The plasma-technology provider noted that certain machinery already carries an unchanged 10% tariff and that its ability to manufacture in Canada, the U.S. and abroad gives it flexibility to adjust sourcing. For investors, it removes a key overhang tied to Canada-U.S. trade tensions.Axo Metals Corp.

The results point to meaningful resource-growth potential at the new Luz del Cobre target, where three rigs are now turning.Boreal Gold Inc. (CSE: BGLD)Boreal Gold announced eye-catching surface grab-sample assays from its Fay Lake property, including 190.38 g/t gold at Koscielny Lake's Lakeshore Vein and 19.19 g/t gold near the Redwin Shaft area. Ten of eleven Lakeshore samples ran above 1.0 g/t gold. With recent drilling now at the lab, the high-grade showings set up potential catalysts for the micro-cap explorer.Ucore Rare Metals Inc.

It marks a major step toward becoming an intermediate producer.California Nanotechnologies Corp. (TSXV: CNO) (OTCID: CANOF)Cal Nano received the largest purchase order in its history from an existing U.S. advanced-nuclear customer for boron-carbide reactor control components used in a small modular reactor program. The order, expected to ship by fiscal year-end, marks the company's transition from development work into larger-scale production within the fast-growing nuclear energy supply chain.Happy Belly Food Group Inc. (CSE: HBFG) (OTCQB: HBFGF)Happy Belly signed a definitive agreement and closed the acquisition of a 50% interest in Ontario-based fast-casual chain Ghost Taco through a joint venture, with an option to acquire the remaining 50%.
