"Third quarter results highlight GoldSpot's accelerating revenue growth, driven by our team of over 70+ geoscience and data scientists through new and expanded client relationships while driving momentum through new SaaS tools and services," said Denis Laviolette, Executive Chairman and President of GoldSpot. "In August, we closed our acquisition of Ridgeline, increasing our field logistics capability and with it, our client service menu which will enable GoldSpot to capture more deferred revenue as well as offer a more compelling value proposition. The launch of GoldSpot's Multi-Parameter Airborne Survey System is the first of many breakthrough products through Ridgeline and our clients are already taking advantage."

"GoldSpot delivered another solid quarter, powered by our AI client-focused decision-products growing 29% compared with the same quarter last year," said Vincent Dubé-Bourgeois, CEO of GoldSpot Discoveries. "With a diversified portfolio of AI backed tools and services including our Smart Targeting program, our in-house software such as LithoLens and MinusOne, our Applied Geophysics division and more recently CEO.CA and Geotic, we are making the investments today to ensure we are well positioned for long-term growth."

"In Q3, we announced the acquisitions of CEO.CA and Geotic Inc., fulfilling our commitment to build recurring SaaS revenue and setting the stage for scaling future ARR," added Denis Laviolette. "These acquisitions, which closed in October, are pivotal for us as we develop new offerings for our global client base. While our investment portfolio faced short-term market headwinds, we are encouraged by our robust pipeline of incoming client flow and significant demand for our newly developed services. The Company is in a transitionary period as we move from non-recurring consultancy revenue to sustained recurring revenue from our acquisitions and in-house technology. Our core focus as a Company is to invest our human and financial capital into developing these assets into world-class offerings. GoldSpot is the undisputed leader in AI-centric mineral exploration with unparalleled market access and an industry-leading team that has uncovered some of the largest mineral discoveries in modern history. These results reinforce our confidence in the GoldSpot opportunity, our strategy, and the investments we're making in our clients and in our future."
