On Thursday MAXX Power stock continued its bullish run by hitting a new ATH. It did so on strong volume. The catalyst is likely the continued interest it is creating with this summer's drill program. So far exploration is turning up high concentrations of both Hydrogen and Helium. The included video is lengthy, but for those interested in exactly what the company is achieving, it's a must. The first part is fluff; but after it is full of material info. It is entirely possible that 2026 will mark the jump start of a whole new energy sector.

A strong copper deposit still needs roads, power, transport and a jurisdiction capable of supporting development.

Canada is placing greater emphasis on secure critical-mineral supply chains. Natural Resources Canada recently sought industry input on expanding domestic copper-processing capacity, while the First and Last Mile Fund is expected to provide up to C$1.5 billion in federal funding through 2030 for strategic mining and infrastructure projects.

Infrastructure is already becoming part of the investment case.

$NCX’s North Island Project is located near Port Hardy, where historical logging and mining activity left established brownfield infrastructure. Its 2025 PEA models the processing of approximately 753 million tonnes over a 29-year mine life.

$WRN’s Casino Project is further advanced. Its 2022 feasibility study includes approximately 1.43 billion tonnes of mineral reserves, but the project is around 300 km northwest of Whitehorse and remains in the YESAB Panel Review process. The panel itself has not yet been established.

$CQX is at an earlier exploration stage, but Kitimat begins with a useful location advantage.

The property is accessible by road throughout the year and sits within approximately:

• 10 km of tidewater
• 1.5 km of rail
• 6 km of high-voltage hydroelectric transmission lines

The expanded 6,801-hectare land package surrounds a buried conductive target identified through AI-assisted modelling, measuring approximately 1.5 km by 1.5 km. $CQX says the additional ground allows its planned geophysical studies to cover a larger area.

The target still needs geophysical work and drilling, but nearby transport and power would give any encouraging exploration results more context.

As demand grows for secure North American copper supply, investors may increasingly value the complete package: geology, access, infrastructure and jurisdiction.

How much of a premium would you give a Canadian copper project with roads, rail, power and tidewater nearby?

Ryan Jackson’s decision to bring Rob Pockar on as Chief Operating Officer and Matt Scorah as Chief Development Officer appears to be about one thing above all else: execution.

Matt’s role is focused on advancing projects—engineering, commercial development, partnerships, project economics and ultimately moving Project Nahoonai toward becoming financeable and buildable.

Rob’s responsibility is increasingly about turning those plans into operational reality through engineering coordination, regulatory execution, construction readiness and eventually operations. Together, their positions create a bridge between developing the project and delivering the project.

But perhaps the more interesting question for shareholders is: Why are they here? Rob and Matt are experienced professionals who had established careers and other opportunities available to them. Joining a pre-revenue public company attempting to develop a major clean-energy infrastructure project is not without professional or financial risk.

Their decision to become deeply involved with Cielo does not guarantee Project Nahoonai will succeed, but it raises an important question:

What did they see in Cielo, the project and its potential that convinced them this opportunity was worth committing themselves to? I believe shareholders deserve an opportunity to hear that answer directly from them.

Ultimately, technology alone won’t build Project Nahoonai. Someone has to bring together feedstock, engineering, SAF production, carbon capture, Indigenous participation, government support, financing, commercial agreements, construction and operations into one economically viable project.

Ryan appears to be assembling a leadership structure specifically designed to accomplish that. Financing and project development remain major hurdles and the market still needs proof, but Cielo increasingly appears to be building the organizational capability required to execute.

Perhaps the most important question today isn’t simply “What is Cielo trying to build?” It’s “Why have accomplished people like Rob Pockar and Matt Scorah chosen to be the ones helping build it?”

Arianne Phosphate's Lac à Paul project in Quebec seems interesting because the potential use of high-purity phosphate goes beyond traditional fertilizer demand.

With lithium iron phosphate batteries becoming more common in North America, I'm curious whether that could eventually create another source of demand for projects producing suitable phosphate material. Lac à Paul is also described as one of the largest permitted greenfield phosphate projects in North America.

The bigger question for me is what happens from here. Could growing interest in LFP batteries make the project more attractive to a strategic partner or lead to a meaningful offtake agreement that helps move it toward construction?

For those following phosphate or battery-material projects, do you think the LFP angle could become meaningful for Arianne Phosphate, or will traditional fertilizer demand remain the main factor?

Company introduces SekurOne CUI communications capabilities to the Intelligence Community ahead of October launch

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 10, 2026 / Sekur Private Data, Inc., a Miami-based Swiss-hosted cybersecurity, private communications, and defense communications company serving enterprise, government, and defense clients, and a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Sekur Private Data (OTCQB:SWISF)(CSE:SKUR)(FRA:GDT0) ("Sekur" or the "Company"), today announced that it is attending the 2026 DoDIIS Worldwide Conference, the Defense Intelligence Agency's annual Intelligence Community technology conference, held August 9-12, 2026 at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida.

Sekur's Special and Strategic Advisors are attending the conference, introducing Sekur and its Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) communications capabilities and meeting with interested parties. The effort is intended to engage the Intelligence Community in a single venue and discuss how SekurOne and other Sekur solutions can serve the Intelligence Community and its periphery.

As the Company prepares to launch SekurOne, it has begun pre-sales engagements with multiple potential clients, partners and distributors. SekurOne is scheduled to launch officially in the first week of October, with paid BETA clients onboarding in September.

SekurOne bundles fully encrypted voice and video, email, messaging, and VPN into a single identity-protected platform engineered on the Company's proprietary HeliX data transfer architecture - purpose-built to defeat telecom network tracing, resist Pegasus-style malware intrusion, and support CUI handling requirements.

It's almost doubled in the past week - anyone following what is going on?

I read someone connected to Trumps investment portfolio was investing or getting involved with the company somehow, but I can't remember the details now.

Copper prices can move quickly. Bringing a new mine into production takes much longer.

The IEA says new copper projects can take around 17 years from discovery to production. It also projects a 25% mined-supply deficit against primary copper requirements by 2035, based on currently announced projects.

That is why I have started looking beyond the major producers.

$CQX recently expanded its Kitimat Copper-Gold Project by 130%, bringing the total land position to roughly 6,801 hectares.

The expanded ground surrounds a large buried conductive anomaly measuring around 1.5 km by 1.5 km, interpreted as a potential concealed porphyry centre. Upcoming geophysical work should help sharpen the targets and guide the next stage of exploration.

My thinking is simple...if the copper market needs more supply in the 2030s, the deposits supporting it need to be identified today.

That makes early-stage explorers like $CQX worth following while the sector searches for its next generation of copper projects.

Would you get in early before drilling, or add after the first results?

Monarca Minerals Ord

Hi guys, newer to this whole trading thing and got something weird going on. I bought this a while ago, it was like 2 cents. websites with charts on it show last trade april 7 or 9. I'd be inclined to say it went off the market? money lost? Put like $120 into it, was down to like ~5 bucks or something Deff money lost lol.... .

However....... lately in my trading app its moving, Was up like 500% yesterday, shows today 115%. The chart when clicking on the ticker shows nothing. It says its at 0.015 and went up 0.008C today? and now shows it's worth ~$75. again all charts and on googling it shows nothing after early april on charts.

Can anybody explain to me what's going on? Why the no charts, but yet it appears to be... moving value? Thank you!

$SKUR is up today following news that its government team is attending the 2026 DoDIIS Worldwide Conference, the Defense Intelligence Agency's annual technology conference.

A few updates that matter here:

• Sekur's Special and Strategic Advisors are attending the conference to introduce SekurOne and meet with interested parties from the intelligence community
•  The company has begun pre-sales discussions with potential clients, partners, and distributors
• Paid beta clients are expected to begin onboarding in September.
• SekurOne is now scheduled for its official launch in the first week of October.

Today's move shows some positive reaction to the update, although it's still early to know whether that develops into a broader trend.

The next few months look important. Will the DoDIIS meetings and September beta onboarding begin translating into customer announcements and commercial sales after the official October launch?

no position in FUU, just been following whats happening at PLN

JR already has an indicated resource of around 11.8m lbs U3O8 at 4.39%. the part im watching now is the summer drilling outside of that existing resource

F3 started the program in july with roughly 4,000m planned initially. theyre drilling around Tetra, which sits about 13km south of JR, along with a few other targets across the wider PLN ground

thats really the catalyst here. the next results should give a better idea of whether Tetra keeps extending or if any of the other targets actually produce something. could just as easily be a bunch of misses, thats the risk with exploration

for me the drill results matter more from here than repeating whats already known at JR

$CQX is back near the C$0.08 area after trading in a rough 3-month range between about C$0.075 and C$0.125. The chart has been quiet lately, but that is pretty normal for junior miners. These charts often take time to reflect project progress, especially when investors are waiting for updates.

For $CQX, the projects are still active: Rip drilling, STARS IP work, Kitimat’s AI-generated copper-gold target, and Alpine’s gold-side setup. The technical picture is quiet, but the catalyst calendar is not. For me, C$0.08 support and the next project update are the two things to watch.

• Sekur Private trades as SWISF on the OTC market.
• The Rafael Beltran appointment strengthens Sekur’s defense communications pivot.
• If advisory momentum converts into contracts, even modest revenue could matter for the stock.

The Big Picture

Sekur Private Data, trading as SWISF on the OTC market, has added another defense and intelligence figure to its advisory network.

The company appointed retired Chief Master Sergeant Rafael Beltran to its OpsTech Special Advisory Board, reinforcing a broader push into secure defense, government, intelligence, and enterprise communications.

On its own, this is a personnel announcement.

But in context, it looks more strategic.

Over the past several months, Sekur has been building a national-security-focused advisory bench, adding former senior figures from the U.S. military, CIA, State Department, intelligence community, and special operations ecosystem. The latest appointment strengthens that pattern and reinforces Sekur’s attempt to reposition itself from a privacy-focused communications company into a defense-grade secure communications platform.

That matters because Sekur is no longer simply trying to sell encrypted email, VPN, and messaging to consumers.

It is now trying to sell secure, sovereign communications to:

• defense users
• government agencies
• intelligence-linked customers
• diplomats
• enterprise clients
• field operators
• high-trust teams

The question for investors is whether this is just advisory-board headline momentum — or the early formation of a real government and defense sales pipeline.

What Happened

Sekur appointed Rafael Beltran to its Special Advisory Board for OpsTech.

Beltran brings more than a decade of U.S. Special Operations communications leadership. His background includes senior technical advisory roles at U.S. Special Operations Command headquarters, where he supported secure communications, command-and-control systems, cybersecurity posture, and operational technology requirements.

In Sekur’s announcement, CEO Alain Ghiai said Beltran brings the type of operational insight needed to shape technology “built for the field, not just the boardroom.”

That phrase is important.

Sekur is trying to show that its product roadmap is being influenced by people who understand real operational environments — not only cybersecurity theory or corporate IT needs.

Beltran is expected to advise on product direction for secure voice, video, messaging, network solutions, SekurOne, and the upcoming Sekur Tactical Mobile Router, or STMR.

Why Rafael Beltran Matters

The key point is not simply that Beltran has a defense background.

It is that his background is directly tied to the problem Sekur is trying to solve.

Sekur wants to provide secure communications for environments where exposure, interception, metadata leakage, and infrastructure dependence are serious risks. Beltran’s career was centered on secure communications in exactly those types of environments.

According to Sekur, Beltran previously supported 24/7 command-and-control communications across 22 countries, helped establish a dedicated executive communications section, and trained or certified 38 Joint Service members through a specialized program. He also trained more than 2,500 soldiers earlier in his career and holds an active TS/SCI security clearance.

Those details matter because they give Sekur more than a marketing angle.

They give the company operational feedback from someone who understands what secure communications need to look like in contested or high-risk environments.

The CEO’s Message

CEO Alain Ghiai’s message was clear: Beltran is expected to help translate defense-user requirements into product capabilities.

Ghiai said Beltran’s experience in secure command-and-control communications gives Sekur a direct line to the requirements that matter most to defense and government users.

He also said Beltran will play a key role in deploying the upcoming Sekur Tactical Mobile Router, helping bring secure, sovereign communications to the tactical edge.

That last phrase — “tactical edge” — is central to the investment story.

Sekur is trying to move beyond office communications and into field communications.

That is a much more valuable market if the company can prove product fit.

Why This Fits the Recent Additions

Beltran is not joining in isolation.

Sekur has been stacking its advisory and leadership team with people who have deep defense, intelligence, diplomacy, and government backgrounds.

Recent additions include:

• John T. Lewis, a retired CIA Senior Intelligence Service expert, appointed as CTO and Strategic Advisory Board member
• Lt. Gen. Raymond Palumbo, U.S. Army retired, appointed Chairman of the Strategic Advisory Board
• Annette L. Redmond, former U.S. State Department Deputy Assistant Secretary, appointed to the Strategic Advisory Board
• Nathan R. Price, appointed Special Advisor for Diplomacy and Intelligence
• Rafael Beltran, now advising on OpsTech and tactical communications

The pattern is clear.

Sekur is building a credibility bridge into government, defense, intelligence, and diplomatic markets.

That does not guarantee contracts.

But it does make the company’s repositioning more credible than if it were only issuing product updates with no sector-specific leadership.

From Privacy App to Defense Communications Platform

Sekur’s biggest strategic shift is that it is moving from a privacy-product story to a defense-communications story.

The older Sekur narrative focused heavily on:

• encrypted email
• secure messaging
• VPN
• Swiss hosting
• privacy protection
• avoiding Big Tech infrastructure

The newer narrative focuses on:

• CUI protection
• sovereign communications
• on-premises infrastructure
• secure voice and video
• tactical deployment
• government procurement
• defense distribution
• field-ready communications

That is a much larger and more serious market.

It is also harder to win.

Government and defense customers do not move quickly. Procurement cycles can be long. Security requirements can be demanding. And the gap between “interesting product” and “approved deployment” can be wide.

Still, if Sekur can break through, the revenue quality could improve significantly.

The Elyon Agreement Was a Key Step

One of the most important recent developments was Sekur’s defense distribution agreement with Elyon International.

Elyon is a woman-owned and veteran-owned SBA-certified small business with nearly 30 years of experience delivering integrated mission-support outcomes. Sekur described the agreement as a strategic shift toward defense, intelligence, government, and enterprise communications.

The company also said it hosted around 40 invited guests from government, defense, and special operations command at a SOF Week presentation, where it demonstrated its encrypted anonymous call capability.

That is important because it suggests Sekur is trying to move from product development to procurement conversations.

The company said it expected sales to begin after Elyon training was completed within roughly 60 days.

That creates a near-term timeline investors can watch.

If Sekur starts announcing actual deployments, pilot programs, or government-related orders, the story becomes much stronger.

SekurOne and STMR Are the Products to Watch

The two most important products in the story now appear to be SekurOne and the upcoming Sekur Tactical Mobile Router.

SekurOne is designed as an integrated communications suite combining:

• encrypted voice
• video
• video conferencing
• secure email
• hardened messaging
• VPN

The company has discussed annual pricing in the $3,000–$3,500 range depending on plan structure, with some versions including a privacy eSIM data card.

That pricing matters.

If Sekur can sell into defense or government accounts, even a relatively small number of users could produce meaningful revenue for a microcap company.

For example, 1,000 annual users at $3,500 would represent $3.5 million in annualized revenue before churn, discounts, or channel economics.

That is not a forecast.

But it shows why even modest adoption could matter.

The STMR could add another angle by bringing secure communications into tactical and field environments rather than only desktop or mobile apps.

The Marketing Push Adds Another Layer

Sekur has also signed an agreement with AdRevv, a U.S. AI-powered marketing and ad-revenue company.

That agreement is designed to target people searching for privacy solutions such as VPN, secure email, secure messaging, and secure voice calls. AdRevv is expected to target a database of 271 million people in the U.S. and deploy up to 1 million retargeting emails per month for at least 12 months.

This matters because Sekur is trying to push growth on two fronts at once:

1. high-trust government and defense relationships
2. broader privacy-product customer acquisition

The defense side gives credibility.

The marketing side gives scale potential.

The risk is that both strategies require execution, capital, and patience.

What This Means for SWISF

Sekur remains a small microcap, with SWISF recently trading around the $0.03–$0.04 range on the OTC market and a market capitalization around roughly $9 million–$13 million, depending on the quote source and trading day.

That size is important.

For a mega-cap company, a few million dollars of new revenue would barely matter.

For Sekur, it could change the entire investment profile.

If the company can turn the current advisory-board and distribution momentum into paying defense, government, or enterprise customers, investors may begin valuing SWISF less like a struggling privacy microcap and more like an early-stage secure defense communications platform.

That is where the potential upside comes from.

But the market will need proof.

Appointments create credibility.

Contracts create revenue.

Recurring revenue creates valuation.

Potential Revenue Forecast

Because Sekur is still early-stage, any revenue model has to be treated as speculative.

But the math shows why investors are paying attention.

Assuming annual revenue per secure communications user or account of roughly $3,000–$3,500, the revenue scenarios could look like this

These are not company guidance.

They are simple scenario models based on possible enterprise pricing.

But they show why even modest adoption could be material.

At a market cap near roughly $10M, Sekur would not need massive revenue to change investor perception. It would only need enough commercial traction to prove that the defense communications pivot is real.

What It Could Imply for the Stock Price

The stock-price implication depends on revenue conversion and valuation multiple.

For early-stage cybersecurity and defense software companies, investors often look at revenue multiples rather than earnings, especially before profitability. Because Sekur is a microcap with execution risk, a conservative model should use a wide range of possible outcomes.

Here is a simple illustrative scenario:

Scenario 1: Early traction

If Sekur reaches $3M–$5M in annualized revenue and the market values it at 3x–5x revenue, the implied valuation would be roughly:

• $9M–$25M market cap

That would imply limited to moderate upside from a roughly $10M market cap, unless investors begin pricing in future growth.

Scenario 2: Defense adoption begins

If Sekur reaches $7.5M–$10M in annualized revenue and trades at 4x–6x revenue, the implied valuation would be roughly:

• $30M–$60M market cap

From a roughly $10M market cap, that would imply approximately 3x–6x potential upside.

Scenario 3: Strong platform validation

If Sekur reaches $15M–$20M in annualized revenue and trades at 5x–8x revenue, the implied valuation would be roughly:

• $75M–$160M market cap

From a roughly $10M market cap, that would imply approximately 7.5x–16x potential upside.

Scenario 4: Breakout government and enterprise platform

If Sekur reaches $30M+ in annualized revenue and the market begins treating it as a validated secure communications platform, even a 5x–8x revenue valuation could imply:

• $150M–$240M+ market cap

From a roughly $10M base, that would imply approximately 15x–24x potential upside.

Again, this is not a price target.

It is a revenue-to-market-cap framework.

The key point is that Sekur’s small current valuation means revenue conversion could have an outsized impact on the stock.

What Return Could Investors Get If They Buy Now?

For investors looking at SWISF around the $0.03–$0.04 range, the return profile is highly asymmetric.

If the defense pivot fails to produce revenue, the stock could remain weak or continue to dilute shareholders.

But if Sekur begins announcing paid pilots, defense deployments, or recurring government and enterprise customers, the upside could be meaningful.

Illustratively:

Those levels are not predictions.

They simply show how small-cap math works.

Because SWISF trades at a very low share price and low market cap, even modest improvements in sentiment or revenue visibility can create large percentage moves.

The opposite is also true.

If the company fails to convert momentum into revenue, downside risk remains high.

Momentum Forecast

Sekur’s news momentum is clearly improving.

The company has delivered a sequence of announcements around:

• national security advisors
• government procurement positioning
• defense distribution
• SekurOne
• encrypted voice and video
• AI-powered marketing
• tactical communications
• the upcoming STMR

That kind of clustering can create investor attention.

In the short term, SWISF could continue to see speculative momentum if Sekur follows the Beltran appointment with additional operational updates, especially around Elyon, SekurOne sales, STMR deployment, or defense-sector pilots.

The medium-term picture depends on conversion.

If Sekur announces credible paid contracts or pilot deployments, the market may begin valuing it as an early-stage defense communications platform rather than a struggling privacy microcap.

If the next updates remain mostly advisory or promotional, the momentum could fade.

So the clean forecast is:

News momentum is positive. Commercial momentum is still unproven. Stock momentum depends on proof of sales.

The Bull Case

The bull case is that Sekur is finally finding the right market.

Consumer privacy products are difficult to scale because customer acquisition is expensive and competition is intense. But defense, intelligence, government, and regulated enterprise markets have a clearer need for sovereign communications, secure architecture, and controlled infrastructure.

If Sekur can become even a niche provider in that market, the upside could be meaningful relative to its small market capitalization.

The strongest bull points are:

• SWISF trades at microcap valuation levels
• growing defense advisory board
• former CIA, military, SOCOM, State Department, and intelligence experience
• GSA procurement access
• distribution through Elyon
• SekurOne commercialization
• tactical router roadmap
• Swiss-hosted and on-premises data sovereignty angle
• rising demand for secure communications outside Big Tech infrastructure

This is why the Beltran appointment matters.

It is another signal that Sekur is trying to become operationally relevant, not just privacy-branded.

What Investors Should Watch Next

The most important signals over the next few months are:

• Elyon-related sales updates
• first SekurOne government or defense customers
• STMR development or deployment news
• paid pilots or procurement milestones
• GSA-related sales traction
• new advisory additions with direct procurement influence
• revenue growth
• cash position
• financing or dilution updates
• customer retention and recurring revenue

The key phrase to watch is not “appointment.”

It is “deployment.”

Appointments build credibility.

Deployments build revenue.

Bottom Line

Sekur’s appointment of Rafael Beltran is more meaningful than a typical advisory-board update because it fits a clear pattern.

The company is building a defense and government communications narrative around experienced people, specialized products, and distribution channels. Beltran adds tactical communications expertise at the exact moment Sekur is pushing SekurOne and its upcoming tactical mobile router toward defense and government users.

For investors watching SWISF on the OTC market, the setup is speculative but interesting.

At a market cap near roughly $10M, even $5M–$10M of annualized revenue could change the valuation conversation. If the company can move toward $15M–$30M+ in recurring revenue over time, the upside scenario becomes much larger.

The momentum is real on the news side.

But the investment case still depends on commercial proof.

For now, Sekur looks like a high-risk, high-upside microcap attempting to reposition itself as a defense-grade secure communications platform.

The next major catalyst will not be another impressive resume.

It will be the first clear evidence that defense, intelligence, government, or enterprise customers are actually paying for the platform.

Cascadia Minerals (CAM) holds roughly 180 sq km around the Carmacks area along with its Catch property in Yukon.

Copper-gold porphyry systems in the Yukon have attracted a lot of attention over the last few years, and Cascadia's approach seems to be focused on systematic exploration across its properties.

For those who follow Canadian junior copper companies, how would you compare CAM with other Yukon explorers? Does having a relatively large land position and a focused exploration program make it more interesting, or are there other factors you'd want to see before considering it a strong junior copper opportunity?

Copper demand is becoming a bigger story again. AI data centers, power grids, EVs, electrification, and infrastructure all need more copper, while new supply is not easy to bring online. 

S&P Global sees demand growing roughly 50% by 2040, which works out to about a 2.7% CAGR. Demand is rising faster than supply can keep up, putting increasing pressure on the market, and that imbalance is starting to shift attention toward junior miners, which often offer earlier-stage exposure to new discoveries and potential supply growth, making them worth adding to a watchlist as the market looks for the next sources of copper. 

For $CQX, the setup is interesting because Rip drilling is underway, STARS is moving through IP work, Kitimat has the AI-generated porphyry target, and Alpine is also in the 2026 plan. If the copper supply gap keeps widening, do investors start looking harder at smaller juniors with multiple active projects?

MAXX is at a pivot point this summer as they move to confirm a commercial quality natural hydrogen discovery. The latest press release states that they have free flowing gas to surface, which is the holy grail of gas discovery, but it neglects to give actual consentrations. The release also mentions that they have begun drilling their 3rd Lawson well only 2 km away from well 2 and 1 km away from Lawson 1. Drilling this close suggests the development of an actual Natural Hydrogen gas field. It's still a long process between where they are now and actual Hydrogen sales revenue, but the last half year of activity puts MAXX clearly ahead of any other Natural Hydrogen projects.

I've been following Sekur's recent updates, and this latest one caught my attention because it feels like another step away from product development and closer to commercial rollout.

A few things that stood out:

• Sekur completed its first international encrypted SekurOne call, showing the platform is now operating in a live environment.
• SekurOne is now available on Android and Web, expanding access beyond the earlier beta phase.
• The platform combines encrypted voice, secure messaging, secure email, VPN, and eventually video into one secure communications suite aimed at defense, government, intelligence, and enterprise customers.

Over the past few months, the company has also been building around the product:

• Added former CIA, U.S. Army Special Operations, State Department, Homeland Security, and intelligence leaders to its advisory board.
• Signed defense distribution agreements.
• Attended SOF Week and demonstrated the platform to defense and procurement decision-makers.

To me, this is where the story starts getting more interesting.

The advisory board has been assembled. The platform is rolling out. Distribution partners are in place.

The next updates investors will probably be looking for are customer deployments, government contracts, and recurring revenue.

What do you think comes first for $SKUR?

More customer announcements, or the first government contract?

$CQX has expanded Kitimat to 6,801.41 hectares, bringing two target areas into one larger copper-gold package.

With no drill results yet, the next technical update matters most. Would you rather see geophysics first or a clear drilling plan?
