   Nextech3D.ai’s AI Event Push Builds On A Customer Base Including Google And Microsoft

   A conference organizer should be focused on bringing people together, not juggling registration systems, booth layouts, spreadsheets and disconnected data. Nextech3D.ai is developing agentic AI to simplify that work, allowing organizers to use natural language to build layouts, analyze event data and receive pricing recommendations. The opportunity starts with an existing business. Through September 23, 2026, Nextech3D.ai reported approximately $1 million in new customer contract value, 180 new customer contracts and approximately 80% software gross margins. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW • AI Event Planning: Management demonstrated AI capabilities that can create booth layouts, analyze event data and recommend pricing decisions using natural-language instructions. • 180 New Contracts: Nextech3D.ai reported approximately $1 million in new customer contract value through September 23, excluding renewals and upsells. • Established Customer Base: Gappelberg says the platforms serve more than 800 organizers and approximately 6,000 events annually, with customers including Google, Microsoft, Meta and Amgen. • Enterprise Sales Experience: New SVP of Sales Chad Prezlomski previously helped scale event technology company Splash to approximately $39 million in revenue before its acquisition by Cvent. • CEO Commitment: Gappelberg received 7,420,880 shares at $0.10 per share to settle $742,088 in accrued salary, increasing his equity exposure. STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS Nextech3D.ai is bringing AI into its Map D, Eventdex and KraftyLab ecosystem to reduce the manual work involved in planning and operating events. Gappelberg described an internal demonstration where an organizer can ask AI to create booths with specific dimensions and aisle widths, then adjust the layout around larger sponsor spaces. The system can also recommend pricing changes based on supply and demand, subject to organizer approval. The company already has customers and event workflows where these capabilities can be introduced. Prezlomski’s role is to turn that technology into larger enterprise relationships and expand existing accounts. Longer term, management envisions AI using insights from previous conferences to improve future layouts, registration and other event decisions. Customer presentations are already underway, while broader capabilities remain part of the development roadmap. CEO EVAN GAPPELBERG: “We are bringing AI into an established platform. Real customers, real workflows, real commerce.” INVESTOR TAKEAWAY Nextech3D.ai enters this next phase with approximately $1 million in new customer contract value, 180 new contracts and an established customer base. The next test is execution: converting its AI capabilities into measurable adoption, larger enterprise relationships and additional contracts. Watch the full AGORACOM interview for Gappelberg and Prezlomski’s discussion of the technology, customer opportunity and enterprise sales strategy.

   AI Needs Copper To Grow. Power Metallic’s Thanksgiving Copper Supercycle Outlook

   The AI race has investors watching NVIDIA, Google and the next generation of chipmakers. But every new data centre also needs electricity and the copper to deliver it. That physical requirement is bringing mining into a conversation long dominated by technology stocks. In this Thanksgiving AGORACOM interview, Power Metallic CEO Terry Lynch explores the copper supercycle thesis and where the company’s Nisk Project in Quebec fits. With BMO’s $8.75 per pound projection and Deutsche Bank’s $10 call framing the discussion, the central question is straightforward: Who has the copper supply necessary to support the AI infrastructure the world wants to build? WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Copper connects AI to the real world: Power delivery, high speed cabling and cooling components all require copper. Terry argues that the materials supporting the buildout deserve attention alongside the technology companies competing to win it. Supply cannot respond overnight: Terry points to years of underinvestment, challenges at existing producers and lengthy mine development timelines. Higher prices can attract capital, but turning a discovery into production still takes time. Broader funds are starting to look: Following meetings in New York, Terry says major funds are exploring smaller mining companies for additional sector exposure. He sees interest beginning to extend beyond specialist resource investors. Power Metallic is preparing for a wider audience: Terry outlines plans for a Nasdaq listing through an American depositary receipt structure, targeting mid November to mid December, subject to required filings and approvals. WHERE POWER METALLIC FITS Power Metallic brings a defined resource to that broader discussion. Its September 8 maiden resource estimate at Lion includes approximately 4.15 million tonnes of Indicated resources grading 3.86% copper equivalent, plus 601,000 tonnes of Inferred resources grading 4.01% copper equivalent. More than 85% of the resource tonnage is classified as Indicated. Copper equivalent accounts for copper alongside the deposit’s other metals. With mineralization beginning at surface and exploration continuing across approximately 330 square kilometres in Quebec, the company has an established starting point while it tests the potential for further growth. Terry’s focus is on the combination of what has already been identified and what further exploration could establish. Alongside deeper drilling, the company is using underground imaging technology to help identify future drill targets and conducting processing tests to assess how material from Lion and Nisk Main could work together.  These programs will help evaluate the project’s potential; future growth and economics remain to be demonstrated. INVESTOR TAKEAWAY The interview connects the AI investment story to the physical materials needed to support it. Terry explains why he believes copper is entering a new chapter, what he is hearing from institutional investors and how Power Metallic is advancing Nisk while seeking broader market access. Watch the full Thanksgiving AGORACOM interview for the big picture on copper, AI and Power Metallic’s place in the supercycle discussion.

   Small Cap Breaking News: Don’t Miss Today’s Top Headlines 10/07/2026

   Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:American Fusion Inc. (OTCQB: AMFN)American Fusion is restructuring up to $2.88 million of stock-based compensation obligations into long-term, lock-up Series C convertible preferred stock covering twelve officers, directors and advisors, with no cash changing hands. The move is part of a broader capital restructuring as the company works toward a national exchange uplisting and institutional financing, and it has begun transitioning its audit to PCAOB-registered MBP Global LLP. A defined conversion schedule and cleaner compensation commitments matter to investors watching the path to a senior listing.SAGA Metals Corp. (TSXV: SAGA) (OTCQX: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H)SAGA drilled 495.6 metres at 37.86% Fe2O3, 5.51% TiO2 and 0.273% V2O5 at its Radar titanium-vanadium-iron project in Labrador, including 68.2 metres at 52.95% Fe2O3, 8.57% TiO2 and 0.381% V2O5. The maiden resource drill program is now complete at 22,432 metres, the largest in company history, with 100% of holes hitting oxide mineralization. With a NI 43-101 resource estimate underway, the scale and continuity point to a potential strategic North American source of critical minerals.Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX: ELO) (OTCQX: ELRRF) (FSE: P2QM)Eloro intersected 87.10 metres grading 73.26 g/t silver and 0.18% tin, plus a near-surface 17.90 metres at 190.50 g/t silver and 0.45% tin, in expansion drilling at its Iska Iska project in southern Bolivia. The step-out holes extend high-grade silver, tin and polymetallic zones that remain open in all directions. The results support Eloro's push to expand indicated resources ahead of a planned preliminary economic assessment.Osisko Metals Inc. (TSX: OM) (OTCQX: OMZNF) (FSE: 0B51)Osisko hit 94.4 metres averaging 1.47% copper at its Gaspe Copper project in Quebec, including 5.3 metres at 8.31% copper and 51.0 g/t silver. A separate hole revealed a previously unknown copper porphyry below the E Zone, potentially a third mineralized centre in the system. Gaspe already hosts the largest undeveloped copper resource in eastern North America, so new high-grade hits and discovery upside strengthen the development case.Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) (OTCQB: VCUFF) (FSE: 97E1)Vizsla Copper intersected 21.2 metres grading 307.5 g/t silver equivalent at the AG deposit of its Palmer copper-zinc VMS project in southeast Alaska, including 7.2 metres at 438.0 g/t silver equivalent and a 1.2-metre interval at 23.58% zinc. With all three 2026 infill holes complete, the company is refining its geological model toward an updated mineral resource estimate in early 2027.Titan Mining Corporation (NYSE American: TII) (TSX: TI)Titan Mining's subsidiary Empire State Mines signed a term sheet with the U.S. Department of the Army for an Enhanced Use Lease to build a graphite processing facility on about 97 acres at Anniston Army Depot in Alabama.Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO) (OTCQB: QUEXF) (FSE: 458)Q2 Metals extended near-surface lithium at its Cisco project in Quebec's James Bay region, intersecting 134.5 metres at 1.20% Li2O from surface and a separate 101.6 metres at 1.02% Li2O that sits outside the April 2026 conceptual pit shell. With 19,521 metres drilled across 43 holes and five rigs running, the company expects to publish its inaugural preliminary economic assessment in fall 2026.Bottom Line: Today's tape was driven by standout drill results across gold, silver, copper, lithium, vanadium-titanium and uranium, alongside a striking consumer-revenue surge and strategic moves in U.S. critical-minerals supply and corporate restructuring. The common thread is small caps converting exploration and execution milestones into potential catalysts for investors.Stay ahead of the market — follow AGORACOM for more breaking small-cap news and insights.
