AIAI Holdings’ Constellation Network Unveils Gate AI Security Gateway and Performance Benchmarks Ahead of June Launch

Technical report identifies Gate AI as one of the top performing AI security gateways across 16 public prompt injection evaluations, ranking first on half of the evaluated datasets.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / AIAI Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:AIAI) (“Ai2” or the “Company”), an AI-enabled diversified holding company utilizing Transformational AI to enhance portfolio performance, today announced that one of its portfolio companies, Constellation Network, its blockchain and data infrastructure company, will launch its AI security gateway product, Constellation Gate AI, in June 2026. Ahead of the launch, Constellation has published a technical report in which it concludes Gate AI is one of the top performing solutions on evaluated public benchmark datasets, ranking first on 8 benchmarks and placing in the top three on 4 more.

“Constellation’s infrastructure is built around trusted data, and Gate AI is a strong example of that capability in action,” said Todd Furniss, CEO and Co-founder of AIAI Holdings Corporation. “The benchmark results described in the technical report position Gate AI among the strongest performing. We believe this validates the strength of Constellation’s technology and provides AIAI with a differentiated blockchain security platform that can support the next generation of AI driven systems, while also creating opportunities to integrate trusted data validation capabilities across AIAI’s portfolio companies.”

“We are excited to launch Gate AI for several reasons. The performance results we’ve highlighted demonstrate the platform’s capabilities, and we believe that this starts a major trend of converging AI with blockchain technologies. We also see significant unmet demand across the market, from enterprises to smaller organizations, for solutions like this. With that in mind we built it to be something teams can deploy in minutes and rely on every day, while providing an accessible gateway that can support users at any scale.”

“Every team building with AI today is faster and more efficient than they were a year ago. However, developers are just one prompt injection away erasing their gains through a security incident.” said Ben Jorgensen, CEO of Constellation Network. “Gate AI plugs into any existing AI workflow without code changes, blocks those attacks before they reach the model, and produces a tamper-evident audit trail of every request and response. We built it to be something teams can set up in minutes and rely on every day.”

Constellation Gate AI is a security and audit gateway for AI applications. It plugs into any existing AI workflow without code changes and provides prompt-injection defense, a tamper-evident audit trail of every model call, and unified cost and usage visibility across major commercial model APIs and open-weight models.

Prompt injection is the class of attack in which malicious instructions hidden inside emails, documents, websites, or other content retrieved by an AI agent cause that agent to take actions its operator did not intend. As AI agents increasingly execute real work on behalf of users and organizations, the security layer for those agents has to sit in line with every model call.

Early access registration is open now at https://constellationgate.ai.

Benchmark Results

A technical report authored by Ryle Goehausen, Head of Protocol at Constellation Network, published alongside today’s announcement evaluates Gate AI’s prompt-injection detection cascade against 16 public benchmark datasets. The report describes the testing and evaluation methodology in full. Two design choices apply across every dataset: a single global operating point and no per-dataset threshold tuning.

Results Highlights:

  • F1 of 97.4% at a 1% false-positive rate gating constraint across the full 16-dataset corpus.
  • Ranked first on half of the 16 evaluated datasets, placing second on 3 and third on 1 when compared against published competitor scores.
  • Median end-to-end response time of 53 milliseconds, 95th-percentile 571 milliseconds, mean 104 milliseconds.

The cleanest head-to-head comparison with the largest commercial competitor sits on two stringent benchmarks of legitimate, non-attack user prompts, where the meaningful metric is how often a detector mistakenly blocks legitimate traffic. On the Wildguard-benign dataset, Gate AI’s false-positive rate was 1.03%, against the enterprise competitor’s published 17.4%. On Notinject, Gate AI’s rate was 2.06%, against the enterprise competitor’s published 12.4%.

The full report, including dataset descriptions, per-dataset confidence intervals, and the complete competitor scoreboard with citations, is available on the Constellation Network blog: https://constellationnetwork.io/blog/gate-ai-prompt-injection-benchmark/

Constellation Gate AI will be available in two configurations at launch:

  1. Bring Your Own Keys. Customers connect their existing model provider accounts and route traffic through Gate AI for audit and cost visibility. A free tier is planned, with a paid tier that adds prompt-injection defense and audit anchoring.
  2. Pay As You Go. Customers prepay a balance and consume major commercial and open-weight models through Gate AI without managing upstream provider relationships directly. Security and audit features are included.

Early access registration is intended to provide qualified developers and teams with access to the gateway ahead of general availability, along with documentation, integration guides for popular AI development tools, and onboarding for the planned audit-anchoring feature, which is designed to write tamper-evident receipts of model interactions to the Constellation Network protocol.

Elemental Royalty Executes Agreement with KGHM Subsidiary to Option and Explore Four Porphyry Copper Projects in Nevada

Denver, Colorado–(Newsfile Corp. – May 27, 2026) – Elemental Royalty Corporation (TSX: ELE) (NASDAQ: ELE) (“Elemental” or “the Company“) is pleased to announce its wholly owned subsidiary Bronco Creek Exploration Inc. (“BCE“) has entered into an Exploration and Option agreement (the “Agreement“) with Robinson Holdings (USA) Ltd. (“RHUSA“), a subsidiary of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. (“KGHM“) on four of its porphyry copper projects-Royston, Big E, Tango, and Whiskey-in Mineral and Nye Counties, Nevada. KGHM is a major copper and silver producer with operating mines in Europe and the Americas. The Agreement provides Elemental with execution payments, option payments, and work commitments on the Projects during the six-year earn-in period and grants RHUSA the opportunity to earn 100% interest in the Projects. For any Project in which RHUSA elects to earn-in, Elemental retains a 2% Net Smelter Return (“NSR“) royalty interest as well as Annual Advance Royalty (“AAR“) and certain milestone payments.

Highlights

  • Exploration and Option agreement executed with RHUSA on four Projects to explore for copper porphyries in west-central Nevada
  • The Agreement includes execution payments totalling US$315,000 and option payments up to US$600,000 per Project to Elemental over a six-year earn-in period
  • During the earn-in period, RHUSA will fund up to US$5,000,000 in exploration expenditures per Project
  • Upon exercise of a Project’s option, Elemental will be granted a 2% NSR royalty, as well as escalating AAR payments, starting at US$50,000 and other milestone payments as the Project advances

The four Projects were generated by BCE as part of its ongoing Western U.S. generative efforts focused on porphyry copper and related systems. Projects are situated within a mining-friendly region which boasts excellent infrastructure and access, and each project presents a unique opportunity to advance an underexplored porphyry copper-(gold-molybdenum) system in Nevada.

David M. Cole, Chief Executive Officer of Elemental, commented: “We are excited to collaborate with KGHM to advance each of these prospective properties in Nevada. The Elemental team continues to identify and generate exploration opportunities at low-cost, and a porphyry discovery on any one of these projects would represent significant value to all parties. This transaction reflects our ability to attract high-calibre partners and operators in Tier 1 jurisdictions, and it continues to build momentum in our growth trajectory.”

Commercial Terms Overview
Under the terms of the Agreement, RHUSA will acquire a 100% interest in each of the Royston, Big E, Tango, and Whiskey Projects by satisfying the following terms on a per-Project basis over a six-year option period. Upon execution, RHUSA will pay US$50,000 in cash, make a payment equal to the previous year’s holding costs, and will make option payments totalling up to US$600,000 during the six-year term of the option agreement. To exercise the option on a Project, RHUSA must spend US$5,000,000 in exploration expenditures on that individual property.

Upon option exercise by RHUSA, Elemental will retain a 2% NSR royalty on each Project. RHUSA will also make AAR payments of US$50,000 per Project, which will increase by US$10,000 per year, until a total of US$1,750,000 has been paid or Commercial Production commences. In addition, RHUSA will make Project milestone payments consisting of: US$500,000 upon declaration of a resource, US$750,000 upon completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment and US$1,000,000 upon completion of a Feasibility Study.

Overview of the Projects
Royston: Located 30 km northwest of Tonopah, Nevada, the Royston Project hosts a copper-(gold-molybdenum) porphyry system. The upper levels of the porphyry system are partially exposed, however, extensional faulting accompanied by significant westward tilting and the eruption of post-mineral volcanics have buried more prospective portions of the system to the east. A five-hole reconnaissance reverse-circulation (RC) drill program, completed by a previous partner, confirmed the presence of strongly altered quartz-sericite-pyrite zones with anomalous base and precious metals under thin post-mineral volcanic cover. Geophysical surveys have defined robust chargeability anomalies that correlate with abundant sulfide mineralization in concealed host rocks. Two of the RC drillholes encountered strong alteration and increasing mineralization and were cased for re-entry on a follow-up drill program utilizing core tails.

Big E: Adjacent to Royston, the Big E Project comprises a similarly tilted and dismembered porphyry copper-(gold-molybdenum) target. Outcropping porphyry dikes with strong sericite-pyrite alteration at surface project under post-mineral volcanic and alluvial cover to the east. A previous partner completed a widely spaced three-hole reconnaissance RC program, which intersected similar porphyry dikes and associated quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration interpreted to represent the edge of the porphyry copper system. The paleo-down dip projection of the altered porphyry dikes remains untested, and the next stage of exploration will test these structural blocks that may represent the better mineralized core of the system.

Tango: The Tango Project represents a pooled land package between BCE’s claims and Great Western Mining Corporation PLC (AIM: GWMO) claims and targets a porphyry copper-molybdenum system located 100 kilometers west of Tonopah, Nevada (see Great Western news release dated August 12, 2024). Financial benefits from the Agreement that pertain to the Tango Project will be split 70% / 30% between BCE and Great Western respectively. Locally abundant quartz-copper oxide veining and associated widespread sericite pyrite alteration outcrops over an approximate 2-by-2-kilometer area. The outcropping system footprint is bounded by post-mineral volcanic and alluvial cover to north and east. Historical drilling by Conoco and Humble Oil in the 1960’s and 70’s failed to sufficiently test the system, largely due to shallow hole depths and a poor understanding of the alteration vectors. An IP survey completed by GWM in 2021 detected chargeability anomalies which highlight high priority targets within untested zones of the system. The host rock stratigraphy includes Ordovician carbonate units representing additional potential for skarn/replacement mineralization as well as the primary porphyry copper target.

Whiskey: Situated approximately 5km southwest of Tango, Whiskey is a porphyry copper-molybdenum target interpreted as a possible shallower-level analogue to Tango. The Whiskey Project exhibits ASTER anomalies, correlative with silicification and clay-sericite-pyrite alteration observed at surface, which are bounded by post-mineral volcanic cover. Dikes are present at surface and are reported in historical drill logs. In 1980, a historical drill program exploring for gold reported an intercept of 2 volume percent chalcopyrite from 88.4-97.5 m depth, but copper was not assayed in the drillhole. Similarly, historical surface sampling also did not assay for Cu, but results include anomalous Mo, Ag, As, and Hg values. The historical results suggest that modern systematic exploration will reveal additional upside at the Project, particularly since surface mineralization is interpreted to project beneath the post-mineral volcanic cover.

Elemental is looking forward to partner with KGHM and will provide technical and operational support during the option period.

Goldman maintains bullish gold outlook as central bank buying forecasts rise

Goldman Sachs has reaffirmed its positive stance on gold, keeping its year-end forecast of $5,400 per troy ounce after increasing its estimates for central bank demand and predicting that official-sector purchases will continue accelerating throughout the remainder of 2026.

The investment bank revised its internal tracking model for central bank gold demand after concluding that it had consistently understated buying activity since August 2025. Under the updated methodology, the 12-month moving average estimate rose to 50 tonnes per month as of March, compared with 29 tonnes under the earlier calculation.

According to the revised model, central banks are estimated to have purchased 66 tonnes of gold in January, a sharp increase from the previous estimate of 12 tonnes.

Goldman said the adjustment follows a widening discrepancy between declining gold inventories in London vaults and official U.K. trade figures. While bullion outflows from London storage facilities had continued to climb, British export data appeared to capture only part of those movements, indicating that some sovereign gold transactions were no longer being reflected in official statistics.

“We therefore adjust our nowcast by adding the discrepancy between London vault outflows and UK net exports as unrecorded sovereign gold flows,” Goldman strategists Lina Thomas and Daan Struyven said in a note.

Looking further ahead, Goldman expects central bank buying to average around 60 tonnes per month through 2026. The bank pointed to findings from its own central bank survey that showed “strong underlying interest in gold,” adding that recent geopolitical tensions “are likely to reinforce diversification over time — both for central banks and private investors.”

However, the strategists warned that near-term volatility remains possible. “Gold’s high liquidity makes it a natural source of cash if private investors face liquidity needs,” they wrote, noting the risk of a broader selloff if equity markets weaken due to higher interest rates or softer economic growth linked to geopolitical uncertainty.

Goldman’s demand-tracking model is based largely on U.K. customs and trade data because London’s over-the-counter bullion market handles the majority of sovereign gold transactions globally. Since the U.K. has very limited domestic gold production, bullion traded in the country must be imported before either being stored in London vaults or re-exported, making trade flows a useful indicator of where gold holdings are ultimately moving.

Grizzly Provides Geophysical Program Updates to Define Precious and Critical Minerals Targets at Its Greenwood Projects, BC Canada

Edmonton, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – May 25, 2026) – Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: GZD) (FSE: G6H) (OTCQB: GZDIF) (“Grizzly” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has recently received results from the Phase 2 Induced Polarization (IP) Survey at the Sappho Target area by Peter Walcott & Associates and the Company has commenced a Phase 1 IP survey at the Greyhound – Motherlode area near the town of Greenwood. In addition, the Company has received the results of early 2026 sampling at the Greenwood, BC Precious and Critical Minerals Project from APEX Geoscience Ltd. (APEX). The collection of a total of 63 rock grab and sand (tailings) samples has resulted in the discovery of one new metal occurrence at the Motherlode Northeast (NE) area, along with a number of excellent copper (Cu) – gold (Au) results from some old workings outside of but along the east side of the Motherlode Pit, the Sunset Pit area, the Greyhound Pit area and at the Sappho Prospect. The targets are all part of the Greenwood, BC Precious and Critical Minerals Project (Figure 1).

The focus of the 2026 program will be additional Induced Polarization (IP) surveys at the Sappho and Motherlode areas, along with trenching and drilling at Midway, targeting the historical Midway Mine. The initial drill program at the Sappho Skarn Target area has been completed with a total of 1,485 m in 7 holes. The core is being logged and sampled and results will be provided as they are received. Additional Phase 2 drilling is also planned for the Sappho area to test the recently discovered and new IP chargeability anomaly to the southeast of the main skarn area. Additional prospecting, mapping and reconnaissance sampling will be conducted across the entire project area throughout 2026.

IP and Sampling 2026 Highlights

  • Phase 2 Sappho IP results extend the IP Chargeability Anomaly up to 500 m south and 1 km east and is open in both directions (Figures 2 and 3).
  • The core of the IP Chargeability Anomaly ranges from 30 mV/V up to 85 mV/V in intensity, and in many instances is coincident with a strong resistivity anomaly or in some cases a weak conductivity anomaly (Figures 2 and 3).
  • A total of 63 rock grab samples were collected in January – February from the Motherlode-Greyhound area, the Motherlode and Phoenix historical tailings areas, from the Sappho skarn target area and the Rock Creek area (Figures 2 and 3).
  • A new showing, Motherlode Northeast, has been discovered approximately 780 m northeast of the Motherlode pit and recent grab samples have returned up to 5.12 grams per tonne (g/t) Au, 66.7 g/t silver (Ag) and 0.528% Cu (Figures 2 and 3; Table 1).
  • A number of samples with anomalous Cu and Au were collected from a series of workings along the east side of the Motherlode pit, that have been uncovered with recent logging of the Motherlode area, including four rock grab samples returning a range of 0.709% Cu up to 1.8% Cu and 1.37 g/t Au up to 3.61 g/t Au (Figures 2 and 3; Table 1).
  • Two rock grab samples collected from a rubble pile previously unsampled at the southeast corner of the Sunset Pit have returned 1.505% Cu and 1.71% Cu along with 2.42 g/t Au and 3.1 g/t Au, and 17.8 and 29.9 g/t Ag (Figures 2 and 3; Table 1).
  • Grab samples from fine sand and silt at the Motherlode Tailings area and one of the Phoenix Tailings areas has returned up to 0.145% Cu and 0.416 g/t Au from the Motherlode Tailings material and up to 0.16% Cu and 0.831 g/t Au from the Phoenix Tailings material (Figures 2 and 3; Table 1).
  • A rock grab sample collected from the Sappho Skarn Target returned 4.77% Cu, 0.018% cobalt (Co) and 12.3 g/t Ag (Figures 2 and 3; Table 1).

Brian Testo, President and CEO of Grizzly Discoveries, stated, “The results from the geophysical programs at our Sappho target, Midway and Motherlode area, continue to define the most prospective areas and the potential for new precious metals and critical mineral discoveries. The IP survey has outlined an extensive porphyry type anomaly at Sappho and we are excited to receive drilling results from the Sappho Target. We look forward to additional trenching and drilling at Midway along with additional exploration for significant precious metals and critical minerals prospects across our entire 170,000+ acre land holdings in the Greenwood District!“

M42 Expands Defense and National Security Strategy Through Epirus Partnership and Fairfax International Defense Capabilities

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / Messier 42 LLC (“M42”), a private leading global artificial intelligence technology and digital transformation company, today announced that M42’s wholly owned subsidiary, Fairfax National Security Solutions LLC (“Fairfax”), has entered into a teaming arrangement with Epirus Inc. Under the agreement, Fairfax is expected to drive the compliant marketing and sales of select Epirus advanced counter-drone technologies to approved U.S. and allied government customers. M42 believes the agreement represents an important step in expanding Fairfax’s role as an international defense channel.

This agreement highlights the strategic importance of M42’s previously announced agreement to acquire a minority interest in Epirus, a high-growth defense technology company developing advanced counter-drone systems, including the Leonidas family of solid-state, software-defined, high-power microwave systems.

Epirus’ Leonidas platform is designed as a solid-state, high-power microwave system that uses advanced electronics and software-defined capabilities for counter-drone applications. This technology is designed to address the rapidly expanding threat posed by drones across military, homeland security, critical infrastructure, and allied defense environments.

Fairfax will serve as a compliant international channel to support the introduction, engagement, and potential sale of select Epirus counter-drone solutions into approved foreign markets. Fairfax is registered with the U.S. government as an exporter of defense training, equipment, and related defense services and solutions under the Arms Export Control Act and International Traffic in Arms Regulations, enabling participation in U.S. government and approved allied defense programs.

“Unmanned or drone systems are changing the character of modern conflict, creating an urgent need for scalable, sophisticated, and highly adaptable defensive capabilities,” said Patrick M. Walsh, Admiral, US Navy (ret), former Vice Chief of Naval Operations, former Commander, US Pacific Fleet, and a member of M42’s Advisory Board. “M42’s strategy brings together advanced technology, national security expertise, regulatory discipline, and allied-market access at a time when governments are seeking practical and affordable solutions to emerging drone threats. By combining Epirus’ leading counter-drone technology with Fairfax’s defense advisory and international compliance capabilities, M42 is positioning itself to support allied partners in addressing one of the most important defense challenges of our time.”

M42 believes the combination of Epirus’ technology with Fairfax’s national security and compliance infrastructure will create a significant long-term strategic opportunity. M42 expects Fairfax to play a central role in supporting disciplined, compliant, and targeted international engagement with approved allied governments and defense stakeholders.

“This is exactly the type of opportunity M42 was built to pursue,” said a spokesperson for M42. “The global defense environment is moving quickly, and the need for advanced counter-drone capabilities is no longer theoretical. Through our relationship with Epirus and our acquisition of Fairfax, M42 is bringing together leading technology, trusted national security leadership, and a compliant international defense platform. We believe this combination has the potential to become a meaningful contributor to M42’s long-term growth and free cash flow profile, while supporting allied governments in addressing urgent and evolving security needs.”

M42 previously announced its agreement to acquire a minority interest in Epirus in October 2025. The Company also announced its agreement to acquire Fairfax in March 2026 as part of the expansion of its Defense and National Security Unit.

Riverside Resources and Questcorp Complete Expanded Aeromagnetic Drone Survey at La Union Project

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 21, 2026) – Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY0) (“Riverside” or the “Company“), with partner Questcorp, the Company has completed an expanded aeromagnetic drone survey at the La Union Project in Sonora, Mexico. The new data refines the drill targets and improves understanding of district-scale geologic structures. Together with property-wide structural mapping and the high-grade Phase 2 sampling results announced May 5, 2026, this information is being used to finalize drill targets ahead of the fully permitted summer 2026 drill program.

Drill roads and pads are being prepared this week, and arrangements with the drilling contractor are progressing rapidly. The geophysics provides greater conviction in the scale of the potential feeder structures and the robust magnetic sources at depth, supporting both the Carbonate-hosted Replacement Deposit targets and the Sediment-hosted, Carlin-like stratigraphic targets discussed below.

Highlights

  • Expanded drone aeromagnetic survey adds 145 flight lines (193 km) plus 55 km divided into 20 tie lines, for 248 km of total drone coverage building on the 2025 baseline dataset all done with 100m line spacing for quality definition.
  • Improved imaging of structures beneath post-mineral cover, including the new northwest-trending structures identified by spring 2026 field mapping as a potential ore control creates new drill targets.
  • Integrates structural mapping with detailed 1:1,000 geologic field mapping of target areas and district-scale 1:5,000 geologic mapping to characterize interpretations at depth that may be associated with mineralization.
  • An Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey is planned to commence shortly as a further input into Phase 2 drill targeting with planned 5 IP lines that will be done concurrent with drilling the first targets and sets up for continued drilling in Phase 2.
  • Drill roads and pads beginning to be built for upcoming Phase 2 drill program.

“The expanded aeromagnetic survey provides a much clearer view of the La Union Project’s structural framework at depth. Combined with the high-grade sampling results released earlier this month, we now have the data in hand to refine our Phase 2 drill targets with greater conviction,” said John-Mark Staude, President and CEO of Riverside Resources Inc. “The program is progressing well, and our teams are preparing for the launch of drilling in the near term. We are also expanding the drill targets in areas where high-grade gold and base metals were previously mined, and where geophysics can now image potential source targets at depth.”

Survey Overview

The survey was flown with a magnetometer suspended beneath a drone along parallel flight lines, with tie lines flown perpendicular to level the dataset. The expanded grid extends magnetic coverage across the property in all directions relative to the 2025 baseline survey, providing district-wide imaging of structural features and magnetic bodies at depth. The 2025 dataset was a key input into planning the Phase 1 drillholes; the expanded 2026 dataset will allow these structures to be traced more confidently beneath post-mineral cover and build a more complete exploration model for Union.
