ISSUED ON BEHALF OF PRAIRIE OPERATING CO.

With AI-driven power demand forecast to jump 165%[1], tiny Prairie Operating Co. (NASDAQ: PROP) has already multiplied output ten-fold[2] and locked in $68 oil[3]—positioning itself as a low-cost lifeline for America’s looming energy crunch.

America’s emergency oil stockpile is already at a forty-year low, and Washington estimates it will take $20 billion and several years to refill.[4]

That gap between soaring energy demand and shrinking strategic reserves is creating a rare window for nimble, low-cost producers who can pump reliable barrels right now.

Enter Prairie Operating Co. (NASDAQ: PROP) — a Colorado driller that’s just come off a $602 million scale-up and secured a billion-dollar credit line from Wall Street’s top banks.

In the next few minutes you’ll discover why Prairie’s low-profile wells could become the high-octane answer to America’s looming power crunch — and why early investors stand to benefit most as the lights (and servers) stay on.

The Perfect Storm Nobody’s Pricing In

1 | AI’S INSATIABLE POWER HUNGER

Goldman Sachs says global data-center power use will rocket 165% by 2030[5]— the biggest grid shock in a century. Servers don’t run on wind; they run on hydrocarbons. Every new megawatt tightens crude supply — exactly the liquids Prairie pumps today.

2 | BLACKOUT RISK GOES EXPONENTIAL

A brand-new DOE reliability report warns that, without fast new firm capacity, U.S. blackout frequency could jump 100× by 2030[6]. Utilities are scrambling for fuel-sure supply; policymakers are begging for it. Prairie’s oily DJ-Basin barrels — delivered into existing takeaway lines — arrive exactly when the grid needs them most.

3 | THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE IS RUNNING ON FUMES

After record drawdowns, the SPR is stuck near 403 million barrels — its lowest level in forty years — and Congress just slashed refill funds by 87%.[7] With America’s safety valve drained, any supply hiccup can light a fuse under prices. That hands nimble, low-cost drillers like Prairie an outsized pricing tailwind.

4 | POLICY & OPEC KEEP THE MARKET TIGHT

Eight OPEC+ members have extended 3.7 million barrels per day of voluntary cuts all the way to 2026 [8]— and the new U.S. National Energy Dominance Council[9] is fast-tracking domestic oil permits to offset the shortfall. Prairie already holds 150+ DJ wells fully permitted, letting it sprint while slower peers wait in line.

Why This Matters for You

When massive, unavoidable demand meets structurally tight supply, prices don’t just drift — they gap higher. Prairie Operating Co. (NASDAQ: PROP) has:

• Multiplied production 10× in one deal[10] — timing couldn’t be better.
• Locked in $68-oil cash flow through 2027[11], insulating downside.
• $1 billion in untapped credit to keep drilling while competitors tap out.[12]

That combination of timing, scale and financial certainty is rare in a small-cap — and it’s exactly what turns early-stage investors into headline success stories.

Top 8 Reasons Prairie Operating Co. (NASDAQ: PROP) Could Be Oil’s Next
Break-Out Winner

1. A Perfect Storm for Higher Prices.
   AI data-center demand is set to rocket 165% by 2030[13] while the Strategic Petroleum Reserve sits at a 40-year low[14] and OPEC+ is still holding back ≈5% of global supply[15]. Bottom line: the world needs new, low-cost barrels—exactly what Prairie is pumping.
2. Production Just Leapt Ten-Fold.
   A $602 million deal[16] with Bayswater boosted output by ~25,700 BOE/d and added 77.9 MMBOE of proved reserves—transforming Prairie from micro-producer to full-fledged operator overnight.
3. More Near-Term Growth Is Already Drilled.
   Nine Opal Coalbank wells come online Aug 2025[17]; the 11-well Rusch Pad follows in Q4 2025[18]. A July bolt-on adds 40 ready-to-spud sites[19] — all without new shares.
4. Cash Flow Locked at $68 Oil.
   Prairie hedged roughly 85% of 2025 volumes at $68.27 WTI (and similar gas prices) and extended price protection into 2028—securing margins while many peers float with the market.
5. Ultra-Low Cost Advantage.
   DJ Basin wells run about $490 per lateral foot and operating costs average ≈$6.15/BOE. Management pegs the breakeven oil price below $38, giving Prairie cushion—and profit—no matter where crude trades next.
6. $1 Billion Credit Line, Minimal Leverage.
   Citibank and a blue-chip syndicate reaffirmed a $475 MM borrowing base and a $1B facility through 2029[20]. Pro-forma net debt sits near 1× EBITDA, leaving plenty of firepower for the next pad.
7. Decade-Long Inventory, Permits in Hand.
   ~60,000 net acres, 550 + economic drilling locations[21], and 150 + wells already permitted in rural Weld County give Prairie a clear runway for double-digit growth through at least 2033.
8. A Team (and Valuation) Built for Upside.
   CEO Ed Kovalik and President Gary Hanna have previously grown and exited billion-dollar E&Ps. Today investors can buy Prairie at < 0.7× its proved PV-10 value, with insiders holding significant stakes alongside shareholders.

Who’s Running the Show?
The Repeat-Exit Team Behind PROP

Ed Kovalik, CEO & Chairman – Former investment-banker-turned-operator. Built KLR Energy’s SPAC into Rosehill Resources, then steered multiple shale roll-ups worth hundreds of millions.

Gary Hanna, President – Forty-year E&P veteran who took EPL Oil & Gas from rehab to a $2.4 billion cash sale in 2014.

Greg Patton, CFO – Ex-Great Western Petroleum finance lead; knows DJ-Basin balance sheets inside-out.

Bryan Freeman, EVP Operations – Ran SM Energy’s Eagle Ford team and pioneered electric-rig drilling that cuts fuel use and costs.

Insider alignment: management and directors hold a meaningful personal stake—they win only when shareholders do.

Balance-Sheet Muscle & Firepower

• $1 billion reserve-based credit facility led by Citibank, joined by BofA and five other majors. Borrowing base reaffirmed at $475 million (matures 2029).
• Net debt ≈ 1× EBITDA after the Bayswater acquisition—among the lowest in the small-cap peer set.
• Hedge book = cash machine: 85% of 2025 barrels locked at $68.27 WTI / $4.28 gas; 2026-Q1’28 volumes fixed near $64 / $4.
• Translation: operating cash funds the rigs, the bank line funds opportunistic deals—no dilution required.

Near-Term Catalyst Timeline

Date	What Happens	Why It Matters
Aug 2025	First oil from 9 Opal Coalbank DUC wells	Adds ≈2,500 BOE/d of cash-flowing production.
Sep 2025	Edge Energy “Simpson” pad spuds (fully permitted)	Begins converting July bolt-on acreage into revenue—no new equity needed.
Q4 2025	11-well Rusch Pad hits peak rates	Management targets +8-10 k BOE/d step-up; drives 2025 exit-rate guidance.
2026	Hedged cash + scale drop UNIT costs	Breakeven oil price projected below $38, widening margin vs peers.

Proof It Happens Here – DJ-Basin Success Stories

Case Study #1: PDC Energy: $6 Stock to $72 Chevron Take-Out (2023)

Back in 2016, PDC Energy still traded in the single digits and pumped a modest 55k BOE/d out of Weld County. Management kept its head down, drilling long laterals, tightening costs, and scooping up bolt-on acreage while Wall Street ignored the DJ.

By 2020 cash flow was surging, and the company used that firepower to pay down debt and repurchase stock. The snowball kept rolling until June 2023, when Chevron wrote a $7.6 billion[22] all-stock check to fold PDC into its Rockies portfolio—paying shareholders a 630% return from those early DJ days.

Case Study #2: SRC Energy: Quiet Roll-Up → $1.7 B Merger with Civitas (2020)

SRC Energy began as a tiny Niobrara explorer with barely 10,000 barrels a day, but it amassed rural drill spacing units at bargain prices during the 2015 downturn. By standardizing pad designs and slashing operating costs, SRC doubled volumes without breaking the bank.

When investors finally noticed, its valuation rerated, giving the company equity currency to pursue larger deals.

The payoff arrived in January 2020: Civitas (then named Bonanza Creek) agreed to a $1.7 billion[23], all-stock merger, instantly turning SRC’s low-profile acreage into a cornerstone asset inside Colorado’s new DJ super-independent. 

Case Study #3: Extraction Oil & Gas: From Chapter 11 to 4× Share Price and a Premium Exit (2021)

Extraction hit the wall in 2020’s price crash and entered Chapter 11. But its DJ inventory was so economic that, once restructured, new management restarted drilling, shrinking well costs to the $5-6/BOE range and hedging production at lucrative strip prices—sound familiar?

Within twelve months the post-reorg shares had quadrupled as cash flow roared back. The rebound culminated in October 2021, when Civitas swooped again, paying a healthy premium[24] to roll Extraction into its expanding DJ empire. Investors who bought the “distressed” DJ story walked away with multi-bagger gains.

What it means for Prairie Operating Co. (NASDAQ: PROP):

Each of these companies began as a lightly followed DJ operator, mastered low-cost drilling, and leveraged timing to sell at eye-watering multiples. Prairie now controls comparable geology, but at an even earlier valuation—and with its production and hedge book already in place.

Ares Strategic Mining (TSX.V: ARS, OTC: ARSMF) is Developing the Only Permitted and Producing Fluorspar Mine in the United States, offering a Much-Needed Domestic Source for This Strategic Mineral

You may not realize this, but you probably use Fluorspar everyday, and that’s what makes this such an exciting opportunity. Fluorspar is a part of so many things we use in our everyday lives, we wanted to put together a small list for you here just to get a grasp of how big this has the potential to be from the ONLY permitted and producing Fluorspar mine in the U.S.A., Ares Strategic Mining (TSX.V: ARS, OTC: ARSMF)

Let’s get started:

The United States is heavily reliant on imports of certain mineral commodities that are vital to the Nation’s security and economic prosperity. This dependency on foreign sources creates a strategic vulnerability for both its economy and military to adverse foreign government action, natural disaster, and other events that can disrupt supply of these key minerals. In 2018 the U.S. government classified 35 mineral commodities deemed critical and included “Fluorspar”. This is largely due to the fact that China is by far the largest producer and supplier of this rare mineral “Fluospar”.

• Lithium Batteries
• Solar Panels
• Refrigerants
• Air Conditioning
• Computer Equipment
• Communication Equipment
• Electronics
• Nuclear Power
• Aerospace
• Aluminum
• Steel
• Flame Retardant Apparel
• Housewares
• Specialty Coatings
• Fire Extinguishing
• High Performance Materials

As of right now, China has stronghold on Fluorspar production and supply which, Ares Strategic Mining (TSX.V: ARS, OTC: ARSMF) aims to change as the ONLY PRODUCING FLUORSPAR MINE IN THE U.S.A. In 2018, the US Government declared Fluorspar a strategic and critical material in the United States. The mineral qualifies as a critical mineral because it has been identified as a mineral material that is essential to the economic and national security of the United States, the absence of which would have significant consequences for the economy or national security.

Fluorspar – What You need to know!

Fluorspar is so rare and important to the U.S.A. that it is classified as a Strategic Mineral by not only the USA, but China and the European Union. The fluorspar downstream product value is greater than $112 billion worldwide annually.

Fluorspar – also known as fluorite or technically referred to as calcium fluoride (CaF2) – is difficult to source and the major producing regions are all outside of the US including China, Mexico, Mongolia/CIS and South Africa.

The government designation has set a mandate for the US to begin producing Fluorspar and at the same time paved the path for US mining companies who can provide a domestic source for the material. We’ve uncovered just such a company.

Enter Ares Strategic Mining (TSX.V: ARS, OTC: ARSMF) with a Domestic Solution

Ares Strategic Mining is a junior natural resource mining company focused on bringing active domestic US Fluorspar into production within the next twelve months. Its efforts are based on the growing market for Fluorspar as a strategic mineral.

While it has many applications, possibly the most important application of Acidspar (a higher grade version of Fluorspar) is its use in creating hydrofluoric acid for refrigerants, pharmaceuticals and electronics, and a vital element in lithium-ion battery production.

The lithium-ion battery revolution is powering the Electric Vehicle (EV) revolution that is now underway around the globe. While much attention has been given to lithium and cobalt supplies used in production of lithium batteries, fluorspar remains one of the highly overlooked, strategically important minerals.

Why Fluorspar Is a Strategic Material

https://youtu.be/J5fUpqSkIqk

There are two principal commercial grades of fluorspar (CaF2) produced worldwide:

• Metallurgical spar which is graded from 60% to 96% purity and currently valued at about US$325 per metric ton.

• Acid-spar which is graded over 97% purity with a current market value of about US$575 per metric ton.

The metallurgical grade fluorspar or metspar accounts for approximately 35-40% of total fluorspar production with principal applications in steel production as a flux to lower the melting temperature and to help the absorption and removal of Sulphur, phosphorus, carbon and other impurities in the slag, as well as in cement to speed up the calcination process.

Acid grade fluorspar or Acidspar accounts for approximately 60-65% of total fluorspar production with the principal applications of aluminum production, the manufacture of hydrofluoric acid (HF) – the primary source of all fluorochemicals (the single largest consumer of fluorspar), used in fluorocarbons for refrigerant gases, propellants, electrical and electronic appliances, lithium batteries, pharmaceuticals, polymers and agrochemicals and as a petrochemical catalyst.

The major consuming regions for Fluorspar are China, North America, Europe, Mexico and Russia. However, in 2020, there aren’t any producing Fluorspar mines in the US, which means American aluminium and steel producers, refrigeration manufactures, and cement producers, all have to import all Fluorspar from Mexico, Vietnam and elsewhere.

Between 2014 and 2017, the US import sources were:

• Mexico – 69%
• Vietnam – 10%
• South Africa – 8%
• China – 6%, and
• Other 7%

This unusual turn of events has set into motion a real and serious need for strategically located sources for US Fluorspar.

The Market for Fluorspar

The global Fluorspar Acid Grade market size was USD 1531.6 million, and it is expected to reach USD 2800.1 million by the end of 2026, with a CAGR of 8.9% during 2021-2026. *

A Strategic Move to Acquire Assets in Utah

Ares has identified over 60 fluorspar mining targets across its claims. When historic average tonnages for each target are applied, the Company is able to project a mine life of more than 30 years

Based in Juab County, Western Utah, the Lost Sheep Property offers an incredibly rich grade of Fluorspar. The site offers the highest naturally occurring fluorspar-grade in the US and is accepted by the industry, even in an unprocessed form. Moreover, this mine can produce Fluorspar at a significantly reduced cost compared to any import.

Fluorspar imported from Mexico contains arsenic, but the manufacturing industry has no choice but to purchase it. The product at the Lost Sheep Mine contains no sulphides or arsenic.

With a large domestic market already available, this mine is positioned optimally to become an integral part of the supply chain as the only fluorspar producer in the United States.

Ares’ Lost Sheep Mine: Fully Permitted and On a Fast-track to Production

The Lost Sheep Mine has excellent access and infrastructure, situated approximately 214 km south-west of Salt Lake City with a paved highway to the property, as well as an extensive network of access roads to the entire Consolidated Claims District. There is already a railway for delivery attached to the warehouse, as well as a local population that will relish the labor opportunity.

As mentioned above, Ares Strategic Mining (TSX.V: ARS, OTC: ARSMF) is the ONLY PRODUCING FLUORSPAR MINE IN THE ENTIRE U.S.A.

The well-respected engineering firm P&E Mining Consultants Inc. will create the design of the mine with a scope including an underground mine based on 3D Wireframes Solids, Grade Capping and Compositing. The plan will pursue expansion of the mine’s capacity and an increase in production levels. P&E will also produce economic models, determine cut-off grades, and establish optimum mining methods.

After having completed the delineation drilling, Lidar, and metallurgical work, Ares Strategic Mining is now ready for the next stages of development which precede mining and production. Once this stage is complete, they will have the methodology, models, mining techniques, and plans in place to exploit the mine and fluorspar deposits.

Report Data Supports Ares Strategic Mining’s Plans

A recent NI 43-101 report confirms Fluorspar grades averaging 87% at the Lost Sheep site, which is higher than the industrially processed grades coming from Mexico and Vietnam. Keep in mind that typical fluorspar mines only have grades of 5% – 30% purity. The mine will also require a very low start-up capital and investment in return for a significant boost in production.

Here’s what makes this Lost Sheep Mine so timely:

• Profit can be achieved within several months of commencing operations
• Revenues will be substantially higher once Acidspar production begins
• Lost Sheep’s low production costs will make it the most competitive supplier in the US, compared to foreign producers

In order to speed up its efforts, Ares closed a private placement of approximately $1.18 million. That follows an earlier private placement that closed in February which raised $1.97 million for the exploration activities, engineering, and exploration activities at the mine. This puts Ares in a strong position to kick off its efforts.

A proposed expansion plan can be completed within four months and involves setting up a plant to manage:

• Production of metspar and Acidspar
• Upgrade current deposits of discarded, low-grade fluorspar via equipment upgrades and raising selling price from $325/t to $520/t
• Increase revenue and margin
• Modern and efficient processing

A Two-Phase Track to Production and Revenue

Ares Strategic Mining has a very straightforward plan to put the Lost Sheep Mine into production in a rapid time frame. They plan to begin producing the more available metspar to create immediate revenue from the mine and then quickly scale up production and refining capabilities to start producing higher value Acidspar immediately following.

The company has top-notch mining expertise and mine development being coordinated with highly respected contractors and partners. It has already negotiated and signed offtake agreements (the agreement to buy products as soon as it becomes available) with major partners abroad.

All in, this set of circumstances puts Ares Strategic Mining in the rare position to enter production with a much-needed mineral with a ready market – all in a relatively short timeframe – to go to market. There are very few domestic strategic mineral plays on the radar right now, but as the intense international climate escalates, Ares Strategic Mining is rising to the top of the list.

10 Solid Reasons to Consider Ares Strategic Mining (TSX.V: ARS, OTC: ARSMF) Right Now

1. The United States has designated fluorspar a Strategic Mineral as of 2018.
2. North America and Europe are the largest acid-spar consumers outside China, all net importers, creating a potential risk to long term security of supply.
3. Ares Strategic Mining holds the only permitted and producing fluorspar mine in the United States, with no others currently scheduled to open.
4. Ares’ Lost Sheep mine holds the highest naturally occurring fluorspar-grade in the US with no contamination from sulphides or arsenic.

Rua Gold (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) now controls 95% of New Zealand’s storied Reefton Goldfield, where past explorers hit ultra-high grades. Backed by a team with $11B+ in mining exits, Rua is drilling high-grade gold and critical antimony targets across 120,000 hectares.

Gold is surging to record highs and central banks are hoarding bullion by the ton—pushing forecasts towards $4,000 per ounce.[1]

And this +$3,000 Gold Market Is Brewing a Hidden Opportunity…[2]

As this gold run progresses, investors have been chasing the next breakout gold junior.

Rua Gold (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) just became one to watch.

The company now controls 95%[3] of New Zealand’s Reefton Goldfield—an area that historically produced more than 2 million ounces of high-grade gold between 9 and 50 grams per tonne.[4]

With three drills turning, early results are already showing serious upside:

• 12 metres at 12.2 g/t gold equivalent, including 2 metres at 54.8 g/t[5]
• Visible high-grade gold (and antimony) in drilled at Murray Creek[6]
• Historic intercept of 1 metre at 1,911 g/t gold is now being followed up[7]

That alone might turn heads.

 

But Rua Gold also holds what could be New Zealand’s largest known antimony deposit[8]—a newly declared critical mineral by the NZ government[9].

Prices for antimony have more than tripled[10], and Rua’s already pulled assays with 1.35% Sb and 27 g/t gold from the same core.[11]

And this is just from their South Island project.

Up north, their Glamorgan Project sits next door to OceanaGold’s 1.4-million-ounce WKP deposit.

Soil anomalies stretch for kilometres. Rock samples show grades up to 43 g/t gold.[12] Drilling prep is underway.

This is a tightly held, newly consolidated district-scale story, with a team that’s already built and exited billion-dollar mines—a combined $11 BILLION in value created to date.[13]

With fresh funding and multiple rigs turning, Rua Gold may be drilling its way into the spotlight in 2025.

ISSUED ON BEHALF OF SAFETY SHOT INC.

Safety Shot (NASDAQ: SHOT) just launched the world’s first patented drink proven to lower blood alcohol in 30 minutes. Led by the co-founder of LifeLock, SHOT is expanding in retail, acquiring a $12M brand, and spinning off a bonus stock for shareholders.

 

A small-cap company has quietly launched what could be one of the most disruptive wellness products in years — and it’s not another CBD oil or vitamin water.

This time, it’s a clinically backed beverage that can reduce blood alcohol content in just 30 minutes.

It’s patent-protected. It’s peer-reviewed. It’s already landed in hundreds of major retail stores — and sold out on Amazon.

And now, the company behind it is entering rapid growth mode — with 50% quarterly revenue acceleration[1], a brand-new acquisition adding $12M in annual sales, and a shareholder-friendly spin-off coming this year.

If you’re looking for a ground-floor story in the exploding $6B+ functional beverage space…

You may want to look closer at Safety Shot, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOT).

---

Sure Shot isn’t just another rehydration drink. It’s the first patented product proven in a human clinical trial to reduce blood alcohol concentration (BAC) fast. Faster than your liver can do it on its own. It’s already sold out multiple times online.

Now it’s heading into stores across the U.S.

You’re not looking at a supplement story. You’re looking at a potential new category.

And the company behind it? Already public. Already growing. Already moving on its next big play.

The company: Safety Shot, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOT)

What the company makes

SHOT developed Sure Shot, a drink that reduces BAC and eases post-alcohol symptoms. A peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Dietary Supplements confirmed it works[2].

Participants reported lower BAC, improved mood and clarity, and fewer post-alcohol effects — all within 30 minutes. Read the study.

This isn’t a theory. The clinical trial used blood tests, breath tests, and blind placebo controls. The results held up.

Where it’s selling

SHOT launched Sure Shot on Amazon in November 2023. It sold out in hours.

Their own e-commerce site repeated the pattern in early 2024. Now they’ve moved into national retail[3]:

• 300+ 7-Eleven stores in the Chicago area
• A Midwestern grocery chain with 285 stores
• Walmart.com and one of the largest U.S. big-box e-commerce platforms
• More on the expansion

The company also launched on-the-go stick packs to cut production costs and reach new retail categories. Stick pack launch

Growth and revenue

• SHOT expects Q4 2024 revenue to grow 50% over Q3[4]
• That’s off the back of its rebrand, retail expansion, and rising demand
• The company is building a wholesale channel with distributors, bars, and restaurants

Acquiring more revenue

In January, SHOT signed a deal to acquire Yerbaé Brands Corp, a plant-based energy drink maker with $12 million in annual sales[5]. Yerbaé brings U.S. and Canadian distribution, retail relationships, and proven production scale. 

A spin-off for shareholders

SHOT spun off its legacy Jupiter Wellness business into a new company called Caring Brands, Inc. Investors of record on April 7, 2025 received one share of Caring Brands stock for every 45 shares of SHOT they held. [6]

Why investors are watching SHOT

• First-mover in a verified alcohol-reduction product
• Real retail shelf space and growing distribution
• Peer-reviewed human trial results

Issued on behalf of Lake Victoria Gold Ltd.

With production potentially as soon as 12 months away, Barrick and Tanzania’s richest man already onboard, discovery-scale exploration upside, and no cheap paper, Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) may be the next East African gold breakout story.

Gold is moving, and not like usual. This time is different.

It’s hitting new all-time highs; recently blasting through $3,000 per ounce, for the first time ever[1]… And it’s not done climbing.

Experts in the sector are pointing towards the “very sharp, steep trajectory” at which central banks are buying up gold bullion—and predicting the result will be $4,000-per-ounce gold, or more.[2]

These central banks know something retail investors are just starting to figure out:

We’re not just in a gold bull market. We’re in a gold reshuffling.

And when normally gold’s role as a safe haven follows US dollar volatility, this time things are a bit different.

BOTH the US dollar and gold are rising on current geopolitical risks[3]

This is rare. Incredibly rare.

It’s also a signal that investors—especially critical thinking ones—are repositioning.

But here’s the part many retail investors miss:

The real upside isn’t in bullion. It’s in the equities.

Specifically, the right kind of gold stock.

Not a bloated large-cap with flat production.
Not a flaky exploration flyer with no cash.

But a small-cap company on the edge of a major shift.

One that’s moving from explorer… to producer.

When the valuation floor rises, and investors who got in early don’t just get upside… They get leverage.

In this report we believe we’ve identified the perfect candidate.

Lake Victoria Gold (LVG) (TSXV:LVG) (OTCQB:LVGLF)

 

Lake Victoria Gold (LVG) (TSXV:LVG) (OTCQB:LVGLF) isn’t on most radars. That’s NOT by accident.

It’s been quietly positioning for over a year.

Securing permits, finalizing partnerships, and locking in a rare capital structure that leaves nothing on the table for paper flippers.

And now with funding commitments in place, construction is about to start, and first gold production is potentially less than 12 months away.

Seriously.

If you want to see a vote of confidence in this plan, look no further than the world’s second largest gold miner (Barrick Gold) that’s already on the cap table. So is the most powerful businessman in the country it operates in.

And yet, despite these two parties having infinitely more resources to perform due diligence in the project, this company still trades below where both of them bought in.

This is the kind of setup smart money looks for: Right before a junior becomes a producer, and more importantly… right before the rest of the market catches up.

In this special report, we’re going to break it all down.

You’ll see why Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV:LVG) (OTCQB:LVGLF)  may be the next TRX Gold.

How its strategic position in East Africa could drive a full rerate.
And why Barrick Gold may already have a bigger plan in mind.

If you’ve been looking for a real gold story in a real bull market… This is the one to watch.

Scroll down for the full breakdown, on why NOW is the perfect time for LVG to begin its breakout story.

Top 7 Reasons to Put Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV:LVG) (OTCQB:LVGLF) on Your Radar TODAY 

1. Production Is Potentially Less Than 12 Months Away

• Flagship asset Imwelo is fully permitted and construction underway.
• A 10-year mining license is secured.
• The water tank is built.
• A deposit on the ball mill has been made.
• And a term sheet signed for 7,000-ounce gold pre-pay deal has the project nearly fully funded.

2. Backed by the Most Powerful Man in Tanzanian Mining

• Rostam Aziz—Tanzania’s richest man—isn’t just investing.
• His company, Taifa Mining, is the principal mining contractor to the mine.
• They’re the go-to partner for AngloGold, De Beers, Petra… and Barrick.
• This is the highest level of local support a mine can get.

3. Barrick Is Already a Shareholder

• The world’s #2 gold producer owns 5.5 million shares of LVG.
• They bought in at $0.27 per share.
• They’re also exploring right next door at Bulyanhulu.
• LVG still holds up to $45 million in contingent payments if Barrick hits on sold ground.

4. Tembo Adds Pure Exploration Torque

• Located directly adjacent to a 20-million-ounce Tier 1 gold mine.
• Over 50,000 meters of drilling with standout results like 22.18 g/t over 15m (Ngula 1), 78.1 g/t over 1.00m (Nyakagwe Village) and 25.00 g/t over 0.42m within 8.44 g/t over 1.30m (Nyakagwe East).
• Represents a second vector of upside—discovery potential alongside production.
• With the majors already watching next door, Tembo could become a highly strategic asset.

5. A Share Structure Built for a Rerate

• No warrants.
• No cheap paper.
• Over 80% of shares are held by insiders, partners, and long-term hands.
• Management owns stock and built the cap table to reward execution—not hype.

6. Tanzania Is the New Epicenter for African Gold

• West Africa is getting riskier.
• East Africa, especially Tanzania, is attracting the majors.
• The country has 60 years of stable democracy, English common law, and pro-mining policies.
• TRX Gold proved it’s possible to go from zero to cash flow here. LVG is next.

7. Nobody’s Watching—Yet

• LVG intentionally stayed quiet while locking down permits and financing.
• Now, it’s ready to move.
• Barrick and Taifa are already in.
• Gold is over $3,000.
• And this stock is still flying below the radar.

A Rare, Undiscovered Gold Producer in the Making

Until now Lake Victoria Gold has made a conscious decision to stay quiet while it handled the real work, such as securing permits, landing high-level partners, negotiating major financing, and de-risking the project… step by step.

They weren’t chasing newsletter hype. They were building.
And now, that quiet phase is officially over.

LVG is moving forward—with construction started and production in sight. This isn’t just another junior hoping to raise more money. It’s one of the rare few actually becoming a gold producer.

And that’s where this story shifts from speculation… to execution.

In fact, LVG looks a lot like TRX Gold did in its early days. TRX proved it was possible to build a mine in Tanzania, pour gold, and re-rate from a microcap to over $300 million in market cap. It went from sub-$0.20 to over $1.30 a share.

TRX built its production base just 20 kilometers south of LVG.

They followed the same open pit to underground plan. They moved fast, executed cleanly, and attracted major attention.

But here’s where LVG has a clear edge: Its share structure is tighter; Its insider ownership is stronger;  And its partners may be even more powerful.

Where TRX showed what was possible… LVG is now showing what’s next.

Why East Africa Is the New Epicenter of African Gold

For decades, West Africa was the hotbed for gold investment—Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire. But lately, something’s shifted.

A wave of political instability and military coups has made West Africa harder to justify for institutional capital. ESG concerns, resource nationalism, and safety risks are climbing.

Majors are quietly repositioning. And East Africa is emerging as the next chapter. At the center of that shift is Tanzania.

Tanzania: A Stable, Pro-Mining Nation

Tanzania has more than 60 years of peaceful democratic governance, follows English common law, and is quickly becoming one of the most mining-friendly regimes in Africa.

The country is making an aggressive push to grow its gold sector, and Barrick Gold’s over US$4 billion in contributions to Tanzania’s economy continue to contribute to the story.[4]

And the results are showing.

The Majors Are All In

Barrick Gold has designated Tanzania as home to its flagship “Tier 1” assets.
Its Bulyanhulu and North Mara mines are two of the highest-grade gold producers in the region.

In 2023 alone, Barrick invested over $600 million in Tanzania.

AngloGold Ashanti is expanding its footprint in the country. So are smaller producers like Shanta Gold and TRX Gold.

Why?

Because Tanzania’s geology is vastly underexplored. Its greenstone belts are the same age and type as West Africa’s—but have seen only a fraction of the drilling.

This is true “elephant country,” and the herd is still largely hidden.

TRX Gold Proved It’s Possible

TRX Gold, just 20 kilometers south of Lake Victoria Gold, showed that it’s possible to go from junior to producer right here. Its Buckreef project is now pouring gold.

The stock re-rated as it hit key milestones—without needing to exit the country or change jurisdictions. Investors took notice.

Now the question isn’t whether East Africa can deliver gold… It’s which company will be next.

Why This Matters for LVG

Lake Victoria Gold is next in line. Its Imwelo and Tembo projects sit right in the heart of the Lake Victoria Goldfields.

It’s adjacent to Barrick, strategically backed by Taifa Mining, and advancing fast.

Imwelo — Fully Permitted, Shovel-Ready, Cash Flow potentially  in 12 Months

Some gold juniors are still trying to get permits—Lake Victoria Gold already has one.

The Imwelo project is fully permitted. A 10-year mining license was granted by the Tanzanian government late last year.[5]

Construction has already started. A 300,000-liter water tank is built. Site infrastructure is underway. The long-lead ball mill has been secured and is being refurbished.[6]

Imwelo isn’t just drill holes on paper.
It’s a mine in progress.

 

Historical Resource Estimate: 291,600 Ounces

The Imwelo project benefits from significant prior investment. Two earlier pre-feasibility studies were completed under JORC compliant Australian operators.

That work outlined a historical mineral resource of 291,600 ounces of gold across measured, indicated, and inferred categories.

🚨 KEY WORD: HISTORICAL 🚨

Here’s the compliant language:
This estimate is considered historical in nature and does not conform to the standards required by National Instrument 43-101. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Investors should not rely on this estimate for investment decisions.

Okay, so now that we’ve addressed that, Lake Victoria Gold is now taking the steps to validate and expand this work. The current updated drilling campaign is designed to bring the resource into current modern-day COMPLIANCE, and unlock the next phase of mine planning and economic modeling.

Potential Transition From Dirt to Gold in 12 Months

The full construction timeline is expected to take about one year, and the countdown has already started.

The contractor is in place. Site activity is underway. This is not a 5-year dream.
Imwelo is on track to be built.

And it may be pouring its first gold in twelve months, with commissioning scheduled in May 2026.

---

BLUE SKY BONUS: Tembo — The Hidden Giant with Discovery-Scale Potential

While Imwelo is the near-term production engine for Lake Victoria Gold, Tembo represents the blue-sky upside.

In Swahili, “Tembo” means elephant, and that’s what LVG is still looking for… the ELEPHANT.

And with Imwelo underway, this elephant hunt will be underpinned by the solid foundation of cash flow along the way.

Located directly adjacent to the 20-million-ounce Bulyanhulu Mine, Tembo sits on the same prolific gold-bearing structures—and the geology doesn’t stop at the fence line.

The project has over 50,000 meters of historical drilling, with standout intercepts including:

• 18 g/t Au over 15.00m (Ngula 1 Target)
• 1 g/t Au over 1.00m (Nyakagwe Village Target)
• 25.00 g/t Au over 0.42m within 8.44 g/t over 1.30m (Nyakagwe East Target)

These are not speculative targets. They are high-grade zones that remain open at depth and along strike.

Tembo delivers the exploration firepower that most producers lack—giving LVG a powerful dual-path story:

Imwelo for potential near-term cash flow

Tembo for long-term resource expansion and optionality

And with Barrick operating just next door, the upside includes more than just drill results—it includes strategic optionality and potential corporate interest.

LVG is not just building a mine. It’s staking a long-term position in one of the most prospective gold corridors in East Africa.

---

Unique Financing Model — Fully Funded Without Toxic Dilution

What’s one of the biggest risks in junior mining? Dilution.

Far too often, juniors use the same strategy: Raise capital. Issue cheap shares. Repeat.

It destroys value for long-term investors.

But Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV:LVG) (OTCQB:LVGLF) did things differently.

Taifa Stepped In with an Up-To C$11.5M Investment[7]

Not a single massive lump sum. But a three-tranche strategic investment based on clear project milestones.[8]

This structure keeps the project funded and on track—without flooding the market with cheap paper.

Then Came the Gold Loan

Lake Victoria Gold signed a Non-Binding Term Sheet with Monetary Metals, a bullion-backed finance firm. Under the agreement, LVG can borrow up-to 7,000 ounces of gold to fund construction.[9]

Instead of fiat debt, investors lend bullion directly. The company repays in gold, after production begins.

It’s a rare model—non-dilutive and fully aligned with gold bulls. It’s brilliant, and surprising that more companies aren’t already doing this.

Now Nearly Fully Funded

Between the Taifa investment, the Monetary Metals gold loan….

Lake Victoria Gold is positioned as essentially funded for construction of the Imwelo mine.

No toxic convertibles. No predatory warrants. No endless private placements.

A Clean, Investor-First Structure

There are zero warrants outstanding. No legacy seed paper.

Approximately 80% of shares are in strong hands—held by management, insiders, and long-term aligned investors.

The stock is trading in the $0.16 to $0.18 range.

That’s below Taifa’s entry price of $0.22, and well below Barrick’s $0.27 buy-in.

This isn’t a trade… It’s a setup.

The kind that serious investors look for—Before the rerate begins.

The Barrick Angle — And Why This Looks Like a Classic Takeout Setup

Barrick Gold doesn’t take passive positions. When they write a check, they have a reason.

They now own 5.5 million shares of Lake Victoria Gold, bought at $0.27 per share.[10]

That’s above the current market price… And well above where most retail investors can buy in today.

Tembo Sits Right Next Door to Bulyanhulu

This isn’t metaphorical proximity.

The Tembo project shares a literal border with Barrick’s Bulyanhulu Mine—a 20-million-ounce deposit and one of the highest-grade gold mines in the world.

The geology continues across the fence line. And the trend that made Buly famous cuts straight into Tembo.

That makes Tembo the most obvious bolt-on acquisition candidate in the region.

And Barrick’s Already Exploring the Ground

In 2022, Lake Victoria Gold sold six licenses to Barrick.

In return, Barrick agreed to fund up to US$9 million in exploration and pay up to US$45 million in contingent payments based on new discoveries.[11]

The earnout works on a sliding scale:

• $20/oz for the first million ounces
• $10/oz for the second
• $5/oz for the next three million

That’s a long-term earn-in… and a strong incentive. LVG still owns the upside—without spending the drilling budget.

Barrick Doesn’t Waste Bullets

They’re the world’s top gold miner for a reason. They don’t gamble. They don’t take flyers.

And they don’t build relationships they don’t plan to grow.

They’ve picked their partner in this region. It’s Lake Victoria Gold.

And when you factor in that Rostam Aziz—Tanzania’s richest man and political insider—is helping build Imwelo? Then factor in the “have your cake and eat it too” element of discovery-scale potential from Tembo?

This starts to look a lot like a staged takeover.

A Setup That’s Hard to Ignore

• World-class asset next to Bulyanhulu
• Strategic earn-in with upside triggers
• Equity position already taken
• Shared history through team members
• Local buy-in at the highest level

If Lake Victoria Gold hits its milestones…
And Imwelo pours first gold as planned…
While Tembo provides the exploration upside…
There’s only one logical acquirer.
And they’re already on the cap table… Barrick Gold.

A Sector-Wide Opportunity That Few Are Watching Yet

When Lake Victoria Gold announced its acquisition of Imwelo back in late 2023…

Gold was trading around $2,000 an ounce. Today, it’s over $3,000.[12]

That’s a full $1,000/oz swing in the company’s favor.

And yet?

The stock is still trading under $0.20.

Meanwhile, M&A Activity Is Heating Up Across Africa

Major producers are racing to secure ounces in safer jurisdictions.
West Africa is bleeding capital due to rising political risk.
East Africa is now the smart-money move.

In just the past 18 months:

• BHP invested $100 million in Tanzania’s Kabanga Nickel Project
• Perseus Mining bought OreCorp for access the Nyanzaga gold project which began feasibility studies mid-2024[13]
• Barrick has invested $4.25 billion into Tanzania so far[14]

---

Key Takeaways for Investors

✅ Near-Term Production Potential Is Real
Imwelo is fully permitted with construction underway.
First gold is potentially expected in less than 12 months.

✅ Strategic Partnerships Are Locked In
Mining contracted to Taifa Mining, operated locally, and aligned with Barrick Gold.
Political, technical, and execution risks are dramatically reduced.

✅ A Clean Cap Table Built for Growth
No warrants. No free paper.
80% of shares held by insiders and long-term holders.

✅ Tanzania Is the New African Gold Hub
Capital is fleeing West Africa.
Tanzania is stable, pro-mining, and full of underexplored gold belts.

✅ Undervalued, Undiscovered, and Unfolding Fast
Still trading below Barrick’s and Taifa’s entry prices.
The market hasn’t caught on yet.

✅ Exploration Upside Could Drive the Next Rerate

Tembo sits beside a 20Moz Tier 1 mine and has returned high-grade hits in historical (non-43-101) drilling.
It gives LVG blue-sky potential—layered on top of its near-term production path.

Stay Ahead of the Market

Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV:LVG) (OTCQB:LVGLF) is executing quietly—for now.

But construction is underway, milestones are stacking up, exploration upside is planned, and when first gold is poured, the market will notice.

Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG | OTCQB: LVGLF) Is Prepping to Build Tanzania’s Next Gold Mine—And You Can Still Buy In Below What Barrick Paid

Still Under $0.20—And They’re Already Permitted to Build the Mine

This junior gold stock just pulled off the rarest move in the game:

It got permitted. It got funding commitments.

And it’s started the process towards building a gold mine in East Africa.

This isn’t another “high-potential” drill play. It’s BOTH a fully permitted, strategically backed, with construction already started, and a discovery-scale exploration upside play—positioned beside a 20-million-ounce deposit operated by a major.

First gold could potentially be poured in less than 12 months.

Insiders and key partners already hold 80% of the float.

And the stock is trading below where a massive global producer bought in ($0.27 per share) and where Tanzania’s most powerful mining billionaire closed on 16M shares ($0.22 per share).

Gold is breaking out. Retail hasn’t noticed. Yet.

A $3,000 Gold Market Is Brewing a Hidden Opportunity…[1]

While gold surges to record highs and central banks hoard bullion by the ton—pushing forecasts towards $4,000 per ounce[2]—capital is fleeing the risk zones of West Africa—and pouring into safer, stable, underexplored jurisdictions.

That’s where this story gets even more interesting…

West Africa is facing rising political risk, nationalizations, and security issues. The money is moving to safer ground.

Tanzania is the beneficiary. Stable government. English common law. Pro-mining policies.

Majors are already pivoting. Barrick Gold has made Tanzania a Tier 1 priority.

AngloGold and Perseus are expanding footprints.

Another East African junior gold play once ran from pennies to a $300 million peak valuation by moving into early production.

But it didn’t have this level of insider ownership… or the country’s top mining magnate building the mine.

This story looks similar—just with better partners, tighter structure, and no cheap paper to unwind.

---

Lake Victoria Gold: The Next One to Know

The Imwelo project is fully permitted. Construction is underway. And the first gold could be poured in under 12 months.

The mine is being supported by Taifa Mining (as the contract miner), Tanzania’s largest mining contractor, which is owned by the richest and most politically connected man in the country—who also just bought 16 million shares at $0.22.[3]

Barrick Gold already owns 5.5 million shares, and they bought at $0.27.

Today, you can still buy below what BOTH of them paid… for now.

---

What Makes LVG Different?

• ✅ Fully permitted and with construction started
• ✅ Funding Commitments in place (C$11.5M from Taifa + 7,000 oz gold forward sale)
• ✅ Clean cap table: no warrants, 80% held by insiders and partners
• ✅ Exploration upside beside Barrick’s Bulyanhulu

Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:AVAI), through its joint venture with Ainnova Tech, is advancing Vision AI—a clinical screening platform now on the FDA’s radar and already in deployment across Latin America and Asia.

Issued on behalf of Avant Technologies Inc.

Imagine a world where diseases are flagged before symptoms even appear. Where AI reads medical images in seconds, spots hidden risks, and helps doctors deliver treatment tailored to the individual.

That world isn’t coming—it’s already here. AI in healthcare is scaling fast, with projections calling for growth from $26 billion to more than $600 billion by 2034.[1] By 2035, analysts believe AI could add another $461 billion in value[2] to a healthcare industry already on track to surpass $2.26 trillion.

Big names like Google and Microsoft are moving in, transforming diagnostics, patient monitoring, and health data systems. [3]

But for all the buzz, many tools remain fragmented, expensive, or too narrow for real clinical impact. [4]

That’s why the edge now belongs to focused innovators—those solving the hardest problems with scalable, real-world solutions. These are the platforms making early detection routine, expanding access in underserved regions, and laying the groundwork for what may become the most consequential transformation in modern medicine.[5],[6]

Enter Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:AVAI), an emerging name in AI-driven healthcare, advancing the frontier of early disease detection through its Vision AI platform technology and its versatile retinal camera—already live in pilot programs and now moving toward its pre-submission meeting with the FDA in July for its planned clinical trial.

Backed by a joint venture with Ainnova Tech, Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:AVAI) is building more than a diagnostic tool…

It’s developing a scalable, secure ecosystem—integrating clinical AI, advanced infrastructure, and embedded cybersecurity—designed to operate across diverse healthcare systems and regulatory environments.

This two-track strategy—real-world deployments in emerging markets paired with a U.S. regulatory pathway—offers both proof of concept and future access to one of the most lucrative markets in healthcare

By addressing the core challenges of early diagnosis, data integrity, and scalable implementation, Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:AVAI) is helping shape a new category of applied AI—one grounded in clinical relevance, platform flexibility, and global reach.

Top 8 Reasons Why Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:AVAI) Stands Out in the AI Healthcare Landscape:

1. Positioned in a Multi-Billion Dollar Growth Megatrend
   The healthcare AI market is growing at an estimated 30–38% CAGR, with projections ranging from $187.7 billion by 2030 to $613.8 billion by 2034. By 2035, AI could add $461 billion in value to a global healthcare system already projected to exceed $2.26 trillion. Avant is strategically positioned within this long-term transformation—one that touches diagnostics, imaging, chronic disease, and more.

2. Real-World Deployments Already Underway
   Unlike many early-stage AI companies still in the prototype phase, Avant’s Vision AI platform is already active in multiple countries across Latin America. These live deployments are generating clinical data, expanding access, and validating the platform in real healthcare settings.
3. Clear Regulatory Path with FDA Engagement in Motion
   Avant and its partner Ainnova have submitted their pre-submission package to the FDA and secured a formal meeting date for July 2025. This milestone advances the company’s two-track strategy—deploy in fast-moving markets while building toward U.S. clearance under a 510(k) pathway.
4. Exclusive Licensing Rights Across Major Markets
   Through its joint venture with Ainnova Tech, Avant holds global commercialization rights for Vision AI, including the U.S., Canada, and Europe. A recent expansion deal broadened its license scope just ahead of critical FDA
5. Institutional Validation from Apollo Hospitals Partnership
   Avant’s partner Ainnova has aligned with Apollo Hospitals—Asia’s largest private hospital network. This collaboration adds both data-rich diagnostics (from over 2.3 million clinical cases) and strategic credibility across emerging healthcare ecosystems.
6. Two-Tiered Commercial Strategy: Global Pilots + U.S. Market Readiness
   Avant’s strategy bridges near-term market access with long-term regulatory progress. It’s deploying Vision AI where approvals move quickly, while simultaneously building toward FDA clearance, giving the company both speed and scale in its rollout
7. Targeting a Critical Gap in Preventive Care
   Vision AI addresses a growing global need: cost-effective, non-invasive early screening for conditions like diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, liver fibrosis, kidney disease, and type 2 diabetes. With over 1 billion people at risk for chronic conditions, tools like Vision AI could soon become essential across primary care and retail clinic settings.
8. Custom AI + Hardware Combo: Upgradable Retinal Camera System
   Unlike many AI diagnostic platforms that rely on third-party hardware, Vision AI is being paired with a proprietary, low-cost retinal camera designed for seamless integration.[7] This exclusive system allows for automated image capture, rapid uploads, and dynamic algorithm upgrades, giving providers a flexible tool that evolves with emerging clinical needs and disease targets. The combined software and hardware offering supports a SaaS-style rollout across clinics, opticians, pharmacies, and workplace health providers.

The Big Picture in AI Healthcare

AI is rapidly reshaping healthcare from the inside out—especially in early detection, diagnostics, and clinical decision-making.

Barclays estimates the sector is growing at 30% annually[8], while Grand View Research forecasts it will hit $187.7 billion by 2030.[9]

By 2035, AI is expected to unlock $461 billion in added value[10] across a healthcare system already projected to surpass $2.26 trillion.

For companies focused on diagnostic accuracy and real-time screening, the tailwinds are even stronger.

Precedence Research sees the total healthcare AI market reaching $613.8 billion by 2034,[11] driven by demand for scalable, non-invasive tools that can support earlier intervention and cost-effective triage.

AI-powered imaging and diagnostics are a major growth driver—set to exceed $7.3 billion by 2032, according to current forecasts.[12] These tools are gaining traction in both high-tech hospitals and decentralized clinics alike, offering speed, accessibility, and the potential to relieve pressure on overburdened healthcare systems.

Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:AVAI)  is building for this reality—developing a platform that combines scalable screening, regulatory readiness, and global market access in one system designed to meet the moment.

---

Avant’s Strategic Position in Healthcare AI

Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:AVAI) has emerged as one of the most strategically positioned small-cap players in the AI healthcare sector—combining global reach, regulatory momentum, and real-world deployment.

Through its joint venture with Ainnova Tech, Avant is advancing Vision AI, a non-invasive screening platform now operating in clinical pilot programs across Latin America[13] and India[14].

The system uses retinal scans and patient vitals to flag early signs of chronic conditions like diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, and liver or kidney disease—often before symptoms appear.

Unlike many early-stage AI ventures still in development, Avant has secured exclusive global licensing rights for Vision AI and has already filed its pre-submission package with the U.S. FDA. A formal meeting is scheduled for July 2025[15]—paving the way for potential market entry via the 510(k) pathway.

To strengthen its clinical footprint, Avant has also integrated four advanced diagnostic algorithms trained on more than 2.3 million patient cases through a strategic alliance with Apollo Hospitals, one of Asia’s largest healthcare providers.[16]

This two-pronged strategy—deploying in emerging markets while progressing through the U.S. regulatory pipeline—gives Avant a unique edge: it’s proving its technology in the field while building credibility with the world’s most influential regulators.

As AI transforms how healthcare is delivered, diagnosed, and scaled, Avant Technologies is carving out a distinct leadership lane—one grounded in practical tools, global accessibility, and long-term market relevance.

Rodrigo Herrera, CTO of Ainnova Tech, is a seasoned AI architect and professor of computer science specializing in medical imaging. He leads the technical development of Vision AI’s diagnostic algorithms, including the integration of models trained on over 2.3 million patient cases.

Supporting the clinical roadmap is a world-class medical advisory team, including Dr. Lihteh Wu and Dr. Maziar Lalezary, both renowned retina specialists with affiliations to institutions like UCLA, Vanderbilt, Mount Sinai, and Cedars-Sinai. Their real-world insight helps ensure Vision AI meets clinical expectations while maintaining diagnostic precision.

On the advisory side, the team benefits from industry veterans like Ian K. Gordon, former COO of BlueCross BlueShield North Carolina, and Marcus Dantus, a serial tech entrepreneur and lead investor on Shark Tank Mexico.

This combined leadership bench gives Avant and Ainnova a strategic advantage—one built not only on technology, but on regulatory depth, clinical alignment, and global execution.

ISSUED ON BEHALF OF ONCOLYTICS BIOTECH

Groundbreaking breast and pancreatic cancer data suggest Oncolytics Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC) is vastly undervalued—but not for long.

Every so often, a biotech company achieves clinical milestones that could redefine treatment paradigms, yet the market fails to react immediately.

For savvy investors, these moments offer a rare opportunity to get ahead of the curve—before the broader market wakes up.

That’s EXACTLY the scenario unfolding with Oncolytics Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC).

Recent Phase 2 BRACELET-1 results demonstrated a remarkable 76% estimated improvement in survival for HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients, and the company is making strides in pancreatic cancer with the PanCAN-funded GOBLET trial.

But here’s the twist: the stock still trades at just $0.90, despite analysts projecting a target of $4.85—a potential upside of over 400%.

In less than FIVE MINUTES, we’ll break down why this overlooked stock could be biotech’s next big success, with examples of how similar companies achieved explosive growth after hitting milestones.

Let’s explore why Oncolytics Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC) is poised to deliver massive gains.

WHAT Analysts Are Saying + WHY the Market Is Slow to Catch On

Currently trading at $0.82, Oncolytics Biotech Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC) presents a compelling opportunity with a 1-year analyst price target of $4.79, representing a potential upside of over 487%. According to data from Yahoo! Finance (taken on January 17, 2025)[1], analysts have issued 8 Buy ratings, including 5 Strong Buys, showcasing strong confidence in the company’s trajectory.

But here’s the surprising part: despite the remarkable results from Oncolytics’ BRACELET-1 Phase 2 trial, the market has yet to fully recognize the company’s potential.

Why hasn’t the market caught on yet?

Studies show that smaller biotech companies often experience delayed stock responses to breakthrough results. The big jumps in share price usually happen after significant milestones like regulatory approvals, pivotal Phase 3 data, or partnerships with major pharmaceutical players.

NOW… with Oncolytics progressing toward a registration-enabling study in metastatic breast cancer and advancing its pancreatic cancer program with funding from PanCAN, the stage is set for significant catalysts in 2025.

For investors, this lag in market reaction could be your window to act before the big move.

The analysts see it. The data supports it. And yet, the market hasn’t fully priced in the potential. This is the kind of opportunity that savvy investors dream of—where you can get in before the crowd and reap the rewards as the market finally catches up.

Time is ticking. Don’t let this chance pass you by.

WHAT the Market Missed in BRACELET-1’s Results:

1. The Data Was Overwhelmingly Positive, Not Marginal:
   • Median overall survival (OS) for pelareorep combined with paclitaxel wasn’t reached, meaning more than half of the patients were still alive at the end of the study. This represents significant long-term survival benefits—a groundbreaking result in metastatic breast cancer.
2. Unmatched OS Improvement:
   • The estimated median OS of 32.1 months versus 18.2 months in the control arm is a 76% improvement. In the world of clinical trials, this is exceptional, but for breast cancer specifically, it’s transformative.
3. The Market Underreacted:
   • Despite these promising results, the market failed to respond meaningfully. Stocks often move on sentiment rather than data, and the current sentiment failed to appreciate the magnitude of this breakthrough. However, savvy investors can spot the disconnect—this is a moment to act before the market corrects itself.

How Does Oncolytics Stack Up to Comps?

In the oncology space, Oncolytics Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC) stands out for its Phase 2 success in metastatic breast cancer and its advanced pancreatic cancer program.

To illustrate its potential, we compare Oncolytics to two groups of companies: larger peers with higher market caps but less clinical progress and past biotech stocks that experienced exponential growth at similar stages.

---

Group 1: Larger Market Caps, Earlier-Stage Pipelines

Several companies are currently valued far higher than Oncolytics Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC) but are in earlier stages of clinical development. This creates a discrepancy between their market value and Oncolytics’ potential, as pelareorep progresses through trials with promising results.

Here’s a look at the companies with larger market caps but behind in the trial process compared to ONCY, which, as of January 17, 2025, was just over $62M.

Group 2: Case Studies of Biotech Stocks That Surged

As we’ve seen before, smaller biotech companies like Oncolytics often experience delayed market reactions to positive trial data[5],[6].

The companies below were in similar positions, with their stock prices surging after releasing key clinical data or hitting major regulatory milestones.

These examples show how the market catches up when the full potential becomes undeniable.

---

Case Study 1: Candel Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CADL)

• Market Cap Surge: $19.52M to $318.27M (Nov 2023 – May 2024)
• Catalyst: Candel’s stock took off after positive Phase 2 data in pancreatic cancer[7], reporting a 130% improvement in median overall survival (OS) over the control group—a strong comparison to Oncolytics’ 76% improvement in breast cancer.
• Relevance: Both companies focus on oncology with strong clinical data. Candel’s market cap jumped from ~$20M to over $300M, echoing Oncolytics’ current size and potential for a similar run.

---

Case Study 2: ADC Therapeutics SA (NYSE: ADCT)

• Market Cap Surge: $37.75M to $439.75M (Nov 2023 – May 2024)
• Catalyst: ADC Therapeutics surged after positive Phase 2 lymphoma data[8]. The significant rise was driven by strong clinical results, just as Oncolytics is poised to leverage its breast cancer results.
• Relevance: Like Oncolytics, ADC is focused on oncology, and its Phase 2 success led to a huge market cap increase—proof that positive data in this space can trigger massive stock gains.

---

Case Study 3: G1 Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: GTHX)

• Market Cap Surge: $58.03M to $405M (Oct 2023 – Sep 2024)
• Catalyst: G1’s rise was fueled by post hoc analyses from its Phase 2 metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) trial[9], showing improved OS with subsequent therapies.
• Relevance: As another oncology company with a direct breast cancer focus, G1 offers a compelling comparison to Oncolytics, showing how successful Phase 2 results can drive significant growth in market value and eventually lead to an acquisition, as G1 was acquired by Pharmacosmos in mid-September 2024,[10] less than a year after the catalyst for a nearly 600% increase over that duration.

**Bonus**: Pancreatic Cancer Program

 While breast cancer is the focus, Oncolytics’ pancreatic cancer program also shows promise, with prior trials demonstrating remarkably improved OS and PFS in pancreatic cancer patients, garnering FDA Fast Track Designation.
