SCRIPTED DRAMA & ADULT COMEDY
Corus continues to bring Canadian audiences the best in premium entertainment through its exclusive long-term partnership with NBCUniversal, delivering a powerhouse catalogue of Peacock and Sky Original series. This season stands out with compelling new shows alongside acclaimed returning titles featuring A-list talent. Viewers can catch these series on W Network and Showcase, with all episodes available to stream on STACKTV. Additional launch details will roll out as the season takes shape.
Showcase
Showcase is gearing up for a breakout season with buzz-worthy new titles including, The Paper, a mockumentary from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, starring Domhnall Gleeson (About Time, Ex-Machina) and Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus). The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch in The Office is in search of a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it. The Copenhagen Test, starring Simu Liu, is an espionage thriller series that follows first generation-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale (Liu) who realizes his brain has been hacked, giving the perpetrators access to everything he sees and hears.
The stakes remain high with PONIES, a spy thriller series starring Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson, where two "Ponies" ("persons of no interest" in intelligence speak) work anonymously as secretaries in the American Embassy. That is, until their husbands are killed under mysterious circumstances in the USSR and the pair become CIA operatives.
The symphony of hits continues with Amadeus, a new Sky limited series starring Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) and Paul Bettany (A Very British Scandal, WandaVision) that centers around 25-year-old Amadeus (Sharpe) eager to break free from his child prodigy past and controlling father, Amadeus arrives in 18th-century Vienna and meets the devoutly religious court composer, Antonio Salieri (Bettany). What begins as curiosity quickly spirals into a murderous obsession as Salieri recognizes the divine genius in Amadeus' music—music so transcendent it shakes Salieri's faith to its core.
Also, Ted, the live-action comedy based on the blockbuster film franchise is back for a second season with Seth MacFarlane reprising the voice of the iconic and lovable foul-mouthed teddy bear. The franchise is also expanding with Ted: The Animated Series (WT), a new animated comedy from MacFarlane that continues Ted's misadventures following the events of the films. The reign of Bel-Air continues as the modern-day reimagining of the iconic culture-defining '90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, returns for Season 4.

The Company maintains its Woxna Graphite mine in a 'production-ready' basis while minimizing costs. The Company is also evaluating a potential restart of flake graphite concentrate production. The Company anticipates that it has sufficient funding to meet anticipated levels of corporate administration and overheads for the ensuing twelve months however, it will need additional capital to provide working capital and recommence operations at the Woxna Graphite, to fund future development of the Norra Kärr project or to complete exploration activities in Romania. There is no assurance such additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. In the longer term the recoverability of the carrying value of the Company's long-lived assets is dependent upon the Company's ability to preserve its interest in the underlying mineral property interests, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations and the ability of the Company to obtain financing to support its ongoing exploration programs and mining operations. Outlook Concerns about critical raw materials – security of supply, supply chain resilience and defence requirements – have been recurring themes at conferences attended by the Company in recent months, with HREEs and natural graphite frequently mentioned; geopolitical uncertainties continue, with more talk about the weaponization of global trade in rare earth elements. On June 17, 2025, the G7 Critical Minerals Action Plan was announced focused on 'diversifying the responsible production and supply of critical minerals, encouraging investments in critical mineral projects and local value creation, and promoting innovation' in the G7, and with partners beyond, working together and 'to swiftly protect our economic and national security''. Against this backdrop and calls for more action to match the intent of the CRMA, the Company's portfolio is well positioned. Woxna Graphite Mine The Company maintains the Woxna Graphite Mine in a production-ready state while minimizing holding costs. An internal study completed in early 2022 assessed the potential for restarting operations and upgrading the processing plant to produce high-quality flake graphite concentrate. Work is now underway to update this study, forming the basis of a business plan to support possible project financing, customer prepayments, and access to Swedish or EU public funding, and, in addition. Highlighting Sweden's role in CRMs and graphite's importance, Sweden's Energy, Business and Industry Minister Ebba Busch recently stated that 'Sweden has unique opportunities to be and remain a strong player in global mineral politics. We have the most sustainable mining industry in the world – ethically sustainable, environmentally sustainable, and with good working conditions. The graphite that [Talga Group] is planning to produce is a key material in battery manufacturing and the green transition to a fossil-fuel-free society.' Norra Kärr Heavy Rare Earth Element ('HREE') Project As part of its Pre-feasibility ('PFS') workstreams, the Company is developing a Rapid Development Plan ('RDP') for Norra Kärr to enable the earliest possible production of HREE-rich eudialyte concentrate and industrial mineral nepheline syenite. A phased, small-scale start is under consideration to allow early access to the deposit, initial sales of nepheline syenite, early cash flow, and stockpiling of eudialyte concentrate for future processing. This approach is designed to reduce both risk and environmental impacts. Testwork has now been completed on nepheline syenite and aegirine to determine their mineralogy, chemical composition, and leachate chemistry. The promising results are being used to determine possible market segments and specifications that can be achieved, potential demand and pricing, to be included in an updated PFS economic model for Norra Kärr. The Company envisages the PFS will be completed in Q1 2026. On 24 March 2025, the EU announced its first list of Strategic Projects under the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA); Norra Kärr was not included. The Company plans to reapply in the next round of applications having continued to make significant progress since the last application was submitted in August 2024. In recent months, the Company's application for a new Exploitation Concession ('Bearbetningskoncession') 25-year mining lease has been out for consultation with County Administrative Boards ('CAB') and municipalities. The Company understands that CAB opinions have been received by the Mining Inspectorate ('Bergsstaten'). The Company will have an opportunity to respond to opinions and comments. Bihor Sud Nickel-Cobalt Exploration Project Exploration activities at the Bihor Sud project have continued, supported by the hard work of the four new geologists who joined the team in January. Works have included underground mapping, diamond drilling, geophysics, core logging, and sampling. The Company's goal remains to define a large-scale, mineable mineral resource; in gallery G2, targeting promising Zinc-Lead-Copper-Silver mineralization. Results to date are encouraging and underscore the project's strong potential for a significant polymetallic discovery. Financial Information The report for three months ending July 31, 2025, is expected to be published on or about September 19, 2025. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Leading Edge Materials Corp.

'Roadblock': Paramount Stock (NASDAQ:PARA) Surges as the Trump Settlement Sputters

As it turns out, entertainment giant Paramount (PARA) was actually fairly close to a deal with President Trump over the 60 Minutes lawsuit. But, when the deal was fairly close, a 'roadblock' emerged and put a halt to the whole matter, at least for now. Investors reacted with surprising strength, and perhaps even more surprising positivity. Paramount shares gained nearly 2.5% in the closing minutes of Friday's trading. Confident Investing Starts Here: The settlement had reached $35 million, reports noted, when Paramount suddenly found itself paralyzed by indecision. That delay caused Trump lawyers to pivot and pull back to their original demand, calling for a $50 million settlement. The biggest problem seems to be that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is also involved in this, and needs to sign off on the merger with Skydance as well. Reports suggested that Paramount brass believes that the FCC's sign-off on the deal needs to be contingent on settling the case, but by like token, the idea that requiring FCC approval as part of the settlement looks a lot like a bribe. Trump's legal team, reports note, has already been clear that the Trump suit and the FCC case are two separate matters. But with outside organizations looking to launch their own lawsuits should the settlement go through, looks may count for more here than anyone expected. South Park Losses Mount Meanwhile, as Paramount faces the prospect of losing South Park exclusivity, it quietly pulled another old episode from the field. The pull this time showed up in the Canadian and Australian markets, reports noted, and this time, featured Butters' Very Own Episode pulled from Paramount+. Why, however, is a bit of a mystery. Several South Park episodes are apparently a bit too spicy for streaming, in retrospect, with around a dozen classic episodes set to be pulled from the catalog and relegated to a 'ban list', reports noted. The reports got stranger as an Australian viewer noted that the Paramount+ listing had been pulled, but the episode could still be watched by watching through Paramount+ on Amazon (AMZN) Prime Video. Is Paramount Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on PARA stock based on two Buys, eight Holds and five Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 18.62% rally in its share price over the past year, the average PARA price target of $12.08 per share implies 2.23% downside risk.
