Pittsburgh, PA, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alpha Compute Corp. (Nasdaq: ALP) (“Alpha Compute” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated technology pioneer in AI Confidential Compute and GPU-as-a-service (GPUaaS), today announced Alpha Compute Corp. has executed definitive real estate and asset purchase agreements in Pennsylvania.
Strategic Resource Acquisition The transaction secures over 300 acres of surface, mineral and gas rights, encompassing both the Utica and Marcellus shale formations. Historical documentation from an assessment by Haliburton estimates an average of 10,000 barrels per acre of light Pennsylvania sweet crude oil across subsurface parcels. Alpha Compute is actively conducting updated geological assessments, modern appraisals, and confirmed site reviews to precisely map reserve potential. The acquisition includes over 75 existing oil and gas wells, complete well pump jack inventories, operational maintenance facilities, heavy equipment, and associated gathering infrastructure.
“Securing these land and energy rights in Pennsylvania provides a highly resilient foundation for our next-generation compute infrastructure,” said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of Alpha Compute Corp. “We are designing this facility with the local community at the forefront of our plans. By honoring local county ordinances, adhering strictly to Pennsylvania DEP regulations, and partnering with regional grid authorities, we are ensuring that our growth creates long-term value, environmental stewardship, and clean economic development for the state.”
Facility Design and Environmental Compliance
The planned data center will replicate the proven design, architectural framework, and community-first standards planned for Alpha Compute’s Northern Pennsylvania site. Development will comply fully with:
- Local county ordinances and land-use regulations
- Regional GRID policies and interconnection standards
- Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regulations, including applicable operator registration and bonding requirements
“Our strategy in Pennsylvania combines local energy resources with strict environmental compliance and active community participation, providing a sustainable model for technological growth. Given the USD $5.5 million acquisition price, we anticipate a substantial revaluation of the assets. Furthermore, the existing oil and gas operations are generating revenue and operational profit, with preliminary evaluations indicating that an estimated 4% of the surface oil has been extracted to date. Consequently, the site remains both profitable and financially self-sustaining,” stated Enzo Villani, Executive Chairman and President of Alpha Compute Corp.
Community Partnership and Economic Impact Alpha Compute plans to form binding covenants with local and county governments to guarantee long-term alignment with municipal development goals. The project will serve as a major regional economic engine:
- Job Creation: Projected creation of skilled permanent and construction positions;
- Infrastructure Investment: Modernization of site utilities and sustainable integration with local energy grid capacity;
- Environmental Stewardship: Post-closing environmental compliance, plugging assurances, and responsible well management under DEP oversight.

SILVER SPRINGS, Nev., Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) and Comstock Metals LLC (“Comstock Metals”), a leader in the responsible, zero-landfill recycling of end-of-life solar panels with North America’s first certified operations, announced that the Company’s Solar Panel Recycling Production system is now operating continuously at its Silver Springs, Nevada facility.
“Following dedicated work preparation with our production supervisors and operating staff across the four shift teams, we have now successfully graduated to continuous operations,” stated Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, President of Comstock Metals. “We are grateful for the dedicated efforts and support of our entire team, our strategic suppliers, contractors, regulators and the broader Silver Springs community for making this first-of-a-kind operation possible.”
By establishing this continuous processing model in Silver Springs, Comstock Metals solidifies its market-leading position at the forefront of responsible, zero-landfill recycling of end-of-life solar panels. The facility’s transition to continuous production ensures an efficient, high-volume, zero-landfill solution that eliminates disposal-related environmental liabilities for our utility-scale solar customers and provides them with certified, audit-ready chain-of-custody documentation validating that their end-of-life regulatory obligations have been fully discharged. The Company will now ramp up its production platform to meet increasingly higher customer volume demands.
The plant addresses a challenge the industry is only beginning to confront. As the installed base of solar panels approach the end of their operating lives, the volume of end-of-life panels requiring responsible processing is projected to grow sharply, far outpacing the industry’s current capacity.
With Silver Springs operating continuously and additional storage capacity in place at its Hanford, CA and Cambridge, OH facilities, Comstock believes it is one of the few, if not the only, true domestic recyclers positioned to absorb the anticipated flow of end-of-life panels at the volumes utility-scale generators will require, without compromising the zero-landfill and chain-of-custody standards that customers depend on.
“The successful transition to continuous processing represents the most meaningful operational milestone to date for our expanding recycling platform,” stated Corrado De Gasperis, CEO of Comstock Inc. “We have methodically developed, deployed, tested and are now continuously operating. We believe the technical implementation hurdles and uncertainties related to the first-time scaled deployment of our proprietary Solar Panel Recycling Production system have now been overcome. With demonstrable continuous production, our focus now turns to volume ramp.”
About Comstock Metals
Comstock Metals is a national leader in the environmentally responsible, zero-landfill recycling of end-of-life solar panels and related energy infrastructure. Comstock Metals’ internally developed recycling technologies and continuous innovation produce recovered materials that strengthen domestic supply chains for advanced technologies while helping customers eliminate the economic, environmental, and reputational liabilities associated with end-of-life panel management.

Beam to commence manufacturing of a U.S. Department of War Conditionally Approved Drone System in the U.S. post-acquisition and market drone solutions across its global footprint
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beam Global (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for energy storage and security, electrification of mobility, and smart city infrastructure, announces it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with a vertically integrated European drone technology company that currently develops, manufactures, and sells drones and a suite of proprietary drone-related, AI-enhanced software products. Beam Global intends to acquire the company and, if the acquisition is completed, to manufacture drones in its existing factories in the U.S. and Europe and to sell those drones and software services to its existing and new customers across its global footprint. The agreement, once finalized, is expected to evolve Beam Global into a vertically integrated drone and AI-enhanced drone software company while significantly advancing the Company’s diversified technology platform and expanding its footprint in defense, infrastructure and other key industries. The proposed acquisition remains subject to due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, and other customary closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be completed on the contemplated terms or at all.
Beam Global’s management believes that the intended acquisition is a highly advantageous evolution of its current business because:
- The target company is already producing and selling drones and software internationally to Fortune Global 500 and other significant companies.
- The target company has a drone product which has received Conditional Approval from the U.S. Department of War. The Conditional Approval remains effective subject to compliance with the target company’s U.S. onshoring plan and updated government vetting of the product. Beam Global intends to manufacture the product in the U.S. following the completion of the acquisition, thus complying with the onshoring requirement.
- The target company has a drone product that has been exempted by the FCC from its Covered List as a result of the Conditional Approval and, as a result, the drones can be sold in the U.S.
- Beam Global’s customers include the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Department of War, the U.S. Navy, the British Ministry of Defence, and conglomerates and corporate entities in oil and gas, maritime, agriculture, mining, and many other industries which are, the company believes, ideal candidates for the technology it intends to acquire through this transaction.
- On June 6, 2025, President Trump signed the “Unleashing American Drone Dominance” executive order, which directs federal agencies to prioritize the integration of U.S.-manufactured unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) over foreign-manufactured UAS and directs the Department of War to prioritize procurement of Section 848-compliant drones made by U.S. companies.
- Beam Global’s current factories and existing skilled team will be able to manufacture the drones following the closing of the acquisition without significant capital investment.
- Beam Global already manufactures batteries for drones, robots, submersibles and other similar devices. Management believes that this battery expertise will create a differentiator and that it may become the only vertically integrated drone manufacturer in the U.S. that also produces its own batteries.
- Beam Global’s patented BeamFlight™ product enables remote recharging of drones without the requirement for grid infrastructure or traditional generators. The Company believes that this capability will further enhance its competitive advantage in both military and commercial drone applications.
- Beam Global’s current engineering team in the U.S. and Europe is well positioned to enhance the Drone Company’s engineering team and vice versa.
This agreement marks a key expansion of Beam Global’s product line, bringing the Company’s established technology into the drone industry and further advancing its diversified technology platform.
“This planned acquisition will be, in my view, one of the most significant strategic advances in our company’s history and it is central to the strategy that Beam Global has been pursuing for some time. We have created a technology platform with global manufacturing and engineering capabilities focused on energy, mobility and intelligence and our experience with drones has been growing apace. All we have lacked is a proven drone platform and we now intend to change that,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “I believe that we are ideally positioned to become a leader in the drone industry because of our depth of experience in developing and manufacturing complex, patented technology solutions for mobility, energy and smart cities infrastructure. Drones represent a natural extension of our expertise, and our existing customer base includes military, government and commercial customers that we believe will be potential customers for the acquired drone technology. By bringing this technology to the U.S. and manufacturing it here while integrating it with our advanced proprietary energy, mobility and infrastructure technology, we envision an opportunity to build a differentiated platform for a rapidly developing market. For a decade, Beam has made the batteries that power other people’s drones; we will continue to do that but, in the future, we intend to lead with our own airframe and an incredibly robust software platform designed for the harshest conceivable environments. The drone technology we intend to acquire has already proved itself in such environments.”
The target company’s products are, management believes, well positioned for U.S. government and other regulated markets once domestic manufacturing is established and applicable regulatory and procurement requirements are satisfied. Beam has manufactured battery systems for unmanned aerial, ground, and marine platforms for ten years, and the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and the Pentagon are customers of Beam. Beam expects that manufacturing the drones in its U.S. facilities, which are already equipped with capabilities and infrastructure to assemble the products, will support the target company’s U.S. onshoring plan and potential U.S. market opportunities, subject to applicable regulatory and procurement requirements. Following the acquisition, Beam will pursue the provision of drone technology to its current clients while continuing to support its current drone customers.
The global drone market has an estimated value of USD 96.4 billion in 2026, up nearly 15% from 2025, and is projected to more than double by 2033, according to a Grand View Research report. North America controls roughly 40% of the global drone market, and Europe accounts for nearly 27% of the global market. The Drone market has been one of the fastest-growing markets globally due to an increase in defense, public safety, industrial inspection and delivery applications.

New Artificial Intelligence Takes Flight
on Dassault Aviation’s Rafale
(Saint-Cloud, France, September 22, 2026) – Dassault Aviation has flight-tested two new sovereign AI algorithms on the Rafale fighter jet. The first was developed by the company’s engineers, while the second was developed in collaboration with Thales/cortAIx.
The development of these new functions is part of a broader initiative to integrate controlled and supervised AI into the cockpit, serving the human crew. They have reached a level of maturity that makes them eligible for future Rafale upgrades.
The in-flight testing of these functions once again demonstrates Dassault Aviation’s expertise in integrating AI into combat systems. This capability requires mastering several key challenges specific to military aviation: ensuring the availability and quality of operational data (real or simulated), leveraging and synergizing domain expertise, and optimizing resource efficiency on an embedded platform subject to stringent constraints.
These challenges are at the heart of Dassault Aviation’s experience as an industrial architect and integrator of complex systems for decades.
