The service operates across Bolton, Caledon East and Mayfield West/Southfields. Riders can request trips through the Argo Transit app or by phone, travel point-to-point within and between the three service areas, and connect with GO Transit, Brampton Transit and York Region Transit. As previously announced, the agreement provides an aggregate fee to Argo of approximately $4.5 million over its initial 15-month term, excluding additional potential fare revenue retained by Argo.

Growing communities globally need more convenient access to transit, while governments are allocating significant infrastructure and operating funding to expand it. Argo’s patent-pending Smart Routing™ solution is designed to help municipalities and transit agencies turn that need and funding into operating transit infrastructure faster, while improving access and service efficiency.

• Access: Smart Routing™ extends the reach of existing transit networks by picking riders up near their door and connecting them into fixed-route transit for longer journeys. In Brampton, the service is PRESTO-integrated and connects riders into Brampton Transit and GO Transit.
• Economics: Smart Routing™ is designed to deliver broader, more convenient service efficiently as ridership scales. In Bradford West Gwillimbury, average daily ridership more than doubled while cost per ride declined by more than 50%.
• Deployment: Smart Routing™ lets municipalities deploy a complete transit network quickly through one integrated smart infrastructure platform spanning vehicles, charging, technology and operations. In Caledon, service launched approximately three months after contract signing.

“We built Smart Routing™ so public transit can meet people where they are, connect riders seamlessly across local and regional networks, and be deployed in weeks and not years,” said Praveen Arichandran, Co-founder and CEO of Argo. “Caledon went from agreement signing to a fully operating electric Smart Routing™ transit network across three communities in approximately three months. We believe this is an infrastructure model that can scale to growing communities around the world.”

In addition, the Companies entered into a non-binding letter of intent that contemplates potential additional investments by Gix, which could result in Gix acquiring a majority interest in Ottonomy

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gix Internet Ltd. (Nasdaq: GIXI; TASE: GIX) (“Gix” or the “Company”), a dual-listed technology company, today announced that it has signed a $500,000 investment in Ottonomy, Inc. (“Ottonomy”), a U.S.-based Physical AI robotics company developing L4 autonomous robotic systems, pursuant to a simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”).

The SAFE represents a further step in Gix’s strategy to build one intelligent management layer for robots, people, and autonomous systems. Gix’s wholly owned subsidiary, Deliverz.ai, provides the software intelligence and orchestration capabilities behind this layer, already commercially deployed in hospital logistics, while Ottonomy brings L4 autonomous navigation, purpose-built robotic platforms and experience operating autonomous systems across additional physical environments.

The SAFE represents an initial step for a contemplated broader strategic relationship between Gix and Ottonomy. On August 4, 2026, the companies entered into a non-binding letter of intent that contemplates potential additional investments by Gix, which could result in Gix first acquiring a strategic ownership interest in Ottonomy, with possible subsequent investments pursuant to which Gix could acquire a majority interest in Ottonomy. Except for the SAFE and any provisions expressly identified as binding, the contemplated subsequent transactions remain subject to due diligence, financing, the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, required approvals and customary closing conditions.

Ottonomy has developed the Ottobot family of autonomous delivery robots for indoor and outdoor operation and has announced deployments, pilots and commercial programs across hospital and healthcare environments in multiple markets, airports, industrial and remote-site environments, and last-mile delivery. Ottonomy is also engaged in pilots and commercial programs with multinational enterprises across pharmaceuticals, aerospace, energy, and other complex industrial environments.

Ottonomy serves leading healthcare systems and enterprises including Henry Ford Health, Wellstar Health System, Hancock Health (a Mayo Clinic Care Network hospital), Sodexo, Rome Fiumicino International Airport, top-tier space technology companies, and major U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers. Gix believes this breadth could help accelerate its strategy of extending one intelligent management layer for robots, people, and autonomous systems beyond its first proven healthcare applications.

Under the SAFE, Gix has made a $500,000 strategic investment in Ottonomy. The SAFE provides Gix with contractual rights to receive equity in Ottonomy upon certain future financing or other specified events. Upon the occurrence of certain qualifying financing events, the SAFE may convert into equity of Ottonomy in accordance with its terms. The SAFE investment is expected to close during the week of September 16, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

“We believe our investment in Ottonomy is a natural next step for Gix,” said Amir Nardimon, Chief Executive Officer of Gix. “Our strategy is to build one intelligent management layer for robots, people, and autonomous systems. Deliverz.ai has already demonstrated this approach commercially in healthcare, while Ottonomy brings L4 autonomous robotics, advanced navigation and experience operating across a much broader range of physical environments.

“From hospitals and pharmaceutical environments to industrial sites, airports and last-mile delivery, Ottonomy’s operational footprint is highly complementary to our strategy. This strategic investment allows us to deepen our relationship as we evaluate opportunities to work together and expand our capabilities beyond our first proven healthcare applications.”

“Gix’s vision of one intelligent management layer for robots, people, and autonomous systems is closely aligned with how we see the future of Physical AI,” said Ritukar Vijay, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ottonomy. “The next phase of autonomy will not be built around isolated robots performing isolated tasks. It will require autonomous systems, people and infrastructure to operate as part of a connected physical environment. We believe the combination of Gix and Deliverz.ai’s management-layer experience with Ottonomy’s L4 autonomy, contextual navigation and Physical AI robotics capabilities could create meaningful strategic opportunities and support the broader deployment of autonomous operations across healthcare, industrial and last-mile environments.”

Third well of MAX Power’s commercial validation drill program has been completed, featuring the highest Natural Hydrogen readings to date at Lawson while the depth extent of a major conduit for potential gas migration has yet to be determined.

With developments at Lawson 4 and MAX Power now stepping out 30 km to drill Lawson 5, the commercial validation program is scaling up and accelerating toward near-term comprehensive completions testing aimed at confirming the world’s first large-scale commercial discovery of a new primary energy source.

Video: The Time is Now
https://youtu.be/TKnEnBEQ0TM

REGINA, Saskatchewan, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FSE: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”), further to its September 8, 2026 news release, is pleased to provide the following exploration and operational update from its Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery in south-central Saskatchewan where the Company has delineated Canada’s first subsurface Natural Hydrogen system.

Highlights

• Highly prospective zone: A 20.5-meter interval with evidence of strong permeability and porosity was intersected between 2,290 meters and 2,310.5 meters (measured depth) in the basal Cambrian Sandstone unit, immediately above the Precambrian basement complex and a deep crustal fault (conduit) believed to be sub-vertical in orientation.
• Best readings to date: The above 20.5-m section was cored (96.6% recovery) and featured increasingly elevated Natural Hydrogen readings including the highest recorded to date at Lawson, based on drill rig gas detection equipment.
• Exotic terrane source rocks continue: The next 30.9 meters (2,310.5 m to 2,341.4 m) was also cored, for a total core interval of 51.4 meters (98% recovery), and included very elevated Natural Hydrogen readings and highly favorable mafic-ultramafic source rocks.
• Key structure: The dip, strike, and extent of the crustal fault (conduit) beginning at 2,310.5 meters remains unknown – upcoming core analysis will greatly assist in evaluating this important structure, while GLJ is also reviewing geophysical data.
• Valuable new data: The Company’s evolving geological model indicates that the relationship between the basal Cambrian Sandstone (lowermost Deadwood Formation) and the Precambrian basement complex may provide an important combination of gas migration pathways, reservoir development, structural trapping and seal integrity.
• Multiple zones: From the helium-dominant Interlake Formation (first cores recovered from the Interlake at Lawson between 2,001 meters and 2,031.6 meters, 97% recovery) to the Precambrian basement complex, Lawson 4 has returned multiple zones of interest for both Natural Hydrogen and Helium with the well completed to a total measured depth of 2,400 meters.

Mr. Steve Halabura, MAX Power Chief Geoscientist, commented: “Lawson 4 is a discovery within a discovery, and we eagerly anticipate perforations and comprehensive completions testing at this well and the others to determine potential commerciality of the Lawson Complex. As our understanding of this system accelerates, we are confidently stepping out 30 km to the ‘Salt Wall’ flanking the Prairie Evaporite where our robust geological model gives us plenty of encouragement.”

Lawson 5 Will Test Potential 30-Km Extension of Natural Hydrogen System

Drilling preparations for Lawson 5 are underway. This major step-out before the start of the completions program will test the potential up-dip extension of the Lawson Natural Hydrogen system all the way to the “Salt Wall”, an ideal trap and seal flanking the Prairie Evaporite approximately 30 km to the northeast.

Mr. Ran Narayanasamy, MAX Power CEO, added: “The potential scale of the Lawson Discovery continues to reinforce the geological power of Saskatchewan, the world’s leader in uranium and potash. We have hit on each of the first four wells at the Lawson Complex, all within about 2 km of each other, but this is just a fraction (0.001%) of the broader 1,224 sq. km Lawson permit area. The Lawson Project at 1,224 sq. km represents also just a fraction of the 475-km MAX Power dominated Genesis Trend. And Genesis is just one trend of several we have identified including Grasslands where the Bracken well, 325 km to the southwest, encountered multiple Natural Hydrogen and Helium zones and displays similar characteristics to the Lawson Discovery. This is MAX Power’s first mover advantage.”

Why This Matters to Investors

Lawson is progressing from geological discovery through reservoir evaluation and commercial validation. Earlier drilling established the presence of Natural Hydrogen across successive wells and began defining what MAX Power interprets to be a potentially interconnected subsurface system. Lawson 4 adds an important new dimension, including a major conduit that could be part of a network of deep crustal faults and associated splay faults extending across a broad area.

Geologically, the result is particularly compelling because a potentially prolific basal Cambrian Sandstone interval sits immediately above the Precambrian basement complex and the major deep crustal conduit encountered in Lawson 4. Together with prospective mafic-ultramafic basement rocks, intense fracturing, hydrothermal alteration, very elevated Natural Hydrogen readings and the broader trap-and-seal architecture, MAX Power is beginning to assemble an increasingly integrated model linking potential Natural Hydrogen generation, migration, accumulation and deliverability.

The next questions are increasingly commercial: Gas composition, sustained flow, reservoir connectivity, volume and ultimately economic deliverability. Comprehensive completions testing and independent evaluation will begin addressing those questions, while the next well represents the Company’s largest step-out yet at Lawson – approximately 30 km northeast toward the ‘Salt Wall’.

MAXX LEMI Update: Exploration Model to Commercial Platform

The success of MAX Power’s drilling program at Lawson is providing an important real-world demonstration of the exploration framework behind AI-driven MAXX LEMI (Large Earth Model Integration). By integrating proprietary drilling, core, seismic, geophysical and geological data with extensive legacy datasets, MAXX LEMI is being developed as an increasingly sophisticated exploration model and tool for identifying, ranking and advancing prospective Natural Hydrogen systems.

As the Company continues to expand its proprietary dataset through drilling at Lawson and across the Genesis Trend, management believes the potential value of MAXX LEMI could extend well beyond the Company’s own exploration portfolio. With Natural Hydrogen rapidly emerging as a new global energy frontier, MAX Power is evaluating pathways through which its exploration intelligence, methodology and technology could ultimately be deployed and monetized across the broader industry.

Potential commercialization pathways under consideration include technology licensing, subscription or platform-based access, technical and exploration services, strategic partnerships, and participation in third party discoveries through joint venture, carried interest or other value sharing structures. No specific commercialization model has yet been adopted, and the Company expects to provide further details as this strategy advances.

The opportunity is potentially twofold: MAX Power is working to define and commercialize Natural Hydrogen systems while simultaneously building the exploration intelligence designed to help find the next ones. As the Company’s proprietary dataset and exploration model continue to grow, MAXX LEMI has the potential to evolve into a scalable intelligence platform, extending the knowledge developed at Lawson across the Genesis Trend and, ultimately, to Natural Hydrogen exploration globally. This creates the potential for MAX Power to participate not only in the value of the systems it discovers, but in the broader industry’s search for the next generation of Natural Hydrogen systems.

All-stock sale gives Axe Compute equity stake in DataMEDS AI; aligns APU’s operating structure with its scaling GPU-as-a-Service business

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Axe Compute Inc. (NASDAQ: AGPU) (“Axe Compute” or the “Company”), a neocloud AI infrastructure platform, today announced the sale of its legacy artificial intelligence cancer diagnostics laboratory business Helomics Corporation (“Helomics”) to DataMEDS AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEDS) (“DataMEDS”), a Health IT company vertically integrating health data acquisition and transfer.

Under the agreement, Axe Compute sold its wholly-owned subsidiary Helomics in exchange for common shares and common share equivalents of DataMEDS. This agreement provides Axe Compute with potential future returns from DataMEDS common stock while completing its transition to a pure-play neocloud GPU-as-a-Service business. This transaction completes Axe Compute’s strategic transition to a pure-play neocloud GPU-as-a-Service company.

Helomics Corporation is a Pittsburgh-based functional precision medicine oncology platform that applies artificial intelligence to real-world tumor data to support drug discovery and cancer treatment decisions. It is the final operating business remaining from Axe Compute’s former identity as Predictive Oncology Inc., prior to its name change in December 2025.

“This transaction is the final chapter of Axe Compute’s transformation into a focused, pure-play neocloud GPU-as-a-Service company,” said Christopher Miglino, Chief Executive Officer of Axe Compute. “Just as important, we structured it so that our shareholders keep a stake in the future of AI Helomics. Rather than simply exiting the business, we are becoming an investor in DataMEDS – a company whose health-data and AI platform makes it exceptionally well positioned to scale what our team in Pittsburgh built – while we dedicate the entirety of our team, capital, and operations to meeting the accelerating demand for AI compute.”

“We are thrilled to have completed this strategic transaction that thrusts DataMEDS into the field of oncology, where we know there is a tremendous need to improve patient outcomes, using our data driven approach to healthcare,” said Gerald Commissiong, Interim Co-CEO of DataMEDS.

Further details regarding the transaction will be set forth in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Axe Compute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, available at www.sec.gov and at investors.axecompute.com.
