Cybercriminals ramp up fraudulent tax tools as taxpayers increasingly file online in 2025

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 6, 2025 / The IRS has issued a new warning about fake tax apps and digital filing scams designed to steal personal and financial data from unsuspecting taxpayers. With more Americans turning to online platforms to prepare and submit their returns, officials say fraudsters are exploiting the trend by creating look-alike apps and websites that mimic legitimate tax software.

“Cybercriminals are getting more sophisticated, and these scams can be hard to spot,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “A taxpayer may think they’re downloading a trusted tax app, when in reality they’re handing over sensitive data like Social Security numbers and bank account details.”

Clear Start Tax cautions that filing scams often appear in online ads, app stores, and even through phishing emails. Victims risk identity theft, fraudulent refunds, and long delays in resolving tax issues. “The IRS is flagging these schemes because the financial fallout can be devastating,” the spokesperson added. “Protecting your data is just as important as filing on time.”

By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

Experts advise taxpayers to only use official IRS-approved software providers, download apps directly from trusted sources, and enable multi-factor authentication whenever available. “If something looks too good to be true – like a free filing app with no track record – it probably is,” Clear Start Tax explained.

Highlights:

• Nano One has pre-qualified lithium raw materials from Rio Tinto for LFP cathode production

• The LFP cathode was made with Nano One’s One-Pot™ process

• Nano One continues to secure strategic supply chain relationships to support technology licensing growth model

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 6, 2025 / (TSX:NANO)(OTCQB:NNOMF)(Frankfurt:LBMB)

Nano One® Materials Corp. (“Nano One” or the “Company”), a process technology company specializing in lithium‑ion battery cathode active materials, is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing collaboration with Rio Tinto (together, the “Parties”) specific to the pre-qualification of high-volume battery‑grade raw material inputs for Nano One’s One-Pot™ lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode active material (CAM) production process.

“We are adding value to our technology and license offering by pre-qualifying feedstock that is critical to the production of LFP. This will assist our prospective licensee partners manage supply chain risks and accelerate time to market for future One-Pot commercial plants. There continues to be a need for secure, diversified, and economically localized LFP cathode active material supply chains. We believe that our One-Pot processing technology can be bundled with pre-qualified input feedstocks from premier producers such as Rio Tinto, to help partners, licensees, and customers achieve their objectives.” stated Alex Holmes, Chief Operating Officer of Nano One.

Rio Tinto is a leading global mining group and a major lithium producer, with one of the world’s largest lithium resource bases. With strategically located lithium assets across key regions, Rio Tinto intends to grow the capacity of its tier-1 lithium assets to over 200 thousand tonnes per year of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) by 2028^[1].

Collaboration and pre-qualification of Rio Tinto’s critical minerals and raw materials inputs include:

• Lithium carbonate from Rio Tinto’s Fenix site at the Salar del Hombre Muerto in Catamarca, Argentina qualified at C-sample (tonne scale) with 10 tonnes purchased for pilot and customer validation work

• Lithium carbonate from Rio Tinto’s Olaroz site in Jujuy, Argentina qualified at A-sample (kilogram scale) for diversified sourcing strategy, progressing to C-sample qualification

• Pre-commercial lithium carbonate samples from Rio Tinto’s Rincon project in Argentina have been evaluated for future supply

Nano One conducts qualification of battery‑grade raw materials through a rigorous, staged testing protocol at increasing scales from A-sample (kilograms) through C-sample (1-10 tonnes) prior to D-samples in a commercial plant setting. By pre-qualifying raw material inputs, Nano One aims to accelerate customer acceptance of its LFP product and LFP CAM licensing packages. This will also de‑risk supply chains for prospective licensees and fast-track A thru C sample qualification programs by as much as one year. The strategic collaboration between the Parties aligns with Nano One’s technology licensing and growth strategy while supporting regional LFP supply chain development opportunities.

TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / October 6, 2025 / Highlander Silver Corp. (TSX:HSLV; “Highlander Silver” or the “Company“) is pleased to report assay results from the third series of holes into the expanding Bonita vein system which include the discovery of a new zone called Kusy that has returned the highest grades of gold and silver reported to date. Kusy is part of the Bonita vein system which is exposed along a ridgeline approximately 10km to the south of the bonanza grade Ayelen deposit at the San Luis gold-silver project in Central Peru.

Highlights are listed below, with corresponding images in Figures 1-2 and detailed results in Tables 1-2.

Highlights

• BOD-021, targeting the central portion of Kusy approximately 150m to the northeast of previously reported drilling, returned 23.6m of 15.56 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) and 74.49 g/t silver (“Ag”) from 8.8m downhole

• The Kusy discovery is the result of the first drilling on the eastern flank of the Bonita vein system exposure and consists of breccias and fine quartz vein fragments similar to the mineralization encountered in drilling on the western exposure

• BOD-019, tested the Kusy zone from a platform to the northwest of BOD-021, and returned 7.4m of 8.10 g/t Au and 6.55 g/t Ag from 48.4m downhole

• BOD-018 was drilled into the western exposure from a step-out platform to the southeast of previously reported BOD-015 (23.7m of 3.31 g/t Au and 9.60 g/t Ag) and returned 10.1m of 3.81 g/t Au and 7.72 g/t Ag from 32.3m downhole

• BOD-017 was collared from the same platform as BOD-018 and intersected 14.6m of 1.71 g/t Au and 5.35 g/t Ag from 41.8m downhole

• The next set of drill results are expected to be released when complete assays are received in approximately six weeks and will include follow up drilling in the new Kusy discovery and step-out drilling in the western exposure

• The Bonita vein system encompasses a number of silicified structures exposed in outcrop over an area of 800m by 200m and remains open in all directions

• Results are being processed from a magnetic geophysical survey undertaken by dual quadcopters aimed at mapping the full extent of the Bonita vein system under cover to the west and in rugged topography to the east and northeast

Figure 2 – Image of Core from BOD-021 (22.1m to 25.60m)

Note: Silicified breccia typical of the Bonita vein system, including millimetric veinlets within altered andesitic bands.

Table 1 – Assay Results

Hole ID	From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Au (g/t)	Ag (g/t)
BOD-016	32.1	36.5	4.4	0.94	12.06
BOD-017	41.8	56.4	14.6	1.71	5.35
and	73.9	76.5	2.6	0.74	1.37
BOD-018	32.3	42.4	10.1	3.81	7.72
BOD-019	48.4	55.8	7.4	8.10	6.55
and	82.4	84.5	2.1	0.63	3.75
BOD-020	67.0	70.8	3.8	0.56	73.33
BOD-021	8.8	32.4	23.6	15.56	74.49

Note: Reported intervals are apparent widths as the full geometry of the mineralized structures has not yet been fully modelled. Assays were not capped, and composite intervals are calculated using a minimum weighted average of 0.5 g/t Au, over a minimum core length of 2m, allowing internal dilution.

Table 2 – Collar Locations

Technical Information and Quality Control / Quality Assurance

All drilling was completed with HQ core. The drill core is split in half using a diamond saw. Core is logged by the Company’s geologist on site who outlines the intervals to be sampled. The maximum sample length is 1.5 meters and lengths are adjusted according to lithological and/or mineralogical contacts.

After sawing, one-half of the core is kept on site in core boxes, and the other half is submitted for analysis. Individual sample bags are sealed and placed into larger bags, which are then sealed and marked with the contents.

Samples are transported by Highlander Silver personnel to ALS Peru S.A. (“ALS“) located in Lima, Peru, where they are prepared and analyzed. ALS is independent of the Company.

In ALS, the entire sample is crushed to approximately 80% passing through a 2mm sieve. A 500 g fraction is pulverized. Gold concentration is determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge with an AA finish (Au-AA23). Silver, lead, copper, and zinc, along with other elements, are analyzed by ICP utilizing a four-acid digestion (ME-ICP61). Over-limit samples for Au (10 g/t Au) follow gravitational finishing Au-GRA21 (30g sample). Over-limit samples for Ag (100 g/t Ag) follow gravitational finishing Ag-GRA21 (30g sample).

The internal QA/QC program includes the submission of field duplicates (1/4 core), pulp and coarse reject duplicates, and the insertion of commercial standards and blanks (coarse and fine). Control samples account for more than 15% of the total samples sent, in addition to the laboratory’s internal quality assurance programs.

The Company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.

The scientific and technical information, including the drillhole data, has been verified by Dr. Sergio Gelcich. This verification involves data validation and quality assurance procedures, such as reviewing logging directly in front of the core, analyzing database integrity, conducting quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) for assays, and cross-checking the original lab certificates.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 6, 2025 / California never misses a chance to make a statement or a lawsuit. So when Los Angeles County went after Coca-Cola and PepsiCo for allegedly misleading consumers about plastic waste, the headlines practically wrote themselves. Two global icons, one sweeping accusation, and a familiar villain: plastic.

The optics were perfect. The outcome, less so. Unless they pay attention to opportunities that exist right here, right now, instead of acting as a purely punitive body.

What the state doesn’t seem to realize is that the solution it’s seeking already exists, and it isn’t another fine. It’s proof. It’s infrastructure. It’s SMX (NASDAQ:SMX), a company that has already built what Los Angeles County and global policymakers keep asking for. It delivers real, molecular-level substance to what decades of summits like COP 29 and the UN Plastics Treaty have only talked about.

For its part, SMX isn’t talking; it’s offering. Not about a piece of the puzzle, but the entire wish list: measurable traceability, proof that recycled content is genuine, assurance that waste streams are truly closed, and validation that sustainability is more than a talking point on a corporate slide. That’s the frustrating part. While the debates drag on year after year in search of solutions, SMX already has them, making it long overdue to choose and implement real technology over recycled rhetoric. It’s a straightforward process that lets SMX do the heavy lifting. Here’s how it works.

SMX Immutably Marks Plastics at the Resin Stage

SMX’s molecular-marker technology embeds invisible, tamper-proof identifiers directly into plastics at the resin stage, before they ever take shape. Every granule of resin carries a unique molecular fingerprint, creating an unbreakable chain of custody from creation to collection to recycling. That’s not a proposal. That’s a platform. And it’s working today.

Thus, instead of forcing companies to pay fines for a lack of proof, California could be funding a system that guarantees it. Rather than punishing progress, it could accelerate it by using the dollars already flowing through its lawsuits to build infrastructure that makes compliance automatic.

Coke and Pepsi aren’t the problem. Their intent has always been good, and their investments prove it. Both companies have invested significant resources in recycling innovation, recovery infrastructure, and sustainability initiatives across every major market worldwide. They’ve built partnerships, funded programs, and pledged real progress. What they’re battling isn’t a lack of effort. It’s a lack of alignment.

Every region, regulator, and recycler speaks a different language when it comes to circularity. Definitions shift. Standards collide. What’s compliant in one country gets challenged in another. The result is a global patchwork of rules that reward ambition in one place and punish it in the next.

Coke and Pepsi aren’t fighting the science; they’re fighting a broken system. There are ways to mend it.

Fund Change, Not Unrelated Programs

Imagine if California redirected its lawsuits into solutions. Each multi-million-dollar settlement could fund real-world traceability infrastructure, smart systems that tag, track, and authenticate every ton of plastic in circulation. It wouldn’t just satisfy environmental watchdogs. It would make California the global hub for circular-economy innovation.

And here’s where SMX makes that vision profitable. Its blockchain-enabled Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) monetizes verified circularity, transforming proof into a measurable, tradeable asset. This isn’t about tracking a single bottle worth pennies. It’s about metric tons of authenticated material worth tens of thousands, even millions, when aggregated across global supply chains. Proof becomes liquidity. Circularity becomes an asset class.

That’s the system COP 29 and UN Treaty delegates keep describing in theory, a unified, verifiable framework where data meets policy and accountability meets profit. SMX already has it. It’s not an idea. It’s an implementation.

Regulators Can Stop Chasing and Start Utilizing

The irony is that regulators continue to chase the prospect of solutions instead of utilizing what’s already available, proven, and operational. SMX has already demonstrated its capabilities with Continental, marking and tracing 21 tons of natural rubber from tree to tire. The company also has partnerships with A*STAR, REDWAVE, CETI, Tradepro, and others, which demonstrate that molecular tracking is effective at scale for plastics and textiles. The best part is that SMX’s platform is applicable to virtually any material or liquid, creating a universal language for recycling and circularity across the industries driving today’s environmental headlines.

So why is California still penalizing progress instead of financing it? It makes no sense.

California continues to call for transparency, but it continues to collect opacity. The state’s “environmental funds” absorb millions in corporate penalties, yet recycling rates barely move and landfill totals barely shrink. The money goes to bureaucracy, not backbone. Meanwhile, the companies being fined are the ones trying hardest to change.

Stop Litigating and Start Rewarding

Coke and Pepsi don’t need more lawsuits. They need measurable systems that demonstrate the effectiveness of their current efforts, and they require regulators willing to reward results instead of publishing discouraging headlines. SMX has that system now. It delivers what global treaties have promised but never implemented: molecular-level accountability that makes sustainability measurable, verifiable, and profitable.

Plastic waste doesn’t start in the ocean. It starts in the supply chain. Until regulators start tracing materials at their source, every fine will remain another headline on a broken loop. Stop the madness.

California doesn’t need another statement or another lawsuit. It doesn’t need another committee or summit to study the same problem. The solution already exists. SMX has built, proven, and deployed it. It’s here today, operating at industrial scale, ready to track plastics from resin to recycling and back again.

So here’s a timely proposition: instead of drafting the next headline, California should start recognizing the opportunity already in front of it. SMX is the infrastructure the state keeps asking for: built, operating, and ready to deliver. In other words, California, stop searching and start using.

About SMX

As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / October 6, 2025 / American Critical Minerals Corp. (“American Critical Minerals” or the”Company“) (CSE:KCLI)(OTCQB:APCOF)(Frankfurt:2P3) is pleased to announce that Agapito Associates LLC. (“Agapito”) has completed the work announced by the Company on July 29, 2025 and has defined a National Instrument (“NI”) 43-101 exploration target for lithium at its Green River Project in the Paradox Basin, Utah. Agapito has also defined a NI43-101 exploration target for bromine as a potentially highly material and large-scale by-product of lithium production. Neighboring Anson Resources has also reported significant Bromine content associated with its lithium brines in the Paradox Basin (www.ansonresources.com).

These Exploration Targets for two critical minerals and a key potential by-product, showcase the large-scale potential of the Green River Project and provide valuable data which the Company will utilize to finalize drill targets for confirmation and resource drilling. In the interim, Agapito is adding these new exploration targets, as well as additional new data, to an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report which the company will publish and file shortly.

The Exploration Target(s) for the Project are based on available geological data, historical drill data from 23 oil and gas wells drilled across and around our Project area (with Lithium and Bromine values) and 18 oil and gas wells (with porosity values) and analogues from adjacent projects. This includes over 50 years pf potash production from the same potash cycles at the nearby Moab Mine, now owned and operated by Intrepid Potash and advanced lithium development work by Anson Resources on contiguous land to our north and adjacent land to our south.

Target tonnages are estimated to range between 1.27 to 2.1 billion cubic meters of brine. Corresponding grades are estimated at 71-216 parts per million (“ppm”) for lithium (1.7 Mt LCE), and 3,656-4,741 ppm for bromine (9.1 Mt Bromine high case). These ranges highlight the prospective nature and potential scale of the mineralized clastic zones. The lower end of the target range from 42.9ppm to 129.8ppm lithium (0.6 Mt LCE) and 2194 to 2844 ppm bromine (3.3 Mt Bromine Low Case). The upper end with grades up to 29% eKCl, 152 ppm Lithium, and 4,412 ppm Br₂ reflects the upside potential should continuity and thickness be confirmed through further drilling. These estimates provide a framework for prioritizing exploration activities, including step-out drilling and detailed geophysical interpretation.

Management Commentary

Simon Clarke President & CEO stated, “this is a big milestone for the Company. The importance of lithium and bromine in the Paradox has been recognized for a number of years but has been very much highlighted and validated in recent times by our close neighbour Anson Resources. The work they have done on drilling and successfully piloting their projects and attracting definitive offtake partners like LG Solution for battery grade lithium, is potentially directly applicable to, and positive for, our Green River Project given their land is contiguous and adjacent to ours. The work now done by Agapito in defining exploration targets for lithium, and also bromine takes this potential a step further and showcases the large-scale potential of the Green River Project for lithium and bromine based on a lot of additional historic and recent data.

The potential of our Project is even larger than our neighbours, given we also have large-scale potash potential and a large existing exploration target for potash. We now have 3 large exploration targets for 3 different minerals, as well as drill permits in hand and we can test for all 3 minerals in each hole we drill. This latest work further positions the Company to launch confirmation and resource drilling in the coming months.”

Lithium and Bromine Exploration Targets

The Exploration Target estimate for lithium and bromine is based on brine-hosting intervals within the Paradox Basin. Key geologic units, including the Leadville Formation and Paradox clastic zones 17, 19, 29, 31, and 33, were evaluated individually using available porosity, volume, and brine chemistry data to establish potential ranges for contained lithium and bromine.

The Pennsylvanian-age Paradox Formation comprises thick, regionally extensive halite units interbedded with evaporitic anhydrite and potash horizons, as well as clastic and carbonate intervals including sandstone, shale, limestone, and dolomite. Core data published from Anson Resources’ Paradox Lithium and Green River Lithium Project areas provide direct petrophysical and lithological measurements that can be correlated to the clastic zones identified within the Green River Project area. These datasets confirm the lateral continuity and stratigraphic equivalency of the principal reservoir intervals. Eighteen drillholes from adjacent project areas that report porosity values, which are considered representative values for the Green River Property clastic zones. Effective porosity ranges of 10.3-17.1%, 11.0-18.4%, 9.9-16.4%, and 12.4-20.7% were assigned to Clastic Zones 17, 19, 29, 31, and 33, respectively, with the reported values representing average effective porosity estimates for each interval.

The Mississippian Leadville Formation is a marine carbonate sequence that is typically composed of limestone and dolomite. Because the Leadville currently and historically has been a target for hydrocarbons, CO2 and helium, there is abundant well data available. At the Green River Property, the Leadville has been shown to have excellent vuggy porosity and good reservoir deliverability. A range of 5.1% – 8.5% average effective porosity was used for the Mississippian Leadville Formation.

In total, 23 drillholes from adjacent project areas reporting lithium and bromine concentrations, which are interpreted as representative values for the Green River Property clastic zones and the Mississippian Leadville Formation. Average lithium concentration ranges of 42.9-71.6 ppm, 86.1-143.4 ppm, 76.1-126.9 ppm, 129.8-216.3 ppm, 47.6-79.4 ppm, and 120.8-201.3 ppm were applied to Clastic Zones 17, 19, 29, 31, 33, and the Mississippian interval, respectively. Corresponding average bromine concentration ranges of 2,551-4,251 ppm, 2,333-3,888 ppm, 2,508-4,180 ppm, 2,587-4,311 ppm, 2,194-3,656 ppm, and 2,845-4,741 ppm were assigned to the same stratigraphic units in order.

The two tables, designated as Tables 1 and 2, present a range of potential in situ mineral quantities for an exploration target containing lithium and bromine brines. These tables define the estimates for a High Case (Table 1) and a Low Case (Table 2) scenario, a standard practice in mineral exploration to bracket the potential resource based on the current level of geological knowledge and data uncertainty. The foundational calculation for both estimates begins with the geometric properties of the aquifer, specifically its total volume. This aquifer volume is then combined with a range of effective porosity values-a lower percentage for the conservative Low Case and a higher percentage for the optimistic High Case-to calculate the total volume of brine potentially hosted within the rock pores.

The subsequent calculations apply grade estimates to these brine volumes to determine the total contained metal. For instance, a Low Case brine volume of 25 million cubic meters multiplied by a conservative lithium grade of 200 parts per million could yield a total lithium metal estimate on the order of tens of thousands of tonnes. This lithium figure is also converted into its Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE), the industry-standard unit for commercial transactions, which could range from a Low Case in the realm of 615,000 tonnes to a High Case potentially exceeding 1,710,000 tonnes. Simultaneously, the bromine content is calculated using its own range of concentration values, potentially resulting in a Low Case estimate of approximately 3,288,000 tonnes of elemental bromine (Br₂) and a significantly larger High Case figure of 9,134,000 tonnes. The substantial spread between the low and high estimates for both minerals effectively captures the geological uncertainties at this early stage, serving to illustrate the potential scale of the discovery and guide future exploration efforts to better define the resource.

About American Critical Minerals’ Green River Potash and Lithium Project

The Green River Potash and Lithium Project is situated within Utah’s highly productive Paradox Basin, located 20 miles northwest of Moab, Utah and has significant logistical advantages including close proximity to major rail hubs, airport, roads, water, towns and labour markets. It also benefits from close proximity to the agricultural and industrial heartland of America and numerous potential end-users for its products.

The history of oil and gas production across the Paradox Basin provides geologic data from historic wells across the Project, and the wider Basin, validating and de-risking the potential for high grade potash and large amounts of contained lithium. Wells in and around the project reported lithium up to 500 ppm, bromine up to 6,100 ppm and boron up to 1,260 ppm (Gilbride & Santos, 2012). This data is reinforced by nearby potash production and the advanced stage of neighbouring lithium projects. The Paradox Basin is believed to contain up to 56 billion tonnes of lithium brines, potentially the largest such resource in US (Source:AnsonFastmarketsPresentation- https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/ASN/02823465.pdf ). The Company also has a 43-101 Exploration Target of 600 million to 1 billion tonnes of sylvinite (the most important source for the production of potash in North America) with average grades ranging from 19% to 29% eKCL.**

The Company holds a 100% interest in eleven State of Utah (“SITLA”) mineral and minerals salt leases covering approximately 7,050 acres, 1,094 federal lithium brine claims (BLM Placer Claims) covering 21,150 acres, and 11 federal (BLM) potash prospecting permits covering approximately 25,480 acres. Through these leases, permits and claims the Company has the ability to explore for potash, lithium and potential by-products across the entire Green River Project (approx. 32,530 acres). The Company is authorized to drill a total of 7 drill holes across the Project (pending bonding the recently approved 4 drill holes).

Intrepid Potash, Inc. is America’s largest potash company and only U.S. domestic potash producer and currently produces potash from its nearby Moab Solution Mine, which the Company believes provides strong evidence of stratigraphic continuity within this part of the Paradox Basin (www.intrepidpotash.com). Anson Resources Ltd. has advanced lithium development projects contiguous to the northern boundary of our Green River Project and neighbouring to the south. Anson has a large initial resource, robust definitive feasibility study and has recently completed successful piloting operations through its partnership with Koch Technology Solutions, as well as an offtake agreement with LG Energy Solution. The Anson exploration targets encompass the combined Mississippian Leadville Formation and the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation brine-bearing clastic layers, which also underlie American Critical Minerals’ entire project area (www.ansonresources.com)*.

In 2022, the U.S. imported approx. 96.5% of its annual potash requirements with domestic producers receiving a higher sales price due to proximity to market (intrepidpotash.com/ August 15, 2024, Investor Presentation). In March 2024, the US Senate introduced a bill to include key fertilizers and potash on the US Department of Interior list of Critical Minerals which already includes lithium, and this process is well advanced with potash being added to the USGS Draft Critical Minerals List in August 2025. Recent market estimates suggest that the global potash market is over US$50 billion annually and growing at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of close to 5%. Annual lithium demand is now estimated to be over 1 million tonnes globally and continuing to grow rapidly.

****Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define them as Mineral Resources, and, while reasonable potential may exist, it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource under NI 43-101.
