Findings complement previously announced results in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and prostate cancer models, highlighting Telomir-1’s consistent impact on cancer cell survival pathways.
MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:TELO) (“Telomir” or the “Company”), a preclinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies that target epigenetic drivers of cancer, aging, and age-related disease, today announced new laboratory findings demonstrating that Telomir-1 kills aggressive pancreatic cancer cells.
Study Summary
In laboratory studies using human pancreatic cancer (PANC-1) cells, Telomir-1 produced a concentration-dependent reduction in cancer cell survival and mitochondrial activity. These data suggest Telomir-1 influences cellular pathways related to energy metabolism and oxidative balance. The findings align with previously reported results in triple-negative breast and prostate cancer models, indicating that Telomir-1 may engage fundamental biological processes involved in cancer cell regulation.
Similar to the observation in TNBC, Telomir-1’s effects in pancreatic-cancer cells were partially reversed by iron re-addition, suggesting that Telomir-1’s activity in both TNBC and pancreatic cancer involves iron-dependent processes. The incomplete reversal supports the interpretation that additional metabolic or epigenetic mechanisms are also engaged.
Pancreatic-cancer cells are known for metabolic flexibility – the ability to use glucose, lipids, and amino acids to survive in low-oxygen, nutrient-poor environments. TNBC cells, by comparison, rely more heavily on iron-driven oxidative metabolism. The lower sensitivity of pancreatic cells to Telomir-1 in the presence of iron restoration may therefore reflect modulation of broader mitochondrial or energy-control systems, consistent with Telomir-1’s function as an epigenetic modulator.
Mechanistic Context: Key Genes and Enzymes
Telomir-1 has previously been shown to influence several tumor suppressor genes and iron-dependent histone demethylases that are also relevant to pancreatic-cancer biology:
MASPIN (SERPINB5) – A “tumor suppressor shield” that regulates cell migration, invasion, and therapy response. Its loss through hypermethylation correlates with poor prognosis in pancreatic and prostate cancers. Telomir-1 has been observed to reduce MASPIN hypermethylation in preclinical models.
RASSF1A (“guardian gene”) – A regulator of cell-cycle braking and apoptosis, frequently silenced by promoter methylation in pancreatic, breast, and lung cancers. Telomir-1 has previously decreased RASSF1A methylation in a dose-dependent manner.
STAT1 – A master coordinator of immune surveillance. When hypermethylated, tumors can evade immune detection. Telomir-1 has shown modulation of STAT1 methylation status in laboratory models, informing its potential relevance to immune-related control mechanisms.
KDM2B (FBXL10) and KDM6B (JMJD3) – Iron-dependent histone demethylases overexpressed in pancreatic and other aggressive cancers, driving transcriptional reprogramming, inflammation, and stem-like tumor behavior. Telomir-1 has demonstrated inhibitory activity against these enzymes.
Together, these previously reported effects provide biological context for Telomir-1’s observed activity in pancreatic cancer models. By modulating genes and enzymes that coordinate DNA-methylation, oxidative stress, and cellular energy regulation, Telomir-1 may offer a unifying framework for understanding shared epigenetic and metabolic vulnerabilities across multiple tumor types.
Executive Commentary
Erez Aminov, Chief Executive Officer of Telomir Pharmaceuticals, stated:
“Our mission has always been to understand and address the root biological drivers of disease, not just their downstream symptoms. Pancreatic cancer is one of the hardest and deadliest malignancies known, and these data advance our understanding of how Telomir-1 interacts with the underlying mechanisms that sustain aggressive tumor biology. Each new finding brings us closer to our goal of translating deep science into meaningful innovation.”
Dr. Angel, Chief Scientific Advisor of Telomir Pharmaceuticals, added:
“From a scientific standpoint, these results continue to refine our mechanistic understanding of Telomir-1. The differential behavior seen in pancreatic versus breast-cancer models helps us map how Telomir-1 influences iron-dependent and mitochondrial pathways in the context of epigenetic regulation. This type of multi-dimensional insight is precisely what’s needed to design smarter, targeted approaches in preclinical oncology research.”
Telomir intends to expand its preclinical research into additional cancer models, including leukemia, and to initiate in vivo validation studies as part of its ongoing Investigational New Drug (IND) preparation.
The Unmet Need in Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies, with an estimated 66,440 new U.S. cases and 51,750 deaths projected in 2024 (American Cancer Society). The five-year survival rate is approximately 12%, the lowest among major cancers (National Cancer Institute SEER).
Current standards of care – FOLFIRINOX, gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel and selected targeted or immunotherapy combinations – extend survival modestly but are limited by toxicity and the rapid emergence of resistance. The disease’s dense stromal barrier, late detection, and ability to rewire its metabolism make it one of the most difficult cancers to treat. This has driven growing interest in therapies that address the epigenetic and metabolic mechanisms enabling tumor persistence.
Why Pancreatic Cancer Remains So Difficult to Treat-and How Telomir-1 Differs
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most complex and treatment-resistant malignancies, driven by a unique combination of biological and environmental challenges. The tumors develop a dense fibrotic stroma that limits drug penetration and oxygen flow, creating a microenvironment that supports survival rather than destruction. These cells also exhibit remarkable metabolic flexibility, switching among glucose, lipid, and amino acid utilization to sustain growth even when nutrients are scarce. This adaptability, together with profound epigenetic dysregulation, enables pancreatic tumors to resist chemotherapy and immune-based therapies alike.
Current front-line regimens-FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine combined with nab-paclitaxel-attack rapidly dividing cells throughout the body. While these treatments can temporarily slow disease progression, they are often associated with severe fatigue, gastrointestinal distress, immune suppression, and peripheral neuropathy, and the benefit typically lasts only months before resistance emerges.
Telomir-1 represents a fundamentally different approach. Rather than relying on cytotoxic mechanisms that indiscriminately damage dividing cells, Telomir-1 is being studied for its ability to modulate epigenetic and metabolic regulators that underlie cancer cell survival. By influencing pathways that control DNA methylation, histone demethylation, mitochondrial activity, and iron balance, Telomir-1 may help reset the abnormal cellular programs that fuel aggressive cancers. This approach aims to reveal tumor vulnerabilities at their regulatory source – potentially offering a more targeted and mechanistically precise strategy for future development.

Breakthrough capability reduces review rates from 100% to as low as 10% while maintaining rigorous SLA compliance and 95%+ quality scores
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / Sama, delivering data certainty for enterprise AI through tech-enabled annotation, validation and evaluation services, today announced the launch of Smart Review, a breakthrough approach to quality assurance (QA) that transforms how AI data labeling projects maintain quality standards. Smart Review challenges the industry’s traditional assumption that 100% review is necessary by focusing on reviewing the right tasks, not all tasks. Organizations can now dramatically reduce review rates from 100% to as low as 10% while still meeting rigorous SLA standards and maintaining trust in their data.
Sama’s Smart Review combines human-in-the-loop (HITL) flexibility with automated intelligence, ensuring that oversight is applied strategically and efficiently. In pilot projects, Sama validated that review rates could be safely reduced to ~10% while maintaining SLA compliance and 95%+ quality scores. This marks a paradigm shift in how enterprises approach AI QA, helping them move away from costly blanket reviews to targeted, intelligent oversight.
“Quality has always been the foundation of AI success, but the industry has been locked into the costly assumption that 100% review is the only way to achieve it,” said Duncan Curtis, SVP of AI product and technology at Sama. “As enterprises increasingly face pressure to deliver trustworthy, high-quality data at scale, Smart Review proves that quality can be both rigorous, efficient and cost-effective.”
Smart Review is available in two forms: Configurable Smart Review allows Sama project teams to set review levels per project or per user, while Automated Smart Review uses performance data to intelligently adjust review percentages week by week, scaling quality oversight automatically without manual intervention. Randomized sampling ensures fairness and maintains rigorous SLA compliance even at reduced review rates, with pilot projects maintaining 95%+ quality scores.
The solution operates seamlessly behind the scenes in the Sama platform, delivering higher efficiency, faster delivery and lower cost of quality without requiring any additional configuration or oversight from customers. For enterprise AI teams that depend on high-quality training data, Smart Review represents a paradigm shift from “reviewing every task” to “reviewing the right tasks,” setting a new benchmark for how quality is measured and maintained in the industry.
“When we set out to build Smart Review, our goal was to rethink quality from the ground up,” said Megan McNeil, Director of Product at Sama. “We designed it to adapt to real-world performance data, so that review effort is applied intelligently rather than indiscriminately. The result is a system that not only reduces cost and effort, but also builds trust in the data pipelines our customers rely on.”
Smart Review is currently available within the Sama Platform and is fully supported by SamaHub™, a collaborative workspace, and by SamaAssure™, the industry’s highest quality guarantee, which routinely delivers a 98% first batch acceptance rate.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / North Shore Uranium Ltd. (TSXV:NSU) (“North Shore” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of a prospecting program on its Falcon Property (“Falcon” or the “Property“) located at the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan.
The prospecting program was completed by Axiom Exploration Group and focused on eighteen priority targets that were identified by North Shore’s technical team. At each of these targets, the crew assessed the mapped surface expression of the interpreted electromagnetic (“EM“) conductor and surrounding area for outcrop and anomalous radioactivity. A Radiation Solutions (model RS-125) scintillometer that measures total radioactivity in counts per second (“cps“) was used to measure the radioactivity of outcrops and boulders and guide the selection of representative rock samples for laboratory analysis.
Significant radioactivity was confirmed in outcrop at targets FA020, up to 20,000 cps (the historic EWA Showing) and FA025, up to 27,000 cps (the historic D Zone Showing area) (Figure 1). In addition, several boulders with elevated radioactivity were discovered, including at targets FA019, close to 7,000 cps and FA033, up to 6,000 cps. Summaries of work done at several targets are presented below. Seventy-four rock samples were collected during the program and they have been submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) Geoanalytical Laboratory for uranium, associated metals and elements and Rare Earth Element analysis. Assay results are pending.
Brooke Clements, President and CEO of North Shore stated: “We think that Falcon has all the right ingredients to yield a signficant new uranium discovery. It is in the Athabasca Basin region, host to Canada’s only two uranium mines and three development-stage projects. Uranium mineralization has been confirmed on the property, and the past-producing Key Lake Uranium Mine and active Key Lake Mill is nearby. We have identified a number of high priority, drill-ready targets along portions of a prominent EM conductor system that have seen no historic drilling.“
PRIORITY TARGETS BY ZONE
Three priority areas have been established at Falcon, Zones 1, 2 and 3. Within these three areas, 36 uranium targets have been identified (Figure 1). The targets are associated with EM conductor anomalies and have been selected based on the analysis and interpretation of multiple geophysical and geologic datasets.
ZONE 1
Located within Zone 1, the South Priority Area includes the three kilometre (“km“) long NNE-trending conductor/structural zone where uranium was discovered by North Shore in 2024 in drill holes P03 and P08 (Figure 2). As reported on May 16, 2024, at P03, a zone from 196.6 to 209.0 metres (“m“) included an interpreted brittle fault zone with graphite-rich fault gouge and two samples that returned 345 and 378 ppm U3O8. At P08, a 4.7 m interval between 42.3 and 47.0 m returned 316 ppm U3O8,including one sample with 572 ppm U3O8. Also at P08, a brittle, altered pegmatitic and graphitic fault zone with elevated U3O8 values up to 50 ppm was intersected from 102.3 to 105.5 m, the modelled depth of the EM conductor.

Figure 1: Property map showing Falcon’s 3 exploration priority zones, priority exploration targets and the targets assessed during the prospecting program in August.
Target FA003 is at the south end of the potential mineralized trend defined by P03 and P08. At FA003, the EM conductor system and an associated magnetic low are disrupted and the system splits, with one arm going to the northeast, the other to the north. In addition, there is a gravity low anomaly which can be an expression of alteration that could be associated with uranium mineralization (Figure 3). The prospecting crew determined that most of the traces of the interpreted EM conductors are covered by muskeg. At the south end of the target zone, weakly radioactive pegmatitic and granitic boulders are present and are associated with an airborne radiometric uranium anomaly.
At target FA005, the conductor is intersected by an interpreted fault. Southwest of this, in an interpreted down-ice direction from the target, the prospecting team identified radioactive boulders within a boulder field. Metasedimentary and granitic boulders had radioactivity readings from 500-3,000 cps (Figure 2). At target FA033, where hole P03 was drilled by North Shore in 2024, a pegmatite boulder that was discovered registered 5,000-6,000 cps.
Approximately two km south of FA003 target FA002 is defined by two strong parallel EM conductors and a parallel magnetic low trend, and it is intersected by an interpreted northwest-trending fault. The conductor/fault intersections are under a lake, but a hill just southeast of the target showed a strong uranium anomaly defined by the 2022 airborne radiometric survey. The crew found several mica-rich stringers of radioactive pegmatite in outcrop in this area.

ZONE 2
Target FA020, in the central portion of Zone 2 includes the EWA showing. It is centered on a short, isolated, strong northeast-trending, 1.5 km long EM conductor (Figures 1 and 4). Up to 0.492% U3O8 and 1,300 ppm lead was encountered in outcrop grab samples within a 10-20 m wide northeast-trending sheared pelitic unit with granitic inliers ([SMDI] 5038). In 2008, JNR Resources drilled seven holes from six sites associated with the EWA showing at the eastern end of the EM conductor. Anomalous uranium, boron, lead, and molybdenum were encountered in structurally disrupted pegmatites; the best result was 0.235% U3O8 over 0.5 m (within a 3.5 m interval of 0.113% U3O8) in hole WYL-08-501 (Sask. Mineral Assessment File 74H02-0045).
The prospecting team located the showing, a radioactive 10 m by 10 m granitic gneiss outcrop characterized by folding, shearing and micro-fracturing with local hematite and clay alteration with readings up to 20,000 cps. North Shore plans to further evaluate the 1.2 km-long conductor system associated with EWA to determine if more drilling may be warranted at different sites along the conductor system or to expand on previous drilling targets.

Target FA019, which is located at the eastern edge of the Property, is a 700 m long, strong EM conductor that is parallel to, and one km south of the main EM conductor trend at Falcon (Figures 1 and 5). The conductor is terminated at its western end by an interpreted prominent north-south-trending fault zone. The prospecting crew found one radioactive boulder that registered close to 7,000 cps on the scintillometer at this location. The granitic gneiss boulder had a 10 cm wide quartz vein with a mica-rich contact that displayed hematite alteration. The interpreted trace of the conductor roughly corresponds with an east-west-trending boulder train within a stream drainage.

ZONE 3
Target FA025 includes the D Zone showing and a complex and isolated approximately one km long anomalous EM response defined by variable conductor strength that is, in part, coincident with a magnetic low feature (Figure 6). The D Zone showing was discovered in 1978 by field inspection of an anomaly identified from an EM survey flown by AGIP in 1978 that was interpreted to be a graphitic conductor. The D Zone showing and associated work programs are described in [SMDI 2455] and Saskatchewan Assessment files 74A14-0034 and 74A14-0035. The showing is described as a uraniferous vein with associated molybdenite and pyrite; a breccia zone was also sampled. The best sample returned 1.26% U and 0.8% Mo. AGIP reported four additional samples from the D Zone area with greater than 1000 ppm (.1%) U. In 1978, a lake sediment sample collected from a small lake 800 m northwest of the D Showing returned 38 ppm U (Figure 6). In 1980 three shallow holes with a cumulative depth of 350 m were drilled by AGIP. One metre sample intervals in zones of anomalous radioactivity in core from two drill holes were analyzed. One of the intervals returned 54 ppm U, the other 36 ppm. Minor hematite, chlorite and kaolinite alteration was encountered throughout the core.
In 2022, a North Shore crew identified elevated radioactivity in one outcrop area coincident with the mapped D Zone location, but the vein was not located. The 2025 prospecting crew traversed much of the target area but was unable to locate the uriniferous vein, it is likely covered by vegetation. The crew did locate two radioactive pegmatite dykes approximately 700 m apart (Figure 6). At the first site, located approximately 500 m north of the target zone and just west of the powerline along the lakeshore, the crew located a pegmatite dyke that was discovered by AGIP in 1978. The 10 m wide, 30 m long coarse-grained dyke exhibited local hematite alteration and background radioactivity readings of 10,000 to 27,000 cps. The eastern coarse-grained pegmatite dyke was approximately 5 m wide and 20 m long, background radioactivity levels of the outcrop ranged from 3,500 to 5,000 cps. The Company intends to integrate the EM conductor models at FA025 with shallow historic drilling and geologic mapping data and consider the drilling of additional and deeper holes. Overall, the isolated EM conductor on land that is coincident with a magnetic low response and proximal to a known uranium showing is a highly prospective target.

NEXT STEPS
In an effort to make a significant new uranium discovery, North Shore is integrating information from the prospecting program with the interpretation of the EM conductors to further evaluate and prioritize targets shown in Figure 1 for potential future drilling programs.
FALCON BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In May 16, 2024, September 17, 2024, October 10, 2024, November 13, 2024, February 27, 2025 and May 6, 2025 news releases, the Company summarized its exploration efforts at Falcon. Historical technical information at Falcon is provided in North Shore’s 2023 technical report link. The primary exploration focus is to prioritize targets in areas that have not seen drilling. Prior to 2024, approximately 50 exploration holes had been drilled at Falcon, with 28 of those completed in 2008. All the 2008 drilling was done along prominent EM conductor systems in Zone 2. Until North Shore’s 2024 drill program, no drilling had been completed along the southern portion of that conductor system.
Falcon consists of 15 mineral claims totaling 55,503 hectares; four of the claims comprising 12,791 hectares are 100 percent-owned by the Company and the remaining 11 claims are subject to an option agreement with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. Under the terms of the option agreement, North Shore has the option to earn an 80 percent interest in the 11 claims by completing certain payments, exploration work and other commitments by October 2026. Falcon is located 30 km east of the active Key Lake uranium mill and former mine. Between 1983 and 2002, the mine produced a total of 209.9 million pounds of U3O8 at an average grade of over 2.0%1.
ABOUT NORTH SHORE
The nuclear power industry is in growth mode as more nuclear power will be required to meet the world’s ambitious CO2 emission-reduction goals and the needs of new power-intensive technologies like AI. In this environment, new discoveries of economic uranium deposits will be very valuable, especially in established uranium-producing jurisdictions like Saskatchewan and New Mexico. North Shore is well-positioned to become a major force in exploration for economic uranium deposits. The Company is working to achieve this goal by exploring Rio Puerco in the Grants Uranium District of New Mexico and its Falcon and West Bear properties at the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. Technical information on the Rio Puerco project is available in North Shore’s June 24, 2025, news release. In addition, the Company continues to evaluate quality opportunities in the United States and Canada to complement its portfolio of uranium properties.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:ASM)(NYSE American:ASM)(FSE:GV6) a long-standing silver producer in Mexico , reports production has remained strong during the quarter, with 580,780 silver equivalent ounces, reflecting steady operational performance, although slightly lower than the previous quarter due to normal mine sequencing. Overall results continue to support the Company’s original production estimate of 2.5 to 2.8 million silver equivalent ounces.
PRODUCTION HIGHLIGHTS – Q3 2025 (COMPARED TO Q3 2024)
Silver Equivalent Production Decreased 13%: Avino produced 580,780 silver equivalent ounces in Q3 2025, representing a decrease from Q3 of 2024. The decrease was driven by lower feed grades in all three metals (silver, gold and copper), as we moved through a lower grade section of the mine plan and was partially offset by significantly improved mill availability of 21%.
Continued Elevated Mill Throughput: In Q3 2025, Avino achieved 21% higher mill throughput versus Q3 2024, totalling 188,757 tonnes of material. These throughput levels built of last quarter’s record and were a result of previous upgrades and automation enhancements made by our operations team, demonstrating significant improvements in mill availability.
Gold Production Increased 19%: Q3 2025 production of 1,935 gold ounces represented a 19% increase compared to Q3 2024. This improved production resulted from the increased tonnes processed, alongside significant improvements in gold recoveries to 74% from 69% in Q3 of 2024.
Silver and Copper Production Decreased 7% and 26%: Avino produced 263,231 silver ounces and 1.3 million pounds of copper in Q3 2025, a decrease in both metals from Q3 of 2024. This decrease was result of lower feed grade from certain areas in our planned mine sequencing, which did have an impact on recoveries as well. This was partially offset by significantly improved mill availability of 21%.

“This quarter’s results reflect the natural variability in our mining sequence, but our overall performance remains solid, and we’re on track to meet our annual production guidance range,” said David Wolfin, President and CEO of Avino. “We have continued to focus on operational excellence, and it’s demonstrated in our high mill availability and sustained throughput. The progress at La Preciosa has been exceptional. We are excited to start transporting stockpiled material from La Preciosa to the mill at Avino, well ahead of expectations, as we move closer to announcing first production. In addition, the incredible rise in metal prices has provided a welcome boost to our margins, supporting our continued growth.”
Balance Sheet Update
Avino had approximately US$55 million in cash at September 30th, 2025. Our balance sheet continues to strengthen as we execute on our transformational growth strategy.
La Preciosa Update
The Gloria and Abundancia veins have been intercepted on the San Fernando ramp that has been driven from surface. The ramp continues to be driven, with progress currently down to Level 4. Over 6,700 tons of mineralized material had been stockpiled as of the end of Q3 2025, and trucking to the Avino Mill for processing is now underway. Hiring and training of equipment operators is ongoing and currently employs seventy people working across three shifts. All requirement mining equipment is on site already and standby equipment has been purchased to ensure continuous operation of site services. Offices and other building infrastructure are also being added. Recent photos showcasing the work at La Preciosa are available on the Avino website – click here to view them.
Exploration Program and Resource & Reserve Update
At Avino, the ramp at the Elena Tolosa (“ET”) area has been driven down to Level 17.5, as we continue with development for future production mining. The 2025 drilling program commenced in April with a program consisting of nine planned holes from surface, with six now complete. The objective of the ET Area drill program is two-fold; One to test the downdip extension of the system below the current lowest mining level, following the trend of previous drilling reported on September 14, 2023 as well as to test the extension of the system along strike to the west. The Avino Vein remains open at depth and along strike, and earlier results have shown comparable grades and widths to those currently being mined. Drilling continues with over 3500m drilled to date. The latest results will be publicized when the assays have been received, and all data has been verified.
A second surface drill was deployed at La Preciosa to confirm prior drill results from previous operators and to improve the understanding of the grade zonation close to the scheduled mining areas near the ramp. Earlier drill core from previous operators, was extensively utilized to provide sample data for earlier technical reports, so remaining samples were limited. Since the last drill results were release ( August 18, 2025 ) drilling has continued and the latest results will be publicized when all the assays have been receive and all data has been verified. Drilling information will be utilized in underground mine planning, 3D modelling as well as an update to the Resource estimate that is due in Q1 2026. In addition, Avino is planning on releasing its first mineral reserve estimate at the same time as the Company has now met the requirements for a Producing Issuer under the NI 43-101 standards of disclosure for mineral projects.

Cautionary note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
All reserve and resource estimates reported by Avino were estimated in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) now recognizes estimates of “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” and uses new definitions of “proven mineral reserves” and “probable mineral reserves” that are substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards. However, the CIM Definition Standards differ from the requirements applicable to US domestic issuers. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources,” “inferred mineral resources”, “proven mineral reserves”, or “probable mineral reserves” that the Issuer reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, “inferred mineral resources” are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade are estimated on the basis of limited geologic evidence and sampling. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / The global plastics industry isn’t pocket change – it’s an $824 billion arena, and it’s long overdue for proof. Not about the polymers themselves, but about whether sustainability and recycling efforts are actually what companies say they are. The world’s patience for pledges has expired. Investors, regulators, and consumers want data – verifiable, tamper-proof data.
That shift in expectation has exposed decades of empty promises and greenwashing gloss. Conferences and commitments didn’t move the needle because talk doesn’t build trust. The market has finally caught up to a single truth: proof is currency. And in the $50 billion global recycling market, that currency carries real purchasing power – something SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is positioning itself to own.
And it can. That’s because SMX doesn’t sell slogans; it sells evidence. Its molecular marker technology embeds identity at the material level, turning plastics into self-verifying assets. Each marked polymer carries its own digital passport – a permanent fingerprint that can be tracked across its entire lifecycle, from collection to reprocessing and resale.
That might sound like chemistry, but it’s actually economics. For decades, mistrust over recycled content has stalled capital and slowed adoption. SMX changes that equation by transforming recyclables from “probable” to provable. It’s not just a scientific milestone – it’s a financial one.
Markets Are Choosing Proof Over Promises There’s never been a better time for that shift. Global demand for recycled plastics is skyrocketing as governments impose quotas, consumer brands pledge net-zero packaging, and ESG investors insist on measurable impact. Yet, recycling rates remain frustratingly low – barely in the teens across the U.S. and not much better elsewhere. The weak link has always been verification. Without it, trust collapses, premiums vanish, and the circular economy stalls.
SMX’s solution flips the script. By embedding proof directly into materials, it upgrades recycled plastic from a discounted commodity to a premium product with traceable value. The company has already validated its system at scale – first by marking and tracing 21 tons of natural rubber from tree to tire, and now applying that same methodology to plastics globally.
Across ASEAN, SMX is embedding markers through partnerships with Bio-Packaging, Skypac, and A*STAR, turning everyday packaging into blockchain-verifiable materials. In the U.S., its Tradepro partnership is deploying FDA-compliant molecular markers in food-grade plastics – bringing traceability to one of the most tightly regulated industries on the planet. SMX has also teamed with REDWAVE to successfully sort and verify black and flame-retardant plastics – materials that were once recycling dead-ends.
Proof Points Become Profit Points Each new success across industries and continents reinforces the same pattern: SMX isn’t just participating in the circular economy – it’s becoming its operating system. And the entity that controls the operating system usually captures the lion’s share of the value.
The real story here isn’t regulation; it’s monetization. SMX’s molecular markers, combined with digital ledger verification and tokenized credits through its Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), turn waste into verified assets. Recycled materials gain a digital identity – one that can be audited, traded, and valued. What began as a compliance tool is evolving into an entirely new asset class.
So, the question is no longer whether recycled plastics matter. It’s who will own the proof layer that makes global circularity possible. SMX has spent years developing that backbone, and it’s stepping into the market at the exact moment proof became non-negotiable.
For brands, regulators, and stakeholders, that’s not just an innovation – it’s an invitation. Proof is now measurable, tradable, and profitable. SMX didn’t wait for the circular economy to arrive. It’s already powering it.
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.
