(TSX.V: LMR) (“Lomiko” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert Boisjoli as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately. Mr. Boisjoli, based in Montreal, replaces the company’s outgoing CFO, Jacqueline Michael.

Mr. Boisjoli, who is a Fellow Chartered Professional Accountant, is a corporate finance/operational professional with over 30 years of operational and advisory experience. He is the managing director of Atwater Financial Group, a company specializing in financial reporting services for listed mining companies. He is an advisor to various public exploration companies. Mr. Boisjoli was an investment banker with various Canadian securities firms. He is also a Board Member of CPA Professional Liability Plan Inc. and various nonprofit community organizations.

About Lomiko Metals Inc.

The Company holds mineral interests in its La Loutre graphite development in southern Quebec. The La Loutre project site is within the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg (KZA) First Nation’s territory. The KZA First Nation is part of the Algonquin Nation, and the KZA traditional territory is situated within the Outaouais and Laurentides regions. Located 180 kilometers northwest of Montreal, the property consists of one large, continuous block with 76 mineral claims totaling 4,528 hectares (45.3 km2).

The Property is underlain by rocks from the Grenville Province of the Precambrian Canadian Shield. The Grenville was formed under conditions that were very favorable for the development of coarse-grained, flake-type graphite mineralization from organic-rich material during high- temperature metamorphism.

Lomiko Metals published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in a NI 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the La Loutre Project, Quebec, Canada, prepared by InnovExplo on May 11th, 2023, which estimated 64.7 million tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources averaging 4.59% Cg per tonne for 3.0 million tonnes of graphite, a tonnage increase of 184%. Indicated Mineral Resources increased by 41.5 million tonnes as a result of the 2022 drilling campaign, from 17.5 million tonnes in 2021 MRE with additional Mineral resources reported down-dip and within marble units resulted in the addition of 17.5 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources averaging 3.51% Cg per tonne for 0.65 million tonnes of contained graphite; and the additional 13,107 metres of infill drilling in 79 holes completed in 2022 combined with the refinement of the deposit and structural models contributed to the addition of most of the Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated Mineral Resource category, relative to the 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate. The MRE assumes a US$1,098.07 per tonne graphite price and a cut-off grade of 1.50% Cg (graphitic carbon). The independent and qualified persons for the mineral resource estimate, as defined by NI 43 101, are Marina Iund, P.Geo. (InnovExplo Inc.), Martin Perron, P.Eng. (InnovExplo Inc.)., Simon Boudreau, P.Eng. (InnovExplo Inc.). and Pierre Roy, P.Eng. (Soutex Inc.). The effective date of the estimate is May 11, 2023.

The Company also holds interest in seven early-stage projects in southern Quebec, including Ruisseau, Tremblant, Meloche, Boyd, Dieppe, North Low and Carmin, covering 328 claims in total on 7 early-stage projects covering 18,622 hectares in the Laurentian region of Quebec and within KZA territory.

The stage graphite portfolio consists of 328 claims in total on seven early-stage projects covering 18,622 hectares in southern Quebec. The grades presented below for the Laurentides graphite portfolio were press-released on January 7th, 2025. (https://lomiko.com/news/lomiko-metals– encounters-up-to-27-9-graphite-at-its-laurentides-early-stage-projects-including-the-discovery-of-four- new-zones-at-the-ruisseau-project-spanning-over-3-kilometres-long/)

  • Ruisseau–grades up to 27.9 percent carbon graphite (“% Cg”) from four distinct high grade mineralized zones that are over 3km long;
  • Meloche –grades up to 13.3% Cg from two distinct mineralized clusters;
  • Tremblant –grades up to 11.6% Cg from numerous, widespread spot anomalies; and
  • Dieppe –grades up to 6.82% Cg from numerous, widespread spot anomalies and a distinct mineralized cluster.
  • Boyd–8 samples grades range from 5.61% Cg to 17.10 %Cg with all samples above 5.00% Cg. The technical content regarding the exploration results presented was reviewed by Mark Fekete, P.Geo. who acts as an independent consultant to the Company and is the Qualified Person.

The Yellow Fox Property is located approximately 10 km southwest of the Town of Glenwood NL, and south of the Trans-Canada Highway. The Property occurs within NTS map sheets 02D/14 and 15 with excellent access along several logging and skidder roads originating from Glenwood. The main Yellow Fox showing is located in the central part of License 027536M, 5km from the western end of Gander Lake.

This property is on the same trend as the past-producing antimony mine Beaver Brook, which is located 25km southwest of the property. Yellow Fox is an early-stage exploration property prospective in antimony, gold, and silver where historic works returned samples anomalous in gold (Au), antimony (Sb), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and silver (Ag). The trenching exposed the rocks, resulting in grab samples to 59.43g/t Au, 11.10% Sb, 7.00% Zn, 72.90g/t Ag, and 5.50% Pb in arsenopyrite-stibnite veins within altered monzogranite.

Le gouvernement fédéral poursuit ses investissements dans le secteur de la fusion afin de créer un centre dédié à l’énergie de fusion

Posted on by

Le Centre pour l’énergie de fusion est un partenariat entre le gouvernement du Canada, le gouvernement de l’Ontario, Énergie atomique du Canada limitée, les Laboratoires nucléaires canadiens, Ontario Power Generation et Stellarex visant à renforcer l’écosystème canadien en pleine croissance dans le domaine de la fusion et à faire progresser l’énergie propre

PICKERING, Ontario, 28 nov. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Énergie atomique du Canada limitée, une société d’État fédérale, continue de développer un secteur de la fusion florissant au Canada en créant un centre pour l’énergie de fusion avec les Laboratoires nucléaires canadiens, Ontario Power Generation et Stellarex. Cette collaboration permettra de créer une plateforme nationale pour un écosystème canadien de fusion robuste et intégré, de développer des capacités nationales avancées en matière d’énergie de fusion et de faire progresser la recherche et le développement dans ce domaine au Canada. Le renforcement du leadership canadien dans le domaine de l’énergie de fusion s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’engagement du gouvernement fédéral à faire du Canada une superpuissance énergétique et l’économie la plus forte du G7.

« Grâce au nouveau Centre d’excellence en fusion, le Canada et l’Ontario franchissent une nouvelle étape dans le renforcement de notre secteur de l’énergie nucléaire, a déclaré Tim Hodgson, ministre de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles. Notre nouveau gouvernement est fier de travailler avec la province pour soutenir les investissements canadiens qui élargiront notre recherche en matière d’énergie propre et feront croître notre secteur de l’énergie de fusion. »

D’autres partenaires et contributeurs devraient se joindre au Centre pour l’énergie de fusion et élargir la portée à d’autres organisations du secteur privé et de la recherche.

« Les chercheurs de renommée mondiale de l’Ontario propulsent le secteur de l’énergie dans une nouvelle ère d’énergie propre », a déclaré Nolan Quinn, ministre des Collèges, des Universités, de l’Excellence en recherche et de la Sécurité. « Grâce à cet investissement, notre gouvernement tire parti de la position de notre province en tant que puissance nucléaire pour alimenter les découvertes en matière d’énergie de fusion qui feront progresser nos industries, renforceront notre main-d’œuvre dans le secteur de l’énergie et protégeront l’Ontario. »

« L’Ontario s’affirme comme pionnier du nucléaire, en commençant par la technologie canadienne CANDU il y a plus de 50 ans jusqu’à la construction aujourd’hui du premier petit réacteur modulaire du G7, a déclaré Stephen Lecce, ministre de l’Énergie et des Mines. Comme l’énergie de fusion représente la prochaine frontière de l’énergie propre disponible 24 heures sur 24, l’Ontario s’associe à Ontario Power Generation pour ouvrir de nouveau la voie en créant le Centre d’énergie de fusion. Plus que jamais, l’Ontario mise sur son avantage nucléaire en investissant dans le développement de l’énergie nucléaire de fusion — une source presque inépuisable d’énergie sans émissions pour les générations futures. »

La contribution du gouvernement fédéral provient du Plan de travail fédéral sur les activités de sciences et technologie nucléaires d’Énergie atomique du Canada limitée, avec un investissement de 33 millions de dollars en nature dans des projets de recherche liés à la fusion menés par les Laboratoires nucléaires canadiens. Ce programme relie les vastes capacités de recherche des Laboratoires nucléaires canadiens en matière de tritium, de fusion et de matériaux au Centre for Fusion Energy.

La province de l’Ontario, par l’intermédiaire d’Ontario Power Generation, investit également 19,5 millions de dollars, et la société de fusion Stellarex contribue à hauteur de 39 millions de dollars aux activités de développement et de déploiement de l’énergie de fusion. L’Ontario, par l’intermédiaire d’OPG, abrite la quasi-totalité du tritium commercial mondial, un sous-produit des réacteurs CANDU d’OPG, qui sert de combustible de fusion essentiel pour presque tous les modèles de réacteurs à fusion.

« La fusion est un défi scientifique mondial crucial à long terme, et le Canada a développé un certain nombre de capacités uniques qui nous permettront de jouer un rôle important dans son avenir », a déclaré Fred Dermarkar, président et directeur général d’Énergie atomique du Canada limitée. « Il est essentiel de travailler ensemble, à tous les niveaux de gouvernement et entre les institutions publiques, privées et universitaires, pour réaliser notre potentiel collectif. »

« Cet accord marque un moment passionnant pour l’énergie de fusion ici au Canada. Il témoigne de l’esprit d’exploration, d’innovation et de collaboration. Ce nouveau centre permet de mieux mettre en relation la vaste expérience et les capacités uniques au monde des LNC en matière de recherche sur le tritium et les matériaux avec les partenaires industriels qui cherchent à mettre en œuvre cette technologie prometteuse d’énergie propre », a souligné le Dr Stephen Bushby, vice-président, Science et technologie, LNC.

« OPG est depuis longtemps un chef de file de l’industrie nucléaire canadienne, et nous reconnaissons le rôle que la fusion pourrait jouer pour répondre aux besoins futurs de l’Ontario – et du monde entier – en matière d’énergie propre », a déclaré Kim Lauritsen, vice-présidente principale, Stratégie et croissance d’entreprise, OPG. « À mesure que cette technologie se rapproche de sa mise en œuvre commerciale, OPG, par l’intermédiaire de la CFE, s’efforcera de développer un écosystème national de fusion qui positionnera l’Ontario et le Canada comme des leaders dans cette technologie en plein essor. »

« L’expertise nucléaire du Canada et ses avantages concurrentiels uniques à l’échelle mondiale en font un endroit idéal pour accélérer le développement de l’énergie de fusion », a déclaré Spencer Pitcher, directeur général désigné de Stellarex. « Avec nos partenaires des gouvernements provincial et fédéral, Stellarex renforcera le savoir-faire du Canada en matière d’énergie de fusion, construira des prototypes d’énergie de fusion et préparera la main-d’œuvre nécessaire pour fournir de l’énergie de fusion au réseau. »

FAITS EN BREF

Le Centre pour l’énergie de fusion est un partenariat public-privé qui réunira les leaders du secteur des énergies propres, favorisera la coopération scientifique et fera du Canada une destination de choix pour les investissements dans la fusion.

Le gouvernement fédéral, par l’intermédiaire d’Énergie atomique du Canada et des Laboratoires nucléaires canadiens, contribue à hauteur de 33 millions de dollars à des activités de recherche sur trois ans.

Le Centre pour l’énergie de fusion est l’un des nombreux investissements dans l’énergie de fusion réalisés par Énergie atomique du Canada limitée et le gouvernement fédéral. Cela comprend le soutien à General Fusion et l’investissement dans Fusion Fuel Cycles, une coentreprise entre les Laboratoires nucléaires canadiens et Kyoto Fusioneering, qui poursuit la mise en place de l’installation d’essai UNITY-2 pour la démonstration du cycle du combustible de fusion, qui sera située dans les laboratoires de Chalk River d’Énergie atomique du Canada limitée.

Énergie atomique du Canada limitée et les Laboratoires nucléaires canadiens ont mis en place un écosystème au Canada et ont publié une première feuille de route stratégique nationale en collaboration avec l’industrie.

Les dépenses des Fêtes pourraient injecter 13 G$ dans l’économie canadienne

Posted on by

BDC lance un défi simple : choisir les produits et services d’ici, sans dépenser plus

MONTRÉAL, 27 nov. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Les ménages canadiens prévoient dépenser en moyenne 943 $ pour leurs achats des Fêtes cette année, selon un sondage de la Banque de développement du Canada (BDC) réalisé du 12 au 16 novembre. Les répondants prévoient consacrer 59 % de ce budget (soit 553 $) à des produits et services canadiens, ce qui représenterait 11 milliards $ pour le PIB du pays et soutiendrait 45 000 emplois.

Voici une occasion à saisir : bien que seulement 17 % des répondants envisagent d’augmenter leurs dépenses totales pour les Fêtes cette année, 46 % comptent dépenser davantage pour des biens et services canadiens. Cela démontre un changement dans les comportements d’achats pour soutenir l’achat local, sans nécessairement dépenser davantage. Et la motivation est claire : 63 % disent le faire principalement pour soutenir les entreprises canadiennes et l’économie du pays.

Selon BDC, en redirigeant 100 $ supplémentaires de leur budget actuel pour les Fêtes vers des produits canadiens, les ménages pourraient faire passer les achats canadiens à 653 $, ce qui ferait un impact équivalant à 13 milliards $, soutenant 55 000 emplois.

« Chaque achat local renforce notre économie », souligne Pierre Cléroux, vice-président, Recherche et économiste en chef à BDC. « Les Fêtes, c’est le moment parfait pour faire plaisir et soutenir l’économie d’ici en même temps. »

Parmi les catégories d’achats canadiens qui se démarquent pour les Fêtes :

  • Aliments et boissons : 54 %
  • Vêtements et accessoires : 39 %
  • Cartes-cadeaux pour commerces et restaurants locaux : 34 %
  • Expériences et divertissements : 27 %

Un moment clé pour agir

La période des Fêtes représente près de 20 % des ventes annuelles (ce qui exclut les véhicules, les matériaux de construction et l’essence), et jusqu’à 26 % pour les bijoux et la maroquinerie. « Pour beaucoup de PME, la période des Fêtes est déterminante pour leur rentabilité annuelle », rappelle Pierre Cléroux. « C’est l’occasion idéale de les soutenir, tout en offrant des cadeaux porteurs de sens. »

Plus de produits d’ici, plus d’impact

  • Choisissez des cadeaux, des décorations et des produits alimentaires canadiens.
  • Explorez les produits d’ici et visitez les marchés d’artisans
  • Et si vous manquez d’inspiration, pensez aux cartes-cadeaux pour des boutiques ou restaurants locaux.

« Offrir une carte-cadeau d’un commerce d’ici, c’est bien plus qu’un cadeau : c’est donner un vrai coup de pouce aux entreprises de chez nous. Ça leur donne de la liquidité tout de suite, ce qui les aide à passer la période des Fêtes et à démarrer la nouvelle année en force » ajoute Pierre Cléroux.

Ensemble, on peut faire des dépenses des Fêtes un vrai moteur pour l’économie canadienne, sans dépenser un sou de plus.

Hungry Minds, Publisher of Kickstarter Phenomenon and Amazon Bestseller The Book, Takes on the Graphic Novel Genre With The Last Book

Across sprawling hand-illustrations and raw narrative, the last surviving Earthling pieces together the achievements, absurdities, and beliefs of a vanished world

St. Petersburg, FL, Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

November 26, 2025 – Following the global success of Kickstarter phenomenon and Amazon bestseller The Book: The Ultimate Guide to Rebuilding Civilization, creative studio and publishing house Hungry Minds returns with The Last Book: The Diary of the Last Earthling.

Brought to life by Lead Illustrator Lev Kaplan, The Last Book is a 400+ page hand-illustrated tome blending graphic novel stylings with the intimacy of a personal record. After watching the destruction of Earth from a deserted spacecraft he has no memory of boarding, Noah wanders its silent corridors in search of answers. As he traverses the vessel, he fills his sole possession, a journal, with sketches and memories of humanity. His reflections on art, science, culture, and belief are part observation, part tribute, woven into the narrative of his mysterious circumstances. 

“Every Hungry Minds title is meant to feel like a modern artefact, and The Last Book is no exception,” says Timur Kadyrov, co-founder of Hungry Minds. “We’re always pushing to make books that are beautiful and intellectually alive. The Book invited you to learn how civilization was built, The Last Book lets you experience those ideas through Noah’s eyes. That human lens makes everything feel more personal. We’re excited to see how readers connect with him.”

The Last Book made its first appearance in New York during the Hungry Minds SoHo Pop-Up in July of 2025, where a reading for friends, family, and press offered an early glimpse of its story.

Hungry Minds rose to prominence with its 2022 release The Book: The Ultimate Guide to Rebuilding Civilization, which raised over 3 million USD, the third most funded publication in Kickstarter history at the time. It has since sold more than 300,000 copies worldwide.

With The Last Book, the publisher expands from rebuilding civilization to remembering what makes it so special. The Last Book: The Diary of the Last Earthling is currently available through the Hungry Minds website and Amazon.

AI startup Onton raises $7.5M to reinvent the way the world discovers and decides what to buy

Posted on by

AI startup Onton raises $7.5M to reinvent the way the world discovers and decides what to buy




AI startup Onton raises $7.5M to reinvent the way the world discovers and decides what to buy

Onton to accelerate its mission of collapsing the 79 day shopping journey into under one day. Its novel neurosymbolic AI foundation – a next generation search and inspiration engine – now helps more than 2 million monthly users cut through complexity, find products they trust, and make confident decisions instantly.

San Francisco, Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Shopping has quietly become one of the hardest problems on the internet. People spend a collective lifetime moving between tabs, filtering through over-SEO’d listings, comparing conflicting reviews, and trying to work out what is real and what is marketing. The average person takes 79 days to make a single purchase decision, and the number is growing. Onton was built to reset this experience by making every decision as informed as asking an expert and as easy as asking a friend.

Onton has now raised $7.5 million in seed funding led by Footwork with participation from Liquid 2, Parable Ventures, 43 and others, bringing its total funding to approximately $10 million. The company will use the capital to expand its product, scale its team, and grow its global footprint as demand for trustworthy, intelligent search accelerates.

Team Onton. 

The timing is significant. Traditional e-commerce is struggling under the weight of unstructured data and models that were never designed for the volume or complexity of information the modern web produces. Existing search engines rely on keyword matching, outdated filters, or advertising incentives that often push relevance to the background. Onton combines a new interface with a novel neurosymbolic AI foundation that learns more about the world with every search, dramatically increasing accuracy and enabling people to move from discovery to decision in minutes.

“We are building the future of decision making online,” said Zach Hudson, CEO and Co-Founder of Onton. “People deserve a way to shop that feels intelligent, transparent, and effortless. Onton is designed to remove the friction that slows everyone down and to give users absolute confidence in their choices.”

AI canvas, one of ontons new surfaces.

Onton allows users to search with natural language, images, or both. It aggregates information from across the web into a single product listing so people do not have to bounce across twelve sites to feel confident in what they choose. With new creative tools like Imagine and Surfaces, users can dream up the pieces they want and instantly see shoppable versions of those ideas. Onton is already delivering a conversion rate three times higher than the industry benchmark and over 20% of users are weekly active.

Multimodal search with Onton.

The company’s momentum has been fueled by a clear need and a long list of shared frustrations. Alex, Onton’s co-founder, spent 30 hours looking for a mid-century gray couch with wood trim and realized everyone around him had been through similar pain. Zach had been building Rcmmd and studying trust in online reviews for years. When the two met at a YC Startup School event, they recognized they were approaching the same problem from different angles. They teamed up, built the earliest versions of the product, won Pioneer, were accepted into the fifth On Deck Fellowship, and began scaling what would become Onton. The team scaled monthly active users to over 1 million with just four employees at the start of 2025 to ten today and expects to add five more soon.

Across the industry, the forces shaping shopping are shifting fast. The internet is filled with unverified, automatically generated content and the burden is landing on consumers to separate signal from noise. Brands are becoming walled gardens and long trusted sources for product recommendations are disappearing. At the same time, people are rapidly adopting AI first interfaces and expecting search to behave more like an intelligent assistant than a filterable list. These shifts are reshaping expectations for relevance, accuracy, and trust.

Image search with Onton.

Onton’s users describe the impact directly. One recently explained that Onton helped him find quality products that matched his passions without wasting hours on research. Another said the platform confirmed that items she was considering were truly unique, giving her the confidence to move forward instead of continuing to shop endlessly. Others shared that Onton cut months off their decision cycles and helped them restyle or furnish their homes with products they could immediately purchase. Power users are doing over 100 searches and generations a month. 

Looking ahead, Onton plans to expand beyond home decor and furniture into new categories like apparel and electronics, guided by the demand it already sees from users. The company will continue refining its knowledge graph, scaling its data pipeline, and preparing to introduce a customizable search engine that adapts to each individual. Over time, Onton aims to become a global decision making tool that supports any product, in any category, in any country
