  • GridAI Technologies Corp. Identifies Amp Z as Previously Announced Stealth Hyperscaler AI Data Center Developer

    GridAI software platform to orchestrate power across Amp Z’s Planned Portfolio of 5GW+ of AI Data Center Campuses

    BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 4, 2026 / GridAI Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:GRDX) (“GridAI” or the “Company”) today announced Amp Z (“Amp Z”) as the previously disclosed stealth-mode hyperscaler artificial intelligence (AI) data-center developer referenced in the Company’s November 2025 Letter of Intent announcement.

    Today’s announcement provides additional clarity regarding the previously disclosed relationship and expands upon the strategic scope of the collaboration, as the parties continue their progress toward commercial agreement in the near term.

    Amp Z is a rapidly growing developer of integrated energy and AI infrastructure projects targeting hyperscale, neo-cloud, and enterprise tenants.

    Expanding a Previously Announced Strategic Relationship
    As first disclosed in November 2025, GridAI entered into an LOI to provide energy orchestration services for a stealth hyperscale AI infrastructure developer. Under the LOI, GridAI is expected to serve as the energy orchestration and optimization platform across Amp Z’s planned portfolio of AI data center campuses, expected to be 5GW+ over the next 5-10 years across multiple campuses in North America.

    GridAI’s role centers on coordinating onsite and grid-connected energy resources – including battery energy storage, on-site and distributed generation, renewable integration, and grid interconnection – into a unified operating system designed to help data centers accelerate speed-to-power, operate more reliably, and optimize cost and carbon at scale.

    Amp Z’s development strategy focuses on delivering GW-scale, powered turnkey campuses designed for blue-chip hyperscale AI compute tenants, addressing rapidly growing integrated power and digital infrastructure demand driven by AI workloads.

    Aligning AI Growth with National Energy Policy Direction
    The collaboration reflects emerging U.S. federal policy priorities encouraging large new electricity consumers – particularly AI data centers – to deploy onsite, tenant-funded energy infrastructure that accelerates development while protecting utility ratepayers.

    GridAI’s orchestration platform is designed to enable privately financed data center campuses to operate as responsible grid participants, allowing facilities to participate in demand response and load flexibility programs that reduce peak system stress and support broader consumer affordability. By coordinating onsite generation, grid power, battery storage, and market participation, GridAI helps ensure new AI data center campuses contribute positively to grid stability rather than adding unmanaged and costly load growth.

    Creating Long-Term Operating Revenue
    Consistent with the Company’s previously communicated business strategy, GridAI’s engagement with Amp Z will generate recurring operating revenue tied to the long-term performance and dispatchability of deployed campuses.

    Rather than relying solely on one-time development activity, GridAI’s role continues throughout facility operations, with anticipated revenue streams beginning with ongoing software platform orchestration fees and also including energy performance optimization payments over the life of each data center campus.

    This model positions GridAI as an ongoing operating partner supporting both infrastructure investors and hyperscale tenants.

    Executive Commentary
    Marshall Chapin, Chief Executive Officer of GridAI Corp., said, “Today’s announcement unveils the strategic relationship we first introduced last November. Amp Z represents the exact type of forward-thinking AI infrastructure developer our orchestration platform was built to support – one that recognizes power strategy is now central to world-class data center development.”

    Noting recently announced federal policy relating to AI data center growth, Chapin further added, “As AI demand accelerates, policymakers and electric grid operators increasingly expect hyperscale growth to be paired with privately funded energy solutions that protect the average consumer. GridAI provides the orchestration layer that allows these campuses to scale quickly while operating as good corporate citizens in the modern electric grid.”

    About GridAI Technologies Corp.
    GridAI Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:GRDX). GridAI’s energy orchestration platform is designed to accelerate deployment of power-intensive AI data centers. The Company integrates distributed energy resources, storage, and grid participation strategies into a unified operating platform that improves reliability, lowers energy costs, and supports responsible infrastructure growth.

  • Eagle Plains Intersects Mineralization in Step-out Holes at George Lake Critical Metals Project, Saskatchewan

    CRANBROOK, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / March 4, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) (“EPL” or “Eagle Plains”) is pleased to report that two of the three holes planned for the 2026 diamond drilling program have been completed at the George Lake Project, northeast Saskatchewan. Both of the holes successfully intersected the George Lake Zn/Pb deposit horizon, with the deepest 2026 intersection to date approximately 208m vertically below the deepest historical intercept. Analytical results are pending for both holes. Preliminary interpretation of the 2026 drilling, along with historical results, indicates that mineralization remains open down-dip and along strike.

    The 2026 drill targeting is driven by results from geophysical and technical work, paired with advanced interpretation. The holes were located to test for down dip extensions of the prospective sedimentary exhalative (sedex) stratigraphy, over a strike length of 385m. The program was conducted by TerraLogic Exploration Inc. of Cranbrook, BC under the direction of Kerry Bates, P.Geo., Exploration Manager for Eagle Plains. The drill contractor was New Age Drilling Solutions.

    The George Lake deposit horizon is characterized by significant critical metal mineralization over a broad strike length of approximately 8.1 kilometers. The source of this mineralization has never been established, and forms the basis for Eagle Plains’ continuing exploration work.

    George Lake is one of the projects included in a formal Exploration Agreement between Eagle Plains and the Ya’thi Néné Lands and Resource Office (“YNLR”), representing the Athabasca Denesułiné First Nations of Hatchet Lake, Black Lake, and Fond du Lac, the Northern Hamlet of Stony Rapids, and the Northern Settlements of Uranium City, Wollaston Lake and Camsell Portage. YNLR has been providing technical support for the program.

    The project is also eligible for the Saskatchewan Targeted Mineral Exploration Incentive (TMEI), which may provide funding of up to $150,000 towards drilling-related program costs.

The mineralized horizon was intersected approximately 208m downdip from GL-21, the closest hole on the section and one of the deepest holes historically drilled at the deposit.

    Drill-hole GL26002, an 200m step-out to the southwest of GL26001, undercut historic drillholes GL08-01: 57.90m (189.2-247.1m) @ 2.69% Zn/0.41% Pb including 6.0m (220.1-226.1m) @ 5.37% Zn/0.64% Pb) and GL-25: 42.7m (237.7-280.4m) @ 3.09% Zn/0.36% Pb including 10.7m (239.3-250.0) @ 5.38% Zn /0.81% Pb). The mineralized zone has a length of 49m from 468-517m, with disseminated and stringer sphalerite associated with galena, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. The clean white/grey quartzite host has strong pervasive silicification. The mineralized horizon was intersected approximately 171m downdip from GL-25, the closest hole on the section and one of the deepest holes historically drilled at the deposit.

    The current drill-hole, GL26003, is a 185m step-out to the northeast of GL26001, designed to undercut historic drillholes GL08-08B and GL08-03 (40.0m (221.5-261.5m) @ 1.80% Zn/0.23% Pb including 7.00m (252.5-259.5m) @ 5.23% Zn/1.00% Pb).

    Detailed reporting will be completed when all geochemical results have been received and interpreted.

    All drill indicated intercepts as reported in this news release are measured along core length and true thickness is yet to be determined.

    About the George Lake Project

    The fully permitted 6868 ha George Lake project is located 280km north of La Ronge, Saskatchewan. The project has excellent access and is located on a recently completed highway connecting Saskatchewan Highway 905 to the community of Wollaston Lake. Eagle Plains holds a 100% interest in claims comprising the property, subject to a 2% royalty held in favour of Summit Royalties Ltd., 1% of which can be bought back by Eagle Plains for $1,000,000.

    See George Lake Project Information and Map here

    George Lake Project Highlights

    • 4,131m of historical drilling completed in 22 holes at the deposit, with the best drill holes returning 57.9m grading 2.65% Zn and 0.41% Pb (including 13.5m grading 4.36% Zn and 0.76% Pb) (DDH GL08-01) and 47.8m grading 4.03% Zn and 0.44% Pb (including 8.0m grading 6.96% Zn and 01.42% Pb) (DDH GL08-02) (SMAF 64E05 0033);

    • George Lake Deposit comes to surface and has dimensions of approximately 35m width x 800m length, and is open to depth and along strike;

    • Potential for discovery of extensions of existing mineralization and other discrete mineralization elsewhere on the property;

    The property overlies 13 Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (“SMDI”) occurrences including the George Lake Zn Deposit. Zinc and lead mineralized boulders were discovered in the George Lake area in 1965 which led Falconbridge Nickel Mines to acquire a large land position in the area, resulting in a 34-hole diamond drill program in 1969-70 which defined the George Lake deposit. The deposit contains sedimentary-exhalative (“sedex”) style mineralization, with a higher-grade core of >5% Zn.

    Some of the above results were taken directly from the SMDI descriptions and assessment reports (SMAF) filed with the Saskatchewan government. Management cautions that historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person, but form a basis for ongoing work on the subject properties. All drill indicated intercepts as reported in this news release are measured along core length and true thickness is yet to be determined.

  • SMX’s Gold-Traceability Technology Emerges as a Stabilizing Force Amid Global Uncertainty

    NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / March 4, 2026 / As geopolitical tensions, inflation, currency instability, and supply‑chain disruptions continue to escalate, global markets are once again turning to gold as a trusted store of value. Yet even as gold plays a critical role in economic security, the industry faces long‑standing challenges around transparency, authentication, and responsible sourcing. SMX (Security Matters), a global leader in advanced material‑traceability technologies, is uniquely positioned to address these challenges through its proven molecular‑marking and digital‑tracking platform.

    Gold has historically been relied upon as a hedge against market volatility, but the current environment has amplified concerns around provenance, cross‑border movement, and the risk of counterfeit or illicitly sourced material entering circulation. The need for enhanced trust across the entire gold value chain has never been greater.

    A Trusted Technology for an Unsteady World

    SMX’s patented molecular‑marker system embeds a permanent, tamper‑proof signature into the gold itself at the mining, refining, recycling, or minting stage. Because the marker becomes part of the material, it cannot be separated, erased, or falsified. Combined with SMX’s digital blockchain‑based tracking system, this creates a single, unbroken chain of custody from extraction to end product.

    This architecture delivers four critical benefits in today’s climate:

    • Authenticity assurance
      With geopolitical instability driving demand for safe‑haven assets, the risk of fraudulent or adulterated gold entering the market increases. SMX enables instant verification of authenticity, helping financial institutions, refiners, and central banks maintain the integrity of their reserves.

    • Transparent supply chains
      Investors, regulators, and consumers are demanding more visibility into where gold comes from and how it moves across borders. SMX brings end‑to‑end traceability, reducing opacity in an industry that has traditionally been difficult to monitor.

    • Regulatory confidence
      Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are tightening standards related to conflict minerals, anti‑money‑laundering rules, and ethical sourcing. SMX’s technology supports compliance by providing verifiable data on origin and material flow.

    • Market stabilization
      The ability to prove authenticity and provenance reduces uncertainty premiums-those rapid swings caused by fear, speculation, or unknowns within the supply chain. More trustworthy gold translates to more stable global markets.

    Reducing Volatility Through Verified Truth

    International gold markets are heavily influenced by political shocks, sanctions, trade restrictions, and currency fluctuations. When confidence dips, volatility spikes. SMX’s technology counters this by reinforcing the reliability of the asset itself.

    By eliminating ambiguity around provenance, it reduces the risk profile associated with global trade.
    By authenticating recycled gold, it supports a circular economy less exposed to geopolitical disruptions affecting mining operations.
    By increasing the transparency of reserves, it helps central banks and institutions make more strategic decisions.

    At a time when the world is grappling with fractured supply chains and rising geopolitical risk, confidence in the physical material becomes a form of economic resilience.

    Supporting Responsible and Sustainable Gold

    In addition to reinforcing stability, SMX’s traceability capabilities support the global shift toward responsible sourcing and sustainable production. Recycled gold, once difficult to distinguish from newly mined material, can now be reliably authenticated and categorized. This gives manufacturers, jewelers, and investors confidence in low‑impact, circular‑economy materials.

    As worldwide regulations tighten and ESG mandates intensify, the ability to certify ethical practices will increasingly influence the value and acceptance of gold in international trade. SMX’s system enables companies and institutions to demonstrate compliance with clarity and confidence.

    Expanded SMX Capabilities Across Industries

    While SMX plays a critical role in bringing stability and transparency to the precious‑metals sector, its traceability technologies are applied across a wide range of global industries, including:

    • critical minerals and rare‑earth elements

    • plastics and polymers

    • textiles and fashion supply chains

    • electronics and semiconductors

    • agricultural commodities

    • rubber and tire manufacturing

    • energy infrastructure materials

    • luxury goods authentication

    These applications demonstrate SMX’s ability to deliver complete material lifecycle verification from origin to reuse, helping industries strengthen security, reduce fraud, and meet growing regulatory and sustainability requirements.

    About SMX

    SMX (Security Matters) provides next‑generation traceability solutions that combine physical molecular markers with secure digital records to create transparent and verifiable material lifecycles. With applications across precious metals, critical minerals, energy, agriculture, textiles, electronics, and advanced manufacturing, SMX empowers industries and governments to authenticate materials, combat fraud, and transition toward secure and responsible supply chains.

  • Moderna Resolves Global Patent Litigation with Arbutus/Genevant

    Moderna to pay $950 million with no future royalties to resolve all global litigation; corresponding charge expected in Q1 2026

    District Court’s Section 1498 decision to be appealed to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals with potential additional payment contingent on the outcome; no accrual recorded for potential additional payment as loss is not considered probable

    2026 year-end cash and cash equivalents now expected to be in the range of $4.5 – $5.0 billion

    CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / March 3, 2026 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced that it has entered into a settlement agreement with Arbutus Biopharma Corporation and Genevant Sciences GmbH resolving all litigation worldwide, including between the parties in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

    The settlement resolves all worldwide Arbutus/Genevant litigation related to Spikevax® and mRESVIA® and provides certainty going forward for Moderna’s full infectious disease portfolio, including mNEXSPIKE®, mCOMBRIAX® and its future vaccine pipeline, with no future royalties owed. Under the terms of the agreement, Moderna will make a lump sum payment of $950 million in the third quarter of 2026.

    Under the agreement, Moderna will appeal to the Federal Circuit to argue its government-contractor immunity defense limits its liability under federal statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1498. If Moderna ultimately prevails on that issue, no further payments will be due. If, however, the Federal Circuit affirms liability under Section 1498, Moderna has agreed to make an additional payment of up to $1.3 billion within 90 days of that decision, depending on the scope of the decision. Thereafter, should Moderna ultimately prevail through further proceedings – whether en banc, at the Supreme Court, or on remand to the district court – Arbutus/Genevant will refund the full payment plus interest.

    Moderna expects to record a charge of $950 million in the first quarter of 2026 related to the settlement payment. The Company has concluded that a loss related to the pending Section 1498 proceeding is not probable, and accordingly, expects no charge to be recorded.

    As a result of the settlement, Moderna expects to end 2026 with $4.5 to $5.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents, and retains access to up to $900 million under its existing credit facility. The total projected liquidity available to the Company at the end of 2026 will be $5.4 to $5.9 billion.

    “Resolving this legacy matter from our pandemic response removes uncertainty and allows us to turn our full focus to Moderna’s exciting near-term future,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “In 2026, we will return to revenue growth and end the year with a strong balance sheet, with more than $5 billion in liquidity, as we drive toward breakeven in 2028. This year we also expect the approval of our flu plus COVID combination and standalone flu vaccines, and several highly anticipated therapeutic clinical trial results in cancer and in rare disease. We remain focused on driving growth by delivering transformative medicines to patients.”

    Moderna continues to actively enforce and defend its intellectual property portfolio, including affirmative claims against other market participants such as Pfizer and BioNTech. The Company continues to believe that assets will exceed liabilities across its portfolio of intellectual property litigation.

    “We are very grateful to NRCan and the Government of Canada for their continued support,” said CEO Dan Blondal. “These funds support us as we bring cost competitive and scalable LFP processing technology alternatives to markets, strategic partners and customers around the world, and they help us enhance our commercial offerings and supply chain solutions.”

    The funds will be directed towards process technology optimization, economic regionalization and diversification of raw material supply. The process development work will be specifically focused on iron feedstock, leveraging the Nano One R&D facility in Burnaby, British Columbia and its pilot and demonstration facilities in Candiac, Québec. Strategic shareholder Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. (“Sumitomo Metal Mining”) will contribute technical expertise, testing and external validation for the development program.

    LFP is a key cathode active material utilized in lithium battery systems, which are being deployed in grid decarbonization, defence, electric vehicle and data center applications. Access to iron feedstock is critical to the global diversification, growth and resilience of LFP supply chains. As highlighted by the International Energy Agency1, 98% of LFP cathode materials are sourced from China, with iron phosphate (“FP”) precursor production that relies mainly on a unique supply of low-cost and high-volume iron sulphate feedstock.

    The Company’s patented One-Pot process enables cost competitive input of alternative iron feedstock that can be sourced in various jurisdictions around the world, eliminating the need to source FP precursor materials while enabling diversification of LFP supply chains. The technology is being optimized for the commercial production of LFP across three core market application segments-Defence & National Security, Energy Storage Systems and Electric Vehicles-to meet a range of economic, performance and supply chain requirements.

    “We’re building a stronger, more productive, and increasingly prosperous Canada by supporting companies like Nano One that innovate here at home. This project will help scale up the production of battery materials and drive innovation in clean technologies vital to a lower-carbon future. With this investment, we are strengthening our supply chains and bolstering Canada’s economy, security, and sustainability,” said the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources.

  • Canada’s Looming Seniors Housing Crisis: Why Developers Must Act Now

    TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / March 3, 2026 / As Canada’s baby boomer generation moves en masse into its retirement years, a quiet crisis is unfolding in the country’s real estate landscape. The demand for seniors housing — from independent living communities to assisted care facilities — is outpacing supply at a rate that experts describe as alarming. For developers, investors, and policymakers alike, the window to respond is narrowing rapidly.

    Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi, President & CEO of Sky Property Group Inc., is sounding the alarm. “We talk constantly about housing affordability for young families, and that conversation is vital,” she says. “But Canada is facing an equally urgent challenge on the other end of the spectrum. Our seniors population is growing faster than our capacity to house them with dignity and choice. If we don’t treat this as the development emergency it is, we will have failed an entire generation.”

    Modern Canadian residential tower — purpose-built housing for a new generation

    The Scale of the Challenge

    According to Statistics Canada, the number of Canadians aged 65 and older is projected to nearly double by 2046, reaching approximately 10.4 million people — nearly 25% of the national population. The challenge is not simply one of numbers. It is a challenge of diversity: today’s senior wants options ranging from active lifestyle communities and co-housing arrangements to memory care and long-term care facilities.

    Canada’s current stock of purpose-built seniors housing — retirement communities, independent living suites, supportive living apartments — falls dramatically short of this trajectory. Waiting lists for subsidized long-term care beds in provinces like Ontario and British Columbia stretch into years. Private market options, while growing, remain concentrated in expensive urban cores, putting them out of reach for middle-income retirees.

    “When I look at the demographics side by side with our housing pipeline, the gap is stark,” says Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi. “The private sector cannot abdicate responsibility here. Developers who understand the coming demand curve and begin positioning their portfolios now will play a critical role — not just in building wealth, but in shaping how a generation of Canadians ages.”

    Sky Property Group Inc. — Strategic planning for Canada’s seniors housing future

    The Continuum of Care: A Development Opportunity

    The seniors housing sector is far from monolithic. Developers and investors increasingly recognize a rich spectrum of product types, each serving distinct needs and income brackets.

    Active adult communities cater to healthy, independent seniors aged 55 and older who want to downsize without sacrificing lifestyle. These communities — which might offer fitness centres, communal dining, social programming, and low-maintenance living — are emerging as one of the fastest-growing residential segments in Canada. Major metropolitan areas, including Greater Toronto, Metro Vancouver, and Calgary, have seen a surge in interest from both domestic and institutional investors.

    Independent and assisted living facilities serve seniors who require some support with daily activities but are not yet in need of full-time medical care. These facilities represent a significant market gap in mid-sized Canadian cities, where aging populations are growing but private development has lagged.

    Memory care and specialized long-term care are areas where private development intersects closely with provincial health systems. While regulation varies, there is growing appetite for public-private partnerships that can accelerate the construction of specialized facilities.

    “No single developer can — or should — try to serve every segment of this market,” Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi explains. “But every developer should be asking: where along this continuum can my organization add value, and what partnerships do I need to make that happen? At Sky Property Group, that conversation is very much underway.”

    Innovative construction methods supporting Canada’s evolving housing needs

    Policy Framework: What Governments Must Do

    The private sector cannot solve the seniors housing shortage alone. Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi is a vocal advocate for policy reform at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels to unlock seniors housing supply.

    At the federal level, she points to the need for expanded incentives under programs like the National Housing Strategy to prioritize seniors-specific construction, particularly in mid-market segments that fall between fully subsidized care and luxury retirement living.

    At the provincial level, she argues for regulatory modernization: streamlining approvals for retirement communities and assisted living facilities, which often face lengthy permitting timelines that discourage private investment.

    “Many of our cities still have zoning frameworks that were designed for a very different demographic reality,” she says. “Mixed-use seniors communities, intergenerational housing projects, adaptable units that can transition across levels of care — these need planning frameworks that encourage innovation rather than penalize it.”

    Design Innovation: Building for a Generation

    Beyond policy, Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi sees design innovation as central to the solution. She points to a new generation of seniors housing projects that are blurring the traditional lines between retirement living and mainstream residential development.

    “The seniors of 2026 and beyond are not the seniors of twenty years ago,” she says. “They are digitally literate, health-conscious, community-oriented, and they have expectations about design, amenity, and flexibility that the market is only beginning to catch up to. Buildings that treat aging as a problem to be managed will fail. Buildings that treat aging as a vibrant life stage to be supported will thrive.”

    This means features like universal design principles baked into every unit, proximity to transit and community amenities, telehealth and smart home infrastructure, and community programming that promotes social connection — one of the most significant predictors of health outcomes among seniors.

    Canadian cities are adapting to serve an aging and growing population

    A Call to the Industry

    For Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi and Sky Property Group Inc., the seniors housing conversation is not an abstract policy discussion. It is a concrete call to action for Canada’s development industry.

    “Real estate development at its best is about anticipating where people need to live and building it before the crisis point,” she says. “Canada’s seniors deserve a housing market that was ready for them. We are not there yet. The developers, investors, and policymakers who recognize this moment and respond to it will define the next chapter of Canadian real estate.”

    The clock is ticking — and for Canada’s aging population, the stakes could not be higher.
