First phase of project will expand low-carbon steam production, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support district-scale decarbonization in Seattle

SEATTLE, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CenTrio today announced it is advancing the engineering design for the installation of a 25-megawatt electric boiler at its Western Avenue plant marking the first phase of the facility's decarbonization plan. The boiler will provide approximately 85,000 pounds of steam per hour, enabling CenTrio to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while continuing to serve buildings connected to its district energy system.

CenTrio is partnering with Affiliated Engineers (AEI) to complete the engineering design and with Seattle City Light to secure the necessary power for this high-impact electrification project. Following the completion of engineering, permitting, utility coordination and final approvals, construction is planned to begin in 2027, with the new boiler expected to be operational approximately two years after construction begins.

Flexible Operations, Significant Emissions Reductions

The electric boiler will provide operational flexibility to balance emissions reductions with customer affordability. At maximum utilization, emissions could be reduced by more than 60%, or approximately 42,000 tons annually.

"This project is a great example of Climate Commitment Act dollars working to cost-effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality in the densest place in our state, downtown Seattle," said Washington State Representative Joe Fitzgibbon. The project is supported by $4 million in grants from the Climate Commitment Act's Cap-and-Invest Program, administered by the Washington State Department of Commerce.

District-Scale Benefits

Decarbonizing at the district level offers advantages over building-by-building retrofits, including lower capital costs per ton of carbon dioxide abated, less burden on the electric utility to support network capacity expansion, and opportunities for large-scale thermal energy storage that can reduce peak demand and provide demand-response capability.

"These customers can benefit from low-carbon steam without undertaking major individual retrofit projects, eliminating significant costs and building disruption, while new customer buildings gain access to a low-carbon steam option in the future," said Ian Goepferd, Vice President and General Manager of CenTrio – Seattle. The CenTrio Seattle steam system currently serves 140 buildings in the greater Seattle area, including three major hospitals.

Building on a History of Innovation and Electrification

The Western Avenue Plant has upgraded its technology and fuel sources throughout its long history to continue providing reliable and economical thermal energy while advancing environmental goals. Electrifying the Seattle steam system represents another significant addition to CenTrio's sustainable energy portfolio, which already includes the nation's largest net-zero district cooling system in downtown Chicago and one of the country's largest sewer heat recovery systems in Denver.

- 4.2 million lbs. of Indicated and 10.1 million lbs. of Inferred U₃O₈

- 31.1 million lbs. of Indicated and 57.3 million lbs. of Inferred V₂O₅,

- Includes 21.1 Mt Indicated at 119 ppm U₃O₈ Eq1. and 34.0 Mt Inferred at 170 ppm U₃O₈ Eq1.

- Mineral Resource Footprint Covers approximately 4.3% of Jaguar's 210,284 ha Laguna Salada Project, Highlighting Significant Potential for Resource Expansion.

- Potential Western Supply of Reliable Critical Minerals: Offers the U.S. and allied markets a secure source of uranium and vanadium in the Western Hemisphere.

- Permitted for Exploration Advancement and Expansion Potential: Priority work program to undertake targeted infill pitting/trenching and sonic drilling.

- Well-Financed, Cash-Rich Balance Sheet: Company maintains nearly US$18 million in cash and no debt

TORONTO, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jaguar Uranium Corp. (NYSE American: JAGU) ("Jaguar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an independent Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE" or "Mineral Resource Estimate") for its 100%-owned flagship Laguna Salada Uranium-Vanadium Project, located in Chubut Province, Argentina. The MRE was prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ("Regulation S-K 1300") of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared by independent geological consulting firms Caracle Creek Chile SpA and Atticus Geoscience Consulting Ltd., with an effective date of October 5, 2026. All dollar values are in USD.

"The completion of this independent Regulation S-K 1300 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate marks a landmark milestone for Jaguar Uranium as we quantify the significant scale of Laguna Salada with this resource estimate representing only about 4% of the total Project area," said Steven Gold, Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar Uranium Corp. "Laguna Salada represents one of the largest potential undeveloped surficial uranium-vanadium deposits in South America, at a time of growing political support for new Western sources of critical and energy metals. Its favorable beneficiation characteristics may allow us to upgrade the raw gravel into a high-grade fine fraction, potentially supporting an efficient, low-impact development pathway in an established mining region."

Mineral Resource Statement

The Mineral Resource Estimate has been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-K 1300 and the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by NI 43-101. Mineral Resources are reported using a Net Smelter Return ("NSR") cut-off value of US$12.08/t and satisfy the applicable requirement for reasonable prospects of economic extraction based on the assumptions summarized in the notes to Table 1. MRE is effective October 5, 2026.

Table 1: Mineral Resource Statement for the Laguna Salada Uranium-Vanadium Deposit.

Notes to Table 1 - Mineral Resource Statement:

- Qualified Persons: The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared under the direction of Simon Mortimer (FAIG) of Atticus Geoscience Consulting Ltd., Qualified Person.

- Resource Classification: The Mineral Resource has been classified in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (CIM, 2014), with consideration of the CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines (CIM, 2019), into Indicated and Inferred categories within the Laguna Salada, Pampa de Arroqui and Buried Lake estimation domains. No Measured Mineral Resources have been classified. Classification considered geological confidence, mineralized-domain geometry, sample distribution, sample support, data quality, grade continuity, variography, Quantitative Kriging Neighborhood Analysis (QKNA), estimation pass and block model validation. Pass 2 was used to support Indicated classification and Pass 3 was used to support Inferred classification. Pass 4 was used as a global fill pass only and was not used to support classified Mineral Resources.

- Reporting Cut-Off: Mineral Resources are reported above an NSR cut-off value of $12.08/t due to its surficial disposition, which is approximately equivalent to a U₃O₈-only economic cut-off of 100.18 ppm U₃O₈. Buried Lake and the pit-constrained portion of Pampa de Arroqui are additionally constrained within an optimized open-pit shell laying 5 to 8 metres below surface.

- High-Grade Capping: Top cuts were applied to U₃O₈ by estimation domain at distinct high-grade distribution breaks and affected fewer than 1.5% of the total sample population across all domains. V₂O₅ was not capped.

- Specific Gravity (SG): Density was assigned by lithological unit using 268 density measurements. The overall dataset has a mean density of 1.712 t/m³, with values ranging from 1.240 t/m³ to 2.095 t/m³.

- U₃O₈ Equivalent: U₃O₈ Eq (ppm) = U₃O₈ (ppm) + V₂O₅ (ppm) × 0.0442. The NSR and U₃O₈ equivalent calculations use metallurgical recoveries of 84.9% for U₃O₈ and 59.5% for V₂O₅, together with a U₃O₈ price of US$84/lb. and a V₂O₅ price of US$5.30/lb.

- Rounding: Numbers have been rounded to reflect the appropriate level of precision. Differences may occur in totals due to rounding.

- Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves: Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred Mineral Resources have a lower level of geological confidence than Indicated Mineral Resources and must not be converted to Mineral Reserves. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration; however, there is no certainty that further exploration will result in an upgrade in classification.

- Material Factors: Based on the information available as of the effective date, the Qualified Persons are not aware of any known legal, political, environmental or other relevant factors that would reasonably be expected to materially affect the Mineral Resource Estimate. Mineral Resources remain subject to permitting, environmental, technical, economic, social and other risks and uncertainties.

Location, Geology and Mineralization

The Laguna Salada deposit is a district-scale, near-surface, surficial uranium-vanadium asset covering 28 mining concessions over 210284.45 hectares in central Patagonia (Figure 1). Mineralization occurs as shallow, tabular, caliche-style gravels and unconformity-hosted zones that could be amenable to low-cost open-pit extraction and physical beneficiation. The potential mining and processing methods, costs, environmental effects and economic viability of the Mineral Resources have not been established and will require further technical studies.

Uranium-vanadium mineralization at Laguna Salada occurs in unconsolidated gravels of the Pampa de Arroqui Formation, in unconsolidated gravels of the Gran Laguna Salada Formation, and near the unconformity between Quaternary strata and the underlying substratum, including sandstones and pelite of the Salamanca Formation and sandstones and conglomerates of the Puesto Manuel Arce Formation (Figure 2). The principal uranium-vanadium mineral recognized at Laguna Salada is carnotite, which commonly occurs as yellow-green powdery or finely crystalline material within the sandy matrix of the gravel, as partial rims on sand grains and clasts, and locally as staining within carbonate-cemented matrix material.

Three principal styles of uranium-vanadium mineralization are recognized on the Project: near-surface, tabular, caliche-style uranium-vanadium mineralization in unconsolidated sandy gravel at Guanaco and Lago Seco; unconformity-related uranium-vanadium mineralization at Buried Lake; and volcanic-hosted uranium-vanadium mineralization at La Rosada. The principal Mineral Resource areas are Laguna Salada, historically referred to as Lago Seco, Pampa de Arroqui, historically referred to as Guanaco, and Buried Lake (Figure 3 and Figure 4).

Upcoming Work Program

Jaguar is targeting a work program designed to upgrade Inferred resources and expand mineralization across open target areas:

- Pampa de Arroqui & Laguna Salada Infill: Excavation of approximately 250 new surface pits and trenches to achieve 200 m to 100 m grid coverage.

- Buried Lake Sonic Drilling: Completion of 1,500 metres of sonic/vibrosonic drilling (about 100–150 drill holes) to recover intact, representative core across the unconformity-hosted domain.

- Metallurgical & Field Studies: Representative sampling for bench-scale beneficiation/vanadium recovery optimization, environmental baseline monitoring, and updated MRE modeling.

Drilling, Sampling & Analytical Protocols

The Mineral Resource Estimate was primarily defined using data from 2,146 historical pits and trenches comprising whole, screened and paired samples. The Qualified Persons considered conventional drilling unsuitable for primary grade estimation because poor core recovery and preferential loss of fine-grained carnotite-bearing matrix may bias samples from the loose gravel host. Data from 57 historical reverse-circulation holes were used only to support interpretations of subsurface geological continuity because air-flushing may have biased the samples. Historical pit and trench sampling generally comprised continuous vertical sidewall channel samples that were analyzed either as whole samples or after screening to the less-than-one-quarter-inch fraction. Sample preparation and analysis were conducted by Alex Stewart Assayers and ALS Chemex using four-acid digestion and ICP-OES, ICP-AES or ICP-MS methods, with an over-limit method used for samples above 10,000 ppm.

SCSP National Security Commission on Robotics for Advanced Manufacturing Releases Preliminary Report: America Leads in Robotics Innovation but Is Not on Track to Lead in Physical AI

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the National Security Commission on Robotics for Advanced Manufacturing, an initiative of the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP), released its preliminary report. According to preliminary findings, the United States leads in the technologies that form the "brain" of modern robotics, including artificial intelligence, computer vision, autonomy, and software, but it lacks the scale to deploy robots, produce robotic systems, and manufacture critical components domestically.

Co-chaired by Senator Ted Budd (R-NC), Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and SCSP President Ylli Bajraktari, the Commission describes a consequential imbalance. China installed 295,000 industrial robots in 2024, 54% of the global total, compared with 34,200 in the United States. China's installed base now exceeds two million robots, more than five times America's. The U.S. ranks eighth in robot density, and only 12.1% of U.S. manufacturing plants reported using robots in 2021.

"Physical AI" is AI embodied in machines that sense and act in the real world. The Commission finds that its gains will arrive only when the technology is installed, integrated, and put to productive use. The report identifies a supply-demand paradox at the center of the problem: manufacturers wait for robots to become cheaper and better proven, while robotics firms cannot lower costs or improve performance without deployment at scale. The Commission calls this a market failure that is unlikely to resolve on its own.

Key findings from the Preliminary Report include:

- A fragmented national framework. Federal robotics programs are spread across at least four executive departments with no single accountable authority. Public confidence is uneven, and dependence on foreign components, including China's roughly 94% share of permanent-magnet production, creates supply-chain and cybersecurity risk.

- A talent pipeline under strain. U.S. manufacturers could face up to 1.9 million unfilled jobs by 2033. Robotics can help fill dangerous and chronically vacant roles, but employment effects are not predetermined. They depend on the pace of adoption and on whether training and job redesign keep up.

- Barriers to adoption at scale. Small and medium-sized manufacturers, about 95% of U.S. manufacturing firms, face capital constraints, knowledge gaps, narrow return-on-investment metrics, and cybersecurity and liability uncertainty. New AI-assisted programming, low-code tools, and collaborative robots are expanding what is possible, but safety and performance standards are lagging.

- An innovation ecosystem that cannot yet scale. Venture capital timelines are poorly matched to hardware, and supply chains are opaque and concentrated. Operational data is scarce and fragmented, and integration costs remain high.

The preliminary report concludes that the United States needs a national mission organized around deployment. It would mobilize private-sector dynamism, research strength, capital markets, regional manufacturing ecosystems, and skilled workers, without copying China's state-directed model or requiring domestic production of every component.

"The United States invented much of the intelligence behind modern robotics, but intelligence that can't be built, deployed, and sustained at scale won't secure American industrial leadership," said Bajraktari. "This report shows that the challenge is a system problem: adoption, production, workforce, financing, and data all reinforce one another. Fixing it will take coordinated national focus."

"To unlock the full economic potential of artificial intelligence, we must deploy it at the physical level across our economy. Reindustrializing the United States is essential to strengthening critical supply chains, securing American leadership in emerging technologies, and staying ahead of China. The Commission's preliminary report is an important step toward identifying how we can harness the full potential of physical AI, automation, and robotics. I look forward to continuing my work with the Commission to advance practical solutions that put U.S. tech leadership and innovation first," said Senator Budd.

"I will always fight to ensure the United States remains the global leader in manufacturing. We need to bring back and expand critical manufacturing processes here at home and shore up vulnerable supply chains in our most important sectors. And we can do so without harming America's workers. I thank the Commissioners for their hard work on this Interim Report," said Senator Slotkin

The report is a diagnosis, not a set of prescriptions. The Commission's final report, scheduled for March 2027, will propose recommendations for federal, state, and regional leaders; manufacturers and technology companies; educators and workforce-development organizations; workers and labor representatives; investors; and research institutions.

About the Commission

The National Security Commission on Robotics for Advanced Manufacturing is a bipartisan initiative of the Special Competitive Studies Project. It brings together leaders from manufacturing, technology, academia, research, investment, national security, and government to ensure the United States has the industrial capacity, supply chains, and skilled workforce to build, deploy, and sustain physical AI systems at scale.

About SCSP

The Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit project focused on strengthening America's long-term competitiveness as artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies reshape national security, the economy, and society.

Speakeasy and Tailscale bring private networking to enterprise MCP

Private network access in the Speakeasy AI Control Plane runs an organization's MCP gateway on its own Tailscale tailnet, adding MCP-specific governance and policy to private, identity-aware connectivity, with every request carrying Tailscale user and device identity.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Speakeasy, the AI control plane for enterprise, today announced a partnership with Tailscale, the identity-first networking company, to bring private networking to enterprise Model Context Protocol (MCP). Companies can now run the Speakeasy MCP gateway as a node on their own Tailscale tailnet.

Many MCP deployments still rely on publicly reachable endpoints. With this integration, customers can run Speakeasy's MCP gateway directly on their tailnet and add Speakeasy's MCP-specific governance and controls to that existing private connectivity. Every MCP server is served on the tailnet, the public route can be closed entirely, and every request carries the Tailscale user and device it came from. The gateway that governs how AI agents reach a company's tools is reachable only from devices and identities that the company's network already trusts.

"Agents are now acting both on behalf of employees and independently across the whole business. From the beginning of our work on the AI Control Plane, our thesis has been that every agent action requires the same controls as a human employee. Many businesses require employees to use a VPN like Tailscale to access sensitive internal systems. Why should agents be any different? The MCP servers agents call should sit behind the same controls. With Speakeasy, they do," said Sagar Batchu, Co-founder and CEO of Speakeasy.

Two networks of trust, joined

The two platforms work in harmony. Tailscale provides private, identity-aware connectivity through its tailnets, which connect a company's people, devices, and services without putting any of them on the public internet. Speakeasy adds MCP-specific governance and policy on top of that connectivity, codifying and enforcing what actions agents are allowed to take.

Tailscale has increasingly focused its product work on the growing use of AI agents and AI infrastructure across private networks, and its customers have been adding agents to tailnets built for employees. The partnership lets those customers add Speakeasy's MCP-specific governance and controls to agent traffic already moving over their tailnet. A Tailscale customer turns on Speakeasy and its agents' tool calls travel over the tailnet it already runs, with nothing new to deploy and no separate network to manage.

"Customers are increasingly connecting AI agents to the same systems their employees already access over Tailscale. Speakeasy gives teams another way to apply MCP-specific controls while keeping that traffic private and identity-aware on the tailnet," said Travis Perkins, VP of Global Customer Advocacy at Tailscale.

Polar keeps its internal MCP servers off the internet

"At Polar, we require Tailscale to access critical services like our backoffice and data analytics. Our engineering and support teams rely on MCP servers every day to power their agent workflows, but we didn't have the same level of MCP-specific governance and auditing for those workflows. Speakeasy's MCP Gateway and its Tailscale integration closed that gap in one go, giving us a single entry point we can control, audit, and keep off the public internet," said François Voron, CTO of Polar.

Polar provides payment infrastructure for software developers, handling billing, subscriptions, and payouts for the businesses that sell through it. Its engineering team has run MCP servers on Speakeasy since 2025, starting with an onboarding flow that configures a merchant's products and pricing from a plain-language description.

The tools behind that flow can also issue refunds, change subscriptions, and read revenue data. Polar's customer-facing MCP server stays public so merchants' agents can reach it. The servers its own staff use for support and operations are set to private-only and answer on Polar's tailnet alone, the network the team already relied on to reach its backoffice and data analytics.

How the integration works

The AI Control Plane runs on Kubernetes, and the Tailscale Kubernetes operator is what places each organization's MCP gateway on that organization's tailnet. An administrator authorizes Speakeasy with a scoped Tailscale OAuth client, the operator provisions a highly available proxy and ingress for the organization, and a per-organization attestor verifies each request and attaches the Tailscale identity before it reaches an MCP server. Every organization's credentials, node, and workloads are isolated from every other's.

The integration composes with Speakeasy's MCP tunnels, which connect MCP servers running inside a private network to the gateway over an outbound-only connection. Together they mean an agent can reach a private MCP server without ever touching the public internet.

Availability

Private network access with Tailscale is available now for Enterprise organizations on the Speakeasy AI Control Plane and is rolling out per organization. Tailscale is the first supported private network provider. Setup instructions are in the Tailscale private network access documentation, and the private MCP gateway release post covers the design in more depth.

About Speakeasy

Speakeasy is the AI Control Plane for enterprise. It governs every agent action inside an organization with on-device policy enforcement, a secure MCP gateway, shadow AI detection, and compliance-ready audit logs, so companies can adopt AI agents across the business without losing control of what those agents can reach or do.
