EVTV expands globally as Italy’s Studio Baffetti joins U.S. partner Venture Air Solutions in record-breaking deposits amid new European drone regulations
HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2025 / Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVTV) (“EVTV” or the “Company”), a U.S. manufacturer of zero-emission commercial vehicles and industrial-grade drones, today announced a landmark set of deposits for EVTV for 80 heavy capacity drones from two leading organizations – Studio di Agronomia Baffetti (headquartered in Siena, Italy), and Venture Air Solutions Inc. (Opa-Locka, Florida) – marking the next major step in EVTV’s evolution from U.S. electric vehicle innovator to a dual‑industry leader on the global stage.
This milestone coincides with the European Union’s implementation of Regulation (EU) 2019/947 and Italy’s Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazione Civile “ENAC” framework, enabling large-scale agricultural and industrial drone operations among many European countries. EVTV’s heavy capacity aircraft are now positioned to enter this newly opened market for the first time. EVTV’s manufacturing and deployment programs are compliant with Federal Aviation Administration Stage I and European Union Aviation Safety Agency/ENAC regulations for heavy capacity unmanned aircraft systems.
Global Partnerships Driving Adoption
Studio Baffetti – Led by Francesco Baffetti, Managing Partner, the company placed deposits for 40 heavy capacity drones as part of a strategic European expansion under Italy’s updated ENAC drone regulations. “With Italy and Europe moving to recognize and regulate drone-enabled precision agriculture – including targeted crop protection – our partnership with EVTV positions us at the forefront of a transformational moment. EVTV’s heavy capacity aircraft meet the new European standards for power, payload, and precision, and that’s why we’re investing heavily now,” said Francesco Baffetti, Managing Partner, Studio Baffetti.
Venture Air Solutions Inc. – Led by Jonathan Jackson, CEO, the company placed deposits for 40 heavy capacity drones to expand aerial infrastructure, inspection, and regional cargo operations. “EVTV’s heavy capacity drones are a game changer for our industry, and we expect to incorporate this force multiplier into our daily logistics protocols immediately,” commented Jonathan Jackson.
Strategic Significance
“This moment connects global manufacturing, technology, and regulation,” said Elgin Tracy, Chief Operating Officer of EVTV. “Studio Baffetti’s entry into Italy and Europe coincides perfectly with the new European Union Aviation Safety Agency and ENAC frameworks, while Venture Air is leading adoption of heavy capacity drones here in America. Together, these commitments validate EVTV as the world’s first heavy capacity drone platform ready for both American and European deployment.”

CALGARY, AB / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2025 / Tornado Infrastructure Equipment Ltd. (“Tornado” or the “Company”) (TSXV:TGH)(OTCQX:TGHLF) today announced that it has filed and is in the process of mailing its management information circular and related materials to securityholders (the “Securityholders”) in connection with its previously announced plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) involving the Company, The Toro Company (“Toro”) and Tornado Acquisition Company ULC (the “Purchaser”), an affiliate of Toro, pursuant to which, among other things, all of the issued and outstanding Class “A” common shares (the “Shares”) in the capital of the Company will be acquired by the Purchaser for cash consideration of $1.92 per Share (the “Consideration”). The circular and related materials can be accessed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or at the Company’s website at tornadotrucks.com/investor-relations/#tab-special.
Special Meeting Vote
The special meeting of Tornado’s securityholders (the “Meeting”) is to be held as on December 2, 2025, at 8:00 AM (Calgary time) at the offices of Stikeman Elliott LLP at Suite 4200, Bankers Hall West, 888 3rd Street S.W., Calgary, AB T2P 5C5. Only holders (the “Shareholders”) of Shares and holders (the “Optionholders”) of options to purchase Shares (the “Company Options”) of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2025 are entitled to receive notice of, attend, participate and vote at, the Meeting. At the Meeting, Securityholders will be asked to pass a special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) approving the Arrangement.
The Company also announced that the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta has issued an interim order in connection with the Arrangement, authorizing the calling and holding of the Meeting and other matters related to the conduct of the Meeting, including the setting of October 31, 2025, as the record date for the Arrangement (the “Record Date”).
Board Recommendation
The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Company and is fair to the Shareholders and, accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that the Securityholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.
Reasons for and Benefits of the Arrangement
All-Cash Consideration Providing Certainty of Value and Liquidity. The all-cash consideration payable pursuant to the Arrangement, which is not subject to any financing condition, allows the Securityholders to crystalize a favourable transaction multiple for all their Shares, providing certainty of value and liquidity for their investment, while removing the volatility associated with owning securities of the Company as an independent, publicly-traded corporation as well as the risks and uncertainties and longer potential timeline for realizing value from the Company’s strategic plan or other possible strategic alternatives.
Premium to Market Price. The Consideration of $1.92 per Share represents a premium of approximately 43.7% to the 12-month volume weighted average trading price as of October 3, 2025, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of the Arrangement, a premium of 3.8% to the closing price of the Shares as of such date and a premium of approximately 30.3% over the 180-trading day volume weighted average trading price as of such date. In assessing these premiums, the special committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”) and the Board also took into consideration the fact that the Shares had appreciated in price significantly over the short to medium-term, increasing by approximately 68.2% since January 2, 2025, and that recent trading prices reflected limited liquidity, representing values for a limited number of the Shares rather than broader market demand.
Thorough Review Process and Market Check. The Arrangement is the result of a comprehensive strategic review process pursuant to which the Special Committee and Board assessed the business, operations, assets, financial condition, operating results and future prospects of the Company and the relative benefits and risks of various alternatives reasonably available to the Company, including the continued execution of the Company’s existing strategic plan. Over the course of this strategic review process, the Board and management of the Company, along with their financial advisors, and/or representatives communicated with over 220 potential strategic and financial purchasers that were considered to be the most likely potential purchasers of the Company. Eighty-two of such potential purchasers, entered into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and all potential acquirors were managed on the same timeline and were provided access to certain confidential information about the Company, including, in certain instances, access to a secure virtual due diligence site.
Support for the Arrangement. Concurrently with the announcement of the Arrangement, certain of the Company’s largest Securityholders, including all directors and senior officers of the Company, entered into Support and Voting Agreements pursuant to which such Securityholders have agreed to vote all Shares and Company Options held by them in favour of the Arrangement. Collectively, such Shareholders represented, as of the Record Date, directly or indirectly, or by way of control or direction over such Shares, an aggregate of 24,173,651 Shares, representing approximately 17.5% of the issued and outstanding Shares. Following announcement of the Arrangement, 19 other Shareholders agreed to enter into Support and Voting Agreements with the Purchaser in order to show their support for the Arrangement. Such Securityholders, together with Securityholders that executed Voting and Support Agreements concurrently with the execution of the Arrangement Agreement, represented approximately 71.9% of the outstanding Shares as of the close of business on October 31, 2025. In total, there are 99,679,468 Shares and 5,837,500 Company Options, representing approximately 70.5% of the issued and outstanding Shares and Company Options that are captured by Support and Voting Agreements and pursuant to which the holders have agreed to vote FOR the Arrangement.
Best Available Strategic Alternatives. The Special Committee and the Board believes that the Arrangement is an attractive proposition for the Securityholders relative to the status quo and other alternatives reasonably available to the Company, taking into account the current and anticipated opportunities and risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business, affairs, operations, industry and prospects, including the execution risks associated with its standalone strategic plan, the Company’s competitive position, the current and anticipated macroeconomic and political environment, the current and anticipated risks with North American equity markets and the sensitivity of the specialty truck sector to trends (including the imposition of tariffs and global unrest) impacting key partners and vendors. There is no assurance that the continued operation of the Company under its current business model and pursuit of its future business plan would yield equivalent or greater value for all Securityholders compared to that available under the Arrangement.
No Financing Conditions. The Arrangement is not subject to any conditionality surrounding financing and Toro, who is a large-cap diversified company trading on the New York Stock Exchange, has guaranteed the obligations of the Purchaser, including payment of the Consideration to the Shareholders and funding the net exercise price of the Company Options.
Value supported by Fairness Opinions. The Special Committee and the Board received a fairness opinion from each of Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. (“Stifel”) and Origin Merchant Partners (“Origin”). Origin concluded that, based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set out in its opinion, that the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders other than any “related party” of the Company that is entitled to receive a “collateral benefit” (as such terms are defined for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders. Stifel also concluded that, based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set out in its opinion, that the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders is fair, from a financial point of view to such Shareholders.
Other Reasons for the Arrangement. The Special Committee and the Board also carefully considered the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, including the Board’s ability to respond to Superior Proposals, the appropriateness of deal protections therein, the limited conditionality to Closing, the limited restrictions on the Company’s business imposed by the Arrangement Agreement and the treatment of Optionholders.

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), an autonomous delivery network anchored by patented AI-powered Arrive Points™, has moved into a nearly 30,000 square-foot, new headquarters in Fishers, Ind.
The new facility marks a pivotal step in Arrive AI’s rapid growth, providing the space and infrastructure to support the company’s expanding team and continued innovation. The move – from Launch Fishers at 12175 Visionary Way to 9100 Fall View Drive – was prompted by a foundational hiring program that has seen the company grow from six employees in January to possibly 60 by year end.
“This new headquarters isn’t just more space: It’s a launchpad for innovation,” said Arrive AI Chief Strategy Officer Neerav Shah. “It’s where our teams are already prototyping the next generation of autonomous delivery solutions and building a showroom that will allow partners, investors, and the community to experience the future of last-mile delivery firsthand. Talent and vision are essential, but environment converts potential into performance. The right workspace is a strategic asset, not an expense.”
Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness welcomed the move.
“Fishers has been striving to become a smart, vibrant and entrepreneurial city,” he said. “The recent relocation of Arrive AI’s new headquarters affirms who our city is trying to become. We are thrilled with their success and can’t wait to further partner with them.”
The facility is already buzzing with activity as engineers and designers develop new prototypes, with plans underway for a state-of-the-art showroom that will showcase how Arrive Points enable secure, autonomous, and climate-assisted deliveries at scale.
Located adjacent to The Yard, Top Golf, and Ikea near Interstate 69, the new headquarters positions Arrive AI at the center of Fishers’ thriving innovation corridor and provides room for additional growth as the company continues to scale in 2026 and beyond.
The Arrive AI team moved into the new space late last month.

Facility completion marks a major milestone as equipment procurement and installation begin; exploration planning accelerates ahead of comprehensive 3D model release.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2025 / ESGold Corp. (“ESGold” or the “Company“) (CSE:ESAU)(OTCQB:ESAUF)(FSE:Z7D) is pleased to announce the completion of the main mill building at its fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec, marking a key step on the Company’s path toward production. With structural work finalized, ESGold is now advancing to equipment procurement and installation, moving the Project into its commissioning phase.
The Montauban mill building structure, concrete flooring, and interior divisions have been fully completed. The on-site gold room and laboratory are now complete, providing facilities for metallurgical testing and exploration analysis, while securely housing gold and silver doré prior to shipment to off takers and refineries. With the facility complete, ESGold is now transitioning to the next critical phase-equipment sourcing, delivery, and installation-to prepare for commissioning.
Montauban newly revamped mill building, November 2025 – main structure complete.
Next Steps Toward Production ESGold has initiated procurement of the processing equipment required to complete the Merrill Crowe circuit, including clarifying tanks, filtration units, and vacuum systems. Once all components are received, the team will move into system integration and commissioning, ensuring seamless alignment with the plant’s clean, closed-circuit design.
The Company anticipates commissioning activities to follow shortly after installation, leading to the first gold and silver production from Montauban in 2026.
Quote from Gordon Robb, CEO “Completing the mill building is a defining achievement for ESGold. This milestone transitions us from construction to commissioning and represents tangible progress toward near-term production,” said Gordon Robb, CEO of ESGold Corp. “Our team has done an incredible job keeping the project on schedule. We are now focused on ordering, installing, and integrating equipment to bring Montauban online. In parallel, our geological team is finalizing the comprehensive 3D model that will guide the next phase of exploration and expansion. We’re building not just a mine, but a long-term platform for growth and value creation for our shareholders.”
Exploration Planning and 3D Model Progress As construction advances, ESGold’s geological and technical teams are completing the final stages of the comprehensive 3D geological model for the Montauban district. This model integrates geophysical, historical, and ANT survey data to refine drill targets and identify deeper mineralized structures. The results will form the foundation for an expanded exploration strategy designed to unlock Montauban’s broader discovery potential.
Upcoming Milestones
Completion and public release of the Montauban 3D geological model to guide exploration and resource expansion.
Initiation of a targeted exploration and drill program based on newly interpreted structural data.
Sourcing and procurement of key processing equipment to advance construction and readiness for commissioning.
Delivery and installation of Merrill-Crowe circuit components to enable on-site gold and silver recovery.
Progress toward first gold and silver production in 2026, marking the transition from construction to operations.
Why This Matters to Investors Completion of the Montauban mill building de-risks ESGold’s transition to production and demonstrates the Company’s ability to execute efficiently. With funding secured, construction complete, and procurement underway, ESGold is well positioned to move from build to commissioning. The combination of near-term cash flow potential and large-scale exploration upside continues to define ESGold as one of Canada’s most advanced, scalable clean-mining developers.
Qualified Person The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by John Langton (P.Geo.), a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The bench testing summarized in this press release was supervised by Edmond St-Jean, Ing., whose underlying report notes that samples were collected from the Montauban site and used as received for metallurgical analysis. Data and results are preliminary but considered reliable for disclosure purposes.
Reliance on Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) ESGold’s advancement of the Montauban Project is supported by the results of its Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), which remains the current technical study for the property. The PEA outlined an after-tax NPV (5%) of C$24.27 million and an after-tax IRR of 60.3 percent, along with a pre-tax NPV (5%) of C$44.53 million and a pre-tax IRR of 105.1 percent, underscoring robust economics with a payback period of less than two years from production start. The study demonstrated strong project economics with low capital intensity and high operating margins, highlighting the potential for early cash flow from reprocessing of historical tailings and production of gold and silver dore.
Cautionary Note on Production Decision The Company cautions that its decision to proceed with site construction and procurement of processing equipment at the Montauban Project is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and a higher risk of economic or technical failure associated with the Project’s development compared with projects supported by a full feasibility study and defined mineral reserves. The Company’s production decision has been made using information contained in its updated PEA, historical operating data, metallurgical testing, and management’s assessment of the Project’s potential for sustainable operations.
