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

Posted on July 17, 2025 by MissionIR
  • 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).

SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) Aligns Strategy as North American Energy Policy Shifts

Posted on July 16, 2025 by MissionIR
  • U.S. clean energy tax credits under the new Big Beautiful Bill require projects to commence construction by July 4, 2026, and complete within four years.
  • SolarBank has enough advanced-stage U.S. projects to meet this timeline, backed by a $100 million financing deal with CIM Group.
  • The company is prioritizing construction on a 97 MW portfolio in key states with interconnection and permitting progress.
  • In Canada, SolarBank is deploying battery systems in Ontario under decade-long IESO contracts and expanding in Nova Scotia’s Community Solar program.
  • Canada’s “Build, baby, build” policy push under Prime Minister Mark Carney favors developers with shovel-ready assets.
  • SolarBank is actively adjusting development and financing schedules to align with evolving incentives while managing cross-border policy risk.

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., is positioning itself to navigate and benefit from rapidly evolving policy developments in both the United States and Canada. As lawmakers on both sides of the border adjust clean energy timelines, incentives, and infrastructure priorities, the solar and battery storage developer is adapting its strategy to maintain momentum and secure investor value (https://ibn.fm/KhbAn).

In the U.S., the newly enacted Big Beautiful Bill (“BBB”) sets a clear policy horizon for renewable energy developers. The legislation allows solar and battery energy storage projects to qualify for full investment tax credits (“ITCs”) if construction begins by July 4, 2026, and the projects reach commercial operation within four years. This represents a shift from earlier open-ended timelines and will likely accelerate near-term activity across the sector.

SolarBank CEO Dr. Richard Lu said the company is ready. “We have enough advanced-stage projects we can get into construction before the deadline to take advantage of the tax credits,” he noted. Crucially, a $100 million project-level financing arrangement with CIM Group will help SolarBank move forward with its 97-megawatt (“MW”) U.S. portfolio. These assets are primarily located in states where the company already controls project sites and has made permitting and interconnection progress, key hurdles that often slow renewable energy builds.

In parallel, the company is drawing on its diversified Canadian footprint to hedge against U.S. policy shifts. In Ontario, SolarBank is deploying battery energy storage systems under the province’s Long-Term RFP initiative from the Independent Electricity System Operator (“IESO”). The program offers decade-long contracts for clean, dispatchable capacity, providing long-term visibility for developers.

SolarBank also maintains a strong position in Nova Scotia’s Community Solar program, where it holds notable market share as an EPC contractor and continues to expand. These provincial programs, backed by stable regulatory support, offer an additional layer of revenue stability as the company grows.

Dr. Lu also highlighted Canada’s broader infrastructure and energy ambitions under Prime Minister Mark Carney’s “Build, baby, build” strategy, a recently launched push to accelerate infrastructure, housing, and clean energy development. “SolarBank benefits from Canada’s support to clean energy and is leading the charge to build Canada as an energy superpower,” he said.

The macro backdrop in the U.S. also remains favorable. Federal data indicates that the country must add over 206 gigawatts of new power capacity by 2030, with solar expected to provide nearly three-quarters of that supply. In the first quarter of 2025, solar and wind accounted for 98% of new generation capacity added across the nation.

According to Dr. Lu, March 2025 marked the 19th consecutive month in which solar was the largest contributor to new electrical capacity in the U.S. Falling costs and faster deployment times continue to make solar and battery storage competitive in both regulated and deregulated power markets.

As SolarBank continues to adjust its development timelines, financing structures, and construction schedules, the company is positioning itself to capture both short-term tax credit benefits and long-term value creation. With operations in two countries undergoing active energy transitions, SolarBank’s dual-market exposure may prove to be a strategic asset in the years ahead.

For more information, visit the company’s website at SolarBankCorp.com. This report contains forward looking information. Please refer to the press release entitled “SolarBank Issues Update on Strategic Positioning Amid Shifting U.S. and Canadian Policy Landscape” for additional details on the statements, risks and assumptions.

Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) to Benefit from $33 Billion US Defense Bill Targeting AI and Drone Innovation

Posted on July 15, 2025 by MissionIR
  • Safe Pro Group offers AI-powered computer vision software for analyzing drone imagery to identify small objects as landmines and other battlefield threats.
  • The company’s SPOTD technology has already processed over 1.66 million images, identifying more than 28,000 real-world explosive threats.
  • Safe Pro is advancing conversations with the Department of Defense and prime contractors about deploying its tech under OBBBA funding.
  • Integration with the U.S. Army’s ATAK platform positions the company for wider adoption across military units.
  • Reduced procurement “red tape” and increased demand for scalable AI and drone-based solutions create a favorable environment for Safe Pro’s growth.

With the U.S. government committing over $33 billion to artificial intelligence and drone technology through the newly enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), the defense landscape is poised for a rapid evolution, and Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI), an emerging provider of AI-powered security and threat detection solutions, expects to capitalize on this growth.

Signed into law on July 4, 2025, the OBBBA allocates $13.5 billion to unmanned systems and another $16 billion toward federal AI initiatives, including defense modernization and border security. The bill marks one of the largest U.S. investments to date in next-generation battlefield technologies (https://ibn.fm/nttLF).

Safe Pro Group operates at the intersection of these priorities. Its SpotlightAI(TM) platform uses computer vision, deep learning, and artificial intelligence to rapidly analyze imagery captured by commercial drones. This platform, part of the company’s SPOTD (Safe Pro Object Threat Detection) suite, can identify over 150 types of mines and unexploded ordnance in a fraction of a second per image.

The data fueling this system comes from one of the most mine-contaminated regions in the world: Ukraine. With a growing dataset now encompassing over 1.66 million GPS-tagged drone images, Safe Pro has already identified more than 28,000 real-world threats across an area roughly the size of Manhattan.

The company’s leadership believes the timing of OBBBA is significant. “As the United States seeks to harness the power of drones and AI to support the warfighter and protect its borders, we believe that the passage of the OBBBA creates significant opportunities for our unique, battle-tested imagery analysis technology within the Department of Defense,” said Chairman and CEO Dan Erdberg. “We look forward to advancing our activities with the multiple program executive offices within the DoD and prime contractors supporting customers on fulfilling new AI capabilities with this new funding.”

Safe Pro is in active discussions with multiple DoD program executive offices and prime contractors, who will now have access to substantial new funding. Unlike in past years, the OBBBA also aims to streamline acquisition processes, removing barriers that have traditionally slowed the deployment of innovative technology in the federal space. The bill will result in reduced restrictions and procurement “red tape,” leading to a proliferation of drones, driving an exponential increased need for AI image analysis, a task Safe Pro is uniquely suited to perform.

A critical application under development is the integration of Safe Pro’s SPOTD detection capabilities into the U.S. Army’s ATAK platform (Android Tactical Assault Kit), which is already widely deployed. The aim is to allow mine detections made through SpotlightAI(TM) to be instantly shared across soldier-worn and vehicle-mounted devices in real time.

Beyond software, Safe Pro operates a diversified set of defense and public safety businesses. Its Airborne Response division provides drone-as-a-first-responder services for law enforcement and drone-based critical infrastructure inspection and monitoring services for tier-one enterprise customers. Another unit, Safe-Pro USA, manufactures U.S.-made ballistic protection products, including advanced body amor plates, EOD suits and bomb blankets that meet NATO and DoD specifications.

This multi-pronged approach gives Safe Pro exposure to both emerging tech and traditional defense supply channels. As a HUBZone-certified small business, Safe-Pro USA also qualifies for procurement set-asides, enabling access to government grants and contracts that favor domestic production.

Analysts estimate that the global defense AI and drone market could exceed $15 billion in the coming years. With the U.S. market now being supercharged by OBBBA, Safe Pro’s early investments in AI and real-world battlefield data could give it a key edge. The shift is not just strategic; it’s logistical. As drone usage increases, so too does the flood of image data requiring analysis. Safe Pro’s platform offers a scalable and automated method for turning that data into critical actionable insights.
