• Nutriband’s AVERSA(TM) technology is advancing toward commercialization as the first abuse-deterrent transdermal fentanyl patch
• Recent FDA regulatory changes underscore the urgent need for safer opioid delivery methods and responsible prescribing
• Strategic milestones with partner Kindeva and a strengthened global IP portfolio position Nutriband for long-term growth

A Market Demanding Safer Opioid Solutions

The opioid crisis remains a critical public health challenge in the U.S. and globally, prompting a series of new regulatory measures designed to improve safety and reduce misuse. In early 2025, the FDA approved Journavx (suzetrigine), a first-in-class non-opioid painkiller offering patients safer alternatives to opioids. Additionally, opioid manufacturers are now required to include prepaid mail-back envelopes for safe disposal of unused medications, while enhanced boxed warnings on opioid labels further reinforce the dangers of misuse, addiction, and overdose.

These regulatory shifts reflect a growing emphasis on not only expanding non-opioid options but also improving the safety of existing opioid therapies, creating a compelling market opportunity for innovative technologies that deter abuse without compromising patient access.

Nutriband’s Unique Approach to Abuse-Deterrent Delivery

Nutriband (NASDAQ: NTRB) is at the forefront of this evolving landscape with its proprietary AVERSA(TM) technology, which embeds aversive agents into transdermal drug patches to deter misuse, diversion, and accidental exposure. The company’s lead product, AVERSA(TM) Fentanyl, combines Nutriband’s abuse-deterrent formulation with Kindeva Drug Delivery’s FDA-approved fentanyl patch, aiming to become the world’s first opioid pain patch with built-in abuse-deterrent properties.

According to Nutriband’s shareholder letter in April, AVERSA(TM) Fentanyl could achieve peak annual sales between $80 million and $200 million, with its next candidate, AVERSA(TM) Buprenorphine, targeting peak sales of $70 million to $130 million. Importantly, recent commercial cost analyses have confirmed the economic viability of integrating AVERSA(TM) into existing FDA-approved transdermal products, positioning NTRB to capture high-margin opportunities in a market desperate for safer pain management solutions.

Progress Toward Commercialization

In 2024, Nutriband made significant strides in scaling up its manufacturing processes and strengthening its supply chain infrastructure to meet FDA regulatory standards. A major milestone was achieved with Kindeva Drug Delivery formalizing an exclusive partnership, enabling NTRB to shift from feasibility to full-scale commercial development of AVERSA(TM). This collaboration not only validates the technology but also reduces dilution risks for shareholders, as highlighted by the company’s successful $8.4 million private placement in April 2024.

Looking ahead, Nutriband is preparing to enter pivotal Human Abuse Liability (“HAL”) clinical trials, a key step toward filing a New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the FDA. The company’s global intellectual property portfolio, now covering 46 countries including recent approvals in China and the U.S., further cements its leadership in abuse-deterrent transdermal drug delivery.

A Strategic Outlook for 2025 and Beyond

Nutriband’s ambitions for 2025 include advancing AVERSA(TM) Fentanyl through clinical trials, exploring international licensing opportunities, and expanding its commercial manufacturing collaborations. Notably, its Pocono Pharma subsidiary continues to generate strong revenue from contract manufacturing services, particularly through its growing partnership with KT Tape, the world leader in kinesiology tape.

As opioid safety regulations tighten and the demand for abuse-deterrent therapies increases, Nutriband is well-positioned to capitalize on these trends. With a unique technology platform, strategic alliances, and a robust IP foundation, the company stands out as a promising player addressing one of the pharmaceutical industry’s most urgent challenges.

• A growing number of golfers competing at the highest levels of senior professional golf are making the switch to Newton’s innovative equipment.
• The tech behind the shaft is key to its performance.
• The benefits of Newton Motion shafts are not exclusive to seasoned professionals.

Newton Golf Company (NASDAQ: NWTG) Motion shafts are garnering significant attention for the impressive performance benefits they offer, particularly among players on the Champions Tour. A recent Golf.com article praised the high-quality construction of these shafts and noted that a growing number of golfers competing at the highest levels of senior professional golf are making the switch to Newton’s innovative equipment (https://ibn.fm/jj5ki). This surge in popularity highlights Newton Golf’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of golf shaft technology, offering players a more consistent, powerful and reliable swing.

“If you’ve been paying attention to what’s in players’ bags on the Champions Tour lately, you’ve probably noticed something sneaky-good popping up more and more: Newton Motion shafts,” the article stated. “In a sea of ‘proprietary blends’ and ‘made for’ composites, Newton shafts aren’t just your average pieces of graphite.”

The article details why Newton Motion shafts are rapidly becoming the choice of discerning professional players. Many players on the Champions Tour, who typically possess smooth, controlled swing tempos, find the Motion shafts particularly beneficial. The shafts are designed to maximize energy transfer during the swing, resulting in longer, more accurate drives.

Noting that Newton shafts support smoother, more efficient swings and keep spin and launch “dialed in without needing max effort,” the article reported that a Newton shaft “provides results: stability through the transition, tight dispersion and efficient energy transfer. When you’ve spent most of your professional career playing by feel, that’s everything. Newton gives [players] stability and performance, without sacrificing feel or feedback.”

The tech behind the shaft is key to its performance, the article noted. “The Newton Motion features something they call ‘Progressive Loading.’ In plain English, it means the shaft flexes in a way that better matches your swing tempo and speed. Instead of a harsh kick or too much lag, the Motion gives you a super controlled load and release, so you can square the face consistently and start it where you’re looking. This ‘Elongated Bend Profile’ enhances clubhead speed by allowing the shaft to bend over a longer span,” the article explained.

Importantly, the article also noted that the benefits of Newton Motion shafts are not exclusive to seasoned professionals. Amateur golfers and club players who have transitioned to Newton shafts are reporting similar improvements in performance. Stories of golfers gaining as much as 16 yards in driving distance after switching to a Newton shaft were cited, underscoring that the company’s technology offers real, tangible advantages for golfers of all levels. Whether a golfer is striving for greater consistency off the tee or simply looking to enjoy the game with improved results, Newton’s innovation is proving to be a game-changer.

Newton Golf’s official website provides additional context to the technologies that are transforming the way golfers approach equipment selection (https://ibn.fm/woY5A). The Newton Motion Driver Shaft, one of the company’s flagship products, is engineered to provide optimal swing speed, enhanced control, and smoother feel — all while maintaining maximum distance potential. Made with premium carbon fiber materials and tested rigorously in real-world conditions, the Motion Driver Shaft offers superior durability and consistency.

Another user-centric aspect of Newton Golf’s approach is its simplified flex selection system. Instead of relying on confusing traditional flex labels like “regular” or “stiff,” Newton recommends shafts based on a golfer’s average driving distance. This makes it much easier for players to find the correct shaft that matches their swing characteristics without second-guessing technical specifications. In addition to helping players select the right equipment, Newton backs its products with a 30-day money-back guarantee and offers free shipping within the continental United States, further reinforcing its customer-first commitment.

As the Newton Motion shafts continue to make waves on the Champions Tour and among amateur players, Newton Golf is solidifying its place as one of the most exciting and innovative brands in golf equipment today. By focusing on delivering real, measurable benefits to players and pushing the limits of shaft technology, Newton Golf is not just participating in the conversation about golf innovation but leading it.

• SolarBank plans to develop a 7.2 MW DC ground-mount solar project in upstate New York, part of a growing pipeline of SolarBank developments in the area.
• The project will operate under a community solar model, with customer acquisition managed by Solar Simplified, and is expected to power approximately 850 homes.
• In addition, the new development will participate in New York’s VDER rate program and may qualify for NYSERDA incentives.

Disseminated on behalf of SolarBank Corporation

SolarBank (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 the development of a new 7.2 megawatt DC ground-mount solar project in upstate New York. The Glor Rd project, as it is known, adds to a string of solar installations that the company is developing across the region (https://ibn.fm/Z98Pf).

The project will operate under New York’s community solar framework, which allows residents and renters to subscribe to clean energy without installing solar panels on their own properties. Once online, the project is expected to provide electricity for approximately 850 homes.

The company has secured a lease for the project site and initiated its interconnection study, a key step in assessing how the project will connect to the local electric grid. Completion of the study will allow the company to move forward with permitting and financing.

The project is eligible for compensation under New York’s Value of Distributed Energy Resources (“VDER”) mechanism. The VDER rate compensates solar projects for the energy they supply to the grid. For Glor Rd, the projected average year-one compensation is $0.0971/kWh under Public Utility Commission case 15-E-0751.

In addition, SolarBank is targeting one-time incentives of up to $0.245 per watt DC through the NYSERDA NY-Sun Program. These state-level incentives are designed to support the upfront financing of solar projects and are a key part of New York’s broader renewable energy strategy.

Once operational, Glor Rd will feed power directly into the grid, with subscribed residents earning monthly credits on their electric bills. Solar Simplified, SolarBank’s customer acquisition and subscription partner, will handle outreach, enrollment, and ongoing subscriber management. This arrangement enables SolarBank to concentrate on project development while ensuring a reliable revenue stream from full project subscription.

The Glor Rd site is part of a broader expansion by SolarBank across upstate New York, where the company is developing a pipeline of solar assets totaling more than one gigawatt. This effort reflects both state policy momentum in support of clean energy and growing private-sector appetite for distributed solar generation.

The project announcement reinforces SolarBank’s activity in a state that has been aggressively pursuing renewable energy targets. With policies like VDER and NYSERDA incentives in place, upstate New York continues to offer fertile ground for clean energy developers seeking stable returns and long-term growth.

• ESGold has identified a large-scale geophysical anomaly in the southwest zone of its Montauban Project in Quebec, showing strong conductivity and magnetic signals typical of VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) systems.
• A new 3D geological model is being developed, integrating historical and modern geophysical data, and an expanded Ambient Noise Tomography (“ANT”) survey will help define the anomaly’s structure and depth.
• The company continues to advance toward near-term production while evaluating district-scale exploration potential and offers a relatively affordable way for investors to gain gold exposure compared to purchasing bullion at high prices.

ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF), a fully permitted, pre-production resource company on a clear path to near-term gold and silver production, has reported the identification of a significant geophysical anomaly in the southwest portion of its Montauban Project in Quebec. According to a company press release, internal analysis of historical VTEM (Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic) survey data and drill records has highlighted this area as a high-priority exploration target (https://ibn.fm/1esM9).

The zone, which has not yet been tested by drilling, displays a strong combination of electromagnetic conductivity and magnetic response, a dual signal often associated with buried, sulfide-rich VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) deposits. These types of systems are typically high in base and precious metals, including copper, zinc, and gold.

ESGold believes this southwest anomaly may be larger and more structurally complex than the historically mined zones to the northeast. It forms part of a reevaluation of the project’s long-term potential, as the company continues to move toward initial production through tailings reprocessing later this year.

Since the original VTEM survey was conducted in 2015, ESGold has increased its landholdings in the region to 255 claims, totaling over 13,000 hectares. The company says this expansion was strategically driven by earlier geophysical data indicating the presence of clustered VMS systems, rather than a single-deposit structure.

To refine its understanding of the anomaly, ESGold is finalizing a 3D geological model of the Montauban property. This model will incorporate multiple datasets:

• The 2015 VTEM and total magnetic intensity (“TMI”) survey
• More than 950 historic drillholes
• Over 18,000 assays for gold, silver, and zinc
• Structural interpretation from geologic and geophysical mapping
• New data from an ongoing Ambient Noise Tomography (“ANT”) survey

The ANT method, which uses passive seismic imaging, was originally designed to reach 400 meters but has now imaged beyond 800 meters—doubling expectations and significantly increasing the potential to outline a deeper mineralized system. The 3D results will guide the future planned expansion of survey coverage.

Looking ahead, the company plans to release the 3D model in May 2025, followed by additional ANT data analysis and an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”). The new PEA will reflect both current metal prices and potential near-surface mineralization not previously factored into the economic model.

In parallel, construction work continues on ESGold’s tailings reprocessing facility, with the goal of commencing production by the end of 2025. The reprocessing operation offers a shorter-term revenue path while the company evaluates broader exploration opportunities.

ESGold’s shares offer a relatively low-cost way to gain exposure to potential upside in the gold market, particularly at a time when gold prices remain high. While buying physical gold or ETFs can be capital intensive, small-cap explorers like ESGold may offer higher return prospects should drilling confirm a new mineralized zone. If the anomaly proves mineralized, it could reframe the Montauban asset from a legacy mine to a multi-zone exploration play in a region historically known for precious and base metals. Further updates are expected following the release of the 3D geological model and interpretation of the expanded ANT survey later this quarter.

“The southwest anomaly represents a technically interesting and previously untested zone at Montauban,” said ESGold President Brad Kitchen. He added that while the near-term focus remains on production, the expanded land position and evolving dataset “are beginning to reveal a much broader opportunity.”

“With a growing dataset, disciplined exploration approach, and a pathway to self-funded discovery, ESGold is well positioned to pursue both production and the longer-term potential of the Montauban system,” he said.
