Canadian North Resources Inc. Reports Operational and Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2025
Highlights: Expanded bio-metallurgical programs from initial bio-leaching tests indicating metal extraction of 97.86-98.5% nickel and 96.9-97.7% cobalt, with the goal of achieving similarly high recoveries of copper and PGE metals from the Ferguson Lake Ni-Cu-Co PGE Project located in southeast Nunavut, Canada. Continued evaluation of multiple metal processing technologies to produce market-ready battery-grade nickel and cobalt compounds, copper and PGE metals from a low-cost, low- carbon footprint mine. Working with local governments and indigenous communities for permissions, permits and licenses to conduct environmental baselines studies; communicating with investors, and potential partners to support the future development of the Ferguson Lake Project. TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadian North Resources Inc. ('Canadian North' or the 'Company') (TSXV: CNRI; OTCQX: CNRSF; FSE: EO0 (E-O-zero)) is pleased to report its operational and financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Dr. Kaihui Yang, President and CEO of the Company, commented: 'In the second quarter, we have expanded the bio-leaching tests to develop a mineral processing flowsheet for the high recovery of nickel, cobalt, copper and PGE for the Ferguson Lake Project. The new tests are focused on the recovery of copper and PGE, in additional to nickel and cobalt, following up the exceptional results of the bio-leaching amenability tests completed in 2024, which indicate very high extraction rates for nickel (97.8-98.9%) and cobalt (96.0-97.7%) plus encouraging initial extractions of Cu of 73.6 -75.4%. The results of the new tests are pending. When proven, this flowsheet can simplify mineral processing, bypassing smelting and metal refining, and it will substantially reduce the capital expenditures needed for mine development, energy consumption, and operating cost for production. We believe that bio-leach extraction is a promising technology for developing a low-cost, low-carbon footprint mine at the Ferguson Lake Project.' 'We have actively communicated with the governmental agencies and local communities for the permissions, permits and licenses to conduct environmental baselines studies, and we have increased our communications with investors for the potential mine development of the Ferguson Lake Project.' Quarter 2 of 2025 Highlights: The Company also engaged in the following activities in the second quarter: During the second Quarter, the Company's team communicated with local governments and communities for the permissions, permits and licenses to start the environmental baseline studies at the Ferguson Lake Project. The Management has increased communications with shareholders, investors and potential strategic partners for the further development of the Company and its Ferguson Lake Project. On April 15, 2025, the Company filed its operational and financial results for the fiscal year 2024. During the year, it also publicly disclosed an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Ferguson Lake Project, confirming it as one of the largest and highest-grade copper-nickel-cobalt-PGE deposits in North America. In addition, the Company initiated bio-leaching tests, which achieved 96–98% extraction rates for nickel and cobalt, supporting the potential use of this technology in developing a low-carbon, environmentally sustainable mining operation at Ferguson Lake. On April 16, 2025, the Company filed with the TSX Venture Exchange ('TSXV') an update on its Normal Course Issuer Bid ('NCIB') that was announced on April 5, 2024. During the past year (from April 5, 2024, to April 4, 2025), the Company has repurchased a total of 202,300 Common Shares at an average price of $0.98 per share under the NCIB. The completion of this repurchase underscores the Management's commitment to returning value to shareholders while optimizing the Company's capital structure. On April 24, 2025, the Company announced that it has filed with the TSX Venture Exchange ('TSXV') a Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid which is proposed to commence on April 28, 2025 and terminate on April 27, 2026 or the earlier of the date all shares which are subject to the Normal Course Issuer Bid are purchased. The Company believes that the current market price does not fully represent the intrinsic value of CNRI's Common Shares. On May 27, 2025, the Company filed the interim operational and financial results of the first Quarter, 2025. During the first Quarter, the Company continued evaluation of multiple metal processing technologies to produce market-ready battery-grade nickel and cobalt compounds, copper and PGE metals from a low-cost, low-carbon footprint mine for the Ferguson Lake Ni-Cu-Co-PGE Project. The Company commenced follow-up extensive bio-metallurgical programs from initial bio-leaching tests indicating metal extraction of 97.86-98.5% nickel and 96.9-97.7% cobalt, with the goal of achieving similarly high recoveries of copper and PGE metals. The Company enhanced engagement with local governments, Indigenous communities, investors, and potential partners to support the future development of the Ferguson Lake Project. In Quarter 2, 2025, the Company expanded the bioleaching tests with RPC for the high recovery of copper and PGE in addition to nickel and cobalt, and continued the flotation tests with SGS for the Ferguson Lake project. The technical team has also prepared for the field working programs upon receiving the permissions and permits from the governmental agencies. On June 21, 2025, the Company announced the voting results for the election of its Board of Directors at its Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 19, 2025. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $143,233 and reported a net loss and comprehensive loss of $292,890 or $0.00 per share.

Janel Group, based in Garden City, New York, and originally founded in 1974, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Janel Corp. Janel Group had revenues of approximately $181.3 million and operating income of approximately $8.7 million for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2025. The company is a non-asset based, full-service provider of cargo transportation logistics management services. Its management team will remain in place as part of Rubicon. The transaction allows Rubicon to acquire a profitable business and better access to capital. Janel Corp shareholders will benefit from its ownership of Rubicon. The transaction, which was approved by the Rubicon board, including its independent directors, is subject to approval by the majority of Rubicon's disinterested stockholders. Additional Transaction Details Janel Corp will sell all of the issued and outstanding equity of Janel Group to Rubicon in exchange for 7,000,000 shares of Rubicon common stock, at a value of $4.75 per share.

Inflation Is Ticking Upwards. Should Opendoor Investors Be Worried?
Key Points Opendoor Technologies has a challenging business model and, on top of that, has executed it poorly. Higher inflation may keep rates elevated, which would work against Opendoor. The company's CEO recently resigned, another flashing warning sign. 10 stocks we like better than Opendoor Technologies › Prices of various goods and services continue to rise across the U.S. economy. Currently, the trailing 12-month inflation rate is 2.7% as of July 2025. Research by The Motley Fool tracks inflation, as well as its historical effect on the stock market and consumers. Generally speaking, too much inflation isn't a good thing. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » One area of the economy where inflation can have an effect is real estate. Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) is trying to revolutionize the housing industry with an e-commerce business model, but the company has struggled. Should investors worry about inflation ticking upwards, and how that could affect Opendoor and the housing market? The root of Opendoor's struggles Opendoor is trying to build an Amazon -like e-commerce model for the housing industry, where people can buy and sell homes online. The company buys homes, usually those in good condition or those that only need minor repairs, then resells them on its online marketplace. It sounds like a great idea, but the company hasn't been able to turn that into a sustainable business yet. The profit margins are slim. Opendoor has to balance competitive offers for homes it buys with the need to resell those properties at a profitable price. Opendoor acquires homes with debt so that it can operate at a larger scale, but debt incurs interest expenses. Therefore, the company's goal is high inventory turnover, quickly buying and reselling homes to spread the cost of its capital and business operations across as many transactions as possible. All of this is even harder when you consider that market conditions and interest rates can change. Rapid interest rate hikes caught Opendoor off guard a few years ago and incurred massive losses on the inventory it was stuck holding on to. To put it kindly, Opendoor Technologies has not been a good investment thus far. The company went public via a SPAC merger in late 2020, and the stock has dropped over 90% from its all-time high. What happens if inflation heats up, and how might that affect Opendoor? The housing market is slow right now, and that's working against Opendoor. High interest rates on mortgages are the primary culprit. Rates on 30-year mortgages are currently at 6.5%. Higher rates can make housing payments dramatically more expensive. For example, suppose you buy a home for $420,000 using a 5% down payment and a conventional 30-year mortgage. The difference in the monthly payment on a mortgage with a 5% rate versus a 7% rate is over $500. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) controls the federal funds rate, the economy's benchmark rate at which banks lend to each other. It doesn't solely determine mortgage rates, but it does influence them. If inflation continues to rise, the Fed may be reluctant to lower rates or could even raise them to cool inflation down. It would be hard to see the housing market loosening up in that scenario, which would continue to make things difficult for Opendoor. Should investors worry about Opendoor, or is the stock a buy? Opendoor Technologies recently soared over 500% after a hedge fund manager posted about the stock on social media. Since then, the stock has cooled off some, but remains highly volatile. Adding to the uncertainty is the recent resignation of CEO Carrie Wheeler, who announced that she was stepping down from her position following the company's most recent earnings report. So, where does that leave investors right now? For one thing, if inflation continues to rise, Opendoor and its investors should be concerned. Second, it would work against Opendoor if the Fed maintains a high federal funds rate. Beyond that, an already struggling company now lacks leadership at the helm. Perhaps change will be a good thing, but it's hard to give Opendoor the benefit of the doubt. Despite the stock's recent rally, it's probably best to avoid Opendoor until there is a new CEO in place and the company shows at least two or three consecutive quarters of improved business performance. For now, it's unclear whether Opendoor can even keep its doors open over the long term. Should you invest $1,000 in Opendoor Technologies right now?
