TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / October 20, 2025 / Northern Superior Resources Inc. (“Northern Superior” or the “Company“) (TSXV:SUP)(OTCQB:NSUPF)(GR:D9M1) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Agreement“) with IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD“) (NYSE: IAG) (TSX: IMG) pursuant to which IAMGOLD will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Northern Superior (the “Northern Superior Shares“) in exchange for cash and common shares of IAMGOLD (“IAMGOLD Shares“) pursuant to a court approved plan of arrangement (the “Acquisition“) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA“).

Under the Acquisition, each Northern Superior Share would be exchanged for 0.0991 of an IAMGOLD Share and C$0.19 in cash for an aggregate value of C$2.05 per Northern Superior Share, representing total consideration of approximately C$375 million based on the closing price of the IAMGOLD Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX“) on October 17, 2025.

In addition to the Acquisition, all common shares of ONGold Resources Ltd. (“ONGold“) (TSXV: ONAU) (OTCQB: ONGRF) held by Northern Superior (the “ONGold Shares“) will be distributed to the Northern Superior shareholders on a pro rata basis immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition (the “ONGold Distribution“).

The consideration under the Acquisition, excluding the value of the ONGold Shares, represents a premium of 45% based on the last closing price of the Northern Superior Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) and the IAMGOLD Shares on the TSX.

Benefits to Northern Superior Shareholders

• Immediate premium: Immediate premium of approximately 45% and 27%, respectively, to the closing price and the 20-day volume-weighted average price of the Northern Superior Shares on the TSXV for the period ending on October 17, 2025, excluding the ONGold Distribution.

• Exposure to IAMGOLD’s portfolio of Canadian-focused, high-quality assets:

  • Côté Gold: Canada’s newest large-scale open pit gold mine, a model for modern mining, with significant growth and expansion potential

  • Westwood: Québec underground success story, generating positive cashflow with a revised technical approach to underground mining

  • Essakane: 6th largest gold mine in West Africa, leader in the community, averaging ~400koz Au per year over the last 10 years

  • Québec-focused Exploration Portfolio: Senior-scale exploration portfolio growing Nelligan & Monster Lake camp in the Chibougamau district, in addition to Northern Superior’s assets.

• IAMGOLD ideally positioned to advance Northern Superior’s properties: With ownership of the Nelligan and Monster Lake properties, financial resources and strong technical, development and operating capabilities, IAMGOLD is ideally suited to optimize and advance the combined portfolio of projects in the Chibougamau Gold Camp in Québec.

• Derisking: Substantially de-risks Northern Superior shareholders’ exposure by converting a concentrated portfolio of exploration-stage assets in the Chibougamau Gold Camp into share ownership of a leading and Canadian-focused multi-asset producer.

• Retention of ONGold Shares: Northern Superior shareholders to directly retain, on a distributed basis, the Company’s 48.5% equity interest in ONGold with a proportional current market value of C$30 million.¹

• Financial strength: Strong balance sheet with liquidity position of more than US$600 million, including US$224 million in cash & equivalents. Additional cash flow generation from operations; 2025 production (attributable) of 735,000 – 820,000 ounces @ AISC of US$1,830 – US$1,930/oz.

• Trading liquidity and capital markets profile: The IAMGOLD Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the TSX and have significantly more trading liquidity than the Northern Superior Shares.

• Attractive form of consideration: The Acquisition will result in the issuance of IAMGOLD Shares on a tax rollover basis for the Northern Superior shareholders who are Canadian residents.

“Today’s announcement marks the culmination of a shared vision between Northern Superior and IAMGOLD to create a truly unified and world-class gold camp near Chibougamau, Québec. I’m immensely proud of our team and what we’ve accomplished together in bringing this vision to life.

“I also want to thank our shareholders for their trust and support. I’m genuinely excited that they will now become shareholders of IAMGOLD, a company with extraordinary momentum, powered by a leadership team that has flawlessly executed the development of the now-iconic Côté Gold Mine, a highly strategic operation located in one of the world’s most sought-after mining jurisdictions. Backed by this unique, repeatedly proven, and Québec-rooted expertise, IAMGOLD will now be able to fully unlock the value of a unified camp and build it into Québec’s next major mining complex, with far-reaching economic and social repercussions across the province.

“Finally, this transaction enables our shareholders to benefit from the distribution of the shares of our spin-off company, ONGold Resources, which is rapidly advancing the Monument Bay and TPK projects, the latter being Northern Superior’s former flagship asset,” commented Simon Marcotte, President and Chief Executive Officer of Northern Superior.

“The addition of Northern Superior’s assets to IAMGOLD’s Nelligan Mining Complex in the Chibougamau region of Québec is extremely exciting for IAMGOLD, the region and our mutual shareholders,” said Renaud Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer of IAMGOLD. “This acquisition aligns with our strategy to become a leading Canadian-focused mid-tier gold producer, bolstering our organic pipeline in Québec where we have maintained a longstanding presence. Further, the combined assets begin to define a conceptual project that complements both the scale and timing of our Côté Gold Mine and its forthcoming expansion. We look forward to accelerating our exploration program in the region with a goal of further expansion and extension of the mineralization at Nelligan, Philibert and Monster Lake – making the Nelligan Mining Complex already near the top undeveloped projects in mining-friendly Québec and Canada.”

Transaction Summary

The Acquisition and the ONGold Distribution (collectively, the “Transaction“) will be completed pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the BCBCA. Under the Acquisition, each Northern Superior Share would be exchanged for 0.0991 of an IAMGOLD Share and C$0.19 in cash. In addition, under the ONGold Distribution, Northern Superior shareholders will receive a pro rata distribution of the ONGold Shares based on the number of Northern Superior Shares outstanding immediately prior to closing the Acquisition.

The Transaction will require approval by 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders of Northern Superior at a special meeting of shareholders of Northern Superior expected to be held in December 2025 and a majority of the votes cast at such meeting, excluding the votes cast by certain directors and members of management of the Company. The directors and members of senior management of Northern Superior, collectively representing approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding Northern Superior Shares, have entered into voting and support agreements with IAMGOLD pursuant to which they agreed to vote their shares in favour of the Transaction.

In addition to shareholder and court approvals, the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions customary for a transaction of this nature. The Agreement includes customary deal protections, including fiduciary-out provisions, non-solicitation covenants and the right to match any superior proposals. Additionally, a break fee in the amount of C$12 million is payable to IAMGOLD by Northern Superior in certain circumstances if the Transaction is not completed.

Pursuant to the Agreement, all outstanding Northern Superior options which remain unexercised at the effective time of the Transaction will be automatically exercised on a cashless basis for the “in-the-money” value of such options in Northern Superior Shares which will participate in the Transaction, and all outstanding restricted stock units and deferred stock units will be exchanged for 0.0991 of an IAMGOLD Share and C$0.19 in cash.

Full details of the Transaction will be included in the meeting materials which are expected to be mailed to the Northern Superior shareholders in the coming weeks. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions, the Transaction is expected to close in December 2025 or January 2026.

Open-access publication demonstrates the validity and reliability of the Mentavi online Diagnostic Evaluation compared to a clinical interview, widening evidence based telehealth access for adults with ADHD.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN / ACCESS Newswire / October 20, 2025 / Mentavi Health announced that its landmark, real-world validation study of the Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation has been published in the peer reviewed Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (JCP). In what is believed to be the first peer-reviewed study of its kind, an asynchronous, online evaluation matched the diagnostic accuracy of a clinician-led interview for adult ADHD. This publication provides the first peer-reviewed evidence base for a fully digital diagnostic pathway for adult ADHD.

Primary endpoints and results

• n = 345 adults seeking web based ADHD assessment (predominantly female; mean age = 35).

• Sensitivity = 80.6% and Positive Predictive Value = 94.9%.

• False positive rate = 12% versus 56% for the clinical interview, indicating the online tool is accurate in diagnosing ADHD in adults.

• Note: the full article is freely available via the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (DOI below).

Why it matters

The findings address concerns about rigor in digital diagnostics by showing that an asynchronous, clinician reviewed online pathway can perform comparably on key performance metrics to a structured face-to-face clinical interview conducted via video-while being more conservative in assigning ADHD negative diagnoses.

Study design

The prospective, real-world observational study compared the Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation-a self-paced, asynchronous questionnaire interpreted by a doctorate level psychologist-with a structured face-to-face clinical interview conducted via video. Primary endpoints were sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value relative to DSM5 criteria. The protocol was IRB approved and powered to detect ≥80% sensitivity with 95% confidence.

Clinical and public health implications

• Pent up demand: an estimated 17 million American adults have ADHD, yet waiting lists for specialist evaluation can exceed six months.

• Telehealth preference: CDC data indicate 46% of U.S. adults with ADHD already use telehealth services. Until now, no online assessment had been validated.

• Health equity impact: Digital, asynchronous tools remove geographic and scheduling barriers, enabling evidence based diagnosis for rural, underserved, and shift working populations. 

Executive comments

“Publication in a top-tier peer-review journal moves this evidence base forward, for our diagnostic evaluation specifically and for telehealth in general,” said Barry K. Herman, MD, MMM, chief medical officer at Mentavi Health and first author of the paper. “The study shows that an online ADHD diagnosis can be accurately assessed asynchronously, closing gaps in care created by specialist shortages and long waitlists.”

Andrew J. Cutler, MD, chief medical officer at the Neuroscience Education Institute, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at SUNY Upstate Medical University, and study co-author, commented: “As one of the first large peer-reviewed evaluations of a telehealth ADHD tool, this paper will shape guidelines and payer policies worldwide.”

“Publication in the JCP sets a new standard for evidence-based digital mental health,” added Keith Brophy, CEO of Mentavi Health. “It validates years of work to build a rigorous online diagnostic platform and expands our mission to remove barriers of access to accurate mental-health assessments.”

Collaboration creates a valuable content portfolio for sponsors, broadcasters and digital publishers looking to get a headstart on the stories shaping next year’s biggest sporting event in history

MONACO, MC / ACCESS Newswire / October 20, 2025 / SEVN Worldwide, the media rights and distribution agency, today announced it has secured exclusive live broadcast, VOD, digital syndication, and in-stadium media activation rights for the Monterrey Legends Match, taking place January 17, 2026 at Estadio Monterrey, home of Liga MX including the Rayadas & Rayados.

The collaboration marks the first live football event that will highlight legends of the game who have excelled representing their club and national teams. In September 2024, Monterrey became the first host city to stage a Legends Match, when global icons including Carles Puyol, Andrea Pirlo, John Terry and Didier Drogba took to the pitch. SEVN Worldwide served as the media rights agency of record for this global football event that was widely praised and recognized for its production value, reach, and innovation.

Broadcast production and distribution of the prior Legends Match at Estadio Monterrey was led by Televisa via TUDN and VIX and amplified throughout Mexico, United States, and globally by major broadcasters including Multimedios, BEIN Sports, Fox Deportes, Directv Latin America, and FIFA+. Through partnerships with Meta and Twitch, SEVN bridged generations of football fandom, bringing the legends of the game to life for digital-native audiences who’ve learned about them through family heritage, streaming culture, and the global popularity of EA FC.

“This rights package integrates exclusive live and VOD content with dynamic pre- and post-match programming, creating a powerful platform for partners to engage fans at scale and collect meaningful first-party insights,” said Greg Bobolo, Founder & CEO, SEVN. “Inside the venue, we’re extending that experience, offering new ways for fans and sponsors to connect across every device.”

“Partnering with SEVN allows us to deliver the Legends Match to fans worldwide with cutting-edge distribution and sponsor experiences that match the excitement on the field,” said Alejandro Hütt, Host City Manager Monterrey. “Their proven performance and forward-thinking use of AI and new technologies continue to expand the commercial and fan value of our intellectual property.”

As anticipation builds toward 2026, inventory of premium football content of this caliber remains extremely limited and in exceptionally high demand. Following the tremendous success of last year’s Legends Match, which drew more than 35,000 fans to Estadio Monterrey and achieved standout viewership across multiple broadcast and streaming platforms, SEVN and Host City Monterrey are already fielding strong interest from networks throughout North America and beyond. The renewed rights package positions Monterrey as a key gateway for global broadcasters, brands, and digital publishers eager to capture the energy of the world’s most anticipated sporting event before it kicks off.

SEVN is currently engaging global distribution and regional sponsorship partners seeking to connect with football audiences ahead of the largest global sporting event in history. Founder & CEO Greg Bobolo and Managing Partner JB John-Baptiste will be available for press and partner briefings October 19-22 at SPORTEL Monaco.
