AINewsWire Editorial Coverage: Artificial intelligence is no longer constrained by software innovation alone. The next major bottleneck in the global AI race is rapidly becoming electricity, as hyperscale data centers consume power at levels few existing grids were designed to support. According to the International Energy Agency, worldwide data-center electricity consumption is projected to roughly double by 2030 to approximately 945 terawatt-hours, while AI-optimized data centers could more than quadruple their power consumption over the same period. In practical terms, compute demand is scaling far faster than new grid capacity can be built. At the same time, global attention is increasingly turning toward geologic hydrogen, a naturally occurring underground energy source that advocates believe could play a major role in the transition away from fossil fuels. Within this rapidly advancing sector, MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) (Profile) has emerged as a leading public natural hydrogen company globally and has already confirmed the first subsurface natural hydrogen system in North America at its Lawson Project in Saskatchewan. As AI data center expansion accelerates global electricity demand, MAX Power is advancing commercial evaluation of natural hydrogen as a potential source of off-grid scalable clean baseload power for next-generation AI and distributed infrastructure systems, while leveraging AI-assisted exploration through its proprietary MAXX LEMI platform. With these efforts, MAX Power joins other companies that are leading the way forward in the AI space, including Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE: TSM).

IBN Announces Latest Episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast featuring Robert Price, CEO of Greenland Energy Company

AUSTIN, Texas, May 19, 2026 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Robert Price, CEO of Greenland Energy Company (NASDAQ: GLND), an energy company focused on Greenland's Jameson Land Basin.

To begin the interview, Price discussed Greenland Energy’s recent financing and its fully funded drilling program in the Jameson Land Basin.

“We went through a de-SPAC process and just raised $70 million… Our project is fully funded to drill two wells in Greenland. The wells are at 70 degrees latitude — the same latitude as Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, discovered by ARCO in the 60s and 70s. ARCO identified our 2-million-acre position as its number one prospect after Prudhoe Bay and spent over $275 million on seismic programs, building an airport and a seaport, but oil prices cratered and they never drilled the well. We’ve reprocessed that seismic with modern techniques, and our independent engineering report suggests an upside of over 13 billion barrels of oil. We’re drilling our first two wells this year.”

Join IBN’s Stuart Smith for a conversation with Robert Price, CEO of Greenland Energy, as he discusses the company’s fully funded Arctic drilling campaign, the geological foundation of the Jameson Land Basin and the operational milestones expected through 2026.

MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Gold prices have surged to record and near-record levels in recent months as persistent inflation concerns, geopolitical uncertainty and strong central-bank demand continue to drive investor interest in the precious metal. Major financial institutions have raised their outlook for bullion, with some analysts forecasting significantly higher prices over the next few years as global debt levels rise and economic volatility persists. In this environment, gold developers and emerging producers are working to strengthen their asset bases and accelerate projects that can respond to strong market conditions. Among those is LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (Profile), which has taken several notable steps to advance its position within Québec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt. The company recently released a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for its Swanson Gold Project sourcing mineralized material from its nearby gold mill, confirmed strong drilling results that reinforce the deposit’s growth potential and continued advancing refurbishment work at its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill. Together, these developments reflect LaFleur’s strategy of combining exploration success with existing infrastructure as it works toward restarting gold production and strengthening its foothold in a rising gold market. LaFleur joins a strong group of operators in the gold space, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ECR), Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA) and Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE: WPM) (TSE: WPM.CA).

MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The most powerful moment to get involved in a mining company’s story is often not at the earliest discovery stage, or even after production is fully established, but at the precise inflection point when a company transitions from explorer to producer. This is the stage where geological risk has been substantially reduced, infrastructure decisions have been made and capital is finally aligned with execution, creating the conditions for outsized valuation re-ratings. Solid funding is essential at this juncture, as it allows management teams to shift from conceptual planning to tangible value creation. This scenario is now taking shape at LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (Profile), a Québec-based gold company that recently completed an oversubscribed and upsized $7.8 million financing and is now funded to restart production at its Beacon Gold Mill, positioning the company at exactly the point where upside potential historically accelerates. LaFleur stands out in a crowded junior mining landscape because it controls a rare combination of advanced exploration assets and fully permitted, refurbished production infrastructure in one of the world’s most prolific gold regions. The company owns the Beacon Gold Mill outright, a modern facility in excellent condition that has already undergone substantial upgrades, while also advancing its wholly owned Swanson Gold Project as a near-term source of mineralized material. Despite being years ahead of many regional peers that are still navigating permitting and infrastructure hurdles, LaFleur continues to trade at a discount to the underlying value of its assets, creating what appears to be a compelling disconnect between market valuation and operational readiness. LaFleur is at a strategic inflection point as it transitions to near-term revenue generation in Canada’s largest gold-producing region, sits among a strong group of gold-focused mining companies dedicated to being leaders, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ECR), Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA) and Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF).

Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice.

Funding the Leap to Production

The past few months, gold prices have surged to record highs, with spot gold climbing above $4,600 per ounce and major financial institutions and analysts projecting further gains throughout this year. Analysts have forecast that gold could trade above $5,000 per ounce in 2026, driven by continued macroeconomic uncertainty, central bank buying and safe-haven demand, while 2025 saw one of the strongest gold rallies in years. As gold prices hit these historic levels and forward guidance remains bullish, producing gold-mining companies, particularly those nearing or in production such as LaFleur, stand to benefit from expanded margins and stronger cash flows.

LaFleur’s near-term strategy is built around a simple but powerful concept: feeding its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material from its own Swanson Gold Project to create a vertically integrated, low-cost production model. This approach eliminates many of the uncertainties that plague junior miners, including reliance on third-party processing facilities and delays caused by permitting new infrastructure. By controlling both the source of ore and the processing facility, LaFleur is positioned to capture value across the production chain in one of the most established gold districts globally.

The company recently completed a C$7.8 million financing that marks a strategic inflection point as it transitions from exploration toward near-term gold production and sustained value creation. This financing included the previously announced closing of an upsized LIFE offering with gross proceeds of approximately C$4.7 million, an oversubscribed flow-through offering generating about C$2.2 million and a final hard-dollar tranche of roughly C$900,000. Collectively, these transactions provide the financial momentum required to advance both mill restart activities and continued development of the Swanson Gold Project without immediate dilution pressure.

This funding milestone arrives as LaFleur prepares to complete its Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”), which is intended to outline a comprehensive and economically grounded plan for sourcing mineralized material from Swanson and processing that material at the nearby Beacon Gold Mill. The PEA is expected to incorporate updated geological data, mining scenarios, metallurgical performance and cost assumptions, providing investors with a clearer picture of project economics, benefiting from current gold prices. Importantly, the PEA is not an abstract study but one anchored in existing, permitted infrastructure, significantly reducing execution risk compared with greenfield development models.

LaFleur’s timing aligns with broader structural trends in Canadian gold mining. Canada maintained its position as a top global gold producer in 2024, posting a year-over-year increase in output, with Ontario and Québec remaining at the heart of production. The Abitibi Greenstone Belt, in particular, continues to attract capital, consolidation and major acquisitions. Recent regional transactions involving established producers underscore the strategic value of advanced projects with infrastructure, while rising gold prices add further leverage to near-term producers. Against this backdrop, research coverage has highlighted LaFleur as a potential beneficiary of a near-term re-rating as it moves decisively toward production.

The company owns the Beacon Gold Mill outright, a modern facility in excellent condition that has already undergone substantial upgrades, while also advancing its wholly owned Swanson Gold Project as a near-term source of mineralized material. Despite being years ahead of many regional peers that are still navigating permitting and infrastructure hurdles, LaFleur continues to trade at a discount to the underlying value of its assets, creating what appears to be a compelling disconnect between market valuation and operational readiness. LaFleur is at a strategic inflection point as it transitions to near-term revenue generation in Canada’s largest gold-producing region, sits among a strong group of gold-focused mining companies dedicated to being leaders, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ECR), Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA) and Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF).

Funding the Leap to Production

The past few months, gold prices have surged to record highs, with spot gold climbing above $4,600 per ounce and major financial institutions and analysts projecting further gains throughout this year. Analysts have forecast that gold could trade above $5,000 per ounce in 2026, driven by continued macroeconomic uncertainty, central bank buying and safe-haven demand, while 2025 saw one of the strongest gold rallies in years. As gold prices hit these historic levels and forward guidance remains bullish, producing gold-mining companies, particularly those nearing or in production such as LaFleur, stand to benefit from expanded margins and stronger cash flows.

LaFleur’s near-term strategy is built around a simple but powerful concept: feeding its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material from its own Swanson Gold Project to create a vertically integrated, low-cost production model. This approach eliminates many of the uncertainties that plague junior miners, including reliance on third-party processing facilities and delays caused by permitting new infrastructure. By controlling both the source of ore and the processing facility, LaFleur is positioned to capture value across the production chain in one of the most established gold districts globally.

The company recently completed a C$7.8 million financing that marks a strategic inflection point as it transitions from exploration toward near-term gold production and sustained value creation. This financing included the previously announced closing of an upsized LIFE offering with gross proceeds of approximately C$4.7 million, an oversubscribed flow-through offering generating about C$2.2 million and a final hard-dollar tranche of roughly C$900,000. Collectively, these transactions provide the financial momentum required to advance both mill restart activities and continued development of the Swanson Gold Project without immediate dilution pressure.

This funding milestone arrives as LaFleur prepares to complete its Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”), which is intended to outline a comprehensive and economically grounded plan for sourcing mineralized material from Swanson and processing that material at the nearby Beacon Gold Mill. The PEA is expected to incorporate updated geological data, mining scenarios, metallurgical performance and cost assumptions, providing investors with a clearer picture of project economics, benefiting from current gold prices. Importantly, the PEA is not an abstract study but one anchored in existing, permitted infrastructure, significantly reducing execution risk compared with greenfield development models.

LaFleur’s timing aligns with broader structural trends in Canadian gold mining. Canada maintained its position as a top global gold producer in 2024, posting a year-over-year increase in output, with Ontario and Québec remaining at the heart of production. The Abitibi Greenstone Belt, in particular, continues to attract capital, consolidation and major acquisitions. Recent regional transactions involving established producers underscore the strategic value of advanced projects with infrastructure, while rising gold prices add further leverage to near-term producers. Against this backdrop, research coverage has highlighted LaFleur as a potential beneficiary of a near-term re-rating as it moves decisively toward production.
