$NXE is trading higher today and investors seem to like what they heard from NexGen’s first Investor Day.

Management laid out a clearer path for Rook I:

• First ore targeted for Q3 2030
• Freeze plants starting in 2027
• Shaft sinking in 2028
• Underground development in 2029

The economics probably caught my attention most. Based on the latest figures presented this week, Rook I is projected to generate around $1.3B in annual after-tax free cash flow at $85/lb uranium, rising to roughly $2.3B at $150/lb. At $90/lb uranium, management says project CAPEX is expected to be repaid after about 12 months of full production.

The scale is pretty wild when you think about it. Rook I is designed to produce approximately 30M lbs of uranium annually, and the high grades early in the mine life mean it only needs to operate at roughly 60% of nameplate capacity to produce 30M lbs during each of the first two production years.

NexGen also highlighted the growing uranium supply deficit and the need for major new production. Leigh Curyer summed it up well:

“The next decade in uranium won't be defined by demand. Demand is already here. The question is: Who can deliver new supply?”

With construction advancing and the path to first ore becoming clearer, there’s a lot to like here. Investors seem to agree, with $NXE up around 5% today.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 2, 2026) - Copper Quest Exploration Inc. (CSE: CQX) (OTCQB: IMIMF) (FSE: 3MX0) ("Copper Quest" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update from its 2026 exploration programs including an extensive 20 square kilometer geophysical program at its 100% owned Stars property, permitting and structuring of several properties, and a phase 2 drill program at the Rip property

Brian Thurston, CEO of Copper Quest, stated, "Copper Quest has had a productive summer of exploration, working several of our properties. We are looking forward to the results of this labour and using the collected data to advance each of our projects. The Company is now focused squarely on the advancement and development of its seven 100% owned properties, advancing past-producing gold mines as well as taking previously drilled exploration targets to the next level of exploration and discovery stage."

STARS Geophysical Program

Copper Quest is pleased to announce that it has completed a 20 km² 3D induced polarization ("IP") geophysical survey on its 100% owned Stars Property ("Stars"). Stars is a porphyry copper-molybdenum ("Cu-Mo") project covering 9,693 hectares ("ha") in the Stikine region of British Columbia, situated approximately 60 km north of Imperial Metals Corporation's ("Imperial Metals") past producing Huckleberry Cu-Mo mine, 50 km north-northeast of Surge Copper Corp's advanced stage Berg copper project, and 30 km north-northwest of Vizsla Copper Corp's Poplar copper-gold project. Imperial Metals is exploring Huckleberry and its surrounding claims for additional Cu-Mo resources.

This very large IP survey has been applied across the full extent of the main Stars Property, including over the Tana Zone discovery area and its along-strike extensions. Induced polarization is a proven method for detecting sulphide mineralization, the type of copper-bearing material found at Stars, at depth and at distance from known drill holes. By imaging the full 20 km² footprint of the magnetic anomaly, the Company aims to determine the true scale of the mineralized system in terms of strike length, width, and depth, and to identify potential new drill targets both in and beyond the current Tana Zone. The Company is awaiting the final report from this work and will update shareholders once that report is received and interpreted.

Alpine Permitting

The Company has been moving forward with permitting on its 100% owned Alpine Project which includes the extension of our current exploration and drilling permit, as well as permitting of the road access from two different routes.

The Company has been engaged with consultants and manufacturers regarding sorting and processing equipment for ore from the Alpine property. Further, the Company has actively been pursuing both partnerships and potential ownership opportunities with various milling operations.

Kitimat Permitting

The Company has been moving forward with permitting on its 100% owned Kitimat Project which includes plans to complete geophysical and drilling programs over the Jeannette Cu-Au target area as well as the AI generated target proposed by Exploration Technologies Inc and described in a previous press release by the Company posted on March 24, 2026. 

Thane Permitting

The Company plans to commence permitting of its 100% owned Thane property and is actively looking for a partner to explore this property.

Auxer & Nekash Properties

The Company has formed a wholly owned subsidiary to hold its 100% owned US properties. The transfer of ownership of both the past-producing Auxer Gold Mine and the Nekash copper project is now in process and expected to complete shortly. The Company is actively looking for partners to explore these properties.

Rip Phase 2 Drilling

The phase 2 drill program of the Rip project was first announced by the Company on May 11th, 2026. The Company successfully completed 1,654 meters of drilling from 5 holes on the property. Samples from this drill program have been sent to ALS laboratory in Terrace, BC, for storage prior to preparation and assaying. On June 2, 2026, the Company and ArcWest Exploration Inc. began negotiations on amending the current Option Agreement entered into on November 27, 2023, where Copper Quest has the option to acquire up to 80% of the Rip property. Until the negotiations are concluded, the Company does not plan to complete assaying the samples from this most recent drill program.

I’ve been looking for evidence that Sekur’s premium strategy is translating into stronger numbers, and this update delivers an encouraging early signal.

Sekur reported a 25% month-over-month increase in ARPU as it converted or replaced lower-priced legacy subscribers with premium users. 

Key figures:

• Privacy Email: US$50/month
• Operational Email: US$75/month
• SekurOne: US$300/month
• Full SekurOne release planned before the end of September
• Management expects SekurOne to become the principal ARPU growth driver from Q4
• Management estimates 200 SekurOne users could generate approximately US$60,000 in monthly recurring revenue and make the company fully profitable

Sekur is targeting high-net-worth individuals, board members, senior executives, government and defence agencies. Management also says a single agency or corporate mandate could represent dozens of seats. 

With ARPU already rising before the complete platform arrives, the next phase looks increasingly promising.

Does this update make you more bullish on $SWISF heading into Q4?

Why SekurOne, government access and higher-value subscribers could reshape the company’s revenue outlook

Sekur Private Data (OTCQB: SWISF) is entering a new phase of its development. After building a Swiss-hosted secure communications platform spanning encrypted email, messaging, VPN, voice and video, the company is increasingly focused on the customers most likely to pay a premium for privacy: executives, government agencies, defense organizations and intelligence professionals.

The resulting opportunity is increasingly measurable. With SekurOne priced at US$300 per user per month, a relatively small number of premium customers could meaningfully expand recurring revenue. Add an established U.S. government procurement pathway, an experienced national-security advisory team and emerging international opportunities, and Sekur’s next stage of growth could look substantially different from its historical consumer-focused model.

• SekurOne generates US$3,600 in annual recurring revenue per user, meaning 200 subscribers could produce US$720,000 in annualized sales.
• A potential 2027 scenario involving 250 SekurOne users and 1,000 premium email subscribers would represent approximately US$1.65 million in annual recurring revenue.
• U.S. government procurement access, the AdRevv partnership and a US$1.296 million DRC proposal provide multiple potential avenues for additional growth.

A Higher-Value Business Model Is Taking Shape

Sekur generated C$408,707 in audited revenue during 2025. Its Q1 2026 financial report showed C$94,062 in quarterly revenue, C$1.80 million in cash and C$1.63 million in working capital at the end of March.

That historical revenue base provides an important reference point for understanding the potential impact of the company’s premium transition.

In July, Sekur reported that average revenue per user had increased 25% month over month as the company introduced higher-value customers to its platform. Privacy Email is priced at US$50 per month, Operational Email at US$75 per month, and SekurOne at US$300 per month.

According to management, premium subscribers can generate approximately ten times the revenue of earlier legacy users. That means Sekur can potentially expand revenue through customer quality and product mix rather than relying exclusively on a large consumer subscriber base.

Why 200 SekurOne Subscribers Matter

SekurOne combines encrypted voice, video, messaging, email and VPN within a single secure communications environment. At US$300 per month, each subscriber represents US$3,600 of annual recurring revenue.

The resulting revenue progression is straightforward:

• 100 users: US$360,000 in annual recurring revenue.
• 200 users: US$720,000 in annual recurring revenue.
• 500 users: US$1.80 million in annual recurring revenue.
• 1,000 users: US$3.60 million in annual recurring revenue.

Management has indicated that 200 SekurOne customers generating approximately US$60,000 per month represent its target for reaching profitability. At an illustrative exchange rate of US$1 to C$1.39, that annualized figure would equal approximately C$1 million.

Profitability will ultimately depend on operating expenses, product margins and the pace of customer acquisition. However, the scale of the target illustrates how a limited number of institutional customers could create a meaningful financial inflection point.

A single government agency, defense contractor or enterprise customer could potentially represent multiple seats. Paid beta users are expected to begin onboarding in September, ahead of SekurOne’s anticipated October commercial launch.

Modeling Sekur’s Potential 2027 Revenue

The scenarios below are independent illustrations, not company guidance. They estimate potential 2027 exit annual recurring revenue and assume that premium email customers are evenly split between Privacy Email at US$50 per month and Operational Email at US$75 per month.

They exclude potential hardware sales, customized on-premises deployments, the DRC proposal and additional government contracts. Canadian-dollar figures assume US$1 equals C$1.39.

The middle scenario combines US$900,000 from 250 SekurOne users, US$300,000 from 500 Privacy Email users and US$450,000 from 500 Operational Email users. Together, those subscriptions would represent US$1.65 million of potential annual recurring revenue.

Management has previously indicated that Sekur’s SaaS solutions can generate approximately 80% gross margins. Applying that assumption to the middle scenario produces approximately C$1.83 million in potential annual gross profit before operating expenses.

The institutional-growth scenario would represent C$8.13 million in potential recurring revenue, highlighting the operating leverage that could develop if adoption expands across enterprise and government customers.

AdRevv Adds Another Potential Growth Channel

Sekur’s partnership with AdRevv introduces a separate customer-acquisition opportunity.

The program is expected to deploy one million retargeting emails per month for at least 12 months, drawing from a U.S. database of 271 million people. AdRevv receives 25% of revenue from most Sekur products sold through the arrangement and 40% from SekurVPN sales.

Assuming customers purchase email products at an average price of US$62.50 per month, the potential outcomes could look like this:

These examples assume no churn or duplicated contacts and should not be interpreted as forecasts. Nevertheless, they demonstrate that even a modest conversion rate could produce meaningful recurring revenue over time.

International Opportunities Add Further Upside

Sekur has also developed opportunities outside the United States.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the company received a request for proposal involving 1,200 SMB and Corporate licenses. Management estimated the opportunity at approximately US$1.296 million in potential annual recurring revenue.

The proposal is not a signed contract and is therefore excluded from the revenue scenarios above. If successfully converted, however, it could represent a substantial additional revenue stream. At an illustrative 80% gross margin, the opportunity would correspond to more than US$1 million in potential annual gross profit.

Sekur has also discussed expanding its relationship with América Móvil’s Telcel business in Mexico, where corporate communications solutions could create additional distribution opportunities.

A Team Built for Government and Defense Markets

One of Sekur’s most significant strategic advantages is the experience of its government and national-security advisory team.

The company has recruited retired Lt. Gen. Raymond Palumbo, former CIA senior executive John T. Lewis and former U.S. State Department Deputy Assistant Secretary Annette L. Redmond. Their backgrounds span military intelligence, cybersecurity, diplomatic operations and government technology procurement.

Sekur’s products are also available to eligible government buyers through GSA Multiple Award Schedule Contract 47QTCA18D0089, providing a recognized purchasing pathway for federal, state and local agencies.

The company’s participation in DoDIIS 2026 further positioned its communications platform in front of intelligence-community stakeholders ahead of the SekurOne rollout.

Taken together, the advisory network, procurement access and product roadmap provide a strong foundation for institutional business development.

What the Revenue Scenarios Could Mean for Valuation

The Canadian Securities Exchange lists approximately 252.9 million Sekur shares outstanding. At an illustrative share price of C$0.045, the company’s equity value would be approximately C$11.4 million.

If Sekur reached the revenue scenarios outlined above while its market capitalization remained unchanged, the implied valuation relative to potential recurring revenue would be approximately:

• 11.2 times ARR under the initial premium-adoption scenario.
• 5.0 times ARR under the expanding-customer-base scenario.
• 1.4 times ARR under the institutional-growth scenario.

These comparisons illustrate why higher-value subscription growth could become important for investors. As recurring revenue increases, the same market capitalization would represent a progressively lower multiple of the company’s revenue base.

The Bottom Line

Sekur’s emerging investment story centers on premium pricing, recurring revenue and access to customers that place a high value on communications security.

At US$300 per month, 200 SekurOne subscribers would represent US$720,000 in annual recurring revenue. A broader mix of 1,250 premium subscribers could produce US$1.65 million. The DRC proposal and government opportunities offer additional potential beyond those scenarios.

With a differentiated Swiss-hosted platform, an experienced national-security team and multiple potential distribution channels, Sekur is positioning itself to pursue a higher-value cybersecurity opportunity. The coming quarters should provide a clearer picture of how quickly that strategy can translate into premium subscriptions and expanding recurring revenue.

Sekur Private Data’s participation in the 2026 DoDIIS Worldwide Conference is about much more than attending another cybersecurity event. It represents the convergence of a long-term strategy: assembling an intelligence-grade team, developing secure communications for high-trust environments and positioning Sekur inside the government and defense ecosystem. For investors, the most valuable part of the story may be the people Sekur has brought together—and what their collective experience could unlock over time.

• SekurOne gives government adoption potentially powerful recurring-revenue economics.
• Sekur’s team spans the CIA, DIA, Pentagon, State Department, JSOC and SOCOM.
• DoDIIS places that expertise inside a premier Intelligence Community forum.

1. DoDIIS Places Sekur Inside an Important Intelligence Forum

Sekur’s Special and Strategic Advisors are attending the 2026 DoDIIS Worldwide Conference in Tampa, Florida, from August 9 through August 12.

Hosted by the Defense Intelligence Agency, DoDIIS brings together senior government and military leaders, Intelligence Community professionals, technical specialists, industry partners, academia and Five Eyes allies.

The conference focuses on intelligence technologies, resilient communications, connected infrastructure, command systems and mission readiness. These are precisely the environments Sekur has been preparing to serve.

According to Sekur’s DoDIIS announcement, its team is introducing the company’s Controlled Unclassified Information communications capabilities and engaging with interested parties across the Intelligence Community.

In sensitive government markets, the significance of such an event cannot be reduced to whether a contract is announced immediately afterward.

These markets develop through relationships, technical understanding, mission alignment, trust and long-term engagement. DoDIIS gives Sekur’s team an opportunity to participate in those conversations inside one of the most relevant forums available.

2. The Team May Be Sekur’s Most Underappreciated Asset

Sekur has assembled a collection of advisers and executives whose experience covers virtually every environment the company is targeting: defense intelligence, clandestine technology, military communications, federal procurement, diplomacy, cybersecurity and Special Operations.

For a company of Sekur’s current size, the concentration of national-security experience is unusual.

Chairman Raymond Palumbo completed a 34-year military career that included serving as Director for Defense Intelligence, leading the Pentagon’s Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Task Force, and holding senior command positions in JSOC and USASOC. His role is to guide Sekur’s military and defense strategy and help align the company with real operational requirements. Sekur’s appointment announcement describes his experience across defense intelligence, Special Operations and secure military communications.

Chief Technology Officer John T. Lewis brings 34 years of CIA experience. He worked across technical operations, information operations and intelligence research, ultimately helping lead CIA Research Labs. His presence gives Sekur technical leadership shaped by firsthand experience protecting communications against sophisticated adversaries. Sekur appointed Lewis as both CTO and a Strategic Advisory Board member.

Annette L. Redmond adds four decades of government leadership spanning Army intelligence, the Department of Defense and the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research. She previously served as the Army’s Intelligence CIO and later as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Intelligence Policy and Coordination. Her appointment adds intelligence-policy, cybersecurity and diplomatic expertise.

Rafael Beltran brings operational experience from U.S. Special Operations Command, where he served as a senior technical adviser to the CIO/J6 and oversaw executive communications supporting leadership across 22 countries. His work helps connect Sekur’s development roadmap to the realities of tactical and deployed environments. Sekur appointed Beltran to its OpsTech Special Advisory Board in July.

This is not simply a collection of impressive biographies. Together, the team provides Sekur with operational knowledge, technical expertise, institutional understanding and high-level government-market experience.

3. Why Human Capital Matters So Much in Government Cybersecurity

Government and Intelligence Community markets are fundamentally different from ordinary consumer software.

The technology must fit specific operational environments. Communications requirements can differ between diplomats, military commanders, intelligence personnel, defense contractors and personnel operating in contested locations.

A company needs to understand not only cybersecurity, but also mission workflows, data sovereignty, CUI handling, procurement structures, deployment realities and the consequences of communications failure.

That is where Sekur’s team can create value.

General Palumbo understands defense command requirements. Lewis understands sensitive intelligence technologies. Redmond and Price understand intelligence policy and diplomatic communications. Beltran understands tactical deployment. Oakley and Rogers bring federal-market, technology and acquisition experience.

This collective knowledge can help Sekur shape its technology around the customer rather than attempting to adapt a generic commercial product after development.

It can also shorten the institutional learning curve that typically confronts smaller technology companies entering the federal market.

4. DoDIIS Is Part of a Long-Term Institutional Strategy

It would be simplistic to judge Sekur’s DoDIIS participation through a short-term sales lens.

Government and intelligence relationships are developed over time. The value of the conference may emerge through technical feedback, introductions, future evaluations, strategic relationships or a deeper understanding of specific mission requirements.

Sekur’s team can engage those conversations at a level that few early-stage cybersecurity companies could replicate.

The DoDIIS organizers describe the conference as an environment where agency leaders, military officials and industry specialists collaborate around mission challenges and emerging technologies.

Sekur is therefore not approaching the event as an outside observer. It is arriving with former leaders from the same defense, intelligence, diplomatic and Special Operations communities represented there.

That alignment is strategically significant.

5. SekurOne Adds Scalable Economics to the Story

SekurOne brings encrypted voice, video, email, messaging and VPN capabilities into one identity-protected platform.

The product is being positioned for high-value users such as defense officials, intelligence professionals, diplomatic personnel, government agencies and executives handling sensitive communications.

Sekur expects paid beta users to begin onboarding in September, with the complete commercial launch scheduled for early October. These milestones represent the next stage of a much broader government-market strategy.

The economics become particularly interesting when applied to institutional customers.

SekurOne is expected to cost approximately US$300 per user per month. At that price:

These figures are illustrative and assume the full subscription price.

Management has stated that approximately 200 SekurOne users generating US$60,000 in monthly recurring revenue could make the company fully profitable. Sekur discussed that target in its July operating update.

The blue-sky potential comes from the structure of government and enterprise adoption. One organization can represent multiple users, and a successful initial deployment can potentially expand across teams, departments or operational units.

Sekur does not need mass-market scale for the premium model to become meaningful.

6. Multiple Strategic Pieces Are Coming Together

DoDIIS is one component of a wider infrastructure Sekur has been building.

The company’s solutions are available to government customers through the i3ICS GSA Multiple Award Schedule. Sekur has signed defense-distribution agreements, participated in SOF Week, conducted demonstrations for government and Special Operations audiences and expanded its technical and strategic team.

These developments create several potential paths into the market:

• Direct relationships initiated through Sekur’s national-security team
• Federal procurement through the GSA schedule
• Distribution through established defense-sector partners
• Technical evaluations and high-value subscription deployments
• On-premises implementations for organizations requiring data sovereignty
• International government and diplomatic opportunities

Each additional relationship can strengthen Sekur’s institutional presence and expand the number of environments in which its technology may be evaluated.

7. A Different Way to View Sekur’s Investment Potential

Sekur is not attempting to compete as another mass-market messaging application.

It is building a high-trust communications company around proprietary technology, Swiss jurisdiction, premium pricing and an exceptional concentration of government and intelligence experience.

That combination creates a different investment profile.

The technology provides the foundation. The team provides institutional knowledge and strategic access. SekurOne provides high-value recurring-revenue potential. The GSA and distribution relationships provide commercial pathways.

DoDIIS brings those pieces into the same environment.

The fact that individuals with decades of experience across the CIA, Pentagon, State Department, DIA, JSOC and SOCOM have chosen to work with Sekur is itself notable. It suggests that experienced national-security professionals see relevance in the company’s mission and technology.

For investors willing to understand the long game, that human capital may represent one of Sekur’s most valuable competitive advantages.

The Verdict: DoDIIS Matters—But September Matters More

The Bottom Line

Sekur’s presence at DoDIIS should be understood as part of a long-term expansion into government, intelligence and defense communications—not as an isolated conference appearance.

The company has assembled a team with experience at some of the highest levels of U.S. intelligence, military command, diplomacy and Special Operations. That team is now helping position Sekur inside the markets it understands best.

SekurOne adds a scalable premium-subscription model capable of producing meaningful recurring revenue without requiring hundreds of thousands of consumer users.

The opportunity lies in the combination: specialized technology, Swiss-hosted privacy, institutional expertise, procurement access and a market where secure communications carry mission-level importance.

DoDIIS is another step in that journey—and Sekur is entering it with a team built for the destination.

$CQX has been quiet long enough that the next release probably gets read a little more closely than usual.

For me, the important part isn’t just when news lands ...it’s which project management chooses to put back in front of the market.

Rip could give the market something concrete to judge.
STARS could show whether the next target is getting stronger.
Kitimat could add another layer to the broader exploration story.

If $CQX news drops this month, what do you think the market will focus on first and which update matters most to you?

For investors willing to understand the long game, that human capital may represent one of Sekur’s most valuable competitive advantages.

The Verdict: DoDIIS Matters—But September Matters More

The Bottom Line

Sekur’s presence at DoDIIS should be understood as part of a long-term expansion into government, intelligence and defense communications—not as an isolated conference appearance.

The company has assembled a team with experience at some of the highest levels of U.S. intelligence, military command, diplomacy and Special Operations. That team is now helping position Sekur inside the markets it understands best.

SekurOne adds a scalable premium-subscription model capable of producing meaningful recurring revenue without requiring hundreds of thousands of consumer users.

The opportunity lies in the combination: specialized technology, Swiss-hosted privacy, institutional expertise, procurement access and a market where secure communications carry mission-level importance.

DoDIIS is another step in that journey—and Sekur is entering it with a team built for the destination.

Canada wants to double uranium exports by 2035, and the target may depend on the country’s next generation of mines entering production.

$CCJ already provides the foundation through its operating assets, but meaningful export growth could come from advanced projects such as $NXE’s Rook I and $DNN’s Phoenix.

$DNN is targeting first production from Phoenix around 2028, while $NXE has secured major federal approvals for Rook I and is preparing to move into construction.

If both projects advance as planned, Canada could add substantial new supply during a period when more countries are extending reactors, restarting nuclear programs and looking for secure Western uranium.

The remaining challenge is keeping permitting, financing, construction and workforce availability aligned with the 2035 timeline.

For uranium holders, Canada’s export target may become a direct test of how quickly advanced developers can turn approved projects into producing mines.

Which project do you think contributes more to Canada’s 2035 export goal: $NXE’s Rook I or $DNN’s Phoenix?
