VVT Medical, a developer of minimally invasive treatments for venous insufficiency, announced that it has received conditional approval from the TSXv to list its common shares.

The Kfar Saba, Israel–based company has already secured $6.5 million in funding toward its listing and seeks to reach at least $8 million in total financing. DXI Capital Corp. has agreed to acquire all outstanding shares and has acquired a holding company that will then acquire VVT Medical to facilitate its listing in Toronto.

“This approval represents a significant milestone for VVT Medical as we accelerate our global growth strategy and drive increased value for our shareholders,” VVT Medical CEO Erez Tetro said in a news release.

“Securing a listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange will enhance our access to capital markets, empowering us to further innovate and expand our portfolio of patient-focused solutions addressing venous insufficiency — a $60 billion market currently underserved, with only about 2% of patients receiving effective treatments.”

The FDA in 2023 cleared VVT Medical’s ScleroSafe platform, which delivers endovenous chemical ablation to treat superficial varicose veins. The patented coaxial, double-lumen catheter is designed for treating small peripheral veins, providing what the company describes as an efficient, non-thermal, non-tumescent treatment. VVT Medical’s portfolio also includes V-Block, which adds a permanent biomedical implant to the ScleroSafe technology and is meant to treat larger central veins.

“Combining FDA approval with strong endorsement from leading medical societies, such as the American Venous Forum (AVF), for the use of existing reimbursement codes significantly bolsters our U.S. expansion strategy,” Tetro said. “As the sole standalone company in the U.S. market with FDA approval for our novel non-thermal treatment, we are uniquely positioned.”

Romanian copper mining project shortlisted by EU for fast tracking faces environmental issues

The copper and gold mining project developed by the Canadian mining company Euro Sun Mining in the Rovina area in Hunedoara County, just shortlisted by the European Commission under the Critical Raw Material Act (CRMA), lost its environmental permit last year, and Hungary’s consent is needed for getting a new one, according to Profit.ro.

The permitting process for the shortlisted extraction projects will not exceed 27 months under CRMA – but this will pose challenges in the case of the Rovina project.

The project envisages the deforestation of 200 hectares and will spread over 698.33 hectares, impacting the surface and deep waters, leading to a possible significant effect on the environment of another state, according to the environmental NGO Declic, which challenged in court the permit.

The EC adopted on March 25 a list of 47 Strategic Projects under the Critical Raw Material Act (CRMA), among which three projects are to be developed in Romania by Euro Sun Mining (Canada), Salrom (Romania, state-owned), and Verde Magnesium (backed by US private equity investor Amerocap), to boost domestic strategic raw material capacities.

The Rovina project, developed by the local company Samax Romania, controlled by Euro Sun Mining, a company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, had obtained environmental approval in 2022, but the administrative act was challenged in court by the Declic, an NGO with environmental protection activities. Last spring, the Cluj Court of Appeal decided definitively to cancel the environmental permit.

The Rovina project covers an area of ​​approximately 27.7 square kilometers and comprises three different deposits, Rovina, Colnic, and Cireșata, which would be exploited in several phases over a period of roughly 17 years. 

The final feasibility study projects an average gold equivalent production of 146,000 ounces (4.5 tonnes)/year over the first ten years, consisting of 106,000 ounces (3.3 tonnes) of gold and 19 million pounds (9,000 tonnes) of copper per year, at an average total cost of USD 790 per gold equivalent ounce.

Investments, blind trusts, TFSAs: what do they mean for this election?

Let’s talk about money. Like it has in many past elections, money and the economy have become a focal point. And party leaders are facing scrutiny when it comes to their own portfolios business dealings past or present. 

Many readers have asked CBC for more clarity on the different financial terms leaders have argued over — from investments, to assets, tax cuts, tax havens and blind trusts.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney has gotten a lot of questions about his assets and investments. Think stocks, mutual funds, real estate and businesses, basically whatever he either owns or has put money into with the intention of making more money.

Ahead of calling the election, Carney announced he had placed all of his assets other than cash and real estate into a blind trust.

Carney has also faced questions about reports that two investment funds he co-chaired while at Brookfield Asset Management were registered in Bermuda, a tax haven that benefits investors by avoiding some Canadian taxes, according to information obtained by Radio-Canada.

  • What issue matters the most to you this federal election, and why? Share your personal stories with us at ask@cbc.ca.

Investments, assets, blind trusts, tax-free savings accounts and potential conflicts of interest are weaving themselves into this campaign in sometimes confusing ways. So let’s break it down.

Investment and assets

Conservatives, including the party’s leader Pierre Poilievre and ethics critic Michael Barrett have criticized Carney’s role in those Brookfield investment funds and called on him to publicly disclose all of his holdings before they were put into the blind trust.

Under the current government ethics rules meant to guard against conflicts of interest, Carney had 60 days to disclose his assets to the ethics commissioner upon being sworn in and another 60 days before that information goes public.

Poilievre said both these issues are proof Carney wants “Canadians to blindly trust him” and that he was “dodging the same high taxes Liberals make Canadians pay.”

So what about Poilievre? The Conservative leader said Thursday he recently “brought [his] investments home after Trump began threatening the country,” and that he now only invests in Canadian stocks and companies. 

Poilievre has publicly disclosed his holdings before and after that move. Before, they were spread across the U.S., Europe and Asia and also included bitcoin. Now, they’re focused around an index fund whose top asset happens to be Carney’s old employer, Brookfield. 

The fund that oversees these Canadian investments, Vanguard FTSE Canada Index ETF, is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. But it is managed by Vanguard Group, an asset-management company based in the U.S.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney faced more questions about his time at Brookfield Asset Management, overseeing two green investment funds registered in the offshore tax haven of Bermuda. Carney’s political opponents are using the issue to paint him as an out-of-touch friend of billionaires.

TFSAs

The nature of that ETF may seem a small detail, but it could present a quagmire next to Poilievre’s recent policy proposal to raise the amount Canadians can contribute to tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) — with a caveat that the cash must be invested in Canadian companies. 

First, let’s look at what TFSAs are. A TFSA is an investment account managed through a brokerage, bank or financial advisor that is not taxed, even when withdrawn. There’s a limit to how much Canadians can contribute each year, which is set by the government.

The Stephen Harper government introduced TFSAs in 2009, eventually raising the annual contribution limit to $10,000. But the Justin Trudeau government brought it down to $5,000, then tied it to inflation. The contribution limit for this year is $7,000.

The money invested in a TFSA can grow tax-free, and can be invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Unlike a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) account, you don’t owe the government anything when you withdraw the money.

It’s currently unclear how Poilievre’s proposed top-up will work. If elected, a Conservative government would have to define which companies the user invests their money into as Canadian, given how many hold assets abroad.

Blind trusts and conflicts of interest

Let’s dive back into blind trusts, and how they’re supposed to shield elected officials from conflicts of interest.

Carney has a 60-day window to disclose his finances to the ethics commissioner. That clock started ticking once he was sworn in as prime minister on March 14.

Within 120 days of taking office, a cabinet minister or parliamentary secretary has to divest controlled assets by selling them or putting them into a blind trust. At that time, their financial assets become publicly viewable.

According to the Conflict of Interest Act, the official must appoint a trustee to look after their blind trust. That person must be approved by the ethics commissioner.

That trustee cannot be a friend, family member or business partner, for example. They take full control of those assets and can provide general income reports for tax reasons, but not updates on specific investments.

Poilievre doesn’t have to put his assets in a blind trust because he is not a member of cabinet.

Political rivals — and CBC readers — have questioned whether Carney could be in a position to make decisions that would benefit his holdings, even if they’re in a blind trust.

According to Brookfield’s latest financial filings, the Liberal leader held stock options worth $6.8 million at the end of December. Stock options allow the holder to buy and sell shares in a company at an agreed-upon price.

Ian Stedman, a lawyer and associate professor who specializes in government ethics at York University’s School of Public Policy and Administration, says a blind trust isn’t “a perfect conflict of interest avoider” but it’s one of the best tools available. 

Carney has said he’s also set up “screens,” which include disclosing potential conflicts of interest to an administrator and agreeing to abstain from any discussions, decisions, debate or votes on the subject.

The Liberal leader has defended his time in private and central banking, saying it has made him an astute negotiator and policy planner. 

Promising results at Caledonia’s Bilboes project

Sikhulekelani Moyo, [email protected]

CALEDONIA Mining Corporation Plc, which owns Gwanda-based Blanket Mine, has said the feasibility study for its Bilboes gold mining project, 75km North of Bulawayo, continues to show positive fundamentals, which may benefit the group.
Blanket Mine is already one of Zimbabwe’s biggest gold producers, having produced 76 656 ounces last year.

In 2023, Blanket Mine managed 75 416 ounces. Caledonia’s long-term vision is to become a multi-asset gold producer in Zimbabwe.

In an update statement, Caledonia said it was making good progress on the feasibility study with the support of DRA Projects and other technical consultants.

While the feasibility study was initially targeted for completion in the first quarter of 2025, Caledonia has extended the timeline to explore fully the several material optimisation opportunities.

It said the opportunities have the potential to enhance project economics and reduce upfront capital requirements.
The company said the feasibility study supersedes the Preliminary Economic Assessment released on June 3, 2024, which outlined attractive project economics and a mine plan capable of tripling Caledonia’s gold production and positioning the company as an intermediate gold producer.

“Encouragingly, ongoing work continues to confirm the project’s attractive fundamentals. Against the backdrop of a strong gold price, Bilboes remains both compelling and financeable,” said the company.

“Key areas of optimisation currently under review include engaging with the authorities to explore the potential sale of concentrate, which could significantly reduce upfront capital expenditures by deferring the capital expenditure on a BIOX processing circuit, at least in the first few years of production, and evaluating the potential relocation of the Tailings Storage Facility to a more efficient site, including on Caledonia’s Motapa property adjacent to Bilboes, where the topography could lead to lower initial construction costs,” it said.

Caledonia also said it was incorporating near-term opportunities at Motapa into the Bilboes feasibility study, following strong exploration results in 2024 and the additional exploration and development work planned at Motapa this year.

The giant gold producer also said the exploration at Motapa had been particularly promising, indicating the presence of new mineralised zones within a few hundred metres of the proposed Bilboes processing plant.

“Demonstrating significant resource additions at Motapa has the potential to materially improve the long-term economics of a combined Bilboes-Motapa project,” the Toronto Stock Exchange and Victoria Falls Stock Exchange group said.
Caledonia continues to assess near-term revenue opportunities across its portfolio.

In particular, high-grade mineralisation recently identified at the Blanket Mine could make a meaningful contribution to initial capital requirements for Bilboes through further flexibility around funding.

“The board remains fully committed to maximising shareholder value: this means ensuring that Bilboes is optimised both technically and financially, while continuing discussions with funding partners and relevant authorities in Zimbabwe.

“The optimisation work is advancing well, and the company will provide a further update on the expected timing of the feasibility study in due course,” the company said.

Caledonia chief executive officer Mr Mark Learmonth said Bilboes could be transformative for Caledonia, pointing out the group was working to make sure the requisite funding is secured.

“We are encouraged by the results to date and are taking a disciplined approach to optimisation — both to enhance returns and to ensure we can fund the project in the most efficient way possible,” he said.

“With strong exploration results at Motapa, promising developments at Blanket and supportive market conditions, we remain confident in Bilboes’ ability to significantly reshape Caledonia’s growth profile.”

In January 2023, Caledonia acquired Bilboes Gold Limited for US$53,2 million, as part of its strategy to become a multi-asset gold producer in Zimbabwe, with the goal of producing more than 250 000 ounces of gold annually.

8 Steady & Under-The-Radar Stocks

Black and Gray Laptop Computer

Image Source: Pexels

We shine a spotlight on “boring” and under-the-radar stocks—companies that may not be flashy, but offer solid, dependable returns. These are businesses with repetitive revenues, sticky business models, and essential services that quietly power the economy. Let’s uncover how boring can be sexy when investing!

Why Boring Stocks Deserve Your Attention 

Boring doesn’t mean bad—it often means reliable, recession-resistant, and essential. These companies don’t rely on hype or rapid innovation but provide critical services we all depend on. From payroll systems to waste disposal, these businesses calm market chaos.

Automatic Data Processing (ADP): The Payroll Powerhouse

  • Bull Case: Offers essential payroll and HR solutions, generating recurring revenue. A trusted name with strong client retention and a near-perfect dividend triangle.
  • Bear Case: Vulnerable during economic downturns as layoffs reduce payroll volume; competition from nimble tech-driven firms.

Thomson Reuters (TRI.TO) (TRI): Quiet Legal Giant

  • Bull Case: Provides critical legal, tax, and corporate research tools. Clients are highly dependent, making it a sticky and cash-flow-stable business.
  • Bear Case: Multi-year contracts didn’t scale well with inflation; growth is modest and vulnerable to disruptive AI-driven solutions.

TMX Group (X.TO): The Stealthy Stock Exchange

  • Bull Case: Runs the Toronto Stock Exchange and sells high-margin data services. Strong recurring revenue and high barrier to entry.
  • Bear Case: Faces competition from U.S. giants; risk of declining trading volumes; must invest heavily to remain competitive.

Fastenal (FAST): The Boutique of Bolts & Nuts

  • Bull Case: Embedded with industrial clients through on-site stores and vending machines. Steady, recurring sales in essential components.
  • Bear Case: Margin pressure from large clients; slower EPS growth despite rising revenues.

Waste Connections (WCN.TO) (WCN): Trash With Class

  • Bull Case: Essential waste and recycling services with long-term contracts and landfill scarcity. High recurring revenue and strong pricing power.
  • Bear Case: High valuation; growth depends on acquisitions; rising regulatory pressure to reduce waste.

McCormick (MKC): Spice King of the Grocery Aisle

  • Bull Case: Leader in spices and seasonings with strong R&D and marketing. Constant cash flow from repetitive consumer purchases.
  • Bear Case: Limited growth potential; margin pressure from large retailers; not an exciting sector.

Hydro One (H.TO): Ontario’s Reliable Utility

  • Bull Case: 99% regulated operations, strong relationship with the Ontario government, and predictable cash flows. Investing heavily in infrastructure.
  • Bear Case: Political uncertainty; economic reliance on Ontario; growing debt load to finance CapEx.

A.O. Smith (AOS): The Water Heater Winner

  • Bull Case: Dominates U.S. water heater market with expansion in China and India. Offers products essential to modern living.
  • Bear Case: Vulnerable to trade wars and tariffs; tight margins outside U.S.; tied to construction and economic cycles.

Can You Build a Portfolio with Only Boring Stocks?
While tempting, it’s not enough. Boring stocks are a solid foundation but must be complemented by growth, innovation, and diversified exposure. Not all boring companies are good investments—some struggle or stagnate despite having low volatility.

Newly Listed Gold Hart Copper Announces Launch Of Drilling

(MENAFN– Newsfile Corp)
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – March 27, 2025) – Gold Hart Copper Corp. (TSXV: HART) (formerly Vicunau Metals Corp.) (the ” Company “, ” Gold Hart “, or ” HART “) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at its Tolita gold-copper-silver porphyry target where the famous Maricunga Gold Belt meets the emerging Vicuña Copper Belt.

“We are thrilled to have launched drilling at this historically significant asset which we believe may be one of the only remaining fully preserved, potentially large scale gold-copper porphyry targets in the Vicuña district of Chile,” stated Isaac Maresky, Chairman and CEO of HART. “The Tolita property has waited nearly 30 years for this critical second phase of drilling since it was long-ago recognized by a top geologist as a unique target for its gold and copper near surface. Our team of geologists have been involved in some of the country’s largest gold and copper discoveries, and deserve a great deal of credit for recognizing Tolita in the early 1990s, maintaining the property, and obtaining all approvals to launch this drill campaign. With the application of modern science including geophysics, and the discovery of a large 2.5km2 high-chargeability anomaly, we believe the Gold Hart team is well equipped to properly target the potential of the property.”

The Tolita property is a historically significant gold-copper asset which was first recognized and staked in 1993 – by one of the pioneering geologists of the Maricunga-Vicuña district – for its uniquely high grades of gold and copper on surface. In 1996, a third party company optioned the property and drilled 3 short 200m RC holes, without any geophysics, and yet still hit gold and copper in all 3 holes, including long intercepts of gold and copper (150m and 164m, respectively) close to surface in 2 of the 3 holes. At the time, gold was approximately $300/oz and copper traded below $1.00/lb, and large scale sulphide / porphyry deposits with both gold and copper were often considered less favorable than smaller scale gold-only oxide deposits.

Tolita has had significant trenching (5,600m / 5.6km) with the highest grade trench returning grades up to 52g/t gold equivalent including 4% copper. Tolita has undergone helicopter mag surveys with 4 unique anomalies, but was only drilled to a depth of 200m with 3 short RC holes (out of a planned 8 hole campaign) due to negative gold market sentiment in 1997-1998. When Gold Hart acquired the property, a full geophysical survey was conducted by a recognized geophysics firm, and a large high-chargeability anomaly was discovered that is near surface and almost 2.5km2 in size and “interpreted as a copper-gold or gold-copper porphyry system that certainly warrants additional exploration and drilling”. Gold Hart Copper is fully funded for its planned drill campaign.

About Gold Hart Copper

Gold Hart Copper is one of the largest independent land owners surrounding major miners where the famous Maricunga Gold Belt meets the emerging Vicuña Copper Belt in Chile. HART is actively acquiring, exploring and developing its portfolio of gold, copper & silver properties adjacent to the largest gold and copper assets on the continent.

HART’s team of geologists were personally involved in pioneering exploration in the region, leading to some of its greatest gold, copper, and silver deposits, and include the country’s former National Geological Survey head. Specifically, senior Gold Hart geologists were personally involved in the Escondida copper discovery, now the largest copper mine in the world controlled by Rio Tinto and BHP, as well as Cerro Casale, the largest gold-copper discovery in Chile acquired by Barrick and Newmont (GoldCorp) with 59-million ounces of gold and 12.5-billion pounds of copper.

HART has rolled-up a portfolio of historically significant assets surrounding majors, in some cases personally staked by the very same geologists who made the adjacent mega-discoveries, since the early 1990s. Some of the Gold Hart properties have already undergone a first phase of RC drilling, with highly encouraging results of gold, copper, and silver. Gold Hart properties are controlled 100% and not subject to any royalties whatsoever.

HART believes it may be sitting on one of the only fully-preserved untested large-scale gold-copper-silver porphyry targets in the Vicuña District – an asset that was first recognized for its uniquely high grades of gold and copper on surface – and staked by one of the Maricunga-Vicuña district’s pioneering geologists in 1993.

Gold Hart Copper is fully funded for its planned drill campaign.

Forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions of management, in light of management’s experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, including, without limitation, assumptions about: the ability of exploration results, including drilling, to accurately predict mineralization; errors in geological modelling; insufficient data; equity and debt capital markets; future spot prices of copper and zinc; the timing and results of exploration and drilling programs; the accuracy of mineral resource estimates; production costs; political and regulatory stability; the receipt of governmental and third party approvals; licenses and permits being received on favourable terms; sustained labour stability; stability in financial and capital markets; availability of mining equipment and positive relations with local communities and groups. Forward-looking information involves risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information are set out in the Company’s listing application dated March 14, 2025, a copy of which is available on SEDAR+ ( ) under the Company’s issuer profile. Although the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward- looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law. Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
