Micropolis Holding (NYSE American: MCRP), a pioneer in unmanned ground vehicles (“UGVs”) and AI-driven security solutions, announced its membership in NVIDIA’s Inception Program, a global initiative designed to accelerate AI-driven innovation. The collaboration embeds NVIDIA’s GPU and simulation technologies deep within Micropolis’s robotics ecosystem, enhancing the performance, safety, and adaptability of its autonomous platforms.

As part of the partnership, Micropolis is integrating NVIDIA’s GPUs and Orin edge computing modules into its unmanned ground vehicles. These systems handle core robotic functions, including perception, decision-making, and navigation, directly onboard rather than through cloud servers.

By processing data in real time, the robots can detect objects, plan paths, and predict environmental behaviors with low latency. This enables safe and efficient operation even in bandwidth-limited or remote settings such as industrial sites, border zones, and urban environments.

According to Micropolis, deploying AI models on the Orin platform allows its autonomous vehicles to achieve faster response times and improved reliability. 

Micropolis also uses NVIDIA’s Omniverse and Isaac Sim platforms to simulate and validate its robotics systems before field deployment. Through these digital twin environments, engineers can model real-world conditions, test AI algorithms, and assess system behavior under varying parameters.

This simulation capability reduces the need for costly or risky real-world testing while accelerating design cycles. It also allows the company to validate its systems against large-scale scenarios, from crowded urban intersections to complex terrain navigation, that would otherwise be impractical to replicate.

Together, these technologies form the digital backbone of Micropolis’s AI and robotics platform. They enable the company to develop, test, and refine autonomous systems designed and built in the UAE for deployment across global markets.

“Our partnership with NVIDIA not only ensures the technological success and longevity of our products, but also provides a strong foundation for our future scale-up milestones,” the company said in a statement. “By building on NVIDIA’s world-class AI and robotics ecosystem, Micropolis is positioned to lead the next generation of intelligent, autonomous solutions, made in the UAE for the world.”

The NVIDIA partnership comes shortly after Micropolis announced an exclusive distribution agreement with AERXIO FZ-LLC, a UAE-based technology provider. Under the deal, AERXIO gains sole rights to distribute Micropolis’s unmanned ground security vehicles across Egypt and North Africa (https://ibn.fm/KBXxq).

Central to the rollout is “The Patrol,” Micropolis’s flagship autonomous platform engineered for desert and border operations. Capable of speeds up to 50 km/h and a 15-hour runtime, the UGV is equipped with Microspot AI software for real-time perception and situational awareness.

Two of the initial deployments are expected in Egypt, with additional rollouts planned across the wider North African region. The collaboration gives Micropolis access to AERXIO’s network of government and industrial partners, aligning with regional initiatives to modernize infrastructure and security operations using AI-driven systems.

Specializing in UGVs, modular robotics platforms, and AI systems aimed at sectors such as defense, logistics, and smart infrastructure, Micropolis has cultivated relationships with major public-sector clients in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, including Dubai Police, which has supported the testing and integration of autonomous security solutions.

The firm’s modular design approach enables scalability across applications, from perimeter patrol and urban inspection to industrial transport and emergency response. By building a unified architecture for both hardware and software, Micropolis can adapt its systems for different missions while maintaining centralized control through its AI management layer.

The combination of NVIDIA’s hardware acceleration and simulation platforms positions Micropolis to scale production and deploy AI robotics systems in global markets. The company’s expansion into North Africa further extends its reach into markets investing heavily in smart infrastructure and surveillance technology. In Egypt, ongoing digital transformation initiatives and increased border surveillance spending create conditions conducive to adoption of UGV technologies.

• 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.

The October schedule follows OptimumBank’s sponsorship of the 2025 Brokers Expo in New York City on September 17. There, the Bank’s leadership and treasury management specialists met with funders, brokers, and small business representatives. The event reflected OptimumBank’s long-running focus on serving the needs of entrepreneurs, accountants, and legal professionals with customized treasury solutions (https://ibn.fm/RHkf9).

OptimumBank’s business model emphasizes relationship-based banking, complemented by technology upgrades. The Bank plans to roll out a new open-architecture core banking platform later this year, with API-based features supporting paperless processes, improved onboarding, and enhanced treasury management. OptimumBank’s mix of deposit growth and steady profitability positions it to compete in a challenging interest rate environment, while its upcoming presence in San Diego and Hollywood offers an opportunity to showcase financial performance and deepen relationships across multiple constituencies.

OptimumBank’s unique approach was further highlighted in a recent South Florida Community Voice story exploring Gubin’s entrepreneurial journey. Titled “From Candy Sales to Corporate Empires: Moishe’s Relentless Drive,” the story details Gubin’s impressive career, highlighting the leadership drive fueling OptimumBank’s growth (https://ibn.fm/GGqFy).

Describing OptimumBank as his passion project, the publication explains how Gubin joined the Bank’s board at a time when it was struggling, but he was able to turn things around by bringing investors and stabilizing operations. Competing against banking giants, the Bank had to find its niche, and the unique mix of technology and personal touch was the answer. “At big banks, you’re a number. At Optimum, you’re a person,” the Chairman said. “If you need something, you pick up the phone and someone who knows you answers.” OptimumBank is now one of the top-performing small banks in the country. “We turned something that was on the brink of collapse into one of the best,” Gubin told the publication.

• Oncotelic Therapeutics developed the Deciparticles(TM) technology to improve the bioavailability of drugs, largely thanks to the creation of sub-20nm size of the nanoparticles
• Sapu Nano, part of Oncotelic’s GMP Bio joint venture, receives clearance to begin Phase 1 trial of Sapu003, an injectable form of Everolimus (Afinitor(R)) for breast cancer
• In preclinical studies, Sapu003 could raise the bioavailability of Everolimus (Afinitor(R)) from around 10%, as oral pill, up to anywhere from 80 to 100%, as injectable
• Result hopes for higher bioavailability in that drugs may have dramatically better, faster, and more consistent efficacy for patients

Oncotelic Therapeutics (OTCQB: OTLC) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing a diversified pipeline spanning oncology, immunotherapy, neurodegeneration, and rare diseases. In a recent interview on the BioMedWire podcast, Chairman and CEO Dr. Vuong Trieu emphasized the company’s unique model: focusing on de-risked, late-stage assets and accelerating their development through regulatory pathways designed for speed and efficiency.

The technology, called Deciparticles(TM), is being developed by Sapu Nano, a member of the Sapu family of companies, which is established through GMP Biotechnology Limited, which itself is a joint venture between Oncotelic Therapeutics and Dragon Overseas Capital Limited. This technology enabled creation of sub-20 nm nanoparticles that aim to overcome common drug-related problems like subpar bioavailability and limited penetration, by utilizing tiny particles to enhance the delivery.

The concept lies within the incredibly small size of Deciparticles(TM), meaning that more of the drug may be able to quickly exit the blood vessels and reach the tumor more effectively vs. drugs that use larger particles.

For patients, this could mean that drugs work faster, more consistently, and are stronger. In terms of impact, this could mean anything from slowing down cancer growth, to even eliminating it in some cases. The technology is also scalable and could offer wide-ranging benefits for various types of drugs. Oncotelic is hopeful of robust outcomes in the clinical trials ahead.

Dr. Trieu also went into more detail about Deciparticles(TM), saying that the technology and pipeline was created at the company’s GMP-certified manufacturing facility in San Diego, CA. The facility was built from the ground up by the team and is the first one in the world to be developing Deciparticles(TM).
