(NASDAQ:FFR) FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. has completed its acquisition of the robotics business and related assets of Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ:FFAI) as of October 23, 2026.

FFR announced three new strategic partnerships: with KYA GROUP, California Science and Technology University and Boston International Business School (to establish the BIBS-FF-CSTU Joint Robotics Lab), and Pinnacle, a leading Southern California real estate brokerage. FFR unveiled FF OmniMind as the brand name for its unified AI brain powering all robotic forms under its "One Brain, All Robots; Multi-Forms, Multi-Capabilities" philosophy. The company has completed Phase One of its "Built in USA" Acceleration Program and completed FF Robot World 2.0.

This guidance includes periods before the acquisition and does not represent FFR's reported consolidated results for 2026; FFR will include the acquired business's results in its consolidated financial statements only from the October 23, 2026 closing date. In its five-year business plan outlook, FFR projects 2027 revenue of approximately $45.2 million, including $32.5 million from the EAI Devices core and $12.7 million from the other three ecosystem cores, and EAI Device sales of approximately 7,400 units.

(TSXV:TAG) TruSilver Metals Corp. has engaged Independent Trading Group (ITG), Inc. to provide market-making services in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policies, subject to regulatory approval. ITG will trade shares of TruSilver on the TSXV and all other trading venues to maintain a reasonable market and improve liquidity of the Company's common shares. ITG will receive compensation of C$5,500 per month, payable monthly in advance. The agreement is for an initial term of one month and will automatically renew for additional one-month terms unless terminated by either party with 30 days' notice. There are no performance factors in the agreement, and ITG will not receive shares or options as compensation.

ITG is expected to commence market-making activities when TruSilver's common shares begin trading on October 27, 2026. TruSilver Metals Corp. owns 100% of the Sturgis-Walton Silver Project in Nova Scotia, which is free of a net smelter return royalty (NSR) and is adjacent to the historic Walton Mine, where historical sources report mined ore head grades of 350-933 g/t silver (Ag). Overlapping magnetic, gravity, and audio-magnetotelluric anomalies define a priority exploration target, and historic drilling, downhole geophysics, and 3D modelling are guiding the Company's planned 2026/27 diamond drilling program to test for mineralization at depth. The initial drilling target has been defined and a drilling permit is in place. In late 2025, Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. staked all open mineral claims in the Minas sub-basin, comprising 2,363 claims under 30 exploration licences, surrounding the Sturgis-Walton Silver Project. Rio Tinto is not affiliated with TruSilver, and its activities are not indicative of mineralization on TruSilver's property. TruSilver's team members have contributed to the aggregated discovery or acquisition of over 31 million ounces of gold and led completion and initial ramp-up of a US$7 billion nickel project. Michael Gross is President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of TruSilver Metals Corp.
