Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s exploration strategy for its flagship Challacollo Silver-Gold Project, located in Region 1 of northern Chile. The property hosts a low-sulphidation epithermal Ag-Au vein system with a significant established silver resource, making it one of the more prospective undeveloped silver projects in the region. Rushton shared that Aftermath plans to initiate a 7–10 hole diamond core drilling program in Q4 2025, targeting up to 2,000 meters of total drilling. Previous drilling campaigns primarily focused on the Loló́n Vein, the principal structure on the property, which has been drilled to approximately 200 meters below surface. Importantly, the oxidation zone bottoms at around 200 meters, and beyond this depth the mineralized structures remain open and largely untested. Notably, gold and base metal grades have been observed to increase at depth, further enhancing the project’s exploration potential. The upcoming drilling campaign has three key objectives to expand the current resource by extending known veins down dip and along strike. Test additional veins—both historically identified but untested, as well as newly interpreted structures within Aftermath’s land package and twin select RC holes to collect supplementary geological and metallurgical data, strengthening the company’s understanding of orebody characteristics and potential processing options. Rushton emphasized that this program is designed to both de-risk the existing resource and unlock new exploration upside, positioning Challacollo as a cornerstone asset in Aftermath’s growing silver-gold portfolio. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #SilverMining, #BerenguelaProject, #Mining #Silver #Copper #Manganese #Peru #DrillingResults #BatteryMetals #ResourceModel #Investing

Algernon Pharmaceuticals CEO Christopher Moreau joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major milestone in the company’s transition toward specialized healthcare services. Algernon has signed a definitive equipment purchase and financing agreement with Catalyst MedTech for four U.S. FDA-cleared Oncovision CareMiBrain brain-specific Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner systems. These systems will be deployed in Algernon’s first four planned neuroimaging medical clinics in the United States. The agreement, valued at over CAD $4 million, is a non-dilutive transaction and also includes provisions for Algernon to acquire an additional six scanner systems on an adjusted cost basis to support the establishment of future clinics. This marks an important step in scaling Algernon’s clinic network across North America. Moreau also highlighted that Algernon intends to rebrand as Algernon Health, a move that reflects the company’s strategic pivot into the Alzheimer’s Disease diagnostic market. The company’s neuroimaging clinics will be the first in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to brain-specific PET imaging, focusing on the early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease. In addition, the facilities will offer advanced PET imaging for other neurological conditions, including various forms of dementia, epilepsy, neuro-oncology, and movement disorders. Algernon plans to work closely with neurologists, geriatricians, primary care physicians, and other healthcare professionals to generate patient referrals and ensure its clinics are well-integrated into the broader medical ecosystem. The need for brain-specific imaging capacity in the U.S. is significant. While PET/CT scanners exist nationwide, the vast majority — 45% of which are located in hospitals — are prioritized for oncology and cardiology diagnostics, leaving limited availability for timely brain scans. This shortage is particularly pressing given the emerging demand for Alzheimer’s diagnostic tools and therapies. Each Alzheimer’s PET brain scan at Algernon’s planned clinics will cost approximately US$5,000, a service covered in the U.S. by private insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid. By establishing a dedicated network of clinics, Algernon aims to address this critical gap in diagnostic services and position itself at the forefront of the rapidly growing Alzheimer’s care market. #proactiveinvestors #algernonpharmaceuticalsinc #cse #agn #otcqb #agnpf #alzheimerdisease #demetia

New Era Energy & Digital CEO Will Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful completion of Phase One engineering for Texas Critical Data Centers LLC, the company’s flagship data center and power development project located in the heart of the Permian Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico.
