42 Fast Buds Evolves: New Logo, Same Rebel Spirit
LOS ANGELES, June 30, 2025 /CNW/ -- For over a decade, the iconic 42 Fast Buds logo-a bold cannabis leaf paired with the number 42-was much more than a design. It was a symbol of rebellion, innovation, and commitment to the cannabis movement. But times have changed, and so has the world around us. Now, 42 Fast Buds is entering a new chapter with a reimagined visual identity-one that reflects its evolution, protects its community, and paves the way for the future.
Why Change the Logo?
While the cannabis leaf has always represented the culture, it has also brought unintended consequences. In several countries, wearing a logo with a visible cannabis symbol can result in serious issues-from authorities stops to, in extreme cases, arrest for what's considered "drug propaganda." Members of the 42 Fast Buds team have personally experienced this, and it was time to act.
Social media added fuel to the fire. Over the years, accounts were shadowbanned, content was flagged or removed, and reach was throttled-all because of the imagery tied to our logo.
The message was clear: it was time to evolve.
A New Philosophy
The new logo strips away the obvious and leans into subtlety. Minimalist and discreet, it represents the philosophy of "if you know, you know." Those who are part of the community will recognize it instantly. Those who aren't-won't.
The logo also introduces a clever twist-literally. The numbers are flipped upside down, symbolizing how 42 Fast Buds has consistently challenged norms and pushed boundaries in cannabis breeding.
The updated design is made to be worn with pride, in signature styles: off-white on black, black on off-white, and always upside down.
The #1 Autoflower Breeder, Now Revolutionizing Photoperiods
In just 10 years, 42 Fast Buds went from newcomer to global leader in autoflower cannabis genetics-competing against brands with 25+ years of head start and surpassing them through sheer quality, creativity, and innovation. Now, a new frontier begins. This year, 42 Fast Buds has launched its first photoperiod strains, starting with a carefully curated lineup of five exceptional genetics: Rainbow Melon, Papaya Sherbet, Gorilla Melon, and more.
Already, the limited 2025 editions of Lemon Cherry Runtz and Papayton are making waves across international markets, igniting a revolution among photoperiod growers.
What Remains Unchanged
The logo has changed. The scope has expanded. But the mission remains the same: To push boundaries, create the world's finest cannabis genetics, and support a global community of passionate growers. This is the future of 42 Fast Buds-cleaner, bolder, and still unapologetically rebellious.

Energy Fuels' Pinyon Plain Uranium Mine Continues to Outperform
The Company mined 638,700 pounds of uranium from its Pinyon Plain mine in Arizona during the 2 nd quarter of 2025, cementing its place as one of the top new uranium mines in the world. DENVER, July 1, 2025 /CNW/ - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements (" REEs"), and other critical minerals, is pleased to announce that its Pinyon Plain uranium mine in Arizona continues to significantly exceed previous production estimates. During June 2025, the Company mined 230,661 pounds of U 3 O 8 from the Pinyon Plain mine, resulting in 638,700 total pounds of U 3 O 8 mined in Q2-2025. These elevated mining rates are mainly driven by the high uranium grades at Pinyon Plain which averaged 3.51% U 3 O 8 during the month of June 2025 and 2.23% U 3 O 8 during the second quarter. Mark S. Chalmers, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated: "Pinyon Plain is proving to be a truly exceptional U.S. uranium mine. In my nearly 50-year history in the uranium industry, I have not seen any other U.S. mine like Pinyon Plain. Production and drill results to date indicate that it will be the highest-grade uranium deposit to be mined in the U.S. over the past 30 years, and I believe it is likely to be one of the highest-grade uranium deposits mined in U.S. history. We also believe that increased uranium production is very likely to result in lower unit production costs, which would positively impact our bottom line. In addition, there remains significant additional exploration potential, as the Company is only currently mining approximately 25% of the vertical extent of the prospective ore zone, and recent exceptional drill results in the Juniper zone highlight the potential for additional discovery." The Company further notes that during Q2-2025, Energy Fuels sold 50,000 pounds of U 3 O 8 on the spot market for an average price of $77.00 per pound. In addition, due to exceptional production from the Company's uranium mines and White Mesa Mill (the only producing conventional uranium mill in the U.S.), the Company expects to complete increasing levels of uranium sales over the next few quarters, including 140,000 pounds of U 3 O 8 in Q3 and 160,000 pounds of U 3 O 8 in Q4 under its existing portfolio of long-term utility contracts. In 2026, the Company expects to sell between 620,000 and 880,000 pounds of U 3 O 8 under its existing long-term contracts. The Company also expects to continue to make opportunistic sales of U 3 O 8 in 2025 and 2026 and to potentially enter into new long-term sales contracts for its increased U 3 O 8 production.

Kapostasy, PG, Registered Member SME and Vice President, Technical Services for the Company, who is a "Qualified Person" as defined in S-K 1300 and National Instrument 43-101.
