MissionIRNewsBreaks – Silver Opportunity: New Pacific Metals Corp. (NYSE American: NEWP) (TSX: NUAG) Unlocks Value from Flagship Projects 

New Pacific (NYSE American: NEWP) (TSX: NUAG), a Canadian exploration and development company, is in a unique position to fill a critical and growing supply gap in the global silver market, with two large-scale projects in Bolivia. “The company’s progress is focused on advancing these assets through permitting in a country that remains geologically rich. The company’s two primary projects, Silver Sand and Carangas, are among the best undeveloped open-pit silver assets in the world. A preliminary feasibility study (‘PFS’) published in June 2024 highlights the strong potential of the flagship Silver Sand project, which is expected to deliver 12 million ounces of silver annually over a 13-year mine life… The Carangas Project’s preliminary economic assessment (‘PEA’), released in September 2024, outlines a low-cost open-pit mine that targets only the upper silver-lead-zinc zone to produce 6.6 million ounces of silver annually over a 16-year mine life… Together, these projects position New Pacific to potentially produce nearly 19 million ounces of silver per year, placing it in the upper ranks of primary silver producers, once both projects enter production.”

MissionIRNewsBreaks – SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) Leveraging Crypto to Bridge New World and Classic Industry 

Disseminated on behalf of SolarBank Corporation 

SolarBank (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) is a premier developer and owner of renewable and clean energy projects, specializing in distributed and community solar initiatives throughout Canada and the U.S. The company recently announced plans to begin holding bitcoin as part of its treasury reserves, marking SolarBank as one of the early adopters of what is becoming an increasingly common approach among publicly traded firms. “The concept of a bitcoin treasury strategy involves companies allocating a portion of their cash or reserves into the cryptocurrency. While it remains a relatively niche approach, a report by Reuters notes that 61 publicly listed companies not primarily focused on digital assets have now adopted such strategies,” reads an article discussing the move. “SolarBank says the decision is designed to align the company with emerging digital asset infrastructure while differentiating its utility-focused profile from competitors.” 

“Traditionally, people invest in utilities as [an] afterthought. It’s a very low return. It’s a stable return,” CEO Richard Lu told Reuters. “So, how do we bridge the excitement of the new world and a classic industry? We feel that the crypto part of that is a bridge we need to cross.”

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) Secures $400 Million in Equity Offering, Eyes Acquisitions and Expansion

  • The $400M at-the-market equity offering was completed in just over two weeks.
  • The average sale price in the offering was at a 149% premium compared to the company’s previous ATM raise in January 2025.
  • The company holds a cash balance of approximately $815 million as of July 1.
  • Proceeds will support strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures, and working capital needs.
  • The ATM program comes as D-Wave’s Q1 2025 revenue surged 509% year-over-year, boosted by a major system sale to Germany’s Julich Supercomputing Center.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, has completed sales of $400 million in gross proceeds of its common stock in an at-the-market equity (“ATM”) offering, a move that strengthens its financial position as the company looks to scale operations and pursue strategic acquisitions. The raise, conducted between June 11 and June 27, was priced at an average of $15.18 per share. This represents a $9.08 or 149% premium to the $6.10 average price per share of the previous $150 million ATM program completed in January, according to the company (https://ibn.fm/AYkup).

This latest capital infusion brings D-Wave’s cash balance to roughly $815 million as of July 1. The company intends to use the proceeds from this financing primarily for strategic acquisitions and general corporate purposes including additional working capital and capital expenditures. 

“We intend to invest in acquisitions and programs that will enable us to expand our already significant lead as the only commercial quantum computing company with applications in production,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave.

For the first quarter of 2025, the company reported a 509% year-over-year revenue increase, driven in large part by sale of its Advantage2(TM) quantum system to the Julich Supercomputing Center in Germany. The company has a hybrid business model, combining high-value hardware sales with a growing subscription base for its Quantum Computing-as-a-Service (“QCaaS”) platform. In Q1, D-Wave also posted a GAAP gross margin of 92.5% and achieved its lowest net loss since going public.

D-Wave remains the only commercial quantum computing company with applications in production, a position it continues to emphasize. The company’s cash position provides D-Wave flexibility to execute on its goals without near-term capital constraints.

Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX) Reports Strong Results in ‘Real-World’ Trial

  • Recent data indicates Soligenix’s HyBryte(TM) is showing promising treatment success in early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
  • “With limited treatment options, especially in the early stages of their disease, CTCL patients are often searching for alternative treatments,” leading investigator states.
  • No new FDA-approved, skin-directed therapies have been introduced in more than a decade, and conventional options carry risks.

Soligenix (NASDAQ: SNGX) is reporting encouraging interim outcomes from the ongoing investigator-initiated study (“IIS”) of its HyBryte(TM) (synthetic hypericin) program, under the direction of Ellen Kim, MD, director of the Penn Cutaneous Lymphoma Program. Kim is a leading enroller in Soligenix’s phase 3 FLASH study and serves as principal investigator for the confirmatory phase 3 FLASH2 trial, which recent data from the IIS indicates is delivering promising treatment success in early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (“CTCL”).

Soligenix and the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation recently released interim results from the open-label IIS evaluating extended HyBryte(TM) therapy administered twice weekly for up to 54 weeks in patients with early-stage mycosis fungoides (https://ibn.fm/IUoEe). At the 18-week evaluation point, six out of eight evaluable patients — 75% — achieved “treatment success,” defined as a ≥50% reduction in modified Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity (“mCAILS”) from baseline. This aligns with the efficacy observed in the phase 3 FLASH study, in which the response rate reached 49% (p < 0.0001 vs. placebo) after 18 weeks (https://ibn.fm/HfwFF).

Further highlighting the treatment’s speed and durability, four of the responding patients in the IIS continued on treatment through 54 weeks, achieving an average maximum mCAILS improvement of 85%, while three remained on therapy. The tolerability profile has been similarly strong: HyBryte(TM) is non-mutagenic, does not damage DNA and is not systemically absorbed; in addition, no serious adverse events or patient dropouts have been reported.

“The complete response rates observed, including three patients achieving a complete response on this study to date, as well as the consistent treatment response and safety profile across multiple HyBryte(TM) clinical studies, has been exciting to see,” said Kim. “In the first phase 3 FLASH study, HyBryte(TM) was shown to be efficacious with a benign safety profile compared to the current therapies of steroids, chemotherapeutics and ultraviolet light in this chronic orphan disease.

“With limited treatment options, especially in the early stages of their disease, CTCL patients are often searching for alternative treatments,” Kim continued. “In our study funded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), initial results evaluating the expanded use of HyBryte(TM) in a ‘real-world’ treatment setting remain very promising, further supporting and extending results from the previous positive phase 2 and 3 clinical trials. It also provides further confidence to the potential responses we can expect to see in the confirmatory phase 3 placebo-controlled FLASH2 study.”

The FLASH2 trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study enrolling approximately 80 early-stage CTCL patients across the United States and Europe, began enrolling in December 2024. It extends treatment in a single continuous 18-week cycle, compared to the 6-week cycle in the original FLASH protocol, with primary efficacy assessed at week 18. Soligenix anticipates an interim analysis in early 2026.

The urgency for innovation in CTCL is clear: no new FDA-approved, skin-directed therapies have been introduced in more than a decade, and conventional options carry risks such as contact dermatitis, UV-induced skin damage and long-term carcinogenic potential (https://ibn.fm/05o9S). “CTCL patients are often searching for alternative treatment,” Kim noted. “HyBryte(TM) offers a distinct treatment option, which patients found extremely useful and continue to specifically request” (https://ibn.fm/XqgT0).

Soligenix anticipates submitting a New Drug Application (“NDA”) to the FDA following successful FLASH2 results. Kim’s leadership, combined with her pivotal role in both enrolment and oversight of these trials, positions HyBryte(TM) as a leading candidate in addressing a significant unmet need in early-stage CTCL. With FLASH2 well underway and key milestones expected in 2026, HyBryte(TM) may soon redefine treatment standards for mycosis fungoides, offering new hope to patients and investors alike.

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) Key Part of Five-Step Blueprint for a Balanced Rare-Earth Supply Chain

  • China’s move exposed how important it is that the United States focus on finding strong domestic sources for essential materials.
  • A possible roadmap comes down to five mutually reinforcing steps, with Ucore Rare Metals’ RapidSX(TM) technology playing a key role in the process.
  • The company’s goal is to play a vital role in building a robust and independent rare earth supply chain in North America, says CEO.

The tariff war between the United States and other countries, particularly China, has created a greater awareness of the tenuous U.S. position in terms of its reliance on China for essential materials for key products. That became even clearer earlier this year when China imposed export licensing restrictions on seven medium and heavy rare-earth elements — specifically samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium — as retaliation for U.S. tariffs, significantly tightening the supply of elements critical for aerospace, defense and other industries (https://ibn.fm/HYY5u).

China’s move exposed how quickly one regulatory dial, controlled half a world away, can grind American production to a halt — and how important it is that the United States focus on finding strong domestic sources for essential materials. Enter Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF), a North America–based uranium mining and exploration company.

While there’s no single fix to securing North America’s critical metals industry, a coherent roadmap may be emerging. The plan comes down to five mutually reinforcing steps, with Ucore Rare Metals’ RapidSX(TM) technology playing a key role in the process.

The first step is to diversify the rock, or widen the funnel of ore. Exploration programs in North America and allied nations are racing to qualify fresh deposits of dysprosium, terbium and other heavy rare earths. Since 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense has committed more than $439 million to strengthen domestic rare-earth supply chains — covering mining, separation, processing and magnet manufacturing — and aims to meet all U.S. defense requirements by 2027 (https://ibn.fm/o33DQ). In addition, government programs are boosting permitting for mining and providing tax credits, grants and funding for domestic critical mineral facilities with an eye on redundant sources blunting geopolitical risk and reassuring manufacturers.

Second, shrink the bottleneck with modular refining. Concentrate is only half the journey; the true choke-point is chemical separation. This is where Ucore’s RapidSX comes into play. Unlike conventional 50-stage solvent-extraction corridors, the system arrives on modular skids and processes mixed concentrate in a fraction of the time (https://ibn.fm/xzmbc). A new $18.4 million Defense Department award — bringing total federal support to $22.4 million — is funding installation of the first commercial RapidSX line at Ucore’s Strategic Metals Complex in Alexandria, Louisiana, slated to begin commissioning next year (https://ibn.fm/OTvbq). This means that smaller, faster plants can be sited where they are needed, cutting logistics costs and giving defense contractors predictable lead times.

Third, anchor refining to magnet-making hubs. Separation alone is not enough if finished magnets still cross the Pacific. The next step aims to pair mid-stream RapidSX units with new domestic magnet factories now rising in Oklahoma, South Carolina and the Upper Midwest, which are collectively designed to cover roughly one-tenth of U.S. demand once fully ramped.

Fourth, buffer the market with stockpiles and off-take hubs. April’s executive order on critical minerals directed agencies to accelerate seabed-resource permits and evaluate a national stockpile for strategic materials, including rare-earth oxides (https://ibn.fm/mUXdY). Coupled with long-term off-take agreements encouraged by the Inflation Reduction Act, the policy aims to smooth price swings and signal guaranteed buyers to private financers. Strategic reserves and locked-in customers stabilize markets, derisk capital expenditure and prevent panic buying when headlines spike.

Finally, prove the chain with traceability and environmental, sustenance and governmental (“ESG”) standards. Regulators on both sides of the Atlantic are tightening disclosure rules. The European Union’s Critical Raw Materials Act (https://ibn.fm/qcEOo) and updated OECD guidelines require granular origin data (https://ibn.fm/BOuMT), while U.S. agencies weigh stricter reporting under Section 232 investigations (https://ibn.fm/5LGnr). Against this backdrop, technologies such as RapidSX in audit-controlled foreign-trade zones (“FTZs”) provide the verifiable documentation needed for public procurement teams, ESG compliance and green-bond markets, all in line with evolving regulation and market expectations.

Individually, none of these steps snaps China’s grip. But together, they create a network effect: diversified ore feeds enable modular refineries, those refineries feed nearby magnet plants, strategic reserves smooth demand and rigorous traceability attracts capital. “[Ucore’s] goal is to play a vital role in building a robust and independent rare earth supply chain in North America, reducing reliance on Chinese imports and fostering technological innovation,” said Ucore chair and CEO Pat Ryan (https://ibn.fm/fSE97).

A recent article discusses Ucore’s significant milestone in this effort, indicating the company secured an $18.4 million funding agreement from the U.S. Department of Defense (‘DoD’) to support the development of its domestic rare earth processing facility. “The project represents a major step toward American independence in the global REE supply chain, which is currently dominated by China… Ucore’s Strategic Metals Complex (‘SMC’) in Alexandria, Louisiana, aims to become a cornerstone of American rare earth processing capability. The SMC will utilize Ucore’s Proprietary RapidSX(TM) technology, which offers a more efficient and environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional solvent extraction methods… The plant is designed to separate both light and heavy REEs, including neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium, which are crucial for permanent magnets used in electric motors and defense systems.”
