All statements, other than historical facts, that address activities that Viper assumes, plans, expects, believes, intends or anticipates (and other similar expressions) will, should or may occur in the future, the benefits of the merger between Viper and Sitio and Viper's future financial performance following the merger, Viper's strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. When used herein, the words 'may,' 'could,' 'believe,' 'anticipate,' 'intend,' 'estimate,' 'expect,' 'project' and similar expressions and the negative of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. The forward-looking statements are based on Viper's management's current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events.
Factors that could cause the outcomes to differ materially include (but are not limited to) the following: Viper's ability to successfully integrate Sitio's and Viper's businesses and technologies; the risk that the expected benefits and synergies of the merger between Viper and Sitio may not be fully achieved in a timely manner, or at all; the risk that Viper will not be able to retain and hire key personnel; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the merger between Viper and Sitio, the response of business partners and retention as a result of the merger; Viper's ability to finance the combined company on acceptable terms or at all; uncertainty as to the long-term value of Viper's common stock; the diversion of Viper's management's time on transaction-related matters; and those risks described in Viper's periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'), including in Item 1A of Viper's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025, subsequent Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other filings Viper makes with the SEC, which can be obtained free of charge on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov and Viper's website at www.viperenergy.com/investors/overview.

PROCEPT BioRobotics (PRCT) Outlook Adjusted as System Replacement Forecasts Shift
PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation (NASDAQ:PRCT) ranks among the . On August 7, Wells Fargo maintained its Overweight rating on PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation (NASDAQ:PRCT) but reduced its price target from $75 to $58. The change follows management's announcement that it no longer anticipates any system replacements in the second half of 2025, reversing earlier projections of roughly 10 replacements this year. Given that the majority of its installed base is only three years old, Wells Fargo pointed out that PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation (NASDAQ:PRCT) has overstated the need for replacements, even though the company forecasts system life to be five to seven years. The firm currently projects 10 replacements at an average selling price of $350,000 for 2026 and expects PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation (NASDAQ:PRCT) management to discuss its replacements and trade-in strategy when delivering guidance for the upcoming year. PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation (NASDAQ:PRCT) is a commercial-stage company that focuses on urology surgical robotics systems. The company's flagship product, the AquaBeam Robotic System, is a cutting-edge image-guided device intended for minimally invasive urologic procedures. While we acknowledge the potential of PRCT to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

NexMetals Drills 19.40 Metres of 3.93% CuEq Including 4.02% CuEq Over 13.55 Metres Showing Continuity of High-Grade Mineralization in the Expansion of the Selebi North Deposit
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2025) - NexMetals Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXM) (NASDAQ: NEXM) (the "Company" or "NEXM") reports assay results from an additional drill hole successfully intersecting high-grade mineralization at the Selebi North Underground ("SNUG") deposit. Drill hole SNUG-25-189 was designed to test the continuity of mineralization and confirms a significant extension of the South Limb and N2 mineralization. Highlights Drill Hole SNUG-25-189: intersected South Limb and N2 Limb (Figure 1) South Limb: 4.90 metres of 4.39% CuEq (0.73% Cu, 1.77% Ni)N2 Limb: 19.40 metres of 3.93% CuEq (1.05% Cu, 1.40 % Ni)Including: 13.55 metres of 4.02% CuEq (0.74% Cu, 1.60% Ni) Recent results confirm that the mineralization continues at greater depths, strengthening confidence in the size and continuity of the deposit. Drilling is ongoing to evaluate the strike extent of this new mineralization, with assay results pending for SNUG-25-191, which intersected mineralization in South Limb. SNUG-25-192 currently in progress. Figure 1: Location of drill holes relative to the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate and underground infrastructure. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Morgan Lekstrom, CEO of the Company, commented: "Drilling continues to highlight consistent high-grade copper, nickel, and cobalt mineralization extending past the limits of the 2024 resource, reinforcing the potential for further expansion. These next holes including drill hole 189, are designed to evaluate the lateral extent of this mineralization and tie the datasets together, with the goal of increasing both the size and confidence of the deposit. Drilling is ongoing, and this release represents the first results from that program." Assay results have been received and reported below in Table 1 and drill hole collar details are provided in Table 2. Assays are pending for all other drill holes described herein. The various mineralized zones have been historically mined and subsequently named N2 Limb, N3 Limb and South Limb to demarcate their location on the folded mineralized horizon. Additional drilling is needed to properly determine true width of mineralization on each limb and define the folded mineralization.
