OTCQB Venture Market (OTC): BKUCF
VANCOUVER, BC, May 22, 2025 /CNW/ - Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: BSK) (FSE: MAL2) (OTC: BKUCF), ("Blue Sky" or the"Company") is pleased to announce that it has secured drill contractors and scheduled a start date of June 1 st, 2025 for the previously announced drill programs to advance the Ivana Uranium-Vanadium Project (the " Project"). As reported on May 14, 2025, Blue Sky's joint-venture operating company Ivana Minerales S.A., (" JVCO", a partnership with Abatare Spain, S.L.U.) has planned a two-phase drilling campaign. The first phase will focus on infill drilling at the Ivana deposit, while the subsequent second phase will test satellite targets. The entire campaign is expected to last approximately five months.
Nikolaos Cacos, President & CEO of the Company stated, "Our JVCO team has procured agreements with very capable operators that will enable us to advance Ivana quickly and efficiently. We look forward to seeing the drills turning again as we move our pre-feasibility work forward."
The infill drilling campaign has been awarded to Patagonia Drilling, which will mobilize two reverse circulation (" RC") drill rigs in stages to complete the program. This program aims to achieve better definition of the known mineralized bodies and assess the potential extension of zones where mineralization remains open, particularly in the areas of greatest interest as outlined in the most recent Preliminary Economic Assessment. Patagonia Drilling is a well-established company with extensive experience in mineral exploration across Argentina and successfully conducted the most recent drilling campaign at the Project.
The second campaign, scheduled to begin immediately after the first, has been awarded to AGV Falcon Drilling. This phase will employ both RC and diamond drilling methods. AGV Falcon Drilling is a reputable company with a strong presence in Argentina and significant experience in supporting domestic mineral exploration. The objective of this campaign is to further delineate mineralization previously identified in satellite areas surrounding the Ivana Project, many of which have returned encouraging results from earlier drilling and require more detailed definition.

'(Build) The Biggest, Baddest CPU': Intel Stock (NASDAQ:INTC) Notches up Despite Ironic Twist
This might have been the unkindest cut that chip stock Intel (INTC) could have received. Sure, yesterday and its potential loss of CHIPS Act funding was a low blow, no mistake there, but it only got worse as new reports revealed that several Intel staffers were leaving Intel to do exactly what Intel would have needed them to do: build the 'biggest, baddest CPU' around. Shareholders took the news well, though, and sent shares up fractionally in Friday afternoon's trading. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Four of Intel's biggest names in research—who together had a combined experience of almost a century at Intel—departed the company in a plan to build a totally new kind of microprocessor. They will be using a kind of architecture that is completely different from Intel's, reports note, and in the process, hopefully show up their former bosses in the process. The four started their own company, called AheadComputing, and is working on an open style of architecture known as Reduced Instruction Set Computer – V, or RISC-V. The result, AheadComputing hopes, will be a processor that does fewer things than the current processor concept, but does this comparative handful of things better than the current processor does them. Essentially, reports note, the four are risking that AheadComputing—a vastly smaller company—will be able to move faster and better than Intel. Given Intel's new 'risk-averse' nature that we discovered yesterday with the 50% gross profit concept, they may not be wrong. But what has Intel missed out on in the process? Roadmapping an Uncertain Future But life goes on at Intel, reports note, and word notes that the Intel Foundry Direct Connect 2025 event is showing off its roadmaps and its partnerships. Intel Foundry, of course, is the chip manufacturing portion of Intel, and the one which has perhaps come under the most fire of late. But Intel looks to start delivering under the 18A process this year, and that should go a long way toward re-establishing Intel's dominance as a chip maker. Naturally, it is unclear as yet how much capacity 18A will have overall, and how much of that capacity can go to making other companies' chips. Early word suggests that everything is on schedule, so that will, at least, not be a problem. And with 14A and 14A-E waiting in the wings, it is entirely possible that Intel may be able to keep the streak going and come out ahead in the end. Is Intel a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on INTC stock based on two Buys, 25 Holds and four Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 34.97% loss in its share price over the past year, the average INTC price target of $21.29 per share implies 5.63% upside potential.

Weekend sampler: 3 micro-cap stocks to watch
With the TSX up by 5.7 per cent over the past month, just shy of its all-time-high, driven by a rebound in the price of oil, and the S&P 500 following suit, up by 6.8 per cent, emboldened by strong U.S. jobs data, investors are growing increasingly immune to Trump's tariff bluster. They're realizing that he's but one among many short-term headwinds, along with wars, recessions and a diversity of cultural conflicts, which stocks have proven more than capable of overcoming on their way to delivering attractive long-term returns. While financial media has a vested interest in making you worry about next quarter's earnings or the effects of a single central bank interest rate decision, fundamentals and value will always prevail in the end. This means it's always the right time to consider stocks with the potential to reward patient investors, grounded in the understanding that short-term volatility is the price of long-term gains. To this end, as you kick your feet up and kick off the well-deserved weekend, here are three fundamentally attractive micro-cap stocks for your perusing pleasure, each of them worth a deep dive towards a potential investment thanks to positive earnings per share year-over-year and evidence for keeping the profits flowing into the future. BQE Water Our first micro-cap stock pick, BQE Water (TSXV:BQE), market cap C$65.93 million, last trading at C$51 per share, specializes in water treatment and management for the mining, smelting and refining markets. Although the stock has added 363 per cent since 2020, supported by more than 100 per cent revenue and net income growth – including a strong Q1 2025 – it's down by 20 per cent year-over-year, likely discounting numerous projects near completion expected to drive growth through year-end. Olympia Financial Group Our second micro-cap stock pick, Olympia Financial (TSX:OLY), market cap C$266.57 million, last trading at C$110.78, administers self-directed registered plan accounts, corporate trusts, transfer agency services, currency exchange, global payments, private health plans and information technology services in the Canadian market. The company more than doubled revenue from C$48.62 million in 2020 to C$102.92 million in 2024, while tripling net income over the period from C$7.99 million to C$23.92 million, respectively, following this up with a steady Q1 2025 marked by a growing client base. Under the care of a long-tenured management team with 34-per-cent insider ownership, Olympia is in the midst of a multi-pronged growth plan (slide 25) to expand its established position in private markets, granting investors a data-driven thesis for meaningful gains, despite the stock adding 184 per cent since 2020. ADF Group Our final micro-cap stock to watch, ADF Group (TSX:DRX), market cap C$188.29 million, last trading at C$6.70, is a top designer and engineer of steel structures for the North American non-residential infrastructure sector. The company's over 65-year track record includes infrastructure projects spanning airports, stadiums, factories and office towers, with a current capacity to manufacture 125,000 tons of structural steel per year. If we look at ADF's past five years, we see expanding market share justified by accelerating profits. This includes revenue growth from C$172.59 million in fiscal 2021 to C$339.63 million in fiscal 2025, proven efficient by net income growth from C$6.87 million to C$56.79 million over the period. Tariff fears have since hit the stock with steep losses to the tune of 60 per cent year-over-year – most recently hampered by an increase in U.S. steel tariffs which Canada may reciprocate – with new contracts slowing and lower expected revenue and margins through the fiscal year ending January 2026. That said, the stock remains up by more than 500 per cent since 2020 – including the year-over-year loss – thanks to management's stellar operational track record. While tariff uncertainty is peaking at the moment, the high likelihood of a reasonable resolution between Canada and the U.S., given that they're commercially tied-at-the-hip, puts the profitable ADF on a path to retracing recent losses, fueled by an over C$400 million backlog as of January 2025. Should you invest in BQE Water, Olympia Financial and ADF Group today? The stocks we've discussed in this article only deserve a place in your portfolio if they match up with your financial goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. Take care to paint a clear picture of your personal financial circumstances and conduct thorough due diligence on a prospective company before putting any money to work.
