VANCOUVER, B.C, September 17, 2025, – Nicola Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “Nicola Mining”) is pleased to announce that it has received six Mining Lease extensions for five years from the Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals. The six Mining Lease extensions (together, “Mine Lease Extensions”), 237642 to 237647, extend its wholly-owned New Craigmont Property (the “Property”) for five years, which is located adjacent to Teck Resources Ltd.’s Highland Valley Copper, Canada’s largest copper mine,.
The Mine Lease Extensions hold significant value for the Company’s over 10,800-hectare project, which is the location of Canada’s highest grade historic copper mine.
Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola, commented, “This year we have actively conducted exploration that was not focused on skarn, but vectoring towards a porphyry system. Maintaining mine permits (M-68) and garnering Mine Lease Extensions can significantly expedite a projected moving from exploration to operation. At Nicola, we have, and will continue to, work diligently on environmental, consultation, and maintaining permits in good standing.”

Nicola’s fully permitted mill can process both gold and silver mill feed via gravity and flotation processes.
The Company owns 100% of the New Craigmont Project, a high-grade copper property, which covers an area of over 10,800 hectares along the southern end of the Guichon Batholith and is adjacent to Highland Valley Copper, Canada’s largest copper mine. The Company also owns 100% of the Treasure Mountain Property, which includes 30 mineral claims and a mineral lease, spanning an area exceeding 2,200 hectares.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates for the first time this year, reducing its benchmark rate by a quarter of a percentage point to a range of 4.00% to 4.25%. The move marks the Fed’s first policy easing since December and sets the stage for additional cuts as officials adjust to a cooling labor market and persistent inflation.
The decision, made in a split vote, reflects growing concern about slowing job growth and rising unemployment. In August, the economy added just 22,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate climbed to 4.3%. Recent revisions also showed weaker job growth in earlier months, reinforcing the case for easing monetary policy. The Fed’s quarterly “dot plot” projections now point to two more rate cuts before the end of 2025, up from earlier expectations.
The outlook among policymakers remains divided, however. The updated dot plot showed nine officials anticipating three cuts this year, six projecting just one, and a small minority envisioning either no cuts or significantly more. For 2026, the consensus is for one additional reduction.
Economic projections released alongside the decision highlight both resilience and challenges. Inflation is expected to rise 3.1% this year, unchanged from prior estimates, while GDP growth was upgraded slightly to 1.6% from 1.4%. The unemployment rate is forecast to reach 4.5% by year-end, reflecting mounting labor market softness.
The Fed’s move comes amid heightened political scrutiny. President Donald Trump has been pressing for lower interest rates, repeatedly criticizing the central bank for acting too slowly. His influence on the institution has grown, with newly confirmed governor Stephen Miran—previously a White House economic adviser—joining the board in time for this meeting. Miran favored a larger half-point cut, underscoring divisions within the Fed about how aggressively to ease policy.
At the same time, Trump has sought to reshape the central bank’s leadership. His administration attempted to remove Governor Lisa Cook, but courts have so far blocked the effort. Cook participated in this week’s meeting following rulings that found insufficient grounds for her dismissal. The legal battle over her position is expected to continue, potentially reaching the Supreme Court.
The Fed now faces the delicate task of balancing weaker labor data with inflation that remains well above its 2% target. Core consumer prices, which exclude food and energy, rose 3.1% in August, matching July’s reading and showing little progress in bringing inflation lower. This persistence complicates the Fed’s ability to cut rates quickly without risking renewed price pressures.
For financial markets, the latest move confirms expectations of a shift toward looser monetary policy. Investors had already priced in a September cut, but the signal of further easing provided an additional boost to assets that benefit from lower rates, including equities and gold. The dollar weakened following the announcement, reflecting anticipation of easier financial conditions.
As the year progresses, the central bank’s policy path will remain a focal point for markets, businesses, and households. With economic data softening and political pressures intensifying, the Fed’s challenge will be to support growth without reigniting inflation risks.

Approximately 70 million people that are eligible for treatment live in areas of the U.S. in which Lyme Disease is endemic
CHATHAM, N.J., Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company with marketed products and a pipeline of development candidates, today announced the in-licensing of worldwide rights to TNX-4800 (formerly known as mAb 2217LS)1, which is a long-acting human monoclonal antibody that targets the outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease in humans. TNX-4800 is being developed for annual seasonal use, as one subcutaneous dose administered in the Spring to protect against Lyme disease through Fall, or the entire tick season in the U.S. TNX-4800 was developed by researchers at UMass Chan Medical School, which is licensing the technology to Tonix. There are currently no FDA-approved vaccines or prophylactics to protect against Lyme Disease.
“Lyme disease remains the most common vector-borne infection in the United States and its incidence is climbing each year,”2 said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “Licensing TNX-4800 expands our infectious disease pipeline with a potentially differentiated, single-dose approach that can be given each Spring to provide protection within two days and protect through Fall, which is the entire tick season in the U.S. We believe TNX-4800’s long-acting monoclonal antibody prophylaxis could play an important role for preventing Lyme for millions of people who live, work, and vacation in regions endemic for Lyme disease. TNX-4800’s novel mechanism of blocking the maturation of Borrelia in the midgut of infected ticks is consistent with Tonix’s focus on innovation. We look forward to advancing the TNX-4800 program.”
“Preventing Lyme disease is an urgent public health priority, and more than thirty years of clinical experience confirm that monoclonal antibodies can be delivered safely and can be effective in preventing infections,” said Mark Klempner, M.D., Professor of Medicine at UMass Chan Medical School and leader of the research team that discovered and developed mAb 2217LS. “We are delighted to be collaborating with Tonix on the development of this program. TNX-4800 is a single dose and provides immediate immunity to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, which is very different from Lyme disease vaccine programs currently in development.”
Terence R. Flotte, MD, Provost, Dean and Executive Deputy Vice Chancellor of UMass Chan Medical School, said, “We are proud to partner with Tonix Pharmaceuticals to advance the development of our novel monoclonal antibody as a prophylactic for Lyme disease, which is an urgent and growing public health challenge in the United States and around the world. This collaboration reflects UMass Chan’s enduring commitment to translational research that addresses unmet medical needs, and we are excited to work with Tonix to bring forward science-driven solutions that have the potential to prevent infection and protect vulnerable populations.”
TNX-4800 is a fully human monoclonal antibody with an engineered extended half-life that targets the outer-surface protein A (OspA) on Lyme-causing Borrelia bacteria. By binding OspA, TNX-4800 blocks the maturation of Borrelia burgdorferi in the mid-gut of infected deer ticks. The mAb 2217LS1 was derived from mAb 2217 by amino acid substitutions that crystallizable fragment (Fc) domain to prolong the serum half-life. A single administration in the Spring is designed to maintain protective antibody titers for the entire tick season, providing pre-exposure prophylaxis against Lyme disease without relying on the recipient’s immune system to generate antibodies. By delivering a well-characterized antibody directly, TNX-4800 has been shown to block transmission of the major Borrelia genospecies from ticks to animals. TNX-4800 sidesteps the multidose schedules required for OspA vaccines in development3 and FDA-approved vaccines that have been withdrawn from the market due to concerns about increased risk of autoimmunity. 4 Tonix intends to advance TNX-4800 through additional clinical trials with the goal of submitting a Biologics Licensing Application (BLA).
About Lyme Disease In the United States, Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. It occurs most commonly in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and upper-Midwest regions. Lyme disease bacteria are transmitted through the bite of infected Ixodes ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Laboratory testing is helpful if used correctly and performed with FDA-cleared tests. Although many cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with antibiotics, diagnosis and treatment are often delayed or missed, and even with treatment, up to 20% of cases may progress to a Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) called “Chronic Lyme” or “Long Lyme”. Chronic Lyme is considered an Infection Associated Chronic Illness (IACI), and is a chronic, debilitating disease state characterized by joint and muscle pain, fatigue and other symptoms.5
About Borrelia Burgdorferi In infected deer ticks, Borrelia’s OspA binds to tick-gut receptor TROSPA and helps it adhere to the midgut lining. During a tick bite Borrelia downregulates OspA, upregulates OspC, and activates motility genes. Borrelia undergoes a metamorphic-like transformation becoming highly flagellated and mobile, which facilitates migration to the salivary glands and invasion of human host tissues. The mAb 2217LS blocks the metamorphic-like transformation of Borrelia in the tick’s midgut preventing transmission of the bacteria. Lyme-causing Borrelia exposed or infected individuals, rarely make antibodies against OspA which allows for people to be reinfected despite having immunity to OspC. Consequently we expect that protection against Borrelia would require annual prophylaxis.
About Monoclonal Antibody Prophylaxis Two long-acting monoclonal antibody products6,7 have won FDA approval for prophylaxis against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). AstraZeneca (in partnership with Sanofi) markets Beyfortus™ (nirsevimab) and Merck markets Enflonsia™ (clesrovimab).

TONMYA is indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
TONMYA is contraindicated:
In patients with hypersensitivity to cyclobenzaprine or any inactive ingredient in TONMYA. Hypersensitivity reactions may manifest as an anaphylactic reaction, urticaria, facial and/or tongue swelling, or pruritus. Discontinue TONMYA if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected.
With concomitant use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or within 14 days after discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor. Hyperpyretic crisis seizures and deaths have occurred in patients who received cyclobenzaprine (or structurally similar tricyclic antidepressants) concomitantly with MAO inhibitors drugs.
During the acute recovery phase of myocardial infarction, and in patients with arrhythmias, heart block or conduction disturbances, or congestive heart failure.
In patients with hyperthyroidism.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Embryofetal toxicity: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause neural tube defects when used two weeks prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk and to use effective contraception during treatment and for two weeks after the final dose. Perform a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with TONMYA to exclude use of TONMYA during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Serotonin syndrome: Concomitant use of TONMYA with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, tramadol, bupropion, meperidine, verapamil, or MAO inhibitors increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes, autonomic instability, neuromuscular abnormalities, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Treatment with TONMYA and any concomitant serotonergic agent should be discontinued immediately if serotonin syndrome symptoms occur and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. If concomitant treatment with TONMYA and other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, careful observation is advised, particularly during treatment initiation or dosage increases.
Tricyclic antidepressant-like adverse reactions: Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to TCAs. TCAs have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. If clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of TONMYA. Caution should be used when TCAs are given to patients with a history of seizure disorder, because TCAs may lower the seizure threshold. Patients with a history of seizures should be monitored during TCA use to identify recurrence of seizures or an increase in the frequency of seizures.
Atropine-like effects: Use with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic drugs.
CNS depression and risk of operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery: TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression. Concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression. Advise patients not to operate a motor vehicle or dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that TONMYA therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities.
Oral mucosal adverse reactions: In clinical studies with TONMYA, oral mucosal adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with TONMYA compared to placebo. Advise patients to moisten the mouth with sips of water before administration of TONMYA to reduce the risk of oral sensory changes (hypoesthesia). Consider discontinuation of TONMYA if severe reactions occur.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur.
Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported.
CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced.
Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced.
Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED).
Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition.
Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established.
Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.
Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.
Please see additional safety information in the full Prescribing Information.

RICHMOND, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Lucky Strike Entertainment (NYSE: LUCK) (“Lucky Strike Entertainment,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), one of the world’s premier owner/operators of location-based entertainment, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kingpin Intermediate Holdings LLC (the “Issuer”), has priced an offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.250% senior secured notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will be sold to investors at a price of 100% of the principal amount thereof and will bear an interest rate of 7.250% per annum.
The Company has also announced today that it has allocated a $1,200 million tranche of term loans (the “New Term Loan Facility”) maturing in 2032, which is expected to accrue interest at a rate of Term SOFR +3.25% per annum, stepping down to Term SOFR +3.00% per annum on terms to be set forth in final documentation. The allocated size of the New Term Loan Facility was increased from the previously announced $1,000 million.
The net proceeds of the offering of the Notes, the New Term Loan Facility, and a refinanced revolving credit facility that is expected to initially include commitments of approximately $425 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the New Term Loan Facility, the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) are expected to be used to refinance in full the Issuer’s existing term loan facilities and revolving credit facility, and to pay related fees and expenses. Any remaining net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.
The closing of the Notes offering is expected to occur on September 22, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Notes will be, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) that is a borrower or a guarantor under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Notes and the related guarantees will be secured on a first-priority basis (subject to customary exceptions) by liens on the same assets that secure the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
The foregoing transactions are subject to market and other conditions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transactions, including the Notes and/or the New Term Loan Facility, on the terms described above, or at all.
The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Solid Q2 Results. The company reported Q2 revenue of $73.2 million, modestly beating our estimate of $72.0 million, and adj. EBITDA of $6.7 million, which strongly outperformed our estimate of $0.85 million by 685%. The strong adj. EBITDA was largely driven by management’s ability to execute on its tariff mitigation strategies, resulting in an improved gross profit margin.
Mitigating tariff impacts. Importantly, the company’s gross profit margin increased 300 basis points over the prior year period. The improvement was driven by lower product costing and higher pricing, contributing a 340 basis point improvement, as well as less discounting, which resulted in a 210 basis point improvement. However, the positive margin contributions were softened by tariff and freight impacts of 170 basis points and 100 basis points, respectively.

Nvidia, the world’s leading producer of artificial intelligence chips, is facing fresh uncertainty in one of its most important markets after reports that China has instructed domestic technology firms to stop using its products. According to sources familiar with the matter, Beijing’s Cyberspace Administration has urged major players, including TikTok parent company ByteDance and e-commerce giant Alibaba, to halt purchases of Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D chips. The processors were designed specifically for China after earlier restrictions limited the sale of more advanced models.
The development marks another escalation in the ongoing technology rivalry between the United States and China. Washington has already imposed limits on the export of advanced semiconductors to China, citing national security concerns. Last month, the Trump administration struck a deal with Nvidia that allowed its H20 server chips to be sold in the country under strict conditions, with a portion of sales revenues redirected to the U.S. government. However, Beijing’s reported response suggests a determination to reduce reliance on American hardware while accelerating investment in domestic alternatives.
Nvidia has long described its business in China as unpredictable, with company leaders acknowledging the volatility of operating amid geopolitical tensions. This latest setback follows news earlier in the week that Chinese regulators have launched an antitrust investigation into Nvidia’s $6.9 billion acquisition of Mellanox, an Israeli data center networking firm. The probe highlights Beijing’s willingness to scrutinize foreign acquisitions and could add further pressure to Nvidia’s strategic plans in the region.
Despite the challenges in China, Nvidia continues to expand globally at an aggressive pace. During a high-profile U.S. state visit to the U.K., the company announced £11 billion ($15 billion) in investment toward British artificial intelligence infrastructure. The move signals Nvidia’s intention to diversify its growth beyond Asia while deepening ties with Europe’s rapidly expanding AI sector. Other major American technology companies, including Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce, have announced similar multibillion-dollar AI commitments in the U.K., reflecting broader industry momentum.
China, however, remains a key focus for the global AI market. The country’s enormous tech ecosystem, vast consumer base, and strong government backing for artificial intelligence research make it one of the most competitive environments in the world. For Nvidia, exclusion from this market could slow growth and open the door for local competitors to capture share. At the same time, U.S. policy continues to shape the availability of high-performance chips abroad, adding layers of complexity for global semiconductor leaders.
The reported ban underscores the shifting dynamics of the U.S.-China tech rivalry and how quickly geopolitical tensions can reshape business strategies. While Nvidia remains dominant in AI chip innovation, its position in China has transformed from a driver of growth to a source of risk. The coming months will determine whether the company can adapt to the changing environment and preserve its competitive edge in the face of growing political and economic headwinds.
