"With commodity prices remaining near record highs, we believe the long-term opportunity across the resource sector is as strong as we've seen in a generation," said Denis Laviolette, Executive Chairman and CEO of EarthLabs. "While parts of the junior mining market slowed in early 2026, EarthLabs kept building. We expanded our media reach, grew key subsidiary divisions, and continued to strengthen our position across mining media, data, and investments. Advertising revenue climbed 67% year-over-year, demonstrating the resilience and value of our platform even in a softer financing environment. We remain highly convicted in both our investment portfolio and the broader commodity cycle, and believe EarthLabs is exceptionally positioned as capital and investor attention continue to return to hard assets."
