October 1, 2025 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z) (“Century Lithium” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the development and progress of Century Lithium’s wholly owned lithium project, Angel Island, located in Nevada, USA. The achievements include Angel Island’s inclusion in the FAST-41 Transparency Dashboard process, and the completion and submission of all required baseline environmental studies to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”).
“Angel Island’s addition to the FAST-41 Transparency program is a significant milestone for Century Lithium,” said Bill Willoughby, CEO of Century Lithium. “It signals strong federal interest in advancing secure domestic lithium supply and provides greater permitting certainty to our stakeholders and future project partners.”
In August 2025, Angel Island was formally designated as a FAST-41 Transparency project under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, a US federal initiative designed to improve the transparency, coordination, and timeliness of the federal environmental review and permitting process. This designation reflects Angel Island’s strategic importance in supporting the US critical minerals supply chain and strengthens federal agency coordination under the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) process.
Also in August, the Company closed a $4.7 million LIFE offering, which will fund the completion of an updated Feasibility Study and ongoing permitting efforts for Angel Island. The updated Feasibility Study will reflect the most current project data, including optimization of Angel Island’s lithium recovery process, and will provide the technical information supporting the Plan of Operations (“PoO”) leading into the NEPA process.
Century Lithium has completed all required environmental baseline studies to begin Angel Island’s NEPA permitting process. These studies span a range of biological, cultural, water, and land use resources and will be used by the BLM to support the Company’s upcoming PoO submission and the subsequent NEPA analyses. Completion of these studies was a critical prerequisite to entering the NEPA review phase and positions Angel Island for timely progression through the permitting process.
With Angel Island part of the FAST-41 Transparency program, funding for the updated Feasibility Study and permitting secured, and baseline studies completed, Century Lithium has further derisked Angel Island. The Company is now focusing its efforts on the next critical steps of permitting that will boost Angel Island’s visibility in the search for strategic investors, offtake partners, and government funding opportunities.
ABOUT CENTURY LITHIUM CORP.
Century Lithium Corp. is an advanced-stage lithium company, focused on developing its wholly owned lithium project, Angel Island in Esmeralda County, Nevada, which hosts one of the largest sedimentary lithium deposits in the United States.

Estimated Annual Revenue From Contracts Signed In The Third Quarter of 2025 To Activate Idle Facilities Increases to $325 Million
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE: CXW) (“CoreCivic”) announced today that it has been awarded a new contract under an Intergovernmental Services Agreement (“IGSA”) between the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (“OKDOC”) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) to resume operations at the Company’s 2,160-bed Diamondback Correctional Facility, a facility that has been idle since 2010.
The new contract commences on September 30, 2025, for a term of five years, and may be extended through bilateral modification. The agreement provides for a fixed monthly payment plus an incremental per diem payment based on detainee populations. Total annual revenue once the facility is fully activated is expected to be approximately $100 million. We expect to begin receiving detainees in the first quarter of 2026, with the full ramp estimated to be complete in the second quarter of 2026.
Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to expand our relationship with OKDOC while providing ICE with critical infrastructure capacity at our Diamondback Correctional Facility. While this facility has been idle since 2010, we have made investments to help ensure a seamless reactivation in the event of a new contract. Further, we expect to invest an additional $13 million over the next several quarters for renovations requested by ICE.”
Patrick D. Swindle, CoreCivic’s President and Chief Operating Officer, added, “Including the new contract awards at three of our other facilities previously announced during the third quarter of 2025, we have signed new contracts aggregating 6,353 beds across our four facilities, all of which were idle at the beginning of the year, with approximately $325 million of annual revenue once the facilities are fully activated. Reactivating the Diamondback facility is another step towards realizing the growth potential of the Company.”

ATLANTA, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot Inc. (Nasdaq: BTM) (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and leading fintech company, today announced certain preliminary financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

This press release and any oral statements made in connection herewith include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact, and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expectations of plans, business strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance, including our growth strategy and ability to increase deployment of our products and services, our ability to strengthen our financial profile, and worldwide growth in the adoption and use of cryptocurrencies. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “anticipate,” “appears,” “approximately,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “designed,” “effect,” “estimate,” “evaluate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “initiative,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,“ ”plan,“ ”potential,“ ”priorities,“ ”project,“ ”pursue,“ ”seek,“ ”should,“ ”target,“ ”when,“ ”will,“ ”would,” or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. In making these statements, we rely upon assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future events or financial results. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond our control.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of our projected financial information; future global, regional or local economic and market conditions; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations; our ability to manage future growth; our ability to develop new products and services, bring them to market in a timely manner and make enhancements to our platform; the effects of competition on our future business; our ability to issue equity or equity-linked securities; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; and those factors described or referenced in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect our expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our assessments to change.
We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where we are expressly required to do so by law. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring expenses, share-based compensation, expenses related to the PIPE financing and miscellaneous cost adjustments. Such items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. Bitcoin Depot believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Bitcoin Depot’s results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of Bitcoin Depot’s business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measurement used internally by management to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluating performance and performing strategic and financial planning. However, you should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Bitcoin Depot’s financial results, and further, that Bitcoin Depot may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating this measure. Bitcoin Depot primarily relies on GAAP results and relies on Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP measures on a supplemental basis. No such measure should be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP and may not be indicative of Bitcoin Depot’s historical or future operating results. Bitcoin Depot’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate such measures in the same fashion. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on such measures. Due to some of the information excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA calculation being non-ascertainable or non-accessible until the financial close is complete, Bitcoin Depot is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures is included.

Swedish autonomous trucking company Einride has raised approximately $100 million in its latest funding round, attracting investment from firms including EQT Ventures and quantum computing company IonQ. The company did not disclose its current valuation.
Einride said the funding will be used to scale deployment of its electric self-driving trucks, advance its autonomous technology, and expand its customer base across Europe and the United States. The move comes as interest in autonomous freight solutions continues to grow, driven by the potential to reduce transportation costs, improve efficiency, and lower emissions.
Founded in 2016, Einride is part of a new wave of companies developing self-driving freight technology aimed at revolutionizing long-haul logistics. Unlike autonomous passenger vehicles, self-driving trucks typically operate on fixed routes between defined points, often along highways, which reduces complexity and regulatory challenges. By avoiding intersections, pedestrians, and dense urban traffic, companies like Einride can focus on perfecting the technology for predictable, high-volume freight operations.
Einride’s trucks are fully electric and remotely monitored, combining autonomous driving with digital fleet management systems. The company emphasizes sustainability, noting that its electric trucks produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them an attractive solution for companies seeking to decarbonize their supply chains.
The autonomous trucking market has seen significant investment in recent years. According to industry analysts, autonomous freight could dramatically reduce operating costs while increasing safety on long-haul routes. However, the sector still faces regulatory hurdles, particularly regarding safety standards, driverless operation on public highways, and liability in the event of accidents.
Einride has already built a notable track record with several high-profile clients. In 2021, it raised $110 million from investors such as Maersk’s venture capital arm and Singapore state investor Temasek, the same year it expanded into the U.S. market. Its client roster includes GE Appliances, Swedish vegan milk maker Oatly, and tire manufacturer Bridgestone, all of which rely on Einride’s technology for efficient and sustainable freight transport.
The company is also actively developing its digital freight platform, which allows clients to monitor and optimize their logistics operations in real time. By integrating autonomous trucks with advanced fleet management software, Einride aims to provide a fully connected, end-to-end solution for companies looking to modernize their supply chains.
With this latest funding, Einride plans to accelerate the rollout of its fleet and expand research and development efforts, particularly in autonomous navigation, safety systems, and battery efficiency. As the demand for greener and more efficient logistics grows, Einride positions itself at the forefront of a transformative shift in freight transportation.

An Offering. Bit Digital is offering $135 million of convertible notes. The deal is upsized from an original $100 million. Net proceeds from the offering will be used primarily to purchase Ethereum, and may be used for general corporate purposes, including potential investments, acquisitions, and other business opportunities. The capital raise continues management’s goal of becoming a major Ethereum treasury company, in our view.
Details. The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will accrue interest at a rate of 4.00% per year, payable semiannually in arrears. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2030. The initial conversion rate will be 240.3846 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $4.16 per ordinary share and represents a conversion premium of 30% above the last reported sale price of the ordinary shares on September 29, 2025, which was $3.20).

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), one of the world’s most recognized video game publishers, is set to go private in a record-breaking $55 billion transaction led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), Silver Lake Management, and Affinity Partners. The deal, valued at $210 per share in cash, marks the largest leveraged buyout in history and underscores the growing influence of Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds in global entertainment and technology.
Months before the transaction was finalized, Jared Kushner, founder of Affinity Partners and son-in-law to former President Donald Trump, played a behind-the-scenes role connecting Electronic Arts to PIF. Affinity, which manages about $5.4 billion in assets backed by Saudi, Emirati, and Qatari investors, will hold a minority stake in the deal, while PIF will secure a controlling interest. JPMorgan Chase is backing the agreement with a $20 billion loan facility.
For EA, the move into private ownership comes at a time of intensifying competition in the gaming industry. As rivals consolidate and diversify into esports, mobile, and immersive digital experiences, EA gains access to deep-pocketed partners willing to finance ambitious growth. The backing from PIF aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy, which seeks to diversify the kingdom’s economy and establish the country as a hub for video games and esports.
The deal, however, is not without hurdles. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) must review the takeover to assess potential national security implications of foreign ownership. While the Biden administration previously subjected Middle Eastern investment to heightened scrutiny, the Trump administration has signaled a more accommodating approach, developing a fast-track review process for allied nations. Approval outcomes could include unconditional clearance, approval with restrictions, or an outright block — though expectations are that the deal will move forward.
Industry observers note that the buyout has far-reaching implications beyond gaming. It highlights how sovereign wealth funds are increasingly shaping global dealmaking, moving from passive equity stakes into direct ownership of high-profile consumer brands. PIF’s growing presence across sports, media, and entertainment reflects a broader strategy to integrate cultural and lifestyle industries into its investment portfolio, thereby extending its soft power internationally.
For Affinity Partners, the EA deal marks its highest-profile transaction to date. Having received its initial $2 billion backing from PIF in 2021, Affinity has mostly targeted smaller growth-stage companies in health tech and consumer industries. Participation in the EA transaction elevates its visibility and underscores the firm’s ability to leverage political and business networks in securing marquee opportunities.
If approved, the buyout could reshape the landscape of video gaming. EA, known for its flagship sports franchises like FIFA (now EA Sports FC), Madden NFL, and NHL, would have the financial support to expand further into live-service platforms, esports, and emerging technologies such as cloud-based gaming. With sovereign capital driving this pivot, the transaction represents not only a milestone in gaming M&A, but also a signal of how global capital flows are redrawing the boundaries between technology, politics, and entertainment.
Tamboran Resources Corporation (NYSE: TBN, ASX: TBN) has agreed to buy Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) in a transaction that will combine roughly 2.9 million net prospective acres across the Beetaloo Basin and create a pro-forma company with a market capitalization above US$500 million. The deal, structured as a Plan of Arrangement, will see Tamboran issue about 6.54 million Tamboran shares and pay US$23.7 million in cash for Falcon’s subsidiaries. Falcon shareholders are expected to own about 26.8% of the enlarged business upon closing, which is targeted for the first quarter of 2026 subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.
Strategically, the acquisition strengthens Tamboran’s working interest in the Phase 2 Development Area to roughly 80.6% ahead of an ongoing farmout process. The transaction also aligns Tamboran more closely with Daly Waters Energy across key EPs and brings a larger contiguous footprint across the Beetaloo depocenter. On a per-acre basis, the deal values Falcon’s assets at roughly US$169 per acre — slightly below Tamboran’s implied acreage valuation — making the transaction accretive on a headline basis.
What makes the tie-up significant for the wider industry is scale. Unconventional gas projects are capital intensive and require sizeable, contiguous acreage to attract majors and strategic farm-in partners. By consolidating acreage and increasing operator control over Phase 2, Tamboran is positioning itself to negotiate more favorable farmout terms, accelerate pilot development, and de-risk timelines for potential midstream and liquefaction projects, including the company’s proposed NTLNG concept at Middle Arm.
The move reflects broader sector trends in Australia and global upstream markets. As investors and partners demand clearer development pathways and lower execution risk, consolidation has become a common strategy: fewer operators with larger positions can pool technical expertise, reduce unit costs, and present more bankable project packages to capital providers. That dynamic is especially relevant in basins like Beetaloo where regulatory scrutiny, infrastructure needs and environmental permitting add layers of complexity that favor scale and experienced operators.
The acquisition also has ripple effects for service providers, regional supply chains and local communities. Larger, multi-phase development programs typically generate sustained demand for drilling services, completions crews, pipelines and processing contractors — supporting jobs and local procurement over longer horizons than single-well campaigns. Conversely, the sector remains sensitive to commodity price swings and permitting timelines; successful farmouts and access to capital remain critical near-term catalysts.
From a capital markets perspective, the consolidation could enhance Tamboran’s visibility with institutional investors and potential partners by simplifying ownership of the basin’s core acreage. That said, the deal requires customary approvals — including court and shareholder votes and Australian regulatory consents — and outcomes of the farmout process will be key to demonstrating commercial viability and securing further investment.
In short, the Tamboran-Falcon combination is more than a portfolio tweak: it is a strategic consolidation aimed at creating the scale and operating leverage needed to move the Beetaloo from pilot stage toward commercial development. For market watchers, the next milestones to monitor are the farmout announcements, regulatory clearances, and any near-term pilot results that will determine whether the enlarged Tamboran can translate acreage control into funded development.
