration and home to some of the world’s most productive gold and copper belts. Fairchild’s flagship project, Nevada Titan, is located in the Walker Lane Belt, a prolific trend responsible for more than 89 million ounces of gold and nearly 1 billion ounces of silver to date.

The company is strongly positioned to benefit from the ongoing historic bull market in gold. In early October 2025, Goldman Sachs raised its December 2026 gold price forecast to $4,900 per ounce, citing strong ETF inflows and sustained central bank demand. A Jefferies analyst has projected gold could reach $6,600 per ounce in the near term, while other major institutions including UBS and Bank of America have also raised their targets amid elevated geopolitical risk, structural reserve diversification, and anticipated U.S. rate cuts. With limited new supply and rising demand from both institutional and retail investors, gold remains a cornerstone of portfolio hedging and upside exposure.

Copper also remains a core strategic focus, with demand expected to double by 2035, driven by electrification, grid modernization, and clean energy buildout, according to S&P Global. The Nevada Titan Project hosts porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization, along with skarn and carbonate replacement features—deposit types that are key global sources of both industrial and precious metals.

“At England Airpark in Alexandria, Ucore North America Rare Metals Inc. began construction in May on a plant that will separate rare earth metals from oxides shipped to the facility through the Port of New Orleans,” the report continues. “Ucore received Department of Defense grants totaling $22.4 million to design and build the plant and was chosen for $15 million in tax exemptions by Louisiana Gov. Jon Bel Edwards in 2023. England Airpark, a repurposed Air Force base, is a duty-free zone.”

Ucore Rare Metals specializes in the extraction and processing of rare earth elements, with a focus on developing domestic capabilities that reduce U.S. dependence on foreign supply chains (https://ibn.fm/fPmQ6). Its proprietary RapidSX(TM) technology offers a scalable and environmentally conscious approach to REE separation and purification. By situating its SMC in Louisiana, Ucore benefits from a combination of strategic location, workforce readiness and economic incentives that enhance the company’s competitive position in the critical minerals sector.

One of the major advantages of Louisiana is its multiple Foreign Trade Zones (“FTZ”) at various ports and locations throughout the state, including England Airpark. A foreign-trade zone is a designated location in the United States where companies can use special customs procedures that help encourage U.S. activity and value added, in competition with foreign alternatives, by allowing delayed or reduced duty payments on foreign merchandise, as well as other savings (https://ibn.fm/CoqDY). This status allows Ucore to import raw materials without paying duties until the materials are formally introduced into the U.S. market, effectively lowering operational costs and simplifying logistics.

The state of Louisiana has further supported the SMC with an incentive package valued at more than $15 million. This includes the Industrial Tax Exemption Program (“ITEP”), offering up to $8.2 million in tax benefits, along with infrastructure grants and lease subsidies (https://ibn.fm/bLeF7). These incentives are designed to offset startup costs and encourage long-term investment in the state. The combination of federal, state and local support ensures that Ucore can focus on scaling its operations efficiently.

Another key factor in Louisiana’s appeal is its workforce readiness, supported by the Louisiana Economic Development FastStart program. FastStart provides tailored workforce training solutions to meet the specific needs of new and expanding businesses. Ucore’s SMC will have access to skilled personnel capable of operating complex, high-tech separation and refining equipment, ensuring the facility runs smoothly and efficiently from the outset (https://ibn.fm/om16c).

The SMC is designed with scalability in mind. Initial production targets are set at 2,000 tonnes per annum of high-purity rare earth oxides, with plans to increase capacity to 5,000 tonnes per annum by 2026 and potentially 7,500 tonnes per annum by 2027. This allows Ucore to adjust to market demand while maintaining operational efficiency. Strategic partnerships, such as supply agreements with Critical Metals Ltd., ensure a stable source of rare earth concentrate for processing, further reinforcing the company’s ability to deliver a reliable domestic supply.

Ucore’s Louisiana operations are not only economically strategic but also align with U.S. national security objectives. The Department of Defense has provided funding support to enhance domestic rare earth processing capabilities, reflecting the growing importance of secure, locally sourced critical minerals. The SMC, combined with RapidSX technology and a favorable business environment, positions Ucore as a central player in the North American REE supply chain.

Ucore Rare Metals demonstrates why Louisiana is becoming a prime destination for critical mineral processing. Strategic location, economic incentives, an FTZ designation, and a skilled workforce converge to make the SMC a model for domestic rare earth production. As the company advances operations, its Louisiana facility will play a pivotal role in meeting the growing demand for rare earth elements that underpin green technology and national defense initiatives.

• The 18-to-34 age group has become the most significant segment in golf, both in terms of participation and influence.
• Newton Golf Company has developed products that resonate with the preferences and expectations of young adult golfers.
• In addition to product innovation, Newton Golf is committed to fostering a community that supports young golfers.

Golf is experiencing a dynamic transformation, with young adults aged 18 to 34 emerging as the sport’s largest demographic. Newton Golf Company (NASDAQ: NWTG) is strategically positioned to meet the evolving needs of this vibrant group, offering innovative and high-quality golf equipment tailored to enhance their playing experience.

The 18-to-34 age group has become the most significant segment in golf, both in terms of participation and influence (https://ibn.fm/7j3We). In 2024, approximately 6.3 million young adults played on traditional golf courses, surpassing other age demographics. This surge reflects a broader trend of younger individuals embracing golf, driven by factors such as increased accessibility, social media influence and a shift towards more casual and inclusive forms of play. The National Golf Foundation (“NGF”) attributes this growth to the rise of off-course venues such as Topgolf and the proliferation of golf-related content on platforms such as YouTube, which have made the sport more appealing and approachable to younger audiences.

Furthermore, a KemperSports survey revealed that nearly 27% of new golfers were aged 18 to 34 (https://ibn.fm/vCAPN). This indicates a strong influx of younger players into the game, many of whom are engaging with golf in novel ways that align with their lifestyle preferences. These new golfers often seek social experiences, flexible playing options and a community-oriented environment, all of which are reshaping the traditional image of golf as an exclusive or elite activity.

Newton Golf Company recognizes the importance of catering to this demographic and has developed products that resonate with the preferences and expectations of young adult golfers. The company’s offerings, such as its Fast Motion Driver Shaft and Gravity Putters, are designed with cutting-edge technology and modern aesthetics to fit the needs of all golfers, but with a special appeal to the younger audience.

The Fast Motion Driver Shaft, for instance, incorporates advanced materials and design principles to optimize swing speed and control, addressing the desire among young golfers for equipment that enhances their game. Similarly, the Gravity Putters feature an ultra-low balance point, promoting a smoother and more controlled putting stroke, which is crucial for players of any age who are seeking consistency and precision on the greens.

In addition to product innovation, Newton Golf Company is committed to fostering a community that supports young golfers. The company engages with its audience through various channels, including social media and events, to create a sense of belonging and encourage participation in the sport. By aligning its brand with the values and interests of young adults, Newton Golf is not only providing quality equipment but also contributing to the broader movement of making golf more accessible and appealing to a new generation.

The growing influence of young adults in golf presents both opportunities and challenges for the industry. Companies such as Newton Golf Company that understand and adapt to the preferences of this demographic are ideally positioned to thrive in the evolving landscape of the sport. By continuing to innovate and engage with young golfers, Newton Golf is committed to shape the future of golf, ensuring that the sport remains a dynamic and inclusive activity for generations to come.
